Mathayo 19
1 Kane Yesu osetieko wacho gigi, noa Galili kendo nodhi nyaka e gwengʼ mar Judea man loka aora Jordan.
When Jesus had finished these discourses, He removed from Galilee and came into that part of Judaea which lay beyond the Jordan.
2 Oganda maduongʼ noluwe, kendo nochangogi kuno.
And a vast multitude followed him, and He cured them there.
3 Jo-Farisai moko nobiro ire mondo oteme. Negipenje niya, “Bende chik oyie mondo ngʼato oketh keny gi chiege nikech wach moro amora?”
Then came some of the Pharisees to Him to put Him to the proof by the question, "Has a man a right to divorce his wife whenever he chooses?"
4 To nodwokogi niya, “Donge usesomo ni kar chakruok Jachwech ‘nochweyogi dichwo gi dhako,’
"Have you not read," He replied, "that He who made them 'made them' from the beginning 'male and female,
5 nomedo wacho ni, ‘Kuom mano, dichwo nowe wuon kod min kendo nopadre gi chiege, mi ji ariyogo nodok ringruok achiel?’
and said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall be one'?
6 Omiyo koro ok gin ji ariyo, to gin ringruok achiel. Kuom mano, gima Nyasaye oseriwo kaachiel kik dhano moro amora pogi.”
Thus they are no longer two, but 'one'! What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."
7 Negiwachone niya, “Ka en kamano to marangʼo Musa nochiko ni dichwo mondo omi chiege barup weruok mar ketho keny eka oriembe?”
"Why then," said they, "did Moses command the husband to give her 'a written notice of divorce,' and so put her away?"
8 Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Musa noyieneu mondo uketh keny gi mondu nikech chunyu matek. To ok ne en kamano nyaka aa chakruok.
"Moses," He replied, "in consideration of the hardness of your nature permitted you to put away your wives, but it has not been so from the beginning.
9 Anyisou ni dichwo moro amora moketho keny gi chiege, makmana ne wach chode, mi okendo dhako machielo, to otimo richo mar terruok.”
And I tell you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except her unfaithfulness, and marries another woman, commits adultery."
10 Jopuonjre nowachone niya, “Ka kamano e kaka wach chalo e kind dichwo gi dhako to ber moloyo ka ngʼato ok okendo.”
"If this is the case with a man in relation to his wife," said the disciples to Him, "it is better not to marry."
11 To Yesu nowachonegi niya, “Ji duto ok nyal rwako wachno, makmana joma osemi nyalo mar timo kamano.
"It is not every man," He replied, "who can receive this teaching, but only those on whom the grace has been bestowed.
12 Nimar jomoko gin bwoch nikech ne onywolgi kamano, joma moko ji ema oloko bwoch, to mamoko to oseweyo kend nikech wach pinyruodh polo. Ngʼat mohero rwako wachni to mondo orwake.”
There are men who from their birth have been disabled from marriage, others who have been so disabled by men, and others who have disabled themselves for the sake of the Kingdom of the Heavens. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it."
13 Eka ji nokelone Yesu nyithindo matindo, mondo oyie lwete kuomgi, kendo olemnegi. To jopuonjre nokwero joma nokelogigo.
Then young children were brought to Him for Him to put His hands on them and pray; but the disciples interfered.
14 To Yesu nowacho niya, “Weuru nyithindo matindo obi ira, kendo kik utamgi, nikech pinyruodh polo en mar ji machal ka magi.”
Jesus however said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them; for it is to those who are childlike that the Kingdom of the Heavens belongs."
15 Kane oseketo lwete kuomgi, nomedo dhi nyime koa kanyo.
So He laid His hands upon them and went away.
16 Eka ngʼat moro nobiro ir Yesu mopenje niya, “Japuonj, en angʼo maber monego atim mondo eka ayud ngima mochwere?” (aiōnios g166)
"Teacher," said one man, coming up to Him, "what that is good shall I do in order to win the Life of the Ages?" (aiōnios g166)
17 To Yesu nowacho niya, “Angʼo momiyo ipenja kuom gima ber? Nitie mana Ngʼat achiel kende maber. Ka idwaro donjo e ngima to rit chike.”
"Why do you ask me," He replied, "about what is good? There is only One who is truly good. But if you desire to enter into Life, keep the Commandments."
18 Ngʼatno nopenje niya, “Chike mage?” Yesu nodwoko ni, “‘Kik ineki, kik iterri, kik ikwal, kik ihang wach,
"Which Commandments?" he asked. Jesus answered, "'Thou shalt not kill;' 'Thou shalt not commit adultery;' 'Thou shalt not steal;' 'Thou shalt not lie in giving evidence;'
19 luor wuonu gi minu, kendo her wadu kaka iherori iwuon.’”
'Honour thy father and thy mother'; and 'Thou shalt love thy fellow man as much as thyself.'"
20 Wuowi matin-no nowachone niya, “Mago duto aserito. En angʼo machielo ma pod aremo?”
"All of these," said the young man, "I have carefully kept. What do I still lack?"
21 Yesu nodwoke niya, “Kidwaro doko malongʼo chuth to dhiyo ius gigi duto mondo imi joma odhier eka inibed gi mwandu e polo. Bangʼ timo kamano to bi mondo iluwa.”
"If you desire to be perfect," replied Jesus, "go and sell all that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have wealth in Heaven; and come, follow me."
22 Ka wuowi matin-no nowinjo mano, noa ka chunye lit, nikech ne en-gi mwandu mathoth ahinya.
On hearing those words the young man went away much cast down; for he had much property.
23 Eka Yesu nowachone jopuonjrene niya, “Awachonu adier ni en gima tek mondo jamoko odonji e pinyruodh polo.
So Jesus said to His disciples, "I solemnly tell you that it is with difficulty that a rich man will enter the Kingdom of the Heavens.
24 Bende anyisou ni yot mondo ngamia okadhi e wangʼ sandan moloyo jamoko donjo e pinyruodh Nyasaye.”
Yes, I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."
25 Kane jopuonjre owinjo wachni, ne gidhier nono kendo negipenjore niya, “Kare en ngʼa manyalo kwo?”
These words utterly amazed the disciples, and they asked, "Who then can be saved?"
26 To Yesu nongʼiyogi tir mi owachonegi niya, “Mano en gima ok nyalre kuom dhano, to kuom Nyasaye to gik moko duto nyalore.”
Jesus looked at them and said, "With men this is impossible, but with God everything is possible."
27 Petro nodwoke niya, “Wan waseweyo gik moko duto mondo waluwi! Kara en angʼo mwabiro yudo?”
Then Peter said to Jesus, "See, we have forsaken everything and followed you; what then will be our reward?"
28 Yesu nowachonegi niya, “Awachonu adier ni chiengʼ ma nolokie gik moko duto manyien, ka Wuod Dhano nobed e kom lochne man-gi duongʼ, un musebedo ka uluwa bende unubed e kombe mag loch apar gariyo, kungʼado bura ne ogendini apar gariyo mag Israel.
"I solemnly tell you," replied Jesus, "that in the New Creation, when the Son of Man has taken His seat on His glorious throne, all of you who have followed me shall also sit on twelve thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato moseweyo ode, kata owetene kata nyiminene, kata wuoro kata min, kata nyithindo, kata puothe nikech an, noyud gigo nyadi mia, kendo nocham ngima mochwere. (aiōnios g166)
And whoever has forsaken houses, or brothers or sisters, or father or mother, or children or lands, for my sake, shall receive many times as much and shall have as his inheritance the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
30 To ji mangʼeny masani okwongo nobed chien mogik, kendo joma sani ni chien mogik, nobed mokwongo.
"But many who are now first will be last, and many who are now last will be first.
