Luke 11
1 One day Jesus was at a certain place praying, and, when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Master, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.”
Sie len ah Jesus el pre in sie acn. Ke el tari, sie sin mwet tumal lutlut fahk nu sel, “Leum, luti kut in pre, oana ke John el luti nu sin mwet tumal lutlut ah.”
2 “When you pray,” Jesus answered, “say – ‘Father, may your name be held holy, your kingdom come.
Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Kowos in pre ouinge: ‘Papa: Lela Ine mutal lom in akfulatyeyuk; Lela Tokosrai lom in tuku.
3 Give us each day the bread that we will need;
Kite kut mwe mongo ma kut enenu pingana len.
4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who wrongs us; and take us not into temptation.’”
Nunak munas nu sesr ke ma koluk lasr, Mweyen kut nunak munas nu sin mwet nukewa su oru koluk nu sesr. Ac tia kol kut nu ke mwe srike upa.’”
5 Jesus also said to them, “Suppose that one of you who has a friend were to go to him in the middle of the night and say ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,
Ac Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut, “Fin pa sie suwos som nu lohm sin mwet kawuk se lal ke infulwen fong ac fahk nu sel, ‘Mwet kawuk, sewin tolkwe lof in bread an.
6 for a friend of mine has arrived at my house after a journey, and I have nothing to offer him;’
Kawuk se luk fahsr nu ke sie pac acn tuh pa tui yuruk, a wangin ma ngan sang kital!’
7 And suppose that the other should answer from inside ‘Do not trouble me; the door is already fastened, and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything’;
Na kawuk se lom el fin kasma luin lohm uh me, ‘Nimet tukasru! Ku kom tia liye lah srungul uh kauli tari? Nga ac tulik nutik inge mutulla tari. Nga tia ku in tukakek ac sot enenu lom an.’
8 I tell you that, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is a friend, yet because of his persistence he will rouse himself and give him what he wants.
Na fuka? Nga fahk nu suwos lah el finne tia tukakek ac sot bread uh nu sum ke sripen kom mwet kawuk lal, tusruk ke sripen sumwekin ac kuinsrim lom an, el ac tukakek ac sot mwe enenu lom nukewa.
9 “And so I say to you – Ask, and your prayer will be granted, search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
Ouinge nga fahk nu suwos: Siyuk, ac ac fah itukot nu suwos; suk, ac kowos fah konauk; towolak, ac ac fah ikakla nu suwos.
10 For the person who asks receives, everyone who searches finds, and to the person who knocks the door will be opened.
Tuh elos nukewa su siyuk ac fah eis, ac el su suk el fah konauk, ac srungul ac fah ikakla nu sin kutena mwet su towolak.
11 What father among you, if his son asks him for a fish, will give him a snake instead,
Su suwos su oasr tulik natu ac sang nu sin wen natul soko wet pwasin el fin siyuk ke soko ik?
12 or, if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
Ku el fin siyuk ke sie atro, ya kom ac sang nu sel soko scorpion?
13 If you, then, naturally wicked though you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
Kowos finne koluk, a kowos etu in sang ma wo nu sin tulik nutuwos uh. Kalem na lah Papa tomowos inkusrao El ac oru arulana yohk liki, ac El ac fah sang Ngun Mutal nu selos su siyuk sel!”
14 Once Jesus was driving out a mute demon, and, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke. The people were amazed at this;
Jesus el lusla sie demon su oru mwet se kofla kaskas, ac ke pacl se demon sac illa ah, mwet sac mutawauk in kaskas. Un mwet se ma liye ah arulana fwefela,
15 but some of them said, “He drives out demons by the help of Beelzebul, the chief of the demons”;
tusruktu kutu selos fahk mu, “Beelzebul, leum lun demon uh, pa sang ku nu sel in luselosyak uh.”
16 while others, to test him, asked him for some sign from the heavens.
Ac kutu pac selos kena srikal Jesus, ouinge elos siyuk sel elan oru sie mwe akul in akkalemye lah ku lal ma inkusrao me.
17 Jesus himself, however, was aware of what they were thinking, and said to them, “Any kingdom wholly divided against itself becomes a desolation; and a divided house falls.
Tuh Jesus el etu ma elos nunku, na el fahk nu selos, “Kutena mutunfacl su srisrielik ac alein sie sin sie fah tia oan paht; sie sou su srisrielik ac fah musalelik.
18 So, too, if Satan is wholly divided against himself, how can his kingdom last? Yet you say that I drive out demons by the help of Beelzebul.
Ke ma inge, u lun Satan uh fin tukeni aacnwuki, na tokosrai lal uh ac ku fuka? Kowos fahk mu nga lusla demon uh mweyen Beelzebul el se ku luk in oru.
19 But, if it is by Beelzebul’s help that I drive out demons, by whose help is it that your own sons drive them out? Therefore they will themselves be your judges.
Fin pa ingan ouiya nga oru uh, na mwet lowos uh luselosla fuka? Mwet lowos uh sifacna akpwayei lah kowos sutuela!
20 But, if it is by the hand of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God must already be upon you.
Tiana ouingan, a ku lun God pa oru nga in lusla demon uh, ac ma inge akpwayei lah Tokosrai lun God tuku tari nu yuruwos.
21 When a strong man is keeping guard, fully armed, over his own mansion, his property is in safety;
“Ke sie mwet fokoko el akoela tari kufwen mwe mweun lal nukewa in karingin lohm sel, na ma lal nukewa ac oanna wo.
22 but, when one still stronger has attacked and overpowered him, he takes away all the weapons on which the other had relied, and divides his spoil.
Tusruktu sie mwet ma ku lukel fin tuku lainul ac kutangulla, el ac usla kufwen mweun nukewa ma mwet sac tuh lulalfongi, ac kitalik ma el pisrala uh.
23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and the person who does not help me to gather is scattering.
“El su tia wiyu, el lainyu. Ac el su tia wiyu eisani, el sisalik.
24 No sooner does a foul spirit leave someone, than it passes through places where there is no water, in search of rest; and finding none, it says ‘I will go back to the home which I left’;
“Ke pacl se sie ngun fohkfok ac illa liki sie mwet, el ac forfor in acn ma wangin kof we, in suk acn elan mongla we. El fin tia ku in konauk, el ac fahk nu sel sifacna, ‘Nga ac folokla nu in lohm se nga muta we meet ah.’
25 but, on coming there, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order.
Ouinge el ac folokla ac liye lah acn sac nasnasla ac arulana akoeyukla wo.
26 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in, and make their home there; and the last state of that person proves to be worse than the first.”
Na el ac illa ac sifil solama itkosr pac ngun fohkfok ma arulana koluk lukel, na elos ac tuku ac muta we. Na ac oru tuh moul lun mwet sac ac koluk liki na meet ah.”
27 As Jesus was saying this, a woman in the crowd, raising her voice, exclaimed, “Happy was the mother who bore you and nursed you!”
Ke Jesus el fahk ma inge, mutan se kasak liki inmasrlon mwet uh ac fahk nu sel, “Insewowo mutan se su oswekomla ac katitii kom!”
28 But Jesus replied, “Rather, happy are those who listen to God’s message and keep it.”
A Jesus el topuk, “Aok pwaye, tuh elos su lohng kas lun God ac akos, ac insewowo yohk liki!’”
29 As the crowds increased, Jesus began to speak, “This generation is a wicked generation. It is asking a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah.
Ke mwet uh iktokeni nu yorol Jesus, el sifilpa fahk, “Fuka lupan koluk lun mwet in pacl inge uh! Elos siyuk sie mwe akul lulap, tuh wangin ma ac itukyang nu selos sayen mwe akul kacl Jonah.
30 For, as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.
In oapana ke mwet palu Jonah el tuh sie mwe akul nu sin mwet Nineveh, ouinge Wen nutin Mwet el ac fah sie mwe akul nu sin mwet in pacl inge.
31 At the judgment the Queen of the South will rise up with the people of this generation, and will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon; and here is more than a Solomon!
Ke Len in Nununku uh, Kasra lun Sheba el ac mau tuyak ac orek loh lain mwet in pacl inge uh, mweyen el tuh tuku liki acn sel su oan yen loeslana in tuh porongo kas lalmwetmet lal Solomon; ac nga fahk nu suwos lah oasr sie inge su arulana yohk lukel Solomon.
32 At the judgment the men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation, and will condemn it, because they repented at Jonah’s proclamation; and here is more than a Jonah!
Ke Len in Nununku, mwet Nineveh elos ac mau tuyak ac orek loh lain kowos, mweyen elos tuh forla liki ma koluk lalos ke elos lohng luti lal Jonah; ac nga fahk nu suwos lah oasr sie inge su arulana yohk lukel Jonah!
33 No one lights a lamp, and then puts it in the cellar or under a basket, but he puts it on the lamp-stand, so that anyone who comes in may see the light.
“Wangin sie mwet ac akosak sie lam ac okanla, ku afinya ke sie ahlu. El ac filiya fin sukan lam uh, tuh mwet uh in liye kalem kac ke elos ac utyak nu in lohm uh.
34 The lamp of the body is your eye. When your eye is unclouded, your whole body, also, is lit up; but, as soon as your eye is diseased, your body, also, is darkened.
Atronmutun mwet uh oana sie lam nu ke mano. Atronmotom fin nasnas, na monum nufon ac sessesla ke kalem; tusruktu atronmotom fin koluk, monum nufon ac fah lohsr.
35 Take care, therefore, that the inner light is not darkness.
Kowos karinganang tuh kalem su oan in kowos an in tia lohsr.
36 If, then, your whole body is lit up, and no corner of it darkened, the whole will be lit up, just as when a lamp gives you light by its brilliance.”
Monum nufon fin sessesla ke kalem ac wangin kitin acn lohsr kac, ac fah arulana kalem, oana ke sie lam ac tolkowosyak ke kalem yohk la.”
37 As Jesus finished speaking, a Pharisee asked him to breakfast with him, and Jesus went in and took his place at the table.
Tukun Jesus el kaskas tari, sie mwet Pharisee solal elan welul mongo; ouinge el utyak ac akola in mongo.
38 The Pharisee noticed, to his astonishment, that Jesus omitted the ceremonial washing before breakfast.
Mwet Pharisee sac lut ke el liye lah Jesus el tiana winwinla meet liki el mongo.
39 But the Master said to him, “You Pharisees do, it is true, clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside you yourselves are filled with greed and wickedness.
Ouinge Leum el fahk nu sel, “Kowos mwet Pharisee uh oaru na in ohlla acn lik ke cup ac ahlu in mongo lowos uh, a insiowos sesseslana ke sulallal ac ma koluk.
40 Fools! Did not the maker of the outside make the inside too?
Kowos mwet nikin! God, su orala acn lik El oayapa orala acn loac!
41 Only give away what is in them in charity, and at once you have the whole clean.
A kowos in sang ma oan in cup ac ahlu lowos an nu sin mwet sukasrup, na ma nukewa ac fah nasnas nu suwos.
42 But alas for you Pharisees! You pay tithes on mint, rue, and herbs of all kinds, and pass over justice and love to God. These last you ought to have put into practice without neglecting the first.
“We nu suwos mwet Pharisee! Kowos sang nu sin God sie tafu singoul, finne ke mahsrik mwe akyuye mongo oana mint ac rue, a kowos pilesru nununku suwohs ac lungse nu sin God. Fal kowos in oru ma inge, ac tia pilesru ma saya uh.
43 Alas for you Pharisees! You delight to have the front seat in the synagogues, and to be greeted in the markets with respect.
“We nu suwos mwet Pharisee! Kowos lungse nien muta fulat in iwen lolngok uh, ac in paingyuk kowos ke kas in sunak ke nien kuka uh.
44 Alas for you! You are like unsuspected graves, over which men walk unawares.”
We nu suwos! Kowos oana kulyuk ma wangin akul kac, na mwet uh fahsr fac ac tia akilen.”
45 Here one of the students of the Law interrupted him by saying, “Teacher, when you say this, you are insulting us also.”
Sie sin mwet luti Ma Sap uh fahk nu sel, “Mwet Luti, ke kom fahk ma inge, kom akkolukye kut pac!”
46 But Jesus went on, “Alas for you, too, you students of the Law! You load people with loads that are too heavy to carry, but do not, yourselves, touch them with one of your fingers.
Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “We nu suwos pac, mwet luti Ma Sap! Kowos sang mwe utuk toasr nu fin mwet uh, a kowos tia asroela sokofanna kufinpouwos in kasrelos us ma inge.
47 Alas for you! You build the monuments of the prophets whom your ancestors killed.
We nu suwos! Kowos orala kulyuk na wowo nu sin mwet palu uh — nuna mwet palu na ma papa matu tomowos elos tuh onela.
48 You are actually witnesses to your ancestors’ acts and show your approval of them, because, while they killed the prophets, you build tombs for them.
Kowos sifacna akkalemye lah kowos insese nu ke ma mwet matu lowos elos oru meet ah. Elos uniya mwet palu ah, na kowos musaela kulyuk lalos uh.
49 That is why the wisdom of God said – ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles,
Ke sripa se inge, Lalmwetmet lun God fahk mu, ‘Nga ac fah supwala mwet palu ac mwet sap nu yorolos; elos ac fah uniya kutu selos, ac kalyei kutu.’
50 some of whom they will persecute and kill, in order that the blood of all the prophets that has been spilt since the creation of the world may be exacted from this generation –
Ke ma inge mwet in pacl inge ac fah eis mwatan akmas ma papa matu tumalos tuh oru ke elos onela mwet palu nukewa ke mutaweyen orekla faclu ah me,
51 from the blood of Abel down to the blood of Zechariah, who was slain between the altar and the house of God.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be exacted from this generation.
mutawauk ke akmas kacl Abel me nwe ke akmas kacl Zechariah, su tuh anwuki inmasrlon loang in kisa ac Acn Mutal in Tempul uh. Aok, nga fahk nu suwos, mwet in fil se inge ac fah kalyeiyuk kaclos inge nukewa!
52 Alas for you students of the Law! You have taken away the key of the door of knowledge. You have not gone in yourselves and you have hindered those who try to go in.”
“We nu suwos mwet luti Ma Sap uh! Kowos sruok key nu ke mutunoa lun etauk, a kowos sifacna tia utyak nu we, ac kowos kutongolos su kena utyak!”
53 When Jesus left the house, the teachers of the Law and the Pharisees began to press him hard and question him closely on many subjects,
Ke Jesus el som liki lohm sac, mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee elos mutawauk in arulana lainul, ac srikal ke mwe siyuk puspis,
54 laying traps for him, so as to seize on anything that he might say.
mweyen elos kena sruokilya ke kutu ma el ac fahk.
