Luke 11
1 One day Jesus was somewhere praying. When he finished [praying], one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us [what to say when] we [(exc)] pray, as John [the Baptizer] taught his disciples!”
Hagi mago zupa, Jisasi'a magokaziga mani'neno nunamu huvagaretegeno, amagema nentea disaipol ne'mo'a anage huno ome antahige'ne. Ramoka nunamuma hu'zana, Joni'ma amagema nentaza disaipol naga'ama huzami'neaza hunka rempi huramio huno antahige'ne.
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say [things like this]: ‘Father, we want you [(sg)] [MTY] to be honored/revered. [We want people to let you(sg)] [MTY, MET] rule over their lives.
Higeno Agra anage huno zamasami'ne, Nunamuma hanutma anage hiho, Tafatimoka Kagri Kagimo'a ruotge huno mesie. Kagri kumamo'a e'nie.
3 Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we need.
Magoke magoke zage knafima nesuna ne'zana (bretia) neraminka,
4 Forgive us [for] the wrong things that we have done, because we forgive people for the wrong things that they do to us. Do not let us do wrong things when we are tempted {[someone or something] tempts us}.’”
kumitia apaserantegeta, tagranena anazanke huta miko kumima hurantesamokizmia atrezmantamneno. Hagi tatregeta reravataga zampina u'oframneno.
5 Then he said to them, “Suppose that one of you goes to the house of a friend at midnight. Suppose that you [(sg) stand outside and] call out to him, ‘My friend, please lend me three buns!
Huteno anante Jisasi'a anage huno zamasami'ne, Hagi magomoka roneka'amofontega kenage vunka, tagufa breti namitegena, henka nonahuna kamineno,
6 Another friend of mine who is traveling has just arrived [at my house], but I have no food [ready] to give to him!’
na'ankure ronenimo'a afeteti eno emaninegena, ne'zama amisuazana omanenegena nehue hanankeno'a,
7 Suppose that he answers you from inside [his house], ‘Do not bother me! The door has been locked {[We(exc)] have locked the door} and all my family are in bed. [So] I cannot get up and give you [(sg)] anything!’
nomofo agu'afinti ana ne'mo'a kenona anage hugahie. Ko kafa erigi'na mofavre'ni'ane, nagranena tafete mase'nonanki, mago'zana eri onkamigahuanki eme nazeri oraotio hugahie.
8 I will tell you that even if he does not [want to] get up and give you [any food], to avoid being ashamed [for not helping you] because you are his friend (OR, if without being ashamed you continue asking him to do that), he certainly will get up and give you whatever you need.
Nagra neramasamue, nomofo agu'afima mani'nea ne'mo'a, arone'amo mani'neanagi otino agrira ne'zana omigahie. Hianagi na'ankure kazikazima hania zanku avesinesiama'a eri amigahie.
9 So I tell you this: Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you [(pl)]. Confidently keep expecting [God to give you the things that you need], and [he] will give them to you [MET]. [It will be like] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying urgently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] knocking [on a door] so that [God] will open [the way] for you [to get what you pray for].
Ana hu'negu Nagra neramasamue, antahigegeno, anazana kamino, hakesunka, kenka eri fore hugahane. Kafante vagre vagre hugeno, kafamo'a anagi kantegahie.
10 Remember that [God] will give things to everyone who continues to ask [him for them]. [He] will give things to whoever confidently keeps asking. [He] will open [the way] for people [to get the things that they keep urgently praying for].
Na'ankure antahigaza vahe'mo'za e'nerize. Hakraza vahe'mo'za, keza eri fore nehaze, kafante vagre vagre hanamokizmia, kafana anagi zmantegahie.
11 If one of you had a son who asked you [(sg)] for a fish [to eat], (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a [poisonous] snake instead!/would you give him a [poisonous] snake instead?) [RHQ]
Ina ne'mo amuno tamifintira, mofavre'amo'ma aganetenkeno nozamegu'ma antahigesigeno'a, nozamea omi osifavea eri amigahio?
12 If he asked you for an egg, (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a scorpion!/would you give him a scorpion?) [RHQ]
Hifi kokore amuku'ma antahigesigeno'a, amane segintave (Scorpion) amigahio?
13 Even though you people are evil, you know how to give good things to your children. So your Father in heaven will certainly [give good things] to those who ask him, [including] giving the Holy Spirit, [who is the best gift].”
Hanki tamagra havizama nehzamota, tamagra antahinaze. Knare museza mofavretmia nezamize. Mago'ane monafi mani'nea Neramafa'a, Ruotge Avamuku'ma antahigaza vahera zamigahie!
14 [One day there was a man there who, because a demon controlled him] [MTY], was unable to speak. After [Jesus expelled] the demon, the man [began to] talk. [Most of] the people [there] were amazed.
Mago zupa ageruma eri tagane havi avamu mago ne'pinti Jisasi'a humegi atrene. Ana havi avamumo atineramigeno, kema nosia nemo'a agafa huno kea nehige'za, tusi'a veamo'za antri hu'naze.
15 But some of them said, “It is Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons, who enables [this man] to expel demons!”
Hianagi mago'amo'za hu'za, havi hankromofo ugagota kvazmimofo Belsebuli hanavefi, Agra havi avamura hunente hu'naze.
16 Other [people there] asked Jesus to perform a miracle [to prove (he was the Messiah/that he had come] from God) [MTY/EUP]. They wanted to trap him [into not being able to perform a miracle or into doing something ridiculous].
Mago'amo'za rehe'za kenaku, agafa hu'za monafinti mago avame'za huraveri huo hu'za hankavetiza antahige'naze.
17 But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, “If [the people in] one nation fight against each other, their nation will be destroyed {[they] will destroy their nation}. If [the people in] [MTY] one house are divided, they will cease to remain as one [family].
Hianagi Jisasi'a antahintahizmia negeno, anage huno zamasmi'ne, Mago rankumo amu'nompinti refko huno ha' orente arente haniana, taregamoke haviza hugaha'e. Mago nompi naga'moma amu'nompinti refkoma hanuno'a traka huno haviza hugahie.
18 [Similarly], if Satan [and his demons] were fighting against each other, (his rule over them would [certainly] not last!/how would his rule over them last?) [RHQ] [I say this] because you are saying that I am expelling demons by [the power of] the ruler of [his own demons]
Hagi Satama agra'a naga'ane amu'nompinti refko huno ha' orente arente haniana, nankna huno ana kuma'amo'a oti hankavetigahie? Tamantahimanegoana, na'ankure tamagra hutma, Belsebul ugagota havi hankromofo hanavefi, havi hankrora hunente hazazanku nehue.
19 Furthermore, if [it is true that] Satan enables me to expel demons, [is it also true that] your disciples [who] expel demons [do so] by [Satan’s] power [RHQ]? [No, that is not true]. So they will show that you [are not thinking logically].
Hagi Nagra'ma ugagota havi hankromofo Belsebul hanavefima, havi hankroma huntesugeno'a, iza hanavefi tamagri'ma tamagema nentaza naga'mo'za hunentaze? E'ina hu'neankiza zamagra refko hurmantegahaze.
20 But because it is by the power [MTY] of God [that I expel demons], I am showing you [that the power of] God to [MET] rule [people’s lives] has come to you.”
Hianagi Anumzamofo hanaveretima havi avamu hunentesuana, Anumzamofo kumamo'a ko tamagrite e'ne.
21 Then, [to show that by expelling evil spirits he was making it clear that he was much more powerful than Satan, Jesus said] [MET], “When a strong man who has many weapons guards his own house, no one can steal the things in his house.
Hanave ne'moma kuma'ama kegava huno manisigeno'a, maka zama'amo'a mane so'e hugahie.
22 But when someone else who is stronger attacks that man and subdues him, he is able to take away the weapons in which the man trusted. Then he can take from that man’s house anything he [wants to].
Hianagi mago hanavenentake ne'mo'ma ha' eme hunteno agateresuno'a, maka ati keve'ane, so'e zama'a erino ome refko hugahie.
23 [No one can be neutral]. Those who do not help me [are opposing] me, and those who do not gather [people to become] my [disciples] are causing [those people] to go away [from me].”
Iza'o Nagranema nomanimo'a ha' renenante. Iza'o Nagrane emeritru nosimo'a repanini higeno nefre.
24 [Then Jesus said this]: “[Sometimes when] an evil spirit leaves someone, it wanders around in desolate areas seeking [someone in whom it can] rest. If it does not find anyone, it says [to itself], ‘I will return to the person in whom I used to live!’
Agru osu havi avamumo vahepinti atiramino vuteno, ti omane'nea kokampi nevuno, manigasahu kumaku hakeana onkeno anage hu'ne. Ete rukrahe hu'na ko'ma mani'no'a vahe'mofo agu'afi vanue nehuno,
25 So it goes back and finds that [the Spirit of God is not in control of that person’s life. The person’s life is like] a house that has been {that someone has} swept clean and everything put {put everything} in order, [but a house that is empty].
vuno ana nonte ome keana, nona harafi huno eri so'ehu fatgo hunte'ne.
26 Then [this evil spirit] goes and gets seven other spirits that are [even] more evil than it is. They [all] enter [that person] and [begin] living there. [So], [although] that person’s condition [was bad] before, it became much worse.”
Anante ete vuno mago'a 7ni'a havi avu'ava agetereno nehia avamutmi ome zmavareno ege'za, ufre'za umani'naze. Hankino ana ne'mofona henka nomani'zamo'a, kote nomanizana agatereno havizantfa hu'ne.
27 When Jesus said that, a woman who was listening called out [to him], “[God is] pleased with the woman who gave birth to you [(sg)] and let you nurse [at her breasts]!”
Jisasi'a anage huno nehigeno, mago a'mo vea kevumofo amuno'zimifi mani'neno kezatino, amanage hu'ne, Negrera kaseganteno ami kami'nemo'a muse hugahie.
28 But he replied, “God [is] much more pleased with those who hear his message and obey it!”
Hianagi Jisasi'a kenona huno, Ana hu'neanagi Anumzamofo nanekema nentahino amagema nentemo, agatereno musena hugahie.
29 When the group of people around [Jesus] got larger, he said, “[Many of] you people who have been observing my ministry are evil. You want [me to perform] a miracle [to prove that I have come from God], but the only miracle that [I] will perform for you is one [like happened to] Jonah.
Tusi'a vea krefamo'za mago'ane etruhu rama nehazageno, Jisasi'a agafa huno anage hu'ne, Ama knafi vahera havi vahe mani'ne'za avame'za kenaku nantahinegaze. Hianagi mago avame'za onkegahazanki, Jona avame zanke kegahaze.
30 [After Jonah was inside a huge fish for three days, God performed] a miracle [to restore] Jonah. [Jonah then went and testified about that] to the people in Nineveh [city. God will perform] a similar miracle [for me], the one who came from heaven. [When you people have seen that miracle, you will believe my message].
Na'ankure Ninive kumate vahe'mokizmire, Jona'a avame'za mani'neankna huno, Vahe'mofo Mofavremo enena anahukna huno menima mani'naza vahe'motarera huramaverina kegahaze.
31 [Long ago the] queen from [Sheba], [far] south [of Israel, traveled a long distance to hear Solomon speak many] wise things. But now [I, a man] who [is much] greater [and wiser] than Solomon, am here, [but you have not listened to what I have told you]. Therefore, at the time when [God] judges [all people], the queen from [Sheba] will stand there, [along] with you people, and will condemn you.
Anumzamo'ma vahe'ma refko huno keagama huzmantesia knarera, Sauti kaziga Siba kumateti Kuini a'mo'a otino, Anumzamo'ma keagama refkoma hanirera, ama knafi vahera keontahi vahe mani'naze huno keaga huzmantegahie. Na'ankure ana kuini amo'a afete'arega mani'neanagi, Solomoni knare antahintahi'a antahinaku e'ne. Hianagi antahiho, mago nera Solomonima agaterenea nera amuno tamifina mani'ne.
32 The people who lived in Nineveh [city] turned from their sinful ways when Jonah preached to them. But now I, who am greater than Jonah, have come [and preached to you], [but you have not turned from your sinful ways]. Therefore, at the time when God judges [all people], the people who lived in Nineveh will stand there with you and condemn you.”

33 [Then, to show them that they did not need more miracles, but that they needed only to understand better what he had already told them, he said to them] [MET], “People who light a lamp do not then hide it, or put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on a lampstand so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light. [Similarly, I have not concealed God’s truth. I have revealed it to you].
Hagi vahe'mo'za tavira rekru hu'za oku'a antege, ekaeka kupina eririza refinotaze. Hianagi tavira tagiza tavima rekru hunte azotare antenesageno, remsa hu'nenige'za ufresaza vahe'mo'za kegahaze.
34 Your eyes [MET] are like a lamp for your body, because they enable you to see things. If your eyes are healthy, you are able to see everything well [MET]. [Similarly, if you(sg) accept my teaching, you will be able to know all that God wants you to know]. But if your eyes are bad, you are not able to see anything. It is like being in darkness [MET]. [And similarly, if you(pl) do not accept what I teach, you will not be able to know all the things that God wants you to know].

35 Therefore, [you(pl) do not need to see more miracles. You need to think carefully about what I have already] told you, so that the things that you have heard from others do not cause you to remain in spiritual darkness [MET].
Hanki tamagripima me'nea tavi'moma hanima huzankura, kva hiho.
36 If you [live completely according to God’s truth, you will be able to know everything that God wants you to know. It will be like] being in a room with a lamp shining brightly, enabling you to see everything clearly.”

37 While Jesus finished saying those things, a Pharisee invited him to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to [his house] and ate with him.
Jisasi'a ana kea huvagaretegeno, mago Farisi ne'mo'a huno, nagrane feru ne'zana eme no huno antahigegeno, vuno neza nenaza trate aza tununte (reclined) umanine.
38 The Pharisee was surprised when he saw that Jesus did not follow the Pharisees’ ritual by washing his hands before eating. [The Pharisees washed their hands in a certain way to be cleansed from anything that might have contaminated them. They were afraid that God might reject them if they] had [touched something unacceptable to God].
Ana Farisi ne'mo'ma keama, zamagra Farisi vahe'mo'zama zamazama sesema hute'za nezama nenazaza osu, Jisasima nezama amne nenegeno'a, antri hu'ne.
39 The Lord [Jesus] said to him, “You Pharisees are [concerned about things that are outside your bodies, not with what is in your] ([inner beings/hearts]) [MET]. You wash the outside of cups and dishes [before you eat because you think that doing that will make you acceptable to God], but within yourselves you are very greedy and wicked.
Hianagi Ramo'a anage huno ana nera asami'ne, Tamagra Farisi vahe'motma kapune, pletinena amega sese nehaze. Hianagi tamagu'afina kumazafa zamo'ene, havi avu'avazamo avite'ne.
40 You foolish people! [God] is concerned about things that are outside [our bodies], but (he is certainly also concerned about our inner [beings]!/isn’t he also concerned about our hearts?) [RHQ]
Tamagra negi vahe mani'naze, Agra amegama troma hu'nemo'a, agu'afinena trora osunefi?
41 Give [money] to those who are poor. [Give according to what you know within] your (inner [/heart]) [that you should give]. Then you [will be surprised to realize that] you will be acceptable [to God without having to perform all those rituals about washing].
Tamagrama erinenaza zama, muse nehutma tamagu'areti huta zamunte omane vahe'ma zamamisazana, tamagrira maka zantamimo'a agru hugahie.
42 But there will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees! You give to God a tenth of [all you produce, even] the various herbs that you grow, but you do not [remember that you must act] justly [toward others] and love God! It is good to [give a tenth of your income to God], but you ought to do these other things also!
Hianagi Farisi vahe'mota kva hiho! Na'ankure tamagra izane aruine, maka hozafinti mananentake ne'zana 10ni'a kevufinti, mago kevua refko huta nemizanagi, Anumzamofo fatgo avu'avazane, avesizamofona netreta, vahera so'e hunozmantaze.
43 There will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees, because you like [to sit in] the best seats in our worship places [so that people will think highly of you], and you like people to greet you [respectfully] in the marketplaces.
Kva hiho Farisi vahe'motma! Na'ankure tamagra osi mono nontamimpi ugota trate mani'zanku tamavenesigetma, maketi kumatamimpi vahe'mo'za antahiramiza husgama huramantezankuke nehaze.
44 There will be terrible punishment for you, because you are like ground where there is no marker [to indicate that there is a] grave [underneath]. People walk there, but they cannot see [what is rotten down below] [MET]! [Similarly, people who see you do not realize how polluted you are within yourselves].”
Tamagra Kva hiho! Fri vahe'mokizmi keri refiteankna huta mani'nage'za, vahe'mo'za ana agofetu ontahiza vano nehaze.
45 One of those who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, by saying this you [(sg)] are criticizing us [also]!”
Kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahepinti mago'mo kenona anage hu'ne, Rempi hurami ne'moka, kagrama ama kema hanana, tagriku'ene huhaviza hurantane huno hu'ne.
46 Jesus said, “It will be terrible also for you who teach the [Jewish] laws! You require people [to obey many rules that are difficult to obey] [MET]. [That is like making them] carry heavy burdens on their backs. But you yourselves do not obey the laws [that you require others to obey]. (OR, you do not do anything to help [others to obey the laws].)
Hianagi Jisasi'a amanage hu'ne, Kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahe'motmanena kva hiho. Na'ankure tamagra vahe'mokizmia tusi'a knaza zamizage'za kanagu hu'za eri'za nevazagetma, tamagra mago tamazankoa antetma knaza zmia e'norize.
47 There will be terrible punishment for you! You decorate the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed, [but you do not live according to what the prophets taught].
Tamagra kva hiho! Na'ankure korapama neramagehozama zamahe'naza kasnampa vahe'mokizmia keri tamagra negafize.
48 So you are declaring that you approve of what your ancestors did. They killed the prophets, and you [are not honoring the prophets! You just] decorate their tombs!
E'i ana avu'avazamofona, tamagra vahera zmaveri hutma, neramagehoma hu'neazankura knare hu'ne hutma nehaze. Na'ankure neramageho'za kasnampa vahera zamahe fri'nazagetma, tamagra kerizmia kafinentaze.
49 So God, who is very wise [PRS], said, ‘I will send prophets and apostles [to you Jews]. [You] will kill some of them and cause some of them to suffer greatly.
E'i ana agafare, tamagri havi tamavu tamavazamofonku, Anumzamofo knare antahintahimofo kemo'enena huno, Nagra kasnampa vahe'ene, aposol nagara huzmantesugeno e'nagetma, mago'amokizmia zamahe nefritma, mago'amokizmia zamazeri haviza hugahaze hu'ne.
50 [As a result, I] will consider that many of you people [who have observed my Son’s ministry] will be guilty [MTY] [of murder, as if you had] killed all the prophets that other people have killed, from the time I created the world,
E'ina hu'negu, mona mopama fore'ma hu'neregatima kasnampa vahe'ma zamahe'za korazmima eritagi atre'za e'naza zantera, nona hu'za meni gnafima mani'naza vahe'mo'za knazana erigahaze.
51 starting from [Adam’s son Cain] killing [his brother] Abel and continuing until they killed the prophet Zechariah [in the holy place] between the altar and the temple.’ Yes, what I am saying [is true] [MTY]. [God] will punish you people who have observed my ministry, you people whom [he] considers to be guilty [MTY] for [killing] all those prophets!
Abelima ahegeno korama'ama tagiraminereti eno, Kresramana vu itane ra mono nomofo amu'nompima Zekaraiama ahazageno, korama'ama tagitre'nea knarema ehanati'nea vahe'mokizmi koramofo nona'a, tamage ama knafi vahe'motare refko huno nona huramantegahie.
52 There will be terrible punishment for you men who teach the [Jewish] laws, because you have [not let people] know [God’s truth] [MET]! [It is as though you are] taking away a key [to a house]. You are not going into [the house] yourselves, and you are not letting other people enter it, either.”

53 After Jesus finished saying those things, he left there. Then the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees began to act in a very hostile way toward him. They tried to make him say what he thought about many things.
Jisasi'ma anama huteno'a, ananteti atreno nevige'za, kasegere ugagota hunaza vahe'mo'zane, Farisi vahe'mo'zanena agafa hu'za zamarimpa henente'za, rama'a zanku agenoka nehu'za,
54 They kept waiting for him to say something [wrong] for which they could accuse him.
