Luke 17
1 [One day Jesus] said to his disciples, “Things that will tempt [people] to sin are certain to happen, but it will be terrible for anyone who causes them to happen!
A KOTIN majani on japwilim a tounpadak kan: Nan jota kak, men kamakar kan en jo pwaida, a juedi on me kokido.
2 Suppose you caused one of these people who [do not believe in me very strongly] to sin. If a huge stone was fastened {someone fastened a huge stone} around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that a severe punishment, but God will punish] you even more severely [if you cause someone to sin!]
A mau on, takai en ir plaua eu en paudoki on ni tapin wor a, ap lokidokila nan madau, jan a kamakar amen tikitik pukat.
3 Be careful [how you act]. If you [know about] a fellow believer who sins, you [(sg)] should rebuke him. If he [says that he] is sorry for having sinned [and asks you to forgive him], forgive him.
Kalaka pein komail! Ma ri om ol wia dipi on uk, en kapun on i, a ma a pan kalukila, maki on i.
4 Even if he sins against you [(sg)] seven times in one day, if he comes to you each time and says, ‘I am sorry for what I did’, you must continue forgiving him.”
A ma a wia dipi on uk pan ijepak ni ran eu o pure don uk pan ijepak indada: I kalula, koe en maki on i!
5 [One day] the apostles said to the Lord, “Help us to trust [in you] (OR, [in God]) more strongly!”
A wanporon akan potoan on Kaun o: Re kotin kalaudela at pojon!
6 The Lord replied, “Mustard [seeds are very small, but in this area they grow and produce large] [MET] [plants]. [Similarly], if your faith grows until you truly believe that God [will do what you ask him to, you will be able to do anything]. You could [even] say to this mulberry tree, ‘Pull yourself out [with your roots] and plant yourself in the sea!’ and it would obey you!”
A Kaun o kotin majani: Ma omail pojon laudi on wan katirin, komail pan kak indai on tuka pik pot et: Kai jan, kajau on nan madau, a pan oke komail.
7 [Jesus also said], “Suppose that one of you had a servant who was plowing [your fields] or taking care of your sheep. After he comes into the house from the field, you [(sg)] would not say [RHQ], ‘Sit down and eat immediately!’
A ij re omail, me a ladu men, me kin matimat o kamakamana man akan, pan indan i ni a puredo jan matuel o: Madan kodo mondi o mana?
8 Instead, you would say to him, ‘Put on your apron and prepare a meal for me! Then serve it to me so that I can eat and drink! Afterwards you [(sg)] can eat and drink.’
A jota pan indan i: Kaonopada me i pan mana nin jautik o, kaiada om likau, papa ia, lao i manaer o nim, a muri koe pan mana o nim.
9 (You will not thank your servant for doing the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do!/Would you thank your servant because he did the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do?) [RHQ]
De a pan danke ladu pweki a wiada, me a majani on i? I lamelam jo.
10 Similarly, when you [(pl)] have done everything that [God] has told you to do, you should say, ‘We [(inc)] are not worthy [of God thanking us] {[being thanked]}. We are only God’s servants. We have only done the things that he told us to do.’”
Pil dueta komail, komail, lao wiadar meakan me kakaliki on komail er, komail ap pan inda: Kit ladu mal, pwe i eta, me je wiadar, me kakalik on kit er.
11 As [Jesus and his disciples] were walking along the road to Jerusalem, they were going through [the region] between Samaria and Galilee [districts].
Kadekadeo ni a kotilan Jerujalem, a kotin weid nan wein Jamaria o Kalilaa.
12 As they entered one village, ten lepers came near the road. [Because lepers were not permitted to come near other people], they stood at some distance
O ni a kotin kotilon on nan kijin kanim eu, purai kit!
13 and called out, “Jesus, Master, pity us [and heal us]!”
Irail nil laudeda indada: Main Iejuj, kupurai kit!
14 When he saw them, he said [to them], “Each of you should go and show yourself to a priest [in Jerusalem so that he can see if you are healed].” As they were going [there], they were healed.
A lao kotin majanier, ap majani on irail: Komail koieila kajanjale on pein komail on jamero kan. Kadekadeo ni arail kokola irail kelailada.
15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God loudly.
A amen irail ni a kilaner me a kelailadar, ap puredo nil laudeda, kapikapina Kot.
16 He [came to Jesus], prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet, and thanked him. This man was a Samaritan, [not a Jew].
O poridi jan aluwilu a, danke i; ari, i men Jamaria men.
17 Then Jesus said, “[I] healed ten [lepers] (I am disappointed that the other nine did not come back!/Where are the other nine?) [RHQ]
Iejuj kotin japen majani: Kaidin me ek, me kelailadar, a ia me duemen oko?
18 I am disappointed [RHQ] that this non-Jewish man was the only one who returned to thank God; none of the others came back to me!”
Jota me pure don kapina Kot, ol en liki men et eta?
19 Then he said to the man, “Get up and continue on your journey. [God] [PRS] [has saved you and] healed you [(sg)] because you trusted [in me].”
A majani on i: Uda ko wei, om pojon me kakel uk ada!
20 [One day] Jesus was asked by [some] Pharisees [SYN] {[some] Pharisees [SYN] asked [Jesus]}, “When is God [going] to rule as king?” He replied, “God’s ruling [MET] is not something people will be able to see with their eyes.
Parijar akai lao kalelapok re a: Dokan da me wein Kot pan pwaida? A kotin japen majani: Nan wein Kot jota kin janjal kokodo.
21 And people will not be able to say, ‘Look! He is [ruling] here!’ Or ‘He is [ruling] over there!’ because, [contrary to what you think], God’s ruling is people’s inner beings (OR, is already happening among you).”
Irail jota pan indada: Kilan met, de kilan monen, pwe kilan, wein Kot mi lol omail.
22 [Jesus] said to his disciples, “There will be a time when you will want to see [me] [MTY], the one who came from heaven, [ruling powerfully]. But you will not see that.
A kotin majani on japwilim a tounpadak kan: Ran oko pan kodo, me komail pan men kilanada ran eu en Nain aramaj, a komail jota pan kak kilan.
23 [Some] people will say to you, ‘Look, [the Messiah] is over there!’ or [they will say] ‘Look, he is here!’ When they say that, do not believe them. Do not follow them [to go see the Messiah].
Irail pan indai on komail: Kilan monen, de kilan met! A der kola o der idauen ir ala!
24 Because when the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, [everyone can see it. Similarly] [SIM], at the time [MTY] when [I], the one who came from heaven, come back again, [everyone will see me].
Pwe duen liol kin linalin jan apali en lan lel pali teio en lan, iduen Nain aramaj ni a ran o.
25 But before that happens, I must suffer in many ways (OR, very much). And I will be rejected by people {people will reject me}, [even though] they [have observed me doing good for people].
A maj a pan kalokolok toto o lokidokila ren di wet.
26 But when [I], the one who came from heaven, [come again, people] will be doing things just like people were doing at the time when [MTY] Noah [lived].
O duen a wiaui ni muein Noa, iduen a pan wiaui ni ran oko en Nain aramaj:
27 [At that time] people ate and drank [as usual], and they got married [as usual], up until the day when Noah [and his family] entered the big boat. But then the flood came and destroyed all those [who were not in the boat].
Irail mana, irail nim, irail papaud, irail kapapaud, lao lei ran en Noa a pedelon on nan war im o, o nolik pwaida kamom ir ala karoj.
28 Similarly, when Lot lived [in Sodom city], people [there] ate and drank [as usual]. They bought things and they sold things. They planted [crops] and they built [houses as usual].
Pil dueta ni muein Lot: Irail mana, irail nim, irail netinet, irail japajap, irail kauadar im,
29 But on the day that Lot [and his family] left Sodom, fire and [burning] sulfur came down from the sky and destroyed all those [who stayed in the city].
A ni ran o, me Lot koiei jan Jodom, kijiniai o jwepel ap moredi jan nanlan, kame ir ala karoj.
30 Similarly, when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, [people will be unprepared] (OR, [enjoying normal life]).
Nan iduen a pan wiaui ni ran, me Nain aramaj pan janjaledo.
31 On that day, those who are outside their houses, with all the things that they own inside [the houses], must not go [in] to take them away, [because there will not be enough time to do that]. Similarly, those who are working in a field must not go back home [to get anything]; [they must flee immediately].
Ni ran o meamen mi pon im, o a kapwa mi nan im, a ender kodi on ale. O pil dueta me mimi nan jap, i ender puredo.
32 Remember Lot’s wife! [Because she turned back and wanted to get some of her things from Sodom, she died immediately and became a pillar of salt].
Tamatamanda en Lot a paud!
33 Anyone who wants to hold onto his life [and his possessions] will not [receive eternal] life. But anyone who is [willing to] die [for my sake] will live [eternally].
Pwe meamen kanakanai on maur a, pan pupe jan, a me pan kajela, nan i me pan maureta.
34 I tell you this: On the night [when I return], there will be two people [sleeping] in one bed. The one [who believes in me] will be taken {[God] will take the one [who believes in me]} [to heaven], and the other one will be left [behind and punished] {and [he] will leave the other one [behind and punish him]}.
I indai on komail, ni pon ota ol riamen pan wonon pon pet eu, amen pan peuka jan, a me teio pan mimieta.
35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left {[God] will take one and leave the other} [behind].”
Li riamen pan irij pena plaua, amen pan peuka jan, a me teio pan mimieta.
Ol riamen pan mi nan jap, amen pan peuka jan, a me teio pan mimieta.
37 [His disciples] said to him, “Lord, where [will this happen]?” He replied to them, “Wherever there is an animal carcass, the vultures will gather [to eat it] [MET]. [Similarly, wherever there are people who are spiritually dead, God will punish them].”
Irail japen potoan on i: Ia Main? A kotin majani on irail: Waja me man mat mi ia, nan i waja pwin ikel pan pil pokon pena ia.
