< Matthew 10 >

1 He told [us] twelve disciples to come to him. Then he gave us the power/authority to expel evil spirits [that controlled people]. He also enabled [us] to heal all people who had diseases or who were sick.

2 [Here is a list of us] twelve [disciples whom he called] apostles ([which means ‘messengers’]): Simon, [to whom he gave the new name] Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James, the son of Zebedee; John, the [younger] brother of James;

5 When Jesus was [about to] send [us] twelve [apostles to tell his message to people in various places], he gave [us] these instructions: “Do not go where the non-Jews live [MTY] or into the towns [where the] Samaritans live, [because they hate you].
Anniks'isk natsikoputsixk Jesus itokŏt'tsiuax ki saiem'iuax ki an'ĭstsiuax, Gentiles oksoku'auĕsts pinitap'pok, ki Samaritans otakap'ioyimoauests pinŭt'sĭtsipik:
6 Instead, go to the people of Israel [SYN] who have [gone away from God like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET].
Ki Israel oko'au otomŭk'ikĭnaumix ats'ax ĭs'tapuk.
7 When you go [to them], proclaim to them that God [EUP/MTY] will soon begin to rule over people.
Ki auau'ŏkainoniki sem'okik, ki anik', spots'im ĭstsĭn'naiisĭnni aststsiu'.
8 Heal sick people, cause dead people to become alive, heal people who have leprosy, and cause demons to leave people [who are controlled by them] {[whom demons control]}. Do not charge money [for helping people, because God] did not charge you anything [for helping you].
Ai'oktokosix kut'tutokau, leperix ĭssin'nomokau, enix' nipua'atsokau, sauum'itsistaawx sai'aipiksĭstokau; Kitsiksist'okoko, ksistoko'tŭkkik.
9 Do not take any money with you [MTY], nor a knapsack. Do not take an extra shirt, nor sandals [in addition to what you are wearing], nor a walking stick. Every worker deserves to get pay [from the people for whom he works], [so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].

11 In whatever town or village you enter, find out which person is worthy [that you should stay in his home]. And as you go into that house, [ask God to] bless the people [who live there] [MTY]. Stay in that home until you leave [that town or village].
Annik' akap'ioyĭsk kĭtai'akitsipipika sŭppo'ŏttsesatsĭk annok' oks'apsiuok; ki annim' stau'pik kitsauomai'sŭkskitsĭssuai.
Ki pim'ĭnnoainiki nap'ioyĭs, ksematsĭm'attok.
13 If the people who live in [MTY] that house are worthy [of being blessed] {[God blessing them]}, [God] will bless them. If the people who live in that house are not worthy [of being blessed] {[of God blessing them]}, [God] will bless you [instead of blessing them].
Ki ŏkhs'issi nap'ioyĭs ŭnnianĭstsito'tos kitsĭn'nŭstseisuauĕsts; ki sauŏkhs'ĭssi ŭnnianĭstsska'atok kitsĭn'nŭstseisuauĕsts.
14 If the people [who live in any house or town] do not welcome you [to their home or town], nor listen to your message, leave that house or town. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [By doing that, you will warn them that God will punish them for rejecting your message].

15 Note this carefully: [At the time when God] judges [all people, he] will punish [the people who lived in] Sodom and Gomorrah [MTY], [the ancient cities which God destroyed because their people were extremely wicked]. But in any town where the people [MTY] refuse to hear your message, God will punish them even more severely.”
Kitau'mŭnĭstopuau akŏk'itsĭmaiksĭstsikuĭk Sodom ki Gomorrha ak'skĭtstom annik' akap'ioyĭsk.
16 “Take note: After I send you out, [you will be as defenseless] as sheep [MET] in the midst of [people who are as dangerous as] wolves. So you should wisely [stay away from such people, like you stay away from poisonous] snakes [SIM]. You should be as harmless as doves are [SIM].

17 Also, be on guard against [our religious leaders]. They will arrest you and take you to the members of the religious councils [to put you on trial and punish you because you are my disciples]. You will be whipped {The local leaders will whip you} [in] their meeting places.
Ki ŭsks'kŭmokau matap'pix; kitakaumŭts'kaukoau akŏk'itsĭmani, ki otatoi'apioyimoauĕsts kitakitaipstŭsĭstsipĭs'okoau;
18 [And] because [you teach] about me, you will be taken {[the religious leaders] will take you} to governors and kings [in order that they may put you on trial and punish you]. As a result, you will testify to those rulers and to [other] non-Jews [about what I have done].
Kinĭn'ax ki omŭx'ĭnax kitakittŭpĭp'iokoai, nĕsto'a kumut'aiakaitŭpipiokoai, kŏkkite'nŭpanĭstosau ki Gentiles.
19 When [the religious leaders] arrest you, do not be worried about what you will say [to them], because at that very time [the] Holy Spirit will tell you the words that you should say.
Ki aumŭts'kaukuĭnnoainiki pinstak kŏkŭnĭstse'puyĭsuai; annik' kitak'okokoau kitai'akanipuai.
20 It is not that you [will decide what to] say. Instead, you will say what the Spirit of your [heavenly] Father tells [you to say].
Kimats'epuyipuau, Kĭn'oau osta'aw ksĕsto'au itsĭpstai'puyiu.
21 [You will be taken] {[People who do not believe in me will] take you} to the authorities to be killed [because you believe in me. For example], people will betray their brothers, and fathers will betray their children. Children will rebel against their parents and cause [them] to be killed.
Ki umu'pappiipi akumŭts'kaiuaie umu'pappiipi mŏks'eĭnsi, ki nĭn' a akumŭts'kaiuaie okku'i; ki pokax aksenŭpanĭstaiau un'oauax ki oksĭs'toauax mŏks'enitŏsauax.
22 Many people will hate you [because you believe in me]. Nevertheless, [many people] will keep on believing in me until they die. They are the people whom [God] will take to live with him.
Ki kŏnai' tappix kumut'akaukĭmokoaiau nĕsto'i; ki annŏk' eikak'imauŏk umuts'ipaitappiuaspi akitsikŏmotse'piauaie.
23 When people in one town cause you to suffer, escape to another town [and tell the people there about me]. Note this: [I], the one who came down from heaven, will certainly return [to earth] before you have finished going from one town to another town throughout Israel [and telling people about me].

24 A disciple should not [expect to be] greater than his teacher, and servants [are not] superior to their master.
Ŭsksĭnĭmats'au matskĭtsĭmiu'ats otŭsksĭnĭmats'tokiuă, ki apotŭk'kiuă matskĭtsĭmiu'ats otsĭn'aim.
25 You do not [expect that] people will [treat] a disciple better than [they treat] his teacher, or that [they will treat] a servant [better than they treat] his master. [Similarly, because I am your teacher and master, you can expect that people will mistreat you, because they have mistreated me]. The most you can expect is that people [will treat you like they treat me. I am like] the ruler of a household [MET]. But people [have insulted me by] calling [me] Beelzebub, [the ruler of the demons]. So they [will] certainly [insult you more, you who are only like] members of my household [MET]!”
Ŏkh'siu ŭsksĭnĭmats'au mŏketŭm'anĭstsau otŭsksĭnĭmats'tokiuă, ki apotŭk'kiuă mŏketŭm'anĭstsau otsĭn'aim. Anĭstsĭn'nikŏttŭsauaie nap'ioyĭs otsĭn'aim Beelzebub, ak'staianĭstsĭnnikŏttaiau itsĭpstaupixk oko'ai?
26 “Do not be afraid of [people who insult you and do evil things to you. God wants] everything that is unknown now to be revealed {[God wants you to] reveal everything [that is unknown now]}. [He does] not [want his truth] to remain hidden [MET] and kept secret [DOU].
Pin stŭn'nokau; matsekipats akstaisaiipasokĭnnĭs; matsitsiksĭs'pats ak'staisaiĭsksĭnĭs.
27 [So, instead of being afraid], what I say to you [secretly as people do] at night [MTY], tell [publicly as people do] during the daytime [MTY]. What I [say to you privately as people do when they] whisper to you [MTY], proclaim publicly [MTY, DOU].
Kĭtse'itsĭnikopuai ski'natsii matai'itsĭnikok ksĭstsiku'inatsii: ki kitai'okhtsipuai kotokhĭs'suai, sem'ik spots' im nap'ioyĭsts.
28 Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill your body [SYN] but are not able to destroy your soul. Instead, fear [God because] he is able to destroy both a [person’s] body and a [person’s] soul in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Ki pinstŭn'nokau anniks'ĭsk akenitomixk mostŭm', ki sta'aw matokotsenĭtsiau'ats: stŭn'nok annŏk' i kots'enĭts iuŏkax mostŭm' ki staaw stakhts'im. (Geenna g1067)
29 [Think about the] sparrows. [They have so little value] that [you] can buy cares two of them for [only] one small coin [RHQ]. But when [any] sparrow falls to the ground [and dies] [LIT], [God], your [heavenly] Father, knows it, [because he cares about everything].
Natokŭmix sĭstsix kŭttomŭtaiponitau'atsax nitsipŭn'asaini? Ki tuks'kŭm matakittotstsiu'ats ksŏk'kum sauŭs'ksĭnoŭssi Kin'oau.
30 [He cares about you, too]. He even knows how many hairs you have on your head!
Kitoku'yikĭnsĭsts ikŏnŭks'topiau.
31 [God] values you much more than he values sparrows [LIT]. So, do not be afraid [of people who threaten to kill you]
Piniko'puk; kitots'ĭtskŭkaiĭxkĭmĭmipuau akaiĕm'ix sĭstsix'.
32 If people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], I will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven [that they are my disciples].
Annŏk'aie'nŭpanĭstsiuŏk matap'ii nĕsto'i, osto'i nitaks'enŭpanĭstau nĭn'ă spots'im.
33 But if they are afraid to say in front of others that they are my [disciples], I will tell my Father, who is in heaven, [that] they are not [my disciples].”
Annŏk' nĭt'saietokŏk matap'piuŏk, osto'i nĭtak'saietoau nĭn'a spots' im.
34 “Do not think that I came to earth to cause [people] to live together harmoniously. The result of my coming is that [some of those who follow me] [MTY] will be killed.
Pinstak nimut'oto ĭnnŭst'sĭnni nŏkitsĭt'apixĭsi ksŏk'kum: nimat'otopa nŏkitsĭt'apĭxĭsi ĭnnŭst'sĭnni, innu'stoan nimut'oto (nŏkitsĭt'apiksĭstos ksŏk'kum).
35 Because I came [to earth, people who do not believe in me] will oppose [those who do believe in me. For example], some sons will oppose their fathers, some daughters will oppose their mothers, and some daughters-in-law will oppose their mothers-in-law.
Nimut'oto nĭn'au ki un'ni mŏk'itsipotsĭstsĭmmotseĭsau, ki otŭn'ni ki oksĭs'tsi, ki ăum'si ki maawks'i mŏkitsipotsĭstsĭmmotseĭsau.
36 [This shows that sometimes] a person’s enemies will be members of his own household.
Ki nĭn'au aks'ikatumĭmmiuax otopokau'pimix anniks'isk matap'pixk oko'ai itsĭpsts' taupixk.
37 People who love their fathers or mothers more than [they love] me are not worthy to [have a relationship with me]. And people who love their sons or daughters more than [they love] me are not worthy [to belong to] me.
Annŏk' aiĭs'tŭpŭkomĭmmiuŏk un'ni nĕsto'i nimatokotsinanŭk'ats: ki annŏk' aiĭstŭpŭkomĭmmiuŏk oku'yi ki otŭn'ni nĕsto'i nimatokotsinanŭk'ats.
38 [People who are ready to execute a prisoner force him to] carry a cross [to the place where they will nail him to it] [MET]. Those who are not [willing to allow other people to hurt and disgrace them like that because of being my disciples] are not worthy to belong to me.
Ki annŏk' sauots'ĭssi otauiĭnan'i sauopokiuo'osi nĕsto'ă, nimatokotsinanŭk'ats.
39 People who [deny that they believe in me in order to escape being killed] will not live [with God eternally] [MET], but people who [confess that they believe in] me and, [as a result are] killed, will live [with God eternally] [MET].”

41 Those who welcome [someone because] [MTY] [they know] that person is a prophet they will receive the [same] reward that prophets [receive from God. Likewise], those who welcome a person [because] [MTY] [they know] that person is righteous will receive the reward righteous people [receive from God].

42 [Note this: ] people [see that you are thirsty] [MTY] [and] give you a drink of cold water because they know that [MTY] you are one of my disciples. [God] will certainly reward people who do that. [They might consider that what they did] is insignificant, [but God will consider it very significant]” [LIT].
