< Matthew 19 >
1 After Jesus had said that, he [took us] and left Galilee [district] and went to the part of Judea [district that is located] on the [east] side of the Jordan [River].
Adudagi Jisuna hiramsing asi tambiba loirabada, Galilee thadoktuna Jordan turen-gi wangmada leiba Judea-gi lamda laklammi.
2 Large crowds followed him there, and he healed [the sick among] them.
Aduga yamlaba miyam amana Ibungogi tung injarammi, amasung mapham aduda Ibungona makhoigi anabasing adu phahanbirammi.
3 [Some] Pharisees approached Jesus and said to him, “Does [our Jewish] law permit [a man] to divorce his wife for any reason whatever?” [They asked that] in order to be able to criticize Jesus, [whether he answered “Yes” or “No].”
Aduga Pharisee-sing kharasu Ibungogi nakta laklammi. Amasung makhoina chang yengladuna Ibungoda wahang asi hanglak-i, “Mi amana mahakki nupibu karigumba maram amagidamak khainabasi wayel kaibra?”
4 Jesus said [to them], “[Because] you have read [RHQ] [the Scriptures], [you should know] that at the time [God first] created [people], ‘he made [one] man, and he made [one] woman [to be that man’s wife].’
Jisuna makhoida khumlak-i, “Nakhoina Mapugi puyada hairibasing asi padabra? Ahoubadagi houna sembiba Mapuna makhoibu nupa amadi nupi haina sembikhi,
5 That explains why [God said], ‘[When] a man [and woman marry], they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers. [Instead], the two of them shall live together, and they shall become [so closely united that they are like] one person [MET].’
amasung mahakna haikhi, ‘Maram asina nupa amana mahakki mama mapabu thadoktuna magi nupida punsin-gani aduga makhoi ani hakchang amata oigani.’
6 Consequently, [although they functioned as] two [separate people before], they now [become as if they were] one person [MET]. Since that is true, a man must not separate [from his wife] whom God has joined to him, [because it is God’s plan for them to remain together].”
Adunadi makhoi amuk hanna ani oidre, amata oire. Maram aduna Tengban Mapuna punsinbikhraba adu mi kana amatana khaidoktasanu.”
7 The Pharisees then said to him, “If that is true, why did Moses command that [a man who wanted to divorce] his wife should give her a paper [stating his reason for] divorcing her, and then send her away?”
Maduda makhoina Ibungoda hairak-i, “Adu oirabadi, nupa amana mahakki nupibu khainabada khaina-che ama piyu haina Moses-na yathang piramliba adu karigino?”
8 He said to them, “It was because [your ancestors] stubbornly [wanted their own way] that Moses allowed them to divorce their wives, [and you are no different from them]. But when God first [MTY] created a man and a woman, [he did not intend for them to separate].
Jisuna makhoida khumlak-i, “Nakhoigi thamoi kanbagi maramna Moses-na nakhoida nupi khainaba yarambani, adubu ahoubadadi matou asumna touramba natte.
9 I am telling you emphatically that [because God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, he considers that] any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, unless [his first wife] has committed adultery.”
Eina nakhoida hairibasini, atoppa nupaga yumbanbagi mari leinarambagi khak nattana kanagumbana mahakki nupibu khainaduna atoppa nupi amabu luhongduna lourabadi mahakna nupi lannabagi thabak tourabani. Aduga khainarabi mahakpu louba mahak aduna nupi lannabagi thabak tourabani.”
10 We disciples said to him, “If that is true, it is better for men never to marry!”
Maduda Ibungogi tung-inbasing aduna Ibungoda hairak-i, “Nupa amaga, magi nupigagi marakta asumna mari leinarabadi luhongdabana henna phei.”
11 Then he said to us, “Not every man is able to accept this teaching. Only the men whom [God] enables [to accept it are able to do so].
Aduga Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Wa asi mi khudingmakna lousinba ngamde, adubu Tengban Mapuna madubu pibiba makhoikhaktana lousinba ngammi.
12 There are men who [do not marry because they are not able to have sexual relations because they] have been sexually defective ever since they were born. There are other men [who do not marry because they are unable to have sexual relations] because they have been castrated {other men have made them that way}. There are other [men who decide not to marry] [MET] in order that they can serve God better [and spend more time telling people about how] God [MTY/EUP] wants to rule people’s lives. You who are able to understand [what I have said about marriage] should accept it [and obey it].”
Maramdi mi kharadi mama puknungdagi masa onba oina poklak-i, aduga misingna semba masa onbasu lei, aduga kharana Tengban Mapugi swarga leibakkidamak luhongdaba misu lei. Lousinba ngamba mahak aduna masi lousinjasanu.”
13 Then [some] children were brought {[some people] brought their children} to Jesus in order that he might lay his hands on them and pray [for them]. But we disciples scolded the people [for bringing their children to Jesus because we thought that Jesus did not want to take the time to be with children].
Nongma mi kharana makhoigi apikpa angangsingbu Jisuda khut thamhanduna makhoigidamak haijahannabagidamak puraklammi. Adubu Ibungogi tung-inbasingna makhoibu cheirammi.
14 But [when Jesus saw us scolding them], he said to us, “Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are [humble and trusting] like they are, who can experience God’s rule [in their lives].”
Maduda Jisuna hairak-i, “Apikpa angangsingdu eigi nakta lakchasanu, makhoibu thingganu, maramdi swarga leibak adu makhoi asigumbasingga manaba mising adugini.”
15 Jesus then laid his hands on the children [and asked God to bless them]. Then he left there.
Aduga Ibungona makhoigi mathakta khut thambiraba matungda mapham adudagi chatkhre.
16 [As Jesus was walking along, a young] man approached him and said [to him], “Teacher, what good [deeds] must I do in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios )
Nongma nupa amana Jisugi nakta laktuna asumna hangjarammi, “Aphaba Oja Ibungo, lomba naidaba hingba phangnanaba eina kari aphaba thabak toujagadage?” (aiōnios )
17 Jesus said to him, “(Consider [what you are implying about who I am when] you ask me about what is good./Do you realize [what you are implying about who I am when] you ask me about that which is good?) [RHQ] Only one being is good and [really knows what is good. That being is God. But in order to answer your question] about [desiring to] live [with God eternally], I [will say to you], ‘Keep the commandments [that God gave Moses’].”
Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Nahakna eibu kari maramgi aphaba kouribage? Tengban Mapu nattana mi kana amata aphaba leite, adubu nahakna hingba phangninglabadi, nahakna mahakki yathangsing adu illu.”
18 The man asked Jesus, “Which [commandments must I keep]?” Jesus answered [him], “Do not murder [anyone], do not commit adultery, do not steal things, do not testify falsely,
Nupa aduna hairak-i, “Karamba yathangno?” Maduda Jisuna khumlak-i, “Nahakna mi hatkanu, nahakna mitu-miwa lanaganu, nahakna huran-ganu, nahakna aranba sakhi piganu.
19 honor your father and your mother, and love people you come in contact with as [much as you love] yourself.”
Nama napabu ikai khumnou, amasung nahakki yumlon keironnabasingbu nasamakkumna nungsiyu.”
20 [Thinking that he might not be able to live with God eternally even though he had kept those commandments], the young man said to Jesus, “I have always obeyed all those commandments. What else must I do [in order to live with God eternally]?”
Maduda naha aduna Ibungoda hairak-i, “Eina angang oiringeidagi houna hairiba yathang pumnamaksing asi ngakcharak-i; houjik eina tougadaba kari ama amuk watlibage?”
21 Jesus said to him, “If you desire to be all that God intends you to be, go [home], sell everything that you have and give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Nahakna mapung phaba oininglabadi, nahakna chattuna nahakki leijaba pumnamak yonthoklaga lairabasingda piyu, adu oirabadi swargada nahakki lan leigani; aduga lak-u, eigi itung illu.”
22 When the young man heard those words, he went away feeling sad, because he was very rich [and did not want to give away everything he owned].
Adubu naha aduna wasing asi tabada, pukning wana chatkhirammi; maramdi mahak maral-mathum yamna leiba mi oirammi.
23 Then Jesus said to [us] disciples, “Keep this in mind: It is very difficult for rich people [to decide] to let God [MTY/EUP] rule their [lives].
Adudagi Jisuna mahakki tung-inbasing aduda hairak-i, “Eina nakhoida tasengnamak hairibasini, inakkhunba mina swarga leibakta changba yamna lui.
24 Note this also: It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is [almost] as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
Eina nakhoida amuk hanna hairi, madudi inakkhunba mi amana Tengban Mapugi leibakta changbabudi, ut amana yetum manada litpana henna lai.”
25 When [we] disciples heard this, we were astounded. [We thought that rich people were the ones whom God blesses the most. So we said to him], “(If that is so, it does not seem likely that anyone will be saved!/Who then will God will save?)” [RHQ]
Ibungogi tung-inbasing aduna wapham adu tabada yamna ngakladuna Ibungoda hangjarak-i, “Adu oirabadi kanana kanbiba phangba ngamgadage?”
26 [When Jesus heard us say that], he looked intently at us, and [then] he said to us, “[Yes], it is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God is able to do [anything]!”
Jisuna makhoida yengladuna hairak-i, “Mioibagi maphamdadi masi oithoktabani, adubu Tengban Mapugi maphamdadi pumnamak oithokpa ngaktani.”
27 Then Peter said to him, “You know that we [(exc)] have left everything behind and we have become your disciples. So what benefit will we get [for doing that]?”
Adudagi Peter-na Ibungoda hairak-i, “Yengbiyu, eikhoina pumnamak thadoktuna Ibungogi tung injare. Adu oirabadi eikhoina kari phangjagani?”
28 Jesus said to us, “Keep this in mind: [You will get many benefits]. When [God] makes [the] new [earth] and when [I], the one who came from heaven, sit on my magnificent throne, those of you who have accompanied me will each sit on a throne, and you will judge [the people of] the twelve tribes of Israel.
Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Eina nakhoida tasengnamak hairibasini, anouba taibangpan aduda Migi Machanupa aduna mahakki matik mangalgi phambalda phamba matamda, eigi tung-inba nakhoi taranithoisu phambal taranithoida phamduna, Israel-gi salai taranithoibu wayen-gani.
29 [God will reward] those who, because of being my [disciples], have left [behind] a house or plot of ground, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, their father, their mother, their children, [or any other family] [MTY] [members]. [God] will give them 100 times [as many benefits as they have given up]. And they will live [with God] eternally. (aiōnios )
Aduga eigi maramgidamak mayum makei, machin-manao, machan-mache, mama mapa, macha-masu, lou-sing thadokpa mi khudingmakna madugi saruk chama henna amasung lomba naidaba hingba phangjagani. (aiōnios )
30 But many [people who consider themselves to] be important [now] will be unimportant [at that future time], and many [people who consider themselves to be] unimportant [now will be] important [at that future time].”
Adubu ahanba oiriba kayana akonba oigani, aduga akonba oiriba kayana ahanba oigani.”
