1 Jisasi'a amanage huno amagema nentaza disaipol naga'a zamasami'ne, Reheno kezana egahie. Hianagi iza'o reramatga nehimofonkura nasunku huntoe!
[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!
2 Witi refuzafu nepaza havere nofi anakiza, anankempi rentete'za, hagerimpi atrenageno uramisiana knare zantfa hugahie. Neone nagapinti magomofo azeri trakama huzankura,
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!]
3 tamagra kva hiho! Neramafuma kumima hanigeta, haviza nehane huta hinkeno, agu'ama rukrehema hanigeta, kumi'a atrentegahaze.
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.
4 Ana ne'mo'ma mago knamofo agu'afi 7ni'a zupa (seven times) 7ni'a kumi huramanteteno, ana kefozama'agu agu'a rukrahe huno 7ni'a zupa eno nasunku hue hanigeta, kumi'a atrentegahaze.
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.”
5 Aposol naga'amo'za, Ramofona anage hu'za asmi'naze, tamentintia eri ra huo hu'za hazageno,
[One day] the apostles said to the Lord, “Help us to trust [in you] (OR, [in God]) more strongly!”
6 Ramo'a anage huno zamasami'ne, Tamagrima tamementintimo'ma masteti zafa ragagna hu'nenigeta, mulberi zafagura amne tasagi hunka hagerimpi ome regrio hanageno'a, ketamia amage'anteno amne anara hugahie.
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!”
7 Ina'imoka amuno tamifina kazokzo eri'za vahe ka'amo'ma hoza tinka eri'zano, sipisipi kegava nehaniregati enkenka, ame hunka emaninka ne'zana no hugahano?
[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!’
8 Hu'neanagi kva'amo'a amanahu kea kazokzo eri'za ne'agura osugahio, kukenaka'a eri hutenka nezama nesuazana retro hunenantege'na, tine nezanena netesugenka, henka tine nezane kagra negahane hugahie?
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.’
9 Hanki agra kazokzo eri'za ne'agura musenkea huontegahio? Na'ankure huo huno'ma hunte'neazana hu'ne.
(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]
10 Ana hu'negu kagranena, maka'zama Anumzamo huo huno hugante'neazama hanunka anage huo, tagra knare osunona kazokzo eriza vahemota, Anumzamo eriho huno hurante'nea eri'za e'nerune huta hugahaze.
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.’”
11 Jisasi'a Jerusalemi vunaku nevuno, Sameria kuma'ene Galili kumamofo amunompi rugitagino vu'ne.
As [Jesus and his disciples] were walking along the road to Jerusalem, they were going through [the region] between Samaria and Galilee [districts].
12 Nevuno mago kumapi ufregeno, 10ni'a fugo namune vahe'mo'za ogamnu otiza mani'ne'za ome tutagiha hunte'naze.
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

and called out, “Jesus, Master, pity us [and heal us]!”
14 Jisasi'a nezmageno amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Tamagra vuta pristi vahete tamavufga ome zamaveri hiho, hige'za nevazageno fugo namuzmimo'a amne higeza agru hu'naze.
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.
15 Hagi mago'zmimo'a keana avufgamo so'e higeno, rukrahe huno ranke huno Anumzamofo agi erisaga nehuno,
Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God loudly.
16 Jisasi agafi avugosaregati epri huno, susu huno musenke huntene. Ana nera Sameria nere.
He [came to Jesus], prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet, and thanked him. This man was a Samaritan, [not a Jew].
17 Anante Jisasi'a anage hu'ne, 10ni'a vahe'mokizmi fugo namumo'a so'e hige'za agru hu'naze. Hianagi 9ni'a vahe zaga iga mani'naze?
Then Jesus said, “[I] healed ten [lepers] (I am disappointed that the other nine did not come back!/Where are the other nine?) [RHQ]
18 Mago vahe'mo'a eama huno Anumzamofona ra agi omigeno, ama megi'a ne'mokepi?
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!”
19 Jisasi'a anage huno ana ne'mofonku hu'ne, Kamentintimo kazeri so'e hianka otinka vuo.
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].”
20 Farisi vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo kumakura, inan knare egahie hu'za Jisasina antahigazageno, kenona zimirera anage hu'ne, Anumzamofo kumara mago avame'zane esigeta onkesageno,
[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.
21 amagi keho huge, antugi keho hu'za zamagra osugahaze. Na'ankure Anumzamofo kumamo'a ko tamagri amu'nompi me'ne.
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).”
22 Anage nehuno, amagema nentaza disaipol naga'a zamasamino, Mago kna ne-eankino, ana knarera Vahe'mofo Mofavre kenaku hanazanagi, tamagra onketfa hugahaze.
[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.
23 Zamagra anage hu'za tmasamigahaze, antufi mani'neanki keho huge! Amafi mani'neanki keho! Hanigetma anantega ovuta, zmavaririta ana vahera oviho.
[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].
24 Vahemofo Mofavre'ma esia kna'arera kopsi'namo monare rurarage huno remsa nehigeno, mago kazigati remsa huno mago kaziga atuparega neviankna hugahie.
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].
25 Hu'neanagi ese'zana Agra rama'a knazampi unefresigeno, ama mani'nona gnafi vahe'mo'za zmefi humigahaze.
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].
26 Noa knafima hu'nazaza hu'za, Vahe'mofo Mofavremoma enaku'ma hania knafina, anahu zamavuzamava nehu'za,
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].
27 zamagra ne'zana nene'za, tina nene'za, arave nehu'za, ara masi omi ami nehazageno, Noa'a vente agu'afi marerigeno, timo'a miko zamahe refite'ne. (Jen-Agfa 7)
[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].

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].
30 Vahe'mofo Mofavrema eama hunaku'ma hania knarera, anahukna zamavuzmava hugahaze.
Similarly, when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, [people will be unprepared] (OR, [enjoying normal life]).
31 Ana knazupa nomofo agofetu mani'nenigeno, fenozama'a agu'afi me'nesimo'a eramino fenoma'a erino ati oramigahie. Anahukna huno hozafima mani'nenimo'a rukrehe huno omeno.
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].
32 Hanki Loti nenaronte fore hu'nea zanku tamagesa antahiho. (Jen-Agf 19:24-26)
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].

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].
34 Hanki Nagra anage hu'na neramasamue. Ana knazupa tare vahe sipare kenage mase'nesnake'no, mago'mofo nevreno mago'mofo atregahie.
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]}.
35 Tare atre'mokea witi raga'a refuzafunepeke mani'nesnapinti, magomofo nevreno mago'mofo atregahie.
Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left {[God] will take one and leave the other} [behind].”
36 Hagi tare netremoke hozafi mani'nesnakeno, mago'mofona nevreno, mago'mofona atregahie.
37 Anankemofo nona zamagra Jisasinku hu'za, Ramoka inantega anazana fore hugahie? Hu'za amage'ma nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za antahigazageno, anage huno zamasami'ne, Fri'nea avufgama, me'nesirega anantega tumpa namamo'za eri atru hugahaze.
[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].”
