Luke 11
1 Sie len ah Jesus el pre in sie acn. Ke el tari, sie sin mwet tumal lutlut fahk nu sel, “Leum, luti kut in pre, oana ke John el luti nu sin mwet tumal lutlut ah.”
Then it happened, when He finished praying in a certain place, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”
2 Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Kowos in pre ouinge: ‘Papa: Lela Ine mutal lom in akfulatyeyuk; Lela Tokosrai lom in tuku.
So He said to them: “Whenever you pray, say: Our Father who is in the heavens, your name must be reverenced. Your Kingdom must come. Your will must be done on earth as it is in heaven.
3 Kite kut mwe mongo ma kut enenu pingana len.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 Nunak munas nu sesr ke ma koluk lasr, Mweyen kut nunak munas nu sin mwet nukewa su oru koluk nu sesr. Ac tia kol kut nu ke mwe srike upa.’”
Also, forgive us our sins, because we also forgive everyone indebted to us. And, do not lead us into testing, but deliver us from the malignant one.”
5 Ac Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut, “Fin pa sie suwos som nu lohm sin mwet kawuk se lal ke infulwen fong ac fahk nu sel, ‘Mwet kawuk, sewin tolkwe lof in bread an.
Then He said to them: “Who among you will have a friend and go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,
6 Kawuk se luk fahsr nu ke sie pac acn tuh pa tui yuruk, a wangin ma ngan sang kital!’
because a friend has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;
7 Na kawuk se lom el fin kasma luin lohm uh me, ‘Nimet tukasru! Ku kom tia liye lah srungul uh kauli tari? Nga ac tulik nutik inge mutulla tari. Nga tia ku in tukakek ac sot enenu lom an.’
and he will answer from within and say, ‘Don't bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give to you?’
8 Na fuka? Nga fahk nu suwos lah el finne tia tukakek ac sot bread uh nu sum ke sripen kom mwet kawuk lal, tusruk ke sripen sumwekin ac kuinsrim lom an, el ac tukakek ac sot mwe enenu lom nukewa.
I say to you, even if he will not get up and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
9 Ouinge nga fahk nu suwos: Siyuk, ac ac fah itukot nu suwos; suk, ac kowos fah konauk; towolak, ac ac fah ikakla nu suwos.
“So I say to you: ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
10 Tuh elos nukewa su siyuk ac fah eis, ac el su suk el fah konauk, ac srungul ac fah ikakla nu sin kutena mwet su towolak.
Because everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
11 Su suwos su oasr tulik natu ac sang nu sin wen natul soko wet pwasin el fin siyuk ke soko ik?
And which father among you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if a fish, will he give him a snake instead of a fish?
12 Ku el fin siyuk ke sie atro, ya kom ac sang nu sel soko scorpion?
Or if he asks for an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
13 Kowos finne koluk, a kowos etu in sang ma wo nu sin tulik nutuwos uh. Kalem na lah Papa tomowos inkusrao El ac oru arulana yohk liki, ac El ac fah sang Ngun Mutal nu selos su siyuk sel!”
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
14 Jesus el lusla sie demon su oru mwet se kofla kaskas, ac ke pacl se demon sac illa ah, mwet sac mutawauk in kaskas. Un mwet se ma liye ah arulana fwefela,
Then He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. As a result, when the demon had gone out the mute spoke! And the crowds marveled.
15 tusruktu kutu selos fahk mu, “Beelzebul, leum lun demon uh, pa sang ku nu sel in luselosyak uh.”
But some of them said, “It's by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons, that he casts out demons.”
16 Ac kutu pac selos kena srikal Jesus, ouinge elos siyuk sel elan oru sie mwe akul in akkalemye lah ku lal ma inkusrao me.
While others kept asking Him for a sign from heaven, testing.
17 Tuh Jesus el etu ma elos nunku, na el fahk nu selos, “Kutena mutunfacl su srisrielik ac alein sie sin sie fah tia oan paht; sie sou su srisrielik ac fah musalelik.
But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against itself falls.
18 Ke ma inge, u lun Satan uh fin tukeni aacnwuki, na tokosrai lal uh ac ku fuka? Kowos fahk mu nga lusla demon uh mweyen Beelzebul el se ku luk in oru.
So if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand?—since you say I cast out demons by Beelzebul!
19 Fin pa ingan ouiya nga oru uh, na mwet lowos uh luselosla fuka? Mwet lowos uh sifacna akpwayei lah kowos sutuela!
Further, if I am casting out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20 Tiana ouingan, a ku lun God pa oru nga in lusla demon uh, ac ma inge akpwayei lah Tokosrai lun God tuku tari nu yuruwos.
But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
21 “Ke sie mwet fokoko el akoela tari kufwen mwe mweun lal nukewa in karingin lohm sel, na ma lal nukewa ac oanna wo.
“When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his possessions are safe.
22 Tusruktu sie mwet ma ku lukel fin tuku lainul ac kutangulla, el ac usla kufwen mweun nukewa ma mwet sac tuh lulalfongi, ac kitalik ma el pisrala uh.
But when someone stronger than he attacks, he overcomes him, takes away all his armor in which he trusted, and distributes his spoils.
23 “El su tia wiyu, el lainyu. Ac el su tia wiyu eisani, el sisalik.
“He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.
24 “Ke pacl se sie ngun fohkfok ac illa liki sie mwet, el ac forfor in acn ma wangin kof we, in suk acn elan mongla we. El fin tia ku in konauk, el ac fahk nu sel sifacna, ‘Nga ac folokla nu in lohm se nga muta we meet ah.’
“Whenever an unclean spirit goes out from a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest; and not finding any it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came out.’
25 Ouinge el ac folokla ac liye lah acn sac nasnasla ac arulana akoeyukla wo.
And coming it finds it swept and put in order.
26 Na el ac illa ac sifil solama itkosr pac ngun fohkfok ma arulana koluk lukel, na elos ac tuku ac muta we. Na ac oru tuh moul lun mwet sac ac koluk liki na meet ah.”
Then it goes and picks up seven other spirits, more malignant than itself, and they go in and live there; so the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
27 Ke Jesus el fahk ma inge, mutan se kasak liki inmasrlon mwet uh ac fahk nu sel, “Insewowo mutan se su oswekomla ac katitii kom!”
And then, as He was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that you sucked!”
28 A Jesus el topuk, “Aok pwaye, tuh elos su lohng kas lun God ac akos, ac insewowo yohk liki!’”
But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it!”
29 Ke mwet uh iktokeni nu yorol Jesus, el sifilpa fahk, “Fuka lupan koluk lun mwet in pacl inge uh! Elos siyuk sie mwe akul lulap, tuh wangin ma ac itukyang nu selos sayen mwe akul kacl Jonah.
Now as the crowds were increasing, He began to say: “This is a malignant generation. It keeps wanting a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
30 In oapana ke mwet palu Jonah el tuh sie mwe akul nu sin mwet Nineveh, ouinge Wen nutin Mwet el ac fah sie mwe akul nu sin mwet in pacl inge.
Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of the Man be to this generation.
31 Ke Len in Nununku uh, Kasra lun Sheba el ac mau tuyak ac orek loh lain mwet in pacl inge uh, mweyen el tuh tuku liki acn sel su oan yen loeslana in tuh porongo kas lalmwetmet lal Solomon; ac nga fahk nu suwos lah oasr sie inge su arulana yohk lukel Solomon.
The queen of the South will be raised up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and she will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.
32 Ke Len in Nununku, mwet Nineveh elos ac mau tuyak ac orek loh lain kowos, mweyen elos tuh forla liki ma koluk lalos ke elos lohng luti lal Jonah; ac nga fahk nu suwos lah oasr sie inge su arulana yohk lukel Jonah!
The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and they will condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.
33 “Wangin sie mwet ac akosak sie lam ac okanla, ku afinya ke sie ahlu. El ac filiya fin sukan lam uh, tuh mwet uh in liye kalem kac ke elos ac utyak nu in lohm uh.
“No one, having lit a lamp, puts it in hiding or under a basket, but on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.
34 Atronmutun mwet uh oana sie lam nu ke mano. Atronmotom fin nasnas, na monum nufon ac sessesla ke kalem; tusruktu atronmotom fin koluk, monum nufon ac fah lohsr.
The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, whenever your ‘eye’ is good, your whole body is illuminated. But when it is malignant, your body also is darkened.
35 Kowos karinganang tuh kalem su oan in kowos an in tia lohsr.
So see to it that the ‘light’ in you not be darkness.
36 Monum nufon fin sessesla ke kalem ac wangin kitin acn lohsr kac, ac fah arulana kalem, oana ke sie lam ac tolkowosyak ke kalem yohk la.”
If then your whole body is full of light, not having any part dark, the whole will be illuminated, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.”
37 Tukun Jesus el kaskas tari, sie mwet Pharisee solal elan welul mongo; ouinge el utyak ac akola in mongo.
Now as He spoke, a certain Pharisee invited Him to eat with him. So He went in and reclined.
38 Mwet Pharisee sac lut ke el liye lah Jesus el tiana winwinla meet liki el mongo.
But the Pharisee, noticing that He did not first wash before the meal, was critical.
39 Ouinge Leum el fahk nu sel, “Kowos mwet Pharisee uh oaru na in ohlla acn lik ke cup ac ahlu in mongo lowos uh, a insiowos sesseslana ke sulallal ac ma koluk.
So the Lord said to him: “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but your inside is full of greed and malignancy.
40 Kowos mwet nikin! God, su orala acn lik El oayapa orala acn loac!
Fools! Did not He who made the outside also make the inside?
41 A kowos in sang ma oan in cup ac ahlu lowos an nu sin mwet sukasrup, na ma nukewa ac fah nasnas nu suwos.
Nevertheless, give what is possible as alms; then indeed all things are clean to you.
42 “We nu suwos mwet Pharisee! Kowos sang nu sin God sie tafu singoul, finne ke mahsrik mwe akyuye mongo oana mint ac rue, a kowos pilesru nununku suwohs ac lungse nu sin God. Fal kowos in oru ma inge, ac tia pilesru ma saya uh.
“But woe to you Pharisees! You tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you ignore justice and the love of God. These it was necessary to do, without leaving those undone.
43 “We nu suwos mwet Pharisee! Kowos lungse nien muta fulat in iwen lolngok uh, ac in paingyuk kowos ke kas in sunak ke nien kuka uh.
Woe to you Pharisees! You love the best seat in the synagogues, and greetings in the marketplaces.
44 We nu suwos! Kowos oana kulyuk ma wangin akul kac, na mwet uh fahsr fac ac tia akilen.”
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You are like unperceived graves, that people walk on without knowing it.”
45 Sie sin mwet luti Ma Sap uh fahk nu sel, “Mwet Luti, ke kom fahk ma inge, kom akkolukye kut pac!”
Then one of the lawyers reacted and said to him, “Teacher, by saying these things you insult us also!”
46 Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “We nu suwos pac, mwet luti Ma Sap! Kowos sang mwe utuk toasr nu fin mwet uh, a kowos tia asroela sokofanna kufinpouwos in kasrelos us ma inge.
So He said: “Woe to you lawyers also! You load men down with burdens hard to carry, but you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 We nu suwos! Kowos orala kulyuk na wowo nu sin mwet palu uh — nuna mwet palu na ma papa matu tomowos elos tuh onela.
Woe to you! You restore the tombs of the prophets, it being your fathers who killed them.
48 Kowos sifacna akkalemye lah kowos insese nu ke ma mwet matu lowos elos oru meet ah. Elos uniya mwet palu ah, na kowos musaela kulyuk lalos uh.
Thereby you witness to and approve of the deeds of your fathers; because they indeed killed them, while you restore their tombs.
49 Ke sripa se inge, Lalmwetmet lun God fahk mu, ‘Nga ac fah supwala mwet palu ac mwet sap nu yorolos; elos ac fah uniya kutu selos, ac kalyei kutu.’
Also, because of this ‘the wisdom of God’ said: ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’
50 Ke ma inge mwet in pacl inge ac fah eis mwatan akmas ma papa matu tumalos tuh oru ke elos onela mwet palu nukewa ke mutaweyen orekla faclu ah me,
so that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
51 mutawauk ke akmas kacl Abel me nwe ke akmas kacl Zechariah, su tuh anwuki inmasrlon loang in kisa ac Acn Mutal in Tempul uh. Aok, nga fahk nu suwos, mwet in fil se inge ac fah kalyeiyuk kaclos inge nukewa!
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation!
52 “We nu suwos mwet luti Ma Sap uh! Kowos sruok key nu ke mutunoa lun etauk, a kowos sifacna tia utyak nu we, ac kowos kutongolos su kena utyak!”
Woe to you lawyers! You have taken away the key of knowledge; you yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering!”
53 Ke Jesus el som liki lohm sac, mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee elos mutawauk in arulana lainul, ac srikal ke mwe siyuk puspis,
Well when He had said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge Him on vehemently and to cross-examine Him about many things,
54 mweyen elos kena sruokilya ke kutu ma el ac fahk.
lying in wait for Him, trying to catch Him in something He might say, so that they might accuse Him.
