Lukas 12
1 ARAMAS toto ap pokon pena lao kidalar, irail lao it pena, i ap kotin tapiada masani ong sapwilim a tounpadak kan: Komail kalaka kalep en Parisär akan, me malaun.
Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees [Separated], which is hypocrisy.
2 Pwe sota me rir kot, me sota pan sansalada. Pil sota me okiok kot, me so pan kalok sili.
But there is nothing covered up, that will not be revealed, nor hidden, that will not be known.
3 Ari, me komail pan indada ni wasa rotorot, i me pan sansal nan marain. O me komail pan monginingin nan pera kan, i me pan kalok sili pon im akan.
Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
4 A I indai ong komail, kompok pai kan, komail der masak irail, me kin kamela pali war, ap solar kak wia meakot.
“I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 A I pan kaasa kin komail, me komail en masak: Masak i, me manaman ong kamela aramas ap kak kasela nan pweleko. Melel I indai ong komail, i me komail en masak. (Geenna g1067)
But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna (Place of fiery torment for the dead). Yes, I tell you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Siok limen sota kin netila ni denar riau? Ari so, sota amen irail me Kot kin maliela.
“Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria coins (a trivial cost)? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
7 Ari, pil pit en mong omail karos me wadawad penaer. Komail ari der masak, pwe komail me mau sang siok toto.
But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
8 A I indai ong komail, meamen ponasa ia mon aramas, i me Nain aramas pan ponasa ren tounlang en Kot akan.
“I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God;
9 A meamen kamam kin ia mon aramas, i me pan kamamaki mon tounlang en Kot akan.
but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
10 O meamen me pan lokaia sued duen Nain aramas, a pan kak lapwada. A me lalaue Ngen saraui, a sota pan lapwada.
Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against Ruach haKodesh [Spirit, Breath of the Holiness] will not be forgiven.
11 A ma re pan wa komail la nan ar sinakoke kan mon kapung o ren me manaman akan, komail depa lamelame, da me komail pan sapengki de me komail en inda.
When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t be anxious how or what you will answer, or what you will say;
12 Pwe Ngen saraui pan kapame kin komail ni klok ota, me komail en inda.
for Ruach haKodesh [Spirit, Breath of the Holiness] will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
13 A amen toun pokon potoan ong i: Saunpadak, kom kotin masani ong ri ai ol o, en nek pasang at soso.
One of the multitude said to him, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14 A kotin masani ong i: Aramas o, is me kasapwil ia da, en saunkapungla o saunnene re oma?
But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
15 O kotin masani ong irail: Kalaka norok sued, pwe kaidin kapwa toto, me aramas amen kin memaur kida!
He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life does not consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
16 A kotin masani ong irail karaseras eu: Ol kapwapwa amen mia, me sap we kaparapar kaualap.
He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
17 I ari lamelame indada: Da me i en wiada? Pwe solar wasa en nekinek ia ai kapwa kan.
He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’
18 I ari indada: Nan iet me i pan wiada: I pan palang pasang ai im en nak kan, ap kauada me laude sang kai; i wasa me i pan nekidala me wosadang ia o ai dipisou karos;
He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19 A i pan indang ngen i: Ngen i, dipisou toto ong par toto, me nekineki ong uk er. En moleilei, o manga, o nim o perenta!
I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, be merry.”’
20 A Kot ap masani ong i: Pweipwei men koe, pwe pongpong wet ngen om pan ilakido. A is me pan aneki kapwa pukat, me koe nanak penaer?
“But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared— whose will they be?’
21 Nan iduen me kin roporop pena dipisou ong pein i, ap sota kapwapwa ren Kot.
So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
22 A a kotin masani ong sapwilim a tounpadak kan: I me I indai ong komail, eder lamelame maur omail, me komail pan tungole, pil iermen pali war, me komail pan likauki!
He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
23 Maur me kasampwal sang manga, o war me mau sang likau.
Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
24 Kalelapok ong rape kan! Re sota kin kamorok, re pil sota kin nak pena, pil sota arail pera de im en nak, a Kot kin kotin katungole ir. A komail so kasampwal sang manpir kaualap?
Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
25 A is nan pung omail, ni a ngongki, me pan kak use pasang pein i ki tipong en pa eu?
Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit [18 in; 45.72 cm] to his height?
26 Ari, ma komail sota kak ong wiada me mangai, a da me komail kin ngongki okotme?
If then you are not able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
27 Kalelapok ong kiop akan, me mi nan sap, duen ar kakairida! Re sota kin dodok, o re sota kin monkol pena. A I indai ong komail, pil Salomo ni a lingan karos sota a likau dueta apot irail.
Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon [Peaceable, Recompense] in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 Ari, ma iduen Kot kotin kapwataki dip, me mi nan sap ran wet, a lakap pan lokidokila nan stop, iaduen a sota pan madang kalikauwiada komail, me poson tikitik?
But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little trusting faith?
29 A komail, ender ngongki, me komail pan manga o nim, o komail der insensued!
Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
30 Pwe mepukat men liki kan kin ngongongki. Pwe Sam omail, me kotikot nanlang, mangi, me mepukat karos mau ong komail.
For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but 'Avikah ·your Father· knows that you need these things.
31 A rapaki sapwilim a wei, a mepukat pan pousalang komail.
But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
32 Der masak pwin tikitik koe, pwe iet kupur en Sam omail: En ki ong komail wei o.
Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is 'Avikah ·your Father·’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
33 Netikila omail kapwa kan, ap kisakisa wei, wiai ong komail ed ko, me sota pan maringala, o pai nanlang, me so pan ola, wasa me lipirap men so kak ong, o man en mot so kak kawela ia.
Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.
34 Pwe wasa omail pai mi ia, iei wasa mongiong omail pil kin mia,
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Nan luke pamail en katengteng pena o omail ser en isis
“Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
36 O komail en dueta aramas akan, me auiaui ar monsap ni a pan kodo sang kamadip en papaud, pwe i lao kodo letelet, re en madang ritingada mo a.
Be like men watching for their lord, when he teshuvah ·completely returns· from the marriage feast; that, when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
37 Ladu ko meid pai, me monsap o ni a pan pwarado, diar ar masamasan. Melel I indai ong komail, a pan kaiada a likau o kamod irail edi ong manga, ap pan apapwali irail.
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you, that he will dress himself, and make them recline, and will come and serve them.
38 O ma a pwarado ni auer kariau, de kasilu, ap diar ir masamasan, nan meid pai ladu pukat.
They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch, and finds them so.
39 A komail en asa, ma kaun pan im o asaer ansaun lolap o pan pwarado, a pan masamasan o so pan mueid ong, im a en kulia sang.
But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not allowed his house to be broken into.
40 Komail ari pil ononop, pwe Nain aramas pan pwarado niansau me komail sasa.
Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”
41 Petrus ap potoan ong i: Maing, re kotin masani dong kit karaseras wet, de ong irail karos?
Peter [Rock] said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
42 A Kaun o kotin masani: Ari is saunkoa lelapok o lolekong, me a monsap kasapwilada, en kaunda a ladu kan, pwen nek ong irail kan ar manga ni ansau me kon on?
The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
43 Meid pai ladu o, me a monsap pan diarada wiawia duen met ni a pan pwarado!
Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
44 Melel I indai ong komail, a pan kasapwiladang i pon a dipisou karos.
Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has.
45 A ma ladu o pan lamelame nan mongiong i: Ai monsap pwapwand, o a pan tapiada kame ladu o lidu kan, o manga o nim, o kamom sakau,
But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken,
46 Monsap en ladu o ap pan pwara do ni ran o, me a so auiaui i, o ni auer, me a sasa, o a pan lepuk pasang i, o kasapokalang nan pung en me soposon akan.
then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not expecting him, and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
47 A ladu o, me asa kupur en a monsap, a sota kaonopada pein i, pil sota wiada kupur a, nan i me pan kamekam kaualap.
That servant, who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
48 A me sasa, ap wiadar me mau ong kalokolok, nan i me pan kalokolok tikitik. Pwe me aleer me toto, i me pan kida me toto; o me koaki me toto, pan purokido me toto.
but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
49 I kodon saundi kisiniai sappa, a da me I en wiada, ma a saundier?
“I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
50 A mas I pan paptaise kila paptais eu; I ap patau kila melel, a lao daulier.
But I have an immersion to be immersed with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
51 Komail lamelame, me I kodon ki ong sappa popol? I indai ong komail: So! A pwen kumuei suedala.
Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
52 Pwe sang met kokola limen toun im eu pan liak toror pasang; silimen pan palian riamen, o riamen pan palian silimen.
For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 Sam pan palian na putak, a putak o pan palian sam a; in pan palian na seripein, a seripein pan palian in a; a li amen pan palian na ol a paud, o en na ol a paud pan palian li o.
They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
54 A kotin masani ong pokon o: Komail lao udial dapok sang kapin lang, komail kin inda: A pan katau; o a pan pwaida
He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
55 O ma komail kin kilang ang a usang ni pali air, komail kin inda: A pan karakar; o a pan wiaui.
When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
56 Malaun komail! Komail asa kasaui mas en sappa o lang, a da me komail sasaki kasauida ansau wet?
You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?
57 A da me pein komail sota kasauia kida me pung?
Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
58 A ma koe pan iang me palian uk kolang kapung o, en nantiong pon al o, en kapungala re a, pwe a de pang uk alang saunkapung, a saunkapung pang uk ala ren silepan imateng, a silepan imateng pan kase uk ala nan imateng.
For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
59 I indai ong uk: Koe sota pan koda sang wasa o, koe lao kapungala lua karos.
I tell you, you will by no means get out of there, until you have paid the very last penny.”
