Lukas 9
1 A LAO kotin molipe pena ekriamen oko, ap kotiki ong irail kel o manaman, en kaloedi tewil akan karos o kakelada me somau kan.
Jesus called the Twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, as well as to cure diseases.
2 I ari kotin porone ir ala, pwen padapadak duen wein Kot o kakelada me somau kan.
He sent them out as his Messengers, to proclaim the Kingdom of God, and to work cures.
3 O a kotin masani ong irail: Komail der wala meakot pon al o: Sota sokon, de ed, de prot, de moni, amen pil so pan wa sakit riau.
“Do not,” he said to them, “take anything for your journey; not even a staff, or a bag, or bread, or any silver, or a change of clothes with you.
4 O wasa kis me komail pan pedelong ong nan im eu, komail pan mimieta wasa o, komail lao kowei sang ia.
Whatever house you go to stay in, remain there, and leave from that place.
5 O meamen kang kasamo komail, komail sapalewei sang kanim o, o sipede sang pwel ni nä omail, pwen kadede ong irail.
If people do not welcome you, as you leave that town, shake even the dust off your feet, as a protest against them.”
6 Irail ari kokola, kakan sili nan kisin kanim akan, padaki rongamau o kakelada me somau kan wasa karos.
Then they set out and went from village to village, telling the Good News and curing people everywhere.
7 A nanmarki Erodes lao mangi duen meakan, me wiauiki i, ap pingidar, pweki akai katitiki, me dene Ioanes iasadar sang ren me melar akan.
Prince Herod heard of all that was happening, and was perplexed, because it was said by some that John must be risen from the dead.
8 A akai indada, me dene Elias pwarado, o akai me inda, me dene saukop en kaua men iasadar,
Some again said that Elijah had appeared, and others that one of the old Prophets had risen again.
9 A Erodes masani: Ioanes, i me i lepuke sang mong a, a is men et, me i kin rongerong due? A ap men udial i.
But Herod himself said: “John I beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things?” And he endeavoured to see him.
10 A wanporon akan lao pure doer, ap kaireki i karos, me re wiadar. I ari kotin uk irail ada, kotilang wasa rir, nan kanim eu, me ad a Petsaida.
When the Apostles returned, they related to Jesus all that they had done. Then Jesus retired privately to a town called Bethsaida, taking the Apostles with him.
11 Toun sap o lao asaer, rap idauenla i, i ari kotin kasamo irail, o kotin padaki ong irail duen wein Kot, o kotin kakelada me mau ong.
But the people recognised him and followed him in crowds; and Jesus welcomed them and spoke to them about the Kingdom of God, while he cured those who were in need of help.
12 A lao pan wasa pongier, ekriamen potodo potoan ong i: Re kotin kadar pasang pokon en, pwen kola nan kisin kanim akan o nan sap, en rapaki wasan pweidi o kan ar kisin manga, pwe kitail kotikot nan sap tan wet,
The day was drawing to a close, when the twelve came up to him, and said: “Send the crowd away, so that they may make their way to the villages and farms round about, and find themselves lodgings and provisions, for we are in a lonely spot here.”
13 A a kotin masani ong irail: Komail pan ki ong irail kan ar manga! Re potoan ong: Lopon prot eta limau o mam eta riamen mi re at. De se pan kola netie dong pokon kalaimun wet manga?
But Jesus said: “It is for you to give them something to eat.” “We have not more than five loaves and two fishes,” they answered; “unless indeed we are to go and buy food for all these people.”
14 Pwe irail me ol impan limekid. A a kotin masani ong sapwilim a tounpadak kan: Komail pwini ir pasang wad limek o limek!
(For the men among them were about five thousand.) “Get them seated in companies,” was his reply, “about fifty in each.”
15 Irail ari wiada o kamod irail edi.
This they did, and got all the people seated.
16 A kotin limada lopon prot limau o mam riamen, masanda nanlang, laolaoki, pilitiki pena, kotiki ong sapwilim a tounpadak kan, pwe ren nene ong pokon o.
Taking the five loaves and the two fishes, Jesus looked up to Heaven and said the blessing over them. Then he broke them in pieces, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people.
17 Irail sak, o karos medier, ap rikada dodo eisokriau luan kamadip o.
Every one had sufficient to eat, and what was left of the broken pieces was picked up — twelve baskets.
18 Kadekadeo ni a kotin laolao kelep, sapwilim a tounpadak kan iang i. A kotin kainoma re’rail masani: Is me aramas kin inda me ngai?
Afterwards, when Jesus was alone, praying, his disciples joined him, and he asked them this question — “Who do the people say that I am?”
19 Irail sapeng potoan ong: Ioanes saunpaptais, a akai me inda Elias, o pil akai kin inda, me dene saukop en kaua men iasadar.
“John the Baptist,” was their answer; “others, however, say that you are Elijah, while others say that one of the old Prophets has risen again.”
20 A kotin masani ong irail: A da me komail kin inda is ngai? Petrus ap sapeng potoan ong: Ir me Kristus sapwilim en Kot.
“But you,” he went on, “who do you say that I am?” And to this Peter answered: “The Christ of God.”
21 A i me kotin padik inapwiedi irail, ren der indang meamen mepukat,
Jesus, however, strictly charged them not to say this to any one;
22 Masani: Nain aramas pan kalokolok laud, o lokidokila ren saumas, o samero lapalap, o saunkawewe kan, o a pan kamela, o ni ran kasilu a pan maureda,
he told them that the Son of Man must undergo much suffering, and be rejected by the Councillors, and Chief Priests, and Teachers of the Law, and be put to death, and rise on the third day.
23 Ap kotin masani ong irail karos: Meamen men idauen ia i en tonmeteki pein i o ale a lopu ni ran karos, o idedauen ia do.
And to all present he said: “If any man wishes to walk in my steps, let him renounce self, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 Pwe meamen kanakanai ong maur a, pan pupe sang. A meamen kasela maur a pweki ngai, pan diarada.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life — that man shall save it.
25 Pwe da me pan mau ong aramas amen, me aneki pena sappa karos, ap kasela pein i o kasapokela pein i?
What good does it do a man if, when he has gained the whole world, he has lost or forfeited himself?
26 Pwe me kin namenok kin ia o ai padak kan, i me Nain aramas pil pan namenokki, a lao kodo ni a lingan, o lingan en Sam a, o na tounlang saraui kan.
Whoever is ashamed of me and of my teaching, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him, when he comes in his Glory and the Glory of the father and of the holy angels.
27 A melel I indai ong komail, akai irail, me mi met, sota pan mela, irail lao udial wein Kot.
Indeed, I tell you, some who are standing before me will not know death, till they have seen the Kingdom of God.”
28 A kadekadeo murin pong walu pong murin masan pukat i ap ukada Petrus, o Ioanes, o Iakopus kotidala pon nana o pwen laolao.
About eight days after speaking these words, Jesus went up the mountain to pray, taking with him Peter, John, and James.
29 A ni a kotin laolao mom en silang i ap wukila o sapwilim a likau puetepuetela o lingaling.
As he was praying, the aspect of his face was changed, and his clothing became of a glittering whiteness.
30 A kilang, ol riamen iang i masan pena! Ira me Moses o Elias.
And all at once two men were talking with Jesus; they were Moses and Elijah,
31 Ira pwarado ni ara lingan o mamasani duen a pan kamatala nan Ierusalem.
who appeared in a glorified state, and spoke of his departure, which was destined to take place at Jerusalem.
32 A Petrus o me iang i me toutouki mair. Ira lao pirida, re ap udial a lingan o ol riamen kotikot impa.
Peter and his companions had been overpowered by sleep but, suddenly becoming wide awake, they saw Jesus glorified and the two men who were standing beside him.
33 Kadekadeo ira lao kotiwei sang re a, Petrus ap indang Iesus: Maing, meid mau atail kotikot met. Kit en kauada kisin im silikis: Tanpas ar, o en Moses, o en Elias; a sasa me a kasokasoi.
And, as Moses and Elijah were passing away from Jesus, Peter exclaimed: “Sir, it is good to be here; let us make three tents, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He did not know what he was saying;
34 Ni a kasokasoi mepukat, pali en dapok kadupal irail edi, irail ari masakadar ni ar tilong nan dapok o.
and, while he was speaking, a cloud came down and enveloped them; and they were afraid, as they passed into the cloud;
35 O ngil eu peidido sang nan dapok o masani: Iet nai ol kompok, komail en rong i!
and from the cloud came a voice which said — “This is my Son, the Chosen One; him you must hear.”
36 A ngil wet lao wiauier, re ap diaradar Iesus ta. Ir ari nenenlata; o ni ran oko re sota kaireki meamen duen me re kilanger.
And, as the voice ceased, Jesus was found alone. The Apostles kept silence, and told no one about any of the things that they had seen.
37 A kadekadeo manda en ran o irail lao kotidido sang nana o, pokon kalaimun ap poto dong i,
The next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met Jesus.
38 A kilang, ol amen nan pokon o ngil laudeda potoan ong: Saunpadak, i poeki re ir, re kotin masani dong ai tungol putak o, pwe iei ai ieros.
And just then a man in the crowd shouted out: “Teacher, I entreat you to look at my son, for he is my only child;
39 Re kotin mangi, ngen o lao koledi i, a kin madang weriwer, a kin senseroki sili, a ap kin pudopud o meid apwal ni a kin koiei sang i.
all at once a spirit will seize him, suddenly shriek out, and throw him into convulsions till he foams, and will leave him only when he is utterly exhausted.
40 Ngai ari poeki ren sapwilim ar tounpadak kan, ren kause wei sang i, a re sota kak.
I entreated your disciples to drive the spirit out, but they could not.”
41 A Iesus kotin sapeng masani: O di wet meid soposon o sapung, ia arain ai pan mimi re omail? Ia arain ai pan kokoa komail? Wa dong ia noum putak!
“O faithless and perverse generation!” Jesus exclaimed; “how long must I be with you and have patience with you? Lead your son here.”
42 A ni a kokodo, tewil ap kapururada o seroki sili i, a Iesus kotin kidaueda ngen saut o, o kakelada putak o, ap kapure ong i ren sam a.
While the boy was coming up to Jesus, the demon dashed him down and threw him into convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 A irail karos puriamuiki manaman en Kot. A ni ar puriamuiki en Iesus a wiawia kan ap kotin masani ong sapwilim a tounpadak kan:
And all present were struck with awe at the majesty of God. In the midst of the general astonishment at all that Jesus was doing, he said to his disciples:
44 Masan pukat en kaloledi nan salong omail: Nain aramas pan pangala ni pa en aramas.
“Listen carefully to my words. For the Son of Man is destined to be betrayed into the hands of his fellow men.”
45 A irail sota weweki masan wet, pwe a rir sang irail, i me irail sasaki. Irail ari masak kalelapok re a duen masan pot et.
But the disciples did not understand the meaning of this; it had been concealed from them so that they did not see it, and they were afraid to question him as to what he meant.
46 Irail ap pil lamelame, is me pan lapalap re’rail?
A discussion arose among the disciples as to which of them was the greatest;
47 A Iesus lao kotin mangi ar lamelam nan mongiong arail, ap ale seri men, kida impa a,
and Jesus, knowing of the discussion that was occupying their thoughts, took hold of a little child, and placed it beside him,
48 O masani ong irail: Meamen pan apwali kisin seri men et ni ad ai, nan a kin apwali ia, a meamen pan apwali ia, nan a kin apwali, me kadar ia do; a me tikitik re omail, nan i me pan lapalapala.
and then said to them: “Any one who, for the sake of my Name, welcomes even this little child is welcoming me; and any one who welcomes me is welcoming him who sent me as his Messenger. For whoever is lowliest among you all — that man is great.”
49 Ioanes ap sapeng potoan ong: Maing, se kilanger amen, me kausewei tewil akan ni mar ar. Kit ari inapwiedi, pwe a sota kin iang kit idedauen ir.
Thereupon John said: “Sir, we saw a man driving out demons by using your name, and we tried to prevent him, because he does not follow you with us.”
50 A Iesus kotin masani ong i: Eder inapiedi, pwe me so kin palian komail, nan a kin iang komail.
“None of you must prevent him,” Jesus said to John; “he who is not against you is for you.”
51 A kadekadeo a lao ansau, me a pan peukadala, a ap kotin saupeilang kotilang inen wong Ierusalem.
As the days before his being taken up to Heaven were growing few, Jesus set his face resolutely in the direction of Jerusalem; and he sent on messengers in advance.
52 A kotin poronela men kadar akan, me pan tiong mo a. Irail ari kokola lele dong kisin kanim en Samaria eu, pwen rapaki wasa, me a pan pweiokidi ia.
On their way, they went into a Samaritan village to make preparations for him,
53 A re sota kasamo i aki a kotin saupeila kotilang inen wong Ierusalem.
but the people there did not welcome him, because his face was set in the direction of Jerusalem.
54 Sapwilim a tounpadak kan Iakopus o Ioanes lao kilanger mepukat, ap potoan ong: Maing, ma re kotin kupura, se pan poeki, kisiniai en moredi sang nanlang, kang irail la, duen Elias wiadar.
When James and John saw this, they said: “Master, do you wish us to call for fire to come down from the heavens and consume them?”
55 A i kotin saupeido, kapung ong ira masani: Koma sota asa is Ngen, me naina kin koma?
But Jesus turned and rebuked them.
56 Irail ap daulul wei nan eu kisin kanim.
And they made their way to another village.
57 Kadekadeo ni arail kotikot kokodo amen ap potoan ong i: Maing i pan idedauen ir wasa karos me re pan kotila ia.
And, while they were on their way, a man said to Jesus: “I will follow you wherever you go.”
58 Iesus kotin masani ong i: Poks akan por ar mia, o manpir en pan lang pas ar mia, a Nain aramas sota wasa en kaula wei mong a.
“Foxes have holes,” he replied, “and wild birds their roosting-places, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”
59 A kotin masani ong amen: Idauen ia do! A i indada: Maing, komui kotin mueid ong ia mas, i en purela sarepedi sam ai.
To another man Jesus said: “Follow me.” “Let me first go and bury my father,” said the man.
60 A Iesus kotin masani ong i: Me melar akan en sarepedi ar melar akan, a koe kowei kalok sili wein Kot!
But Jesus said: “Leave the dead to bury their dead; but go yourself and carry far and wide the news of the Kingdom of God.”
61 Pil amen potoan: Maing, i pan idedauen ir sili, a re kotin mueid ong ia mas, i en kamurimuri ong toun im ai.
“Master,” said another, “I will follow you; but first let me say good-bye to my family.”
62 A Iesus kotin masani ong i: Sota me pan koledi men weirada pwel, ap kilang muri, a sota koiok ong wein Kot.
But Jesus answered: “No one who looks back, after putting his hand to the plough, is fitted for the Kingdom of God.”
