Matthew 19
1 Adudagi Jisuna hiramsing asi tambiba loirabada, Galilee thadoktuna Jordan turen-gi wangmada leiba Judea-gi lamda laklammi.
At the conclusion of this teaching, Jesus withdrew from Galilee, and went into that district of Judea which is on the other side of the Jordan.
2 Aduga yamlaba miyam amana Ibungogi tung injarammi, amasung mapham aduda Ibungona makhoigi anabasing adu phahanbirammi.
Great crowds followed him, and he cured them there.
3 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?”
Presently some Pharisees came up to him, and, to test him, said, ‘Has a man the right to divorce his wife for every cause?’
4 Jisuna makhoida khumlak-i, “Nakhoina Mapugi puyada hairibasing asi padabra? Ahoubadagi houna sembiba Mapuna makhoibu nupa amadi nupi haina sembikhi,
‘Haven’t you read,’ replied Jesus, ‘that at the beginning the Creator “made them male and female,”
5 amasung mahakna haikhi, ‘Maram asina nupa amana mahakki mama mapabu thadoktuna magi nupida punsin-gani aduga makhoi ani hakchang amata oigani.’
and said – “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother, and be united to his wife, and the man and his wife will become one”?
6 Adunadi makhoi amuk hanna ani oidre, amata oire. Maram aduna Tengban Mapuna punsinbikhraba adu mi kana amatana khaidoktasanu.”
So that they are no longer two, but one. What God himself, then, has yoked together people must not separate.’
7 Maduda makhoina Ibungoda hairak-i, “Adu oirabadi, nupa amana mahakki nupibu khainabada khaina-che ama piyu haina Moses-na yathang piramliba adu karigino?”
‘Why, then,’ they said, ‘did Moses direct that a man should serve his wife with a notice of separation and divorce her?’
8 Jisuna makhoida khumlak-i, “Nakhoigi thamoi kanbagi maramna Moses-na nakhoida nupi khainaba yarambani, adubu ahoubadadi matou asumna touramba natte.
‘Moses, owing to the hardness of your hearts,’ answered Jesus, ‘permitted you to divorce your wives, but that was not so at the beginning.
9 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.”
But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of some serious sexual sin, and marries another woman, is guilty of adultery.’
10 Maduda Ibungogi tung-inbasing aduna Ibungoda hairak-i, “Nupa amaga, magi nupigagi marakta asumna mari leinarabadi luhongdabana henna phei.”
‘If that,’ said the disciples, ‘is the position of a man with regard to his wife, it is better not to marry.’
11 Aduga Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Wa asi mi khudingmakna lousinba ngamde, adubu Tengban Mapuna madubu pibiba makhoikhaktana lousinba ngammi.
‘It is not everyone,’ replied Jesus, ‘who can accept this teaching, but only those who have been enabled to do so.
12 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.”
Some men are incapable of marriage because they were born that way, or have been made so by other people, while there are others who stay single for the sake of the kingdom of Heaven. Accept this if you can.’
13 Nongma mi kharana makhoigi apikpa angangsingbu Jisuda khut thamhanduna makhoigidamak haijahannabagidamak puraklammi. Adubu Ibungogi tung-inbasingna makhoibu cheirammi.
Then some little children were brought to Jesus, for him to place his hands on them, and pray; but the disciples found fault with those who had brought them.
14 Maduda Jisuna hairak-i, “Apikpa angangsingdu eigi nakta lakchasanu, makhoibu thingganu, maramdi swarga leibak adu makhoi asigumbasingga manaba mising adugini.”
Jesus, however, said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for it is to the childlike that the kingdom of heaven belongs.’
15 Aduga Ibungona makhoigi mathakta khut thambiraba matungda mapham adudagi chatkhre.
So he placed his hands on them, and then went on his way.
16 Nongma nupa amana Jisugi nakta laktuna asumna hangjarammi, “Aphaba Oja Ibungo, lomba naidaba hingba phangnanaba eina kari aphaba thabak toujagadage?” (aiōnios g166)
A man came up to Jesus, and said, ‘Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?’ (aiōnios g166)
17 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.”
‘Why ask me about goodness?’ answered Jesus. ‘There is but One who is good. If you want to enter the life, keep the commandments.’
18 Nupa aduna hairak-i, “Karamba yathangno?” Maduda Jisuna khumlak-i, “Nahakna mi hatkanu, nahakna mitu-miwa lanaganu, nahakna huran-ganu, nahakna aranba sakhi piganu.
‘What commandments?’ asked the man. ‘These,’ answered Jesus, – ‘“You must not kill. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not say what is false about others.
19 Nama napabu ikai khumnou, amasung nahakki yumlon keironnabasingbu nasamakkumna nungsiyu.”
Honour your father and your mother.” And “You must love your neighbour as you love yourself.”’
20 Maduda naha aduna Ibungoda hairak-i, “Eina angang oiringeidagi houna hairiba yathang pumnamaksing asi ngakcharak-i; houjik eina tougadaba kari ama amuk watlibage?”
‘I have observed all these,’ said the young man. ‘What is still wanting in me?’
21 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.”
‘If you wish to be perfect,’ answered Jesus, ‘go and sell your property, and give to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; then come and follow me.’
22 Adubu naha aduna wasing asi tabada, pukning wana chatkhirammi; maramdi mahak maral-mathum yamna leiba mi oirammi.
On hearing these words, the young man went away distressed, for he had great possessions.
23 Adudagi Jisuna mahakki tung-inbasing aduda hairak-i, “Eina nakhoida tasengnamak hairibasini, inakkhunba mina swarga leibakta changba yamna lui.
At this, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘I tell you that a rich person will find it hard to enter the kingdom of heaven!
24 Eina nakhoida amuk hanna hairi, madudi inakkhunba mi amana Tengban Mapugi leibakta changbabudi, ut amana yetum manada litpana henna lai.”
I say again, it is easier for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven!’
25 Ibungogi tung-inbasing aduna wapham adu tabada yamna ngakladuna Ibungoda hangjarak-i, “Adu oirabadi kanana kanbiba phangba ngamgadage?”
On hearing this, the disciples exclaimed in great astonishment, ‘Who then can possibly be saved?’
26 Jisuna makhoida yengladuna hairak-i, “Mioibagi maphamdadi masi oithoktabani, adubu Tengban Mapugi maphamdadi pumnamak oithokpa ngaktani.”
But Jesus looked at them, and said, ‘With people this is impossible, but with God everything is possible.’ Then Peter turned and said to Jesus,
27 Adudagi Peter-na Ibungoda hairak-i, “Yengbiyu, eikhoina pumnamak thadoktuna Ibungogi tung injare. Adu oirabadi eikhoina kari phangjagani?”
‘But we – we left everything, and followed you; what, then, will we have?’
28 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.
‘I tell you,’ answered Jesus, ‘that at the new creation, when the Son of Man takes his seat on his throne of glory, you who followed me will be seated on twelve thrones, as judges of the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 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 g166)
Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or land, for my sake, will receive many times as much, and will gain eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Adubu ahanba oiriba kayana akonba oigani, aduga akonba oiriba kayana ahanba oigani.”
But many who are first now will then be last, and those who are last will be first.
