Luke 11
1 Once Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples asked him, “Lord, please teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
KADEKADEO ni a kotikot wasa kis pwen laolao, a lao kotin erelar, amen sapwilim a tounpadak kan ap potoan ong i: Maing re kotin padaki ong kit kapakap, dueta Ioanes kin padaki ong a tounpadak kan.
2 Jesus told them, “When you pray, say, ‘Father, let your name be honored as holy. May your kingdom come.
A ap kotin masani ong irail: Komail lao wia kapakap, ap inda: Sam at, mar omui en saraui, wei’mui en pwaida,
3 Give us every day the food we need.
Kotikido ran wet at tungol kaukaule.
4 Forgive us our sins, just as we forgive everyone who sins against us. Keep us from temptation.’”
Lapwa sang kit dip at, dueta kit, me kin lapwada karos, me wia dipi ong kit, eder kaluang kit ren me katikatiamau kan.
5 Jesus went on to tell them, “Say you have a friend and you go to him in the middle of the night and ask, ‘My friend, lend me three loaves of bread
I ap kotin masani ong irail: Is re omail, me a kompok amen mia o me pan kola re a ni ailep en pong indang i: Kompoke pai, ki ong ia lopon prot silu,
6 because a friend of mine has come to visit me, and I don't have any food to give him.’
Pwe kompoke pai men pwarado sang a sailok o, ap sota, me i pan kak ki ong i.
7 Your friend in the house might reply, ‘Don't bother me—I've already locked the door, and I and my children have gone to bed. I can't get up to give you anything now.’
A me mi nan im o pan sapeng inda: Koe der kadiropa ia, pwe wanim ritidier, o nai seri ko iang ia nan wasan mair; i so kak paurida o ki ong uk meakot.
8 I tell you, even though he refuses to get up and give you anything, despite you being his friend, if you are persistent, your friend will get up and give you everything you need.
I indai ong komail, ma a sota pan paurida o ki ong i aki kompokepa a, nan a pan paurida o ki ong, me itar ong i aki a ngidingid.
9 I tell you: ask, and you shall receive; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.
I indai ong komail, poeki, a komail pan tungole; rapaki, a komail pan diarada; letelet, a a pan ritida mo’mail.
10 For everyone who asks, receives; and everyone who seeks, finds; and to everyone who knocks the door will be opened.
Pwe karos me poekipoeki, kin tungole; o me kin rapaki, kin diarada; o me kin letelet, nan a pan ritida mo a.
11 Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, would give him a snake instead?
De is sam amen nan pung omail, ma na putak pan poeki na kisin prot, pan ki ong i takai eu? De ma a poeki mam, pan ki ong i serpent amen?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, would you give him a scorpion?
De ma a pan poeki kitor eu, pan ki ong i skorpion amen?
13 So if you, even though you are evil, still know to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
Ma komail, me song sued, asa duen kisakis mau ong noumail seri kan, nan melel kaualap. Sam omail nanlang pan ki ong Ngen saraui ren me poeki re a.
14 Jesus was driving out a demon that had made a man dumb. When the demon had left, the man who was dumb spoke, and the crowds were amazed.
A ap kotin kause wei tewil amen, me lotong. A kadekadeo tewil lao koiei sanger, me lotong o ap lokelokaia, a aramas puriamuiki.
15 But some of them said, “He is driving out demons using the power of Beelzebub, the ruler of demons.”
A akai ir katitiki: Nan Peelsepup, saumas en tewil akan, me a kauseki sang tewil akan.
16 Others were trying to test Jesus by demanding a miraculous sign from heaven.
A akai kasongesong i, poekipoeki kilel eu sang nanlang.
17 Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Any kingdom divided against itself will be destroyed. A family divided against itself will fall.
A ap kotin angi ar lamelam, masani ong irail: Wei karos ma a pan u pena nan pung a, a pan ola; o ma toun im eu pan u pena nan pung a, a sota pan pwaida.
18 If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? You say that I cast out demons using the power of Beelzebub.
A iaduen, ma Satan u ong pein i, a wei pan kak pwaida? Aki komail indinda me dene ngai kause wei tewil akan ki Peelsepup.
19 But if I drive out demons by the power of Beelzebub, by whose power do your own people drive them out? They themselves will condemn you as wrong!
Ma I kin kauseki wei Peelsepup tewil akan, a is me noumail ol akan kin kause kin irail? Irail ari pan omail saunkapung.
20 However, if I am driving out demons by the power of God, then this proves God's kingdom has arrived. It's right here among you!
A ma I kauseki wei lim en Kot tewil akan, nan wein Kot lel ong komail er.
21 When a strong man who is fully armed guards his house, all he owns is safe.
Ma me kelail o, me audeki kapwa en pei, pan sinsila im a, nan a kapwa nekinekid mau.
22 But if a stronger man comes and defeats him, taking from him all his weapons that he depended on, then he can carry off all his possessions.
A ma amen, me kelail sang i, pan palian i o kaloedi i, ap pan atia sang a kapwa en pei, me a kelekier, o nek pasang kapwa en kul.
23 Anyone who is not with me is against me, and anyone who doesn't build together with me is breaking it all apart.
Meamen, me sota iang ia, iei me palian ia, o me sota kin dolung penang ia, iei me kin kasapoka pasang.
24 When an evil spirit leaves someone, it goes through the desert looking for a place to stay. When it doesn't find anywhere, it says, ‘I'll return to the house I left.’
Ngen saut lao kowei sang ren aramas, a kin tangatang sili nan sap tan akan, rapaki wasan kamol, a sota, me a diarada, i ap kin inda: I ap pan purelong ong nan im ai, me i pedoi sanger.
25 When it returns, it finds its old home is swept and tidy.
A lao puredo, a diar, me a kokok o kapwater,
26 So it goes and finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there. In the end that man is worse off than before.”
I ari koieila, ale ong i ngen isimen, me sued sang pein i. Irail ap pedelong ong lole, rap kakauson ia; a aramas pan sued sang mas.
27 As he was speaking, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the womb from where you came and the breasts that nursed you.”
A kadekadeo ni a kotin mamasani mepukat, li amen, kisan pokon o, ap potoan ong i: Meid pai kupur o, me wia ir adar, o didi kan, me re kotiki!
28 But Jesus said, “Even more blessed are those who hear God's word, and follow what it says.”
A i kotin masani: Ei, meid pai, me kin rong masan en Kot ap kapwaiada.
29 As people crowded around him, Jesus began telling them, “This is an evil generation for it's looking for some miraculous sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.
A pokon o lao tengeteng pena, a kotin masani: Di wet meid sued! Re kin rapaki kilel eu, a sota kilel pan sansal ong ir, pwe kilel en Iona eta.
30 In the same way that Jonah was a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of man be a sign to this generation.
Pwe duen Iona kilel eu ong men Niniwe, iduen Nain aramas ong di wet.
31 The queen of the south will rise in the judgment together with the people of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear Solomon's wisdom, and now there is someone greater than Solomon here!
Li nanmarki en pali air amen pan u ong ol akan en di wet ni kadeik o pan kari ir ala, pwe a pwrarado sang ni imwin sappa, pwen rong lolekong en Salomo. A kilang, me laude sang Salomo mi met.
32 The people of Nineveh rise in the judgment together with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented when they heard Jonah's message, and now there's someone greater than Jonah here!
Ol en Niniwe kan pan u ong di wet ni kadeik, o pan kariala i, pwe re kalula ni ar rongadar padak en Iona. A kilang, me laude sang Iona mi met.
33 No one lights a lamp and then hides it or places it under a bowl. No, you put it on a lamp stand so that those who come into the house can see the light.
Sota me kin isikeda lamp, ap kila wasa rir, pil so pan kopa, a pon deu a, pwe me pan pedelong ong, en kilang marain o.
34 Your eye is the light for your body. When your eye is good, your whole body is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body is in the dark.
Por en mas marain en pali war. Ma mas om makelekel, war om karos pan dir en marain. A ma mas om me sued, war om karos me pil dir en rotorot.
35 So make sure the light you have in you is not actually darkness.
En kalaka, pwe marain mi lol om, der rotorot!
36 If your whole body is full of light, with no areas of darkness, then it will be completely illuminated, just as a bright lamp gives you light.”
Ma war om dir en marain kaualap, o sota kisan rotorot mia, karos pan dir en marain dueta lingan en lamp, me kin sensere uk ada.
37 After Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to come and eat with him. So Jesus went and sat down to a meal.
A ni a kotin kaparok, Parisär amen luke i, en konot re a. I ari kotilong kotidi nin tepel.
38 The Pharisee was surprised that Jesus didn't wash his hands before eating as ceremonially required.
A Parisär lao udial, ap puriamuiki, me a sota kotin omiom mon konot.
39 So the Lord told him, “You Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you're full of greed and wickedness.
A Kaun o kotin masani ong i: Nan komail Parisär akan kin widen likin dal o plet, a lol omail me dir en me re kuliada o me sued.
40 You're so foolish! Don't you think the one who made the outside made the inside as well?
Nan pweipwei komail, kaidin i me wiadar pali liki, pil wiadar pali lole?
41 If, acting from within, you do acts of kindness to others, then everything will be clean to you.
A kisakis weita duen komail kak ong! A kilang, karos pan makelekel ong komail.
42 Shame on you Pharisees! You pay tithe on herbs and plants, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You need to pay attention to the latter, while not leaving the former things undone.
Suedi ong komail Parisär akan, pwe komail, kin mairongki eisokkis eu en minse, o raute o song en kisin tan tuka kai, ap sota insenoki kadeik o limpok en Kot! Wiada mepukat ap pil kapwaiada me tei kan.
43 Shame on you Pharisees! You love to have the best seats in the synagogues, and to be greeted with respect when you go to the markets.
Suedi ong komail Parisär akan, pwe komail men mondi leppantam nan sinakoke kan o mauki, ren ranamau ong komail nan wasa en netinet akan.
44 Shame on you! You are like unmarked graves that people walk over without knowing.”
Suedi ong komail, pwe komail rasong sousou kan, me so sansal, o aramas alialu poa, ap sasa ir!
45 One of the experts in religious law reacted, saying, “Teacher, when you talk like this, you're insulting us too!”
Saunkawewe men ap sapeng potoan ong i: Saunpadak, komui pil kin suede kin kit masan pukat.
46 Jesus replied, “Shame on you lawyers too! You place burdens on people that are too hard to carry, but you don't lift a finger to help them.
A i kotin masani: Pil suedi ong komail saunkawewe! Pwe komail kin katoutou kila kapwa en wisik toutou aramas akan, ap sota sairki sondin pa omail.
47 Shame on you! You build memorial tombs to honor the prophets, but it was your own fathers who killed them in the first place!
Suedi ong komail! Pwe komail kin apapwali sousou en saukop akan, a sam omail akan kame ir ala.
48 By doing this you are witnesses showing that you agree with what your fathers did. They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs!
Komail ari kin kadede o peren kida wiawia en sam omail akan. Pwe re kame ir ala, a komail apapwali ar sousou kan.
49 This is why God in his wisdom said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some they will kill, and others they will persecute.’
I me erpit en Kot indada: I pan kadar wong irail saukop o wanporon akan, a akai irail re pan kamela o pwaki irail sili.
50 Consequently, this generation will be held accountable for the blood of all the prophets shed from the beginning of the world,
Pwe ntan saukop akan, me kapwilipwili weier sang ni tapin kaua kokodo, en kapokon ong di wet.
51 from the blood of Abel right up to the blood of Zachariah who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held accountable for all of it.
Sang ntan Apel lel ntan Sakarias, me kamelar nan pung en pei saraui o im en kaudok, ei I indai ong komail, a pan kapokon ong di wet.
52 Shame on you lawyers! You have removed the key of knowledge. You didn't go in yourselves, and you prevented others from going in too.”
Suedi ong komail saunkawewe! Pwe komail atia sang men kapir pan lolekong. Komail sota pan pedelong, ap inapwiedi, me men pedelon ong.
53 As Jesus was leaving, the religious teachers and the Pharisees began to attack him aggressively, asking questions to provoke him.
A ni a kotin mamasani ong irail mepukat, saunkawewe o Parisär akan ap tapiada palian i kaualap, kalekalelapok re a song toto,
54 They were hoping to catch him out, trying to get him to say something they could use against him.
O re masamasan i, o raparapaki, ma re sota kak diar meakot sang ni a masan akan, pwe ren kadipa i.
