Matthew 12
1 Around that time Jesus was walking through fields of grain on the Sabbath day. His disciples were hungry so they started to pick ears of grain and eat them.
I ANSAU o Iesus kotila nan mat en korn ni ran en sapat, a sapwelim a tounpadak kan men mangadar, rap dolunga sang wan korn o kangkang.
2 When the Pharisees saw this they said to Jesus, “Look at your disciples—they're doing what isn't allowed on the Sabbath!”
Parisär lau kilanger mepwukat, rap patoan ong i: Masani, sapwilim omui tounpadak kan kin wiada, me sota pung, en wiaui ni ran en sapat.
3 But Jesus told them, “Haven't you read what David did when he and his men were hungry?
A kotin masani ong irail: Komail sota doropwe, me Dawid wiadar ni a o iang akan men mangadar?
4 He went into the house of God, and he and his men ate the sacred bread that they weren't allowed to eat since it's only for the priests.
Duen a pedelong ong nan im en Kot o kangkang prot en kasansal, me sota pung, i o iang akan en kang, pwe samero akan eta.
5 Haven't you read in the law that on the Sabbath day the priests in the Temple break the Sabbath but are not considered guilty?
De komail sota wadoker nan kapung o, duen samero akan ar kin kaupali ran en sapat nan im en kaudok ni ran en sapat, ap sota dip arail?
6 However, I tell you that someone is here who is greater than the Temple!
A I indai ong komail, i, me laude sang im en kaudok, mi wasa kis et.
7 If you'd known the meaning of this Scripture, ‘I want mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn't have condemned an innocent man.
A ma komail pan asa wewen kasoi pot et: I kin polauleki kadek a kaidin mairong isis, komail sota pan kadeikada me makelekel akan.
8 For the Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
Pwe nain aramas pil udan Kaun en sapat.
9 Then Jesus left and went into their synagogue.
A kotila sang wasa o, ap kotilong ong nan ar sinakoke.
10 A man was there with a crippled hand. “Does the law allow healing on the Sabbath?” they asked him, looking for a reason to accuse him.
A kilang, aramas amen mia, me pa a motorlar. Irail idok re a indada: Me pung, en kakelailada ni ran en sapat? Pwe ren kadipa i.
11 “Suppose you have a sheep and it falls into a hole in the ground on the Sabbath. Don't you grab hold of it and pull it out?” Jesus asked them.
I ari kotin masani ong irail: Is aramas nan pung omail, me na sip amen mia, ma a pupedi ong nan por ni ran en sapat, a so pan poridi ong, kida sang?
12 “Don't you think a human being is worth much more than a sheep? So yes, you are allowed to do good on the Sabbath.”
A iaduen aramas amen sota kasampwal kaualap sang sip amen? I me aramas amen kak wia kida me mau ni ran en sapat.
13 Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man held out his hand, and it was healed, just as healthy as the other hand.
I ap kotin masani ong aramas o: Kapa wei pa om! I ari kapa wei, ap maular dueta pali teio.
14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how to kill Jesus.
Parisär ap pedoi sang o kapukapung pena, duen ar pan kamatala i.
15 Knowing this, Jesus left, with large crowds following him. He healed all of them,
Iesus lao mangi met, ap kotila sang wasa o, a pokon kalaimun idauenla i; i ari kakelailadar irail karos.
16 but instructed them not to tell people who he was.
O masani ong irail, ren der kalok sili i.
17 This fulfilled what Isaiah the prophet said:
Pwen pwaida, me lokido ren saukop Iesaia, me masani:
18 “This is my servant whom I've chosen, The one I love, who pleases me. I will put my Spirit on him, And he will tell the foreigners what's right.
Kilang, i ai ladu, me I piladar, o kompokepa i, me I kin polaule kida. I pan aude kin i Ngen i, o a pan kasale ong men liki kan duen kadeik o.
19 He won't argue, he won't shout out, And nobody will hear his voice in the streets.
Nan a sota pan akamai de weriwer, o sota amen me pan rong ngil a pon al akan,
20 He won't break a damaged reed, And he won't extinguish a smoking wick, Until he has proved that his judgment is right,
A sota pan katip pasang alek luet o, o a sota pan kakundi wik inkingkong o, lao a pan kaimwisokala kadeik o.
21 And foreigners will put their hope in him.”
O men liki kan pan kaporoporeki mar a.
22 Then a man was brought to Jesus who was demon-possessed and blind and dumb. Jesus healed him, so that the dumb man could speak and see.
Me tewil ti poa men, me maskun o lotong ap wisike dong i; i ari kakelailada i, a me maskun o lotong ap lokaia o kilang wasa.
23 All the crowds were amazed, and asked, “Could this really be the son of David?”
Aramas karos ap malamalauak kila indada: Kaidin i sapwilim en Dawid?
24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they replied, “This man can only throw out demons through the power of Beelzebub, the chief of demons!”
A Parisär akan lao rongadar, rap indada: Nan sota, me lap en kauseki wei tewil akan, Peelse pup eta, saumas en tewil akan.
25 Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus told them, “Any kingdom that is divided against itself will be destroyed. No town or household that is divided against itself can stand.
I ari angi ar lamelam masani ong irail: Wei karos, ma tou a kan pan u pena nan pung ar, a pan ola, o ma toun kanim de toun im eu pan u pena nan pung ar, a sota pan pwaida.
26 If Satan drives out Satan, then he's divided against himself—so how could his kingdom stand?
O ma Satan pan kause wei Satan, a pan u ong pein i, a iaduen a wei pan kak pwaida?
27 If I'm throwing out demons in the name of Beelzebub, in whose name are your people throwing out demons? Your own people prove you're wrong!
Ma I kin kauseki wei Peelsepup tewil akan, a is me noumail seri kang kin kause kin irail? Irail ari pan omail saunkapung.
28 But if I'm throwing out demons through the power of the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you!
A ma I kausaki wei Ngen en Kot tewil akan, nan wein Kot lel ong komail er.
29 Can you enter a strong man's house and take his belongings unless you tie him up first? If you do that then you can take everything in his house.
De iaduen, is me pan kak kolong ong nan im en me kelail amen, kulia sang a kapwa, ma a so saliedi mas me kelail o? A ap pan kak kulia sang a kapwa.
30 Those who are not with me are against me, and those who do not gather together with me do the opposite: they are scattering.
Meamen me sota iang ia, iei me palian ia; o me sota kin dolung penang ia, iei me kin kasapoka pasang.
31 That's why I'm telling you that every sin and blasphemy you commit will be forgiven, except blasphemy against the Spirit which won't be forgiven.
I me Ngai indai ong komail, dip karos o lalaue pan kak lapwa sang aramas, a lalaue ong Ngen sota pan lapwa sang aramas.
32 Those who say something against the Son of man will be forgiven, but those who say something against the Holy Spirit won't be forgiven, neither in this life nor the next. (aiōn g165)
O me pan lalaue Nain aramas, a pan lapwa sang i; a me pan lalaue Ngen saraui, a sota pan lapwa sang i, sota nan muei met pil sota nan muei kokodo. (aiōn g165)
33 Either decide that the tree is good, and its fruit is good, or decide that the tree is bad and its fruit is bad—for the tree is known by its fruit.
Padukedi tuka mau pot, a wa pan mau; de padukedi tuka sued apot, a wa pan sued. Pwe tuka kin diarok kida wa.
34 You viper's brood, how can you who are evil say anything good? For your mouth simply says what your mind is busy thinking about.
Wan serpent komail, iaduen komail kak lokaia mau, pwe komail me sued? Pwe aua kin lokaia sang nan audepan mongiong o.
35 A good person brings out good from their store of good things, and an evil person brings out evil from their store of evil things.
Aramas mau kin kida me mau sang nan pai mau en mongiong i, a aramas sued kin kida me sued sang nan pai sued en mongiong i.
36 I tell you, people will have to account for every careless thing they say on the Day of Judgment.
A I indai ong komail, lokaia mal karos, me aramas inda, pan puk ong ir ni ran en kadeik o.
37 For what you say will either vindicate you or condemn you.”
Pwe sang ni om kasokasoi koe pan kapung kila, o sang ni om kasokasoi koe pan pakadeikada.
38 Then some of the religious teachers and Pharisees came to him and said, “Teacher, we want you to show us a miraculous sign.”
Saunkawewe o Parisär kai ap sapeng i indada: Saunpadak, se men kilang kilel eu sang re omui
39 “Evil people who don't trust in God are the ones who look for a miraculous sign. The only sign they will be given is the sign of the prophet Jonah,” Jesus told them.
A i me kotin sapeng masani ong irail: Di sued o kamal o kin rapaki kilel eu, a sota kilel eu, me pan sansal ong irail, pwe kilel en saukop Iona eta.
40 “In the same way Jonah was in the belly of a huge fish for three days and three nights, the Son of man will lie in the earth for three days and three nights.
Pwe duen Iona a mimi nan kaped en mam kalaimun amen ran silu o pong sili pong, iduen Nain aramas pan mimi nan mongiong en sappa ran silu o pong sili pong.
41 The people of Nineveh will rise in the judgment together with this generation and they will condemn it because they repented in response to Jonah's message—and as you see, there's someone greater than Jonah here!
Ol en Niniwe kan pan u ong di wet ni kadeik lapalap o pan kadeikada, pwe re kalula ni ar rongadar padak en Iona, a kilang, me laude sang Iona mi met.
42 The Queen of the South will be raised in the judgment together with this generation and will condemn it because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon—and as you see, there's someone greater than Solomon here!
Li nanmarki en pali air amen pan u ong di wet ni kadeik lapalap o pan kadeikada; pwe a pwurado sang ni imwin sappa, pwen rong lolekong en Salomo. A kilang me laude sang Salomo mi met.
43 When an evil spirit leaves someone, it wanders through deserted places looking for rest, and finds nowhere to stay.
Ngen saut lao kowei sang ren aramas o, a kin tangatang sili nan sap tan akan, rapaki wasan kamol, a sota, me a diarada.
44 So it says, ‘I'll go back to the place I left,’ and when it returns it finds the place empty, all clean and tidy.
I ap kin inda: I pan purelong nan im ai, me i pedoi sanger. A lao puredo, a diar me a tan, kokok, o kapwater.
45 Then it goes and brings back seven other spirits even more evil than it is, and it enters and lives there. So the person ends up worse than they were at the beginning. That's the way it will be with this evil generation.”
I ari mi koieila, ale ong i ngen isimen, me sued sang pein i; irail lao pedelong ong lole, rap kaukauson ia, a aramas pan sued sang mas. Iduen a pan wiaui ong di sued wet.
46 While he was speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers arrived and stood outside, wanting to talk to him.
A ni a kotin masani ong pokon o mepukat, kilang, in a o ri a ol akan u liki, re men lokaia ong i.
47 Someone came and told him, “Look, your mother and brothers are outside, wanting to talk to you.”
Amen ap potoan ong i: Re kotin mangi, in ar o ri ar ol akan mimi liki o men lokaia ong ir.
48 “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” Jesus asked.
A a kotin sapeng masani ong, me kaireki ong i: Is in ai o is ri ai ol akan?
49 He pointed at his disciples, and said, “Look, they are my mother and my brothers!
Ap kotin kapawei lim a pon sapwilim a tounpadak kan masani: Kilang, in ai o ri ai ol pukat!
50 For those who do the will of my heavenly Father, they are my brother, sister, and mother!”
Pwe meamen, me kin wia kupur en Sam ai, me kotikot nanlang, nan i me ri ai ol, o ri ai li, o in ai.
