Luke 10
1 After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
MURIN mepukat Kaun o pil kotin piladar ijiakan o porone irail wei mo a ni wad riamen, en kakan jili nan kanim laud o tikitik kan, waja me a pein pan kotilan ia.
2 He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
A kotin majani on irail: Rak me kalaimun, a toun dodok me malaulau; poeki ren Kaun en rak, en kadarala toun dodok nan a rak.
3 Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
Komail kola; kilan, I kadar komail la dueta jippul akan nan pun en kidi en wei akan.
4 Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
Komail der wewa ed en moni, de ed en jailok, de jut, o der ranamau on meamen nani al o.
5 Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
A ma komail pan pedelon on nan im eu, komail pan inda maj: Popol en mimi nan im wet!
6 If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
A ma popol amen mi waja o, omail popol pan mimieta re a, a ma jo, omail popol pan pure don komail.
7 [If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
A komail pan mimieta nan im ota, o mana o nim, me mi re’rail pwe toun dodok me waron pwain a. Komail der pedoi jan nan eu im ap kolon on nan eu.
8 Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
A ma komail pan pedelon nan eu kanim, o re pan kajamo komail, i waja komail pan tunole, me pan wijike don komail.
9 Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
O kakelada me jomau kan, me mi waja o, o kaire kin irail: Wein Kot koren don komail.
10 But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
A ma komail pan pedelon nan eu kanim, o re jota pan kajamo komail, i waja komail pan pedoi nani al indada:
11 ‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
Pil pwel par, me ko don kit nan omail kanim, jipede don komail; ari jo, komail en aja, me wein Kot koren don komail.
12 I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
I indai on komail, nan a pan manai on Jodom ni ran o jan kanim o.
13 “There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
Juedi on uk Korajim! Juedi on Petjaida! Pwe ma manaman akan, me wiaui on uk er, wiaui on Tiruj o Jidon, nan melel, re pan kalula nan tuk en likau o nan paj.
14 [But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
A a pan manai on Tiruj o Jidon ni kadeik o jan komail.
15 [I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
A koe Kapernaum, me paidar nanlan, pan pijikondi on nan pweleko. (Hadēs g86)
16 [Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
Me roneron komail, nan a kin roneron ia; o me mamaleki komail, nan a kin mamaleki ia. O me mamaleki, ia, nan a kin mamaleki, me kadar ia do.
17 The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
Me ijiakan ap puredo, pereperen potoan on: Main, pil tewil akan udi on kit ni mar omui.
18 Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
A kotin majani on irail: I kilaner Jatan likamata liol a pupedi jan nanlan.
19 Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
Kilan, I ki on komail manaman, en tiakedi jerpent o jkorpion, o en poedi kel en imwintiti karoj. O jota meakot pan kajuedi on komail,
20 But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
Ari jo, komail der peren kida, me nen akan kin udi on komail, a komail peren kida me ad omail intinidier nanlan.
21 At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
Ni auer ota Iejuj kotin perenda ni nen e majani: I kapina komui, Jam ai, kaun pan lan o jappa, me komui okila mepukat jan me lolekon o koiok kan, ap kajale on jeri pwelel akan! Ei Jam ai, pwe iduen me komui kupukupura.
22 [Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
Meakaroj muei on ia er jan ren Jam ai, o jota me aja japwilim a ol, pwe Jam eta. O jota me aja Jam, pwe japwilim a ol eta, o me japwilim a Ol pan kajale on.
23 Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
I ap kotin jaupei don tounpadak kan, majani on irail eta: Meid pai por en maj akan me udial, me komail udialer.
24 I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
Pwe I indai on komail, jaukop o nanmarki kan toto anane udial, me komail kin ududial, a re jota kilaner; a re men ronada, me komail kin roneron, ap jota ronadar.
25 [One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
A kilan, jaunkawewe men ap uda, kajonejon i potoan on: Jaunpadak, da me i en wiada. Pwen jojoki maur ioutuk? (aiōnios g166)
26 Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
A kotin majani on i: Da me intinidier nan kapun o? Daduen om dondoropwe?
27 The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
A japen indada: Koe en pokon Kaun om Kot monion omunjok, o nen om unjok, o kel om unjok. o om Iamelam unjok, o men imp om dueta pein koe.
28 Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
A kotin majani on i: Koe meid japen inen, wiada mepukat, a koe pan maurela.
29 But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
A ap men ak kapunki pein I indan Iejuj: A ij men imp ai?
30 Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
A Iejuj kotin japen majani: Aramaj amen momait jan Ierujalem kodila leriko ap lodi on lolap akai, me ter jan a likau kan, o kame i, rap koieila; i ari pan mela.
31 It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
A jamero amen momaitela nani al ota. A ni a kilan i, ap daulul wei jan.
32 Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
A leap amen pil dueta. Ni a leler waja o, kilan i, ap daulul wei jan.
33 Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
A ol en Jamaria amen jailok jili ap pil weid waja o. Ni a kilaner i ap pokela,
34 He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
Kola re a, o kidim pena a pwal akan, ap ki on le o wain lole o kamondi i pon dake pa man o, wala nan im en kairu eu, apapwali i.
35 The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
Manda a pan jamala, ap ki on kaun en im o denar riau indan i: Apapwali i! A ma mekij pan dauli, i pan kapunala, ni ai pan puredo.
36 Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
A ij ren ir jilimen, me koe wiaki men impan ol o, me lodi on lolap oko?
37 The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
A japen: Me wiadar dodok kadek on i. Iejuj ap kotin majani on i: Ari, kowei alajan!
38 As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
A kadekadeo ni ar kotin jailokela, a kotilon on nan kijin kanim eu. Li amen mi waja o, ad a Marta, me kajamo i Ion on nan im a.
39 Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
Ri a li amen mia, me ad a Maria, me momod ni aluwilu en Iejuj, roneron a majan.
40 But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
A Marta kajopijokki pein i a papa i. I ari potodo potoan on: Main, re jota kotin kupuroki ri ai li, me jota kin ian ia dodok? Re kotin padaki on i, en jauaja ia.
41 But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
A Iejuj kotin japen majani on i: Marta, Marta, koe meid nonki o jopijokki okotme.
42 But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
A me ta kot me kajampwal. Maria piladar pwaij mau, me jota pan katia jan.
