Lukas 11
1 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.
When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as Yochanan also taught his disciples.”
2 A ap kotin masani ong irail: Komail lao wia kapakap, ap inda: Sam at, mar omui en saraui, wei’mui en pwaida,
He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
3 Kotikido ran wet at tungol kaukaule.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 Lapwa sang kit dip at, dueta kit, me kin lapwada karos, me wia dipi ong kit, eder kaluang kit ren me katikatiamau kan.
Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
5 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,
He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
6 Pwe kompoke pai men pwarado sang a sailok o, ap sota, me i pan kak ki ong i.
for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’
7 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.
and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’?
8 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.
I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
9 I indai ong komail, poeki, a komail pan tungole; rapaki, a komail pan diarada; letelet, a a pan ritida mo’mail.
“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.
10 Pwe karos me poekipoeki, kin tungole; o me kin rapaki, kin diarada; o me kin letelet, nan a pan ritida mo a.
For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
11 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?
“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
12 De ma a pan poeki kitor eu, pan ki ong i skorpion amen?
Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
13 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.
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
14 A ap kotin kause wei tewil amen, me lotong. A kadekadeo tewil lao koiei sanger, me lotong o ap lokelokaia, a aramas puriamuiki.
He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marvelled.
15 A akai ir katitiki: Nan Peelsepup, saumas en tewil akan, me a kauseki sang tewil akan.
But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
16 A akai kasongesong i, poekipoeki kilel eu sang nanlang.
Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
17 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.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
18 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.
If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
19 Ma I kin kauseki wei Peelsepup tewil akan, a is me noumail ol akan kin kause kin irail? Irail ari pan omail saunkapung.
But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20 A ma I kauseki wei lim en Kot tewil akan, nan wein Kot lel ong komail er.
But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.
21 Ma me kelail o, me audeki kapwa en pei, pan sinsila im a, nan a kapwa nekinekid mau.
“When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
22 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.
But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armour in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.
23 Meamen, me sota iang ia, iei me palian ia, o me sota kin dolung penang ia, iei me kin kasapoka pasang.
“He who is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
24 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.
The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’
25 A lao puredo, a diar, me a kokok o kapwater,
When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
26 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.
Then he goes and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
27 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!
It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”
28 A i kotin masani: Ei, meid pai, me kin rong masan en Kot ap kapwaiada.
But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”
29 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.
When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
30 Pwe duen Iona kilel eu ong men Niniwe, iduen Nain aramas ong di wet.
For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also be to this generation.
31 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.
The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgement with the men of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here.
32 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.
The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgement with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the proclaiming of Jonah; and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.
33 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.
“No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.
34 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.
The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
35 En kalaka, pwe marain mi lol om, der rotorot!
Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
36 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.
If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”
37 A ni a kotin kaparok, Parisär amen luke i, en konot re a. I ari kotilong kotidi nin tepel.
Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.
38 A Parisär lao udial, ap puriamuiki, me a sota kotin omiom mon konot.
When the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
39 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.
The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
40 Nan pweipwei komail, kaidin i me wiadar pali liki, pil wiadar pali lole?
You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
41 A kisakis weita duen komail kak ong! A kilang, karos pan makelekel ong komail.
But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
42 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.
But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
43 Suedi ong komail Parisär akan, pwe komail men mondi leppantam nan sinakoke kan o mauki, ren ranamau ong komail nan wasa en netinet akan.
Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44 Suedi ong komail, pwe komail rasong sousou kan, me so sansal, o aramas alialu poa, ap sasa ir!
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
45 Saunkawewe men ap sapeng potoan ong i: Saunpadak, komui pil kin suede kin kit masan pukat.
One of the Torah scholars answered him, “Rabbi, in saying this you insult us also.”
46 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.
He said, “Woe to you Torah scholars also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
47 Suedi ong komail! Pwe komail kin apapwali sousou en saukop akan, a sam omail akan kame ir ala.
Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Komail ari kin kadede o peren kida wiawia en sam omail akan. Pwe re kame ir ala, a komail apapwali ar sousou kan.
So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 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.
Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and emissaries; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
50 Pwe ntan saukop akan, me kapwilipwili weier sang ni tapin kaua kokodo, en kapokon ong di wet.
that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,
51 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.
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
52 Suedi ong komail saunkawewe! Pwe komail atia sang men kapir pan lolekong. Komail sota pan pedelong, ap inapwiedi, me men pedelon ong.
Woe to you Torah scholars! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
53 A ni a kotin mamasani ong irail mepukat, saunkawewe o Parisär akan ap tapiada palian i kaualap, kalekalelapok re a song toto,
As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him,
54 O re masamasan i, o raparapaki, ma re sota kak diar meakot sang ni a masan akan, pwe ren kadipa i.
lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
