Lukas 9
1 A LAO kotin molipe pena ekriamen oko, ap kotiki ong irail kel o manaman, en kaloedi tewil akan karos o kakelada me somau kan.
Jesus called the twelve disciples together. He gave them power and authority over all demons, and the ability to heal diseases.
2 I ari kotin porone ir ala, pwen padapadak duen wein Kot o kakelada me somau kan.
Then he sent them out to proclaim God's kingdom and to heal the sick.
3 O a kotin masani ong irail: Komail der wala meakot pon al o: Sota sokon, de ed, de prot, de moni, amen pil so pan wa sakit riau.
“Take nothing with you for the journey,” he told them. “No staff, no bag, no bread, no money, not even any extra clothes.
4 O wasa kis me komail pan pedelong ong nan im eu, komail pan mimieta wasa o, komail lao kowei sang ia.
Whatever house you enter, stay there, and when you leave, leave from there.
5 O meamen kang kasamo komail, komail sapalewei sang kanim o, o sipede sang pwel ni nä omail, pwen kadede ong irail.
If people refuse to accept you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave town as a warning against them.”
6 Irail ari kokola, kakan sili nan kisin kanim akan, padaki rongamau o kakelada me somau kan wasa karos.
They left and went around the villages, announcing the good news and healing everywhere they went.
7 A nanmarki Erodes lao mangi duen meakan, me wiauiki i, ap pingidar, pweki akai katitiki, me dene Ioanes iasadar sang ren me melar akan.
Herod the tetrarch had heard about all that was happening, and he was very puzzled. Some were saying that John had been raised from the dead;
8 A akai indada, me dene Elias pwarado, o akai me inda, me dene saukop en kaua men iasadar,
others that Elijah had appeared; still others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life.
9 A Erodes masani: Ioanes, i me i lepuke sang mong a, a is men et, me i kin rongerong due? A ap men udial i.
Herod said, “There's no question I beheaded John. So who is this man? I'm hearing all these things about him.” And he tried to find a way to meet Jesus.
10 A wanporon akan lao pure doer, ap kaireki i karos, me re wiadar. I ari kotin uk irail ada, kotilang wasa rir, nan kanim eu, me ad a Petsaida.
When the apostles returned they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he left with them and went to a town called Bethsaida.
11 Toun sap o lao asaer, rap idauenla i, i ari kotin kasamo irail, o kotin padaki ong irail duen wein Kot, o kotin kakelada me mau ong.
However, the crowds found out where he was going and followed him there. He welcomed them and explained the kingdom of God to them, and healed those who needed healing.
12 A lao pan wasa pongier, ekriamen potodo potoan ong i: Re kotin kadar pasang pokon en, pwen kola nan kisin kanim akan o nan sap, en rapaki wasan pweidi o kan ar kisin manga, pwe kitail kotikot nan sap tan wet,
Late in the day, the twelve disciples came to him and said, “You should send the crowd away now so they can go to the villages and farms nearby and find a place to stay and food to eat—there's nothing here where we are.”
13 A a kotin masani ong irail: Komail pan ki ong irail kan ar manga! Re potoan ong: Lopon prot eta limau o mam eta riamen mi re at. De se pan kola netie dong pokon kalaimun wet manga?
“You give them something to eat!” said Jesus. “All we have here are five loaves and two fish—unless you want us to go and buy food for everyone,” they said.
14 Pwe irail me ol impan limekid. A a kotin masani ong sapwilim a tounpadak kan: Komail pwini ir pasang wad limek o limek!
There were about five thousand men present. “Sit them down in groups of about fifty,” he told his disciples.
15 Irail ari wiada o kamod irail edi.
The disciples did so, and everybody sat down.
16 A kotin limada lopon prot limau o mam riamen, masanda nanlang, laolaoki, pilitiki pena, kotiki ong sapwilim a tounpadak kan, pwe ren nene ong pokon o.
Jesus picked up the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed the food and broke it into pieces. He kept on giving the food to the disciples to share with the people.
17 Irail sak, o karos medier, ap rikada dodo eisokriau luan kamadip o.
Everybody ate until they were full, and then twelve baskets of leftovers were collected.
18 Kadekadeo ni a kotin laolao kelep, sapwilim a tounpadak kan iang i. A kotin kainoma re’rail masani: Is me aramas kin inda me ngai?
At another time, when Jesus was praying in private with just his disciples with him, he asked them, “All these crowds of people—who do they say I am?”
19 Irail sapeng potoan ong: Ioanes saunpaptais, a akai me inda Elias, o pil akai kin inda, me dene saukop en kaua men iasadar.
“Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and still others say one of the ancient prophets risen from the dead,” they replied.
20 A kotin masani ong irail: A da me komail kin inda is ngai? Petrus ap sapeng potoan ong: Ir me Kristus sapwilim en Kot.
“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” “God's Messiah,” Peter replied.
21 A i me kotin padik inapwiedi irail, ren der indang meamen mepukat,
Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell anybody about this.
22 Masani: Nain aramas pan kalokolok laud, o lokidokila ren saumas, o samero lapalap, o saunkawewe kan, o a pan kamela, o ni ran kasilu a pan maureda,
“The Son of man must experience terrible sufferings,” he said. “He will be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the religious teachers. He will be killed, but on the third day he will rise again.”
23 Ap kotin masani ong irail karos: Meamen men idauen ia i en tonmeteki pein i o ale a lopu ni ran karos, o idedauen ia do.
“If any one of you wants to follow me, you must deny yourself, pick up your cross daily, and follow me,” Jesus told all of them.
24 Pwe meamen kanakanai ong maur a, pan pupe sang. A meamen kasela maur a pweki ngai, pan diarada.
“For if you want to save your life, you will lose it; and if you lose your life for my sake, you will save it.
25 Pwe da me pan mau ong aramas amen, me aneki pena sappa karos, ap kasela pein i o kasapokela pein i?
What do you benefit by gaining the whole world if you end up lost or destroyed?
26 Pwe me kin namenok kin ia o ai padak kan, i me Nain aramas pil pan namenokki, a lao kodo ni a lingan, o lingan en Sam a, o na tounlang saraui kan.
If you are ashamed of me and my message, the Son of man will be ashamed of you when he comes in his glory, and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels.
27 A melel I indai ong komail, akai irail, me mi met, sota pan mela, irail lao udial wein Kot.
I tell you the truth, some standing here won't taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”
28 A kadekadeo murin pong walu pong murin masan pukat i ap ukada Petrus, o Ioanes, o Iakopus kotidala pon nana o pwen laolao.
About eight days later, after he had told them this, Jesus took Peter, John, and James with him and went up a mountain to pray.
29 A ni a kotin laolao mom en silang i ap wukila o sapwilim a likau puetepuetela o lingaling.
While he was praying, his face changed in appearance, and his clothing became a dazzling white.
30 A kilang, ol riamen iang i masan pena! Ira me Moses o Elias.
Two men appeared in brilliant glory. They were Moses and Elijah, and they began to talk with Jesus.
31 Ira pwarado ni ara lingan o mamasani duen a pan kamatala nan Ierusalem.
They spoke about his death, which would soon happen in Jerusalem.
32 A Petrus o me iang i me toutouki mair. Ira lao pirida, re ap udial a lingan o ol riamen kotikot impa.
Peter and the others were asleep. When they woke up they saw Jesus in his glory, and the two men standing next to him.
33 Kadekadeo ira lao kotiwei sang re a, Petrus ap indang Iesus: Maing, meid mau atail kotikot met. Kit en kauada kisin im silikis: Tanpas ar, o en Moses, o en Elias; a sasa me a kasokasoi.
As the two men were about to leave, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it's great to be here. Let's make some shelters: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He really didn't know what he was saying.
34 Ni a kasokasoi mepukat, pali en dapok kadupal irail edi, irail ari masakadar ni ar tilong nan dapok o.
While he was speaking a cloud came and spread over them. They were terrified as they entered the cloud.
35 O ngil eu peidido sang nan dapok o masani: Iet nai ol kompok, komail en rong i!
A voice spoke from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him!”
36 A ngil wet lao wiauier, re ap diaradar Iesus ta. Ir ari nenenlata; o ni ran oko re sota kaireki meamen duen me re kilanger.
When the voice finished speaking, Jesus was there alone. They kept this to themselves, and didn't tell anyone at that time what they'd seen.
37 A kadekadeo manda en ran o irail lao kotidido sang nana o, pokon kalaimun ap poto dong i,
The next day, when they had come down the mountain, a huge crowd was waiting to meet Jesus.
38 A kilang, ol amen nan pokon o ngil laudeda potoan ong: Saunpadak, i poeki re ir, re kotin masani dong ai tungol putak o, pwe iei ai ieros.
A man in the crowd called out, “Teacher, please look at my son. He's my only child.
39 Re kotin mangi, ngen o lao koledi i, a kin madang weriwer, a kin senseroki sili, a ap kin pudopud o meid apwal ni a kin koiei sang i.
A spirit possesses him and he screams immediately. It sends him into convulsions and makes him foam at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him alone and it causes him a lot of pain.
40 Ngai ari poeki ren sapwilim ar tounpadak kan, ren kause wei sang i, a re sota kak.
I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn't.”
41 A Iesus kotin sapeng masani: O di wet meid soposon o sapung, ia arain ai pan mimi re omail? Ia arain ai pan kokoa komail? Wa dong ia noum putak!
“What an unbelieving and corrupt people you are! How long do I have to remain here with you, and put up with you?” said Jesus. “Bring your son here.”
42 A ni a kokodo, tewil ap kapururada o seroki sili i, a Iesus kotin kidaueda ngen saut o, o kakelada putak o, ap kapure ong i ren sam a.
Even as the boy came over, the demon sent him into convulsions, throwing him to the ground. But Jesus intervened, rebuking the evil spirit and healing the boy, and then gave him back to his father.
43 A irail karos puriamuiki manaman en Kot. A ni ar puriamuiki en Iesus a wiawia kan ap kotin masani ong sapwilim a tounpadak kan:
Everyone was amazed at this demonstration of God's power. However, even though everyone was amazed by all he did, Jesus warned his disciples,
44 Masan pukat en kaloledi nan salong omail: Nain aramas pan pangala ni pa en aramas.
“Listen carefully to what I'm telling you: the Son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.”
45 A irail sota weweki masan wet, pwe a rir sang irail, i me irail sasaki. Irail ari masak kalelapok re a duen masan pot et.
But they didn't understand what this meant. Its meaning was hidden from them so they didn't realize its implications, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
46 Irail ap pil lamelame, is me pan lapalap re’rail?
Then an argument started among the disciples about which of them was the greatest.
47 A Iesus lao kotin mangi ar lamelam nan mongiong arail, ap ale seri men, kida impa a,
But Jesus, knowing what they were arguing about, picked up and placed a small child next to him.
48 O masani ong irail: Meamen pan apwali kisin seri men et ni ad ai, nan a kin apwali ia, a meamen pan apwali ia, nan a kin apwali, me kadar ia do; a me tikitik re omail, nan i me pan lapalapala.
Then he said to them, “Anyone who accepts this little child in my name accepts me, and anyone who accepts me accepts the one who sent me. Whoever is least among you all is the greatest.”
49 Ioanes ap sapeng potoan ong: Maing, se kilanger amen, me kausewei tewil akan ni mar ar. Kit ari inapwiedi, pwe a sota kin iang kit idedauen ir.
John spoke up, saying, “Master, we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him because he wasn't one of us.”
50 A Iesus kotin masani ong i: Eder inapiedi, pwe me so kin palian komail, nan a kin iang komail.
“Don't stop him,” Jesus replied. “Anyone who isn't against you is for you.”
51 A kadekadeo a lao ansau, me a pan peukadala, a ap kotin saupeilang kotilang inen wong Ierusalem.
As the time approached for him to ascend to heaven, Jesus was determined to go to Jerusalem.
52 A kotin poronela men kadar akan, me pan tiong mo a. Irail ari kokola lele dong kisin kanim en Samaria eu, pwen rapaki wasa, me a pan pweiokidi ia.
He sent messengers on ahead to a Samaritan village to get things ready for him.
53 A re sota kasamo i aki a kotin saupeila kotilang inen wong Ierusalem.
But the people would not welcome him because he was determined to press on to Jerusalem.
54 Sapwilim a tounpadak kan Iakopus o Ioanes lao kilanger mepukat, ap potoan ong: Maing, ma re kotin kupura, se pan poeki, kisiniai en moredi sang nanlang, kang irail la, duen Elias wiadar.
When James and John saw this, they asked Jesus, “Master, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to burn them up?”
55 A i kotin saupeido, kapung ong ira masani: Koma sota asa is Ngen, me naina kin koma?
But Jesus turned, and reprimanded them.
56 Irail ap daulul wei nan eu kisin kanim.
Then they proceeded to another village.
57 Kadekadeo ni arail kotikot kokodo amen ap potoan ong i: Maing i pan idedauen ir wasa karos me re pan kotila ia.
While they were walking, one man told Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go!”
58 Iesus kotin masani ong i: Poks akan por ar mia, o manpir en pan lang pas ar mia, a Nain aramas sota wasa en kaula wei mong a.
Jesus told the man, “Foxes have their dens, and wild birds have their nests, but the Son of man doesn't even have a place to rest his head.”
59 A kotin masani ong amen: Idauen ia do! A i indada: Maing, komui kotin mueid ong ia mas, i en purela sarepedi sam ai.
He told another man, “Follow me.” But the man replied, “Master, first let me go home and bury my father.”
60 A Iesus kotin masani ong i: Me melar akan en sarepedi ar melar akan, a koe kowei kalok sili wein Kot!
“Let the dead bury their own dead,” Jesus replied. “You go and proclaim God's kingdom.”
61 Pil amen potoan: Maing, i pan idedauen ir sili, a re kotin mueid ong ia mas, i en kamurimuri ong toun im ai.
Another man said, “Lord, I will follow you! But first let me go home and say goodbye to my family.”
62 A Iesus kotin masani ong i: Sota me pan koledi men weirada pwel, ap kilang muri, a sota koiok ong wein Kot.
But Jesus told him, “Nobody once they've started plowing and then looks back is fit for God's kingdom.”
