Lukaj 11
1 Kadekadeo ni a kotikot waja kij pwen laolao, a lao kotin erelar, amen japwilim a tounpadak kan ap potoan on i: Main re kotin padaki on kit kapakap, dueta Ioanej kin padaki on 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 majani on irail: Komail lao wia kapakap, ap inda: Jam at, mar omui en jaraui, 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 tunol kaukaule.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 Lapwa jan kit dip at, dueta kit, me kin lapwada karoj, me wia dipi on kit, eder kaluan 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 majani on irail: Ij re omail, me a kompok amen mia o me pan kola re a ni ailep en pon indan i: Kompoke pai, ki on ia lopon prot jilu,
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 jan a jailok o, ap jota, me i pan kak ki on 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 japen inda: Koe der kadiropa ia, pwe wanim ritidier, o nai jeri ko ian ia nan wajan mair; i jo kak paurida o ki on 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 on komail, ma a jota pan paurida o ki on i aki kompokepa a, nan a pan paurida o ki on, me itar on i aki a nidinid.
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 on komail, poeki, a komail pan tunole; 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 karoj me poekipoeki, kin tunole; 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 ij jam amen nan pun omail, ma na putak pan poeki na kijin prot, pan ki on i takai eu? Da ma a poeki mam, pan ki on I jerpent 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 on i jkorpion amen?
Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
13 Ma komail, me jon jued, aja duen kijakij mau on noumail jeri kan, nan melel kaualap, Jam omail nanlan pan ki on Nen jaraui 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 kauje wei tewil amen, me loton. A kadekadeo tewil lao koiei janer, me loton o ap lokelokaia, a aramaj puriamuiki.
He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
15 A akai ir katitiki: Nan Peeljepup, jaumaj en tewil akan, me a kaujeki jan tewil akan.
But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
16 A akai kajonejon i, poeki poeki kilel eu jan nanlan.
Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
17 A ap kotin ani ar lamelam, majani on irail: Wei karoj ma a pan u pena nan pun a, a pan ola; o ma toun im eu pan u pena nan pun a, a jota 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 Jatan u on pein i, a wei pan kak pwaida? Aki komail indinda me dene nai kauje wei tewil akan ki Peeljepup.
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 kaujeki wei Peeljepup tewil akan, a ij me noumail ol akan kin kauje kin irail? Irail ari pan omail jaunkapun.
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 kaujeki wei lim en Kot tewil akan, nan wein Kot lel on 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 jinjila 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 jan i, pan palian i o kaloedi i, ap pan atia jan a kapwa en pei, me a kelekier, o nek pajan kapwa en kul.
But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.
23 Meamen, me jota ian ia, iei me palian ia, o me jota kin dolun penan ia, iei me kin kajapoka pajan.
“He who is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
24 Nen jaut lao kowei jan ren aramaj, a kin tanatan jili nan jap tan akan, rapaki wajan kamol, a jota, me a diarada, i ap kin inda: I ap pan purelon on nan im ai, me i pedoi janer.
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 on i nen ijimen, me jued jan pein i. Irail ap pedelon on lole, rap kakaujon ia; a aramaj pan jued jan maj.
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 mamajani mepukat, li amen, kijan pokon o, ap potoan on 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 majani: Ei, meid pai, me kin ron majan 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 teneten pena, a kotin majani: Di wet meid jued! Re kin rapaki kilel eu, a jota kilel pan janjal on 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 on men Niniwe, iduen Nain aramaj on 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 on ol akan en di wet ni kadeik o pan kari ir ala, pwre a pwrarado jan ni imwin jappa, pwen ron lolekon en Jalomo. A kilan, me laude jan Jalomo mi met.
The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment 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 on di wet ni kadeik, o pan kariala i, pwe re kalula ni ar ronadar padak en Iona. A kilan, me laude jan Iona mi met.
The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the proclaiming of Jonah; and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.
33 Jota me kin ijikeda lamp, ap kila waja rir, pil jo pan kopa, a pon deu a, pwe me pan pedelon on, en kilan 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 maj marain en pali war. Ma maj om makelekel, war om karoj pan dir en marain. A ma maj om me jued, war om karoj 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 jota kijan rotorot mia, karoj pan dir en marain dueta linan en lamp, me kin jenjere 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, Parijar amen luke i, en konot re a. I ari kotilon 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 Parijar lao udial, ap puriamuiki, me a jota kotin omiom mon konot.
When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
39 A Kaun o kotin majani on i: Nan komail Parijar akan kin widen likin dal o plet, a lol omail me dir en me re kuliada o me jued.
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 kijakij weita duen komail kak on! A kilan, karoj pan makelekel on komail.
But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
42 Juedi o n komail Parijar akan, pwe komail, kin maironki eijokkij eu en minje, o raute o jon en kijin tan tuka kai, ap jota injenoki 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 Juedi on komail Parijar akan, pwe komail men mondi leppantam nan jinakoke kan o mauki, ren ranamau on komail nan waja en netinet akan.
Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44 Juedi on komail, pwe komail rajon joujou kan, me jo janjal, o aramaj alialu poa, ap jaja 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 Jaunkawewe men ap japen potoan on i: Jaunpadak, komui pil kin juede kin kit majan pukat.
One of the Torah scholars answered him, “Rabbi, in saying this you insult us also.”
46 A i kotin majani: Pil juedi on komail jaunkawewe! Pwe komail kin katoutou kila kapwa en wijik toutou aramaj akan, ap jota jairki jondin 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 Juedi on komail! Pwe komail kin apapwali joujou en jaukop akan, a jam 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 jam omail akan. Pwe re kame ir ala, a komail apapwali ar joujou 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 won irail jaukop o wanporon akan, a akai irail re pan kamela o pwaki irail jili.
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 jaukop akan, me kapwilipwili weier jan ni tapin kaua kokodo, en kapokon o 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 Jan ntan Apel lei ntan Jakariaj, me kamelar nan pun en pei jaraui o im en kaudok, ei I indai on komail, a pan kapokon on 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 Juedi on komail jaunkawewe! Pwe komail atia jan men kapir pan lolekon. Komail jota pan pedelon, ap inapwiedi, me men pedelon on.
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 mamajani on irail mepukat, jaunkawewe o Parijar akan ap tapiada palian i kaualap, kalekalelapok re a jon 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 majamajan i, o raparapaki, ma re jota kak diar meakot jan ni a majan 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.
