Lukaj 13
1 NI anjau o akai mia, me potoan on i duen men Kaliaa kai, me Pilatuj doleki nt’ arail ar mairon.
Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
2 A kotin japen majani on irail: Komail kiki on, me men Kalilaa pukat me dipan akan mon men Kalilaa tei kan, pweki ar kalokolok o?
Jesus answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?
3 Na, i me indai on komail: Jo! A ma komail jota pan kalula, komail karoj pan mela dueta.
I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.
4 De irail ekwalemen ko, me im en ruk en Jiloa pupedi on poa, kame ir ala, komail kiki on, me irail me jued jan aramaj akan, me kaukaujon lerujalem?
Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?
5 Nai me indai on komail: Jo! A ma komail jota pan kalula, komail karoj pan mela dueta.
I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.”
6 A kotin karajeraj on irail majani: Aramaj amen mia, me a tuka pik apot padedi nan a mat en wain, ap kodon rapaki wa, a jota me a diarada.
He spoke this parable. “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.
7 A ap indai on jaumat en wain: Kilan, par jilu i kodon rapaki wan pik pot et, a jota, me i diarada; paledi, da me a pinaki mal waja o!
He said to the vine dresser, ‘Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down! Why does it waste the soil?’
8 A a japen indan i: Main, pui jan pil par wet, pwe i en weirada ni tapi, o ki on pwel mau.
He answered, ‘Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilise it.
9 A ma a pan wa, ari me mau, a ma jo, komui ap pan paledi jan.
If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.’”
10 A kotin padapadak nan jinakoke eu ni ran en japat.
He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
11 A kilan, li amen mia, me nen en jomau ti poa par naulwalu, a koj pena o jota man kak uda.
Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. She was bent over and could in no way straighten herself up.
12 Iejuj lao kotin majani i, ap molipei won i majani on i: Li, koe en maioda jan om jomau!
When Jesus saw her, he called her and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.”
13 I ap kotin pwil po a lim a kan, i ari madan kajinenda, kapikapina Kot.
He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight and glorified God.
14 A jaumaj en jinakoke o makara kida pan Iejuj a kake lada i ni ran en japat, ap japen indan pokon o: Ran wonu, aramaj en dodok, i anjau me komail kodon kakelada, a iermen ni ran en japat!
The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!”
15 Kaun o ap kotin japen i majani: Malaun koe, kaidin komail karoj kin lapwada kau o ejel jan deu a kalualan nim pil ni ran en japat?
Therefore the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath and lead him away to water?
16 A li men et, me nain Apraam jeripein, me Jatan jaliedi par naulwalu, me jo mau, en lapwada ni ran en japat?
Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?”
17 Ni a kotin majani mepukat, karoj me palian i, ap namenokala o aramaj karoj peren kida wiawia mau kan karoj, me wiauier pa a.
As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
18 A a kotin majani: Wein Kot rajon da? O da me I en karajai on i?
He said, “What is God’s Kingdom like? To what shall I compare it?
19 A rajon wantuka eu, me aramaj amen kajela nan matuel ap wojada, wiala tuka kalaimun pot, o manpir en pan lan kaukaujon nan ra kan.
It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his own garden. It grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky live in its branches.”
20 A pil kotin majani: Da me I en karajai on wein Kot?
Again he said, “To what shall I compare God’s Kingdom?
21 A rajon kalep kij, me li amen ale, okila nan kajak en plaua jilu, karoj lao mutala.
It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.”
22 Ni a kotilan lerujalem, a kotin padapadak jili nan kanim laud o tikitik kan.
He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and travelling on to Jerusalem.
23 Amen ap potoan on i: Main, me malaulau pan maurela? A kotin majani on irail:
One said to him, “Lord, are they few who are saved?” He said to them,
24 Niani en pedelon on nan wanim tatik, pwe I indai on komail, me toto pan jojon pedelon on, a jota pan kak.
“Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in and will not be able.
25 A kaun pan im o lao udar ritinidier wanim o, komail ap pan pikikidi letelet ni wanim o indada: Main, ritinida jan kit! A ap pan japen indan komail: I jaja komail, o waja me komail ko jan ia.
When once the master of the house has risen up and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’
26 Komail ap pan pikikidi indada: Kit me mana o nim imp omui, o komui pil kaukawewe nan atail al akan.
Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
27 A i me pan inda: I indai on komail, I jaja komail o waja komail ko jan ia, ko wei jan ia, komail karoj me wiawia jued.
He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’
28 Janejan o teterok ap pan wiaui, komail lao kilan Apraam, o Ijaak, o Iakop, o jaukop akan karoj nan wein Kot, a komail pijikonla jan.
There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God’s Kingdom, and yourselves being thrown outside.
29 Nan re pan kodo jan nan maj en lan, o jan nan kapin lan, o jan nan apan, o jan air en lan, o re pan mondi ni tepel nan wein Kot.
They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in God’s Kingdom.
30 A kilan, me pwand akai mia, me pan madan, o me madan kai mia, me pan pwand.
Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last.”
31 Ni auer ota Parijar akai kodo indai on i: Koti wei jan met, pwe Erod pan kame komui la.
On that same day, some Pharisees came, saying to him, “Get out of here and go away, for Herod wants to kill you.”
32 A kotin majani on irail: Komail u kowei, indai on pokj ota: Kilan I kin kauje wei tewil oko o kamakamaureda ran wet o lakap, a ni kajilu en ran I pan imwijokela.
He said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.
33 I en kokola ran wet, pil lakap, pil pali, pwe jota jaukop amen me pan kamela likin lerujalem.
Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can’t be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem.’
34 lerujalem, lerujalem, me kin kamela jaukop akan o kajuk, me pakadara don uk, pan pak loto I men kapokon pena noum jeri kan dueta lituk amen kin kompwal pena na kan pan pa a, a komail kaner,
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused!
35 Kilan, im omail pan tanla, pwe I indai on komail, komail jolar pan kilan ia, lao a pan pwaida omail pan inda: Kapina on me kotido ni mar en Kaun!
Behold, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
