1 KADEKADEO ni ran en japat kariau a kotin weid nan mat en korn o japwilim a tounpadak kan ap dolun wan korn o irririj nan pa arail, ap kankan.
One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), while Jesus was walking through some grain fields with his disciples, the disciples picked some of the heads of grain. They rubbed them in their hands [to separate the grains from the husks], and ate the grain. [The law of Moses permitted people to do that if they were hungry].
2 A Pari jar akai indan irail: Menda komail kin wiada, me jota pun, en wiaui ni ran en japat?
Some Pharisees [who were watching] said to Jesus, “(You should not be doing on our rest day [work] that [our] laws forbid!/Why are you doing on our rest day [work] that our laws forbid?)” [RHQ]
3 Iejuj ari kotin japen majani on irail: Komail jota wadoker, me Dawid wiadar ni a men manadar, i o me ian i?
[Jesus wanted to show them that the record in Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food]. [So] he replied, “[It is written in the Scriptures] what [our revered ancestor, King] David did when he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, ([but you do not think about what it implies/so why do you not think about what it implies]?) [RHQ]
4 Duen a pedelon on nan tanpaj en Kot, o ale prot en kajanjal, o kankan o pil ki on me ian i, me jota pun, aramaj en tunole, jamero kan eta?
David entered God’s big worship tent [and asked for some food]. [The high priest gave him] the bread that the priests had presented to God. It was permitted [in] one of [Moses’ laws] that only the priests could eat that bread. But [even though David was not a priest], he ate some, and gave some to the men who were with him. [And God did not consider that what David did was wrong]!”
5 O majani on irail: Nain aramaj pil kaun en japat.
Jesus also said to them, “[I am] the one who came from heaven, so [I] have the authority [to determine what is right for my disciples to do on] the day of rest!”
6 A kadekadeo ni eu japat a kotilon on nan jinakoke kaweweda. A aramaj amen mia, me pa a pali maun motorla.
Another (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) Jesus entered a (synagogue/Jewish meeting place) and taught the people. There was a man there whose right hand was shriveled.
7 A jaunkawewe o Parijar akan majamajan i, ma a pan kakelada i ni ran en japat, pwe re en kadipa i.
The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees [who were there] watched Jesus, to see if he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this so that, [if he healed the man], they would accuse him [of disobeying their laws by working on the day of rest].
8 A kotin ani ar lamelam ap majani on aramaj o, me pa a motorla: Uda kodo met! A ap uda ko on waja o.
But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Come and stand here [in front of everyone]!” So the man got up and stood there.
9 Iejuj ap kotin majani on irail: I men idok re omail, da me pun en wiada ni ran en japat n o me mau de me jued? En kolekol de kawela maur en aramaj?
Then Jesus said to the others, “I ask you this: Do the laws that [God gave Moses] permit [people] to do what is good (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit people] to harm [others]? [Do they permit us] to save [a person’s] life [on our day of rest] or to let [him] die [HYP] [by refusing to help him]?”
10 I ari kotin aupwil jili po’rail majani on i: Kapawei pa om! A ap wiada, pa a ap kelailada, a maula dueta me teio.
[They refused to answer him. So] after he looked around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out your [shriveled] hand!” The man did that, and his hand became all right again!
11 Irail ap makaradar kaualap o kapukapun pena, da me re pan wiai on Iejuj.
But the men who taught the Jewish laws and the Pharisees were very angry, and they discussed with one another what they could do to [get rid of] Jesus.
12 Kadekadeo ni ran oko, a kotidala pon nana pwen laolao. I ari kotin laolao on Kot lao waja ran.
About that time [Jesus] went up into the hills to pray. He prayed to God all night.
13 A lao ran pajan, ap kotin molipei pena japwilim a toun padak kan. A kotin piladar ekriamen, me a kamareki wanporon.
The next day he summoned all his disciples to come near him. From them he chose twelve men, whom he called apostles.
14 Jimon me a kotin kaadeaneki Petruj, o ri a Andreaj, o Iakopuj, o Ioanej, o Pilipuj, o Partolo mauj,
They were Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name, Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James and [his younger brother], John; Philip; Bartholomew;
15 O Matauj, o Tomaj, o Iakopuj nain Alpauj, o Jimon, me adaneki Jelotej,
Matthew, whose other name was Levi; Thomas; [another] James, the [son] of Alpheus; Simon, who belonged to the party [that encouraged people to] rebel [against the Roman government];
16 O Iudaj nain Iakopuj, o Iudaj Ijkariot, me panala i.
Judas, the [son] of [another] James; and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), the one who later (betrayed Jesus./enabled the Jewish leaders to seize Jesus.)
17 A lao kotin ian ir kotidi don waja kij nan jap patapat o, jap wilim a tounpadak kan toto o aramaj nederenia pokon don i jan nan Iudaa, o Jerujalem, o Tiruj, o Jidon, re mi pon oror, pwen ron i o kakelailada jan nr jomau kan;
[Jesus] came down from the hills with his disciples and stood on a level area. There was a very big crowd of his disciples there. There was also a large group of people who had come from Jerusalem and from many [other] places [in] Judea [district], and from the coastal areas near Tyre and Sidon [cities].
18 O me kalokolok ren nen jaut akan ap kelailadar.
They came to hear Jesus talk to them and to be healed {and for him to heal them} from their diseases. He also healed those whom evil spirits had troubled.
19 A aramaj karoj men doke I, pwe rojon kin pwiliwei jan i, kakel irail karoj.
Everyone [in the crowd] tried to touch him, because he was healing everyone by [his/God’s] power.
20 A ap kotin aupwil jili pon japwilim a tounpadak kan majani: Meid pai komail, me jamama, pwe noumail wein nanlan.
He looked [MTY] at his disciples and said, “[God] is pleased with you [who know] that you lack what [he wants you to have; ] he will allow you to be the people whose lives he rules over.
21 Meid pai komail, me men manadar anjau wet, pwe komail pan medila. Meid pai komail, me kin janejan anjau wet, pwe komail pan kaurur.
[God] is pleased with you who sincerely desire to receive what [MTY] [he wants you to have]; he will give you what you need, until you are satisfied. [God] is pleased with you that grieve now [because of sin]. Later you will be joyful.
22 Komail meid pai, ma aramaj akan kailon kin komail, o kaje komail la, o kidaue komail, o kawela ad omail, pwe dene me jued, pweki Nain aramaj.
[God] is pleased with you when [other] people hate you, when they will not let you join them, when they insult you, when they say that you are evil because [you believe in] me, the one who came from heaven.
23 Komail en peren ni ran o, o lujiluj, pwe kilan, pwain omail me lapalap nanlan, pwe iduen me jam arail akan wiai on jaukop akan.
When that happens, rejoice! Jump up and down because you are so happy! [God will give] you a great reward in heaven! [When they do these things to you, it will prove that you are God’s servants]. (OR, [People have always treated God’s servants like that].) Do not forget that these people’s ancestors did the same things to the prophets [who served God faithfully]!
24 A me juedi on komail kapwapwa kan, pwe komail anekier omail peren.
But there will be terrible punishment for you that are rich; the happiness you have received [from your riches] is the only happiness that you will get.
25 Juedi on komail, me medier, pwe komail pan dupokala. Juedi on komail, me kin peren anjau wet, pwe komail pan mauk o janejan.
There will be terrible punishment for you who [think that you] have all that you need now; you will [realize] that these things will not make you feel satisfied. There will be terrible punishment for you who are joyful now; you will [later] be very sad.
26 Juedi on komail, ma aramaj akan karoj pan lokaia mau kin komail; pwe iduen me jam arail akan wiai on jaukop likam akan.
When most [HYP] people speak well about you, trouble is ahead for you; [it will not prove that you are God’s servants, because] your ancestors used to speak well about those who falsely [claimed that they were] prophets.”
27 A I indai on komail, me kin roneron, pok on omail imwintiti, wiawia mau on me kin kailon kin komail,
“But I say this to each of you [disciples] who are listening [to what I say]: Love your enemies [as well as your friends]. Do good things for those who hate you!
28 Kapaiada, me kin karia komail la, kapakapa kin ir, me kainjenjuede kin komail;
[Ask God to] bless those who curse you! Pray for those who mistreat you!
29 O me pikir uk ni apali en lilk in jap om, pil ki on i pali teio, o me pan kijan om likau pup, pil mueid on i noum jakit.
If someone [insults one of you by] striking you on one of your cheeks, turn your face [so that he can strike] the other cheek [also]. If [a bandit] wants to take away your [(sg)] coat, let him also have your shirt.
30 K ion karoj, me kin poeki re om, o me pan atia jan om, koe der poeki re a, a kapuredo.
Give something to everyone who asks you [(sg) for something]. If someone takes away things that belong to you [(sg)], do not ask him to return them.
31 A duen me komail men, aramaj en wia on komail, iduen me komail en wiai on irail.
In whatever way you [(pl)] want others to act toward you, that is the way that you should act toward them.
32 Pwe ma komail pok on, me kin pokepoke komail, da me pan katin pamail? Pwe me dipan akan pil kin pok on kompoke parail.
If you love [only] those who love you, do not [expect God] to praise you for [doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners love those who love them.
33 A ma komail wiawia mau on, me wia mau on komail, da me pan katin pamail? Pwe me dipan akan kin wia pil dueta.
If you do good things [only] for those who do good things for you, do not [expect God] to reward you [for doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners do that.
34 A ma komail pan ki on irail, me komail akpwainonki, da me pan katin pamail? Pwe me dipan akan pil kin wiai on me dipan, pwen ale me duete.
If you lend [things or money only] to those who you expect will give something back to you, do not [expect that God] will reward you [RHQ] [for doing that]. Even sinners lend to other sinners, because they expect them to pay everything back.
35 A pok on omail imwintiti, o wiawia mau, o ki on jo akapwainok, a pwain omail pan lapalap, o komail pan jeri en me lapalap o. Pwe a kupura, me jo danke o me jued akan.
Instead, love your enemies! Do good things for them! Lend to them, and do not expect them to pay anything back! [If you do that, God will give] you a big reward. And you will be [acting like] his children [should]. Remember that God is kind to people who are not grateful and to people who are wicked, [and he expects you to be like that too].
36 Komail ari kadek rajon Jam omail me kalanan.
Act mercifully toward others, just like your Father [in heaven acts] mercifully [toward you].”
37 Ender kadeikada a komail jota pan pakadeikada. Ender kariala, a komail jota pan kariala. Lapwada, a komail pan lapwada.
“Do not say how sinfully others have acted, and then [God] will not say how sinfully you have acted. Do not condemn others, and then [he] will not condemn you [DOU]. Forgive others [for the evil things that they have done to you], and then [God] will forgive you.
38 Kijakija wei, a a pan depuk on komail dal mau eu, me idan pena, o itik pena, o dir kaualap, me pan ko on komail. Pwe men jon ota, me komail kin jonki, iduen a pil pan jon on komail.
Give [good things to others], and then [God] will give [good] things to you. It will be [as though] [MET] [God is putting things in a basket] for you. He will give you a full amount, pressed down in the basket, which he will shake [so that he can put more in], and it will spill over the sides! [Remember that] the way you act [toward others] will be the way that [God] will act toward you!”
39 A kotin pil majani on irail karajeraj eu: Da, me majkun pan kak kare me majkun? Ira karoj jota pan pupedi nan por o?
He also told [his disciples] this parable [to show them that they should be like him, and not be like the Jewish religious leaders]: “(You certainly would not [expect] a blind man to lead another blind man./Would you [expect] a blind man to lead [another] blind man?) [RHQ] If he tried to do [that], (they would both probably fall into a hole!/wouldn’t they both probably fall into a hole?) [RHQ] [I am your teacher, and you disciples should be like me].
40 Tounpadak jota kin laude jan a jaunpadak. Ma tounpadak paroki on a jaunpadak, nan a unjokala.
A disciple should not [expect to be] better known than his teacher. But if a student is fully trained {if someone fully trains a student}, the student can become like his teacher [MET]. [So you should be content to be like me].
41 A menda koe kilekilan pul ni maj en ri om ol, ap jota kan ataut o ni pein maj om?
(Why do you notice [someone else’s small faults]?/None of you should be concerned about [someone else’s small faults] [MET, RHQ].) [That would be like] noticing a speck in that person’s eye. But you should be concerned about [your own big faults. They are like] planks in your own eye, [which you do not notice].
42 De iadue, koe pan indan ri om: Ri ai, aui maj, i pan ki jan pul ni maj om, ap jota kilan ataut o ni maj om? Malaun amen koe, ki jan maj ataut o ni maj om, a koe ap pan kak kilan, duen om pan kak kijan pul, me mi ni maj en ri om.
(You [(sg)] should not say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye!/Why do you say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye?) [RHQ] [If you do that], you are a hypocrite! You should first [stop committing your own sins. That will be like] removing the plank from your own eye. Then, as a result, you will have the spiritual insight you need to help others get rid of the [faults that are like] specks in their eyes.”
43 Pwe tuka mau jota pan wa jued. Pil jota tuka jued pan wa mau.
“[People are like trees] [MET]. Healthy trees do not bear bad fruit (OR, bear only good fruit), and unhealthy trees do not bear good fruit.
44 Tuka karoj kin diarok kida a wa. Pwe aramaj jota kak dolun jan pik ni tuka kamadak, aramaj pil jota kin dolun jan wan wain ni tuka mal.
[Just like you] can tell if a tree is good or bad by looking at its fruit, [you can tell which people are good and which are bad by looking at the way they] conduct their lives. [For example, because thornbushes cannot produce figs], no one can pick figs from thornbushes. And [since bramble bushes cannot produce grapes], no one can [pick] grapes from bramble bushes.
45 Aramaj mau amen kin kapwareda me mau jan nan a pai mau en monion i, a me jued amen kin kapwareda me jued jan nan a jued, pwe aua kin kida jan nan audepan monion o.
[Similarly], good people will conduct their lives in a good way because they think a lot of good [things], and evil people will live in an evil way because they think a lot of evil [things]. The basic principle is that people speak [and act] according to all that they think.”
46 A iaduen, komail kin indan ia: Main, Main, ap jota kin wiada, me I kin inda?
“[Because people should obey what their masters tell them], (it is disgraceful that you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you!/why do you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you?) [RHQ]
47 Meamen ko don ia o roneron ai maj an kan, o kapwaiada, nan I pan kajale on komail, me a raj on.
Some people come to me, and hear my messages and obey them. I will tell you what they are like.
48 Nan i me rajon aramaj amen, me kauada im eu o weirada lol, o pajonedi pon paip. A lapake lao pwilido, ad ap maimai on im o, ap jo kak kamokidedala, pwe a kakau pon paip o.
They are like a man who dug deep [into the ground to prepare to build his house]. He made sure that the foundation was on solid ground. Then when there was a flood, the water tried to wash away the house. But the river could not shake the house, because it was built {he built it} on a solid [foundation].
49 A meamen roneron, ap jota kapwaiada, nan a rajon aramaj amen, me kauada im eu nan pwel jo pajonedi. A lapake pwil maiai on, a ap madan ronk pajan, o ola en im o me laud.
But some people hear my messages but do not obey them. They are like a man who built a house on top of the ground without [digging] a foundation. When the river flooded, the house collapsed immediately and was completely ruined. [So it is important for you to obey what I teach you].”
