Lukas 11
1 Lao esa, Yesus neu hule-oꞌe. Ana hule-oꞌe basa ma, ana dedenun esa nema noꞌe mbali E nae, “Papa! Yohanis mana saraniꞌ a nanori ana dedꞌenu nara ena, fo hule-oꞌe rahine. Hai o moꞌe fo Papa munori hai dei!”
Once Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples asked him, “Lord, please teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
2 Ma Yesus nae, “Malole boe! Hule-oꞌe taꞌo ia: ‘Ama! Amaꞌ naran meumareꞌ seli. Hela fo atahori soꞌu rananaru Amaꞌ naram manaseliꞌ naa. Hela fo Amaꞌ, dadꞌi Maneꞌ neu basa atahori.
Jesus told them, “When you pray, say, ‘Father, let your name be honored as holy. May your kingdom come.
3 Amaꞌ pala-banggi fee hai nanaat manadꞌaiꞌ tungga-tungga fai.
Give us every day the food we need.
4 Hai moꞌe fo Amaꞌ liliiꞌ hendi hai sala-kilu mara, onaꞌ hai o liliiꞌ atahori sala-kilun fo ara tao neu hai. Amaꞌ munea hai fo hai afiꞌ tao deꞌulakaꞌ.”
Forgive us our sins, just as we forgive everyone who sins against us. Keep us from temptation.’”
5 Basa de Yesus nanori seluꞌ se soꞌal dꞌala hule-oꞌeꞌ. Ana fee nekendandaaꞌ nae, “Onaꞌ neofa ma hambu nonoom esa mia dodꞌooꞌ nema nae numban sia ume ma. Te nda muꞌena saa fo fee ne naa sa boe. Boe ma, muu sia nonoom laen umen, fo akaꞌ moꞌe mia dꞌeaꞌ mae, ‘Aꞌa, e! Fee au roti bꞌueꞌ telu dei! Huu au hambu fuiꞌ sia ume, te au nda uꞌena saa sa boe! Aꞌa, tulun dei! Bꞌue teluꞌ a! Dei fo au nggati!”
Jesus went on to tell them, “Say you have a friend and you go to him in the middle of the night and ask, ‘My friend, lend me three loaves of bread
because a friend of mine has come to visit me, and I don't have any food to give him.’
7 Neꞌo nonoom nataa nggo nae, ‘Te aꞌa fai, o! Atahori mana sungguꞌ masambetaꞌ ra o, aꞌa nema ngganggu fai! Lelesu ra mana nggoe nisaꞌ ena, ia! Ana kara mana sungguꞌ masambetaꞌ ena. Afiꞌ mumunasa, e! Te faiꞌ ruma dei, aꞌa!’
Your friend in the house might reply, ‘Don't bother me—I've already locked the door, and I and my children have gone to bed. I can't get up to give you anything now.’
8 Mae onaꞌ naa o, musunedꞌa malolole. Itaꞌ mae atahori naa nda fela fo fee nggo sa o, huu ho eni nonoon, de mete ma akaꞌ moꞌe mukundondoꞌ a na, dei fo ana fela fo fee nggo.
I tell you, even though he refuses to get up and give you anything, despite you being his friend, if you are persistent, your friend will get up and give you everything you need.
9 Onaꞌ naa boe, no hule-oꞌeꞌ a. Moꞌe mukundondoꞌ a neu Lamatuaꞌ; dei fo Ana fee. Sangga mukundooꞌ a; dei fo Ana natudꞌu dalaꞌ. Mumeli mukundooꞌ a; dei fo Ana soi lelesu a.
I tell you: ask, and you shall receive; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.
10 Huu basa atahori mana roꞌe rakandooꞌ a neu Lamatualain, dei fo ara simbo. Mana sangga nakandooꞌ ra, dei fo ara hambu. Mana nameli nakandooꞌ ra, dei fo Ana soi lelesu a.
For everyone who asks, receives; and everyone who seeks, finds; and to everyone who knocks the door will be opened.
11 Hei duꞌa sobꞌa! Hambu sia bee, amaꞌ sa, mete ma anan noꞌe uꞌu, na, ana fee ne mengge?
Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, would give him a snake instead?
12 Do, mete ma anan noꞌe manuteloꞌ, na, ana fee uraꞌ? Nda bisa taꞌo naa sa, to?
Or if he asks for an egg, would you give him a scorpion?
13 Atahori memaꞌ deꞌulakaꞌ. Te hei Amam sia sorga, Netehun maloleꞌ tebꞌe. Dadꞌi mete ma atahori deꞌulakaꞌ onaꞌ hei, te hii fee sudꞌiꞌ saa maloleꞌ neu ana mara, saa fai Amaꞌ! Ana nda feeꞌ a saa fo hei parluꞌ a, te lenaꞌ naa fai, Ana fee Dula-dꞌale Meumaren neu atahori mana noꞌe mbali E.”
So if you, even though you are evil, still know to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
14 Lao esa, Yesus oi nitur mia atahori esa nda mana bꞌale nalaꞌ sa. Oi basa ma, atahori naa olaꞌ nalaꞌ neuꞌ ena. Atahori mana sia naa ra heran bali-baliꞌ.
Jesus was driving out a demon that had made a man dumb. When the demon had left, the man who was dumb spoke, and the crowds were amazed.
15 Te hambu ruma rae, “Memaꞌ, Ana bisa oi nitur! Huu Ana hambu koasa mia nitu ra malanggan, naeni Balsebul.”
But some of them said, “He is driving out demons using the power of Beelzebub, the ruler of demons.”
16 Atahori laen ra rae sobꞌa Yesus. De ara roꞌe fo Ana tao seluꞌ manadadꞌiꞌ esa fai fo natudꞌu neu sira oi, Eni koasan memaꞌ mia Lamatuaꞌ.
Others were trying to test Jesus by demanding a miraculous sign from heaven.
17 Te Yesus nahine dudꞌuꞌa deꞌulaka nara ena. Boe ma Ana olaꞌ nae, “Mete ma sia nusa monaeꞌ sa, rauinggu nara ratofa, neꞌo nusa monaeꞌ naa nambalutu. Onaꞌ naa boe, mete ma sia ume sa rala, ume isi nara akaꞌ rareresi esa no esa, na, neꞌo ume-loo naa nda dadꞌi maloleꞌ sa ena!
Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Any kingdom divided against itself will be destroyed. A family divided against itself will fall.
18 Dadꞌi mete ma nitu ra akaꞌ ratofa, ma esa oi esa, na, sira malanggan nda hambu toꞌu parendaꞌ dooꞌ sa ena! De nda masoꞌ dudꞌuꞌat sa, mete ma hei mae Au oi nitur endiꞌ nitur koasan!
If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? You say that I cast out demons using the power of Beelzebub.
19 Misinedꞌa, e! Hei atahori mara o oi rahine nitu ra boe. Ara oi rendiꞌ nitur koasan do? Hokoꞌ, to! Dadꞌi ama afiꞌ olaꞌ leliꞌ mae, Au oi nitu ra endiꞌ nitur koasan. Dei fo atahori mara raꞌetuꞌ rae, saa fo hei mifadꞌeꞌ naa, sala.
But if I drive out demons by the power of Beelzebub, by whose power do your own people drive them out? They themselves will condemn you as wrong!
20 Te mete ma Au oi nitu ra endiꞌ Lamatualain koasan, naa natudꞌu oi, Lamatuaꞌ parendan sia hei mata mara ena. Sia, te hei onaꞌ nda bubꞌuluꞌ sa.
However, if I am driving out demons by the power of God, then this proves God's kingdom has arrived. It's right here among you!
21 Mete ma atahori maꞌadꞌereꞌ sa toꞌu sisiro dii-onaꞌ, fo nanea malolole umen, neꞌo eni sudꞌiꞌ a saa nara nda mopo sa.
When a strong man who is fully armed guards his house, all he owns is safe.
22 Te dei fo hambu atahori maꞌadꞌereꞌ lenaꞌ e fai, nema tao nasenggiꞌ e, ma rambas nala atahori naa sisiro nara. Basa ma, ana amba-ao nendi basa atahori naa hata-heto nara de neu babꞌanggi fee ana dedenun nara. Dꞌoo basa ia ena atahori maꞌadꞌereꞌ kaesan namahere sisiron. Te ia naa ana nda namahena sisiron sa ena.
But if a stronger man comes and defeats him, taking from him all his weapons that he depended on, then he can carry off all his possessions.
23 Misinedꞌa malolole! Atahori nda mana naꞌabꞌue no Au sa, eni, labꞌan Au. Boe ma atahori nda mana tulun Au sia ue-tataos nggara sa, na, atahori naa kai-baaꞌ a.”
Anyone who is not with me is against me, and anyone who doesn't build together with me is breaking it all apart.
24 Yesus olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Mete ma hita oi hendi nitu mia atahori sa, ana nisiꞌ mamana rouꞌ fo sangga mamana hahaeꞌ. Huu ana nda hambu mamanaꞌ sa, boe ma ana duꞌa nae, ‘Hee! Nda hambu mamanaꞌ sa, de malole lenaꞌ au heoꞌ baliꞌ isiꞌ atahori dalahulun.’
When an evil spirit leaves someone, it goes through the desert looking for a place to stay. When it doesn't find anywhere, it says, ‘I'll return to the house I left.’
25 Basa ma ana baliꞌ, te neu hambu mamanaꞌ naa, meuꞌ ma nene mbeda-nggao maloleꞌ ena.
When it returns, it finds its old home is swept and tidy.
26 Boe ma nitu a neu noꞌe nonoon hitu fai, deꞌulaka nara lena e fai, de basa se reu leo sia atahori naa. De aleꞌ ia atahori naa masodꞌan boe hambu sosoeꞌ.”
So it goes and finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there. In the end that man is worse off than before.”
27 Leleꞌ Yesus feꞌe ola-olaꞌ no atahori naeꞌ naa ra, hambu inaꞌ sa nameli sia naa nae, “Mama ma uanalen maloleꞌ, huu ana mana bꞌonggi ma nasusu Nggo!”
As he was speaking, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the womb from where you came and the breasts that nursed you.”
28 Yesus nataa nae, “Tebꞌe, mama! Te mana hambu uanale maloleꞌ lenaꞌ, naeni atahori mana pasa ndikin fo rena Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌolan, ma tao tungga!”
But Jesus said, “Even more blessed are those who hear God's word, and follow what it says.”
29 Leleꞌ Yesus feꞌe ola-olaꞌ, atahori hetar heo rala E. Boe ma Ana olaꞌ nae, “Atahori aleꞌ ia ra rahine taoꞌ a deꞌulakaꞌ ra. Ara akaꞌ roꞌe fo Au tao manadadꞌi manaseliꞌ fee se, fo rahine Au ia, tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ Lamatuaꞌ atahorin. Tao-tao te feꞌesaꞌan Lamatuaꞌ tao manadadꞌi manaseliꞌ fee se nendiꞌ mana ola-olan Yunus. Naa dai ena!
As people crowded around him, Jesus began telling them, “This is an evil generation for it's looking for some miraculous sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.
30 Maꞌahulun, Yunus nafadꞌe atahori kota Niniwe nae, ara musi dꞌoaꞌ dei. Naa, saa mana dadꞌi neu Yunus leleꞌ naa, dadꞌi bukti fee neu se oi, Lamatualain mana denu e. Au, Atahori Matetuꞌ ia, o taꞌo naa boe. Au uma ufadꞌe nggi, fo ama musi dꞌoaꞌ dei. Ma saa mana nae dadꞌi sia Au, dadꞌi bukti fee atahori oras ia oi, memaꞌ Lamatualain mana denu Au.
In the same way that Jonah was a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of man be a sign to this generation.
31 Dei fo sia fai mateteꞌen, mete ma Lamatuaꞌ dadꞌi mana Maꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat, dei fo ina maneꞌ mana nema mia ona nema, nasodꞌa baliꞌ, fo nambariiꞌ dadꞌi sakasii. Ana dudꞌu fo fua salaꞌ neu basa hei mana masodꞌaꞌ oras ia nae, ‘Basa hei ia ra, nggoaꞌ!’ Feꞌesaꞌan ina maneꞌ naa nema mia dodꞌooꞌ fo nita no matan mane Soleman mahinen. Tao-tao te, ia naa hambu Atahori sia taladꞌam mara, manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ mane Soleman. Te hei nda nau tao-afiꞌ mbei neu E sa boe.
The queen of the south will rise in the judgment together with the people of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear Solomon's wisdom, and now there is someone greater than Solomon here!
32 Nda akaꞌ mesaꞌ ne sa! Dei fo atahori mia Niniwe ra o fela rambariiꞌ fo dudꞌu hei mana feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ oras ia rae, ‘Basa hei, nggoaꞌ ra!’ Ara olaꞌ taꞌo naa, huu faiꞌ naa, leleꞌ Yunus neu nafadꞌe Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun, ma ara dꞌoaꞌ reuꞌ ena. Tao-tao te, oras ia Atahori manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ Yunus, sia hei taladꞌam, te hei nda dꞌoaꞌ sa boe!”
The people of Nineveh rise in the judgment together with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented when they heard Jonah's message, and now there's someone greater than Jonah here!
33 Yesus tute seluꞌ oꞌolan nae, “Atahori rambilaꞌ lambu tiioek, boe ma mbedꞌaꞌ e sia mamana naruꞌ ata, fo ana tao manggarelo kama naa fee neu basa atahori mana rala reu. Nda hambu atahori rambilaꞌ lambu, basa ma tatana e rendiꞌ bꞌoa, fo funi e. Naa nda naꞌena nggunaꞌ saa sa boe.
No one lights a lamp and then hides it or places it under a bowl. No, you put it on a lamp stand so that those who come into the house can see the light.
34 Hei mata mara o onaꞌ lambu boe. Ana tao manggarelo hei rala mara. Mete ma mataꞌ a maꞌahatuꞌ, na atahori mete basaꞌ e no rala deꞌulakaꞌ. Te mete ma mataꞌ a manggareloꞌ, na atahori mete basaꞌ e no rala maloleꞌ.
Your eye is the light for your body. When your eye is good, your whole body is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body is in the dark.
35 Tao malolole fo manggareloꞌ mana sia rala mara, dadꞌi manggareloꞌ seli, onaꞌ relo a rondan. Rondaꞌ mana sia ralam naa, afiꞌ onaꞌ fulan rondan, fo titaꞌ a salaoꞌ.
So make sure the light you have in you is not actually darkness.
36 Mete ma rala mara manggareloꞌ, losa nda hambu sosodꞌaꞌ esa maꞌahatuꞌ sa boe, na basa masodꞌa mara manggareloꞌ, onaꞌ lambu monaeꞌ fee manggareloꞌ neu masodꞌa mara”.
If your whole body is full of light, with no areas of darkness, then it will be completely illuminated, just as a bright lamp gives you light.”
37 Yesus olaꞌ basa ma, atahori esa mia partei agama Farisi ra noꞌe E fo nema naa sia umen. Losa naa ma, Yesus ume rala neu de neu endoꞌ sia mei nanaaꞌ a.
After Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to come and eat with him. So Jesus went and sat down to a meal.
38 Tenu umeꞌ a ndindiꞌ a mete Yesus endoꞌ naa, te nda safe liman naꞌahuluꞌ tungga atahori Farisi ra hohoro-lalanen sa.
The Pharisee was surprised that Jesus didn't wash his hands before eating as ceremonially required.
39 Basa ma Yesus nafadꞌe e nae, “Hei atahori Farisi ra manaseliꞌ! Hei toꞌu mihereꞌ hei agamam hohoro-lalanen! Hei misinedꞌa safe mimeuꞌ a pinggaꞌ ma nggalas ra dean na losa nakahahadꞌok, te nda misinedꞌa tao mimeu rala manggenggeo mara, mana deꞌulakaꞌ ma bare-naꞌo seli.
So the Lord told him, “You Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you're full of greed and wickedness.
40 Manggonggoaꞌ, e! Afiꞌ liliiꞌ. Lamatualain mana tao deaꞌ ma ralaꞌ boe.
You're so foolish! Don't you think the one who made the outside made the inside as well?
41 Te malole lenaꞌ, hei fee atahori mana toꞌa-taaꞌ ra mia saa fo hei enam, naa fo hei bisa meumareꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ matan.
If, acting from within, you do acts of kindness to others, then everything will be clean to you.
42 Hei atahori Farisi ra! Dei fo hei hambu sosoeꞌ! Soꞌal fee Lamatuaꞌ babꞌanggi esa mia babꞌanggiꞌ sanahulu, hei reken no matetuꞌ basaꞌ e, anak-moko. Losa hei bꞌumbu huu anaꞌ mia osi o, hei reken mates! Te hei nda taoafiꞌ neu saa fo nggunan seli sa. Soꞌal susueꞌ neu Lamatualain, ma dala ndoo-tetuꞌ a, hei liliiꞌ hendi se neuꞌ ena! Memaꞌ hita musi fee takandoo neu Lamatuaꞌ, Eni hahambun, te afiꞌ liliiꞌ hendi dala-dalaꞌ fo nggunan lenaꞌ ra.
Shame on you Pharisees! You pay tithe on herbs and plants, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You need to pay attention to the latter, while not leaving the former things undone.
43 Dei fo hei hambu sosoeꞌ! Huu hei hiiꞌ a sangga mamana meulauꞌ sia ume hule-oꞌeꞌ, ma hiiꞌ a sangga hadꞌa-hormat sia atahori hetar matan.
Shame on you Pharisees! You love to have the best seats in the synagogues, and to be greeted with respect when you go to the markets.
44 Dei fo hei hambu sosoeꞌ! Hei onaꞌ rates, rae na tetuꞌ ena. Atahori laoꞌ sia naa, te nda rahine rae, sia naa hambu rates sa, huu sia rates ata rae a meuꞌ, te sia ralan maꞌafo mburu. Tao-tao te, tungga hita adꞌat na, atahori mana tabꞌu rates tao nanggenggeo aon, de nda nandaa ume hule-oꞌeꞌ rala neu sa. Hei atahori Farisi ra onaꞌ rates naa boe! Sia deaꞌ hei meu mara seli. Te rala mara sofeꞌ no manamburuꞌ.”
Shame on you! You are like unmarked graves that people walk over without knowing.”
45 Hambu mahine hukun Yahudi esa sia naa, nggaso Yesus oꞌolan nae, “Ama Meser! Amaꞌ dedꞌea-oꞌolam faaꞌ ra naa, dai hai boe!”
One of the experts in religious law reacted, saying, “Teacher, when you talk like this, you're insulting us too!”
46 Yesus nataa e nae, “Tebꞌe! Hei mana mihine hukun Yahudi re, hela fo ama hambu sosoeꞌ boe! Hei nda tulufali atahori ma tao minggafa masodꞌa nara sa, te ama boe tao miꞌisususaꞌ se no agamam hohoro-lalane mamabꞌera mara. Ma fee se lemba hei hohoro-lalane mataꞌ-mataꞌ mara. Te hei nda tulun lemba sobꞌa mamabꞌeraꞌ naa no lima uꞌu mara esa sa boe!
Jesus replied, “Shame on you lawyers too! You place burdens on people that are too hard to carry, but you don't lift a finger to help them.
47 Dei fo hei hambu sususaꞌ! Huu hei mbute-mue mifefela rii fatuꞌ fee Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-ola dalahulu nara fo fee hadꞌa-hormat neu se. Tao-tao te, hei bei-baꞌi mara mana tao risa mana ola-olaꞌ naa ra!
Shame on you! You build memorial tombs to honor the prophets, but it was your own fathers who killed them in the first place!
48 Hei o eiꞌ esa mo bei-baꞌi mara boe. Ara nda simbo Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-ola nara, ma tao risa se. Basa ma hei lutu-mbatu rates fee mana ola-olaꞌ ra, fo dadꞌi bukti oi, hei o tungga bei-baꞌi mara boe.
By doing this you are witnesses showing that you agree with what your fathers did. They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs!
49 Huu naa, Lamatualain fo mana nahine basaꞌ e, olaꞌ nita nae, ‘Dei fo Au denu mana ola-ola ngga ra ro dedenuꞌ laen ra fo reu sia atahori Israꞌel ra. Basa ma, atahori naa ra tao doidꞌoso ruma, ma tao risa ruma.’
This is why God in his wisdom said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some they will kill, and others they will persecute.’
50 Atahori mana rasodꞌa aleꞌ ia, musi lemba-dꞌoi atahori mana tao risa Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-ola nara. Naa reken mia Lamatuaꞌ tao raefafoꞌ ia, eniꞌ a Habel mamaten, losa maꞌabꞌui oe-oeꞌ a, Sakaria. Eni ia, fo risa sia mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ a no Kama Meumareꞌ a taladꞌan, sia Lamatualain Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ na. Hei o lemba mala huhuku-dodꞌoki nara boe!
Consequently, this generation will be held accountable for the blood of all the prophets shed from the beginning of the world,
from the blood of Abel right up to the blood of Zachariah who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held accountable for all of it.
52 Hei mana mihine hukun Yahudi ra e! Dei fo ama hambu sosoeꞌ! Huu hei mana toꞌu nggoeꞌ fo soi lelesu fo atahori hambu rahine malolole Lamatualain hihii-nanaun. Te hei nda masoꞌ naa mii sa. Deꞌulakan lenaꞌ fai, hei bꞌambi mala atahori, fo ara nda bisa masoꞌ naa reu sa!”
Shame on you lawyers! You have removed the key of knowledge. You didn't go in yourselves, and you prevented others from going in too.”
53 Leleꞌ Yesus olaꞌ basa ma, meser agama ro atahori Farisi ra ramue E. Eniꞌ a leleꞌ naa, ara akaꞌ ratane mataꞌ-mataꞌ fo rae teꞌe-sii raꞌatutudꞌaꞌ E. Ara sangga dalaꞌ rakandondooꞌ a fo tao nemuet ro E.
As Jesus was leaving, the religious teachers and the Pharisees began to attack him aggressively, asking questions to provoke him.
They were hoping to catch him out, trying to get him to say something they could use against him.
