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!”
One day Jesus was somewhere praying. When he finished [praying], one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us [what to say when] we [(exc)] pray, as John [the Baptizer] 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.
He said to them, “When you pray, say [things like this]: ‘Father, we want you [(sg)] [MTY] to be honored/revered. [We want people to let you(sg)] [MTY, MET] rule over their lives.
3 Amaꞌ pala-banggi fee hai nanaat manadꞌaiꞌ tungga-tungga fai.
Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that 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 [for] the wrong things that we have done, because we forgive people for the wrong things that they do to us. Do not let us do wrong things when we are tempted {[someone or something] tempts us}.’”
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!”
Then he said to them, “Suppose that one of you goes to the house of a friend at midnight. Suppose that you [(sg) stand outside and] call out to him, ‘My friend, please lend me three buns!
Another friend of mine who is traveling has just arrived [at my house], but I have no food [ready] to give to 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!’
Suppose that he answers you from inside [his house], ‘Do not bother me! The door has been locked {[We(exc)] have locked the door} and all my family are in bed. [So] I cannot get up and give you [(sg)] anything!’
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 will tell you that even if he does not [want to] get up and give you [any food], to avoid being ashamed [for not helping you] because you are his friend (OR, if without being ashamed you continue asking him to do that), he certainly will get up and give you whatever 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.
So I tell you this: Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you [(pl)]. Confidently keep expecting [God to give you the things that you need], and [he] will give them to you [MET]. [It will be like] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying urgently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] knocking [on a door] so that [God] will open [the way] for you [to get what you pray for].
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.
Remember that [God] will give things to everyone who continues to ask [him for them]. [He] will give things to whoever confidently keeps asking. [He] will open [the way] for people [to get the things that they keep urgently praying for].
11 Hei duꞌa sobꞌa! Hambu sia bee, amaꞌ sa, mete ma anan noꞌe uꞌu, na, ana fee ne mengge?
If one of you had a son who asked you [(sg)] for a fish [to eat], (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a [poisonous] snake instead!/would you give him a [poisonous] snake instead?) [RHQ]
12 Do, mete ma anan noꞌe manuteloꞌ, na, ana fee uraꞌ? Nda bisa taꞌo naa sa, to?
If he asked you for an egg, (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a scorpion!/would you give him a scorpion?) [RHQ]
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.”
Even though you people are evil, you know how to give good things to your children. So your Father in heaven will certainly [give good things] to those who ask him, [including] giving the Holy Spirit, [who is the best gift].”
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.
[One day there was a man there who, because a demon controlled him] [MTY], was unable to speak. After [Jesus expelled] the demon, the man [began to] talk. [Most of] the people [there] 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, “It is Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons, who enables [this man] to expel 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.
Other [people there] asked Jesus to perform a miracle [to prove (he was the Messiah/that he had come] from God) [MTY/EUP]. They wanted to trap him [into not being able to perform a miracle or into doing something ridiculous].
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!
But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, “If [the people in] one nation fight against each other, their nation will be destroyed {[they] will destroy their nation}. If [the people in] [MTY] one house are divided, they will cease to remain as one [family].
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!
[Similarly], if Satan [and his demons] were fighting against each other, (his rule over them would [certainly] not last!/how would his rule over them last?) [RHQ] [I say this] because you are saying that I am expelling demons by [the power of] the ruler of [his own demons]
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.
Furthermore, if [it is true that] Satan enables me to expel demons, [is it also true that] your disciples [who] expel demons [do so] by [Satan’s] power [RHQ]? [No, that is not true]. So they will show that you [are not thinking logically].
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.
But because it is by the power [MTY] of God [that I expel demons], I am showing you [that the power of] God to [MET] rule [people’s lives] has come to you.”
21 Mete ma atahori maꞌadꞌereꞌ sa toꞌu sisiro dii-onaꞌ, fo nanea malolole umen, neꞌo eni sudꞌiꞌ a saa nara nda mopo sa.
Then, [to show that by expelling evil spirits he was making it clear that he was much more powerful than Satan, Jesus said] [MET], “When a strong man who has many weapons guards his own house, no one can steal the things in his house.
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 when someone else who is stronger attacks that man and subdues him, he is able to take away the weapons in which the man trusted. Then he can take from that man’s house anything he [wants to].
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.”
[No one can be neutral]. Those who do not help me [are opposing] me, and those who do not gather [people to become] my [disciples] are causing [those people] to go away [from me].”
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.’
[Then Jesus said this]: “[Sometimes when] an evil spirit leaves someone, it wanders around in desolate areas seeking [someone in whom it can] rest. If it does not find anyone, it says [to itself], ‘I will return to the person in whom I used to live!’
25 Basa ma ana baliꞌ, te neu hambu mamanaꞌ naa, meuꞌ ma nene mbeda-nggao maloleꞌ ena.
So it goes back and finds that [the Spirit of God is not in control of that person’s life. The person’s life is like] a house that has been {that someone has} swept clean and everything put {put everything} in order, [but a house that is empty].
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.”
Then [this evil spirit] goes and gets seven other spirits that are [even] more evil than it is. They [all] enter [that person] and [begin] living there. [So], [although] that person’s condition [was bad] before, it became much worse.”
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!”
When Jesus said that, a woman who was listening called out [to him], “[God is] pleased with the woman who gave birth to you [(sg)] and let you nurse [at her breasts]!”
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 he replied, “God [is] much more pleased with those who hear his message and obey it!”
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!
When the group of people around [Jesus] got larger, he said, “[Many of] you people who have been observing my ministry are evil. You want [me to perform] a miracle [to prove that I have come from God], but the only miracle that [I] will perform for you is one [like happened to] 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.
[After Jonah was inside a huge fish for three days, God performed] a miracle [to restore] Jonah. [Jonah then went and testified about that] to the people in Nineveh [city. God will perform] a similar miracle [for me], the one who came from heaven. [When you people have seen that miracle, you will believe my message].
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.
[Long ago the] queen from [Sheba], [far] south [of Israel, traveled a long distance to hear Solomon speak many] wise things. But now [I, a man] who [is much] greater [and wiser] than Solomon, am here, [but you have not listened to what I have told you]. Therefore, at the time when [God] judges [all people], the queen from [Sheba] will stand there, [along] with you people, and will condemn you.
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 who lived in Nineveh [city] turned from their sinful ways when Jonah preached to them. But now I, who am greater than Jonah, have come [and preached to you], [but you have not turned from your sinful ways]. Therefore, at the time when God judges [all people], the people who lived in Nineveh will stand there with you and condemn you.”
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.
[Then, to show them that they did not need more miracles, but that they needed only to understand better what he had already told them, he said to them] [MET], “People who light a lamp do not then hide it, or put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on a lampstand so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light. [Similarly, I have not concealed God’s truth. I have revealed it to you].
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 eyes [MET] are like a lamp for your body, because they enable you to see things. If your eyes are healthy, you are able to see everything well [MET]. [Similarly, if you(sg) accept my teaching, you will be able to know all that God wants you to know]. But if your eyes are bad, you are not able to see anything. It is like being in darkness [MET]. [And similarly, if you(pl) do not accept what I teach, you will not be able to know all the things that God wants you to know].
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.
Therefore, [you(pl) do not need to see more miracles. You need to think carefully about what I have already] told you, so that the things that you have heard from others do not cause you to remain in spiritual darkness [MET].
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 you [live completely according to God’s truth, you will be able to know everything that God wants you to know. It will be like] being in a room with a lamp shining brightly, enabling you to see everything clearly.”
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.
While Jesus finished saying those things, a Pharisee invited him to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to [his house] and ate with him.
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 when he saw that Jesus did not follow the Pharisees’ ritual by washing his hands before eating. [The Pharisees washed their hands in a certain way to be cleansed from anything that might have contaminated them. They were afraid that God might reject them if they] had [touched something unacceptable to God].
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.
The Lord [Jesus] said to him, “You Pharisees are [concerned about things that are outside your bodies, not with what is in your] ([inner beings/hearts]) [MET]. You wash the outside of cups and dishes [before you eat because you think that doing that will make you acceptable to God], but within yourselves you are very greedy and wicked.
40 Manggonggoaꞌ, e! Afiꞌ liliiꞌ. Lamatualain mana tao deaꞌ ma ralaꞌ boe.
You foolish people! [God] is concerned about things that are outside [our bodies], but (he is certainly also concerned about our inner [beings]!/isn’t he also concerned about our hearts?) [RHQ]
41 Te malole lenaꞌ, hei fee atahori mana toꞌa-taaꞌ ra mia saa fo hei enam, naa fo hei bisa meumareꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ matan.
Give [money] to those who are poor. [Give according to what you know within] your (inner [/heart]) [that you should give]. Then you [will be surprised to realize that] you will be acceptable [to God without having to perform all those rituals about washing].
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.
But there will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees! You give to God a tenth of [all you produce, even] the various herbs that you grow, but you do not [remember that you must act] justly [toward others] and love God! It is good to [give a tenth of your income to God], but you ought to do these other things also!
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.
There will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees, because you like [to sit in] the best seats in our worship places [so that people will think highly of you], and you like people to greet you [respectfully] in the marketplaces.
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.”
There will be terrible punishment for you, because you are like ground where there is no marker [to indicate that there is a] grave [underneath]. People walk there, but they cannot see [what is rotten down below] [MET]! [Similarly, people who see you do not realize how polluted you are within yourselves].”
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 those who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, by saying this you [(sg)] are criticizing us [also]!”
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 said, “It will be terrible also for you who teach the [Jewish] laws! You require people [to obey many rules that are difficult to obey] [MET]. [That is like making them] carry heavy burdens on their backs. But you yourselves do not obey the laws [that you require others to obey]. (OR, you do not do anything to help [others to obey the laws].)
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!
There will be terrible punishment for you! You decorate the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed, [but you do not live according to what the prophets taught].
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.
So you are declaring that you approve of what your ancestors did. They killed the prophets, and you [are not honoring the prophets! You just] decorate 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.’
So God, who is very wise [PRS], said, ‘I will send prophets and apostles [to you Jews]. [You] will kill some of them and cause some of them to suffer greatly.
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!
[As a result, I] will consider that many of you people [who have observed my Son’s ministry] will be guilty [MTY] [of murder, as if you had] killed all the prophets that other people have killed, from the time I created the world,
starting from [Adam’s son Cain] killing [his brother] Abel and continuing until they killed the prophet Zechariah [in the holy place] between the altar and the temple.’ Yes, what I am saying [is true] [MTY]. [God] will punish you people who have observed my ministry, you people whom [he] considers to be guilty [MTY] for [killing] all those prophets!
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!”
There will be terrible punishment for you men who teach the [Jewish] laws, because you have [not let people] know [God’s truth] [MET]! [It is as though you are] taking away a key [to a house]. You are not going into [the house] yourselves, and you are not letting other people enter it, either.”
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.
After Jesus finished saying those things, he left there. Then the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees began to act in a very hostile way toward him. They tried to make him say what he thought about many things.
They kept waiting for him to say something [wrong] for which they could accuse him.
