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 at a certain place praying, and, when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him: “Master, teach us to pray, 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.
“When you pray,” Jesus answered, “say — ‘Father, May thy name be held holy, thy Kingdom come.
3 Amaꞌ pala-banggi fee hai nanaat manadꞌaiꞌ tungga-tungga fai.
Give us each day the bread that we shall 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.”
and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive every one who wrongs us; and take us not into 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 also said to them: “Suppose that one of you who has a friend were to go to him in the middle of the night and say ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,
for a friend of mine has arrived at my house after a journey, and I have nothing to offer 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!’
And suppose that the other should answer from inside ‘Do not trouble me; the door is already fastened, and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you 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 tell you that, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is a friend, yet because of his persistence he will rouse himself and give him what he wants.
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.
And so I say to you — Ask, and your prayer shall be granted: search, 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 he that asks receives, he that searches finds, and to him that knocks the door shall be opened.
11 Hei duꞌa sobꞌa! Hambu sia bee, amaꞌ sa, mete ma anan noꞌe uꞌu, na, ana fee ne mengge?
What father among you, if his son asks him for a fish, will 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, will 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.”
If you, then, naturally wicked though you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those that 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.
Once Jesus was driving out a dumb demon, and, when the demon had gone out, the dumb man spoke. The people were amazed at this;
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 drives out demons by the help of Baal-zebub, the chief of the 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.
while others, to test him, asked him for some sign from the heavens.
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 himself, however, was aware of what they were thinking, and said to them: “Any kingdom wholly divided against itself becomes a desolation; and a divided house falls.
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!
So, too, if Satan is wholly divided against himself, how can his kingdom last? Yet you say that I drive out demons by the help of Baal-zebub.
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 it is by Baal-zebub’s help that I drive out demons, by whose help is it that your own sons drive them out? Therefore they shall themselves be your judges.
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, if it is by the hand of God that I drive out demons, then the Kingdom of God must already be upon 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 is keeping guard, fully armed, over his own mansion, his property is in safety;
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 one still stronger has attacked and overpowered him, he takes away all the weapons on which the other had relied, and divides his spoil.
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.”
He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not help me to gather is scattering.
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.’
No sooner does a foul spirit leave a man, than it passes through places where there is no water, in search of rest; and finding none, it says ‘I will go back to the home which I left’;
25 Basa ma ana baliꞌ, te neu hambu mamanaꞌ naa, meuꞌ ma nene mbeda-nggao maloleꞌ ena.
but, on coming there, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order.
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 it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in, and make their home there; and the last state of that man proves to be worse than the first.”
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 Jesus was saying this, a woman in the crowd, raising her voice, exclaimed: “Happy was the mother who bore you and 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 replied: “Rather, happy are those who listen to God’s Message and keep 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!
As the crowds increased, Jesus began to speak: “This generation is a wicked generation. It is asking a sign, but no sign shall be given 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.
For, as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so shall the Son of Man be 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.
At the Judgment the Queen of the South will rise up with the men of this generation, and will condemn them, because she came from the very ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon; and here is more than a Solomon!
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!”
At the Judgment the men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation, and will condemn it, because they repented at Jonah’s proclamation; and here is more than a Jonah!
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 sets light to a lamp, and then puts it in the cellar or under the corn-measure, but he puts it on the lamp-stand, so that any one who comes in may 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.
The lamp of the body is your eye. When your eye is unclouded, your whole body, also, is lit up; but, as soon as your eye is diseased, your body, also, is darkened.
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.
Take care, therefore, that the inner Light is not 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, then, your whole body is lit up, and no corner of it darkened, the whole will be lit up, just as when a lamp gives you light by its brilliance.”
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.
As Jesus finished speaking, a Pharisee asked him to breakfast with him, and Jesus went in and took his place at table.
38 Tenu umeꞌ a ndindiꞌ a mete Yesus endoꞌ naa, te nda safe liman naꞌahuluꞌ tungga atahori Farisi ra hohoro-lalanen sa.
The Pharisee noticed, to his astonishment, that Jesus omitted the ceremonial washing before breakfast.
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.
But the Master said to him: “You Pharisees do, it is true, clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside you yourselves are filled with greed and wickedness.
40 Manggonggoaꞌ, e! Afiꞌ liliiꞌ. Lamatualain mana tao deaꞌ ma ralaꞌ boe.
Fools! did not the maker of the outside make the inside too?
41 Te malole lenaꞌ, hei fee atahori mana toꞌa-taaꞌ ra mia saa fo hei enam, naa fo hei bisa meumareꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ matan.
Only give away what is in them in charity, and at once you have the whole clean.
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 alas for you Pharisees! You pay tithes on mint, rue, and herbs of all kinds, and pass over justice and love to God. These last you ought to have put into practice without neglecting the first.
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.
Alas for you Pharisees! You delight to have the front seat in the Synagogues, and to be greeted in the markets with respect.
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.”
Alas for you! You are like unsuspected graves, over which men walk unawares.”
45 Hambu mahine hukun Yahudi esa sia naa, nggaso Yesus oꞌolan nae, “Ama Meser! Amaꞌ dedꞌea-oꞌolam faaꞌ ra naa, dai hai boe!”
Here one of the Students of the Law interrupted him by saying: “Teacher, when you say this, you are insulting 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!
But Jesus went on: “Alas for you, too, you Students of the Law! You load men with loads that are too heavy to carry, but do not, yourselves, touch them with one of your fingers.
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!
Alas for you! You build the monuments of the Prophets whom your ancestors killed.
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.
You are actually witnesses to your ancestors’ acts and show your approval of them, because, while they killed the Prophets, you build tombs for them.
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.’
That is why the Wisdom of God said — “I will send to them Prophets and Apostles,
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!
some of whom they will persecute and kill, in order that the ‘blood’ of all the prophets ‘that has been spilt’ since the creation of the world may be exacted from this generation —
From the blood of Abel down to the blood of Zechariah, who was slain between the altar and the House of God.” Yes, I tell you, it will be exacted from this generation.
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!”
Alas for you Students of the Law! You have taken away the key of the door of Knowledge. You have not gone in yourselves and you have hindered those who try to go in.”
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.
When Jesus left the house, the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees began to press him hard and question him closely upon many subjects,
laying traps for him, so as to seize upon anything that he might say.
