2Pa inge inen mwet sap singoul luo ah: mwet se meet uh pa Simon (su pangpang Peter), ac Andrew mwet lel; James, ac John mwet lel, su wen natul Zebedee;These are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;

4Simon mwet Zealot; ac Judas Iscariot, su tukakunak Jesus.Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.

5Jesus el supwala mwet singoul luo inge ac fahk nu selos ma elos in oru: “Nimet kowos som nu in kutena acn sin mwet pegan, ku nu in acn sin mwet Samaria.These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go onto the road of the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.

6A kowos in som nu yurin sheep tuhlac lun Israel.Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.

7Kowos som ac luti ac fahk, ‘Tokosrai lun kusrao apkuran me!’As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’

8Akkeyala mwet mas, akmoulyauk mwet misa, aknasnasyela mwet musen lepa, ac lusak ngun fohkfok uh. Kowos eis ku inge ke wangin molo, ouinge kowos in tia pac eis molin ma kowos oru.Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

9Nimet kowos us kutena mani orek ke gold, silver, ku copper in mwe neinyuk mani lowos an.Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts.

10Nimet us kutena pak, ku nuknuk in ayaol, ku fahluk, ku sikal in fahsr lowos an. Tuh fal in itukyang nu sin sie mwet orekma mwe enenu lal.Take no bag for the road, or second tunic, or sandals, or staff; for the worker is worthy of his provisions.

11“Ke kowos tuku nu in sie acn, kowos suk lah ac oasr mwet insewowo in eis kowos, ac muta yorol nwe ke na pacl kowos ac som liki acn sacn.Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy there and stay at his house until you move on.

12Kowos fin utyak nu in sie lohm, paing mwet in lohm sac.As you enter the home, greet its occupants.

13Mwet in lohm sacn fin eis kowos, lela painguk in misla lowos in oan faclos; a elos fin tia eis kowos, na painguk lowos in folok nu fowos.If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it, but if it is not, let your peace return to you.

14Ac fin wangin mwet in lohm sac ku siti sac engan in eis kowos ku lohng mwe luti lowos, na kowos som liki acn sacn, ac osrokla kutkut ye niowos an we.And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.

15Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos lah ke Len in Nununku, God El ac akkalemye pakomuta lal nu sin mwet in acn Sodom ac Gomorrah liki na mwet in acn sac!Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

16“Porongo ma nga fahk inge! Nga supwekowosla oana sheep nu inmasrlon un kosro wolf uh. Kowos in ngusrik oana serpent, ac efahl oana wuleoa uh.Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

17Taran kowos, tuh oasr mwet ac fah sruokkowosi ac uskowosyak nu in nununku, ac elos ac fah sringil kowos in iwen lolngok uh.But beware of men, for they will hand you over to their councils and flog you in their synagogues.

18Ke sripuk, ac fah utukyak kowos in nununkeyuk ye mutun mwet leum ac tokosra, tuh kowos in fahkak Pweng Wo nu selos ac nu sin mwet pegan.On My account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.

19Mwet uh fin uskowosyak nu in nununku, nik kowos fosrngakin kas ma kowos ac fahk, ac lah kowos ac fahk fuka; in pacl sacn, ac fah itukot ma kowos in fahk.But when they hand you over, do not worry about how to respond or what to say. In that hour you will be given what to say.

20Tuh kas su kowos ac fahk uh ac tia kas lowos; ac fah tuku sin Ngun lun Papa tomowos tuh kowos in fahk.For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

21“Mwet uh ac fah sifacna kitala mwet wialos in anwuki, ac papa uh ac fah oru oapana nu sin tulik natulos uh. Tulik ac fah forla lain papa ac nina kialos, ac eisalosyang in anwuki elos.Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.

22Mwet nukewa ac fah kwase kowos ke sripuk. Tusruktu elos nukewa su muteng nwe ke safla, elos fah moul.You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

23Elos fin akkeokye kowos in sie siti, na kowos kaingla nu in sie pacna siti. Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, kowos ac soenna aksafyela orekma lowos in acn Israel a Wen nutin Mwet el ac foloko.When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. Truly I tell you, you will not reach all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

24“Wangin mwet lutlut el fulat liki mwet luti lal; ac wangin mwet kohs el fulat liki leum lal.A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

25Ke ma inge, sie mwet lutlut in falkin el fin sun lupan etu lun mwet luti lal, ac sie mwet kohs in falkin el fin sun lupan ku lun mwet kacto lal. Fin pangpang sifen sou se Beelzebul, mwet in sou lal uh ac fah pangpang ke ine ma koluk liki.It is enough for a disciple to be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!

26“Ke ma inge, nimet kowos sangeng sin mwet uh. Kutena ma su afyufi inge ac fah ikakla, ac ma lukma nukewa ac fah akkalemyeyuk.So do not be afraid of them. For there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

27Ma su nga fahkot nu suwos in lohsr uh, kowos fahkelik in acn kalem; ac kutena ma su kowos lohng in lukma, kowos fahkelik fin mangon lohm uh.What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.

28Nik kowos sangeng selos su ac uniya mano mukena, a elos tia ku in uniya ngun. A kowos in sangeng sin God, su ku in kunausla kewana mano ac ngun in hell.Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

29Tuh kowos ku in molela won sparrow luo ke ipin cent se na, a tia siefanna sin sparrow inge ku in putatla nu infohk uh Papa inkusrao El fin tia lela.Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.

30A funu kowos, finne aunsifowos, oaoala pac tari.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31Ke ma inge, nik kowos sangeng, tuh kowos arulana saok liki won sparrow puspis!So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

32“Mwet se fin fahkak ye mutun mwet uh lah el ma luk, nga ac fah oru oapana nu sel ye mutun Papa tumuk inkusrao.Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven.

33A mwet se fin lafwekinyu ye mutun mwet uh, nga ac fah lafwekunul ye mutun Papa tumuk inkusrao.But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.

34“Nimet nunku mu nga tuku in ase misla nu faclu. Mo, nga tia tuku in ase misla, a sie cutlass.Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

35Nga tuku in oru tuh wen uh in lain papa tumalos, ac acn uh in lain nina kialos, ac mutan payuk uh in lain nina talupalos.For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

36Mwet lokoalok lun sie mwet ac fah mwet na in sou lal uh.A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

37“Kutena mwet su lungse papa tumal ku nina kial yohk likiyu, el tia fal tuh elan mwet tumuk lutlut. Kutena mwet su lungse wen ku acn natul yohk likiyu, el tia fal in mwet tumuk lutlut.Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;

38El su tia srukak sakseng lal ac fahsr tukuk, el tia fal in mwet tumuk lutlut.and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.

39El su suk in molela moul lal, ac fah tuhlac lukel; a el su tuhlac moul lal ke sripuk, fah konauk moul lal.Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

40“El su eis kowos, el eisyu; ac el su eisyu, el eisal su supweyume.He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me.

41El su engan in eis sie mwet tutafpo lun God ke sripen el sie mwet tutafpo, ac fah wi eis molin orekma lun sie mwet tutafpo. Ac el su engan in eis sie mwet wo ke sripen el wo, ac fah wi eis molin orekma wo lal.Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.

42Kowos in etu lah el su sang finne ahlu in kof ohu se nu sin sie su pusisel oemeet sin mwet luk mweyen el fahsr tukuk, pwayena lah el ac fah eis molin orekma lal.”And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.”
