Matthew 12 (LGA)

1Ego na totoso isa sa sa rerege jola vei pa kai inuma vuiti na rane Minere si Jisu. Ko ira na ona sepele sa vairia na burana ko qai podalai ravusu teku vuiti ko qai kole ngojagadia.At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them.

2Ko tonai qai batiria qai roiti vei, poni sa ira na Parese pira qarigunia si Jisu, <<Doro! Ira na sepele tamu sa qai roitinia sa na roiti sake tavamalumu ko mina taroiti na rane Minere!>> qarigu sira.When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”

3Poni sa oe laoria i Jisu sira, <<Ai vei qu oqoro tiroamiu tu agou sisa na roiti sa roitinia i Devita beto ira na ona tinoni totonai qai burana ira?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Na vavakatona isa sa sa tomea i Devita sa na ruma tana Tamasa ko sa gania sa na bereti madina, isa sake vamalumia na Vavanau ko mina gania isa babi ira qai tutia goto ira gu na iama qai tavamalumunia.He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for them to eat, but only for the priests.

5Beto quke tiroamiu tu agou pa Vavanau sa ira na iama qai roitiniria na dia roiti na rane Minere pa zelepade sa qai majai tugu ira sa na vavanauna na rane Minere ba qaike tajutunia qai sela sira?Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?

6Ba ma pojanigou ara sagou: kame sa poreveveina jolania na zelepade sa sa korapa lani.But I tell you that One greater than the temple is here.

7Aipira sau sa na Kukuti Tabuna, <Na vairoroqu vaitokai sa qa nyoguania, nake vavakukuvu,> sau. Ko vei bu gigila vataleamiu agou sa na ginuana na paranga api, sa buke jutu goboroniria na tinoni seladi agou sira na tinoni qaike sela.If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.

8Ura na Tuna na Tinoni sa na bangarana na rane Minere,>> sau si Jisu.For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

9Ego ko sa taloa ketakoi si Jisu, sa sa lao pa kai ruma vavaikamuna tadira na Jiu,Moving on from there, Jesus entered their synagogue,

10ko ketakoi sa korapa sa kai tinoni sa raiqo kai kale limana. Ko ira qai korapa nyaqo rokaga ko bai jutunia kaki sela si Jisu sa pira qarigunia sisa, <<Ai vei, na tavamalumuna pa Vavanau sa na salana tinoni na rane Minere?>> qarigu.and a man with a withered hand was there. In order to accuse Jesus, they asked Him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

11Poni sa oe laoria i Jisu sira, pira sau, <<I sei agou sa isongia kai sipi ko bi vukele jolopo pa oqili na rane Minere sa na sipi isa, poni sa minake bako votunia na rane tugu isa sisa? Kode na rane tugu isa muna bako votunia agou sisa!He replied, “If one of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?

12Ba na tinoni tu sa sa poreveveina jolania na sipi! Ko sa vamalumia gu na Vavanau sa na roitinia na roiti jongana na rane Minere,>> sau si Jisu.How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

13Beto poni sa sa paranga laoa sisa na tinoni sa raiqo kai kale limana, <<Mu radonia na limamu,>> saunia. Ko sa radonia isa sa na limana poni sa jonga ligu vei tugu kai kale limana.Then Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored to full use, just like the other.

14Poni sa qai taloa riu ko qai vaingodo roroqu sira na Parese ko mai vamatea si Jisu qarigu.But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

15Totonai sa gigilai i Jisu sa na kukiti tadira api, sa sa taloa riuona ketakoi sisa. Ko ira na minete tinoni sa qai tutia isa, ko sa salana betoria i Jisu sira doru.Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,

16Beto sa pojaniria ko maike vavavakatonia tadira na tinoni sa na veveina isa sau.warning them not to make Him known.

17Ko api sa na vagore votuna na paranga tana Bangara sa pojai i Aisea, na tinoni kokorotai, pira sau,This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

18<<Api sa na qua nabulu qa vilea. Isa qa roroqua beto qa qerania ara. Mana vakolenia na Gagalaqu sisa, ko ira na tinoni karovodi mina ule vaniria na inaalo.“Here is My Servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations.

19Minake vaitoke babi kuku vevela sisa, na ovovelena minake tanongoro pa soana.He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear His voice in the streets.

20Minake pakata palea kai kae gou maleina, beto minake piju vamatea kai juke nonona. Ko mina toa vei isa sisa tinganai mai batia ira sa na inaalo taqu.A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish, till He leads justice to victory.

21Ko tana mai vatogasia na dia totoravusu sira na tinoni karovodi,>> sau sa na Bangara.In His name the nations will put their hope.”

22Ego pa liguna isa sa qai toni kamunia mule tai Jisu ira sa kai tinoni sa tomea na tomate ikikerena ko sa valeqai beto sa vapokai tugu vei. Ko sa salania i Jisu sisa ko sa paranga beto sa babata ligu.Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to Jesus, and He healed the man so that he could speak and see.

23Ko qai gabara beto sira na miminete tinoni, ko qai kole vavainanasa, pira qarigu, <<Palu api tugu beka sa na Tuna i Devita?>> qarigu.The crowds were astounded and asked, “Could this be the Son of David?”

24Ba ira na Parese sa totonai qai nongoria poni sa pira qarigu, <<I Beelizebulu isa na bangaradi gu na tomate ikikeredi sa vania na neqi sapi, ko sa vei sa sa boka ijiju votu paleria na tomate ikikeredi,>> qarigu.But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “Only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, does this man drive out demons.”

25Ba sa tei gigilaiona tu i Jisu sa na dia roroqu sa vei inara ko pira sauniria, <<Na binangara sa tapipikata ko qai kole vavaipera mule mekadi, sa kode minake turu vamauru sa na binangara isa. Beto ko doru gugusu babi na tatamana qai vaipipikatai sa maike boka turu vamauru.Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.

26Ko vei kai pikatana tai Setani sa bi rajai gu mule sa kai ona pikatana gu mule mekana, sa sa tei tapipikata tugu mekana si Setani, ko minake boka turu vamauru sa nona binangara isa.If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?

27Ko vei pa neqi gu ti Beelizebulu ba boka iju paleria na tomate ikikeredi sara, poni sa i sei ropi sa vaniria na neqi sira na miu sepele ko qai boka iju paleria sira na tomate ikikeredi? Ko inara sa vei sa na roiti qai roitinia ira sa ulenia sa qu sela gu sagou!And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

28Dai, pa neqi tu tana Gagala tana Tamasa qa boka iju pale tomate ikikeredi sara, ko na binangara tana Tamasa sa sa tei togagou tu sagou kopira.But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

29Pira mutu mu doro veinia ko. Kepore sa kai tinoni mina boka tomea sa na leo ruma tana kai tinoni neqina ko mina teku paleria sa doru ona sakasava sa isongoria. Ba momoe sa mina piu vakolea mai tu sa na tinoni neqina api, beto tu poni sa mina soni boka tome laoa isa sa na ona leo ruma, ko mina boka tavusu betoria sira doru ona sakasava.Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and steal his possessions, unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.

30Isa sake somana vei taqu sa sa talesiu ara sisa, beto isa sake vaikamu tokanisiu ara sa sa vaipipiarai sisa.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

31Ko sa vei isa sa ma poja veinigou pira: doru sela beto na paranga ikeredi qai vakesania na Tamasa ira na tinoni, sa mai boka taleosonia gu. Ba na paranga ikeredi qai vakesania na Gagalana na Tamasa sa maike taleosonia.Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

32Isa sa poja vivikeria na Tuna na Tinoni, sa mina boka taleoso gu. Ba isa sa poja vivikeria na Gagala Tabuna sa minake taleosonia pa toa kopira beto kamua na kamua,>> sau si Jisu.Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come.

33<<Vei mina jongana sa na gogouna na gou, sa na vuana ba mai jongadi tugu. Vei mina ikerena sa na gogouna na gou, sa na vuana ba mai ikeredi tugu. Ura pa vuana gu muna gigilania ai veveina sa na gou.Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is known by its fruit.

34Boko tuni dole ikikeremiu! Ko na tinoni ikikeredi vei agou sa kode maike boka paranga votuniria na sakasava jongadi. Ura isa tugu sa pugele ojojongo pa bulo sa sa tapoja votu pa manga.You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

35Na tinoni jongana sa sa vavoturia sira na uana jongadi qai pugele pa bulona, goto na tinoni ikikerena sa sa vavoturia sira na uana ikikeredi qai pugele pa bulona.The good man brings good things out of his good store of treasure, and the evil man brings evil things out of his evil store of treasure.

36Ba ma poja vatatalenigou ara sagou: na rane vaituti sa ira tinoni sa mai okokoto vakaberia tana Tamasa sa na ginuana qai pojaria sira doru paranga qai vavukele gobororia.But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

37Ura doru mua paranga tugu qu pojaria ao sa kode mai tuti mulenigo. Ko na mua paranga tugu mina ulenia sa vei muna talegasania sa ba muna gosoria ao sa na vinakilasa pa vaituti tana Tamasa,>> sau si Jisu.For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

38Pa liguna sa vei inara, sa qai lao nanasia ira kaki qai vaivagigalainia na Vavanau beto ira na Parese si Jisu, <<Tinoni vaivagigalai, qe nyogua batia agei sa kai roiti vaivagabarana jola tana Tamasa bu roiti votunia ao,>> qarigunia.Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”

39Poni sa pira sauniria i Jisu sira, <<Na sasae tinoni ikikerena beto na vavakeporea na Tamasa sa sa korapa nyoguania kai roiti vaivagabarana jola! E, ba kepore sa kai roiti vaivagabarana muna tavadogoronia, goto isa tugu mekana gu na roiti vaivagabarana sa taroiti ti Jona na tinoni kokorotai.Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

40Kai muqisi podeke vei tugu sa suvere kue rane beto kue bongi pa leo iapana na igana si Jona, sa mina vei tugu sa na Tuna na Tinoni. Mina kue ranena tugu beto kue bongina tugu pa bevi vavaigolomona sisa, beto sa mina toa mule.For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

41Na rane vaituti sa kode mai turu ko mai tutinigou ira na tinoni pa Ninive sagou na sasae tinoni kopira. Ura ira sa qai gabala sa totonai qai nongoria na taraena i Jona. Goto doro tu ko, sa korapa gu lani kopira sa kame isa sa poreveveina jolania i Jona.The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.

42Na rane vaituti sa kode mina turu na kalao pa Siba ko mina tutinigou sagou na sasae tinoni kopira. Ura na kakasana jola sa nona rerege koko lame vei pa nona gugusu totonai sa kamu nongoria sa na vaivagigalai bobokana ti Solomone. Goto agou sa doro tu ko, sa korapa gu lani kopira sa kame isa sa poreveveina jolania i Solomone,>> sau si Jisu.The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.

43<<Totonai sa taloa tana tinoni sa kai tomate ikikerena, sa sa riu lekogia isa sa na ia kepore kai savana ko sa nyaqoa sa ketakoi mi suvere minere sau. Ba sake batia isa sa kai ia ketakoi bi boka suvere.When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.

44Poni sa sa paranga gu, <Ma mule vatuvisi gu pa qua ruma ketakoi qa suvere perangana ara,> sau. Ko sa mule sau poni sa batia na kokobana ko sa tei tasaqu valioso na tavatana vatale tu sa na ruma.Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ On its return, it finds the house vacant, swept clean, and put in order.

45Poni sa mule riu sisa ko sa riu toni kamuniria sira ka vitu tomate qai ikere jolania mekana, ko qai kamu suveria sa na ruma isa. Ko tonai sa na toa tana tinoni isa sa sa ikere jolania na totoso momoe. Mina vei puputa tugu isa sa na sasae tinoni ikikeredi kopira,>> sau si Jisu.Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first. So will it be with this wicked generation.”

46Tonai sa korapa paparangaria i Jisu sira na tinoni, sa kamu turu pa sesebe ruma sa na tinana beto ira na tasina marene, ko mai parangia sisa qarigu.While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.

47Ko kame ira qai korapa vaikamu ketakoi sa paranga laoa sisa, pira sau, <<Qokolo, na tinamu beto ko ira na tasimu marene sa qai korapa turu veranigo pa peguru. Qai nyogua parangigo qarigu,>> saunia.Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”

48Ba sa oe laoa i Jisu sisa, <<I sei sa na tinaqu beto ira sei sa na tasiqu marene?>> sau.But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?”

49Beto sa uduku laoria sira nona sepele beto sa paranga, <<Pira sira na tinaqu na tasiqu marene!Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers.

50Ura isa na tinoni sa roitinia isa vei sa nyoguania na Tamaqu pa noka sa isa tugu sa na tasiqu marene, na luluqu rereko beto na tinaqu,>> sau sisa.For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
