Matthew 19 (LGA)

1Ego totonai sa beto vaivagigalainiria i Jisu sira na sakasava pira, sa sa taloa pa Qalili sisa ko sa sae pa ia pikata gugusu Jiudia pa kai karovona na pie Jodani.When Jesus had finished saying these things, He left Galilee and went into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.

2Ko na vaikamu tinoni lavata sa qai tutia isa, beto ketakoi tugu sa salana betoria isa.Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.

3Ego ira kaki Parese sa qai lame tana ko qai nyogua podekia sisa. Ko qai gonania na nanasa ira sisa, pira qarigu, <<Ai vei, na tavamalumuna pa Vavanau sa mina boka loa pale kai tinoni sa na maqotana pa ai ginugua vei gu sa nyoguania isa?>> qarigu.Then some Pharisees came and tested Him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”

4Poni sa oeria i Jisu, pira sauniria, <<Beko qu tei tiroamiu tu ba qu oqoro tu vakaberia agou sa na Kukuti Tabuna? Pira sau sa na Kukuti Tabuna, <Pa popodalaina sa sa tei vapodaka vamarenia beto varerekoa tu na Tamasa sa na tinoni,> sau.Jesus answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’

5Beto pira mutu sau, <Ko pa ginuana isa sa mina boka taloa tana tinana beto na tamana sa na marene ko mina kole kame tana maqotana, ko mai kame gu sira karu,> sau.and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?

6Ko maike pikatarua sira karu, ba kame gu. Ko isa vei sa tei vaipuku tariniria tu na Tamasa sa kepore kai tinoni mi vaivisuniria,>> sau si Jisu.So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”

7Poni qai nanasa bei sira na Parese, <<Ba ai sa vei ko i Mosese sa vaivagarununia tu sa mina boka kutia na marene sa kai pepa vailoa, beto sa mina iju variu palea sa na maqotana?>> qarigu sira.“Why then,” they asked, “did Moses order a man to give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”

8Poni sa oeria i Jisu sira, <<Na ginuana sa vamalumunigou i Mosese sisa sa ura koko vei sa tapata na tavavanaumiu sagou. Goto pa podalaina sa sake vei inara sa.Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hardness of heart. But it was not this way from the beginning.

9Ko ara sa pira ma poja veinigou: bike vavaiputa taviti goboro sa na maqotana kai marene, ba bi lao na marene ko bi loa pale sa na maqotana isa ko bi alava beia mule kai goto rereko, sa sa babarata tugu sa na marene isa,>> sau si Jisu.Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”

10Poni qai parangia sira na ona sepele, <<Vei mina isa sa na ginuana vei na marene mina boka loai na maqotana, poni sa jongana jola sa mike pavu vaialava sa na tinoni,>> qarigu sira.His disciples said to Him, “If this is the case between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.”

11Poni sa oeria i Jisu sira, <<Nake ira doru tinoni mai boka tekua sa na vaivagigalai api, ba ira gu sa tei vaniria tu na Tamasa.“Not everyone can accept this word,” He replied, “but only those to whom it has been given.

12Ura koledia sa kubo okokoto ginugua vei beto qaike boka vaialava ira na tinoni: kaki na podo veidi tu, kaki na tinoni gu qai lida vaegoro veini paleria, goto kaki qaike vaialava ura qai nyogua nabulu vania na binangara pa noka. Na tinoni mina boka tekua na vavanau api sa mi tekua tugu,>> sau si Jisu.For there are eunuchs who were born that way; others were made that way by men; and still others live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”

13Ego ira kaki sa qai toni laoniria ti Jisu sira na koburu ko mi vaoponiria na limana beto mi mananiria isa qarigu, ba qai tokeria ira na sepele sira na tinoni qai vaitoni lame.Then little children were brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them. And the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

14Ba pira sau i Jisu, <<Mu vamalumuria sira na koburu ko mai lame taqu, muke suquturia. Ura tadira tugu vevei aipira sa na binangara pa noka,>> sau sisa.But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

15Beto sa vaoponiria na limana isa sira na koburu ikikete ko sa mananiria, beto sa sa taloa riu.And after He had placed His hands on them, He went on from there.

16Ego koleona sa kai tinoni sa kamu tai Jisu ko pira sau, <<Tinoni vaivagigalai, ai roiti jongana sa mana roitinia ara beto mana tekua ara sa na toa jola?>> sau sisa.Just then a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?”

17Poni sa oea i Jisu, pira sau, <<Ai sa vei ko qu nanasania ao taqu sa na veveina na jongana? Kame gu mekana sa isa sa jongana. Vei muna nyogua tekua na toa ao, sa mu kopuniria na garunu,>> sau sisa.“Why do you ask Me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”

18<<Na garunu ai veveidi?>> sau sa na tinoni api. Poni sa paranga si Jisu, <<Na garunu sa pira: munake varivai, munake babarata, munake ikiko, munake jutu seseke,“Which ones?” the man asked. Jesus answered, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,

19mu valavataria na tinamu na tamamu, muna roroqua na tavitimu kai muqisi podeke vei qu roroqu mule veinigo mekamu,>> sau sisa.honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.’”

20Poni sa paranga sa na tinoni api, <<Doru garunu pira sa qa tei tuti betoria tu ara sira, goto na sa mule sa mana roitiniria ara?>> sau sisa.“All these I have kept,” said the young man. “What do I still lack?”

21Poni sa pira saunia i Jisu sisa, <<Vei muna nyogua nabu pa mua tuti sao, sa mu lao ko mu vavainiria na mua sakasava qu isongoria, ko na poatadi mu vaniria ira na tinoni vaivasevidi. Beto sa muna tekuria ao sira na isisongo pa noka, beto sa mu lame tutisiu,>> sau sisa.Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

22Totonai sa nongoria na tinoni koregana api sa na paranga isa sa sa takulanga ko sa riuona, ura sa soku nona isisongo sisa.When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.

23Beto sa pira sauniria i Jisu sira nona sepele, <<Ma poja sosotonigou ara sagou: sa tapata vivitigi tana tinoni isisongo sa mina tome pa binangara pa noka sisa.Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

24Ma kai poja vatalenigou mule ara sagou: sa tapata jola tana tinoni isisongo sa mina tome pa binangara tana Tamasa sisa, sa tapata jolania na kameli bi sulingi tomea sa na talupuru nila,>> sau sisa.Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

25Totonai qai nongoria ira na sepele sapi sa qai gabara vivitigi ko pira qarigu, <<Ko i sei gu sa mina boka taalo sa vei?>> qarigu sira.When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

26Poni sa do tariria i Jisu sira beto pira sauniria, <<Tana tinoni sa tapata vivitigi sapi, goto tana Tamasa sa doru sakasava qaike tapata,>> sau sisa.Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

27Poni sa oe si Pita, pira saunia, <<Doro! Agei qe tei loa paleria tu sira doru mei sakasava ko qe tei tutigomei tu ao. Ko na sa sa mene isongia agei?>> sau sisa.“Look,” Peter replied, “we have left everything to follow You. What then will there be for us?”

28Poni sa pira sauniria i Jisu sira, <<Ma poja sosotonigou ara sagou: totonai mina toqo pa nona totoqona bangara sa na Tuna na Tinoni pa totoso tana ona binangara, sa muna somana toqo pa manogarua totoqona bangara sagou ka manogarua sepele, ko muna bangaraniria sira ka manogarua bubutu Izireli.Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, in the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29Beto ko ira doru qai loaria na dia ruma na tasidi marene na luludi rereko babi na tamadi na tinadi beto ira na tudia na peso na vei pa dia tutiqu ara, sa mina ia beiniria na Tamasa kai gogoto totoso mota jolaniria vei ira qai loaria ira beto mai teku isongia vei na toa jola.And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for the sake of My name will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.

30Ba ira soku qai momoe sa mai liligu, beto ira soku qai liligu sa mai momoe,>> sau si Jisu.But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
