Matthew 19 (MNI)

1Adudagi Jisuna hiramsing asi tambiba loirabada, Galilee thadoktuna Jordan turen-gi wangmada leiba Judea-gi lamda laklammi.When Jesus had finished saying these things, He left Galilee and went into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.

2Aduga yamlaba miyam amana Ibungogi tung injarammi, amasung mapham aduda Ibungona makhoigi anabasing adu phahanbirammi.Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.

3Aduga Pharisee-sing kharasu Ibungogi nakta laklammi. Amasung makhoina chang yengladuna Ibungoda wahang asi hanglak-i, “Mi amana mahakki nupibu karigumba maram amagidamak khainabasi wayel kaibra?”Then some Pharisees came and tested Him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”

4Jisuna makhoida khumlak-i, “Nakhoina Mapugi puyada hairibasing asi padabra? Ahoubadagi houna sembiba Mapuna makhoibu nupa amadi nupi haina sembikhi,Jesus answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’

5amasung mahakna haikhi, ‘Maram asina nupa amana mahakki mama mapabu thadoktuna magi nupida punsin-gani aduga makhoi ani hakchang amata oigani.’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’?

6Adunadi makhoi amuk hanna ani oidre, amata oire. Maram aduna Tengban Mapuna punsinbikhraba adu mi kana amatana khaidoktasanu.”So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”

7Maduda makhoina Ibungoda hairak-i, “Adu oirabadi, nupa amana mahakki nupibu khainabada khaina-che ama piyu haina Moses-na yathang piramliba adu karigino?”“Why then,” they asked, “did Moses order a man to give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”

8Jisuna makhoida khumlak-i, “Nakhoigi thamoi kanbagi maramna Moses-na nakhoida nupi khainaba yarambani, adubu ahoubadadi matou asumna touramba natte.Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hardness of heart. But it was not this way from the beginning.

9Eina nakhoida hairibasini, atoppa nupaga yumbanbagi mari leinarambagi khak nattana kanagumbana mahakki nupibu khainaduna atoppa nupi amabu luhongduna lourabadi mahakna nupi lannabagi thabak tourabani. Aduga khainarabi mahakpu louba mahak aduna nupi lannabagi thabak tourabani.”Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”

10Maduda Ibungogi tung-inbasing aduna Ibungoda hairak-i, “Nupa amaga, magi nupigagi marakta asumna mari leinarabadi luhongdabana henna phei.”His disciples said to Him, “If this is the case between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.”

11Aduga Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Wa asi mi khudingmakna lousinba ngamde, adubu Tengban Mapuna madubu pibiba makhoikhaktana lousinba ngammi.“Not everyone can accept this word,” He replied, “but only those to whom it has been given.

12Maramdi mi kharadi mama puknungdagi masa onba oina poklak-i, aduga misingna semba masa onbasu lei, aduga kharana Tengban Mapugi swarga leibakkidamak luhongdaba misu lei. Lousinba ngamba mahak aduna masi lousinjasanu.”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.”

13Nongma mi kharana makhoigi apikpa angangsingbu Jisuda khut thamhanduna makhoigidamak haijahannabagidamak puraklammi. Adubu Ibungogi tung-inbasingna makhoibu cheirammi.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.

14Maduda Jisuna hairak-i, “Apikpa angangsingdu eigi nakta lakchasanu, makhoibu thingganu, maramdi swarga leibak adu makhoi asigumbasingga manaba mising adugini.”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.”

15Aduga Ibungona makhoigi mathakta khut thambiraba matungda mapham adudagi chatkhre.And after He had placed His hands on them, He went on from there.

16Nongma nupa amana Jisugi nakta laktuna asumna hangjarammi, “Aphaba Oja Ibungo, lomba naidaba hingba phangnanaba eina kari aphaba thabak toujagadage?”Just then a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?”

17Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Nahakna eibu kari maramgi aphaba kouribage? Tengban Mapu nattana mi kana amata aphaba leite, adubu nahakna hingba phangninglabadi, nahakna mahakki yathangsing adu illu.”“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.”

18Nupa aduna hairak-i, “Karamba yathangno?” Maduda Jisuna khumlak-i, “Nahakna mi hatkanu, nahakna mitu-miwa lanaganu, nahakna huran-ganu, nahakna aranba sakhi piganu.“Which ones?” the man asked. Jesus answered, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,

19Nama napabu ikai khumnou, amasung nahakki yumlon keironnabasingbu nasamakkumna nungsiyu.”honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.’”

20Maduda naha aduna Ibungoda hairak-i, “Eina angang oiringeidagi houna hairiba yathang pumnamaksing asi ngakcharak-i; houjik eina tougadaba kari ama amuk watlibage?”“All these I have kept,” said the young man. “What do I still lack?”

21Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Nahakna mapung phaba oininglabadi, nahakna chattuna nahakki leijaba pumnamak yonthoklaga lairabasingda piyu, adu oirabadi swargada nahakki lan leigani; aduga lak-u, eigi itung illu.”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.”

22Adubu naha aduna wasing asi tabada, pukning wana chatkhirammi; maramdi mahak maral-mathum yamna leiba mi oirammi.When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.

23Adudagi Jisuna mahakki tung-inbasing aduda hairak-i, “Eina nakhoida tasengnamak hairibasini, inakkhunba mina swarga leibakta changba yamna lui.Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

24Eina nakhoida amuk hanna hairi, madudi inakkhunba mi amana Tengban Mapugi leibakta changbabudi, ut amana yetum manada litpana henna lai.”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.”

25Ibungogi tung-inbasing aduna wapham adu tabada yamna ngakladuna Ibungoda hangjarak-i, “Adu oirabadi kanana kanbiba phangba ngamgadage?”When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

26Jisuna makhoida yengladuna hairak-i, “Mioibagi maphamdadi masi oithoktabani, adubu Tengban Mapugi maphamdadi pumnamak oithokpa ngaktani.”Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

27Adudagi Peter-na Ibungoda hairak-i, “Yengbiyu, eikhoina pumnamak thadoktuna Ibungogi tung injare. Adu oirabadi eikhoina kari phangjagani?”“Look,” Peter replied, “we have left everything to follow You. What then will there be for us?”

28Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Eina nakhoida tasengnamak hairibasini, anouba taibangpan aduda Migi Machanupa aduna mahakki matik mangalgi phambalda phamba matamda, eigi tung-inba nakhoi taranithoisu phambal taranithoida phamduna, Israel-gi salai taranithoibu wayen-gani.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.

29Aduga eigi maramgidamak mayum makei, machin-manao, machan-mache, mama mapa, macha-masu, lou-sing thadokpa mi khudingmakna madugi saruk chama henna amasung lomba naidaba hingba phangjagani.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.

30Adubu ahanba oiriba kayana akonba oigani, aduga akonba oiriba kayana ahanba oigani.”But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
