Nɨbi abe anɨgɨl gɨnɨmɨb tek lup anɨb ak tek, nɨgtep gɨnɨmɨb agak.In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

2Takaw tay mɨñɨl yu gɨl mɨdeb ak, kɨdek mɨseŋ yenɨgab agak. Tap tay kɨmɨgel we gɨpal okok, kɨdek nɨgtep gɨnɨgabal agak.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

Takaw kɨmɨgel kal mɨgan okok apɨm ak, kal adek alaŋ agel, yɨg dad man okok amnɨgabal agak.What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.

8Jisas takaw olap agak, Nɨbop agebin, binɨb an Jisas yɨl mɨdobun agɨl, binɨb mɨdebal nab ak takaw anɨb ak agyɨkel, kɨlop pen yɨp yɨl mɨdebal agɨl, ensel mɨdebal nab ak takaw anɨb ak agyɨkɨnɨgayn agak.I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9Pen binɨb an Jisas yɨl ma mɨdobun agɨl, binɨb mɨdebal nab ak takaw anɨb ak agel, kɨlop pen yɨp yɨl ma mɨdebal agɨl, ensel mɨdebal nab ak agɨnɨgayn agak.But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10Bɨ Olap Ñɨne nop agjuwenɨgabal, God nɨŋɨd gach kɨlop tɨg walɨg gɨyokɨnɨgab agak. Pen God Kawnan nop ak agjuwenɨgabal, ne nɨŋɨd gach ma tɨg walɨg gɨyokɨnɨgab agak.And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

11Pen nɨbop ag gɨnɨg, dad Juda apnan gɨpal kal ak nab ak amel akaŋ, bɨawl nab ak amel akaŋ, gapman bɨawl mɨdebal nab ak dad amnɨgabal agak. Dad amel, takaw tɨtay pen agɨnɨgun akaŋ, kɨlop pen takaw tay ak dɨl agɨnɨgun agɨl gos ak ma nɨgɨnɨmɨb agak.When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12Apek nɨŋɨd, God Kawnan ak nɨbop gos ñek agɨnɨgabɨm agak.For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

14Agek Jisas pen nop agak, Bɨ an yɨp agup, Nad bɨ tap pak asɨk ñeb ak mɨdenɨmɨn agek, tap nɨbop okok pak asɨk ñɨnɨm agak?But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

Anɨb ak nɨgtep gɨnɨmɨb agak.And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

16Pen Jisas takaw olap kɨlop paladaŋ lɨl agak, Bɨ mani kuŋay yenɨgab olap, wog day ne ak tap mɨdup kuŋay yɨbɨl jakɨnɨgab agak.Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

19Lɨl, kɨdek wog ak kelɨgɨl, sub kuŋay yɨbɨl tap yad anɨb okok nep ñɨbɨlɨg, ñɨg ñɨbɨlɨg, mɨñmɨñ gɨlɨg gɨ yenɨgayn agɨl nɨgɨnɨgab agak.Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’

20Pen anɨgɨl nɨgek, God nop agɨnɨgab, Nad bɨ sawl sek yɨbɨl agɨnɨgab agak. Mɨñɨl kɨsɨlɨm nab ayaŋ nep kume, tap nad kuŋay nep mɨdeb anɨb okok an tek dɨnɨgab agɨnɨgab agak?But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’

21Anɨb ak tek nɨm, binɨb tap kɨli okok nep mapen tɨkjakek, God kɨlop nɨŋɨd binɨb yokɨp agɨnɨgab agak.This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22Jisas anɨb agɨl, bɨne okok kɨlop agak, Anɨb ak tek nɨbop agebin, tap akal nɨb dɨl tap mɨdup ñɨbɨl yonɨgun, chech akal nɨb dɨl yɨmɨl yonɨgun agɨl, gos awl ak ma nɨgɨnɨmɨb agak.Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

23Nɨŋɨd apin, pel mɨdep nɨbi ak tap awl yɨbɨl agak. God nɨbop gɨlak ak, tap ñɨŋeb nep pɨyow nɨgɨnɨgel, chech nep pɨyow nɨgɨnɨgel agɨl ma gɨlak agak.For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

Ne yawl tap yokɨp ak anɨgɨl gup, nɨbi pen binɨb yɨbɨl ak, taynen chɨnop ma kod yenɨgab agɨl gos kuŋay nepɨm agak?Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!

25Gos kuŋay nɨŋɨd, kumnɨg gɨnɨgabɨm ñɨn ak kelɨgɨnɨgabɨm akaŋ agak? Nak tap lum awl yɨl ak gos kuŋay nɨgenɨgaban, ñɨn olap tapɨn yenɨgaban akaŋ agak? Mel yɨbɨl agak.Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

Yad nɨbop agebin, bɨnonɨm Solomon tap kuŋay mɨdɨl chech teplep yɨbɨl yek ak pen, nag mɨdup mokayaŋ gɨñub anɨb ak tek, Solomon ne ma yek agak.Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

28Tap be okok jakup anɨb okok tap yokɨp, pel ma yenɨgab agak. Pel mɨdɨl mel, mɨñɨl tek mɨdɨl, tol tek tɨpagɨlɨl dagɨlɨnɨgabal agak.

Nɨbi God nop gos lɨnepɨm ak sɨkol gup agak.If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!

29Pen chɨn tap mɨdup, ñɨg, tap okok akal nɨb dɨl ñɨŋɨnɨgun agɨl gos ak ma nɨgɨnɨmɨb agak.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

31Pen tap ned adek ak anɨgɨl mɨdeb, nɨbi God binɨb dɨl kɨlop kod yenɨgab ak gos kɨles gɨl, kɨdek gɨnɨmɨb agak. Anɨgenɨgabɨm, tap okok mɨdupsek abe nɨbop ñɨnɨgab agak.But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

33Tap nɨbi mɨdeb okok tawɨl mani dɨl, binɨb tap ma mɨdeb okok kɨlop ñɨnɨmɨb agak. Anɨgɨnɨgabɨm, mani tap teplep tek yenɨgab, God man ne alaŋ agak. Ma kul gɨnɨgab agak. Bɨ si dep ogɨnap ma si dɨnɨgabal agak. Kɨchɨl gɨlobɨd ma ñɨŋɨnɨgab agak. Mel yɨbɨl, pelnep yenɨgab agak.Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

34Tap teplep nɨbi okok lum awl dɨ nan gem, gos nɨbop ak yenɨgab lum awl agak. Pen man adek alaŋ dɨ nan gem, gos nɨbop ak yenɨgab anɨb alaŋ agak.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35Jisas takaw olap agak, Anɨb ak chech nɨbi ak dem apek, wulep wulep pagɨl, sɨbnag pak tɨbɨkɨl, sup ak dagɨl lɨl, kod yenɨmɨb agak.Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36Bɨ wog gɨñeb okok agɨnɨgabal, Bɨawl chɨn ak, bin dɨlɨg tap awl ñɨbebal nab ak amub ak, sayn adɨkɨd ownɨgab agɨnɨgabal agak. Agɨl, nɨg nep yenɨgabal agak. Bɨawl kɨli ak gɨ ajɨl ap kanɨb ak pak gigu gek, kasek yɨkɨnɨgabal agak. Nɨbi anɨb ak tek gɨnɨmɨb agak.Then you will be like servants waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.

37Pen ne adɨkɨd apɨl nɨgɨnɨgab, kɨli nɨg yenɨgabal ak, kɨlop dɨtep yɨbɨl gɨnɨgab agak. Nɨŋɨd yɨbɨl agebin, bɨawl anɨb ak ne ke, chech ne ak lɨpɨgek apek wulep wulep pagɨl, sɨbnag pak tɨbɨkɨnɨgab agak. Tɨbɨkɨl kɨlop agek, am tap lɨñɨbal tep ak am besɨg kuskus gel, ne ke kɨlop tap ñɨŋeb ak dam ñɨnɨgab agak.Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them.

38Pen bɨawl ak kɨsɨlɨm nab ayaŋ akaŋ, kakaluk agaknɨŋ apɨl nɨgɨnɨgab, bɨne okok wɨsɨn ma kɨnenɨgabal, kɨlop dɨtep yɨbɨl gɨnɨgab agak.Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39Anɨb ak nɨgɨm. Bɨ kal nap nɨb ak, ne bɨ tap si dep ak won akal apeb agɨl nɨŋɨd nɨm, wɨsɨn ma kɨnɨl nɨg yek, bɨ tap si dep ak kal bog tɨkɨl kal mɨgan ma ownɨmuŋ agak.But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.

40Anɨb ak tek nɨbi abe nɨgtep gɨl yenɨmɨb agak. Mel ak, Bɨ Olap Ñɨne ma apeb agɨl, sawl gɨl yenɨgabɨm ñɨn ak ne ownɨgab agak.You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41Jisas anɨb agek Pita agak, Bɨawl. Takaw paladaŋ lɨl apan anɨb ak, chɨnop nep apan akaŋ, binɨb mɨdupsek apan agak?“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42Agek Jisas agak, Bɨ an gos tep yek, wog gɨtep yɨbɨl gɨnɨgab ak, bɨawl ne ak amnɨg gɨl nop agɨnɨgab, Binɨb wog yɨp gɨñɨbal okok kɨlop kod yenɨmɨn agɨnɨgab agak. Tap ñɨŋeb kɨlop okok bɨlok ñɨlɨg gɨ yenɨmɨn agɨnɨgab agak. Agɨl amnɨgab agak.And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time?

43Kɨdek adɨkɨd apɨl, bɨ wog gɨñeb ne ak agɨnɨgab tek gɨnɨgab ak, Bɨawl ne nop dɨtep yɨbɨl gɨnɨgab agak.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44Nɨŋɨd yɨbɨl apin, nop agek tap anɨb okok mɨdupsek kod yenɨgab agak.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Pen bɨ wog gɨñeb ne ak wog nop gɨnɨgab ak, bɨawl yad ak kasek ma ownɨgab agɨl, binɨb wog gɨñɨbal okok kɨlop tapɨn pakɨnɨgab agak. Pakɨl, tap ñɨbɨl, ñɨg kɨles ñɨbɨl sawl lɨl gɨ yenɨgab agak.But suppose that servant says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and he begins to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk.

46Pen bɨawl ak kasek ma ownɨgab agɨl nɨgɨnɨgab ak, ñɨn ak apɨl, nop tɨmel yɨbɨl gɨl, binɨb takaw tɨpagɨlɨpal nab okok nop agyokɨnɨgab agak.The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

47Bɨawl ak apɨl, takaw ne agak ak nɨgtep gɨl pen ma kɨdek genɨgabal, binɨb okok kɨlop tapɨn pakɨnɨgab agak.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48Takaw ne agak ak pen ma nepal tɨmel gɨnɨgabal okok, ne kɨlop sɨkol pakɨnɨgab agak. Pen anɨb ak tek, God kɨlop tap awl ñɨl, pen anɨb ak tek ñɨlaŋ agɨnɨgab agak. Pen tap kuŋay nep dɨ ñɨn adek kɨlop ak lek, pen abe tap kuŋay yɨbɨl yɨp ñɨlaŋ agɨnɨgab agak.But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.

49Jisas takaw olap agak, Yad opin ak, lum awl sup pug agɨlɨnɨg opin agak. Kasek yɨnɨpɨkop ak tep agak.I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50Yad yul awl dɨnɨgayn ak, yɨp mɨŋel yɨbɨl geb agak. Anɨb ak pɨsnep den nɨm, yɨp tep gɨnɨgab agak.But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

52Mɨñɨl ñɨn awl tɨkɨl, amɨlɨgon apɨlɨgon anep mamɨd tek yenɨgabal ak agak. Omɨŋal nokom yɨp dɨl, omɨŋal yɨp ma dɨl, asɨk keke lɨnɨgabal agak. Pen mel ak, omɨŋal yɨp dɨl, omɨŋal nokom yɨp ma dɨl, asɨk keke lɨnɨgabal agak.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53Bɨ apɨlmɨŋal ak, ñɨne akaŋ nap, yɨp ma dek nɨm asɨk keke lɨnɨgayl agak. Bin amɨlmɨŋal ak, pay ne akaŋ nonɨm, yɨp ma dek nɨm asɨk keke lɨnɨgayl agak. Nonɨm ayɨp, ñɨne bin ak ayɨp abe, nonɨm akaŋ ñɨne bin ak, yɨp ma dek nɨm asɨk keke lɨnɨgayl agak.They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

54Pen Jisas takaw olap sek kɨlop agak, Sub saŋɨd amub okok ken wɨsɨp lek nɨŋɨd apɨm, Mɨñɨl man pakɨnɨgeb agem, apɨm tek nep man pakup agak.Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.

55Yɨgen awl ak ayɨm ken apek nɨŋɨd apɨm, Mɨñɨl sub awl gɨnɨgeb agem, apɨm tek nep sub awl ak gup agak.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

57Pen taynen God kanɨb tep adek pɨyow nɨŋɨd dɨnɨmɨb ak mɨdaknɨŋ, tap yepɨs okok apun tek gup agɨl nepɨm agak.And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison.

59Yad nep agebin, nag lel yenɨgaban agak. Tap day nad okok pɨsnep day pag dɨl tek, seŋ amnɨmɨn agak.I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
