Luke 11 (TBX) · Opened

1Bouk ti eno Yesu la di zeimema nanghei danghei ti. Gyeik ingwei zeimema woy, eno e xe xel betiyeing ti neil wou e bei, “Tambiy Ngandoung, teyoxe xa en zeimeing mema, nambei Yoan mi teyoxe e xe xel betiyeing o.”One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

2Moxo neil wou xel, “Gyeik ingwei xam ambei zeimemamim eno xam a neil ambei nye: “‘Mang, wa leim e mi mendei vambuing, wa xe tete lalei enam.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Wa mi bong xa mi lul yaeing wou xa e teyei lek bouk titi.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Me wa semaleeng sewokeing wei xa yo, en xa is ambei nyon xa mi semaleeng sewokeing wei xel sapa wong wou xa yo. Me wa seng bong xa na eivek axeing.’”And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Woyom moxo neil wou xel, “Wangwei xam on ti xe gweleeng ti, me e la wou moxo eivek boukeing masenghoing me neil wou, ‘Gweleeng, wang bong belet yayal wou ay,Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6en nambei a xe gweleeng ti mi tupwou sakwaing me lam wou ay, ekom lul yaeing wei ambei bong wou e eno ma.’because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7“Woyom tambiy tiwei toundei lalei eno lewexe bei, ‘Wa seng bo pok wou ay. En xomek mya a xey woy, me yakyak di yeip is a lek zek. A se teyeimbei qandi lek me na bong lulul ti wou wang.’And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Do not bother me. My door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.’

8A neil wou xam, moxo tyek se qandi lek me bong belet wou e en nambei inyei e xe gweleeng o, qe en ingwei toungale nikanzek wou e yo, moxo tyek qandi me bong lulul wou e teyei lek ingwei e lalei vind o.I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of the man’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

9“Om a neil wou xam: Xam teling on tyek bong wou xam, xam ghe gwimexe on tyek xam ghe gweiwou, xam ghe nyeis memamim lek qapomb on tyek natax en xam.So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

10En xel sapa wei mi teling en vatiyeiw eno xel mi qou, xel eti yeiw wei mi yimexe eno mi yeiwou, me eti yeiw wei mi leis memend lek qapomb eno mi tax.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11“Xam mayeiyeiw on, eti wangwei neum embei teling wang en woing ti, tyek wang bong myeiy wou e?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12O wangwei e teling en neughalus ti, tyek wang bong boklevek wou e?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Nambei nyon xam wei sewokeing on, ekom xam ghe mi woulek lul nimza wei xam a being bong wou neumyeiw o. Yond xam ghe boulek bei xam Mamim wei toundei eivek tyoung gheyapu nei tyek bong Laweeng Vambuing wou xel wei mi teling e yo.”So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

14Yesu tiy memo wei myatu yo veil tambiy ti. Gyeik ingwei memo la veil eno tambiy wei myatu eno luk, om moux alis vex ngenong yei me etek.One day Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,

15Ekom xel on valu neil embei, “En nikanzek wei Belsebul, gyovaxa wei memo, eno e mi tiy memo nangya.”but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Xel valu axe moxo me neil, “Wang bong dee wei lulvako yo ti en xa boulek bei Anutu wong wang lam.”And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Yesu yei woueing nalei wei xel o me neil wou xel, “Tete lalei wei eti yeiw dembuma me wong vevek wou emaxow eno tyek bo nol, me wangwei xomek ti dembuma me bong vevek wouma eno tyek detei eivek.Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and a house divided against a house will fall.

18Wangwei Sandang xe xel dembuma me bong vevek wouma, on tyek e xe tete lalei bale nikanzek ambei nya? A neil tine en nambei xam ghe neimbei a tiy memo nangya Belsebul.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Ekom wangwei a tiy memo na veil angya Belsebul nikanzek nei, ond eti mi vind xel wei xam o me xel mi tiy memo yon la myayaing? Om xel wei xam eno tyek talex wou xam bei qayeeng wei xam on se la wo bombek.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Ekom wangwei a tiy memo nangya Anutu mema deyis, on Anutu xe tete lalei lam wou xam.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21“Wangwei moux wei nikanzek o ti bale zeyi beeng is lulul wei vevek o, on tyek e xe lulul a toumendei embo nimza.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Ekom wangwei xelti nikanzek ghanaw e veil, on tyek na bo vevek wou e me bou lul vevek wei di qou nikanzek eivek o veil e, de dembu e ning lulul wou xel ba.But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted, and then he divides up his plunder.

23“Xel eti yeiw wei se mindei is ay eno mi wo vevek wou ay, me eti yeiw wei se mi qeku moux alis vex wou is ay, eno mi tiy xel lala.”He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24“Gyeik ingwei laweeng nilaxes ti lam myayaing veil moux ti, on tyek na ghavineeng eivek tembuing wei memiing ma veil o. Me gyei beyeeng wei embei na qou laweeng o, ek se gyeiwou ti. Woyom tyek na neil, ‘Tyek a nox me na eivek xomek wei a lam veil o.’When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’

25Gyeik ingwei loum tei eno yei xomek xel pepa e wo vako me menyex wou.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Woyom la qou laweeng amba lim yuw wei xel ghanaw e veil en kwa nol o, me xel la dei eivek xomek lalei tiyon. Om deing wei tambiy tiyon eno wo nol ghanaw ingwei tax o.”Then it goes and brings 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.”

27Ka Yesu di neil ti beimambei ne, eno vex wei toundei eivek qekueing ama yon ti taxe la wou e, “Vex tiwei wou wang me wo luul wou wang eno e mi bo xeilala.”As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!”

28Moxo byex e mya leit bei, “Embong ondek xey a neimbei xel wei mi ngo Anutu xe xoulek me betiwou eno na mi bo xeindlala.”But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Ka moux alis vex ngenong di lam me nyouk, om Yesu neil, “Xomaxoneing wei gweimbeeng ne nilul ayang. Xel teling en embei gyei dee wei lulvako yo, ekom tyek xel se gyei ti, qe tyek xel gyei lulvako wei Yona yo.As the crowds were increasing, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.

30En Yona wong ambei dee wou Niniweyeiw, om nambei nyon is, Xomaxoneing Neu Moux tyek bong ambei dee wou xomaxoneing wei gweimbeeng ne.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31“De kwin wei xonei eno tyek qandi lek bouk wei wongeing qayeeng me bo qayeeng en xomaxoneing wei gweimbeeng ne me na neil xel xe nilul teyei, en lam anghei tembuing myasepu en embei ngo Salomo xe lupeyei, me gweimbeeng ne tambiy ti ghanaw Salomo eno toundei inye.The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.

32Lek bouk wei ngoeing qayeeng eno xel wei Niniwe tyek qandi me bale me bo qayeeng en xomaxoneing wei gweimbeeng ne me na neil xel xe nilul teyei, en xel pekwi xow gyeik ingwei Yona la neil xoulek o. Wei, gweimbeeng ne tambiy ti ghanaw Yona veil eno lam toundei inye.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.

33“Xelti se mi byex eivek lam me toung eivek beyeeng wei embei bund xeiyaing o, o toung eivek deng lalei. Qe xel mi toung leklam vaxa gheyapu, om xel wei la lalei eno mi yei xeiyaing.No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a basket. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

34Wa mamghalus on lam wei wa neing o. Wangwei wa mamghalus luw xouing a toumendei embo nimza, on tyek wa neing dalus na pup en xeiyaing. Ekom wangwei luw xouing bo nol on tyek wa neing na pup en mapetok ngandoung.Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body is full of darkness.

35Om wang gweiteyei, en xeiyaing wei toundei eivek wang on se bo mapetok.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Nambei nyon wangwei wa neing dalus on na pup en xeiyaing, me boukeing e ma veil wa neing danghei ti, on wa neing dalus wo xeiyaing, nambei ingwei xeiyaing wei lam mi byex lek wang o.”So if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, you will be radiant, as though a lamp were shining on you.”

37Gyeik ingwei Yesu neil xoulek ma yo, Parisi ti teling bei e na gya is e, om moxo eivek la lalei me la yeip pepeeng lek zek me ya.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Ekom Parisi yei ingwei Yesu se lipek atax ekom ya, om di wounalei ngenong.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Woyom Tambiy Ngandoung neil wou e, “Xam Parisi ghe mi sekweyexe mayamya luw dipek demi, ekom xam laleimim on pup en kwa eivekeing me nilul.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Xam xomaxoneing on bandol! Beip tambiy tiwei betiy lulul on demi eno se betiy lalei is?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Ekom xam ghe bong vati wei toundei eivek dipek lalei eno wou xel wei kanyo yo, on tyek xam ghe bo vako yang wou Anutu manghalus.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42“Xam Parisi ghe gwaleeng amim en nimaying, en xam ghe mi wong ti eivek xoumeeng xoing senyeing me lulul eivek xuk wei xam o, ekom xam ghe saing kwa wei bombek me kwa wei lalei vineing Anutu yo, om xam betiwou kwa ti beimambei yon de xam ghe bong luw xouing bo nimza.Woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former.

43“Xam Parisi ghe gwaleeng amim en nimaying, en nambei xam laleimim mi vind sia nimza wei xomek qekueing ama yo, me xam ambei xel a mi neil bendiyeing teiv wou xam eivek beyeeng wei xel mi wo vateivek lek lulul o.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44“Xam ghe gwaleeng amim en nimaying, en xam ghe xok leiveeng meyeing xupekeing wei xomaxoneing qeilek en xel se woulek.”Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Xel wei lupeyei ngandoung en petieing wei Mose yo ti neil wou Yesu, “Putoung, gyeik wang neil qayeeng ambei nyon, eno wang neil xa is.”One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Yesu byex e vya leit bei, “Xam wei lumimpeyei ngandoung en petieing wei Mose eno xam ghe gwaleeng amim en nimaying, en nambei xam ghe mi qou lul nimaying me ghe toung lek xomaxoneing me xel mi wo pok lek qaleing, dom xam memamim ti se mi vind xel.”“Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “For you weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load.

47“Xam ghe gwaleeng amim en nimaying, en nambei xam ghe mi ev leiveeng meyeing wei xel poropet, wei bumyeiw leis xel mey o.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Om xam ghe talex lek bei xam ghe lenghek lek vati wei bumyeiw wong o, xel leis xel poropet mey, de xam ghe kwelexe xel xe eeng wei meyeing o.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49“En nambei tiyon, om eivek Anutu xe lupeyei nimza eno neil, ‘Tyek a bong xel poropet me sinaleyeiw wou xel, tyek xel nyeis xel valu mey de bo nol wou xel valu.’Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and others they will persecute.’

50Nambei nyon xam xomaxoneing wei gweimbeeng ne tyek na qou myaveweeng lek gyand wei xel poropet, wei xel leis gyeik bouk wei Anutu toung tembuing o,As a result, this generation will be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the foundation of the world,

51nanghei Abel gyand me e mi la Sakalias gyand, tiwei xel leis e mey eivek qeind aluw xomek vambuing senghoing o. Ee, a neil wou xam, xomaxoneing wei gweimbeeng ne tyek na qou myaveweeng tiyon dalus.from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, all of it will be charged to this generation.

52“Xam wei lumimpeyei ngandoung en petieing wei Mose yo ghe gwaleeng amim en nimaying. En xam ghe zeim ki wei qoueing lupeyei nimza yo veil. Xam venaxow seng la eivek, de xam ghe nale zeyi xel wei embei na eivek o.”Woe to you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”

53Gyeik ingwei Yesu la veil inyon, eno xel Parisi me xel putoung wei petieing o laleind wo nol wou e, om xel nale zeyi e nangya teling wei nikanzek o.As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54Xel di axe e en embei bo qayeeng en e, en ingwei e neil qayeeng ti na sewok o.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
