2Xel sinale xoumeeng yuw ne leind ambei nye. Tiwei tax eno Simon e lei nge xel mi taxe bei Petele me li Andrias, Jems wei Sebedi neu moux o me li Yoan,These are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;

3Pilip me Batolomiu, Tomas me Matai tambiy wei mi qou takis o, Jems Alpias neu moux, me Tadius,Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

5Yesu wong xel xoumeeng yuw ne eno la de peti xel bei, “Xam seng na eivek xel amba senghoing o ghe na eivek Samaria xe beyeeng on ti,These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go onto the road of the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.

6qe xam ghe na wou xel sipsip wei Israel wei lati yo.Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.

7Ka xam a being na eno xam ghe na neil qayeeng tine, ‘Tete lalei wei tyoung gheyapu eno lam paviy.’As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’

8Xam ghe bong vanei e ma, me xam a piyexe xel meyeing, de ghe bong xel wei lepa yo bo nimzalek me xam a tiy memoyeiw na veil. Lul wei xam ghe qou bandaing, eno xam ghe bong wou xel bandaing.Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

9Xam se qou lulti nambei ghol o silva malew o kopa malew gyand eivek xam xe let.Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts.

10Gyeik xam ghe na wou sakwaing eno xam se qou vaxak ti, o teimb yuw, o vaxalambes o patongeeng is. En xel wei mi wo xuk eno tyek xel bong yaeing wou xel.Take no bag for the road, or second tunic, or sandals, or staff; for the worker is worthy of his provisions.

11“Wangwei xam a being na eivek beyeeng nayak o beyeeng, ond xam ghe gwimexe tambiy wei nimza yo ti me ghe na mendei is e eivek e xe xomek deka xam ghe na veil le.Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy there and stay at his house until you move on.

12Ka xam a being na eivek xomek ti, eno xam a neil bendiyeing wou xel.As you enter the home, greet its occupants.

13Wangwei xel wei xomek on na qou xam is xeindlala, xam ghe bong xam xe lalei vevopeing wou xel, ek wangwei na ma, ond xam a qou xam xe lalei vevopeing noum wou xow.If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it, but if it is not, let your peace return to you.

14Wangwei xelti se qou xam o na ngo qayeeng wei xam o, ond xam pepa vegyuveeng veil vaxamim gyeik xam a being na veil xomek o beyeeng nayak o.And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.

15A neil wou xam zonghek bei, gyeik bouk wei Anutu embei bo qayeeng en xomaxoneing eno nimaying ngandoung tyek qandi wou beyeeng nayak tiyon ghanaw Sodom aluw Gomora.Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

16Wei, ambei bong xam ghe na nambei sipsip eivek xel naw bemeeng senghoing. Nambei nyon xam a qou lupeyei nambei myeiy me mendei males nambei beliy.Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

17“Xam ghe gweiteyei xow en xel xomaxoneing, tyek xel a qou xam me na wou xel kanzol me tyek xel bo nol wou xam me sesa xam eivek xomek qekueing ama.But beware of men, for they will hand you over to their councils and flog you in their synagogues.

18Tyek xel a qou xam me na bale wou xel lei ngandoung wei seyap o me xel king mend en ay, en nambei xam ghe mi betiwou ay me ghe neil xoulek teyei wou xel me xel amba.On My account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.

19Ekom gyeik xel a zeimaxoun xam, xam seng bou kwamim ngenong en vati wei xam ambei neil o, bei tyek xam a neil ambei nya. Lek seivma kayon eno Anutu tyek bong vati wei xam ambei neil o,But when they hand you over, do not worry about how to respond or what to say. In that hour you will be given what to say.

20en inye tyek xam venaxow se neil, qe inye xam Mamim xe Laweeng eno tyek baluk eivek xam myamim.For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

21“Li venaxow tyek na neil li teyei me xel nyeis e mey, me ma ti tyek bong ambei nyon wou neu, de neuyeiw tyek bo vevek is mamata me xel ba nyeis xel amey.Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.

22Xomaxoneing dalus tyek laleind bo nol wou xam en ay, ekom eti yeiw wei nale nikanzek me ena bouk loxyus eno tyek Anutu devind xel veil meyeing.You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

23Wangwei xel bo nilul wou xam eivek beyeeng ti, ond xam a pek me ghe na beyeeng nge. A neil wou xam zonghek bei Xomaxoneing Neu Moux noum eno tyek xam seng na eivek beyeeng tambak wei Israel o buplek.When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. Truly I tell you, you will not reach all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

24“Yak wei wevek xomek o se ghanaw e xe putoung, o xukxe ti se ghanaw e xe teiv.A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

25Ekom wangwei yakyak wei wevek xomek o teyei lek e xe putoung, ond inyon woy. Me wangwei xukxe teyei lek e xe teiv, ond inyon woy is ambei nyon. Wangwei xomek ma eno xel taxe bei e Belsebul, ond tyek xel bo lei wei nilul o wou e xe xel wei xomek on!It is enough for a disciple to be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!

26“Om xam seng gwaleeng en xel. Lul dalus wei xel vun eno tyek nam yanyateiv. Me qayeeng tambak wei yeip xupekeing eno tyek xomaxoneing boulek.So do not be afraid of them. For there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

27Vati wei a neil wou xam eivek boukeing, eno xam a neil eivek bendiyeing. Me qayeeng wei xam ghe di ngoung wouma eivek nenyamim, eno tyek xam bale lek xomek demi qetyei me na neilteyei.What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.

28Xam seng gwaleeng en xel wei embei nyeis xam neing a mey yo, dom xel se teyei bei nyeis xam numim pieing. Qe xam ghe gwaleeng en Anutu wei teyei bei bo nol wou xam numim pieing me xam neing eivek nenyex wei luta yo.Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

29Beip xel se mi xouv menek nayak yuw en selewa gyand nayak ti? Ek wangwei xam Mamim lalei se devind nei on tyek menek menek nayak on ti se teyei bei deteina lek tembuing.Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.

30De nge is xam lumim velus dalus on eno Anutu pyaw memawou woy.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31Om xam seng gwaleeng. Xam ghe ghanaw menek nayak ngenong on.So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

32“Eti yeiw wei mi neil a teyei natax wou xomaxoneing eno tyek a neil e teyei natax wou Mang anghei tyoung gheyapu nei.Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven.

33Ekom eti bei dax a vun atax wou xomaxoneing, eno tyek a dax e vun is ambei nyon atax wou Mang nanghei tyoung gheyapu nei.But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.

34“Xam seng bou kwamim bei a qou lalei vevopeing me na lam tembuing. A se qou lalei vevopeing me na lam qe ngeyeing vevek.Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

35En a lam bei pekwi ‘moux ti lalei bo nol wou ma, de neu vex ti lalei bo nol wou ta, me neu vex lalei bo nol wou yeing avexta.For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

36Moux ti eivek xel venaxow eno tyek bo nol wou emaxow xe xel wei xomek o.’A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

37“Xelti embei lalei devind ma luw ta ghanaw ay, eno tyek se bong ambei a xe. Xelti embei lalei devind neu moux aluw neu vex ghanaw ay, ond tyek se bong ambei a xe.Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;

38Me xelti embei se qalei e xe xax pepeeng me betiwou ay, ond se teyei bei bong ambei a xe.and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.

39Tambiy ti embei bong e xe mapieing embo nimza, on tyek na saing e xe mapieing. Dom xelti embei saing e xe mapieing en ay, ond tyek gyeiwou mapieing zonghek.Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

40“Tambiy ti embei qou xam eno qou ay, me eti qou ay eno qou tiwei wong a lam o.He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me.

41Tambiy ti embei qou poropet ti me gyeiteyei en nambei e mi neil qayeeng poropet ond tyek na qou xouveing wei poropet o. Me tambiy ti embei qou xel wei bombek o ti me gyeiteyei en nambei e yon tambiy wei bombek o yon tyek na qou xouveing wei tambiy wei bombek o.Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.

42Me wangwei xelti bong mayamya memiing tyuweing ti wou xel beimambei wei leind maeing on ti en nambei inyon e a xe betiyeing, ond a neil zonghek wou xam bei, moxo tyek se saing e xe xouveing.”And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.”
