Luke 11 (ULK1902)

1Iesu emri nerute uteb ge, ege E esorerapare, eseemuda, ege nerute abara kaimeg giz, E abi detager, kega, Opole, debele ma keribi dereuerare abele esorerapare, mokakalam Ioane de tabara kaimeg giz nereuerare.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.”

2Ege E uiabi detager, kega, Ua esorerapauem mokakalam, kega, Keriba Aba kotor ge, zogoem mara nei. Mamoro mara baselaia sepem uatabu. Ikeroa mabara lag abele geseb ge, mokakalam kotor ge.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Keribi ikuar leuer, nerute gerger a nerute gerger, keribi abkoreb.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Adem dikri keriba uit; abelelam keribibu dikri ui uridili keribi dedkoeda. Nole keriba tegeredare abele mirem, epe keribi ditkedarare uitelam.And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5E ge uiabi nautumerare, kega, Nete uaba tebud, E bakeamulu eipu ki ge, E abi detager, kega, A ma tais neisi netat areto, keubu iako bodomalam;Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6Abelelam, kara tebud emetu tabakeam, a kaka nole leuer kak abi ikuar;because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7E ge abi detager, muige taba meta ge, Nalu ma kari naogatili: emetu peike meta dimiredare, emetu ki eididare omaskerkem; kaka umer kak nakiamlu mari nakuare?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.’

8Kaka uabi detager, kega, Ese E nole ekue abi ikuar, abelelam abara tebud, epe E ikuar gaire lu uridili E laglag, abelelam E elele damosi.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.

9Kaka uabi detager, kega, Debele uaba damos, ueakai uaba nagri; uaba deraimer, ueakai nagri; uaba mudmud, E uabi diski.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.

10Abelelam, ese le abi damos, E nagri; le deraimer, a erdali; le mudmud, E abi diski.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Ese uerem areto damos tabara abalam, nako E abi baker ikuar? Ese abi damos nerute lar, nako E ikuar tabo, a nolea lar kar ikuar?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Ese abi damos kalkal ra uer, nako E ikuar bokani, a nolea ikuar kalkal uer?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Uaba adud tonar, ese uaba umele gaire debe lu naisuerare uaba omasker, mokakalam uaba Aba, emeri Kotor ge, E uabi uadekuarare Lamar Zogo uaba damos?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!”

14E imud nerute demoni, ege E te dabimdabim. Ege demoni baos abielam, ege E mer etkalu, abele le te dabimdabim; ui ge gaire le giz abi damerare.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,

15Uader le batagelare, kega, Belezebul, demoni giz opole, abelelam E umeli demoni imud.but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Uader le giz abi mirem, ege uiaba abi deraimerare atamelam kotorlam.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Ege E opasereret uiaba dikiaporare, E uiabi daratagerare, kega, Gaire baselaia uridili epuli eseamuda; pako boai epuli nolea niaiem ekue.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.

18Ese Satana tababu barili a epuli, nako E umele niaiem ekue, pako abara baselaia? abelelam, pe ua detager, kega, Belezebul, abelelam ka demoni imuda.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Ese kaka namuare demoni Belezebuloelam, netide uanamuare demoni giz a uaba omasker giz? abelelam keubu gerger ge, uabi uaditimerare.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Ese Ade ra tag kaka imud demoni giz, ege Ade ra baselaia emetu tabaruka.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21Ese saserim le nagri ares lu taba meta uanaseseredauem, ia atko kak lu uadaragiri:When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Ese au saserim le uatabakeamu abi uaekesmer, abara ares lu uadais, E au oituli tabara ares lu.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.

23Ese nerute le nolea kari la kak, E nolea kari kemem; ese nerute le nole etami kari dog okakis, E tabara lu derapei.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24Ese lamar uit obaos lelam, E degemli uatuet uteb, ege E deraimer nerezi uteb; nolea uteb kak, ege E detager, kega, Kai ko tarakomelu karba meta, emeret kaka emeri.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.’

25E bakeamulu taba utebem ge, erdar emetu dirup esemulu.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Ege E bakeamulu, taraisare uader sefen lamar, ui au adud abi tumge; a bakeuare barot muige, a bamer: ege E au adud abele le la mop, abele gerger ge ditimedelu.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.”

27E detager abele lu, ege nerute kosker ge, E ereretikri, eipu le lakub, a abi detager, kega, Uerkab ma E osmeda abele kemlam, pako abele nano ma ereli.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!”

28E abi detager, kega, Ageakar, E uerkab abele le asoli Ade ra mer, E asesereda.But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Ege gaire le lakub abim tabakeuare, ege E uiabi daratagerare, kega, Abele nosik au adud; uiaba deraimerare atamelam; a nolea atamelam kak, no abele atamelam Iona perofeta tepteb.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.

30Abelelam, mokakalam Iona abele atamelam Nineua ge, abkoreb Ade ra Uerem abele nosik.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Abele kosker, opole ziai apek, E ekue okakis nosik le ge, abuar ge E uiabi nautumerare, a uiabi bodomalam: abelelam E tabakeam bazmirare ge, E lagelage ueasiri Solomona ra pardale; dasmer, ike abele nerute le, E au kale tumem Solomona.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.

32Ui ge bako Nineua ge, abele gerger ge uanautumerare abele nosik, E uiabi bodomalam: abelelam uiaba obazgeda Iona ra marau; dasmer, ike abele nerute le au kale tumem Iona.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.

33Nolea le emetu disirik lamepa, E ikedilu lokod ge, pako agud saito ge, E ikedi tumge, iaueakai uadatki gaire le emeri be ge.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.

34Pone lamepa ra gem: ese mara pone debele, mara gem uridili nagri datki; ese mara pone adud, a mara gem nolea datki kak.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.

35Marim, nole kupkupi datki muige mari dog.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Ese mara gem uridili nagri datki, nole kupkupi kak, E datki uridili, mokakalam lamepa datki mari dog, au bebe.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.”

37Ege E detaut, nerute Faresaio de abi detager, kega, Kari okakis ereueda: Ege E balu, E emerilu ero.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Ege Faresaio de abi erdar, ege E damerar, abelelam E no eroli, nole tag ogarup kak.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Ege Opole abi detager, kega, Uaba Faresaio uaba dirup abele tanelu ge pako abele kumeti; epe muige pe mitkar poipi a adud tonar.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Uaba paim paim! Le ikeli sor ge, pako muige?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Debele ua aisare uaba lu omare; dasmer, gaire lu uridili uaba ogdirup.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42Uaiai uaba Faresaio giz! abelelam ua aiseda ten mili, pako pekano, pako gaire lu uridili nagri nur ge, a ua dekaerta Ade ra itimer, pako abara omare: abkoreb ikeli abele lu, a nole dikaer abele lu.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.

43Uaiai uaba Faresaio giz! abelelam ua au lagelag bao aule sunago ge, pako omare gizakos uteb.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Uaiai uaba aotale pako Faresaio, ua bes le giz! abelelam uaba mokakalam ao giz espi, ese le tumem uadegemeli, umer kak.Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Epe nerute gelar giz, ereuer le, E abi detager, kega, Ereuer le, mama keribi dedkoeda, mara mer peike keribim.One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Ege E daratagerare, kega, Uaiai uaba gelar giz ko! abelelam uaba nole dekmerik uaba lu uaba no ikuar nerute le, uaba tag pem nole.“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.

47Uaiai uaba! abelelam uaba ao emorare perofeta, a uaba kaied giz a uiabi ipit.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Epe uaba etomeret tonar uaba kaied giz, pako sererege: abelelam uiaba ipit, a uaba emorare uiaba ao.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Ege Ade ra pardali detaut, Kaka uiabi namarida perofeta pako aposetola giz; uiaba uader ipit a uader damrik;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.’

50Iaueakai abele nosik deraimer gaire perofeta ra mam, babused abele kerker ge ditimedelu geseb ge;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,

51A ditimed Abela ra mam bakedida Sakaria ra mam, uiaba ipit eipu neres ge, maike Zogo meta: ageakar, kaka uabi detagereda, kega, E deraimerare abele nosik.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.

52Uaiai uaba gelar giz, ereuer le! abelelam ua aisare ki pardar: ua nole barot, a ua daisumda uader lagelag barot.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.”

53Ege abele mer E uiabi detager, uiaba aotale a Faresaio giz au ueku; uige abi mirem itimerare gaire lu gem;As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54A ui ge deraimerare abara merem E ua detaut, a ui ge natomertare.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
