aoj: “Owaꞌ owaꞌatin. Esis sandaꞌana nataga nape king dembinai ama main, notanima nafiꞌi. Eaꞌ naꞌi, ‘Falai amom amamba mandaꞌ maoli fowaꞌ aeꞌ agasoꞌam monii. Aeꞌ aꞌi ataꞌ egawa moni wamani maꞌufin amom hiami atona atin mogofaꞌani.’


eng: He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.

aoj: Anen naꞌi niti Jisasa nogogawana anen mamahonama. Owaꞌ amam nematawa wambelisi hiasi salutu siliꞌak. Sakius anen bandabandana, eaꞌ ina nati Jisas, owaꞌ.


eng: Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.

aoj: Owaꞌ nameꞌ esis hiasi safiꞌi sikilaꞌana safeꞌ, nahaliꞌas naꞌi, “Esis sandaꞌ main notaga?”


eng: He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,

aoj: Jisas nasoꞌam basef wamon atin alipumi ananimi ma nigihimbaꞌmam mondabeten nimaguf danda ma amom ina alaꞌuta toham ukup iwanip, owaꞌi.


eng: Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?”

aoj: Owaꞌ anom motanima mifiꞌi mefela agol Godia? Aman anamba anagon daiagininai, anen atotona.”


eng: If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

aoj: Ipaꞌ iꞌi owaꞌ pimafi moni uga maim magape itap apaꞌea, anaf ami neseꞌepa hiahawes buꞌwasi endilisi pigimafias? Owaꞌatin endilisi.


eng: I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.

aoj: Deiꞌ Jisas naꞌipas naꞌi, “Aeꞌ aꞌipipa eaꞌ naꞌamba atina esis amam nematawa sagape heveni sandagala kwasakwasala ma epes isimba 99-pelais amboꞌwes, ina sandaꞌ waf awafi ma sotanima sogambema nelelemb, owaꞌ. Apaꞌ iꞌi anin epen nendaꞌ waf awafii niꞌi negambema nembel, atiasi esis sagape heveni sondagala aꞌowaꞌ ma anin.


eng: When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’

aoj: Nafiꞌi nataga ipat ananitai, nofalai esis alipisi ananisi saloma esis anen wambel atembel sandakolas atogon. Eaꞌ naꞌipas naꞌi, ‘Ipaꞌ pendagala peloma aeꞌ! Anona sipsip aeꞌanai higilalana, owaꞌ aeꞌ afaꞌ elaomana itanima ifaꞌanai eaꞌ.’”


eng: He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’

aoj: Nemaf dondoꞌafi endilisi ma gwaꞌaisi isimba fataga, eaꞌ nasapaꞌ anona nandaꞌ maola anini nafeꞌ naꞌipa epes isimba fowaꞌ nogofalasi. Eaꞌ naꞌipas naꞌi, ‘Ipaꞌ fiꞌi. Hiahaom hiami mandandombol mape eaꞌ.’


eng: He said, “What is God’s Kingdom like? To what shall I compare it?

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas naꞌias wapani naꞌi, “Epes sogawis nomona maol Godi nope Dembinai nugumafias siꞌi main? Aeꞌ indilaꞌwaifam iꞌimama?


eng: Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”

aoj: Ipaꞌ wapani silisilawi pendape. Deiꞌ main? Aeꞌ ataga epen egefaꞌ alop epesi, ifiꞌi anef nemaf ipaꞌ ina atiasi pegawa piꞌi ifiꞌi ulal nemaf afamba, owaꞌ.”


eng: “Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.

aoj: Ipeꞌ pendaꞌ luwaguf ipeꞌimi bandam, pewahoꞌ legw, eaꞌ pekata lamifah pendondombol pindumafuma pepe.


eng: Be like men watching for their lord when he returns from the wedding feast, that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.

aoj: Ipaꞌ pendape siꞌi epes sape sagasasa aman dembinai asasinai naꞌi nokwaha gwaꞌaisi luꞌwasi sandasoꞌamai notanima nogafiꞌi. Iꞌi nifiꞌi noha uta ipat ananitai, esis suwisiꞌmanota kwafalis.


eng: Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”

aoj: “Ipaꞌ amam gawaipai pegegawa muꞌuli Godi, aeꞌ aꞌi uwahipipa ma nimanimi akafimi luꞌwami anaf mogatagamipai. Ipaꞌ aꞌ pelefata ki inimba pegefaꞌ gawani. Ipaꞌ atipa ina pawisiꞌ uta pawis nomon, owaꞌ. Ipaꞌ pahefa ufiaꞌwa anis saꞌi sogawis nomoni.”


eng: But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.

aoj: Apaꞌ hiahaom magala nomon kahi plegw ipeꞌisii, amamba ipaꞌ pendaꞌam peseꞌ epes kwahusi petopalopas. Iꞌi ipaꞌ pendaꞌas naꞌamba, atiasi hiahawes hiasi ipeꞌisi ambeꞌes hililiꞌ.


eng: It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”

aoj: Jisas ataꞌ naꞌi basef ifimba atin owaꞌ, anis epes hiasi safiꞌi salipana. Eaꞌ anoꞌw nemataꞌw kwape laꞌafena esis kwaꞌi naꞌamba kwaꞌi, “Nemataꞌw akwamba fowaꞌ kogolaena ma kwagaseꞌena nomambeh ineꞌi, akoꞌw kwandagala.”


eng: “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?

aoj: “Iꞌi anin awani nigahaliꞌ ahaman ananini nogasoꞌan anol aol, anen ina atiasi nosoꞌan anol ul awali, owaꞌatin.


eng: Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”

aoj: Inaꞌ nekwahomapa waf awafi apeꞌifi okom moseꞌenaf. Deiꞌ main? Apaꞌ wapani makwahomasa waf awafi anis sandaꞌmapafi ukup pasoꞌapaf. Inaꞌ owaꞌi neꞌwapa mefeꞌma hiahaom ahifimi mogogwamba apeꞌia.”


eng: Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you.

aoj: Eaꞌ anan naꞌipam naꞌi, “Aeꞌ ati Satan nowai heven siꞌi otaga holala ma dililimbugwalag. Pemeꞌ, aeꞌ aseꞌepa pepel ipeꞌ ma nambimb laꞌifipa pefaꞌasa iguf awami wandafumi moloma awisiguf. Ama laꞌifipa piliꞌamona epen aonai Satan naloma pepel hianai ananinai. Eaꞌ ina nambimb anom amamaga mohambombagepa, owaꞌ.


eng: But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.

aoj: Nemaf afamba God nogawaloga epesafi, niti esis fowaꞌ sagape Tairi Saidoni uwahipis kwasakwasala. Apaꞌ ipaꞌ anen ina niti uwahipipa, owaꞌ. Anaf pefaꞌ akafimi luꞌwami awami endilisi.


eng: Into whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.

aoj: Iꞌi ipaꞌ pefeꞌ pigawis anin taun ama esis sofaꞌepa pegafeꞌ ifagw asasigwi, ipaꞌ pefaꞌ gwaꞌaisi esis sagatambeꞌmepas ipeꞌi.


eng: He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

aoj: Eaꞌ naꞌipa anona aman daiana naꞌi, “Inaꞌ nifiꞌi nila aeꞌ.” Owaꞌ anen naꞌi, “Aeꞌ aꞌi ataꞌ epe imafi ahame ataꞌ etopalopana ma nogaꞌ iwana nogapani ifiꞌi ilina.”
