amn: Eso el bihianam heafena lala gam ikana.


eng: But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins—” (then he said to the paralytic), “Get up, and take up your mat, and go to your house.”

amn: Afa yuwaba ka nem wagfunag Inim El eba ese fe nuhwef hugufafatif.” Eso kig lihligna elim sihina, “Bihianam kug lala gam faku.”

amn: Afa nihe mo anwana el Sisasim higinim. Enag hefum sihiageni og, “Enag elbi amtakwalig mo sihig. Ehe Godna sigagwa gohug.”


eng: Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.”

amn: Kig lihligna elim mingnag el yisgofbog wa Sisas nangum flihuna. Sisas nanguagnam ehengelni olug onigigim afa kig lihligna elim sihina og, “Nilite, so ma neana olug kifutig gofi, ati ka neana mungwali nufwefbi hugufafatig.”


eng: He entered into a boat and crossed over, and came into his own city.

amn: Eso Sisas bot wa fukunam ikana. Afa ehegam ikana heafna kimbig wa puguna.


eng: Behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.

amn: Afa mungwali el kimbig wanai ahunam Sisasim ufini. Afa nangunim ehem kifutig mo sihini og, “So na kangelni ohuna bitem wahia ika.”


eng: He said to them, “Go!” They came out and went into the herd of pigs; and behold, the whole herd of pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea and died in the water.

amn: Afa Sisas ehengelim sihini og, “Sa ahu!” Afa nimbasa eheningim wahianim tata wa ahu saho gona eso enag enaksag tata kikini ahunam bu wa apaigo gonam mungwali pigina.


eng: The demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs.”

amn: Afa enag nimbasa Sisasim hugna sahini og, “Afa kam ningitigiba eso ka ahunam sonag enaksag tatana elig saho go.”


eng: Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.

amn: Afa muhlagig enaksag tata fane enanai yi ahagahu.


eng: Behold, they cried out, saying, “What do we have to do with you, Jesus, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”

amn: Eheningi ahunena og, “Ainiyag ne Godna leg asegba ne kam esenig? Eba mahisife ateaho ne yawo kam amtakwalig mungo faigim?”


eng: When he came to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way.

amn: Afa Sisas bu ehengam ikanam afa Gadara bite wa puguna. Afa sambaganingi el nimbasa simbigahlaule hugskug hun meg menai agfwahanam afa Sisas ahufana. Eheningi elim hugna kwagaiti ahfiahkafena eso el mas ena mina ahui.

amn: Enag el sineminefinim hefum sahigini og, “Sonag elbi eba ahanaig el eso fufei i bu i ehena mom so higig?”


eng: He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.

amn: Sisas wahigi sihini og, “Ahnaig esegba so na embefig? Nengelni olug onigig wesig klug.” Eso ehe bihianam fufei mi bu mi kweniba eso bifwat tigiafona.

amn: Eso pahlukuiag el ahu Sisasim ilafuni og, “Ainiyag, kam kwagan, muhwa ati bigim awai ofe!”


eng: Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves; but he was asleep.

amn: Nalig bifwat ikagna bu mina bona afa bu bona bot megam sahua minefena. Afa Sisas non gifini.


eng: When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.

amn: Sisas ehem sihini og, “Mangofi, kam pahluku. Aman ati wahag enaig el so ma heafgelni melig pigieg elim bite wa skui.”

eng: Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”

amn: Afa Sisas ehem sihina og, “Afa sangwali mawang bite meg ati go enana yi gig afa twafigni gag ati feg afa Inim Elbi heafna kugigbi awai.”


eng: When evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,

amn: Osupegnam el numb nimbasa simbigahlaule elim wan ambugoguhna Sisas nangum mahim mo esonaba eso nimbasam ningitigina afa mungwali gih elim lahla fetifena.


eng: He touched her hand, and the fever left her. So she got up and served him.

amn: Sisas ehenam ningam tohnamba gih gweyi awaienaba afa so bihianam Sisasim fane tuhlu faina.


eng: When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.

amn: Sisas ikana Pitana lala sahonam nangunaba Pitana kuwag gihna kugwa gifni ehena elig hugna nolugenagena.


eng: Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed.” His servant was healed in that hour.

amn: Sisas amini misog elim sihina, “Seika eba neana gafugag elbi lahlafefe eso neana olug onigig wa enaig gohug.” Afa mahim sihiagaf gofnamba elbi enaba ati lahlafena.


eng: I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven,

amn: Afa ka nem sihinig el numb osu puguag wanai osu peg wanai ambugonam afa Abraham Aisak Jekopna wahlanam eso saiyenam Godna bog megam augunam ahgaf.


eng: When Jesus heard it, he marveled and said to those who followed, “Most certainly I tell you, I haven’t found so great a faith, not even in Israel.

amn: Sisas ena mom higinam ehena olug gufifukona afa el eso ehem pahlukuna enam sihini og, “Ka nem inim sihinig mas ka amanim mungo Israel wanai elimba olug onigi nalig feg ohunaig elbi nanguna mo.

amn: Amini misog el ehem sihina og, “Amunai, kaba lahlag el mo na ne kana lalagamba bo, isug mo bihig sihiba so ma kana gafugag elbi lahlafei.


eng: Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

eng: saying, “Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented.”

amn: Og, “Amunai, kana gafugag el gihegba lala gi. Ati kigba mungwali lihlifeg afa tautig naligfeg.”


eng: When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him for help,

amn: Sisas ika Kaperneam kimbig wa pugunaba afa amini misog el Rom wanai enag bona Sisasim sahna.


eng: Jesus said to him, “See that you tell nobody; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

amn: Afa Sisas ehem sihina og, “Nofe ne elim sihin. Ikanam prisim nimbeafna eligim wagfunim afa so Godum faig enaig autunam Moses ati sihi wahiana eso ma anwanafi neana gih ati lahlafeg.”


eng: Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

amn: Sisas tuhnam sihina og, “Ei ka membeg, so na lahlafefe.” Mahim enaig esonaba ikagna ena gihba awaiena elbi enaba pugu lahlafena.


eng: Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”

amn: Afa el elig amtakwaligna sefig lepra bonam mong kokoni kwakwagena Sisasim sihina og, “Ainiyag ne membegba eba so na kam lahlafe fati.”


eng: When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

eng: for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.

amn: Mang nihe mo anwana el mo wagfug, eba awai. Eba gwenag anwana el nemug fena.


eng: When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,

amn: Sisas mahim ena mo sihinaba, el nubwel kwamblo i afa humuan i sineminefini ehena anwanagim.


eng: The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell—and its fall was great.”

amn: Afa mahim bu nalig fenam bu i bugo i bifwat i fenam eso ena lalaba tofupef.”


eng: Everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.

amn: Afa aman kana mom higinam afa pahlubu hwanigba eba naho etetig el eso lalaba engig sisiyi nimblag wahiagba.


eng: “Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock.

amn: Sisas enaig esona, “Aman kana mom hignam pahlukuiagofiba eba naho lahlag onigig el enag lalaba bite kifutig yi nimblag.


eng: Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’

amn: Enanam ka esof ne mang kana inim el mo. Nengel amtakwalig el gwesim ahu.”


eng: Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’

amn: Enanam ka mungwali elim kwefihiagefe el kam sihinif og ‘Ainiyag Ainiyag’, ati ka neana unehlag wa mo fi sihiahug. Afa neana unehlag wa ati ka nimbasa amtakwalig ningitigif afa neana unehlag wa ka ahanaig ahanaig kigmog wagfug.


eng: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

amn: “Mungwali el eso kam sefig og ‘Ainiyag Ainiyag’ eba mas ahui Godna bog megam saigoi, awai. Aman kana awagna sawiegim pahlukuiba eba ena ho Godna bog megamba osahu.


eng: Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

amn: Eso ne nangwag ehengelni nihem afa eso ne anwanafi eba naho mwakwal el Godna mo fi sihiule.


eng: Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

amn: Mungwali li amtakwalig mas fug lahlag lei enaba higfihig afa wambug suwi wa aitig.


eng: A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.

amn: Afa li lahlag mas fug amtakwali lei afa li amtakwalig mas fug lahlag lei.


eng: Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.

amn: Eba enaig eseg li lahlag fug mungwali lahlag leg afa li amtakwaliba fug amtakwali leg.


eng: By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?

amn: Eso ne nangwag ehengelni nihem eso ne anwanafi ehe enaig esig. Afa nasna we mas aibi lei afa tautigna li mas fwatamofba lugwi.


eng: “Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in by it.

amn: Sisas esona og, “Nengel asa mengig wetiklug megam asa ne saiyego. Mengig awaieg minaba eba kwania fegim afa pigiageg gwenaig ihlafeg afa ena minagamba kaksag el fafufiafu.


eng: How narrow is the gate and the way is restricted that leads to life! There are few who find it.

amn: Afa mengig ikag nofkikena fagba eba wetiklug nemug ena minaba ahanaig esig mungwali el pahlukuihia mo eba mungo mungo el ehe ena minaba yisigi nangug.”


eng: If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

eng: Or who is there among you who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?

amn: Afa luwal eso awagim sahanafe kam amba fai eso awag hun fagim faig enaigho esifafef? Awai.


eng: For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.

amn: Eso mungwali el Godum sahnigim eso mangwalba wambufug. El mangwalba yisigifiba eba nangufe. Afa el mengigiba otigefiba eba God piginafe.


eng: “Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

amn: Sisas esona, “Nengel ne Godum mangimba sahnibi eba ne fif. Afa ne yisigibi eso ne nanguf. Ne mengigiba tigibi eba God nem pitigiefonfie.


eng: “Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

amn: Nengel nofe ne mangwalba finim Godum so ati mwalunum afa mawangim faigo afa nimbeafgelni lahlag nemug engig nofe ne tatam aitigon masa pigaskofif masa nem wahgi kwaskofif.”


eng: Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?

amn: Afa ne nilitem nangunam afa esog nilite ka nem fungisge noflanai weti fla fatina. Afa mas ne nimbef mo ne onigi mo aga nimbeafna nofla sa gi.


eng: Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ and behold, the beam is in your own eye?

amn: Ahnaig esegba eso ne esog nilite ka nem hunisege wesig neana nofwanai fa fatina afa nimbef mo aga nofwa gi.


eng: You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.

amn: Eba ne sambaga mengig el yuwana nimbeafna nofwanai aga fa fatinam afa numwehe nangufe eso nimbeafna nilite na nofwanai mo fa fatina.


amn: Eba ne sambaga mengig el ilawana nimbeafna noflanai aga fla fatinam afa numwehe nangufe asa nimbeafna nilite na noflanai mo fla fatina.


eng: For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.

amn: Godba nengelni minag ahuagim fahigihagefe eso ati ne mingnag elim esegonug eba gwenaig esef. Eso ne mingnag elim ahanaig hili faigog eba gwenai hili nem faif.


eng: “Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged.

amn: Afa Sisas esona, “Nofe ne mingnag elni minag ahuagim fahigegonugi afa enaig esogo sohnaba el amtakwalig ne enaigba esibi ma so God nem gwenaig esenif.


eng: Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.

amn: Nofe ne siniba hugna onig eba enmuna kinig puguf. Yawonai kinig eba heafa gwenanam mungo.”


eng: But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

amn: Afa enaig ne esofifiba eba so Godna bog megim gosu onigibi afa eso ne ehena lahlag nihe gosu pahlukuiba eba so nem mingnag gawig gaba nem faif.


eng: For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

amn: Nofe ne enaksag onigwagi afa esogo mang fane afa bu big ahgaf afa esogo mang lofug big aitiagif?


eng: But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith?

amn: Pos gaba afa siniba eba ati higfihinim suwi wa wambaitif. Enaig posba God ehe agiageg wahiag. Afa eso nengel wesig olug onigina eso ne numwehe onigi neanga Godba nem gau faif.


eng: Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin,

amn: “Ahnaig esegba eso ne hugunam lofugumba onigig. Ati ne li sisigimba nangug ahanaig opukefig. Ehe mas kifutig gafugafei afa lofugba gweli.

eng: “Which of you by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?

amn: Aman so nengelinai hugna onigigem eso heafna nofkikenaba hili wahiaf?


eng: See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?

amn: Ati ne twafigim nangwagig mas faneba yihi afa mas agogloiaginim fane lalaba sugum. Nengelni awag hevenwa ga enag so faneba faig. Ateaho so na twafigimba flafug?


eng: “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and Mammon.

amn: Sisas enaig esona og, “Mas aman sambaga misog elni mom higinam pahlukui. Eba ming mo membeba afa ming mo kusif afa eso ehe ming i mo hignaiba afa ming i mo mas fatinafe. Nofe ne Godna gafugag mi afa kig gafugag mi wambtigi”.


eng: But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

amn: Afa neana nofug amtakwaleba eba neana elig mungwali sikifig. Afa afwambusugug so sahog neana nihi go enag kikiefiba eba nalig kikifef.”


eng: “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.

amn: Sisas enaig esona, “Nofugba eligni afwambusugug neana nofug lahlag gohugba eba neana elig mungwali afwambusig.


eng: for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

amn: Afa ahnanai yi neana lahlag gawig go eso neana olug enanai yi go.”


eng: “Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;

eng: “Moreover when you fast, don’t be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.

amn: Afa ne mingnag elni amtakwalig mo ismunagim hugufati gonug hwanigba eba nengelni awag mas nengelni amtakwalig mo ismunagim hugufatini.”


eng: “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

amn: “Sa higim ne mingnag elni amtakwalig mo ismunagim hugufatiniba eba nengelni awag heven wa ga enag nengelni amtakwalig mo ismunagim hugufati nif.

eng: Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

eng: Pray like this: “‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.

eng: “When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward.

amn: Sisas enaig esona, “Ne Godimba asahinifibi nofe ne sambaga mengigna el lufwag eba enaig esifafif nuwagig lala afa mina meigim agfohiaba eso beteni og ma kam mingnag el nangwagi. Ka nem inim mo sihinig enag mungwag faig ehe ati piske fig.

amn: Ne membeg ne og ka isug elim kwaganim eba so nihiginai ninga ofefiba eba mas sahaganai ninga anwanafei.


eng: Therefore, when you do merciful deeds, don’t sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.

amn: “Afa ne membeg ne og ka isug elim mang faigo ne nofe ka elim gof ningitigi eso ma afag gofiba eso ati sambaga mengig el enaig esifafif nuwagig lala afa mina wa enaig esogonibi eso ma el ehengelni unehlagim figifegoni. Ka nem inim sihinig enag mungwag faig ehe ati piske fig.

eng: nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

amn: Afa nofe ne bitemba sefinim afa kifutig mo sihi ena bite eba God enanai yi mong pafeuguia. Nofe ne Jerusalemimba sefinim afa kifutig mo sihi eba nalig misog elni kimbig.


eng: but I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;

amn: Afa yawo ka nem osihin nofe ne inim enaigba esogo. Nofe ne hevenimba sefinim afa kifutig mo sihi, hevenba eba Godna kwefihiage sime.


eng: but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.

eng: “It was also said, ‘Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,’

amn: Sisas esona og, “Autunam enaig esogona og, ‘Aman heafna angwafigim ningihiagba eba so angwafigni ningihiag pepa faifni.’


eng: If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.

amn: Afa eso neana nihiginai ninga amtakwaligim keahlaf eba so higifanam fati so ma enaig awaie eba mas neana elig mungwali suwilagig kimbig wa fati.”


eng: If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.

amn: Afa eso neana nihiginai nofug amtakwaligim nangunam eseba enaba so fagafati so ma enaig awaie eba mas neana elig mungwali suwilagig kimbig wa fati.


eng: “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery;’

amn: Sisas enaig esona og, “Ati ne higig autunam enaig esogona og nengel angwafigni nofeka aga taitu fi.


eng: Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there until you have paid the last penny.

amn: Ka nem inim sihinig neba kalabus lala gafiba afa ma ne mungwali kig piske faiba eso nem wahif.”


eng: Agree with your adversary quickly while you are with him on the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.

amn: “Afa so nem el ogna kot ena ne mina wa ahkafiba eso ati ikagna sihiagaf. Eba ma so nem oku kwefihiage elni ninga nem wa wahiaf afa ehe nem oku plismanna ninga wa wahiaiba, eso plisman mo nem kalabus yi wahiaf.

amn: Afa so na sime wa Godum faigim obofuf afa so na piske oningig nimbeafna nilite nem ahanaig mo sihinaf.


eng: But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment. Whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ will be in danger of the council. Whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.

amn: Afa yawo ka nem osihin el so heafna nilitem olug kakagenag eba pugu kotef. Afa aman so heafna nilitem amtakwalig mo faig enaba kaunsil nai ika pugui afa el esof ‘Neba lahlag el mo’ enaba ma suwilagig kimbigam ikai, awaiye.


eng: “You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not murder;’ and ‘Whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’

amn: Sisas esona og, “Ati ne higig ena moba simbianingam fini og, ‘Nofeka elimba tigifati afa aman enaigba eseiba eba pugu kotef.’


eng: For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

amn: Ka nem inim sihinig afa neana nihe farisi elni afa nihe mo anwana elni lahlag nihem filafeg hwanigba eba mas ne Godna bog megam sahoi.”


eng: Therefore, whoever shall break one of these least commandments and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

amn: Enaig eseg afa aman wesig nihe mo mas fatinafe eba mingnag elim wagfunig so ma gwenaig esi enaig elbi Godna bog megam wesig nemug feg. Afa aman el ena nihe mo pahlukunam elim ogfu fenugeba eba Godna bog megam ehe gosuf.


eng: For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.

amn: Ka nem inim sihinig, mahim of i bite i awaieba, mas ena nihe moba wesig nemug awaie, awai eba nihe moba gwese gofnaba afa so mungwali pugug.


eng: “Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill.

amn: Sisas enaig esona og, “Nofeka onig neaga kam og bo Mosesna nihe mo afa mo fi sihiaule elni mo fingi fati me eba awai, eba ka yuhwa fenagef.


eng: Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

amn: Afa so ma nengelni afwambusugug mingnag el nangui. Afa so ma nengelni lahlag nihem nanguagi eso ne esig. Eso ma nengelni Humuana unehlagim heven wanai fingi fi.”


eng: Neither do you light a lamp and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.

amn: El so wi gafagim mas meagam kumoahlai eba awai, eba ambagwa gafa oku afa enaba lalanai elim mungwali afwambusugufenig.


eng: You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.

amn: Nengelbi bitena afwambusugug. Kimbig sisyi mug wa gi enag mas meagam sahoi.


eng: “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.

amn: “Nengelbi bite na sol. Afa solba miaklaba awaieba so na ahanaig esibi, so ma piske miaklafei? Enaig solba so mas gafugafei eba el kukofef fatigim afa mongni pigageg.


eng: Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

eng: Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

eng: Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.

eng: Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

eng: He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,

eng: Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.

amn: Sisas el enaksagim nangwagnam afa so mug gam fukukana. Mug wa fuko gafenaba afa heafna pahlukuiag el ehem ningi ahuna.

eng: The report about him went out into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics; and he healed them.

eng: They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.

amn: Sambaganigi heafningina bot na afa awag na ahwatinam ahkana Sisasim ahpahlukuna.


eng: Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them.

amn: Sisas wankan afa ming etesuminegim nangwagna Sebedini legnigim Jems mi Jon mi afa heafningina awag bot wa auguiafenaba fufwala kukohiag kwalig afafna. Sisas uneni.


eng: They immediately left their nets and followed him.

eng: Walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

amn: Sisas Galili bu blugmini ikan sambaganigi etesuminegim nangwagna Saimon Pita mi Andru mi. Sambaganigi fufwalana sawugim kigiag ohofefna. Sambaganigiba sawug gafuga ahfegofna.


eng: From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”

amn: Enanam Sisas mo sihiagena og, “Godna bog meg ati bog so na olug wahigifinim saho ahu.”


eng: the people who sat in darkness saw a great light; to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, to them light has dawned.”

eng: Then Jesus said to him, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’”

amn: Afa Sisas sihina og, “Satan, esimika Godna mo enaig esog, ‘Godum ahnai skaugfenam afa so heafna unehlagim mungo fingife.’”


eng: He said to him, “I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me.”

amn: Afa Sisasim sihina og, “Ma ne kam mongkokug kwakwagenam kana unehlagim fingi feiba, ka so nem bite i gawig i mungwali faif.”


eng: Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

amn: Satan Sisasim mungwanam mug gam fuko wanikinam afa so mungwali bite i afa lahlag gawig i wagfunagena.


eng: Jesus said to him, “Again, it is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God.’”

amn: Sisas sihina og, “Godna mo enaig esog, ‘Nofeka Ainiyagim nimbiafna Godum gihna.’”


eng: and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you don’t dash your foot against a stone.’”

amn: Afa Sisasim sihina og, “Afa ne Godna leg fegba eba so na sofuku pekai eba ati Godna mo sihig; Eba heafna ofwanai elim sihiniba ofwanai el ambugog nem ningana kikehli apaigohuf eba mas nem hun sig mong yi pifuf.”


eng: Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

amn: Mahim Sisas enaig sihifenaba Satan Sisasim sulfanam Jerusalem gam wanikina. Wanikina Godna nalig lala wofugug sisia nemug wa washona.


eng: But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth.’”

amn: Afa Sisas esona og, “Godna moba enaig esog og, ‘Amba mungo mas elim nofkikenagagba fai. Godna mo mungohe eba so elimba nofkikenagagba fai.’”

amn: Afa Satan bona ehem puguna afa sihina og, “Afa ne Godna leg fegba eba sona hunim esoiba soma amba lofei.”


eng: When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.

amn: Afa 40 osuna Sisas mas fane nenamo, mahim 40 osuna awaienaba ehem hugna bini wahana.


eng: Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

amn: Godna Sungwag Sisasim el hwanigam wanikina og ma Satan gihnai.


eng: Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

amn: Afa mengig hevenwa wagofna og, “Sohna elbi eba kana leg, ka ehem hugna membenag. Ka olug ehem lahlafenag.”


eng: But Jesus, answering, said to him, “Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed him.

amn: Afa Sisas mungwag ehem sihina og, “Esese, ati ka nem sihinag. Enaig big esahfeba eba ati big Godna sawieg wa big sahof.” Afa so Jon ehena mom pahlukuna.

amn: Afa Jon ehem gwenam afa esona og, “Nemble he kam buwa fati. Ahnaig esegba nana ka nanguba bog?”


eng: Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.

amn: Afa enanam Sisas Galili wahianam Jordan wa pugunam bona Jon nangum og ma kam Jon buwa fati.


eng: His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.”

amn: Elbi enaba oboba forkba ningana fagim ogna hunisege mungwali wambuhiage witinai. Ogna wit agogloi heafna wit lala wahia afa hunisege mo wambinam suwi wa aitif.”


eng: “I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.

amn: Mal ati li mog wa gi. Li fug lahlag lugwag hwanigba, eba higfihinim suwi wa aitif.


eng: Don’t think to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father,’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

amn: Nofeka enaig onigwagi Abraham kagelni simbianinga eso ka gaba lahlag el. Ka nem sihinig God ehe eseba ohuna hunba Abrahamna simbianingag opuko gofe.


eng: Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance!

amn: So na lahlag nihe fi eso ma el anwanafi ne ati inim olug wahigifig.

eng: and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets that he will be called a Nazarene.

eng: But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee,

eng: “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”

amn: Ehe og, “Ese piske Israelgam angwafigni luwalnam wanika. Ati elbi pigig ogna ehem tigi kumwahli.”


eng: But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,

amn: Afa mahim Herotim wahanaba, Ainiyagna ofwanai el Isipi yi Josepim itiwa pugu sihinagena.


eng: Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,

eng: “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she wouldn’t be comforted, because they are no more.”

amn: Afa Rama nai el higni Resel ati heafna luwaligim wenaufena. Elbi ahanaig kwenifini mo, awai. Eba ehena luwalig mungwali awaiena mas aman mo gafena mo.


eng: Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.

amn: Herot nengeawan afa mas anwana el ambugog ehem opukona mo, heafa kam mwakwalinig. Eso olug kakagenam afa mingnag elim ningitigina Betlehemgam og ma luwalim mungwali kwakskofeahui. Luwalba ninganai enaba sambaga yia enaig og masa kwakskofeahui.

eng: He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,

amn: Josep bihianam pugu wankana sinaini Isipgim.


eng: Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”

amn: Ainiyagna ofwanai el bona Josepim itiwa sihinagena og, “Pugu wanka Isipgim ikanam eyi wangafum ka ma nem sihinaiba eso Herot luwalim oyisgi og ka tigefaka.”


eng: Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.

amn: Itiwa God bo sihini og, “Nofe ne piske Herot nangum ahu.” Eso ehengel wahgifini ming minagam heafgelni kimbigamba ahuna.


eng: They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

eng: They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them until it came and stood over where the young child was.

amn: Afa ehengel ena mom higinim asa afuna afa bagnofna ombusug ilawana asa osu puguiag la nangunibi enag esena ika sisi gofna enanai yi sa luwal gifni.


eng: When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.

eng: He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”

amn: Herot sahinigenam eso Betlehemgam ningitigina og, “Ahunam yisigiahu, nangunim eso kam ambugog sihini. Ka so ikanam mongkokug kwakwagenam ehena unehlam figefuku.”


eng: Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.

amn: Herot enag afwambanai anwana elim efkweg moana fasahtigifiage na og amansi bagnofutni afwambusugbi puguna.


eng: ‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah; for out of you shall come a governor who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’”

eng: “Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”

amn: Afa sahini og, “Ahana nai yi luwalba gohug eba Ju elni misog el? Ehena bagnufut osu puguag wa ka nangugum naso ka ambugog gohug koka ehena unehlagim figifi.”


eng: Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,

amn: Maria Sisasim Betlehemwa wanigana, ena provins Judia. Enanam Herot misog el gofnaba. Afa enanam osu pugug wanai anwana el, ambugona Jerusalem wa opukonam.


eng: and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.

amn: Angwafigbi fanam mas mungo kugwa ahgini mo awai isug ahfena afa eso luwal fagona waniganaba. Afa eso ehe Sisasim unehlana.


eng: Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

amn: Enaba pugunaba Ainiyag ati Godna mo fi sihiule elni mengig wa sihi wahianaba ena moba inim puguna, mo fi sihiule el esona og;


eng: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”

amn: “Higim, angwafig mungo angwaming awagwa ga hwainig enogni afa fagonai luwal fokwaf. Afa unehlagba Emanuelim sefif.” Enag mog unehlagba ‘God bigim wanga.’


eng: She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”

eng: But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

amn: Josep enam onigkafnaba afa itiwa Godna ofwanai el bona ehem puguna. Enag ofwanai el esona og, “Josep Devitna simbianinga nofeka Mariam fagimba embef. Sa hig enaba enogni wanigiahba el mas enaig eseg mo eba Godna Sungwag ehe faig enag luwalba.

amn: Ehena ligag Josep eba lahlag el. Ehe ogna ehem fagim wahia. Ehe mo ambagwa sihiagim kusina afa so mas Mariam ahwanef mo faina mo.


eng: Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
