amn: Afa so gan gweyi oniginam esona og, ‘Afa kana Humuana gafugag elni mungwaliba eba faneba nalighe gohun, afa ka ohuna nai yi gahba kam bini hugunam wahageg.


eng: He wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.

amn: Afa eheba tatam fane fainim mahim ahgageafufnaba afa tatam nangogawan mahim ehem bini wahanaba eso ogna tatana fane wambenefena afa mas aman fane faina mo.


eng: He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

amn: Sahinugeakan el mungo tatam wangafna enag fa tata gafugag wa ningihiana og, ma tatam nangwaghige gofi.


eng: When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.

eng: Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.

eng: He said, “A certain man had two sons.

amn: Afa Sisas piske enaig sihigena og, “El sambaganigi luwal feg.


eng: Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”

amn: Afa Sisas enaig esona og, “Ka nem yuhwa mo sihinig. Enaig sifakalba eba gwenaig Godna ofwanai el gaba esig mahim amanba olug wahigi feg Ainiyagna mina gamba puguba.”


eng: When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost!’

amn: Eso heafna hihem afa mungo kimbig wanaim unetigigim og, ‘Ei au ambugog nawo sifakali kig mungo kana awaiena ka yisgiegohug ati ka piskeg fag’”


eng: “Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?

amn: Afa Sisas enaig sihifena og, “Angwafig sambaga ningam pugufewagig kig enaig feg afa mungo awaieg lala wa afa so ehe wi gafagim pupohiageakahba mahimsi yisgiego, feg feg ufagim.


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.

amn: Sisas enaig esona. Ka nem inim osihin ahanaig sifakal so hevenwaba puguf eba mahim mungo el amtakwalig nihe nai olug wahigifeg eba nalig feg, afa enaig sifakalba 99 elbi gwenaig lahlag agfohie eba gweyiagig feg.

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!’

amn: Afa mahim lalagam obugum eso heafna hihem afa mungo kimbig wanaim unetigigim og, ‘Au ambugog nawo sifakali kana sipsip mungo awaiena ati ka piskeg ufagim sulufa obug.’


eng: When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

amn: Afa ufagim eso fokwag ohumbug wa kufehlag ombuahba ehe mo sifakale bo.


eng: “Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?

amn: Og, “Eba el nengelnai 100 sipsip feg afa mahim mungo mo awaiegba afa so 99 mungo agfohieba faneba ahu ahgage agfo. Afa enag el mas wahiai eba mahimsi yisgegohug eso ufag.


eng: He told them this parable:

eng: The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”

amn: Afa Farisi el i nihemo anwanag el i olug kakageaginim og, “Mangigim Sisasba ehengelimbi hihe fenigim afa faneba wan one.”


eng: Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.

amn: Afa moni wambug el i afa ahanaig ahanaig nihenai el i ambugog muhwa agfohiafnaba Sisasna mo higfafna.


eng: It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

amn: Afa enaig solba mas fanem esenaiba mas lahla fei. Eba hugunam amtakwaleagegba el isugum fatig. El angnaba so na ena mom higim.”


eng: So therefore, whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.

amn: Afa enaig feg so nengelnai aman heafna mungwali gawigim masgim fatiag hwainig fef eba mas kana pahlukuiag elbi gofi.”


eng: Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.

amn: Afa so ehe enaig onigigfef, og, mas yuhwafei eba mahim fagule wahigwa fifibi eso elim ningitigif og so ma mo fighunam sihibi soma fagna hagigim awaie.


eng: Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

eng: “If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.

amn: “Eba amanba ne kam pahluku obofiba so na kam hugna membena. Afa nimbiafna humuan, afahumuan, angwafig, luwal, nilite, mulwal afa nimbeafna nofkenagag so na ena mo sumi yi memben, Afa aman enaig eseg hwanigba eba enaig elbi mas kana pahlukuiag elbi fei.


eng: Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,

eng: For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper.’”

amn: Afa ka nem osihin, mungwali el so ka gofgam unenig eba mas kana fane wesig ahgai.’”

eng: “That servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.’

amn: Afa ming el og, ‘Kaba bulmakau baimeg enag ka yuwigim aka nasabam.’


eng: They all as one began to make excuses. “The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.’

amn: Afa mungwali el wahigi ehem enaig sihi fini og kam kusig, afa ming el og, ‘Kaba bite ka kigna baimeg wahiag enag ka nanguagim aka, nasabam.’

amn: Afa ehe sufu wahiagim eso heafna gafugag elim ningihiana afa so gafugag el ikagim enaig eso og, ‘Au ambugog mungwali fane ati kukumeig gohug.’


eng: When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will feast in God’s Kingdom!”

amn: Afa el mungo Sisas fane waneaufna enag ena mo higinam Sisasim enaig sihi fena og, “El so Godna bog megam saiyego buyis ne eba so ma sifakali.”

amn: Magofi, afa ne buyisba ofefiba eba so na gawig hwainig elim uneni, mong kukwaligni ninga wahigifenam afa nofug hwanigna.


eng: He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.

amn: Afa Sisas buyis awag elim enaig sihifena og, “Ne buyisba ofefiba nofe ka hihem, nilitem, hamagaum, afa gau ninganam enam mugom esen. Eso ehengel so nem mungwag buyis wa uninim gwenaig nem esinif.


eng: But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.

amn: Afa so buyis el bo nem fane negimba unenaf eba so ne ikanam masgim pega, ma ne enaig eseiba, eba so sonag el nem unenam enaig esonaf og hihe se bo ohuna gosug siawa pega. Ma nem enaig esenaiba eba el so na fane ahgafa ne ehengelni nofug wa unehlag nalig fafe.


eng: and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place.

eng: “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,

amn: Og, “Afa so el mungo nem angwafig fa buyis wa unetigif nofe ne ahu lahlag sime wa gosuf augu eba ateame ming elim gishu wahianag ehe nalig unehlana fegim afa gwesim nem gosunig.

amn: Afa kwakug el blonam Sisasim nanguna.


eng: Behold, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

eng: “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused!

amn: Is, so hig, enenam mingnag el so yawo sum ambugog eba ahu gosuf. Afa mingnag so gosug ahuia eba ambugonam sum agfohiefif.”


eng: There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God’s Kingdom, and yourselves being thrown outside.

amn: Afa eba nem enaig sihinif, ‘Ka mas nem anwana fenig mo ne ahnanai el, ne amtakwalig el gwesim ahu.’


eng: Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’

amn: Afa ne enaig esogof ‘Kaba ati big fane ahgafena afa ne olyi gohugim kam wagfunigeg.’


eng: When once the master of the house has risen up and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’

eng: He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Jerusalem.

amn: Sisas Jerusalem minagam ikafnaba elim taun wanai elim afa kimbig wanaim mo wagfufunugena.


eng: It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his own garden. It grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky live in its branches.”

amn: Eba wesig klug mastet lifug lofug afa mahim el aso wa kumohlagba eso fukoagim nalig feagegba afa eso twafig ambugogim enanai yi gag nimbagig.’

eng: The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!”

eng: He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.

eng: If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.’”

amn: Ma ateamba nengigim fug olefiba eba lahlag, afa awaiba fegba eba so higefefati.

amn: Afa gafugag el wahigi ehem sihina og, ‘Amunai luwal so magofi ma mungo yia wa gofiba kawo mogim bite tutohiagenam afa bulmakauni ata sukonage.’”


eng: He said to the vine dresser, ‘Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down! Why does it waste the soil?’

amn: Amo ena gaba awai, ka nem inim sihinig eba so na olug wahigifig hwainig fif eba nem amtakwalig gwenaig mungwali pugunif.”


eng: Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?

amn: Afa autunam Siloamna kimbig kwieg lala tufupei 18 yi gohug elim pigasko fenaba eso pigina so na enam onig amtakwalig so figbi, enaba ne og el so Jerusalem wa auguia enam filafig me?

eng: I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny.”

amn: Afa ka nem inim sihinig, eba ne kalabus lala gweyi gafiba eso ne kigna mungwali baimef.”


eng: For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.

amn: Afa el so nem ogna kotimena enaba so na mina wa ahkafiba so na sihiagaf. Masa nem fanam jasna ninga wa wahiaiba afa jas nem fanam plismanna ninga wa wahiaiba eso nem fanam kalabus lala fatif.

amn: Afa Sisas enaksag elim enaig sihifeni og, “Afa so na ofim osu pegam nangug mahim nugwagofeba ne enaig esogog bu fegim eso bufeg.


eng: They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
