eng: He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the multitude.

eng: Jesus came out, saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.

aoj: Owaꞌ anom amam biamibiam mandaꞌ belita malai aman anamba lagufi boꞌwagah sandahapimanai mofaꞌana maꞌi mofeꞌma Jisas.


eng: When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was at home.

aoj: Anif nimaguf fafeꞌma main, Jisas notanima nafeꞌ Kaperneam. Eaꞌ esis sameꞌ basefa anen a nafiꞌi nape ipat.


eng: But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places. People came to him from everywhere.

aoj: Owaꞌ owaꞌatin. Aman anamba naꞌipasam mafeꞌagon hiꞌalagon amam nematawa hiasi sogawa amamba ma anen nagataga boꞌona. Eaꞌ Jisas ina nafeꞌ nawis anambel wambel ma naep hiasii, owaꞌ.

eng: He strictly warned him and immediately sent him out,

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas deiꞌ etef nasapaꞌana naꞌipana mehip


eng: and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”

aoj: naꞌi, “Inaꞌ aꞌ nefeꞌ niꞌipa anin epen niꞌi aeꞌ andaꞌena boꞌwena, owaꞌi. Inaꞌ foꞌo nihimbaꞌma alop ineꞌipi ma aman anamba pris.

eng: Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I want to. Be made clean.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas nati anen uwahipina nando lagola nasagol anen naꞌi, “Aeꞌ aꞌi ahoꞌma inaꞌ negataga boꞌwena.”


eng: A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, “If you want to, you can make me clean.”

aoj: Owaꞌ anona aman aowas aunai nandaꞌ alop ananipi pagambuꞌwi, nafiꞌi felefeleꞌma Jisas nindiwa nembawa notawa naꞌipana dindinip naꞌi, “Iꞌi inaꞌ niꞌi ahoꞌ netopalope ma egataga boꞌowe.”

eng: He said to them, “Let’s go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because I came out for this reason.”

aoj: Jisas nagwamam naꞌipam naꞌi, “Ataꞌ diamaso, afaꞌ ataꞌ ofeꞌ analemb walemb daialemb hiagoma bagape felefeleꞌi. Aeꞌ ataꞌ iꞌipasa basef buꞌwafi esis. Maol inimba atin aeꞌ deiꞌ afiꞌi.”


eng: They found him and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”

aoj: Molaomana mafeꞌma matolona maꞌipana maꞌi, “Epes hiasi solaomena.”


eng: Simon and those who were with him searched for him.

aoj: Saimon naloma anom alipumi ananimi mosafel matimana owaꞌ, eaꞌ molaomana magiꞌmana mafeꞌ.


eng: Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.

aoj: Wafilu kuhimbita atota akot ataꞌ tail, Jisas nosafel nakwaha ipat atamba nagapoma. Anen atona nosafel nafeꞌ anamba wafigima eaꞌ nape nandaꞌ betena God.


eng: He healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons. He didn’t allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas nandaꞌ amam nematawa hiasi aowas naninani nandaꞌasi boꞌwes, natofamasa anom ambagof awami magapaisi eaꞌ sataga boꞌwes. Ambagof awami mogawa Jisas anen nogamana Godi. Naꞌamba nasopama malogof ambagof amambai afasopam beꞌ mape.


eng: All the city was gathered together at the door.

eng: At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were possessed by demons.

aoj: Aꞌi owaꞌ wambomota awin newala nasoꞌ, esis sofaꞌai isimba aowas nandaꞌasi saloma anis ambagof awami magapaisi safiꞌmai Jisas.


eng: He came and took her by the hand and raised her up. The fever left her immediately, and she served them.

aoj: Eaꞌ nafeꞌma akoꞌw nahapila lagol akwaꞌugili nasaꞌmaꞌw. Eaꞌ aowas inimba nakwahoꞌw nafeꞌ amboꞌokw, kwandaꞌmasas gwaꞌaisi esis.


eng: Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.

aoj: Eaꞌ esis saꞌipa Jisasa Saimon nandagiꞌmoꞌwi awasiꞌw kwaꞌoh, alop akwaꞌupi nifip.


eng: Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

eng: The report of him went out immediately everywhere into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.

aoj: Eaꞌ basef ifimba ma maol Jisas nandaꞌani fafeꞌagon hiꞌalagon walemb hiagoma bagape nomona itap apamba luꞌupa Galili.


eng: They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”

aoj: Eaꞌ amam nematawa hiasi gogolalasis sandakotoꞌma eaꞌ sandaꞌipama saꞌi, “Amamba main daꞌim? Ifimba anif basef dambaifi? Anen natofa ambagof awami naꞌipam siꞌi anona aman banagonai. Hiahaom amamba hiami maloma ambagof awami wapani mameꞌ basefana makwaha epes mafaꞌ mafeꞌ.”


eng: The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

aoj: Eaꞌ ambal anamba aunai nakotoꞌ anen kwapeteꞌ nandaꞌam goꞌala mehip nakwahona nawisi nafeꞌ.


eng: Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas ninifalom naꞌi, “Inaꞌ ambalip awinai, sopama malogol kwahowa aman anamba foꞌo.”


eng: saying, “Ha! What do we have to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”

aoj: “O Jisas inaꞌ Nasaretinai, inaꞌ nafiꞌi naꞌi nendaꞌ maina apaꞌ? Nafiꞌi ma negahambombagapa? Aeꞌ egawena inaꞌ aman buꞌunai hililiꞌi Godi.”


eng: Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,

aoj: Afamba anona aman nape nalomas ipat atamba, ambal aunai napaona eaꞌ kwafalis atin ambal anamba noga naꞌi mehip naꞌi,


eng: They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

eng: They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.

aoj: Jisas naloma alipumi ananimi Jemsi Jon, Saimoni Andru mafeꞌ Kaperneam mape. Nemaf afamba esis Juda sagapoma nomaꞌwafi sabat, Jisas naoꞌwam mafeꞌ mawis ipat Juda sandakolasatai eaꞌ naꞌipasa basef amam nematawa.


eng: Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.

aoj: Owaꞌ Jisas natolom nofalam kwafalis mameꞌana. Eaꞌ mohafel kwafalis makwaha ahamam naloma anom mandaꞌ maola anini mape bot, amom biam maila Jisas mafeꞌ.


eng: Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.

aoj: Eaꞌ mameꞌana makwaha anembeh haꞌoh, amom mailana aꞌ mafeꞌ.


eng: Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas natolom naꞌipam naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ pifiꞌi pihapila basef aeꞌafi pila aeꞌ. Fowaꞌ ipaꞌ pewafa agof, apaꞌ deiꞌ ihimbaꞌmepa pefeꞌ pigaꞌipa anis epes pefaꞌasi sogaila aeꞌ.”


eng: Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

aoj: Jisas naila akata nafeꞌ atin dumb luꞌwambi Galili, nati amam biam Saimon naloma owamana Andru. Amom mala anembeh mowafa agof mandaꞌ bisnis.


eng: and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News.”

aoj: naꞌi, “Nemaf afamba felefeleꞌ afetaga ma epes hiasi sogawis nomona maol Godi nope Dembinai nugumafias. Naꞌamba ipaꞌ deiꞌ pendewaꞌ alafugaha waf awafi pembema nelelemb pihapifa basef ifimba buꞌwafi.”


eng: Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of God’s Kingdom,

aoj: Afamba amom mandaꞌ Jon nandaꞌ kalabus, Jisas aꞌ nafeꞌ itap luꞌupa Galili nandaꞌ maol nawalapa basef buꞌwafi Godi naꞌipasef


eng: He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels were serving him.

eng: A voice came out of the sky, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

aoj: Eaꞌ anagol malogol gaꞌi gatagai heven gaꞌi anif basef gaꞌi, “Inaꞌ Nogame aeꞌinai. Aeꞌ okom mohafel maimailina aꞌowaꞌ. Eaꞌ okom aeꞌami boꞌoma inaꞌ.”


eng: Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.

aoj: Jisas nakwaha embel walemb nandagiai atin, owaꞌ nati heven nandawisiꞌ alihina, ma anen, nati Ambal buꞌunai Godi nafiꞌmai anen siꞌi amil alamba apaꞌ magaꞌi maꞌunai nufiaꞌ nisilaꞌmai anen.


eng: In those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

aoj: Afamba Jisas nakwaha Nasaret anep itap luꞌupa Galili aꞌ nafiꞌi. Jon napisiꞌana walemb Jordan.


eng: I baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.”

aoj: Aeꞌ ipisiꞌipa embel atembal, apaꞌ anen owaꞌ. Anen atiasi neseꞌepa Ambal buꞌunai Godi nogape opalef ipeꞌilifi nomon.”


eng: John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.

eng: All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.

aoj: Eaꞌ esis hiasi sagape anep itap luꞌupa Judiai saloma amam nematawa hiasi sagape Jerusalami safiꞌmai Jon saꞌi semeꞌ basef ananifi. Eaꞌ sawalapa waf awafi esis sandaꞌafi, Jon napisiꞌas walemb Jordan.


eng: John was clothed with camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.

aoj: Anen nala anom klos sandaꞌ auf anom mafis luꞌwami kameli sandaꞌam, eaꞌ nowahoꞌ let sandaꞌ agwahup mafisina sandaꞌanai, nagundisam. Gwaꞌaisi nagaꞌasi naꞌ gwamuꞌwis saloma aupimbel alupumi.

eng: teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

eng: Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

eng: Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas nafiꞌi felefeleꞌma amom naꞌipam naꞌi, “God aꞌ naseꞌepam eaꞌ banagami ilifami itapami.


eng: When they saw him, they bowed down to him; but some doubted.

aoj: Eaꞌ mati Jisas masaꞌma agol ananigili manifelona. Apaꞌ anom aꞌ nomonas bimbiafis sapaom.


eng: But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom alipumi 11-pelaim mafeꞌ Galili mataga halafuta atamba Jisas naliꞌ naꞌipam mogafeꞌma.


eng: So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until today.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom soldia mofaꞌ moni inimba mameꞌ basef amamifi aꞌ magiꞌmif. Eaꞌ basef ifimba ma hiahawes isimba eaꞌ fafeꞌagon hiꞌalagon walemb esis Judai, eaꞌ ataꞌ saꞌiif atin fafiꞌi fatagama deiꞌ saꞌif atapif.


eng: If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.”

aoj: Ama gavman dembinai nemeꞌ basefana, daoꞌ afaꞌ aꞌ ondaꞌ okom ananimi awanema ipaꞌ basef akepa.”


eng: saying, “Say that his disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.

aoj: maꞌipam maꞌi, “Ipaꞌ pigaꞌias naꞌamba piꞌi, ‘Owamb afaꞌ wagaꞌihi, amom alipumi ananimi mafiꞌi makwalopana mofaꞌana.’


eng: When they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,

aoj: Eaꞌ pris amamba maloma agufumi esis Judai maꞌi anif basef mandameꞌmaef eaꞌ masoꞌama anin moni hiani nafeꞌma soldia anamba


eng: Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.

aoj: Nematawa awamba biawa ataꞌ wafeꞌ atin, anom soldia mugumafi matmati aꞌ mafeꞌ mawis taun maꞌipa amom pris dembami ma hiahaom amamba magatagai.


eng: Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me.”

aoj: Owaꞌ Jisas naꞌipawa naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ ina aꞌ ombal mehepa, owaꞌi. Ipaꞌ bipa pefeꞌ piꞌipa amom owape aeꞌami mofoꞌo Galili. Bola motolowe ganimba.”


eng: As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.

aoj: Owaꞌ Jisas nati awo ufiaꞌw nandaꞌmawa gude naꞌi, “Nemaf buꞌwafi endilisi.” Eaꞌ awo wafeꞌ felefeleꞌma anen wahapila boꞌwagah ananigahi ma ondaꞌ lotuma anen.


eng: They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.

aoj: Eaꞌ awo ombal magahawai deiꞌ eaꞌ sonahawa wapani, kwafalis atis wakwaha matmat wasagih wafeꞌma ugaꞌipa amom alipumi ananimi.


eng: Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.”

aoj: Deiꞌ ipaꞌ foꞌo kwafalis piꞌipa alipumi ananimi piꞌi, ‘Anen nosafel wapani eaꞌ. Pemeꞌ. Anen aꞌ naliꞌipa nafeꞌ itap apamba Galili. Ipaꞌ foꞌo petolonago ganimba.’ Basef aeꞌafi eaꞌ ifimba.”


eng: He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.

aoj: Anen ina ataꞌ nape naꞌa, owaꞌ. Anen aꞌ notanima nosafel eaꞌ siꞌi fowaꞌ nagaꞌipipa! Ipaꞌ fiꞌi ma ataꞌ piti naꞌa nagaꞌoma. Deiꞌ aꞌ wafigin nape.


eng: The angel answered the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.

aoj: Owaꞌ ensel anamba naꞌipa awo biawa naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ bipa ina ombal mehepa, owaꞌi. Aeꞌ egawa ipaꞌ pafiꞌi paꞌi pelaoma Jisas, aman anamba esis sagandolana lawag usiꞌigai tiꞌwanaegai.


eng: For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.

aoj: Eaꞌ amam amamba soldia mugumafi matmati aꞌ ombal maham kwapeteꞌ aꞌowaꞌ ambombol atin maꞌoh itap siꞌi sagagaꞌi.


eng: His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

aoj: Amaga ananigai a gogalaꞌ aꞌowaꞌ siꞌi otaga peleꞌalama nogogalaꞌ luꞌwaguf maim ananimi afitim aꞌowaꞌ siꞌi ais mandati.


eng: Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

aoj: Nemaf afamba esis Juda sagapoma nomaꞌwafi sabat fafeꞌma hiꞌalaf, eaꞌ sande nemaf fagaliꞌma wiki, kuhumbita atota felefeleꞌma awin nigatafi, nematawa awamba biawa Maria Makdalaiꞌwi kwaloma anoꞌw agol atogol wafiꞌi ma ugati matmat.


eng: So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom mafeꞌ mowalowa matmat sisihita eaꞌ mandaꞌima uta masahoꞌmata mandaꞌ anin ametal banagani ma epes ina a suwalin suwis. Eaꞌ maꞌipa anom soldia mape mumafiagon.


eng: Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Pailat naꞌipam naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ peꞌwa anom soldia pefeꞌ pewalo uta matmat atamba sisihita, siꞌi ukup ipeꞌipi pagaꞌias dondoꞌma gawa ipeꞌini.”


eng: Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”

aoj: Isimba atis deiꞌ inaꞌ aꞌ niꞌipam mumafi matmat atamba andeandeꞌma nimaguf wanif ataꞌ ahiꞌilif. Naꞌamba amom alipumi ananimi aꞌ mifiꞌi mokwalopana aꞌ mofaꞌana mefeꞌ miꞌipa esis amam nematawa miꞌi, ‘Anen notanima nosafel matmat wapani.’ Eaꞌ basoꞌam anamba deiꞌinai aꞌ luꞌuna nikilaꞌ nagaliꞌi.”


eng: saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’

aoj: Eaꞌ maꞌipana maꞌi, “Dembinai, afaꞌ aꞌ ukup papoma anif basef aman anamba nagambasoꞌami nagaꞌiefi fowaꞌ anen ataꞌ nagape. Anen nagaꞌias naꞌamba naꞌi, ‘Nimaguf wanif aꞌ fefeꞌma hiꞌilif owaꞌ, aeꞌ aꞌ itanima esafel wapani.’


eng: Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

aoj: Ama aꞌi owaꞌ wafilu nemaf sagandomba hiahawes gwaꞌaisi maisafi afamba fafeꞌma eaꞌ, amom pris dembami maloma amom Farisi dembami mafeꞌ malagama Pailat.


eng: Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth

aoj: Josep nofaꞌap eaꞌ nandaꞌ lowaf namifi afitifi.


eng: This man went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.

aoj: Nafeꞌma Pailat nahaliꞌana ma nofaꞌi alop Jisasi nogawana. Eaꞌ Pailat naꞌipa amoma mogasoꞌana.


eng: Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

aoj: Anoꞌw Maria Makdalaiꞌwi. Anoꞌw agol atogol Maria, kogola Jemsi Josepi. Eaꞌ anoꞌw kogola amam biam Sebedi nogaopana.


eng: Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.

aoj: Nematawa hiawai wagagiꞌma Jisasi wakwaha itap apamba luꞌupa Galili wafiꞌi wagatopalopanai awo walutuwi laogon watologon.


eng: Now the centurion and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were done, were terrified, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

aoj: Kepten anamba dembinai nugumafi soldia hiamii naloma amom soldia mape mugumafi Jisasi mati hiahaom amamba. Nogota atamba mati hiahaom mataga itap bol atin nape, ombal maham aꞌowaꞌ maꞌi, “Endilisi atis, aman anamba Nogamana Godi.”


eng: and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

aoj: Esis sokwaha matmat afamba Jisas nogosafel wapani, sofeꞌ sogawis Jerusalem, wambel sandandepambela sondaꞌ maol Godima. Eaꞌ epes hiasi asatilis.


eng: The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

aoj: Eaꞌ anamba sagawa epes sagagaꞌima matmat mandawisiꞌ eaꞌ amam nematawa hiasi Godi fowaꞌ sagagaꞌi sosafel wapani.


eng: Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.

aoj: Owaꞌ anef lowaf luꞌwafi siꞌi utai fegetaol ipat Godi luꞌunai nomoni, palalaf gani ilif fewala itap fataga biafif. Eaꞌ itap bol atin nape otamba luꞌwami pepeꞌam.


eng: Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas nandaꞌas goꞌala mehip aꞌowaꞌ wapani eaꞌ ambal ananili aꞌ landahiꞌ lafeꞌana.


eng: The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”

aoj: Owaꞌ anis salutu saꞌi, “Ataꞌ otaꞌ kwahowana, ma ataꞌ muti atiasi Elaija nifiꞌi notagwahona, aꞌa owaꞌ?”


eng: Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.

aoj: Eaꞌ anona aman nasagih nafeꞌ kwafalis nofaꞌ anom mosong magape naohi nalam mowala embel wainimbel numbutimbeli nagiam nasapaꞌam anagol bagol nandowam mafeꞌma Jisas nogaꞌ embel.

aoj: Eaꞌ anis epes salutu felefeleꞌ sameꞌ anen naꞌias naꞌamba saꞌi, “Anen nofala anona profet Elaija.”


eng: About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

aoj: Felefeleꞌma awin nandambema 3 klok, Jisas noga naꞌi mehip naꞌi, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabaktani?” Apaꞌ mambemef maꞌias naꞌamba maꞌi, “God aeꞌinai, God aeꞌinai, deiꞌ maina inaꞌ nagakwahowe?”

eng: The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom amamba biam mandaꞌ wali sandolam magalumanai mandaꞌana findiwana siꞌi amom agufumi maliꞌ mandaꞌmanam.


eng: Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,

aoj: Eaꞌ amom pris dembami maloma amom dembami magawalipasa muꞌuli Godi maloma amom agufumi esis Judai wapani, hiami malomam mandaꞌana findiwana maꞌi,


eng: and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

aoj: saꞌi, “Awi, inaꞌ aman nigugulata ipat anamba Godi, ma netanima negasaꞌmana nimaguf wanifi, deiꞌ netopalopa inaꞌ. Iꞌi inaꞌ nogama Godiai, nendatagwah nisilaꞌi.”


eng: Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads

aoj: Eaꞌ anis amam nematawa safiꞌi kilikilaꞌ sagaili esis sandaꞌ salamala anen, sapapati balagah saꞌias naꞌamba


eng: Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.

aoj: Felefeleꞌma Jisas nagaima amom soldia mandola anom biam mandaꞌ waf awafii mandaꞌ wali. Amom mandola Jisas nail laꞌafen, eaꞌ mandola amom biam mail waꞌowaꞌol.


eng: and they sat and watched him there.

aoj: Amom tol mape anamba mumafiana.


eng: When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,

aoj: Amom mandolana lawag usiꞌigai tiꞌwanaegai eaꞌ, mandaꞌ satu ma luwaguf maim ananimi ma ami nigikilaꞌi mofaꞌef mondondamef atona atin.


eng: they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.

eng: When they came to a place called “Golgotha”, that is to say, “The place of a skull,”

aoj: Eaꞌ mafeꞌ mataga anagon agiligima Golgota. Apaꞌ deiꞌ mambemefagol maꞌi, Pipitagol Balagaigil.


eng: As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.

aoj: Amom mosafel mafeꞌ owaꞌ mati anona aman Saimon Sairiniinai. Eaꞌ amom soldia masasapaꞌana ma notopalopa Jisas nogofaꞌ lawag ananigai.


eng: When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

aoj: Mandaꞌana findiwana ma eaꞌ, mowalimana saket atamba, malamana klos mais ananisi a mofaꞌana mafeꞌma mogandolana lawag usiꞌigai tiꞌwanaegai.


eng: They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

aoj: Eaꞌ misiꞌwafana mandalombana alifita atamba mopagahona balaga ananigai.


eng: They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

aoj: Eaꞌ mowaloꞌmana anof mandof higatagufi, malaꞌwatefaf siꞌi hat mowaloꞌmanana balaga ananigai. Eaꞌ masoꞌana anota alifita nahapilata lagol ananigili. Amom mindiwa nembawa motawa felefeleꞌma anen, mandaꞌ salamal lahana maꞌi basef findiwaifi ma anen maꞌi, “Nemaf buꞌwafi, inaꞌ king dembinai esis Judai!”


eng: They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.

aoj: Eaꞌ mowalia luwaguf maim ananimi malamana anota saket akwahitai.


eng: Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom soldia mofaꞌ Jisas mawisi ipat amom gavmani luꞌutai. Eaꞌ mofala anom soldia hiami mafiꞌi munduwaꞌanima ma anen.


eng: Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

aoj: Eaꞌ Pailat nakwahowa Barabas nafeꞌma esis. Eaꞌ naꞌipa amom soldia ma mogopagaha Jisas mofaꞌana mefeꞌ mogandolana lawag usiꞌigai tiꞌwanaegai.


eng: All the people answered, “May his blood be on us and on our children!”

aoj: Eaꞌ amam nematawa hiasi sagwa basef saꞌi, “Eaꞌ kofagema amamba aꞌ mondafiꞌmai apaꞌ moloma awasi apeꞌisi.”


eng: So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Pailat aꞌ nogawa basef ananifi ina banagefa nogapaꞌagas, owaꞌ. Naꞌamba asondaꞌ wandaf luꞌwafi. Eaꞌ Pailat nolai anambel embel nasaꞌopa lagof ananigufi ma naep esis amam nematawai nindihimbaꞌ naꞌias naꞌi, “Aeꞌ kofagema owaꞌatina egaha aman anamba nogagaꞌ. Maol ipeꞌini atin,”


eng: But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”

aoj: Eaꞌ Pailat nahaliꞌas naꞌi, “Deiꞌ main? Anen nandaꞌ waf maif awafi?” Owaꞌ esis gigal saꞌoh saꞌi mehip saꞌi, “Dolana lawag hana afuna!”


eng: Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”

aoj: Eaꞌ Pailat nahaliꞌas naꞌi, “Deiꞌ ipaꞌ paꞌi aeꞌ endaꞌmana main aman anamba Jisas pagaꞌi Kraisi?” Esis hiasi nahaliꞌas saꞌi “Dolana nil lawag usiꞌigai tiꞌwanaegai!”


eng: Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.

aoj: Apaꞌ amom pris amamba dembami maloma anom agufumi esis Judai masaꞌma nomonas esis amam nematawai ma sohaliꞌ Pailata nogakwahowa Barabas, a soha Jisas nogagaꞌ.


eng: While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Pailat nape ipat atamba sandakolas sandaꞌ kota, eaꞌ wauluꞌmana ananiꞌwi kwasapaꞌ basef fafiꞌmai anen kwaꞌi, “Inaꞌ owaꞌi aꞌ nendaꞌ anin mae awanima aman anamba fasinaia, owaꞌi. Aeꞌ dokoꞌ aꞌoh owamb andondoꞌah atolona eaꞌ efaꞌ akafimi ma anen.”


eng: For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

aoj: Eaꞌ esis amam nematawa sunduwaꞌanima saitu. Pailat nogawa amam dambami esis Judai kowalama epes hiesi saila basef Jisasi ukup aom atom mapomana deiꞌ mandaꞌ kotimana. Amama atom deiꞌ nahaliꞌas naꞌi, “Ipeꞌ paꞌi aeꞌ ekwaha emi epen nekwaha kalabus nefeꞌmago ipeꞌ? Ekwaha Barabas o Jisas, esis saꞌi Krais Dembinai?”


eng: They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.

aoj: Nemaf afamba anona aman aunai nape nandaꞌ kalabus, agilinama Barabas. Aman anamba nandaꞌ waf awafi endilisi.


eng: Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.

aoj: Nogota atamba gavman anamba dembinai waf ananifi naꞌamba. Afagof danda ma nemaf afamba buꞌwafi esis sandaꞌ anis gwaꞌaisi luꞌwasiafi, anen a nakwahowa anin epen nandaꞌ kalabusi nafeꞌ wahifin. Epen mamahina esis amam nematawa hiasi sandandepani, dembinai gavman naꞌi ahoꞌ nakwahin nafeꞌma esis wahifin.


eng: He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

aoj: Owaꞌ Jisas ina nagwamana basef Pailat, owaꞌatin. Eaꞌ dembinai gavman gogolalasona kwapeteꞌ.


eng: Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”

aoj: Eaꞌ Pailat nahaliꞌana naꞌi, “Inaꞌ nameꞌ basef ifimba hiafi esis sandaꞌmena kotefi, aꞌa owaꞌ?”


eng: When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom pris amamba dembami maloma agufumi esis Judai masapagana ma basef hiafi, apaꞌ anen ina nagwamam anif basef, owaꞌ.


eng: Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “So you say.”

aoj: Amom mofaꞌ Jisas mafeꞌ nalutu nogohnaep dembinai gavman Pailati, eaꞌ Pailat nahaliꞌana naꞌi, “Inaꞌ king dembinai Judai aꞌa owaꞌ?” Eaꞌ Jisas nagwamana basef naꞌi, “Basef ifimba inaꞌ nagaꞌiefi endilisifi.”


eng: and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”

aoj: Eaꞌ moni inimba satala anep itapa anona aman nagalaꞌ malihi, siꞌi Dembinai nagaꞌipa aeꞌ dindinip.”


eng: Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,

aoj: Eaꞌ anif basef fowaꞌ gani God nigihimbaꞌmanaef anona aman profet Jeremaia nandaꞌafi ifimba deiꞌ aꞌ fataga alihif fandawalap. Basef ifimba fagaꞌias naꞌamba faꞌi, “Amom mofaꞌ otamba silva 30-pelaimba, esis Juda asandandepamba ma aman anambai.


eng: Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

aoj: Eaꞌ deiꞌ sofala agilipa saꞌi, “Itap esimbel bagatalipi.” Deiꞌ agol agalemba ma itap apamba ataꞌ gape atapigil.


eng: They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom maꞌi anif basef mandameꞌmaef, ama moni inimba mandaꞌan matala anep itapa anona aman nagalaꞌ malihi. Eaꞌ mofaꞌ itap apamba ma mondaꞌ matmata sogawa epes isimba lauginisi safiꞌi salomas sape sagagaꞌi.
