eng: The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.”

aoj: Amom pris amamba dembami mofaꞌ moni inimba maꞌi, “Moni inimba anin nagatala aman anamba afaꞌ wahana nogagaꞌi. Eaꞌ afaꞌ ina ombeꞌ moni inimba neloma moni nagaꞌoh ipat luꞌunai Godi, owaꞌi.”


eng: saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”

aoj: Eaꞌ naꞌi, “Aeꞌ andaꞌ waf awafi awalapa aman anamba buꞌunai, owaꞌ nondaꞌ waf awafia atiasi aꞌ nogaꞌ.” Owaꞌ amom maꞌi, “Amamba ina kofagema afaꞌimi, owaꞌ. Amamba eaꞌ kofagema ineꞌimi atom.”


eng: Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

aoj: Deiꞌ aman anamba Judas nagawalapa Jisasa amom boumi nati amom mandaꞌ basef mapaꞌaga Jisasa nogagaꞌ. Eaꞌ nati amom mapaꞌagana mandaꞌ hiahawes isimba, eaꞌ nofaꞌ nimanimi luꞌwami aꞌowaꞌ. Eaꞌ deiꞌ anen notanima nowambela moni silva inimba 30-pelain nafeꞌma amom pris amamba dembami maloma agufumi esis Judai.


eng: They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

aoj: Amom mowaꞌana mofaꞌana mafeꞌ masoꞌ gavman dembinai Pailat.


eng: Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.

aoj: Aꞌi owaꞌ lala kuhimbita amom pris hiami dembami maloma agufumi esis Judai maꞌi basef mandameꞌmaefa moha Jisas nogagaꞌ.


eng: Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” Then he went out and wept bitterly.

aoj: Eaꞌ Pita aꞌ okom mandandaꞌ ma basef nambatiꞌ Jisas naꞌipanaef, nagaꞌi, “Awata owaꞌ ataꞌ totaea, inaꞌ atiasi inaꞌ aꞌ nembasoꞌmas niꞌias wanif niꞌi, ‘Inaꞌ owaꞌ negawea.’” Eaꞌ Pita nawisi nafeꞌ andoꞌ nalef mehip aꞌowaꞌ.


eng: Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.

aoj: “Eaꞌ deiꞌ Pita nosafel naꞌi basef nagaꞌif banagafi naꞌi “Endilisi gani ilif, aeꞌ ina egawa aman anamba ipaꞌ deiꞌ pagaꞌinai, owaꞌ atin endilisi.” Anen naꞌias eaꞌ, owaꞌ, awata atata.


eng: After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”

aoj: Aꞌi owaꞌ main, owaꞌ anom amam malutu mafiꞌi maꞌipa Pita maꞌi, “Endilisi atis, inaꞌ aman miniꞌap amamipi. Diga ineꞌigai gawalapena alihina.”


eng: When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

aoj: Eaꞌ nafeꞌ nalutu indalelemb nomon felefeleꞌma uta, anoꞌw nemataꞌw kwatolona wapani kwaꞌipa esis amam nematawa sagape felefeleꞌi kwaꞌi, “Aman anamba anen nape nagaloma Jisas Nasaretinaii.”

aoj: Owaꞌ Pita nandahaliꞌ naꞌi owaꞌ ma naep isimba hiasii naꞌi, “Aeꞌ ina egawa basef ifimba inaꞌ nagaꞌiefi, owaꞌatin.”


eng: saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?”

aoj: inaꞌ aꞌ niꞌi basef siꞌi anona profet nagaꞌiefi newalapa ami nagahinai.”


eng: Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,

aoj: Eaꞌ amom misiꞌwafa amaga Jisasi mahana. Anom mopagamana aomb masopamana naep ananipi maꞌi, “Inaꞌ Krais God nasapaꞌena nagafiꞌii,


eng: What do you think?” They answered, “He is worthy of death!”

aoj: Ipaꞌ ukup pape paꞌimama?” Amom hiami magwamana maꞌi, “Anen nandaꞌ waf awafi eaꞌ andeandeꞌma aꞌ nogaꞌo.”


eng: Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.

aoj: Jisas naꞌias naꞌamba owaꞌ pris anamba aꞌ okom wandafuna eaꞌ nahapeꞌ klos amamba anen nagalami naꞌias naꞌi, “Anen aꞌ nandaꞌ dembinai God findiwana ma basef awafi!

eng: Jesus said to him, “You have said so. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ paꞌias eaꞌ maꞌwis. Apaꞌ aeꞌ aꞌipipa, anaf owagama ipaꞌ piti aeꞌ ataga epen egefaꞌ alop epesi, epe lagol kwahisigili Godi banagewe. Epe otaga ilif itanima ifiꞌi petolowe.”


eng: The high priest stood up and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”

aoj: Eaꞌ pris anamba dembinai nalutu nahaliꞌ Jisas naꞌamba naꞌi, “Inaꞌ negwa basef ifimba aꞌa owaꞌ? Deiꞌ maina amom magaꞌipina basef naꞌamba?”


eng: and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”

aoj: maꞌi, “Aman anamba naꞌi anif basef naꞌi, ‘Aeꞌ laꞌifiwai ma igugulata ipat luꞌunai Godi ma itanima egalaꞌana wapani nimaguf wanif dowaf.’”


eng: and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward

aoj: Eaꞌ epes hiasi sataga saꞌi basef basoꞌafi fafeꞌma anen. Apaꞌ esis ina satagama anif basef endilisifi kofagefa ma mohana nogagaꞌ, owaꞌ. Aꞌi owaꞌ main, anom amam biam mataga


eng: Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death,

aoj: Eaꞌ amom pris dembami maloma amom dembami Juda mugumafi koti, amom hiami maꞌi molaoma anis epesa sombasoꞌma Jisas sosapagana ma anif basefa mohana nogagaꞌ.


eng: Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

aoj: Amom amamba mogombaloꞌ Jisasi mofaꞌana mafeꞌ ipat anona pris dembinai nape nagaliꞌma pris hiamii Kaiafas. Eaꞌ amom dembami magawalipasa muꞌuli Godi maloma agufumi esis Judai mundowaꞌanima mape.


eng: But all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.

aoj: Apaꞌ deiꞌ hiahaom amamba ipaꞌ pandaꞌami mataga dondoꞌma basef ifimba fowaꞌ God naꞌipa amom profet mandaꞌef fagail buki aꞌ fataga endilisi.” Eaꞌ alipumi ananimi hiami makwahona mafaꞌ mafeꞌ hiꞌalam.


eng: In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas naꞌipa esis amam nematawa hiasi naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ pefaꞌi bainagwi belep pafiꞌi siꞌi pafiꞌi paꞌi pegewaꞌ anona aman aunai napaꞌ nagaloma gavmani aꞌa? Nimaguf hiafi aeꞌ ape alomepa ipat luꞌunai Godi awalapa basef buꞌwafi esis amam nematawa hiasi, apaꞌ ipaꞌ owaꞌ pembaleꞌea.


eng: How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”

aoj: Aeꞌ iꞌi endaꞌ waf afamba ai, atiasi basef ifimba fowaꞌ God naꞌif fagape buk Baibeli ina atiasi fetaga alihif dondoꞌma esis sifiꞌi sogombaleꞌe, owaꞌatin.”


eng: Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?

aoj: Inaꞌ negawa banagami Ahamai aꞌa owaꞌ? Iꞌi aeꞌ ihaliꞌana ai, anen nasoꞌai ensel ananimi hiami aꞌowaꞌ kwafalis atis, mikilaꞌ misiꞌah ahamba soldia 12-pelaih. Apaꞌ owaꞌ, owaꞌatin.


eng: Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.

aoj: Owaꞌ Jisas naꞌipana naꞌi, “Sapaꞌ bainat tofeꞌ tope tagapoma. Amom hiami mogapaꞌ bainagwi, atiasi bainagw goham mogaꞌ.


eng: Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

aoj: Eaꞌ anona aman nape nagaloma Jisasi, nala lagol nagiai bainat ananitai naha anona aman nandaꞌmana maola pris dembinai nape nagaliꞌma pris hiamii, eaꞌ natopaꞌ aliga ananigai peleꞌataga gowa.


eng: Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas naꞌipana naꞌi, “O alipunai, hiahawes inaꞌ nafiꞌi ma naꞌi nendaꞌasi, awi inaꞌ daꞌas kwafalis.” Eaꞌ amom mafiꞌi felefeleꞌma anen mowasaꞌ lagof mahapilana sisihina.


eng: Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.

aoj: Eaꞌ anen nafeꞌma Jisas kwafalis naꞌi, “Owamb buꞌwambi, Dembinai.” Eaꞌ nasisiꞌ dalogwana.


eng: Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.”

aoj: Eaꞌ aman anamba nogawalapa Jisasi, aꞌ naliꞌ naꞌipam nandaꞌ ametal nihimbaꞌmaman naꞌi, “Atiasi ipaꞌ piti aeꞌ igasisiꞌa dalogwanai, aman anamba eaꞌ maꞌuna Jisas. Ipaꞌ pihapilana pembaloꞌana tatalaꞌina.”


eng: While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

aoj: Jisas ataꞌ nalutu naꞌipam atin, owaꞌ anona aman nafiꞌi. Aman anamba Judas, anona amom 12-pelaim Jisasi. Anen nafiꞌi nalomai amam hiami mahapila bainagwi belep. Amom pris dembami malumai amom agufumi dembami esis Judai masapaꞌam mafiꞌi.


eng: Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”

aoj: Safel! Aꞌ ofeꞌ uti aman anamba nigihimbaꞌmama aeꞌi deiꞌ aꞌ nafiꞌi.”


eng: Then he came to his disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

aoj: Ama main, notanima nafiꞌmai amom magapoma naꞌipam naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ ataꞌ papoma nomaꞌw paꞌoh atin aꞌa? Pemeꞌ! Nogota aeꞌatai atataga. Deiꞌ nemaf afaꞌe anona aman aunai aꞌ nifiꞌi nulumai anom amam awami mufiꞌi mowa aeꞌ, ataga epen egefaꞌ alop epesi.


eng: He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.

aoj: Eaꞌ nakwahom notanima nafeꞌ nandabeten wapanima aꞌ wanif. Beten inimba atin dokoꞌ naliꞌ nandaꞌani, atin notanima nandaꞌan wapani.


eng: Again, a second time he went away and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.”

aoj: Eaꞌ anen notanima nafeꞌma bif nandabeten naꞌi, “Ahame aeꞌinai, iꞌi kap apamba owaꞌ anoꞌw ufiaꞌwa aeꞌ indihiꞌamapa, eaꞌ hapaimi, aeꞌ eaꞌ endefaꞌap. Ina nindaila okom ineꞌimi atom.”


eng: Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

aoj: Ipaꞌ solawaipa pepe pendabeten. Naꞌamba hiahaom mogogwambipai aꞌ motagama ipaꞌ. Endilisi ambagof ipeꞌigufi faꞌi awima pendabeten, apaꞌ alop owaꞌ banagepa, alaꞌuta tahepa.”


eng: He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour?

aoj: Nahaliꞌana eaꞌ, nosafel notanima nafeꞌma alipumi ananimi magapoma, owaꞌ nati amom aꞌ maꞌoh magaꞌ mafeꞌ. Eaꞌ nofala Pita naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ banagepa pepe pesasa aeꞌ aꞌa owaꞌ? Nogota aꞌipipa aꞌi pepe pegasasa aeꞌ ina laota, owaꞌ. Nogota bandata siꞌi aua atitin.


eng: He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”

aoj: Eaꞌ anen nandambema nafeꞌ kwasakwasala, aꞌ nowa nambeꞌ opaf notawa nandabeten naꞌi, “O ahame aeꞌinai, iꞌi inaꞌ nigaꞌi awima, daoꞌ nekwahome kap apamba. Apaꞌ owaꞌ, inaꞌ nindaila okom ineꞌimi atom, aeꞌ owaꞌ.”


eng: He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.

aoj: Eaꞌ anen naoꞌwa Pita naloma Sebedi nogaopana Jemsi Jon aꞌ mafeꞌ. Eaꞌ nameꞌ opaf ananifi aꞌ nimanif kwapeteꞌ endilisi.


eng: Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and pray.”

aoj: Jisas naoꞌwa alipumi ananimi mafeꞌ atin anagon Getsemani lawah oliv hogotawama. Eaꞌ naꞌipam naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ pepe naꞌa, aeꞌ efeꞌ gani waꞌol endabeten.”


eng: Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas nagwamana basef naꞌi, “Aeꞌ aꞌipina endilisi, atiasi owamb ambaꞌe awata ataꞌ owaꞌ totaea, inaꞌ aꞌ nendehaliꞌmi niꞌias wanif niꞌi, ‘Aeꞌ owaꞌ egawa Jisasa.’”


eng: But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Pita nagwa basef naꞌamba naꞌi, “Iꞌi anom owaꞌ mohapifina banagema ma miꞌi mokwahena, hapaimi, ihapifina banagewe ina atiasi ikwahina, owaꞌatin.”


eng: But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”

aoj: “Apaꞌ owaꞌ owaꞌatin, atiasi aeꞌ itanima asafel wapani aꞌ iliꞌipa efeꞌ itap luꞌupa Galili.”


eng: Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’

aoj: Jisas naꞌipam naꞌi, “Atiasi owamb ambaꞌe pindaiwaꞌma pagahapifi a pekwahowe. Deiꞌ main, fowaꞌ gani Baibel nagaꞌi naꞌamba naꞌi, God naꞌi, ‘Anaf owagama gani, aeꞌ eha aman anamba nugumafi sipsipi nogaꞌ. Eaꞌ sipsip amamba atiasi aꞌ mofaꞌ mefeꞌ atona biana.’


eng: When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

aoj: Amom mandaꞌ anof awaf eaꞌ, mawisi aꞌ mafeꞌ mondowasaꞌ halafuta Oliv.


eng: But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”

aoj: Aeꞌ aꞌipipa, ina ataꞌ itanima iaꞌ wainimbel wapani, owaꞌ. Aeꞌ efeꞌ etaga anamba ahame nagalaꞌambemagoma, daoꞌ aꞌ iaꞌ anin wain dambaini elomepa anamba.

eng: As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”

aoj: Jisas nalomam ataꞌ mape maꞌ gwaꞌaisi atin, ama main, nasaꞌma anota bret, nandabeten nanifela God, nawalota nasoꞌam naꞌipam naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ saꞌmata peaꞌata. Bret atamba alop aeꞌapi.”


eng: Judas, who betrayed him, answered, “It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You said it.”

aoj: Eaꞌ aman anamba Judas nogawalapa Jisasa bousii anen anagwa basefa Jisas naꞌi, “Dembinai Tisa, aeꞌ aꞌias aꞌa owaꞌatin?” Jisas nagwamana basef naꞌi, “Inaꞌ atina naꞌiam.”


eng: The Son of Man goes even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”

aoj: Ahoꞌ, aeꞌ ataga epen egefaꞌ alop epesi, atiasi anis epes sehe egagaꞌ siꞌi Buk Baibel nagaꞌiasa aeꞌ. Apaꞌ aman anamba nogawalapa aeꞌ ma boumii, anen uwahipina endilisi.

aoj: Owaꞌ anen nagwamama basef naꞌi, “Aman anamba deiꞌaol nalome wahapila bret wagalata disi, anen eaꞌ maꞌuna, anamba atiasi nogawalapa aeꞌi.


eng: They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It isn’t me, is it, Lord?”

aoj: Eaꞌ ukup amamipi nimanip aꞌowaꞌ, mosafel mahaliꞌana atona atin maꞌi, “Dembinai, aeꞌ aꞌa ami?”


eng: Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.

aoj: Aꞌi owaꞌ owamb anen nape naꞌ gwaꞌaisi tebol naloma alipumi ananimi 12-pelaim.


eng: The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom alipumi ananimi mandaꞌas naꞌamba atin siꞌi anen nagaꞌipam eaꞌ mandaꞌ gwaꞌaisi Pasovai dumbili dombol.


eng: He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.”’”

aoj: Eaꞌ naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ pefeꞌ taun, pefeꞌma anona aman piꞌipana piꞌi, ‘Dembinai Tisa naꞌi, “Nemaf dondoꞌafi God nandandepamiefi eaꞌ felefeleꞌ. Aeꞌ aꞌi eaꞌ Pasova inimba eloma alipumi aeꞌami ope ipat ineꞌitai.’”


eng: Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”

aoj: Nemaf afamba saliꞌ sagaꞌ anis gwaꞌaisi sagaꞌi Pasovai esis saꞌ bret atamba owaꞌ togatef luꞌutaia eaꞌ amom alipumi ananimi mafiꞌmai anen mahaliꞌana maꞌi, “Inaꞌ naꞌi afaꞌ ofeꞌ ondondomba ipat anima ma inaꞌ negaꞌ gwaꞌaisi isimba?”


eng: and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?” So they weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.

aoj: Eaꞌ nahaliꞌam naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ paꞌi peseꞌe main petalowe ma igihimbaꞌmepana?” Eaꞌ amom matalifa moni silva 30-pelain aꞌ masoꞌana.


eng: Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her.”

aoj: Endilisi aeꞌ aꞌipipa, ganimba itap walemb hiagoma anaf sigaꞌipasa basef buꞌwafi aeꞌafi, siꞌipasa basef akoꞌufi wapani ma ukup pegapoma waf buꞌwafi akoꞌw kwandaꞌmeafi.”


eng: For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.

aoj: Nemataꞌw akwamba kwakoloꞌwa sanda inimba ma alop aeꞌapi, kwandaꞌ isimba kwindilaꞌwaifa felefeleꞌma esis sogawe matmat.

aoj: Isimba kwahusa gwaꞌaisi maini sape salomepa nimaguf hiafi. Apaꞌ aeꞌ ina ataꞌ elomepa egape nimaguf hiafi, owaꞌatin.


eng: However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? She has done a good work for me.

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas nogawa ukup amamipi, naꞌipam naꞌi, “Deiꞌ maina ipaꞌ ukup awasip pagapoma nemataꞌw akwamba? Owaꞌi. Akoꞌw kwandaꞌ waf afamba fasifima aeꞌ.

eng: But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?

aoj: Amom alipumi ananimi mati naꞌamba, ukup amamipi awep aꞌowaꞌ. Eaꞌ maꞌi, “Deiꞌ maina akoꞌw kwagahambombaga sanda inimba nagafeꞌ dowaf?


eng: a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.

aoj: Nemaf afamba Jisas nafeꞌ Betani nape ipat anona aman Saimoni, fowaꞌ aowas aunai nandaꞌ alop ananipi pagambuꞌwi, apaꞌ deiꞌ amboꞌona.


eng: But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people.”

aoj: Owaꞌ amom mandaiwaꞌma mogombaloꞌana nemaf afamba sandaꞌ gwaꞌaisi isimba luꞌwasiafi. Naꞌamba epes hiasi ukup awep eaꞌ sohafel sondaꞌ wandaf.


eng: They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit and kill him.

aoj: Eaꞌ maꞌi basef mandameꞌmaefa mondaꞌ uhuf mefeꞌma mombaloꞌ Jisas mohana nogagaꞌ.


eng: “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”

aoj: “Ipaꞌ pegawa, nimaguf bif dowaf ataꞌ fapoma nemaf afamba ma sogaꞌ gwaꞌaisi luꞌwasi saꞌi Pasova afegataga. Atiasi nemaf afamba anona aman nowalapa aeꞌ ataga epen egefaꞌ alop epesi ma anom amam boumi mogandele lawag usiꞌigai tiꞌwanaegai mohe egagaꞌ.”


eng: When Jesus had finished all these words, he said to his disciples,

aoj: Jisas nawalipasa basef ifimba laufi ma hiꞌalef, ama nogota atamba anen naꞌipa alipumi ananimi naꞌi,


eng: These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

eng: “Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you didn’t do it to one of the least of these, you didn’t do it to me.’

aoj: “Eaꞌ aeꞌ aꞌ egwamasa basef esis iꞌi, Aeꞌ aꞌipipa endilisi, waf maif owaꞌ pendaꞌafa anin epen inimba falafuna agol akania, isimba eaꞌ naꞌamba atin ina pandaꞌmeaf aeꞌ wapani, owaꞌatin.

eng: and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,

aoj: Ama anen noha amom mandaꞌ maol atini neaꞌ gwaꞌaisi embel noloma amam amamba mandaꞌ spaki.


eng: But if that evil servant should say in his heart, ‘My lord is delaying his coming,’

eng: “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?

eng: Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.

aoj: Ipaꞌ himbaꞌme anin moni takisini ma ataꞌ itilin.” Eaꞌ mofaꞌmanai anin moni ma natilin

eng: Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding feast!”’

aoj: “Eaꞌ anen nasapaꞌ anom wapani mandaꞌ maola anini motambel mafeꞌ, eaꞌ naꞌipam naꞌi, ‘Ipaꞌ foꞌmago epes isimba aeꞌ eaꞌ andandepas sagapani eaꞌ piꞌipas naꞌamba piꞌi, “Pemeꞌ, aeꞌ andandomba gwaꞌaimi aeꞌami eaꞌ.

eng: Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas nandaꞌ anif basef waminif atin wapani naꞌi,


eng: When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.

aoj: Eaꞌ maꞌi mombaloꞌana owaꞌ ombal bahama esis amam nematawa. Esis hiasi sogawana saꞌi Jisas anona profet.

eng: He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”

aoj: [Eaꞌ epes mamahisa kwahogalas sogowa otam anambai, atiasi esis pepeꞌetas. Apaꞌ iꞌi otam anamba nowa nogosaliꞌas, aꞌ loloweas siꞌi sopof atof.]”


eng: “Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation producing its fruit.

aoj: “Eaꞌ aeꞌ deiꞌ aꞌipipa. God atiasi aꞌ nelefata basefa waf buꞌwafi anamba anen nagalaꞌambemagoma ma ipaꞌ, a nosoꞌasam anis epes atiasi sombaleꞌef sondaꞌ waf buꞌwafi.


eng: Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes’?

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas naꞌipas naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ patalifa basef Godi pagawef eaꞌ. Basef Baibeli fagaꞌi naꞌamba faꞌi, ‘Otam amamba magalaꞌ ifagwi mogelefatami deiꞌ mataga mape otam banagami mape magaliꞌi mogombaloꞌ ipati. Dembinai God nandaꞌ amamba mataga, apaꞌ matolom fasifasim aꞌowaꞌ.’


eng: They told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers who will give him the fruit in its season.”

aoj: Eaꞌ amom magwamana maꞌipana maꞌi, “Namanani anen nondaꞌmam waf awafi endilisi ma amam amamba awasimi noham mogaꞌ. Eaꞌ nosoꞌasa aof afamba fefeꞌma anis epes daias sumafiaf, ama nogota gwaꞌaisi sogail owaꞌ esis a sosoꞌana anis gwaꞌaisi anen.”


eng: When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”

aoj: “Nemaf afamba aman kofagonama aof afambai nogafiꞌi nondaꞌ maina amom?”


eng: So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him.

aoj: Eaꞌ mombaloꞌana mofaꞌana mawisi aof andoꞌefa mahana afuna.


eng: But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and seize his inheritance.’

aoj: “Owaꞌ owaꞌatin, amom mati nogamana ananinai nafiꞌi, mandaꞌipama atin maꞌi, ‘Aman nanumba owagama nogofaꞌ hiahaom hiami ahamanai. Awi, aꞌ ohana ma afuna ma afaꞌ atofa ogofaꞌ aof afaꞌe.’

eng: “Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.

aoj: “Ipaꞌ pemeꞌ anif basef waminif atini. Anona aman dembinai nandaꞌ anof aof nagawa waina nahefagomaf.

eng: Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.

aoj: “Eaꞌ deiꞌ nogaopana amamba biam ananimi mamahonama nagiꞌma basef ahamanai?” “Amom maꞌi, “Nagaliꞌi.” Eaꞌ Jisas naꞌipam naꞌi, “Aeꞌ aꞌipipa endilisi, amam amamba mogofaꞌ takisi mandaꞌ waf awafii maloma nematawa wandaꞌ waf awafi wandaꞌ soꞌa wauli esis eaꞌ sefeꞌ suwis nomona maol Godi nope Dembinai nugumafias siliꞌa ipaꞌ.

eng: But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’

eng: They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

aoj: Eaꞌ magwamana basef Jisas maꞌi, “Afaꞌ owaꞌ ogawama.” Jisas naꞌipam naꞌi, “Eaꞌ naꞌamba atin aeꞌ ina iꞌipipa ma ami naseꞌe banagami naꞌipi andaꞌ maol inimba aeꞌani, owaꞌ.”

eng: The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

aoj: Aman anamba Jon nagapisiꞌas embeli, ami naꞌipana ma nandaꞌ maol inimba? God nagape heveni naꞌipana nandaꞌan aꞌa anin epen itapani naꞌipana?” Eaꞌ mameꞌ basef ifimba mandaꞌipama maꞌi, “Afaꞌ iꞌi ugaꞌi, ‘God nagape heveni nagaꞌipana,’ atiasi anen aꞌ niꞌi, ‘Deiꞌ maina ipaꞌ owaꞌ pagahapifanaea?’

aoj: Iꞌi ipaꞌ pihapilif endilisi ma pendabetena, hiahawes isimba ipaꞌ pandabetena paꞌi pegefaꞌasi atiasi ipaꞌ aꞌ pefaꞌas.”


eng: Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas nagwamama basef amom naꞌipam naꞌi, “Aeꞌ aꞌipipa endilisi. Iꞌi ipaꞌ pihapifi endilisi, ma ipaꞌ ina bimbiafip pipaipa, daoꞌ atiasi eaꞌ pendaꞌas siꞌi aeꞌ andaꞌasa lawag agamba fik.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom alipumi ananimi mati lawag agamba aliga, gogolalasom kwapeteꞌ. Eaꞌ maꞌi, “Deiꞌ maina lawag agamba fik bowaga eaꞌ aliga kwafalis atis?”


eng: Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away.

aoj: Eaꞌ nati anoga lawag fik gotawa ufiaꞌw eaꞌ nafeꞌ natologa. Apaꞌ ina nati anip saꞌutip pailaga, owaꞌatin. Apul atom. Eaꞌ naꞌipaga naꞌi, “Inaꞌ ina ataꞌ anip saꞌutip pilina wapani. Eaꞌ owaꞌatin endilisi.” Eaꞌ kwafalis atis lawag agamba bowaga eaꞌ aliga hiꞌalaga.


eng: Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.

aoj: Ama wafilu kuhimbita atota Jisas nosafel notanima nafeꞌ taun inimba, eaꞌ nolomahana.


eng: He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there.

aoj: Eaꞌ anen nakwaha taun inimba, nawisi andoꞌ nafeꞌ nape anembel wambel Betani owamb ambamba.


eng: and said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of children and nursing babies, you have perfected praise?’”

aoj: Eaꞌ mahaliꞌana maꞌi, “Inaꞌ aꞌ negawa basef kofagefa?” Jisas naꞌipam naꞌi, “Ahoꞌ, aeꞌ egawef.” Eaꞌ naꞌipam naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ pitalif eaꞌ basef ifimba fagail Baibeli pagawef.

eng: But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were indignant,

aoj: Owaꞌ amom pris dembami maloma anom dembami magawalipasa muꞌuli Godi mati anen nandaꞌ maol banagani fasini, eaꞌ mameꞌ esis awasi sondagalama anen gani ipat luꞌunai nomon saꞌi, “Apaꞌ maꞌi God aꞌ nondatopalopa Dembinai apeꞌinai akunamana Deviti!” Eaꞌ amom deiꞌ ukup awep kwapeteꞌa anen.

aoj: Eaꞌ naꞌipas naꞌi, “Basef fagape Baibeli God naꞌi, ‘Ipat aeꞌanai nondapoma epes hiasi sifiꞌi sopaona sondabeten sogahaliꞌ aeꞌ. Apaꞌ owaꞌ, pandaꞌana nataga siꞌi sandambahoꞌ sandaꞌ wala.”


eng: Jesus entered into the temple of God and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.

aoj: “Eaꞌ anen nape ma awin nandagiai nape siꞌi 9 klok, anen a nafeꞌ owaꞌ nati anom amam ataꞌ tol malutu dowaf anamba mondowaꞌanima magapoma.


eng: “For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

aoj: “Ahoꞌ, epes sogawis nomona maol Godi nope Dembinai nugumafias siꞌi anona aman nagagoma itap luꞌwapi ananipi. Aꞌi owaꞌ ma lala kuhimbita atota owaꞌa, anen nafeꞌma nugufaꞌi anom amam mondaꞌ maol aof afamba ananifi nagawa saꞌutip mandelef wainilifip.

eng: Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

eng: For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”

aoj: “Deiꞌ main, amam naꞌambaimi mape amom owaꞌ laꞌifima mogasoꞌ nematawaia. Anom mamamam amamuwai olam eaꞌ atapim mape naꞌamba. Eaꞌ anom, amam matopaꞌmam alop amamipi.
