eng: The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.

aoj: Eaꞌ ensel nagwamana basef naꞌi, “Aeꞌ Gebriel, agalutu naep Godi. Anen atona nasapaꞌe afiꞌi aꞌipina basef ifimba fasifi.


eng: Zacharias said to the angel, “How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Sekaraia nahaliꞌ ensel anamba naꞌi, “Aeꞌ atiasi iti ametal maila egegawa basef ifimba fegataga endilisi? Aeꞌ hagewe eaꞌ wauluꞌmi wapani eaꞌ hageꞌw.”


eng: He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare a people prepared for the Lord.”

aoj: Anin aꞌ niliꞌ nefeꞌma Dembinai nefaꞌ banagami Godi ma nendaꞌ maol ananini siꞌi fowaꞌ Elaija nofaꞌama nandaꞌan. Eaꞌ nembema nelelemb ahapasi befeꞌma awasi ma esis nomonas sondaima atin.

eng: He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.

aoj: Anaf anin netaga damben negambema amam nematawa hiasi Israeli ma nefaꞌas sotanimai sogafeꞌma God Dembinai asasinai.


eng: For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, anin anaf netaga dambeni agol luꞌwagili ma naep Dembinaii. Anin ina neaꞌ embel wainimbel beloma embel banagami, owaꞌatin. Anin ataꞌ nagape opaf maꞌmanai, Ambal buꞌunai Godi napain siꞌin nowaꞌ banagan.


eng: But the angel said to him, “Don’t be afraid, Zacharias, because your request has been heard. Your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

aoj: Owaꞌ ensel anamba naꞌipana naꞌamba naꞌi, “Sekaraia, ina ombel mehena, owaꞌi. God nameꞌenama beten ineꞌini eaꞌ. Wauluꞌmina ineꞌikwi Elisabet namanani akola anin awani aman ineꞌini. Eaꞌ inaꞌ nefalana agol ananigili Jon.


eng: Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.

aoj: Eaꞌ Sekaraia natolona agogolalasana ombel mahana nomonas salasafeꞌma ensel anamba.


eng: An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

aoj: Eaꞌ Sekaraia nati anona ensel dembinai Godi nataga nalutu belita waꞌol lagol kwahisigilima. Belita atamba amom pris mondolalima Goda hiahaom amamba alogw fasigwi gwagaꞌami.


eng: The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.

aoj: Nogota atamba anen nawis nagaofam, esis amam nematawa hiasi sunduwaꞌanima sape sandabeten andoꞌ.


eng: Now while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his division

aoj: Nogota anama amam hiami wambota Sakaraiai nemaf amamunai nataga ma meandaꞌ maol Godi, eaꞌ Sekaraia nawis ipat luꞌunai Godi nandaꞌ maol nondolalima God.


eng: according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.

aoj: Amom pris maila waf amamifi mandandepana ma nogawis ipat anamba nomon nogaofa hiahaom amamba nogoh alogw fasigwi gwagami.


aoj: Amam maila waf amamunai mandandepana ma niowis ipat anama nomon nofaꞌ amamaga amama nogoh alogw buꞌwami maꞌami.


eng: But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.

aoj: Apaꞌ Elisabet asaꞌw eaꞌ esis bias awasi akas, ahages eaꞌ.


eng: that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.

aoj: Andaꞌefa inaꞌ negegawa basef ifimba kofagefa esis sagawalipinafi endilisifi atif.


eng: Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,

aoj: O dembinai Tiofilus, fowaꞌ amam hiami mandaꞌ basef hiafi faila hiahaom hiami God nandaꞌam magataga laꞌafena afaꞌi, amom ukup patapeamb mandaꞌef fagaili.


eng: even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,

aoj: Fowaꞌ dambadamba Jisas nafela opeh nandaꞌam eaꞌ amam dambadamba maliꞌ mati amamaga amama naep amamumi deiꞌ mawalipafa basef amama eaꞌ afaꞌ wandaꞌam mail buk.


eng: it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus;

aoj: Aeꞌ ahaliꞌ anisa maol inimba, afiꞌi afiꞌi deiꞌ andaꞌef andeandeꞌ siꞌi fowaꞌ fagataga. Anom daiam mihimbaꞌmef deiꞌ aeꞌ egawa basef kofagefa. Isimba atis deiꞌ aeꞌ ilagon andeandeꞌma endaꞌ anif basef fegafeꞌmago inaꞌ dembinai Tiofilus.


eng: They went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.

eng: So then the Lord, after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.

aoj: Dembinai Jisas nawalipas naꞌipas eaꞌ, God nofaꞌana nalota heven. Eaꞌ nofaꞌ agol luꞌwagili nape lagol kwahisigili Godi banagagili.


eng: they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will in no way hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

aoj: Eaꞌ sohapila uguf fagahasi lagof asasimi apaꞌ ina aꞌ fohas sogaꞌ, owaꞌ. Eaꞌ sogaꞌ embel numbutimbeli wapani, esis ina aꞌ sogaꞌ, owaꞌ. Apaꞌ anis owaꞌ sogahapifaea, sogaꞌ embel ambalimbai, aꞌ sogaꞌ. Eaꞌ atiasi esis isimba sogahapifai sosa lagofa anis aowas nandaꞌasi amboꞌwes wapani.”


eng: These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;

aoj: God atiasi nondaꞌ esis isimba sogahapilafi banagesa sondaꞌ anom hiahaom banagami siꞌi anen nandaꞌami. Eaꞌ sohaliꞌ aeꞌ ma esis banagesa sigaliꞌamona ambagof awami magapaisi, a siꞌi anona diga hianai dambainai.


eng: He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to the whole creation.

aoj: Eaꞌ naꞌipam naꞌamba naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ pefeꞌ walemb hiagoma piꞌipasa basef buꞌwafi Godi ma amam nematawa hiasi hiꞌilas.


eng: Afterward he was revealed to the eleven themselves as they sat at the table; and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they didn’t believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

aoj: Aꞌi owaꞌ main, alipumi 11-pelaim Jisasi mape maꞌ gwaꞌaisi atin, Jisas nafeꞌ natagamam. Nimbewaꞌ anis satolona notanima nogosafel wapani eaꞌ saꞌipamana, apaꞌ owaꞌ. Amom ina mahapifas maꞌi saꞌi endilisi, owaꞌ. Maꞌi owaꞌ sambasoꞌmam atin. Eaꞌ Jisas nandaꞌ megahaham.


eng: They went away and told it to the rest. They didn’t believe them, either.

aoj: Amom biam matolona motanima mafeꞌ mawalapa basef ifimba ma alipumi duꞌwanim magapanii, apaꞌ amom ina mahapifam, owaꞌatin.


eng: After these things he was revealed in another form to two of them as they walked, on their way into the country.

aoj: Aꞌi owaꞌ main, anom alipumi Jisasi biam makwaha wambel luꞌwagoma maila ufiaꞌw kwagafeꞌ alupi mafeꞌ. Eaꞌ Jisas nandati naꞌa nafeꞌ natagamam.


eng: She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

aoj: Akoꞌw kwafeꞌ anagon alipumi Jisasi magapoma. Nomonas amamisi nimanis aꞌowaꞌ, mape malef.


eng: When they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they disbelieved.

aoj: Eaꞌ kwaꞌipam kwaꞌi, “Aeꞌ ati Jisas aꞌ notanima nosafel wapani nape namona.” Amom mameꞌ basef ifimba akoꞌufi, apaꞌ ina mahapifaꞌw, owaꞌ.


eng: Now when he had risen early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.

aoj: [Jisas notanima nosafel Sande kuhimbita atona, eaꞌ naliꞌ natagama Maria Makdalaiꞌwi, fowaꞌ nagatofamaꞌwa ambagof awami 7-pelaim magapauꞌwi.


eng: They went out, and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had come on them. They said nothing to anyone; for they were afraid.

aoj: Eaꞌ wakwaha matmat wawisi andoꞌ aꞌ wafaꞌ wafeꞌ. Awo ombel mahawa wandaꞌam bombol atin. Eaꞌ awo ina waꞌipasa basefa anis epes, owaꞌatin.


eng: But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.’”

aoj: Eaꞌ ipaꞌ foꞌo piꞌipa alipumi ananimi eaꞌ piꞌipa Pita nalomam naꞌamba piꞌi, ‘Jisas aꞌ naliꞌipa nafeꞌ itap apamba Galili. Ipaꞌ pefoꞌo petolona siꞌi nimbewaꞌ nagaꞌipipa.’”


eng: He said to them, “Don’t be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him!

aoj: Eaꞌ anen naꞌipawa naꞌamba naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ ina aꞌ ombel mehepa, owaꞌi. Aeꞌ egawepa ipaꞌ paꞌi pifiꞌi pelaoma Jisas Nasaretinai, esis sandolana nagaꞌ lawag usiꞌigai tiꞌwanaegai. Anen aꞌ notanima nosafel eaꞌ, ina ataꞌ nape naꞌa, owaꞌ. Ipaꞌ piti naꞌa sofaꞌana sawisi salana nagalama. Deiꞌ aꞌ wafigin nape.


eng: Entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were amazed.

aoj: Awo wawis matmat nomon, wati anona aman saꞌunai tol nape uta waꞌol lagol kwahisigilima. Nala anona lowaf launai afitinai. Naꞌamba awo gogolalasowa kwapeteꞌ ombel mahawa.


eng: They were saying among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?”

aoj: Awau ataꞌ wafeꞌ etin eaf, wandaꞌipama naꞌama waꞌi, “Atuwasi emi nigiambamafa nelefata owap anama nowalo utai?”


eng: for it was very big. Looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back.

aoj: Eaꞌ watologon owaꞌ, wati otam amamba luꞌunai ina ataꞌ mape mowalo uta, owaꞌ. Anin epen aꞌ nafeꞌ nawisiꞌam mafeꞌ maꞌoh waꞌol.


eng: Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

aoj: Wafilu nemaf Sande, kuhimbita atota awo ofaꞌ wel alamba wafeꞌ matmat.


eng: When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.

aoj: Nemaf afamba sagapoma nomaꞌwafi afafeꞌ hiꞌalaf, Maria Makdalaiꞌwi kwaloma Maria maꞌma Jemsi waloma Salome watala anom wel alogw fasifasimi magaꞌami. Awo waꞌi ofaꞌam ofeꞌ ondisa alop Jisasi.


eng: Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.

aoj: Anowa nematawa biawa Maria Makdalaiꞌwi kwaloma Maria maꞌma Josesi, awo walutu watologon wati anamba Josep nagawa Jisasa.


eng: He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

aoj: Fowaꞌ anis sandaꞌ anota matmat sagwasa otam luꞌunai nagal nawis nomon. Eaꞌ deiꞌ Josep naꞌi nowa Jisas matmat atamba.

eng: When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

aoj: Eaꞌ wambomota felefeleꞌma owamb, Josep Arimateainai nafiꞌi.


eng: Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for God’s Kingdom, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.

aoj: Anan dembinai ma kot esis Judai, agel luꞌunai. Nape nohafa nemaf buꞌunai notaga ma hiesi siowis wambota Godi numafias. Deiꞌ sandandomba amamaga gwaꞌaimi maima naman nemaf anama Sabat notaga.

eng: There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

aoj: Eaꞌ anowa nematawa waituwi laogon watologini awama. Anoꞌw Maria Makdalaiꞌwi kwaloma anoꞌw agel atona Maria mamaꞌwana Josep naloma Jems saꞌunai kwaloma anoꞌw Salomi.


eng: who, when he was in Galilee, followed him and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

aoj: Fowaꞌ Jisas ataꞌ nagape Galili, awo wagawagaila anini ma wagatopalopana ma anis hiahawea gwaꞌaisi mais. Anowa hiawai wapani walomana ondondowasaꞌ Jerusalem.


eng: The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.

aoj: Eaꞌ deiꞌ anona lowaf luꞌunai siꞌi utai negetaol ipat Godi luꞌunai nomoni palalana gani ilif nowala itap nataga biafina.


eng: Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas galala mehip eaꞌ nagaꞌ dogw.


eng: One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to take him down.”

aoj: Eaꞌ anona aman nasagih nafeꞌ nofaꞌ anom mosong magape naohi nalam mowala embel wainimbel numbutimbeli nagiam nasapaꞌam anagol bagol nandowam mafeꞌma Jisas nogaꞌ embel. Eaꞌ aman anamba naꞌipas naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ ataꞌ otaꞌ atiasi muti Elaija nifiꞌi notagwahona nisilaꞌi aꞌa owaꞌ?”


eng: Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him.” Those who were crucified with him also insulted him.

aoj: Iꞌi aman anamba Krais Dembinai esis Israeli, anen nokwaha lawag nisilaꞌi ma motolona mogahapifana.” Amom biam sandolam magaloma Jisasi wapani mandaꞌana findiwana ma basef awafi.


eng: Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, “He saved others. He can’t save himself.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom pris dembami maloma amom dembami magawalipasa muꞌuli Godi hiami malomam malutu mandaꞌana findiwana maꞌi, “Anen nandatopalopa anis daindaias, apaꞌ deiꞌ ina natopalopa anen, owaꞌatin.


eng: save yourself, and come down from the cross!”

aoj: deiꞌ netopalopa inaꞌ nendatagwah nisilaꞌi.”


eng: Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.

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


eng: It was the third hour when they crucified him.

aoj: Kuhimbita aon ataꞌ natefi naili 9 klok, soldia mofaꞌ Jisas mafeꞌ maundana lawag anama.


eng: The superscription of his accusation was written over him: “THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

aoj: Amom mofaꞌ anin pepa basef ifimba dokoꞌ amom Juda magasapaga Jisasafi Pailat nandaꞌef fagaili faꞌi, “Anamba dembinai king esis Judai.” Amom mandaꞌ basef ifimba fail balaga Jisasi lawag ilif.

eng: They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn’t take it.

aoj: Eaꞌ masoꞌana anambel embel wain mambemam magaloma anona marasin agilina meri ma neaꞌ embel begahagofa akep luꞌwami. Owaꞌ anen ina naꞌi ahoꞌ naꞌam, owaꞌ. Nandaiwaꞌmam.


eng: They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, “The place of a skull.”

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


eng: They compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them that he might bear his cross.

aoj: Amom soldia mofaꞌ Jisas mafeꞌ ataꞌ malo ufiaꞌw laꞌafen, owaꞌ matagama anona aman Saimon, nape wambel ananimbili itap luꞌupa Sairini nafiꞌi. Nogaopana ananimi biam Aleksanderi Rufus.

eng: When they had mocked him, they took the purple cloak off him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.

aoj: Mandaꞌana findiwana ma eaꞌ, mowalimana saket atamba akwahitai, malamana lowaf ananifi mofaꞌana mafeꞌma mogandolana lawag usiꞌigai tiꞌwanaegai.


eng: They struck his head with a reed and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom mahana anota alifita balaga ananigai, misisiꞌwafana mindiwa nembawa motawa masaꞌma agol ananigili dowaf.


eng: They began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

aoj: Eaꞌ malutu mandaꞌana findiwana maꞌi, “Nemaf buꞌwafi, inaꞌ king dembinai esis Judai.”


eng: They clothed him with purple; and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.

aoj: malamana saket akwahitai. Eaꞌ mofaꞌi anona mandof higatagunai manogana malaꞌwatefana siꞌi hat mowaloꞌmanana balaga ananigai.


eng: Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.

aoj: Eaꞌ Pailat naꞌi nila nomonas asasisi. Eaꞌ nakwahowa Barabas nafeꞌma esis naꞌipa amom soldia ma mogopagaha Jisas mofaꞌana mefeꞌma mogandolana lawag usiꞌigai tiꞌwanaegai.


eng: Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, “Crucify him!”

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


eng: They cried out again, “Crucify him!”

aoj: Eaꞌ esis gigal saꞌoh mehip saꞌi, “Dolana lawag hana nogaꞌ.”


eng: Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”

aoj: Eaꞌ nagwamasa basef naꞌi, “Deiꞌ aeꞌ ekwaha king dembinai ipeꞌ Judai nefeꞌmago ipeꞌ, o emi?”


eng: For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, Pailat anan nogawa amam pris dambami kowalama epes hiesi saila basef Jisasi ukup aom atom mapomana deiꞌ mandaꞌ kotimana.


eng: But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom masaꞌma nomonas amam nematawa hiasi ma sogahaliꞌ Pailata nogakwaha Barabas atona nogafiꞌmai esis.


aoj: Eaꞌ amam mafela ukup ma esis amam nematawa hiesi ma sohaliꞌ Pailata nokwaha Barabas atona nufiꞌmai esis.


eng: There was one called Barabbas, bound with his fellow insurgents, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.

aoj: Aꞌi owaꞌ nogota atamba anona aman nagape kalabusi agilinama Barabas. Anen nandaꞌ kalabus naloma anom amam mapaꞌ magaloma gavmani maha anis sagagaꞌi.


eng: The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.

aoj: Eaꞌ esis hiasi safiꞌi salutu sofala Pailat saꞌipana saꞌi, “Inaꞌ nekwahowa anona aman nagape kalabusi nifiꞌmai apaꞌ wahifina siꞌi afagof danda nandaꞌam.”


eng: Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whomever they asked of him.

aoj: Nemaf afamba esis Juda sandaꞌ anis gwaꞌaisi luꞌwasi sagaꞌi Pasovai. Afagof danda ma nemaf afamba dandaꞌafi Pailat nandaꞌas naꞌamba. Anen nakwahowa anona nagape kalabusi nafeꞌ wahifina. Aman ami esis amam nematawa sagaꞌianai, Pailat nameꞌasa nakwahona nafeꞌmas.


eng: But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.

aoj: Owaꞌ Jisas ina nagwa anif basef wapani, owaꞌ. Naꞌamba Pailat nomonas salasafeꞌ hiahias.


eng: Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!”

aoj: Naꞌamba Pailat nahaliꞌana wapani naꞌi, “Inaꞌ owaꞌ negwa anif basefa? Inaꞌ nemeꞌ. Amom mandaꞌmena basef hiafi ma inaꞌ.”


eng: The chief priests accused him of many things.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom pris dembami masapaga Jisasa basef hiafi.


eng: Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders, scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, bound Jesus, carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

aoj: Aꞌi owaꞌ kuhimbita atota amom pris dembami maloma anom dembami daiam Judai a amom dembami magawalipasa muꞌuli Godi, maloma anom Juda dembami mugumafi koti, amom hiami mandakolas maila basef atifif. Amom mowaꞌ Jisas mofaꞌana mafeꞌ masoꞌ gavman dembinai Pailat.


eng: The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the words that Jesus said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he thought about that, he wept.

aoj: Anen naꞌias eaꞌ owaꞌ, awata atata bif eaꞌ Pita aꞌ okom mandandaꞌma basef dokoꞌ Jisas naꞌipanaef owambi nagaꞌi, “Awata owaꞌ ataꞌ tota bifa, inaꞌ nembasoꞌmas niꞌias wanif niꞌi, ‘Owaꞌ negawea.’” Eaꞌ Pita okom mandandaꞌma basef ifimba eaꞌ nalef mehip.

aoj: Deiꞌ Pita nandahaliꞌ naꞌi basef banagafi naꞌi, “Endilisi ilif, aeꞌ ina egawa aman anamba ipaꞌ pagaꞌianai, owaꞌatin.”


eng: But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, “You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.”

aoj: Owaꞌ Pita naꞌias wapani naꞌi, “Aeꞌ ina egawana, aeꞌ owaꞌ.” Aꞌi owaꞌ nogota laota kwasakwasala, owaꞌ anis sagalutu felefeleꞌi saꞌipa Pita wapani saꞌi, “Endilisi, inaꞌ alipinai nagaloma amom Jisasi. Inaꞌ wapani aman Galilinai.”

aoj: Eaꞌ nemataꞌw akwamba kwatolona kwaꞌipas wapani isimba sagalutu felefeleꞌi kwaiꞌpas naꞌamba kwaꞌi, “Aman anamba wapani alipunai nagaloma Jisasi.”


eng: But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying.” He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed.

aoj: Eaꞌ Pita nandahaliꞌ naꞌipaꞌw naꞌi, “Owaꞌ. Aeꞌ ina egawa basef kofagefa inaꞌ nagaꞌiefi.” Eaꞌ anen nosafel nafeꞌ felefeleꞌma indambel uta, anota awata atata.

eng: Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, “Prophesy!” The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.

aoj: Eaꞌ anom mosafel misisiꞌwafana masopama naep ananipi mahana maꞌipana maꞌi, “Niꞌi basef siꞌi profet newalapa wagahinai ami nahena?” Eaꞌ amom polisman mafiꞌi mahana aꞌ mofaꞌana mafeꞌ.

eng: Jesus said, “I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas naꞌi, “Endilisi aeꞌ maꞌuwi. Anaf owagama ipaꞌ apiti aeꞌ ataga epen egefaꞌ alop epesi epe lagol kwahisigili Godi banagewe epe otaga ilif itanimai ifiꞌi petolowe.”


eng: But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”

aoj: Owaꞌ, owaꞌatin. Jisas nasopama malagol nalutu. Anen ina nagwamana basef anen, owaꞌ. Naꞌamba pris anamba dembinai nahaliꞌana wapani naꞌi, “Inaꞌ Krais aman anamba God nasapaꞌena nagafiꞌii aꞌa owaꞌ? Inaꞌ Nogamana God apaꞌ mandaꞌ lotumanai, aꞌa owaꞌ?”


eng: Even so, their testimony didn’t agree.

aoj: Eaꞌ basef ifimba amom magaꞌiefi ina maꞌi endilisifi fafeꞌ atifigin, owaꞌ. Maꞌif fandafeꞌ daindai.


eng: “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”

aoj: “Afaꞌ wameꞌ Jisas naꞌias naꞌamba naꞌi, ‘Ipat Godi luꞌunai epes sandaꞌanai, atiasi aeꞌ igulatana, ma nimaguf wanif aꞌ esaꞌmana notawa wapani. Apaꞌ aeꞌ ina endaꞌ lagof esaꞌmana, owaꞌ.’”


eng: Some stood up and gave false testimony against him, saying,

aoj: Owaꞌ amom daiam malutu masapagana mambasoꞌmana ma anif basef naꞌamba maꞌi,


eng: For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn’t agree with each other.

aoj: Esis hiasi sambasoꞌmana sasapagana dowaf, apaꞌ ina saꞌi endilisifi fafeꞌ atifigin, owaꞌ. Saꞌif fandafeꞌ daindai.


eng: Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.

eng: They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.

eng: Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.

aoj: Eaꞌ Pita ina nalomam atef nafeꞌ, owaꞌ. Anen nagigiꞌmam nafeꞌ nawis indalelemba pris anamba dembinai eaꞌ nape naloma polisman mapoma nif.


eng: but he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.

aoj: Owaꞌ owaꞌatin. Anen nakwaha lowaf atef faꞌoh aꞌ nafaꞌ nafeꞌ dowaf.


eng: A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,

aoj: Anona aman saꞌunai nagiꞌma Jisas nafiꞌi nowahoꞌ anef lowaf afitifi eaꞌ amom magahapila bainagwi bilipi maꞌi mombaloꞌana.


eng: They all left him, and fled.

aoj: Eaꞌ alipumi ananimi hiami makwahona mafaꞌ mafeꞌ hiꞌalam.


eng: Jesus answered them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas naꞌipa amam naumbih naꞌi, “Ipeꞌ pefaꞌai bainah maloma belep pafiꞌi paꞌi pewaꞌ anona aman aonai nandaꞌ wal napaꞌ naloma gavmani?


eng: I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”

eng: But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

aoj: Owaꞌ anona aman nagalutu felefeleꞌma Jisasi nagiai bainat naha anona aman nandaꞌmana maola pris dembinai nape nagaliꞌma pris hiamii, natopaꞌ aliga ananigai peleꞌatowaga gowa.


eng: They laid their hands on him and seized him.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom mowasaꞌ lagof mombaloꞌ Jisas.


eng: Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely.”

aoj: Aman anama nawalapa Jisasi, naliꞌ naꞌipam nandaꞌ ikwaf nihiꞌambam naꞌi, “Atuwasi piti aeꞌ iesisiꞌ dalogwanai, aman anama eaꞌ Jisas maꞌuna. Ipeꞌ pembaloꞌana pewaꞌana andeandeꞌ pefaꞌana pefeꞌ.”


eng: When he had come, immediately he came to him and said, “Rabbi! Rabbi!” and kissed him.

aoj: Amom ataꞌ mataga atin, owaꞌ Judas nafeꞌma Jisas naꞌipana naꞌi, “Tisa dembinai.” Eaꞌ nasisiꞌ dalot Jisasi.


aoj: Amam ataꞌ mataga etin, Judas nafeꞌma Jisas naꞌipana naꞌi, “Dembinai Tisa.” Eaꞌ nasisiꞌ dalogwana.


eng: Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came—and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.

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


eng: He came the third time and said to them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

aoj: Hafel! Afaꞌ ofeꞌ uti aman anama nihiꞌambama aeꞌ deiꞌ nafiꞌi.”


eng: Again he returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they didn’t know what to answer him.

aoj: Jisas naꞌipam naꞌamba ma eaꞌ, aꞌ notanima nafeꞌ nahaliꞌ God. Nahaliꞌanama basef ifimba atif naliꞌ nagahaliꞌanamafi.


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

Nogota bandata siꞌi awa atitin.


eng: He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas nandambemef nafeꞌ, nambeꞌ opaf naꞌoh itap nahaliꞌ God. Naꞌi notofa hiahaom awami amamba anen atiasi nogameꞌagamami.


eng: He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.”

aoj: Eaꞌ nahaliꞌ God naꞌi, “O, Ahame inaꞌ banaginai ma nandaꞌ hiahaom hiami hiꞌagalami. Nekwahome kap apamba. Apaꞌ owaꞌ, inaꞌ nindaila okom ineꞌimi atom, aeꞌ owaꞌ.”


aoj: Eaꞌ nahaliꞌ God naꞌi, “Aba Ahalome, ineꞌ laꞌifinai ma nandaꞌ amamaga hiami hiꞌalam. Nekwahome nimanimi amama. Eaꞌ nila okom ineꞌinai atona, aeꞌ owaꞌ.”


eng: He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.

eng: They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

aoj: Jisas naloma alipumi ananimi mafeꞌ mataga itap Getsemani, eaꞌ naꞌipam naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ pepe naꞌa. Aeꞌ cefeꞌ gani waꞌol endabeten ihaliꞌ God.”


eng: But he spoke all the more, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” They all said the same thing.

aoj: Owaꞌ owaꞌatin. Pita dindinapina naꞌipana banagambel naꞌi, “Owaꞌatin. Iꞌi esis sogahafa, afaꞌ biafa ogaꞌ atin. Aeꞌ ina aꞌ indahaliꞌmina, owaꞌatin endilisi.” Eaꞌ alipumi hiami Jisasi maꞌias naꞌamba atin hiꞌalam.


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

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

aoj: Eaꞌ Pita nagwamana naꞌi, “Iꞌi amom hiami ineꞌimi mogakwaha ineꞌma, hapaimi, apaꞌ aeꞌ owaꞌatin.”


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

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


eng: 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 will be scattered.’

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas naꞌipa amom alipumi naꞌi, “Fowaꞌ gani Baibel nagaꞌi naꞌamba naꞌi, God naꞌi, ‘Anaf owagama gani, aeꞌ aꞌ eha aman anamba nugumafi sipsipi nogaꞌ.

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: Most certainly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in God’s Kingdom.”

eng: He took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They all drank of it.

aoj: Eaꞌ nasaꞌmai anop kap embel wain bagalapi nandabeten nanifela God nasoꞌamambel amom hiami maꞌ embel atin.


eng: As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had blessed it, he broke it and gave to them, 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: For the Son of Man goes as it is written about him, but woe to that man by 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.

eng: He answered them, “It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.

aoj: Jisas naꞌipam naꞌi, “Anona afaꞌinai nalome aeꞌ wahapila bret wagalata disi, eaꞌ anamba atona.


eng: They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, “Surely not I?” And another said, “Surely not I?”

aoj: Eaꞌ amom mameꞌ naꞌamba ukup amamipi aꞌ nimanip eaꞌ mahaliꞌana atona atin maꞌi, “Aeꞌ aꞌa ami?”

eng: When it was evening he came with the twelve.

eng: His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom mafeꞌ mawis wambel ambalemba mati hiahawes isimba siꞌi Jisas naliꞌ nagaꞌipamasi eaꞌ mandondomba gwaꞌaisi isimba Pasova.


eng: He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready for us there.”

aoj: Eaꞌ nihimbaꞌmepa rum amamba luꞌwami mape ilif, eaꞌ sandombata tebol siaifah saꞌoh atifis. Ipaꞌ pendondombamafa gwaꞌaisi rum amamba.”


eng: and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas naꞌipa ananimi biam naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ pefeꞌ piwis gani wambel luꞌwambili, piti anona aman ufiaꞌw nofaꞌ embel sospen luꞌunai. Eaꞌ pigiꞌmana pefeꞌ piwis ipat atamba anen nefeꞌ nogawisatai.

eng: On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare that you may eat the Passover?”

aoj: Nemaf afamba saliꞌ sagaꞌ gwaꞌaisi sagaꞌi Pasovai esis saꞌ bret atamba owaꞌ togatef luꞌutaia, eaꞌ saha sipsip nogami sondolalima Goda sondaꞌ gwaꞌaisi isimba. Eaꞌ alipumi Jisasi mahaliꞌana maꞌi, “Inaꞌ naꞌi afaꞌ ofeꞌ ondondomba ipat anima?”

eng: Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her.”

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

eng: While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard—very costly. She broke the jar and poured it over his head.

eng: and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren’t able.”

eng: He said to them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas nagwamama basef naꞌi, “Endilisi. Elaija nifiꞌi nondondomba amamaga hiami motaga boꞌom andeandeꞌ. Eaꞌ basef mail buk Baibeli maꞌi dembinai anona nemaf notaga epen endilisinai nope niꞌimama? Amama maꞌi anan nemeꞌ nimanimi awami ma esis sowaꞌ alafugahana.

aoj: Eaꞌ mahaliꞌ Jisas maꞌi, “Deiꞌ maina amom dembami magawalipasa muꞌuli Godi magaꞌi Elaija fowaꞌinai ataꞌ niliꞌ nogafiꞌi?”

aoj: Eaꞌ amom mahapila basef ifimba mape, mandaꞌipama maꞌi, “Basef ifimba Jisasi notanima nogosafel matmat, kofagefa fafeꞌ faꞌimama?”


eng: As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom ataꞌ makwaha halafuta mafiꞌi atin, Jisas naꞌipam dindinip naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ ina pewalapa hiahaom amamba deiꞌ pagatulumi piꞌipa anin epenam, owaꞌi. Apefeꞌ dondoꞌma nemaf afamba aeꞌ ataga epen egefaꞌ alop epesi, ma sehe egaꞌ egesafel matmat wapani, daoꞌ piꞌipas.”

aoj: Alipumi Jisasi wanom matologon kwafalis ganigani, apaꞌ ina mati anin epen, owaꞌatin. Mati Jisas atona nalutu nalomam.


eng: For he didn’t know what to say, for they were very afraid.

eng: Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.

aoj: Eaꞌ mati amam biam fowaꞌimi, Elaija naloma Moses mataga malutu maꞌi maloma Jisas.

eng: After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.
