¹And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

¹Hangkani Yesus mosampaya. Kahudu-na mosampaya, hadua ana'guru-na mpo'uli' -ki: "Pue', tudui' wo'o-ka-kaiwo mosampaya, hewa Yohanes Topeniu' mpotudui' ana'guru-na."

²And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

²Na'uli' Yesus mpo'uli' -raka: "Ane mosampaya-koi, uli' hewa tohe'i: Mama, pomperapia' -kai bona hawe'ea tauna mpobila' hanga' -nu to moroli', bona Iko jadi' Magau' hi dunia'.

³Give us day by day our daily bread.

³Wai' -kai pongkoni' to kiparaluu eo-eo-na.

⁴And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

⁴Ampungi jeko' -kai, apa' kai' wo'o mpo'ampungi hawe'ea tauna to masala' hi kai'. Pai' neo' -kai nupelele' rasori."

⁵And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;

⁵Na'uli' wo'o-mi Yesus mpo'uli' -raka ana'guru-na: "Rapa' -na hilou-ta hi doo-ta mentongo' bengi pai' ta'uli' -ki: `Bale, wai' -a-kuwo pongkoni' tolu mputu'.

⁶For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?

⁶Apa' ria bale-ku to lako' rata, hiaa' uma-kuna ria napa-napa to kuwai' -ki.'

⁷And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

⁷"Ha natompoi' -ta mpai' hewa tohe'i: `Neo' -a nusaleroi. Wobo' tehohoki-mi. Ana' -ku leta' omea-ramo dohe-ku. Uma-a bisa memata mpowai' -ko ba napa-napa.'

⁸I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.

⁸Uma mpai' hewa toe tompoi' -na. Nau' bale-ta uma dota memata pai' mpowai' -ta napa-napa, aga apa' uma tabahakai pai' uma-ta me'ea' mperapii' -i, memata oa' -i mpowai' -ta napa to taparaluu.

⁹And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

⁹"Jadi' ku'uli' -kokoi: Perapi' -mi hi Alata'ala, nawai' moto-ta mpai'. Pali' kaparaluua-ta hi Alata'ala, tarata moto mpai'. Neo' tabahakai mpopebea wobo', Alata'ala mpobea moto-taka mpai' wobo' -na.

¹⁰For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

¹⁰Apa' hema to merapi' bate rawai'. Hema to mpali' bate mporata. Hema to mpopebea wobo', bate rabea-ki wobo'.

¹¹If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

¹¹Ha ria-koi to mpowai' ule hi ana' -ni ane merapi' -i bau'?

¹²Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

¹²Ba mpowai' -i pehede' ane merapi' -i ntolumanu'? Tantu uma.

¹³If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

¹³Nau' hewa apa-mi kadada'a-nie, ni'inca moto mpowai' to lompe' hi ana' -ni. Peliu-liu-nami Tuama-ni to ria hi rala suruga! Bate nawai' Inoha' Tomoroli' hi tauna to merapi' hi Hi'a."

¹⁴And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.

¹⁴Rala-na ha'eo, Yesus mpopalai seta ngkai hadua tauna to uma howa' mololita. Wae kanawuso-na seta toe, howa' -imi tauna toei mololita. Konce-ramo ntodea.

¹⁵But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.

¹⁵Aga ria wo'o-ra to mpo'uli': "Kuasa-na tetu-le ngkai Beelzebul, magau' hawe'ea seta. Toe-hawo pai' ria baraka' -na mpopalai seta-e."

¹⁶And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.

¹⁶Ria wo'o-ra hantongo' to doko' mposori Yesus. Merapi' -ra hi Yesus bona napopohiloi-ra anu mekoncehi bona monoa' ra'inca kangkai Alata'ala-na mpu'u-i.

¹⁷But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.

¹⁷Ntaa' na'inca-di Yesus napa to hi rala nono-rae. Toe pai' na'uli' -raka: "Ane rapa' -na ria hadua magau', pai' ntodea hi rala kamagaua' -na ntora mome'ewa, bate mogero mpai' kamagaua' -na toe. Wae wo'o tau hantomi to ntora motuda', bate pagaa' -gaa' -ra mpai'.

¹⁸If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.

¹⁸Wae wo'o hi kamagaua' -na seta. Ane seta mpo'ewa hingka seta-na, bate mogero mpai' kamagaua' -na seta. Hiaa' ni'uli' -koina, mpopalai-a seta hante baraka' Beelzebul, magau' seta.

¹⁹And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

¹⁹Aga ria wo'o doo-ni moto to mpopalai seta. Hante kuasa napa doo-ni tetu mpopalai seta? Tantu hante kuasa Alata'ala. Jadi', ngkai pobabehi doo-ni moto, monoto-mi kamasala' pebalihi-ni tetu.

²⁰But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

²⁰Tapi' Aku', mpopalai-a seta hante baraka' Alata'ala. Ngkai toe, monoa' -mi ni'inca karata-nami tempo-na Alata'ala jadi' Magau' hi laintongo' -ni.

²¹When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

²¹"Seta ma'ala rarapai' -ki tauna to parimuku. Ane tauna to parimuku mpodongo tomi-na hante rewa panga'e-na, uma moapa ihi' tomi-na.

²²But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

²²Aga ane tumai hadua to meliu karoho-na mpo'ewa-i pai' mpodagi-i, nahagoi-i hawe'ea rewa panga'e-na to nasarumaka pai' nabagi-bagi ihi' tomi-na hi doo-doo-na. Jadi', ane Aku' mpopalai seta, batua-na meliu kuasa-ku ngkai seta.

²³He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

²³"Hema to uma tono' hi Aku', kakono-na bali' -ku-imi. Hema to uma mpotulungi-a mobago, hi'a to mpobalinai' bago-ku.

²⁴When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.

²⁴"Rapa' -na ria anudaa' to mpohawi' tauna. Malai-imi anudaa' toei, pai' -i modao' -dao' hi kawaoa' -na mpali' po'ohaa' -na. Apa' uma ria naruai', na'uli' -mi: `Agina nculii' lau-ama hi po'ohaa' to kupalahii-mi toe wengi ria.'

²⁵And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.

²⁵Ponculi' -na hilou hi tauna to napalahii-e wengi, nahilo-hawo uma ria to mpo'ohai' -i. Tauna toei hewa tomi to molela' tepehaii, hinapa' hiloa-na.

²⁶Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

²⁶Toe pai' hilou ncala' -i mpokio' pitu hingka anudaa' -na to meliu kadada'a-ra ngkai hi'a. Tumai-ramo mesua' hi tauna to napalahii toe-e wengi, pai' mo'oha' -ramo hi ree. Ka'omea-na tampai kampe'ahii' tauna toei ngkai lomo' -na."

²⁷And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

²⁷Bula-na Yesus mololita, hadua tobine hi laintongo' ntodea mpo'uli' mpesukui: "Morasi' mpu'u-i-hana tobine to mpo'ote pai' to mpentii' -ko!"

²⁸But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

²⁸Na'uli' Yesus: "Aga to morasi' mpu'u-le, tauna to mpo'epe pai' mpotuku' Lolita Alata'ala."

²⁹And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

²⁹Nto'u tauna to wori' mpotipuhi Yesus, napokaliliu lolita-na, na'uli': "Dada'a lia tauna to tuwu' tempo toi. Merapi' -ra bona kupopohiloi-ra tanda mekoncehi. Aga uma hanyalaa tanda mekoncehi to rapopohiloi-raka. Sampale to rapopohiloi-raka mpai', tanda hewa to jadi' hi nabi Yunus owi.

³⁰For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

³⁰Hewa Yunus jadi' tanda to rapokakonce pue' ngata Niniwe owi, wae wo'o Aku' Ana' Manusia' jadi' tanda to rapokakonce tauna to tuwu' tempo toi.

³¹The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

³¹Hi Eo Kiama mpai', raja bine ngkai Selatan rapotuwu' nculii' hangkaa-ngkania hante koi' to tuwu' tempo toi, pai' -i mpotudo' sala' -ni. Apa' momako' -i tumai ngkai ngata to molaa lia, doko' mpu'u-i mpo'epe lolita Magau' Salomo to pante lia. Hiaa' ria-mi hi laintongo' -ni to meliu kabohe tuwu' -na ngkai Salomo, aga uma oa' nipangalai' lolita-na.

³²The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

³²Wae wo'o hi Eo Kiama mpai', pue' ngata Niniwe rapotuwu' nculii' hangkaa-ngkania hante koi' to tuwu' tempo toi, pai' -ra mpotudo' sala' -ni. Apa' hira', medea-ramo-rana ngkai jeko' -ra kampo'epe-ra pololita nabi Yunus. Hiaa' ria-mi hi laintongo' -ni to meliu kabohe tuwu' -na ngkai Yunus, aga uma oa' nipangalai' lolita-na.

³³No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.

³³"Uma ria tauna mposuwe palita pai' nawuni ba napopoi' hante kura. Palita bate ratu'u hi pontu'ua-na bona hini-na rahilo tauna to mesua'.

³⁴The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

³⁴Mata-ta ma'ala rarapai' -ki hulu'. Ane lompe' mata-ta, monoto pehilo-ta. Aga ane mogawu mata-ta, hewa mobengi pehilo-ta.

³⁵Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

³⁵Wae wo'o-hawo hante nono-ta. Kana tapelompehi mpu'u: ane Pue' mpobajahi nono-ta, neo' tapomobengi nculii'.

³⁶If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

³⁶Ane Pue' mpobajahi nono-ta duu' -na uma-pi ria kabengia-na, mobaja mpu'u katuwu' -ta omea, hewa tomi to nabajahi palita."

³⁷And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

³⁷Hudu-mi Yesus mololita, ria hadua to Parisi mpokio' -i lou ngkoni' hi tomi-na. Hilou mpu'u-imi ngkoni'.

³⁸And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.

³⁸Konce to Parisi toei mpohilo Yesus ngkoni', apa' uma-i leba' mowano ntuku' ada agama-ra.

³⁹And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

³⁹Toe pai' Pue' Yesus mpo'uli' -ki: "Koi' to Parisi-le hewa tauna to mpobohoi' sangkiri' pai' piri hi mali-na-wadi, hiaa' hi rala-na babo' moto. Ada agama to kahiloa hi mali-na nituku' lia, hiaa' hi rala nono-ni, dada'a-koi pai' mpokahina anu doo-koi.

⁴⁰Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

⁴⁰Wojo mpu'u-koi! Ha woto-ta-wadi to napajadi' Pue'? Ha uma napajadi' wo'o nono-ta?

⁴¹But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

⁴¹Napa to hi rala sangkiri' pai' piri-ni wai' -raka to mpe'ahii' tuwu' -ra. Ane hewa toe-mi po'ingku-ni, hawe'ea jadi' moroli' hi koi'.

⁴²But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

⁴²"Silaka-koi to Parisi! Ntahawe' hinu'a to kedi' hewa tarangkada' pai' kula' pai' hinu'a ntani' -na nipopepue' hampobagiahampulu' hi Alata'ala. Hiaa' parenta to bohe, hewa po'ingku to monoa' hi doo-ni pai' ahi' hi Pue' Ala, uma nisaile'. Kakoo-kono-na, ke parenta to bohe toe-hanale to kana nituku' -e, pai' neo' wo'o nilipo' mpotuku' parenta to kedi'.

⁴³Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

⁴³"Silaka-koi to Parisi! Apa' goe' -koi mohura hi pohuraa karabilaa' hi tomi posampayaa, pai' goe' -koi ane tauna hi wiwi' karajaa motingkua' mpotabe-koi.

⁴⁴Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.

⁴⁴Silaka-koi, apa' koi' hewa daeo' to uma ka'incanaa, to uma ria pompetonoi-na. Tauna mpolisa daeo' toe, aga uma ra'incai karia-na anu pope hi rala-na. Lompe' -koi hi mali-na, tapi' dada'a hi rala nono-ni."

⁴⁵Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.

⁴⁵Hadua guru agama Yahudi mpo'uli' -ki Yesus: "Guru, hante lolita-nu tetu, kai' wo'o to nusalai'!"

⁴⁶And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

⁴⁶Mehono' Yesus: "Silaka wo'o-dakoi guru agama! Apa' nipopokoloi ntodea hante parenta pai' ada to motomo. Hiaa' uma-koi dota mpotulungi-ra ngkolo kinolo toe. Nau' hangkaju karawe-ni uma nihuko-raka.

⁴⁷Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴⁷Silaka-koi! Nipenasa-damo mpakalompe' daeo' -ra nabi to owi, hiaa' ntu'a-ni moto-mi to mpatehi nabi toera.

⁴⁸Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.

⁴⁸Hante pobabehi-ni tetu, nipangaku' moto-mi kanipokono-na kehi ntu'a-ni tetu. Hira' mpatehi nabi to owi, pai' koi' mpakalompe' daeo' -ra.

⁴⁹Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

⁴⁹Aga monoto lia patuju-na Alata'ala, na'uli' hewa toi: `Kupahawa' mpai' nabi-ku pai' suro-ku hilou hi tauna toera. Hantongo' -ra mpai' rapatehi, hantongo' -ra rasesa'.'

⁵⁰That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

⁵⁰Ka'omea-na mpai', koi' to tuwu' tempo toi rahuku' sabana hawe'ea nabi to rapatehi ngkai lomo' kajadi' dunia',

⁵¹From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

⁵¹ntepu'u ngkai karapatehi-na Habel owi, rata-rata hi karapatehi-na nabi Zakharia, to rapatehi hi berewe Tomi Alata'ala hi olo' meja' pontunua pepue' pai' tomi to moroli'. Wae mpu'u-di! Koi' to tuwu' tempo toi bate rahuku' sabana hawe'ea kasalaa' totu'a-ni toe.

⁵²Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

⁵²"Silaka-koi guru agama! Kakoo-kono-na, ke koi' -di to mpotudui' ntodea ohea bona mpo'inca Alata'ala. Ntaa' koi' moto uma dota mpotuku' ohea toe, pai' nilawa' lau wo'o-di tauna to doko' mpotuku' -e."

⁵³And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:

⁵³Malai-imi Yesus ngkai ree. Pai' ntepu'u tempo toe, gigi mpu'u-mi nono-ra guru agama pai' to Parisi. Toe pai' rapemai-mai-i hante wori' nyala pompekunea' -ra,

⁵⁴Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

⁵⁴pai' ralelemata ncuu-i, mpali' kasalaa' hi pololita-na.
