¹In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

¹Ngkai kamoncobu-ncobu-ra tauna to morumpu doko' mpohilo Yesus, mome'upi' -ra alaa-na momepopongko ngkawiti'. Nto'u toe, Yesus mpololitai ana'guru-na, na'uli': "Mo'inga' -inga' -koi hi ragi-ra to Parisi. Batua-na, neo' nituku' kehi-ra. Apa' hira' toe lompe' hi mali-na-wadi dada'a moto hi rala nono-ra.

²For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

²Tapi' hawe'ea kehi-ra to tewunii' bate kahiloa mpai'. Pai' hawe'ea to hi rala nono-ra bate telohu mpai'.

³Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

³Jadi', napa to ni'uli' hi bengi-na bate ralohu hi eo-na. Pai' napa to niwara' -ki doo hi rala tomi to tehohoki, bate ratolele hobo' hi rala ngata.

⁴And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

⁴"Ompi' -ompi', pe'epei lompe' lolita-ku: neo' -koi mpoka'eka' manusia' to doko' mpopatehi-koi, apa' hudu ree-wadi pakulea' -ra.

⁵But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

⁵Sampale-di to kana nipoka'eka', Alata'ala. Apa' mokuasa-i mpatehi-koi, pai' mokuasa wo'o-i mpotadi-koi hi rala naraka. Mpu'u ku'uli' -kokoi, Hi'a-mi to kana nipoka'eka'.

⁶Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

⁶"Lima ma'a rone biasa-na rapobalu' nte rompepa' doi see-wadi. Aga nau' wae, uma ria hama'aa to uma nakiwoi Pue' Ala.

⁷But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

⁷Peliu-liu-nami koi'. Bangku' kawori' wuluwoo' -ni nabila' pai' na'inca omea. Jadi' neo' -koi me'eka'. Meliu-pi pompewili' -na Alata'ala hi koi' ngkai pompewili' -na rone to wori'.

⁸Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

⁸"Pe'epei lompe' lolita-ku: hema to mpangaku' hi doo kahi'a-na topetuku' -ku, hi'a wo'o mpai' kupangaku' hi nyanyoa hawe'ea mala'eka Alata'ala, ku'uli': `Tau toei topetuku' -ku.'

⁹But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

⁹Aga hema to mposapu-a hi doo, hi'a wo'o mpai' kusapu hi nyanyoa mala'eka Alata'ala, ku'uli': `Bela-i topetuku' -ku.'

¹⁰And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

¹⁰"Tauna to ncapuaka-a, Aku' Ana' Manusia', ma'ala-pidi te'ampungi sala' -na. Aga tauna to mporuge' Inoha' Tomoroli', uma-pi ma'ala ampungia sala' -na.

¹¹And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

¹¹"Ane rakeni-koi hi tomi posampayaa pai' rapakilu-koi hi topohura agama ba topoparenta sabana petuku' -ni hi Aku', neo' -koi me'eka' ba beiwa mpai' tompoi' -ni ba napa mpai' to kana ni'uli'.

¹²For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

¹²Apa' hinto'u toe mpai', Inoha' Tomoroli' moto mpotudui' -koi napa to kana ni'uli'."

¹³And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

¹³Ria hadua ngkai laintongo' ntodea mpo'uli' -ki Yesus: "Guru, uli' -ki ompi' -ku bona nawai' -a-kuwo bagia-ku ngkai sosora totu'a-kai."

¹⁴And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

¹⁴Na'uli' Yesus: "Ompi', hema to mpo'ongko' -a jadi' topohura to mpobagi-kokoi sosora totu'a-ni?"

¹⁵And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

¹⁵Oti toe na'uli' -raka tauna to wori': "Mo'inga' -inga' -koi pai' pelompehi, bona neo' -koi mpokahina ba apa-apa rewa dunia'. Apa' nau' wori' rewa-ta, uma ngkai rewa toe pai' lompe' tuwu' -ta."

¹⁶And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

¹⁶Ngkai ree, Yesus mpololitai-ra hante hanyala lolita rapa', na'uli': "Ria hadua topo'ua' to tebua' lompe' -ki polia' -na.

¹⁷And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

¹⁷Na'uli' -mi hi rala nono-na: `Napa-le' to kubabehi-e? Uma-pi liu poropo' -ku kupontimamahii wua' polia' -ku.

¹⁸And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

¹⁸Aa, kurata reke! Kukero lau-di poropo' -ku, pai' kuwangu to meliu kabohe-na, bona hi retu-mi mpai' pontimamahia hawe'ea pae-ku pai' rewa-ku.

¹⁹And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

¹⁹Oti toe mpai', uma-apa mobago, apa' wori' -mi timamahia-ku, hono' nte ba hangkuja mpae kupake'. Wae-pi, ntora-ama, ngkoni', nginu, pai' ntora goe' -a-damo!'

²⁰But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

²⁰"Ntaa' we'i Alata'ala mpo'uli' -ki tauna toei: `He towojo! Bengi toe mpai' lau, ra'alai' -moko inoha' -nu. Jadi', hawe'ea to nurumpu tetu, hema-mi mpai' pue' -na?'

²¹So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

²¹"Wae-mi katuwu' tauna to doko' mporumpu ka'uaa' hi dunia', tapi' mpe'ahii' tuwu' -ra hi poncilo Alata'ala."

²²And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

²²Na'uli' Yesus mpo'uli' -raka ana'guru-na: "Toe pai' ku'uli' -kokoi, neo' -koi sese' mpopekiri tuwu' -ni. Neo' ni'uli': `Napa-le' to takoni' -e? Napa-le' to tapohea-e?'

²³The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

²³Apa' katuwu' -ni meliu ngkai pongkoni' pai' pohea.

²⁴Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

²⁴Penonoi-dile danci kaa' -e. Uma-ra molia', uma-ra mepae, uma ria poropo' -ra ba wilulu-ra. Aga nau' wae, Alata'ala mpowai' moto-ra pongkoni'. Peliu-liu-nami koi', apa' hi poncilo Alata'ala meliu tuwu' -ni ngkai katuwu' danci, pai' meliu pompewili' -na hi koi' ngkai pompewili' -na hi danci.

²⁵And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

²⁵Napa wo'o kalaua-na wori' rahi pekiri-ni? Apa' nau' sese' ncuu-ta mpopekiri, uma-ta bisa mpodonihii umuru-ta nau' kampa' hamengi.

²⁶If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

²⁶Jadi', ane to kedi' toe uma nipakulei' mpobabehi, napa pai' wori' rahi pekiri-ni?

²⁷Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

²⁷Penonoi-dile katuwu' wunga-e. Uma-ra mobago, uma-ra mpobabehi pohea-ra. Tapi' ku'uli' -kokoi, bangku' Magau' Salomo-hawoe' hante hawe'ea ka'uaa' -na, pohea-na uma hewa kancola wunga toera lau.

²⁸If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

²⁸Kowo' hi papada tuwu' eo toe lau, mepulo rasuwe oti. Aga nau' wae, Alata'ala mpakancola moto kowo' toe. Peliu-liu-nami koi'! Meliu pompewili' Alata'ala hi koi'. Jadi', napa pai' uma nipangala' pompewili' -nae?

²⁹And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

²⁹Jadi' neo' -koi sese' rahi mpenonoi napa to nikoni' ba napa to ni'inu. Neo' -koi me'eka'.

³⁰For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

³⁰Hawe'ea tetu lau to ntora rapali' tauna to uma mpo'incai Alata'ala. Hiaa' Tuama-ni hi suruga mpo'inca kaparaluua-ni.

³¹But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

³¹Kana mengkoru-ta hi Alata'ala bona Hi'a jadi' Magau' -ta. Ane toe tababehi, to ntani' -ntani' -na nawai' moto-ta mpai'.

³²Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

³²"Koi' to mpotuku' -a, uma-koi hangkuja-na. Aga nau' wae, neo' -koi me'eka'. Apa' Alata'ala Tuama-ni mpopelihi-mokoi ngkai kabula rala-na, napajadi' -koi ntodea-na hi rala Kamagaua' -na.

³³Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

³³Toe pai' ku'uli', pobalu' -mi rewa-ni, pai' oli-na wai' -raka tokabu. Babehi-mokoi karepe' to uma bisa moheu'. Batua-na, babehi kehi to lompe'. Apa' kehi to lompe' toe ma'ala rarapai' -ki rewa to nitimamahi hi suruga, to uma ria karontoa-na, apa' uma ria to mpanako pai' uma ria anutuwu' to mposerohi.

³⁴For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

³⁴Apa' hiapa pontimamahia rewa-ta, retu wo'o nono-ta.

³⁵Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

³⁶"Neo' -koi lempe', mo'inga' -inga' oa' -koi mpopea karata-ku. Agina-koi hewa batua to mpopea karata-na maradika-ra ngkai posusaa' poncamokoa. Batua toera, sadia-mi pohea-ra, pai' palita-ra rapobaa ncuu, bona ane rata-ipi mpai' maradika-ra pai' -i mpopebea wobo', kaliliu rabea-ki.

³⁶And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

³⁷Morasi' batua to narata maradika-ra bula-ra mojaga pai' mpopea karata-na. Apa' maradika toei mpai' mpehoo' abe' hi hope' -na, napopohura-ra pai' natonui-ra.

³⁷Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

³⁸Morasi' mpu'u-ra batua to narata maradika-ra rodo moto-ra mpopea-i, nau' mentongo' bengi ba paia-na liu mentongo' bengi.

³⁸And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

³⁹"Poinono lolita rapa' -ku toi: Ane na'inca ami' -mi pue' tomi jaa hangkuja topanako rata, bate mojaga-i bona neo' -ra mesua'.

³⁹And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

⁴⁰Hewa toe wo'o kana rodo ami' -mokoi mpopea-a, apa' uma ni'incai tempo karata-ku Aku' Ana' Manusia'."

⁴⁰Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

⁴¹Napekune' Petrus hi Yesus: "Pue', ba hi kai' -wadi lolita rapa' tetu-e, ba hi ntodea wo'o-di?"

⁴¹Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?

⁴²Na'uli' Pue': "Rapa' -na ria hadua batua to monoto nono-na pai' to tida mpobago bago maradika-na. Batua toei na'ongko' maradika-na jadi' topohawa' to mpohawai' batua ntani' -na pai' mpobagi-raka pongkoni' -ra butu eo-na.

⁴²And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?

⁴³Uma mowo kamorasi' -na ane maradika-na rata nculii' ngkai pomakoa' -na pai' mporata-i bula-na mpobago bago-na.

⁴³Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

⁴⁴Mpu'u ku'uli' -kokoi, maradika-na mpo'ongko' -i pai' mpowai' -i kuasa mpewili' hawe'ea ka'uaa' -na.

⁴⁴Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

⁴⁵Aga silaka mpai' batua to mpo'uli': `Uma-ile sohi' rata maradika-e.' Natepu'u-mi mpoweba' hingka batua-na ba tobine ba tomane, pai' -i ntora ngkoni' pai' nginu duu' -na palangu-langu.

⁴⁵But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

⁴⁶Ntaa' we'i, bula-na lempe' moto hewa toe, muu-mule' rata-mi maradika-na hi eo pai' hi jaa to uma na'incai. Batua toei raweba' ntarurua' pai' rapetadi hi mali-na, raponcawa tauna to uma mepangala' hi Alata'ala.

⁴⁶The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

⁴⁷"Batua to mpo'inca moto konoa maradika-na, tapi' uma-i mo'inga' -inga' pai' uma nababehi konoa maradika-na, batua toei bate raweba' mperegea.

⁴⁷And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

⁴⁸Aga batua to uma-hawo mpo'incai konoa maradika-na, pai' -i mpobabehi to natao raweba' -ki, raweba' moto-i, aga huka' -na-wadi. Apa' hema to rawai' wori', wori' wo'o to ratuntu' ngkai hi'a. Hema to ratonui wori', rapomperapii' wori' wo'o-i.

⁴⁸But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

⁴⁹"Katumai-ku toi, tumai mpobaa apu hi dunia'. Pai' konoa-ku bona apu toe sohi' rapobaa-mi.

⁴⁹I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

⁵⁰Ria-pidi pontodohakaa to kana kutodohaka, pai' uma oa' rodo nono-ku ane pontodohakaa toe ko'ia madupa'.

⁵⁰But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

⁵¹Ha ni'uli' -koina katumai-ku toi, tumai mpopohintuwu' tauna? Uma-e'! Katumai-ku toi, tumai mpoposisala tauna.

⁵¹Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

⁵²Ntepu'u ngkai tempo toi, tau hantina to nte lima rala-na hantomi mosisala: tolu hamali, rodua hamali.

⁵²For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

⁵³To tuama mpo'ewa ana' -na tomane, ana' tomane mpo'ewa tuama-na. To tina mpo'ewa ana' -na tobine, pai' ana' tobine mpo'ewa tina-na. To piniana mpo'ewa minia-na, pai' to minia mpo'ewa piniana-na."

⁵³The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

⁵⁴Na'uli' wo'o-mi Yesus hi tauna to wori': "Ane nihilo limu' mehupa' tono' hi kasoloa, ni'uli' udaa mpai'. Udaa mpu'u.

⁵⁴And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.

⁵⁵Ane mewui ngolu' ngkai tono' selatan, ni'uli' mara eo mpai', pai' bate wae mpu'u.

⁵⁵And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.

⁵⁶He koi' to lompe' hi mali-na-wadi! Ni'inca lia mpelence tanda hi langi' pai' hi dunia'. Napa-di pai' uma ni'incai mpelence napa to nababehi Pue' Ala tempo toi!

⁵⁶Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?

⁵⁷"Napa pai' uma oa' nipakanoto nono-ni pai' mpangaku' napa to monoa'!

⁵⁷Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

⁵⁸Ane rapa' -na ria to doko' mpakilu-ta hi totu'a ngata, agina tahuduwukui mpo'oti kara-kara-ta bula-ta hi lengko ohea-pidi. Nee-neo' mpai' nakeni mpu'u-ta hi topohura, pai' topohura mpai' mpotonu-ta hi polisi, pai' polisi mpopesua' -ta hi rala tarungku'.

⁵⁸When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

⁵⁹Mpu'u ku'uli': uma-tapa tebahaka ngkai rala tarungku' ane da koo-ko'ia oti tabayari waya' -ta."

⁵⁹I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
