¹Kana O Jesus getosardia te phenel so te keren leske desh u dui disipluria, gelotar kotsar te sicharel ai te del duma pa Del ande lenge foruria.

¹And it came to pass, when Jesus ended directing his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.

²Kana o Iovano o baptisto ande temnitsa ashundia so kerelas O Kristo, tradia divano pe peske disipluria.

²And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,

³Te phushen lestar, "Tu san kodo kai trobulas te avel, vai trobul te azhukeras avres?"

³said to him, `Art thou He who is coming, or for another do we look?`

⁴O Jesus phendia lenge, 'Zhan ai phenen le Iovanoske, so ashunen ai so dikhen;

⁴And Jesus answering said to them, `Having gone, declare to John the things that ye hear and see,

⁵Le korhe dikhen, le bange phiren, le lepri vuzhon, le kashuke ashunen, le mule zhuvindin, ai e lashi viasta phendila le chorenge.

⁵blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news proclaimed,

⁶Raduime kodo kai haliarel kon sim ai chaches pachalpe ande mande!"

⁶and happy is he who may not be stumbled in me.`

⁷Ai sar zhanastar, O Jesus dias duma le narodosa pa Iovano, "So gelian te dikhen ande pusta? E treshtia kai mishkilas katar e barval?

⁷And as they are going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, `What went ye out to the wilderness to view? — a reed shaken by the wind?

⁸So gelian te dikhen? Iek manush huriardo andel shukar tsalia? Kodola kai phiraven shukar tsalia beshen andel khera amperatonge!

⁸`But what went ye out to see? — a man clothed in soft garments? lo, those wearing the soft things are in the kings` houses.

⁹So gelian te dikhen? Ek profeto? E, me phenav tumenge, "Ke wo si mai but sar profeto.

⁹`But what went ye out to see? — a prophet? yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet,

¹⁰Ke kodo si kai si ramome pa leste: 'Tradava murho podaitori mai anglal tutar te getol o drom angla tute."

¹⁰for this is he of whom it hath been written, Lo, I do send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.

¹¹Phenav tumenge o chachimos! "Mashkar manush kai arakhadile zhuvliatar chi vazdinesailo khonik mai baro sar o Iovano o baptisto. Numa kodo kai si mai xantsi ande amperetsia le rhaioski si mai baro lestar.

¹¹Verily I say to you, there hath not risen, among those born of women, a greater than John the Baptist, but he who is least in the reign of the heavens is greater than he.

¹²De katar o dies kai o Iovano o baptisto delas duma pa Del ai zhi akana e amperetsia le rhaioski chinuil ke pe zor kerdiol ai manush pe zor len e amperatsi.

¹²`And, from the days of John the Baptist till now, the reign of the heavens doth suffer violence, and violent men do take it by force,

¹³Ke sa le profeturia ai o zakono le Mosesoske dine profesi zhi ka o Iovano;

¹³for all the prophets and the law till John did prophesy,

¹⁴Ai te mangena te primin, wo si o Elijah, kai sas te avel.

¹⁴and if ye are willing to receive [it], he is Elijah who was about to come;

¹⁵Kodo kai si les khan te ashunel. Mek te ashunel!

¹⁵he who is having ears to hear — let him hear.

¹⁶"Pe soste sai phenav ke miazol kadia vitsa. Miazol sar glate, kai beshen ando bazari, ai phenen le kolavrenge.

¹⁶`And to what shall I liken this generation? it is like little children in market-places, sitting and calling to their comrades,

¹⁷'Jilabadiam tumenge abiaveske jilia, ai tume chi kheldian! 'Jilabadiam tristo jili, ai tume chi nekezhisardian!'

¹⁷and saying, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance, we lamented to you, and ye did not smite the breast.

¹⁸O Iovano avilo, chi xalia ai chi pelia, ai won phende leske, 'dzilolo, bengailo!' O Shav le Manushesko avilo, xalas ai pelas, ai won phende,

¹⁸`For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon;

¹⁹O Shav le Manushesko xal but ai macharno lo, vortako lo manushensa kai chiden e taksa ai bezexalensa!' Numa lesko chachimos sikadiola pala e buchi kai kerdias."

¹⁹the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners, and wisdom was justified of her children.`

²⁰Antunchi O Jesus doshardias le foruria kai kerdias mirakluria ande lende, ke chi keisaile.

²⁰Then began he to reproach the cities in which were done most of his mighty works, because they did not reform.

²¹"Nasul tuke Chorazin! Nasul tuke Bethsaida! Ke te avino le mirakluria kerde ande Tire ai Sidon, kai sas kerde tumende, dumult kamas te phiraven tsalia goneske, ai te thon wushar pe peste, te sikaven ke keisaile!"

²¹`Wo to thee, Chorazin! wo to thee, Bethsaida! because, if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago in sackcloth and ashes they had reformed;

²²Numa me phenav tumenge, "Po dies la krisako mai vushoro avela lenge e Tire ai Sidon sar tumenge!"

²²but I say to you, to Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in a day of judgment than for you.

²³"Ai tu, Capernaum! Avesa vazdini zhi ka rhaio? Nichi, ta tele si te zhas ta ando iado! Ke te avino le mirakluria kerde ando Sodom, kai sas kerde tute, sas te avel o Sodom zhi adies!"

²³`And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades shalt be brought down, because if in Sodom had been done the mighty works that were done in thee, it had remained unto this day;

²⁴Numa me phenav tuke, "Ke mai vushoro avela le themeske Sodom po dies la krisako de sar tuke!"

²⁴but I say to you, to the land of Sodom it shall be more tolerable in a day of judgment than to thee.`

²⁵Ande kodia vriama O Jesus phendia, "Naisiv tuke, murho Dat gazda le rhaiosko ai la phuviako! Ke meklian te haliaren kodola kai si sar glate ai na kodola kai gindinpe gojaver ai le studento.

²⁵At that time Jesus answering said, `I do confess to Thee, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that thou didst hide these things from wise and understanding ones, and didst reveal them to babes.

²⁶Anda kodia, murho Dat, naisiv tuke ke chi voia sas te kerdiol kadia.

²⁶Yes, Father, because so it was good pleasure before Thee.

²⁷"Swako fielo thodias ando murho vas murho Dat. Ai khonik chi zhanel le Shaves ferdi O Dat, ai khonik chi zhanel le Dades ferdi O Shav, ai kon godi halol O Shav te mekel te zhanen le Dades.

²⁷`All things were delivered to me by my Father, and none doth know the Son, except the Father, nor doth any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal [Him].

²⁸"Aven mande, sa tume kai san chinuime ai kai si baro pharipe pe tumende, ai dav tume hodina.

²⁸`Come unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest,

²⁹Le murhe ioke pe tute ai sicho mandar ke domolo sim ai kovlo ando ilo, ai si te arakhen hodina tumare duxoske.

²⁹take up my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls,

³⁰Ke murhi ioke nai trutno ai murho pharipe vushoro.

³⁰for my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.`
