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."

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

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'.

²And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Father, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.

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

³Give us day by day our daily bread.

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

⁴And forgive us our sins; for we ourselves also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation.

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'.

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

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

⁶for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him;

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.'

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

¹¹And of which of you that is a father shall his son ask a loaf, and he give him a stone? or a fish, and he for a fish give him a serpent?

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

¹²Or [if] he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion?

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."

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?

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.

¹⁴And he was casting out a demon [that was] dumb. And it came to pass, when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spake; and the multitudes marvelled.

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."

¹⁵But some of them said, By Beelzebub the prince of the demons casteth he out demons.

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.

¹⁶And others, trying [him], sought of him a sign from heaven.

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'.

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.

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.

¹⁸And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub.

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.

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

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.

²⁰But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then is the kingdom of God come upon you.

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.

²¹When the strong [man] fully armed guardeth his own court, his goods are in peace:

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.

²²but when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him his whole armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

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

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

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.'

²⁴The unclean spirit when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and finding none, he saith, I will turn back unto my house whence I came out.

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.

²⁵And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished.

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."

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

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!"

²⁷And it came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou didst suck.

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

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

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.

²⁹And when the multitudes were gathering together unto him, he began to say, This generation is an evil generation: it seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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'.

³³No man, when he hath lighted a lamp, putteth it in a cellar, neither under the bushel, but on the stand, that they which enter in may see the light.

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

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

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

³⁵Look therefore whether the light that is in thee be not darkness.

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

³⁶If therefore thy whole body be full of light, having no part dark, it shall be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining doth give thee light.

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

³⁷Now as he spake, a Pharisee asketh him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

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

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

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.

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

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

⁴⁰Ye foolish ones, did not he that made the outside make the inside also?

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'.

⁴¹But give for alms those things which are within; and behold, all things are clean unto you.

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'.

⁴²But woe unto you Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over justice and the love of God: but these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

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.

⁴³Woe unto you Pharisees! for ye love the chief seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the marketplaces.

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."

⁴⁴Woe unto you! for ye are as the tombs which appear not, and the men that walk over [them] know it not.

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

⁴⁵And one of the lawyers answering saith unto him, Teacher, in saying this thou reproachest us also.

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.

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

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

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

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

⁴⁸So ye are witnesses and consent unto the works of your fathers: for they killed them, and ye build [their tombs].

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'.'

⁴⁹Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send unto them prophets and apostles; and [some] of them they shall kill and persecute;

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

⁵⁰that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may 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.

⁵¹from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary: yea, I say unto you, it shall be required of this generation.

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."

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

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,

⁵³And when he was come out from thence, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press upon [him] vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things;

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

⁵⁴laying wait for him, to catch something out of his mouth.
