¹Kahudu-na Yesus mpotudui' ana'guru-na to hampulu' rodua, hilou-imi metudui' pai' mpopalele Kareba Lompe' hi rala ngata-ngata to mohu'.

¹It happened that when Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.

²Nto'u toe, Yohanes Topeniu' bula-na ratarungku'. Na'epe Yohanes napa to napobago Kristus. Toe pai' nahubui ba hangkuja dua topetuku' -na hilou hi Yesus mpekune' -i hewa toi:

²Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples

³"Ba Iko mpu'u-midi Magau' Topetolo' to najanci Alata'ala-e, ba ria-pidi to ntani' -na to kipopea?" Hilou mpu'u-ramo mpoparata pompekunea' Yohanes toe hi Yesus.

³and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”

⁴Kana'epe-na Yesus pompekunea' toe, na'uli' -raka suro toera: "Nculii' -mokoi, uli' -ki retu hawe'ea napa to ni'epe pai' to nihilo:

⁴Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:

⁵To wero pehilo-mi, to kejo momako' monoa' -mi, topohaki' poko' mo'uri', to wongo pe'epe, tomate kupotuwu' nculii', pai' Kareba Lompe' kuparata-mi hi tauna to mpe'ahii' tuwu' -ra.

⁵ the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, Isaiah 35:5 the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. Isaiah 61:1-4

⁶Marasi' -ra tauna to uma morara' nono-ra hi Aku'."

⁶ Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”

⁷Kanculii' -ra suro Yohanes Topeniu' toera, mololita-imi Yesus hi ntodea, mpotompo'wiwi Yohanes. Na'uli': "Napa patuju-ni hilou mpohirua' -ki Yohanes hi tana' to wao'? Ba doko' -koi mpohilo tauna to morara' nono-na, to hewa pimpi to nawui ngolu' molue hilou tumai? Uma-hawo, apa' uma hewa toe kehi-na Yohanes.

⁷As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

⁸Jadi', hilou doko' mpohilo napa-dikoie? Ba doko' mpohilo tauna to ncola pohea-na? Uma wo'o-hawo, apa' tauna to ncola pohea-ra, hi tomi magau' -ra-wadi-hana.

⁸ But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in king’s houses.

⁹Jadi', hilou doko' mpohilo napa-dikoie? Ba doko' mpohilo nabi-dikoi? Ane tetu, makono lia. Apa' Yohanes tetui meliu ngkai nabi to ntani' -na.

⁹ But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.

¹⁰Apa' hi'a tetu-mi to mporodo nono-ra ntodea mpotarima-a, hewa to te'uki' hi rala Buku Tomoroli' owi. Na'uli' Alata'ala: `Hi'a toi-mi suro-ku, kuhubui-i meri'ulu ngkai Iko, bona mporodo ohea-nu.'"

¹⁰ For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’ Malachi 3:1

¹¹Na'uli' wo'o-mi Yesus: "Mpu'u ku'uli' -kokoi: ngkai hawe'ea tauna to putu hi dunia' toi, uma ria haduaa to meliu kabohe tuwu' -na ngkai Yohanes Topeniu'. Aga ngkai wae lau, marasi' mpu'u-ra tauna to jadi' ntodea-na Alata'ala hi rala Kamagaua' -na. Nau' to kedi' lia tuwu' -ra, meliu kamarasi' -ra ngkai Yohanes.

¹¹ Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.

¹²Ngkai lomo' pobago-na Yohanes Topeniu' rata hi tempo toi, tauna to dada'a mpohuduwukui mpo'ewa topetuku' Alata'ala doko' mpokuasai-ra.

¹² From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. or, plunder it.

¹³Ngkai nabi-nabi owi duu' hi Yohanes tempo toi, hawe'ea nabi pai' Atura Musa mpolowa napa to kana jadi'.

¹³ For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

¹⁴Ria nabi owi to mpolowa karata-na nculii' nabi Elia. Jadi', ane dota nipangala', Yohanes toe-mile nabi Elia to ralowa owi-e.

¹⁴ If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.

¹⁵Hema to tilingaa, pe'epei lompe'!

¹⁵ He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁶"Uma mowo tauna to tuwu' tempo toi! Toi-mi lolita rapa' -ku to kurapai' -raka. Hira' hewa ana' to mohura hi wiwi' karajaa to mpobawai ema' -ra,

¹⁶ “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions

¹⁷ra'uli': `Kibawai-koi molalowe, uma-koi dota goe' dohe-kai. Kibawai-koi motantangi', uma wo'o-koi dota geo' dohe-kai.'

¹⁷ and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’

¹⁸Batua-na: Yohanes Topeniu' uma rapokonoi, Aku' wo'o uma rapokonoi. Katumai-na Yohanes, mopuasa' -i pai' uma-i nginu to melanguhi. Rapoka'oja' -i, ra'uli': `Kahawia' -i-hanale!'

¹⁸ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’

¹⁹Hiaa' katumai-ku Aku' Ana' Manusia', nginu-a pai' ngkoni' -a. Rapoka'oja' wo'o-a-wadi, ra'uli': `Hilo-i! Tojampa, topalangu-langu, bale-ra topesingara' paja' pai' doo-ra topojeko'!' Aga nau' wae, ta'inca kamonoto-na patuju Alata'ala ane tanaa gau' topetuku' -na."

¹⁹ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children. NU reads “actions” instead of “children” ”

²⁰Ngkai ree, Yesus mpokamaro to Yahudi to mo'oha' hi ngata-ngata hi tana' Galilea, apa' nau' jau moto-mi nababehi anu mekoncehi hi ngata-ra, uma oa' -ra medea ngkai kehi-ra to dada'a.

²⁰Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.

²¹Na'uli' Yesus: "Silaka-koi to Korazim pai' to Betsaida! Wori' moto-mi tanda mekoncehi kubabehi hi ngata-ni, aga uma oa' -koi medea ngkai jeko' -ni. Ane rapa' -na tanda mekoncehi toe rababehi hi rala ngata Tirus pai' Sidon, ke mahae-ramo-rana medea ngkai jeko' -ra, nau' bela-ra to Yahudi. Ke mpo'ala' karu' -ramo rapohea, pai' mpohawui' woto-ra hante awu, tanda kasoho' nono-ra.

²¹ “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

²²Jadi', bona ni'inca: hi Eo Kiama mpai', meliu-pi pehuku' -na Alata'ala hi koi' ngkai pehuku' -na hi to Tirus pai' to Sidon.

²² But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

²³"Pai' koi' wo'o to Kapernaum! Ha ni'uli' -koina wae, na'ongko' napomolangko-koi mpai' Alata'ala-e? Uma-e'! Natadi pai' nahuku' lau-dakoi mpai'. Ane rapa' -na tanda mekoncehi to kubabehi hi ngata-ni tetu rababehi owi hi ngata Sodom, ke uma-hawo nakero Alata'ala, ke ria-pidi ngata toe duu' hewa toe-e lau.

²³ You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. or, Hell For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until this day.

²⁴Jadi', bona ni'inca: hi Eo Kiama mpai' meliu-pi pehuku' -na Alata'ala hi koi' ngkai pehuku' -na hi to Sodom owi."

²⁴ But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, on the day of judgment, than for you.”

²⁵Nto'u toe, Yesus mosampaya, na'uli': "O Mama, Pue' langi' pai' dunia'! Mpo'uli' -a tarima kasi, apa' hawe'ea toe lau nupopohiloi-raka tauna to uma pe'incai, tapi' nuwunii' -raka tauna to nginca pai' tauna to pante,

²⁵At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.

²⁶apa' wae-mi konoa-nu Mama.

²⁶ Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.

²⁷"Hawe'ea-na natonu-maka Tuama-ku. Uma ria haduaa to mpo'incai-a, Aku' Ana' Alata'ala, muntu' Tuama-ku to mpo'inca-a. Wae wo'o uma ria to mpo'incai-i Tuama-ku, muntu' Aku' Ana' -na to mpo'inca-i, pai' hema-hema to kupopo'incai kahema-nai Tuama-ku.

²⁷ All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.

²⁸"Mai-mokoi omea to lenge', pai' to motomo kinolo-ni, Aku' moto mpobole kinolo-ni.

²⁸ “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

²⁹Kolo-mi kinolo to kupopokoloi-kokoi, pai' mpopetudui' -koi hi Aku', nirata moto mpai' kalompea' tuwu' kao' -ni. Apa' mo'olu-a pai' dingki' nono-ku.

²⁹ Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.

³⁰Hawa' -ku uma mokoro, pai' kinolo to kupopokoloi-kokoi monangko' -wadi."

³⁰ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
