Chapter 17

Six days thereafter Jesus brought [along] Peter and Jacob and John his brother, and led them up into a lofty mountain, they alone. 2 And he was changed before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes were radiant as light. 3 And behold! Moses and Eliah showed themselves [intu, dual] to them, speaking with him. 4 But Peter spoke and said to Jesus: "Lord, [it] is good that we are here. If you wish, I will erect here three tents: one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah." 5 While the words were still in his mouth, behold! a bright cloud overshadowed them, and there was a voice out of the cloud that said: "This is my son, the beloved, of whom I think well; listen to him!" 6 Hearing this, the disiciples fell on their face and were extremely afraid. 7 Then Jesus came near to them, and touching them he said: "Rise, and do not fear." 8 When they raised their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus himself.

9 Tieltasse undu i orontello, Yésus canne tien, quétala: "Áva nyare aiquenen pa i cenie nó i Atanyondo ná ortaina qualinillon."

10 Mal i hildor maquenter: "Tá manen ná i quetir i parmangolmor i Elía maurenen tuluva minyave?" 11 Hanquentasse eques: "Elía é tuluva ar envinyatuva ilye nati. 12 Mal quetin lyenna i Elía utúlie yando sí, ar ualte *atsinte se, mal carner sen ve mernelte. Mi imya lé i Atanyondo perperuva máltanten." 13 Tá i hildor hanyaner i quentes téna pa Yohannes i *Tumyando.

9 On their way down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying: "Do not tell anyone about the sigth [= vision] before the Son of man is raised from the dead."

10 But the disciples asked: "Then how is [it] that the scribes say that Elijah by necessity will come first?" 11 In answer he said: "Elijah will indeed come and will renew all things. 12 But I say to you that Elijah has come even now, and they did not recognize him, but did to him as they wished. In the same manner the Son of Man will suffer at their hands." 13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them about John the Baptist.

14 Ar íre túlelte i şanganna, nér túle senna, lantala occaryanta epe se 15 ar quétala: "Heru, órava yondonyasse, an náse *ránahlaiwa ar nimpa, an lantas rimbave mir i náre ar rimbave mir i nén, 16 ar tulunenyes hildolyannar, mal ualte polle nesta se." 17 Hanquentasse Yésus quente: "Úvoronda ar rícina *nónare, manen andave mauya nin lemya aselde? Manen andave mauya nin cole le? Áse tala ninna!" 18 Tá Yésus carampe tulcave senna, ar i rauco ettúle sello, ar i seldo náne nestaina lúme yanallo.

14 And when they came to the crowd, a man came to him, falling to his knees [dual] before him 15 and saying: "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is moon-sick and ailing, and he falls frequently into the fire and frequently into the water, 16 and I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him." 17 In answer Jesus said: "Unfaithful and twisted generation, how long is it necessary for me to remain with you? How long is it necessary for me to bear you? Bring him to me!" 18 Then Jesus spoke firmly to it, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was healed from that hour.

19 Epeta i hildor túler vérave Yésunna ar quenter: "Manen ná i elme ua polle et-hatitas?" 20 Quentes téna: "Pitya savieldanen. An násie quetin lenna: Qui samilde savie ve erde *sinapio, quetuvalde oron sinanna: Leva silo tar, ar levuvas, ar munta nauva úcárima len. [21]

19 Therafter the disciples came privately to Jesus and said: "How is [it] that we could not throw it out?" 20 He said to them: "Because of your small faith. For truly I say to you: If you have faith like a seed of mustard, you will say to this mountain: Move form here to there, and it will move, and nothing will be impossible to you. [21]

22 When they were gathered in Galilee Jesus said to them: "The Son of Man will be betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised." Therefore they had deep grief.

24 Íre túlelte Capernaumenna, i neri comyala i racma atta túler Péterenna ar quente: "Ma *peantarelda ua paitya i *racma atta?" 25 Quentes: "Caris." Mal íre lendes mir i coa, nó polles quete, Yésus quente: "Mana sanal, Símon? Ho man cemeno arani camir *tungwe hya *rantie? Yondoltallon hya etteleallon?" 26 Íre quentes, "I etteleallon," Yésus quente senna: "Tá i yondor é nar lére. 27 Mal i uangwe caruva te rúşie, alye lelya i earenna, hata ampa, ar á mapa i minya lingwe túlala ama – ar íre latyal antorya, hiruval stater. Á mapa ta ar áten anta nin ar lyen."

24 When they came to Capernaum, the men collecting [lit. gathering] the two dracmas came to Peter and said: "Does not your [pl.] teacher pay the two dracmas?" 25 He said: "He does." But when he went into the house, before he could speak, Jesus said: "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of earth receive tax or tribute? From their sons or from foreigners?" 26 When he said: "From the foreigners," Jesus said to him: "Then the sons are indeed free. 27 But that we will not make them angry, you go to the sea, throw a hook, and take the first fish coming up – and when you open its mouth, you will find a stater. Take that and give it to them for me and for you."

CHAPTER 18

At that time the disciples came near to Jesus and said: "Who really is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" 2 And after he called a small child to himself, he caused it to stand in the middle 3 and said: "Truly I say to you: If you do not find repentance and are like small children, you will by no means come into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, anyone who makes himself lowly like this chind, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven; 5 and anyone who receives a single such child in my name, receives me. 6 But anyone who cases one among these who believe in me, fall – to him it is more beneficial if a millstone was put around his neck, and he was drowned in the deep sea.

7 Horro i marden úsahtieryain! An i úsahtier maurenen tuluvar, man horro i atanen yenen i úsahtie tule! 8 Mal qui málya hya talelya tyára lantelya, ása aucire ar hata sa lyello!

7 Woe to the world for its temptations! For the temptations will by necessity come, but woe to the man by whom the temptation comes! 8 But if your hand or your foot is causing your fall, cut it off and throw it [away] from you! Going lame or maimed [tapta, impeded] into life is to you better than being thrown having two hands or two feet into the eternal fire! 9 And if your eye is causing your fall, tear it out and throw it [away] from you! Going into life having a single eye is to you better than being thrown having two eyes into the fiery Gehenna! 10 See that you [pl.] do not despise anyone among these little ones! For I say to you that their angels in heaven always look at my heavenly Father's face.

11 An i Atanyondo utúlie rehtien ya náne vanwa. 12 Mana sanalde? Qui nér same mámar tuxa ar er mici te ranya, ma uas auta ho i nerte *neterquean i orontissen ar mene cestien i ranyala máma? 13 Ar qui é hirises – násie quetin lenna, pa máma tana samis alasse túra epe ya samis pa i nerte *neterquean i uar aránie. 14 Mi imya lé, menelda Atarinyo indóme ua i erya mici pityar sine nauva vanwa.

11 For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost. 12 What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one among them strays, does he not go away from the ninti-nine on the mountains and goes to seek the straying sheep? 13 And if he does find it – truly I say to you, about that shep he has a joy greater than [that] which he has about the ninety-nine that have not strayed. 14 In the same manner, my heavenly Father's will is not that a single among these little ones will be lost.

15 Ente, qui hánolya úcare, mena ar *tulcarpa senna imbe lyé ar sé erinque. Qui lastas lyenna, eñétiel hánolya. 16 Mal qui uas lasta, á tala aselye er hya atta ambe, an i antonen astarmor atto hya neldeo ilya natto nauva tulcaina. 17 Qui uas lasta túna, queta i ocombenna.

An yasse atta hya nelde nar comyaine mi essenya, tasse ean endaltasse.

15 Furthermore, if your brother sins, go and rebuke him between you and he alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, bring with you one or two others, for by the mouth of two or three witnesses every affair shall be established. 17 If he does not listen to them [dual], speak to the conregation. If he fails to listen to the congregation as well, he is to be to you as a person of the nations or as a tax collector.

18 Truly I say to you, everything that you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and everything that you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I truly say to you: If two among you are of one mind on earth to request something, that will happen for them by my heavenly Father. For where two or thre are gathered in my name, there I am in their midst.

21 Tá Péter túle ar quente senna: "Heru, mana nóte i lúron yar hánonya lerta úcare ninna ar apsenuvan sen? Tenna lúr otso?" Yésus quente senna: "Quetin lyenna, lá tenna lúr otso, mal tenna *otoquean lúr otso! 23 Etta menelo aranie ná ve nér, aran, ye merne same onótie as móliryar. 24 Íre *yestanes i onótie, qúen arwa rohto talention húmi quean náne tulyaina senna. 25 Pan uas sáme fáre paitien sen, herurya canne i mo vacumne se, as verirya ar hínaryar, ar ilqua ya sámes, paitien i rohta. 26 Etta i mól lantane undu ar luhtane epe se, quétala: "Sama cóle nin, ar *nampaityuvan ilqua lyen!" 27 Ápina endaryanna, sana mólo heru lehtane se ar apsenne rohtarya.

21 Then Peter came and said to them: "Lord, what is number of times that my brother may sin against me and I am to forgive him? As far as seven times?" Jesus said to him: "I say to you, not as far as seven times, but as far as seventy times seven! 23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a man, a king, who wished to have a reckoning with his thralls. 24 When he started the reckoning, a person having a debt of ten thousand talents was brought to him. 25 Since he did not have enough to pay him, his lord commanded that one was to sell him, with his wife and his children, and everything that he had, in order to pay the debt. 26 Therefore the thrall fell down and bowed before him, saying: "Have patience with me [nin = for me], and I will pay back everything to you!" 24 Touched to his heart, the lord of that thrall released him and forgave his debt.

28 Mal sana mól *etelende ar hirne quén i hyane mólion, ye sáme rohta lenárion tuxa sen. Ar mápala se, *yestanes quore se, quétala: "Ánin paitya rohtalya!" 29 Tá i hyana mól lantane undu ar arcane sello, quétala: "Sama cóla nin, ar paityuvan lyen!" 30 Mal uas merne, ono lendes ar hantane se mir mando tenna paityumnes rohtarya. 31 Etta, íre i hyane móli cenner ya martane, sámelte núra nyére, ar lendelte ar nyarner herultan ilqua ya náne martienwa. 32 Tá herurya tultane se ar quente senna: "Olca mól, quanda rohtalya apsennen lyen, íre arcanel nillo! 33 Lau tá carumnel mai qui yando lyé óravumne i hyana mólesse ye enge aselye, ve inye antane lyen óravie?" 34 Ar nála rúşea,

28 But that slave went out and found a person of the other slaves, who had a debt of a hundred denarii to him. And seizing him, he began to choke him, saying: "Pay me your debt!" 29 Then the other slave fell down and made request of him, saying: "Have patience with me, and I will pay you!" 30 Therefore, when the other slaves saw [that] which happened, they had deep grief, and they went and told to their lord everything that had happened. 32 Then his lord summoned him and said to him: "Wicked slave, your entire debt I forgave you, when you asked of me! 33 Would you not then do well if you as well would have mercy on the other slave who was with you, as I gave you mercy?" 34 And being angry, his lord gave him over to the jailers, until he was going to pay his entire debt. 35 In the same manner my heavenly Father will also do to you if you do not everyone forgive his brother from your heart."

CHAPTER 19

And after Jesus completed all these words he went away from Galilee and came to the regions of Judea, beyond the Jordan. 2 And great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.

3 And some Pharisees came to him to test him, saying: "May a man divorse [lit. loosen himself from] his wife for every [conceivable] reason?" 4 In answer he said: "Did you not read that he who created them, from the beginning made them male and female and said: 'For this reason a man will abandon his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and they [dual] will be one flesh'? Thus they [dual] are no more two, but one flesh. Therefore, [that] which God has put under one yoke, do not let man separate." 7 They said to him: "Then how is [it] that Moses commanded that one is to give her a writing of divoce [aumentie, away-sending] and is to put her away?" 8 He said to them: "Because of your hard heart Moses allowed that you may divorce [lit. loosen yourselves from] your wifes, but it was not so from the beginning. 9 And I say to you: Anyone who divorces his wife except because of fornication, and gets married to another, breaks marriage."

10 I hildor quenter senna: "Qui ea sie pa veru yo veri, vestale ua aşea." 11 Quentes téna: "Illi uar pole came i quetie, mal té erinque i samir i anna. 12 An ear *vielórali i náner nóne sie amillelto mónallo, ar ear *vielórali i náner cárine *vielórali lo atani, ar ear *vielórali i acárier inte *vielórali menelo aranie márien.

13 Tá hínali náner talaine senna, panieryan máryat tesse ar hyameryan tien, mal i hildor naityaner te. 14 Mal Yésus quente: "Lava i hínin tule, ar ávate pusta tuliello ninna, an menelo aranie ná taitiva." 15 Ar panyanes máryat tesse ar oante talo.

10 The disciples said to him: "If it is so concerning husband and wife, marriage is not beneficial." 11 He said to them: "All cannot receive the saying, but they alone that have the gift. 12 For there are some eunuchs [*vielórali = penis-less ones] that were born so from their mother's womb, and there are some eunuchs that were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs that have have made themselves eunuchs for the good of the kingdom of heaven. Let [the one] that can receive it, receive it!"

13 Then children were brought to him, for him to put his hands on them and for him to pray for them, but the disciples rebuked them. [Naitya- = abuse, put to shame.] 14 But Jesus said: "Let the children come, and do not stop them from coming to me, for the kingdom of heaven is of [= belongs to] suchlike ones." 15 And he put his hands on them and went away from there.

16 Ar yé! quén túle senna ar quente: "*Peantar, mana i márie ya mauya nin care camien oira coivie?" 17 Quentes senna: "Manen ná i maquetil ní pa márie? Ea er ye ná mára. Mal qui meril mene mir coivie, á himya i axani." 18 Quentes senna: "Mana nalte?" Yésus hanquente: "Ávalye nahta, ávalye pile, ávalye quete húrala *vettie, 19 alye anta alcar atarelyan ar amillelyan, ar mela armarolya ve imle." 20 I nessa nér quente senna: "Ihímien ilye axani sine; mana en penin?" 21 Yésus quente senna: "Qui meril náve ilvana, mena ar vaca armalyar ar átai anta i penyain, ar camuval harma menelde; tá tula ar áni hilya." 22 Íre i nessa nér hlasse ta, oantes nyéresse, an sámes rimbe armali.

23 Mal Yésus quente hildoryannar: "Násie quetin lenna i nauva urda lára quenen tule mir menelo aranie. 24 Ata quetin lenna: Ulumpen menie ter nelmo assa ná *aşcarna epe tulie mir Eruo aranie lára quenen!"

16 And behold, one came to him and said: "Teacher, what is the good that it is necessary for me to do in order to receive eternal life?" 17 He said to him: "How is [it] that you ask me about goodness? There exists one whois good. But if you want to go into life, keep the commandments." 18 He said to him: "What are they?" Jesus answered: "You shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not speak a lying witness, 19 you shall give glory to your father and to your mother, and love your neighbour as yourself." 20 The young man said to him: "I have kept all these commandments; what do I still lack?" 21 Jesus said to him: "If you want to be perfect, go and sell your goods and give them to the poor, and you will receive a treasure in heaven; then come and follow me." 22 When the young man heard that, he went away in grief, for he had numerous goods.

23 But Jesus said to his disciples: "Truly I say to you that it will be difficult for a rich person to come into the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I say to you: For a camel to go through a needle's eye [assa = hole] is easier than coming into God's kingdom for a rich person.

25 Íre i hildor hlasser ta, anelte quátine túra elmendanen, quétala: "Man pole náve rehtaina?" 26 Yétala te, Yésus quente: "Atanin nas úcárima, mal Erun ilye nati nar cárime."

27 Tá Péter carampe, quétala: "Yé, ehehtielme ilqua ar ihílier lyé. Mana, nanwave, euva men?" 28 Yésus quente téna: "Násie quetin lenna: I *enontiesse, íre i Atanyondo hamuva undu alcarinqua mahalmaryanna, lé i ihílier ni yando hamuvar mahalassen yunque, námala Israélo nossi yunque. 28 Ar ilquen ye oantie ho coar hya hánor hya néşar hya restar castanen essenyo, camuva rimbe lúli amba ar nauva aryon oira coiviéno. 29 Mal rimbali i nar minye nauvar métime, ar i métimar, minye.

25 When the disciples heart that, they wre filled with great wonder, saying: "Who can be saved?" 26 Looking at them, Jesus said: "To men it is impossible, but to God all things are possible."

27 Then Peter spoke, saying: "Behold, we have abandoned everything and have followed you. What, really, will there be for us?" 28 Jesus said to them: "Truly I say to you: In the resurrection, when the Son of Man shall sit down upon his glorious throne, you that have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging Israel's twelve tribes. 28 And everyone who has gone away from houses or brothers or sisters or fields by reason of my name, will receive many times more and will be heir to eternal life. 29 But numerous ones that are first will be last, and the last, first.
