1 Un Jys saceja sovim mōceklim: Īļaunōšonu atīšona ir naizbāgama līta, bet bāda tam, caur kuru jōs atīt. 2 Byutu lobōk, jo jam pi kokla pīsītu dzērnovu akmini un īmastu jyurā, na kai kad jys vīnu nu šitim mozajim īļaunōtu.
3 Uzmonit poši sevi. Jo (pret tevi) sagrākōtu tovs brōļs, pōrsorgoj jū. Jo jys nūžālōs, atlaid jam. 4 Un jo septeņas reizes pret tevi sagrākōtu par dīnu un septeņas eizes ītu pi tevis saceitu: Es žāloju, — atlaid jam.
5 Apostoli saceja Kungam: Pavairoj mums ticeibu! 6 Bet Kungs atbiļdēja: Jo jums byutu ticeiba leidz sinepes gryudeņam, tad jyus varātu pavēlēt šytam kūkam: izarauņ nu šenes ar saknem un īsadēsti jyurā; un, bez šaubom, jyusu paklauseitu.
7 Jo kas nu jums, kam ir dēļ dorba vai dēļ gonim kolps, jam atejūt nu teiruma, pasaceitu: Ej tyuleņ un ījem vītu pi golda, 8 bet nasaceitu: Sagatavoj maņ vakareņas, apsajūz un kolpoj maņ, koleidz es paēsšu un padzeršu, un tad varēsi tu ēst un dzert, 9 vai tad jys kolpam lai pasateic, ka tys izpiļdeja jō pavēli? — 10 (Es gōdoju, ka nē). Tai ari jums, pēc izpiļdeišonas vysa tō, kas jums ir lykts, ir jōatsazeist, saceidamim: Mes asam nalīteigi kolpi; kas mums beja jōdora, tikai tū padarejom.
Desmit špitaleigūs.
11 Un nūtyka, ka, ejūt uz Jeruzalemu, Jys gōja pōri storp Semariju un Galileju.
12 Tyvojūtīs vīnai sadžai, Jam aizskrēja prīškā desmit špitaleigu cylvāku, un, nu tōlīnes nūstōjuši, 13 lelā bolsā sauce: Jezu, Mōceitōj, apsažāloj par mums. 14 Jys, tūs īraudzejis, saceja: Ejte un parōdit sevi goreidznīkim. 15 Un nūtyka: Ejūt jī palyka teiri. Un vīns nu tim, radzādams, ka ir palicis vasals, atsagrīze atpakaļ lelā bolsā slaveidams Dīvu, 16 un, pakritis uz vaiga pi Jō kōjom, Jam pasateice. Tys beja samarīts. 17 Bet Jezus jautōja: Vai na desmit ir palykuši teiri? Kur tad ir tī? 18 Vai tad ni vīns vairōk naatsaroda, kas atsagrīztu un Dīvam gūdu atdūtu, kai tik šytys svešinīks? 19 Tad Jys tam saceja: Celīs un ej, tova ticeiba tev paleidzēja.
Dīva vaļsteibas atīšona.
20 Kad farizeji nu Jō vaicōja, kod atīs Dīva vaļsteiba, tad Jys atsasauce un saceja: Dīva vaļsteiba atīt namonūt; 21 narunōs: Raug, jei ir te vai tur; tadei raug, Dīva vaļsteiba ir storp jums.
22 Tad Jys sovim mōceklim saceja: Atīs laiks, kad jyus gribēsit redzēt kaut vīnu Cylvāka Dāla dīnu, bet naredzēsit. 23 Jums gon teiks: Raug (Jys) ir te; raug, — tur. Bet naejit un naskraidit pēc jūs pakaļ. 24 Jo kai zibiņs, kad paspeid, spūdrums izalej nu vīna zemes gola leidz ūtrajam, tai pat nūtiks un ar Cylvāka Dālu Jō dīnā. 25 Bet īprīkš Jam byus daudzi jōcīš un nu šytōs tautas jōbyun atmastam.
26 Kai nūtyka Noesa dīnōs, tai nūtiks Cylvāka Dāla dīnōs: 27 ēde, dzēre, precējōs un gōja pi veira leidz pat tai dīnai, kad Noess īkōpe laivā. Tad atgōja yudiņa plyudi un vysus iznycynōja. 28 Ari Lota laikā tai pat beja: ēde, dzēre, pērka un pōrdeve, strōdōja un byuvēja. 29 Bet tamā dīnā, kad Lots nu Sodomas izgōja, nūkryta guņs ar sāru nu debesim un vysus iznycynōja. 30 Ari tamā dīnā, kad Cylvāka Dāls pasarōdeis, taipat nūtiks. 31 Kas tamā dīnā byus uz jumta, bet jō lītas ustobā, tys lai nakōp zemē jūs pajimtu; un kas ir teirumā, tys tai pat lai nasagrīž atpakaļ. 32 Pīminit par Lota sīvu.
33 Kas pyulēsīs izglōbt sovu dzeiveibu, tys jū pazaudēs; kas jū pazaudēs, tys izglōbs. 34 Es jums soku: jo tamā naktī byus divi vīnā gultā; vīnu pajims leidza, bet ūtrū atstōs. 35 Maļs divejōs pi vīnom dzērnovom; vīnu pajims leidza, bet ūtrū atstōs. 36 (Byus divi teirumā; vīnu pajims, ūtrū atstōs).
37 Jī atsasauce un Jam saceja: Kungs, kur tad? Bet Jys tim atbiļdēja: Kur ir maita, tur sasalosa un ērgli.
Faith and Service
(Matthew 18.6Matthew 7Matthew 21Matthew 22Mark 9.42)1 Jesus said to his disciples:
There will always be something that causes people to sin. But anyone who causes them to sin is in for trouble. A person who causes even one of my little followers to sin 2 would be better off thrown into the ocean with a heavy stone tied around their neck. 3 So be careful what you do.
Correct any followers of mine who sin, and forgive the ones who say they are sorry. 4 Even if one of them mistreats you seven times in one day and says, “I am sorry,” you should still forgive that person.
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Make our faith stronger!”
6 Jesus replied:
If you had faith no bigger than a tiny mustard seed, you could tell this mulberry tree to pull itself up, roots and all, and to plant itself in the ocean. And it would!
7 If your servant comes in from plowing or from taking care of the sheep, would you say, “Welcome! Come on in and have something to eat”? 8 No, you wouldn't say that. You would say, “Prepare me something to eat. Get ready to serve me, so I can have my meal. Then later on you can eat and drink.” 9 Servants don't deserve special thanks for doing what they are supposed to do. 10 And that's how it should be with you. When you've done all you should, then say, “We are merely servants, and we have simply done our duty.”
Ten Men with Leprosy
11 On his way to Jerusalem, Jesus went along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village, ten men with leprosy came toward him. They stood at a distance 13 and shouted, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”
14 Jesus looked at them and said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.”
On their way they were healed. 15 When one of them discovered that he was healed, he came back, shouting praises to God. 16 He bowed down at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. The man was from the country of Samaria.
17 Jesus asked, “Weren't ten men healed? Where are the other nine? 18 Why was this foreigner the only one who came back to thank God?” 19 Then Jesus told the man, “You may get up and go. Your faith has made you well.”
God's Kingdom
(Matthew 24.23-28Matthew 37-41)20 Some Pharisees asked Jesus when God's kingdom would come. He answered, “God's kingdom isn't something you can see. 21 There is no use saying, ‘Look! Here it is’ or ‘Look! There it is.’ God's kingdom is here with you.”
22 Jesus said to his disciples:
The time will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not. 23 When people say to you, “Look there,” or “Look here,” don't go looking for him. 24 The day of the Son of Man will be like lightning flashing across the sky. 25 But first he must suffer terribly and be rejected by the people of today. 26 When the Son of Man comes, things will be just as they were when Noah lived. 27 People were eating, drinking, and getting married right up to the day when Noah went into the big boat. Then the flood came and drowned everyone on earth.
28 When Lot lived, people were also eating and drinking. They were buying, selling, planting, and building. 29 But on the very day Lot left Sodom, fiery flames poured down from the sky and killed everyone. 30 The same will happen on the day when the Son of Man appears.
31 At that time no one on a rooftop should go down into the house to get anything. No one in a field should go back to the house for anything. 32 Remember what happened to Lot's wife.
33 People who try to save their lives will lose them, and those who lose their lives will save them. 34 On that night two people will be sleeping in the same bed, but only one will be taken. The other will be left. 35-36 Two women will be together grinding wheat, but only one will be taken. The other will be left.
37 Then Jesus' disciples spoke up, “But where will this happen, Lord?”
Jesus said, “Where there is a corpse, there will always be vultures.”
