Luka 10
1 Nene, nkon kubi Cikilari fere annit akut kuzor, ato nani nababa ido ubun mye nigbire nin niti nanga na amye dinin su nduwe.
After this, the Master appointed seventy-two other disciples, and sent them on as his Messengers, two and two, in advance, to every town and place that he was himself intending to visit.
2 A woro nani, “Ugirbe karin, anan katuwa yita cing. Bara nani nta munu sun nlirang, Cikilaringirbi nan kpina anan ngirbe ku.
“The harvest,” he said, “is abundant, but the labourers are few. Therefore pray to the Owner of the harvest to send labourers to gather in his harvest.
3 Caan munu ntomunu nafo akam nanya ninyonyo,
Now, go. Remember, I am sending you out as my Messengers like lambs among wolves.
4 Na iwa yaun nkka nikurfun ba, sa nkkan ncin ba, sa akwatak, na iwa su ilip libau ba.
Do not take a purse with you, or a bag, or sandals; and do not stop to greet any one on your journey.
5 Nanya vat kilari ka na ipira, nin cizine woro, 'Nsheu so nanya kilari kane.'
Whatever house you go to stay at, begin by praying for a blessing on it.
6 Asa unan kibinai kisheu duku, nsheu mine ba so nanghe, andi na aduku ba, nshew mine ba kpilu kiti mine.
Then, if any one there is deserving of a blessing, your blessing will rest upon him; but if not, it will come back upon yourselves.
7 Soon nanya kilari kani, ilii iso ile imon na ina mune, bara unan kauwa nbatina aseru uduk mine na iwa dortu niliri ba.
Remain at that same house, and eat and drink whatever they offer you; for the worker is worth his wages. Do not keep changing from one house to another.
8 Vat kagbir ka na ipira, asa isere munu leo vat nile imon na inna munu,
Whatever town you visit, if the people welcome you, eat what is set before you;
9 shinon nin na tikonu, iworo nani, 'kipin tigo Kutelle di susut nanghinu.
cure the sick there, and tell people ‘The Kingdom of God is close at hand.
10 Bara vat nanya kagbir ka na ipira asa na isere munu ba, nuzun nanya tibau mine iworo,
But, whatever town you go to visit, if the people do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say
11 'Vat lidau kagbir mine na litafina nabunu bite, ti wese kiti mine, bara yinnon kipin tigo Kutelle nda susut nanghinu.'
‘We wipe off the very dust of your town which has clung to Our feet; still, be assured that the Kingdom of God is close at Hand.’
12 Meng nworo munu, uwui nwucu kidegen, nbati ayi asheu nin Sodom nanin kipin kane.
I tell you that the doom of Sodom will be more bearable on ‘That Day’ than the doom of that town.
13 Kash Korasinu! Kash Batsaida! Dafo umon izikiki ile na ina su kiti mine nda innere inasu ntaya nin Sidon iwa su udiu kutyin, iwa shonu imon tiyom iso nanya ntong.
Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! For, if the Miracles which have been done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have sat in sackcloth and ashes and repented long ago.
14 Bara nbati ayi asheu nin ntaya nin Sidon au na anug ba.
Yet the doom of Tyre and Sidon will be more bearable at the Judgment than yours.
15 Anung anan Kafarnahum idin kpilizu iba ghantin munu kitene kane? Nani ba iba da nin ghinu udu kuwu nlah sa ligan. (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum! Will you ‘exalt yourself to heaven’? ‘You shall go down to the Place of Death.’ (Hadēs g86)
16 Ule na alanza munu, alanza menku, ule na anari munu anari menku, anari ule na ana tiiyi.
He who listens to you is listening to me, and he who rejects you is rejecting me; while he who rejects me is rejecting him who sent me as his Messenger.”
17 Anit akut kuzor ane saa nin liburi libo, agbergenu nna nari atimine nanya lisafe.
When the seventy-two returned, they exclaimed joyfully: “Master, even the demons submit to us when we use your name.”
18 Yesu woro nani, “Nwandi nyenju sheitan wa diu kitene kani nafo ummali nu kiti.
And Jesus replied: “I have had visions of Satan, fallen, like lightning from the heavens.
19 Yenen, ina na munu likara, ipatilu iyii nan ninang, nan vat nakarra na nan nivira mine, na imomon ba lanzu munu ukul ba.
Remember, I have given you the power to ‘trample upon serpents and scorpions,’ and to meet all the strength of the Enemy. Nothing shall ever harm you in any way.
20 Vat nani na iwa su, liburi liboo bara nani cas ba, nworu tiruhu nna atimine kiti mine ba, suun liburi libo inyertinee ti sa mine kitene kani.”
Yet do not rejoice in the fact that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names have been enrolled in Heaven.”
21 Nanya kubi kurum, asu liburu libo nanya Nruhu Ulau, “Nzazin fi Ucif nigh, Cikilarikitene nin kutyin bara unyeshe ile imone kiti ni najinjin anan yiru, umini npuno kiti nalenge na ina dursuzo nani ba, ni nono nibebene, nanere Ucif nigh, ucaun nanya nyenu fe.”
At that same time, moved to exultation by the Holy Spirit, Jesus said: “I thank thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that, though thou hast hidden these things from the wise and learned, thou hast revealed them to the childlike! Yes, Father, I thank thee that this has seemed good to thee.
22 “Vat nimon Ucif nighe na niy, na umon yiru gone ba, Ucife, na umon yiru Ucife ba se gone, vat nle na gone nyinna aba dursu ghe liti mye.”
Everything has been committed to me by my Father; nor does any one know who the Son is, except the Father, or who the Father is, except the Son and those to whom the Son may choose to reveal him.”
23 Na agitirno kiti nono katuwa mye a woro kusari, “Anan nmariari alenge na idin yenju ile imon na anug nyene.
Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said to them alone: “Blessed are the eyes that see what you are seeing;
24 Meng woro munu gbardang na nan nliru nin nnu Kutelle nan nago din piziru iyene ile imon na anung na yene na iyene inin ba, Ukuru ilanza ile imon na anung na lanza, na ilanza ba.”
for, I tell you, many Prophets and Kings wished for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never heard them.”
25 Nani umon unan ndursuzu nduka na Yahuduwa, dumunghe a woro, “Unan nyiru iyaghari nba su inan se ulai sa ligan?” (aiōnios g166)
Just then a Student of the Law came forward to test Jesus further. “Teacher,” he said, “what must I do if I am to ‘gain Immortal Life’?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Yesu woroghe, “Iyaghari di nanya ninyerte nduke?”
“What is said in the Law?” answered Jesus. “What do you read there?”
27 Akawa awooro, “Ubati usu Ncikilari Kutelle fe, nin vat nlaife inin vat likara fen nin kibinai fe, nin ndindin lisosin kupofe nafo liti fe.”
His reply was — “‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thou dost thyself.’”
28 Yesu kawa a woroghe, “Ubelle dert, su nani unan so.”
“You have answered right,” said Jesus; “do that, and you shall live.”
29 Ame unan yiru ninyerte dinin su a durso liti mye, a woro Yesu ku, “Ghari udondon kupo nighe?”
But the man, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus: “And who is my neighbour?”
30 Nkawe Yesu woroghe, “Umon unit wa nuzu Nurushelima udu Ujariko apira nacara nakiri, ifoghe icinghe fal.
To which Jesus replied: “A man was once going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him of everything, and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead.
31 Nanya kube umon upirist dofino libau we, n ayene a raffa likot akata nkon kusari.
As it chanced, a priest was going down by that road. He saw the man, but passed by on the opposite side.
32 Nani tutung nkon kuliviyawa da kitene ayene ghe, akuru ayira nkon kusari akata.
A Levite, too, did the same; he came up to the spot, but, when he saw the man, passed by on the opposite side.
33 Nkon ku Samariyawa di ncin mye ada kiti nkunekune mye.
But a Samaritan, traveling that way, came upon the man, and, when he saw him, he was moved with compassion.
34 Ada kupo mye atece ghe annute, atintio ghe nnufu ku, a tarda ghe kitene kajaki mye, ada ninghe kilari namara, amin ghe gegeme.
He went to him and bound up his wounds, dressing them with oil and wine, and then put him on his own mule, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 Ukurtunu nkuiye, ayira isule iba anah unan kitene aworoghe, 'Mini ame gegeme, ndo ndak, vat nile imon na Uwutuno mba biufi.'
The next day he took out four shillings and gave them to the inn-keeper. ‘Take care of him,’ he said, ‘and whatever more you may spend I will myself repay you on my way back.’
36 Uyemeri nanya na watat ale udin yenju adi udondon lisosin kiti nle na awa piru a cara nakire?”
Now which, do you think, of these three men,” asked Jesus, “proved himself a neighbour to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?”
37 Unan yure woro, “Ulange na awa lanza ukunekune.” Yesu woroghe, “Can udi su nani.”
“The one that took pity on him,” was the answer; on which Jesus said: “Go and do the same yourself.”
38 Nene ikiffo ucin, ipira nkan kagbir umon uwani lisa mye Marta taa ghe mahabi, ada ninghe kilari mye.
As they continued their journey, Jesus came to a village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him to her house.
39 Ayita nin gwana kishono lisa mye Maryamu, aso nabunu Ncikilari adin nlanzu nliru mye.
She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Master’s feet, and listened to his teaching;
40 Ame Marta yita nijasi likanju nimoli ado aworo Yesu ku, “Cikilari na fe nyene gwana ninghe ncini likanje usanin ba? Bara nani belinghe ada buuni.”
but Martha was distracted by the many preparations that she was making. So she went up to Jesus and said: “Master, do you approve of my sister’s leaving me to make preparations alone? Tell her to help me.”
41 Ame Cikilari kawa a woro ghe, “Marta, Marta, fe ndama nin nimon gbardang.
“Martha, Martha,” replied the Master, “you are anxious and trouble yourself about many things;
42 Imon irumari cas icine. Maryamu nfere imon icine ile na umon ba bollu kiti mye ba.”
but only a few are necessary, or rather one. Mary has chosen the good part, and it shall not be taken away from her.”
