Luka 11
1 Na amala nliran nkan kiti, umon nanya nono kadura mye woro, “Cikilari, dursuzo nari usunn nliran nafo na Yohanna wa dursuzo nono kadura mye.”
At one place where He was praying, when He rose from His knees one of His disciples said to Him, "Master, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."
2 Yesu woro nani, “Kubi na iba su nliran woron, 'Ucif na lisafe so lau. Na kipin tigo fe dak.
So He said to them, "When you pray, say, 'Father may Thy name be kept holy; let Thy Kingdom come;
3 Na nari imonli nkolome liyiri.
give us day after day our bread for the day;
4 Shawa nin nalapi bite, nafo na arike din shawuzu nin nalenge na isu nari alapi. Na uwa do ninghirik kiti ndumuzunu ba.'”
and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive every one who fails in his duty to us; and bring us not into temptation.'"
5 Yesu woro nani, “ghari nanya mine dimun ndondon, amin ndo kiti mye nin kiyitik, a bellinghe, 'Udon nigh nei ure nakalan nfon gol atat,
And He said to them, "Which of you shall have a friend and shall go to him in the middle of the night and say, "'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread;
6 umong udon nigh worin ndak unuzu ncin, na ndinin nile imon na nba nighe ba.'
for a friend of mine has just come to my house from a distance, and I have nothing for him to eat'?
7 Ame ulele nanye ba kawughe, na uwa damei ba, nmal tursu kibulung, meng nan nono nmall noo, nwasu nfita nnafi ufungul ba.
"And he from indoors shall answer, "'Do not pester me. The door is now barred, and I am here in bed with my children. I cannot get up and give you bread.'
8 Meng nbellin munu, ko na aba fitu a nighe ufungule ba bara fe udon mere, bara uciu kibinai fe nin salin nlanzu ncing, aba fitu anifi ile imon na udinin su we gbardang.
"I tell you that even if he will not rise and give him the loaves because he is his friend, at any rate because of his persistency he will rouse himself and give him as many as he requires.
9 Meng tutun nbellin munu, tirinon iba nii munu, piziran iba se, reyon kibulu aba punu, munu mun.
"So I say to you, 'Ask, and what you ask for shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.'
10 Bara vat nle na atirino aba seru, unan piziru ba se unan nrizu kibulun iba punghe mun.
For every one who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, the door shall be opened.
11 Ghari nanya mine ulenge na adi ikifi gono mye ntiringhe ufungul aba nighe litala, sa fibo anaghe fiyii ya?
And what father is there among you, who, if his son asks for a slice of bread, will offer him a stone? or if he asks for a fish, will instead of a fish offer him a snake?
12 Sa atirin likpai, ana naghe finagha?
or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion?
13 Bara nani anung na idi anan maggunta, iyiruufilizinu nimmon icine kiti nono mine, iyaghari ngbardang na ucif mine kitene kani ba nii Uruhu Ulau nale na itiringhe?”
If you then, with all your human frailty, know how to give your children gifts that are good for them, how much more certainly will your Father who is in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
14 Nin kidughee, Yesu wa di nutuzunu nagbergenu, nan naturi, uso kubi nna agbergenu wa nuzu, unit uture lirina, ligozi nanit kiffo tinu!
On once occasion He was expelling a dumb demon; and when the demon was gone out the dumb man could speak, and the people were astonished.
15 Among nanya nanite woro, “Nin Bazelbula, ugo nagbergenu adin nutuzunu agbergenu.”
But some among them said, "It is by the power of Baal-zebul, the Prince of the demons, that he expels the demons."
16 Among dumunghe idin piziru nalama unuzu kitene kani.
Others, to put Him to the test, asked Him for a sign in the sky.
17 Yesu yinno ukpilizu mine, a woro nani, “Vat tigo tongo na tidi nivira nati mine ti ba so hem, Kilari ka na kidi nivira nati mine kiba di.
And, knowing their thoughts, He said to them, "Every kingdom in which civil war rages goes to ruin: family attacks family and is overthrown.
18 Asa Sheitan di nivira nin liti mye Iyiziyari tigo mye ba yisina? Bara anung nworo ndin nutuzunu agbergenu nin Balzebul.
And if Satan really has engaged in fierce conflict with himself, how shall his kingdom stand?--because you say that I expel demons by the power of Baal-zebul.
19 Andi ndin nutuzunu agbergenu nin Balzebul, nin iyanghari anan dortu din nutuzunu muna? Bara nani inung ba so munu anan sharaa.
And if it is by the power of Baal-zebul that I expel the demons, by whom do your disciples expel them? They therefore shall be your judges.
20 Ama asa ndin nutuzunu agbergenu nin liyicin Kutelle, kipin tigo Kutelle nda kiti mine.
But if it is by the power of God that I drive out the demons, it is evident that the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
21 Kubi na unan likara, kullun nin na soja idin ncaa kilari mye, imon mye ba so cai,
"Whenever a strong man, fully armed and equipped, is guarding his own castle, he enjoys peaceful possession of his property;
22 bara kubi ba unan likara nsu inasara a bollo imon likum kit nnite, aba pitirinu imon nacara nnit une.
but as soon as another stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away that complete armour of his in which he trusted, and distributes the plunder he has collected.
23 Ulenge na adi nin mye ba, adi nivira nin mye ame ulenge na apitirno nin mye ba ashagilina.
Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever is not gathering with me is scattering abroad.
24 Kubi kongo na uruhu inanzang nnuzu kiti nnit, asa akatiza kiti nmyen, adin piziru nshinu, asa na ase ba, a woro, 'Nba kpillu kilari kanga na nna nuzu ku.'
"When a foul spirit has left a man, it roams about in the Desert, seeking a resting-place; but, unable to find any, it says, 'I will return to the house I have left;"
25 Na akpilla, aba se kilari ikuzu kinin inin ceo kinin gegeme.
and when it comes, it finds the house swept clean and in good order.
26 Aba nuzu adi yiru nton tiruhu kuzor, tongo nati katinghe nin magunta, vat mine ba dak ida so kikane, imali lisosin nnit une ba katinu uburne nin nanzang.
Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more malignant than itself, and they enter and dwell there; and in the end that man's condition becomes worse than it was at first.
27 Uso kubi na abelle ileli Imone vat, umon uwani ghantina liwui mye nbun ligozi nanit, a woro, “Nmarari liburi longo na lina marufi, nin nayazin ale na una mazin ku.”
As He thus spoke a woman in the crowd called out in a loud voice, "Blessed is the mother who carried you, and the breasts that you have sucked."
28 Bara nani ame woro, “Anan nmariari alenge na idin lanzu tugbulan Kutelle, inani myin tinin.”
"Nay rather," He replied, "they are blessed who hear God's Message and carefully keep it."
29 Na ligozi din pitiru anit gbardang, acizina ubellu, ko kuje, kuji magunta ri, idin piziru alama, na amon duku alenge na iba nii nani ba, se an Yunana.
Now when the crowds came thronging upon Him, He proceeded to say, "The present generation is a wicked generation: it requires some sign, but no sign shall be given to it except that of Jonah.
30 Nafo na Yunana wa da so alama udu uniniva, nanere tutun gono nnit, ba so alama kiti nko kuje.
For just as Jonah became a sign to the men of Nineveh, so the Son of Man will be a token to the present generation.
31 Uwani ngo Kusari nkudu ba fitu liyiri nwucu kidegen nin nanilime nko kuje ati nani iso anan nca nkul, bara awa duk unuzu nimalin kutyin ada lanza uyiru Solomon, ayene ulenge na akatin Solomon ku kikane.
The Queen of the South will awake at the Judgement together with the men of the present generation, and will condemn them; because she came from the extremity of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; but mark! One greater than Solomon is here.
32 Nanilime Nninniva ba yisinu liri wucu kidegen, nin nanit kuji kone, iba ti nani iso anan ncaa nkul, bara iwa diu kutyin nin wazi yunana, yene umon duku, akatin Yunana ku adi kikane.
There will stand up men of Nineveh at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and mark! One greater than Jonah is here.
33 Na umong duku ulenge na aba ti ulah npitila a nyeshe unin ba, sa kadas kukuzun, se kitene kiti ncise bara alenge na iba piru iyene nkanang.
"When any one lights a lamp, he never puts it in the cellar or under the bushel, but on the lampstand, that people who come in may see the light.
34 Iyizife nnert upitila kiddowo fe ba kullu nin kanag, andi iyizi caun ba, to kidowo fe ba kulu nin Sirti.
The lamp of the body is the eye. When your eyesight is good, your whole body also is lighted up; but when it is defective, your body is darkened.
35 Bara nani su seng, nkanang nanya fe na nsirtiyari ba.
Consider therefore whether the light that is in you is anything but mere darkness.
36 Asa nanere, kidowo fe kulun nin nkanang, na nkan kiti di nsirti ba, vat kidowo fe ba so nafo uputila a udin kassu, aba tifi nkanang.”
If, however, your whole body is penetrated with light, and has no part dark, it will be so lighted, all of it, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light."
37 Kubi na amala utiru, ku Farisiyawa bellinghe au idi lii imonli kilari mye, Yesu do adi lii imonle.
When He had thus spoken, a Pharisee invited Him to breakfast at his house; so He entered and took His place at table.
38 Kunin Kufarisiya su amamaki nworu atina nlw sa ukusu nacara.
Now the Pharisee saw to his surprise that He did not wash His hands before breakfasting.
39 Ame Cikilari woroghe, “Anung a Farisiyawa, asa ikusu mamal nkop nin kishik, nanya mine kulun nin ucuci a magunta.
The Master however said to him, "Here we see how you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup or plate, while your secret hearts are full of greed and selfishness.
40 Anung anan sali nati! Na ulenge na ana ke udase, amere na ke nanye ba?
Foolish men! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?
41 na anan sali nimon ile imon na idi nanye, vat nimone bati lau.
But as to what is within, give alms, and instantly all is clean in you.
42 Bara nani, kash, anung Afarisiyawa bara idin nizu uzakka nimon kunen vat, inani nsuna imon icine nin su Kutelle. Uso lellei tisu gegeme nin nsu, na tiwa dira usu kagisin nimon ba tutun.
"But alas for you Pharisees! for you pay tithes on your mint and rue and every kind of garden vegetable, and are indifferent to justice and the love of God. These are the things you ought to have attended to, while not neglecting the others.
43 Kash anung Afarisiyawa, idinin su lisosin nbun, nanya nkasssa we.
Alas for you Pharisees! for you love the best seats in the synagogues, and you like to be bowed to in places of public resort.
44 Kash udu kiti mine, idi nafo nissek nanga na idin yenju ba anit sa ipalila sa uyiru mine.”
Alas for you! for you are like the tombs which lie hidden, and the people who walk over them are not aware of their existence."
45 Umong unan yiru nanya nduka Nayahudawa kauwa aworoghe, “Unan yira ile imon na ubelle tigozori kiti bite.”
Hereupon one of the expounders of the Law exclaimed, "Rabbi, in saying such things you reproach us also."
46 Yesu woroghe, “Kash anung anan nyiru nduka! Bara asa anung na anit kutura gbardang kun nijasin in yauna, anung ba dudu kutura kone nin tiyicin mine ba.
"Alas too for you expounders of the Law!" replied Jesus, "for you load men with cumbrous burdens which you yourselves will not touch with one of your fingers.
47 Kash udu kiti mine, anun din ke niti nlizinu nin na nan nliru nin nnu Kutelle, alenge na acif mine wa mollusu nani.
Alas for you! for you repair the tombs of the Prophets, whom your forefathers killed.
48 Bara anung iyizi inbari, iyinna nin katuwa nacif mine, bara inughere wa molusu anan nliru nin nuu Kutelle, ina ke nisek mine, inan lizino mung.
It follows that you bear testimony to the actions of your forefathers and that you fully approve thereof. They slew, you build.
49 Bara nanere tutun uyiru Kutelle a woro, 'Nba tuu nani, anan nliru nin nuu Kutelle, nin na nan kadura, ibati nani ineo, imolsu amon mine.'
"For this reason also the Wisdom of God has said, 'I will send Prophets and Apostles to them, of whom they will kill some and persecute others,'
50 Ko kuje, inughere ba yaunu uhaki nmyi nanan nliru nin nnuu Kutelle mongo na iwa gutun, tun uburnu inye,
so that the blood of all the Prophets, that is being shed from the creation of the world onwards, may be required from the present generation.
51 Unuzu nmyi Habila udu Zakariya ule iwa mulu kiyitik nbagadi nin kilari nliran, nanere nworo munu ko kuje ba yaunuu uhakke.
Yes, I tell you that, from the blood of Abel down to the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the House, it shall all be required from the present generation.
52 Kash anung anan nyiru nduka na Yahudawa, bara ina yaun imon npunu nyiru, na anung ati mine npira ba, inani nwantina anan pire.”
"Alas for you expounders of the Law! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you yourselves have not entered, and those who wanted to enter you have hindered."
53 Kubi na Yesu nsuna kikane, anan ninyerte nan na Farisiyawa ighana ghe, isu amusunanghe kitene nimon gbardang,
After He had left the house, the Scribes and Pharisees commenced a vehement attempt to entangle Him and make Him give off-hand answers on numerous points,
54 Nkukari nwori ikiffo ghe nanya tigbulang mye.
lying in wait to catch some unguarded expression from His lips.
