Luka 12
1 Nanya nkoni kube, na gbardang limui nanit wa zuro ligowe, gbardang ipalila ati mine, acizina ubellu nono katuwa mye, “Yinnon ubellen nyist na Farisiyawa, unere magunta.
Then, as great crowds were standing so close that they were stepping on one another, he began to say to his disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Bara na imomon duku ilenge na inyeshin, ile na iba punu ba, sa itursun ile na iba yinnu ba.
For there is nothing covered, which will not be revealed, nor anything hidden, which will not be known.
3 Bara vat nile imon na ubelle nsirti, iba lanzu nanya nkanang, ile imon na ubelle nanya kutyi, iba beellu kitene kilari.
For the things that you have spoken in darkness will be declared in the light. And what you have said in the ear in bedrooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.
4 Meng bellin munu adondon nigh, yenje iwa lanz fiu nle na aba molu kidowo, nin nani na idumun nimomon ile na iwasa isu tutun ba.
So I say to you, my friends: Do not be fearful of those who kill the body, and afterwards have no more that they can do.
5 Nba wunun munu atuff kitene nlenge na iba lanzu fiu mye, lanzan fiu nlenge na awa mdu adinin likara nworu atu kidowo nanya nlah. Nanere nbellin munu lanzan fiu mye. (Geenna g1067)
But I will reveal to you whom you should fear. Fear him who, after he will have killed, has the power to cast into Hell. So I say to you: Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 A na ninari nitaun asa ilewe ikubu iba ba? Vat nani na nkan duku asa ishawa mun ba, nyenjie Kutelle.
Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? And yet not one of these is forgotten in the sight of God.
7 Vat titi litife ina batiza tinin. Na uwa lanza fiiu ba. Udunin ndaraja ukatin ninari gbardang.
But even the very hairs of your head have all been numbered. Therefore, do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.
8 Meng bellin munu, vat nle na ayinni nbun nanit, meng ba yinin ghe nbun nanan kadura Kutelle.
But I say to you: Everyone who will have confessed me before men, the Son of man will also confess him before the Angels of God.
9 Bara ame ule na ata amusu nigh nbun nanit, meng bati amusu nigh nbun nanan kadura Kutelle.
But everyone who will have denied me before men, he will be denied before the Angels of God.
10 Vat nlenge na abelle tigbulang niviran kitenen ngono Kutelle iba shawu, ame ulenge na asu tizogo nin nivira kitene Nruhu, na iba shawu mun ba.
And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven of him. But of him who will have blasphemed against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.
11 Kubi ko na idanin ghinu kiti wucu kidgen, anan tigo, nin na nan nakara, na iwa dama ba, kitene nile imon na iba bellu ubun munu, sa ile imon na iba bellu.
And when they will lead you to the synagogues, and to magistrates and authorities, do not choose to be worried about how or what you will answer, or about what you might say.
12 Bara uruhu ulau ba dursu munu, nanya nkoni kube ile imon na iba bellu.
For the Holy Spirit will teach you, in the same hour, what you must say.”
13 Umon nanya ligoze woroghe, “Unan yiru belle gwana nighe ti kosu ugadu.
And someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me.”
14 Yesu woroghe, “Unit, ghari ntayi unan wucu kidge sa unan yisinu kiyitik mine?”
But he said to him, “Man, who has appointed me as judge or arbitrator over you?”
15 Ame woro nani, “Sun seng i kala ati mine kiti ngbardang nimon nacara mye ba.”
So he said to them: “Be cautious and wary of all avarice. For a person’s life is not found in the abundance of the things that he possesses.”
16 Yesu belle nani tinan tigold, aworo, “Kunen nmong wa ni kumat kang,
Then he spoke to them using a comparison, saying: “The fertile land of a certain wealthy man produced crops.
17 a kpiliza liti mye aworo, 'Iyaghari nba su, na ndumun kiti kanga na nba ciu ileo nighe ku ba?'
And he thought within himself, saying: ‘What should I do? For I have nowhere to gather together my crops.’
18 Ame woro, 'Nene nbasu. Nba turzunu illai ile nkee ididia, nceu vat nile imon na ndumun.
And he said: ‘This is what I will do. I will tear down my barns and build larger ones. And into these, I will gather all the things that have been grown for me, as well as my goods.
19 Nnin bellin kidowo nighe, “kidowo, ning uceo illyou in nakus gbardang. Shinno, uso ulii, uso nin, lanzu nmang.”'
And I will say to my soul: Soul, you have many goods, stored up for many years. Relax, eat, drink, and be cheerful.’
20 Kutelle worroghe, 'Fe unit ulalang nin kiyitik kane nba seru ulaife, ile imone na uceu iba lawu inghari?'
But God said to him: ‘Foolish one, this very night they require your soul of you. To whom, then, will those things belong, which you have prepared?’
21 Nanere umon ba yitu, ulenge na a ceo imon, a na ayita nin nimon kiti Kutelle ba.”
So it is with him who stores up for himself, and is not wealthy with God.”
22 Yesu woro non Katuwa mye, “Bara nani meng nbelling munu, yenje iwa dama nin nlai-sa imon nli, sa imon nshonu kidowo mine.
And he said to his disciples: “And so I say to you: Do not choose to be anxious about your life, as to what you may eat, nor about your body, as to what you will wear.
23 Bara ulai katin imon nlii, kidowo tutun katin imon nshonu.
Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
24 Yenjen agoron, na idin su tibli sa ugirbi ba. Na idinin kiti kaciso sa filai ba, Kutelle din nli ninghinu. Na anun katin anyine ba!
Consider the ravens. For they neither sow nor reap; there is no storehouse or barn for them. And yet God pastures them. How much more are you, compared to them?
25 Nin ghari nanya minne nwasa akpina ngbardanag nayiri mye?
But which of you, by thinking, is able to add one cubit to his stature?
26 Andi na iwasu isu ile imon icinghe ba, iyari inta idama nin kagisine?
Therefore, if you are not capable, in what is so little, why be anxious about the rest?
27 Yenjen amamu kusho inda na idin kunju. Na idin su katuwa sa fiyari. Nin nani meng nbelling munu ko Solomon nin ngongon mye wa shon imon nafo umong mine ba.
Consider the lilies, how they grow. They neither work nor weave. But I say to you, not even Solomon, in all his glory, was clothed like one of these.
28 Andi Kutelle din tizu ukpi kusho kuyok, uleng na idiku kitimone, udu nkui ina to nani nlah, iyaghari bati na aba su anunku kuyok ba, anan cing nyinnu sa uyenu!
Therefore, if God so clothes the grass, which is in the field today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, how much more you, O little in faith?
29 Na iwa dama kitene nimonli sa ile imon na iba sonu, na iwa so nin damuwa ba.
And so, do not choose to inquire as to what you will eat, or what you will drink. And do not choose to be lifted up on high.
30 Bara vat nigbir inye din piziru, ile imone, ame Ucif mine yiru au idinin su nile imone.
For all these things are sought by the Gentiles of the world. And your Father knows that you have need of these things.
31 Piziran kipin tigo mye, kagisin nimone iba kpin munu ku.
Yet truly, seek first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added to you.
32 Na iwa lanza fiu, bara na idi kago kabene ba, bara ucif mine din lanzu nmang ani munu kipin tigowe.
Do not be afraid, little flock; for it has pleased your Father to give you the kingdom.
33 Lessen ile imon na idumun Inii anan diru, keen tikka to nati ba jarzu ba, ceon imus kitene kani kika ukiri duku, sa kiyoro ba.
Sell what you possess, and give alms. Make for yourselves purses that will not wear out, a treasure that will not fall short, in heaven, where no thief approaches, and no moth corrupts.
34 Kiti kanga na Imus fe duku, kinere kibinaife ba yitu ku.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Tern alutuk ajangarang mine gangang, na tipilila mine yita nkasu,
Let your waists be girded, and let lamps be burning in your hands.
36 soon nafo annit alenge na idin ncaa Nchikilari mine, ule na aba sa unuzu kitin buki nilugma, asa ada ariyo kibulun ima punghe mun dedei.
And let you yourselves be like men awaiting their lord, when he will return from the wedding; so that, when he arrives and knocks, they may open to him promptly.
37 Kucin kone unan nmariari ale na Cikilare mine ba dase nani ncaa, kidegen nworo munu, aba bunku kulutuk ku kujangarang mye, ati nani iso, a ni nani imonli.
Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when he returns, will find being vigilant. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, while he, continuing on, will minister to them.
38 Cikilari une nwandak nin lijii kiyitik, sa udu shantu kiti idi se nani idin ncaa, acin ane anan nmariari.
And if he will return in the second watch, or if in the third watch, and if he will find them to be so: then blessed are those servants.
39 Udu Ubune yinno, asa Cikilari Kilare yiru kubi ko na akiri ba dak, na aba yinnu ipuru ghe kilari ba.
But know this: that if the father of the family knew at what hour the thief would arrive, he would certainly stand watch, and he would not permit his house to be broken into.
40 Soon nin yiru, na iyiru kubi ko na gono nnite ba dak ba.”
You also must be prepared. For the Son of man will return at an hour that you will not realize.”
41 Bitrus woroghe “Cikilari, udin bellu to tinan tigoldo bara arika, sa anite vat?”
Then Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or also to everyone?”
42 Cikilare woro, “Ghara unan nginu sa uyenu, ujinjin ule na Cikilare ba nighe acin mye, ani nani imonli kube dedei ya?
So the Lord said: “Who do you think is the faithful and prudent steward, whom his Lord has appointed over his family, in order to give them their measure of wheat in due time?
43 Unan nmariari kucin kone, ule na Cikilare ba da seghe nsu nile imon na ataghe in suwe?
Blessed is that servant if, when his Lord will return, he will find him acting in this manner.
44 Kidegene nworo munu, aba nighe imon mye vat.
Truly I say to you, that he will appoint him over all that he possesses.
45 Kucin kone nwa woro kibnei, 'Cikilari ndandauna sa udak,' acizina ufo nacin mye nilime nan nishono, atunna ncii nin nso atah hem,
But if that servant will have said in his heart, ‘My Lord has made a delay in his return,’ and if he has begun to strike the men and women servants, and to eat and drink, and to be inebriated,
46 cikilari kucin kone ba dak liri lo na adin ncawe ba, sa kubi ko na ayiru ba, aba kezughe agir, a ceoghe kiti na na salin yinnu.
then the Lord of that servant will return on a day which he hoped not, and at an hour which he knew not. And he will separate him, and he will place his portion with that of the unfaithful.
47 Kucin kone nin tanni npilizu ncikilare, nin salin nke ncin nye sa asu nafo na Cikilare na bellin, iba foghe nin likuntung.
And that servant, who knew the will of his Lord, and who did not prepare and did not act according to his will, will be beaten many times over.
48 Ame ule na ayiru ba, idinsu ile imon na ibatin ikpizighe, iba kutughe baat bara utanni mye, vat ile na inaghe gbadang, iba piziru gbardan kiti mye, ule na iyinna ninghe, iba tirinu gbardang kiti mye.
Yet he who did not know, and who acted in a way that deserves a beating, will be beaten fewer times. So then, of all to whom much has been given, much will be required. And of those to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be asked.
49 Nnna dak nda tii ulah inye, nda usu nigheri iwadi ita ula ku.
I have come to cast a fire upon the earth. And what should I desire, except that it may be kindled?
50 Meng dinin nshintinu ule na nba shintinu munu mun, ndi shotu iwadi imala!
And I have a baptism, with which I am to be baptized. And how I am constrained, even until it may be accomplished!
51 Idin kpilizu nafo nna dak, nda ni munu nshau inye? Nani ba, nna dak nda wuso munuari.
Do you think that I have come to give peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.
52 Nene nbellin munu nanya kilari awatua ba yitu ku, anit na tatt ba su ivira nin na nanit natat.
For from this time on, there will be five in one house: divided as three against two, and as two against three.
53 Iba kosu kidowo, ucif nivira nin nsaune, usaune nivira nin ncif; unna nivira nin nshono, ushon nivira nin nnah; nan nles nivira nin nwul, uwul nivira nin nan nles.”
A father will be divided against a son, and a son against his father; a mother against a daughter and a daughter against a mother; a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
54 Yesu wadi nbellu ligoze, tutun, “Asa iyene awut kusari kitene, asa woro, 'Na nin dandaunu,' ba uwauri ba juuy nanere udi.
And he also said to the crowds: “When you see a cloud rising from the setting of the sun, immediately you say, ‘A rain cloud is coming.’ And so it does.
55 Asa iyene ufunu nuzu kadas, asa iworo, 'Kiti ba yitu puu kang,' nanere ba yitu.
And when a south wind is blowing, you say, ‘It will be hot.’ And so it is.
56 Anun anan rusuzu natiminne, iyiru ubellu nimon inyi nin kitene, ani iyaghari nta na iyiru ubellu kube ko na tidi nanye ba?
You hypocrites! You discern the face of the heavens, and of the earth, yet how is it that you do not discern this time?
57 Iyaghari ntah na idin wucu kidegen nati mine ba?
And why do you not, even among yourselves, judge what is just?
58 Asa uda nin nan nivira kitingo kubi na idi libau udowe keelin uliru baba iwa do idi teru munu kilari tigo.
So, when you are going with your adversary to the ruler, while you are on the way, make an effort to be freed from him, lest perhaps he may lead you to the judge, and the judge may deliver you to the officer, and the officer may cast you into prison.
59 Meng bellin munu, na uba nuzu nacara mine ba, se una nari fikubu na udumun vat.”
I tell you, you will not depart from there, until you have paid the very last coin.”
