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.
Amongst which things, when the ten thousands of the multitude were gathered together, so that they were treading one upon another, he began to be saying, unto his disciples, first—Be keeping yourselves free from the leaven of the Pharisees, the which is, hypocrisy.
2 Bara na imomon duku ilenge na inyeshin, ile na iba punu ba, sa itursun ile na iba yinnu ba.
But, nothing, hath been, covered up, which shall not be uncovered, and hidden, which shall not be made known.
3 Bara vat nile imon na ubelle nsirti, iba lanzu nanya nkanang, ile imon na ubelle nanya kutyi, iba beellu kitene kilari.
Because, as many things as, in the darkness, ye have said, in the light, shall be heard; and, what to the ear ye spake, in the chambers, shall be proclaimed on 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.
And I say unto you, my friends—Do not be put in fear of them who kill the body, and, after these things, have nothing more uncommon which 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 suggest to you, whom ye should fear—Fear him who, after killing, hath authority to cast into gehenna, —Yea, I say unto you—Him, fear ye. (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 farthings? and, not one from among them, hath been forgotten before God.
7 Vat titi litife ina batiza tinin. Na uwa lanza fiiu ba. Udunin ndaraja ukatin ninari gbardang.
But, even the hairs of your head, have all been numbered: Be not afraid: many sparrows, ye excel.
8 Meng bellin munu, vat nle na ayinni nbun nanit, meng ba yinin ghe nbun nanan kadura Kutelle.
And I say unto you—Whosoever shall confess me before men, even the Son of Man, will confess him, before the messengers of God;
9 Bara ame ule na ata amusu nigh nbun nanit, meng bati amusu nigh nbun nanan kadura Kutelle.
But, he who denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers 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, whosoever shall say a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but, unto him who, against the Holy Spirit, speaketh profanely, it shall 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.
But, whensoever they shall be bringing you in before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how, [or what] ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;
12 Bara uruhu ulau ba dursu munu, nanya nkoni kube ile imon na iba bellu.
For, the Holy Spirit, shall teach you, in that very hour, what ye ought to say.
13 Umon nanya ligoze woroghe, “Unan yiru belle gwana nighe ti kosu ugadu.
And one from amongst the multitude said unto him—Teacher! bid my brother divide with me the inheritance.
14 Yesu woroghe, “Unit, ghari ntayi unan wucu kidge sa unan yisinu kiyitik mine?”
But, he, said unto him—Man! who hath appointed me a judge or divider over you?
15 Ame woro nani, “Sun seng i kala ati mine kiti ngbardang nimon nacara mye ba.”
And he said unto them—Mind and be guarding yourselves from all covetousness; for not, in one’s abundance, doth his life spring out of his possessions.
16 Yesu belle nani tinan tigold, aworo, “Kunen nmong wa ni kumat kang,
And he spake a parable unto them, saying—A certain rich man’s estate, bare well.
17 a kpiliza liti mye aworo, 'Iyaghari nba su, na ndumun kiti kanga na nba ciu ileo nighe ku ba?'
And he began to deliberate within himself, saying—What shall I do? because I have not where I can gather my fruits.
18 Ame woro, 'Nene nbasu. Nba turzunu illai ile nkee ididia, nceu vat nile imon na ndumun.
And he said—This, will I do, —I will pull down my barns, and, greater ones, build, and gather, there, all my wheat and good things;
19 Nnin bellin kidowo nighe, “kidowo, ning uceo illyou in nakus gbardang. Shinno, uso ulii, uso nin, lanzu nmang.”'
and will say to my soul—Soul! thou hast many good things [lying by for many years: be taking thy rest, eat, drink, ] be making merry!
20 Kutelle worroghe, 'Fe unit ulalang nin kiyitik kane nba seru ulaife, ile imone na uceu iba lawu inghari?'
But God said unto him—Simple one! on this very night, they are asking, thy soul, from thee; The things, then, which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?
21 Nanere umon ba yitu, ulenge na a ceo imon, a na ayita nin nimon kiti Kutelle ba.”
[So, is he that is laying up treasure for himself, and is not rich, towards 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 unto his disciples—For this cause, I say unto you, —Be not anxious for the life, what ye shall eat, nor yet for [your] body, what ye shall put on;
23 Bara ulai katin imon nlii, kidowo tutun katin imon nshonu.
For, the life, is more, than the food, and, the body, than, the 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 well the ravens—That they sow nor, neither do they reap, which have neither chamber nor barn, —and, God, feedeth, them! By how much do, ye, excel, the birds?
25 Nin ghari nanya minne nwasa akpina ngbardanag nayiri mye?
And, who from among you, though anxious, can, unto his stature, add a cubit?
26 Andi na iwasu isu ile imon icinghe ba, iyari inta idama nin kagisine?
If then, not even the least thing, ye can do, why, concerning the rest, are ye anxious?
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 well the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you—Not even Solomon, in all his glory, was arrayed 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!
But, if God thus adorneth, the grass, which is, in a field, to-day, and, to-morrow, into an oven, is cast, how much rather you, O little-of-faith?
29 Na iwa dama kitene nimonli sa ile imon na iba sonu, na iwa so nin damuwa ba.
Ye, therefore, be not seeking what ye shall eat and what ye shall drink, and be not held in suspense;
30 Bara vat nigbir inye din piziru, ile imone, ame Ucif mine yiru au idinin su nile imone.
For, after all these things, do, the nations of the world, seek, —but, your Father, knoweth that ye need these things.
31 Piziran kipin tigo mye, kagisin nimone iba kpin munu ku.
Notwithstanding, be seeking his kingdom, —and, these things, shall be added unto you.
32 Na iwa lanza fiu, bara na idi kago kabene ba, bara ucif mine din lanzu nmang ani munu kipin tigowe.
Be not afraid, the dear little flock! for your Father delighteth 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 your possessions, and give alms, make for yourselves purses that wax not old, —treasure unfailing, in the heavens, where, thief, doth not draw near, and, moth, doth not spoil.
34 Kiti kanga na Imus fe duku, kinere kibinaife ba yitu ku.
For, where your treasure is, there, will your heart he also.
35 Tern alutuk ajangarang mine gangang, na tipilila mine yita nkasu,
Let your loins be girded, and your lamps burning,
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, ye yourselves, like unto men awaiting their own lord, once he may break up out of the marriage-feast, —that, when he cometh and knocketh, straightway, they may open unto him.
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.
Happy those servants, whom the lord, when he cometh, shall find watching! Verily, I say unto you—he will gird himself, and make them recline, and, coming near, will minister unto them.
38 Cikilari une nwandak nin lijii kiyitik, sa udu shantu kiti idi se nani idin ncaa, acin ane anan nmariari.
And, if, in the second, or if, in the third, watch, he come and find, thus, happy, are, they!
39 Udu Ubune yinno, asa Cikilari Kilare yiru kubi ko na akiri ba dak, na aba yinnu ipuru ghe kilari ba.
But, of this, be taking note—Had the householder known, in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not suffered his house, to be digged through.
40 Soon nin yiru, na iyiru kubi ko na gono nnite ba dak ba.”
Ye, therefore, be getting ready, because, in what hour ye are not thinking, The Son of Man cometh!
41 Bitrus woroghe “Cikilari, udin bellu to tinan tigoldo bara arika, sa anite vat?”
But Peter said—Lord! unto us, this parable, speakest thou? or, even unto all?
42 Cikilare woro, “Ghara unan nginu sa uyenu, ujinjin ule na Cikilare ba nighe acin mye, ani nani imonli kube dedei ya?
And the Lord said—Who then is the faithful steward, the prudent one, whom the lord will appoint over his body of attendants, to be giving, in due season, the measured allowance of wheat?
43 Unan nmariari kucin kone, ule na Cikilare ba da seghe nsu nile imon na ataghe in suwe?
Happy, that servant, whom the lord, when he cometh shall find doing, thus!
44 Kidegene nworo munu, aba nighe imon mye vat.
Of a truth, I say unto you—Over all his possessions, will he appoint him.
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 should say in his heart—My lord delayeth to come! and should begin to be striking the youths and the maidens, —to be eating also, and drinking, and making himself drunk,
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.
The lord of that servant, will have come—on a day when he is not expecting, and in an hour when he is not taking note, —and will cut him asunder, and, his part, with the unfaithful, will appoint.
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 had come to know the will of his lord, and neither prepared, nor wrought unto his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;
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.
Whereas, he who had not come to know, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And, every one to whom was given much, much, shall be sought from him; and, he to whom they committed much, for more than common, will they ask him.
49 Nnna dak nda tii ulah inye, nda usu nigheri iwadi ita ula ku.
Fire, came I to cast upon the earth, —and what can I wish, if, already, it hath been, kindled?
50 Meng dinin nshintinu ule na nba shintinu munu mun, ndi shotu iwadi imala!
But, an immersion, have I, to be immersed with, and how am I distressed, until it be ended!
51 Idin kpilizu nafo nna dak, nda ni munu nshau inye? Nani ba, nna dak nda wuso munuari.
Suppose ye, that, peace, I am come to give in the earth? Nay, I tell you, but rather division.
52 Nene nbellin munu nanya kilari awatua ba yitu ku, anit na tatt ba su ivira nin na nanit natat.
For there shall be, henceforth, five in one house, divided, —three against two, and 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.”
There shall be divided—Father against son, and son against father, mother against daughter, and daughter against the mother, —mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against the 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 went on to say, even unto the multitudes, —Whensoever ye see a cloud springing up from the west, straightway, ye are saying—A thunderstorm is coming! and it happeneth thus.
55 Asa iyene ufunu nuzu kadas, asa iworo, 'Kiti ba yitu puu kang,' nanere ba yitu.
And, whensoever a south wind, blowing, ye say—A scorching heat, will there be! and it cometh to pass.
56 Anun anan rusuzu natiminne, iyiru ubellu nimon inyi nin kitene, ani iyaghari nta na iyiru ubellu kube ko na tidi nanye ba?
Hypocrites! the face of the earth and of the heaven, ye know how to scan; but, this season, how know ye not to scan;
57 Iyaghari ntah na idin wucu kidegen nati mine ba?
Why, moreover, even from yourselves, judge ye not 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.
For, as thou art going along with thine adversary unto a ruler, on the way, take pains to get a release from him; lest once he drag thee along unto the judge, and, the judge, deliver thee up to the punisher, —and, the punisher, cast thee into prison:
59 Meng bellin munu, na uba nuzu nacara mine ba, se una nari fikubu na udumun vat.”
I tell thee—In nowise shalt thou come out from thence, until, even the last fraction, thou pay!
