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.
Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast 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.
But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that 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.
Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will 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.
“I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that 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 warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell 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.
“Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
7 Vat titi litife ina batiza tinin. Na uwa lanza fiiu ba. Udunin ndaraja ukatin ninari gbardang.
But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Meng bellin munu, vat nle na ayinni nbun nanit, meng ba yinin ghe nbun nanan kadura Kutelle.
“I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;
9 Bara ame ule na ata amusu nigh nbun nanit, meng bati amusu nigh nbun nanan kadura Kutelle.
but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.
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.
Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit 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.
When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;
12 Bara uruhu ulau ba dursu munu, nanya nkoni kube ile imon na iba bellu.
for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
13 Umon nanya ligoze woroghe, “Unan yiru belle gwana nighe ti kosu ugadu.
One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide 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 made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
15 Ame woro nani, “Sun seng i kala ati mine kiti ngbardang nimon nacara mye ba.”
He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
16 Yesu belle nani tinan tigold, aworo, “Kunen nmong wa ni kumat kang,
He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
17 a kpiliza liti mye aworo, 'Iyaghari nba su, na ndumun kiti kanga na nba ciu ileo nighe ku ba?'
He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’
18 Ame woro, 'Nene nbasu. Nba turzunu illai ile nkee ididia, nceu vat nile imon na ndumun.
He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19 Nnin bellin kidowo nighe, “kidowo, ning uceo illyou in nakus gbardang. Shinno, uso ulii, uso nin, lanzu nmang.”'
I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
20 Kutelle worroghe, 'Fe unit ulalang nin kiyitik kane nba seru ulaife, ile imone na uceu iba lawu inghari?'
“But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
21 Nanere umon ba yitu, ulenge na a ceo imon, a na ayita nin nimon kiti Kutelle ba.”
So is he who lays 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.
He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, 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: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
25 Nin ghari nanya minne nwasa akpina ngbardanag nayiri mye?
Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
26 Andi na iwasu isu ile imon icinghe ba, iyari inta idama nin kagisine?
If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you 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 don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not 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 this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
29 Na iwa dama kitene nimonli sa ile imon na iba sonu, na iwa so nin damuwa ba.
“Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
30 Bara vat nigbir inye din piziru, ile imone, ame Ucif mine yiru au idinin su nile imone.
For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
31 Piziran kipin tigo mye, kagisin nimone iba kpin munu ku.
But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will 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.
“Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure 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 have and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
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 waist be dressed 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.
Be like men watching for their lord when he returns from the wedding feast, that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to 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.
Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.
38 Cikilari une nwandak nin lijii kiyitik, sa udu shantu kiti idi se nani idin ncaa, acin ane anan nmariari.
They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.
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 master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
40 Soon nin yiru, na iyiru kubi ko na gono nnite ba dak ba.”
Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”
41 Bitrus woroghe “Cikilari, udin bellu to tinan tigoldo bara arika, sa anite vat?”
Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
42 Cikilare woro, “Ghara unan nginu sa uyenu, ujinjin ule na Cikilare ba nighe acin mye, ani nani imonli kube dedei ya?
The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
43 Unan nmariari kucin kone, ule na Cikilare ba da seghe nsu nile imon na ataghe in suwe?
Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
44 Kidegene nworo munu, aba nighe imon mye vat.
Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
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 says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and to be drunken,
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 come in a day when he isn’t expecting him and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with 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.
That servant who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare nor do what he wanted, will 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.
but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
49 Nnna dak nda tii ulah inye, nda usu nigheri iwadi ita ula ku.
“I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
50 Meng dinin nshintinu ule na nba shintinu munu mun, ndi shotu iwadi imala!
But I have a baptism to be baptised with, and how distressed I am until it is 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 in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
52 Nene nbellin munu nanya kilari awatua ba yitu ku, anit na tatt ba su ivira nin na nanit natat.
For from now on, there will be 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.”
They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and 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.
He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
55 Asa iyene ufunu nuzu kadas, asa iworo, 'Kiti ba yitu puu kang,' nanere ba yitu.
When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
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 know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?
57 Iyaghari ntah na idin wucu kidegen nati mine ba?
“Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
58 Asa uda nin nan nivira kitingo kubi na idi libau udowe keelin uliru baba iwa do idi teru munu kilari tigo.
For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw 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 by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny.”
