Luka 9
1 Ayicila nono katwa mye likure nin wabe, ana nani likara kitene nagbergenu nin shizhinu nin tikonu.
Then Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and power to cure diseases.
2 Ato nani, idi bellin uliru kiti kipin tigo mye, nin shizinu nanan tikonu.
And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
3 A woro nani na iwa yiru imon bara ucine ba, sa uca, imon inyi, imonlii, ukurfung, sa alutuk abba.
“Take nothing for the journey,” He told them, “no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no second tunic.
4 Vat kilari ka na ipira soo kinin, udu liyiri lo na iba cinu kipine.
Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that area.
5 Inung alle na inari munu, asa iba nuzu nanya kipin, kotinon lidau we nabune mine, liba so ushaida nati mine.”
If anyone does not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that town, as a testimony against them.”
6 Itunna iwatuna, ipira nigbire itina nbellin nliru umang, nin shizinu nanit niti niti.
So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.
7 Hirdus ugo na alanza ile imon na idinsu, au Yohanna unan shintu nanit infita.
When Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, he was perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from the dead,
8 Kiti namong idin su Iliya nsah, among woro umon unan nburnari, in fita nanya na nan nlai.
others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that a prophet of old had arisen.
9 Hiridus woro, “Ina malu ukalu liti Yohanna, ani ghari ndi nlanzu kiti mee nene.” Hiridus do npiziru ayene Yesu ku.
“I beheaded John,” Herod said, “but who is this man I hear such things about?” And he kept trying to see Jesus.
10 Alenge na iwa tuu nani issah, ibellinghe vat nile imon na isu, anya nanghinu ligowe nanghe, udu kipin Batsaida.
Then the apostles returned and reported to Jesus all that they had done. Taking them away privately, He withdrew to a town called Bethsaida.
11 Inung ligoze lanza nani Idofinghe, atah nani mahadi, abelle nani ubellen kipin tigo na idinin su inshinue.
But the crowds found out and followed Him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and He healed those who needed healing.
12 Nin ndu kulelen, inung likure nin wabe, woroghee suuna ligoze idoo nigbir nkilinue, idi piziru kiti linanin nin nimonli, bara kikane na tidi ku kushori.
As the day neared its end, the Twelve came to Jesus and said, “Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside for lodging and provisions. For we are in a desolate place here.”
13 Aworo nani, “Nan nani imonli ili.” Inug woro, “na tidi nin nimomon na ikatin nfungul utaun nin niboo ibba ba, sse tido tidi seru nani imonli bara ligozi vat.
But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered, “unless we go and buy food for all these people.”
14 Iwadi annit amui alaun. A woro nono kadura mye, “Taan nani iso acuri akut ataun taun.
(There were about five thousand men.) He told His disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
15 Isu nani anite so vat kutyin.
They did so, and everyone was seated.
16 A yauna ufungul utaune nin niboo ibe, ato iyiizi kitene atah nmari ku, a pucu agir anaa nono katuwa mye, inin koso nani.
Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples to set before the people.
17 Inung vat leo ishito, kagisin nbubun nimole nazza, ipitirno ita nakuzun likure nin nabba.
They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
18 Idoo nkon kubi adin nti nliran usame, nono katuwa mye nanghe anin tirino nani, “Ligozi din su meng ghari?”
One day as Jesus was praying in private and the disciples were with Him, He questioned them: “Who do the crowds say I am?”
19 Ikauwa ghe iworo, “Yohanna unan shintu nmyen (Baptisma) amon woro Iliya, amon woro nkon kunan nburnuari in fita.”
They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that a prophet of old has arisen.”
20 Anin woro nani, “Anung dinsu meng ghari?” Bitrus kauwa aworo kristi unuzu Kutelle.”
“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
21 A wunno nani atuf, Yesu woro nani na iwa bellin umon ba.
Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.
22 Nworu gono nnit ba niu nin nimon gbardang, iba nari ghe, akune nin uso napirist a anan ninyerte, iba mollughe ayiri atat a ba fitu nin lai.
“The Son of Man must suffer many things,” He said. “He must be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”
23 A woro nani vat, “Asa ule na adinin nsu adak kiti nigh, aba nari liti mye, aba diru, ule na anari litime bara meng aba se utucu.
Then Jesus said to all of them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.
24 Ulenge na idinin su a tucu liti mye, aba diru, ule na anari litime bara meng aba se utucu.
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.
25 Iyaghari ncaute unit se imon inye vat, anin dira ulai mye?
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet lose or forfeit his very self?
26 Vat nle na adi nlanzu ncin nigh nin ligbulang nigh, gono nnit ba lanzu ncin mye nwui une na aba dak nanya ngongon Ncif mye nin nono kadura Kutelle.
If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
27 Nworo munu kidegenere indi bellu munu, among yisin kikane, na ukul ba dudu nani ba, se idoo kipin tigo Kutelle.”
But I tell you truthfully, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”
28 Na ayiri kulir nkata na Yesu nbelle nani tigbulang tone, ayira Bitrus, Yohanna, a Yakubu, ighana kitene kupara ati nlirag.
About eight days after Jesus had said these things, He took with Him Peter, John, and James, and went up on a mountain to pray.
29 Na adi nliraghe, umuro mye saka, imon mye tunna ipo pau nwaltu.
And as He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became radiantly white.
30 Itunna ise amon naba ida idin nliru nanghe, ashe Musa nin Iliya.
Suddenly two men, Moses and Elijah, began talking with Jesus.
31 Ale na iwa yenje nani gongon, idin nliru kitene nnyiu mye, ule na iba kullu nanya Urushelima.
They appeared in glory and spoke about His departure, which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 Kubi, Bitrus nan nale na iwa di nanghe nmoro wadi nani kang, na izinto, iyene ngongon mye nin nale iwa yisin nanghe.
Meanwhile Peter and his companions were overcome by sleep, but when they awoke, they saw Jesus’ glory and the two men standing with Him.
33 Uso nani, na inya ligowe nan Yesu, Bitrus woroghe, “Cikilari ucaun na tidi kikane, tiba ke adanga atat, ti ke kurum kun Iliya.” Na ayinno ile imon na adin belle ba.
As Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters —one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)
34 Kube na adin belle nleli imone, kuwut tolo ku tursu nani, fiu da nani, na kuwute nkilino nani.
While Peter was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
35 Liwui nuzu nanya kuwute liworo, “Gono nighari kane na ina fere lanzan ghe.”
And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him!”
36 Na imala ulanzu liwuiye, Yesu yita usame, inung so tik, nanya nayiri ane na iwa bellin umong ba, ile imon na iyene.
After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was present with them. The disciples kept this to themselves, and in those days they did not tell anyone what they had seen.
37 Ukurtunu nkuiye, na isa unuzu kupara, ligozi nanit da zuro nanghe.
The next day, when they came down from the mountain, Jesus was met by a large crowd.
38 Umon nanya ligozi gilla a woro, “Unan yiru ndin fofi nacara yene usaun nighe, amere gono nighe cas.
Suddenly a man in the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, for he is my only child.
39 Yene Uruhu sa uyaunghe, amalzino, aketize, anutuzuno kupunget nnuwe, na asa usunghe ba, se ushalaghe.
A spirit keeps seizing him, and he screams abruptly. It throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It keeps mauling him and rarely departs from him.
40 Asa nfo nono katwa fa acara, nshin ninghe na isa iyinno ba.”
I begged Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”
41 Yesu kauwa a woro, “Anung anan salin nyinnu nin kuji kugbas, udu kishiyari nba yinu uso nanghinu danin nsaun fe kikane.”
“O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”
42 Na gone din cinu uduwe agbergenu yaunghe ilina kutyin atunna nketizu. Yesu kpada Uruhu unanzang, ashino nin gone, anin nakpa ucife.
Even while the boy was approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 Vat mine yene nziziki ngbardang Kutelle, na vat mine nkiffo tunu nile imon asu, ani woro nono katuwa mye,
And they were all astonished at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus was doing, He said to His disciples,
44 “Na to tigbulanghe do piit nnit nacara nanit.”
“Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”
45 Na inin wa yinin ule idiru ba, Bara na uwa nyeshin kiti mine na iyinno liti nlire ba. Vat nani nlanza fiu nworu itiringhe uliru une.
But they did not understand this statement. It was veiled from them so that they could not comprehend it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
46 Manyardang fita nanya mine, nbelleng nworu ghari ba so udiya mine.
Then an argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.
47 Yesu nin yiru nkpilizu nibinai mine, a yicila kagone kabene a yisa likot me,
But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, had a little child stand beside Him.
48 Anin woro nani, ulenge na asere gono kane, asere menku. Ulenge na asere menku, asere ulenge na ana tuuyi, ulenge na aceo liti me nafo gono kibene amere ba so udya nanya mine.
And He said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. For whoever is the least among all of you, he is the greatest.”
49 Yohanna kauwa, “Cikilari tiyene umong nutuzunu nagbergenu nin lisafe, tinanin wantinghe, bara na adi ndortu nari ba.”
“Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”
50 Na iwa wantinghe ba, “Ubellun Yesu, vat nlenge na adi nivira nan ghinu ba unminere.”
“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”
51 Na ayiri nyiu me nda susut aceo umuro me udu Urushelima.
As the day of His ascension approached, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.
52 Ato anan kadura nbun me, inya ipira kagbir Nsamariya, ikeleghe imone.
He sent messengers on ahead, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.
53 Anite kikane wa tighe mahabi ba, bara amal ciu umuro me udu Urushelima.
But the people there refused to welcome Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem.
54 Na nono katuwa me, Yakubu nin Yohanna inyene nani, iworo, “Cikilari titi ulah tolu umolu nani?”
When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”
55 A gitirino a kpada nani.
But Jesus turned and rebuked them.
56 Itunna inya udu nkan kagbir.
And He and His disciples went on to another village.
57 Na idin cine libau we, umon woroghe, “Meng ba dofin fi udu kika na uba duu.”
As they were walking along the road, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.”
58 Yesu kauwa a woroghe, “Ninyan yau dinin tiyyi, Anyin yita nin nado, meng gono nnit dinin kiti nciu liti ba.
Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”
59 Anin woro nmong, “Dofini.” Ame woroghe, “Cikilari ucizine na ndo ndi kassu ucif nigh.”
Then He said to another man, “Follow Me.” The man replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
60 Ame atimine anan nkul, fe can udi belle piit nin npash uliru kipin tigo Kutelle.”
But Jesus told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. You, however, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
61 Umong ugang woroghe, “Meng ba dofinfi Cikilari, na ntuu ndi bellin anan kilari nighe meng nya.”
Still another said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first let me bid farewell to my family.”
62 Yesu kauwa a woroghe, “Na umong duku alenge na ata ucara me nkeke nikawa, asa a gitirno, na abase upiri kipin tigo Kutelle ba.”
Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
