Luka 9
1 Ayicila nono katwa mye likure nin wabe, ana nani likara kitene nagbergenu nin shizhinu nin tikonu.
Then calling the Twelve together He conferred on them power and authority over all the demons and to cure diseases;
2 Ato nani, idi bellin uliru kiti kipin tigo mye, nin shizinu nanan tikonu.
and sent them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to cure the sick.
3 A woro nani na iwa yiru imon bara ucine ba, sa uca, imon inyi, imonlii, ukurfung, sa alutuk abba.
And He commanded them, "Take nothing for your journey; neither stick nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have an extra under garment.
4 Vat kilari ka na ipira soo kinin, udu liyiri lo na iba cinu kipine.
Whatever house you enter, make that your home, and from it start afresh.
5 Inung alle na inari munu, asa iba nuzu nanya kipin, kotinon lidau we nabune mine, liba so ushaida nati mine.”
Wherever they refuse to receive you, as you leave that town shake off the very dust from your feet as a protest against them."
6 Itunna iwatuna, ipira nigbire itina nbellin nliru umang, nin shizinu nanit niti niti.
So they departed and visited village after village, spreading the Good News and performing cures everywhere.
7 Hirdus ugo na alanza ile imon na idinsu, au Yohanna unan shintu nanit infita.
Now Herod the Tetrarch heard of all that was going on; and he was bewildered because of its being said by some that John had come back to life,
8 Kiti namong idin su Iliya nsah, among woro umon unan nburnari, in fita nanya na nan nlai.
by others that Elijah had appeared, and by others that some one of the ancient Prophets had come back to life.
9 Hiridus woro, “Ina malu ukalu liti Yohanna, ani ghari ndi nlanzu kiti mee nene.” Hiridus do npiziru ayene Yesu ku.
And Herod said, "John I have beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such reports?" And he sought for an opportunity of seeing Jesus.
10 Alenge na iwa tuu nani issah, ibellinghe vat nile imon na isu, anya nanghinu ligowe nanghe, udu kipin Batsaida.
The Apostles, on their return, related to Jesus all they had done. Then He took them and withdrew to a quiet retreat, 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 immense crowd, aware of this, followed Him; and receiving them kindly He proceeded to speak to them of the Kingdom of God, and those who needed to be restored to health, He cured.
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.
Now when the day began to decline, the Twelve came to Him and said, "Send the people away, that they may go to the villages and farms round about and find lodging and a supply of food; because here we are in an uninhabited district."
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.
"You yourselves," He said, "must give them food." "We have nothing," they replied, "but five loaves and a couple of fish, unless indeed we were to go and buy provisions for all this host of people."
14 Iwadi annit amui alaun. A woro nono kadura mye, “Taan nani iso acuri akut ataun taun.
(For there were about 5,000 adult men.) But He said to His disciples, "Make them sit down in parties of about fifty each."
15 Isu nani anite so vat kutyin.
They did so, making them all, without exception, sit down.
16 A yauna ufungul utaune nin niboo ibe, ato iyiizi kitene atah nmari ku, a pucu agir anaa nono katuwa mye, inin koso nani.
Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to Heaven He blessed them and broke them into portions which He gave to the disciples to distribute to the people.
17 Inung vat leo ishito, kagisin nbubun nimole nazza, ipitirno ita nakuzun likure nin nabba.
So they ate and were fully satisfied, all of them; and what they had remaining over was gathered up, twelve baskets of fragments.
18 Idoo nkon kubi adin nti nliran usame, nono katuwa mye nanghe anin tirino nani, “Ligozi din su meng ghari?”
One day when He was praying by Himself the disciples were present; and He asked them, "Who do the people say that I am?"
19 Ikauwa ghe iworo, “Yohanna unan shintu nmyen (Baptisma) amon woro Iliya, amon woro nkon kunan nburnuari in fita.”
"John the Baptist," they replied; "but others say Elijah; and others that some one of the ancient Prophets has come back to life."
20 Anin woro nani, “Anung dinsu meng ghari?” Bitrus kauwa aworo kristi unuzu Kutelle.”
"But you," He asked, "who do you say that I am?" "God's Anointed One," replied Peter.
21 A wunno nani atuf, Yesu woro nani na iwa bellin umon ba.
And Jesus strictly forbad them to tell this to any one;
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.
and He said, "The Son of Man must suffer much cruelty, be rejected by the Elders and High Priests and Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised to life again."
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.
And He said to all, "If any one is desirous of following me, let him ignore self and take up his cross day by day, and so be my follower.
24 Ulenge na idinin su a tucu liti mye, aba diru, ule na anari litime bara meng aba se utucu.
For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake shall save it.
25 Iyaghari ncaute unit se imon inye vat, anin dira ulai mye?
Why, what benefit is it to a man to have gained the whole world, but to have lost or forfeited his own 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.
For whoever shall have been ashamed of me and my teachings, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own and the Father's glory and in that 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.”
I tell you truly that there are some of those who stand here who will certainly not taste death till they have seen 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.
It was about eight days after this that Jesus, taking with Him Peter, John, and James, went up the mountain to pray.
29 Na adi nliraghe, umuro mye saka, imon mye tunna ipo pau nwaltu.
And while He was praying the appearance of His face underwent a change, and His clothing became white and radiant.
30 Itunna ise amon naba ida idin nliru nanghe, ashe Musa nin Iliya.
And suddenly there were two men conversing with Him, who were Moses and Elijah.
31 Ale na iwa yenje nani gongon, idin nliru kitene nnyiu mye, ule na iba kullu nanya Urushelima.
They came in glory, and kept speaking about His death, which He was so soon to undergo in Jerusalem.
32 Kubi, Bitrus nan nale na iwa di nanghe nmoro wadi nani kang, na izinto, iyene ngongon mye nin nale iwa yisin nanghe.
Now Peter and the others were weighed down with sleep; but, keeping themselves awake all through, they saw His 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.
And when they were preparing to depart from Him, Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, we are thankful to you that we are here. Let us put up three tents--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.
But while he was thus speaking, there came a cloud which spread over them; and they were awe-struck when they had entered into the cloud.
35 Liwui nuzu nanya kuwute liworo, “Gono nighari kane na ina fere lanzan ghe.”
Then there came a voice from within the cloud: "This is My Son, My Chosen One: 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 this voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They kept it to themselves, and said not a word to any one at that time about what they had seen.
37 Ukurtunu nkuiye, na isa unuzu kupara, ligozi nanit da zuro nanghe.
On the following day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great crowd came to meet Him;
38 Umon nanya ligozi gilla a woro, “Unan yiru ndin fofi nacara yene usaun nighe, amere gono nighe cas.
and a man from the crowd called out, "Rabbi, I beg you to pity my son, for he is my only child.
39 Yene Uruhu sa uyaunghe, amalzino, aketize, anutuzuno kupunget nnuwe, na asa usunghe ba, se ushalaghe.
At times a spirit seizes him and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him, and makes him foam at the mouth, and does not leave him till it has well-nigh covered him with bruises.
40 Asa nfo nono katwa fa acara, nshin ninghe na isa iyinno ba.”
I entreated your disciples to expel the spirit, but they could not."
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!" replied Jesus; "how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here to me."
42 Na gone din cinu uduwe agbergenu yaunghe ilina kutyin atunna nketizu. Yesu kpada Uruhu unanzang, ashino nin gone, anin nakpa ucife.
Now while the youth was coming, the spirit dashed him to the ground and cruelly convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured the youth 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 all were awe-struck at the mighty power of God. And while every one was expressing wonder at all that He was doing, He said to his disciples,
44 “Na to tigbulanghe do piit nnit nacara nanit.”
"As for you, store these my sayings in your memory; for, before long, the Son of Man will be betrayed 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 His meaning: it was veiled from them that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
46 Manyardang fita nanya mine, nbelleng nworu ghari ba so udiya mine.
Now there arose a dispute among them, which of them was to be the greatest.
47 Yesu nin yiru nkpilizu nibinai mine, a yicila kagone kabene a yisa likot me,
And Jesus, knowing the reasoning that was in their hearts, took a young child and made him stand by His side
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 said to them, "Whoever for my sake receives this little child, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives Him who sent me. For the lowliest among you all--he is the greatest."
49 Yohanna kauwa, “Cikilari tiyene umong nutuzunu nagbergenu nin lisafe, tinanin wantinghe, bara na adi ndortu nari ba.”
"Rabbi," replied John, "we have seen a man making use of your name to expel demons; and we forbad him, because he does not come with us."
50 Na iwa wantinghe ba, “Ubellun Yesu, vat nlenge na adi nivira nan ghinu ba unminere.”
"Do not forbid him," said Jesus, "for he who is not against you is on your side."
51 Na ayiri nyiu me nda susut aceo umuro me udu Urushelima.
Now when the time drew near for Him to be received up again into Heaven, He proceeded with fixed purpose towards Jerusalem, and sent messengers before Him.
52 Ato anan kadura nbun me, inya ipira kagbir Nsamariya, ikeleghe imone.
They went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make ready for Him.
53 Anite kikane wa tighe mahabi ba, bara amal ciu umuro me udu Urushelima.
But the people there would not receive Him, because He was evidently going to 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 said, "Master, do you wish us to order fire to come down from Heaven and consume them?"
55 A gitirino a kpada nani.
But He turned and rebuked them.
56 Itunna inya udu nkan kagbir.
And they went to another village.
57 Na idin cine libau we, umon woroghe, “Meng ba dofin fi udu kika na uba duu.”
And, as they proceeded on their way, a man came to Him and said, "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.
"The foxes have holes," said Jesus, "and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."
59 Anin woro nmong, “Dofini.” Ame woroghe, “Cikilari ucizine na ndo ndi kassu ucif nigh.”
"Follow me," He said to another. "Master," the man replied, "allow me first to go and bury my father."
60 Ame atimine anan nkul, fe can udi belle piit nin npash uliru kipin tigo Kutelle.”
"Leave the dead," Jesus rejoined, "to bury their own dead; but you must go and announce far and wide the coming of the Kingdom of God."
61 Umong ugang woroghe, “Meng ba dofinfi Cikilari, na ntuu ndi bellin anan kilari nighe meng nya.”
"Master," said yet another, "I will follow you; but allow me first to go and say good-bye to my friends at home."
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.”
Jesus answered him, "No one who has put his hand to the plough, and then looks behind him, is fit for the Kingdom of God.
