Matiyu 19
1 Na ida kubi na yisa mmala tigbulange, a sunna Ugalili, ada nan nya ligan Yahudiya ukafinu kurawa urdu.
At the conclusion of this teaching, Jesus withdrew from Galilee, and went into that district of Judea which is on the other side of the Jordan.
2 Ligozi gbardang dofinghe, a shizino nin ghinu kikane.
Great crowds followed him, and he cured them there.
3 Afarisiyawa da kitime, idumunzun ghe, nbellinghe, “Uduka nyinna nworo unit ko uwani me nan nya nimon ille na uwane tawa?”
Presently some Pharisees came up to him, and, to test him, said: “Has a man the right to divorce his wife for every cause?”
4 Yisa kauwa a woro, “Na anun wa yene ubellu ninyyerte ba, nworu ame ulle na awa ke nani nin gankilime nin uwani?
“Have not you read,” replied Jesus, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’
5 Akuru a woro, 'Bara nanere unit ba cinnu ucif me nin nna me a munu nin nwani me, anwabe ba da so finawa firuma?
and said — ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and be united to his wife, and the man and his wife shall become one’?
6 Nin ndu mbun na awabari ba, finawa firuum bara nani, imon ule na Kutellẹ munu, na umon wa kosu ba.”
So that they are no longer two, but one. What God himself, then, has yoked together man must not separate.”
7 Inugh woroghe, “Ani iyari ntta Musa wa bellin nari tiniza awani bite inyerte nworu ilugma bite nmala anin ko ghe?”
“Why, then,” they said, “did Moses direct that a man should ‘serve his wife with a notice of separation and divorce her’?”
8 A belle nani, “Bara ngbas niibinai minere Musa wa sun muunu iko awani mine, nin nburne na nanere wandi ba.
“Moses, owing to the hardness of your hearts,” answered Jesus, “permitted you to divorce your wives, but that was not so at the beginning.
9 Meng bellin munu, vat ulle na ko uwani me andi na kulapi nzina ba amini ndi yira uumon, asu kulapin nzina, unit ule na adi yira uwani ule na ina ko ghe asu uzina.”
But I tell you that any one who divorces his wife, except on the ground of her unchastity, and marries another woman, is guilty of adultery.”
10 Nono kadura belle Yisa ku, “Andi nanere ubellen ngankilime nin nwani, na ucaun isu ilugma ba.”
“If that,” said the disciples, “is the position of a man with regard to his wife, it is better not to marry.”
11 Yisa woro nani, “Na koghari ba yinnu ninle uduursuze ba, se allenge cas na ina yinin nani iseru unin.
“It is not every one,” replied Jesus, “who can accept this teaching, but only those who have been enabled to do so.
12 Bara amon duku iwa machu nani sa tinanilime mine. Amon tutun annitari wa gbaru nani. Amon asa inughere ta atimine ku bara kipin tigo Kutellẹ. Ame ulle na adini su seru ulle udursuze, na a seru unin.”
Some men, it is true, have from birth been disabled for marriage, while others have been disabled by their fellow men, and others again have disabled themselves for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. Let him accept it who can.”
13 Iwa da nin nono nibebene kitime anan tarda nani acara me na ti mine ati nlira, nono katwa me kpada nani.
Then some little children were brought to Jesus, for him to place his hands on them, and pray; but the disciples found fault with those who had brought them.
14 Yisa woro, “Sunan nono nibebene, na iwa wantin nani udak kiti nighe ba, kipin tigo Kutellẹ di kin nimuwsu minere.”
Jesus, however, said: “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for it is to the childlike that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs.”
15 A tarda nani acara me, a tunna anya kitene.
So he placed his hands on them, and then went on his way.
16 Umon unit da kitin Yisa a woro, “Unan dursuzu kiti, iyapin imon iciniari mma su nnan se ulai un sali ligangha?” (aiōnios g166)
And a man came up to Jesus, and said: “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain Immortal Life?” (aiōnios g166)
17 Yisa woroghe, “In yaghari nta uminin ntirini ubelen nimon igegeme? Unit urumari cas di gegeme, nan nya nani andi udi nin su use ulai nsali ligang, dorto uuduke.”
“Why ask me about goodness?” answered Jesus. “There is but One who is good. If you want to enter the Life, keep the commandments.”
18 Unite woroghe, “Uyeme uduka?” Yisa woro, “Yenje nwa mollu unit yenje uwa nozo nin na wani, namon yenje uwa su likiri, yenje uwa su kinu,
“What commandments?” asked the man. “These,” answered Jesus: — “‘Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not say what is false about others.
19 gyantina ucif fe nin nafi ne unin ti usu nnan kupo fe nafo litife.”
Honour thy father and thy mother.’ And ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thou dost thyself.”
20 Kwanyane woroghe, “Ilenge imone vat nna su. Iyaghari kuru iduyi?”
“I have observed all these,” said the young man. “What is still wanting in me?”
21 Yisa woroghe, “Andi udi nin su use ukulu, can, lewe imon ilenge na udimun, uni nikimon, uma se imon nacara kitene. Kani unin dak, udofi ni.”
“If you wish to be perfect,” answered Jesus, “go and sell your property, and give to the poor, and you shall have wealth in Heaven; then come and follow me.”
22 Na kwanyane nlanza imon ilenge na Yisa nbelle, anya nin tinana nayi, bara awa di nin nimon nacara gbardang.
On hearing these words, the young man went away distressed, for he had great possessions.
23 Yisa woro nnono katwa me, “Mbellin minu kidegene, udin konu unan nimon nacara ghana kitene kani.
At this, Jesus said to his disciples: “I tell you that a rich man will find it hard to enter the Kingdom of Heaven!
24 Nkuru nbellin minu, nworu uman nimon nacara piru kipin tigo Kutellẹ, ukatin nin shew kurakomi piru ligalon nalira.”
I say again, it is easier for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven!”
25 Na nono katwa me nlanza nani, umamaki kifo nani kang i woro, “Ani ghari wasa ase utucue?”
On hearing this, the disciples exclaimed in great astonishment: “Who then can possibly be saved?”
26 Yisa yene nani aworo, “Kiti na nanit udin konu, kiti Kutellẹ vat nimon in suari.”
But Jesus looked at them, and said: “With men this is impossible, but with God everything is possible.” Then Peter turned and said to Jesus:
27 Biturus ttunna akpana a woroghe, “Yene, tina sun imon vat ti dofin fi. Ani iyaghari arik ba se?”
“But we — we left everything, and followed you; what, then, shall we have?”
28 Yisa woro nani, “Mbbellin minu kidegene, anughe na ina dofini, nan nmaru upese na gono Kutellẹ ma so kutet tigo me, anung wang ma so na tet likure nin na ba, isu ushara nnonon Israila likure nin naba.
“I tell you,” answered Jesus, “that at the New Creation, ‘when the Son of Man takes his seat on his throne of glory,’ you who followed me shall be seated upon twelve thrones, as judges of the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Vat nlenge na a suna nilari, nuana nilime, nuana nishono, ucif, una, nono sa kumen bara lisanin, ama seru mmari akalt likure a ulai un sa ligang. (aiōnios g166)
Every one who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or land, on account of my Name, will receive many times as much, and will ‘gain Immortal Life.’ (aiōnios g166)
30 Nan nya nnani gbardang na idi anan cizunu nene mada so anan kidung, a gbardang na idi anan kidung maso anan bun.
But many who are first now will then be last, and those who are last will be first.
