< Luka 6 >

1 la ma nyo kakuk fobka ko kange, Yeecu yakenti mor to cang ko kange, kange bibei tomange ceu, ci kyang dor canger ti citi kui
One Sabbath while Jesus was walking through grainfields, his disciples began picking some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.
2 la kangem mor faricawa tokiki, ye bwi ka ma dike yorbo ti a mani bi diye kukuk, ka kiye for ka?
Some of the Pharisees questioned him, asking, “Why are you doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?”
3 Yeecu kar cinen, toti, ka kiye ba dike Dauda mani kwama co co nuwa wuri ti co kange nubo wari kange ceu?
Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his men were hungry?
4 ya mor luwe kwama, con tu cari to tanji laneu ca morece, con nabarubo wari kange ceu ciu cam, bwen no na mam kin nob wabereu ki kwaci cia ca
How he went into the house of God and took the consecrated bread? He ate it, and gave it to his men too. That's not permitted either. The consecrated bread is only for the priests.”
5 la con yii ci, bibwe nifire co teluwe kankuk fobka ko
Then he told them, “The Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
6 kange bi diye kakuk fobka con doken mor bi kur waber la co meranmbo minti wi, nii kange wi wi wuro kance ko catiyero bwiyam-bwiya
On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue to teach. A man was there with a crippled right hand.
7 nob mulangkabo kange faricawa to co tibi dor kero can twa nii ni kakuk fobkari na cin fiyan mure wo ci a tamco tiyeu,
The religious teachers and the Pharisees were observing Jesus closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. They wanted to find something to accuse him of.
8 la con nyumom dike ci kwa tiyeu la con yii nii wo kangko bwiyame kwen ti fo tiber nubero gwam la nii wo kweni titi wi.
But Jesus knew what was in their minds. He told the man with the crippled hand, “Get up, and stand here in front of everyone.” The man got up and stood there.
9 Yeecu me ci yori kebo bi diye kakuk fobka a dike yor yoreu, kaka a ma dike wo yorbeu a cok dume kaka a tual dume?
Then Jesus turned to them and said, “Let me ask you a question. Is it legal to do good on the Sabbath, or to do bad? To save life, or to destroy it?”
10 la con cto ci gwam la co yii nii wo yarken kangmweko, la con manyo, la kang cebo twam
He looked round at all of them there. Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man did so, and his hand became like new.
11 la neer ciyero kayaragum, lacin tok kanti bwiti ciye dike ca ma Yeecu nin tiyeu
But they flew into a rage, and began to discuss what they could do to Jesus.
12 lan yilam mor kumeni wo con ceri con yaken bang ca kob dilo con ta kobka dilo kume del co ken kwama ti
One day shortly after, Jesus went up a mountain to pray. He remained there all night, praying to God.
13 ki kakuk la con co bibei tomange ceu cinen la con cokum kwob cilom bo yobeu, wo co co cibitikali,
When morning came he called together his disciples, and chose twelve of them. These are the names of the apostles:
14 denti bi beitomange ceu co buro cimon [wo co caten tak, Bitru ] kange yii Andrawu, Yakubu, Yuwawana, Filibu, Bartalomi,
Simon (also called Peter by Jesus), Andrew his brother, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
15 Matta, Toma, Yakubu bibwe Afa, cimon wo ca co Jaloti
Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Revolutionary,
16 Yafuja, bi bwe Yakubu, kange Yafuja ckaryoti wo miye co tiyeu,
Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot (who became a traitor).
17 la Yeecu yirau dor banged kange ci laci tim fiye tuared deu, kange bi bwi tomange ce wila kange nubo kila wo borongu Yafudiya kange wurcalima kange nubo kong caji taya
Jesus went back down the mountain with them, and stopped at a place where there was some flat ground. There a crowd made up of his disciples and many other people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, had gathered to listen to him and to be cured from their diseases.
18 ci bou na ci buro wo nuwa co na co twam twirani ciyeu, nubo buro nuwa dotange ti ki yuwa kelkelikeu con twam ci ken.
Those who were troubled by evil spirits were also healed.
19 nubo mwerkangum we gwameu dotina ci kem co wori bikwan twa ka ro ceru ti cinen, la con twan ci gwam.
Everyone in the crowd tried to touch him, because power was coming out from him and healing them all.
20 la con to bi bei tomangeceu. con yii ci bibuyer kume kom wo nob bune beu la na kume liyar kwamaro
Looking at his disciples, Jesus told them,
21 bi buyero an kume, kom wo konuwa wurati naweu, la ci an bwa kumen fuer bibuyer na kume, kom wo ko ci wiye tina weu, la kan nung nungi
“How happy are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours. How happy are you who are hungry now, for you will eat all you need. How happy are you who are weeping now, for you will laugh.
22 bibuyero na kume to kom la ci ko denkumero na dikero bwir, ki ker bi bwe nir
How happy are you when people hate you, exclude you, insult you, and curse your name as evil because of me, the Son of man.
23 ko bilangi diye co ko yilam ki for neerer, wori kan fiya cuner dikwama nubo carem cim ma nob du kumebo nin nawo
When that day comes, be happy. Jump for joy, for great is your reward in heaven. Don't forget their forefathers mistreated the prophets just like this.
24 la kwan nen mo nii mwa cuwe-cuweu, la mom yom mwe dangne mweu
But how sad are you who are rich, for you have already received your reward.
25 kwan kom nubo wo fuero bwam bwabeu, kan ci wura for kob kwan kom wo ko nung nungi ti na weu, yii kan buwa kan ci wiye ki bui.
How sad are you who are full now, for you will become hungry. How sad are you who laugh now, for you will mourn and cry.
26 kwan kom na nubo tok ti ki wo dong dong di, nubo carem cimbo tok nyo nob dukumeb cwerkebo
How sad are you when everyone praises you. Don't forget that their forefathers praised false prophets just like this.
27 la ma yii komti nubo ko nuwa ye tiyeu, cui nii bi dom kange mweu, na ma nubo konene nin dike ro ken
But I say to those of you who are listening: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you.
28 yo nubo cilnen tiye nin bibuyer, na kob nubo buro culong nen ti dor bilenkereu
Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you.
29 wo na kwanen ki kang tangal do wineri, neco wineu na kange tum belle mweri tamde mwe
If someone hits you on one cheek, turn the other cheek. If someone takes your coat, don't prevent them taking your shirt.
30 ne nuwa wuro meneneu gwam na kange tum dike kangen na mweri me core moki a bou mwen ciko
Give to anyone who asks you. If someone takes something from you, don't ask for it back.
31 kambo mo cuilti nubo a ma mweneri, mo keneu ma ci nen nyo
Do to others what you want them to do to you.
32 na moki cuim ka co ka co nubo cuinen tiyeri, in jye yokka fiye mo wiye? bwen na nob bwirang kerer di cui nubo cui ci tiyeu.
If you love those who love you, why should you deserve any credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them.
33 na moki mam dikero ken kan co nubo ma mwen dikero ken tiyeri ye yokka fiye weye? bwen no nob bwirang keri ki mam nyo ken
If you do good to those who do good to you, why should you deserve any credit for that either? Sinners do that as well.
34 na wo ki ne cen kan nubo mo totiri an yam neneri, ye yokka munen? bwen no nob buiran kerer di ki nem nob bwiram kerero nyou na ci fiya dike ci ne dng-dong
If you lend money expecting to be repaid, why should you deserve any credit for that? Sinners lend money to other sinners as well, expecting to be repaid what they loaned.
35 la cui koneneu, na ma cinen dike dong-dong ngeu. ne ken kware kange diker yilau ti, la cuner, kumero na dur, kan yilam bi beyo lo nii dii ko na co con ni lomjome fiye nubo man ki buka kangek kange nubo bwirko
No: love your enemies, do good to them, and lend without expecting to be repaid anything. Then you will receive a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High God, for he is kind to ungrateful and wicked people.
36 yilam ki cini na wo tee kume nii ciniu
Be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.
37 kom mare buolang la mani a ma kumen buolang ti kom kuwa re mani a kuwa komti, tab kangem bo la mweu an tab mwen
Don't judge, and you won't be judged; don't condemn, and you won't be condemned; forgive, and you'll be forgiven;
38 kom ne la an ne kom kwele dimdiye, cuwam cuwa, ki bi funger ti con ci an cor kumer ti kan bellik ki kwele ka cuwameu a cuwa kumen ciko
give, and you will be given generously in return. When what you're given is measured out, it's pressed down so more can be added, spilling out over the top, pouring into your lap! For how much you give will determine how much you receive.”
39 la yila con yii ten ci dangke kange, con toki, fukma an ta fukma nin kangka? na co ma nyon, yaramken buwar gwam citi cimanin nyoka?
Then he illustrated the point: “Can a blind person lead another? Wouldn't they both fall into a ditch?
40 bwe tomange labo nii merang ka ceu dur la nubo gwam an yilam na nii merang kako na merang cinendi
Do students know more than the teacher? Only when they've learned everything: then they will be like their teacher.
41 ye bwi mo toti ka be yere nuwa kemwe, lamwa tobo cuwemero wo nuwe mweu
Why are you so worried about the speck that's in your brother's eye when you don't even notice the plank that's in your own eye?
42 mwa yii yimwe myi, moki yii mi tumwen be yere dam mor nuweu, lamoki bwi mwa tobo kukko cuwe mero dam mor nuwe mweu? kom nubo bwir, teri cokum batiye durko nuwe mweu na mo tom yora na mo cokum be yere nuwe yiim weu
How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that's in your eye,’ when you don't even see the plank that's in your own eye? Hypocrite! Take out the plank from your own eye first, and then you'll be able to see well enough to take out the speck from your brother's eye.
43 la tiyo kendo kange mani wo tu bi tutiyo fuyem fuye tiye, kaka tiyo wo fuyemeu na ne betuti ken
A good tree doesn't produce bad fruit, and a bad tree doesn't produce good fruit.
44 wori tiyo moki nyomco kin bitutico tutiyeu la nubo mani we bituti nying cire ti cuiya ke kaka nubo inabi fiye cilange
You recognize a tree by the fruit it produces. You don't pick figs from thorn bushes, or harvest grapes from brambles.
45 nii ken mor dikero kendo dume ceu a bou dikero yor yoreu, nyou nii bwirko mor dikero bwirko mor neere ceu, a bou dikero bwir wori dikero bwirko ducce mor neere ceu co ci ceu toktiye
Good people produce what's good from the good things they value that they have stored inside them. Bad people produce what's bad from the bad things they have stored inside them. What fills people's minds spills out in what they say.
46 ye bwikaco yeti kom ki, teluwe laka bwantenbo dike ma tok tiyeu?
So why do you bother to call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ when you don't do what I say?
47 nii wo na bou minen la nuwa ker mereu laco bwang tenen, man yii dii ke co cerkange
I'll give you an example of someone who comes to me, hears my instructions, and follows them.
48 co ki no nan nii luwe tiye, woru wobken cuwa mor bitinen la co mu kwar loro ki terenti kwamer lana mwembo dur bouri la came mwegweu kwanan kwar kumeroti laluwe cuwo mani a muka ti wori mum co yora
That person is like a man building a house. He digs down deep and lays the foundations on solid rock. When the river bursts its banks and the floodwater breaks against the house it's not damaged because it's built so well.
49 la nii nuwa ker miro bwang ten beu no nan co nii wo mu luwe dor bitinereu man ki kwar ca na came mwem bo kwanan kwar kuro di la can can duwo an yarum, yarke luwe kowo
The person who hears me but doesn't do what I say is like a man who builds a house without foundations. When the floodwater breaks against the house it collapses immediately, completely destroyed.”
