Jesus called his twelve disciples together and gave them power to throw out evil spirits, and to heal all kinds of diseases and sicknesses.

These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, (also called Peter), Andrew his brother, James the son of Zebedee, John his brother,

5 Ahi wlo don ha biyi mba Yesu a ton ba nda hla ni bawu, “Nahi nibiwa bana Israilawa na ni gbu bi Samariyawa na.
These Twelve Jesus sent out, telling them, “Don't go to the foreigners, or to any Samaritan city.
6 Hi ni nt'ma u koh Israila wa ba kado'a megyen.
You are to go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 Bita zren sihi bika ta hla tre Rji, ndi tre, 'mulki shulu tie wiewiere.'
Wherever you go, tell the people, ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’
8 Den bi lilo, ta' k'mo shine, bi kpurju, mla batie tsratsra ndi ju me'me' brji rju. Bi kpa magyen, biyi me bika nno megyen.
Heal those who are sick. Resurrect the dead. Cure the lepers. Drive out demons. You received freely, so give freely!
9 Na nji ba' zinariya, azurfa, u dra nimi kpo mbi na.
Don't carry any gold, silver, or copper coins in your pockets,
10 Na nji mbu u zren na ka inklon ha' ka lagbom ka kpa'la' na, e' indi u ndu ahe nkon u la'ma.
or a bag for your journey, or two cloaks, or sandals, or a walking stick, for a worker deserves to be supported.
11 Igbu wa bi ria, rligra ma ka tsitsima, bika wa indi u totie ndi son kima mla nton wa bi wlua.
Wherever you go, whatever town or village, ask for someone who lives according to good principles, and remain there until you leave.
12 Bita' ni' ri ni koh bika ciu.
When you enter the house, give it your blessing.
13 Ikoh'a nita ikoh waani son sia, isi mbi ni hu ba. Ani ta ha'ma, isi mbi ni k'ma ye yiwu.
If the home deserves it, let your peace rest on it, but if it doesn't deserve it, let your peace return to you.
14 Biwa ba'ta kamba ni kpayi ka ni woyi, bita ni don gbu'a ka koh'a, bika kpon wru u za'mbi hle bawu.
If someone doesn't welcome you, and refuses to listen to what you have to say, then leave that house or that town, shaking its dust off your feet as you go.
15 Njanjimu, me hla yiwu, ni vi u Rji, ba sutie ni ndi bi Sodom mba Gomora zan gbu biki.
I tell you the truth, it will be better for Sodom and Gomorrah at the Day of Judgment than for that town!
16 Tomba, mi tonyi ni hi na ntama ni tsutsu tsi,' nayi, bika wierli too won ndi na bi tie me'me' na too nghu.
Look, I'm sending you out like sheep among wolves. So be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
17 Tie srensren ni ndi! Ba njiyi hi bi ninkon u tra Rji u ba tsiyi ni gbugban.
Watch out for those who will hand you over to be tried by town councils and will whip you in their synagogues.
18 Ba njiyi hi ba gona ni ba chu ni tu mu ni ndu ba ni biwa ba Israilawa na toh me.
You will be dragged before governors and kings because of me, to witness to them and to the foreigners.
19 Bati vuyi nno ba, bikana tamre ndi ahi ngye ka anihe mi tre na. Ba nno kpu'a u tre'a ni nton kima.
But when they put you on trial, don't worry about how you should speak or what you should say, because you'll be told what to say at the right time.
20 Ana hiwu ba u tre na, ahi Brji u tieme mba nitre rju zu nyu mbi.
For it isn't you who will speak but the spirit of the Father will speak through you.
21 Vayi ni nno vayima wu', atie ivren ma ngame. Imrli ba wlu tie meme ni batie mba nda ndu ba wu ba.
Brother will betray brother and have him killed, and a father will do the same to his child. Children will rebel against their parents, and have them put to death.
22 Konha ni kranyi nitu ndemu. U wa avu sron hi kle nton'a, ani gbujbu.
Everyone will hate you because you follow me, but those who endure until the end will be saved.
23 Bata tieyi dii ni mi gbu, tsutsu hi niwa a wie niwu'a. Njanjimu me hle yiwu, bina zren hle gbu Israila na rli ivren ndi kaye.
When you're persecuted in one town, run away to the next. I'm telling the truth: you won't finish going to the towns of Israel before the Son of man comes.
24 Mrli koh bana nna' tie koh mba na, vigran na zan bacima na.
Disciples are not more important than their teacher; servants are not more important than their master.
25 A mla ndu vren koh ndu he na tiekoh ma u gran kahe to bacima. U bati yoh indi u koh nda hi Ba'alzabu, kaba kpande bi koh ki tie me'me' ndandime!
Disciples should be satisfied to become like their teacher, and servants like their master. If the head of the house has been called the head demon Beelzebub, then the members of his household will be demonized even more!
26 Tokiyi bikana tie sisri mba na, e ikpie'a ba kawu a ba bwuu, u wa ahe riirii'a ba hla wu rju rah.
So don't be frightened of them, for there's nothing covered that won't be exposed, and nothing hidden that won't be made known.
27 Ikpiea me hla yiwu ni bwua, hla wu ni kplende rji, u kpie wa ba tre yiwu ni ton'a, d'buu ni tutra.
What I tell you here in the dark, declare when it's light, and what you hear whispered in your ear, shout from the rooftops.
28 Na klu sisri bi wu kpandi na, wa bana toh wu dri na. Klu wa ani toh wa kpa'a nda tru dri'a yo ni kpaca lu. (Geenna g1067)
Don't be afraid of those who can kill you physically, but can't kill you spiritually. Instead, be afraid of the one who can destroy you physically and spiritually in the fires of destruction. (Geenna g1067)
29 Bana le mrli cincen harli nitu vi kubuna? Iri mba mitie bre joku hama ni y'me tie mbi.
Aren't two sparrows sold for just one penny? But not a single one of them falls to the ground without your Father knowing about it.
30 'E' futu mbi me a toh blawo.
Even the hairs on your head have all been counted.
31 Na klu sisri na. Itimbi nna u cincen gbugbuwu.
So don't worry—you're worth more than many sparrows!
32 Ahe nakiyi ndi ko nha wa a ny'me nime ni k'bu ndai, me y'me niwu ni k'bu tie mu wa ahe shulu'a.
Anyone who publicly declares their commitment to me, I will also declare my commitment to them before my Father in heaven.
33 Ama iwaa ana nyme ni me ni shishi ndina me ngame mina nyme ni wu ni shishi timu wa a he ni shulu na
But anyone who publicly denies me, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.
34 “Na yamba ndi mi nji si ye ngbungblu yina. Mina nji si ye nno na ahi takobi.
Don't think I've come to bring peace on earth. I haven't come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 Meye vu tu ndi wru ni tiema, u vrenwa ni yima, u wa ni yima.
I've come ‘to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36 Bi kran ndi bahe bi koma.
Your enemies will be those of your own family!’
37 Twa a son tiema ka yima nna me'a, ana mla wa ani umuna. U wa a son vren ma ka vrenwa ma nna me, ana mla wa ani umu'a na.
If you love your father or mother more than me you don't deserve to be mine, and if you love your son or daughter more than me you don't deserve to be mine.
38 Wa ana ban gran kukron ma nda hume na, ana mla wa ani umu na.
If you don't pick up your cross and follow me you don't deserve to be mine.
39 I wa ani hra tuma'a ani nado, uwa ani nno tuma, ani fe wu.
If you try to save your life, you will lose it, but if you lose your life because of me you will save it.
40 Wa a kpayia, a kpame ngame.
Those who welcome you welcome me, and those who welcome me welcome the one that sent me.
41 Wa a kpame a, akpa wa a ton me'a. Wa akpa anebi a, ani kpa dii u anebi. U wa akpa u tie zizia ni tu wa ahi indi u zizi, ani kpa diima na ndi u zizi me.
Those who welcome a prophet because that's what they are will receive the same reward as a prophet. Those who welcome someone who does right will receive the same reward as someone who does right.
42 Wa a nno ri ni mi mrli bi tsitsa biyi, ka a ndi mma ni vi kofi me, nituwa vren kohmu'a, nkponjimu, me hla yiwa ana hon dii mana”.
I tell you the truth, those who give a drink of cool water to the least important of my disciples will definitely not miss out on their reward.”
