Matio 10
1 Jesu den yini o piiga n hoadikaliediba ki dini ba li bali ki puni ba u paalu ban yaa deli ki ñandi mu cicibiadimu mun ye yaaba yaa niinni, ki go yaa paagidi bi niba leni ban pia yaa yianbuoli leni yaa tadinbuoli.
He told [us] twelve disciples to come to him. Then he gave us the power/authority to expel evil spirits [that controlled people]. He also enabled [us] to heal all people who had diseases or who were sick.
2 Bi piiga n tondiliediba yeni yela n tie na. Yua n kpia, Simono ban go yi yua Pieli leni o waalo Andile, Sebede bijua Jaka leni o waalo Jan,
[Here is a list of us] twelve [disciples whom he called] apostles ([which means ‘messengers’]): Simon, [to whom he gave the new name] Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James, the son of Zebedee; John, the [younger] brother of James;
3 Filipi leni Batelemi, Toma leni o lubigaalo Matiyu, Alife bijua Jaka leni Tade,
Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; me, Matthew, the tax collector; James, the [son] of Alpheus; Thaddeus;
4 Simono ban go yi yua o yankuadaano leni Judasa Isikalioto yua n den yuandi ki janbi Jesu.
Simon, a member of the party [that wanted to overthrow the Roman government; ] and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), who [later] enabled [the Jewish leaders] to seize Jesus.
5 Bani n tie Jesu n den soani o piiga n niliediba yaaba ki teni ba yaa ñoabonli n tie na:
When Jesus was [about to] send [us] twelve [apostles to tell his message to people in various places], he gave [us] these instructions: “Do not go where the non-Jews live [MTY] or into the towns [where the] Samaritans live, [because they hate you].
6 Da gedi mani bi nilanba po, ki da kua Samali yaaba doni nni mo, ama yi gedi Isalee buolu yaaba po, bani yaaba n tie nani yaa pe n yaadi yeni.
Instead, go to the people of Israel [SYN] who have [gone away from God like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET].
7 Yin tagi naankani kuli, yin yaa wangi ke U Tienu diema kuli.
When you go [to them], proclaim to them that God [EUP/MTY] will soon begin to rule over people.
8 Yin yaa paagidi a yiama, ki fiindi bi tinkpiba, ki hanbidi a kpaada, ki deli mu cicibiadimu. Yi den baa fanma, yi mo n yaa puuni fanma.
Heal sick people, cause dead people to become alive, heal people who have leprosy, and cause demons to leave people [who are controlled by them] {[whom demons control]}. Do not charge money [for helping people, because God] did not charge you anything [for helping you].
9 Da huuni mani wula, yaaka halinjufa, yaaka ligi kuli yi huuni nni,
Do not take any money with you [MTY], nor a knapsack. Do not take an extra shirt, nor sandals [in addition to what you are wearing], nor a walking stick. Every worker deserves to get pay [from the people for whom he works], [so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
10 ki da ta sancenboagili, yaaka liaditadimu lie, yaaka cacaadi, yaaka gbianu, kelima o tuonsoanlo pundi ki baa o bonjekaala.
11 Yin kua yaa dociamu nni leni yaa dowaali nni kuli, yin buali ki bandi yaa nilo n baa tuo ki ga yi cangu ya ye likani. Yin caani o ya deni hali yin baa fii ya yogunu.
In whatever town or village you enter, find out which person is worthy [that you should stay in his home]. And as you go into that house, [ask God to] bless the people [who live there] [MTY]. Stay in that home until you leave [that town or village].
12 Yi ya kua ya diegu nni kuli, yin fuondi ba ki yedi: Mi yanduanma n yaa ye leni yi.
13 Yi ya sua ke ku diegu nni yaaba ga yi cangu, yin gaali ba ya yanduanma n yaa ye leni ba. Ama bi yaa ga yi cangu mo, yi gaali n guani yikani.
If the people who live in [MTY] that house are worthy [of being blessed] {[God blessing them]}, [God] will bless them. If the people who live in that house are not worthy [of being blessed] {[of God blessing them]}, [God] will bless you [instead of blessing them].
14 Bi yaa tuo ki ga yi cangu dieguba nni leni doguba nni kuli, kaa cengi yi maama mo, yi yaa ña likani, yi kpia ba yi taatama.
If the people [who live in any house or town] do not welcome you [to their home or town], nor listen to your message, leave that house or town. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [By doing that, you will warn them that God will punish them for rejecting your message].
15 N waani yi i moamnoani, ti buudi daali Sodoma leni Gomola yaaba yaa fala kan pundi laa dogu yaaba yaa fala.
Note this carefully: [At the time when God] judges [all people, he] will punish [the people who lived in] Sodom and Gomorrah [MTY], [the ancient cities which God destroyed because their people were extremely wicked]. But in any town where the people [MTY] refuse to hear your message, God will punish them even more severely.”
16 Cengi mani: N soani yi nani i pe yeni i fuasangbanli siiga. Yin yaa fani nani i we yeni, ki go yaa dingi nani mu kpaajiemu yeni.
“Take note: After I send you out, [you will be as defenseless] as sheep [MET] in the midst of [people who are as dangerous as] wolves. So you should wisely [stay away from such people, like you stay away from poisonous] snakes [SIM]. You should be as harmless as doves are [SIM].
17 Fangi mani yi yula leni bi niba, kelima bi baa co ki caani yi li bujiali kani.
Also, be on guard against [our religious leaders]. They will arrest you and take you to the members of the religious councils [to put you on trial and punish you because you are my disciples]. You will be whipped {The local leaders will whip you} [in] their meeting places.
18 Bi baa pua yi i baliji li balimaama bangima diena nni. Bi baa caani yi gufeneelinba kani leni bi badiba kelima n yaa po, ke yin tua bipo seedi bani leni bi nilanba po kuli.
[And] because [you teach] about me, you will be taken {[the religious leaders] will take you} to governors and kings [in order that they may put you on trial and punish you]. As a result, you will testify to those rulers and to [other] non-Jews [about what I have done].
19 Bi ya ti cuo ki gedini yi li bujiali kani yaa yogunu, yin da yagi mani yi yama yin baa maadi maama leni yin baa yedi yaala kuli po, kelima lanyogunu bi baa pa yi yin baa yedi yaala.
When [the religious leaders] arrest you, do not be worried about what you will say [to them], because at that very time [the] Holy Spirit will tell you the words that you should say.
20 Kelima laa tie yinba ka baa maadi, yi Baa Fuoma, yaama n ye niinni, n baa maadi.
It is not that you [will decide what to] say. Instead, you will say what the Spirit of your [heavenly] Father tells [you to say].
21 Kpelo leni waalo siiga, bi tianba baa cuo biyaba ki teni bqan kpa ba. Bibaanba baa cuo bi bila ki teni ban kpa ba. A bila mo baa fii ki sedi bi danba po ki cuo ba ki teni ban kpa ba.
[You will be taken] {[People who do not believe in me will] take you} to the authorities to be killed [because you believe in me. For example], people will betray their brothers, and fathers will betray their children. Children will rebel against their parents and cause [them] to be killed.
22 Bi niba kuli baa nani yi kelima n yeli po. Ama yua n baa juuni hali mi juodima baa tindi.
Many people will hate you [because you believe in me]. Nevertheless, [many people] will keep on believing in me until they die. They are the people whom [God] will take to live with him.
23 Bi ya waani yi o falabiado doyendu, sani mani ki gedi dotogu. N waani yi i moamoani, yi kan gaani Isalele yaaba dogi nni kuli ki gbeni ke o Joa Bijua daa cua.
When people in one town cause you to suffer, escape to another town [and tell the people there about me]. Note this: [I], the one who came down from heaven, will certainly return [to earth] before you have finished going from one town to another town throughout Israel [and telling people about me].
24 O hoadikoa ki cie o canba, o naaceno mo ki cie o daano.
A disciple should not [expect to be] greater than his teacher, and servants [are not] superior to their master.
25 Li dagidi o hoadikoa n ya tie nani o canba, o naaceno mo n ya tie nani o daano yeni. Bi ya yini o diedaano Belisebu, laa pia tam ke bi baa sugi o diegu nni yaaba ki cie.
You do not [expect that] people will [treat] a disciple better than [they treat] his teacher, or that [they will treat] a servant [better than they treat] his master. [Similarly, because I am your teacher and master, you can expect that people will mistreat you, because they have mistreated me]. The most you can expect is that people [will treat you like they treat me. I am like] the ruler of a household [MET]. But people [have insulted me by] calling [me] Beelzebub, [the ruler of the demons]. So they [will] certainly [insult you more, you who are only like] members of my household [MET]!”
26 Lanwani yin da jie ba, kelima liba kuli ki ye ki wuo ki kan wuodi. Liba kuli ki ye ki duagi ke bi kan bandi la.
“Do not be afraid of [people who insult you and do evil things to you. God wants] everything that is unknown now to be revealed {[God wants you to] reveal everything [that is unknown now]}. [He does] not [want his truth] to remain hidden [MET] and kept secret [DOU].
27 Min yedi yi yaala li biigili nni, waani la mani u yensiinu, Ban soabidi yaama yi tuba nni, kpaani la mani a diena po.
[So, instead of being afraid], what I say to you [secretly as people do] at night [MTY], tell [publicly as people do] during the daytime [MTY]. What I [say to you privately as people do when they] whisper to you [MTY], proclaim publicly [MTY, DOU].
28 Da jie mani yaaba n baa kpa ti gba nnandi, ama ki kan fidi ki kpa o naano. Ama yin ya jie mani yua n baa fidi ki bolini o naano leni ti gbannandi kuli ku fantanbuogu nni. (Geenna g1067)
Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill your body [SYN] but are not able to destroy your soul. Instead, fear [God because] he is able to destroy both a [person’s] body and a [person’s] soul in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 Baa kuadi nuani lie lie ka falimi? Ama baa nuanyenga bi siiga ban baa tiipo ke yi Baa U Tienu ki bani.
[Think about the] sparrows. [They have so little value] that [you] can buy cares two of them for [only] one small coin [RHQ]. But when [any] sparrow falls to the ground [and dies] [LIT], [God], your [heavenly] Father, knows it, [because he cares about everything].
30 To, yinba baa yi yudi, yi Baa bani ti coali n da maama.
[He cares about you, too]. He even knows how many hairs you have on your head!
31 Lanwani yin da jie mani pu kuli, yi pia mayuli ki cie i nuani boncianla.
[God] values you much more than he values sparrows [LIT]. So, do not be afraid [of people who threaten to kill you]
32 Lani yaa po yua n tuo nni bi niba nintuali, n moko baa tuo o n Baa yua n ye tanpoli nintuali.
If people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], I will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven [that they are my disciples].
33 Ama yua n nia nni bi niba nintuali, n moko baa nia o n Baa yua n ye tanpoli nintuali.
But if they are afraid to say in front of others that they are my [disciples], I will tell my Father, who is in heaven, [that] they are not [my disciples].”
34 Yin da tama ke n cua ki baa teni mi yanduanma n ya ye handuna nni ka. Mii cua ki baa teni mi yanduanma ka n yaa ye, ama n cuani bu toabu.
“Do not think that I came to earth to cause [people] to live together harmoniously. The result of my coming is that [some of those who follow me] [MTY] will be killed.
35 Kelima n cua ki baa teni ki bonjaga n paadi leni o baa, ki bonpuoga n paadi leni o naa, ki biyuaga n paadi leni o yaanaa.
Because I came [to earth, people who do not believe in me] will oppose [those who do believe in me. For example], some sons will oppose their fathers, some daughters will oppose their mothers, and some daughters-in-law will oppose their mothers-in-law.
36 O nilo yibalinba baa tie o diegu nni yaaba.
[This shows that sometimes] a person’s enemies will be members of his own household.
37 Yua n bua o baa yaaka o naa ki cie mini, waa pundi ki yaa tie n hoadikoa. Yua n bua o bijua yaaka o bisalo ki cie nni, waa pundi ki yaa tie n hoadikoa.
People who love their fathers or mothers more than [they love] me are not worthy to [have a relationship with me]. And people who love their sons or daughters more than [they love] me are not worthy [to belong to] me.
38 Yua n kaa taa o dapoanpoanli ki bugi ki hoa nni, waa pundi ki yaa tie n hoadikoa.
[People who are ready to execute a prisoner force him to] carry a cross [to the place where they will nail him to it] [MET]. Those who are not [willing to allow other people to hurt and disgrace them like that because of being my disciples] are not worthy to belong to me.
39 Yua n bua ki kubi o miali baa biani li. Ama yua n baa biani o miali kelima mini yaa po baa le li.
People who [deny that they believe in me in order to escape being killed] will not live [with God eternally] [MET], but people who [confess that they believe in] me and, [as a result are] killed, will live [with God eternally] [MET].”
40 Yua n ga yi cangu ga mini ya cangoe, yua n ga n cangu mo ga yua soani nni yaague.
“[God considers that] everyone who welcomes you, welcomes me [SIM], and [he considers that] everyone who welcomes me welcomes [him], the one who sent me [SIM].
41 Yua n ga o sawalipualo cangu kelima o tie sawalipualo po, baa baa o sawalipualo n baa baa yaa panpaani. Yua n ga o nitginkoa cangu kelima o tie nitenginkoa po, baa baa o niteginkoa n baa baa yaa panpaani.
Those who welcome [someone because] [MTY] [they know] that person is a prophet they will receive the [same] reward that prophets [receive from God. Likewise], those who welcome a person [because] [MTY] [they know] that person is righteous will receive the reward righteous people [receive from God].
42 N waani yi i moamoani, n hoadikaaba na siiga, baa yua ya jigidi n wa ki cie, yua n puni o mi ñinsoangima ke o ñuni kelima o tie n hoadikoa kuli kan luo o panpaani.
[Note this: ] people [see that you are thirsty] [MTY] [and] give you a drink of cold water because they know that [MTY] you are one of my disciples. [God] will certainly reward people who do that. [They might consider that what they did] is insignificant, [but God will consider it very significant]” [LIT].
