Luka 12
1 Nanya nkoni kube, na gbardang limui nanit wa zuro ligowe, gbardang ipalila ati mine, acizina ubellu nono katuwa mye, “Yinnon ubellen nyist na Farisiyawa, unere magunta.
Meanwhile when myriads of the multitudes were thronging around him so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples, first of all. "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisee, which is hypocrisy.
2 Bara na imomon duku ilenge na inyeshin, ile na iba punu ba, sa itursun ile na iba yinnu ba.
"There is nothing hidden which shall not be revealed; nothing concealed that shall not be known.
3 Bara vat nile imon na ubelle nsirti, iba lanzu nanya nkanang, ile imon na ubelle nanya kutyi, iba beellu kitene kilari.
"So that what you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light; and what you have whispered in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed from the housetops.
4 Meng bellin munu adondon nigh, yenje iwa lanz fiu nle na aba molu kidowo, nin nani na idumun nimomon ile na iwasa isu tutun ba.
"But I say to you who are my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do.
5 Nba wunun munu atuff kitene nlenge na iba lanzu fiu mye, lanzan fiu nlenge na awa mdu adinin likara nworu atu kidowo nanya nlah. Nanere nbellin munu lanzan fiu mye. (Geenna g1067)
"I will warn you whom you ought to fear. Fear him who, after he was after he has killed, has power to throw you into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 A na ninari nitaun asa ilewe ikubu iba ba? Vat nani na nkan duku asa ishawa mun ba, nyenjie Kutelle.
"Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings? Yet not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God!
7 Vat titi litife ina batiza tinin. Na uwa lanza fiiu ba. Udunin ndaraja ukatin ninari gbardang.
"But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not! You are of more value than many sparrow!
8 Meng bellin munu, vat nle na ayinni nbun nanit, meng ba yinin ghe nbun nanan kadura Kutelle.
"And I tell you that whoever confesses me before men, the Son of man will confess him before the angels of God;
9 Bara ame ule na ata amusu nigh nbun nanit, meng bati amusu nigh nbun nanan kadura Kutelle.
"and whoever disowns me before men, shall be disowned before the angels of God.
10 Vat nlenge na abelle tigbulang niviran kitenen ngono Kutelle iba shawu, ame ulenge na asu tizogo nin nivira kitene Nruhu, na iba shawu mun ba.
"If any one shall speak a word against the Son of man it shall be forgiven him; but he who is blasphemes against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven.
11 Kubi ko na idanin ghinu kiti wucu kidgen, anan tigo, nin na nan nakara, na iwa dama ba, kitene nile imon na iba bellu ubun munu, sa ile imon na iba bellu.
"And when they are bringing you before the synagogues and the rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what you shall answer; or what you shall say;
12 Bara uruhu ulau ba dursu munu, nanya nkoni kube ile imon na iba bellu.
"for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that hour what you ought to say."
13 Umon nanya ligoze woroghe, “Unan yiru belle gwana nighe ti kosu ugadu.
Then one of the crowd said to him, "Master, tell my brother to give me my share of our inheritance."
14 Yesu woroghe, “Unit, ghari ntayi unan wucu kidge sa unan yisinu kiyitik mine?”
"Man," said he, "who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?"
15 Ame woro nani, “Sun seng i kala ati mine kiti ngbardang nimon nacara mye ba.”
And to the people he said, "Take heed and guard yourselves from all covetousness, for a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things which he possesses."
16 Yesu belle nani tinan tigold, aworo, “Kunen nmong wa ni kumat kang,
Then he spoke to them in a parable. "The ground of a certain rich man bore heavy crops.
17 a kpiliza liti mye aworo, 'Iyaghari nba su, na ndumun kiti kanga na nba ciu ileo nighe ku ba?'
"So he debated with himself saying, ‘What shall I do? for I have no place in which to store my crops.’
18 Ame woro, 'Nene nbasu. Nba turzunu illai ile nkee ididia, nceu vat nile imon na ndumun.
"And he said to himself. ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns and build larger ones in which I will store all my wheat and my goods.
19 Nnin bellin kidowo nighe, “kidowo, ning uceo illyou in nakus gbardang. Shinno, uso ulii, uso nin, lanzu nmang.”'
"‘And I will say to my soul, "‘Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years! Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.’
20 Kutelle worroghe, 'Fe unit ulalang nin kiyitik kane nba seru ulaife, ile imone na uceu iba lawu inghari?'
"But God said to him. ‘Foolish man! This very night your soul is wanted! And these things you have prepared, whose shall they be?
21 Nanere umon ba yitu, ulenge na a ceo imon, a na ayita nin nimon kiti Kutelle ba.”
"So is he that lays up treasures for himself and is not rich toward God."
22 Yesu woro non Katuwa mye, “Bara nani meng nbelling munu, yenje iwa dama nin nlai-sa imon nli, sa imon nshonu kidowo mine.
Then he said to his disciples. "For this is the reason I say to you. Be not anxious for your life, what you shall eat; nor yet your body what shall you wear.
23 Bara ulai katin imon nlii, kidowo tutun katin imon nshonu.
"For the life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes.
24 Yenjen agoron, na idin su tibli sa ugirbi ba. Na idinin kiti kaciso sa filai ba, Kutelle din nli ninghinu. Na anun katin anyine ba!
"Consider the ravens; they neither sow nor reap; they have no storehouse nor barn. And yet God feeds them. How much more are you worth than the birds?
25 Nin ghari nanya minne nwasa akpina ngbardanag nayiri mye?
"And which of you by taking anxious thought can add a cubit to his height?
26 Andi na iwasu isu ile imon icinghe ba, iyari inta idama nin kagisine?
"If then you cannot do even that which is least, why are you anxious concerning the rest?
27 Yenjen amamu kusho inda na idin kunju. Na idin su katuwa sa fiyari. Nin nani meng nbelling munu ko Solomon nin ngongon mye wa shon imon nafo umong mine ba.
"Consider the lilies how they grow! They toil not, neither do they spin, yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 Andi Kutelle din tizu ukpi kusho kuyok, uleng na idiku kitimone, udu nkui ina to nani nlah, iyaghari bati na aba su anunku kuyok ba, anan cing nyinnu sa uyenu!
"Now if God so clothe the grass in the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
29 Na iwa dama kitene nimonli sa ile imon na iba sonu, na iwa so nin damuwa ba.
"So do not be asking what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, and be not of doubtful mind.
30 Bara vat nigbir inye din piziru, ile imone, ame Ucif mine yiru au idinin su nile imone.
"For all these things the nations of the world are seeking; but your Father knows that you have need of these things.
31 Piziran kipin tigo mye, kagisin nimone iba kpin munu ku.
"But seek his kingdom, and these things shall be added to you.
32 Na iwa lanza fiu, bara na idi kago kabene ba, bara ucif mine din lanzu nmang ani munu kipin tigowe.
"Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Lessen ile imon na idumun Inii anan diru, keen tikka to nati ba jarzu ba, ceon imus kitene kani kika ukiri duku, sa kiyoro ba.
"Sell what you have and give alms. Provide yourselves with purses which do not grow old, a treasure inexhaustible in the heavens, where no thief draws near, nor does moth destroy.
34 Kiti kanga na Imus fe duku, kinere kibinaife ba yitu ku.
"For where your treasure is there will your heart be also.
35 Tern alutuk ajangarang mine gangang, na tipilila mine yita nkasu,
"Let your loins be girded about and your lamps burning;
36 soon nafo annit alenge na idin ncaa Nchikilari mine, ule na aba sa unuzu kitin buki nilugma, asa ada ariyo kibulun ima punghe mun dedei.
"and be yourselves like men who are looking for the Lord, on his return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they may at once open the door for him.
37 Kucin kone unan nmariari ale na Cikilare mine ba dase nani ncaa, kidegen nworo munu, aba bunku kulutuk ku kujangarang mye, ati nani iso, a ni nani imonli.
"Happy are those slaves whom their master shall find watching when he comes. I tell you truly that will gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and come and serve them.
38 Cikilari une nwandak nin lijii kiyitik, sa udu shantu kiti idi se nani idin ncaa, acin ane anan nmariari.
"And whether it be in the second watch, or in the third, that he comes, and so finds them, happy are those slaves.
39 Udu Ubune yinno, asa Cikilari Kilare yiru kubi ko na akiri ba dak, na aba yinnu ipuru ghe kilari ba.
"However, you know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not have allowed his house to be broken into.
40 Soon nin yiru, na iyiru kubi ko na gono nnite ba dak ba.”
"Do you also be ready, for in an hour that you think not the Son of man is coming."
41 Bitrus woroghe “Cikilari, udin bellu to tinan tigoldo bara arika, sa anite vat?”
"Master," said Peter, "are you speaking this parable to us or to all alike?"
42 Cikilare woro, “Ghara unan nginu sa uyenu, ujinjin ule na Cikilare ba nighe acin mye, ani nani imonli kube dedei ya?
The Lord answered. "Who then is that faithful steward, the wise man whom his Lord will put in charge of the rations in due time?
43 Unan nmariari kucin kone, ule na Cikilare ba da seghe nsu nile imon na ataghe in suwe?
"Blessed is that slave whom his master on his coming shall find so doing.
44 Kidegene nworo munu, aba nighe imon mye vat.
"Of a truth I tell you that he will put him in charge of his possessions.
45 Kucin kone nwa woro kibnei, 'Cikilari ndandauna sa udak,' acizina ufo nacin mye nilime nan nishono, atunna ncii nin nso atah hem,
"But if that slave should say to himself, ‘My master delays his coming,’ and should begin to beat the men and the maids, and to eat and drink and to get drunk,
46 cikilari kucin kone ba dak liri lo na adin ncawe ba, sa kubi ko na ayiru ba, aba kezughe agir, a ceoghe kiti na na salin yinnu.
"that slave’s master will arrive on a day when he is not expecting him, and at an hour when he knows not, and will surely scourge him, and appoint him his portion with the unfaithful.
47 Kucin kone nin tanni npilizu ncikilare, nin salin nke ncin nye sa asu nafo na Cikilare na bellin, iba foghe nin likuntung.
"The slave who knew his Lord’s will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, will be beaten with many lashes,
48 Ame ule na ayiru ba, idinsu ile imon na ibatin ikpizighe, iba kutughe baat bara utanni mye, vat ile na inaghe gbadang, iba piziru gbardan kiti mye, ule na iyinna ninghe, iba tirinu gbardang kiti mye.
"but he who did not know, but did things worthy of a beating, will receive few lashes. To whom much has been given, from him much will be required, and to whom much is entrusted, of him they will ask the more.
49 Nnna dak nda tii ulah inye, nda usu nigheri iwadi ita ula ku.
"I came to build a fire upon the earth; what is my desire?
50 Meng dinin nshintinu ule na nba shintinu munu mun, ndi shotu iwadi imala!
"Would it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I straitened till it is accomplished!
51 Idin kpilizu nafo nna dak, nda ni munu nshau inye? Nani ba, nna dak nda wuso munuari.
"Do you think that I am come to make peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather dissension.
52 Nene nbellin munu nanya kilari awatua ba yitu ku, anit na tatt ba su ivira nin na nanit natat.
"From this time there will be five in one house divided, three against two and two against three;
53 Iba kosu kidowo, ucif nivira nin nsaune, usaune nivira nin ncif; unna nivira nin nshono, ushon nivira nin nnah; nan nles nivira nin nwul, uwul nivira nin nan nles.”
"father against son and son against father; mother against daughter and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter- in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
54 Yesu wadi nbellu ligoze, tutun, “Asa iyene awut kusari kitene, asa woro, 'Na nin dandaunu,' ba uwauri ba juuy nanere udi.
Then he said to the crowd also. "When you see a cloud rising in the west you at once say, ‘There is going to be a shower,’ and it comes to pass.
55 Asa iyene ufunu nuzu kadas, asa iworo, 'Kiti ba yitu puu kang,' nanere ba yitu.
"And when you feel the south winds blowing you say, ‘There will be a hot wind,’ and it comes to pass.
56 Anun anan rusuzu natiminne, iyiru ubellu nimon inyi nin kitene, ani iyaghari nta na iyiru ubellu kube ko na tidi nanye ba?
"Hypocrites! you know how to read the face of the earth and of the sky; but how is it that you do not know how to read the signs of the present time?
57 Iyaghari ntah na idin wucu kidegen nati mine ba?
"And why do you not, even yourselves, judge what is right?
58 Asa uda nin nan nivira kitingo kubi na idi libau udowe keelin uliru baba iwa do idi teru munu kilari tigo.
"For as you go before the magistrate with your opponent do your utmost to get quit of him, lest he drag you before the judge, and the judge delivers you over to the officer, and the officer cast you into prison.
59 Meng bellin munu, na uba nuzu nacara mine ba, se una nari fikubu na udumun vat.”
"You shall by no means come out of there until you have paid the very last farthing."
