Luke 9
1 A'yo wulon don ha ba ye bubu ri na nno ba gbengble ni ikoh u wa ba zu brji, na chu lilo rju ni bi lilo.
And he called his twelve disciples to him, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases:
2 Na ton ba hi ndu ba hi na hi bla tre Irji, na chu lilo rju ni bi lilo.
and he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 Nna hla bawu, nadi ndu ba na ban ikpe rirme nji u bi hi ni zren na; na ban kpalah na, na ban gopelena, na ban bi rina, na nji inklen na, ni na nji inkolom ri u siran na.
And he said to them: Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; nor have two coats each.
4 Ko ni ko irime bi ri ni mi bika son zu nikima ni ka lu zu niki hi kpambi.
And whatever house you enter, there remain, and thence depart.
5 Bubu wa ba na kpa yina, u bika lunde ni gbu ki, ni k'bon wru zah mbi hle ni bawu ndu k'ri gban (Alama) ni bawa ni kah wo'a.
And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off even the dust from your feet, for a testimony against them.
6 U ba lunde shan ni nkanka hi ni gbu'gbu na ni bla tre Irji na ni ju lilo ni rju.
And they departed, and went through every village, preaching the gospel, and performing cures everywhere.
7 U ba he u Hiridus, Ichu, a wo kpe wa a si zren wawu'a. Wa ti sissri ni wa a wo bari ba si tre andi Yahaya wa ani tie Batisma a la ye ni rema.
And Herod the tetrarch heard of all things that were done by him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some, that John had risen from the dead;
8 Ba ri ba tre nda ahi Anabi Iliya, ba rju ye ni re u ba ri ba tre nda ahi iri nimi Anabawa bi sen ba a la rju ye ni re.
and by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that a prophet of ancient times had risen again.
9 Hiridus tre andi ana Yahaya ne, don wawu nna chutu ma ye, u zizan ahi nha mba mi si wo bibi tre yi nitu ma? Rji niki wa soma wa nkon wa ani toh Yesu.
And Herod said: John I have beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
10 U bi hla tre Irji ba rji ni zren mba ye na ye hla ni Yesu ikpe wa ba ka ti'a wawu. Niki u wa vuba u ba hi ni mi gbu Betsaida.
And the apostles returned, and told him all that they had done. And he took them, and withdrew privately to a desert place, that belonged to a city called Bethsaida.
11 Da jubu ndji'a ba wo wu rji wa Yesu hi, na hu zah ma hi niki wa kpa ba na hla tre Bachi ni tre u son nkon Irji ni klekle'a na no bi wa ba si wa sikpa'a si.
But the multitudes knew it, and followed him; and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.
12 U Almajere ba ba toh yalu ni tie nan myen ndi ko ani kpanyeme ni ndu ndji bi wa ba ye ndu ba lu ri mi gbu wa ba he ni hwehwre ni rju yi na fe bubu kru ni kpe wa ba rhi. Don kina he hwehwre ni gbu na.
And the day began to decline; and the twelve came and said to him: Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and the country round about, and lodge, and find food; for we are here in a desert place.
13 I wa hla, ni bawu ndu ba no ba kpe-wa ba rhi. U ba tre andi ki he ni gble bredi iton migyen ni lambe hari se de ki ka hi le biri ye ni bawa wa bari'a.
But he said to them: Do you give them food. They replied: We have nothing but five loaves and two fishes, unless we go and buy food for all these people.
14 (U ba kei indji dubu ton.) Wa ndu Almajere (mri koh ma) ndu ba hla ni bawu ni ndu ba kuson ni wuwlon k'bu-titton ni k'klen wawu.
For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: Make them recline in companies of fifty.
15 U ba ti tohki, u indji ba kuson.
And they did so, and made them all recline.
16 U wa ban bredi'a ni lambe hari'a na nzuttu hi ni shulu, na ti lulu yo bawu na genba ti zizah, na ka no mri koh ma (Almajere) ni ndu ba gaba.
And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke, and gave them to the disciples, to set before the multitude.
17 U ba ri wrji wa wu mba wu na ni mbru ma, u mri koh ma (Almajere) ba vu mbru ma shuti shu ni sisen Ise-ri.
And they all ate, and were satisfied; and there was taken up what remained to them of the broken pieces, twelve baskets.
18 Ni viri Yesu si bre Bachi ni kankrji ma, u mri koh ma (Almajere) ba ye niwu, wa myen ba, “A hi nha indji ba yo me?”
And it came to pass, as he was praying in a retired place, that his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying: Who do the multitudes say that I am?
19 U ba hla niwu, “Bari ba tre, Yahaya wa ani tie batisma, bari kuma ba tre ndi Anebi Iliya, hra bari ba tre ndi ahi ri ni mi Anabawa bi sisen mu wa iri mba aka k'ma ye ni re.”
They answered and said: John the Immerser; but some, Elijah; and others, that some prophet of ancient times has risen again.
20 Wa mye ba, “U bi yi na, bi yo me ndi nha?” Bitrus sa niwu ndi, “U Almisihu wa u rji ni Bachi Irji.
He said to them: But who do you say that I am? Peter answered and said: The Christ of God.
21 Yesu hron ba suse ni ndu ba na jla ni ndrjo naki rina.
And he strictly charged them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22 Na hla ni bawu, A gbigbi ivren ndji ni sha ya nitu kpie gbugbu; bi ninkon ba kamba niwu ni Piristoci, ni bi nhan, nda la wuu, nivi u tra ba ta'wu shme.
saying: The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and be raised the third day.
23 Na hla ni bawu wawu mba, nli indi wa ani son hu me gbigbi me ndu kama ni tuma, na ban nkunkron u wa ba kagran ni viri san ma (Giciye) na hume ko ni nton rime.
And he said to them all: If any one determines to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
24 Indji wa a tre ndi wawu ni kpa tuma chuwo'a, ana nawo na, ama indji wa a ka tuma no nitu mu'a, ani kpa tuma chuwo kima.
For whoever will save his life, shall lose it; but whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall save it.
25 Lada indji a hi nge, wa ani fe gbungblu'a wawa, da na fe re na?
For what will it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and destroy himself, or be lost?
26 Indji wa ni ti shan hla tre mu, Ivren ndji me ni tie shan ma ni nton wa ani k'ma ye ni k'bu Ma ni k'bu Itti ma ni u Maleku njanji.
For whoever will be ashamed of me and my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when he comes in his own glory; and that of the Father, and of the holy angels.
27 Misi hla ni yiwu iwa yi a gbigbi, nimi mbi wa bi klewa bari mbi bana qu na, se ba toh Irji (Mulki).
But I say to you, of a truth, there are some of these who stand here that shall not taste of death till they see the kingdom of God.
28 Yesu tre klama bi yi, na ban Bitrus mba Yahaya ni Yakubu, na hon hi nitu ngbulu ni hi bre Bachi ni mu.
And it came to pass, about eight days after these words, that he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29 Wa ahe ni mi si bre, u shishima ka siran, U inklon ma a kpan tie kink'lan re me na zan ni ri.
And as he prayed, the appearance of his face was changed, and his raiment became white and glittering.
30 Hihari me indji hari, ba si tre ni Yesu, ba Musa mba Iliya.
And, behold, two men conversed with him, who were Moses and Elijah;
31 U ba rju kagon mba ni nikon u Bachi. U ba tre ni Yesu ni tu hi kpama wa a te whre u ye tsar ni Wurushelima.
they appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish in Jerusalem.
32 Bitrus ni Almajire wa ba he baba ba kle si kru nna na k'mo, da ba lunde, nan ba toh ikpan ma ni ndji hari ba kri niwu.
And Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep; but having fully awakened, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33 Wa ba lu ni bri Yesu na hi kpa-mba, Bitrus tre andi ttie ko mu, abi ni tawu wa ki he niwa, ani bi ndu ta me-tra tie tra; iri ni wu, iri ni Musa u iri ni Iliya. (Ana toh kpe wa a si tre'a na.
And it came to pass, that, as they were withdrawing from him, Peter said to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tents, one for thee, one for Moses, and one for. Elijah, not knowing what he said.
34 Wa he nimi tre, u kpalu a lu ka ba, u ba tie sissri ni wa ba lu ri ni kpa lu'a.
While he was saying these things, there came a cloud, and it overshadowed them; and they were afraid as those men entered the cloud.
35 U ba wo lantre rji ni kpalu'a, ni tre ndi, iwa yi mba ahi vren Mu wa me chu'a wo wu.
And there came a voice from the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son; hear him.
36 U lantre ban chuwo tre ni kpalu'a, Yesu he ni kankrji ma. U ba son ni ngbangbi ba na hla kperi ni ndrjo ni vi bi kii wa ba toh na.
And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it secret, and told no one, in those days, any of the things which they had seen.
37 Ni vi rima wa ba grji rji ni ngbulu ye, u gbugbu indji ba ye niwu.
And it came to pass, that, on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
38 Hihari me, U ri ni mi indji ba a tre ngban me, Mala bubo me, k'ma ya vren mu, ahi vren mu iriri mi gen.
And, behold, a man from the multitude cried out, saying: Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son, for he is my only child;
39 Meme brji ni hon ni wu tu na yo ku-k'mo, na jijiga niwu na gben glele na yo futen shu yiu. Ni ker ri a ban chuwo ani timba ana fie fie mana idan a ban chuwo.
and, behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out, and it throws him into convulsions, and causes him to foam, and after depriving him of strength, hardly departs from him.
40 Mi bre mi ri koh me (Almajere) ni dun ba zu meme brji rju ni wu ni kpa, u bana ya na
And I entreated thy disciples to cast it out; but they were not able.
41 Yesu tre andi biyi bi tsren g'gran ni ka kpa nyeme ni k'ma bi ni tan mi ua vu suron ni son ni yi? “Nji vren me ye wa yi.”
And Jesus answering, said: O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you! Bring your son hither.
42 U vren lu ni hi meme brji wru yo k'bon ni menme u Yesu zu meme brji na chu lilo rju niwu na ka no tie ma
And while he was coming, the demon cast him to the ground, and threw him into convulsions; but Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and restored the child to health, and gave him back to his father.
43 U ba tie sissriwawu mba, wa ba toh gbengble u Irji wa a tie na hla ni Almajere ma,
And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. And while they were all wondering at every thing that Jesus did, he said to his disciples:
44 “Bi ka ndu tre yi ri ni yiwu ni ton su se: Ivren Indji mba ka no ba ni wo indji.”
Let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.
45 U bana toh itu tre na, a ri ni bawu, ni ndu ba toh tu kpi a si tre na, naki me ba tie sissri nda miyen itu tre me na.
But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they might not understand it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
46 Ba lu ni gbi suron ni kpa mba, andi a nhan zan ma ninkon'a.
And there arose a contention among them, which of them should be greatest.
47 Yesu toh kpe wa a he ni suron mba, na ban kpran vren ye tsi ni kpa ma ko san.
But Jesus perceived the thought of their heart, and he took a little child, and made it stand by him,
48 Na hla bawu, ndu ndji wa a kpa vren klenken yi, ni mi inde mu'a a kpame, indji wa a kpame, a kpa indji wa a ton me. Indji wa a vi zizanma ni yi'a a wa wuyi a ninkon ni mi mbi.
and said to them: Whoever will receive this little child on my account, receives me; and whoever will receive me, receives him that sent me. For he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
49 Yahaya yo a ndi ninkon mbu, ki toh indji ri niwa mu si ju brji ni ndji ni nde me wana nihu ta ni mi mbu na.
And John answered and said: Master, we saw a certain one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us.
50 Yesu tre na zuuna, indji wa ana yo ko shi na ahi u me.
And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not; for whoever is not against us, is for us.
51 U vi chibi ye whiwhre wa ba ban hon hi ni shu, wa yo suron ma ndi wa wu ni hi Wurushelima.
And it came to pass, as the time for him to be taken up into heaven had fully come, that he set his face steadfastly to go up to Jerusalem.
52 Wa ton Manzani duba guchi hi niwu, u ba ka ri ni gbu Samariya wa be m'lan ko nge tie niwu ki.
And he sent messengers before his face; and they went, and entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.
53 U indji ba niki bana kpa ni wo ha na, don ba toh a yo suron u hi ni Wurishelima.
And they did not receive him, because his face was turned toward Jerusalem.
54 Wa Imri koh ma (Almajire) Yakubu mba Yohana ba toh naki, nda tre, “Bachi, U son ndu ta ton ilu rji ni shulu dun gon ba?”
And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said: Lord, is it thy will that we command fire to come down from heaven and destroy them, even as Elijah did?
55 Wa k'ma ya ba nda zuba.
But he turned and rebuked them, and said: You know not of what spirit you are.
56 U ba tsi ka hi ni gbu ri kan.
And they went to another village.
57 Wa ba he ni mi si hi ni gon, u ndrjo a tre niwu, “Mi huwu hi ni wawu wrji wa usi hi.”
And it came to pass, as they were going on their journey, that a certain man said to him: Lord, I will follow thee wherever thou shalt go.
58 Yesu hla ni wu andi, n'nma bi miji ba he ni juju wa ba ri ni mi, u nchinchen ni shu ba he ni koh mba, u Me Vren Ndji mina he ni wrji u ka tu yo na.
And Jesus said to him: The foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have roosts, but the Son of man has not where to lay his head.
59 Wa a hla yo ri andi “Hu me.” U ndji'a hla ndi, “Bachi, Mi bre'u dun mi guchi hi rju itti mu ri.”
And he said to another: Follow me. But he replied: Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.
60 U wa hla niwu, “Bri k'mo ndu ba rju k'mo ba kimba. Ama niwu hi gbugban mu ni hi hla tre Irji kagon gbungblu.
Jesus said: Let the dead bury their own dead; but do you go and publish abroad the kingdom of God.
61 U indji mu kan tre mi hu, Bachi, a ma ndu mi hi hla ndji mi hi ni bawu ni koh mu.
And another said: I will follow thee, Lord; but first permit me to take leave of those at home.
62 Yesu hla niwu, “Andi Indji wa a kawo vu zan ni soma yarrhan da hla ka ya gon indji mba ku nyre wa ani toh koh Irji.
Jesus said to him: No one that puts his hand to the plow, and looks back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
