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.
Then calling together the twelve Apostles, he 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 infirm.
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: “You should take nothing for the journey, neither staff, nor traveling bag, nor bread, nor money; and you should not have two tunics.
4 Ko ni ko irime bi ri ni mi bika son zu nikima ni ka lu zu niki hi kpambi.
And into whatever house you shall enter, lodge there, and do not move away from there.
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 have received you, upon departing from that city, shake off even the dust on your feet, as 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 going forth, they traveled around, through the towns, evangelizing and curing 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.
Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all the things that were being done by him, but he doubted, because it was said
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.
by some, “For John has risen from the dead,” yet truly, by others, “For Elijah has appeared,” and by still others, “For one of the prophets from of old has 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: “I beheaded John. So then, who is this, about whom I hear such things?” And he sought 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 when the Apostles returned, they explained to him all the things that they had done. And taking them with him, he withdrew to a deserted place apart, which belongs to 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 when the crowd had realized this, they followed him. And he received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God. And those who were in need of cures, he healed.
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.
Then the day began to decline. And drawing near, the twelve said to him: “Dismiss the crowds, so that, by going into the surrounding towns and villages, they may separate and find food. For we are here in a deserted 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, “You give them something to eat.” And they said, “There is with us no more than five loaves and two fish, unless perhaps we are to go and buy food for this entire multitude.”
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.
Now there were about five thousand men. So he said to his disciples, “Have them recline to eat in groups of fifty.”
15 U ba ti tohki, u indji ba kuson.
And they did so. And they caused them all to recline to eat.
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.
Then, taking the five loaves and the two fish, he gazed up to heaven, and he blessed and broke and distributed them to his disciples, in order to set them before the crowd.
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 twelve baskets of fragments were taken up, which were left over from them.
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 happened that, when he was praying alone, his disciples also were with him, and he questioned 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.”
But they answered by saying: “John the Baptist. But some say Elijah. Yet truly, others say that one of the prophets from before 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.
Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” In response, Simon Peter said, “The Christ of God.”
21 Yesu hron ba suse ni ndu ba na jla ni ndrjo naki rina.
But speaking sharply to them, he instructed them not to tell this to anyone,
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, “For the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the leaders of the priests and the scribes, and be killed, and on the third day rise again.”
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.
Then he said to everyone: “If anyone is willing to come after me: let him deny himself, and take up his cross every day, 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 have saved his life, will lose it. Yet whoever will have lost his life for my sake, will save it.
25 Lada indji a hi nge, wa ani fe gbungblu'a wawa, da na fe re na?
For how does it benefit a man, if he were to gain the whole world, yet lose himself, or cause himself harm?
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 of my words: of him the Son of man will be ashamed, when he will have arrived in his majesty and that of his 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).
And yet, I tell you a truth: There are some standing here who shall not taste death, until 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 happened that, about eight days after these words, he took Peter and James and John, and he ascended onto a mountain, so that he might 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 while he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his vestment became white and shining.
30 Hihari me indji hari, ba si tre ni Yesu, ba Musa mba Iliya.
And behold, two men were talking with him. And these were Moses and Elijah, appearing in majesty.
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.
And they spoke of his departure, which he would accomplish at 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.
Yet truly, Peter and those who were with him were weighed down by sleep. And becoming alert, they saw his majesty and the two men who were standing 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 happened that, as these were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus: “Teacher, it is good for us to be here. And so, let us make three tabernacles: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” For he did not know what he was saying.
34 Wa he nimi tre, u kpalu a lu ka ba, u ba tie sissri ni wa ba lu ri ni kpa lu'a.
Then, as he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them. And as these were entering into the cloud, they were afraid.
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 a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my beloved Son. Listen to 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 while the voice was being uttered, Jesus was found to be alone. And they were silent and told no one, in those days, any of these things, which they had seen.
37 Ni vi rima wa ba grji rji ni ngbulu ye, u gbugbu indji ba ye niwu.
But it happened on the following day that, as they were descending from the mountain, a great crowd 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 crowd cried out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you, look kindly on my son, for he is my only son.
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 takes hold of him, and he suddenly cries out, and it throws him down and convulses him, so that he foams. And though it tears him apart, it leaves him only with difficulty.
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 asked your disciples to cast him out, and they were unable.”
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 in response, Jesus said: “O unfaithful and perverse generation! How long will I be with you and endure you? Bring your son here.”
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 as he was approaching him, the demon threw him down and convulsed him.
43 U ba tie sissriwawu mba, wa ba toh gbengble u Irji wa a tie na hla ni Almajere ma,
And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and he healed the boy, and he restored him to his father.
44 “Bi ka ndu tre yi ri ni yiwu ni ton su se: Ivren Indji mba ka no ba ni wo indji.”
And all were astonished at the greatness of God. And as everyone was wondering over all that he was doing, he said to his disciples: “You must set these words in your hearts. For it shall be that the Son of man will 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 word, and it was concealed from them, so that they did not perceive it. And they were afraid to question him about this word.
46 Ba lu ni gbi suron ni kpa mba, andi a nhan zan ma ninkon'a.
Now an idea entered into them, as to which of them was greater.
47 Yesu toh kpe wa a he ni suron mba, na ban kpran vren ye tsi ni kpa ma ko san.
But Jesus, perceiving the thoughts of their hearts, took a child and stood him beside 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 he said to them: “Whoever will receive this child in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives him who sent me. For whoever is the lesser among you all, the same is greater.”
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 responding, John said: “Teacher, we saw a certain one casting out demons in your name. And we prohibited him, for 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: “Do not prohibit him. For whoever is not against you, is for you.”
51 U vi chibi ye whiwhre wa ba ban hon hi ni shu, wa yo suron ma ndi wa wu ni hi Wurushelima.
Now it happened that, while the days of his dissipation were being completed, he steadfastly set his face to go 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 going on, they entered into a city 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 would not receive him, because his face was going 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, had seen this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call for fire to descend from heaven and consume them?”
55 Wa k'ma ya ba nda zuba.
And turning, he rebuked them, saying: “Do you not know of whose spirit you are?
56 U ba tsi ka hi ni gbu ri kan.
The Son of man came, not to destroy lives, but to save them.” And they went into another town.
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 happened that, as they were walking along the way, someone said to him, “I will follow you, wherever you will 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.
Jesus said to him: “Foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have nests. But the Son of man has nowhere 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.”
Then he said to another, “Follow me.” But he said, “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.
And Jesus said to him: “Let the dead bury their dead. But you go and announce 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 you, Lord. But permit me first to explain this to those of my house.”
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 who puts his hand to the plow, and then looks back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
