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.
Jesus, having convened the twelve, gave them power and authority over all the 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 sent them to proclaim the Reign 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, Provide nothing for your journey; nor staves, nor bag, nor bread, nor silver, nor two coats apiece;
4 Ko ni ko irime bi ri ni mi bika son zu nikima ni ka lu zu niki hi kpambi.
and continue in whatever house you are received into, till you leave the place.
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 wheresoever they will not receive you, shake even the dust off your feet, as a protestation against them.
6 U ba lunde shan ni nkanka hi ni gbu'gbu na ni bla tre Irji na ni ju lilo ni rju.
They accordingly departed, and traveled through the villages, publishing the good tidings, 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.
Now Herod, the tetrarch, having heard of all that Jesus had done, was perplexed; because some said, John is 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 some, Elijah has appeared; and others, One of the ancient prophets is 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 beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he was desirous 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.
Now, the Apostles having returned, reported to Jesus all that they had done: and he, taking them with him, retired privately to a desert belonging to the city of 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 multitude, having known it, followed him; and he, receiving them, spoke to them concerning the Reign of God; and he 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.
When the day began to decline, the twelve, accosting him, said, Dismiss the people, that they may go to the nearest towns and villages, and provide themselves lodging and food; for we are in a desert.
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.
He answered, Supply them yourselves with food. They replied, We have only five loaves and two fishes; unless we go and buy victuals for all this 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 they were about five thousand men. Then he said to his disciples, Make them recline in parties; fifty in a party.
15 U ba ti tohki, u indji ba kuson.
And they did so, making 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.
Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes; and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke them, and gave them to his disciples, to set before the multitudes.
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 did eat and were satisfied; and took up twelve baskets full of fragments.
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?”
Afterward, Jesus having withdrawn from the multitude to pray, apart with his disciples, asked them, saying, Who do people 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, John the Immerser; others say, Elijah; and others, that one of the ancient prophets is 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, The Messiah of God.
21 Yesu hron ba suse ni ndu ba na jla ni ndrjo naki rina.
Then, having strictly charged them, he prohibited them from telling this to any person;
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.
adding, The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and rise again 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.
Moreover, he said to all the people, If any man will come under my guidance, let him renounce himself, and take his cross daily, 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 whosoever would save his life, shall lose it; and whosoever 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?
What will it profit a man to gain the whole world, with the forfeit or ruin of himself?
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 whosoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in 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).
I assure you, that there are some standing here, who shall not taste death till they see the Reign 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.
About eight days after this discourse, he took with him Peter, and John, and James, and went up on 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.
While he prayed, the appearance of his countenance was changed, and his raiment contracted a dazzling whiteness.
30 Hihari me indji hari, ba si tre ni Yesu, ba Musa mba Iliya.
And, behold, two men of a glorious aspect, 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.
conversed with him, and spoke of the departure which he was to 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.
Now, Peter, and those that were with him, were overpowered with sleep; but when they awoke, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with them.
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.
As these were removing from Jesus, Peter said to him, not knowing what he said, Master, it is good for us to stay here; let us, then, make three booths, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
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 speaking, a cloud came and covered them, and the disciples feared, when they 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.
From the cloud a voice came, which said, This is my Son, the beloved; 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.
While the voice was uttered, Jesus was found alone. And they kept secret, telling no person, in those days, anything of what they had seen.
37 Ni vi rima wa ba grji rji ni ngbulu ye, u gbugbu indji ba ye niwu.
The next day, when they were 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 one of the crowd cried out, saying, Rabbi, I beseech you, take pity on 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 lo! a spirit seizes him, making him instantly cry out, and fall into convulsions, so that he foams; and after he is much bruised, hardly leaves 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 besought your disciples to expel the demon; 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.”
Then, Jesus answering, said, O incredulous and perverse generation! how long shall I be with you, and suffer 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 as he was coming, the demon dashed him down in convulsions. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and having cured the child, delivered him 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 great power of God. While all were admiring everything which 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.”
Mark diligently these words, the Son of Man is 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 understood not this language; it was vailed to them, that they might not apprehend it; and they were afraid to ask him concerning it.
46 Ba lu ni gbi suron ni kpa mba, andi a nhan zan ma ninkon'a.
And there arose a debate among them, which of them should be the greatest.
47 Yesu toh kpe wa a he ni suron mba, na ban kpran vren ye tsi ni kpa ma ko san.
But Jesus, who perceived the thought of their heart, took a child, and placing him near himself,
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.
said to them, Whosoever shall receive this child for my sake, receives me; and whosoever shall receive me, receives him who sent me: for he who is the least amongst you all, this person 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.
Then John replied, Master, we saw one expelling demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he consorts not with us.
50 Yesu tre na zuuna, indji wa ana yo ko shi na ahi u me.
Jesus answered, Forbid not such; for whosoever 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.
Now, as the time of his departure approached, he set out resolutely for 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 sent messengers before, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make preparation for him.
53 U indji ba niki bana kpa ni wo ha na, don ba toh a yo suron u hi ni Wurishelima.
But they would not admit him; because they perceived he was going to 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?”
His disciples, James and John, observing this, said, Master, shall we call down fire from heaven to consume them, as Elijah did?
55 Wa k'ma ya ba nda zuba.
But he turned and rebuked them, saying, Do you not know 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.”
As they were on the way, one said to him, Master, I will follow you whithersoever you 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 answered, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have places of shelter; but the Son of Man has not where to repose 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.”
He said to another, Follow me. He answered, Sir, 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 replied, Let the dead bury their dead; but go you and publish the Reign 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.
Another, likewise, said, I will follow you, Sir; but first permit me to take leave of my family.
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 answered, No man, having put his hand to the plow, looks behind him, is fit for the kingdom of God.
