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 he called the Twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to heal;
2 Na ton ba hi ndu ba hi na hi bla tre Irji, na chu lilo rju ni bi lilo.
and sent them out to preach the kingdom of God, and 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, and do not have two tunics.
4 Ko ni ko irime bi ri ni mi bika son zu nikima ni ka lu zu niki hi kpambi.
"Into whatever house you enter, there stay, 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.
"If any one will not receive you, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave this town, 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.
So they went forth, and walked from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing 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 of all that was happening; and he was perplexed because of its being said by someone that Johnwas 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 one of the ancient prophets was 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.
So Herod said, "I beheaded John, but who is this of whom I am hearing such reports," And he kept seeking 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.
On their return the apostles told him what they had done. and he took them and withdrew in private to a town 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 when the crowd learned this they followed him. He received them kindly and spoke to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed restored to good health.
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.
But now the day began to decline, and the twelve came to him and said. "Send away the crowd so that they may go into the villages and surrounding the country to lodge and buy provisions; for here we are on a solitary 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.
"Do you yourselves give them food," he answered. "We have nothing," they replied "Except five loaves, and a couple fish, unless you mean for us to go and buy provisions for all the crowd."
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.) "Make them sit down in table-companies, of about fifty each," he said to his disciples.
15 U ba ti tohki, u indji ba kuson.
This they did, and made them all sit down.
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 fish, and looking up in heaven, he blessed them, broke them in pieces, and began to giving to his disciples to apportion among 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.
So they ate and were filled, all of them. And there was picked up that which remained over to them, of broken pieces, twelve basketfuls.
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?”
Now it happened that while he was praying by himself, the disciples were with him, and he asked them a question. "Who do the crowd think 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.”
"Johnthe Baptist," they answered, "But 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.
Then he said to them, "But who do you say I am? Then Peter answered saying, "The Christ of God.’
21 Yesu hron ba suse ni ndu ba na jla ni ndrjo naki rina.
Then he strictly forbade them to tell this to any 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.
and he said, "The Son of man must suffer much, and be restricted by the elders and high priests and scribes and be put to death, and on the third day be raised 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.
And he said to all. "If any man wills to follow me, Let him renounce self and take up 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 whoever wills to save his life shall lose it; and whoever loses 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 shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose or forfeit 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 whoever is ashamed of me and of my teachings, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed when he comes in his own and in his Father’s glory, and in that 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 tell you truly there are some of those standing here who will not taste 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.
About eight days after this it happened that Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and went up on the 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 was praying the appearances of his countenance became different, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
30 Hihari me indji hari, ba si tre ni Yesu, ba Musa mba Iliya.
And suddenly there were two men talking 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.
These appeared in glory and talked about his departure which he was about 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 who were with him were heavy with sleep; but when they were fully awake they saw his glory, and the two men were standing beside 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 when they were preparing to depart from him Peter said to Jesus. "Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" - not knowing 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.
And while he was saying this, there came a cloud and began to overshadow them; and they were awestruck as they entered into 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 a voice came out of the cloud, saying. "This is my Son, my chosen one; 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.
When the voice ceased Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no one at that time about what they had seen.
37 Ni vi rima wa ba grji rji ni ngbulu ye, u gbugbu indji ba ye niwu.
It happened the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, that a large crowd came to meet 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 a man called out of the crowd saying. "Teacher, I beg you to look upon my son; for he is my only boy,
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 hold of him, and rudely he shouts out, It convulses him till he foams; indeed it will hardly leave off bruising him sorely.
40 Mi bre mi ri koh me (Almajere) ni dun ba zu meme brji rju ni wu ni kpa, u bana ya na
"I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."
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.”
"O faithless and perverse generation," said Jesus, "how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son to me."
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
But while he was yet coming the demon dashed him down, and cruelly convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and cured the boy, 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 awestruck at the mighty power of God. But while everyone was marveling at what he was doing, 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 betrayed 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; it was hidden from them so that they perceived it not, and they were sore afraid to ask him about his saying.
46 Ba lu ni gbi suron ni kpa mba, andi a nhan zan ma ninkon'a.
Now there arose a dispute among them as to which one of them was the greatest.
47 Yesu toh kpe wa a he ni suron mba, na ban kpran vren ye tsi ni kpa ma ko san.
And Jesus who knew the dispute that was in their hearts, took a young child, and placed him by his side;
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.
then he said to them. "Whoever shall receive this little child in my name receives me; and whoever shall receive me receives him that sent me. For it is the lowliest among you all who is 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.
"Master," said John, "we saw a man who was casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us."
50 Yesu tre na zuuna, indji wa ana yo ko shi na ahi u me.
But Jesus said, "Forbid him not, for he who 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.
When now when the time drew near for him to be received up, he stedfastly 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 sent messengers before him. These went and entered into a Samaritan village to make ready 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 did not receive him because his face was set to go 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?”
And when his disciples, Jamesand John, saw this they said, "Lord, are you willing for us to bid fire come down from heaven and destroy them?" As Elijah did.
55 Wa k'ma ya ba nda zuba.
But he turned and rebuked them and said,
56 U ba tsi ka hi ni gbu ri kan.
"You know not what kind of spirit you share, for the Son of man came not to destroy men’s lives, but to save them." 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 going on their way, a man came to him and said, "I will follow wherever 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.
"The foxes have their holes," Jesus answered, "and the wild birds have their nest, 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.”
To another he said, "Follow me!" But he replied, "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.
"Leave the dead to bury their own dead," said Jesus to him, "go you and announce, far and wide 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 man also said to him. "I will follow you, Lord; but first permit me to bid farewell to those who are in 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.
But Jesus answered him, "No man who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
