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.
He called the twelve together 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.
He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom 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.
He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.
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, stay there, and depart 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.
As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from 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.
They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News 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 done by him; and he was very 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 one of the old prophets 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.
Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” 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.
The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of 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, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed 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.
The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms and lodge and get 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.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should 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 they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
15 U ba ti tohki, u indji ba kuson.
They did so, 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.
He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, broke them, 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.
They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
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?”
As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “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, “‘John the Baptiser,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets 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, “The Christ of God.”
21 Yesu hron ba suse ni ndu ba na jla ni ndrjo naki rina.
But he warned 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, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”
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.
He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, 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 desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose 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 what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
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 will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory, and the glory 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 tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see God’s Kingdom.”
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 these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto 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.
As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
30 Hihari me indji hari, ba si tre ni Yesu, ba Musa mba Iliya.
Behold, two men were 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.
who appeared in glory and spoke of 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 who 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.
As they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, 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 said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid 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.
A voice came out of 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.
When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, 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.
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.
Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only born 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.
Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams; and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
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, and they couldn’t.”
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.”
Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with 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
While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed 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,
They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marvelling at all the things 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.”
“Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up 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 didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive 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.
An argument arose amongst them about which 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.
Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set 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.
and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least amongst you all, this one will 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.
John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”
50 Yesu tre na zuuna, indji wa ana yo ko shi na ahi u me.
Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who 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.
It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently 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 his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as 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.
They didn’t receive him, because he was travelling with his face set towards 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?”
When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”
55 Wa k'ma ya ba nda zuba.
But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
56 U ba tsi ka hi ni gbu ri kan.
For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” 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 went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”
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, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place 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.”
He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow 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.
But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”
61 U indji mu kan tre mi hu, Bachi, a ma ndu mi hi hla ndji mi hi ni bawu ni koh mu.
Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at 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 said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plough and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”
