Luke 11
1 One day Jesus was somewhere praying. When he finished [praying], one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us [what to say when] we [(exc)] pray, as John [the Baptizer] taught his disciples!”
Ure uganiya Yeso māzin in Biringara a are ahira, uye anyimo ahana utarsa umeme, magun me, “Ugomo-Asere, bezin duru uwana ubirgngara gusi Yahaya me sa mā sa mā bezi a unu tarsa umeme”.
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say [things like this]: ‘Father, we want you [(sg)] [MTY] to be honored/revered. [We want people to let you(sg)] [MTY, MET] rule over their lives.
Yeso magun we, “Uganiya sa izin in biringara i gu, Acco, ackpici nizanu we me tigomo tiwome ti e,
3 Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we need.
Nyam duru imumbe sa tide ree konde uya uwui.
4 Forgive us [for] the wrong things that we have done, because we forgive people for the wrong things that they do to us. Do not let us do wrong things when we are tempted {[someone or something] tempts us}.’”
Kpicon duru madini marume, gusi ande sa ticensu we in muruba mu inde. Kati uhan haru anyimo uwuza umadini.
5 Then he said to them, “Suppose that one of you goes to the house of a friend at midnight. Suppose that you [(sg) stand outside and] call out to him, ‘My friend, please lend me three buns!
“Yeso magunwe, “Aveni anyimo ashi me inka mazin unu roni, madi haa ahira ameme ina tee niye, magun me, “Uroni, nyam ureme ubi mara immare inituru.
6 Another friend of mine who is traveling has just arrived [at my house], but I have no food [ready] to give to him!’
Sa azi anime ure uroni mā aye a'ana me usuro atanu, abanna me izom mi mum be sa indi nyame,
7 Suppose that he answers you from inside [his house], ‘Do not bother me! The door has been locked {[We(exc)] have locked the door} and all my family are in bed. [So] I cannot get up and give you [(sg)] anything!’
Unuge sa maraa anyimo, makabirka, magu, kati-uwuzum dundung. Mamu kursa ana tukum am, in kuri inzi ina hana am ta mu totto. In daki in hiri inya we bi mana bi mare.
8 I will tell you that even if he does not [want to] get up and give you [any food], to avoid being ashamed [for not helping you] because you are his friend (OR, if without being ashamed you continue asking him to do that), he certainly will get up and give you whatever you need.
Ma buka shi, sa daki mahira ma nya we immare ba, abinime sa mazi uroni ume, daki wa kunna mu e ba, ugusa unu tira utari time ne, madi hiri ma nyawe vat immare sa unyara.
9 So I tell you this: Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you [(pl)]. Confidently keep expecting [God to give you the things that you need], and [he] will give them to you [MET]. [It will be like] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying urgently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] knocking [on a door] so that [God] will open [the way] for you [to get what you pray for].
Mi in kuri ingusa shi, ikoni adi nya shi, nyara ni indi kem, kpotikon ana tukum adi poki shin.
10 Remember that [God] will give things to everyone who continues to ask [him for them]. [He] will give things to whoever confidently keeps asking. [He] will open [the way] for people [to get the things that they keep urgently praying for].
Barki vat de be sa mā iko ma ke makabi, vat de sa ma nyara madi kuri makem; vat de sa ma kpotiko ana tukum me, adi poki men.
11 If one of you had a son who asked you [(sg)] for a fish [to eat], (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a [poisonous] snake instead!/would you give him a [poisonous] snake instead?) [RHQ]
Ire imum ini anyimo ashi me, inki vana umeme ma ikome bi cere, madi nyame biwa anyo abi cere me?
12 If he asked you for an egg, (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a scorpion!/would you give him a scorpion?) [RHQ]
Nyani inki ma iko me niwa, any me be bino?
13 Even though you people are evil, you know how to give good things to your children. So your Father in heaven will certainly [give good things] to those who ask him, [including] giving the Holy Spirit, [who is the best gift].”
Sa azi shi sa iwuza we imum iburu irusa ya nya ahana ashi me umum irere. Ahana ahira Aco ushi me sa maraa uzezsere, madi bibe bilau ba sere bige sa wa tiri me tari?
14 [One day there was a man there who, because a demon controlled him] [MTY], was unable to speak. After [Jesus expelled] the demon, the man [began to] talk. [Most of] the people [there] were amazed.
Ure uganiya, sa ye mazinu suso agbērgene anipum ure ubabbana. Uganiya sa ugbergene masuri, unu me sa mazi ubabbana mā buki tize. Abini me ni ori nanu ni kunna biyyau!
15 But some of them said, “It is Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons, who enables [this man] to expel demons!”
Abanna me, aye anyimo anabu wa guana, “In nikara ni Ba'alzabuba ugomo wa gbergene mani māzinu suzo agbergene.
16 Other [people there] asked Jesus to perform a miracle [to prove (he was the Messiah/that he had come] from God) [MTY/EUP]. They wanted to trap him [into not being able to perform a miracle or into doing something ridiculous].
Aye wa masa me, wa nyara uguna wa bezi we uzina uire imum usuro azezsere.
17 But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, “If [the people in] one nation fight against each other, their nation will be destroyed {[they] will destroy their nation}. If [the people in] [MTY] one house are divided, they will cease to remain as one [family].
Abini me sa Yeso marusa a buru awe me, “Vat tigomo be sa ta harzina kare, ina je adini, tamare ini inome, ikure in akura a harzina kare, ina je nan ani a rizo in nome.
18 [Similarly], if Satan [and his demons] were fighting against each other, (his rule over them would [certainly] not last!/how would his rule over them last?) [RHQ] [I say this] because you are saying that I am expelling demons by [the power of] the ruler of [his own demons]
Inki bibe biburu ba harzina kare ina je nan bini nibin, adiwu aneni tigomo ti meme ti rusi utonno? Abanna ya guna agi in suzo agbergene in nikara ni Ba'alzabuba.
19 Furthermore, if [it is true that] Satan enables me to expel demons, [is it also true that] your disciples [who] expel demons [do so] by [Satan’s] power [RHQ]? [No, that is not true]. So they will show that you [are not thinking logically].
Inki ma suso agbergene usuro Ba'alzabuba, ahira ande sa wa tarsa shi wa suso agbergene me? Barki anime, we wani wadi cukuno shi anu yesi utize tini kobbi.
20 But because it is by the power [MTY] of God [that I expel demons], I am showing you [that the power of] God to [MET] rule [people’s lives] has come to you.”
Abanna me in ahira Asere ani in suzo agbergene, ya cukuno uguana tigomo tigomo-Asere ta aye ahira ashi me.
21 Then, [to show that by expelling evil spirits he was making it clear that he was much more powerful than Satan, Jesus said] [MET], “When a strong man who has many weapons guards his own house, no one can steal the things in his house.
Inki unubu una nikara, una tirunga tinikono madi ke matonno a kura ame ani, tironga time me tidi suri.
22 But when someone else who is stronger attacks that man and subdues him, he is able to take away the weapons in which the man trusted. Then he can take from that man’s house anything he [wants to].
Inki ure unu uge be sa mateki me in nikama ma aye mare nikara nime, madi zaki tironga timi kono ahira unu me, makuri ma humuko tironga me.
23 [No one can be neutral]. Those who do not help me [are opposing] me, and those who do not gather [people to become] my [disciples] are causing [those people] to go away [from me].”
Desa zo me nigoo nan me, ishina ini mazin nan nan me; desa ma zome unu orso nan me, mazinu samara me uni.
24 [Then Jesus said this]: “[Sometimes when] an evil spirit leaves someone, it wanders around in desolate areas seeking [someone in whom it can] rest. If it does not find anyone, it says [to itself], ‘I will return to the person in whom I used to live!’
Inki bibe bizenze ba suro anyimo unubu, make matarsi ti hira ti huu mazinu nyara ahira be sa madi venken. Inki daki makem ba, aguana, 'Tonno in akura am sa ma suroni.
25 So it goes back and finds that [the Spirit of God is not in control of that person’s life. The person’s life is like] a house that has been {that someone has} swept clean and everything put {put everything} in order, [but a house that is empty].
Uganiya sa maze, makem a visa akura me, a kuri abarka ani lau.
26 Then [this evil spirit] goes and gets seven other spirits that are [even] more evil than it is. They [all] enter [that person] and [begin] living there. [So], [although] that person’s condition [was bad] before, it became much worse.”
Madusa mazika are gbergene wani sunare agebe sa wateki me ini imum iburu, wa ē wa cukuno ahira me. Umaska unu ugino uteki utuba me unu zenze.
27 When Jesus said that, a woman who was listening called out [to him], “[God is] pleased with the woman who gave birth to you [(sg)] and let you nurse [at her breasts]!”
Ya cukuno, uganiya sa māzin unboo timūmuū tigino, ure uneh mahira anyimo ani gura me mayeza nigmirang magun me, a buru sa a yoo arere ani ahira Asere, nan nihene sa wa hanzi.
28 But he replied, “God [is] much more pleased with those who hear his message and obey it!”
Me makuri magu ana rere wani ande sa kunna tize ta Asere wakuri wa tarsi tini.
29 When the group of people around [Jesus] got larger, he said, “[Many of] you people who have been observing my ministry are evil. You want [me to perform] a miracle [to prove that I have come from God], but the only miracle that [I] will perform for you is one [like happened to] Jonah.
Uganiya sa anu waraa anyimo u eze ayimo u eze ahira ani ori, mahaa matubi maguana, uge cara me, u cara uzenze uni. Unyara uira ure imum, imum be sa unyara uguna anya uni une uni gusi uyunusa.
30 [After Jonah was inside a huge fish for three days, God performed] a miracle [to restore] Jonah. [Jonah then went and testified about that] to the people in Nineveh [city. God will perform] a similar miracle [for me], the one who came from heaven. [When you people have seen that miracle, you will believe my message].
Barki gusi yunusa sa ma cukuno imum uira ahira anu neneba, animani ahira avana unuba madi cukuno imum be anyara sa u ira uge ucara me.
31 [Long ago the] queen from [Sheba], [far] south [of Israel, traveled a long distance to hear Solomon speak many] wise things. But now [I, a man] who [is much] greater [and wiser] than Solomon, am here, [but you have not listened to what I have told you]. Therefore, at the time when [God] judges [all people], the queen from [Sheba] will stand there, [along] with you people, and will condemn you.
Korimo ukudi, madi tonno ma bui tize tini kobbo nan nabo ucar uge me, wadi kuri wa huzi we. Abanna me, ma aye ahira a put barki ma kunna urusa utize ti sulaimanu. Abanna me uye mayenne sa mateki Sulaimanu me.
32 The people who lived in Nineveh [city] turned from their sinful ways when Jonah preached to them. But now I, who am greater than Jonah, have come [and preached to you], [but you have not turned from your sinful ways]. Therefore, at the time when God judges [all people], the people who lived in Nineveh will stand there with you and condemn you.”
Anu Neneba wadi tonno atize tini kobbo nan nu ucara ugeme, wadi kuri wa huzi we. Abanna me wa kunna tize ti Ugomo-Asere ahira Yunusa wanno wa kabi abanna me uye ma yenne sa mateki yunusa me.
33 [Then, to show them that they did not need more miracles, but that they needed only to understand better what he had already told them, he said to them] [MET], “People who light a lamp do not then hide it, or put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on a lampstand so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light. [Similarly, I have not concealed God’s truth. I have revealed it to you].
Daki uye marani sa madi 'Ponsi' upitila ma hunze unin, nyani ma impi uni unu ucorom, abanna madi inki uni ahira aticukun ti uni barki vat de be sa ribe anyimo udenge me ama iri masaa me.
34 Your eyes [MET] are like a lamp for your body, because they enable you to see things. If your eyes are healthy, you are able to see everything well [MET]. [Similarly, if you(sg) accept my teaching, you will be able to know all that God wants you to know]. But if your eyes are bad, you are not able to see anything. It is like being in darkness [MET]. [And similarly, if you(pl) do not accept what I teach, you will not be able to know all the things that God wants you to know].
Aje ashi me ane ani upitila ushi me, inki aje ashi me ahira memerom, apum ashi me adi minca in masaa, abanna me inki aje ashi ada hira memorm ba, apum ashi me adi cukuno in mariu.
35 Therefore, [you(pl) do not need to see more miracles. You need to think carefully about what I have already] told you, so that the things that you have heard from others do not cause you to remain in spiritual darkness [MET].
Wusani Seke, barki kati masaa me macukuno shi mariu.
36 If you [live completely according to God’s truth, you will be able to know everything that God wants you to know. It will be like] being in a room with a lamp shining brightly, enabling you to see everything clearly.”
Inki vat apum ashi me aminca in masaa, mariu mazoni ko cingilin, vat apum acukuno gusi upitila uge sa uzin in masaa ma uni ahira a “Shi me”.
37 While Jesus finished saying those things, a Pharisee invited him to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to [his house] and ate with him.
Uganiya sa māmari tize me ure ubafarise magu ame ma ē akura ameme mari imare, Yeso maribe macukono.
38 The Pharisee was surprised when he saw that Jesus did not follow the Pharisees’ ritual by washing his hands before eating. [The Pharisees washed their hands in a certain way to be cleansed from anything that might have contaminated them. They were afraid that God might reject them if they] had [touched something unacceptable to God].
Ubafirse madusa makunna biyyau barki ma iri me ma dunkuno aree imare saarki ukpico utari.
39 The Lord [Jesus] said to him, “You Pharisees are [concerned about things that are outside your bodies, not with what is in your] ([inner beings/hearts]) [MET]. You wash the outside of cups and dishes [before you eat because you think that doing that will make you acceptable to God], but within yourselves you are very greedy and wicked.
Abanna me ugomo-Asere magua me shi Afarisiya ikpicjo kamaru kisso nan u isso idang, abanna a nyimo me a ciki in madini nan mu mummu gbem amu ruba.
40 You foolish people! [God] is concerned about things that are outside [our bodies], but (he is certainly also concerned about our inner [beings]!/isn’t he also concerned about our hearts?) [RHQ]
Shi anabu anuu uzatu ubasa utize, debe sa mabara matara me daki memani mabara anyimo me ba?
41 Give [money] to those who are poor. [Give according to what you know within] your (inner [/heart]) [that you should give]. Then you [will be surprised to realize that] you will be acceptable [to God without having to perform all those rituals about washing].
Nyani imum be sa izi yanu dira abanna vat imumu idi cukuno shi lau.
42 But there will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees! You give to God a tenth of [all you produce, even] the various herbs that you grow, but you do not [remember that you must act] justly [toward others] and love God! It is good to [give a tenth of your income to God], but you ought to do these other things also!
Abanna me, kash ushi anu bezi urusa, ayenne ikapsa bi inde azezsere ukirau umu pene, nan ti tuni-tizuu nan kondi tiya titene tu nyinza u gmei, abanna me ya samirka imum ihuuma nan irere ya Asere. Gbas ini a wuzi imum irere, ti hem Asere, a wuzi ukasu ati roronga.
43 There will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees, because you like [to sit in] the best seats in our worship places [so that people will think highly of you], and you like people to greet you [respectfully] in the marketplaces.
Kash ushi anurusa, barki inyara anya tihira titicukum tirere anyimo ati denge ta Asere, akuri a Issi shi a u usi shi ninonzo anyimo ukasuwa.
44 There will be terrible punishment for you, because you are like ground where there is no marker [to indicate that there is a] grave [underneath]. People walk there, but they cannot see [what is rotten down below] [MET]! [Similarly, people who see you do not realize how polluted you are within yourselves].”
Kash ushi izi kasi mucau sa daki awuzi muni uraa amaru ba, anubo wanno wa haka azezsere amuni azo uguna warusa ba.
45 One of those who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, by saying this you [(sg)] are criticizing us [also]!”
Ure unu bezizi anyimo anu rusa Ayahudawa mā kabirka magua we, unu bezizi imum be sa wa buka ya caran duru iriba cangi.
46 Jesus said, “It will be terrible also for you who teach the [Jewish] laws! You require people [to obey many rules that are difficult to obey] [MET]. [That is like making them] carry heavy burdens on their backs. But you yourselves do not obey the laws [that you require others to obey]. (OR, you do not do anything to help [others to obey the laws].)
Yeso magu, “Kash ushi anu bezizi utize! Abana ya cana unu ucira ugilak ugebe sa teki nikara vat. Abanna shi, in nipo ma daki ya dara tironga me ba.
47 There will be terrible punishment for you! You decorate the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed, [but you do not live according to what the prophets taught].
Kash ushi, abanna me ibara tiroronga ti ringizi amucau ma a dura Asere ayene unu uneze unu uneze ushi memani wa huu me.
48 So you are declaring that you approve of what your ancestors did. They killed the prophets, and you [are not honoring the prophets! You just] decorate their tombs!
Ya cukuno ane unu guna irusa inti hara tinu uneze-uneze ushi me, barki we wa huu ana kudura ka Asere sa iringizi in we.
49 So God, who is very wise [PRS], said, ‘I will send prophets and apostles [to you Jews]. [You] will kill some of them and cause some of them to suffer greatly.
Barki agino abanga urusa Asere wagu “Indi tumi ahana kadura nan ana dura ka Asere ahira aweme wadi kuri patti we, wa huuzi aye anyimo awe me.
50 [As a result, I] will consider that many of you people [who have observed my Son’s ministry] will be guilty [MTY] [of murder, as if you had] killed all the prophets that other people have killed, from the time I created the world,
Ucara ugene me, udi ziki kaduma ka mayye mana kadura Asere sa ahuu datti utuba unee.
51 starting from [Adam’s son Cain] killing [his brother] Abel and continuing until they killed the prophet Zechariah [in the holy place] between the altar and the temple.’ Yes, what I am saying [is true] [MTY]. [God] will punish you people who have observed my ministry, you people whom [he] considers to be guilty [MTY] for [killing] all those prophets!
Usuro amayye mattabila uhana ama Zakariya unuge sa ahuu atii hira utonzino unu tize ta Asere ti lau. Ee, mabuki shi adi nyari mayeje magino me ucara ugino me.
52 There will be terrible punishment for you men who teach the [Jewish] laws, because you have [not let people] know [God’s truth] [MET]! [It is as though you are] taking away a key [to a house]. You are not going into [the house] yourselves, and you are not letting other people enter it, either.”
Kash ushi, anu bezizi urusa uti ze ta Yahudawa, barki ya zi kani imum ipoko ana tukumm urusa, shi acce ashime daki ya ribe ni ba, ya kuri ya kanti anu rie-uribe.
53 After Jesus finished saying those things, he left there. Then the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees began to act in a very hostile way toward him. They tried to make him say what he thought about many things.
Sa Yeso ma ceki abanna me, unu nyetike nan Farisayawa wa wuzi ni eru nan me, wa wuzi matara nan me ti roronga gbardang.
54 They kept waiting for him to say something [wrong] for which they could accuse him.
Wazin unu nyara uti nah be sa wadi maki me anyimo a gbarang sa mazinu uboo me.
