Luke 6
1 One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), while Jesus was walking through some grain fields with his disciples, the disciples picked some of the heads of grain. They rubbed them in their hands [to separate the grains from the husks], and ate the grain. [The law of Moses permitted people to do that if they were hungry].
Na iwa di lirin Nassabath na Yesu wadin cin nanya kunen ni leu acurmye wadin nkulu nati ni leu, ipara na cara mene ituna nlee.
2 Some Pharisees [who were watching] said to Jesus, “(You should not be doing on our rest day [work] that [our] laws forbid!/Why are you doing on our rest day [work] that our laws forbid?)” [RHQ]
Amon nanya na Farisiyawa woro, “Inyari ita idin nsu nilemong le na i caun isu liri na Sabbth ba?”
3 [Jesus wanted to show them that the record in Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food]. [So] he replied, “[It is written in the Scriptures] what [our revered ancestor, King] David did when he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, ([but you do not think about what it implies/so why do you not think about what it implies]?) [RHQ]
Yesu kauwa nani a woro, “Na anung na karanta imung ile na Dauda wasu kube na wa lazan kukpong, ligowe nan nanit na iwa di nanghe?
4 David entered God’s big worship tent [and asked for some food]. [The high priest gave him] the bread that the priests had presented to God. It was permitted [in] one of [Moses’ laws] that only the priests could eat that bread. But [even though David was not a priest], he ate some, and gave some to the men who were with him. [And God did not consider that what David did was wrong]!”
Awa piru kilari Kutelle, ayira uburodi ule na iwa ceu a leu umon nanya ukuru ama alenge na imadi ligo we nan ghe un na priestari cas ile.”
5 Jesus also said to them, “[I am] the one who came from heaven, so [I] have the authority [to determine what is right for my disciples to do on] the day of rest!”
Anin woro nani, “Gono nit Ucifari un na Sabath.”
6 Another (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) Jesus entered a (synagogue/Jewish meeting place) and taught the people. There was a man there whose right hand was shriveled.
Uda among Asabar na awa piru nanya kutii nlira adin dursuzu anite kikane umong unit wa diku nin ku girin cara.
7 The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees [who were there] watched Jesus, to see if he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this so that, [if he healed the man], they would accuse him [of disobeying their laws by working on the day of rest].
Anan niyert nang na Farisiyawa wadin yenju susut sa a ba shinu nin mung unan konu lirin na Sabath, inan se imong ile na inna Vuruzughe mung.
8 But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Come and stand here [in front of everyone]!” So the man got up and stood there.
Bara nani ayino ile imung na idin kpilizue nibinai myene a woron nle na ucara di kuger, “Fita, uyisin kitill nanite.” Unite fita a yisina kitene.
9 Then Jesus said to the others, “I ask you this: Do the laws that [God gave Moses] permit [people] to do what is good (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit people] to harm [others]? [Do they permit us] to save [a person’s] life [on our day of rest] or to let [him] die [HYP] [by refusing to help him]?”
Yesu woro nani, natirin minu, ucaun isu imong icine liri na Sabatha sa isu inanzang i tucu ulai ya sa inanza unin?”
10 [They refused to answer him. So] after he looked around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out your [shriveled] hand!” The man did that, and his hand became all right again!
A yenje nani vat anin woro anite, “Nakpa ucara fe.” Ata nani ucara mye kpilaku.
11 But the men who taught the Jewish laws and the Pharisees were very angry, and they discussed with one another what they could do to [get rid of] Jesus.
Bara nani ayi mine nana ilira nanya natimine, kitene nile imon na ibasu Yesu ku.
12 About that time [Jesus] went up into the hills to pray. He prayed to God all night.
Uso nani, nanya nayiri ane a ghana kitene liikup asu nliran, a leo ubun nin kiitike vat nlira kiti Kutelle.
13 The next day he summoned all his disciples to come near him. From them he chose twelve men, whom he called apostles.
Kubi na kiti nshanta, ayicila nono katuwa mye, a fere annit likure alenge tutung na iwa ni nani lissa “anan kadura.”
14 They were Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name, Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James and [his younger brother], John; Philip; Bartholomew;
Tisa nanan kadura mye inughe Simon (ulenge na iwa nighe lisa Bitrus) nin gwana mye Andrawus, Yakubu, Yohanna, Filibus, Bartamalawus,
15 Matthew, whose other name was Levi; Thomas; [another] James, the [son] of Alpheus; Simon, who belonged to the party [that encouraged people to] rebel [against the Roman government];
Matta, Tomas, Yakubu usaun Alfa, Simon, ulenge na idin yicughe Zaloti,
16 Judas, the [son] of [another] James; and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), the one who later (betrayed Jesus./enabled the Jewish leaders to seize Jesus.)
Yahuda usaun Yakubu, nin Yahuda Iskariyoti ulenge na aba lewughe.
17 [Jesus] came down from the hills with his disciples and stood on a level area. There was a very big crowd of his disciples there. There was also a large group of people who had come from Jerusalem and from many [other] places [in] Judea [district], and from the coastal areas near Tyre and Sidon [cities].
Kube Yesu tolo kitene likupe nan ghinu ida yisina kiti kitendelen, ligozi na nan katuwa mye gbardang wa duku, nin ligozi nani gbardang na inuzu Nyahudiya nin Urushelima, nin nbui kurawa Sidoniya a Utaya.
18 They came to hear Jesus talk to them and to be healed {and for him to heal them} from their diseases. He also healed those whom evil spirits had troubled.
Iwa daka ida lanza ghe, ukuru ise ushinu nin tikonu mine, anit alenge na iwadi nniu nin nruhu unanzang iwa shinn.
19 Everyone [in the crowd] tried to touch him, because he was healing everyone by [his/God’s] power.
Ko gha nanya ligoze wa dinin su a dudo ghe bara likara nshishinu vat.
20 He looked [MTY] at his disciples and said, “[God] is pleased with you [who know] that you lack what [he wants you to have; ] he will allow you to be the people whose lives he rules over.
Ame yene anan katuwa mye a woro, “Anung anan nmariari ulenge na idi akimon, bara anughere anan kipin tigo Kutelle.
21 [God] is pleased with you who sincerely desire to receive what [MTY] [he wants you to have]; he will give you what you need, until you are satisfied. [God] is pleased with you that grieve now [because of sin]. Later you will be joyful.
Anan nmariari unughe na idi lanzu kukpon nene, bara anug ba shittu, anan nmariari anughe na idi kuculu, bara iba su tisina.
22 [God] is pleased with you when [other] people hate you, when they will not let you join them, when they insult you, when they say that you are evil because [you believe in] me, the one who came from heaven.
Anan nmariari anughe asa anit nnari munu, kubi na ikoso ligo nan ghinu, isu munu nshina, inani nanza munu lisa nworo anug umuguari, bara upiziru lisa ngono nnit.
23 When that happens, rejoice! Jump up and down because you are so happy! [God will give] you a great reward in heaven! [When they do these things to you, it will prove that you are God’s servants]. (OR, [People have always treated God’s servants like that].) Do not forget that these people’s ancestors did the same things to the prophets [who served God faithfully]!
Suun liburi libo liyiri lole, inyizin bara ulanzu nmang, bara fe base uduk udia nanya kitene kani bara acif mine nanere iwa su anan kadura Kutelle.
24 But there will be terrible punishment for you that are rich; the happiness you have received [from your riches] is the only happiness that you will get.
Kash anung anang nimon nacara, barra imal seru uduk mine.
25 There will be terrible punishment for you who [think that you] have all that you need now; you will [realize] that these things will not make you feel satisfied. There will be terrible punishment for you who are joyful now; you will [later] be very sad.
Kash anung alenge na ishitin nene, bara kukpon ba da munu nin ndu nbun, kash anung na idi tisina. nene, iba su tiyom nin kuculu nin ndu nbun.
26 When most [HYP] people speak well about you, trouble is ahead for you; [it will not prove that you are God’s servants, because] your ancestors used to speak well about those who falsely [claimed that they were] prophets.”
Kash anung alenge na anit di nliru gegeme kitene mine, bara acif wa su anan nliru kinu nin nnu Kutelle nanere.
27 “But I say this to each of you [disciples] who are listening [to what I say]: Love your enemies [as well as your friends]. Do good things for those who hate you!
Bara nani meng di belle munu na idin lanzu, taan usu na nan nivira nanghinu, isu imon icine kiti nalenge na inari munu.
28 [Ask God to] bless those who curse you! Pray for those who mistreat you!
Taan aleenge na itamunu unnu nmari, suun alenge na idin tumunu ineo nliran.
29 If someone [insults one of you by] striking you on one of your cheeks, turn your face [so that he can strike] the other cheek [also]. If [a bandit] wants to take away your [(sg)] coat, let him also have your shirt.
Ame ulenge na areoufi kuwwau kpiliya ghe kunbe, asa umon bollo ugudum fe munu ghe kulutuk fe ku tutun.
30 Give something to everyone who asks you [(sg) for something]. If someone takes away things that belong to you [(sg)], do not ask him to return them.
Na vat nlenge na atirin fi, asa umon nbollo imomon na idi infe, na uwa tiringhe anifi ba.
31 In whatever way you [(pl)] want others to act toward you, that is the way that you should act toward them.
Ile imon na fe idinin su anit sufi fe wang su nani.
32 If you love [only] those who love you, do not [expect God] to praise you for [doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners love those who love them.
Asa fe din su usu nalenge na idinin su fere cas, iyaghari uduk fe? Vat inung anan kulapi dinin nsu nalenge na idinin su mine.
33 If you do good things [only] for those who do good things for you, do not [expect God] to reward you [for doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners do that.
Asa udin suu imon icine kiti nale na idin su fi imon icine, iyaghari uduk fe? Nanere wang anan kulapi din su we.
34 If you lend [things or money only] to those who you expect will give something back to you, do not [expect that God] will reward you [RHQ] [for doing that]. Even sinners lend to other sinners, because they expect them to pay everything back.
Asa udin yenju iba biufi, iyaghari uduk fe? Inung anan kulapi din nizu ure kiti nalenge na idin yenju iba kpillu ini nani tutun.
35 Instead, love your enemies! Do good things for them! Lend to them, and do not expect them to pay anything back! [If you do that, God will give] you a big reward. And you will be [acting like] his children [should]. Remember that God is kind to people who are not grateful and to people who are wicked, [and he expects you to be like that too].
Taa usu nnan nivira nin fi, usu ghe gegeme. Niza nani ure na iwa ceo kibinai nworu uba seru ba, uuduk fe ba yitu gbardang, uba so gono nnan kitene kani. Bara ame liti mye din su gegeme kiti nale na idinsu ugodiya ba.
36 Act mercifully toward others, just like your Father [in heaven acts] mercifully [toward you].”
Lanza nkune kune, nafo Ucif fe na adin lanzu nkunekune.
37 “Do not say how sinfully others have acted, and then [God] will not say how sinfully you have acted. Do not condemn others, and then [he] will not condemn you [DOU]. Forgive others [for the evil things that they have done to you], and then [God] will forgive you.
Na uwa ti umon aso unan kulapi ba, bara fe wang iwa su fi nani. Na uwa mollu umon ba. Fewang na iba mollu fi ba, shawa nin kulapi namong, fewang iba shawu nin kunfe.
38 Give [good things to others], and then [God] will give [good] things to you. It will be [as though] [MET] [God is putting things in a basket] for you. He will give you a full amount, pressed down in the basket, which he will shake [so that he can put more in], and it will spill over the sides! [Remember that] the way you act [toward others] will be the way that [God] will act toward you!”
Niza anit fewang iba niiti, uni udia na iba zinlinu ukuru ituku bara kuyanga kongo na uguro uman mun, kunere iba guni fe ku mun.”
39 He also told [his disciples] this parable [to show them that they should be like him, and not be like the Jewish religious leaders]: “(You certainly would not [expect] a blind man to lead another blind man./Would you [expect] a blind man to lead [another] blind man?) [RHQ] If he tried to do [that], (they would both probably fall into a hole!/wouldn’t they both probably fall into a hole?) [RHQ] [I am your teacher, and you disciples should be like me].
Akuru a belle nani tinan tigoldo. “Unan uduu waansa adursu umon unit uduu libauwa? Asa asu nani vat mine ba diu nanya kuwu, su nani ba?
40 A disciple should not [expect to be] better known than his teacher. But if a student is fully trained {if someone fully trains a student}, the student can become like his teacher [MET]. [So you should be content to be like me].
Unan nmasu nyinnu nimon wasa akata unan dursuzu mye ba, bara kogha kubi ko na amala umase, aba so nafo unan dursuzu mye.
41 (Why do you notice [someone else’s small faults]?/None of you should be concerned about [someone else’s small faults] [MET, RHQ].) [That would be like] noticing a speck in that person’s eye. But you should be concerned about [your own big faults. They are like] planks in your own eye, [which you do not notice].
Ani iyaghari nta udin yenju limoo nanya niyizin gwana fine, na idin yenju kukunti na ku di niyizifi ba?
42 (You [(sg)] should not say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye!/Why do you say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye?) [RHQ] [If you do that], you are a hypocrite! You should first [stop committing your own sins. That will be like] removing the plank from your own eye. Then, as a result, you will have the spiritual insight you need to help others get rid of the [faults that are like] specks in their eyes.”
Iyizirari uba bellu gwana fine, 'Gwana nan nkala limoo longo na lidi nanya niyizi,' fe litife na uyene kukunti na ku di nanya niyizife? Fe unan rusuzu liti! Burno ukala kukunti nanya niyisife, nin nani unin yene gegeme limoo longo na lidi niyizin gwana fine.
43 “[People are like trees] [MET]. Healthy trees do not bear bad fruit (OR, bear only good fruit), and unhealthy trees do not bear good fruit.
Bara na kon kutca kucine wansa anaa kumat kunanzang ba, sa kutca kunanzan nii kumat kucine ba.
44 [Just like you] can tell if a tree is good or bad by looking at its fruit, [you can tell which people are good and which are bad by looking at the way they] conduct their lives. [For example, because thornbushes cannot produce figs], no one can pick figs from thornbushes. And [since bramble bushes cannot produce grapes], no one can [pick] grapes from bramble bushes.
Bara ko kuyemu kutca idin kunin bara kumat mere. Bara na anit wasa ikala kupu kidowo fimart ba, nanere iwasa ikala inabi nanya fimart kusho.
45 [Similarly], good people will conduct their lives in a good way because they think a lot of good [things], and evil people will live in an evil way because they think a lot of evil [things]. The basic principle is that people speak [and act] according to all that they think.”
Unit ucine nanya nile imon na adin cisu kibinai mye, asa abelle imon ile na idi icine, unan magunta nutuno imon inanzang ile na idi kibinai mye nin nnu mye.
46 “[Because people should obey what their masters tell them], (it is disgraceful that you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you!/why do you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you?) [RHQ]
Iyaghari nta idin yicie, 'Cikilari, Cikilari,' nin nani na idin dortu imon ile na nbellen munu ba?
47 Some people come to me, and hear my messages and obey them. I will tell you what they are like.
Vat ulenge na ada kiti nighe, a lanza tigbulang adofino tinin a di nafo.
48 They are like a man who dug deep [into the ground to prepare to build his house]. He made sure that the foundation was on solid ground. Then when there was a flood, the water tried to wash away the house. But the river could not shake the house, because it was built {he built it} on a solid [foundation].
Adi nafo unit ule na akee kilari amini nwuzu kiteen anin tuno kutyi ata atata ku. Kubi na uwuru nda kang nmyen nda kilari kane wasa kizillino ba, bara kidinin litino licine.
49 But some people hear my messages but do not obey them. They are like a man who built a house on top of the ground without [digging] a foundation. When the river flooded, the house collapsed immediately and was completely ruined. [So it is important for you to obey what I teach you].”
Bara nani, ulenge na a lanza tigbulang ninghe na adofino tinin ba, aba so nafo unite ulenge na kidiin sa litino licine, aswu uwuru ntolo, nmyen ndofino kilari kane, deddei ki diu, na udiu wa ba caunuu ba.”
