Luke 9
1 [One day] Jesus summoned his twelve [apostles], and gave them power to expel all [kinds of] demons and to heal [people with] diseases. He gave them authority to do that.
Matti anu tarsa umeme anu kirau in ware mangawe ubari wasuzo a gberge ne ko ayayya, mahu mu zanina na ti koni.
2 [Before] he sent them out to heal people and to tell people [what it meant to let] God (rule/have complete control [over]) [their lives],
Ma tumu we, wabu tize titi gomo Asere wakuri wahum zan na na ti koni.
3 he said to them, “Do not take things for your journey. Do not take a walking stick or a [traveler’s] bag or food or money. Do not take (an extra shirt/extra clothes).
Magunwe, katti izi imum barki tam u tigino me ba, kati izi ubina nani ubadau barki tanu, a imumare nan ni kirfi kati iba zika turunga ka re.
4 Whenever you enter some house [to lodge there], stay in that house until you leave that town.
Vatta akurame saya ribe, ni icukuno akurame uhana uganiya sa idi dusa i kini u watu gino me.
5 [In towns] where the people do not welcome you, [you should not continue to stay there. Just] leave those towns. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [Do that to] warn them [that God will punish them for rejecting your message].”
Vatti ande sa daki wawuna shi ma habiba, inki idi ceki nipin me, ikuburu ususuru utibuna ti shi anyo u inko u ira ahira awe.
6 Then they left and traveled through many villages. Everywhere [they went], they told people God’s good message and healed sick people.
Abini me anu tarsa ume wadusa agiro, wa kisa tizeme, innu wuza ire koba nan nanu.
7 Herod [Antipas], the ruler of [that] district, heard about the things that [Jesus and his disciples] were doing. [He had previously commanded his soldiers to execute John the Baptizer, so now] he was perplexed, because some people were saying that John had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].
Azi Hiridus, una tigoma, makun na ubo abangame vatti imumba sa izinnu ken zi. Ma wuzi ugamara u tize barka sa are anu wagusa Yahaya unu zursu za anu mani maku ri maze inn vengize.
8 Others were saying that [the prophet] Elijah had appeared [again as had been prophesied]. Others were saying that one of the [other] former prophets had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].
Aye wakur wagusa, Iliya unu kurzu zo utize mani ma aye, a aye in nu gussa uye mani anyimo anu kur zuzo utize tu daati tini makuru ma aye innu vengize.
9 But Herod said, “[It cannot be John who is doing these things], [because] I [commanded my soldiers to] cut off his head. So who is [this man] that I am hearing these things about?” And he kept wanting to see [Jesus].
Hiridus magu, “Dakki Yahaya mani ba, barki makori kome nice. Ani aveni mazi geme sa inzunu kunzi nna mumu iginome ani ce nume?” A anime mari aje mu nyara u naa sa madi iri Yeso.
10 When the apostles returned [from traveling to various towns], they told Jesus the things that they had done. Then he took them and they went by themselves [by boat] to a town called Bethsaida.
Sa anaka dura waze usuro a tanu tuwe, wabuki Yeso vatti imumbe sawa wuza. Abine mazi kuwe barki wadusa nigome nan me uhana ani pin nu Baitsaida.
11 But when the crowds [of people who had been with Jesus] found out about that, they followed him [on land. When they got to where he was], he welcomed them. He taught them about how God is going to some day (rule as king/have complete control [over people’s lives]). He also healed the sick people.
Sa ni ori na kunna ahira sa Yeso mahana, ba wa tarsime uhana a birko me. Mawuwe rabashi mawuzi we tize abanga ati gomota Asere, makari anu be sa wa nya ra ni huma.
12 Late in the afternoon Jesus’ twelve [apostles] came to him and said, “This is a place where nobody lives, so dismiss the people so that they can go to the surrounding villages and other places where they can get some food and find places to stay!”
Ā uwunjoro watuba uwuna anu tarsa umeme anu kirau in nana ware wa e wagunme, “Inki wahem u gu inni gura ni geme ni mari barki anu waribi ze agiro, sa akete tiru, barki wakemi imumare nan tihira sa wadi musini, barki sa tirani ahira me sa anu wazoni!
13 But he said to them, “[No], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!” They replied, “We [(exc)] have only five small loaves and two [cooked] fish. Are you [(sg)] going to [give] us [the money] to go somewhere and buy food for all these people?”
Ba ma gunwe, “Nyani we imumme sa wadiri”. Wakabirkame “Vatti imumbe sa tizini ine ini, 'Kukasu ku borodi mugitu munu ciibi nan mi cere muni mure, tidake tida ke kemme imumare sa idi bari anabu vattiba'.
14 There were about 5,000 men [there]. He replied to the disciples, “[No], [just] tell the people to sit down. Tell them to sit in groups, with about 50 people in each group.”
Anume sa wara ahirame wabiki ugbardang aha aruma ukirau kanu kanu kanu ciibi Bayeso magu inna nu tarsa umeme, “Gunani nanu wacuku zuno tigo-tigo, anu akuru ciibi kō niya nigo.”
15 After they told the people that, they all sat down.
Ba anu tarsa ume me wawuzi a nime, anu vat wa cukuno.
16 Then he took the five small loaves and the two fish. He looked up towards heaven and thanked [God for them]. Then he broke them [into pieces] and gave them to the disciples so that they would distribute them to the crowd.
Ma zikka mugitu mimumare munu cii bi, nan ni ceremire, mazin hirame uhana azesere maringirka ini, ma zikki mapusi, manya anu tarsa ume me barki wa hari anu.
17 All [the people in the crowd] ate until they all had enough to eat. Then [the disciples] collected twelve baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over!
Vat uwe wari ko avi mati. Abine anu tarsa umeme wa ori ukasu i mumare saya de, mugira munu kirau in muni mure mumyinca!
18 [One day] Jesus was praying in a place where only the disciples were with him. He asked them, “The crowds [of people], who do they say that I [really] am?”
U ru wui Yeso mazin ibi ringara me isisi me, ba anu tarsa u meme wa e bama ikwe, “Anu wagu san mi aveni?”
19 They replied, “[Some people say that you are] John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say that you are [the prophet] Elijah, [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. Others say that you are one of the [other] prophets who lived long ago, who has come back to life again.”
Wa kabirka, “Aye wagusa, Yahaya unu zorso anu, aye wagusa hulliya mani unu kurzuzo utize. A ana me aye wa gussa hu uye mani anu kurzu zo utize tu daāti mani ma aye in nu vengize”.
20 He asked them, “What about you [(pl)]? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied, “You [(sg)] are the Messiah, who [has come from] God.”
Ma ikwe, “Shina? Igusani mi avi?” Bitrus ma kabirka, 'Hu wa suro a zesere ani”.
21 Then Jesus warned them strongly not to tell that to anyone [yet].
Ba Yeso ma nyawe tize in kara, kati wada buki uye ani ba.
22 Then he said, “[Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the [Jewish] elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws will reject me}. It is necessary that I be killed {that [people] will kill me}. Then on the third day [after that], I will become alive again.”
Anime magu, “Ya cukuno Gwas ini vana unu masi ijas ati mumum gbardang: Ananu wadi game nan na nu adandan akatuma nan anu nyitike, anime adi hume. Adumo ati ye ti taru adi hirzame innu vengize.
23 Then he said to all of them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself desire [to do]. [Specifically], you must be willing each day [MET] [to let others hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what is done to criminals who are forced] to carry [MET] crosses [to the place where they will be executed]. [That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].
Bama gunwe vat, “Vatti desa manyara matar sum, ya cukuno me gbas ma wu matara mani ce nume, maziki ugankirka ume koya umaya, matarsum.
24 You must do that, because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] will live [forever with me].
Vat de sa manyara maburi nice nume, madidiri, inki wa nya iriba i we barki me, madi burime.
25 People might get everything that [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]!/are they really gaining anything if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]?) [RHQ]
Maya mareu mani unu madi kem inki makem unee vat, madiku diri ni ce nume?
26 Those who reject my message [and] refuse to say that [they belong] to me, [I], the one who came from heaven, will also refuse to say that [they belong to me] when I come back with the holy angels, and have the glorious brightness that my Father has.
Vat desa ma kunna mu i mum nan tize tum, vana unu madi kunna mu i mume cangi, inki maze anyimo u gogon ume nan nu gonggon wacoō a ibe ikadura kame ilau.
27 But listen carefully! Some of you [(pl)] who are here now will see God ruling [MET] [in many powerful ways]. You will see it before you die!”
Anime inboshi gbas, aye anyimo a shime sa ira aba ituri, wadida wonome ba senke wa ira ti gomo ta Asere.
28 About a week after [Jesus] said those things, he took Peter, James, and [James’ brother] John and led them up a mountain so that he could pray [there].
Tiye u wititari sata aki Yeso mabuki aguran aginome, Bama ziki Bitrus nan Yahaya a Yakubu, manyine ani po barki wuzi biran gara ahira me.
29 As he was praying, his face appeared very different to them. His clothes became as bright as lightning.
Uganiya sa ma zin nu wuza ubi ringara matiri muhenu mume turnga tume me ticukuno tirum pau imma sa kasi umelme Asere.
30 Suddenly, two men appeared who had the brightness [of heaven] surrounding them. They were [prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah. They started talking with Jesus about how he [would accomplish what God had planned when he died] [EUP] [very soon] in Jerusalem.
Sisi ahira me ba ake ana ware wazin tize nan me, Musa nan Iliya.
Wa e innu gongon ukatuwe, wabuki tize nan Yeso usuro Utanu tume sa ti di e dakin nu dodon kino ba a Urshalima.
32 Peter and the other [disciples] who were with him were sound asleep. When they woke up, they saw [Jesus’] brightness. They also saw the two men standing with him.
Bitrus nan anu tarsa me sawazi ni gome nan me muro mazikuwe gittak sa wa zuma bawa iri ni nonzo ni Yeso; wa iri anu awe me ware waturi nan me.
33 As [Moses and Elijah] were starting to leave Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is wonderful for us to be here! Allow us to make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah!” But he really did not realize what he was talking about.
Uganiya sa Musa nan Iliya wazin nu bara abanga wa kini ahira Yeso. Ba Bitrus magu, “Hu unaje, ya wuna uri sa tira abame. Idi wu uri tibari madak mataru, u inde barki hu, u inde barki Musa unde barki Iliya “Kadure matame imumbe sama zin nu bome ba.
34 As he was saying that, a [bright] cloud appeared and covered them all. The disciples were afraid as the cloud surrounded them.
Sa mazin nu bome anime ba nire niwiri nie ni impuwe. Ba wa kun na biyau sa tiwiri me ta kete we.
35 [God] [MTY/EUP] spoke to them from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son. He is the one whom [I] have chosen [to do a great work for me]. [So] you must listen to him!”
Ba akunna nire ni myiran anyimo atiwiri nigusa, “Unu gino me vana um mani sama zauka kunnani me”.
36 After [God] [MTY/EUP] finished saying that, [the three disciples] saw that only Jesus was there. They did not tell anyone what they had seen until much later.
Sa nimyiran na mara tize, Yeso ni isisi ime. Wawu tik daki waru sa ubuka imumba azesere imumbe sa wa ira atiye tiginome.
37 The next day, after they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd [of people] met Jesus.
Sa ahira a sana, sawa tono usuro inipo, ba ni ori nanu gbardang wa e ahira ame.
38 Then a man from the crowd exclaimed, “Teacher, I plead with you, [do something to help] my son! He is my only child!
A hira me sisi uru nu anyimo ani ori na nume mabuki tize in kar, “Unu dungara, wuza irimum barki u benki vana um, me isisi me ini ahira am.
39 At various times an evil spirit suddenly seizes him and [causes] him to scream. The evil spirit shakes him violently and causes him to foam at the mouth. It does not leave until my child is completely exhausted.
Bibe biburu bike binyene anice nu me, make mawuzi magowa. Ike izuruko me inni kara iwu me mame ki usozo ufuki anyo. Mahar zina in ni Jassi inni, ikke ikunno me iwono dakki cinba inki ya aye ya ciki me.
40 I pleaded with your disciples [who were here] for them to expel [the evil spirit], but they were not able to do it!”
Ma ikko anu tarsa uwowe wa buki bibe biburu bisuri anyimo ame, daki wa rusa ba!”
41 Jesus replied [by saying to everyone who had gathered there], “[You who have seen how I help people] do not believe [that you can do anything]. What you [think] is perverted! How long must I be with you [before you are able to do what I do] [RHQ]? [How long must I] endure your [lack of faith]?” [Then he said to the boy’s father], “Bring your [(sg)] son here [to me]!”
Yeso, Makabirka, magu, “Shi ucara u gambalan anu zatu hem, innu maya uni indi cukuno indo donki no nan shi? “Ayen vana uwome aban na.
42 While they were bringing the boy to Jesus, the demon attacked the boy, threw him to the ground, and shook him severely. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and healed the boy. Then he returned him to his father’s [care].
Sa vanaa ma eze, bibe biburu me be coofi vaname adizi, bi zuru kome kank. Yeso ma bubuki bibe biburu me, mawu vana mahuma manya a n ka coome.
43 All the people [there] were amazed at the great [power] of God. Luke 9:43b-45 While they were all amazed at all the miracles [Jesus] was doing, he said to his disciples,
Vatti uwe imumu ibiyau innu bezi ubari Asere. Sawa zinnu gamara abanga azesere imumu ubezi ubari sama wuza, magun innanu tarsa umeme,
44 “Think carefully [MTY] about what I am about to tell you: [Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, [I will soon] be handed over to the authorities (OR, my enemies) {[someone] is about to enable [MTY] my enemies to seize me}.”
“Kunna ni memmeru azesere unube san di buki shi, daki adi dodon ki ni ba adi nya vana unu atari tanu”.
45 But [the disciples] did not understand what he was saying; [God] prevented them from understanding it, so that they would not know [yet] what he meant. And they were afraid to ask him about [what he had said].
Anime daki anu tarsa ume meda ki wa rusa imumba samaba sa ani ba, akartuwe warusi, barki katii wa rusi imumbe sa ma da basa, wakunna biyau bu guna wa ikkime.
46 The disciples began to argue among themselves about which one of them would be the greatest [when Jesus became king].
Uru Ganiya, anu tarsa umeme wake watubi matara ace-ce awe me avee ni madicuku no unamu anyimo aweme.
47 But Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he brought a young child to his side.
Yeso masa rusa imumbe wa basa iriba iweme, bama ewen vana u cin ma turi upuru umeme.
48 He said to [the disciples], “Those who, because they [love] me, (OR, because they want to behave like me) welcome a little child ([like] this one/[as] I [would]) [MTY], [God considers that] [MET] they are welcoming me. And those who welcome me, [God considers] that [MET] they are welcoming him, the one who sent me. Remember that those among you who think of themselves as being very unimportant will be the ones [whom God considers] to be great.”
Ba ma gunwe, “Inke uye makaba vana u cin ugeme barki mi, repini gusi mimani. Inki uye madabam, makaba desa tuma ini. Desa mema ni ucicii anyimo ashiu, memani mate ki innu ira”.
49 John replied to [Jesus], “Master, we [(exc)] saw a man who was expelling demons, [claiming] that [he had] authority from you [MTY] to do that. So we told him to stop doing it, because he is not one of us [disciples].”
Yahaya makabirka magu, “Hu unanu ta ira urru nu mazin bo ibe iburu i susi anyimo anu inniza nuwome. Ba tigun ma ceki uwuza anime barki ma zinan haruba”.
50 But Jesus said to him [and the other disciples], “Do not tell him not to [do that]! Remember that those who are not opposing you are trying to [achieve the same goals that] you are!”
Yeso magu, “Katti kartime uwuza animeba, barki vat desa mazin nishi na nan shiba mazi nigome nan shi”.
51 When it was almost time for [God] to take Jesus up to heaven, he firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem.
Sa uwui wa wuna sa madi nyene u hana azesere, ma zikki kank madi dusa a Urshalima.
52 He sent some messengers to go ahead of him, and they entered a village in Samaria [district] to prepare for him [SYN] [to go there].
Ma tumi are anakadura (manzani) wabarka ahira barkime ma'e. Waribe a aragiro anyimo usamariya barki wa barka me ahira abirkome.
53 But [the Samaritans did not like the Jews because of their insisting that it was necessary to go to Jerusalem to worship God. So], because Jesus had firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem, they would not let him come [to their village].
A naa birko me daki wakabame ba tunsa u Urshalima uni madi dusa.
54 When two of his disciples, James and John, heard about that, they said, “Lord, do you [(sg)] want us [(exc)] to pray that [God] will send fire down from heaven, [as the prophet Elijah did long ago], and destroy those people?”
Sa ana ware anyimo anu tarsa u meme, watu Yakubu nan Yahaya waira anime, wagu, “Ugoma Asere, unyara tugunnura u tu ana zesere, uhuwe?”
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them [for saying that].
Magamirk ma gbarikawe,
56 So they went to a different village.
Ba wa dusa araagiro sas.
57 As Jesus and the disciples were walking along the road, one man said to him, “I will go with you [(sg)] wherever you go!”
Sa wa ra anyimo atanu una, ba urrunu magun me, “Indi tarsuwe vat ahira sa uhana”.
58 [In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with Jesus], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I am] the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep!”
Yeso ma kabirka, “I nya-nyau izinti wa adizi sa wa di ribe, inyin iyin masuu, vana unu mazin na hiraa sadi totiniba.
59 Jesus told another man, “Come with me!” But the man said, “Lord/Sir, let me go [home] first. [After] my father [dies] I will bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
Yeso, makuri magun urrunu, “Tar sam”. Unume magu, “Ugoma Asere, ceki inkuri akura indaka vati aino um”.
60 But Jesus said to him, “[God considers that those who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die. As for you, go and tell people about how God wants (to rule/to have complete control [over]) [people’s lives]!”
Yeso magun me, “Kini anu wijo wa varsi anu wijo: Hudusa uka kissa anu abanga atigomo ta Asere koo ba”.
61 Someone else said, “Lord, I will come with you and be your disciple, but first let me go home to say goodbye to my relatives.”
Uye ma kur magu, “Ugoma Asere idi tarsuwe, da cekkum inha inka wu na saa mura nan na nuam”.
62 Jesus said to him, “Anyone who is plowing his field should not look back [to see what he has done. He must look forward to what is ahead. Similarly], [anyone who continues to be concerned about his family and other things he has left behind] is not fit [to serve me and tell others about how] God wants to rule [MTY] [people’s lives].”
Yeso magun me, “Vat desa matuba avara uru ume magunkuno a dumo, daki mabari maribe at gomo ta Asere ba”.
