Matthew 10
1 He told [us] twelve disciples to come to him. Then he gave us the power/authority to expel evil spirits [that controlled people]. He also enabled [us] to heal all people who had diseases or who were sick.
Yesu yicila nono katwa me inung likure nan nawaba ligowe a na nani tigo kitene tiruhu tinanzang, i nutuzung nani ndas, ikuru ishizin nin vat tikonu a nsalin cine nidowo vat.
2 [Here is a list of us] twelve [disciples whom he called] apostles ([which means ‘messengers’]): Simon, [to whom he gave the new name] Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James, the son of Zebedee; John, the [younger] brother of James;
Nene tisan nono katwa we inung likure nan nawabe wadi ne. Unan cizune, Simon (urika na awa yicughe Bitrus), a Adrawus gwane; Yakub usaun Zabadin, nin Yuhana gwane;
3 Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; me, Matthew, the tax collector; James, the [son] of Alpheus; Thaddeus;
Filibus, nin Batalomi; Yakub usaun Alpensus, nin Tadawus;
4 Simon, a member of the party [that wanted to overthrow the Roman government; ] and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), who [later] enabled [the Jewish leaders] to seize Jesus.
Simon unan pizuru tigo nati, nin Yahuda Iskaroti, ulenge na ama lewughe.
5 When Jesus was [about to] send [us] twelve [apostles to tell his message to people in various places], he gave [us] these instructions: “Do not go where the non-Jews live [MTY] or into the towns [where the] Samaritans live, [because they hate you].
Ale likure nan nawabe Yesu wa tuu nani. a wunno nani atuf aworo, “Na iwa do kika alumai duku ba, tutung yenjen iwa piru kan kagbirin Samariya.
6 Instead, go to the people of Israel [SYN] who have [gone away from God like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET].
Nana na can kilarin nakam nwulun Israila.
7 When you go [to them], proclaim to them that God [EUP/MTY] will soon begin to rule over people.
Tutung asa inya, belen nani uliru Kutelle iworo, “udak kipin tigo Kutelle nda duru.'
8 Heal sick people, cause dead people to become alive, heal people who have leprosy, and cause demons to leave people [who are controlled by them] {[whom demons control]}. Do not charge money [for helping people, because God] did not charge you anything [for helping you].
Shizinon nin nanan tikonu, fyan anan kul, wesen anan tikutulu, tutung nutuzunon agbergenu. Inan filin munari, anung wang filizinang.
9 Do not take any money with you [MTY], nor a knapsack. Do not take an extra shirt, nor sandals [in addition to what you are wearing], nor a walking stick. Every worker deserves to get pay [from the people for whom he works], [so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
Na iwa yiru fizinariya, azurfa sa fi jangaci tika mine ba.
Yenjen iwa yaun nkan cin bara ucin mine, sa altuk aba, sa akpata, sa ucan ncin, bara unan katwa ma diru imonli me ba.
11 In whatever town or village you enter, find out which person is worthy [that you should stay in his home]. And as you go into that house, [ask God to] bless the people [who live there] [MTY]. Stay in that home until you leave [that town or village].
Vat kagbiri sa atii alenge na ipira, pizira ulenge na ado Kutelle nanye, isoku udu lilongo na ima nyiu.
Asa idin piru nanya kilare, lisonnani.
13 If the people who live in [MTY] that house are worthy [of being blessed] {[God blessing them]}, [God] will bless them. If the people who live in that house are not worthy [of being blessed] {[of God blessing them]}, [God] will bless you [instead of blessing them].
Iwa kawu minu mang na ayi asheu mine so nanghinu, anna ikawa minu mang ba na ayi asheu mine kpilin kiti mine.
14 If the people [who live in any house or town] do not welcome you [to their home or town], nor listen to your message, leave that house or town. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [By doing that, you will warn them that God will punish them for rejecting your message].
Inung tutung alenge na Isere minu ba, a na ilanza uliru mine ba, iwa nya yiu kilari kane sa kani kagbire, kotinon lidau nabunu mine.
15 Note this carefully: [At the time when God] judges [all people, he] will punish [the people who lived in] Sodom and Gomorrah [MTY], [the ancient cities which God destroyed because their people were extremely wicked]. But in any town where the people [MTY] refuse to hear your message, God will punish them even more severely.”
Kidegen ndin bellu minu, anan Sodom nin Gomora ma katinu nin lanzu mang lirin shara nin kani kabgwere.
16 “Take note: After I send you out, [you will be as defenseless] as sheep [MET] in the midst of [people who are as dangerous as] wolves. So you should wisely [stay away from such people, like you stay away from poisonous] snakes [SIM]. You should be as harmless as doves are [SIM].
Yenen, nto minu ndas nafo akam nanya niyiyo, bara nani, yitan jijin nafo iyii ikuru iyita sa unanzu nimon nafo awulung.
17 Also, be on guard against [our religious leaders]. They will arrest you and take you to the members of the religious councils [to put you on trial and punish you because you are my disciples]. You will be whipped {The local leaders will whip you} [in] their meeting places.
punon iyizi anit mung! Iba du ninghinu ubun nago, tutun nanya natii nlira mine iba kpizu minu.
18 [And] because [you teach] about me, you will be taken {[the religious leaders] will take you} to governors and kings [in order that they may put you on trial and punish you]. As a result, you will testify to those rulers and to [other] non-Jews [about what I have done].
Iba kuru ida ninghinu ubun na gomna nan nago bara meng, uma so nafo ushaida nanya nalumai.
19 When [the religious leaders] arrest you, do not be worried about what you will say [to them], because at that very time [the] Holy Spirit will tell you the words that you should say.
Iwa do ninghinu kiti mine, yenje iwa fo kidowo kitene nimon ilenge na ima bellu, bara imon ilenge na ima bellu ima niminu nanyan koni kube.
20 It is not that you [will decide what to] say. Instead, you will say what the Spirit of your [heavenly] Father tells [you to say].
Bara na anughere ma su ulire ba, Uruhu Kutelle nanya minere ma liru.
21 [You will be taken] {[People who do not believe in me will] take you} to the authorities to be killed [because you believe in me. For example], people will betray their brothers, and fathers will betray their children. Children will rebel against their parents and cause [them] to be killed.
Gwana ma lewu gwana idi molu, Ucif tutung gonome. Nono mafitu mayardang nin nacif mine inin tizu nani idi molsu nani.
22 Many people will hate you [because you believe in me]. Nevertheless, [many people] will keep on believing in me until they die. They are the people whom [God] will take to live with him.
Anit vat ba nari minu bara lissaning. Ama vat nlenge na atere kibinayi udu liganye, ama se utucu.
23 When people in one town cause you to suffer, escape to another town [and tell the people there about me]. Note this: [I], the one who came down from heaven, will certainly return [to earth] before you have finished going from one town to another town throughout Israel [and telling people about me].
Iwa kara minu nka kagbiri, con udu kan, bara kidegenere idin bellu minu, na ima nuzu vat uduru nigbirin Israila ba, gonon Nit ma dak.
24 A disciple should not [expect to be] greater than his teacher, and servants [are not] superior to their master.
Na gono unan masu wasa akata unan dursuzu me ba, sa kucin yita nbun Cikilari me.
25 You do not [expect that] people will [treat] a disciple better than [they treat] his teacher, or that [they will treat] a servant [better than they treat] his master. [Similarly, because I am your teacher and master, you can expect that people will mistreat you, because they have mistreated me]. The most you can expect is that people [will treat you like they treat me. I am like] the ruler of a household [MET]. But people [have insulted me by] calling [me] Beelzebub, [the ruler of the demons]. So they [will] certainly [insult you more, you who are only like] members of my household [MET]!”
Ubatina ame unan mase so nafo unan dursuzu me, nanere kucin nafo Cikilari me, iwa yicila Cikilare Belzubal, ma ngbardang nanzu nale na idi nanya kilari me ma yitu nyizari!
26 “Do not be afraid of [people who insult you and do evil things to you. God wants] everything that is unknown now to be revealed {[God wants you to] reveal everything [that is unknown now]}. [He does] not [want his truth] to remain hidden [MET] and kept secret [DOU].
Bara nani, na iwa lanza fiu mine ba, bara na imomong duku na itursun, ilenge na ima punu ba, a na imong duku ilenge na iyeshin ile na ima yinnu nin ning ba.
27 [So, instead of being afraid], what I say to you [secretly as people do] at night [MTY], tell [publicly as people do] during the daytime [MTY]. What I [say to you privately as people do when they] whisper to you [MTY], proclaim publicly [MTY, DOU].
Ilenge imon na Nbellin minu nanya nsirti, bellen ining nin wui, tutung ile imon na ilanza baat nin natuf mine, ghanan kitene kilari ibellin ku.
28 Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill your body [SYN] but are not able to destroy your soul. Instead, fear [God because] he is able to destroy both a [person’s] body and a [person’s] soul in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Na iwa lanza fiu nle na ama molu ka kidowe ba, ama na awasa amolo ulai ba. Na lanzan fiu nlenge na awasa amolo vat ka kidowe nin laiye nla saligan. (Geenna g1067)
29 [Think about the] sparrows. [They have so little value] that [you] can buy cares two of them for [only] one small coin [RHQ]. But when [any] sparrow falls to the ground [and dies] [LIT], [God], your [heavenly] Father, knows it, [because he cares about everything].
Na niwulun niba idin lesu ni nin nin nikurfu baat ba? Vat nin nani, karum wasa ka deu kutyin sa uyirun Cif mine ba.
30 [He cares about you, too]. He even knows how many hairs you have on your head!
Titi litife wang ayiru timashi nari.
31 [God] values you much more than he values sparrows [LIT]. So, do not be afraid [of people who threaten to kill you]
Na iwa lanza fiu ba, ikatin niwulung nane nin gongon.
32 If people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], I will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven [that they are my disciples].
Bara nani, vat nlenge na a yinna nin mi nanya nanit, Meng wang ma yinnu ninghe nbun Ncif ning, ulenge na adi kitene kani.
33 But if they are afraid to say in front of others that they are my [disciples], I will tell my Father, who is in heaven, [that] they are not [my disciples].”
Ame tutung ulenge na anari nbun nanit, meng wang mmanari ghe nbun Ncif ning, ulenge na adi kitene kani.
34 “Do not think that I came to earth to cause [people] to live together harmoniously. The result of my coming is that [some of those who follow me] [MTY] will be killed.
Yejen iwa kpilza nna dak nin lissosin limang nyie. Na nna dak nin lissosin limang ba, nna dak nin kusangaliari.
35 Because I came [to earth, people who do not believe in me] will oppose [those who do believe in me. For example], some sons will oppose their fathers, some daughters will oppose their mothers, and some daughters-in-law will oppose their mothers-in-law.
Bara nna dak nda dunjo unit nin cifme, a ushono nin name, a uwul nin nanlesme.
36 [This shows that sometimes] a person’s enemies will be members of his own household.
Anan nivira nin nit ba yitu anan nanya kilari me.
37 People who love their fathers or mothers more than [they love] me are not worthy to [have a relationship with me]. And people who love their sons or daughters more than [they love] me are not worthy [to belong to] me.
Ame ulenge na adi nin su cif sa uname nbun ning na abati unan dortu ninghe ba. Tututng ame ulenge na adi nin su nshonome sa usaunme nbun ninghe, na abatin unan dortu ning ba.
38 [People who are ready to execute a prisoner force him to] carry a cross [to the place where they will nail him to it] [MET]. Those who are not [willing to allow other people to hurt and disgrace them like that because of being my disciples] are not worthy to belong to me.
Ame ulenge na ayauna kucan kotinu me adofini ba, na abatin unan dortu ninghe ba.
39 People who [deny that they believe in me in order to escape being killed] will not live [with God eternally] [MET], but people who [confess that they believe in] me and, [as a result are] killed, will live [with God eternally] [MET].”
Ame ulenge na ase ulai me ba diru unin. Ame tutung na adira ulai me bara meng, ama se unin.
40 “[God considers that] everyone who welcomes you, welcomes me [SIM], and [he considers that] everyone who welcomes me welcomes [him], the one who sent me [SIM].
Ulenge na asere minu, asere mengku, ame tutung na aserai, asere ulenge na atoyi.
41 Those who welcome [someone because] [MTY] [they know] that person is a prophet they will receive the [same] reward that prophets [receive from God. Likewise], those who welcome a person [because] [MTY] [they know] that person is righteous will receive the reward righteous people [receive from God].
Ame ulenge na asere unan liru nin nu Kutelle ama seru ulada nna liru nin nu Kutelle. Tutung ame ulenge na asere unit ulau bara adi unit ulau, ama seru ulada nnit ulau.
42 [Note this: ] people [see that you are thirsty] [MTY] [and] give you a drink of cold water because they know that [MTY] you are one of my disciples. [God] will certainly reward people who do that. [They might consider that what they did] is insignificant, [but God will consider it very significant]” [LIT].
Vat nlenge na ana umong nanya nabebene alele, ka kop nmyen micancam asono, bara ame unan kadura Kutelleri, kidegen nbellin minu na ama diru ulada me ba.”
