Mattiyu 10
1 Sai ya kira almajiransa goma sha biyu wurinsa ya kuma ba su iko su fitar aljanu, su kuma warkar da kowace irin cuta da rashin lafiya.
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.
2 Ga sunayen manzannin nan goma sha biyu, da fari, Siman (wanda ake kira Bitrus) da ɗan’uwansa Andarawus; Yaƙub ɗan Zebedi da ɗan’uwansa Yohanna;
[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;
3 Filibus da Bartolomeyu; Toma da Mattiyu mai karɓar haraji; Yaƙub ɗan Alfayus da Taddayus;
Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; me, Matthew, the tax collector; James, the [son] of Alpheus; Thaddeus;
4 Siman Zilot da kuma Yahuda Iskariyot wanda ya bashe Yesu.
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.
5 Waɗannan sha biyun ne Yesu ya aika da umarni cewa, “Kada ku je cikin Al’ummai, ko kuwa ku shiga wani garin Samariyawa.
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].
6 A maimakon haka ku je wajen ɓatattun tumakin Isra’ila.
Instead, go to the people of Israel [SYN] who have [gone away from God like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET].
7 Sa’ad da kuke tafiya, ku yi wa’azi, kuna cewa, ‘Mulkin sama ya kusato.’
When you go [to them], proclaim to them that God [EUP/MTY] will soon begin to rule over people.
8 Ku warkar da marasa lafiya, ku tā da matattu, ku tsabtacce kutare, ku kuma fitar da aljanu. A kyauta kuka samu, ku kuma bayar a kyauta.
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].
9 “Kada ku riƙe wata zinariya ko azurfa ko jan ƙarfe a aljihunanku,
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].
10 kada ku ɗauki jaka don tafiya, ko ƙarin riga, ko takalma ko sanda; domin ma’aikaci ya cancanci hakkinsa.
11 Kowane gari ko ƙauyen da kuka shiga, ku nemi mai mutunci a wurin, ku kuma zauna a gidansa har sai kun tashi.
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].
12 Da shigarku gidan, ku yi gaisuwa.
13 In gidan na kirki ne, bari salamarku ta zauna a kansa; in kuwa ba mai kirki ba, salamarku ta komo muku.
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].
14 Duk wanda ya ƙi marabtarku ko ya ƙi sauraron kalmominku, sai ku karkaɗe ƙurar ƙafafunku sa’ad da kuka fita gidan ko garin.
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].
15 Gaskiya nake gaya muku, za a fi jin tausayin Sodom da Gomorra a ranar shari’a fiye da wannan gari.
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.”
16 “Ina aikan ku kamar tumaki a cikin kyarketai. Saboda haka ku zama masu wayo kamar macizai, kuma marasa ɓarna kamar kurciyoyi.
“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].
17 Ku yi hankali da mutane; za su miƙa ku ga majalisa su kuma yi muku bulala a majami’unsu.
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.
18 Saboda ni, za a ja ku zuwa gaban gwamnoni da gaban sarakuna domin ku ba da shaida a gabansu, da kuma ga Al’ummai.
[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].
19 Amma sa’ad da suka kama ku, kada ku damu game da abin da za ku faɗa ko kuwa yadda za ku faɗe shi. A lokacin za a ba ku abin da za ku faɗa,
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.
20 gama ba ku ba ne kuke magana, amma Ruhun Ubanku ne yake magana ta wurinku.
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].
21 “Ɗan’uwa zai ci amanar ɗan’uwansa, a kuma kashe shi, Uba ma zai yi haka da ɗansa;’ya’ya za su tayar wa iyayensu, su kuma sa a kashe su.
[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.
22 Dukan mutane za su ƙi ku saboda ni, amma wanda ya jure har ƙarshe zai sami ceto.
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.
23 Sa’ad da aka tsananta muku a wannan wuri, ku gudu zuwa wancan. Gaskiya nake gaya muku, kafin ku gama zazzaga dukan biranen Isra’ila, Ɗan Mutum zai zo.
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].
24 “Ɗalibi ba ya fin malaminsa, haka ma, bawa ba ya fin maigidansa.
A disciple should not [expect to be] greater than his teacher, and servants [are not] superior to their master.
25 Ya isa wa ɗalibi yă zama kamar malaminsa, haka ma bawa kamar maigidansa. In har an kira wanda yake kan gida Be’elzebub, me za su ce game da mutanen gidansa?
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]!”
26 “Saboda haka kada ku ji tsoronsu. Ba abin da yake a rufe da ba za a tone ba, ko kuwa a ɓoye da ba za a bayyana ba.
“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].
27 Abin da na faɗa muku a asirce, ku faɗe shi a sarari; abin da aka faɗa muku a kunne, ku yi shelarsa daga kan rufin ɗaki.
[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].
28 Kada ku ji tsoron masu kashe jiki amma ba sa iya kashe rai. A maimakon haka, ku ji tsoron Wannan wanda yake da iko yă hallaka rai duk da jiki a jahannama ta wuta. (Geenna g1067)
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)
29 Ba akan sayar da kanari biyu kobo ɗaya ba? Duk da haka ba ɗayansu da zai fāɗi ƙasa ba da yardar Ubanku.
[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].
30 Kai, ko gashin kanku ma duk an ƙidaya su.
[He cares about you, too]. He even knows how many hairs you have on your head!
31 Saboda haka kada ku ji tsoro; kun fi kanari masu yawa, daraja nesa.
[God] values you much more than he values sparrows [LIT]. So, do not be afraid [of people who threaten to kill you]
32 “Duk wanda ya bayyana yarda a gare ni a gaban mutane, ni ma zan bayyana yarda a gare shi a gaban Ubana da yake cikin sama.
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].
33 Amma duk wanda ya yi mūsun sani na a gaban mutane, ni ma zan yi mūsun saninsa a gaban Ubana da yake cikin sama.
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].”
34 “Kada fa ku ɗauka na zo ne don in kawo salama a duniya. A’a, ban zo don in kawo salama ba, sai dai takobi.
“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.
35 Gama na zo ne in sa, “‘gāba tsakanin mutum da mahaifinsa,’ya da mahaifiyarta, matar ɗa da surukarta,
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.
36 abokan gāban mutum, za su zama mutanen gidansa ne.’
[This shows that sometimes] a person’s enemies will be members of his own household.
37 “Duk wanda ya fi ƙaunar mahaifinsa ko mahaifiyarsa fiye da ni, bai dace yă zama nawa ba; duk kuwa wanda yake ƙaunar ɗansa ko diyarsa fiye da ni, bai dace yă zama nawa ba;
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.
38 duk wanda kuma bai ɗauki gicciyensa ya bi ni ba, bai dace yă zama nawa ba.
[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.
39 Duk mai son adana ransa zai rasa shi, duk wanda kuwa ya rasa ransa saboda ni zai same shi.
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].”
40 “Wanda ya karɓe ku, ya karɓe ni ne, wanda kuma ya karɓe ni, ya karɓi wanda ya aiko ni ne.
“[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].
41 Duk wanda ya karɓi annabi don shi annabi ne, zai sami ladar annabi, duk kuwa wanda ya karɓi mutum mai adalci don shi mai adalci ne, zai sami ladar mai adalci.
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].
42 In kuma wani ya ba wa ɗaya daga cikin ƙananan nan ko da kwaf ruwan sanyi ne kan shi almajirina ne, gaskiya nake gaya muku, ba shakka ba zai rasa ladarsa ba.”
[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].
