Luke 12 (AMO) · Opened

1Nanya nkoni kube, na gbardang limui nanit wa zuro ligowe, gbardang ipalila ati mine, acizina ubellu nono katuwa mye, “Yinnon ubellen nyist na Farisiyawa, unere magunta.In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

2Bara na imomon duku ilenge na inyeshin, ile na iba punu ba, sa itursun ile na iba yinnu ba.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3Bara vat nile imon na ubelle nsirti, iba lanzu nanya nkanang, ile imon na ubelle nanya kutyi, iba beellu kitene kilari.What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.

4Meng bellin munu adondon nigh, yenje iwa lanz fiu nle na aba molu kidowo, nin nani na idumun nimomon ile na iwasa isu tutun ba.I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5Nba wunun munu atuff kitene nlenge na iba lanzu fiu mye, lanzan fiu nlenge na awa mdu adinin likara nworu atu kidowo nanya nlah. Nanere nbellin munu lanzan fiu mye.But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him!

6A na ninari nitaun asa ilewe ikubu iba ba? Vat nani na nkan duku asa ishawa mun ba, nyenjie Kutelle.Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Vat titi litife ina batiza tinin. Na uwa lanza fiiu ba. Udunin ndaraja ukatin ninari gbardang.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8Meng bellin munu, vat nle na ayinni nbun nanit, meng ba yinin ghe nbun nanan kadura Kutelle.I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9Bara ame ule na ata amusu nigh nbun nanit, meng bati amusu nigh nbun nanan kadura Kutelle.But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10Vat nlenge na abelle tigbulang niviran kitenen ngono Kutelle iba shawu, ame ulenge na asu tizogo nin nivira kitene Nruhu, na iba shawu mun ba.And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

11Kubi ko na idanin ghinu kiti wucu kidgen, anan tigo, nin na nan nakara, na iwa dama ba, kitene nile imon na iba bellu ubun munu, sa ile imon na iba bellu.When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12Bara uruhu ulau ba dursu munu, nanya nkoni kube ile imon na iba bellu.For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Umon nanya ligoze woroghe, “Unan yiru belle gwana nighe ti kosu ugadu.Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14Yesu woroghe, “Unit, ghari ntayi unan wucu kidge sa unan yisinu kiyitik mine?”But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15Ame woro nani, “Sun seng i kala ati mine kiti ngbardang nimon nacara mye ba.”And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

16Yesu belle nani tinan tigold, aworo, “Kunen nmong wa ni kumat kang,Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17a kpiliza liti mye aworo, 'Iyaghari nba su, na ndumun kiti kanga na nba ciu ileo nighe ku ba?'So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18Ame woro, 'Nene nbasu. Nba turzunu illai ile nkee ididia, nceu vat nile imon na ndumun.Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods.

19Nnin bellin kidowo nighe, “ kidowo, ning uceo illyou in nakus gbardang. Shinno, uso ulii, uso nin, lanzu nmang.”'Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’

20Kutelle worroghe, 'Fe unit ulalang nin kiyitik kane nba seru ulaife, ile imone na uceu iba lawu inghari?'But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’

21Nanere umon ba yitu, ulenge na a ceo imon, a na ayita nin nimon kiti Kutelle ba.”This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22Yesu woro non Katuwa mye, “Bara nani meng nbelling munu, yenje iwa dama nin nlai-sa imon nli, sa imon nshonu kidowo mine.Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

23Bara ulai katin imon nlii, kidowo tutun katin imon nshonu.For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24Yenjen agoron, na idin su tibli sa ugirbi ba. Na idinin kiti kaciso sa filai ba, Kutelle din nli ninghinu. Na anun katin anyine ba!Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!

25Nin ghari nanya minne nwasa akpina ngbardanag nayiri mye?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26Andi na iwasu isu ile imon icinghe ba, iyari inta idama nin kagisine?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27Yenjen amamu kusho inda na idin kunju. Na idin su katuwa sa fiyari. Nin nani meng nbelling munu ko Solomon nin ngongon mye wa shon imon nafo umong mine ba.Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

28Andi Kutelle din tizu ukpi kusho kuyok, uleng na idiku kitimone, udu nkui ina to nani nlah, iyaghari bati na aba su anunku kuyok ba, anan cing nyinnu sa uyenu!If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!

29Na iwa dama kitene nimonli sa ile imon na iba sonu, na iwa so nin damuwa ba.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30Bara vat nigbir inye din piziru, ile imone, ame Ucif mine yiru au idinin su nile imone.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Piziran kipin tigo mye, kagisin nimone iba kpin munu ku.But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32Na iwa lanza fiu, bara na idi kago kabene ba, bara ucif mine din lanzu nmang ani munu kipin tigowe.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33Lessen ile imon na idumun Inii anan diru, keen tikka to nati ba jarzu ba, ceon imus kitene kani kika ukiri duku, sa kiyoro ba.Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

34Kiti kanga na Imus fe duku, kinere kibinaife ba yitu ku.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35Tern alutuk ajangarang mine gangang, na tipilila mine yita nkasu,Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36soon nafo annit alenge na idin ncaa Nchikilari mine, ule na aba sa unuzu kitin buki nilugma, asa ada ariyo kibulun ima punghe mun dedei.Then you will be like servants waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.

37Kucin kone unan nmariari ale na Cikilare mine ba dase nani ncaa, kidegen nworo munu, aba bunku kulutuk ku kujangarang mye, ati nani iso, a ni nani imonli.Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them.

38Cikilari une nwandak nin lijii kiyitik, sa udu shantu kiti idi se nani idin ncaa, acin ane anan nmariari.Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39Udu Ubune yinno, asa Cikilari Kilare yiru kubi ko na akiri ba dak, na aba yinnu ipuru ghe kilari ba.But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.

40Soon nin yiru, na iyiru kubi ko na gono nnite ba dak ba.”You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41Bitrus woroghe “Cikilari, udin bellu to tinan tigoldo bara arika, sa anite vat?”“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42Cikilare woro, “Ghara unan nginu sa uyenu, ujinjin ule na Cikilare ba nighe acin mye, ani nani imonli kube dedei ya?And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time?

43Unan nmariari kucin kone, ule na Cikilare ba da seghe nsu nile imon na ataghe in suwe?Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44Kidegene nworo munu, aba nighe imon mye vat.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Kucin kone nwa woro kibnei, 'Cikilari ndandauna sa udak,' acizina ufo nacin mye nilime nan nishono, atunna ncii nin nso atah hem,But suppose that servant says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and he begins to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk.

46cikilari kucin kone ba dak liri lo na adin ncawe ba, sa kubi ko na ayiru ba, aba kezughe agir, a ceoghe kiti na na salin yinnu.The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

47Kucin kone nin tanni npilizu ncikilare, nin salin nke ncin nye sa asu nafo na Cikilare na bellin, iba foghe nin likuntung.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48Ame ule na ayiru ba, idinsu ile imon na ibatin ikpizighe, iba kutughe baat bara utanni mye, vat ile na inaghe gbadang, iba piziru gbardan kiti mye, ule na iyinna ninghe, iba tirinu gbardang kiti mye.But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.

49Nnna dak nda tii ulah inye, nda usu nigheri iwadi ita ula ku.I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50Meng dinin nshintinu ule na nba shintinu munu mun, ndi shotu iwadi imala!But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51Idin kpilizu nafo nna dak, nda ni munu nshau inye? Nani ba, nna dak nda wuso munuari.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52Nene nbellin munu nanya kilari awatua ba yitu ku, anit na tatt ba su ivira nin na nanit natat.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53Iba kosu kidowo, ucif nivira nin nsaune, usaune nivira nin ncif; unna nivira nin nshono, ushon nivira nin nnah; nan nles nivira nin nwul, uwul nivira nin nan nles.”They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

54Yesu wadi nbellu ligoze, tutun, “Asa iyene awut kusari kitene, asa woro, 'Na nin dandaunu,' ba uwauri ba juuy nanere udi.Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.

55Asa iyene ufunu nuzu kadas, asa iworo, 'Kiti ba yitu puu kang,' nanere ba yitu.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56Anun anan rusuzu natiminne, iyiru ubellu nimon inyi nin kitene, ani iyaghari nta na iyiru ubellu kube ko na tidi nanye ba?You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?

57Iyaghari ntah na idin wucu kidegen nati mine ba?And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58Asa uda nin nan nivira kitingo kubi na idi libau udowe keelin uliru baba iwa do idi teru munu kilari tigo.Make every effort to reconcile with your adversary while you are on your way to the magistrate. Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison.

59Meng bellin munu, na uba nuzu nacara mine ba, se una nari fikubu na udumun vat.”I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
