Luke 11 (AQK) · Opened

1Arika anung ama Yesu adibi ben banung kama. Mi na ter, asi gin ming ku amun kop ma adi wu, “Atikop, wabi tsar kwara ben, mi Yohana na tsar amun kop ma.”One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

2Na diba, tasi mi gina ti ben, gina bidi, Ada nisi gbarshu, aba gir saˈ mi tsetser, etum mi kabi nyi.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Nik kwara kiri yami kwara wop yi aring, aring nga.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Wabi tsoˈ kwara zup mbombom mbor, mi kwara tsoˈ gura abami na tara kwara. Kɨr gir kwara ti dung nirem ba rem kwara ni kiyami kwara roku baˈ.And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Yesu na aya di amun kop ma, aba di gin ming min asi ni dzen, na koma nawu ne tsutsu buu tadi wu, dzen, wabi nik ngga kwar deng mi tar.Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6Ti dzen amung nung awa na ri tsin ta anyi ngga ya adzaˈa. Ba ngga sini kiri yami ngga ti nik wu baˈ.because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Dzena mi ama ata nyima ri ming tar, tadi, Kɨr kpur ngga baˈ. Ngga nika min kung anutsir. Ngga ne amun na mung, kwara ni ka jikur. Ba ngga ti gi gur ti nik wa kinung baˈ.And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Do not bother me. My door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.’

8Ngga ban gina, kota si bati gur ta nik wu kinung mi asi dzen ama baˈ, ti shisha yati te wu, ati ra saˈ ma, mi aba gur ta nik wu kiyami awop.I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of the man’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

9“Ti ngga ya ban gina, gina bi dibi ben bati nik gina. Gina bi dibi wop gina ti yik. Gina bi dibi ngwur ati bu gina.So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

10Awami ta rip, ati nik wu, awami ta wop ati yik, tasima awami ta ngwur ati bu wu.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11“Ada tama ming min, mi zuma ta ben wu ambe, ti ba nik wu yhwa?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Koba ben wu nkpangkuko ti aba nik wu irangOr if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Gina andishira ambombom, gina ne gi nik amumun amin shisha yi wyer, Tiba di Ada min ni shu ati nik Rim ma abami na ben wu sang yi?”So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

14Arik anung nga ma Yesu na dibi gir rim ndishir ne anfikatong ruma. Mi anerim mbombom na ru, asi nefikaton nga areng. Andishir abi si bama, siba ti shishi.One day Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,

15Asi anung ming man adi, “I, ni tsi Baˈalzabul etum anerim na gir anerim mbombom aruma.”but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Anung bana ti aba tsar Yesu, siba diwu aba kam mbir kami ti tsar, aba di tsi ma ya ri ne shu.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Nema Yesu na gi asusun aman, si adi ba, “Andishir abi etum kami ni ngar etum ma kati jur, kop kami ni ngar, kop pa kati sher var.Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and a house divided against a house will fall.

18Tasi mi Nirem ta tsik mgbu ni akpa ma, etum ma ka ti tir yi? Ngga ni ban ama, ti gina ni di, ni tsi yi Baˈalzabul ngga ni gir anerim ruma.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Tasi ni tsi Baˈalzabul ngga gir anerim ruma, ti, amun kop min pa, ni tsi yi nga gina gir anerima min ruma? Atu ayama bati te gina amoˈ.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Tasi Ngga ni tsi ya Arik ngga gir anerim ruma, etum ku Arik kani nyi gina.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21“Tasi mi ndishir ni tsi na kor agbandung ama, ta ber kop ma, kiki yi kop ma ati song keke.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Tasi nung ta nang wu ni gbegbereng ta tsik wu nang, nawa ta agbandung awami saˈ ayi ma nawu, ati vuu kiki yi kop pa agap.But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted, and then he divides up his plunder.

23“Awami basi ni ngga baˈ, asi dzen zor amung. Awami ba na rak ngga bing nga baˈ, awa ashera var.”He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24Rim mbombom, mi ti wong ru ni ndishir, na ya retan bubum kukur, na ya wop baku song shi. Mi yati wop araˈ kana, na ya di ituma, ngga ti kam koma kop kami ngga ni ru rima.When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’

25Mi yati kam angaˈ ti yik kopa na kun ka tsetser ta nam ka.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Nema ati koma ti gir anerim anung atangba, abami na nang wu bi nam zup mbombom, bati rir ta jisong ming ma. Tong tera, song ku ndishira ka ti chokra nang ku iti.Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first.”

27Mi Yesu asi ming ku reng, asi uwa nung ming andishira nidum, agi kor tadi, “Arik ba nik anu didik uwa awami na nyir wa, ti wani mang kye ma.”As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!”

28Yesu na tanyima tadi, “Ai, abami awo reng Arik, ta aya dzip ka asiba si abi anu didik.”But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Mi andishir ba dibi bing nidum nawu, asi Yesu adi, “Asi nkpang mbombom ka. Ba wop aba yik kinung, nema bati tsar ba kinung baˈ, se yi Yunusa.As the crowds were increasing, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.

30Mi Yunusa na si kinung ne andishir abi Nineba, sema ngga Zu ndishir ti si kinung ne andishir abi nkpang kama.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Arik ni ti amoˈ ayi tong ter, Etum amba ni shin ati gur ndo ne andishir abi nkpang kama, ta ti ba amoˈ ta rop ba. Ati nyi ari tong ter gong mmimi tiba wo apyeng ayi Suleimanu. To gin awami na nang Suleimanu awa ayang.The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.

32Andishir abi Nineba bati gur tir arik ne ti amoˈ ndo na andishira abi nkpang kama. Tiba ti ba amoˈ, tiba rop ba. Ti baba na san ta dung zup mbombom mi bana wo reng Yunusa. To, gin awami na nang Yunusa awa.The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.

33“Ba awami ati mmor kider ta sung nga arer, koba neya awok adem. O'o, se aba sa'a iba ku song ma, ti abi rir aba yik der ma.No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a basket. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

34Ayi ami yasi ki ter yi kpa mi. Tasi mi ayimi ta wyer, boboˈ kpa mi kati shuma ni der. Tasi mi ayimi na tara, se kpa mi kabi shuma ni buu.Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body is full of darkness.

35Nema, wabi to der yami si ni wa, yasi buu yi.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Tasi boboˈ kpa mi kati shuma ni der, ba baku ti buu tsap amin, kati der sher mi ki yi der ya der sher wa.”So if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, you will be radiant, as though a lamp were shining on you.”

37Mi Yesu na reng ater, asi awuni Farisi na ben wu ri kiri kop ma. Mi na yer, ako song bi ri kiri ma, ba na nar ayok baˈ mi nam mana.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Asi awuni Farisi ma, asi awa angar anu mi ayik Yesu adibi ri kiri ma, bana nar ayok baˈ mi nam mana.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Atikop na diwu, “Gina ani Farisi abama, gina nar gong agbugba, nema nne min ni shuma ni zup mbombom ni mwuer abum.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Gina arurur. Ba bana gi awami na nam gong abuma asi awa na nam ming nga sang yi?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Gina bi nik kiyami gina sima neya shisha, abami ba sang nga mana ya. Ti kiyami gina ti nar tibi si tsetser iti Arik.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42“Anya, gina andishir abi Farisi. Gina nik Arik gin ming ku wur ming avunvu ayi arampa ayi yii ning boboˈ. Nema gina ni ka' kam to bi nam zup didik ti tanyima ne Arik. Asi kiki yiyama gina bi nam bing ni yuyu ma.Woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former.

43“Anya, andishir abi Farisi. Gina ta nyima aba nik gina baku song didik kop ku bing Yahudawa, tiba ya tik gina yi shuyi idup.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Anya min. Gina si mi agun ayami ba yik ka ba', ayami andishir ba tsɨn ituma sang nga gi.”Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Asi gin ming ku abami tsar amoˈ Musa adi, “Nitsar, wati ban ama, ai, kwara ma, wani mmuan kwara mbor si.”One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Yesu na tanyima tadi, “Anya min abi tsar amoˈ Musa, gina ni rop andishir kiki yami ya ri, yami ya ro ba tsoˈ. To gin, ba gina ni nap vɨvɨnkoˈ min ti raˈ ba tsoˈ baˈ.”“Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “For you weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load.

47“Anya min, gina ni mme agun abi reng ne antinte Arik, abami anchichim amin bana mmi ba.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Nema gina ni ban ne tumin kiyami anchichim amin na nam. Bana mmi abi reng ne antinte Arik, gina ni ya mme agun na man.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Asima, Arik ming ankpyeng ma nadi, ‘Ngga ti tum ni, abi reng ne antinte Arik amung ne abi tum amun kop. Bati mmi anung aman, anung bati tung ba tsar.’Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and others they will persecute.’

50Tasi ma ati rip andishir abi nkpang kama, kwar ku agi abi reng ne antinte Arik abami na mmi ba, tsoˈ ri nkpang kami na nam gong mmimi,As a result, this generation will be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the foundation of the world,

51tsoˈ ri agi Habila ti koma agi awu Zakariya, awami na nwun wu atsutsu ba ku gbu nkawu nebi ba kusi tsetser ming kop Arik. Zup, ngga ban gina ati rip kwar agi ma, ne andishir abi nkpang kama.from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, all of it will be charged to this generation.

52“Anya min abi tsar amoˈ Musa, gina gir kibu tsir yi kop ku gi. Gina tu min ba gina ni rir baˈ, ba gina ni dung andishir abami na tayima aba rir baˈ.”Woe to you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”

53Mi Yesu na dung abuma, asi abi tsar amoˈ Musa ni andishir Farisi, siba mmo wu, siba dibi tuu wu susun ti aba reng atu yi kiki nidum.As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54Asi ba shuru ayi ti aba vung wu anereng ma mi ati ka ban.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
