Luke 12 (AQK) · Opened

1Mi andishir nidum abi war agbugba na bing, ta kwang akpa man, asi Yesu reng ne amun koma. Ta diba, gina bi nam shesher ne antu awu ani Farisi, ni kamdir man.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.

2Ba kiyami na kung nga yami ba ati bur ra aruma baˈ, nebi ba kiyami ni sung rer yami ba bati gi yika baˈ.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3Tasi ma, kiyami gina ni ban na ni buu, ati woya arik nider. Kiyami gina ni ban na sung rer, kota si ming tar ta kung nunu tsira, ati ban anereng atuma ari akpukpap.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.

4Gina adzidzen amung, ngga ban gina kɨr ti gin shishi abami ati nwun kpa nema gong kami ta anwun wu ba kinung yami ba gi nam ituma.I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5Ngga ti ban gina awami ati ti shishi ma. Gina bi ti shishi Arik, gong kami na nwun, asi ne tsi yami aba tok wa agyoˈ ming uwur. Ngga ban gina Zup, gina bi ti shishi ma.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!

6Ba ti rep mun nunor tung kirbi waa baˈ? Tasi ma Arik ba na ngwur kowuni gin ashi baˈ.Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Kota si funfuk itumin naka ban na boboˈ. Kɨr ti gin shishi, ti gina wyer nang mun nunor shashan.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8Ngga ya ban gina, ti awami na ta ngga nyima iti andishir, Zu Ndishir ati tawu nyima iti abi tum Arik.I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9Ni awami na tun gi ngga iti andishir, ngga mung sima ti tun gi wu iti abi tum Arik.But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10Nebi awami ta reng atu yi mmuar Zu Ndishir, ati tso' aguru ma, nema awami ta reng atu yi kaˈ Rim yi Arik, ba bati tso' aguru ma baˈ.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.

11“Tasi mi na gir gina ta koma kop ku bing, ko iti abi rop, ko iti etum, kɨr gina bi di gina ta atumin shur ni tsi, ni kiyami gina ti ban,When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12ti Rim Arik yati tsar gina kiyami gina bi ban nkpang nga.”For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Asi nung ming andishir adi Yesu, “Nitsar, wabi tsing zu mbor aba nik ngga kiyami si mung ming ku kikiyami ada mbor na kuu ta dung nga.”Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14Yesu na tayim ma tadi, “Wa, nga na diwa bi sine ti amoˈ ko ngga bi sine gap gina kiki yami ada min na kuu ta dung gina?”But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15Asiwa di ba, “To gin! Kɨr gina bi di gina bing atu min kiki nidum, ti ba siya si vɨr baˈ.”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.”

16Asi awa nik ba ankpyeng anung tadi, Na ti ndishir nung nisi ne ki koˈ awami arum ama na nik npkyeng awowon.Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17Na vung shum susun ma, ta di, “Ba ngga sini abum ni shur npyeng yi arum amung boboˈ baˈ. Ngga ti nam are?”So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18Siwa di itu ma, ngga ni gi ki yi nam. Ngga ti jir agbu yama, ti mme anung ankpingkpyaˈ, ti shur boboˈ npyeng ya arum amung ni kiki mung ming nga.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.

19Ngga ti di susun mung, “Ngga sini kiki nidum yami ngga ti wore ashe ni nidum. Dung ngga song shi, ti dibi ri, ti dibi ya so, tiya wo re mmi.”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!”’

20Nema Arik nadi wu, wa rurur. Buu yiyama wati kuu. Tiba to asi nga wa ati ri kikiyami wani bing ne itumi ma.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?’

21Yesu na reng ater tadi, “Ti sima ne awami ati bing tuma kiki, tasi iti Arik basi ne ki koˈ baˈ.”This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22Asi Yesu adi amun kop ma, ta sima ngga ban gina, kɨr gina bi ti je atu yi vɨr min, ni ki yami gina ri, nibi tuntur yi sung kpa min.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.

23Ti vɨr ni nang ki yiri, kpa kani nang ntuntur.For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24Gina bi to rirideng. Baba tip koba di aba sher, ba baya sine atar ni nne ki yiri ko agbu, nema Arik anik ba ki ri. Wyer min ka nang nunor shashan.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!

25Nga wa ming min atu yi je, ati gi gyoˈ ndom ma nkpang gin vɨr ma?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26Tasi mi, gina ti nak ti gi nam kinung tsap mi yiyama baˈ, ti asi ani dung gina saˈ atumin je ni mbira?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27Gina bi to mi hure ya fur. Ba bana nam ndum, ba bana rok kinung baˈ, ba bana nam atu man tuntur baˈ, nema ngga ban gina koba si etum Suleimanu nkpyaˈ ni dong ma boboˈ bana nang gin ming man baˈ.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.

28Tasi mi Arik ati dong agiga ya ankwang ama, yami ya sima aring, ambwer tiba tok ka gyoˈ atsitser wur, tiba di gina? Gina abami zup min ni kornyin.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!

29Kɨr gina bi dibi shum atu yi kiyami gina ri, ni kiyami gina so, kɨr gina bi ti je.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30Tasi andishir abi gong mmimi abi sang nga gi Arik, ba dibi wop boboˈ kiki yiyama. Gina ba, Ada min na gi ki wop min.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Gina bi ne susun min song Arik, ati nik gina boboˈ kiki yayama.But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32Kɨr ti gin shishi, gina mun ngbar mung, ti Ada min anyer aba nik gina song Arik.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33Gina bi rep kiyami gina sima neya, ti gina bi nik abi sang nga ma neya. Gina ti nne atu min aporo ne ankor mi bati tser baˈ, yasi kikoˈ yami bati chokra ba shu, mi bani gip awami ati gipa, ni ba dan awami ati chok ara.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.

34Nema iba kami aporo mi asima, abuma susun mi ka sima.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35Mi gina song nwup, ti kider min bi dibi der.Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36Gina bi song mi agan abami ba nwup atikop man aba nga ari baku gang yi rop nga. Mi na nga ta kum tsir, asi ba abu wu.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.

37Anu adidik kana song gina agan abami atikop ata nga ati yik basi tsitsir. Zup, ngga ban gina, ngga ti tun antur ankpyaˈ amung ti nam ndum, tidi gina bi jisong ti ri ki ri, nema ati dzip itu ku koni nga tiba gir wu ki yiri ma.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.

38Kota nga ni atsutsu ibuu, kota si ne ambwerbwer, tiba yik ba ko song anwup, agan na asi abi anu didik.Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39Nema gina bi gi, basi mi atikop ati gi nkpang kami ni gip ati nyi, aba song tsitsir, bati dung wu aba rir ta chok kiki ara wu kop baˈ.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.

40Gina ma bi song tsitsir, ti Zu Ndishir ati nyi nkpang kami gina si auwa.You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41Asi Bitrus arip, “Atikop, wa ban asi kwara ankpyeng ayama, koya si ayi koni nga ni?”“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42Atikop na di, nga wa asi gan didik ni gi ankpyeng ayama, awami atikop ma ati ba dung wu basi ningur ni gir kop ma, ti aba ya nik mbir agan na ki yiri ananan nkpang?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?

43Anu didik ka tisi ni gan awami atikop ma ati nyi ta yik wu na nam ndum ma.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44Zup, ngga ban gina, ati dung wu aba to wu kiki ma boboˈ.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Nema in gan na tadi susun ma, atikop mung ta gong bi nyi, na awa ba vung tsik mbir agan na, anurum ne amba, ta rir ri ti so, ti aba akwa,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.

46atikop awu gan na ati nyi arika awami gan song auwa, nkpang kami ba bati gi baˈ. Atikop pa ati tsik ku tsik mbombom ta rop wu ming ku abi sang nga zup didik.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.

47Gan awami na gi kiyami atikoma nadi aba nam, nema bana namma baˈ, bana aya zip kiyami atikop ma na ban baˈ, ati tsik ku awowon.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48Awami bana gi kiyami atikop ma nadi aba nam baˈ, ta nam kiyami na mar aba tsik ku, ati tsik ku tsap. Ti awami na nik wu ki yi mwe, ati yik ki mwe ari nawu. Awami na ya nik wu ki yi mwe awowon, ati ya wop ki mwe ari nawu.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.

49“Ngga ni gir wur nyi tibi shur gong mmimi. Basi yik mung, basi naka moˈ ka.I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50Ngga sine baftisma yami ba ti ngga, ngga wa tir susun gbangbang har se bana ti ngga naya.But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51Gina ni tsoˈ ngga ni gir gina song kusi keke gong mmimi? O'o, ngga ban gina, asi dung akpa.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52Tsoˈ ri adza'a, kop gin andishir atung bati ngar kpaˈ waa, atar bati kaˈ awaa, awaa bati ya kaˈ atar.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53Ada ati ka zuma, zu ati ya kaˈ ada ma. Iya ati kaˈ vama, vama ati ya kaˈ iyama. Iyama ruma ati uwazuma, wazuma ati ya kaˈ yamma ruma.”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 na ya adi andishir, “In gina ti yik akpawur gur ri arikagur, gina di, ati ku awur ni shu, siwa aya ku.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.

55Nebi gina ti yik mgbungbu gur koˈ ri, na gina di ati wu abum, se aba ati.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56Abi kamdir. Gina ni ya gi kiyami tsin gong mmimi nebi gbarshu, nema gi tonter ku nkpang kama, ya nang gina.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?

57“Asi ani dung ba gina te tumin amoˈ adidik sang?And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58In nung ata gir wa ta koma ba ku ti amoˈ iti aningur, wabi nam andanda ti gina bi dus mi gina si tsir. Ta kaˈ, ta gir wa ta koma iti ni ti amoˈ. Ni ti amoˈ ati ya nap wa nik vin nirop. Vin nirop ati ya gyoˈ wa jaru.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.

59Ngga ban wa, bawa ru abuma baˈ se wani wang boboˈ ankor yami na rop wama.”I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
