Luke 6 (EKA) · Opened

1Efung Esabat abehng eji Jisos jo jen go emahng ji bo bahme nkohl, owo abatꞌtoono ebe kehm jo laade nkohl, fere monngo amohk tv go arahn, jo li.One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.

2Owo egom Farisi jindiki kehm bahbe bo re, “Jen ji wahnge ń kpꞌlimi ejum ji ntahm enyahre sahde re, nne kꞌjo lim efung Esabat?”But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

3Jisos kehm faange re, “Ń ka tiki lung bade ana Devid limi no ngare nyi njal yam-e no, a ane ebea?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Á yele ekpꞌkpa Esowo, song rod abred nya bo limi bum go esamahr Esowo li, fere tob ka ane ebe ba jolo a ne, bo li, nya ki fuumu re nne awohng awohng li, sehngem abalimajom ba ba jo li.”He entered the house of God, took the consecrated bread and gave it to his companions, and ate what is lawful only for the priests to eat.”

5Owo Jisos kehm kpe tong bo re, “Mmon no nne tob li nfono Esabat.”Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

6Efung Esabat bi Jisos kpe je go etahk ero song tib, nne awohng jolo o, no eboblum ebe lohngo no.On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

7Atꞌtibi ba atahm, a Bab Farisi, bo jo baab-e, joare á bahke limi nne awohng awohng, á nob efung Esabat.Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

8Jisos kꞌkahn ntir atahng ebo, owo á kehm tongo nne no ebo ebe lohngo no re, “Ba, wo ba yiimi ana!” Nne noo kehm mehle yiimi, jen song yiimi ona.But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.

9Owo Jisos kehm tongo bo re, “N kp-n bahbe re, Anv, ntahm enyahre bungu re wahr jo lim jen efung Esabat, wahr jo kak na nne ebo, afi wahr jo rannge na? Wahr jo tahre elkpin nne, afi wahr jo rannge elkpin nne?”Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”

10Eji á ma seenge bo, song jahm, owo á kehm tongo nne noo re, “Tanne ebo eba!” Á kehm limi ano. Ebo ebe kehm feere jol ana behko jang jang.And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.

11Atahng kehm rake bo tete, bo kehm kehme eltoobo bo bo, ji bo bahke limi Jisos.But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

12Ngare nyio Jisos kehm tahme go ewong re á song kak ero. Owo á kange no, jo kak ero ka Esowo.In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.

13Eji efungfu ma se, á kehm lungu abatꞌtoono ebe tv elne, kehm jake ewubu ane abal, ba á jo lung bo re abatiingetib.When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:

14A wo li ewubu ane abal ba á yehke no. Saimon ji Jisos ka-e mbing nyehko re Pita, a Andru mmonannyehn Pita, go Jems, Jon, Filip, Batolomi,Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

15Matiu, Tomos, Jems ji mmon a Alfeus, a Saimon ji jo seb re ejahbe eje lohng go elwo ni aneb Rom,Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;

16go Judas ji mmon a Jems, a Judas Iskariot ji gungu Jisos.Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17Eji Jisos jo badde a bo go ewong, á kehm ba yiimi edi ji li bale bale, a ellong abatꞌtoono ebe gbalee, a ellong ane tvv, ba lohngo go Judea kpee, fere lohng go Jeusalem, a ba lohng go nkpe agburu aya, ejang bi Taya, a Saidon. Bo ba re bo ba wuk-e, fere nob ayam ebo.Then Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples was there, along with a great number of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon.

18Ane ba asabsab atohko jo gbiingi bo, bo nobo ane kpee.They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.

19Ellong ane bao kpee jo sebe re, bo koor-e, tibre nsahm jo lohng-e lohng. Á fere lim bo, bo nob ane kpee.The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.

20Owo Jisos kehm tabe esamahr ebe seenge abatꞌtoono ebe, kehm bungu re, “Elfuulu li ka wahn akpak, tibre etul bi Esowo bꞌbahne bi.Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

21“Elfuulu li ka wahn ji njal kp-n yame anv, tibre ḿ bahke wohngo.” “Elfuulu li ka wahn ji kpꞌlingi anv, tibre ḿ bahke wolo asol.Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

22“Elfuulu li ka wahn, ane lꞌko-n ekv tib go esi ji Mmon no nne, fere yab a nahne, jo su-n, fere jo bung re, wahn abi ane ba.Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.

23“Jo belen eyebatahng, nsol ana nyio lꞌlim, wahn fere jo siiki. Tibre egburu eltuuru enahne nia, nong-n go ejahbetul Esowo. Tibre nsol nyꞌnehm ona nyi babnde ebo jo lim abanyehnamahr Esowo.Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For their fathers treated the prophets in the same way.

24“Eyuu a nahne, wahn afang ane, tibre wahn ebbel ejum ekakeltim ejahne.But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.

25“Eyuu a nahne, wahn ji kpꞌwohngo anv, tibre ḿ bahke jene njal njal. “Eyuu a nahne, wahn ji kpꞌwolo anv, tibre ḿ bahke jehke ndon ndon, fere jo ling.Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

26“Eyuu a nahne, ane kpee lꞌjo tehk-n. Tibre ano wo babnde ebo tob jo tehk akimfahnge abanyehnamahr.”Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.

27“N kp-n tongo wahn ji kpꞌwuungu atung re, Anebekv ebahne jo kor-n. Jo limen nnoobo ka ane ba kpo ko-n ekv.But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28Jo biren nnoobo tv ane ba kpo su-n. Jo kaken ero ka ane ba kpo lim-n ebi.bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

29Nne no lꞌrum-a elkpal, tob sennge ejang behko ka-e fvfo, á kpe-a rum. Nne no lꞌtaare nsubu enya, á lꞌkpe ba ewobo eja taare, tob yake ka-e.If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well.

30Jo ka nne awohng awohng ejum, no bahb-a no. Nne no lꞌtaare ejum eja, k-e tong re á feere a ji.”Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.

31“Ejum ajehng ajehng ji ń kpꞌsebe re ane jo lim ka-n, wahn fvfo, tob jo limen ano ka bo.Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32Ane ba ń kpo kor bo, bo lꞌjo kor-n, eltuuru ani Esowo bahk-n tuuru? Tibre ane ba, aneb abiafem kpo kor bo, bo ba fvfo kpo tob kor aneb abiafem.If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

33Ń lꞌjo lim nnoobo ka ane ba kpo lim nnoobo ka-n, eltuuru ani ḿ bahke bele? Tibre aneb abiafem kpo tob lim ano.If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.

34Ń lꞌjo bong ane akpohko, ba ń tiri re bo bahke tob bong-n, eltuuru ani ḿ bahke bele? Tibre aneb abiafem kpo bong aneb abiafem, eji bo lꞌtob lim jang jang ka bo.”And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.

35“Nong, anebekv ebahne jo kor-n, wahn jo lim nnoobo. Jo bongen ane akpohko, wahn kꞌjo kunu ekpu re bo feere a nya ka-n. Ń lꞌlim ano, eltuuru enahne bahke gbale. Owo ḿ bahke kehm jolo abon ba Esowo bi gbale sehng. Tibre Esowo kpo lim nnoobo ka ane ba kil jo kak saam, fere tob lim nnoobo ka abi ane.But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

36“Nong, ane jo fil-n ndon, ana Nso ejahne, ane kpo fil-e ndon.”Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

37“Kana jo lam ane bako, Esowo wahn nehm tob lam. Kana jo tong ane re, bobli ebi, Esowo wahn nehm tob tong re, wahn ebli ebi. Jo tahmen ka ane, Esowo bahke tob tahm ka-n.Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

38Jo kaan, Esowo bahk-n tob ka. Á bahke gare go ebam ji nno a nno, gbehke, fere so, kak, rur wꞌwohng, fere yaange kak egahne abam. Ana ń gare no ka, ano wo fvfo Esowo bahke tob gare ka-n.”Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

39Jisos kehm tob tub bo elgan re, “Anv, nwakamahr a nne bahke ma tib nwakamahr nyehko mbanga? Bo ane abal abal nehm song gbo yel go elbinga?Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?

40“Nne no kpꞌkpili kpehme gbal sehnge ntꞌtibi ewe. Nne awohng awohng no lꞌkpili mal, á bahke jolo ana ntꞌtibi ewe.A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

41“Jen ji wahnge a kpꞌseenge mmolsahk no wob mmonanne go elmahr, a kil eltiri bada nkporti nyi wob go ega elmahr?Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

42A bahke limi renan, kehm tongo mmonanne, re, ‘Nong, me n yehk-a mmolsahk no wob-a go elmahr,’ eji wofono antahng kil nyehne nkporti nyi wob-a go elmahr? Wobnob tane! Tohko gbo mbang yehke nkporti nyi wob go ega elmahr, eji a lꞌmal nyehn, yehke mmolsahk no wob mmonanne go elmahr.How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

43“Tibre eti ji nno ajehng ajehng limm, ji kpo kab asabsab akab. Jol fvfo, esabsab eti ajehng ajehng limm, ji kpo kab anoobo akab.No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

44Tibre eti ajehng ajehng, bo kpo liing-e go ege akab. Nnene limm, no kpo bong akab efig go asokonso, fere bong akab avain go egab.For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.

45“Nsol afang nyi wob nnooba nne go ege eltim, nyi nyi á kpo yehke, lohng a nyi. Abꞌbi nsol nya wob ebi nne go ege eltim, nya nya á kpo yehke, lohng a nya. Tibre ji ma rur nne go eltim, ji ji kpo lohng-e go nnyo.The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

46“Jen ji wahnge ń kpo lung-m re, ‘Ntul, Ntul!’ Ń kil jo lim nsol nyi n kpo tong-n re wahn lim?Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but do not do what I say?

47“Nne awohng awohng no lꞌba go egame, ba wuk alum enyame, fere jo lim, m bahk-n tibi elkohn nne no á li no.I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:

48Á li ana nne no si etahk. Á kpa rꞌrahbe tete rehng go ekpartal, kehm bumu nnahb ekahme enye o. Eji nnyel yele no, alahb jo gbul etahk jio, tikem ma gbehke egbehkegbehke, tibre nnahb ekahme nyio kuumu go ekpartal.He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

49“Nne no lꞌwuk alum enyame, fere ten go ellimi, á li ana nne no si na si etahk eje kunu go ndi, kꞌbum nnahb ekahme. Eji alahb jo gbul etahk jio, kehm soro gbo kpee rꞌrere rꞌrere.”But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”
