Matthew 10 (EKA)

1Jisos kehm lungu abatꞌtoono ebe, ewubu ane abal tv elne, kehm kake bo nsahm re bo kam ane abi atohko yehke, fere lim ane, bo nob elkohn eyam abehng abehng.And calling His twelve disciples to Him, Jesus gave them authority over unclean spirits, so that they could drive them out and heal every disease and sickness.

2Abing abatiingetib ewubu ane abal nya a. Ngbokambang, Saimon ji bo jo lung-e re Pita, go Andru mmonannyehn, go Jems ji mmon a Sibidi, a Jon ji mmonannyehn Jems,These are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;

3go Filip, Batolomi, Tomos, go Matiu nkokatak, Jems ji mmon Alfeus, a Lebeus ji bo jo lung-e re Tadeus,Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

4a Saimon ji jo seb re ejahbe eje lohng go elwo ni aneb Rom, go Judas Iskariot ji gungu Jisos.Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.

5Re Jisos kehm tumu ewubu ane abal bao, á tubu bo elle re, “Kana je ajahbe nya ane ba ki li Jus, a ajahbe Samaria.These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go onto the road of the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.

6Songen goji ejoro bi Israel bi ma tan.Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.

7Song bungen alum Esowo re, ‘Etul bi Esowo ebkabbe.’As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’

8Limen aneb ayam, bo nob, wahn lim aneb abili, bo nob, fere nyahme akvne go elkv, fere kam ane abi atohko yehke. “Ana n ka-n mbol mbol, tob kaan go mbol mbol.Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

9Kana fili agul, a asilva, jol kana kak apene go egahne abam fili.Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts.

10Kana fili abam efilibo, fere fili mbomo ebal ebal, a akpaketa, a nti efilibo. Tibre nlimeltum fꞌfuumu re á bel nsol alehke.Take no bag for the road, or second tunic, or sandals, or staff; for the worker is worthy of his provisions.

11“Ejahbe ajehng ajehng ji ń lꞌsong rehng, afi jolo egburu ejahbe, afi jolo mmojahbe no nse, seben nne no bahke kahne re, eltum enahne ni nno ni. Kangen a ne o tete wahn tahm ejahbe jio.Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy there and stay at his house until you move on.

12Ń lꞌyange go etahk nne, kaken bo nnyo.As you enter the home, greet its occupants.

13Ane bao lꞌvvr-n, nong, elkoono ni ń kpi no jol a bo. Bo tohko fere vvr-n, elkoono ni ń kpi no bahke feere, ba tob-n.If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it, but if it is not, let your peace return to you.

14Nne awohng awohng no tohk-n vvrv, kꞌwuungu atung go egahne alum, afi fere jolo ejahbe, tahmen edi jio, wahn kum ebtohko go egahne akpade.And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.

15Etingitingi, n kp-n tongo re, Go efung elam, elam ji ejahbe jio bahke bibi sehnge ji Sodom, a Gomorra.Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

16“Anv, n kp-n tumu ana ejoro tv go ellong abi enyam. Jo bangen ana enyo, wahn fere jol ana mbehl nyi kil jo lim ebi ejum ajehng ajehng.Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

17Jo gberen! Tibre ane bahk-n jo kak go esub, fere jo dv-n go bo a ntahk ero.But beware of men, for they will hand you over to their councils and flog you in their synagogues.

18“Bo bahke jo ko-n, song yiimi go esamahr atubesi, a atul tib go egame esi. Nsol nyia nyi bahk-n jo lim, eji ń lꞌjo yiim-m ntianse go bo esamahr, a esamahr ane bako ba ki nyi Esowo.On My account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.

19Bo lꞌkak-n go esub, kana jo tiiri bada nsol nyi ḿ bahke bungu, jol ana ḿ bahke bꞌbung. Tibre ngare nyio bo bahk-n kake alum nya ḿ bahke bungu.But when they hand you over, do not worry about how to respond or what to say. In that hour you will be given what to say.

20Tibre alum nya ḿ bahke bungu, nyanyahne sang, bahke lohngo goji Etohko ji Nso ejahne ji kpꞌbungu go egahne atahng.For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

21“Abonanyehn nne bahke jo yake abonanyehn ka re bo wul. Babnde nne bahke tob jo yake abon ebo ka re bo wul. Abon bahke jo kpiidi kuumu babnde, jo jabbe bo ka, bo wul.Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.

22Nne awohng awohng bahke jo ko-n ekv tib go egama mbing. Nne no lꞌkpuumu tete rehng go esꞌkohro, ye wo bahke bele eltahre.You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

23“Bo lꞌnohk-n go ejahbe jehko, been, song ejahbe jehko. Tibre etingitingi, n kp-n tongo re, Ń nehm ma tiki lim eltum go ajahbe Israel kpee mal, tete Mmon no nne feere ba.When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. Truly I tell you, you will not reach all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

24“Nne no kpꞌkpili kpehme gbal sehnge ntꞌtibi ewe. Nlokeltum kpehme gbal sehnge nde.A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

25Nobo re nne no kpꞌkpili tob taame go eyebatahng jol ana ntꞌtibi ewe. Nobo re nlokeltum taame, jol ana nde. Nfontahk, bo lꞌlung-e re ntul a nnehm, bahke limi renan, bo kꞌtob lung ane ebe ano?It is enough for a disciple to be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!

26“Kana jo fahl ane! Ejum ajehng ajehng limm, ji bo bulu no, ji Esowo lꞌkꞌlennge. Ejum ajehng ajehng limm, ji bo behre no, ji ane lꞌkꞌkahn.So do not be afraid of them. For there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

27Ejum ji n kp-n tongo a mbehr mbehr, ḿ bahke bungu gbul gbul gbuul. Ji m bungu go awꞌwa tong-n, ḿ bahke bungu go elkab ane.What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.

28“Kana jo fahl ane ba kpo wul ngubjing, ba lꞌkꞌma wul etohko. Fahlen ye jio ji bahke ma rannge etohko, a ngubjing go ellulagun.Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

29Nne li ma gunu nruk ebal go are, ka mpene. Abehng abehng limm, bi bahke gboko go ndi, sehngem re no, Nso ejahne taame na.Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.

30Wahn, alv enyahne kpee nya li go egahne asi, bobfange.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31Kana kpe fahl! Wahn ba ga lub sehnge nruk gbalee.So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

32“Fvfo, nne awohng awohng no lꞌyiimi ntianse ka-m go esamahr ane, ye wo fvfo, m bahke tob yiimi ntianse ka-e go esamahr bi Nsoo no li go ejahbetul.Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven.

33Nne awohng awohng no lꞌten-m go esamahr ane, ye wo fvfo, m bahk-e tob ten go esamahr bi Nsoo no li go ejahbetul.But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.

34“Kana tir re, n ko elkoono ba a ni go njini nyia. M baam re me n ko elkoono ba a ni, m ba re me n ko ekahngkahng ba a bi.Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

35M ba re ‘mmon fere kpiidi kuumu nde, mmon no nkal kpiidi kuumu nnyehn, nkal a nne kpiidi kuumu nnyehn nlum.For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

36Nne, ane ebe ba bahke fere jol anebekv ebe.’A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

37Nne no nde, afi jolo nnyehn, bo lꞌkor-e sehnge me, á fuumem a name. Nne no abon ebe lꞌkor-e sehnge me, á fuumem a name.Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;

38Nne awohng awohng no tohko rod ekros eje, tahm toon-m, á fuumem a name.and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.

39Nne no lꞌgare re á tahre elkpin ene, á bahke tane na elkpin ene. Nne no lꞌtane elkpin ene tib go egame esi, á bahke tahre na elkpin ene.Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

40“Nne no lꞌvvr-n, á vvrv me. Nne no lꞌvvr-m, á tob vvrv nne no tum-m no.He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me.

41Nne no lꞌvvrv nnyehnamahr, tib eji á kahne re nnyehnamahr Esowo wo, á bahke bele eltuuru ana ni nnyehnamahr kpo bel. Nne no lꞌvvrv etingitingi nne tib á li go etingitingi, á bahke bele eltuuru ana ni etingitingi nne kpo bel.Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.

42Nne awohng awohng no lꞌka nne awohng go ellong abonse baa abon alahb re á wo, tib eji á kpꞌkahne re, ntꞌtoono ewame wo, á bahke bele eltuuru go etingitingi.”And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.”
