Luke 12 (JNI) · Opened

1Inu daddakino cingilin, sa anu gbardang ya orno in nu pattla ace aweme, matunguno atize nan na ahana akatuma ka meme, wuzan seke ini imare ya Farisiya, ige be ine ini malim.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.

2Abanna me iremum izoni sa ada poko ini ba ire imum ikuri izo ni sa ada rusa ini ba.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3Barki anime ire imum izoni sa idi boki ani hungi ige be sa ine ini ige be sa ada kunna ini a masaa. Imum be sa ya wuza bikum anyimo ani kira adi wuzi tize ti timi vat ti hi hira.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.

4In boshi aroni am, kati ikunna biyyau ba ande sa wadi huu nipum, wazome in ire imum sa wadake wa wuzi ini.I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5Ceki in gbarka shi ahira de sa idi kunna biyyau bu me, kunnan biyyau bi de sa madake mahuu makuri mareki shi anyimo uraa. Ee in boshi kunnan biyyau bime.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!

6In gusa a siza ahana amu nyin muni cibi in ma nini mani mare ba? Vat anime, Asere mada parke me unu inde anyimo aweme ba.Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Aname ticce sa tira ani ce ni shi me marusa ugbardang utini, kati u kunna biyyau, shi itekin imum izenze unu gongo ahira ameme.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8In boshi, vat de sa madi buki imum be sa mabuka aje anabu, van unubu madi bezi me ahira Asere.I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9Abanna me vat de sa ma nyare me aje anabu, adi nyare me ahira Asere.But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10Vat de ma buka tize aje a vana Asere adi kpici madini me. Abanna me vat de sa macara bibe bilau ba Asere ada kpico me mame madini me 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.

11Inki wa ayen shi aje ana tize nyani aje anu atize tini kobbo, nyani aje ana nikara, kati i kunna in ni mum be sa idi buki ine ini icukuno kadura kashi me, nyani imum be sa idi buki.When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12Abanna me bibe birere bidi bezi imum be sa idi buki uginiya ugino me.For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Uye anyimo ani ori magun me unu bezizi buka uhenu tize ti hari imum be sa a cekin dura ni.Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14Yeso magun me, “Hu, aveni adaki uwum in cukuno una tize tini kobbo nyani in cukuno a tii ashime?”But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15Abini me, magun we “Hirani kati icukuno ana re ama roo, Abanna daki imum me im sa unu makem ini gbardang idi cukuno me ukanna uronta umeba.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.”

16Uganiya me uni Yeso mabuki we ure ugunkuno, māgu ugunkuno, māgu, “Uruu ure unu wa nya bissana birere kang.Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17Ma bassa imum iriba māgu, indi wuzi ane ni, barki inzom inahira sa indi in bissana ba re?So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18Madusa magu, in rusa imumbe sa indi wuu, indi pusi tikere tum in zui tire ti dadan-dang abine ani indi inki bisana bum nan vat tirononga tum.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.

19In gu ini vai im, ivai im, uzin ini imuni gbardang sa a inko barki hu, ayyene udi venke, urii, usi, uzi iruba irom.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!”’

20Abanna me, Asere magun me, unu udira unicce, anyimo aniye nige me anyara ivai iweme ahira aweme. Tironga sa wa oro wa barka nice niwemen, ya veni idi zi.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?’

21Ani mani desa ma oro nicce nime imum unee mazi, in mazo me in ni imum une ahira Asere.This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22Aleso magu ina kadura kameme, “Barki anime in gusa shi, kati i kunna zenze iruba ishime abanna me, imum besa idi re, nyani imum be sa idi soki apum ashime.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.

23Abanna me ivai iteki imare, nipum ni ti ronga.For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24Irani magoron sa mada wuza ti bira, wada orso bisana. Wada zome intigere nyani ti denge tu inzo imummu, abanna Asere ma nyinza imare. Shine iteki inyim unu ira!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!

25Aveni anyimo ashime madaki umāyi unice me madaki makinki nice ni me tiye?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26Inki daki ya rusa uwuza acee ashime imum be sa izi cingilin ba, nyanini ya wuna idi cari mu ruba mu shi me ahira ukasu utiro ronga?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27Irani iburi matiti ani jaa sa i uza azo agi i wuza katuma kaniba, i da rizizo me ba, in boshi, nyani Sulaimanu, anyimo ani nonzo mime me, daki ma soki tironga tige besa ta teki tiwume unu re 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.

28Inki Asere asoki makpe tironga tirere anime, kani me sati zi, nisizo akuri a wutini uraā, adi wu aneni madiri acce ma soki shi tironga, shi anu ukadura ka cin!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!

29Kati apum ashi me awu barki imum besa idi re, nyani imumbe sa idi sii, ane ani kati i in tari atipo.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30Abanna me vat anu nee wa nyara usasana uti mummu tigino, ane ani Aco ashi me marusa inyara tiroronga tigino me.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Abanna me, nyaran nikara nu meme, tiroronga tige idi kinki shi tini.But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32Kati i kunna iyyau ba, shi ana a cin-ci, ina aburu arom ani Aco ushi madi nya shi tigomo.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33Zizan imum be sa izini inya anu udira. Barkan ace-ce ashi mabadau magebe sa mada cornoba, inko ni imummu ishi me anyimo azezsere abba sa ida mara ba, ahira be sa akari wadaki wahaa ba. Ijiji idaki i cari ni 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.

34Barki ani me aba sa utamani uweme urani abine ani i ruba i weme irani.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35Kaskanin ujoko utironga tishi me, ihiri itonno, i cukuno upitila ushi iciki unu raa kodi uya uwui.Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36Ikuri icukuno kasi ande sa wazin ini nyariga ni una kura sa mazeze usuro akura ubuki, uganiya sa māze magbotiko udenge me a wa hiri debe-wa poki me ni.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 kem uni lem ni huma arere agino me, anige besa Aco uweme madi Ee ma kem we waciki wazin in ni nyarga nu ze umeme. Kadura kani in zinu buka ushi, ma hiri ma tonno mawu we wa cuku suno ma nya we imare in nice nu meme.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.

38Inka sa akura uweme ma aye in niye nyani ina te niye, ma ken we wa ciki unu be. Ume ana nilem ni huma arere agino.Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39Kini irusi agino me, da una akura maka rusi uganiya sa ukari ma Ee, mada ceki meakura a meme ukari maribe 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.

40Cukuno ni ini nyarga barki i tashi uganiya sa vana unu madi ze ba.You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41Bitrus magun me, “Ugomo-Asere haruwani uzi nu ubo uru tigege tize me, nyani vat uru ini?“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42Ugomo-Asere magu, “Uye una je mani unu inta utize, unu urusa abanga unu uge sa unakura umeme madi nyame arere a tari timeme, barki hiri we, manyawe imare iweme uganiya sa wuna?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?

43Unu kaba unu lem ni rere mani ure-re ugino, unuge sa unakura me madi kem unu wuza imumbe maguna ma wuzi.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44Kadura kani, mabuka shi inda nya me vat ana kadura ka Asere tari tumeme.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Abanna me, inki maguna anyimo iruba imeme, sa kura un da ma ze debe ba; monno ma tubi ucira are-re me, ahana wa ruma nan na eh aroni ani re-re, mari masi, i huu me,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.

46Una akura ure-re ugino madi ze uganiya sa ure-re ma inko iriba ba, abanna me uganiya sa ma tame ba, ma kuzi me magitu magitu, makuri patti me nande sa wazo me in biyyau ba Asere.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.

47Ure-re ugin marusa uzina una akura ameme, abanna me daki ina barka imum be sa una akura ame mema nyara ini ba. Masi u tira nan nu cobo gbardang.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48Abanna me, me sa marusa ba ma wuza imum be sa izi re ba, mada saa ti si sari gbardang ba, vat de be sa anya me imum gbardang, adi kuri anyere imum gbardang atari ti meme. Ane ani desa nyame imum gbardang i inpp uni rubu, adi nyari imum igardang ahira ameme.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.

49Ma aye barki in wu ura unee, manyara uda zina ma wa maki.I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50Abanna me, mi izi nu zoro uge sa inzin une uni adi zorom in uni, abanna me magam ini ada zina a wuzam.But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51Ibassa agi ma aye unee unu ronta? Ma guna a'a, abanna ma aye nu harzina.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52Ana me adi anu cibi anyimo akure a inde, wadi harzina, ana taru wadi wuzi ishine nan an ware, ware me wazin nishena nan ana wa taru.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53Vana nan kaco wadi wuzi ishine, nan na cee-ce, vana madi wuzi nan kaco, A ino madi wuzi ishina nan nu uca me, uca madi wuzi ishina nan ka ino, a ino uruma madi wuzi ishina nan nu ugiri me, ugiri me madi wuzi ishiine nan ka” Ino uruma me.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.”

54“Yeso mabuki ahira ani ori” inka ya ira azezsere abee ina dizii, a'ana me idi ki igu adi rubu ureh, ani mani idiki cukuno.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.

55Inki updebu wa huburko u hana ukudu, idiki igu ahira azi buu, ani mani idi ke cukuno.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56Ana muruba mu bit, ya rusa imum be sa inbo, adizii nan na zezsere, abanna me, daki ya rusa ubezi imum besa izinu harsa harsa 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?

57Nyanini ya karti urasa imum be sa idi benki shi?And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58Inki ihaza ani kobo nan nu uroni utize ti weme, nyara me ibarka una barki kati ma haa hu ahira unu baru utize kati ma wa anu mensi anu wa mekuwe wa haa hu udenge unu re-re, unu inta unu me mada be hu urusa ba.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.

59mabuka we uhira kasi u wa kana a birko uda kurzo we ikirfi unu gino me ba?I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
