1Odi a̠d̠a̠ma̠, A̠zizo̠s na̠ a̠siseiny odi esi, sa̠ obhel bho̠ i̠na na̠ a̠siseiny awe̠le̠ bho̠, sa̠ odi o̠ni̠ atu̠ghan d̠o̠yo̠ a̠fugh a̠nigha̠ i̠na ma̠a̠, “Wa̠nwuna̠, tu̠ghu̠me̠ni̠ i̠yar agu̠o̠ o̠sisieny a̠sisieny, ma̠ agu̠o̠ Azo̠n a̠tu̠ghu̠me̠ni̠ ma̠ ogbo atu̠ghan d̠o̠yo̠ bho̠.”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.”

2Sa̠ A̠zizo̠s awo̠ran awa ma̠a̠, “Igiel inyin na̠ osiseiny, ifughe ma̠a̠: “ ‘O̠we̠de̠, a̠d̠ien d̠oyom aro̠ ma̠ ola̠ e̠tu̠tu̠. Irileghom d̠oyom eru.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

5Sa̠ i̠na a̠fugh a̠nigha̠ a̠wa̠ ma̠a̠, “A̠nyen inyin ola̠ a̠nwuna̠ ma̠ a̠tologha̠n, sa̠ agi̠ d̠o̠yo̠ ma̠ egum a̠d̠io ka̠ a̠fugh a̠nigha̠ i̠na ma̠a̠, ‘O̠mo̠lo̠l, wo̠lo̠ni̠ane̠ ami̠ ma̠ i̠sar ikpokpogh abe̠re̠di̠.Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

9“Ebula̠ o̠ku̠a, ami̠ na̠ agba na̠ a̠nigha̠ inyin ma̠a̠: ipuru sa̠ ta̠ onigha̠ inyin, i̠bho̠ro̠ghane̠ sa̠ inyin ta̠ o̠bi̠gh, ikpukpu sa̠ ta̠ a̠guron.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.

10Ezin bho̠, o̠ni̠ ola̠ a̠puru ta̠ onigha̠; ola̠ abho̠ro̠ghan ta̠ abi̠gh; ola̠ a̠kpukpu ta̠ oguron onigha̠.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,

Onin agu̠o̠ bho̠, eghun ola̠ na̠ a̠wia̠n ozu ta̠ a̠mel.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.

18Ku̠gba ma̠ Eru bho̠ na̠ a̠wia̠n ozu d̠o̠yo̠, ka̠ irileghom d̠o̠yo̠ ta̠ a̠d̠ighi eka̠ amara?

After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

20Ya̠a̠, ku̠gba ma̠ ami̠ na̠ a̠bhin a̠limon ta̠ A̠zib̠a̠ na̠ a̠ze ma̠ a̠ruru bho̠, bha̠ iloghome ma̠ irileghom ta̠ A̠zib̠a̠ na̠ a̠ru ra̠ ate̠i̠ inyin.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21“Ku̠gba ma̠ omoma̠na̠n o̠ni̠ amar a̠kokod̠ia̠n o̠kpo̠ erorobhi d̠o̠yo̠, sa̠ a̠kponom otu d̠o̠yo̠; i̠di̠ar d̠o̠yo̠ ta̠ e̠ro̠ d̠a̠ ekima̠.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

23“O̠ni̠ ola̠ o̠ri̠la d̠o̠ na̠ ami̠ bha̠ na̠ a̠wia̠n ami̠; ya̠a̠, o̠ni̠ ola̠ od̠igh d̠o̠ na̠ ami̠ a̠kokod̠i bha̠ na̠ asasaragi̠.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’

25Igiel i̠na a̠misi sa̠ abi̠gh ma̠ otu bho̠ na̠ o̠mar ogber o̠b̠ab̠alame̠ni̠, oselegi ma̠ i̠di̠ar,On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

28Sa̠ i̠na awo̠ran ma̠a̠, “Itutumeni ta̠ e̠ro̠ enigha̠ kuma̠ ogbo ya̠ i̠nagha ma̠ o̠nu̠o̠kpe̠ ta̠ A̠zib̠a̠ sa̠ igir o̠ku̠a bho̠.”But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.
