Matthew 10 (WJA)

1Yesu yi̱we̱ kwati̱mba ya kwap su̱r ro̱p pwe̱yau̱ piinou, a nyi̱i̱ pma di̱mbi̱re̱ ba yiki wuturindi pero ba mi̱ra kana ko̱no̱ du buwai.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.

2Ti̱naa dinendi nu̱wa tu̱mandi̱ wa Yesu wa bu kwap su̱r ro̱p wu gawu̱ri̱yo̱ wii Simon, (wu nu̱wa yi̱ri̱ ki̱n Bitrus) yi̱ ci̱ya yo̱ Andarawus, Yakubu bo̱l Sabadi yi̱ ci̱ya yo̱ Yohanna,These are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;

3Pilibus yi̱ Bartalamawus yi̱ Toma yi̱ Matayo wu yi̱ri̱ janggal, yi̱ Yakubu bo̱l Alpayo, yi̱ Tadawus,Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

4yi̱ Simon wu yi̱ bwiu di̱ngi̱n si̱ma ya yi̱ Yahuda Iskariyoti wu cuu Yesu.Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.

5Nu̱wa bu kwap su̱r ro̱p bu Yesu tu̱ma bwii a nyi̱i̱ pma di̱kace̱ne̱ ki̱n, <<Bu ambi̱r ya bo̱nggo̱ nu̱wa bu yaa yo̱o̱gi̱ nu̱wa bu Yudaya wa, yi̱ go̱ro̱ndi̱ nu̱wa bu Samariya wa.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.

6Bu ambi̱ra bo̱nggo̱ nu̱wa bu Israila wa bu li̱yanga ci̱ka puuri su yaa taage̱.Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.

7Ambi̱ra bu wasi̱ ci̱ye̱i̱ mi̱n, <Lau̱ ku diyou ni̱nga ne̱m!>As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’

8Bu mi̱ra bu yaa cingcing wa, bu wumongo bu bwaanga wa, bu mi̱ra babutanga, pero bu yikongo wuturindi. Nu̱wa nyi̱i̱mbi̱ra nyo bu nyi̱i̱ya nyo.Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

9Bu de̱ri̱ ya sinariya yi̱ asurpa, yi̱ kana ke̱ne̱ a swari̱ mbi̱re̱,Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts.

10bu de̱ri̱ ya swari̱ so̱ngmai̱ kana landari̱ ro̱p yi̱ paari̱, yi̱ jwalu di̱ngi̱n ne̱re̱ wu̱rai̱ a yinno nu̱wa ba nyi̱i̱ je̱e̱ndi̱.Take no bag for the road, or second tunic, or sandals, or staff; for the worker is worthy of his provisions.

11<<Ka bu tembiro gwe̱i̱ du gi̱rai̱ yi̱ du banyi̱nai̱ bu kasa ne̱re̱ wu yi̱ mbi̱r we̱i̱ bu si̱ndi̱ si̱ye̱i̱ a pwii ko̱po̱ nyanggu̱ ku bu duru we̱i̱ po̱o̱ wii.Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy there and stay at his house until you move on.

12Ka bu te̱mbi̱r laa wii bu ci̱ pma.As you enter the home, greet its occupants.

13Ka nu̱wa bu laa wii yo̱o̱ bu nyaa wa, yama pi̱dau̱ gaanggu̱ mbi̱ru̱ ba si̱ya bo̱nggo̱ pmau, ka kwaai yama pi̱dau̱ gaanggu̱ ba waata bu̱ri̱ bo̱nggo̱ mbi̱ru̱.If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it, but if it is not, let your peace return to you.

14Anda kana pi̱yau̱ pu nu̱wa kwaa yi̱gu̱ mbi̱ru̱ pero kwaa ba ka twiyau yi̱ mba, bu kapa gur du mwar mbi̱ri̱, ka bu du̱r gwe̱i̱ dwii.And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.

15N wo̱o̱ sagu̱mbi̱ru̱ ji̱re̱, a nyanggu̱ balu, Yamba nu̱u̱ we̱i̱ bunam nu̱wa bu Sodom yi̱ Gomora yiku ba nu̱u̱ bunam gwe̱i̱ dwii!Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

16N wo̱o̱ tu̱mgu̱ mbi̱ru̱ ci̱ka puuri a cu̱di̱ geppindi. Bu yo̱o̱ pwi̱yangi̱ ci̱ka co̱o̱gi̱ndi̱ pero to̱k ci̱ka bamori.Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

17Bu si̱ndi̱ si̱ye̱i̱ ci̱pi̱gi̱ bu̱ri̱, nu̱wa re̱mbi̱ru̱ we̱i̱, ba de̱mbi̱ra laa balu pero ba wacambi̱ra we̱i̱ a gi̱ri̱ndi̱ ku̱ru̱.But beware of men, for they will hand you over to their councils and flog you in their synagogues.

18Nu̱wa de̱mbi̱ru̱ we̱i̱ gawu̱ri̱ gomnandi yi̱ balamba di̱ngi̱n mi. Anda to̱o̱ yo̱o̱ mbi̱ru̱ we̱i̱ nyinou wu bu wasi̱ri̱ we̱i̱ ci̱ye̱i̱ du teng a dwii mi a bo̱nggo̱ balamba yi̱ nu̱wa bu yaa yo̱o̱gi̱ nu̱wa bu Yudaya wa.On My account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.

19Ka re̱mbi̱ri̱ bo̱nggo̱ balu bu do̱mi̱ ya bu̱ri̱ mi̱n tu bu ce̱ we̱i̱ ca yi̱ kanda ku bu ce̱ wau, ka jo̱ri̱ ye̱i̱ lami̱ Yamba nyi̱i̱mbi̱ri̱ we̱i̱ tu bu ce̱ we̱i̱,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.

20di̱ngi̱n bwii mba bu ce̱gu̱ ci̱ye̱i̱ ne̱ anda twii Bawei Mbaa mbi̱ri̱ a ce̱gu̱ ci̱ye̱i̱ a mi̱ri̱nggi̱ mbi̱ru̱.For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

21<<Ci̱yate̱ nyi̱i̱ we̱i̱ ci̱ya yo̱ nu̱wa ba jiyo, yi̱to̱ mwa mbaate̱ yi̱ bo̱l yo̱. Kwaraa wunmanu we̱i̱ kwiimba diinu we̱i̱ nu̱wa ba laca pma.>>Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.

22Nu̱wa mwa mwa kwaambi̱ri̱ we̱i̱ di̱ngi̱n mi. Anda kana we̱ wu bo̱o̱ gaanggu̱ lam nyanggu̱ ku pungu nyi̱nggu̱ we̱i̱ mi̱rma.You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

23Ka pma turo mbi̱ri̱ di̱na gwe̱i̱ bu cembiro du kanggi̱. N wo̱o̱ sagu̱mbi̱ru̱ ji̱re̱ yaa ku bu mati̱ we̱i̱ wo̱ru̱gu̱ go̱ro̱ndi̱ Israila Bo̱l ne̱re̱ baa we̱i̱.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<<Ne̱re̱ wu ti̱langgu̱ yi̱ru̱ yaa gwali̱ ku̱lu̱m yo̱, ke̱we̱ yaa gwali̱ ne̱re̱ wu gi̱ra yo̱.A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

25Nu̱wa bu ti̱langgu̱ yi̱ri̱ngi̱ wa a daaya ba ni̱nga ci̱ka ku̱lu̱m pmo yi̱to̱ mwa ke̱waa a daaya ba ni̱nga ci̱ka ne̱re̱ wu gi̱ra pmo. Ka nu̱wa yi̱ri̱ ne̱re̱ wu gi̱ra wu laa ki̱n, Baalsabul, gwalanga nu̱wa bu laa wii wa, nu̱wa yi̱ru̱ we̱i̱ pma yi̱ din du gwala do̱o̱!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<<Bu nu̱u̱ ya gwasi̱ nu̱wai̱. Yaa yi̱ri̱ tu sumgi tu nu̱wa na wumdi, pero yaa yi̱ri̱ tu tukugi tu nu̱wa na so̱ni̱.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.

27Yi̱ri̱ tu n sa mbi̱ru̱ ku̱me̱, bu wasi̱ri̱ we̱i̱ yi̱ nyanggu̱. Pero yi̱ri̱ tu bu se̱wai̱ a twe̱e̱ndi̱ mbi̱ri̱, bu te̱e̱ru̱ we̱i̱ dwii kani.What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.

28Bu nu̱u̱ ya gwasi̱ nu̱wa bu ji̱ri̱ bu̱ri̱ wa anda yaa ku puu ji̱gu̱ bawei, waka bu nu̱u̱ gwasi̱ Yambai̱, yo̱ wu puu bwiyanggu mwa mwa bu̱ri̱ yi̱ bawei a pari̱ bwalai.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.

29Nu̱wa yaa cuuri banyi̱li̱ nyan kobo ro̱p ru? Anda yaa banyi̱li̱ su yari̱ si̱ma yaa kem yi̱ so̱mgu̱ Mbaa mbi̱ru̱.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.

30Kana ku̱ri̱ mbi̱ri̱ tu dwii a so̱m ku̱ci̱ ye̱i̱.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31Di̱ngi̱n to̱no̱, bu nu̱u̱ ya gwasi̱ di̱ngi̱n bu gwala banyi̱li̱ wang.So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

32<<Di̱ngi̱n kana we̱ wu ce̱ cu̱du̱ nu̱wa ki̱n yo̱ wongge, mi mwa n ni̱ngi̱ we̱i̱ yi̱to̱ a gawu̱r Mbaa mi wu diyou.Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven.

33Anda kana we̱ wu gwe̱le̱ngge̱ a gawu̱ri̱ nu̱wai̱, mi mwa n gwe̱lu̱ we̱i̱ yo̱ a gawu̱ri̱ Mbaa mi wu diyou.But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.

34Bu dangani̱ ya mi̱n n baa di̱ngi̱n n de̱e̱ pi̱dau̱ gaanggu̱ a si̱ma. Ang ang, n baa bu n de̱e̱ pi̱dau̱ gaanggu̱, anda n de̱e̱ kasi̱gar.Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

35N baa n din ce̱re̱ <Cu̱du̱ ne̱re̱ yi̱ mbaa yo̱, bwe̱e̱canga yi̱ njaa yo̱, siite wu nu̱re̱, ni̱ng we̱i̱ ce̱re̱ yi̱ sii yo̱ wu nu̱re̱For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

36bace̱n mo̱ wu bwi̱i̱ye̱ yo̱ we̱i̱ a mi̱ri̱nggi̱ laa mau.>A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

37<<Kana we̱ wu kangman mbaa yo̱ yi̱ njaa yo̱ gwalanggi̱ yaa ku yinno yo̱o̱gu̱ kwaa mi, ka kangman bo̱l yo̱ wu nambare̱ yi̱ wu nu̱re̱ gwalanggi̱ yaa ku yinno ba yo̱o̱ kwaa mi.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;

38Anda kana we̱ wu de̱ bu ye̱u̱ yo̱u̱, ba po̱nggu̱we̱ yinnibu yo̱o̱gu̱ kwaa mi.and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.

39Kana we̱ wu nyi̱ngga pi̱i̱ma ya mandu̱ we̱i̱ si̱yau̱, kana we̱ wu mansi̱ ye̱i̱ pi̱i̱ma ya di̱ngi̱n mi nyi̱nggu̱ we̱i̱.Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

40<<Kana we̱ wu yi̱mbi̱ra a yi̱ngge̱, kana we̱ wu yi̱ngge̱ a yi̱ wu tu̱mgu̱we̱.He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me.

41Kana we̱ wu yi̱ banabi̱, di̱ngi̱n twii banabi̱, yo̱ yi̱ri̱ we̱i̱ wo̱ri̱ri̱ banabi̱. Pero kana we̱ wu yi̱ ne̱re̱ wu nyaa di̱ngi̱n twii ne̱re̱ wu nyaa yi̱ri̱ we̱i̱ wo̱ri̱ri̱ ne̱re̱ wu nyaa.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.

42Kana we̱ wu puu gundu naagu wu wiino wu banyi̱na a mi̱ri̱nggi̱ bu yo̱o̱gi̱ kwati̱mba muwa, n wo̱o̱ sagu̱mbi̱ru̱ ji̱re̱, yi̱ru̱ we̱i̱ wo̱ri̱ri̱ ye̱i̱.>>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.”
