Luke 8 (WRO) · Opened

1Ge kunina lo:jenda pąlejau aua keŋaŋuru malaiindem, maiarundjeruŋuma, ardi:um kululeri, kungąŋuruleri wąląnu-wunia bąndaia God anąŋga, twelve aua nąnja;Soon afterward, Jesus traveled from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,

2Woŋaia atjąkekąria arka ąŋgąmurdui:neri agulaia arduria a mareja, Mary njąŋgąrimiena Magdalena, njąŋge-i-dągu ąŋgeŋa agulaia ąnŋąlja,as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3Joanna mąŋgąnąŋgąnj a Chuza inaiuri Herod nąnja, a Susanna a njindarawanja ndjkekąrinja, arka ąŋganbądo:neri wuląnbiri arkanąŋgaia.Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4Wuno:murum peleŋgąraia djenbeŋuru djḁruk aŋgąmiena, iŋgadburkalal malaiindem mararawum ḁlp, kulula bąre-bḁre nąnja.While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5Tjalangąnja ŋąra keŋaŋuru wolumbąra wunja tjḁląngąnja anąŋganja. Wąli wolumbąra geŋiri, ndjkekąrinja njąŋgari:na kalumba iaminim maninja; djąmbąba njindjo:riena, punaria wuŋo:ru ŋąria mindjḁl kubądjuŋanąŋga.“A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, where it was trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.

6Ndjkekąrinja njąŋgari:na kaiugu nąnja, njiŋge ba wa kundjuŋal, njindalga njinina gewunja agu njino:ra.Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7Ndjkekąrinja njąŋgari:na wonąndja nąnja, wonąndja ba wa kubądjuŋal, limbitja kauero:na.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8Ndjkekąrinja njąŋgari:na kabąlba mḁnium maninja, ba wa kundjuŋal, kurab bḁri kaiąndąla irara. Wuna ka:lula, jero:l kundjuŋu, Aua ini:um kudai ŋuru wunja, ŋuru kąninja.Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprang up and produced a crop—a hundredfold.” As Jesus said this, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

9Inalalaia burkai kaueriąbuna, Ŋḁnąŋga bḁre-bḁre wuna?Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10Aua kundjuŋu, Njiri nąnja kuno:wi:ŋu laiburu wunja wundjąlgeje bąndaia ŋąri God anąŋga, O! atjąkekąria bḁre-bḁre nąnja, gewunja madidjeri wa pąmadidjąn, ŋuru ąŋgąnuŋiri wa puŋgadenąn.He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’

11Bḁre-bḁre wima kunuŋ. Tjḁląnganja ŋala-ŋąla God anąŋga kunuŋ.Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12Arka kalumba iaminim maninj a ark a ŋuru ąŋgąnina, gejau keŋgal agula kano:ŋgu ŋąla-ŋąla ardi:um maninja, madji wa puŋgarkudjarąn, arąmundulbaie ŋąna.The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.

13Arka kaiugu nąnja arka wuno:murum ŋuru ąŋgąnina tjukul ŋąri ŋąla-ŋąla kubądba, arka wondudba ardo:no:reja, pulągajau wa puŋgarkudjarąn, ąŋgo:ndjui:ŋu jarąŋga kaduŋ.The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word and receive it with joy, but they have no root. They believe for a season, but in the time of testing, they fall away.

14Njiŋge puląga wonąndja nąnja, arka ŋuru ąŋgąnina, wurgunu nąnja, wuląnbi' dąnja, tjukul ŋąri arkaui nąnja ąŋgeŋuriri, limbitja karwi:ŋu, kurab kari wa bḁri paueriąndąn.The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.

15Njiŋge kabąlba manium maninj a, arka kaduŋ, argulum mąnium, aliŋąri nąnja, ŋąla-ŋąla ŋuru ąŋgąnina, njḁdba kubądba, kurab bḁri kaueriąnda njḁmula ŋąri.But the seeds on good soil are those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, cling to it, and by persevering produce a crop.

16I:dja kari wuno:murum tjanaim duru ki:la wa bur puŋgennąŋga ḁŋgąm maninja, wa puŋgan-den inarugu waiuru, O! tjanai' ŋąra nąnja kuŋgande, gewunja arka dąra ąŋgeŋgaliri tjanaim pitja mąra ewuro:.No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

17Gewunja kari kaielgaiena ŋąmba wa pitja mąra puŋgauwi:n; kari wundjąlgeje ŋąri ŋąmba wa pitja laiburu puŋgąniŋaien, ŋąmba wa pitja marąma nąnja puŋgeŋgunal gąri.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18Gewunja maranindj ŋḁrunąŋgọwu ŋuru njirkunuŋ, gewunja aua kudai aua nąnja pitja njḁno:wi:, aua ino:ra pitja eno:ngie aua nąnja ge mąra kauwi:ŋu aua kudai ŋąna.Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”

19Kauerąmurkalal karanąŋgąnja a ŋawawanaŋgaia, aua nąnja kądjinba pareŋgunjal peleŋgąre nąnja.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20Kului manąŋga, Ŋundju karanja, nundju nawawaia, dąnde karwelgeŋiri, Mąra ero: kubądjiri.He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21Aua kandjo:lbąla kundjuŋąnąŋgori, Ŋaiu karanja, ŋaiu nawawaia kaduŋ arka ŋąla-ŋąla God anąŋga ŋuru ąŋgąnuŋ, ge kadju.But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22Ge kunina mąŋgundjiau aua dąra keŋaŋuru namąndi ŋąnja, aua ŋundjuŋundju inalalaia kuda:, kundjuŋąnąŋgori, Wo:ndum kanalu ŋḁriuri; bḁri kubąrkaŋurula.One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out.

23Wąli kariŋaŋuriri aua kulunu kąnina. Adjadjiri mąndjum maiąbaiąbenal wo:ndum maninja, kąlabu kundjuŋiri, arka wunauurgun' nąnja kadina.As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.

24Kauerąmurkalal bḁri kaueriąndąla, kubądjuŋiri, Inaiuri, Inaiuri, debąra ŋḁriuri. Aua bḁri kąnina, mamaiḁmbunandu mąndjum a pąląŋgąrinja wo:ndum maninja, wudun kundjuŋandu, tjumulu kunina.The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters, and they subsided, and all was calm.

25Kundjuŋąnąngori, Nḁnąm wa puŋgąŋudjarien-ŋąri njirkanąŋga? Arka karkulguneneri, rąngąri kariŋa, arge wurura kubądjuŋiri, Indja ąŋudja kąra, aua mąndjum, wo:ndum genąŋgandu, mauandu ŋuru kaŋurandu?“Where is your faith?” He asked. Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”

26Madburkąla tḁmbium Gerasenia arkanąŋgam, ma inalu Galilee.Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27Wuno:murum ba iŋgeŋgunal pąlul' dąnja, i:dja kąmąndjerąla malaiindem ḁlp, agulaia kudai, golema wobi wa tai pąŋgąninja, maiarum maninja wa atją pąŋgąninja, O! madem maninja.When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.

28Wuno:murum Jesu mąra iŋgo:na, jero:l kundjuŋu, Ŋaiu ŋḁni kuŋenu, Jesu ŋunŋungula God Karąŋ ŋąra mandj? Burkai ŋunjiąb, pąnjąnbiri.When the man saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You not to torture me!”

29Gewunja aua geŋanąŋga agula inuru ba iŋgeŋgaldąga i:dja nąnja. Gewunja tjile-jile laburd iŋgąmąn, kaŋuriena bur iŋgąni:na tjąŋadjąŋ nąnja, ierdu-ŋąria nąnja, tjąŋadjąŋ dalar kąmaŋ, kaŋaŋa-wiena agula nąnja bundul' kuru.For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places.

30Jesu burkai kaiąbuna, Ŋunŋumba ŋḁnąŋga? Aua kundjuŋu, Legion, gewunja agulaia ardarawaia dąra ąŋgenaŋuru aua nąnja.“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31Arka burkai kaueriąbuna kari puŋgenjanąŋgori ąŋgeŋaŋuru tjalani ŋuru.And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32Ma kadina wiriŋąri pig ardarawaia no:wa kadineri tḁląmbąn nąnja; burkai kaueriąbuna aua ąnjąnąŋu wunja ąŋgeŋaŋuru arka nąnja; aua kanąŋula.There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.

33Agulaia i:dja ba kariŋgunaldąga, pig ŋuru dąra kariŋaŋuru, wiri-ŋąri tjḁri kubądburąŋ wo:naŋgąli-i-dągu wo:ndu' ŋuru, jauarḁra kubądjuŋ.Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

34Arka barui ąŋganbądo:neri wuno:murum mąra ąŋgo:na ge tjumąn kąmiena, pąlja kubądjuŋiri, kubąlula malaiindem maninj a, wauim maninja.When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35Arge kariŋaŋuru mara wunja ge tjumąn kąmiena, Jesu kauerąmurkalal, mąra kauero:na i:dja aua agulaia iŋgadjąndiwela atją iŋgąnineri, tai iŋgąni:na, ini:um kudai, Jesu ierdu nąnja; karkulguneneri.So the people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

36Arka kuda: mąra ąŋgo:na kubądjuŋąnąŋgori ŋḁrunąŋgowu iŋgąmundulbaiena aua agulaia kudai.Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37Peleŋgąraia ardarawaia tḁmbium Gerasenia wo:ri mąŋgarwuneri burkai kaueriąbuna ąŋgaiąndiwe wunja, gewunja djenbeŋuru karkulguneneri; aua namąndi nąnja dąra keŋaŋuru, djo:li kąninaŋuru.Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, because great fear had taken hold of them. So He got into the boat and started back.

38Mia i:dja aia agulaia iŋgadjąndiwela burkai kaiąbuna aua nąnja iŋgąnuŋ wunja; O! kaŋaŋawuna, kundjuŋiri,The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39Djo:li bąnuŋuru tḁmbium ŋundjanąŋga' ŋuru, minje wunaiuru God geŋąnu. Aua keŋaŋuru, malaiindem mararawum maninja djo:jąn kumąŋeri wunaiuru Jesu geŋanąŋga.“Return home and describe how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.

40Wuno:murum Jesu djo:li iŋgąninal peleŋgąraia kauerąmąŋ; gewunja ardarawaia kauerananąla.When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41Gejau wai! keŋgunal i:dja iŋumba Jairus, aua inaiuri dadjurdŋąrim maninj a iŋgąnina, kauwona Jesu ierdu nąnja, burkai kaiąbuna iŋgeŋgal kunja maiarum anąŋgam,Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42Gewunja pąmaranja ndjḁruŋamanj a aua kudai, njąŋga woralinja, kuŋgądjuneri. Wąli iŋgeŋaŋuriri peleŋgąraia aua nąnja naia kadbiena.because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43Woŋaiinja ndjḁruŋ, njąŋga golema gulu wo: kumbąnanąngeri, njąŋga kądjinba pinjimurduienja i:dja kari nąnja.including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.

44Iwelbam njeŋgunal kąmąndanąla iamiŋgum wobi anąŋga, maiirgi:rkum dumbulu gulu njąŋganąŋga tjimi kunjąŋa.She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45Jesu kundjuŋu, Ąŋguja ŋąnmąndanąla? Ardarawaia kari kubądjuŋ. Peter kundjuŋu, Inaiuri, peleŋgąre ŋundju nąnja djḁruk kadbieŋiri, ŋąndọa karkaŋurieŋiri.“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46Jesu kundjuŋu, Ąŋguja ŋąna ŋḁnmąndanala; gewunja laiburu ŋḁnina wundjurulu ŋḁndjąndiwela.But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47Gejau woŋaiinja, wuno:murum mąra ko:na wa pinjindjąlgaienja, djedjeriwa njeŋgunal, njimbąna imąnŋąle ŋuru, ąŋudjakunja iŋgąmąndanąla njąŋga kundjuŋu peleŋgḁre adbąnŋąle ŋuru, ŋḁrunąŋgọwu maiirgi:rkum njąŋgąmurduiena.Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.

48Aua kundjuŋanąŋga, Pąmaranja, wa panjąnŋudjarenja, ŋunmundulbaieŋu; abi:la baiu.“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49Ge-i-di-dągu aua kaluleri, kengal iḁruŋ dadjurdŋąrim inaiuri-i-dągu, kundjuŋiri, Pąmaranja ŋundjanąŋga gole njimąnja, inaiuri djądjeri pindjiinąŋgeri.While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”

50Jesu ŋuru iŋgąnina kaio:lbąla, Puŋungulgunejiri; dja pąnjąŋudjareri, pitja njemundulbaie.But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51Maiarum mąŋgamurkalal, wa panąŋunjai:dja kari dąra ąŋgeŋgal kunja, argekama Peter a James a John, woralinja iranąŋga a karanąŋgąnja.When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.

52Ardarawaia wola kubądjuŋiri, njimbądema-leri. O! aua kundjuŋu, Wola piriiri; wa debąra pinjeŋąn dąga, kulunu njinuŋiri.Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53Arka kauerii:la, laiburu ąŋganina njąnga debąra njiŋgeŋa.And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54Aua njino:ri kumąŋ, ai kundjuŋu, kundjuŋiri, Woŋaląŋunja, bḁri bąnu.But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Njiŋandj djo:li njimurkaiena, maiirgi:rkum bḁri njinina, gejau aua kundjuŋu, Njino: mindjḁl kunja.Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56Gejau inenaiurgandu rḁngḁri keŋandu; O! aua kundjuŋąnąŋgandu i:dja kari piriinąŋgoriri ge tjumąn kąniŋaiena.Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
