Luke 6 (YNS) · Opened

1Yàmɛnà naa ilä a saba mwey, Yɛsu kàkäl mulyaaŋ uboo a an'ywaŋ a blɛ. Alɔŋki ande bàbwee imfà, ungö mupfipfiy bya kà an'kɔɔ aba, waa bàdyee mbɛŋ a bya.One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.

2Amfarisi amwɛy bàkäl paa bàtɛn a ba naa: « Ntɔn nkye làkyerà bɛ ndaa mpa bàfàkyer kà ilä a saba? »But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

3Yɛsu kafuur naa: « Nkye bɛ làtäŋ anki ndaa kàkyer David mpal kàwem nde ngyal anà baar bàkäl anà nde?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Nde kàbilà u ndwà a Nzam, kàwɛl mampà ufàpà ibɔɔn akà Nzam laa kàdi nde, mumwɛy nde kàpɛ akà baar bàkäl anà nde, itàkal naa ma angaŋ mpɛl bàfàdyà. »He entered the house of God, took the consecrated bread and gave it to his companions, and ate what is lawful only for the priests to eat.”

5Nde waa kàfàkwɛy abà: « Mwan a mbuur wà mfum a saba. »Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

6Yàmɛnà sye naa ilä a saba kyumwɛy Yɛsu kàbilà u ndwà a nköŋ a Ayudà, waa kàlɔɔŋà. Uboo kwo kàkäl anà mbuur kàkäl anà kɔɔ ibaal làŋàkwɛkà.On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

7Alɔɔŋ a in'kɔɔn anà Amfarisi bàkäl musyebà Yɛsu a duu ntɔn muyöb naa nkye nde akyer akɔɔr mbuur ilä a saba, ntɔn ba bun'bämà ndaa.Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

8Wɛɛ nde kàkyer ayöb an'kyän aba, waa kàbel mbuur kàkäl anà kɔɔ aŋàkwɛkà: « Mbarà, mbar uboboo pà. » Mbuur awà waa kàmbarà, waa kàmbär uboboo a baar.But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.

9Yɛsu waa kafuul naa: « Mɛ in'kwen muyöb: Nkye yubwaŋ mukyer ubwaŋ lɛɛ mukyer ube ilä a saba? Mutswà mɔ̈ɔ̈ a mbuur lɛɛ mukɔɔn atswà wa ilä a saba? »Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”

10Ungö apan, Yɛsu kàler ba banswà, waa kàtɛn a mbuur awun naa: « Sen kɔɔ angye. » Nde sye waa kàsen la, laa làkɔɔrà la.And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.

11Alɔɔŋ a Un'kɔɔn anà Amfarisi bàwem nkyɛl, waa bàsɛmà mutɛn ba a ba naa ba ininà bàkyer akà Yɛsu.But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

12Mpal ayin Yɛsu kàlär udu a mɔŋ ntɔn mukàyamà. Nde kwo kàkyer mpib aŋun'kiinà muyamà Nzam.In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.

13Taaŋtyà, nde kàbel alɔŋki ande, waa kàsɔ̈ɔ̈l kwem aŋiyweel uboo a ba, nde kapɛ ikɔb naa antööm:When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:

14Simɔn, nde kun'pɛ ikɔb a Petɔlà, un'tɔŋ ande Andrɛ, Zyak, Ywan, Filipo, Bàtelàmay,Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

15Màtay, Tuma, Zyak mwan a Alfɛ, Simɔn mbuur a mankay,Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;

16Yudà mwan a Zyak, anà Yudas Iskaryɔt, mbuur ayun'yälà.Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17Ungö apan nde kàyàtyà anà ba, waa bàmbär kà ikal mwɛy kyà ibär, ikal bàkäl alɔŋki ande mbɔɔn anà un'kàbɔ a baar: baar a Yuday lanswà, bà Yɛlusàlɛm, anà baar bàfü un'kɔɔl a an'dà, a Tir anà Sidɔn.Then Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples was there, along with a great number of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon.

18Ba bàyi ntɔn mukun'wem anà ba bàkɔɔrà unsà an'kyal aba. Baar bàkäl anà an'dweelà an'be, bàkyer akɔɔrà.They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.

19Baar banswà bàleŋà muba nde u ndür, ntɔn ngwal mbɔɔn yàkatoo u ndür ande, ya yàkɔɔrà ba banswà.The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.

20Apan Yɛsu kàler alɔŋki ande, waa kàtɛn naa: « Un'sak akà bɛ aŋàlàmbwà, ntɔn imwol a Nzam kye anà bɛ!Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

21Un'sak akà bɛ baar làwe anà ngyal mpalàbà, ntɔn bɛ làkyer asàyuur! Un'sak akà bɛ baar làlelà ŋàbawà, ntɔn bɛ làkyer asàsɛ!Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

22« Un'sak asàkal akà bɛ isàkal naa ba bàmàlàyiiŋ, bàmàlàböŋ, bàmàlato, bàmàlapiy asànaa undiir a ŋingyäy ntɔn Mwan a mbuur!Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.

23Làkäl unsà un'sak mpal isàkwo ndaa ayin ntɔn bweel abɛ làsàkal mbɔɔn u du, ntɔn bànkaa aba bàkyerà abà akà aŋangɔɔm. »Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For their fathers treated the prophets in the same way.

24« Wɛɛ ngyɛb akà bɛ, aŋun'naaŋ, ntɔn bɛ ndɛɛl abɛ lan'wal nsil apà.But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.

25Ngyɛb akà bɛ baar lan'yuur mpalàbà, ntɔn bɛ làsàwem ngyal. Ngyɛb akà bɛ baar làsɛɛ mpalàyi, ntɔn bɛ làsàkal kun'saabà anà uboo a ilel.Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

27« Wɛɛ bɛ baar banswà làweemà mɛ, mɛɛ alàkyään abà: Lakwen ayiiŋ abɛ, làkyer ubwaŋ akà baar bàfàlakyer ube,But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

29Isàkal naa mbuur kàmapà mbar u twam, fàlɛɛ twam lumwɛy. Isàkal naa mbuur kan'gyɔɔr inkur angye, twon amun'tsuŋ muwal kàzak angye.If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well.

30Pà akà mbuur wanswà kan'lɔm, wɛɛ twon an'lɔm undiir angye akà mbuur kan'gyɔɔr wa.Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.

31Undiir wanswà akwen ngye naa baar bàkyer akà ngye, kyer abun sye akà baar bumwɛy.Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32Isàkal naa ngye afàkwen baar bàfakwen, ngye bweel nà an'wal uboo kwo? Baar abɛ sye bàfàkwen baar bàfakwen.If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

33Isàkal naa ngye ubwaŋ afàkyer akà baar bàfakyer ubwaŋ, ngye bweel nà an'wal uboo kwo? Baar abɛ sye bàfàkyer abun.If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.

Ntɔn baar abɛ sye bàfàpà akà baar abɛ ntɔn ba sye bàfàwal asànaa ban'pà ba.And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.

35Làkwen ayiiŋ abɛ, làkyer ubwaŋ, làpɛ ukɔɔn adil bweel. Waa bweel abɛ làsàkal làkölàköl, bɛ sye làsàkal baan a Mwol a du, ntɔn nde afàswaŋ ubwaŋ ande akà baar bàfàfuur ube kà ikal a ubwaŋ anà akà baar abɛ.But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

36Làkäl baar aŋàyɔl a ukwen ntɔn Taaràbɛ wàŋàyɔl a ukwen. »Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

38Làpɛ, waa bɛ bàsàlapà: bàsàyööl mpàkɔr a kölàköl a ipfɛy abɛ a mbäl aŋàbwaŋ, yàŋàkinà, yàŋàndyeer, yàŋàpää.

A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

39Yɛsu kàfàtɛn a ba u itim naa: « Nkye ikwàmii kan'kwo musyen ikwàmii wumwɛy? Nkye ba bàbɔ̈ɔ̈l bàkàbwà anki u fu?Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?

40Un'lɔŋki ukwe anki mulyaaŋ un'lɔɔŋ ande. Wɛɛ un'lɔŋki afàsyääl ndaa a un'lɔɔŋ ande afàbulà asànaa un'lɔɔŋ ande.A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

41Ntɔn nkye amanà ngye isɛrà a un'lɛŋ akyà u dii a un'tɔŋ angye, wɛ ngye amanà anki kyɔɔl là u dii angye?Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

42Ngye an'kwo aben mutɛn a un'tɔŋ angye naa: "Un'tɔŋ, yà mɛ alwom isɛrà a un'lɛŋ ki u dii angye", ngye mbuur mpa akamanà kyɔɔl alà u dii angye? Mbuur a mpem yweel, twab atàlwom kyɔɔl là u dii angye, ungö apan ngye waa ayàman ubwaŋàbwaŋ ntɔn ngye alwom isɛrà a un'lɛŋ ki u dii a un'tɔŋ angye. »How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

43Yɛsu kàfàtɛn naa: « Un'te aŋàbwaŋ ufàbɔr anki mbɛŋ ambe, un'te un'be sye ufàbɔr anki mbɛŋ aŋàbwaŋ.No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

44Ntɔn un'te wanswà bàfàyöb unsà mbɛŋ a wa. Fige bàfàkwol anki unsà ibwiy a nsyeenà, rɛzɛ sye bàfàbwo anki u mikyɛl.For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.

45Mbuur aŋàbwaŋ afàwal ndaa aŋàbwaŋ unsà an'kyän aŋàbwaŋ màfàtoo u mpem ande, wɛɛ mbuur un'be afàwal ndaa a mbe unsà an'kyän ande mube. Ntɔn ndaa yanswà ufàtɛn mbuur ifàfà u mpem ande. »The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

46« Wɛɛ Ntɔn nkye lan'beelà bɛ naa Mwol, Mwol, wɛɛ bɛ ndaa amɛ làfàlab anki?Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but do not do what I say?

47Mɛ in'kyer ayàlàswaŋ naa mbuur afàwem ndaa amɛ anà afàsyääl ya, nde wà nà:I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:

When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

49Wɛɛ mbuur afàwem ndaa amɛ wɛɛ nde ya ufàsyääl anki, wà asànaa mbuur kàtɔ̈ŋ ndwà ande udu a ansɛŋ ukɔɔn un'bään, ibɔɔ a an'dà laa byà ni bya ndwà ayin, laa yàbwabà ya. »But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”
