eng: “Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.

amo: “Linuana nin ton tipinpin wadi kitenen Yahuda tona ugo Dauda wa yerti, uworsu. To ti pipingye Na dak kidegenghe, barna Ufunu Ulauwe Na belin Dauda ku a yertin.


eng: For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry.

amo: Aworo nanin awadi gono kata Kutelle nafo arik, amino durso anan ni vira Yesu inanin wakifo imologhe.”


eng: When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.

amo: Daana abenle uliru une, amini wa fita cindu kitene kane, awut kitene kane wantina nanin iyenju Yesu ku, udu wulu nizi mine.


eng: While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,

amo: Dana anan nono katua wa din yenju udume kitene kane. Nya kube Among anit awa ba tin yisina kupopo mine nin na littuk aboo. Iwadi anan kadura Kutelleari.


eng: Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb.

amo: Bitrus nin kani gono katwawe nuzu udas, ido kiti kissekke.


eng: They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first.

amo: I tunna ncum ligowe, kani gono katwawe katiza Bitrus ku nin cum a yaringhe ndi duru kiti kissekke.


eng: For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.”

amo: Ilenge imone na se, bara uliru Kutelle nan kulo, “Na ina puru liku me ko lirum ba.”


eng: Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”

amo: Tutung umong uliru Kutelle wa belli “Ima yenjughe ame ulenge na iwa burughe.”


eng: After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty!”

amo: Kimal nani nin yirun Yesu, nworu imon vat nmala, anan ta uliru Kutelle nan so kidegen, a woro, “Ayin kotoi.”


eng: Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.

amo: KItene lissu nmyen mi gbalala wa duku, I buro lissut likpu jangarang i shono nanya nmyen mi gbalale, i taghe nnuu.


eng: Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;

amo: Simon Bitrus dofino Yesu ku, nanere wang nkang gono katwa we. Ame kani gono katwa we, udya na Priest wa yirughe, amini wa piru kuti nshara ndya na Prieste nin Yesu;


eng: but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.

amo: Bitrus wa yissin kibulun ndas. Ame kani gono katwa we, na udya na Prieste wa yirughe tunna anuzu udas adi lirin nin kucin kuwani na kuwadi nca kibulunghe a pirna Bitrus ku nanye.


eng: They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

amo: I kawaghe i woro “Yesu Nnazaret.” Yesu woro nani, “Mere ame.” Yahuda, ule na awa lewu ghe, awa yissing ligowe nin na soje.


eng: When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.

amo: Na aworo nani, “Mere” ikpilla nin kidung i deu kutyen.


eng: Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father’?”

amo: Among nono katwa me woro nadon mine, “Uyapin uliruari ulele na aworo nari, 'nin kubiri bat, na ima kuru iyenei ba; aminin woro tutung nin kubiri bat tutung, ima yenei,' tutung, 'Bara nma du kitin Ncifa?'


eng: They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”

amo: Inin woro, “Iyaghari ilele a belle, 'Kubi cingiling'? Na tiyino iyaghari adin belu ba.”


eng: I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

amo: Menghari litinoe; anunghari tilanghe. Ule na adi nin mi ameng ninghe, ame uleli unite masu kumat gbardang, andi na nin mi ba iwasa isu imon ba.


eng: If a man doesn’t remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

amo: Andi na unit nso nin mi ba, ima fillinghe a koto nafo ulang; anit ma pitiru tilanghe iti nla, tima juju kidowo.


eng: If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

amo: Asa iso nan mi, tutung asa uliru nighe nso nanya mine, tirinon imon ile na idi nin sue, ima su minu ining.


eng: “In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.

amo: Nin nanere idin ti Ucif gongong, inan macca nono gbardang ikuru iso nono katwa.


eng: Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

amo: Nene a u idin paska dutu sa udak, Yesu wa yiru kubi me nmal dak nworu ama nyiu nle uyee udu kitin Cife, na ata usu nanit me na idi nanya nle uyee, a durso nani usu un sa ligang.


eng: During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,

amo: Shinta wadi amal ti ukpiliu unanzang kibinayin Yahuda Iskarioti usaun Simon, a lewu Yesu ku.


eng: Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.

amo: Nenere idin shara in yii ulele; Nene ima ko unan tigo nyii ulele.


eng: And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

amo: A Meng, asa ifyi nanya kutyin, nma wunnu anit vat udak kitining.”


eng: But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

amo: Awa bellin nani adurso imus nkul ule na uma seghe.


eng: Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,

amo: Yesu se kajaki kabene a ghanaku nafo na iwa yertin.


eng: “Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”

amo: “Na uwa lanza fiu ba, fe ushonon Sihiyona; yenen Ugo mine din cinu, assosin kitene kajaki kabene.”


eng: But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,

amo: Ama adidya na nan dursuzu kite munu tinuu imolu Laazaru ku;


eng: because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

amo: bara amere a Yahudawa gbardang wa sun nani iyinna nin Yesu.


eng: Then they sought for Jesus and spoke with one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he isn’t coming to the feast at all?”

amo: Iwa din pizurun Yesu ku, ilira nan nati mine nanya kutii nlira, “Iyaghari idin kpiluze? Na aba dak kitin ide ba?”


eng: Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.

amo: Ugo na priest nan na Farisawa wani uduka andi umong yiru kikanga na Yesu duku, na abelin inan kifoghe


eng: Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.

amo: Yesu woroghe, “Menghari ufyu na nan kul, Myeri ulai; ulenge na ayinna nin mi, ko aku, ama ti ulai;


eng: Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

amo: ame ulenge na adi nin lai, aminin yinna nin mi na ama kuba. Uyinna nin le ulire?”


eng: Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.

amo: Umong unit unan lissan Laazaru wadi nin konu. Ame unit Nbaitanyari, kagbirin Maryamu nin gwane Marta.


eng: It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

amo: Maryamu une na awa tintilo nnuf kunya kumang nabunun Cikilare awese abune nin titime, gwanemere wadi Laazaru unan kone.


eng: I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;

amo: Menghari unan libya ugegeme, in yiru ananing, ananighe yiruoi.


eng: even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

amo: Ucife yirui, Meng wang yiro Ucife, Meng nani ulai ning bara akame.


eng: He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn’t own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.

amo: Ame unan libya nduk, na unan nakam ba, na amere unan nakame ba, awa yene kinyinyo ucin dak ama sunu akame a cum awulu. Kiyinyo ma yiru a wulttun ani.


eng: The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care for the sheep.

amo: Ama cum asun akame na ama rissu anin ba, bara na ame unan katwa ndukkari.


eng: All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.

amo: Vat na lenge na ina dak ameng dutu udak, akiriari nin na nan bolusu nimon, na akame ma lanzu nani ba.


eng: I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out and will find pasture.

amo: Menghari kibulunghe. Asa ko uyeme unit npira unuzu ning, ama se utucu; ama pira anuzu ama se kiti kileo.


eng: The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

amo: Na ukiri din dak ba se asu likiri, amolu, anin nanza. Meng na dak ina se ulai ise unin gbardang kang.


eng: “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

amo: Menghari unan libya ugegeme. Unan libya ugegeme asa ana ulai me bara akame.


eng: “Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn’t enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.

amo: “Kidegenere, Nbelin minu, ulenge na apira nanya nshing ligo nakame na libo kibulun ba, asa a kala udanga a pira, unit une ukiriari nin nan bolsu nimon.


eng: But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

amo: Ule na a pira kibulun amere unan libya nakame.


eng: The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

amo: Ame unan ca ma punghe kibulun. Akame ma lanzu liwui me, ama yicu akame nin tissa mine a nutun nani udu udas.


eng: Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

amo: Asa anutuno akame ndas vat, ama cinu nbun mine, akame dortoghe, bara na i yiru liwui me.


eng: His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

amo: Acif me kawa nani, “Arik yiru usaun bitari ulele, tutung iwa marughe udu.


eng: but how he now sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”

amo: Ita inyizari adin yenju kiti nene na arik yiru ba, saghari npunghe iyize, na arik yiruba. Tinonghe. Amal waurnu. Awasa asu uliru nin liti me.”


eng: His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

amo: Acife wasu uleli ulire bara na iwa din lanzu fiu na Yahudawa. Bara a Ayahudawe wa di imal yinnun nworu asa umong nyinna Yesu Kristari, ima nutunghe nanya kutii nlira.


eng: Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”

amo: Bara nanere wati, acif me wa woro, “Ame nwasirna, Tirinonghe.”


eng: I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.

amo: Tima su katwa nlenge na ana tuyi a kiti dutu kanang. Kitik din cinu na umong wasa asu katwa ba.


eng: While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

amo: Asa ndu nanya nyie, mere nkanang in yie.”


eng: The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,

amo: Anan niyerte nin na Farisawa da nin mong uwani na iwa kifoghe nanya kulapi nfunu nin mong, iceoghe kitikmine.


eng: they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.

amo: Inin woro Yesu ku. “Unan Dursuzu, uwani ulele, ikifogheari nanya kulapin nfunu, ima niyitan nsure.


eng: Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”

amo: Nene nanya duke, Musa na woro nari asa ti filiso imus nnit une; fe nworo iyaghari kiteneme?”


eng: They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

amo: Iwa belli nani inan kifoghe nin tikanci. Yesu tunna a tumuno a su inyerte kutyen nin licin me.


eng: His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.

amo: Nuana me woroghe, “suna kikane udo u Yahudiya, bara nono katwafe nan yene katwa kanga na udin sue.


eng: For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”

amo: Na umong din su imonmong liyeshin ba, andi ame litime di nin su iyinin ghe. Andi udi su ile imone, durso litife nanya nyie”


eng: For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.

amo: Bara inung nauna me wang wa yinin nighe ba.


eng: They said therefore to him, “What then do you do for a sign, that we may see and believe you? What work do you do?

amo: I tunna i woroghe, “Uyapin ushaidari uma ti, arik nan yene, ti yinna nin fi?” Inyaghari umati?


eng: Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”

amo: Acif bit wa lizu umanna nanya ntene, nafo na ina yertin, “Awa ni nani ufungal un nuzu kitene kani ili.”


eng: However, boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

amo: Nton tizirgi da unuzun Tibariya susut nin kiti kanga na ini leo imonleku, kimalin tin liran Ncikilare.


eng: When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn’t there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

amo: Na ligozine wa yinni nwo, Yesu sa nono katwa me na iwa di kite ba, inung atimine pira nanya tizirge i nya udu u Kafarnahum udun pizirun Yesu ku.


eng: When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea.

amo: Na kulele nta, nono katwa me tolo udu kurawa.


eng: They entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

amo: Ipira nanya nzirgin nmyen, itunna ncin nya kurawe cindu Ukafarnahum. (kiti wadi kimal siru na Yesu wadi asa da kitimine ba.)


eng: Jesus therefore, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?”

amo: Na Yesu wa yene ligozin nanit gbardang din cinu udak kitime, a woro Filibus ku, “Tima seru imonli nweri alele nan leo?”


eng: He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

amo: (Yesu wa belli nani anan dumuna Filibus ku, bara ame wa yiru imon ile na ama su.)


eng: A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.

amo: Ligozin nanit gbardang wa din dortughe, bara iwa yenje imon ile na awa suzu anan tikonu.


eng: Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.

amo: Yesu wa ghana kitene likup asoku ligowe nin nono katwa me.


eng: Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.

amo: (Kubin paska, u idi na Yahudawa wa dak susut.)


eng: In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;

amo: Anan tikonu gbardang wa non nbiu kule, aduu, anan kentu, anan nabunu ayerere na kotuzo. Iwa din ca nbukunun nmyen ne.


eng: for an angel went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had.

amo: Bara gono kadura Kutelle nkon kubi asa atolo ada a bukurno nmyene, vat nlenge na a yarna upiru nya kule ama se ushinu nanya nkonu me ko uyapinari di.


eng: After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.

amo: Kimal nayiri abane, awa sun kikane ucin u G alili.


eng: For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

amo: Bara ame Yesu litime wa bellin na unan liru nin nu Kutelle di gogon nanya kagbiri me ba.


eng: So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.

amo: Na awa piru u Galili, anan Galile sereghe. Bara iwa yene umone na asu vat in Urshalima kitin buke, inung wang wa do kitin buke.


eng: Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

amo: Na Yesu wa yinin a Farisawa nmal lanzu ame din sesu nnono katwa gbardan a ashinto nani nmyen, ikata nin Yuhana,


eng: (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),

amo: (kona ame Yesu nin litimaere wa shintu anite nmyene ba, non katwa mere wa suzu),


eng: he left Judea and departed into Galilee.

amo: awa sun u Yahudiya a nya udu u Galili.


eng: Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

amo: Nkon ku Farisawa wa duku lissame Nikodimus, awa di nin tigo nanya kudaru na Yahudawa.


eng: He came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him.”

amo: Unit une wa dak kitin Yesu nin kitik a woroghe, “Rabbi, tiyiru fe unan dursuzu nanitari unuzu kiti Kutelle, bara na umong wasa asu ukama nilenge imone na udin suze se dei Kutelle di ninghe.”


eng: But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,

amo: Vat nin nani, na Yesu wa yinnin ni ghinu ba, bara na ayiru anit asurne vat.


eng: and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

amo: Na ame dinin su imong bellinghe imonmon litin nnit usurne ba. Ame litime yiru imong ilenge na idi nnit usurne.


eng: The third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there.

amo: Kimal nayiri atat, uteru nilumgma wadi in Kan'ana un Galili, unan Yesu wa yita ku.


eng: Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.

amo: Ame Yesu wang iwa nighe uyicilue, nin na nan katwa me, udu kiti nilugme.


eng: One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.

amo: Unwasamme nanya nan wabe na iwa lanza Yuhane din liru a tunna a dofino Yesu ku, Andirawusari wadi, gwanan Simon Bitrus.


eng: He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).

amo: A wa tu ase gwana me Simon aworoghe. “Tisse unan tuce” (Na ukpiliuwere 'Kristi').


eng: I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”

amo: Na meng yininghe ba, una so nani inan dursoghe kitin nonon Israila unnare meng na dak ndin shintu anit nmyen.”


eng: John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.

amo: Yuhane wa ti ushaida, “Nwa yene uruhu din tolsu unuzu kitene kani nafo kuwulung, uda lwa kiteneme.


eng: I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’

amo: Na nwa yiningghe ba, ame ulenge na ana tuyi nshintu anite nmyene na woroi, 'kitenen nlenge na uma yenu uruhu ntolo uso litime, amere ulenge na ama shintu anit nanyan Ruhu ulau.'


eng: I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”

amo: Meng yene, nkuru nna ushaida ulengene Usaun Kutelleari.”


eng: John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.

amo: Yuhana kawa nani aworo, “Meng din shintizunu nani nmyen. Vat nin nani, nanya mine umong yissin ku ulenge na anung yirughe ba.


eng: He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”

amo: Amere ulenge na ama dak kidung nighe. Na meng batin nbunku ti na kpatak me ba.”


eng: He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.

amo: Na Yuhanere wadi nkanaghe ba, awa dak anan belle ubelle kanaghere.


eng: The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

amo: Mininghere nkanang kidegen mongo na miwa cinu ucin dak nanya in yii mi durso ko uyeme unit.


eng: Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb;

amo: Nani tutung, among awani nan nya bite nna nari tissina, ini do kissekke nin kwui dinding.


eng: and when they didn’t find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

amo: Na iyene kidowo me ba, inani kpilla, ina ni nworo inin ta amoron wui nono kadura Kutelle nworo nani adi nin lai.


eng: While they talked and questioned together, Jesus himself came near, and went with them.

amo: I wa din lirue icin cine a iyita ntiru nati mine ligowe Yesu da duru nani a tunna ncine nanghinu.


eng: But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.

amo: Amma iyizi mine wa turdun na iyininghe ba.


eng: returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

amo: ikpilla unuzu kissekke I belle ngissin kuzakure ubeleng ni leli imone vat umunu ngissin nanite.


eng: Now they were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. The other women with them told these things to the apostles.

amo: Maryamu Magdaliya, Yuwana, nin Maryamu unan Yakubu, a ngissin na wane na iwa di ligowe di belin nono katwawe ile imone.


eng: Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man

amo: Umong unit wa diku unan lissan Yusufu, nan nya na nan kpiluzu, unit ugegeme nin katwa kacine


eng: (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.

amo: (na awa yinin nin kpiluzue nin lidu longo na isu ba), unit in Arimathiya, nkan kipin na Yahudawa, ulenge na awa di nca kipin tigoo Kutelle.


eng: But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.

amo: Amma ileo ubun njartiza kang, npiru nworu ikotinghe kucha. Tiwui mine ta Bilatus yinna.


eng: Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.

amo: Bilatus yinna nani nin kuculu mine.


eng: I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

amo: Bara nani mma tighe aneo, nsunghe.”


eng: Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.

amo: Amma uwa so Bilatus ju gbas a nutun a Yahudawe ku kucin kurum kilari licin kubin idi.


eng: Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

amo: Yesu woro udiya nnan yenju kutii nlire, anan ncaa kutiin nlire, nin nadidiya ntardu nacara kutii nlira na iwa dak kiti me nin mayardam, “Idaa nafo anang kifun kiria nin nasangali nan tiyupa?


eng: When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn’t stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”

amo: Na uwadi nan ghinu nanya kutii nlire vat lire, na umong myene nakpa ucara liti nighe ba bara nenere kubi myene, nin likara nsirti.”


eng: The Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have all of you, that he might sift you as wheat,

amo: Simon, Simon, yino, Shetan di nin su akifo fi, anan cecile fi nafo ualkama.


eng: but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.”

amo: Bara nani meng mma tifi nlira, bara uyenu nsalin yenu wa dire. Uwadi umalu gitirinu kimal tutung, ta nwana fine likara.”


eng: Satan entered into Judas, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve.

amo: Shetan pira nanya Yahuda Iskariyot, owarum nanya likure nin naba me.


eng: He went away and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.

amo: Yahuda du idi kpilza nang na didya kutii nlira nang nanan niyert na ma nakpu Yesu ku nacara mene.


eng: He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,

amo: Anin woro, “Kidegene mbelen minu, ule uwanin derun lese inta vat a kata anit ane.


eng: for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on.”

amo: Vat mene wani nanya nigbardan ile na idimun. Bara nani ule uwanin salin lese, wani nanya likimun me, vat nikurfun mere a wanutun.


eng: But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.

amo: Bara nani ale na idumna nani ise iduru useru nanan fitu unuzum kul inin piru ulai sa ligang na idin suzu ilugma sa i nakpa uwani ba.


eng: For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.

amo: Na I ba kuru I kuu tutung ba, bara na isoo nafo nono kadura Kutelle, inun nso nono Kutelle.


eng: He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.

amo: A taa anite ntun tiwankare, “Umung wa bilisu kunem, anaa among ukewe, anya udu nkankipin a di dandaun ku.


eng: At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty.

amo: Na kubi da atoo kucin me udu kitin nanan kye kunene, au inighe kumat kuce, bara nani anan kye kunene fooghe, inin kooghe nin na cara akone.


eng: A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’

amo: Umon uwani wa duku na ules me wa ku nanya kagbiri kane, asu ada kitime kolome liyiri, abenle, 'Buuni anan nayi asirne mpardai.'


eng: He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,

amo: Kubi kata piit na adinin su a buunghe ba, na I dandauna ba a woro liti me, 'Bara na indin lanzu fui Kutelle sa unit ba,


eng: yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”

amo: vat nani uwanin salin nles ulele din fizwi kibinai, nma buunghe nwusughe kedegene, bara a wa tii kudirya nin dasu me vat liri.'”


eng: There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken and the other will be left.”

amo: Awani naba ba yitu tiyazung, I ba yiru warum isuun warum.


amo: Anit naba ma yitu kuneen, I ba yiru umong isuun umong.”


eng: Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

amo: Namere nafo na udi nanya nayirin Lot, I wadin nli iyitan nso, I sese, I lese I bilsa, I key ni lari.


eng: but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky and destroyed them all.

amo: Bara nami nanya liri longo na Lot in nuzu nanyan Sodom, atantani nla wa din nnuzu kitine kani uda leo nani vat.


eng: As it was in the days of Noah, even so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man.

amo: Nafo na uwa di nanyo nayirin Nuhu, nanere tutung ima ti nanya nayirin Gono nnit.


eng: They ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

amo: I wadin nle, iyitan nso, I suzu ilugma I niza ashono mene nilugma, udu liri lo na Nuhu wa pirum njirgi - men nwure daa mida mulso nani vat.


eng: One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.

amo: Na warum nanya mene yene ashino a kpiliya kidowo a ghartina liwui adin vuu Kutelle.


eng: He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.

amo: Ada tumuno nabun Yesu, adin godighe ame wadi ku Samariya wari.


eng: I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.

amo: Mba sunu kikane ndo kitin ncif ning, nning belinghe, “Ucif, nta kulapi nnang kitene, nin kiti fe.


eng: I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’

amo: Na mbatin iyicilai usaun fe ba; tai nafo nkong kucin fe.”'


eng: When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him.

amo: Uso liyiri namong Asabbath, kube ado nanya kilari nmon udia Nafarsayawa alii imonlii, iwadi ncara me chochot.


eng: Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.

amo: Kikane nbun me, umon wa duku awa dinin nkonu nmyi adin nniyu mun kang.


eng: It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his own garden. It grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky live in its branches.”

amo: Kidi nafo fimus kuku, fongo na unit nyawna amin nfilo nanya kunen me, in foni nkuno fiso kutca kudia, anyin kusho ani nda kee addo mine tilanghe.”


eng: Again he said, “To what shall I compare God’s Kingdom?

amo: Tutun aworo, “Min nyanghari nba gwadu kipin tigoo Kutelle muna?


eng: It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.”

amo: Kidi nafo uyist na uwani nyauna, amunu nin nayanga atat an nbulun, udu kubi na umuzo.”


eng: He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.

amo: Nene Yesu wadin ndursuzuwe nanya kutyin nlirag namon Asabbath,


eng: Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. She was bent over and could in no way straighten herself up.

amo: umon uwani wa duku kikane, wenge na adimun nakus likure nin kulir, uruhu unazang, nkuzu kidowo wa seghe, aso kangarang awasa ayisina dert ba.


eng: Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.

amo: Kucin kone unan nmariari ale na Cikilare mine ba dase nani ncaa, kidegen nworo munu, aba bunku kulutuk ku kujangarang mye, ati nani iso, a ni nani imonli.


eng: They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.

amo: Cikilari une nwandak nin lijii kiyitik, sa udu shantu kiti idi se nani idin ncaa, acin ane anan nmariari.


eng: As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him,

amo: Kubi na Yesu nsuna kikane, anan ninyerte nan na Farisiyawa ighana ghe, isu amusunanghe kitene nimon gbardang,


eng: lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.

amo: Nkukari nwori ikiffo ghe nanya tigbulang mye.


eng: When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.

amo: Na ligozi din pitiru anit gbardang, acizina ubellu, ko kuje, kuji magunta ri, idin piziru alama, na amon duku alenge na iba nii nani ba, se an Yunana.


eng: For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also be to this generation.

amo: Nafo na Yunana wa da so alama udu uniniva, nanere tutun gono nnit, ba so alama kiti nko kuje.


eng: He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

amo: Yesu woro nani, “ghari nanya mine dimun ndondon, amin ndo kiti mye nin kiyitik, a bellinghe, 'Udon nigh nei ure nakalan nfon gol atat,


eng: for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’

amo: umong udon nigh worin ndak unuzu ncin, na ndinin nile imon na nba nighe ba.'


eng: When Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city who had demons for a long time met him. He wore no clothes, and didn’t live in a house, but in the tombs.

amo: Kubi na Yesu yisina nbiu kurawa, a zuro nin nmong unan nilaza nanya kipine, nin dandaunu na adin nsho. Imon a sosin kilari ba, asosin nissek.


eng: When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torment me!”

amo: Na ayene Yesu ku, usu agilla adio nabunu mye, atah ntet kang, “Iyaghari udin piziru kiti nighe Yesu gono Kutelle? Inan kitene, ndin nfofi nacara yenje uwa fuuni ba.”


eng: For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.

amo: Yesu atta uruhu unazan ghe a nuzu nanya nnite, nkon kubi gbardang asa imone yiraghe. Inani sa itaghe inyang naccara nin nabunu, iceoghe unan ncaa, asa atasa inya ghe agbergenu wunnu ghe udi niti ninanzang.


eng: and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;

amo: Among awani alenga na iwa kalla nani Uruhu unanzan nan tikonu. Inughere, Maryamu ule na idin yicughe Magdaliya, Kitime iwa kalla ghe agbergenu kuzor.


eng: and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others who served them from their possessions.

amo: Yuwana uwanin Kuza, unan katuwa Hirdus, Suzana, nan namon awani gbardang, alenge na iwa buun nani nin nimon nacara mine.


eng: But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”

amo: Na Bitrus nyene nani adio nabunu Yesu anin din sughe, “Cacanah kupo nighe, bara na meng unan kulapari, Cikilari.”


eng: For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;

amo: Imone wa tighe Zikiki, ligowe nan nale na awadi nanghinu nin kifu nibowe ulenge na iwa yiru.


eng: But truly I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land.

amo: Kidegen meng di nbellu munu, awani alenge na ales mine wa kuzu wa diku gbardang kubon Iiya, kubi na kitene kani wa tursu, sa uwuru udu akus atat nin tipwui kutocin kubi na kukpon wandi vat kipine.


eng: Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

amo: Bara nani na iwa tuu Iliya ku kiti nmong nanya mine ba, bara cas udu kiti nmong uwani na ules mye na kuu, kupo kipin Sidon.


eng: and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother didn’t know it,

amo: Na iso, ayiri nbuke vat malla, izina ukpilizinu kilari, ame gone Yesu lawa kidung, nanyan Urushelima, na inung Ucife nin nnene wa yiru ba.


eng: but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.

amo: Inung dinsu nworu adi nanya ligo nanit, na iwa di nanghinu, isu ucin liri lirum, inin cizina upiziru ghe nanya likura nan nadondon.


eng: There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,

amo: Umong uwani unan nliru nin nnu Kutelle, lisa mye Anna ame wang wa duku, ame ushonon Fanuwel unuzu likuran Ashar, awa dinin mye nin nlesi akus kuzor cas,


eng: and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who didn’t depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day.

amo: a so nanya likulok uduru akus akut kulir nin na nas. Na a suna u picu kutiin nlira ba kitik nin liring, a suzu ukotu nayi nin lira.


eng: Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.

amo: Nkoni kube ada kiti mine a cizina ugodiya kiti Kutelle, asu uliru kitene ngone kiti nko gha, alenge na idin ncaa ntucu Urushelima.


eng: “Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;

amo: “Nene na kucin fe nya sheu, Cikilari, bara uliru ligbulang fe.


eng: for my eyes have seen your salvation,

amo: Bara iyizi nighe nyene utucu fe,


eng: which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;

amo: Ulenge na uwa keele nanya nyenju nanit vat.


eng: a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”

amo: Ame ba so nkanan bara upunu kidegen kiti nalumai, aba so ngongon nanit mye Isiraila.”


eng: When the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord

amo: Na ayiri linanu mye nmala, bara uduka Musa, Yusufu nin Maryamu damun kagone nanya kutyi nliran nurushelima, inakpa ghe kitin Cikilari.


eng: (as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),

amo: Nafo na inyerte di nanya duka Cikilari, “Ko kame gono nfari kilime iba yicu ghe ulau Ncikilari.”


eng: and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, “A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”

amo: Tutun iwa dak ida ni uhudaya bara uleli ubelle nanya nduka Ncikilari, “awullung abba sa atanta bara.”


eng: While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.

amo: Nene uduru kubi na iwadi kikane, kubi nmaru ngono da ghe.


eng: She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.

amo: Amara gono, kin pari mye, a tursu ghe nin kupori, a cio ghe kiti nlii nimonli nakam. Bara na kutyi wa duku ba, kilari namara.


eng: Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s city, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,

amo: Yusufu fita anuzu kipin Nazarat nanya Ngalili, acina udu Uyahudiya, kipin Baitalami, kanga na iyuru kinin kipin Dauda, bara ame wandi kuwunu unuzu likuran Dauda.


eng: to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.

amo: A doo kikane idi nyertin ghe nin Maryamu, ule na awa di kubura nilugma mye, iyita ncaa ngono.


eng: Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.

amo: Nene nanya nayiri a ne, kaisar Agustus yita tigo a nutuno uduka nworuu i nyertu tisa na nit vat na idi nanyan mmyin nRoma.


eng: This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.

amo: Ulelere kibatiza nfari na iwasu kubi na kiriniyas wandi ugumuna nSiriya.


eng: All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.

amo: Ko gha nya udu kagbir mye idi nyertu ghe bara kibatiza.


eng: Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,

amo: Nanya nayiri ane Maryamu tunna a fita dedeiughanu udu kipin, udu kang kagbiri nayan Yahudiya.


eng: and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.

amo: A pira nanya kilarin Zakariya a liso Alisabatu ku.


eng: He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,

amo: A ma yitu udya, i ma yicu lisa me Gonon Ngo Udya kitene kani. Kutelle Ucif ma nighe kutett tigo ncif me, Dauda.


eng: and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom.”

amo: A ma su tigo kitene nakuran Yakubu udu sa ligang, na kutii tigo me ma yitu nin nimalin ba.”


eng: Now while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his division

amo: Lon liyiri Zakariya wa di kiti katwa me kan ti priest mbun Kutelle.


eng: according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.

amo: A priest nanya nadu ale na imenen sue ifere Zakariya ku a piro nanya kutiin nlira Kutelle a juju uhadaya.


eng: Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,

amo: Anit gbardang wa mala unyertinu nadu adu na ana malu kulu nanya bit.


eng: even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,

amo: Alenge na iwa di iyizin yenju ucizunun burne ida so acin ligbulang, ida so acin ligbulang, ida belle arike ku.


eng: it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus;

amo: Nani, udu menku gigime wang nin feru nimoon dert oworu uburnu-nnan nyertine inin dert-udak kitin Theofilus unit ugigime.


eng: She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

amo: A gya adi bellin allenge na iwa di ninghe, kubi ko na iwa di tiyom nin kuculu.


eng: When they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they disbelieved.

amo: Ilanza adinin lai, nin wo amal fitu kiti me, na inungh wa yinin ba.


eng: They were saying among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?”

amo: Iwa din bellu natimine, “ghari ma turnu nari litala kibulun kiseke?”


eng: for it was very big. Looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back.

amo: Na iwa ghantin iyizi kitene kani, iyene umong in mal turnu kutale, kongo na kuwadi gbardang kang.


eng: Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.

amo: Bilatus lanza umamaki nworu Yisa mal ku; ayichila unan chawe atiringhe sa Yisa mal ku.


eng: When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

amo: Na awa lanza kitin na chawa Yisa nmal bku, a na Yusufu ku kidowe.


eng: When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

amo: Na kuleleng nta, bara lire wadi lirin kye kitiari, wati liri kafin lin na Sabat,


eng: Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for God’s Kingdom, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.

amo: Yusufu kunan Armatiya da kite, awa di umong udyawa nanya nanan kutï nlira, ulle na awadin cha ntollu kilari tigoh Kutelle. A tah ayi akone ado adi tiring kidowo Yisa kitin Bilatus.


eng: There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

amo: Among awani wang wa yisin npït idin yenjẹ. Nanya mine Maremu Magadaline, Maremu (unan Yakubu ubene nin Yoses), a Solomi.


eng: who, when he was in Galilee, followed him and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

amo: Kube na awadi in Galili iwa dofinghe isuzughe katah. Among awani gbardang wa da ninghe Urushalima.


eng: When the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

amo: Kubi kun tochin, kiti tinna kisirou vat udu ikoro in tir.


eng: At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is, being interpreted, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

amo: Nin fikoro fin tire Yisa tina ghatina liwui, “Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabatani?” Ulle na ukpliwe nworo, “Kutellẹ nin, Kutellẹ nin, inyagharin ta usuni?”


eng: With him they crucified two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left.

amo: Iwa kotinghe ligo nin nakiri a waba, uwarum nchara ulime, uwwarum nchara ugule.


eng: The Scripture was fulfilled which says, “He was counted with transgressors.”

amo: Ulire na iwa su nanya niyertẹ kullo ulenge na iwa bellinng (Imunughe ligowe na nan kulapi).


eng: Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.

amo: Ikotinghe kucha inin koso imon me isu maferu feru natimine kitene nimon me iyinin kome kusareri kogha mase.


eng: It was the third hour when they crucified him.

amo: Kubi nikoro itat nin kulelenghari iwa kotinghe.


eng: The superscription of his accusation was written over him: “THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

amo: I yertine kulap I tafaghe kuchẹ un bellu kulapi me, “UGOH NA YAHUDAWA.”


eng: Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”

amo: Bilatus kawa nanin a woro, “I dinin nsu nsun minu ugoh na Yahudawa?”


eng: For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.

amo: Awa yinin bara ivirari nta adidya kutin nlira da nin Yisa kitime.


eng: But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.

amo: Adidya kutin nlira tula ligozin nanite Ighantin tiwui ibellinghe idinin su ibunku nanin Barabasari ku.


eng: There was one called Barabbas, bound with his fellow insurgents, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.

amo: Nan nya nanan licinne among waduku anan firu nnun, nan nya nanan nfiru nune lisa nmong wa di Barabas.


eng: The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.

amo: Ligozin nanite da kitin Bilatus i woroghe a sü nani imonghe na amene nsue.


eng: As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,

amo: Bitrus da yita kadas kutyin nwucu nlira, nkon kubura nanya nanan katah ndya kutyi nlire da seghe.


eng: and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!”

amo: Ayene Bitrus ku din nlanzu nla atinna abelle, fewang una yita nin kunan Nazaret, Yisa.”


eng: They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.

amo: Ido nin Yisa ubon ndya kutyi nlira. Adidya kutyi nlira, Akune, nan nanan ninyerti vat da zuro nanghe.


eng: Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.

amo: Bitrus tinna adofighe na susut ba, udu duru kiti kutyi ndya nwucu nlire. A so ligowe nan nanan nca, na iwa din lanzu nla.


eng: Jesus answered them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?

amo: Yisa woro nanin, “Ida nafo ima kifu ukiri nin titang nan tiyop ida kifoiya?”


eng: I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”

amo: Na nwadi nan ghinu kolome liri, ndursuzu minu nanya kutin nlira, na ikifei ba. Idin su ile imone bara inyerti nan kullo.


eng: Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely.”

amo: Ulle na ama lewughe, namo unanin kulap, a belle, vat ulle na ngbindiringhe amere. Kifonghe anan techu natino nya ninghe.


eng: When he had come, immediately he came to him and said, “Rabbi! Rabbi!” and kissed him.

amo: Na Yahuda nda, atinna ada kitin Yisa, a woro, “Rabbi!” Anin gbindiringhe.


eng: He came the third time and said to them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

amo: Ada untat ada woro nani, “Idu nmoro nin shinuare? Batan nani! Kube nda. Yenen! Ima nakpu gonon nnit nan nya nachara nanan kulapi.


eng: Arise! Let’s get going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”

amo: Fitang ti gya. Yenen, ullenge na ama kifi anakpa ndaduru.


eng: He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.

amo: Yisa chillina udu ubun, a deu kutin anin tah nlira, asa uma chaunu ukalai kokube.


eng: He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.”

amo: A woro, “Abba, Uchif, imon vat nsuari kitife. Kalai kakkuk kane litinin, na nafo ubellu nin ba na unfe so.”


eng: It was now two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception and kill him.

amo: Uwa lawa ayiri abba isu ubukin Paska nin bukin Burodin salin yist. Adidya kutin nlira nin nanan ninyerte wa din kpilizu libau longo na iba kifi Yisa ku i molughe likire.


eng: For they said, “Not during the feast, because there might be a riot among the people.”

amo: I woro nenge, “Na wa ti wa kifoghe kitin buké ba, bara nnun wa fita nan nya nanite.”


eng: Watch therefore, for you don’t know when the lord of the house is coming—whether at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning;

amo: Bara nani sun ucha! Bara na iyiru kubi ko na Cikilare ma dak ba, sa nin dew nwui, sa nin kitik, sa nin kolusunu kukulok, sa nin kui dindin.


eng: lest, coming suddenly, he might find you sleeping.

amo: Awa da minu, na awa adah da se minu mmoro ba.


eng: Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ don’t believe it.

amo: Tutun asa umon mbellin minu, 'Yenen, Kristi ulle!' Sa, 'Yenen, aminii!' na iwa yinin ba.


eng: For false christs and false prophets will arise and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

amo: Bara an Kristi kinu nin na nan nliru nin nu Kutellẹ kinu ma nuzu ima dursuzu imon yenju nin ni mon nmamaki, inan wultuno anit Kutellẹ wang adin uso nani.


eng: Pray that your flight won’t be in the winter.

amo: Sun nlira na ile imone nwada kubi likus ba.


eng: For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

amo: Unieu udya ba yitu, i masu ilemon na anitin sa yenne ba, nworu na Kutellẹ wa kye uyẹh, udak nene, na isa su nani ba, å na iba kuru isu nani ba


eng: But about the dead, that they are raised, haven’t you read in the book of Moses about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

amo: Ubellen nanan kul na iwa fiya nani, na ina cisu iyizi niyerten Musa ba, inbeleng kukot, na Kutellẹ wa lirin ninghe, a woroghe 'Menghere Kutellẹn Ibrahim, Kutellẹ Ishaku nin Kutellẹ Yakub'?


eng: He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken.”

amo: Na ame Kutellẹ nanan kula-ari ba, kun nan laiyari. Anughe din ntazunu kang.”


eng: Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.

amo: Uwa uyisin nlira, ukifofi ushawa nin nimon inanzang ille na idi kibinaife nin mong, nanere ucif fe na adi kitene kane ma mashawu ni na lappi fe wang.


eng: But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.”

amo: “Assa na anu nshawa utazunu ulle na amonng din suzu minu ba, nanere wang ucif mine na adi kitenekane ma shawu nin mine utazune ba.”


eng: The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.

amo: Lirin nkurtunin nkuiye, na iwa sa unuzun in Baitanya, ku kpong daghe.


eng: Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

amo: A tọ iyizi adi yene kucha kupul nin tifa gbik, atinna ado adi yene sa a base kumat kucheku. Na'ada kiti kunin aseh ma affari cas, bara na kubi na pullere wa diba.


eng: Those who went in front and those who followed cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

amo: Alle na iwa diw mbun me nin nale na iwa din dortighe ighantina tiwui mine Hossana! Imari kitin inle na ada nanya lissan Cikilari.


eng: Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

amo: Unan mariari tigoh to na tidin cinu tin bit Dauda! Hossana uzazunu kitene kani!”


eng: But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant.

amo: Na uwa uso nani nanya mine ba vat ulle na atah ayi nworu aba so udya nanya mine na aso gono katuwa mine.


eng: Whoever of you wants to become first among you shall be bondservant of all.

amo: Vat ulle na adi nin nayin woro aba so unan bun mine na ayita kucin mine.


eng: Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News,

amo: Yisa woro nani kidegene nbelun munu na umon duku ulle na a cino kilari sa nuawana ni limi sa nishono sa unna sa uchif sa nono sa anen bara meng nin lirun lai so,


eng: but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time: houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land, with persecutions; and in the age to come eternal life.

amo: ulle na aba serru uwesu tinonto akalt likure kiteni nakalt likure nanyan nyulele, use nilari nwanna nilime nin nishono a una nin uchif nan Nanen nin niu nyi incindak ulai sa ligang.


eng: The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!

amo: Nono katuwa me nidowo mine wati cancam nin tigbulang me Yisa tutun kuru a belle nani nono nig ubayitu nin nijasi unan nimon nacara piru kilari tigoh Kutellẹ!


eng: It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”

amo: Ubayitu shiyau wang kurakomi se upiru ligalang nalura nun woru unan nimon nacara piru kilari i tigoh Kutellẹ.


eng: If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire,

amo: Assa ucharafe ba tifi utirro, werne unin uba katinifi nwoni use ulai Kutellẹ ninchara urum nin nworu upiru nlaah nin nacara aba nsali nbichu.


eng: ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’

amo: Kiti kanga na ajiji naburu mine ba bijuba, a ulamine ba bichu ba.


eng: He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,

amo: A yira Kagono kabene achiau ketik mine, a kuru a yira ka gone nin na chara me aworo nani.


eng: “Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”

amo: “Vat ule nge na a serre gono kibbene kane nanya lisanig, uso miyari aserei ule na aserre me nku na mere ku chas ba ninle nge na ana tuuyi.”


eng: He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”

amo: Idah kafarnahum kubi ko na awandi nanya kilari atirino nono katuwa me. “Uyapin uliruri ini yita nsue libau we?”


eng: But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.

amo: Nin nani itunna imino tuk ini yita manyardang nati mine libau we nnanya woru ghari baso udia nanya mine.


eng: Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

amo: Yisa woroghe “Andi uba yinnua? Ko iyapin imon insuari kitin nle na ayinna nin kibinai me.”


eng: Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”

amo: Na nin nmolu kubi ba ucifin gone ghantina liwui kuchullu aworo “Inyinna! Buni nanya ninsalin nyinnu nighe.


eng: He said to them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?

amo: Aworo nani nanere Iliya na burun dak, anan kele imon vat. Iyari ntah iina nyertin gonon nit ba nieu nanya nmon gwardang anit tutun banin narrighe?


eng: But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.”

amo: Meng woro munu Illiya nadak inani wa sughe ille imon na wa dinin su we nafo na ina nyertu na bellin kitene me.”


eng: Peter answered Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

amo: Bitrus kauwa aworo Yisa ku, Cikilari a unan yiru, uchaunari na tidi kikane, Na ti kẹ adanga atat ti kẹ feku kurum, kurum bara Musa a kurum kun Iliya”.


eng: For he didn’t know what to say, for they were very afraid.

amo: Na Bitrus wadi asa mala imon ille na adi belle ba, fiu kiffo nono katuwa yisa vat.


eng: Having eyes, don’t you see? Having ears, don’t you hear? Don’t you remember?

amo: Idi nin nizi, na idin yenju ba? Idinin natuf na idin lanzu ba? na i lizino ba?


eng: When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They told him, “Twelve.”

amo: Nan nwa kosu anit amoiyi ataun akallang nborodi a taun a ngisin na kuzun acecek amashin nari iwa pitiru an borode?” I woro ghe, “Likure nin na ba.”


eng: They ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

amo: Ileu ishito. I pitiro ingisin nimonlẹ, i kullo akuzun kuzur.


eng: Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.

amo: Anite waduru amui anass kikane. Yisa nin cino nani i gya.


eng: He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the multitude.

amo: A ta ligozin na nite i sozọ kutin a sere a kallang kuzore. Na ata inlira, a pucu akallanghe ana nono kata me i koso ligozin nanite.


eng: They also had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.

amo: Iwa din nin nagir niboa, tutun na atta nlira ku, akuru ana nono katame i koso.


eng: For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.

amo: Na nin dandaunu umong uwani na kashune wadi nin nagbergenu uwani une lanza ubeleng Yisa adah ada deu na bunun me.


eng: Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.

amo: Uwani une ushono hẹllen iyawa ri unuzu surofinikiya, a fuu ye acara anutun agbergene nanyan shune me.


eng: He said, “That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.

amo: A woro, “Imon irika na idin nuchu daga nanya nit usurneri din nanzughe.


eng: For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,

amo: Bara nan nya kibinayin nit usurneri, makpilizu-kpilizun magunta din nuchu ku, unozu nin nin nawani sa nalililme, likiri, umolsu nanit,


eng: covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.

amo: unozu nin wani nilugma sa gakilime nilugma, kunannizi, umagunta, usali kidegen, usu nlazun mang, tinanayi nin linbu nmong, ufiu liti, tilalang.


eng: All these evil things come from within and defile the man.”

amo: Vat nimon magunta ilele din nuchu nan nya liburin nitari, inare din nanzu unit.


eng: He said to them, “Are you also without understanding? Don’t you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can’t defile him,

amo: ''Anung wang dunani sa uyinnue? Na anung yene nwo vat nimon ile na ipira unit unuzun ndas na inare din nanzughe ba,


eng: because it doesn’t go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, making all foods clean?”

amo: bara na iwaya ipira nan nya kibinayi ba, asa ipira nan nya liburu me, idi tolu itunna idi nuzu kitin tin das (npunju).''


eng: There is nothing from outside of the man that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.

amo: Na imon nnuzun dasari irika na idin pichu nan nya kidowong nit din nanzughe ba. Imon irika na idin nuchu nan nya nutere din nanzughe.


eng: If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”

amo: Vat urika na adinin natuf nlanzun liru na alanza.''


eng: But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban,”’” that is to say, given to God,

amo: Anughe kuru iworo, ''Asa unit belle uchif me sa aname, vat ubunu urika na usere kiti nin kobaghari,'' (wati nworu, 'imon nni Kutlellẹri) -


eng: “then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,

amo: na asa iyinna asu uchifi me sa uname katwa ba.


eng: Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.

amo: A farisawa so kiti kirum ligowe na Yisa, nan nadidye nyiru niyerte na iwa dak unuzun Urushalima.


eng: Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is unwashed, hands, they found fault.

amo: Ba iyene among nan nya nono katwa me ili nimonli nin dinong nachara mine, wati na iwa kusu achara ba.


eng: (For the Pharisees and all the Jews don’t eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders.

amo: (Bara na inung a Farisawa nan na Yahudawa vat, na idin li imonli ba se ikusu achara lau; na idin su avu nin kani kite ba, bara iwa seru nani kiti nakune minerẹ.


eng: They don’t eat when they come from the marketplace unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.)

amo: Andi a Farisawa nsa unuzun kasau, na asa ileo imonli ba se isulsuna. Tutung ti duka di nani ku gbardang to na idin dorte nin likara, nafo ukuzu tikop, ameleng, asu-nishik, umunu kitin lisosin linimolẹ wang.)


eng: but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;

amo: Na iyene nchin kitenen kurawe, itunnan su au nmọleri i ta ntẹt,


eng: for they all saw him and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them and said to them, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”

amo: bara na iwa iyeneghe, fiu kifo nani kang. Ame tunna ata deidei alirina nan ghinu aworo, ''Tan ayi akone! Mẹri di! Na iwa lanza fiu ba.''


eng: He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass.

amo: A ta anitẹ vat iso abut-abut kitenen kpi ushifi.


eng: They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.

amo: Na isọ abute; among akalt akalt, among akut a taun-taun.


eng: King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, “John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”

amo: Ugoh Hirdus lanza nani, bara na lisan Yisa wa nuzu kanang. Among yitang du au Yuhana unan sun Mbaptismari ina fyaghe nan nya kisek, bara nanere nta wang adin suzu matiza likara.''


eng: But others said, “He is Elijah.” Others said, “He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets.”

amo: Among mine woro, ''Iliyari di'.'' Among tutung woro au ''Unang kadura Nnu Kutellẹ ari, nafo umong nan nya kaduran nnu Kutellẹ na awadi nanan burnu.''


eng: But Herod, when he heard this, said, “This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead.”

amo: Na Hiridus nlanza nani aworo ''Yuhana na nwan kalaghe liti inan fyaghe.''


eng: For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her.

amo: Ame Hiriduse litime, wa ti ikifo Yuhana ku a tereghe nan nya kilari lichin, bara Hiriduya uwanni gwaname Filibus na awa nutu asu ilugma mun.


eng: For John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”

amo: Bara na Yuhane wa bellin Hiridus ku, ''Na uchau nan nya duka uyaun uwannin gwanafine usu ilugma mun ba.''


eng: Herodias set herself against him and desired to kill him, but she couldn’t,

amo: Ame Hiriduya ta tinanayi kitenen lirun Yuhana, atunna a pizira umolughe. Ama na ase libau ba,


eng: for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.

amo: bara na Hiridus wa din lanzu fiun Yuhanẹ, bara ayiru Yuhana unan lanzun fiu Kutellẹri nin chin ukanang, unere ta Hiriduse gyesheghe bara imoi imon wa seghe. Kube na awa lanza uwazin Yuhana, asa fyaghe kibinayi, vat nanẹ, ata ayi abọ nin lanzun nlirun Yuhana.


eng: Then a convenient day came when Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.

amo: Na lirin nda na Hiriduya nsẹ kubi kongo na aba su imon kibinayi me, abata gai lirin kulu nayiri kumantin, Hiridus asu likanju limang bara Agoh nyi, Agoh likum nan nadidyan Galili, bara liburi libọ lirin maru me.


eng: When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, “Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”

amo: Ushonon Hiriduya da ada su avu nbun mine, ata Hiridus ku nin namara me lanza nmang. Ugoh tunna aworo kuburẹ, ''vat nimon ilenge na udinin suwẹ, tirini nma nifi ining''


eng: He swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.”

amo: A siloghe aworo, vat nimon ile na utirini, nba nifi, adi ma yitu udu kiyitik nayi tigo ning.''


eng: She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” She said, “The head of John the Baptizer.”

amo: A nuzu udas adi woro nname, ''Iyaghari imba tiringhe?'' Unẹ woroghe ''Litin Yuhana unan sun baptisma.''


eng: She came in immediately with haste to the king and requested, “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptizer on a platter.”

amo: A kpila mass udu nan nya kudarẹ kitin gohwe a woroghe, Ndinin su uni nene litin Yuhana unan sun baptisma nan nya kishik.''


eng: The king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths and of his dinner guests, he didn’t wish to refuse her.

amo: Imone tunna ita Ugohwẹ yototo, ama bara isilingme nin namara a didyawe, na ayinno unari nimone na kuburen tirino ba.


eng: Immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard and commanded to bring John’s head; and he went and beheaded him in the prison,

amo: Ugohwẹ tunna a tọ nkong kusoja nan nya nanan cha nin liru likara a dọ adi kala litin Yuhana a dak mun. Unan chawẹ do adi werin litin Yuhana nan nya kilari lichine.


eng: and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young lady; and the young lady gave it to her mother.

amo: A da nin litẹ na kishik ada na kubure, ame kubure na unamẹ.


eng: When his disciples heard this, they came and took up his corpse and laid it in a tomb.

amo: Nin lanzu nani, anan katwa me da ida yauna libẹ idi kasu.


eng: He called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits.

amo: A yichila nono katwa me likure nin nan waba, a tonani inung nababa, a nani likara kitene tiruhohi tinanzang,


eng: He commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse,

amo: a ta nani ligan na iwa yiru imomon ba se ucan ncin. Na iwa yiru imonli sa nka likura, sa ikurfung najip mine ba,


eng: but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics.

amo: ima shonu akpatak nabunu mine, ba nin nalutuk aba.


eng: He said to them, “Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.

amo: A woro nani ''Asa ipira kilari, iso ku udu lirin gyu mine.


eng: Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them. Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”

amo: Andi nkan kiti nnari useru munu, sa inari ulanzu munu, asa iba gyu kitẹ, ikotino lidau nabunu mine kitẹ, unan so imon bellu nati mine,'' Ndin belu minu kidegen, Usodom nin Gomora ma katunu nin lanzu nmang liri nshara nin kagbiri kane.


eng: When the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things?” and, “What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands?

amo: Na liri na Sabbath nda, adursuzo nani nan nya kutin nlira. Indya nanit ale na iwa lanzaghe fiu kifo nani. Iworo, ''Nweri ana se ule udursuze ku?'' Uyapin uyirari ulele na Kutellẹ na nighe? ''Kayapin katwa fiu wari kane adin su nin nachara me?''


eng: Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James, Joses, Judah, and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” So they were offended at him.

amo: Na unan kisẹ kanere ulele, usaun Maremu, gwanan Yakubu nin Joses, a Yahuda nin Simon ba?''


eng: He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

amo: Na awa yinnin umon nan nya nanite dofinghe ba, ma Bitrus nin Yakubu, a Yuhana gwanan Yakubu.


eng: He came to the synagogue ruler’s house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.

amo: Ipira nan nya kilarin nnan bun kuti nlire. Yisa yene ubunkurunu kiti, anite nin di kuculu nin kalzun ntẹt.


eng: having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothes.

amo: Alanza ubelleg Yisa. A tunna a kyio kimal me achina nan nya ligozine adudo kubaga kulutuk me.


eng: For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well.”

amo: Aworo na kibinayi me, “Inwa dudo kubaga kulutuk me chas, nba shinu.”


eng: and crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don’t torment me.”

amo: Ajarta nin liwui lidya, “Iyanghari nba su ninfi, Yisa, Gono Kutellẹ Kudindya? Umunu nin Kutellẹ yenje uwa tï nneo.”


eng: For he said to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”

amo: Bara na Yisa wa din bellughe “Nuzu nya kidowon nnit ulele, fë uruhu unanzang”


eng: When he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met him out of the tombs.

amo: Nin nuzun Yisa nan nya zirgin nmyene, umong unit nin ruhu unangzang zuro ninnghe. Unite wa nuzu nan nya nisek.


eng: He lived in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even with chains,

amo: Unite wa sosin nan nya nisek. na umong wa duku ule na awasa a kifoghe ba, ma ining woro iterughe nin nyang.


eng: because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Nobody had the strength to tame him.

amo: Iwa sö ntechughe ayiri gbardang nin ni nyang nan tiseleng nabunu me. Vat nani asa a tacha inyanghe umunu tiselenghe ku. Na umong wa dutu ku nin likara nworu aterughe ba.


eng: Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.

amo: Ko kame kitik nin lirin nan nya nisek nin nakup, asa tiza ntèt ayilizuno abasa kidowo me nin natala apapat.


eng: A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.

amo: Fiyilili nin funu udya tunna ufita nan nya kurawẹ, tikara nmyen tunnan pichu nan nya zirge utunna ulentina ukulu nin nmyen.


eng: He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and asked him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are dying?”

amo: Ame Yisa wana din nmoro nan nya kadasi nzirge. Itunna ifyghe inin din sughe nenge, “Unan dursuzu nanit, tiba ku nan nya zirgi ulele afe nmora?”


eng: He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you; and more will be given to you who hear.

amo: Aworo nani, “Dinan atuf nimon ile na idin lanzu, kuyangi ko na uguro mun, kunnare iba guru fi mun ukuru use gbardang wang.


eng: For whoever has, to him more will be given; and he who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.”

amo: Bara vat nle na adinin nimon iba kpinghe ku, ulenge na asalimun, kitime ima seru ilenge na adimun wang.”


eng: Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.

amo: Imong imus disso kupanbaran, bara usalin nmyin, imuse nuzu deidei, bara na nmyine wa di tendeleng.


eng: When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

amo: Kube na uwui wa ghana, bara na nmyine wadi tendeleng kutyiene pya itunna ikoto.


eng: He answered them, “Who are my mother and my brothers?”

amo: A kpana aworo nani, “A yaghari a nanighe nan nuananighe?”


eng: Looking around at those who sat around him, he said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!

amo: A yenje anite na isosin na iwa kilinghe, a woro, “yenen alele re an nanigh nan nuana nighe!”


eng: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter);

eng: and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. Then he came into a house.

eng: He appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them out to preach

amo: A fere likure nin nan waba (ale na awa ninani lisa, nono kadura), bara inan so nin ghe ligowe anan tuzo nani udun di sun wazi,


eng: and to have authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons:

amo: inan se likaran nnutuzunu na gbergenu.


eng: The unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him and cried, “You are the Son of God!”

amo: Kubi ko na anan na gbergenu wa yeneghe, nò kutein nbun me nin kuchulu, iworo, “Fe Gono Kutellẹri.”


eng: He sternly warned them that they should not make him known.

amo: A kpada ani kang nin likara yeje iwa tinani anit yinighe.


eng: He spoke to his disciples that a little boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they wouldn’t press on him.

amo: A woro nanan katwa me iceo uzirgin nmyene susut, bara ligozi nanite wa pardizughe kang, bari gbardang mine, iwa masin nafo ima turunghe.


eng: For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases pressed on him that they might touch him.

amo: Ashino nin nanit kang, gbardang nale na iwa di nin tikonu ngangang wa din shò nati nwo ise ududughe.


eng: Jesus withdrew to the sea with his disciples; and a great multitude followed him from Galilee, from Judea,

amo: Yisa tunna a gya nin nono katwa me udu kurawa. Ligozin nanit gbardang dofino unuzun nan nya Galili nin Yahudiya,


eng: from Jerusalem, from Idumaea, beyond the Jordan, and those from around Tyre and Sidon. A great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came to him.

amo: nin nuzun nan nya Urushalima, Idumiya udu duru nbun urdun udu kusarin Tayar nin Sidon. Ligozin nanit lanza vat imon ile na awa din sue, itunna ida kitime.


eng: He said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good or to do harm? To save a life or to kill?” But they were silent.

amo: A nin woro nanite, ''uchau nworu isu katwa ma gegeme liri na Sabbathe sa kananzang; isun ulaiya sa imolu?'' Itunna iso tik.


eng: When he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored as healthy as the other.

amo: A gitirno ayenje nani vat nin tinanayi, bari ngbas nibinayi mine, aworon nnite, “Nakpa uchara fe.” A nakpa unin Yisa tunna akurtuno uni uchine.


eng: He said to them, “Did you never read what David did when he had need and was hungry—he, and those who were with him?

amo: A woro nani, ''Na anung na gbin nan nya niyerte ba, imon ile na Dauda nin nanit me wasu na kukpon wa nani ba?


eng: How he entered into God’s house at the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?”

amo: Na awa piru nan nya kilari Kutellẹ kubi kongo na Abiyatha wadi UPriest udya, aleo ufungal ulau ule na uduka nworo na umong wasa aleo se a Priest cas; akuru ana ale na iwadi ligowe nin ghe?''


eng: Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts?

amo: Yisa tunna ayinno imon ile na iwa din kpiluzue nibinayi mine, a woro nani, ''inyaghari nta idin kpiluzu nile imone nibinayi mine?


eng: Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?’

amo: Uyeme ma katini nin nworo, 'Nkusu alapi fe' sa 'Nworo fita yira imon linoni fe ugya'?


eng: He strictly warned him and immediately sent him out,

amo: Yisa kpadaghe nin likara anin nutughe mass a gya.


eng: and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”

amo: A woroghe “yenje uwa bellin umong unit, can udi durso litife kitin Priest ngma, udi ni mong ilenge a Musa na woro inuzu bara ukusu litife, inan so usheda kiti mine.”


eng: John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.

amo: Na Yuhana wa dak, awadi nshintu nanit mmyen nan nya ntene a yita kagbaran nbeleng chinu lidu linazang nin sen kusu nalapi.


eng: All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.

amo: Kipin Yahudiya vat nan nanitin Urshalima nuzu udu kiti me. Vat mine ishitino nani mmyen nacharame nya kurawan Yahudiya, arika na iwa bellu alapi mine.

amo: Yuhana wa su kuyok nin kukpan nsup kuronkomi, a kutino me wa terin nin belt kukpa, imoli me wa di aching nin titong kusho.


eng: The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

eng: the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord! Make his paths straight!’”

eng: As the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

amo: Nafo na ayirin Nuhu wadi, nanere ma yitu udak Nsaun Nnit.


eng: For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship,

amo: Nafo aleli ayirin kulu nmyen inye wa dutu sa udak iwa din li iso, ipilla awani a iniza a shono mine nilugma udi duru lire na Nuhu wa piru uzirge,


eng: and they didn’t know until the flood came and took them all away, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

eng: “Then if any man tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There!’ don’t believe it.

eng: For false christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

amo: Anan kinuu nKristi nin nanan liru nin nuu Kutelle kinuu ma dak isu imon fiu izikiki gbardang, iwultun anit libau, umunu wang alenge na imal ferui nani.


eng: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and as a pretense you make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.

amo: Kash anughe, anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, anan rusuzu nati, anung ntursu kipin tigo Kutelle kiti nanit, na anung ati mine npira ba, a na iyinna ale na idinin su pire, ipuru ba.


eng: “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don’t enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.

amo: Kash anung, anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, anan rusuzu nati, idin bolusu nalari nawani ale na ales mine na kuzu, inani din dursuzu ati mine kiti nlirag mijangarang bara nani iba seru uca nkul udia.


eng: When they came near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

amo: Na Yisa nin nono katwa me nda duru susut nin urshalima ida U Baitfayi, kusari likup Nzaitan, Yisa tunna a to nono katwa me naba,


eng: saying to them, “Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.

amo: a belle nani, “Can nan nya kagbiri nbune, ima yenu kajaki terin ku, nin gono kajake ku. bunkun ninin ida nei ni ning.

eng: When he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.

amo: Kubi ka na awa acizina kibatize, ida nin nkon kucin me ulle na ame din dortughe titalent amui likure.


eng: See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

amo: Anite vat leo ishitizo. Ipitirino agissin niburi nimonle na ileo, ikulo akuzun kuzor.


eng: Those who ate were four thousand men, in addition to women and children.

amo: Alenge na iwa li wadi amui anas banin nawani nin nono.


eng: For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.

eng: For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

amo: Bara Yohanna wa belinghe, “Na uma caunu ba uyiru ghenafo uwani fe.”


eng: So it will be in the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous,

amo: Nanere uma yitu nin nayiri nimalin inyii. Nono kadura Kutelle ma dak ida feru anan katwa kananzaghe nanya na nan katwa kacine.


eng: and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

eng: For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

eng: Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

eng: “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord.

amo: Na gono unan masu wasa akata unan dursuzu me ba, sa kucin yita nbun Cikilari me.


eng: It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!

amo: Ubatina ame unan mase so nafo unan dursuzu me, nanere kucin nafo Cikilari me, iwa yicila Cikilare Belzubal, ma ngbardang nanzu nale na idi nanya kilari me ma yitu nyizari!


eng: Into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go on.

amo: Vat kagbiri sa atii alenge na ipira, pizira ulenge na ado Kutelle nanye, isoku udu lilongo na ima nyiu.


eng: As you enter into the household, greet it.

amo: Asa idin piru nanya kilare, lisonnani.


eng: Don’t take any gold, silver, or brass in your money belts.

amo: Na iwa yiru fizinariya, azurfa sa fi jangaci tika mine ba.


eng: Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.

amo: Yenjen iwa yaun nkan cin bara ucin mine, sa altuk aba, sa akpata, sa ucan ncin, bara unan katwa ma diru imonli me ba.


eng: “Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in by it.

amo: Pira nya kibulun kishuute, libau di pash na li din wunu anit udu ukul, anit gbardang din cinu nyan nye.

amo: In yan ghari taa uyene kamong na ka di liyizin gbana fine, na uyene ku kunti kuca nya liyizi fe ba?


eng: Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ and behold, the beam is in your own eye?

amo: In yiziyari uba bellu gbana fine, 'Nan kala kamong nya liyizi fe,' a fee nin kukunti kuca nya liyizife?


eng: You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.

amo: Anun anan kinuu! Kalan ku kunti ku ce nya niyizi mine, iba nin yenu kanang kamong ne nya niyizin gbana mine.


eng: Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin,

eng: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal;

amo: Na ceun ati mine utamani kitine kani, kiti ka na kijiji nin biju wasa inaza ba, kiti kanga na akiri wasa ipuro ituzuzu ba.


eng: Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,

amo: Ulirue u ni wa kulo vilengwe na iwa bellin kitin Irimiya unan liru nin nuuKutellẹ.

eng: When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.

amo: Na iyene fiyinie, isu ayi abo nin liburi libo kang.


eng: Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

amo: Vat nilele wase bara inan kulo imon ile na Cikilari wa belli nnu nanan liru nin nu me, a woro.


eng: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
