¹And having called to [him] his twelve disciples, he gave them power over unclean spirits, so that they should cast them out, and heal every disease and every bodily weakness.

¹ Yesu na nga talibi* way cindi hinka ce nga do k'i no hina kaŋ ga follayyaŋ gaaray ka dirandi, i ma jante da gaaham baani-jaŋay kulu dumi no baani.

²Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother;

² Diya* way cindi hinka din maayey neeya: sintina day Siman kaŋ se i ga ne Bitros, da Andarawos kaŋ ga ti a kayne; Yakuba Zabadi ize da nga kayne Yohanna;

³Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, who was surnamed Thaddaeus;

³ Filibos da Bartalami; Toma da Matta, jangal taakwa; Yakuba Halfa ize da Taddawus;

⁴Simon the Cananaean, and Judas the Iscariote, who also delivered him up.

⁴ Siman Kanaana bora da Yahuta Kariyoti bora, kaŋ na Yesu amaana ŋwa.

⁵These twelve Jesus sent out when he had charged them, saying, Go not off into [the] way of [the] nations, and into a city of Samaritans enter ye not;

⁵ Boro way cindi hinka wo binde, Yesu n'i donton k'i lordi ka ne: «Araŋ ma si dumi cindey fondey gana. Araŋ ma si furo mo Samariyancey* kwaarey ra.

⁶but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

⁶ Day wa koy Israyla izey kaŋ yaŋ ga ti feeji darantey do.

⁷And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.

⁷ Araŋ diraw ra mo, araŋ ma waazu ka ne: ‹Beene koytara maan.›

⁸Heal [the] infirm, [raise the dead], cleanse lepers, cast out demons: ye have received gratuitously, give gratuitously.

⁸ Araŋ ma doorikomey no baani. Araŋ ma buukoy mo tunandi. Araŋ ma jirayey hanandi. Araŋ ma follayey gaaray. Nooyaŋ no araŋ du, araŋ mo ma no gomni.

⁹Do not provide yourselves with gold, or silver, or brass, for your belts,

⁹ Araŋ ma si nooru jare, wura wala nzarfu wala guuru-ciray araŋ guddama ra.

¹⁰nor scrip for the way, nor two body coats, nor sandals, nor a staff: for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.

¹⁰ Araŋ ma si hindoonay foolo jare mo araŋ diraw se, wala kwaay hinka, wala taamu, wala goobu, zama goy-teeri ga hima ka du nga alhakko.

¹¹But into whatsoever city or village ye enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there remain till ye go forth.

¹¹ Kwaara nda kawye kulu kaŋ ra araŋ furo mo, wa ceeci boro kaŋ gonda Adam-izetaray. Araŋ ma zumbu a gaa kala han kaŋ hane araŋ ga dira.

¹²And as ye enter into a house salute it.

¹² D'araŋ ga ba ka furo windi ra mo, araŋ m'a salam.

¹³And if the house indeed be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

¹³ Da windo ya cimi wane no, araŋ salam ma goro a boŋ. Da mo manti cimi wane, naanayo ma ye ka kaa araŋ do.

¹⁴And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

¹⁴ Boro kulu kaŋ si araŋ kubayni, a wangu mo ka hangan araŋ sanney se, waati kaŋ araŋ ga fatta windo wala kwaara din ra, kal araŋ ma kusa kaŋ go araŋ cey gaa din kokobe.

¹⁵Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in judgment-day than for that city.

¹⁵ Haciika ay ga ne araŋ se: Ciito hane Saduma* da Gomorata* laabu day ga du rongome ka bisa kwaara din.

¹⁶Behold, *I* send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be therefore prudent as the serpents, and guileless as the doves.

¹⁶ Wa guna, ay g'araŋ donton sanda feejiyaŋ sakaliyaŋ* game ra. Araŋ ma ciya carmaykomyaŋ sanda gondi, baanikomyaŋ mo sanda koloŋay.

¹⁷But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to sanhedrims, and scourge you in their synagogues;

¹⁷ Araŋ ma haggoy da borey, zama i g'araŋ nooyandi marga ciiti borey se, i diina marga fuwey ra mo i g'araŋ barzu.

¹⁸and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.

¹⁸ I ga konda araŋ laabu koyey da bonkooni beerey jine, zama araŋ ma seeda no i jine da dumi* cindey kulu mo se.

¹⁹But when they deliver you up, be not careful how or what ye shall speak; for it shall be given to you in that hour what ye shall speak.

¹⁹ Amma waati kaŋ i g'araŋ nooyandi, araŋ laakal ma si tun da sanni kaŋ araŋ ga tu d'a, wala mo haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga ci. Zama saaya din ra no i g'araŋ no haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga ci.

²⁰For *ye* are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in you.

²⁰ Zama manti araŋ no ga salaŋ bo. Araŋ Baabo Biya, nga no ga salaŋ araŋ meyey ra.

²¹But brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents and shall put them to death;

²¹ Amma nya-ize ga nga nya-izo no i m'a wi, baaba mo ga nga izo no. Izey mo ga murte hayrey gaa k'i daŋ kambe i m'i wi se.

²²and ye shall be hated of all on account of my name. But he that has endured to [the] end, *he* shall be saved.

²² Araŋ ga ciya konnari hari mo ndunnya dumey kulu do ay maa sabbay se. Amma boro kaŋ ga hin suuru hala bananta, nga no ga du faaba.

²³But when they persecute you in this city, flee to the other; for verily I say to you, Ye shall not have completed the cities of Israel until the Son of man be come.

²³ Day, waati kaŋ i g'araŋ gurzugandi kwaara woone ra, araŋ ma zuru ka koy afa kaŋ ga maan din do. Zama haciika ay ga ne araŋ se: za araŋ mana Israyla* izey kwaarey kulu gana ka ban, kulu Boro Izo ga kaa.

²⁴The disciple is not above his teacher, nor the bondman above his lord.

²⁴ Talibi si bisa nga alfaga bo, tam mo si bisa nga koyo.

²⁵[It is] sufficient for the disciple that he should become as his teacher, and the bondman as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more those of his household?

²⁵ Oho, a wasa day talibi se a ma ciya danga nga alfaga cine, tam mo danga nga koyo cine. Zama hala day i ne windikoy se Baalzabula*, sanku fa a windo borey!

²⁶Fear them not therefore; for there is nothing covered which shall not be revealed, and secret which shall not be known.

²⁶ Araŋ ma si humburu bo, zama hay kulu si no daabante kaŋ i s'a feeri. Hay kulu si no mo tugante kaŋ i si aniya ka bay a gaa.

²⁷What I say to you in darkness speak in the light, and what ye hear in the ear preach upon the houses.

²⁷ Haŋ kaŋ ay ci araŋ se kubay ra, araŋ ma woodin ci kaari ra. Haŋ kaŋ araŋ maa ciinay ra mo, araŋ m'a fe da jinde beeri fuwey boŋ.

²⁸And be not afraid of those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but fear rather him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

²⁸ Woodin banda mo, araŋ ma si humburu borey kaŋ yaŋ ga gaaham wi, amma i si hin ka biya* wi. Amma a ga hima araŋ ma humburu nga kaŋ ga hin ka biya nda gaaham kulu halaci danji* bango ra.

²⁹Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall to the ground without your Father;

²⁹ Manti i ga sasa hinka neera dala fo? Baa afo mo si kaŋ kala day araŋ Baabo yaddayaŋ ra.

³⁰but of you even the hairs of the head are all numbered.

³⁰ Amma i n'araŋ boŋ hamney kulu kabu.

³¹Fear not therefore; *ye* are better than many sparrows.

³¹ Araŋ ma si humburu bo, zama araŋ bisa sasa boobo darza.

³²Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, *I* also will confess him before my Father who is in [the] heavens.

³² Boro kulu binde kaŋ g'ay seeda borey jine, ay mo g'a seeda ay Baabo kaŋ go beena ra jine.

³³But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will *I* also deny before my Father who is in [the] heavens.

³³ Amma boro kulu kaŋ g'ay ze borey jine, ay mo g'a ze ay Baabo kaŋ go beena ra jine.

³⁴Do not think that I have come to send peace upon the earth: I have not come to send peace, but a sword.

³⁴ Wa si tammahã hala baani no ay kaa ka daŋ ndunnya ra bo. Ay mana kaa ka baani daŋ fa, amma takuba.

³⁵For I have come to set a man at variance with his father, and the daughter with her mother, and the daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law;

³⁵ Ay kaa no zama ay ma ‹boro nda nga baaba kubandi i ma gaaba nda care, ize way da nga nya, da ize aru wande nda nga anzuray waybora.

³⁶and they of his household [shall be] a man's enemies.

³⁶ Boro windi borey mo no ga ciya boro se ibarey.›

³⁷He who loves father or mother above me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter above me is not worthy of me.

³⁷ Boro kaŋ ga ba baaba wala nya ka bisa ay mana to a ma ciya ay wane. Wala mo, boro kaŋ ga ba ize aru wala ize way ka bisa ay mana to a ma ciya ay wane.

³⁸And he who does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.

³⁸ Boro kaŋ si nga kanjiyaŋ* bundo sambu k'ay gana mo, a mana to a ma ciya ay wane.

³⁹He that finds his life shall lose it, and he who has lost his life for my sake shall find it.

³⁹ Boro kaŋ ga nga fundo haggoy, a fundo ga daray. Boro kaŋ ga nga fundo nooyandi ay wo sabbay se, a g'a hallasi.

⁴⁰He that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him that sent me.

⁴⁰ Boro kaŋ n'araŋ ta, a n'ay ta. Boro kaŋ n'ay ta mo, a na nga kaŋ n'ay donton ta.

⁴¹He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward.

⁴¹ Boro kaŋ ga annabi ta annabi maa ra, annabi alhakku no a ga du. Boro kaŋ ga boro adili ta boro adili maa ra mo, adilante* alhakku no a ga du.

⁴²And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold [water] only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

⁴² Boro kaŋ ga ikayney wo ra afo no hari yeeno gullayze fo hinne a m'a haŋ zama ay talibi no, haciika ay ga ne araŋ se, a si jaŋ nga alhakko baa kayna.»
