¹Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him literally, “before his face” into every city and place, where he was about to come.

¹⁵And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? thou shalt be brought down unto Hades.

¹⁹ Guna, ay n'araŋ no dabari araŋ ma gondiyaŋ da daŋyaŋ taamu, araŋ ma ibare dabaro kulu may mo. Hay kulu si no kaŋ g'araŋ maray.

¹⁹Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.

²¹In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.”

²¹ Saaya din ra a farhã Biya _Hanna|_ ra ka ne: «Ya Baaba, beene nda ganda Koyo, ay ga saabu ni se, zama ni na hayey din tugu laakalkooniyaŋ da fahamantey se, k'i bangandi zankey se. Oho, ya Baaba, zama yaadin no ga kaan ni se.

²²Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.”

²² Ay Baaba na hay kulu daŋ ay kambe ra. Boro kulu si bay boro kaŋ no ga ti Izo kala day Baabo, wala mo i si bay boro kaŋ no ga ti Baabo kala day Izo nda boro kulu mo kaŋ se Izo miila nga m'a bangandi.»

²⁴ for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.”

²⁴ Zama ay ga ci araŋ se: annabi boobo da koy boobo bini ngey ma di haŋ kaŋ araŋ goono ga di, amma i mana di a, i ma maa haŋ kaŋ araŋ goono ga maa, amma i mana maa mo.»

²⁴for I say unto you, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.

²⁶And he said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

²⁷He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; Deuteronomy 6:5 and your neighbor as yourself.” Leviticus 19:18

²⁷ Bora tu ka ne «Kala ‹ni ma ba Rabbi ni Irikoyo da ni bina kulu, da ni fundo kulu, da ni gaabo kulu, da ni laakalo kulu mo.› Woodin banda, ‹ni ma ba ni gorokasin danga ni boŋ cine.› »

³⁵ A suba mo a na jirbi hinka sufuray kaa ka no yaw fu koyo se ka ne: ‹Ni m'a saajaw. Hay kulu kaŋ ni ga wi ka bisa yaadin, d'ay ye ka kaa, kulu ay ga ni bana.›
