Luke 6

6 ¹For one Sabbath day, Jesus dey waka pass inside grain farm; im disciple dem pluck di head of di grain, rub am for dia hand, come chop am. ²Some of di Pharisee dem talk say, “Wetin make una dey do wetin law no gree make person do for Sabbath day?”

³Jesus answer dem say, “Una neva read wetin David do wen hunger catch am and di people wey dey with am, ⁴how e enter di house of our Papa, take di bread wey dem put for our Papa front, chop am, come give some to di people wey dey with am, even though na only di priest dem law gree make chop am?” ⁵Den e talk give dem say, “Di Pikin of Man na Oga of di Sabbath.”

⁶For anoda Sabbath day e enter di synagogue come dey teach; one man wey im right hand don wither dey dia. ⁷Di scribe dem and di Pharisee dem dey watch am well well, to see whether e go heal person for Sabbath day, so dat dem fit find sometin to take accuse am.

⁸But since e sabi wetin dey dia mind, e tell di man wey im hand wither, “Stand up come stand for here.” So e stand up come stand dia. ⁹Den Jesus talk give dem say, “I dey ask una: which one law gree for Sabbath day—to do good or to do bad, to save life or to spoil am?” ¹⁰E look round for all of dem, come tell di man, “Stretch out your hand.” E do am, and im hand come better finish.

¹¹But vex full dia body, and dem begin dey discuss with each oda wetin dem go do to Jesus.

Him Choose di Twelve Apostle

¹²For dose days Jesus comot go di mountain go pray, and e spend di whole night dey pray to our Papa. ¹³Wen day break, e call im disciple dem, come choose twelve of dem, and e call dem apostle: ¹⁴Simon, wey e name Peter, and im broda Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew; ¹⁵Matthew and Thomas; James pikin of Alphaeus, and Simon wey dem dey call di Zealot; ¹⁶Judas pikin of James, and Judas Iscariot, wey come turn traitor.

Our Papa Power Heal di Crowd Dem

¹⁷E come down with dem come stand for one level place, with plenty of im disciple dem and a big crowd of people wey comot from all Judea, Jerusalem, and di coast of Tyre and Sidon. ¹⁸Dem come to hear am and to make e heal dem from dia sickness; and di ones wey unclean spirit dey worry, dem too come well. ¹⁹Di whole crowd dey try touch am, because power dey comot from am, dey heal everybody.

²⁰E look up for im disciple dem, come talk say: “Blessing dey for una wey poor, because di kingdom of our Papa na una own.

²¹“Blessing dey for una wey hunger dey catch now, because una belle go full. Blessing dey for una wey dey cry now, because una go laugh. ²²Blessing dey for una wen people hate una, and wen dem push una comot and yab una and throway una name as bad tin, because of di Pikin of Man. ²³Rejoice for dat day come jump for joy, because your reward big for heaven; because na so di persecutor dem papa-papa treat di prophet dem.

²⁴But sorry-o for una wey rich, because una don already collect una comfort. ²⁵Sorry-o for una wey belle full now, because hunger go catch una. Sorry-o for una wey dey laugh now, because una go mourn come dey cry. ²⁶Sorry-o for una wen everybody dey praise una, because na so di flatterer dem papa-papa treat di false prophet dem.

Love Una Enemy

²⁷But I dey tell una wey dey listen: love una enemy, do good to di ones wey hate una, ²⁸bless di ones wey dey curse una, pray for di ones wey dey do una bad. ²⁹Whoever slap you for one cheek, turn di oda one too give am; whoever collect your coat, no hold back your shirt. ³⁰Give everybody wey ask you, and no demand back wetin dem take from you. ³¹Do to oda people di same tin wey you want make dem do to you.

³²To love di ones wey love you—wetin be di credit for dat? Even sinner dem dey love di ones wey love dem. ³³If you do good to di ones wey dey do you good, wetin be di credit for you? Even sinner dem dey do di same tin. ³⁴And if you borrow person money dey expect say dem go pay you back, wetin be di credit for dat? Even sinner dem dey lend to sinner so dat dem go collect di same amount back. ³⁵But love una enemy, do good, and lend dey expect notin back; your reward go big, and una go be children of di Most High, because e dey kind to di ungrateful and di wicked. ³⁶Show mercy, just as your Papa dey show mercy.

No Judge Person

³⁷No judge person, and dem no go judge you. No condemn person, and dem no go condemn you. Forgive, and dem go forgive you. ³⁸Give, and dem go give you: good measure—dem press am down, shake am, make e dey overflow—dem go pour am inside your lap. Because di measure wey you take go be di same measure wey dem go take measure back give you.”

³⁹E give dem parable too say: “Person wey blind fit lead person wey blind? No be di two of dem go fall inside pit? ⁴⁰No student pass im teacher; but whoever learn finish go come be like im teacher. ⁴¹Wetin make you dey see di small dust for your broda eye, but you no see di big beam wey dey your own eye? ⁴²How you fit tell your broda say, ‘My broda, make I comot di small dust from your eye,’ wen you no see di big beam wey dey your own eye? You be hypocrite! First comot di beam from your own eye—den you go see clear to comot di small dust from your broda eye.

Dem Go Know You By Your Fruit

⁴³Because no good tree dey bear bad fruit, and no bad tree dey bear good fruit. ⁴⁴Dem dey know every tree by im own fruit; dem no dey pluck fig from thorn bush, and dem no dey pick grape from bramble. ⁴⁵Good person dey bring out good tin from di good store wey dey im heart; and wicked person dey bring out bad tin from di bad store; because na wetin full di heart, na im di mouth dey talk.

Build For Ontop di Rock

⁴⁶Wetin make una dey call me ‘Oga, Oga,’ but una no dey do wetin I talk? ⁴⁷Everybody wey come to me, dey hear my words, and dey do dem—I go show una wetin e resemble: ⁴⁸E be like man wey dey build house, wey dig deep come lay im foundation ontop rock. Wen flood come, di river bang against dat house but e no fit shake am—because dem build am well. ⁴⁹But whoever hear my words but no do dem, e be like man wey build house ontop di ground, without foundation. Di flood bang against am, and one time e fall down finish—and di crash of dat house na big-big wan.”
