The Thing Dem Da Luke Write
9 Then he call the 12 apostles together and give them power to move demons from in people and to heal all kindna sickness. 2 And he send them to go preach about God Kingdom and to heal people, 3 and he tell them say: “Yor mon not carry anything for the trip. Yor mon not carry walking stick, food bag, bread, money or two clothes. 4 But any house you enter, stay there until you ready to go. 5 And anywhere people not welcome you, when you leaving from da city, knock your foot so the dirt can move from under it to show da you na warn them.” 6 Then they travel, from village to village, preaching the good news and healing people.
7 And Herod* who wor ruling da area, hear about everything da wor happening. And he wor really confuse because some people wor saying da John na come back to life. 8 But other people wor saying da E·li′jah na come back. And still some other people wor saying da one of the prophet dem from way back na come back to life. 9 Herod say: “I cut off John head. So, who this person I hearing all this thing dem about?” So he wor trying to see him.
10 When the apostle dem came back, they tell Jesus all the thing dem they na do. Then he carry them, and they enter one city they call Beth·sa′i·da to be by theirself. 11 But the people got to know about it and follow him. And he welcome them and started to teach the people about God Kingdom, and he heal the people dem who wor sick. 12 Then when it wor late in the evening, the 12 apostles came to him and tell him say: “Tell the people to go so they can go on the farms and in the village dem around here to find place to sleep, and to get food because nobody living here.” 13 But he tell them say: “Yor give them something to eat.” They tell him say: “We not get anything beside five bread and two fish, unless maybe we ourself go buy food for all this people dem.” 14 In fact, about 5,000 men wor there. So he tell his disciple dem say: “Tell them to sit down in groups, about 50 person in each group.” 15 And they do it and make all the people to sit down. 16 Then he take the five bread and the two fish, and he look up to heaven and he pray over it. Then he break it and started giving it to his disciple dem so they can give it to the people. 17 So all the people eat and they wor satisfy. And the disciple dem collect the one dem da leftover. It full up 12 baskets.
18 Later on, when he wor praying by hisself, his disciple dem came to him, and he ask them: “Wetin the people saying about me?” 19 They tell him say: “Some people say you John the Baptist, but other people say you E·li′jah, and still other people say, you one of the prophet dem from way back who na come back to life.” 20 Then he ask them: “How about yor? What yor think about me? Then Peter say: “Da you the Christ God send.” 21 So, he give them strong warning to not tell anybody about it, 22 but he tell them say: “The elders, the chief priests and the scribes will not accept the Son of man. And they will really suffer him and kill him, and on the third day, God will bring him back to life.”
23 Then he started telling all of them say: “If anybody want follow me, let him deny hisself and pick up his torture stake* and carry it every day and continue to follow me. 24 Because anybody who want save his life,* will lose it, but anybody who lose his life for my business, da the person who will get it back. 25 To talk the truth, what benefit somebody will get if they get the whole world, and hurt theirself or lose their life? 26 Because anybody who will be shame because of me and the thing dem I say, the Son of man will also be shame to accept him when he come in his glory and in the glory of his father and in the glory of the holy angels. 27 To tell yor the truth, some of yor who standing here will not die until yor see God Kingdom ruling first.”
28 In fact, about eight days after Jesus finish saying this thing dem, he carry Peter, John and James, and they climb one mountain to pray. 29 And when he wor praying, his face change and his clothes turn white and it wor shining. 30 And two men dem wor talking with him. Da wor Moses and E·li′jah. 31 So bright light wor around them and they start talking about how Jesus will leave the world, and how it will soon happen in Jerusalem. 32 Da time sleep wor using Peter and the other two disciple dem. But when they come to theirself, they saw the bright light around Jesus and the two men dem da wor standing with him. 33 And when the two men dem wor leaving Jesus, Peter tell him say: “Teacher, it alright for us to be here. So let build three tents, one for you, one for Moses and one for E·li′jah.” But he never knew what he wor saying. 34 But when he wor saying this thing dem, the cloud came and cover them. When the cloud cover them, they got scary. 35 Then they hear one voice from the cloud. The voice say: “Da my Son here, the one who I na choose. Yor listen to him.” 36 When they hear the voice, they saw da Jesus wor by hisself. But they not say anything, and they not tell anybody about what they saw da time.
37 The next day when they came down from the mountain, plenty people came to him. 38 One man from among the people shout with loud voice and say: “Teacher, I beg you help my son, because da my only son. 39 And demon can enter him and right away he can start shouting. It can make him to be jerking and foam can start coming from in his mouth. Even when it finish hurting him, it can’t want move from inside him. 40 I beg your disciple dem to move it from in him, but they wor not able to do it.” 41 Then Jesus tell them say: “This sinful generation da not get faith, how long I mon stay with yor for yor to get faith and continue to bear with yor? Bring your son here.” 42 But even when the boy wor coming to him, the demon throw him on the ground and start making him to jerk bad way. But Jesus order the demons to move from inside him, and he heal the boy and give him back to his pa. 43 And all of them wor really surprise because of the power God get.
When all of them mouth wor full because of the thing dem he wor doing, he tell his disciple dem say: 44 “Yor listen good-good and remember what I telling yor, because somebody will sell the Son of man to his enemy dem.” 45 But they not understand what he wor telling them. In fact, they never understand the meaning of the thing dem Jesus wor saying. And they wor scare to ask him about what he wor saying.
46 Then they started arguing among theirself about who wor more important pass their friend. 47 When Jesus got to know what wor in their hearts, he take one small child, and bring the child near him. 48 He tell them say: “Anybody who welcome people da just like this small child because of my name, already na welcome me too. And anybody who welcome me na also welcome the person who send me. Because the person who bring hisself down among all of yor, da the person who important.”
49 John tell him say: “Teacher, we saw one man using your name to move demons from in people. We try to stop him because he not following us.” 50 But Jesus tell him say: “Don’t try to stop him because anybody who not against you, they on your side.”
51 When the time wor getting near for him to go to heaven, he makeup his mind to go to Jerusalem. 52 So he send messenger dem in front. And they went and enter one village da in Sa·mar′ia so da they can prepare things for him. 53 But the people not welcome him, because they got to know da he na makeup his mind to go to Jerusalem. 54 When the disciples James and John saw this one, they say: “Lord, you want us to tell fire to come down from heaven to destroy dem?” 55 But he turn around and give them strong counsel. 56 And Jesus and his disciple dem went to different village.
57 So when they wor on the road going, somebody tell him say: “I will follow you anywhere you go.” 58 But Jesus tell him say: “The fox dem get their hole to live in, and the bird dem get their nests, but the Son of man not get any place for hisself to sleep.” 59 Then he tell one man say: “Come be my disciple.” The man tell him say: “Lord, please let me go bury my pa first.” 60 But Jesus tell him say: “Let those who na die, bury their people who die. But go and preach everywhere about God Kingdom.” 61 But still another man tell him say: “Lord, I will follow you, but first allow me to tell the people dem in my house bye-bye.” 62 Jesus tell him say: “Anybody who start digging to plant, and look at the thing dem behind not fit to enter God Kingdom.”
