Luke 10
1 Ni kle kima, Bachi a chu ndji tangba nda ton ba ni hi ha duba hi ni gbu ni gbu wa ndi wawu me ni hi niki.
Now after these things, the Lord made selection of seventy others and sent them before him, two together, into every town and place where he himself was about to come.
2 Wa a hla ni bawu, ichan a gbugbu'u, in bi tie du'a ba fi me, bre Irji ndi dubi tie ndu'a ye.
And he said to them, There is much grain ready to be cut, but not enough workers: so make prayer to the Lord of the grain-fields that he will send workers to get in the grain.
3 Mi toh yi, hi na mri krju ni mi meme in'ma miji.
Go on your way: see, I send you out like lambs among wolves.
4 Na ban nbu nklen na, ko mbu nklonna, ko lagban zan na, na chi ndrjo ni nkon na.
Take no bag for money or for food, and no shoes; say no word to any man on the way.
5 Du ikoh wa bi ri'a, bika guci tre du si suron du he ni koh yi!
And whenever you go into a house, first say, Peace be to this house.
6 Idan ni koh yi, inde ndji “U sun si suron a he ni mi, si suron ka son ni nituma. Idan ana he si suron bi ka huye ye kpambi.
And if a son of peace is there, your peace will be with him: but if not, it will come back to you again.
7 Bi son ni koh wa ba kpa yi, bi rie ndi so kpe wa ba no yi'a, don ndji wu titu ani kpa ya ma, Na hu ni koh ni koh na.
And keep in that same house, taking what food and drink they give you: for the worker has a right to his reward. Do not go from house to house.
8 Du gbu wa bi ri, ide ba kpa yi, bi ri ndi sokpe wa ba no yi,
And into whatever town you go, if they take you in, take whatever food is given to you:
9 Be no bi lilo si. Di hla ni bawu ndi, ivi u ye Irji a tie whewhre.
And make well those in it who are ill and say to them, The kingdom of God is near to you.
10 Du gbu wa bi ri, u bana kpa yi na, bi ka rju hi ni nkon,
But if you go into a town where they will not have you, go out into the streets of it and say,
11 Di tre ko wru zah mbi, ki se sruni yuu. Bi ka toh ndi iye Irji tie whewhre.
Even the dust of your town, which is on our feet, we put off as a witness against you; but be certain of this, that the kingdom of God is near.
12 Mi hla ni yiwu ni vi kima u ye, ani he ni ya ni gbu kima zan Sodom.
I say to you, It will be better in that day for Sodom than for that town.
13 Iyame Korazin, iya me Betseida, da iri kikle du a ba tie ni Tyre mba Sidon, bana kpa Irji ni sen mu, da ta sru gbanjan nklon nda son nitoh lu.
A curse is on you, Chorazin! A curse is on you, Beth-saida! For if such works of power had been done in Tyre and Sidon as have been done in you, they would have been turned from their sins, in days gone by, seated in the dust.
14 Chachu bla tre ani bini Sidon mbaTyre.
But it will be better for Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judging, than for you.
And you, Capernaum, were you not lifted up to heaven? you will go down to hell. (Hadēs g86)
16 Indji wa awo yi, a wohme kena, indji wa a kama ni yi'a, a kama ni me wa mi ton yi.
Whoever gives ear to you, gives ear to me; and whoever is against you, is against me; and whoever is against me, is against him who sent me.
17 Wlon nkpu tangba ba k'ma ye ni kinkla suron, nda ni tre Bachi, Ibrji me ba kujoku nitawu nimi nde me.
And the seventy came back with joy, saying, Lord, even the evil spirits are under our power in your name.
18 Yesu ka tre mi si ya Ibrji a joku rji ni shu na kpan.
And he said, I was watching for Satan, falling from heaven like a star.
19 Toh mi no yi gbengblen du yi chan iwan baba ilan, nitu bi gbengblen bi kra ta.
See, I have given you power to put your feet on snakes and evil beasts, and over all the strength of him who is against you: and nothing will do you damage.
20 Na ngyiri ndi ibrji ba joku ni yiwu na, ngyiri ndi ba nha inde mbi ni shulu.
Do not be glad, however, because you have power over spirits, but because your names are recorded in heaven.
21 Ni nton kima'a a grji ni Ruhu ndindi, nda tre, Me zu inde me Timbu Bachi ni shu, ni u gbungblu, don u wru kpi bi hle ni bi wandi ba bu shishi nda to ndi, di tsro bi wa bana hla ni bawu na, na mri bi klekle, abi ni shishi tie mu.
In that same hour he was full of joy in the Holy Spirit and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children: for so, O Father, it was pleasing in your eyes.
22 Tie mu a vu kpi ba wawu sru mu niwoh, ba ndji wa a toh Vren'a, se Iti ma, ba ndji wa a toh Iti'a se Vren'a, wandi Ivren a kpanyime nda ni tsro Ti'a.
All things have been given to me by my Father: and no one has knowledge of the Son, but only the Father: and of the Father, but only the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.
23 A kma hi ni mri koma ni ka grji ba, nda tre bi wa ba tie lulu yo ni bawu'a nda toh kpe wa bisi tie'a.
And, turning to the disciples, he said privately, Happy are the eyes which see the things you see:
24 Bi tie ndu Irji baba bi chu gbugbu ba ndi ba toh kpe wa ndi bi si toh, “u” bana toh na. Ba ndi ba woh kpe wandi bisi woh, bana woh na.
For I say to you that numbers of prophets and kings have had a desire to see the things which you see, and have not seen them, and to have knowledge of the things which have come to your ears, and they had it not.
25 Se mala ri u bla tre ni Yahudawa kaye tsra u, nda tre mala, me tie ngye miti mi ni kpa re u tuntrun? (aiōnios g166)
And a certain teacher of the law got up and put him to the test, saying, Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
And he said to him, What does the law say, in your reading of it?
27 Wa a kasa nda tre gbigbi wuka sun Bachi Irji ni suron me wawu, ni drime, ni gbengblen me wawuu, ni mre me wawu, wuka son indji u kutra ka hlan me na time.
And he, answering, said, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and for your neighbour as for yourself.
28 Yesu ka hla inde wu tie naki, u tie njanji u wuna kyu na.
And he said, You have given the right answer: do this and you will have life.
29 Mala ani sun si tuma cuwo nda tre Yesu, Ahi nha hi indji u ka hlan mu?
But he, desiring to put himself in the right, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 Wa a tre ndi a rji ni Wurushelima nda ni hi Yariko. Da ka ku ni wo bi y'bi, u ba kpa wawu kpie wa ndi a nji'a, nda tsi'u, wa tie whre u kyu baka don wu.
And Jesus, answering him, said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he got into the hands of thieves, who took his clothing and gave him cruel blows, and when they went away, he was half dead.
31 Se ga bi ton du Irji ye toh nda zuni kosan nda hi kpama.
And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he went by on the other side.
32 Se ga balawi aye nda toh nda gon zu ni kosan nda hi kpama ngame.
And in the same way, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, went by on the other side.
33 Se ga Basamariye aye nda kukri nda ya indji'a a loh suron.
But a certain man of Samaria, journeying that way, came where he was, and when he saw him, he was moved with pity for him,
34 Aye nda ngla kpa niwu, nda gban nye niwu, nda loh kpa niwu, nda ban sa ni nhma ma, nda nji u ni bubu u kru.
And came to him and put clean linen round his wounds, with oil and wine; and he put him on his beast and took him to a house and took care of him.
35 U mble kpan no nkle, wandi bata ya indji wu lilo'a nda tre, to nklen'a a kleh, mi ye nowu mbru ma.
And the day after he took two pennies and gave them to the owner of the house and said, Take care of him; and if this money is not enough, when I come again I will give you whatever more is needed.
36 Ni mi ndji tra biyi, ahi nha hi ndji u kutra kalah ma?
Which of these three men, in your opinion, was neighbour to the man who came into the hands of thieves?
37 Se mala ka tre indji wa tsro loh suron, I Yesu ka tre hi ndi tie naki.
And he said, The one who had mercy on him. And Jesus said, Go and do the same.
38 Da ba si he nimi zren nda ye rini mi vi gburi, u wari bo yo'u ndi Mata a kpa'u ni koh ma ni woh ha.
Now, while they were on their way, he came to a certain town; and a woman named Martha took him into her house.
39 Ahe ni vayi ma, bata yo'u ndi Maryamu, wa ndi a son ni zah Bachi nda si woh kpe wa ndi asi tre'a.
And she had a sister, by name Mary, who took her seat at the Lord's feet and gave attention to his words.
40 Mata si sron biri, “u” wawu Mata a ye ni Yesu nda tre Bachi wu na toh yada vayi mu a kame don misi tie ndu'a kanklen mu na? Hla niwu du ye zo me.
But Martha had her hands full of the work of the house, and she came to him and said, Lord, is it nothing to you that my sister has let me do all the work? Say to her that she is to give me some help.
41 Bachi ka tre Mata, Mata wu yo kpi gbugbu'u ni ko shishi me,
But the Lord, answering, said to her, Martha, Martha, you are full of care and troubled about such a number of things:
42 ama kpe riri Maryamu a chu kpe ndindi ma, ba ndji'a wa ani sran wu kpa.
Little is needed, or even one thing only: for Mary has taken that good part, which will not be taken away from her.
