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.
And after these things the Lord appointed also other seventy-two: and he sent them two and two before his face into every city and place whither he himself was 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: The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send labourers into his harvest.
3 Mi toh yi, hi na mri krju ni mi meme in'ma miji.
Go: Behold I send you as lambs among wolves.
4 Na ban nbu nklen na, ko mbu nklonna, ko lagban zan na, na chi ndrjo ni nkon na.
Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way.
5 Du ikoh wa bi ri'a, bika guci tre du si suron du he ni koh yi!
Into whatsoever house you enter, 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 the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you.
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 in the same house, remain, eating and drinking such things as they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house.
8 Du gbu wa bi ri, ide ba kpa yi, bi ri ndi sokpe wa ba no yi,
And into what city soever you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.
9 Be no bi lilo si. Di hla ni bawu ndi, ivi u ye Irji a tie whewhre.
And heal the sick that are therein, and say to them: The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
10 Du gbu wa bi ri, u bana kpa yi na, bi ka rju hi ni nkon,
But into whatsoever city you enter, and they receive you not, going forth into the streets thereof, say:
11 Di tre ko wru zah mbi, ki se sruni yuu. Bi ka toh ndi iye Irji tie whewhre.
Even the very dust of your city that cleaveth to us, we wipe off against you. Yet know this, that the kingdom of God is at hand.
12 Mi hla ni yiwu ni vi kima u ye, ani he ni ya ni gbu kima zan Sodom.
I say to you, it shall be more tolerable at that day for Sodom, than for that city.
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.
Woe to thee, Corozain, woe to thee, Bethsaida. For if in Tyre and Sidon had been wrought the mighty works that have been wrought in you, they would have done penance long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 Chachu bla tre ani bini Sidon mbaTyre.
But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgement, than for you.
And thou, Capharnaum, which art exalted unto heaven, thou shalt be thrust 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.
He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that 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-two returned with joy, saying: Lord, the devils also are subject to us in thy name.
18 Yesu ka tre mi si ya Ibrji a joku rji ni shu na kpan.
And he said to them: I saw Satan like lightening falling from heaven.
19 Toh mi no yi gbengblen du yi chan iwan baba ilan, nitu bi gbengblen bi kra ta.
Behold, I have given you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall hurt you.
20 Na ngyiri ndi ibrji ba joku ni yiwu na, ngyiri ndi ba nha inde mbi ni shulu.
But yet rejoice not in this, that spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice in this, that your names are written 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 rejoiced in the Holy Ghost, and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to little ones. Yea, Father, for so it hath seemed good in thy sight.
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 are delivered to me by my Father; and no one knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and to whom the Son will reveal him.
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 his disciples, he said: Blessed are the eyes that see the things which 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 many prophets and kings have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things that you hear, and have not heard them.
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 behold a certain lawyer stood up, tempting him, and saying, Master, what must I do to possess eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
But he said to him: What is written in the law? how readest thou?
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.
He answering, said: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind: and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 Yesu ka hla inde wu tie naki, u tie njanji u wuna kyu na.
And he said to him: Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
29 Mala ani sun si tuma cuwo nda tre Yesu, Ahi nha hi indji u ka hlan mu?
But he willing to justify himself, 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, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped him, and having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead.
31 Se ga bi ton du Irji ye toh nda zuni kosan nda hi kpama.
And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the same way: and seeing him, passed by.
32 Se ga balawi aye nda toh nda gon zu ni kosan nda hi kpama ngame.
In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by.
33 Se ga Basamariye aye nda kukri nda ya indji'a a loh suron.
But a certain Samaritan being on his journey, came near him; and seeing him, was moved with compassion.
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 going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine: and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn, 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 next day he took out two pence, and gave to the host, and said: Take care of him; and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above, I, at my return, will repay thee.
36 Ni mi ndji tra biyi, ahi nha hi ndji u kutra kalah ma?
Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbour to him that fell among the robbers?
37 Se mala ka tre indji wa tsro loh suron, I Yesu ka tre hi ndi tie naki.
But he said: He that shewed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou in like manner.
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 it came to pass as they went, that he entered into a certain town: and a certain woman named Martha, received 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 called Mary, who sitting also at the Lord’s feet, heard his word.
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 was busy about much serving. Who stood and said: Lord, hast thou no care that my sister hath left me alone to serve? speak to her therefore, that she help me.
41 Bachi ka tre Mata, Mata wu yo kpi gbugbu'u ni ko shishi me,
And the Lord answering, said to her: Martha, Martha, thou art careful, and art troubled about many things:
42 ama kpe riri Maryamu a chu kpe ndindi ma, ba ndji'a wa ani sran wu kpa.
But one thing is necessary. Mary hath chosen the best part, which shall not be taken away from her.
