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.
After this, the Master appointed seventy-two other disciples, and sent them on as his messengers, two and two, in advance, to every town and place that he was himself intending to visit.
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.
“The harvest,” he said, “is abundant, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray to the owner of the harvest to send laborers to gather in his harvest.
3 Mi toh yi, hi na mri krju ni mi meme in'ma miji.
Now, go. Remember, I am sending you out as my messengers like lambs among wolves.
4 Na ban nbu nklen na, ko mbu nklonna, ko lagban zan na, na chi ndrjo ni nkon na.
Do not take a purse with you, or a bag, or sandals; and do not stop to greet anyone on your journey.
5 Du ikoh wa bi ri'a, bika guci tre du si suron du he ni koh yi!
Whatever house you go to stay at, begin by praying for a blessing on it.
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.
Then, if anyone there is deserving of a blessing, your blessing will rest on him; but if not, it will come back on yourselves.
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.
Remain at that same house, and eat and drink whatever they offer you; for the worker is worth their wages. Do not keep changing from one house to another.
8 Du gbu wa bi ri, ide ba kpa yi, bi ri ndi sokpe wa ba no yi,
Whatever town you visit, if the people welcome you, eat what is set before you;
9 Be no bi lilo si. Di hla ni bawu ndi, ivi u ye Irji a tie whewhre.
cure the sick there, and tell people that the kingdom of God is close at hand.
10 Du gbu wa bi ri, u bana kpa yi na, bi ka rju hi ni nkon,
But, whatever town you go to visit, if the people do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say
11 Di tre ko wru zah mbi, ki se sruni yuu. Bi ka toh ndi iye Irji tie whewhre.
‘We wipe off the dust of your town which has clung to Our feet; still, be assured that the kingdom of God is close at Hand.’
12 Mi hla ni yiwu ni vi kima u ye, ani he ni ya ni gbu kima zan Sodom.
I tell you that the doom of Sodom will be more bearable on that day than the doom of 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.
Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! For, if the miracles which have been done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have sat in sackcloth and ashes and repented long ago.
14 Chachu bla tre ani bini Sidon mbaTyre.
Yet the doom of Tyre and Sidon will be more bearable at the judgment than yours.
And you, Capernaum! Will you exalt yourself to heaven? You will be flung down to Hades. (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.
Anyone who listens to you is listening to me, and anyone who rejects you is rejecting me; while the person who rejects me is rejecting him who sent me as his messenger.”
17 Wlon nkpu tangba ba k'ma ye ni kinkla suron, nda ni tre Bachi, Ibrji me ba kujoku nitawu nimi nde me.
When the seventy-two returned, they exclaimed joyfully, “Master, even the demons submit to us when we use your name.”
18 Yesu ka tre mi si ya Ibrji a joku rji ni shu na kpan.
And Jesus replied, “I have had visions of Satan, fallen, like lightning from the heavens.
19 Toh mi no yi gbengblen du yi chan iwan baba ilan, nitu bi gbengblen bi kra ta.
Remember, I have given you the power to trample on snakes and scorpions, and to meet all the strength of the Enemy. Nothing will ever harm you in any way.
20 Na ngyiri ndi ibrji ba joku ni yiwu na, ngyiri ndi ba nha inde mbi ni shulu.
Yet do not rejoice in the fact that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names have been enrolled 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.
At that same time, moved to exultation by the Holy Spirit, Jesus said: “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that, though you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, you have revealed them to the childlike! Yes, Father, I thank you that this has seemed good to you.
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.
Everything has been committed to me by my Father; nor does anyone know who the Son is, except the Father, or who the Father is, except the Son and those to whom the Son may choose to 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.
Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said to them alone, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you are seeing;
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 tell you, many prophets and kings wished for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never 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)
Just then a student of the Law came forward to test Jesus further. “Teacher,” he said, “what must I do if I am to gain eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
“What is said in the Law?” answered Jesus. “What do you read there?”
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.
His reply was – “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as you love yourself.”
28 Yesu ka hla inde wu tie naki, u tie njanji u wuna kyu na.
“You have answered right,” said Jesus, “Do that, and you will live.”
29 Mala ani sun si tuma cuwo nda tre Yesu, Ahi nha hi indji u ka hlan mu?
But the man, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
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.
To which Jesus replied, “A man was once going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him of everything, and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead.
31 Se ga bi ton du Irji ye toh nda zuni kosan nda hi kpama.
As it chanced, a priest was going down by that road. He saw the man, but passed by on the opposite side.
32 Se ga balawi aye nda toh nda gon zu ni kosan nda hi kpama ngame.
A Levite, too, did the same; he came up to the spot, but, when he saw the man, passed by on the opposite side.
33 Se ga Basamariye aye nda kukri nda ya indji'a a loh suron.
But a Samaritan, traveling that way, came upon the man, and, when he saw him, he 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.
He went to him and bound up his wounds, dressing them with oil and wine, and then put him on his own mule, and 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.
The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Take care of him,’ he said, ‘and whatever more you may spend I will myself repay you on my way back.’
36 Ni mi ndji tra biyi, ahi nha hi ndji u kutra kalah ma?
Now which, do you think, of these three men,” asked Jesus, “proved himself a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?”
37 Se mala ka tre indji wa tsro loh suron, I Yesu ka tre hi ndi tie naki.
“The one that took pity on him,” was the answer; at which Jesus said, “Go and do the same yourself.”
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.
As they continued their journey, Jesus came to a village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him to 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.
She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Master’s feet, and listened to his teaching;
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 distracted by the many preparations that she was making. So she went up to Jesus and said, “Master, do you approve of my sister’s leaving me to make preparations alone? Tell her to help me.”
41 Bachi ka tre Mata, Mata wu yo kpi gbugbu'u ni ko shishi me,
“Martha, Martha,” replied the Master, “you are anxious and trouble yourself about many things;
42 ama kpe riri Maryamu a chu kpe ndindi ma, ba ndji'a wa ani sran wu kpa.
but only a few are necessary, or rather one. Mary has chosen the good part, and it will not be taken away from her.”
