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 Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them before Him, by twos, to go to every town or place which He Himself intended 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.
And He addressed them thus: "The harvest is abundant, but the reapers are few: therefore entreat the Owner of the harvest to send out more reapers into His fields. And now go.
3 Mi toh yi, hi na mri krju ni mi meme in'ma miji.
Remember that I am sending you out as lambs into the midst of wolves.
4 Na ban nbu nklen na, ko mbu nklonna, ko lagban zan na, na chi ndrjo ni nkon na.
Carry no purse, bag, nor change of shoes; and salute no one on your way."
5 Du ikoh wa bi ri'a, bika guci tre du si suron du he ni koh yi!
"Whatever 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 there is a lover of peace there, your peace shall rest upon it; otherwise come back upon 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 that same house stay, eating and drinking at their table; for the labourer deserves his wages. Do not move from one house to another.
8 Du gbu wa bi ri, ide ba kpa yi, bi ri ndi sokpe wa ba no yi,
"And whatever town you come to and they receive you, eat what they put before you.
9 Be no bi lilo si. Di hla ni bawu ndi, ivi u ye Irji a tie whewhre.
Cure the sick in that town, and tell them, "'The Kingdom of God is now at your door.'
10 Du gbu wa bi ri, u bana kpa yi na, bi ka rju hi ni nkon,
"But whatever town you come to and they will not receive you, go out into the broader streets and say,
11 Di tre ko wru zah mbi, ki se sruni yuu. Bi ka toh ndi iye Irji tie whewhre.
"'The very dust of your town that hangs about us we wipe off as a protest. Only be sure of this, 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 it will be more endurable for Sodom on the great day 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.
"Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! For had the miracles been performed in Tyre and Sidon which have been performed in you, long ere now they would have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 Chachu bla tre ani bini Sidon mbaTyre.
However, for Tyre and Sidon it will be more endurable at the Judgement than for you.
And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be lifted high as Heaven? Thou shalt be driven down as low as 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.
"He who listens to you listens to me; and he who disregards you disregards me, and he who disregards me disregards 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.
When the Seventy returned, they exclaimed joyfully, "Master, even the demons submit to us when we utter your name."
18 Yesu ka tre mi si ya Ibrji a joku rji ni shu na kpan.
"I saw Satan fall like a lightning-flash out of Heaven," He replied.
19 Toh mi no yi gbengblen du yi chan iwan baba ilan, nitu bi gbengblen bi kra ta.
"I have given you power to tread serpents and scorpions underfoot, and to trample on all the power of the Enemy; and in no case shall anything do you harm.
20 Na ngyiri ndi ibrji ba joku ni yiwu na, ngyiri ndi ba nha inde mbi ni shulu.
Nevertheless rejoice not at this, that the spirits submit to you; but rejoice that your names are registered 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.
On that same occasion Jesus was filled by the Holy Spirit with rapturous joy. "I give Thee fervent thanks," He exclaimed, "O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that Thou hast hidden these things from sages and men of understanding, and hast revealed them to babes. Yes, Father, for such has been Thy gracious will.
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 knows who the Son is but the Father, nor who the Father is but the Son, and he 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.
And He turned towards His disciples and said to them apart, "Blessed are the eyes which see what 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 tell you that many Prophets and kings have desired to see the things you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the things 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)
Then an expounder of the Law stood up to test Him with a question. "Rabbi," he asked, "what shall I do to inherit the Life of the Ages?" (aiōnios g166)
"Go to the Law," said Jesus; "what is written there? how does it read?"
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.
"'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God,'" he replied, "'with thy whole heart, thy whole soul, thy whole strength, and thy whole mind; and thy fellow man as much as thyself.'"
28 Yesu ka hla inde wu tie naki, u tie njanji u wuna kyu na.
"A right answer," said Jesus; "do that, and you shall live."
29 Mala ani sun si tuma cuwo nda tre Yesu, Ahi nha hi indji u ka hlan mu?
But he, desiring to justify himself, said, "But what is meant by my 'fellow man'?"
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.
Jesus replied, "A man was once on his way down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell among robbers, who after both stripping and beating him went away, leaving him half dead.
31 Se ga bi ton du Irji ye toh nda zuni kosan nda hi kpama.
Now a priest happened to be going down that way, and on seeing him passed by on the other side.
32 Se ga balawi aye nda toh nda gon zu ni kosan nda hi kpama ngame.
In like manner a Levite also came to the place, and seeing him passed by on the other side.
33 Se ga Basamariye aye nda kukri nda ya indji'a a loh suron.
But a certain Samaritan, being on a journey, came where he lay, and seeing him was moved with pity.
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 dressed his wounds with oil and wine and bound them up. Then placing him on his own mule he brought him to an inn, where he bestowed every care on 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 shillings and gave them to the innkeeper. "'Take care of him,' he said, 'and whatever further expense you are put to, I will repay it you at my next visit.'
36 Ni mi ndji tra biyi, ahi nha hi ndji u kutra kalah ma?
"Which of those three seems to you to have acted like a fellow man to him who fell among the robbers?"
37 Se mala ka tre indji wa tsro loh suron, I Yesu ka tre hi ndi tie naki.
"The one who showed him pity," he replied. "Go," said Jesus, "and act in the same way."
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 pursued their journey He came to a certain 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 Lord'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.
Martha meanwhile was busy and distracted in waiting at table, and she came and said, "Master, do you not care that my sister is leaving me to do all the waiting? Tell her to assist me."
41 Bachi ka tre Mata, Mata wu yo kpi gbugbu'u ni ko shishi me,
"Martha, Martha," replied Jesus, "you are anxious and worried about a multitude of things;
42 ama kpe riri Maryamu a chu kpe ndindi ma, ba ndji'a wa ani sran wu kpa.
and yet only one thing is really necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion and she shall not be deprived of it."
