Luke 11
1 Naki Yesu a si'a bre Irji ni bubu ri, ni-andi a kle bre'a, iri ni mri koh ma bi hu'a a tre ni wu ndi, “Bachi, tsro ta kini toh bre bib-andi Yohana a tsro mri koh bi hu'a.
And it came to pass while being He in a place certain praying, when He ceased, said one of the disciples of Him to Him; Lord, do teach us to pray even as also John taught the disciples of him.
2 Yesu a hla bawu ndi, “Bita bre, bika tre ndi, 'Iti mbu, du ndeme ndu kpa ninkon. Du ikoh Irji ni shulu du ye.
He said then to them; When you may pray, do say: Father (of us in to the heavens *K*) should be hallowed the name of You; should come the kingdom of You (should be [done] *KO*) (the will of you as in heaven and upon earth; *K*)
3 Nu ta biri mbu wu vi chachu.
The bread of us daily do give us each day;
4 Wru latre mbu hlega, toh-andi ki wru hle ni ko nha wandi a rhi ihla mbu. Na duta rjoku ni tsra na.'”
And do forgive us the sins of us; also for ourselves we forgive to everyone indebted to us; and may you not lead us into temptation (but do deliver us from evil. *K*)
5 Yesu a hla ni bawu ndi, nnha mbi ani he ni kpan wandi ani hi niwu ni tsutsu chu ndahi bre ndi “Ikpanmu, nne ihla bredi tra,
And He said to them; Who among you will have a friend, and will go to him at midnight and say to him; Friend, do lend me three loaves,
6 nitu ikpanma ri a ye wru sru zizan rji ni zren, i mina he ni ikpe wandi minu ri na.
since a friend of mine is come off a journey to me, and nothing I have what I will set before him;
7 Wawu wandi a he ni miko ma a sa niwu nda tre ndi, na nne yratu na. Mi tronkon mu ye, i mri mu ni me ki ri kruna ye. Mina la lunde ni nu bredi na.”
And he And he from within answering may say; Not me trouble do cause. already the door has been shut, and the children of mine with me in the bed are; not I am able having risen up to give to you.
8 Mi hla ni yiwu, anita na lunde nda nu bredi nitu wu kpanma na, nitu kri nhatu myeme, ani lunde nda nhu gbugbu bredi wandi wu wa'a.
I say to you; if even not he will give to him having risen up because of being friend of him because of yet the persistence of him having risen he will give to him (as many as *NK(o)*) he needs.
9 Mi la hla ni yiwu, mye ba nuhi, wa i bi to, wru nkon, i ba bwu ni yiwu.
And I myself And I myself to you say; do ask and it will be given to you; do seek and you will find; do knock and it will be opened to you.
10 Ndji wandi ani mye, ni waa anito, i ndji a wru ba bwu niwu.
Everyone for the [one] asking receives, and the [one] seeking finds, and to the [one] knocking it will be opened.
11 Iti nha ni mi mbi, vren ma nita mye ni du nu lambe ani ban iwan nu nitu lambe? Chiche nvunvu bi sen bari nha ba hi nkpurju, i bari wu mba gbron, toh ikpe wandi ba nha ni Matta 7:9. Iti rime ni mi mbi wa ivren nita mye bredi waka ban tita nu? Ka anita mye lambe ka ban iwan nu?
Which now (of *no*) you who [is] a father will ask for the son (bread surely not stone will he give to him *KO*) (if *K(o)*) a fish, and (surely not *ko*) instead of a fish a serpent to him will he give
12 Ka anita mye inchen'ko waka ban illan nu?
Or also (if *K*) (he will ask for *NK(O)*) an egg, (surely not *ko*) will he give to him a scorpion?
13 Ni kima, biyi bi meme dri bita toh nu mri mbi ikpi bi ndindi, nitu ngye Itimbi ni shulu na nuyi Ruhu Tsatsra ma ni ko nha wandi a mye na?”
If therefore you yourselves evil being you know gifts good to give to the children of you, how much more the Father who [is] in heaven will give [the] Spirit Holy to those asking Him!
14 Yesu asi'azu brji mamgbi ri ni rju brji ni kpa ma, Igu'a ani mamgbi a lu kri tre, i kpa ndji biwa ba he niki ba bwu nyu yo ra ni sissri.
And He was casting out a demon and it was mute. it came to pass then from the demon having gone out spoke the mute And marveled the crowds.
15 I ndji bari nimi mba ba tre ndi Beelzebul, ninkon brji ba si zu brji mba ni rju
Some then of them said; By Beelzebul (the *no*) prince of the demons He casts out the demons.
16 Bari ba tsra ni du ba toh alama rji ni shulu.
Others now testing a sign from heaven were seeking from Him.
17 Yesu a toh kpe-andi a si zren ni suron mba nda tre ndi, “Khikle Koh andi a yra kpama ni kpama, ani yra kado, i ikoh wandi a yra tuma ni tuma ani zii rjoku.
He himself now knowing their thoughts said to them; Every kingdom against itself having been divided is brought to desolation, and a house against a house falls.
18 Shetan nita ga kpama ni kpama, hikle koma tie he nda kri? Bita toh ndi mi zu brji rju ni Beelzebul.
If now even Satan against himself is divided, how will stand the kingdom of him? For you say by Beelzebul [am] casting out I the demons.
19 Mita zu brji rju ni Beelzebul, i bi wa ba huyi ba zu ba ni nha? Nitu wayi, baba yi ba ga tre ni yiwu.
If now I myself by Beelzebul cast out the demons, the sons of you by whom do they cast out? On account of this they themselves of you judges will be.
20 Mita zu brji ni rju ni vren-wo Irji, nikima, kikle koh Irji ni grji ye ni yi.
If however by [the] finger of God (I myself *no*) cast out the demons, then has come upon you the kingdom of God.
21 Ndji wu gbengblen wandi a kri ni sro ni koh ma, ikpe koh ma ba nawo.
When the strong [man] having armed himself may guard the his own house, in peace are the possessions of him;
22 Ndji ri wandi a zan ni gbengbeln anita ye suu, wandi azan gbengble ani vu kpe wu sro ma wa ana yo suron niba nda vu kpi wu koh nda hi kpama.
when however (*k*) [one] stronger than he having come upon [him] he may overcome him, the complete armor of him he takes away in which he had trusted, and the plunder of him he divides.
23 Wandi ana he nime na ana nyime nime na. I wa'a ana vu shubi ni me na, ni vre hle.
The [one] not being with Me against Me is, and the [one] not gathering with Me scatters.
24 Meme ibrji nita wru ni kpa ndji, a ni zren zu ni kuklu bubu nda wa bubu kuson. Anita na toh na, ani hlandi “Mi k'ma hi ni ko wandi mina he'a.”
When the unclean spirit is gone out from the man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest. and not finding [any] (then *NO*) it says; I will return to the house of mine from where I came out.
25 Aniti k'ma ye nda toh ba se ikoh pempeme nda mla wu tie.
And having come it finds [it] (being unoccupied *O*) swept and ordered.
26 Ani k'ma hi yo brji tangba bari du ba hu ye son ni ko'a. I isran gu ni zan wandi a he ni mumla'a.
Then it goes and it takes other spirits more evil than itself seven, and (having entered *NK(o)*) they dwell there; and becomes the last of the man that [one] worse than the first.
27 A he me, niwa a tre kpi biyi, iwa ri a d'bu hla nimi kpa'a ndji ba nda hla wu ndi, “Lulu ku ni nne wandi a ngrji wu, mba sisan wandi wu ma.”
It came to pass then while [is] saying He these things, having lifted up one [her] voice a woman from the crowd said to Him; Blessed [is] the womb which having borne You, and [the] breasts at which You nursed.
28 Wa a sa ni wu ndi, “Ni kima du lulu son nitu bi wandi ba wo tre Irji nda tie ndu (ziwu) ni wu.”
He himself then said; No rather blessed [are] those hearing the word of God and keeping (it. *k*)
29 Wa ndji ba basi bran nha, Yesu a lu si wa ndji, “Ik'ba biyi ba meme ik'ba. Ba wa ingba, i bana nuba ingba na - se ingba wu Jonah.
Of the now crowds being pressed around together He began to say; generation this (generation *no*) an evil is. a sign (it seeks after, *N(k)O*) and a sign not will be given to it only except the sign of Jonah (the prophet. *K*)
30 Ni-andi Jonah ana ingba ni mi bi Ninevit, toki me, vren Ndji ani ingba ni k'ba yi.
Even as for was (*o*) Jonah to the Ninevites a sign thus will be also the Son of Man to the generation this.
31 Ichu-mba wu kogon ani lunde ni bla tre ni lilon wu k'ba yi nda lo ba, nitu a ye rhi ni gbagban meme, du ye wo wrji nyu Solomon, nda toh ndji wa a zan Solomon he niayi.
[The] Queen of [the] South will rise up in the judgment with the men of the generation this and will condemn them; For she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold greater than Solomon here.
32 Ndji bi Nineve ba kri ni bla han tre ni k'ba ndji biyi, nda lo ba, nitu ba kpa tre Irji nda tan ntsan niwa ba wo tre Irji ni nyu Jonah, bi ka toh Ndji wa azan Jonah he ni yi.
[The] men (Ninevites *N(k)O*) will stand up in the judgment with generation this and will condemn it; For they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold greater than Jonah [is] here.
33 A nha ni yo lu ni glogo nda ban ri ni sisen ndana ka sa ni tu kpe tsame na ni du bi ri miko du ba toh kpan lu.
But no [one] (now *k*) a lamp having lit in (a cellar *N(K)O*) sets it nor [sets it] under the basket but upon the lampstand that those entering in the (light *N(k)O*) may see.
34 Shishi meyi hi glogo wu kpa me wawu. Shishi me nita bi, wawu kpame ni shu ni kpan-lu. U Shishi me nita na bi na, ikpa me wawu ni tie bwu.
The lamp of body is the eye (of you. *no*) When (therefore *K*) the eye of you clear may be, also all the body of you light is; when however evil it may be, also the body of you [is] dark.
35 Nikima, bi ka mla zren ni du ikpan mbi du na k'ma tie bwu na.
do take heed therefore lest the light that [is] in you darkness be.
36 Ikpa mbi wawu niti na shu ni kpan-lu, ni hamma ngbala ri ni bwu, niki, kpa mbi wawu ani kpan toh glogo ni kpan-lu ma niwu.
If therefore the body of you [is] full of light not having part any dark, it will be light all, as when the lamp so the shining may light you.
37 Ni wa a kle tre'a, Farasi ri a mye'u du hu hi rhi biri ni koma, Yesu a kpa nyime nda hu'u.
While then speaking (asked *N(k)O*) Him a Pharisee (a certain one *k*) that He would dine with him. having entered then He reclined.
38 Farasi a yi mamaki ni toh ndi Yesu ana ngla kpama ri nda son ni ba ni bubu rhi biri'a na.
And the Pharisee having seen [it] marveled that not first He washed before the dinner.
39 I Bachi a hla ni wu ndi, “Zizan, biyi Farasi bi ngla kogon vuvanho mba gbugba'a (kungo) nda don mima shu ni sontu ba meme kpi.
Said then the Lord to him; Now you yourselves Pharisees the outside the cup and the dish you cleanse, and the inside of you is full of plundering and wickedness.
40 Biyi ndji bi kha toh, Ana wandi a tie kogon a tie mima ngame na?
Fools! Surely the [One] having made the outside also the inside made?
41 Nu kpi wandi ba he ni mi tu beko, i kpiba wawu ba rju pyempyen me niwu.
But [of] the [things] being within do give alms, and behold all things clean to you are.
42 Iya mbi biyi Farasi, nitu bi nu zaka wlon mint mba rue, i mri vunvu bi koh p'ma, nina k'magon nu ti bi mba son Irji. Ani bi du yi zren bi ni son Irji, hamma ni mbru kpi ba ngame.
But woe to you Pharisees, for you pay tithes of mint and rue and every herb and you pass by the justice and the love of God; These things (also *NO*) it was necessary for [you] to do, and those and those not (to neglect. *N(k)O*)
43 Iya mbi Farisawa, bi son bubu u son bi ko shishi ni sinagog mba kpa ichi bi nzu lu ni chuchu.
Woe to you Pharisees, for you love the first seat in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44 Iya mbi, bi he toh ibe wandi bana chu tsro nkana, ndji ba hon zu ndana toh na.
Woe to you (scribes and Pharisees hypocrites *K*) for you are like graves unmarked, and the men who are walking above not do know [it].
45 Iri nimi bi ninkon ni tre doka'a hla wu ndi, “Ticha, ikpi wandi wu tre a kpata tsri ngame.”
Answering now one of the lawyers says to Him; Teacher, these things saying also us You insult.
46 Yesu a tre ndi, “Iya-mbi, Tichas bi doka! Bi yo kikle kpi ni ndji wandi ani tiba ya nji, ama ni na yo wo kpre ni vren wo mbi riri na.
And He said; Also to you lawyers woe! For you burden the men [with] burdens heavy to bear and yourselves with one of the fingers of you not do touch the burdens.
47 Iya-mbi, bi meh ibe ni anabawa, wa ba bachi-mbi ba wuba.
Woe to you, for you build the tombs of the prophets, yet the fathers of you killed them.
48 Niki biti shaida ni kpanyime ni ndu ba bachi-mbi'a, Baba yi ba wuba i biyi bi meh ibe mba.
So (witnesses *N(k)O*) (you are *no*) and you consent to the works of the fathers of you; For they themselves indeed killed them, you yourselves however build (of them *K*) (the *k*) (monuments. *K*)
49 Ni tu kima'a, wri Irji a tre ndi, 'Mi ton anabawa mba manzani ye ni ba, i ba tiba ya nda wu bari mba.
Because of this also the Wisdom of God said; I will send to them prophets and apostles. and [some] of them they will kill and (will pursue *N(k)O*)
50 Ik'ba biyi ye mi vu ba nitu iyi ba anabawa wandi ba ka hle rji ni mumla,
so that may be charged the blood of all the prophets which (poured out *N(k)O*) from [the] foundation of [the] world against generation this,
51 rji ni iyi Habila, ye ni iyi Zakariya, wandi ba wu ba ni kpa bubu ton ba koh Irji. E, mi hla niwu, mi vu ik'ba yi ni tumba.
from (the *k*) blood of Abel until (the *k*) blood of Zechariah the [one] having perished between the altar and the house. Yes I say to you, it will be required of generation this.
52 Iya-mbi bi zan toh tre Irji, bi ban ih'ra wu toh, nina ri ngame na, ni zu bi wandi bason ri'a.
Woe to you lawyers, for you have taken away the key of the knowledge. You yourselves not did enter and those entering you hindered.
53 Ni wandi Yesu a bri bubu kima, marubuchi, baba Farisawa ba kri nda sen nyu ni wu nitu kpi gbugbuwu, nda son,
(And from there And from there *no*) (when was expressing *N(k)O*) (now *k*) He (these things to them *k*) [then] began the scribes and the Pharisees urgently to press upon [Him] and to make speak Him about many things
54 si gben'u du ba vu ni tre nyu ma.
watching Him (and *K*) (seeking *KO*) to catch in something out of the mouth of Him (so that they may accuse him. *KO*)
