Luke 13
1 Ni ntor ki indi bari ba ye ki nda wa wu itre indi bi Galili wa Bilatus ta kayi mba kai bi nda tie ha daya.
At that time some of those present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
2 Yesu a kasa bawu biya di indi bi Galili yi ba latre nna mbur bi Galili ba don ba tie yah towa?
To this He replied, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this fate?
3 A' an, me hla giu amma idan bina bre wruhle na wawu mbi wu bi tie meme na u mba.
No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.
4 Indi wlan don tandara ni siloam wa guglo koh a grji can be wu'a bi ya di ba latre mba a meme na' u indi bari ni urushalima?
Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam collapsed on them: Do you think that they were more sinful than all the others living in Jerusalem?
5 A'an me hla yiwu amma bi tana bre wruhle na wawu mbiwu bi kle
No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”
6 Yesu a hla misali yi “Indi ri ahe ni rju wa a sen kukron nda ye kyen klo ma amma nda na vriri mena.
Then Jesus told this parable: “A man had a fig tree that was planted in his vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it, but did not find any.
7 Indi u rju'a hla ni wa ani ya rju'a niwu. To yi, ise tra mezi ye di me kyen klo kukron yi, u me na fe ko riri mena. Tsen'e taga u don zi nigye ndu hra bubu?
So he said to the keeper of the vineyard, ‘Look, for the past three years I have come to search for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Therefore cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’
8 U indi u ya rju ni wu'a ka tre, tie koh mu don wu zi ise ri rli ndu me mlau tie ndi sraru taki.
‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone again this year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
9 Ani ta klo ni semu abi amma ini ta ka klo uka tsen taga
If it bears fruit next year, fine. But if not, you can cut it down.’”
10 Yesu asi tsuro ni mi tra Rji cacu a sabath.
One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,
11 Iwa ri ahe ki nda lo tie se wlon don tadra. Avu ndiu nda na to nza kli zande trii mena.
and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was hunched over and could not stand up straight.
12 Da Yesu a to-o a yowu nda tre iwa u jibu ni lilo me yi.
When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.”
13 Aka wo ma sa ni wa hari me ka nime trii ma katie didi wa a gri nda gbre Rji san.
Then He placed His hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and began to glorify God.
14 Ichu u ya tra Rji'a ka tie fu andi a den lilo cocu sabath. Ichu a tre nda hla ni j'bu ndi ba, Ivi tanne bahi u ndu ye kpa den mbi ni vi biki, ana cacu sabath na
But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. “There are six days for work,” he told the crowd. “So come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath.”
15 Baci a kasa niwu nda tre bi mirlya ndi, Ahi rime mbi na sii lando ma ka nakpron ma hi so ma cacu sabath na?
“You hypocrites!” the Lord replied. “Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it to water?
16 Toki iwayi ahi vrenwa Ibrahim wa shetan lowu zi tie se' wlon don tandra u bana siiwu cuwo ni vi sabath na?
Then should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be released from her bondage on the Sabbath day?”
17 Da a hla tre ba ishan a tie indi bi'a ba tisan niwu amma ekpe ndi ba ba ngrji ngri ni kpi wa a tie'a
When Jesus said this, all His adversaries were humiliated. And the whole crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things He was doing.
18 U Yesu tre mulki Rji abi rime u me tsarwu to ni ngye.
Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it?
19 Ahe na iwlo mustad wa indi ri ban katayo mimi rju a gbron tie kikle kukron, u ciceri bi shu baka ti koh mba ni lari ma.
It is like a mustard seed that a man tossed into his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”
20 A latre ni ngye me tsar mulki Rji?
Again He asked, “To what can I compare the kingdom of God?
21 A he na yeast wa u ban tsui ni mwumwu kongo tra u mba kabi wawu-u
It is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”
22 Nikiyi Yesu ka ziren hi ni gbu'ni mrli gbu u nkon urushalima nda zi bla tre Rji.
Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way toward Jerusalem.
23 Indi ri tre niwu, Baci ahi ndi tsameyi ba nawo? wa hla niwu,
“Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered,
24 Nra nkon u ri wa ahi wre me don me hla wu gbugbu ndi bawa nkon iri wakran.
“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.
25 Indi u koh'a nita wlu nda tro nkon tra ye to ka u kli ni ra ndi wuru nkon ndi tre, Baci, Baci bwa nkon'a tawu. Ani sayiwu, mena toyi na koiwrji wa bi rji na.
After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’
26 U bi tre, ki rli ndi soh ni shishi me di bla tre Rji ni nkon bi mi gbumbu.
Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’
27 Amma ana akasa, me hla yiwu, me na toh wrji ba bi rji'a na. K'ma dimu biyi bi wa bi tie latre'a
And he will answer, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers.’
28 Iyi mba tan nyinyren kabi to Ibrahim, Ishaku, Yakubu ni anabawa ba wawuu ni mi mulki Rji amma ba truyi hle ra.
There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are thrown out.
29 Baye rji ko Nzan, Yalu, Koshu mba ni kogbo nda son ni tebru u mulki Rji.
People will come from east and west and north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.
30 To mba biwa ba yaba hlega babi mumla, u bi wa ba yaba ti ndi'a ba kati u klekle.
And indeed, some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.”
31 Ni mi nton kime farisawa ban baka ye u nda tre, hi di don bubuyi don Fero niwa wuu.
At that very hour, some Pharisees came to Jesus and told Him, “Leave this place and get away, because Herod wants to kill You.”
32 Yesu tre, hi ndi hi hla ni tsi mba to mba me zu brji di ni denbi lilo luwa mba mble uni vi u tra me kle kpie wa me yo suron'a.
But Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.’
33 Ko anita he ni he me, ahi gbigbi nimu ndu me si tindu rji luwa, imble ni vrli ni tu wa bana nime ndu ba wuu anabi ni wrji ri na sai urushalima.
Nevertheless, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day, for it is not admissible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem.
34 Urushalima, Urushalima a nha wuu anabawa ba nda ta bi wa ba ye ni yi ni tita? Abi yo sron bita mena hewu ndu me vu mrli mbi hra nawa yi kuko ni vu mrli hra krju tie ni ngbam ma na, amma bi na son to ki na.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!
35 Toyi, iko mbi kli hlega. Me hla yiwu, bina toh mena sai bi tre, lulu ahi, indi wa aye ni nde u Baci.
Look, your house is left to you desolate. And I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
