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.
Now at the same time there were present some who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with [that of] 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?
And he answering said to them, Think ye that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans because they suffered such things?
3 A' an, me hla giu amma idan bina bre wruhle na wawu mbi wu bi tie meme na u mba.
No, I say to you, but if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in the same manner.
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 on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, think ye that they were debtors beyond all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?
5 A'an me hla yiwu amma bi tana bre wruhle na wawu mbiwu bi kle
No, I say to you, but if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in like manner.
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.
And he spoke this parable: A certain [man] had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit upon it and 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?
And he said to the vinedresser, Behold, [these] three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree and find none: cut it down; why does it also render the ground useless?
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.
But he answering says to him, Sir, let it alone for this year also, until I shall dig about it and put dung,
9 Ani ta klo ni semu abi amma ini ta ka klo uka tsen taga
and if it shall bear fruit — but if not, after that thou shalt cut it down.
10 Yesu asi tsuro ni mi tra Rji cacu a sabath.
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
11 Iwa ri ahe ki nda lo tie se wlon don tadra. Avu ndiu nda na to nza kli zande trii mena.
And lo, [there was] a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent together and wholly unable to lift her head up.
12 Da Yesu a to-o a yowu nda tre iwa u jibu ni lilo me yi.
And Jesus, seeing her, called to [her], and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13 Aka wo ma sa ni wa hari me ka nime trii ma katie didi wa a gri nda gbre Rji san.
And he laid his hands upon her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified 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 ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus healed on the sabbath, answering said to the crowd, There are six days in which [people] ought to work; in these therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
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?
The Lord therefore answered him and said, Hypocrites! does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the manger and leading [it] away, water [it]?
16 Toki iwayi ahi vrenwa Ibrahim wa shetan lowu zi tie se' wlon don tandra u bana siiwu cuwo ni vi sabath na?
And this [woman], who is a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, lo, [these] eighteen years, ought she not to be loosed from this bond 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
And as he said these things, all who were opposed to him were ashamed; and all the crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things which were being done by him.
18 U Yesu tre mulki Rji abi rime u me tsarwu to ni ngye.
And he said, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I liken 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 grain of mustard [seed] which a man took and cast into his garden; and it grew and became a great tree, and the birds of heaven lodged in its branches.
20 A latre ni ngye me tsar mulki Rji?
And again he said, To what shall I liken 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, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until the whole was leavened.
22 Nikiyi Yesu ka ziren hi ni gbu'ni mrli gbu u nkon urushalima nda zi bla tre Rji.
And he went through one city and village after another, teaching, and journeying to Jerusalem.
23 Indi ri tre niwu, Baci ahi ndi tsameyi ba nawo? wa hla niwu,
And one said to him, Sir, [are] such as are to be saved few in number? But he said unto them,
24 Nra nkon u ri wa ahi wre me don me hla wu gbugbu ndi bawa nkon iri wakran.
Strive with earnestness to enter in through the narrow door, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in 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.
From the time that the master of the house shall have risen up and shall have shut the door, and ye shall begin to stand without and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he answering shall say to you, I know you not whence ye are:
26 U bi tre, ki rli ndi soh ni shishi me di bla tre Rji ni nkon bi mi gbumbu.
then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten in thy presence and drunk, and thou hast 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 shall say, I tell you, I do not know you whence ye are; depart from me, all [ye] workers of iniquity.
28 Iyi mba tan nyinyren kabi to Ibrahim, Ishaku, Yakubu ni anabawa ba wawuu ni mi mulki Rji amma ba truyi hle ra.
There shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves cast out.
29 Baye rji ko Nzan, Yalu, Koshu mba ni kogbo nda son ni tebru u mulki Rji.
And they shall come from east and west, and from north and south, and shall lie down at 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 behold, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last.
31 Ni mi nton kime farisawa ban baka ye u nda tre, hi di don bubuyi don Fero niwa wuu.
The same hour certain Pharisees came up, saying to him, Get out, and go hence, for Herod is desirous to kill thee.
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.
And he said to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and accomplish cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third [day] I am perfected;
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.
but I must needs walk to-day and to-morrow and the [day] following, for it must not be that a prophet perish out 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.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the [city] that kills the prophets and stones those that are sent unto her, how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen her brood under her wings, and ye would not.
35 Toyi, iko mbi kli hlega. Me hla yiwu, bina toh mena sai bi tre, lulu ahi, indi wa aye ni nde u Baci.
Behold, your house is left unto you; and I say unto you, that ye shall not see me until it come that ye say, Blessed [is] he that comes in the name of [the] Lord.
