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.
And there were present, at that very time, some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled 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?
And he answering, said to them: Think you that these Galileans were sinners above all the men of Galilee, 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 unless you shall do penance, you shall all likewise 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 upon whom the tower fell in Siloe, and slew them: think you, that they also were debtors above all the men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 A'an me hla yiwu amma bi tana bre wruhle na wawu mbiwu bi kle
No, I say to you; but except you do penance, you shall all likewise 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.
He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.
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 dresser of the vineyard: Behold, for these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it done therefore: why cumbereth it the ground?
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, said to him: Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig about it, and dung it.
9 Ani ta klo ni semu abi amma ini ta ka klo uka tsen taga
And if happily it bear fruit: but if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
10 Yesu asi tsuro ni mi tra Rji cacu a sabath.
And he was teaching in their synagogue on their sabbath.
11 Iwa ri ahe ki nda lo tie se wlon don tadra. Avu ndiu nda na to nza kli zande trii mena.
And behold there was a woman, who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years: and she was bowed together, neither could she look upwards at all.
12 Da Yesu a to-o a yowu nda tre iwa u jibu ni lilo me yi.
Whom when Jesus saw, he called her unto him, and said to her: Woman, thou art delivered from thy 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
And the ruler of the synagogue (being angry that Jesus had healed on the sabbath) answering, said to the multitude: Six days there are wherein you ought to work. In them 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?
And the Lord answering him, said: Ye hypocrites, doth not every one of you, on the sabbath day, loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead them 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?
And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, 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 when he said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the things that were gloriously done by him.
18 U Yesu tre mulki Rji abi rime u me tsarwu to ni ngye.
He said therefore: To what is the kingdom of God like, and whereunto shall I resemble 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 to 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 the air lodged in the branches thereof.
20 A latre ni ngye me tsar mulki Rji?
And again he said: Whereunto shall I esteem the kingdom of God to be like?
21 A he na yeast wa u ban tsui ni mwumwu kongo tra u mba kabi wawu-u
It is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till 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 the cities and towns teaching, and making his journey to Jerusalem.
23 Indi ri tre niwu, Baci ahi ndi tsameyi ba nawo? wa hla niwu,
And a certain man said to him: Lord, are they few that are saved? But he said to them:
24 Nra nkon u ri wa ahi wre me don me hla wu gbugbu ndi bawa nkon iri wakran.
Strive to enter by the narrow gate; for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter, and shall 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.
But when the master of the house shall be gone in, and shall shut the door, you shall begin to stand without, and knock at the door, saying: Lord, open to us. And he answering, shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are.
26 U bi tre, ki rli ndi soh ni shishi me di bla tre Rji ni nkon bi mi gbumbu.
Then you shall begin to say: We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, 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 to you: I know you not, whence you 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 weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
29 Baye rji ko Nzan, Yalu, Koshu mba ni kogbo nda son ni tebru u mulki Rji.
And there shall come from the east and the west, and the north and the south; and shall sit down 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, they are last that shall be first; and they are first that 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 day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind 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 and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and do cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I am consummated.
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 walk today and tomorrow, and the day following, because it cannot 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, that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee, how often would I have gathered thy children as the bird doth her brood under her wings, and thou wouldest 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 shall be left to you desolate. And I say to you, that you shall not see me till the time come, when you shall say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
