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.
It was around this time that some people told Jesus about Pilate's killing of some Galileans while they were offering sacrifices.
2 Yesu a kasa bawu biya di indi bi Galili yi ba latre nna mbur bi Galili ba don ba tie yah towa?
“Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than any other Galileans because they suffered like this?” Jesus asked.
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 will all perish as well.
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?
What about those eighteen people that were killed when the tower in Siloam fell on them? Do you think they were the worst people in the whole of 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 will all perish as well.”
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 he told them this story as an illustration. “Once there was man who had a fig tree planted in his vineyard. He came to look for fruit on the tree, but he didn't 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 told the gardener, ‘Look, for three years I've been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and I haven't found any. Chop it down! Why should it be taking up space?’
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.
‘Master,’ the man replied, ‘please leave it alone for just one more year. I'll dig the soil around it and put down some fertilizer.
9 Ani ta klo ni semu abi amma ini ta ka klo uka tsen taga
If it produces fruit, then that's fine. If not, then chop it down.’”
10 Yesu asi tsuro ni mi tra Rji cacu a sabath.
One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in a synagogue,
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 was there who had been crippled by an evil spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not stand 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 told her, “You're freed of your sickness.”
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 she praised 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
However, the synagogue leader was upset that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. He said to the crowd, “There are six days for work. Come and be healed on those days, 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?
But the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn't every one of you untie your ox or donkey from the stall and take it to drink?
16 Toki iwayi ahi vrenwa Ibrahim wa shetan lowu zi tie se' wlon don tandra u bana siiwu cuwo ni vi sabath na?
Why shouldn't this woman, this daughter of Abraham whom Satan has kept tied up for eighteen years, be untied and set free this 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
What he said shamed all his opponents, but everyone in the crowd was delighted by all the wonderful things he was doing.
18 U Yesu tre mulki Rji abi rime u me tsarwu to ni ngye.
Then Jesus asked, “So what is the kingdom of God like? What should I compare it to?
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's like a mustard seed that a man planted in his garden. It grew into a tree, and the birds came and nested in its branches.”
20 A latre ni ngye me tsar mulki Rji?
He asked again, “What shall I compare the kingdom of God to?
21 A he na yeast wa u ban tsui ni mwumwu kongo tra u mba kabi wawu-u
It's like yeast that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour which made the whole batch rise.”
22 Nikiyi Yesu ka ziren hi ni gbu'ni mrli gbu u nkon urushalima nda zi bla tre Rji.
Jesus went around the towns and villages, teaching on his way to Jerusalem.
23 Indi ri tre niwu, Baci ahi ndi tsameyi ba nawo? wa hla niwu,
Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” Jesus replied,
24 Nra nkon u ri wa ahi wre me don me hla wu gbugbu ndi bawa nkon iri wakran.
“Try very hard to enter the narrow doorway, because I tell you that many will try to go in, and won't succeed.
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.
Once the house owner gets up and closes the door, you'll be standing outside knocking on the door, saying, ‘Master, please open the door for us.’ But he'll reply, ‘I don't know you or where you're from.’
26 U bi tre, ki rli ndi soh ni shishi me di bla tre Rji ni nkon bi mi gbumbu.
Then you'll say, ‘But 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
He'll reply, ‘I tell you, I don't know you or where you're from. Get away from me, all of you who don't do what's good!’
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 crying and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you are thrown out.
29 Baye rji ko Nzan, Yalu, Koshu mba ni kogbo nda son ni tebru u mulki Rji.
People will come from the east and the west, the north and the south, and they will sit down to eat 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.
For the last shall be first, and the first shall be last.”
31 Ni mi nton kime farisawa ban baka ye u nda tre, hi di don bubuyi don Fero niwa wuu.
At that moment some Pharisees came to Jesus and told him, “You should leave here. 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.
Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox that I will go on driving out demons and healing people for today and tomorrow, and on the third day I'll achieve what I came to do.
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.
Well anyway I must continue on my way for today and tomorrow, and the day after. For it wouldn't be right for a prophet to die 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.
Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you kill prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often I have wanted to gather all your children together just like a hen does with her chicks under her wings, but you refused!
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 desolate, and I tell you that you won't see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
