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 certain ones at that time announcing to him concerning the Galileans, whose blood Pilate 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?
And responding to them He said, Do you think that those Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered these things?
3 A' an, me hla giu amma idan bina bre wruhle na wawu mbi wu bi tie meme na u mba.
T say unto you, Nay: but unless you may repent, 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, on whom the tower in Saloam fell, and killed them, do you think that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem?
5 A'an me hla yiwu amma bi tana bre wruhle na wawu mbiwu bi kle
I say unto you, Nay: but unless you may repent, you will 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.
And He spoke this parable, A certain one had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard; and 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 vinedresser, Behold, three years from which I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and I find none: cut it down; why indeed does it cumber 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.
And responding he says to him, Lord, let it alone also this year, until I shall dig about it, and cast manures:
9 Ani ta klo ni semu abi amma ini ta ka klo uka tsen taga
and if it may bear fruit in the future; and if not you shall 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 behold, a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bowed together, and not at all able to straighten 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, Woman, thou art loosed 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 placed His hands on her: and immediately she straightened up, and continued 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
And the chief ruler of the synagogue, responding, being grieved because Jesus healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, There are six days in which it behooveth us to work: therefore during these, coming, 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 responded to him, and said, Ye hypocrites, does not each one of you loose his ox or his donkey from the stall, and leading him away, give him water on the Sabbath?
16 Toki iwayi ahi vrenwa Ibrahim wa shetan lowu zi tie se' wlon don tandra u bana siiwu cuwo ni vi sabath na?
Did it not behoove this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound, lo, these eighteen years, to be loosed from this 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
And He speaking these things, all opposing Him became ashamed: and the whole multitude rejoiced over all the illustrious works wrought by Him.
18 U Yesu tre mulki Rji abi rime u me tsarwu to ni ngye.
Then 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 having taken, cast into his garden; and it grew, and became a 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 having taken, 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 was journeying through cities and villages, teaching, and making His journey towards Jerusalem.
23 Indi ri tre niwu, Baci ahi ndi tsameyi ba nawo? wa hla niwu,
And one said to Him, Lord, are the saved few? And He said to them,
24 Nra nkon u ri wa ahi wre me don me hla wu gbugbu ndi bawa nkon iri wakran.
Agonize to enter in through the narrow gate: because many, I say unto 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.
When the landlord may rise up, and close the door, and you may begin to stand without, and knock at the door, saying, Lord, open unto us; and responding he will say unto you, I know 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 will begin to say, We ate and drank in thy presence, and thou didst preach 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 say, I tell you, I know you not whence you are; depart from me, all you 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.
And 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 cast out.
29 Baye rji ko Nzan, Yalu, Koshu mba ni kogbo nda son ni tebru u mulki Rji.
And they will come from the east and west, and the north and south, and will 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, 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 hour certain Pharisees came to Him, saying; Depart, and go hence: because Herod wishes to slay 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, Having gone, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perfect healings to-day and to-morrow, and on the third day I am made perfect.
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.
Moreover it behooves Me to travel to-day and to-morrow and the day following: because it does not behoove 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, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them that have been sent unto thee! how frequently did I wish to gather thy children, in the manner in which a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye were not willing!
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 desolate. I say unto you, that you can see me no more, until it shall come to pass that you may say, Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord.
