Luke 17

1 Yesu hla ni imri koh ma, A lele ndi ba kbu za ni tita iya mbi wa wu sa ahe ni krigin.

Then he said to his disciples: It is impossible that causes of offense should not come; but alas for him by whom they come!

2 Ana bi bana klo tita wu ni toh ma nda kayo nimi nne fi niwa ni tsa iri ni mi imri bi tsitsa yi diba kbu za.

It would be better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.

3 Ya kpambi, wa vayi ma lahtre, bwu shishi niwu, nda a kpa nuyime wruhle niwu.

Take heed to yourselves; if your brother sin against you, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

4 Nda kpalla niwu inkpu tangban ni vi ri, nda k'ma ye niwu inkpu tangban nda tre, mi brewu, abi du wruhle niwu.

And if he sin against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to you and say, I repent, you shall forgive him.

5 Bi ninkon ba hla ni tie kon mba, nzu yo suron buu.

And the apostles said to the Lord: Increase our faith.

6 Irji hla ndu bi he ni bangaskiya kama wlo mustard, bi iya hla niku kro du rumin chu di tsen nimi nei, A kpa nyime niwu.

And the Lord said: If you had faith like a grain of mustard, you might say to this sycamine-tree, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it should obey you.

7 A nha nimi mbi, ahe ni vren koh wa ni rho ko krju int'ma rhi rji mi ji ye, ani lla niwu tsima ye ndi ri lah.

Which of you that has a servant plowing, or feeding a flock, will say to him immediately, when he comes in from the field, Go and recline at table?

8 Ana hla ni wuna, wa kpe mi ri, ndi khi di tie ndu bar mi ri ndi tso. U me wru ndi tsro na?

But will he not say to him, Make ready my supper, and gird yourself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunk; and afterward, you shall eat and drink?

9 Ana gir ni wer kon du a tie ikpa wawu la una a tie?

Does he thank that servant, because he did what was commanded? I think not.

10 Iwu me naki yi nda u tie kpe wa ba hla niwu, u ya tre, kbi na khai mri koh ..... ma. Kbi tie ikpe wa kbi na tie.

So also you, when you shall have done all things that you arc commanded to do, say, We are unprofitable servants; for we have done what was our duty to do.

11 A bi fin ri atsi tie ni Wurishelima, abu kusa nei gbu Samariya ni Galili.

And it came to pass, as he was journeying to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 Wa ari ni gbu ri, ndji wlon bi lilon gben ba izun ni wu. Ba klir gbugbanmu niwu.

And as he entered a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood at a distance.

13 Ba bwu ba ni fu ba, nda tre, Yesu nikon wo iyi mbu.

And they lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

14 Wa ato ba, ahla ni bawu, hi ndi tsro tumbi ni Firistoci. Wa ba tsi bi, ba kpa sikpa.

And when he saw them, he said to them: Go, show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were made clean.

15 Iri nimi ba wa a to wawu samu sikpa, a kmaye, nda ngyiri ni Ijri ni la ndindima.

But, one of them, seeing that he was restored to health, turned back, and, with a loud voice, glorified God.

16 A joku ni kbu Yesu, nda ngyiri niwu gbugbome wawu a ndji igbu Samariya.

And he fell on his face at his feet, and gave him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.

17 Yesu la bana ndji wlo na wa samu sikpa na, itiya ba bahe ni ntsen?

And Jesus answered and said: Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

18 Ba bari wa ba kmaye nda ngyiri ni Irji, tse ndji tsri yi?

Were there none found to return and give glory to God, but this one of another race?

19 A hla niwu, lunde ndi he ni suron ndindime anu sikpa ma.

And he said to him: Arise, and go; your faith has saved you.

20 Farisawa ba mye Irji ni ye ni ntan, Yesu hlani bawu ndi Irji ana ye iri iya ndi na.

And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said: The kingdom of God comes not so as to attract attention;

21 Ko ba la yah, ahe iyi koh ahe wamu. Bi ka yah iye Irji ahe aniwu.

nor shall it be said, Lo here! or Lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is among you.

22 A hla ni imri koh ma, i vin tse ye wa bi son toh ivi wa ivren ndji niye, bi na tona.

And he said to his disciples: The days will come, when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see it.

23 Ba hla niwu, yah, ni wamu, yah niwa hi na rju na, na bu ba na.

And they shall say to you, Lo here! or Lo there! go not after them, nor follow them.

24 Ya nda izren ni whri nda kma tsutsa wa ni whri gbagbla shu yi ni gbagblamu, ani he nikiyi ivren ndji ni vin ma.

For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven, shines to another part under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day.

25 A ni sha yah gbugbu kri gbugblu bakaba wu.

But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.

26 A ni he nawa ahe ni nton Nuhu, ani he nakiyi ivi u ivren ndji.

And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

27 Ba nri, ba tso ba grah nde ninu grah har hi tub wa Nuhu anri ni Jirgi imah tubana ayeh, nda wu ba penpeme.

They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, till the day in which Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

28 A he na kiyi ni tan lutu bata nri, bata tso bata lbe nda lebie bata shu bata meh ba koh.

In like manner also, as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29 Ivin wa lutu rju ni Saduma, ba tsra lu kwekwema rji ni shu bawu ba u ahuwu.

but in the day in which Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 Ani he na kiyi wa ba ton vren ndji.

Even thus shall it be in the day in which the Son of man is revealed.

31 Ni vi khi yi, indji he ni tun khan du ma ngrji da ni vu kpima ni kon na, wa ahi ni rju du na kma ye na.

In that day, let not him that is on the house-top, and whose goods are in the house, come down to take them away. Likewise, he that is in the field, let him not turn back.

32 Rhi mre iwa Lutu.

Remember Lot’s wife.

33 Wa ni son tuma, ani rasa niwu, wa k tuma nu, ani tsira niwu.

Whoever will seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever will lose his life, shall save it.

34 Mi hla niwu, ni chu kiyi ndi ha ni tub blah riri, baba ri nda ton ri.

I say to you, on that night two men shall be in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

35 Imba ha ba si kon kpu ba ka ban ri, nda bri rima.

Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

36 Ndji lulo bari ba hi ni rju, ba ban ri nda bri ri.

Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

37 Ba mye, ni ntsen Tie koh? A hla bawu iwirji igbokpa ahe, ni kiyi bi ton ugulu.

And they answered and said to him. Where, Lord? And he said to them: Where the body is, there will the vultures be gathered.
