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.
Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through 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 to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3 Ya kpambi, wa vayi ma lahtre, bwu shishi niwu, nda a kpa nuyime wruhle niwu.
Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, 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.
Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
5 Bi ninkon ba hla ni tie kon mba, nzu yo suron buu.
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 answered, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will 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 whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say to him, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?
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?
Instead, won’t he tell him, ‘Prepare my meal and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink; and afterward you may eat and drink’?
9 Ana gir ni wer kon du a tie ikpa wawu la una a tie?
Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?
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 you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”
11 A bi fin ri atsi tie ni Wurishelima, abu kusa nei gbu Samariya ni Galili.
While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.
12 Wa ari ni gbu ri, ndji wlon bi lilon gben ba izun ni wu. Ba klir gbugbanmu niwu.
As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance
13 Ba bwu ba ni fu ba, nda tre, Yesu nikon wo iyi mbu.
and raised their voices, shouting, “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.
When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.
15 Iri nimi ba wa a to wawu samu sikpa, a kmaye, nda ngyiri ni Ijri ni la ndindima.
When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.
16 A joku ni kbu Yesu, nda ngyiri niwu gbugbome wawu a ndji igbu Samariya.
He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.
17 Yesu la bana ndji wlo na wa samu sikpa na, itiya ba bahe ni ntsen?
“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?
18 Ba bari wa ba kmaye nda ngyiri ni Irji, tse ndji tsri yi?
Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”
19 A hla niwu, lunde ndi he ni suron ndindime anu sikpa ma.
Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”
20 Farisawa ba mye Irji ni ye ni ntan, Yesu hlani bawu ndi Irji ana ye iri iya ndi na.
When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.
21 Ko ba la yah, ahe iyi koh ahe wamu. Bi ka yah iye Irji ahe aniwu.
Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
22 A hla ni imri koh ma, i vin tse ye wa bi son toh ivi wa ivren ndji niye, bi na tona.
Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.
23 Ba hla niwu, yah, ni wamu, yah niwa hi na rju na, na bu ba na.
People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after 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 just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man 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.
Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be 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.
People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then 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.
It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
29 Ivin wa lutu rju ni Saduma, ba tsra lu kwekwema rji ni shu bawu ba u ahuwu.
But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 Ani he na kiyi wa ba ton vren ndji.
It will be just like that on the day 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.
On that day, let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve his possessions. Likewise, let no one in the field return for anything he has left behind.
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 tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
34 Mi hla niwu, ni chu kiyi ndi ha ni tub blah riri, baba ri nda ton ri.
I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: One will be taken and the other left.
35 Imba ha ba si kon kpu ba ka ban ri, nda bri rima.
Two women will be grinding grain together: One will be taken and the other left.”
36 Ndji lulo bari ba hi ni rju, ba ban ri nda bri ri.
37 Ba mye, ni ntsen Tie koh? A hla bawu iwirji igbokpa ahe, ni kiyi bi ton ugulu.
“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
