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.

And he said to his disciples, It cannot be but that offences come, but woe [to 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 [more] profitable for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should be a snare to one of these little ones.

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

Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother should sin, rebuke him; and if he should 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 should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times should return to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.

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

And the apostles said to the Lord, Give more faith to us.

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.

But the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard [seed], ye had said to this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed 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.

But which of you [is there] who, having a bondman ploughing or shepherding, when he comes in out of the field, will say, Come and lie down immediately to 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, Prepare what I shall sup on, and gird thyself and serve me that I may eat and drink; and after that thou shalt eat and drink?

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

Is he thankful to the bondman because he has done what was ordered? I judge 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.

Thus ye also, when ye shall have done all things that have been ordered you, say, We are unprofitable bondmen; we have done what it 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 going up 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 into a certain village ten leprous men met him, who stood afar off.

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

And they lifted up [their] voice saying, Jesus, Master, have compassion on us.

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

And seeing [them] he said to them, Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass as they were going they were cleansed.

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

And one of them, seeing that he was cured, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,

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

and fell on [his] face at his feet giving 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 answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but the nine, where [are they]?

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

There have not been found to return and give glory to God save this stranger.

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

And he said to him, Rise up and go thy way: thy faith has made thee well.

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

And having been asked by the Pharisees, When is the kingdom of God coming? he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation;

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

nor shall they say, Lo here, or, Lo there; for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of 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 the disciples, Days are coming, when ye shall 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 will say to you, Lo here, or Lo there; go not, 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 shines which lightens from [one end] under heaven to [the other end] under heaven, thus 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 of this generation.

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

And as it took place in the days of Noe, thus also shall 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.

they ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all [of them];

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

and in like manner as took place 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 on the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed all [of them]:

30 Ani he na kiyi wa ba ton vren ndji.

after this [manner] shall it be in the day that 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, he who shall be on the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not go down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

32 Rhi mre iwa Lutu.

Remember the wife of Lot.

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

Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose it shall preserve it.

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

I say to you, In that night there shall be two [men] upon one bed; one shall be seized and the other shall be let go.

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

Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be seized and the other shall be let go.

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 seized and the other let go.]

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

And answering they say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body [is], there the eagles will be gathered together.
