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 said He to the disciples, It is impossible that offences should not come: but wo 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 were better for him that a milstone were hung about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to offend.

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

Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother trespass against thee, 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 trespass against thee seven times a day, and seven times in a day 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 unto 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 ye had faith but as a grain of mustard-seed, ye might say to this sycamine-tree, Be thou rooted up and planted in the sea; and it would 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.

But which of you having a servant plowing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, as soon as he comes in from the field, Come hither and sit down 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 rather say to him, Get ready my supper, and gird thyself, and wait upon me, till I have done, and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink.

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

Is he obliged to that servant for doing what he was ordered?

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.

I think not. So likewise ye, when ye have done all things that were commanded you, say we are unprofitable servants, for we have done only what we ought to do.

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

And as He was going to Jerusalem, 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, there met Him ten men that were lepers:

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

who stood at a distance, and lifted up their voice, saying, Jesus master, have pity 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 unto them, Go and 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, perceiving that he was healed, returned, with a loud voice glorifying God:

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

and fell prostrate 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 answered and said, Were not all the ten cleansed? and where are the other nine?

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

Are there none returning to give glory to God, but this stranger?

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

And He said to him, Arise, go thy way; thy faith hath saved thee.

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 and said, the kingdom of God cometh not with observation.

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

Neither shall they say, Behold it is here, or behold it is there; for the kingdom of God is within 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, the time will come, 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, Behold, He is here, or behold He is there: but 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 which lightneth from the one part of heaven shineth to the other: so also shall the Son of man be in his day.

25 A ni sha yah gbugbu kri gbugblu bakaba wu.

But He must suffer many things first, 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 were eating, drinking, marrying, and being married, till the day that Noah went into 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.

And as it was likewise in the days of Lot; they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, and building:

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

but the very day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

30 Ani he na kiyi wa ba ton vren ndji.

Thus 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, whoever shall be on the house-top, and his goods in the house, let him not come down into it to take them away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

32 Rhi mre iwa Lutu.

Remember Lot's wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it;

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

and whosoever will venture his life, shall preserve it.

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

In that night there shall be two 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 unto Him, Where, Lord? And He said to them, where the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
