Luke 18
1 A lu tre ni tre ni bawu nitu duba ta bre Irji chachu nda na tie suu na.
And he spake also a parable vnto them, to this ende, that they ought alwayes to pray, and not to waxe faint,
2 A hla ndi “Ni gbu ri, ndji wu han tre njanji ri a he wandi ana tie sissri Irji na, dana toh ndji ngame ni nfutu na.
Saying, There was a iudge in a certaine citie, which feared not God, neither reuereced man.
3 Niki, iwari wu s'ro ri ason ni gbu'a ngame. A ta hi ni ndji wu han tre njanji chachu nda bre ndi, “Zome kpa ikrji mu niwo bi yo me ni shishi.
And there was a widowe in that citie, which came vnto him, saying, Doe mee iustice against mine aduersarie.
4 A ban nton gbaa me ndana son zo na. A son ni vi ntor ri nda rhimre kikima, nda hla ni tuma ndi, “Mina ti sissri Irji na, nina ya ndji ni nfutu ngame na.
And hee would not of a long time: but afterward he said with himselfe, Though I feare not God, nor reuerence man,
5 Nitu du iwayi na nne iya ni ye bre ma chachu na, Mi zo u kpa njanji ikrji ma nduna lo me kpa ni yema na.
Yet because this widowe troubleth mee, I will doe her right, lest at the last shee come and make me wearie.
6 I Bachi a tre ndi “wo tre andi ndji wa ana han tre njanji na a hla.
And the Lord said, Heare what the vnrighteous iudge saith.
7 Zizan Irji ngame na nji njanji ye ni bi wa a chu ba, ndani yi yo'u chachu ni Irji mba ni chu na? Ani tie sesren ye gbagbla ni ba?
Now shall not God auenge his elect, which cry day and night vnto him, yea, though he suffer long for them?
8 Mi hla yiwu ndi, ani ye ni njanji ni bawu gbagbla. Nikima vren ndji nita ye, ani ye toh nime ni gbungblu meme?
I tell you he will auenge them quickly: but when the Sonne of man commeth, shall he finde faith on the earth?
9 Me a lu tre toh choloncho ni bari wandi ba yo suron ni gbengblen mba, ndi ba zren tsatsra ndani ya bari grji tu,
He spake also this parable vnto certaine which trusted in themselues that they were iust, and despised other.
10 Ndji ha ba hon hi ni tra Irji nda hi bre, iri ana Farasi, i rhima bi kpa iban.
Two men went vp into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharise, and the other a Publican.
11 Farasi a lu kri ni zande nda bre ni tuma ndi, 'Irji, mi ngyiri nitu mina he to ndji bari na - bi y'bi, bi lahtre, bi humba, ba bi kpa ban too ndi yi.
The Pharise stoode and prayed thus with himselfe, O God, I thanke thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, vniust, adulterers, or euen as this Publican.
12 Mi zu kpa mu rhi biri nkpu ha ni sati. Mi nu zakka (iri nimi wlon) nitu wawu kpi ndi a ri nime.'
I fast twise in the weeke: I giue tithe of all that euer I possesse.
13 Ndji wu kpa ban'a a kri gbagban nda na nzu shishi hi ni shu mena, wru wo ni san nda tre ndi, “Irji, ya me ni lo suron, ndji wu lahtre.”
But the Publican standing a farre off, woulde not lift vp so much as his eyes to heauen, but smote his brest, saying, O God, be mercifull to me a sinner.
14 Mi hla yiwu, igu hi a kma hi kpama ni si suron zan ndi rima'a, nitu ndji wandi a nzu tuma hi shu, ba gbron grji, i wandi a ban tuma grji (nitu ana kpe na) ba nzu hi shu.”
I tell you, this man departed to his house iustified, rather then the other: for euery man that exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shalbe exalted.
15 Ndji ba basi'a nji mri tsitsa ni du sa wo ni tu mba, i mri koh bi nduma ba to ba nda puaha tre.
They brought vnto him also babes that he should touche them. And when his disciples sawe it, they rebuked them.
16 I Yesu a yo ba ye ni kpama nda tre ndi, “Du mri bi tsitsa ba ye nime, na zu ba na. Ikoh Irji ni shulu a wu biwa ba he to mba.
But Iesus called them vnto him, and said, Suffer the babes to come vnto mee, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdome of God.
17 Tre njanji, ndji wa na kpa ikoh Irji to mri bi tsitsa na, ana ri mi na.
Verely I say vnto you, whosoeuer receiueth not the kingdome of God as a babe, he shall not enter therein.
Then a certaine ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what ought I to doe, to inherite eternall life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu a hal wu ndi, “Nitu ngye wu yome ndji ndindi? Ndrjo na ndindi na se Irji kankle ma.
And Iesus said vnto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, saue one, euen God.
20 Bi toh doka Irji na tie nka na, na wu ndji na, na y'bi na, na nu sheda che na, wo tre time mba yime.”
Thou knowest the comandements, Thou shalt not commit adulterie: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 Ichu a tre ndi “Mi zi hu kpi bi mba wawuu rhi ni nzemu.”
And hee saide, All these haue I kept from my youth.
22 Yesu a woo nda tre ndi ikpe riri rhi don, hi le ni kpi wandi wu he niwu ni gah ni bi ya, i wu he ni lada ni shulu, ni ye huma.”
Nowe when Iesus heard that, he saide vnto him, Yet lackest thou one thing. Sell all that euer thou hast, and distribute vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come follow mee.
23 Ni wa ichu a wo tre, a loh suron kpukpome, nitu ana ndji wu wo.
But when he heard those things, he was very heauie: for he was marueilous riche.
24 Ni wa Yesu a toh kma ti gbon me ni lo suron (gbugbu chiche tre vunvu ni Greek ba sa tu tre ndi a kma ta lo suron/ama gbugbu bari bana he ni lan kima na), a tre ndi, “Ani he ni du du ndi wu wo du rhi ni koh Irji.
And when Iesus sawe him very sorowfull, he said, With what difficultie shall they that haue riches, enter into the kingdome of God!
25 A he ni du ni ndi wu wo du ri ni koh Irji, zan du ra kumi ri zu ni shishi n'ro.”
Surely it is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye, then for a riche man to enter into the kingdome of God.
26 Bi wa basi'a wa'a ba tre ndji. “I nha ni nawo?”
Then said they that heard it, And who then can be saued?
27 Yesu a sa ndi “Ikpi wa ba he ni iya tie ni ndji bana he ni iya ni Irji na.”
And he said, The things which are vnpossible with men, are possible with God.
28 Bitrus ngame a tre ndi, “Toh, ki bri wawu kpi mbu ndi hu.”
Then Peter said, Loe, we haue left all, and haue followed thee.
29 Yesu a kma tre ni ba ndi “Njanji, mi hla yiwu, ba ndji wa a don ikoh ma, ko wama, ko mri vayi ma, ko ba ti ma, ko ni mri ma nitu ikoh Irji,
And he said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the kingdome of Gods sake,
31 A yo ndji wlon-don-ha ba ye ni kpama nda hla bawu ndi, “Toh, ki si yi ni Wurushelima, i wawu kpi wa anabawa ba tere nitu Vren Ndji'a ba tie toki.
Then Iesus tooke vnto him ye twelue, and said vnto them, Beholde, we goe vp to Hierusalem, and all things shalbe fulfilled to the Sonne of man, that are writttn by the Prophets.
32 Ba banwu nu biwa bana mri Israila na, ba nzau, nda nu shan nda ju nte sru niwu.
For he shall be deliuered vnto the Gentiles, and shalbe mocked, and shalbe spitefully entreated, and shalbe spitted on.
33 Ba ti tsiwu, ba wuu, i ni vi wu tra ani lunde.”
And when they haue scourged him, they will put him to death: but the thirde day hee shall rise againe.
34 Ba na mla to ikpi biyi na, i lan tre ana ri nibawu, niki bana mla toh ikpi wa a tre na.
But they vnderstood none of these things, and this saying was hidde from them, neither perceiued they the things, which were spoken.
35 Niwa Yesu a ye wiewire ni Yeriko ndji wu infyen ri a son si bre ni nyu nkon,
And it came to passe, that as he was come neere vnto Iericho, a certaine blinde man sate by the way side, begging.
36 ni wo kpaa ndji basi zren ni zu whiwhre niwu, a mye ka ngye si zren.
And when he heard the people passe by, he asked what it meant.
37 Ba hla wu ndi Yesu wu Nazarat-akasi hi.
And they saide vnto him, that Iesus of Nazareth passed by.
38 Ndji wu infyen a yra gro nda hla ndi, “Yesu Vren Dawuda, ya me ni lo suron.”
Then hee cried, saying, Iesus the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on me.
39 Bi wa bisi'a zren ni ko shishi ba puatre ni ndji wu infyen nda hla niwu du son gbangbi. A kama nda si kpa gro ndi, “Vren Dawuda, ya me ni lo suron.”
And they which went before, rebuked him that he shoulde holde his peace, but he cried much more, O Sone of Dauid, haue mercie on me.
40 Yesu a kri kpenme nda nu tre du ba ji igu'a ye niwu. Niwa ndji wu infyen a ye whiwhre, Yesu a mye ndi,
And Iesus stoode stil, and commanded him to be brought vnto him. And when he was come neere, he asked him,
41 “Wu son du mi ti ngye ni wu?” A tre ndi, “Bachi, mi son toh ni shishi mu.”
Saying, What wilt thou that I doe vnto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receiue my sight.
42 Yesu a hla niwu ndi, “Kpa toh ni shishi me, kpanyime me a nu si kpa.
And Iesus said vnto him, Receiue thy sight: thy faith hath saued thee.
43 Hari, a toh ni shishima nda hu si yo ise ni nzu nde Irji.
Then immediatly he receiued his sight, and followed him, praysing God: and all the people, when they sawe this, gaue praise to God.
