And he put forth a similitude vnto the signifyinge that men ought alwayes to praye and not to be wery
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.
sayinge: Ther was a Iudge in a certayne cite which feared not god nether regarded 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 ther was a certayne wedowe in the same cite which came vnto him sayinge: avenge me of myne adversary.
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 he wolde not for a whyle. But afterwarde he sayd vnto him selfe: though I feare not God nor care for 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 wedowe troubleth me I will avenge her lest at the laste she come and hagge on me.
6 I Bachi a tre ndi “wo tre andi ndji wa ana han tre njanji na a hla.
And the lorde sayd: heare what the vnrightewes Iudge sayeth.
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?
And shall not god avenge his electe which crye daye and nyght vnto him ye though he differre 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 avenge them and that quickly. Neverthelesse when the sonne of man cometh suppose ye that he shall fynde faithe on the erthe.
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,
And he put forthe this similitude vnto certayne which trusted in the selves yt they were perfecte and despysed 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 ye teple to praye: ye 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 stode and prayed thus wt him selfe. God I thanke the yt I am not as other men are extorsioners vniuste advoutrers or 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 twyse in ye weke. I geve tythe of all that 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.”
And the publican stode afarre of and wolde not lyfte vp his eyes to heven but smote his brest sayinge: God be mercyfull to me a synner.
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.”

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.”
When Iesus hearde that he sayde vnto him: Yet lackest thou one thinge. Sell all that thou hast and distribute it vnto the poore and thou shalt have treasure in heven and come and folowe me.
23 Ni wa ichu a wo tre, a loh suron kpukpome, nitu ana ndji wu wo.
When he heard that he was hevy: for he was very ryche.
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.
