< Luke 6 >

1 A he ni vi u Sabat u Yesu si zu ni rju kpu u mrli ko ma baka wro wlo kpu'a won ni wo mba, nda tan.
And it came to pass on [the] second-first sabbath, that he went through cornfields, and his disciples were plucking the ears and eating [them], rubbing [them] in their hands.
2 Amma Farisawa ba ri ba tre, “Ani tu ngye rli bi ki tie kpie'a bana nyme ndu ba tie'u ni Sabat na?”
But some of the Pharisees said to them, Why do ye what is not lawful to do on the sabbath?
3 Yesu, ni tre ma, a kasa bawu, “Bi na kra kpie'a Dauda ni lilon bi wa ba he ni wu ba tie'a na?
And Jesus answering said to them, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did when he hungered, he and those who were with him,
4 A ri ni tra Irji nda ban bredi wa ba ka zi, tan nda nno ndji wa ba he ni wu'a tan ngame, wandi a na he ni tu nkon na, don ana Prist nkankle ba tan.”
how he entered into the house of God and took the shewbread and ate, and gave to those also who were with him, which it is not lawful that [any] eat, unless the priests alone?
5 Niki a hla bawu, “Vuvren ndi a baci u Sabat.”
And he said to them, The Son of man is Lord of the sabbath also.
6 Ba he u Sabat ri la ye, Yesu ka hi tsro ba ni tra Irji. Indi ri he ki nda so wo.
And it came to pass on another sabbath also that he entered into the synagogue and taught; and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.
7 Bi nha ni Farisawa ba yo shishi nda to ka ani den dio ni vi u sabat, don ndu ba renyu niwu.
And the scribes and the Pharisees were watching if he would heal on the sabbath, that they might find something of which to accuse him.
8 Amma wa'a to dri mba nda tre ni indi u son wo'a, “Wlunde ye kukru ni tsutsu ndi ni wa.” Igu u soh wo a wlu hi ka kri ni ki.
But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Get up, and stand in the midst. And having risen up he stood [there].
9 Yesu tre ni ba, “Mi mye yi, Ahe tu nkon ndu ba tie zizi ka meme ni Sabat, ndu ba n'ra rai kpa ka ndu ba kpa tie meme?”
Jesus therefore said to them, I will ask you if it is lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy [it]?
10 Niki yi, a ya ba kagon wawu'u nda hla ni guwa, “N'me wo me rju ra.” A tie toki u wo'a ka tie ndindi.
And having looked around on them all, he said to him, Stretch out thy hand. And he did [so] and his hand was restored as the other.
11 Amma ba vra nfu nda tre ni kpamba ko ba tie Yesu ni he.
But they were filled with madness, and they spoke together among themselves what they should do to Jesus.
12 Ba zi he wa ka ye hon hi ngblu nda ka bre Irji. A ban Chu'a wawu-u bre Irji.
And it came to pass in those days that he went out into the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God.
13 Wa imble nhra, a yo mri koh ma hi kpama nda ju wlon don ha rji mi mba, a yo ba ndi Mazani.
And when it was day he called his disciples, and having chosen out twelve from them, whom also he named apostles:
14 Ba nde Mazani ana ba Siman ( wa a hi Bitrus ngame'a) u vayi ma Andarawus, Yakubu, Yohana, Filibus, Batalomiyu,
Simon, to whom also he gave the name of Peter, and Andrew his brother, [and] James and John, [and] Philip and Bartholomew,
15 Matiyu, Toma, Yakubu ivren Alfaus, Siman wa ba yo Zilot,
[and] Matthew and Thomas, James the [son] of Alphaeus and Simon who was called Zealot,
16 Yahuda ivren Yakubu ni Yahuda Iskaroti, wa a ye le wu'a.
[and] Judas [brother] of James, and Judas Iscariote, who was also [his] betrayer;
17 Yesu a grji ngblu'a baba hi ka kri ni meme ni kpentren ndi wa ba mri koh ma u ni gbugbu ndji wa ba rji ni Yahudiya ni Wurushelima ni bi nyu kikle nne u Taya mba Sidon.
and having descended with them, he stood on a level place, and a crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judaea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
18 Ba ye ndi wa wo Yesu nda ndu den lilo mba ngame. Indji wa ba zi tiya ni wo brji'a ba kpa den.
and those that were beset by unclean spirits were healed.
19 Ko nha ni j'bu ndi ba n'ra kon u kpre don gbengblen u den si'a rju rji ni wu, u wa a den ndji mba wawu'u.
And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power went out from him and healed all.
20 A kaya mri koh ma ba nda tre, “Bi hi bi lulu, biyi bi ya, don mulki Irji a hi u mbi.
And he, lifting up his eyes upon his disciples, said, Blessed [are] ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Bi hi bi lulu biyi bi tie yon zizan'a, don bi wrji. Bi hi bi lulu biyi wa bi yi zizan'a, don bi nza.
Blessed ye that hunger now, for ye shall be filled. Blessed ye that weep now, for ye shall laugh.
22 Bi hi bi lulu niwa indji bata kran yi, u idan ba ba ya'yi hlega nda mre yi nda kamba ni nde mbi a nda u brji, nitu Ivren Irji.
Blessed are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you [from them], and shall reproach [you], and cast out your name as wicked, for the Son of man's sake:
23 Ngyri ni vi ki ndi briku don ba han ye kikle di ni shulu, e ba Bachi mba ba tie bi kpie ki ni Anabawa ba.
rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in the heaven, for after this manner did their fathers act toward the prophets.
24 Amma iya mbi bi woh, biyi wa bi kpa si mbi ye.
But woe to you rich, for ye have received your consolation.
25 Iya mbi bi hi wa bi wrji zizan, iyon ni ye tie yi ni ko shishi.
Woe to you that are filled, for ye shall hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for ye shall mourn and weep.
26 Iya mbi biyi wa ba tre ndindi ni tu mbi'a, a he toki ba bachi mba batie ni Anabawa bi ce.
Woe, when all men speak well of you, for after this manner did their fathers to the false prophets.
27 Amma mi hla yiwu wa bi ki sren ton, son bi kamba yi din tie zizi ni bi kran yi.
But to you that hear I say, Love your enemies; do good to those that hate you;
28 Tie lulu ni bi mre yi ndi bre Irji ni bi ka to tie yiwu.
bless those that curse you; pray for those who use you despitefully.
29 Niu wa nita wru ni ngbala nh'ma kori, uka nno rima, u wanda ban klon me ri, uka nno ri tiya.
To him that smites thee on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him that would take away thy garment, forbid not thy body-coat also.
30 Nno indji wa a mye u. Idio nita ban kpie me, na mye ndu ka nno wu ngana.
To every one that asks of thee, give; and from him that takes away what is thine, ask it not back.
31 To wa u son don ndji tie wu tie ki bawu me.
And as ye wish that men should do to you, do ye also to them in like manner.
32 U ta son ndji wa ba son wu, wa hi ngyeri ndindi niwu? I bi latre ba tie toki me.
And if ye love those that love you, what thank is it to you? for even sinners love those that love them.
33 U ta tie ndindi ni biwa ba tie ndindi wu'a, a ngye u bi ma niwu. E indji bi latre ba tie toki me.
And if ye do good to those that do good to you, what thank is it to you? for even sinners do the same.
34 U tie nno hla nklen ni ndji wa u to ani ye han wu, wahi kpiew ngye ndindi ni wu? U bi latre'a ba nno hla ni bi latre nda kpa ikpie'a ba na nno.
And if ye lend to those from whom ye hope to receive, what thank is it to you? [for] even sinners lend to sinners that they may receive the like.
35 Amma son biwa bana nyme ni wuna ndi tie zizi bawu. Nno hla, hamma ni yo suron ula kpa kpie tuma, u di me ni babran, u bi he mri Madaukaki, wandi wawu me ani toh tie ni bi wa ba ka ngyri nda meme ndji.
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return, and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be sons of [the] Highest; for he is good to the unthankful and wicked.
36 He ni dri ndindi na tie mbi.
Be ye therefore merciful, even as your Father also is merciful.
37 Na han tre tu rina, u bana han tre nitu me nan. Na kpa ri tie meme na, u bana kpau tie meme na. Wruhle ni bari, u ba wruhle niwu.
And judge not, and ye shall not be judged; condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned. Remit, and it shall be remitted to you.
38 Nno, u ba nno yi. Nene rhigra ma, uwa ba den nda grju mudu'a, ka shukuhle ni gban mbi. Ani mudu wawu tsra niwu, a ni kii ba tsra ni wu.”
Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall be given into your bosom: for with the same measure with which ye mete it shall be measured to you again.
39 A hla misali ri ni bawu, “Indji u nfyen ni tsro ndji u nfyen ri nkon? To a tie naki, ba bi ku ni juju, ka bana kuna?
And he spoke also a parable to them: Can a blind [man] lead a blind [man]? shall not both fall into [the] ditch?
40 Ivren wa ani kpa tsro na zan asi tsro wu'a na, amma dun ndji wa ba tsro wu kle'a ani he na indji waa tsro'a.
The disciple is not above his teacher, but every one that is perfected shall be as his teacher.
41 Bi tie he mu ndi ni ya vi bi giga wa ahe ni shishi vayi me, ndina toh kikle nkpon wandi ahe ni shishi me'a na?
But why lookest thou on the mote which is in the eye of thy brother, but perceivest not the beam which is in thine own eye?
42 U tie he ndi hla vayi me, 'Vayi, dume cu vi bi giga u shishi me,' i wu tume una to gbongbon u shishi me na? Iwu ndji u karji. Guci cu gbogbon u shishi me rju rhi ndi mla ya u wa ahi ni shishi vayi me.
or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, allow [me], I will cast out the mote that is in thine eye, thyself not seeing the beam that is in thine eye? Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine eye, and then thou shalt see clear to cast out the mote which is in the eye of thy brother.
43 E bana tie nkunkro ndindi mawa iklo ma ba gigla ma na, u gigla nkunkron na nno klo ndindi ma na.
For there is no good tree which produces corrupt fruit, nor a corrupt tree which produces good fruit;
44 E ba to nkunkron ni klo ma. E indji bana kyen klo ncu ni nci ncoh na, ume bana kyen klo grapes rji ni miji braya na.
for every tree is known by its own fruit, for figs are not gathered from thorns, nor grapes vintaged from a bramble.
45 Indji ndindi rji ni suron ma ndindi ani tie kpi bi ndindima, u meme ndji rji ni meme suron ma ni tie meme kpi. Don rji ni gbugbu kpie bi mi suron inyu ma ni hla.
The good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, brings forth good; and the wicked [man] out of the wicked, brings forth what is wicked: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
46 Nitu ngye bi yome, 'Bachi, Bachi,' u bina tie kpie'a wame tre na?
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things that I say?
47 Indji wa aye nime nda wo lan tre mu nda tie kpe wa mi tre'a, Mi hla ni yiwu ka ahi nha.
Every one that comes to me, and hears my words and does them, I will shew you to whom he is like.
48 Ahe na ndi wasi meh koh nda shi juju u nci tra ri meme nda meh nci tra ni tu inha. Toh ima aye babran nda ri ni nci tra, u ana tie'u kpe na, nitu ba meh wu bi.
He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock; but a great rain coming, the stream broke upon that house, and could not shake it, for it had been founded on the rock.
49 Amma indji wa ani wo tre mu nda na tie bana, ahe na ndji wa a meh tra ni tu meme hamma ni zi nci tra. Ima aye babran nda ri ni nci tra'a, u koh'a tie gbla zi hle kpukpru wu.
And he that has heard and not done, is like a man who has built a house on the ground without [a] foundation, on which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the breach of that house was great.
