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.
Now it happened on a second-first Sabbath that He was passing through the grain fields, and His disciples began to pick and eat the heads of grain, 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 are you doing that which 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?
So in answer to them Jesus said: “Have you not even read this, what David did when he was hungry, 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 went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and even gave it to those with him—that which only the priests are allowed to eat?”
5 Niki a hla bawu, “Vuvren ndi a baci u Sabat.”
Then He said to them, “The Son of the Man is Lord even of the Sabbath!”
6 Ba he u Sabat ri la ye, Yesu ka hi tsro ba ni tra Irji. Indi ri he ki nda so wo.
Now it happened on a different Sabbath that He entered the synagogue and began to teach. Well there was a man there whose right hand was shriveled;
7 Bi nha ni Farisawa ba yo shishi nda to ka ani den dio ni vi u sabat, don ndu ba renyu niwu.
so the scribes and the Pharisees started watching, to see if He would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against 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 with the shriveled hand, “Get up and stand in the center.” So he got up and stood.
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?”
Then Jesus said to them: “I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?”
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 when He had looked around at them all, He said to him, “Stretch out your hand!” So he did that, and his hand was restored, as sound as the other.
11 Amma ba vra nfu nda tre ni kpamba ko ba tie Yesu ni he.
But they were filled with rage, and began to discuss with one another what they might 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.
Now it happened in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and He continued all 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.
When it was day He called His disciples, and from them He chose twelve, whom He also named apostles:
14 Ba nde Mazani ana ba Siman ( wa a hi Bitrus ngame'a) u vayi ma Andarawus, Yakubu, Yohana, Filibus, Batalomiyu,
Simon (whom He also named Peter) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Phillip and Bartholomew,
15 Matiyu, Toma, Yakubu ivren Alfaus, Siman wa ba yo Zilot,
Matthew and Thomas, James (the son of Alphaeus) and Simon (the one called ‘Zealot’),
16 Yahuda ivren Yakubu ni Yahuda Iskaroti, wa a ye le wu'a.
Judas of James and Judas Iscariot (who also became ‘traitor’).
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.
Then He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, also from the seacoast 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.
as well as those who were being harassed by unclean spirits—and they were being 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.
So the whole crowd kept trying to touch Him, because power was going out from Him and was healing all.
20 A kaya mri koh ma ba nda tre, “Bi hi bi lulu, biyi bi ya, don mulki Irji a hi u mbi.
Then He raised His eyes toward His disciples and said: “Blessed are you poor, because the Kingdom of God is yours.
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 are you who hunger now, because you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, because you will 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 you whenever men hate you, and whenever they exclude you and heap insults on you and trash your name as ‘malignant’, for the Son of the 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 skip about! Because your reward really is great in Heaven; for that is how their fathers treated the prophets.
24 Amma iya mbi bi woh, biyi wa bi kpa si mbi ye.
“But woe to you who are rich! because you have already received your comfort.
25 Iya mbi bi hi wa bi wrji zizan, iyon ni ye tie yi ni ko shishi.
Woe to you who are full! because you will go hungry. Woe to you who are presently laughing! because you will 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 that is how their fathers treated the false prophets!
27 Amma mi hla yiwu wa bi ki sren ton, son bi kamba yi din tie zizi ni bi kran yi.
“Further, to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you;
28 Tie lulu ni bi mre yi ndi bre Irji ni bi ka to tie yiwu.
bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
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 who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold the tunic as well.
30 Nno indji wa a mye u. Idio nita ban kpie me, na mye ndu ka nno wu ngana.
Give to everyone who asks of you; and from him who takes away your things, do not demand them back.
31 To wa u son don ndji tie wu tie ki bawu me.
Yes, like you want people to treat you, that is just how you must treat them.
32 U ta son ndji wa ba son wu, wa hi ngyeri ndindi niwu? I bi latre ba tie toki me.
Also, if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even ‘sinners’ love those who 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 you do good to those doing good to you, what credit is that to you? 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 you lend to those from whom you expect to get it back, what credit is that to you? Even ‘sinners’ lend to ‘sinners’, to receive an equal value back.
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.
“So, love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; because He is kind toward the ungrateful and wicked.
36 He ni dri ndindi na tie mbi.
So be compassionate, even as your Father is compassionate.
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.
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
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 will be given to you: a good measure—pressed down and shaken together and running over—will they deposit in your lap. Because with the same measure that you use it will be measured back to you.”
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?
Then He told them a parable: “Can a blind man guide a blind man? Will they not both fall into a 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.
A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like 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?
Why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank that is in your 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 can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother's eye.
43 E bana tie nkunkro ndindi mawa iklo ma ba gigla ma na, u gigla nkunkron na nno klo ndindi ma na.
“Now no good tree produces rotten fruit, nor does a rotten tree produce 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.
—each tree is known by its own fruit: people do not gather figs from thorn bushes, nor do they pick a bunch of grapes 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 produces the good out of the good treasure in his heart, and the malignant man produces the malignant out of the malignant treasure in his heart; because his mouth speaks out of the abundance of the heart.
46 Nitu ngye bi yome, 'Bachi, Bachi,' u bina tie kpie'a wame tre na?
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord’, and not do what 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.
Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them—I will show you who 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 down deep and laid the foundation on the bedrock. When a flood occurred, the torrent burst upon that house but could not shake it, because it was founded on the bedrock.
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.
But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built his house on the ground without a foundation, against which the torrent burst, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.”
