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.
On the second major Sabbath, Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples were plucking heads of grain, rubbing off the husks in their hands, and eating them.
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 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?
Jesus answered them, “Have you not read 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 entered the house of God and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which is not lawful for anyone to eat except for the priests, and how he also gave it to those who were with him?”
5 Niki a hla bawu, “Vuvren ndi a baci u Sabat.”
Then he said to them, “The Son of 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.
On another Sabbath, Jesus went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose 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.
Now the scribes and the Pharisees were watching Jesus closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they could 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 withered hand, “Rise and stand here.” So he rose and 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?”
Then Jesus said to them, “Let me 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 after looking around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out yoʋr hand.” The man did so, and his hand was restored, becoming as sound as the other.
11 Amma ba vra nfu nda tre ni kpamba ko ba tie Yesu ni he.
But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with mindless rage and discussed 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.
One day soon afterward Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and spent the whole 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 daybreak came, he called his disciples and chose twelve from among them, 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, Philip and Bartholomew,
15 Matiyu, Toma, Yakubu ivren Alfaus, Siman wa ba yo Zilot,
Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon (who was called the Zealot),
16 Yahuda ivren Yakubu ni Yahuda Iskaroti, wa a ye le wu'a.
Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot (who became a 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 Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. A crowd of his disciples was there along with a great multitude of people from all Judea, Jerusalem, and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon (who had come 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 people who were harassed by unclean spirits. And they 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.
The entire crowd was trying to touch him, because power was coming out from him and healing them 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 looked up at his disciples and said, “Blessed are you who are 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 are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for 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 when others hate you, when they exclude you, reproach you, and spurn your name as evil on account of the Son of Man.
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, great is your reward in heaven, for their fathers treated the prophets in the same way.
24 Amma iya mbi bi woh, biyi wa bi kpa si mbi ye.
But woe to you who are rich, for you have 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 filled, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for 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 to you when others speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.
27 Amma mi hla yiwu wa bi ki sren ton, son bi kamba yi din tie zizi ni bi kran yi.
“But I say to you who are listening, 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, and 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.
If anyone strikes yoʋ on one cheek, offer him the other also. If anyone takes away yoʋr cloak, do not withhold yoʋr tunic from him either.
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 yoʋ, and if anyone takes away yoʋr belongings, do not demand them back.
31 To wa u son don ndji tie wu tie ki bawu me.
As you wish that others would do to you, do the same also to them.
32 U ta son ndji wa ba son wu, wa hi ngyeri ndindi niwu? I bi latre ba tie toki me.
If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For 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 who do good to you, what benefit is that 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 you lend to those from whom you expect to receive something back, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners lend to other sinners in order to receive back the same amount.
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, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting anything in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.
36 He ni dri ndindi na tie mbi.
Therefore be merciful, just as your Father 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.
“Do not judge, and you will certainly not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will certainly 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, shaken together, and running over, will be put into your lap. For with the same measure you use it will be measured to you in return.”
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?
He also told them a parable: “Can one blind person guide another? Will they not both fall into a pit?
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 yoʋ see the speck in yoʋr brother's eye, but do not consider the beam in yoʋr 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 yoʋ say to yoʋr brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of yoʋr eye,’ when yoʋ yoʋrself do not see the beam in yoʋr own eye? Hypocrite! First take the beam out of yoʋr own eye, and then yoʋ will see clearly to take the speck out of yoʋr 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.
“No good tree produces bad fruit, nor does a bad 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 thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a bramble bush.
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 person brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil person brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart, for out of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaks.
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.
I will show you what someone is like who comes to me, hears my words, and acts on them.
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 deep and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood came, the river burst against that house but could not shake it, for it was 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.
But he who hears my words and does not act accordingly is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. As soon as the river burst against that house, it fell and was utterly destroyed.”
