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-sabbath after the first, that as He was passing through the corn-fields, his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and rubbed them in their hands and ate 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?”
And some of the pharisees said to them, Why do ye do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath-days?
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 them said, Have ye not read what David did, when he himself was hungry and those that were with him? how he went into the house of God,
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.”
and did take and eat the shew-bread, and gave also to his attendants, which it is not lawful for any to eat but the priests.
5 Niki a hla bawu, “Vuvren ndi a baci u Sabat.”
And He said unto 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.
And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that He went into a synagogue and taught; and there was a man 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.
And the scribes and pharisees watched Him to see if He would work a cure on the sabbath: 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 that had the withered hand, Rise, and stand in the midst: and he rose up and stood forth.
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 said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing, Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to let it be lost?
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 looking round upon them all, He said to the man, Stretch out thine hand: and he did so, and his hand was made as sound as the other.
11 Amma ba vra nfu nda tre ni kpamba ko ba tie Yesu ni he.
And they were filled with confusion: and consulted together, 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.
And in those days He went out to a 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.
And when it was day, He called his disciples to Him: and chose out twelve from among them, whom He also named his apostles:
14 Ba nde Mazani ana ba Siman ( wa a hi Bitrus ngame'a) u vayi ma Andarawus, Yakubu, Yohana, Filibus, Batalomiyu,
(to wit, Simon called 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 Alpheus, and Simon called Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James,
16 Yahuda ivren Yakubu ni Yahuda Iskaroti, wa a ye le wu'a.
and Judas Iscariot, who was the 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.
and He came down the hill with them, and stood in the plain; with the rest of his disciples, and a great multitude of people from all the parts of Judea, and from Jerusalem, and from the 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.
even those that were tormented by impure 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.
And all the people endeavoured to touch Him, for there went a divine virtue out of Him, and healed 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.
And lifting up his eyes on his disciples He said, Blessed are ye though poor; for 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 ye that hunger now; for ye shall be satisfied. Blessed are 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 reject you, and reproach you, and cast out your name as infamous 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 be exceeding glad; for behold, your reward is great in heaven: for thus did their fathers to the prophets.
24 Amma iya mbi bi woh, biyi wa bi kpa si mbi ye.
But wo unto you that are rich; for ye have received your consolation.
25 Iya mbi bi hi wa bi wrji zizan, iyon ni ye tie yi ni ko shishi.
Wo unto you that are full; for ye shall be hungry. Wo unto you that 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.
Wo unto you when all men speak well of you; for their fathers did the same 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 I say unto you my hearers, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you,
28 Tie lulu ni bi mre yi ndi bre Irji ni bi ka to tie yiwu.
bless them that curse you, and pray for them that abuse 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 that smiteth thee on the one cheek, offer also the other; and let him that taketh away thy cloke, have thy coat too rather than strive with him:
30 Nno indji wa a mye u. Idio nita ban kpie me, na mye ndu ka nno wu ngana.
give to him that asketh thee, and from him that taketh thy goods on loan demand nothing.
31 To wa u son don ndji tie wu tie ki bawu me.
And as ye would 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.
If ye love only them that love you, what thanks are due to you? for even the wicked 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 offices to them that do good to you, what thanks are due to you? for even wicked men 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 expect to receive, what thanks are due to you? for sinners also lend to sinners that they may receive an equivalent.
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 do ye love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing from it: and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the sons of the most High; for He is kind even to the ungrateful and the wicked:
36 He ni dri ndindi na tie mbi.
be ye therefore merciful as your heavenly 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.
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall 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 shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed and shaken down and running over, shall they give into your bosom: for by the same measure, which ye measure with, shall it be measured back again 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?
And He said to them by way of 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.
the learner is not above his teacher, tho' every complete scholar will become as learned as his master.
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 dost thou look at the chaff in thy brother's eye, and takest no notice of the beam that is in thine own?
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 let me take out the splinter that is in thine eye, when thou thyself seest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first take out the beam from thine own eye, and then thou wilt see distinctly how to take out the chaff that is in thy 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.
For that is not a good tree which produceth bad fruit, nor is the tree bad, which produceth 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 it's fruit; for men do not gather figs from thorns, nor 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.
A good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man, out of the evil treasure of his heart, bringeth forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
46 Nitu ngye bi yome, 'Bachi, Bachi,' u bina tie kpie'a wame tre na?
But why do ye call me, Lord, Lord, and do not practise what I teach you?
47 Indji wa aye nime nda wo lan tre mu nda tie kpe wa mi tre'a, Mi hla ni yiwu ka ahi nha.
Whosoever cometh unto me, and heareth my instructions, and observeth 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 who in building an house digged deep, and laid the foundation upon a rock; and when a flood came, the torrent beat violently against that house, but could not shake it, for it was founded upon a 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 that heareth and observeth not, is like a man that built an house upon the ground without any foundation, which the flood beat violently upon, and immediately it fell down, and the ruin of that house was great.
