Luke 11
1 And it happened that, while he was in a certain place praying, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”
Naki Yesu a si'a bre Irji ni bubu ri, ni-andi a kle bre'a, iri ni mri koh ma bi hu'a a tre ni wu ndi, “Bachi, tsro ta kini toh bre bib-andi Yohana a tsro mri koh bi hu'a.
2 And he said to them: “When you are praying, say: Father, may your name be kept holy. May your kingdom come.
Yesu a hla bawu ndi, “Bita bre, bika tre ndi, 'Iti mbu, du ndeme ndu kpa ninkon. Du ikoh Irji ni shulu du ye.
3 Give us this day our daily bread.
Nu ta biri mbu wu vi chachu.
4 And forgive us our sins, since we also forgive all who are indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.”
Wru latre mbu hlega, toh-andi ki wru hle ni ko nha wandi a rhi ihla mbu. Na duta rjoku ni tsra na.'”
5 And he said to them: “Which of you will have a friend and will go to him in the middle of the night, and will say to him: ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,
Yesu a hla ni bawu ndi, nnha mbi ani he ni kpan wandi ani hi niwu ni tsutsu chu ndahi bre ndi “Ikpanmu, nne ihla bredi tra,
6 because a friend of mine has arrived from a journey to me, and I do not have anything to set before him.’
nitu ikpanma ri a ye wru sru zizan rji ni zren, i mina he ni ikpe wandi minu ri na.
7 And from within, he would answer by saying: ‘Do not disturb me. The door is closed now, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up and give it to you.’
Wawu wandi a he ni miko ma a sa niwu nda tre ndi, na nne yratu na. Mi tronkon mu ye, i mri mu ni me ki ri kruna ye. Mina la lunde ni nu bredi na.”
8 Yet if he will persevere in knocking, I tell you that, even though he would not get up and give it to him because he is a friend, yet due to his continued insistence, he will get up and give him whatever he needs.
Mi hla ni yiwu, anita na lunde nda nu bredi nitu wu kpanma na, nitu kri nhatu myeme, ani lunde nda nhu gbugbu bredi wandi wu wa'a.
9 And so I say to you: Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you.
Mi la hla ni yiwu, mye ba nuhi, wa i bi to, wru nkon, i ba bwu ni yiwu.
10 For everyone who asks, receives. And whoever seeks, finds. And whoever knocks, it shall be opened to him.
Ndji wandi ani mye, ni waa anito, i ndji a wru ba bwu niwu.
11 So then, who among you, if he asks his father for bread, he would give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he would give him a serpent, instead of a fish?
Iti nha ni mi mbi, vren ma nita mye ni du nu lambe ani ban iwan nu nitu lambe? Chiche nvunvu bi sen bari nha ba hi nkpurju, i bari wu mba gbron, toh ikpe wandi ba nha ni Matta 7:9. Iti rime ni mi mbi wa ivren nita mye bredi waka ban tita nu? Ka anita mye lambe ka ban iwan nu?
12 Or if he will ask for an egg, he would offer to him a scorpion?
Ka anita mye inchen'ko waka ban illan nu?
13 Therefore, if you, being evil, know how to give good things to your sons, how much more will your Father give, from heaven, a spirit of goodness to those who ask him?”
Ni kima, biyi bi meme dri bita toh nu mri mbi ikpi bi ndindi, nitu ngye Itimbi ni shulu na nuyi Ruhu Tsatsra ma ni ko nha wandi a mye na?”
14 And he was casting out a demon, and the man was mute. But when he had cast out the demon, the mute man spoke, and so the crowds were amazed.
Yesu asi'azu brji mamgbi ri ni rju brji ni kpa ma, Igu'a ani mamgbi a lu kri tre, i kpa ndji biwa ba he niki ba bwu nyu yo ra ni sissri.
15 But some of them said, “It is by Beelzebub, the leader of demons, that he casts out demons.”
I ndji bari nimi mba ba tre ndi Beelzebul, ninkon brji ba si zu brji mba ni rju
16 And others, testing him, required a sign from heaven of him.
Bari ba tsra ni du ba toh alama rji ni shulu.
17 But when he perceived their thoughts, he said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself will become desolate, and house will fall upon house.
Yesu a toh kpe-andi a si zren ni suron mba nda tre ndi, “Khikle Koh andi a yra kpama ni kpama, ani yra kado, i ikoh wandi a yra tuma ni tuma ani zii rjoku.
18 So then, if Satan is also divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that it is by Beelzebub that I cast out demons.
Shetan nita ga kpama ni kpama, hikle koma tie he nda kri? Bita toh ndi mi zu brji rju ni Beelzebul.
19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your own sons cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges.
Mita zu brji rju ni Beelzebul, i bi wa ba huyi ba zu ba ni nha? Nitu wayi, baba yi ba ga tre ni yiwu.
20 Moreover, if it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then certainly the kingdom of God has overtaken you.
Mita zu brji ni rju ni vren-wo Irji, nikima, kikle koh Irji ni grji ye ni yi.
21 When a strong armed man guards his entrance, the things that he possesses are at peace.
Ndji wu gbengblen wandi a kri ni sro ni koh ma, ikpe koh ma ba nawo.
22 But if a stronger one, overwhelming him, has defeated him, he will take away all his weapons, in which he trusted, and he will distribute his spoils.
Ndji ri wandi a zan ni gbengbeln anita ye suu, wandi azan gbengble ani vu kpe wu sro ma wa ana yo suron niba nda vu kpi wu koh nda hi kpama.
23 Whoever is not with me, is against me. And whoever does not gather with me, scatters.
Wandi ana he nime na ana nyime nime na. I wa'a ana vu shubi ni me na, ni vre hle.
24 When an unclean spirit has departed from a man, he walks through waterless places, seeking rest. And not finding any, he says: ‘I will return to my house, from which I departed.’
Meme ibrji nita wru ni kpa ndji, a ni zren zu ni kuklu bubu nda wa bubu kuson. Anita na toh na, ani hlandi “Mi k'ma hi ni ko wandi mina he'a.”
25 And when he has arrived, he finds it swept clean and decorated.
Aniti k'ma ye nda toh ba se ikoh pempeme nda mla wu tie.
26 Then he goes, and he takes in seven other spirits with him, more wicked than himself, and they enter and live there. And so, the end of that man is made worse than the beginning.”
Ani k'ma hi yo brji tangba bari du ba hu ye son ni ko'a. I isran gu ni zan wandi a he ni mumla'a.
27 And it happened that, when he was saying these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breasts that nursed you.”
A he me, niwa a tre kpi biyi, iwa ri a d'bu hla nimi kpa'a ndji ba nda hla wu ndi, “Lulu ku ni nne wandi a ngrji wu, mba sisan wandi wu ma.”
28 Then he said, “Yes, but moreover: blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it.”
Wa a sa ni wu ndi, “Ni kima du lulu son nitu bi wandi ba wo tre Irji nda tie ndu (ziwu) ni wu.”
29 Then, as the crowds were quickly gathering, he began to say: “This generation is a wicked generation: it seeks a sign. But no sign will be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
Wa ndji ba basi bran nha, Yesu a lu si wa ndji, “Ik'ba biyi ba meme ik'ba. Ba wa ingba, i bana nuba ingba na - se ingba wu Jonah.
30 For just as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of man be to this generation.
Ni-andi Jonah ana ingba ni mi bi Ninevit, toki me, vren Ndji ani ingba ni k'ba yi.
31 The queen of the South will rise up, at the judgment, with the men of this generation, and she will condemn them. For she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold, more than Solomon is here.
Ichu-mba wu kogon ani lunde ni bla tre ni lilon wu k'ba yi nda lo ba, nitu a ye rhi ni gbagban meme, du ye wo wrji nyu Solomon, nda toh ndji wa a zan Solomon he niayi.
32 The men of Nineveh will rise up, at the judgment, with this generation, and they will condemn it. For at the preaching of Jonah, they repented. And behold, more than Jonah is here.
Ndji bi Nineve ba kri ni bla han tre ni k'ba ndji biyi, nda lo ba, nitu ba kpa tre Irji nda tan ntsan niwa ba wo tre Irji ni nyu Jonah, bi ka toh Ndji wa azan Jonah he ni yi.
33 No one lights a candle and places it in hiding, nor under a bushel basket, but upon a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.
A nha ni yo lu ni glogo nda ban ri ni sisen ndana ka sa ni tu kpe tsame na ni du bi ri miko du ba toh kpan lu.
34 Your eye is the light of your body. If your eye is wholesome, your entire body will be filled with light. But if it is wicked, then even your body will be darkened.
Shishi meyi hi glogo wu kpa me wawu. Shishi me nita bi, wawu kpame ni shu ni kpan-lu. U Shishi me nita na bi na, ikpa me wawu ni tie bwu.
35 Therefore, take care, lest the light that is within you become darkness.
Nikima, bi ka mla zren ni du ikpan mbi du na k'ma tie bwu na.
36 So then, if your entire body becomes filled with light, not having any part in darkness, then it will be entirely light, and, like a shining lamp, it will illuminate you.”
Ikpa mbi wawu niti na shu ni kpan-lu, ni hamma ngbala ri ni bwu, niki, kpa mbi wawu ani kpan toh glogo ni kpan-lu ma niwu.
37 And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee asked him to eat with him. And going inside, he sat down to eat.
Ni wa a kle tre'a, Farasi ri a mye'u du hu hi rhi biri ni koma, Yesu a kpa nyime nda hu'u.
38 But the Pharisee began to say, thinking within himself: “Why might it be that he has not washed before eating?”
Farasi a yi mamaki ni toh ndi Yesu ana ngla kpama ri nda son ni ba ni bubu rhi biri'a na.
39 And the Lord said to him: “You Pharisees today clean what is outside the cup and the plate, but what is inside of you is full of plunder and iniquity.
I Bachi a hla ni wu ndi, “Zizan, biyi Farasi bi ngla kogon vuvanho mba gbugba'a (kungo) nda don mima shu ni sontu ba meme kpi.
40 Fools! Did not he who made what is outside, indeed also make what is inside?
Biyi ndji bi kha toh, Ana wandi a tie kogon a tie mima ngame na?
41 Yet truly, give what is above as alms, and behold, all things are clean for you.
Nu kpi wandi ba he ni mi tu beko, i kpiba wawu ba rju pyempyen me niwu.
42 But woe to you, Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you ignore judgment and the charity of God. But these things you ought to have done, without omitting the others.
Iya mbi biyi Farasi, nitu bi nu zaka wlon mint mba rue, i mri vunvu bi koh p'ma, nina k'magon nu ti bi mba son Irji. Ani bi du yi zren bi ni son Irji, hamma ni mbru kpi ba ngame.
43 Woe to you, Pharisees! For you love the first seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the marketplace.
Iya mbi Farisawa, bi son bubu u son bi ko shishi ni sinagog mba kpa ichi bi nzu lu ni chuchu.
44 Woe to you! For you are like graves that are not noticeable, so that men walk over them without realizing it.”
Iya mbi, bi he toh ibe wandi bana chu tsro nkana, ndji ba hon zu ndana toh na.
45 Then one of the experts in the law, in response, said to him, “Teacher, in saying these things, you bring an insult against us as well.”
Iri nimi bi ninkon ni tre doka'a hla wu ndi, “Ticha, ikpi wandi wu tre a kpata tsri ngame.”
46 So he said: “And woe to you experts in the law! For you weigh men down with burdens which they are not able to bear, but you yourselves do not touch the weight with even one of your fingers.
Yesu a tre ndi, “Iya-mbi, Tichas bi doka! Bi yo kikle kpi ni ndji wandi ani tiba ya nji, ama ni na yo wo kpre ni vren wo mbi riri na.
47 Woe to you, who build the tombs of the prophets, while it is your fathers who killed them!
Iya-mbi, bi meh ibe ni anabawa, wa ba bachi-mbi ba wuba.
48 Clearly, you are testifying that you consent to the actions of your fathers, because even though they killed them, you build their sepulchers.
Niki biti shaida ni kpanyime ni ndu ba bachi-mbi'a, Baba yi ba wuba i biyi bi meh ibe mba.
49 Because of this also, the wisdom of God said: I will send to them Prophets and Apostles, and some of these they will kill or persecute,
Ni tu kima'a, wri Irji a tre ndi, 'Mi ton anabawa mba manzani ye ni ba, i ba tiba ya nda wu bari mba.
50 so that the blood of all the Prophets, which has been shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation:
Ik'ba biyi ye mi vu ba nitu iyi ba anabawa wandi ba ka hle rji ni mumla,
51 from the blood of Abel, even to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. So I say to you: it will be required of this generation!
rji ni iyi Habila, ye ni iyi Zakariya, wandi ba wu ba ni kpa bubu ton ba koh Irji. E, mi hla niwu, mi vu ik'ba yi ni tumba.
52 Woe to you, experts in the law! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves do not enter, and those who were entering, you would have prohibited.”
Iya-mbi bi zan toh tre Irji, bi ban ih'ra wu toh, nina ri ngame na, ni zu bi wandi bason ri'a.
53 Then, while he was saying these things to them, the Pharisees and the experts in the law began to insist strongly that he restrain his mouth about many things.
Ni wandi Yesu a bri bubu kima, marubuchi, baba Farisawa ba kri nda sen nyu ni wu nitu kpi gbugbuwu, nda son,
54 And waiting to ambush him, they sought something from his mouth that they might seize upon, in order to accuse him.
si gben'u du ba vu ni tre nyu ma.
