Luke 11
1 It happened, that when he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just 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 So he said to them, "When you pray, say, 'Our Father in heaven, holy be your name. May your kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
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 day by day our daily bread.
Nu ta biri mbu wu vi chachu.
4 And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.'"
Wru latre mbu hlega, toh-andi ki wru hle ni ko nha wandi a rhi ihla mbu. Na duta rjoku ni tsra na.'”
5 He said to them, "Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight, and tell him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
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 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing 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 he from within will answer and say, 'Do not bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me 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 I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as 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 "I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will 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. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
Ndji wandi ani mye, ni waa anito, i ndji a wru ba bwu niwu.
11 "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, he won't give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
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 asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
Ka anita mye inchen'ko waka ban illan nu?
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit 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 He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. It happened, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and 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, "He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons."
I ndji bari nimi mba ba tre ndi Beelzebul, ninkon brji ba si zu brji mba ni rju
16 Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
Bari ba tsra ni du ba toh alama rji ni shulu.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
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 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
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 Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore will they 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 But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come to you.
Mita zu brji ni rju ni vren-wo Irji, nikima, kikle koh Irji ni grji ye ni yi.
21 "When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
Ndji wu gbengblen wandi a kri ni sro ni koh ma, ikpe koh ma ba nawo.
22 But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides up his plunder.
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 "He that is not with me is against me. He who 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 The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the person, passes through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, 'I will turn back to my house from which I came out.'
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 When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
Aniti k'ma ye nda toh ba se ikoh pempeme nda mla wu tie.
26 Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that person becomes worse than the first."
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 It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the crowd lifted up her voice, and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which 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 But he said, "On the contrary, 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 When the crowds were gathering together to him, he began to say, "This generation is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of 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 even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will also 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 in the judgment with the people of this generation, and will condemn them: for she came from a distant land to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and look, one greater 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 people of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and look, one greater 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, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in 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 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness.
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 see whether the light that is in you is not darkness.
Nikima, bi ka mla zren ni du ikpan mbi du na k'ma tie bwu na.
36 If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light."
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 Now as he spoke, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table.
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 When the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
Farasi a yi mamaki ni toh ndi Yesu ana ngla kpama ri nda son ni ba ni bubu rhi biri'a na.
39 The Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
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 You foolish ones, did not he who made the outside make the inside also?
Biyi ndji bi kha toh, Ana wandi a tie kogon a tie mima ngame na?
41 But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and see, all things will be clean to 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 bypass justice and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
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 best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.
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 hidden graves, and the people who walk over them do not know it."
Iya mbi, bi he toh ibe wandi bana chu tsro nkana, ndji ba hon zu ndana toh na.
45 One of the Law scholars answered him, "Teacher, in saying this you insult us also."
Iri nimi bi ninkon ni tre doka'a hla wu ndi, “Ticha, ikpi wandi wu tre a kpata tsri ngame.”
46 He said, "Woe to you Law scholars also. For you load people with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won't even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
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. For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
Iya-mbi, bi meh ibe ni anabawa, wa ba bachi-mbi ba wuba.
48 So you are witnesses and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
Niki biti shaida ni kpanyime ni ndu ba bachi-mbi'a, Baba yi ba wuba i biyi bi meh ibe mba.
49 Therefore also the wisdom of God said, 'I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and 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 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of 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 to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.' Yes, I tell 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 Law scholars. For you took away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered."
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 And when he left there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to oppose him bitterly, and to provoke him to speak 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 lying in wait for him, seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
si gben'u du ba vu ni tre nyu ma.
