Luke 17
1 [One day Jesus] said to his disciples, “Things that will tempt [people] to sin are certain to happen, but it will be terrible for anyone who causes them to happen!
Yesu woro nono katwa me, “Nanere imong duku na I ma ti nari ti te kulapi, bara nani kash inle na imong ine madak nacaramye!
2 Suppose you caused one of these people who [do not believe in me very strongly] to sin. If a huge stone was fastened {someone fastened a huge stone} around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that a severe punishment, but God will punish] you even more severely [if you cause someone to sin!]
Uma yitughe barabara I terughe kuyazan n nto I tuu ghe nanya kuli kudya, nuuru ati umong nanya nabebene alele atiro.
3 Be careful [how you act]. If you [know about] a fellow believer who sins, you [(sg)] should rebuke him. If he [says that he] is sorry for having sinned [and asks you to forgive him], forgive him.
Yenjen ati mime, gwana fe nwa ti kulapi, kpadanghe, a wa yenin, I shawa nin kulapi me.
4 Even if he sins against you [(sg)] seven times in one day, if he comes to you each time and says, ‘I am sorry for what I did’, you must continue forgiving him.”
A wa tifi kulapi kuzur nanya liyirine, akuru a da kitife kuzure, abelin 'men intafi kulapi,' doleari u shawa nin kulapi kune.
5 [One day] the apostles said to the Lord, “Help us to trust [in you] (OR, [in God]) more strongly!”
Nono katwan Yesu wa woro ucef kinari mene, “kpina nari uyenu sa uyenu ku.”
6 The Lord replied, “Mustard [seeds are very small, but in this area they grow and produce large] [MET] [plants]. [Similarly], if your faith grows until you truly believe that God [will do what you ask him to, you will be able to do anything]. You could [even] say to this mulberry tree, ‘Pull yourself out [with your roots] and plant yourself in the sea!’ and it would obey you!”
Cikilare woro, “I wadinin yinu sauyenu nafo fiyip nikan, I ba benlu kuca koone, 'Fita kikane udi soo nanya kuli,' kuma lanzu a nunko lifi.
7 [Jesus also said], “Suppose that one of you had a servant who was plowing [your fields] or taking care of your sheep. After he comes into the house from the field, you [(sg)] would not say [RHQ], ‘Sit down and eat immediately!’
Bara nani ghari nanya mine, na adi nin kucin katwa kunen sa adi libya nakam, na asaa unuzu kunen ubelinghe, 'abelinghe da nenenene ama soo kilai'?
8 Instead, you would say to him, ‘Put on your apron and prepare a meal for me! Then serve it to me so that I can eat and drink! Afterwards you [(sg)] can eat and drink.’
Na ama belinghe, 'Kankai imemon nli, anin teru katino me a suyi katwa mmalu kilai. Fe nin le infe'?
9 (You will not thank your servant for doing the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do!/Would you thank your servant because he did the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do?) [RHQ]
Na a benle kucine nja ba, bara na asuu lmonile na itaghe ku, a suwa?
10 Similarly, when you [(pl)] have done everything that [God] has told you to do, you should say, ‘We [(inc)] are not worthy [of God thanking us] {[being thanked]}. We are only God’s servants. We have only done the things that he told us to do.’”
Nanere anun wang, I wa su vat nimong ile na ita munu nsue, I ma benlu, 'Na arik a cin a cuneari ba. Fi suu imon i le na itanarin suere cas.”
11 As [Jesus and his disciples] were walking along the road to Jerusalem, they were going through [the region] between Samaria and Galilee [districts].
Na I wa din libau udu urshalima, a wa din cin magazangazam nsamariyo nin Galili.
12 As they entered one village, ten lepers came near the road. [Because lepers were not permitted to come near other people], they stood at some distance
Na awa piru inkan kagbiri, kikane azuru nin namong anit akuturu. I yisina piit nin ghe.
13 and called out, “Jesus, Master, pity us [and heal us]!”
I ghantina ti wuyi me, I din belu, “Yesu, Kumalami, lanza nkunekume bit.”
14 When he saw them, he said [to them], “Each of you should go and show yourself to a priest [in Jerusalem so that he can see if you are healed].” As they were going [there], they were healed.
Na ayene nani, a woro nani, “Can idi duro a timune kitin nadidya kutii nlira.” Na i doo, ise ushinu.
15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God loudly.
Na warum nanya mene yene ashino a kpiliya kidowo a ghartina liwui adin vuu Kutelle.
16 He [came to Jesus], prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet, and thanked him. This man was a Samaritan, [not a Jew].
Ada tumuno nabun Yesu, adin godighe ame wadi ku Samariya wari.
17 Then Jesus said, “[I] healed ten [lepers] (I am disappointed that the other nine did not come back!/Where are the other nine?) [RHQ]
Yesu kawa, a woro, “Na anun likurera wa shin baa? Ingisin mzakure dey?
18 I am disappointed [RHQ] that this non-Jewish man was the only one who returned to thank God; none of the others came back to me!”
Na amon duku na iba kpinlu I ruu Kutella ba, maa koo kumarare?”
19 Then he said to the man, “Get up and continue on your journey. [God] [PRS] [has saved you and] healed you [(sg)] because you trusted [in me].”
A woro ghe, “Fita ughaa, uyinun sali yenu fe nshino nin fi.”
20 [One day] Jesus was asked by [some] Pharisees [SYN] {[some] Pharisees [SYN] asked [Jesus]}, “When is God [going] to rule as king?” He replied, “God’s ruling [MET] is not something people will be able to see with their eyes.
Na afarsayawe ntiringhe ubelem nsa kitari tigoo Kutelle, Yesu kawa nani a woro, “Kilari togoo Kutelle na imun ncamari ba.
21 And people will not be able to say, ‘Look! He is [ruling] here!’ Or ‘He is [ruling] over there!’ because, [contrary to what you think], God’s ruling is people’s inner beings (OR, is already happening among you).”
Sa ima woro, 'Yene kikaa!' sa, 'Yene kikan ni!', bara na kilari tigoo Kutelle di nanya mene.”
22 [Jesus] said to his disciples, “There will be a time when you will want to see [me] [MTY], the one who came from heaven, [ruling powerfully]. But you will not see that.
Yesu woro nanang katwa me, “Ayiri din cinu na I ba yitu nin su nyenu nlon lirin ngono nit, na ima yenu ba.
23 [Some] people will say to you, ‘Look, [the Messiah] is over there!’ or [they will say] ‘Look, he is here!’ When they say that, do not believe them. Do not follow them [to go see the Messiah].
I ma benlu minu, 'Yeneng, kekanii!' Yeneng kikaa!' na iwa doo nyenjwe ba, sa I durtu nani,
24 Because when the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, [everyone can see it. Similarly] [SIM], at the time [MTY] when [I], the one who came from heaven, come back again, [everyone will see me].
nafo na nicananghe nwa nuzu na wite awa manliin, asa mi nuzun ko kuwut udu kitin kune, nanere Gono nnit ba yitu nanya liri me.
25 But before that happens, I must suffer in many ways (OR, very much). And I will be rejected by people {people will reject me}, [even though] they [have observed me doing good for people].
Bara na ama niyu nimon gbardan nin burne i nin narighe nko kuje.
26 But when [I], the one who came from heaven, [come again, people] will be doing things just like people were doing at the time when [MTY] Noah [lived].
Nafo na uwa di nanyo nayirin Nuhu, nanere tutung ima ti nanya nayirin Gono nnit.
27 [At that time] people ate and drank [as usual], and they got married [as usual], up until the day when Noah [and his family] entered the big boat. But then the flood came and destroyed all those [who were not in the boat].
I wadin nle, iyitan nso, I suzu ilugma I niza ashono mene nilugma, udu liri lo na Nuhu wa pirum njirgi - men nwure daa mida mulso nani vat.
28 Similarly, when Lot lived [in Sodom city], people [there] ate and drank [as usual]. They bought things and they sold things. They planted [crops] and they built [houses as usual].
Namere nafo na udi nanya nayirin Lot, I wadin nli iyitan nso, I sese, I lese I bilsa, I key ni lari.
29 But on the day that Lot [and his family] left Sodom, fire and [burning] sulfur came down from the sky and destroyed all those [who stayed in the city].
Bara nami nanya liri longo na Lot in nuzu nanyan Sodom, atantani nla wa din nnuzu kitine kani uda leo nani vat.
30 Similarly, when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, [people will be unprepared] (OR, [enjoying normal life]).
Nanere u ma so liri longo na Gono nnit ba dak.
31 On that day, those who are outside their houses, with all the things that they own inside [the houses], must not go [in] to take them away, [because there will not be enough time to do that]. Similarly, those who are working in a field must not go back home [to get anything]; [they must flee immediately].
Nanyan lolire, na I wa yinin ule na adi kitene kutii tolu adi yiru kutura me nanya kilare. Na iwa yinin ule na adi kunen saa kilari ba.
32 Remember Lot’s wife! [Because she turned back and wanted to get some of her things from Sodom, she died immediately and became a pillar of salt].
Lizinon nin wanin Lot.
33 Anyone who wants to hold onto his life [and his possessions] will not [receive eternal] life. But anyone who is [willing to] die [for my sake] will live [eternally].
Vat nle na a din piziru ulai me ama diru unin, bara nani elu na anari ulai me aba se unin.
34 I tell you this: On the night [when I return], there will be two people [sleeping] in one bed. The one [who believes in me] will be taken {[God] will take the one [who believes in me]} [to heaven], and the other one will be left [behind and punished] {and [he] will leave the other one [behind and punish him]}.
Nbelim minu, nanya kitik kane ida se an waba non kitene nkomi urume. I ba yiru umong, isuun umong.
35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left {[God] will take one and leave the other} [behind].”
Awani naba ba yitu tiyazung, I ba yiru warum isuun warum.
Anit naba ma yitu kuneen, I ba yiru umong isuun umong.”
37 [His disciples] said to him, “Lord, where [will this happen]?” He replied to them, “Wherever there is an animal carcass, the vultures will gather [to eat it] [MET]. [Similarly, wherever there are people who are spiritually dead, God will punish them].”
I tiringhe, “Nweri cikilari?” Anin woro nani, kika na libi nonku agbulluk ma kilinu kitee.
