Luka 17
1 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!
Jesus said to his disciples: “It is inevitable that there should be snares; yet alas for him who is answerable for them!
2 Uma yitughe barabara I terughe kuyazan n nto I tuu ghe nanya kuli kudya, nuuru ati umong nanya nabebene alele atiro.
It would be good for him if he had been flung into the sea with a mill-stone round his neck, rather than that he should prove a snare to even one of these lowly ones.
3 Yenjen ati mime, gwana fe nwa ti kulapi, kpadanghe, a wa yenin, I shawa nin kulapi me.
Be on your guard! If your brother does wrong, reprove him; but if he repents, forgive him.
4 A wa tifi kulapi kuzur nanya liyirine, akuru a da kitife kuzure, abelin 'men intafi kulapi,' doleari u shawa nin kulapi kune.
Even if he wrongs you seven times a day, but turns to you every time and says ‘I am sorry,’ you must forgive him.”
5 Nono katwan Yesu wa woro ucef kinari mene, “kpina nari uyenu sa uyenu ku.”
“Give us more faith,” said the Apostles to the Master;
6 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.
but the Master said: “If your faith were only like a mustard-seed, you could say to this mulberry tree ‘Be up-rooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
7 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'?
Which of you, if he had a servant ploughing, or tending the sheep, would say to him, when he came in from the fields, ‘Come at once and take your place at table,’
8 Na ama belinghe, 'Kankai imemon nli, anin teru katino me a suyi katwa mmalu kilai. Fe nin le infe'?
Instead of saying ‘Prepare my dinner, and then make yourself ready and wait on me while I am eating and drinking, and after that you shall eat and drink yourself’?
9 Na a benle kucine nja ba, bara na asuu lmonile na itaghe ku, a suwa?
Does he feel grateful to his servant for doing what he is told?
10 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.”
And so with you — when you have done all that you have been told, still say ‘We are but useless servants; we have done no more than we ought to have done.’”
11 Na I wa din libau udu urshalima, a wa din cin magazangazam nsamariyo nin Galili.
On the way to Jerusalem Jesus passed between Samaria and Galilee.
12 Na awa piru inkan kagbiri, kikane azuru nin namong anit akuturu. I yisina piit nin ghe.
As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him.
13 I ghantina ti wuyi me, I din belu, “Yesu, Kumalami, lanza nkunekume bit.”
Standing still, some distance off, they called out loudly: “Jesus! Sir! pity us!”
14 Na ayene nani, a woro nani, “Can idi duro a timune kitin nadidya kutii nlira.” Na i doo, ise ushinu.
When Jesus saw them, he said: “Go and show yourselves to the priest.” And, as they were on their way, they were made clean.
15 Na warum nanya mene yene ashino a kpiliya kidowo a ghartina liwui adin vuu Kutelle.
One of them, finding he was cured, came back, praising God loudly,
16 Ada tumuno nabun Yesu, adin godighe ame wadi ku Samariya wari.
and threw himself on his face at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done; and this man was a Samaritan.
17 Yesu kawa, a woro, “Na anun likurera wa shin baa? Ingisin mzakure dey?
“Were not all the ten made clean? exclaimed Jesus. But the nine — where are they?
18 Na amon duku na iba kpinlu I ruu Kutella ba, maa koo kumarare?”
Were there none to come back and praise God except this foreigner?
19 A woro ghe, “Fita ughaa, uyinun sali yenu fe nshino nin fi.”
Get up,” he said to him, “and go on your way. Your faith has delivered you.”
20 Na afarsayawe ntiringhe ubelem nsa kitari tigoo Kutelle, Yesu kawa nani a woro, “Kilari togoo Kutelle na imun ncamari ba.
Being once asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God was to come, Jesus answered: “The Kingdom of God does not come in a way that admits of observation,
21 Sa ima woro, 'Yene kikaa!' sa, 'Yene kikan ni!', bara na kilari tigoo Kutelle di nanya mene.”
nor will people say ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’; for the Kingdom of God is within you!
22 Yesu woro nanang katwa me, “Ayiri din cinu na I ba yitu nin su nyenu nlon lirin ngono nit, na ima yenu ba.
The day will come,” he said to his disciples, “when you will long to see but one of the days of the Son of Man, and will not see it.
23 I ma benlu minu, 'Yeneng, kekanii!' Yeneng kikaa!' na iwa doo nyenjwe ba, sa I durtu nani,
People will say to you ‘There he is! or ‘Here he is!’ Do not go and follow them.
24 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.
For, just as lightning will lighten and flare from one side of the heavens to the other, so will it be with the Son of Man.
25 Bara na ama niyu nimon gbardan nin burne i nin narighe nko kuje.
But first he must undergo much suffering, and he must be rejected by the present generation.
26 Nafo na uwa di nanyo nayirin Nuhu, nanere tutung ima ti nanya nayirin Gono nnit.
As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be again in the days of the Son of Man.
27 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.
They were eating and drinking and marrying and being married, up to the very day on which Noah entered the ark, and then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 Namere nafo na udi nanya nayirin Lot, I wadin nli iyitan nso, I sese, I lese I bilsa, I key ni lari.
So, too, in the days of Lot. People were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building;
29 Bara nami nanya liri longo na Lot in nuzu nanyan Sodom, atantani nla wa din nnuzu kitine kani uda leo nani vat.
but, on the very day on which Lot came out of Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from the skies and destroyed them all.
30 Nanere u ma so liri longo na Gono nnit ba dak.
It will be the same on the day on which the Son of Man reveals himself.
31 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.
On that day, if a man is on his house-top and his goods in the house, he must not go down to get them; nor again must one who is on the farm turn back.
32 Lizinon nin wanin Lot.
Remember Lot’s wife.
33 Vat nle na a din piziru ulai me ama diru unin, bara nani elu na anari ulai me aba se unin.
Whoever is eager to get the most out of his life will lose it; but whoever will lose it shall preserve it.
34 Nbelim minu, nanya kitik kane ida se an waba non kitene nkomi urume. I ba yiru umong, isuun umong.
On that night, I tell you, of two men upon the same bed, one will be taken and the other left;
35 Awani naba ba yitu tiyazung, I ba yiru warum isuun warum.
of two women grinding together, one will be taken and the other left.”
36 Anit naba ma yitu kuneen, I ba yiru umong isuun umong.”
37 I tiringhe, “Nweri cikilari?” Anin woro nani, kika na libi nonku agbulluk ma kilinu kitee.
“Where will it be, Master?” interposed the disciples. “Where there is a body,” said Jesus, “‘there will the vultures flock.’”
