Luke 17
1 Yesu hla ni imri koh ma, A lele ndi ba kbu za ni tita iya mbi wa wu sa ahe ni krigin.
And he said to his disciples, It is impossible for the stumbling-blocks not to come, but woe to him through whom they come!
2 Ana bi bana klo tita wu ni toh ma nda kayo nimi nne fi niwa ni tsa iri ni mi imri bi tsitsa yi diba kbu za.
It is better for him if a donkey-powered millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3 Ya kpambi, wa vayi ma lahtre, bwu shishi niwu, nda a kpa nuyime wruhle niwu.
Take heed to yourselves. And if thy brother should sin against thee, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
4 Nda kpalla niwu inkpu tangban ni vi ri, nda k'ma ye niwu inkpu tangban nda tre, mi brewu, abi du wruhle niwu.
And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times in the day turn back, saying, I repent, thou will forgive him.
5 Bi ninkon ba hla ni tie kon mba, nzu yo suron buu.
And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase faith for us.
6 Irji hla ndu bi he ni bangaskiya kama wlo mustard, bi iya hla niku kro du rumin chu di tsen nimi nei, A kpa nyime niwu.
And the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard plant, ye would say to this sycamine tree, Be thou uprooted and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.
7 A nha nimi mbi, ahe ni vren koh wa ni rho ko krju int'ma rhi rji mi ji ye, ani lla niwu tsima ye ndi ri lah.
But which of you having a bondman plowing or feeding livestock, who, when he comes in from the field, will straightaway say, After coming near, sit down?
8 Ana hla ni wuna, wa kpe mi ri, ndi khi di tie ndu bar mi ri ndi tso. U me wru ndi tsro na?
Will he not rather say to him, Prepare what I may dine, and having gird thyself, serve me until I eat and drink, and after these things thou will eat and drink?
9 Ana gir ni wer kon du a tie ikpa wawu la una a tie?
Does he have a favor for that bondman because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
10 Iwu me naki yi nda u tie kpe wa ba hla niwu, u ya tre, kbi na khai mri koh ..... ma. Kbi tie ikpe wa kbi na tie.
Thus ye also, when ye did all the things that were commanded you, say, We are unprofitable bondmen, because we have done what we are obligated to do.
11 A bi fin ri atsi tie ni Wurishelima, abu kusa nei gbu Samariya ni Galili.
And it came to pass as he went to Jerusalem, that he was passing through the middle of Samaria and Galilee.
12 Wa ari ni gbu ri, ndji wlon bi lilon gben ba izun ni wu. Ba klir gbugbanmu niwu.
And as he entered into a certain village, ten leprous men who stood from afar met him.
13 Ba bwu ba ni fu ba, nda tre, Yesu nikon wo iyi mbu.
And they raised a voice, saying, Jesus, Master, be merciful to us.
14 Wa ato ba, ahla ni bawu, hi ndi tsro tumbi ni Firistoci. Wa ba tsi bi, ba kpa sikpa.
And when he saw them, he said to them, After departing, display yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, during their going they were cleansed.
15 Iri nimi ba wa a to wawu samu sikpa, a kmaye, nda ngyiri ni Ijri ni la ndindima.
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back with a great voice glorifying God.
16 A joku ni kbu Yesu, nda ngyiri niwu gbugbome wawu a ndji igbu Samariya.
And he fell upon his face beside his feet giving him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.
17 Yesu la bana ndji wlo na wa samu sikpa na, itiya ba bahe ni ntsen?
And having answered, Jesus said, Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18 Ba bari wa ba kmaye nda ngyiri ni Irji, tse ndji tsri yi?
Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?
19 A hla niwu, lunde ndi he ni suron ndindime anu sikpa ma.
And he said to him, After rising, go. Thy faith has healed thee.
20 Farisawa ba mye Irji ni ye ni ntan, Yesu hlani bawu ndi Irji ana ye iri iya ndi na.
And questioned by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God comes, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation,
21 Ko ba la yah, ahe iyi koh ahe wamu. Bi ka yah iye Irji ahe aniwu.
nor will they say, Lo, here! or, Lo, there! For behold, the kingdom of God is inside of you.
22 A hla ni imri koh ma, i vin tse ye wa bi son toh ivi wa ivren ndji niye, bi na tona.
And he said to the disciples, The days will come when ye will long to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye will not see it.
23 Ba hla niwu, yah, ni wamu, yah niwa hi na rju na, na bu ba na.
And they will say to you, Lo, here! Lo, there! Do not depart, nor pursue.
24 Ya nda izren ni whri nda kma tsutsa wa ni whri gbagbla shu yi ni gbagblamu, ani he nikiyi ivren ndji ni vin ma.
For just as the lightning, its flashing from under the sky to under the sky, illuminates, so will the Son of man be in his day.
25 A ni sha yah gbugbu kri gbugblu bakaba wu.
But first it is necessary for him to suffer many things and be rejected from this generation.
26 A ni he nawa ahe ni nton Nuhu, ani he nakiyi ivi u ivren ndji.
And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so also it will be in the days of the Son of man.
27 Ba nri, ba tso ba grah nde ninu grah har hi tub wa Nuhu anri ni Jirgi imah tubana ayeh, nda wu ba penpeme.
They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 A he na kiyi ni tan lutu bata nri, bata tso bata lbe nda lebie bata shu bata meh ba koh.
And likewise as it happened in the days of Lot. They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built.
29 Ivin wa lutu rju ni Saduma, ba tsra lu kwekwema rji ni shu bawu ba u ahuwu.
But in that day Lot went out from Sodom he rained fire and brimstone from the sky, and destroyed them all.
30 Ani he na kiyi wa ba ton vren ndji.
It will be according to these things in that day the Son of man is revealed.
31 Ni vi khi yi, indji he ni tun khan du ma ngrji da ni vu kpima ni kon na, wa ahi ni rju du na kma ye na.
In that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his vessels in the house, let him not go down to take them up. And let him who is in the field likewise not return for the things behind.
32 Rhi mre iwa Lutu.
Remember Lot's wife.
33 Wa ni son tuma, ani rasa niwu, wa k tuma nu, ani tsira niwu.
Whoever will seek to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose it will keep it alive.
34 Mi hla niwu, ni chu kiyi ndi ha ni tub blah riri, baba ri nda ton ri.
I say to you, in that night there will be two in one bed. The one man will be taken, and the other man will be left.
35 Imba ha ba si kon kpu ba ka ban ri, nda bri rima.
Two will be grinding together. The one woman will be taken, and the other woman will be left.
36 Ndji lulo bari ba hi ni rju, ba ban ri nda bri ri.
This verse is not in the majority of the Greek manuscripts.
37 Ba mye, ni ntsen Tie koh? A hla bawu iwirji igbokpa ahe, ni kiyi bi ton ugulu.
And having answered, they say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there the vultures will be gathered together.
