Luke 18
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
A lu tre ni tre ni bawu nitu duba ta bre Irji chachu nda na tie suu na.
2 saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
A hla ndi “Ni gbu ri, ndji wu han tre njanji ri a he wandi ana tie sissri Irji na, dana toh ndji ngame ni nfutu na.
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
Niki, iwari wu s'ro ri ason ni gbu'a ngame. A ta hi ni ndji wu han tre njanji chachu nda bre ndi, “Zome kpa ikrji mu niwo bi yo me ni shishi.
4 He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
A ban nton gbaa me ndana son zo na. A son ni vi ntor ri nda rhimre kikima, nda hla ni tuma ndi, “Mina ti sissri Irji na, nina ya ndji ni nfutu ngame na.
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
Nitu du iwayi na nne iya ni ye bre ma chachu na, Mi zo u kpa njanji ikrji ma nduna lo me kpa ni yema na.
6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
I Bachi a tre ndi “wo tre andi ndji wa ana han tre njanji na a hla.
7 Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
Zizan Irji ngame na nji njanji ye ni bi wa a chu ba, ndani yi yo'u chachu ni Irji mba ni chu na? Ani tie sesren ye gbagbla ni ba?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
Mi hla yiwu ndi, ani ye ni njanji ni bawu gbagbla. Nikima vren ndji nita ye, ani ye toh nime ni gbungblu meme?
9 He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
Me a lu tre toh choloncho ni bari wandi ba yo suron ni gbengblen mba, ndi ba zren tsatsra ndani ya bari grji tu,
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
Ndji ha ba hon hi ni tra Irji nda hi bre, iri ana Farasi, i rhima bi kpa iban.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
Farasi a lu kri ni zande nda bre ni tuma ndi, 'Irji, mi ngyiri nitu mina he to ndji bari na - bi y'bi, bi lahtre, bi humba, ba bi kpa ban too ndi yi.
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
Mi zu kpa mu rhi biri nkpu ha ni sati. Mi nu zakka (iri nimi wlon) nitu wawu kpi ndi a ri nime.'
13 But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
Ndji wu kpa ban'a a kri gbagban nda na nzu shishi hi ni shu mena, wru wo ni san nda tre ndi, “Irji, ya me ni lo suron, ndji wu lahtre.”
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Mi hla yiwu, igu hi a kma hi kpama ni si suron zan ndi rima'a, nitu ndji wandi a nzu tuma hi shu, ba gbron grji, i wandi a ban tuma grji (nitu ana kpe na) ba nzu hi shu.”
15 They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Ndji ba basi'a nji mri tsitsa ni du sa wo ni tu mba, i mri koh bi nduma ba to ba nda puaha tre.
16 Yeshua summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
I Yesu a yo ba ye ni kpama nda tre ndi, “Du mri bi tsitsa ba ye nime, na zu ba na. Ikoh Irji ni shulu a wu biwa ba he to mba.
17 Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
Tre njanji, ndji wa na kpa ikoh Irji to mri bi tsitsa na, ana ri mi na.
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
I chu mba ri a mye ndi, “Ticha ndindi, mi tie ngye ri ni kpa ko Irji?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Yeshua asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
Yesu a hal wu ndi, “Nitu ngye wu yome ndji ndindi? Ndrjo na ndindi na se Irji kankle ma.
20 You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
Bi toh doka Irji na tie nka na, na wu ndji na, na y'bi na, na nu sheda che na, wo tre time mba yime.”
21 He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
Ichu a tre ndi “Mi zi hu kpi bi mba wawuu rhi ni nzemu.”
22 When Yeshua heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
Yesu a woo nda tre ndi ikpe riri rhi don, hi le ni kpi wandi wu he niwu ni gah ni bi ya, i wu he ni lada ni shulu, ni ye huma.”
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
Ni wa ichu a wo tre, a loh suron kpukpome, nitu ana ndji wu wo.
24 Yeshua, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
Ni wa Yesu a toh kma ti gbon me ni lo suron (gbugbu chiche tre vunvu ni Greek ba sa tu tre ndi a kma ta lo suron/ama gbugbu bari bana he ni lan kima na), a tre ndi, “Ani he ni du du ndi wu wo du rhi ni koh Irji.
25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
A he ni du ni ndi wu wo du ri ni koh Irji, zan du ra kumi ri zu ni shishi n'ro.”
26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
Bi wa basi'a wa'a ba tre ndji. “I nha ni nawo?”
27 But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
Yesu a sa ndi “Ikpi wa ba he ni iya tie ni ndji bana he ni iya ni Irji na.”
28 Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
Bitrus ngame a tre ndi, “Toh, ki bri wawu kpi mbu ndi hu.”
29 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
Yesu a kma tre ni ba ndi “Njanji, mi hla yiwu, ba ndji wa a don ikoh ma, ko wama, ko mri vayi ma, ko ba ti ma, ko ni mri ma nitu ikoh Irji,
31 He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
A yo ndji wlon-don-ha ba ye ni kpama nda hla bawu ndi, “Toh, ki si yi ni Wurushelima, i wawu kpi wa anabawa ba tere nitu Vren Ndji'a ba tie toki.
32 For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
Ba banwu nu biwa bana mri Israila na, ba nzau, nda nu shan nda ju nte sru niwu.
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
Ba ti tsiwu, ba wuu, i ni vi wu tra ani lunde.”
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
Ba na mla to ikpi biyi na, i lan tre ana ri nibawu, niki bana mla toh ikpi wa a tre na.
35 As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
Niwa Yesu a ye wiewire ni Yeriko ndji wu infyen ri a son si bre ni nyu nkon,
36 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
ni wo kpaa ndji basi zren ni zu whiwhre niwu, a mye ka ngye si zren.
37 They told him that Yeshua of Nazareth was passing by.
Ba hla wu ndi Yesu wu Nazarat-akasi hi.
38 He cried out, “Yeshua, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
Ndji wu infyen a yra gro nda hla ndi, “Yesu Vren Dawuda, ya me ni lo suron.”
39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
Bi wa bisi'a zren ni ko shishi ba puatre ni ndji wu infyen nda hla niwu du son gbangbi. A kama nda si kpa gro ndi, “Vren Dawuda, ya me ni lo suron.”
40 Standing still, Yeshua commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
Yesu a kri kpenme nda nu tre du ba ji igu'a ye niwu. Niwa ndji wu infyen a ye whiwhre, Yesu a mye ndi,
41 “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
“Wu son du mi ti ngye ni wu?” A tre ndi, “Bachi, mi son toh ni shishi mu.”
42 Yeshua said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
Yesu a hla niwu ndi, “Kpa toh ni shishi me, kpanyime me a nu si kpa.
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
Hari, a toh ni shishima nda hu si yo ise ni nzu nde Irji.
