Luke 17 (AQK) · Opened

1Yesu nadi amun kop ma, “Kiki yami ti dung andishir ajira sher zup mbombom ya ti nyi. Anya awami tisi ni gir kiki yama nyimma.Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

2Awami ati dung gin ming ku amumun abama aba roku, ni nang aba kor wu nkpang yi koˈ itoma tiba tok wu agyoˈ ming nyaˈ.It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

3Ta sima gina bi to atumin ananan. “Nden zumin na tara wa, wabi tsing wu. Nta kam san, wabi tsoˈ aguru ma.Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4Nta si na tara wa adza tangba arika gin, asi wa kam asan ta angaˈ ni wa adza tangba ta di, ‘Ngga ni tara wa.’ Ko wa ti kak, wa tsoˈ aguru ma.”Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

5Asi abi tum na di wa Atikop, “Wabi mme kwara zup didik mbor.”The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

6Atikop na tayim bama tadi, “Mi gina tisi ni zup didik yami niti mi gyom ni mkpyeng masta, yami si tsap nang ming ku bibi boboˈ gina tidi nkukun kum nkpyaˈ kama, ‘Wabi tun tumi ayang nga, ti koma ti tip tumi ming nyaˈ.’ Kati dzip kiyami gina ni ban.”And the Lord answered, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

7“Aba di gin ming min asi ni gan, awami awum wu, ti aba aya akam wu awantam. Nga wa ming min, mi gan na ta ngaˈ ari ankwang, ati diwu, ‘Namma, ti ngaˈ ti jisong ti ri kiri’?Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say to him, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?

8Ba ti diwu, ‘Nam ngga kiri yi rikagur aring, ti ngga bi ri ti so, aring wabi sin ri mi ti so sang yi?’Instead, won’t he tell him, ‘Prepare my meal and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you may eat and drink’?

9Ati nyer gan na mi na nam ndum ma kami na di aba nam?Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?

10Yi sema ne gina, gong kami gina ni nam boboˈ kiyami si ananan, gina bi di, ‘Kwara si agan abami ba kwara ni mar kinung baˈ. Kwara ni nak nam ndum mbor ankyaˈ.’ ”So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

11Arika anung nga ma Yesu atsin na koma Rushelima asi awa dzip wong ku mmi Samariya nebi mmi Galili.While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

12Ati rir vin ntun nung ya, asi abi ankpuˈ mi awur siba amara akpa newu, ta tir shan.As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

13Asi aba gi akor tadi, “Wa Yesu, Atikop, wabi kun kwara ma.”and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14Mi Yesu na yik ba asi adi ba, “Koma ti tsar gin itumin ni abi tok ankpur tiba yik gina.” Siba si ming ku tsin tsir ankyaˈ asi nam ba.When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

15Gin ming mana na yik awa na wyer, asi awa akam akoma ni Yesu, ta dibi gbar Arik ni kor kpankpang.When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16Na nyi ta jido mmimi iti ku Yesu, ta nyer wu. Awa asi ndishir awuni Samariya.He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

17Yesu na rip, “Ndi asi andishir awur na nam ba? Mbir atiris ase?“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

18Ani ni dung asi tsin awa ma ankyaˈ na kam ngaˈ te aba ti gbar saˈ Arik?”Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

19Asi Yesu adi wu, “Gur koma kimi, zup didik mi ni dung wa ni wyer.”Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

20Andishira abi Farisi anung bana rip Yesu nkpang kami song Arik kati nyi, siwa adi ba, “Nanam to, song Arik basi ne ayi ati yik ka baˈ.When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

21Ba awami ati, di toka ayang, ko aba di toku amung. Ti song Arik kasi ming min.”Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

22Yesu na adi amun kop ma, “Nkpang kati nyi kami gina ti gina bi yik arika gin ming nvi yi Zu Ndishir, nema ba gina ti yik baˈ.Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.

23Andishir ba di gina, ‘To ka amung,’ ‘To ka ayang.’ Nema kɨr gina bi tsur dzip ba gin baˈ.People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

24Arik awami Zu Ndishir ati ya kam angaˈ, ati si mi nne ya der ri shu, ti sher tongter ku gong mmimi kika ti koma kuku.For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.

25Nema se na vung ti je awowon aring, mi andishir abi nkpang kama ba kaˈ wu.But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26“Yi tisi mi, ni nam nkpang ku Nuhu, ti sima nkpang ku Zu ndishir.Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

27Andishir bana dibi ri ti so, anirum bana ta amba, ta nik amumun aman ngah, har arika awami Nuhu na rir gum, asi awur anpyaˈ agur ta dar mbir andishir boboˈ.People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

28“Asima yani si nkpang ku Lot. Andishir ba ri ta so, aba rep ta vuu rep, aba tip kiki kankang, aba mme akop.It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

29Nema arika awami Lot na ru ntun Sidom, siba shur nkpang yi wur ari shu ti gbu mbir andishir, boboˈ.But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30“Yati si ama arika awami ati tsar Zu ndishir abum.It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

31Arika ma, awami asi itu tar kɨr aba ji tadi awa nyi bi vuu kikima ming kop. Nema awami ta koma ankwang, kɨr aba ngaˈ bi tsoˈ kinung kop baˈ.On that day, let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve his possessions. Likewise, let no one in the field return for anything he has left behind.

32Gina bi shum uwa Lot.Remember Lot’s wife!

33Awami ati aba ta vɨr ma gyoˈ, ati wop ka rak akana, nema awami ata kak vɨrma, ati yik ka.Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34Ngga ban gina, buu yami kiyama ti nam ati yik andishir awaa baku kur kikur gin, ati tsoˈ gin, ta dung gin.I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

35Amba awaa ati si baku koˈ gbu ndo, ati tsoˈ gin, ta dung gin.”Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”

36(Andishir awaa bati si ankwang, ati tsoˈ gin ta dung gin.)Not in the BSB

37“Asi ani Atikop?” Ba rip Yesu. Se awa tayima ta di “Abum awami kum kasima, asi bama ankpang ba bing nga.”“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
