Luke 17 (EKA) · Opened

1Jisos kehm bungu tong abatꞌtoono ebe re, “Nsol nyi kpo lim nne gbo yel abiafem bahke tiki ba. Eyuu a nne no bahke wahnge re ba!Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

2Ga nob re bo kahn-e eltal go emel, tub-e kak alahb, sehnge re á lim mmonse awohng go ellong abonse baa, á gbo yel abiafem.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.

3“Jo gberen elnahne! “Mmonanne lꞌlim abiafem, jo rehk-e. Á lꞌgbo ndon, tahm ka-e.Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4Á lꞌsood-a nkpel esehma efung abehng, fere ba gboong-a nkpel esehma re, ‘Ndon ma-m fili!’ tahm ka-e.”Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

5Owo abatiingetib kehm tongo Ntul a Jisos re, “Lim eltaame enahre gbal!”The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

6Ntul a Jisos kehm faange bo re, “Li re ń kpi eltaame ni se ana mmohk asia, kehn ń li ma bung tong etaamenti bia re, ‘Mehl, wo song yiimi go aya!’ kehn bahk-n wuku.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“Li re nne awohng ewahne kpi nlokeltum no kpo bahm egbe, tohko jol ano á kpo baabe ebul. Á lꞌkehnge egbe ba, nde kpo tong-e tong rea, ‘Ba elwaare, wo ba ji ekpꞌkuru li nsola?’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’?

8“Eꞌee! Á bahk-e tongo na re, ‘Song lam nsol ka-m, wo fere toobo ebjing bi a bahk-m loko ngare nyi n kpi nsol li. N lꞌli mal, wo kehm tob li.’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’?

9“Anv, á bahke kake nlokeltum ewe nnyo go nsol nyi á tong-e re á lima?Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?

10“Wahn fvfo, ń lꞌlim nsol kpee nyi bo tong-n re wahn lim, jo bungen re, ‘Wahr alokeltum baka baka ba. Wahr eblim ji li ka-r re wahr lim.’ ”So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

11Eji Jisos je go Jeusalem, á sehnge go Samaria, a Galili.While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

12Eji á rehnge go ejahbe ajehng, aneb abili na awubu kehm ba wan-e. Bo yiimi go fee,As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

13kehm rabe re, “Jisos nso ejahre, nong, wahr fil-a ndon!”and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14Eji Jisos nyehne bo, á kehm tongo bo re, “Songen, wahn song kpiri abalimajom, fere tib bo elnahne.” Eji bo jo jen asongo, bo kehme elnobo.When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

15Nne awohng go bo ellong, eji á nyehne re yeblohko nob, á kehm feere abake, jo tehk Esowo wahre wahre,When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16kehm ba gbo go alata nya Jisos, kehm-e kake saam. Nne noo jolo nne a Samaria.He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

17Owo Jisos kehm bungu re, “Anv, ane awubu sang nobo noa? Ane asehmwubu bako bana?“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

18Nnene feerem ba re á ba tehk Esowoa, sehngem njenne nyia nyi nyi feere noa?”Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

19Owo á kehm-e tongo re, “Mehl, wo song, eltaame ena eblim, wobnob.”Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

20Egom Farisi jindiki kehm bahbe Jisos re, “Ngare anyi etul bi Esowo bahke bake!” Owo Jisos kehm faange bo re, “Etul bi Esowo nehm ba go mbang nyi ane bahke nyehne.When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

21Nne awohng awohng limm, no bahke bungu re, ‘Nyehn, bi gana!’ Jol, ‘Nyehn, bi gona!’ Tibre etul bi Esowo bia, wob-n go atahng.”Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

22Owo á kehm tongo abatꞌtoono ebe re, “Ngare kpꞌbake nyi ḿ bahke sebe re efung abehng bi Mmon no nne kpir-n, jol wahn nehm kpiri.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.

23Bo bahk-n jo tong re, ‘Nyehnen gona!’ Ane bako bahk-n jo tong re, ‘Nyehnen ga!’ Kana lohng je ona! Jol kana toono bo!People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

24Ana emangedu kpo lim, lennge go elbung, rehng ejang abehng abehng, ano wo fvfo Mmon no nne bahke jolo go ege efung.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.

25Á bahke gboko mbang nyehn erem gbalee. Ane ba li anv bahk-e tene.But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26“Ana jolo ngare nyio nyi Noa, ano wo fvfo bahke tob jol afung nyao nya Mmon no nne.Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

27Ngare nyio ane jo li, fere jo wꞌwo. Aneblum jo ko akal, anebkal jo bal alum, tete rehng efung bio bi Noa yele go egbang. Owo nnyel kehm yele, ba wul bo kpee.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“Bahke jolo ana jolo ngare nyio nyi Lot. Bo jo li, fere jo wꞌwo, jo gunu, fere jo gꞌgungu, jo bahm ebgbe, fere jo si ntahk.It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

29Efung bi Lot lohngo go Sodom, agun, a asalfa kehm kehme elnake go ejahbetul Esowo, ba wul bo kpee.But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30“Ano wo bahke tob jol fvfo efung bi bo bahke lennge Mmon no nne tib.It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

31Efung bio, nne no lꞌkuumu go ege ero etahk, á lꞌbadde, á kꞌtohko kpe ji, yel go ege ekpꞌkpa, song rod nsol enye. Ano wo fvfo tob li ka nne no li go ege egbe, á nehm tohko kpe feere go ege etahk.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.

32“Buumen nkal a Lot!Remember Lot’s wife!

33Nne awohng awohng no lꞌgare re á tahre elkpin ene, á bahke tane na elkpin ene. Nne no lꞌtane elkpin ene, á bahke tahre na elkpin ene.Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34“N kp-n tongo re, atv mao ane abal bahke noongo go edilnong ajehng, noko, bo bahk-e rodo tahm a ne, noko sa.I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

35Anebkal abal bahke jo gok nsol, noko, bo bahk-e rodo tahm a ne, noko sa.Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”

36Aneblum abal bahke jolo go egbe, noko, bo bahk-e rodo tahm a ne, noko sa.”Not in the BSB

37Owo abatꞌtoono ebe kehm-e bahbe re, “Nsoo, gan wo?” Jisos kehm faange bo re, “Edi ji ekpakv ejum li no, owo ntere kpo song rur.”“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
