Luke 17 (KHJ) · Opened

1Iyesu ka sani ɔnɔ ʊmɛr ngɛ ni: “Uma sini unusa orokru uya kyeba, yip okwo ni arʊ sini asimo uba.Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

2Inu pri olorho ngɛ utari ukɔ bi ʊmrɔɔ ɛfɛn bidɔɔ irɔng irirɛ nisini anu sa ere ying bidɔɔ ɔnɔ ajajirhi men akyi aya.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.

3Inyi sa noshong ni ʊkany. “Arupyanw ko oforonw ba sanw uya, uwoo ngɛ atung, ebe shere ʊya, upuna ngɛ ʊyaa ngɛ.Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4Ko abada sani asanw uya asi iten sara ba wri. Oko juro ba obo ɔsɔrhɔnw asi iten sara asani ‘Ɛngɛɛ shere ʊya,’ itɔɔyo upuna ngɛ uyaa ngɛ.”Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

5Ɛkǝri ɔnɔ ʊmɛr Iyesu ka sani Ete, “Jo saa arʊ ʊma ʊbrʊbrʊ arʊ ngɛ!”The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

6Ete ko yoromo asani, “Inyi boshoo ni ʊma ʊbrʊbrʊ ngɛ naji kǝni ikiri imusta ni (ikiri imusta ini animaa kǝni ikiri ikpong ni), inyi nusani okru ushi ukumo wen ni, ‘Yere ʊkanw ben aya pura ʊkanw bidɔɔ irɔng irirɛ,’ ʊnu kuny asa imisini inyi sini ʊsa.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“Asani ararʊny ni agara ngɛ sini akuwroo ko akushaa atam. Akywa sini obo sɔɔ anu shusani agara ngɛ ni, ‘Ba kaimen ba kiki ara umura’?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’?

8Anasu tana ngɛ kǝna, anu sani, ‘Sɔmɔ uma utina, ekyenem umura aki ira asa; ikpara sini ibɛ kywɛrɛ unwo kanw ʊka ra asa.’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’?

9Anu sa ɛkǝri agara ngɛ ija kii asi imisini atani ngɛ ni asaa?Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?

10Kǝnawo kany. Ikpara sini inyi basa kukum imisini atany inyi sa, inyi nʊ sani, ‘Aru ni agara mo; itɔɔyɔ arʊ sa utina arʊ.’ ”So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

11Nisini Iyesu ni bi ʊtira ukyaa Urushelima, aka fwa amarha ibʊng Igalili kǝni Isamariya.While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

12Nisini akʊ raa opyo apyang, opyo orokru atarhi sini oku udumo ʊkɔng ka darha ngɛ. Aka ting bi ikǝkarhaAs He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

13ka yirha ngɛ ayaya, “Iyesu, Arite, kʊng okwo arʊ!”and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14Akywa sini erimo, aka sani, “Inyi kya yen ʊkany eberi ogoku ubyen Ʊnʊng.” Nisini akʊ kyeng kyamo, ekǝ pen ikrʊ.When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

15Nisini ere ying bidɔɔ mo, rii ingɛɛ pen ikrʊ, oko juro asu dɔɔ Ʊnʊng ngɛ ni ihywi ayaya.When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16Aka kpaa okpukpuro ni orung bi ite Iyesu asaa ija. Orokru wen ni ari Isamariya ngɛ.He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

17Iyesu ko gyurho, “Sa ara atarhi mo epen ikrʊ kukum? Eki uparha ɛshɛ ere ichetarhi?“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

18Ba arʊ sini ojuri ba aba dɔɔ Ʊnʊng ngɛ sai ekyeng wen?”Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

19Ikpara dang aka sani ngɛ ni, “Shinɛ akyanw; ʊma ʊbrʊbrʊnw manw ikrʊ.”Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

20Upyo unung Afarisiya gyurhi Iyesu ngɛ ikini ikpara yo Igumo Ʊnʊng kyeba, Iyesu ko yoromo asani, “Ukyeba Igumo Ʊnʊng isayo irima sini orokru nʊ rong ekperhi asani iba ba,When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

21ko orokru sani, ‘Inye ben,’ ko ‘Inya ban,’ kii Igumo Ʊnʊng ni bidɔɔ nyi.”Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

22Ikpara dang Iyesu kasa ni ɔnɔ ʊmɛr ngɛ ni,“Ekǝri akywa yeba sini inyi nʊ waa urom, Ɔnɔ Orokru bi igumo, ko awri eying, yip inyi na su rong yo.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.

23Orokru nʊ tanany ni, ‘Awa ban!’ Ko ‘Ewe ben!’ Inyi be kya kuno kyaa aya su ting kroo edei mo ngɛ.People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

24Kǝni sini uyen iyɛyɛrhi avra se ta uyen kya ayaya bai iyen isha kekya inyan isha kǝni ɔnɔ orokru nushoo bidɔɔ awrie.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.

25Yip bi itee itɔɔyo anu shi igara ededei bavu ipyoo yen ujo tiramo ngɛ.But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26“Kǝni ushoo yo bakywa Inuu ni, kǝnawo inu shoo bakywa Ɔnɔ Orokru.Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

27Orokru ku ra, asu sa, asu ulorho ibara kǝni ʊʊma ibarha ke kya ʊnʊng sini Inuu rii ʊgɔrʊ omung ʊrʊrɛ. Ikpara dang ʊgyang ka ba pyerhemo kukum.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“Inɛ mɛr kǝni bakywa Ilitu ni. Orokru ku ra, asu sa, akʊ rɛɛ asu gbuna, akʊ pura asu vura.It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

29Yip unung sini Ilitu sheri Isɔdɔm ngɛ, Ʊnʊng ka sa ura kǝni itari ura ka kpaa ba ayaya kǝ pyerhemo kukum.But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30“Inu shoo nɛmɛr kǝn ba awri sini Ɔnɔ orokru nʊ kuno.It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

31Ba wri dang arʊ sini ani bi ʊsɔrɔ ʊbɔrʊ, oshoo ni umaa bidang, ebe kya shuro asani ingɛɛ weyeremo. Kǝnawo, arʊ shoo kyu orumo bekya juro baa ukpara iririma bi una.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.

32Inyi dirha ni imisini isi ere Ilitu ngɛ!Remember Lot’s wife!

33Aru sini aba waa usha ofo nge, anu taa yo, Yip arʊ sini aba taa ʊfɛr ngɛ anu penwo.Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34Itaniny ni eting dang ara pari nʊ yuyari bi ipro; anu kpara ereying eshere ereying.I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

35Erere apari nusu kɔ bi ʊtari bi owro eying; anu kpara ereying ekǝ shere ereying.”Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”

36Ɛrɛrimɛ apari nusu wro bi orumo anu kpara ereying eshere ereying.Not in the BSB

37Ɔnɔ ʊmɛr ngɛ ko gyurho ngɛ, “Ete, bi ubewo anu sa inyen ima ngɛ?” Iyesu ko yoro mo asani, “Owro sini ʊkʊng inama nuwo ʊpʊrha wɔ ulobung se tuno ngɛ.”“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
