1In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
1 Alwaato din ra, kaŋ borey margu zambar-zambarey, hal i goono ga care taamu, kala Yesu sintin ka ne nga talibey se jina: «Araŋ ma haggoy da Farisi* fonda borey dalbuwo*, kaŋ ga ti munaficitaray.
2For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
2 Zama hay kulu si no daabante kaŋ i s'a feeri. Hay kulu si no mo tugante kaŋ i si aniya ka bay a gaa.
3Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
3 Woodin sabbay se, hay kulu kaŋ araŋ ci kubay ra, i ga maa woodin kaari ra. Haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga salaŋ hanga ra lokoto-lokotey ra, i ga fatta k'a fe fuwey boŋ.
4And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
4 Ay ga ne araŋ kaŋ ga ti ay corey se mo: araŋ ma si humburu borey kaŋ yaŋ ga gaaham wi, woodin banda i sinda hay kulu kaŋ i ga hin ka te.
5But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
5 Amma ay g'araŋ kaseeti da nga kaŋ araŋ ga hima ka humburu. Araŋ ma humburu nga kaŋ, wiyaŋ banda, gonda dabari a m'araŋ jindaw danji* bango ra. Oho me, ay ga ne araŋ se: wa humburu nga.
6Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
6 Manti i ga sasa gu neera dala hinka? Kaŋ i ra baa afo Irikoy mana dinya a gaa.
7But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
7 Amma, i n'araŋ boŋ hamney kulu kabu. Araŋ ma si humburu, zama araŋ bisa sasa boobo darza!
8Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
8 Woodin banda ay ga ne araŋ se: boro kulu kaŋ g'ay seeda borey jine, ay, Boro Izo g'a koy seeda Irikoy malaykey jine.
9But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
9 Amma boro kaŋ n'ay ze borey jine, ay g'a koy ze Irikoy malaykey jine.
10And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
10 Boro kulu mo kaŋ na sanni yaamo te Boro Izo boŋ, i g'a yaafa a se. Amma boro kaŋ ga Biya Hanna kayna, i s'a yaafa bora din se.
11And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
11 Amma waati kaŋ i g'araŋ candi Yahudance diina marga borey, wala koyey, wala mo dabarikoyey jine, araŋ laakal ma si tun da tuyaŋ kaŋ dumi araŋ ga te, wala haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga ci.
12For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
12 Zama saaya din ra no Biya Hanno g'araŋ dondonandi nda hayey kaŋ yaŋ araŋ ga hima ka ci.»
13And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
13 Boro fo kaŋ go borey marga game ra ne a se: «Alfa, ma ci ay nya izo se a ma tubo fay in d'a game ra.»
14And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
14 Amma Yesu wo ne a se: «Albora, may no k'ay daŋ alkaali wala fayko araŋ game ra?»
15And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
15 A ne i se mo: «Araŋ ma haggoy k'araŋ boŋ gaay biniyaŋ laalo kulu gaa, zama manti arzaka boobo kaŋ go boro se no ga naŋ a fundo ma yulwa nda albarka.»
16And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
16 Kal a na misa fo salaŋ i se ka ne: «Arzakante fo laabu na albarka boobo hay.
17And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
17 Nga mo, a lasaabu nga boŋo ra ka ne: ‹Ifo no ay ga te? Zama ay sinda nangu kaŋ ay g'ay albarka margu.›
18And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
18 A ne mo: ‹Haŋ kaŋ ay ga te neeya: ay g'ay barmey feeri ka afooyaŋ cina kaŋ ga beeri nd'ey. Noodin no ay g'ay ntaaso d'ay arzaka jisi.
19And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
19 Ay ga ne ay fundo se mo: Ay wo, ay gonda arzaka boobo ga jisi kaŋ ga te ay se jiiri boobo. Ay ma fulanzam, ya ŋwa, ya haŋ, ay m'ay waate ŋwa.›
20But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
20 Amma Irikoy ne a se: ‹Nin saamo! Hunkuna cino wo ra ay ga ni fundo ceeci ni gaa. Hayey kaŋ ni soola binde, may se no i ga bara?›
21So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
21 Yaadin mo no nga nda boro kaŋ ga arzaka jisi nga boŋ se, nga wo manti arzakante no Irikoy do.»
22And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
22 A ne nga talibey se: «Woodin sabbay se no ay ga ne araŋ se: araŋ ma si karhã araŋ fundey se, haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga ŋwa, wala araŋ gaaham se, haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga bankaaray d'a.
23The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
23 Zama fundi ga bisa ŋwaari, gaahamo mo ga bisa bankaaray.
24Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
24 Wa gaarey guna. I siino ga duma, i siino ga wi mo, i sinda jisiri do wala barma. Irikoy g'i ŋwaayandi mo. Sanda ifo cine no araŋ ga bisa curey!
25And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
25 Woodin banda, may no araŋ ra kaŋ nga boŋ karhã do ga hin ka baa kambe kar folloŋ tonton nga kuuyaŋo gaa?
26If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
26 D'araŋ si hin ka te haŋ kaŋ ga kayna ka bisa, ifo se no araŋ ga karhã cindey sabbay se?
27Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
27 Araŋ ma waaliya bokey guna, beeray kaŋ cine i ga te. I si ga taabi, i siino ga silli bi. Kulu nda yaadin ay ga ne araŋ se: baa Suleymanu nda nga darza kulu mana sutura ka to i afo cine.
28If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
28 Amma da Irikoy ga bankaaray yaadin te subu kaŋ go batama ra se, kaŋ hunkuna a go no, suba mo i g'a catu danji ra, sanku fa araŋ, a g'araŋ bankaara, cimbeeri kayna koyey.
29And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
29 Araŋ ma si ceeci haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga ŋwa da haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga haŋ, wa si karhã mo.
30For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
30 Zama hayey din kulu, ndunnya dumey goono g'i ceeci, amma araŋ Baabo ga bay araŋ ga laami nd'ey.
31But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
31 Day wa Irikoy koytara ceeci, nga mo ga hayey din tonton araŋ se.
32Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
32 Ya araŋ kuru kayna, wa si humburu! Zama a ga kaan araŋ Baabo se a m'araŋ no koytara.
33Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
33 Wa araŋ arzaka neera ka no sargayyaŋ. Wa fooloyaŋ te araŋ boŋ se kaŋ yaŋ si zeen, arzaka kaŋ si gaze. Beena ra n'a go, nangu kaŋ zay si maan, kollo mo si hasaraw te.
34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
34 Zama nango kaŋ ni arzaka go, noodin no ni bina mo ga bara.
35Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
35 Araŋ ma goro nda guddama, araŋ fitilley goono ga di.
36And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
36 Araŋ ma bara danga borey kaŋ yaŋ ga ngey koyo fonda guna, waati kaŋ a ga kaa ka fun hiijay bato do, zama d'a kaa ka kobi, i ma fiti a se sahãadin.
37Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
37 Albarkanteyaŋ no bannyey din kaŋ d'i koyo kaa, a ga kaa ka gar i goono g'a batu. Haciika ay ga ne araŋ se: a ga nga boŋ guddu, k'i gorandi ŋwaaro do, a ma kaa k'i saajaw.
38And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
38 Da mo cin batu hinkanta ra no a kaa, wala ihinzanta ra, k'i gar yaadin, albarkanteyaŋ no bannyey din.
39And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
39 Amma ma woone bay: da windikoyo ga bay saaya kaŋ no zay ga kaa, a si naŋ i ma nga fuwo fun.
40Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
40 Araŋ mo ma goro soolanteyaŋ, zama saaya kaŋ ra araŋ mana tammahã no Boro Izo ga kaa.»
41Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
41 Bitros ne: «Rabbi, iri se no ni goono ga misa wo ci, wala boro kulu se?»
42And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
42 Rabbi mo ne: «May no binde jine funo wo kaŋ gonda naanay da laakal, kaŋ a koyo n'a daŋ nga windo almayaaley boŋ, zama a m'i no ŋwaari alwaato kaŋ ga hagu ra?
43Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
43 Tamo wo ya albarkante no, d'a koyo kaa ka gar a goono ga te yaadin.
44Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
44 Haciika ay ga ne araŋ se: a g'a daŋ a ma nga jinayey kulu dabari.
45But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
45 Amma da tam din ga ne nga bina ra: ‹Ay koyo ga gay hal a ga kaa,› hal a ma soobay ka tamtaray hangasiney kar, alborey da wayborey, a ma ŋwa ka haŋ ka bugu mo.
46The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
46 Tamo din koyo ga kaa zaaro kaŋ a mana tammahã din ra, da saaya kaŋ a si bay ra. A g'a barzu k'a gaahamo kulu bagu-bagu k'a baa ye borey kaŋ sinda naanay banda.
47And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
47 Tam kaŋ na nga koyo miila bay, amma a mana soola, a mana koyo miila te mo, kal i m'a barzu gumo.
48But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
48 Amma boro kaŋ mana bay, a te mo haŋ kaŋ to barzuyaŋ, i g'a barzu kayna. Boro kulu mo kaŋ se i na iboobo no, a do no i ga iboobo ceeci. Nga mo kaŋ i na iboobo daŋ a kambe ra, a do no i ga ceeci ka bisa.
49I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
49 Ay kaa zama ay ma danji catu ndunnya boŋ. Doŋ day i ma jin k'a funsu!
50But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
50 Ay gonda baptisma fo kaŋ i g'ay baptisma te d'a. Ay go kankami ra mo hal a ma timme.
51Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
51 Wala araŋ ga tammahã ay kaa zama ay ma baani daŋ ndunnya ra no? Ay ga ne araŋ se: manti yaadin no bo, kala day fayyaŋ.
52For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
52 Zama ne ka koy jina boro gu ga bara windi fo ra kaŋ yaŋ ga fay da care. Ihinza ga gaaba nda ihinka, ihinka mo ga gaaba nda ihinza.
53The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
53 I ga fay da care: baaba ga gaaba nda nga ize aru, ize aro mo ga gaaba nda baabo. Nya ga gaaba nda ize way, ize wayo mo ga gaaba nda nyaŋo. Anzuray ga gaaba nda nga anzuray way, anzuray wayo mo ga gaaba nda nga anzuray.»
54And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
54 A ne borey marga se: «D'araŋ di beena hirri wayna funay haray, sahãadin no araŋ ga ne: ‹Hari go kaa,› yaadin mo no ga te.
55And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
55 Da haw ga faaru ka fun dandi kambe haray mo, kal araŋ ma ne: ‹Fufule ga te,› yaadin mo no a ga bara.
56Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
56 Araŋ wo munaficey! Araŋ ga hin ka ndunnya nda beena baaru fay-fay, amma zamana wo, ifo se no araŋ si hin k'a fasara?
57Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
57 Ifo se no araŋ bumbey, araŋ si ciiti nda wo kaŋ ga saba?
58When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
58 Zama za ni goono ga dira ni yanjekaaro banda ka koy alkaali do, fonda ra ni ma te dabari ka ni boŋ kaa. A ma si te hambara a ma konda nin alkaalo do, alkaalo mo ma ni no doogarey se, doogarey mo ma ni daŋ kaso ra.
59I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
59 Ay ga ne ni se: ni si fatta noodin abada, kala nda ni na tanka kulu me bana.»
