¹And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.

¹ Noonu Yeesu daldi leen wax ciy léeb. Mu ne leen: «Amoon na fi nit ku jëmbët toolu réseñ. Mu ñag tool bi, gas pax ngir nal ci réseñ yi, tabax wottukaay, ba noppi batale ko ay beykat, daldi tukki.

²And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

² «Bi tool bi ñoree nag, mu yónni surga ci ñoom, ngir jot wàllam ci meññeef gi.

³And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

³ Waaye ñu jàpp ko, dóor ko ay yar, dàq ko, mu dellu ak loxoy neen.

⁴And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.

⁴ Mu yónniwaat beneen surga, waaye ñu dóor ko ci bopp, toroxal ko.

⁵And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.

⁵ Mu yónneeti beneen surga, ñu rey ko. Mu yónni ñeneen ñu bare, ñii ñu dóor leen, ñii ñu rey.

⁶Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

⁶ «Noonu mu dese ko kenn rekk, di doomam ji mu bëgg. Mujj mu yónni ko naan: “Xëy na ñu weg sama doom.”

⁷But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.

⁷ Waaye beykat yi daldi ne ci seen biir: “Kii moo war a donn tool bi; nan ko rey, moom ndono li.”

⁸And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

⁸ Ñu jàpp ko nag, rey, sànni ci biti.»

⁹What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.

⁹ Noonu Yeesu laaj leen: «Boroom tool bi nag, lu muy def? Xanaa ñëw, rey beykat ya, dénk tool ba ñeneen.

¹⁰And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

¹⁰ Ndax musuleen a jàng wax jii ci Mbind mi?“Doj wi tabaxkat yi sànni,mujj na di doju koñ;

¹¹This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

¹¹ ci Boroom bi la loolu jóge,te yéemu nanu ci.”»

¹²And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.

¹² Noonu kilifa yi di wut pexem jàpp ko, ndaxte xam nañu ne, ñoom lay wax. Waaye ragal nañu mbooloo mi, ba ñu bàyyi ko fa, dem.

¹³And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.

¹³ Bi loolu amee ñu yónni ci Yeesu ay Farisen ak ñu far ak buur bi Erodd, ngir fiir ko ci waxam.

¹⁴And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

¹⁴ Ñu ñëw ci moom nag ne ko: «Kilifa gi, xam nanu ne ku wóor nga, te ragaloo kenn, ndaxte seetuloo jëmmi nit, waaye dangay xamle yoonu Yàlla ci bu wóor. Wax nu, ndax jaadu na, nu fey buur bi Sesaar galag am déet? Nu fey ko walla nu bañ koo fey?»

¹⁵Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.

¹⁵ Waaye Yeesu xam na seen naaféq, mu ne leen: «Lu tax ngeen bëgg maa fiir? Indil-leen ma posetu denariyon, ma seet.»

¹⁶And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.

¹⁶ Ñu jox ko poset bi. Noonu Yeesu laaj leen: «Kan lañu ci def nataalam ak turam?» Ñu tontu ko: «Sesaar.»

¹⁷And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.

¹⁷ Noonu Yeesu ne leen: «Joxleen nag Sesaar li Sesaar moom, te jox Yàlla li Yàlla moom.» Ñu daldi waaru ci mbiram.

¹⁸Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

¹⁸ Gannaaw loolu ay Sadusen ñëw ci moom, ngir laaj ko lenn. Sadusen yi nag gëmuñu ne, ndekkite am na.

¹⁹Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

¹⁹ Ñu ne ko: «Kilifa gi, Musaa bindal na nu ne, ku magam faatu, te bàyyiwul doom ak jabaram, kooku war na donn jigéen ji, ba yékkati giiru magam.

²⁰Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

²⁰ «Amoon na fi nag juróom-ñaari góor, ñu bokk ndey ak baay. Taaw ba takk jabar, faatu, te bàyyiwul doom.

²¹And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.

²¹ Ñaareel ba takk jigéen ja, faatu moom itam te bàyyiwul doom. Ñetteel bi it noonu.

²²And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.

²² Mbir mi dem na nag, ba juróom-ñaar ñooñu ñépp dem, te kenn bàyyiwu fi doom. Mujj jigéen ja faatu moom itam.

²³In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

²³ Ci ndekkite li nag kan ci ñoom moo ko war a donn, fekk ku nekk ci juróom-ñaar ñi mas na koo takk?»

²⁴And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

²⁴ Yeesu tontu leen ne: «Mbaa du dangeen a nekk cig réer, ci li ngeen xamul Mbind mi mbaa kàttanu Yàlla?

²⁵For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

²⁵ Ndaxte keroog ndekkite li kenn du am jabar, kenn du am jëkkër, waaye dinañu mel ni malaaka yi ci kaw.

²⁶And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

²⁶ Te sax li jëm ci mbirum ndekkite, xanaa jànguleen lii Yàlla wax ci Tawreetu Musaa ci saarum ngarab si: “Maay Yàllay Ibraayma, Isaaxa ak Yanqóoba”?

²⁷He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

²⁷ Li ci génn mooy, nekkul Yàllay ñi dee, waaye Yàllay ñiy dund la. Kon sóobu ngeen cig réer.»

²⁸And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

²⁸ Bi ñuy werante, benn xutbakat ñëw, dégg seen waxtaan, gis ne Yeesu tontu na leen tont lu leer. Mu laaj ko nag: «Ci ndigal yi, ban moo ci gën a màgg?»

²⁹And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

²⁹ Noonu Yeesu tontu ko ne: «Bii: “Bànni Israyil, déglul! Yàlla sunu Boroom moom rekk mooy Buur.

³⁰And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

³⁰ Kon nanga bëgg Yàlla sa Boroom ak sa xol bépp ak sa bakkan bépp, sa xel mépp ak sa kàttan gépp.”

³¹And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

³¹ Te ñaareel bi, lii la: “Nanga bëgg sa moroom, ni nga bëgge sa bopp.” Ndigal yii ñoo sut yépp.»

³²And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

³² Xutbakat bi ne ko: «Waaw kilifa gi, li nga wax dëgg la: Yàlla kenn la, te amul jeneen Yàlla ju dul moom.

³³And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

³³ Te nga bëgg ko ak sa xol bépp ak sa xel mépp ak sa kàttan gépp moo dàq bépp sarax bu ñuy yóbbu ngir màggal Yàlla ak bu ñuy lakk ca saraxalukaay ba.»

³⁴And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

³⁴ Bi Yeesu gisee nag ne, tontu na ak xel, mu ne ko: «Sorewuloo nguuru Yàlla.» Bi mu waxee loolu, kenn ñemeetu ko laaj dara.

³⁵And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?

³⁵ Bi nga xamee ne Yeesu ma nga doon jàngale ca kër Yàlla ga, mu laaj nit ñi: «Lu tax xutbakat yi di wax ne, Almasi bi mooy sëtu Daawuda?

³⁶For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

³⁶ Daawuda moom wax na ci kàttanu Xel mu Sell mi naan:“Boroom bi nee na sama Boroom:«“Toogal ci sama ndeyjoor,ba kera may daaneelsay noon ci sa kanam.»“ “

³⁷David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

³⁷ Gannaaw Daawuda nag wooye na ko: “Boroom bi,” naka mu nekke sëtam?» Noonu mbooloo mu mag mi di ko déglu ak bànneex.

³⁸And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,

³⁸ Bi Yeesu di jàngale nag, mu ne leen: «Moytuleen xutbakat yi; dañoo bëgg di doxantu, sol ay mbubb yu réy, te ñépp di leen nuyoo ñaari loxo ci pénc mi.

³⁹And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:

³⁹ Ci jàngu yi, féete kanam lañuy wut, te toogu yu yiw lañuy taamu ci reeri xew yi.

⁴⁰Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

⁴⁰ Ñu ngi lekk alalu jigéen ñi seeni jëkkër faatu, di ñaan Yàlla ay ñaani ngistal yu gudd. Seen mbugal dina gën a tar.»

⁴¹And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

⁴¹ Noonu Yeesu toog ca kër Yàlla ga, janook ndab, yi ñuy def sarax ngir Yàlla, muy xool nit ña cay dugal seen xaalis. Am nag ay boroom alal yu ci di def xaalis bu bare.

⁴²And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

⁴² Gannaaw ga daal benn jigéen ju jëkkëram faatu, te mu ñàkk, ñëw, def ci ñaari poseti xànjar, yu matul sax dërëm.

⁴³And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

⁴³ Bi ko Yeesu gisee, mu woo taalibe yi ne leen: «Ci dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, li jigéen ju ñàkk jee dugal ca defukaay ya moo ëpp maana alalu ñeneen ñi ñépp.

⁴⁴For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

⁴⁴ Ñoom ñépp dañu sàkku ci seen barele, waaye moom dafa sàkku ci néewleem, ba far ko joxe lépp, toog.»
