Wolof: New Testament

John

14

1Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, believe also in me.
1 «Buleen jàq. Gëmleen Yàlla te gëm ma.
2In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.
2 Am na néeg yu bare ca sama kër Baay, bu dul woon noonu, ma wax leen ko, ndaxte maa ngi dem defaral leen fa ngeen di dëkk.
3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.
3 Te su ma leen defaralee bérab booba ba noppi, dinaa dellusi, yóbbaale leen, ba fu ma nekk, ngeen nekk fa, yéen itam.
4And whither I go, ye know the way.
4 Te fa ma jëm, xam ngeen yoon wi.»
5Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way?
5 Tomaa ne ko: «Boroom bi, xamunu fa nga jëm. Kon nan lanuy man a xame yoon wi?»
6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.
6 Yeesu ne ko: «Man maay yoon wi, maay dëgg te dund it man la. Kenn du ñëw ci Baay bi te jaarul ci man.
7If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
7 Ndegam xam ngeen ma, dingeen xam itam sama Baay. Lu weesu tey, xam ngeen ko te gis ngeen ko.»
8Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
8 Filib ne ko: «Boroom bi, won nu Baay bi; loolu doy na nu.»
9Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou, Show us the Father?
9 Yeesu tontu ko ne: «Ni ma yàggeek yéen te ba tey Filib, xamuloo ma? Ku ma gis, gis nga Baay bi. Kon nag nan ngay man a laaje naan: “Won nu Baay bi”?
10Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me doeth his works.
10 Xamuloo ne maa ngi nekk ci Baay bi te Baay baa ngi ci man? Kàddu yi ma leen di wax jógewuñu ci man, waaye Baay bi nekk ci man mooy matal ay jëfam.
11Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
11 Gëmleen li ma leen wax ne, maa ngi ci Baay bi te Baay baa ngi ci man; walla boog, gëmleen ndax jëf yi.
12Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father.
12 Ci dëgg-dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax: képp ku ma gëm dina def, moom itam, jëf yi may def. Dina def sax yu gën a màgg, ndaxte maa ngi dem ci Baay bi.
13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
13 Te it lu ngeen ñaan ci sama tur dinaa ko def, ngir Doom ji feeñal ndamu Baay bi.
14If ye shall ask anything in my name, that will I do.
14 Lu ngeen ñaan ci sama tur, maa koy def.
15If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments.
15 «Bu ngeen ma bëggee, dingeen topp sama ndigal.
16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever,
16 Te dinaa ñaan Baay bi, mu jox leen beneen Dimbalikat, buy nekk ak yéen ba abadan.
17[even] the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive; for it beholdeth him not, neither knoweth him: ye know him; for he abideth with you, and shall be in you.
17 Kooku mooy Xelu Yàlla, mi yor dëgg. Àddina du ko man a nangu, ndaxte gisu ko te xamu ko. Yéen xam ngeen ko, ndaxte mi ngi dëkk ak yéen te dina nekk ci yéen.
18I will not leave you desolate: I come unto you.
18 Duma leen bàyyi ngeen wéet. Dinaa dellusi ci yéen.
19Yet a little while, and the world beholdeth me no more; but ye behold me: because I live, ye shall live also.
19 Des na tuuti ci kanam, àddina du ma gisati; waaye yéen dingeen ma gis. Dinaa dund, moo tax yéen itam dingeen dund.
20In that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
20 Bu keroogee, dingeen xam nag ne, nekk naa ci sama Baay, yéen it nekk ngeen ci man, te maa ngi nekk ci yéen.
21He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him.
21 Ki ma bëgg, mooy kiy nangu samay ndigal te di ko topp. Ku ma bëgg, Baay bi bëgg la, te man dinaa la bëgg, di la feeñu.»
22Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto him, Lord, what is come to pass that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
22 Yudaa --du Yudaa Iskariyo de, beneen la woon — ne ko: «Boroom bi, lu xew, ba nga nar noo feeñu nun rekk, te doo feeñu àddina sépp?»
23Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
23 Yeesu tontu ko ne: «Ku ma bëgg dina sàmm sama kàddu. Sama Baay dina ko bëgg te nun dinanu ñëw ci moom, te dëkk ci moom.
24He that loveth me not keepeth not my words: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
24 Ku ma bëggul doo sàmm sama kàddu. Li may wax nag, jógewul ci man, waaye mi ngi soqikoo ci ki ma yónni.
25These things have I spoken unto you, while [yet] abiding with you.
25 «Lii dama leen koy wax ci bi may nekk ak yéen.
26But the Comforter, [even] the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you.
26 Waaye Dimbalikat, bi leen Baay bi di yónnee ci sama tur, muy Xelam mu Sell, dina leen jàngal lépp, di leen fàttali li ma leen waxoon lépp.
27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
27 Jàmm laa leen bàyyeel, sama jàmm laa leen jox, jàmm ju àddina mënul a joxe. Buleen jàq, buleen tiit.
28Ye heard how I said to you, I go away, and I come unto you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced, because I go unto the Father: for the Father is greater than I.
28 «Dégg ngeen li ma leen wax: “Dinaa dem, waaye dinaa dellusi ci yéen.” Bu ngeen ma bëggoon, dingeen bég ci li may dem ca Baay ba, ndaxte Baay bee ma gën a màgg.
29And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe.
29 Wax naa leen ko nag léegi, bala looloo ñëw, ngir bu waxtu wa agsee, ngeen gëm.
30I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world cometh: and he hath nothing in me;
30 Lu weesu tey duma amati jotu waxtaan ak yéen, ndaxte malaaka mu bon mi jiite àddina saa ngi ñëw. Kooku manalu ma dara.
31but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
31 Waaye àddina si war na xam ne, bëgg naa Baay bi te ni ma ko Baay bi sante, ni laay jëfe. Jógleen, nu dem!
