1In the mean time, when the many thousands of the multitude were gathered together, insomuch that they trod 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 Gannaaw loolu, naka la mbooloo ma dajaloo ba mat ay junniy junniy nit, di tancante, Yeesu tàmbalee wax jëmale ca taalibeem ya ne leen: «Moytuleen lawiiru Farisen ya, li di naaféq.
2But there is nothing covered up, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
2 Amul dara lu nëbbu lu ñu warul a biral, mbaa lu kumpa lu ñu warul a siiwal.
3Wherefore whatsoever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and what ye have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
3 Looloo tax lu ngeen wax ci biir lëndëm, dees na ko dégg ci leer. Lu ngeen déey nit ci biir néeg, dees na ko yégle ci kaw taax yi.
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 «Maa ngi leen koy wax, samay xarit, buleen ragal ñu man a rey yaram, ba noppi dootuñu man a def dara.
5But I will warn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, who after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
5 Dinaa leen wax nag ki ngeen war a ragal: ragal-leen Ki nga xam ne bu reyee ba noppi, am sañ-sañu sànni ca safara. Waaw maa ngi leen koy wax, ragal-leen kooku.
6Are not five sparrows sold for two pence? and not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.
6 Juróomi picci rammatu, ndax duñu ko jaay ci ñaari dërëm? Moona Yàlla fàttewul benn ci ñoom.
7But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
7 Seen kawari bopp sax waññees na leen. Kon buleen ragal dara, yéena gën ndiiraanu rammatu.
8And I say unto you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
8 «Te maa ngi leen koy wax, képp ku ma nangu ci kanamu nit ñi, Doomu nit ki dina la nangu ci kanamu malaakay Yàlla yi.
9but he that denieth me in the presence of men shall be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
9 Waaye ku ma gàntu ci kanamu nit ñi, dinañu la gàntu ci kanamu malaakay Yàlla yi.
10And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.
10 Ku sosal Doomu nit ki, dinañu la baal, waaye kuy sosal Xel mu Sell mi, duñu la ko baal.
11And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
11 «Bu ñu leen yóbboo ca jàngu ya, ca kanamu kilifa ya ak àttekat ya, buleen am xel ñaar ci li ngeen war a tontu ak nan ngeen war a tontoo, walla lu ngeen war a wax,
12for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that very hour what ye ought to say.
12 ndaxte Xel mu Sell mi dina leen xamal ca waxtu woowa li ngeen war a wax.»
13And one out of the multitude said unto him, Teacher, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me.
13 Am ca mbooloo ma ku ne Yeesu: «Kilifa gi, joxal ndigal sama mag, mu sédd ma ci sunu ndono.»
14But he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
14 Yeesu tontu ko ne: «Sama waay, kan moo ma fal àttekat ci seen kaw, walla mu teg ma fi, ma di leen séddaleel seen alal?»
15And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
15 Noonu mu ne leen ñoom ñépp: «Moytuleen bëgge, ndaxte bakkanu nit ajuwul ci alalam, ak lu mu baree-bare.»
16And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
16 Noonu mu dégtal leen wii léeb ne: «Dafa amoon waa ju bare alal, te ay toolam nangu lool,
17and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits?
17 muy werante ci xelam naan: “Nu ma war a def? Ndaxte amatuma fu ma dajale sama ngóob mi.”
18And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goods.
18 Noonu mu ne: “Nii laay def: daaneel sama sàq yi, defaraat yu gën a réy, ba man cee dajale sama dugub ji ak sama am-am jépp.
19And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
19 Te dinaa kañ sama bopp ne: ’Yaw mii, am nga alal ju bare ju man a dem ay ati at; noppalal sa yaram, di lekk, di naan, tey bég.’ ”
20But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?
20 Waaye Yàlla ne ko: “Ñàkk xel! Guddig tey, dees na jël sa bakkan. Kon li nga dajale lépp, ku koy moom?”
21So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
21 «Kiy dajale alal ngir boppam nag te amul dara ca kanam Yàlla, lu mel nii moo lay dal.»
22And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for [your] life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.
22 Noonu Yeesu daldi ne taalibeem yi: «Loolu moo tax maa ngi leen koy wax, buleen seen bakkan jaaxal, ci lu ngeen war a lekk. Buleen jaaxle it ngir seen yaram ci lu ngeen war a sol,
23For the life is more than the food, and the body than the raiment.
23 ndaxte bakkan moo gën lekk, te yaram a gën koddaay.
24Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds!
24 Seetleen baaxoñ yi: duñu ji, duñu góob, amuñu dencukaay, amuñu sàq, teewul Yàllaa ngi leen di dundal. Céy ni ngeen ëppe maana picc yi!
25And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto the measure of his life?
25 Ana kan ci yéen ci kaw njaaxleem, moo man a yokk ab waxtu ci àppam?
26If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning the rest?
26 Su fekkee lu tuuti loolu rekk mënuleen koo def, kon lu tax ngeen di jaaxle ci li ci des?
27Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
27 «Seetleen ni tóor-tóori ñax mi di saxe. Duñu liggéey, duñu ëcc, waaye maa ngi leen di wax ne, Suleymaan sax ci ndamam, soluwul woon ni benn ci ñoom.
28But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven; how much more [shall he clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
28 Yéen ñi néew ngëm! Bu Yàlla woddee nii ñaxu tool yi, miy sax tey te bu subaa ñu def ko ci taal bi, ndax du leen gën a wodd?
29And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
29 Buleen di wut lu ngeen di lekk walla lu ngeen di naan; te buleen ci jaaxle.
30For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
30 Ndaxte loolu lépp, ñi xamul Yàlla ñoo koy wut. Te seen Baay xam na ne, soxla ngeen ko.
31Yet seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you.
31 Waaye wutleen nguuram, te loolu lépp dina leen ko ci dollil.
32Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
32 «Buleen ragal dara, yéen coggal ju ndaw ji, ndaxte dafa soob seen Baay, mu jagleel leen nguuram.
33Sell that which ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth.
33 Jaayleen seen alal, saraxe ko, ngir sàkku ay mbuusi xaalis yu dul bënn, maanaam alal ju dul jeex ca laaxira; foofa sàcc du ko jege te max du ko yàq.
34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
34 Ndaxte fu sa alal nekk, fa la sa xol nekk itam.
35Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning;
35 «Takkuleen bu dëgër te bàyyi làmp yi tàkk.
36and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him.
36 Mel-leen ni ay surga yuy xaar seen njaatige buy jóge ca céet ga, ndax bu fëggee bunt ba, ñu ubbil ko ca saa sa.
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 sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them.
37 Surga yooyee seen njaatige fekkul ñuy nelaw, ba mu agsee, ñoo gën a yeyoo ngërëm. Ci dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, njaatige bi dina sol yérey waañ, wax leen ñu toog lekk, ba noppi indil leen ñam wi.
38And if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find [them] so blessed are those [servants].
38 Su fekkee seen njaatige ci xaaju guddi lay ñëw sax, walla bu suuf seddee, te fekk leen noonu, surga yooyu ñoo gën a yeyoo ngërëm.
39But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have left his house to be broken through.
39 Waaye xamleen lii: bu boroom kër gi xamoon ban waxtu la sàcc bi di ñëw, du ko bàyyi, mu toj këram.
40Be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.
40 Yéen itam taxawleen jonn, ndaxte Doomu nit ki dina ñëw ci waxtu wu ngeen ko séenuwul.»
41And Peter said, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even unto all?
41 Piyeer ne Yeesu: «Boroom bi, ndax dangay dégtal léeb wii ngir nun rekk walla ngir mbooloo mépp?»
42And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall set over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?
42 Boroom bi tontu ko ne: «Kan moo nekk surga bu takku te teey, bu njaatigeem teg ci waa kër gi, ngir mu leen di dundal ci jamono ji?
43Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
43 Bu njaatigeem ñëwee te gis mu def noonu, surga boobu dina am ngërëm.
44Of a truth I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath.
44 Ci dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, njaatige bi dina ko teg ci alalam jépp.
45But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
45 Waaye su fekkee surga ba da ne ci xelam: “Sama njaatige day yéex a ñëw,” ba tax mu tàmbalee dóor surga ya ca des ak mbindaan ya, di lekk te di naan, di màndi,
46the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful.
46 kon njaatige ba dina ñëw ci bés bu mu ko séenuwul ak waxtu wu mu xamul. Dina ko dóor ay dóor yu metti, jox ko añub ñi gëmul Yàlla.
47And that servant, who knew his lord's will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes];
47 «Surga bi xam bëgg-bëggu njaatigeem, te waajul mbaa mu takku def ko, dinañu ko dóor dóor yu metti.
48but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more.
48 Waaye surga bi xamul bëgg-bëggu njaatigeem, te def lu yelloo ay dóor, dinañu ko dóor dóor yu néew. Ku ñu jox lu bare dees na la feyiku lu bare. Ku ñu dénk lu bare, dees na la laajaat lu ko ëpp.
49I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled?
49 «Damaa ñëw ngir indi safara si ci àddina, te bëgg naa xaat taal bi tàkk.
50But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
50 Fàww ñu sóob ma ci metit, te ba looluy mat, duma noppalu.
51Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
51 Ndax dangeen a xalaat ne, damaa ñëw ngir indi jàmm ci àddina? Déedéet. Maa ngi leen koy wax, damaa ñëw ngir indi féewaloo.
52for there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
52 Gannaawsi tey, bu juróomi nit bokkee genn kër, dinañu féewaloo. Ñett dinañu féewaloo ak ñaar ñi ci des, ñaar ñi féewaloo ak ñett ñooñu.
53They shall be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother in law against her daughter in law, and daughter in law against her mother in law.
53 Baay bi dina féewaloo ak doom ji, doom ji ak baayam. Ndey dina féewaloo ak doomam ju jigéen; doom ju jigéen ji ak ndeyam. Goro dina féewaloo ak jabaru doomam; jabaru nit ak goroom.»
54And he said to the multitudes also, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it cometh to pass.
54 Yeesu neeti mbooloo ma: «Bu ngeen gisee mu xiin ci sowu, dangeen naan ca saa sa: “Dina taw,” te mooy am.
55And when [ye see] a south wind blowing, ye say, There will be a scorching heat; and it cometh to pass.
55 Te bu ngeen yégee ngelaw liy uppe sudd, ngeen ne: “Dina tàng tàngaay wu metti,” te mooy am.
56Ye hypocrites, ye know how to interpret the face of the earth and the heaven; but how is it that ye know not how to interpret this time?
56 Naaféq yi ngeen doon! Man ngeen a ràññee melow asamaan ak suuf, waaye lu tax mënuleen a ràññee li jamonoy léegi ji di tekki?
57And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
57 «Lu tax it dungeen àtteel seen bopp liy jëf ju jub?
58For as thou art going with thine adversary before the magistrate, on the way give diligence to be quit of him; lest haply he drag thee unto the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer shall cast thee into prison.
58 Bu la nit jiiñee dara, ba ngeen ànd di dem ca àttekat ba, nanga fexee juboo ak moom ci yoon wi. Lu ko moy, dina la yóbbu ci yoon, yoon jébbal la ca loxoy alkaati ba, mu tëj la.
59I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the very last mite.
59 Maa ngi la koy wax, doo génn foofa mukk te feyuloo fiftin bi ci mujj.»
