Wolof: New Testament

Luke

18

1And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint;
1 Noonu Yeesu wax leen itam léeb wii ngir xamal leen ne, war nañoo sax ci ñaan te bañ a xàddi.
2saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man:
2 Nee na: «Dafa amoon cib dëkk, benn àttekat bu ragalul Yàlla te faalewul mbindeef.
3and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
3 Amoon na itam ca dëkk ba jigéen ju jëkkëram faatu ju daan faral di ñëw ci moom, naan ko: “Àtte ma ak sama noon!”
4And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
4 Àttekat ba bañ lu yàgg, waaye am bés mu ne ci xelam: “Ragaluma Yàlla te faalewuma mbindeef,
5yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming.
5 waaye jigéen jii lakkal na ma; kon dinaa ko àtte, ngir mu bañatee ñëw sonal ma. Dina rey ak ay wax.”»
6And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith.
6 Boroom bi tegaat ca ne: «Dégluleen bu baax li àttekat bu bon boobu wax;
7And shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, and [yet] he is longsuffering over them?
7 ndax Yàlla du àtte jub mbooloom mi mu tànn te ñu koy ñaan wall guddi ak bëccëg? Ndax dina leen xaarloo?
8I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
8 Maa ngi leen koy wax, dina leen àtte jub ci lu gaaw. Waaye bu Doomu nit ki ñëwee, ndax dina fekk ngëm ci àddina?»
9And he spake also this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and set all others at nought:
9 Yeesu waxaat léeb wii nit, ñi foog ne jub nañu tey xeeb ñi ci des.
10Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
10 Mu ne: «Dafa amoon ñaari nit ñu dem ca kër Yàlla ga, di ñaan. Kenn ki ab Farisen la, ki ci des juutikat.
11The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
11 Farisen baa nga taxaw di ñaan ci xelam naan: “Yaw Yàlla, maa ngi lay sant ci li ma melul ni ñeneen ñiy sàcc, di def lu jubadi te di njaaloo, rawatina juutikat bii.
12I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I get.
12 Ayu-bés gu nekk damay woor ñaari yoon, di joxe asaka ci lépp lu ma wut.”
13But the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinner.
13 «Juutikat ba moom, ma nga taxaw fu sore te bëggul a siggi sax, xool ca asamaan. Waaye ma ngay fëgg dënnam te naan: “Yaw Yàlla, yërëm ma, man miy bàkkaarkat.”»
14I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
14 Yeesu teg ca ne: «Maa ngi leen koy wax, nit kooku, ba muy ñibbi këram, moom la Yàlla àtte ni ku jub, waaye du Farisen ba. Ndaxte képp kuy yékkatiku dees na la suufeel, te kuy suufeelu, ñu yékkati la.»
15And they were bringing unto him also their babes, that he should touch them: but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
15 Amoon na ay nit, ñuy indil Yeesu ay liir, ngir mu teg leen ay loxoom. Bi taalibe ya gisee loolu, ñu gëdd leen.
16But Jesus called them unto him, saying, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.
16 Waaye Yeesu woo leen ne: «Bàyyileen xale yi, ñu ñëw ci man, te buleen leen tere, ndaxte ñu mel ni ñoom ñoo yelloo nguuru Yàlla.
17Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.
17 Ci dëgg, maa ngi leen koy wax, woyoful ni xale, nangu nguuru Yàlla, doo ci man a dugg.»
18And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
18 Benn njiitu Yawut laaj Yeesu ne ko: «Kilifa gu baax gi, lu ma war a def, ba am wàll ci dund gu dul jeex?»
19And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, [even] God.
19 Yeesu tontu ko: «Lu tax nga wooye ma ku baax? Yàlla rekk a baax.
20Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and mother.
20 Xam nga ndigal yi: “Bul njaaloo, bul bóom, bul sàcc, bul seede lu dul dëgg, teralal sa ndey ak sa baay.”»
21And he said, All these things have I observed from my youth up.
21 Njiit la ne ko: «Loolu lépp sàmm naa ko li dale ci sama ndaw ba tey.»
22And when Jesus heard it, he said unto him, One thing thou lackest yet: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
22 Bi Yeesu déggee loolu, mu ne ko: «Lenn rekk moo la dese. Jaayal li nga am lépp, séddale ko miskin yi te dinga woomle ca asamaan; boo noppee, nga ñëw topp ci man.»
23But when he heard these things, he became exceeding sorrowful; for he was very rich.
23 Bi nit ka déggee loolu, mu am tiis, ndaxte ku bare woon alal la.
24And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
24 Yeesu xool ko, daldi ne: «Boroom alal, dugg ci nguuru Yàlla, lu jafee ngoogu!
25For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 Giléem jaar ci bën-bënu pusa moo gën a yomb boroom alal dugg ci nguuru Yàlla.»
26And they that heard it said, Then who can be saved?
26 Ñi doon déglu daldi ne: «Kon nag ku man a mucc?»
27But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
27 Yeesu tontu ne: «Li të nit ñi, tëwul Yàlla.»
28And Peter said, Lo, we have left our own, and followed thee.
28 Noonu Piyeer ne: «Nun de, dëddu nanu li nu am lépp, topp la.»
29And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
29 Yeesu ne leen: «Ci dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, képp ku dëddu kër walla jabar walla ay doomi ndey walla ay waajur walla ay doom ngir nguuru Yàlla,
30who shall not receive manifold more in this time, and in the world to come eternal life.
30 dinga am tey jii ay yooni yoon, ak dund gu dul jeex ëllëg.»
31And he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets shall be accomplished unto the Son of man.
31 Yeesu wéetoo ak fukki taalibe yi ak ñaar ne leen: «Nu ngi dem Yerusalem, te li yonent yi bindoon lépp ci mbirum Doomu nit ki dina mat.
32For he shall be delivered up unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon:
32 Dinañu ko jébbal ñi dul Yawut, ñu ñaawal ko, saaga ko, tifli ci kawam.
33and they shall scourge and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
33 Gannaaw bu ñu ko dóoree ay yar ba noppi, dinañu ko rey, waaye ca ñetteelu fan ba dina dekki.»
34And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, and they perceived not the things that were said.
34 Waaye taalibe ya dégguñu li mu leen doon wax; kàddu yooyu ump na leen, te xamuñu li waxi Yeesu yooyu tekki.
35And it came to pass, as he drew nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
35 Bi Yeesu di agsi dëkku Yeriko, am gumba gu toogoon ca wetu yoon wa, di yelwaan.
36and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant.
36 Naka la gumba ga dégg mbooloo di jàll, mu laaj lan moo xew.
37And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
37 Ñu wax ko ne: «Yeesum Nasaret moo fay jaar.»
38And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
38 Noonu mu yuuxu ne: «Yeesu, Sëtu Daawuda, yërëm ma!»
39And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
39 Ñi jiitu woon gëdd ko, ngir mu noppi. Waaye muy gën a yuuxu naan: «Sëtu Daawuda, yërëm ma!»
40And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
40 Noonu Yeesu taxaw, santaane ñu indil ko ko. Bi mu jegesee, Yeesu laaj ko ne:
41What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
41 «Loo bëggoon ma defal la ko?» Mu ne ko: «Sang bi, damaa bëgg a gis.»
42And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight; thy faith hath made thee whole.
42 Noonu Yeesu ne ko: «Na say bët gis! Sa ngëm faj na la.»
43And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
43 Ca saa sa mu daldi gis. Noonu mu topp ci Yeesu, di màggal Yàlla. Mbooloo mépp gis loolu, di sant Yàlla.
