¹And he called unto him his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of disease and all manner of sickness.

¹ Noonu Yeesu woo ca moom fukki taalibeem ya ak ñaar, jox leen sañ-sañu dàq rab yi, tey faj jàngoro yépp ak wéradi yépp.

²Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother;

² Fukki ndaw ak ñaar, ya Yeesu yónni woon nag, nii lañu tuddoon: ku jëkk ki mooy Simoŋ mi ñuy wax Piyeer, ak Andare mi bokk ak moom ndey ak baay; Saag doomu Sebede, ak Yowaana rakkam;l

³Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

³ Filib ak Bartelemi; Tomaa ak Macë, juutikat ba woon; Saag doomu Alfe, ak Tade;l

⁴Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

⁴ Simoŋ, mi bokk ca mbooloo, ma ñu tudde Ñi farlu ci moom seen réew; ak Yudaa Iskariyo, mi nar a wor Yeesu.

⁵These twelve Jesus sent forth, and charged them, saying, Go not into [any] way of the Gentiles, and enter not into any city of the Samaritans:

⁵ Yeesu yónni fukk ñooñule ak ñaar, jox leen ndigal ne leen: «Buleen dem ci ñi dul Yawut mbaa dugg ci benn dëkku waa Samari.

⁶but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

⁶ Waaye demleen ci bànni Israyil, ñoom ñi réer niy xar.

⁷And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

⁷ Bu ngeen demee nag, yégleleen naan: “Nguuru Yàlla Aji Kawe ji jegesi na.”

⁸Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely ye received, freely give.

⁸ Fajleen ñi wopp, dekkal ñi dee, fajleen gaana yi te dàq rab yi. Cig neen ngeen ame, mayeleen cig neen.

⁹Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses;

⁹ Buleen dajale wurus, xaalis mbaa xànjar ci seeni maxtume.

¹⁰no wallet for [your] journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.

¹⁰ Buleen wut it mbuus ngir tukki mbaa ñaari turki, ay dàll mbaa aw yet, ndaxte liggéeykat yeyoo na dundam.

¹¹And into whatsoever city or village ye shall enter, search out who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go forth.

¹¹ «Bu fekkee ne agsi ngeen ci dëkk bu mag mbaa bu ndaw, nangeen fa seet ku fa am faayda, dal ca moom ba kera ngeen jóge dëkk ba.

¹²And as ye enter into the house, salute it.

¹² Bu ngeen di dugg ci kër nag, nuyooleen.

¹³And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

¹³ Bu fekkee ne kër ga yeyoo na ko, na seen jàmm wàcc ci ñoom, waaye bu ko yeyoowul, na seen yéene dellusi ci yéen.

¹⁴And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet.

¹⁴ Koo xam ne gàntu na leen, mbaa mu tanqamlu seeni wax, génnleen ca kër ga mbaa ca dëkk ba, yëlëb seen pëndu tànk.

¹⁵Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.

¹⁵ Ci dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, keroog bésub àtte ba, waa réewu Sodom ak Gomor ñooy tane dëkk boobu.

¹⁶Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

¹⁶ «Dégluleen, maa ngi leen di yónni, mel ni ay xar ci biir ay bukki. Muusleen nag niy jaan, te lewet niy pitax.

¹⁷But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in theirs synagogues they will scourge you;

¹⁷ Waaye moytuleen nit ñi, ndaxte dinañu leen jébbal àttekat yi te dóor leen ay yar ci seeni jàngu.

¹⁸yea and before governors and kings shall ye be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.

¹⁸ Dees na leen yóbbu ngir man ci kanami boroom réew ak i buur, ngir ngeen seede ma ci ñoom ak ci ñi dul Yawut.

¹⁹But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak.

¹⁹ Boo xamee ne nag jébbale nañu leen, buleen am xel ñaar ci li ngeen di wax, mbaa ni ngeen koy waxe. Ndaxte ca waxtu woowa sax dingeen jot li ngeen war a wax;

²⁰For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you.

²⁰ du yéenay wax, waaye Xelum seen Baay mooy wax ci yéen.

²¹And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child: and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.

²¹ «Mag dina joxe rakkam ci dee, baay joxe doomam; ay doom it dinañu jóg, bañ seeni waajur, di leen reylu.

²²And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.

²² Te yéen nag, ñépp dinañu leen bañ ndax sama tur; waaye ku muñ ba muj ga, mucc.

²³But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

²³ Boo xamee ne fitnaal nañu leen ci dëkk bii, demleen ca ba ca kanam. Ci dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, dungeen man a wër dëkki Israyil yépp, te Doomu nit ki ñëwul.»

²⁴A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord.

²⁴ Yeesu teg ca ne: «Taalibe gënul kilifaam, te jaam gënul sangam.

²⁵It is enough for the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household!

²⁵ Bu taalibe yemee ak kilifaam demin, doy na; jaam it ni sangam. Ndegam tudde nañu boroom kër gi Beelsebul, astemaak waa kër gi.

²⁶Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

²⁶ Kon nag buleen leen ragal, ndaxte amul dara lu nëbbu, lu ñu warul a biral, mbaa luy kumpa lu ñu warul a siiwal.

²⁷What I tell you in the darkness, speak ye in the light; and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the house-tops.

²⁷ Li ma leen wax ci biir lëndëm, waxleen ko ci leer; li ma leen déey, yégleleen ko ci kaw taax yi.

²⁸And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

²⁸ Te buleen ragal ñu man a rey yaram, te mënuñoo rey ruu, waaye ragal-leen Ki man a sànk yaram ak ruu ci safara.

²⁹Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father:

²⁹ Ñaari picci rammatu, ndax duñu ko jaay ci dërëm? Waaye benn ci ñoom du daanu ci suuf te soobul seen Baay.

³⁰but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

³⁰ Seen kawari bopp sax, waññees na leen.

³¹Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

³¹ Kon buleen ragal dara, yéena gën ndiiraanu rammatu.

³²Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven.

³² «Koo xam ne nangu nga ma ci kanamu nit ñi, man itam dinaa la nangu ci sama kanamu Baay, bi nekk ci kaw.

³³But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.

³³ Waaye ku ma gàntu ci kanamu nit ñi, man itam dinaa la gàntu ci sama kanamu Baay, bi nekk ci kaw.

³⁴Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

³⁴ «Te it buleen defe ne, damaa ñëw ngir indi jàmm ci àddina; ñëwuma ngir indi jàmm, waaye jaasi laa indaale.

³⁵For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law:

³⁵ Ndaxte ñëw naa ngir féewale doom ak baayam, doom ju jigéen ak ndeyam, jabar ak goroom;

³⁶and a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household.

³⁶ te nooni nit ñooy waa këram.

³⁷He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

³⁷ Ku ma gënalul sa ndey walla sa baay, yeyoowuloo ma; ku ma gënalul sa doom ju góor walla ju jigéen, yeyoowuloo ma.

³⁸And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.

³⁸ Koo xam ne kii nanguwuloo ñàkk sa bakkan, ba mel ni ku ñu daaj ci bant, te nga topp ma, yeyoowuloo ma.

³⁹He that findeth his life shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

³⁹ Kuy rawale sa bakkan, ñàkk ko, te ku ñàkk sa bakkan ndax man, jotaat ko.

⁴⁰He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

⁴⁰ «Te lii itam am na, ku leen nangu, nangu na ma, te ku ma nangu, nangu na ki ma yónni.

⁴¹He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward: and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

⁴¹ Ku nangu yonent ndax yónnentam, dina jot ci peyu yonent; te ku nangu ku jub ndax njubteem, dina jot ci peyu ku jub.

⁴²And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you he shall in no wise lose his reward.

⁴² Ci dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, koo xam ne kii may na kaasu ndox mu sedd rekk kenn ci ñi gën a ndaw, ndax sama taalibe la, kooku du ñàkk yoolam mukk.»
