¹Yiwen wass yellan d ass n westeɛfu, Sidna Ɛisa illa yețwaɛreḍ ɣer wexxam n yiwen seg yimeqqranen n yifariziyen iwakken ad yefteṛ. Wid yellan dinna țɛassan-t d acu ara yexdem.

¹And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the rulers, [who was] of the Pharisees, to eat bread on [the] sabbath, that *they* were watching him.

²Yella dinna yiwen wergaz yesɛan lehlak n ubezzug.

²And behold, there was a certain dropsical [man] before him.

³Sidna Ɛisa yenṭeq ɣer lɛulama n ccariɛa d yifariziyen yenna-yasen : D acu twalam ? D leḥlal win ara isseḥlun deg wass n westeɛfu neɣ ala ?

³And Jesus answering spoke unto the doctors of the law and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?

⁴Imi yiwen deg-sen ur d-yenṭiq, Sidna Ɛisa iqeṛṛeb ɣer umuḍin-nni, yesseḥla-t, iserreḥ-as ad iṛuḥ.

⁴But they were silent. And taking him he healed him and let him go.

⁵Dɣa yenna i wiyaḍ : Anwa deg-wen ma yeɣli-yas mmi-s neɣ wezger-ines ɣer lbir, ur t-id-ițekkes ara ɣas ma d ass n westeɛfu ?

⁵And answering he said to them, Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a well, that he does not straightway pull him up on the sabbath day?

⁶Yiwen ur izmir a s-d-yerr awal.

⁶And they were not able to answer him to these things.

⁷Mi gwala wid yețwaɛerḍen bdan țextiṛin imukan imezwura, Sidna Ɛisa yewwi-yasen-d lemtel-agi yenna yasen :

⁷And he spoke a parable to those that were invited, remarking how they chose out the first places, saying to them,

⁸M'ara k-id-yeɛreḍ yiwen ɣer tmeɣṛa, ɣurek ur țțaṭṭaf ara amkan amezwaru ! Axaṭer yezmer ad yili yiwen ger inebgawen yesɛan leqdeṛ akteṛ-ik ,

⁸When thou art invited by any one to a wedding, do not lay thyself down in the first place at table, lest perhaps a more honourable than thou be invited by him,

⁹a d-yas win i kkun-iɛerḍen i sin a k-yini : « eǧǧ-as amkan-nni i wagi ! » Imiren aț-țenneḥcameḍ, aț-țṛuḥeḍ aț-țeṭṭfeḍ amkan aneggaru.

⁹and he who invited thee and him come and say to thee, Give place to this [man], and then thou begin with shame to take the last place.

¹⁰Lameɛna m'ara tețwaɛeṛḍeḍ, ṭṭef amkan aneggaru iwakken m'ara d-yas win i k-id-iɛerḍen, a k-yini : « ay aḥbib ɛeddi-d ɣer zdat ! » Imiren aț-țesɛuḍ leqdeṛ zdat inebgawen meṛṛa.

¹⁰But when thou hast been invited, go and put thyself down in the last place, that when he who has invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour before all that are lying at table with thee;

¹¹Axaṭer kra n win yessalayen iman-is a t-id-yessers Ṛebbi , ma d win yesrusuyen iman-is a t-yerfed.

¹¹for every one that exalts himself shall be abased, and he that abases himself shall be exalted.

¹²Yenna daɣen i win i t-id iɛeṛḍen : M'ara tebɣuḍ aț-țseččeḍ, ur d-ɛeṛṛeḍ ara imdukkal-ik neɣ atmaten ik, ur d-ɛeṛṛeḍ ara imawlan-ik neɣ lǧiran-ik imeṛkantiyen ; m'ulac a k ɛerḍen ula d nutni iwakken a k-d-rren lxiṛ-ik.

¹²And he said also to him that had invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsfolk, nor rich neighbours, lest it may be they also should invite thee in return, and a recompense be made thee.

¹³Lameɛna m'ara txedmeḍ tameɣṛa, ɛṛeḍ-ed igellilen, ineɛyuba, iquḍaren d yiderɣalen.

¹³But when thou makest a feast, call poor, crippled, lame, blind:

¹⁴Ili-k di lfeṛḥ imi ur zmiren ara a k-d-rren lxiṛ-ik, axaṭer lxiṛ-ik a k-id-yuɣal asm'ara d-ḥyun wid yellan d iḥeqqiyen ɣer Ṛebbi.

¹⁴and thou shalt be blessed; for they have not [the means] to recompense thee; for it shall be recompensed thee in the resurrection of the just.

¹⁵Mi gesla i imeslayen-agi, yiwen seg inebgawen inṭeq-ed yenna i Sidna Ɛisa : Amasseɛd n win ara yeččen tiremt di tgelda n yigenwan!

¹⁵And one of those that were lying at table with [them], hearing these things, said to him, Blessed [is] he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

¹⁶Sidna Ɛisa yerra-yas : Yiwen wergaz ixdem imensi, iɛreḍ-ed aṭas lɣaci.

¹⁶And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper and invited many.

¹⁷Lweqt n imensi, iceggeɛ aqeddac-is iwakken ad yini i inebgawen : aset-ed ! Kullec iwjed !

¹⁷And he sent his bondman at the hour of supper to say to those who were invited, Come, for already all things are ready.

¹⁸Akken ma llan ufan-d sebba. Amezwaru yenna-yas : « aql-i uɣeɣ iger, ilaq ad ṛuḥeɣ a t-id-ẓreɣ , di leɛnaya-k semmeḥ-iyi ».

¹⁸And all began, without exception, to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought land, and I must go out and see it; I pray thee hold me for excused.

¹⁹Wayeḍ yenna-yas : « aql-i uɣeɣ-d xemsa n tyugiwin n yezgaren bɣiɣ ad ṛuḥeɣ a tent-ɛerḍeɣ, di leɛnaya-k semmeḥ iyi ».

¹⁹And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee hold me for excused.

²⁰Wayeḍ daɣen yenna-yas : « tura kan i zewǧeɣ, ulamek ara d aseɣ ».

²⁰And another said, I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come.

²¹Mi d-yuɣal uqeddac ɣer umɛellem-is, yeḥka-yas ayen akk i s-d-nnan. Bab n wexxam yerfa, yenna i uqeddac-is : « azzel, ṛuḥ ɣer yiberdan d yizenqan n temdint, tɛeṛḍeḍ-ed iẓawaliyen, ineɛyuba, iderɣalen d iquḍaren ».

²¹And the bondman came up and brought back word of these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, in anger, said to his bondman, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor and crippled and lame and blind.

²²Mi d-yuɣal uqeddac-nni yenna-yas : a Sidi, ayen i yi-d-tenniḍ xedmeɣ-t yerna mazal llan imukan.

²²And the bondman said, Sir, it is done as thou hast commanded, and there is still room.

²³Amɛellem yenna i uqeddac is : « effeɣ ɣer iberdan n tudrin d lexlawi ; wid akk ara tafeḍ, ḥṛeṣ-iten a d asen iwakken ad iččaṛ wexxam-iw. »

²³And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the ways and fences and compel to come in, that my house may be filled;

²⁴Atan nniɣ-awen : ula d yiwen seg wid-nni yețwaɛerḍen d imezwura ur iɛerreḍ imensi-inu.

²⁴for I say to you, that not one of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.

²⁵Aṭas n lɣaci i geddan d Sidna Ɛisa. Yezzi ɣuṛ-sen yenna-yasen :

²⁵And great crowds went with him; and, turning round, he said to them,

²⁶Kra n win ara d-yasen ɣuṛ-i, ma iḥemmel baba-s d yemma-s neɣ tameṭṭut-is d warraw-is neɣ ayetma-s d yessetma-s neɣ iḥemmel iman-is akteṛ-iw, ur izmir ara ad yili d anelmad-iw.

²⁶If any man come to me, and shall not hate his own father and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and his own life too, he cannot be my disciple;

²⁷Kra n win ur neqbil ara ad yeɛteb ɣef ddemma n yisem-iw yerna ur iyi-d-itbiɛ ara, ur izmir ara ad yili d anelmad-iw.

²⁷and whoever does not carry his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

²⁸Anwa deg-wen ma yebɣa ad ibnu lbeṛǧ, ur yețɣimi ara ad ixdem uqbel leḥsab-is, iwakken ad iẓer ma yezmer a t-ifak ?

²⁸For which of you, desirous of building a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, if he have what [is needed] to complete it;

²⁹Axaṭer ma yebda lsas yeǧǧa-t akken, kra n wid ara t-iẓren ad stehzin fell-as ad inin :

²⁹in order that, having laid the foundation of it, and not being able to finish it, all who see it do not begin to mock at him,

³⁰argaz-agi yebda lsas ur izmir ad ikemmel lebni.

³⁰saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish?

³¹Neɣ anwa agellid ara yekkren ad innaɣ d ugellid nniḍen, ur ixeddem ara uqbel leḥsab iwakken ad iẓer ma yezmer ad iqabel s ɛecṛa alaf iɛsekṛiwen win i d-iteddun ɣuṛ-es s ɛecrin alef iɛsekriwen ?

³¹Or what king, going on his way to engage in war with another king, does not, sitting down first, take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him coming against him with twenty thousand?

³²Ma iwala ur s-izmir ara, ad iceggeɛ ɣuṛ-es uqbel a d-yaweḍ, iwakken ad ifru yid-es tamsalt s lehna.

³²and if not, while he is yet far off, having sent an embassy, he asks for terms of peace.

³³S wakka, yiwen ur yezmir ad yili d anelmad-iw m'ur yeqbil ara ad yeǧǧ ayen akk yesɛa.

³³Thus then every one of you who forsakes not all that is his own cannot be my disciple.

³⁴Lmelḥ d ayen yelhan, lameɛna ma tṛuḥ-as lbenna-s amek ara s-ț-id-nerr ?

³⁴Salt [then] [is] good, but if the salt also has become savourless, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

³⁵Ur yelhi i wakal, ur yelhi i leɣbaṛ, ilaq kan a t-nḍeggeṛ ɣer beṛṛa. Win yesɛan imeẓẓuɣen isellen, isel-ed !..

³⁵It is proper neither for land nor for dung; it is cast out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
