1It happened, that when he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”
1Yiwen wass, Sidna Ɛisa yețẓalla deg yiwen wemkan. Mi gfukk, yiwen seg yinelmaden-is yenna-yas : A Sidi, selmed-aɣ amek ara neẓẓal akken yesselmed Yeḥya i yinelmaden-is.
2He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
2Yenna-yasen : M'ara tẓallem, init : A Baba Ṛebbi, isem-ik ad ițwaqeddes, lḥekma n tgeldit-ik a d-tas.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
3Yal ass efk-aɣ-d aɣṛum-nneɣ.
4 Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
4Semmeḥ-aɣ ddnubat-nneɣ akken i nețsamaḥ ula d nukkni i wid i ɣ-ixedmen cceṛ, ur aɣ-țaǧǧa ara a neɣli deg wujeṛṛeb.
5He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight, and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
5Yenna-yasen daɣen : Ma yella yiwen deg-wen yesɛa aḥbib, iṛuḥ ɣuṛ-es di țnaṣfa n yiḍ a s-yini : « Ay aḥbib ṛḍel-iyi-d tlata teḥbulin n weɣṛum ,
6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’
6atan yusa-yi-d yiwen weḥbib i geṭṭef webrid, ur sɛiɣ d acu ara s-d-sserseɣ. »
7 and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’?
7Ma yerra-yas-d si zdaxel n wexxam : « Ur iyi-țɛețțib ara, tawwurt tsekkeṛ, nekk d warraw-iw aql-aɣ neṭṭes, ur zmireɣ ara a d-kkreɣ iwakken a k-d-fkeɣ aɣṛum. »
8 I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
8A wen-d-iniɣ : ma yeɛdez ur yebɣi ara a d-yekker ɣuṛ-es ɣas akken d aḥbib-is, a d-ikker a s-d-yefk ayen akk i s-issuter axaṭer yusa-d ɣuṛ es di țnaṣfa n yiḍ yeṛṛez-as aqeṛṛuy-is.
9 “I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.
9Ma d nekk nniɣ-awen : ssutret a wen-d-ițunefk, qellbet aț-țafem, sqerbebbet di tewwurt a wen-d-ldin.
10 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.

11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
11Anwa deg-wen ara yefken i mmi-s adɣaɣ ma yessuter-as aɣṛum ? Neɣ a s-yefk azrem ma yessuter-as aslem ?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
12Neɣ ma yessuter-as tamellalt a s-yefk tiɣirdemt ?
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”

14He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. It happened, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
14Yiwen wass ikker Sidna Ɛisa yessuffeɣ lǧen yesgugmen yiwen wergaz. Mi t-iffeɣ lǧen, argaz-nni yebda iheddeṛ ; lɣaci meṛṛa wehmen.
15But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
15Lameɛna kra deg-sen nnan : « D Balzabul iḥekmen ɣef leǧnun i s-yefkan tazmert akken a ten issuffeɣ. »
16Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
16Kra nniḍen bɣan a t-jeṛṛben, ssutren-as yiwen n lbeṛhan ara d-yasen seg yigenni.
17But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
17Sidna Ɛisa yessnen ixemmimen-nsen yenna yasen : Yal tagelda i deg ara țnaɣen imezdaɣ-is wway gar-asen tețțeddu ɣer nnger, ixxamen-is ad ɣlin.
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
18Ma yella Cciṭan yețnaɣ d yiman-is amek ara tdum tgelda-s ? Teqqaṛem s Balzabul i ssufuɣeɣ leǧnun !
19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore will they be your judges.
19Ma yella nekk s Balzabul i ten-ssufuɣeɣ, anwa ihi i sen-ițțaken tazmert i yinelmaden-nwen iwakken a ten-ssuffuɣen ? Daymi d nutni ara kkun-iḥasben.
20 But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come to you.
20Lameɛna ma yella s ufus n Ṛebbi i ten-ssuffuɣeɣ, ațan ihi tageldit n Ṛebbi tewweḍ-ed ɣuṛ-wen.
21 “When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
21Argaz iǧehden yesɛan leslaḥ, ițɛassan ɣef wexxam-is, ṛṛezq-is ad yili di laman.
22 But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils.

23 “He that is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
23Win ur nelli ara yid-i, d axṣim-iw ; win ur njemmeɛ ara yid-i, yețḍeggiɛ.
24 The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’
24M'ara yeffeɣ uṛuḥani seg yiwen wergaz, ad iṛuḥ ɣer yimukan yexlan akken ad iqelleb ɣef ṛṛaḥa. M'ur yufi ara, ad yini : « ad uɣaleɣ ɣer tnezduɣt-iw ansi i d-ffɣeɣ. »
25 When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
25M'ara yaweḍ ɣer tnezduɣt-nni, a ț-yaf zeddiget, tqeɛɛed ;
26 Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”

27It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”
27Mi d-yenna Sidna Ɛisa ayagi, yiwet n tmeṭṭut tenṭeq-ed s ṣṣut ɛlayen si ger n lɣaci tenna-yas : ?-țaseɛdit tmeṭṭut i k-id-yurwen, i k-issuṭṭḍen !
28But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”
28Lameɛna nețța yerra-yas : Iseɛdiyen, d wid ismeḥsisen i wawal n Ṛebbi, yerna ḥerzen-t.
29When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah, the prophet.
29Mi d-innejmaɛ ɣuṛ-es waṭas n lɣaci, Sidna Ɛisa yekker yenna-yasen : Lǧil-agi d lǧil amcum, yessutur lbeṛhan ! Ur as-d-ițunefkay ara lbeṛhan anagar win n nnbi Yunes !
30 For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will also the Son of Man be to this generation.
30Axaṭer akken yella nnbi Yunes d lbeṛhan i yimezdaɣ n temdint n Ninebi, ara yili Mmi-s n bunadem d lbeṛhan i lǧil-agi.
31 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here.

32 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.
32Ass n lḥisab a d-kkren daɣen imezdaɣ n temdint n Ninebi ɣer lǧil-agi a ten-sḍelmen, axaṭer nutni uɣalen-d ɣer webrid mi sen-ibecceṛ nnbi Yunes. Kunwi tesɛam dagi gar-awen win yugaren nnbi Yunes !
33 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.
33Yiwen ur iceɛɛel taftilt iwakken a ț-iffer neɣ akken a ț-iɣumm s lḥila, lameɛna a ț-issers ɣef lmeṣbeḥ iwakken kra n win ara d-ikecmen ad iwali tafat.
34 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
34Tiṭ ț-țaftilt n wemdan. Ma yella tiṭ-ik tṣeḥḥa aț-țiliḍ di tafat, meɛna ma tedderɣel aț-țiliḍ di ṭṭlam.
35 Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
35?ader ihi aț-țuɣal tafat yellan deg-k d ṭṭlam.
36 If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”

37Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table.
37Mi gfukk Sidna Ɛisa ameslay, iɛreḍ-it yiwen wufarizi ɣeṛ imensi.
38When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
38Afarizi-nni yewhem mi gwala Sidna Ɛisa ur issared ara uqbel ad yečč, akken tella di lɛadda-nsen.
39The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
39Sidna Ɛisa yenna-yas : Kunwi s yifariziyen tessiridem taqbuct d uḍebṣi s wufella kan ma zdaxel n wulawen teččuṛem d ṭṭmeɛ akk-d ddɣel.

40A wid iɣeflen ! Eɛni win i d ixelqen ayen yellan s wufella, mačči d nețța i d-ixelqen ayen n daxel ?
41 But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
41Fket lweɛda s wulawen-nwen, imiren kullec ad awen-yeṣfu.
42 But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
42A nnger-nwen ay ifariziyen ! Kunwi yețɛecciṛen nneɛneɛ d uwermi d wayen i d-ițemɣayen di tebḥirt, ma d lḥeqq d leḥmala n Sidi Ṛebbi tețțarram-ten ɣer deffir ; d annect-agi i gezwaren mbla ma tețțum ayen nniḍen.
43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.
43A nnger-nwen ay ifariziyen ! Tḥemmlem imukan imezwura di leǧwameɛ, tḥemmlem ad țsellimen fell-awen yemdanen deg iberdan.
44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”

45One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”
45Yenṭeq yiwen lɛalem n ccariɛa, yenna-yas : A Sidi, atan tregmeḍ-aɣ ula d nukkni s wayen i d-tenniḍ akka !
46He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
46Sidna Ɛisa yerra-yas : A nnger-nwen ula d kunwi a lɛulama n ccariɛa ! Tețɛebbim i wiyaḍ tiɛekkmin ẓẓayen, ma d kunwi ur tent-tețnalem ara ula s yiwen uḍaḍ.
47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

48 So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.

49 Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
49?ef wayagi Sidi Ṛebbi yeẓran kullec yenna : a sen-ceggɛeɣ lenbiya d ṛṛusul, kra a ten-nɣen kra a ten qehṛen.
50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
50Daymi lǧil-agi ad ițțuḥaseb ɣef tazzla n yidammen n lenbiya seg wasmi i d-texleq ddunit ;
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.

52 Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”

53As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him;
53Mi geffeɣ Sidna Ɛisa, lɛulama n ccariɛa d ifariziyen ḥeṛsen-t iwakken a d-immeslay ɣef waṭas n tɣawsiwin nniḍen,
54lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
