¹Now it happened on the second Sabbath after the first, that he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain, and ate, rubbing them in their hands.

¹ A go no mo, asibti* zaari fo hane, Yesu goono ga gana farey ra. A talibey go mo ga jeeney ceeri ka musay ngey kambey ra ka kaama.

²But some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?”

² Kala Farisi fonda boro fooyaŋ ne: «Ifo se no araŋ goono ga te haŋ kaŋ mana halal* i ma te asibti zaari ra?»

³Jesus, answering them, said, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;

³ Yesu mo tu i se ka ne: «Wala araŋ mana caw ka di haŋ kaŋ Dawda te no, waato kaŋ nga nda nga jama maa haray?

⁴ how he entered into God’s house, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?”

⁴ A furo Irikoy fuwo ra ka buuru* jisanta sambu ka ŋwa, k'a no mo nga borey se. Buuro din mo, a mana halal boro kulu se a m'a ŋwa, kala day alfagey hinne.»

⁵He said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”

⁵ A ne i se mo: «Boro Izo ya asibti zaari Koyo no.»

⁶It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.

⁶ Asibti zaari fo koyne, a furo Yahudance diina marga fuwo ra ka borey dondonandi. Boro fo go noodin kaŋ a kambe ŋwaaro suugu.

⁷The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.

⁷ Asariya dondonandikoy da Farisi fonda borey mo goono ga Yesu mo-kuru-kuru ka di hal a ga baani nooyaŋ te asibti zaaro ra, zama i ma du k'a kalima se.

⁸But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Rise up, and stand in the middle.” He arose and stood.

⁸ Amma a g'i miiley bay. A ne albora kaŋ gonda kambe kaŋ suugu din se: «Tun ka kay bindo ra.» Kal a tun ka kay.

⁹Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?”

⁹ Yesu binde ne i se: «Ay g'araŋ hã hal a ga halal boro ma goy hanno te asibti zaaro ra, wala a ma goy laalo te? I ma fundi faaba wala i m'a halaci?»

¹⁰He looked around at them all, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.

¹⁰ A n'i kulu guna, gaa no a ne bora din se: «Ma ni kamba salle.» Nga mo te yaadin, a kamba mo du baani.

¹¹But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.

¹¹ Amma ngey wo te bine hal i ga ba ka follo. I saaware ngey game ra haŋ kaŋ ngey ga te Yesu se.

¹²It happened in these days, that he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.

¹² A go no mo, jirbey din ra, kaŋ Yesu fatta ka koy tondi kuuko boŋ zama nga ma te adduwa, a hanna ka te adduwa Irikoy gaa.

¹³When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:

¹³ Waato kaŋ mo bo, a na nga talibey ce nga do ka iway cindi hinka suuban i game ra, kaŋ yaŋ mo a ne i se diyayaŋ*.

¹⁴Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;

¹⁴ Ngey neeya: Siman, kaŋ a na maa-dake daŋ a gaa Bitros, d'a nya ize Andarawos, da Yakuba, da Yohanna, da Filibos, da Bartalami,

¹⁵Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Simon, who was called the Zealot;

¹⁵ da Matta, da Toma, da Yakuba Halfa ize, da Siman kaŋ se i ga ne Anniyakoy, da Yahuta Yakuba ize,

¹⁶Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.

¹⁶ da Yahuta, Kariyoti bora, kaŋ bare ka ciya amaana ŋwaako.

¹⁷He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;

¹⁷ Yesu zumbu, nga nd'ey, ka kay batama fo ra, da nga talibey marga bambata mo. Boro boobo margu mo kaŋ yaŋ kaa ka fun Yahudiya ra, da Urusalima ra, da Tir* da Zidon* kwaarey ra, kaŋ yaŋ go teeko me gaa.

¹⁸as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits, and they were being healed.

¹⁸ I kaa zama ngey ma hangan ka maa, zama a m'i no baani mo ngey jantey gaa. Borey kaŋ follayyaŋ goono g'i gurzugandi mo, a n'i no baani.

¹⁹All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.

¹⁹ Hala marga kulu ceeci ngey ma lamb'a gaa, zama dabari goono ga fun a do k'i kulu no baani.

²⁰He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God.

²⁰ Yesu mo, waato kaŋ a na nga talibey guna, a ne: «Albarkantey no araŋ wo talkey, Zama Irikoy koytara ya araŋ wane no.

²¹ Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

²¹ Albarkantey no araŋ wo sohõ harayzey, Zama i g'araŋ kungandi. Albarkantey no araŋ wo sohõ hẽenikoyey, Zama araŋ ga aniya ka haaru.

²² Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.

²² Albarkantey no araŋ waati kaŋ borey ga konna araŋ, waati kaŋ i g'araŋ fay waani, K'araŋ wow, k'araŋ maa furu danga boro laaloyaŋ no, Ay wo, Boro Izo sabbay se.

²³ Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.

²³ Wa farhã han din hane ka sar bine kaani sabbay se, zama wa guna, araŋ alhakku beero go no beena ra. Zama yaadin cine no i kaayey te annabey se.

²⁴ “But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your consolation.

²⁴ Amma kaari araŋ wo, sohõ arzakantey! Zama araŋ gonda araŋ wane kunfa sohõ.

²⁵ Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

²⁵ Kaari araŋ wo kaŋ yaŋ ga kungu sohõ! Zama araŋ ga aniya ka maa haray. Kaari araŋ wo kaŋ yaŋ ga haaru sohõ! Zama araŋ ga aniya ka hẽ ka baray.

²⁶ Woe, TR adds “to you” when TR adds “all” men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.

²⁶ Kaari araŋ waati kaŋ boro kulu ga saabu araŋ se! Zama yaadin cine no i kaayey te tangari annabey se.

²⁷ “But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

²⁷ Amma araŋ wo kaŋ yaŋ go ga maa, ay ga ne araŋ se: araŋ ma ba araŋ ibarey. Araŋ ma te ihanno ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga konna araŋ se.

²⁸ bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.

²⁸ Araŋ ma albarka gaara ngey kaŋ yaŋ g'araŋ laali se. Wa te adduwa mo ngey kaŋ yaŋ g'araŋ wow se.

²⁹ To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your coat also.

²⁹ Bora kaŋ na ni saŋ garbe fo gaa, m'afa mo bare a se. Bora kaŋ ga ni taafe sambu, ma si wang'a se ni kwaayo mo.

³⁰ Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.

³⁰ Ma no boro kulu kaŋ ga ni ŋwaaray se. Bora kaŋ ga ni jinayey kom, ma s'a hã a m'a yeti.

³¹ “As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them.

³¹ Mate kaŋ araŋ ga ba borey ma te araŋ se, araŋ mo ma te i se yaadin.

³² If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

³² D'araŋ ga ba araŋ baakoy, saabuyaŋ woofo no araŋ se? Baa zunubikooney ga ba ngey baakoy.

³³ If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

³³ D'araŋ na ihanno te ngey se kaŋ yaŋ ga te araŋ se ihanno, saabuyaŋ woofo no araŋ se? Baa zunubikooney ga te yaadin.

³⁴ If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.

³⁴ Da mo araŋ ga garaw no ngey se kaŋ yaŋ araŋ gonda beeje i gaa araŋ ga du a, saabuyaŋ woofo no araŋ se? Baa zunubikooney ga garaw no zunubikooniyaŋ se hal i ma ye ka du mate kaŋ i no din.

³⁵ But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.

³⁵ Amma araŋ ma ba araŋ ibarey. Wa ihanno te. Wa garaw no amma wa si bine daŋ. Yaadin gaa no araŋ alhakko ga baa. Araŋ ga ciya Koyo kaŋ ga bisa ikulu se izeyaŋ, zama nga wo gomnikoy no gutulantey se da boro laaley mo se.

³⁶ Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.

³⁶ Araŋ ma ciya bakarawkoyyaŋ, mate kaŋ araŋ Baabo ya Bakarawkoy no.

³⁷ Don’t judge, and you won’t be judged. Don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.

³⁷ Araŋ ma si ciiti, zama i ma si ciiti araŋ se. Wa si boro zeeri, zama i ma s'araŋ zeeri. Wa naŋ, i g'araŋ naŋ mo.

³⁸ “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. literally, into your bosom. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you.”

³⁸ Araŋ ma no, i g'araŋ no mo. Neesiji hanno, kaŋ i kankam, kaŋ i zinji, kaŋ to hal a ga mun, yaadin no i g'a no araŋ ganda ra. Zama neesijo kaŋ araŋ ga neesi nd'a din, nga no i ga neesi nd'a araŋ se.»

³⁹He spoke a parable to them. “Can the blind guide the blind? Won’t they both fall into a pit?

³⁹ Kal a na yaasay fo ci i se mo ka ne: «Danaw ga hin ka goobu candi danaw fo se? Manti ihinka kulu ga kaŋ goota ra no?

⁴⁰ A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.

⁴⁰ Talibi si bisa nga alfaga, amma afo kulu, waati kaŋ a to, a ga ciya danga nga alfaga cine.

⁴¹ Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?

⁴¹ Ifo se no ni ga sub'izo kaŋ go ni nya-izo mwa ra guna, amma ni baa si nda bundo kaŋ go ni bumbo din mwa ra?

⁴² Or how can you tell your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,’ when you yourself don’t see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye.

⁴² Wala mate ni ga te ka ne ni nya-izo se: ‹Ay nya-izo, naŋ ya sub'izo kaŋ go ni mwa ra din kaa,› amma ni siino ga di bundo kaŋ go ni bumbo mwa ra? Nin, munafico! Ma bundo kaa ni bumbo mwa ra jina, gaa no ni ga di gumo ka sub'izo kaŋ go ni nya-izo mwa ra din kaa.

⁴³ For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that brings forth good fruit.

⁴³ Tuuri-nya hanno si no kaŋ ga ize laalo hay, tuuri-nya laalo mo si no kaŋ ga ize hanno hay.

⁴⁴ For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people don’t gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.

⁴⁴ Zama tuuri-nya kulu, i g'a bay nga izey do. I si jeejay ize kosu karji nya gaa, wala mo i si reyzin* ize kosu ngarfu nya gaa.

⁴⁵ The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.

⁴⁵ Boro hanno, nga bina jisiri hanna ra no a ga ihanno kaa taray. Boro laalo mo, nga bina jisiri laala ra no a ga ilaalo kaa taray. Zama haŋ kaŋ na bine to no me ga ci.

⁴⁶ “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?

⁴⁶ Ifo se binde araŋ ga ne ay se: ‹Rabbi, Rabbi,› kaŋ araŋ si te hari kaŋ ay ga ci?

⁴⁷ Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like.

⁴⁷ Boro kulu kaŋ ga kaa ay do ka maa ay sanney, k'i te mo, ay g'araŋ cabe haŋ kaŋ a ga hima nd'a.

⁴⁸ He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock.

⁴⁸ A ga hima boro fo kaŋ na fu cina, kaŋ fansi ka koy hala ganda ka sinji tondi gaa. Waato kaŋ hari kaŋ, hari zuray mo kar fuwo din gaa, a mana du k'a zinji, zama i n'a cina ka boori.

⁴⁹ But he who hears, and doesn’t do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”

⁴⁹ Amma boro kaŋ maa, a man'a te, a ga hima boro fo kaŋ na fu cina hari zuru fondo taasi boŋ, a mana daba sinjiyaŋ kulu te. Hari zuray kar a gaa, hala sahãadin d'a a kaŋ. Fuwo din kaŋyaŋ mo ga laala.»
