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.”
1 Han fo, kaŋ Yesu go nangu fo ga te adduwa, kaŋ a te ka ban, kal a talibey ra afo ne a se: «Rabbi, m'iri dondonandi adduwa, mate kaŋ cine Yohanna na nga talibey dondonandi nd'a.»
1And it came to pass, as he was praying in a certain place, that when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples.
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.
2 Yesu ne i se: «Waati kaŋ araŋ ga adduwa, araŋ ma ne: ‹Ya Baaba, ni maa ma ciya ihanna. Ni koytara ma kaa.
2And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Father, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
3 M'iri ŋwaaro no iri se hunkuna nda suba.
3Give us day by day our daily bread.
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.’”
4 M'iri zunubey yaafa iri se, zama iri mo, iri goono g'iri garawkooney kulu yaafa. Ma si konda iri siyaŋ do.› »
4And forgive us our sins; for we ourselves also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation.
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,
5 Koyne a ne i se: «May no araŋ ra, d'a gonda coro, day a ma koy a do cin bindi ra ka ne a se: ‹Ay cora, m'ay garaw buuru kunkuni hinza,
5And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’
6 zama ay coro fo go diraw ra, a kaa ka zumbu ay gaa. Ay mo sinda haŋ kaŋ ay ga jisi a jine.›
6for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him;
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’?
7 Nga mo kaŋ go fuwo ra, a ma tu ka ne: ‹Ma s'ay taabandi. I na fu meyo daabu sohõ. Ay izey go ay do daaro boŋ mo. Ay si hin ka tun ka no ni se.›
7and he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee?
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.
8 Ay ga ne araŋ se: baa a mana tun k'a no zama nga ya a coro no se, kulu nda yaadin a kankamandiyaŋo sabbay se a ga tun k'a no hay kulu kaŋ a ga laami nd'a.
8I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will arise and give him as many as he needeth.
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.
9 Ay mo ga ci araŋ se: wa ŋwaaray, i g'araŋ no. Wa ceeci, araŋ ga du. Wa kobi, i ga fiti araŋ se.
9And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
10 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
10 Zama boro kulu kaŋ ga ŋwaaray, i g'a no, boro kaŋ ga ceeci ga du, boro kaŋ ga kobi mo, i ga fiti a se.
10For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall 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?
11 Wala may no araŋ ra kaŋ ga ti baaba, kaŋ d'a izo n'a ŋwaaray buuru, a g'a no tondi? Wala d'a n'a ŋwaaray hamisa, a g'a no gondi?
11And of which of you that is a father shall his son ask a loaf, and he give him a stone? or a fish, and he for a fish give him a serpent?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
12 Wala d'a n'a ŋwaaray gunguri, a g'a no daŋ?
12Or [if] he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
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?”
13 Woodin sabbay se mo, d'araŋ wo, kaŋ ga ti boro laaloyaŋ ga waani mate kaŋ araŋ ga nooyaŋ hanney no araŋ izey se, sanku fa araŋ Baabo kaŋ go beena ra ga Biya Hanna no borey kaŋ yaŋ ga ŋwaaray a gaa se.»
13If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that 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.
14 Yesu goono ga follay fo gaaray kaŋ na bora te beebe. A go no mo, waato kaŋ folla fun, kala beeba salaŋ. Borey marga dambara.
14And he was casting out a demon [that was] dumb. And it came to pass, when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spake; and the multitudes marvelled.
15But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
15 Amma i boro fooyaŋ ne: «Baalzabula* kaŋ ga ti follayey koyo, a dabaro no a goono ga follayyaŋ gaaray d'a.»
15But some of them said, By Beelzebub the prince of the demons casteth he out demons.
16Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
16 Boro fooyaŋ mo goono g'a si, ka alaama fo ceeci a gaa kaŋ ga kaa ka fun beene.
16And others, trying [him], sought of him a sign from heaven.
17But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
17 Amma kaŋ Yesu g'i miiley bay, a ne i se: «Koytaray kulu kaŋ fay ihinka ka gaaba nda care ga say. Fu mo kaŋ gaaba nda care ga kaŋ.
17But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house [divided] against a house falleth.
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
18 Yaadin gaa, da Saytan* tun ka gaaba nda nga boŋ, mate no a koytara ga te ka kay? Zama araŋ goono ga ne Baalzabula dabari no ay goono ga follayey gaaray d'a.
18And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub.
19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore will they be your judges.
19 D'ay goono ga follayey gaaray da Baalzabula dabaro, araŋ izey binde, may dabari no i goono ga follayey gaaray d'a? Woodin sabbay se, ngey wo ga bara araŋ se ciitikoyaŋ.
19And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
20 But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come to you.
20 Amma d'ay ga follayyaŋ gaaray da Irikoy kamba dabaro, yaadin gaa Irikoy koytara kaa araŋ do nooya.
20But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then is the kingdom of God come upon you.
21 “When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
21 Waati kaŋ gaabikooni kaŋ gonda wongu jinay goono ga nga windo batu, a arzaka ga goro baani.
21When the strong [man] fully armed guardeth his own court, his goods are in peace:
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.
22 Amma waati kaŋ afo kaŋ bis'a gaabi kaa, a g'a zeeri, kal a m'a wongu jinayey kaŋ gaa a ga naanay din sambu, k'i zaban boro fooyaŋ se.
22but when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him his whole armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
23 “He that is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
23 Boro kaŋ si ay banda, a ga gaaba nd'ay nooya. Boro kaŋ si margu ay banda mo ga say-say.
23He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
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.’
24 Waati kaŋ follay fun boro banda, a ga dira ka gana naŋ kaŋ hari si, ka ceeci naŋ kaŋ ga fulanzam. Kaŋ a mana du, a ga ne: ‹Ay ga ye ay fu zeena ra, naŋ kaŋ ay fun.›
24The unclean spirit when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and finding none, he saith, I will turn back unto my house whence I came out.
25 When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
25 A ga kaa ka gar i n'a haabu k'a taalam.
25And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished.
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.”
26 Gaa no a ga koy ka kande follay iyye fooyaŋ kaŋ yaŋ ga futu ka bisa nga bumbo, i ma furo ka goro noodin. Bora din kokor banda gora ga laala ka jaase ijina.»
26Then goeth he, and taketh [to him] seven other spirits more evil than himself; and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh 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!”
27 A go no mo, waato kaŋ Yesu goono ga hayey din salaŋ, kala wayboro fo kaŋ go jama game ra na nga jinde sambu ka ne a se: «Albarkante no gunde kaŋ na ni hay da fafa kaŋ ni naanu mo.»
27And it came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou didst suck.
28But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”
28 Amma Yesu ne: «Sanku fa borey kaŋ yaŋ ga maa Irikoy Sanno k'a gana ya albarkante yaŋ no.»
28But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
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.
29 Borey marga goono ga kankam a gaa, kal a sintin ka ne: «Zamana wo izey, boro yaamoyaŋ no. I goono ga alaama ceeci, amma i si alaama cabe i se kala day Yonana* wane.
29And when the multitudes were gathering together unto him, he began to say, This generation is an evil generation: it seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah.
30 For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will also the Son of Man be to this generation.
30 Zama mate kaŋ Yonana ciya alaama Ninawiya* borey se, yaadin cine no Boro* Izo mo ga ciya zamana wo izey se.
30For even as Jonah became a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
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.
31 Dandi kambe wayboro bonkoono ga tun suba-aliciyoma ciito ra zamana wo borey game ra k'i zeeri. Zama za ndunnya me no a fun ka kaa ka maa Suleymanu laakal sanney. Guna mo, nga kaŋ bisa Suleymanu beeray go ne.
31The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a 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.
32 Ninawiya borey ga tun suba-aliciyoma ciito ra zamana wo borey game ra k'i ciiti k'i zeeri mo, zama ngey wo tuubi waato kaŋ Yonana waazu. Guna mo, boro kaŋ bisa Yonana beeray neeya.
32The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
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.
33 Boro kulu si fitilla diyandi k'a tugu, wala a m'a daŋ cilla cire. Amma a g'a jisi taablo boŋ no, zama ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga furo ma di kaaro.
33No man, when he hath lighted a lamp, putteth it in a cellar, neither under the bushel, but on the stand, that they which enter in may see the light.
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.
34 Ni gaahamo fitilla ga ti ni mwa. Da ni mwa ga boori, ni gaahamo kulu ga to da kaari. Amma d'a gonda laru, kala ni gaahamo ma to da kubay.
34The lamp of thy body is thine eye: when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when it is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
35 Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
35 Woodin se ma haggoy kaaro kaŋ go ni do din ma si ciya kubay.
35Look therefore whether the light that is in thee be not darkness.
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.”
36 Yaadin gaa da ni gaahamo kulu ga kaari, kubay si nangu kulu mo, kal a kulu ma kwaaray danga saaya kaŋ fitilla ga kaari ni gaa da nga kaaro.»
36If therefore thy whole body be full of light, having no part dark, it shall be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining doth give thee light.
37Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table.
37 Yesu goono ga salaŋ, kala Farisi fonda boro fo n'a ce a ma kaa ka alciri kaa nga banda. A furo mo ka goro ŋwaaro do.
37Now as he spake, a Pharisee asketh him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
38When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
38 Amma Farisi fonda bora wo, kaŋ a di woodin, a dambara zama Yesu mana alwala ka sintin ŋwaari.
38And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first bathed himself before dinner.
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.
39 Amma Rabbi ne a se: «Araŋ Farisi fonda borey wo, araŋ goono ga gullayze da gaasu banda gaa nyun, amma araŋ ra haray, a ga to da zamba nda laala mo.
39And the Lord said unto him, Now ye the Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter; but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
40 You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
40 Araŋ saamey! Nga kaŋ na banda te, manti nga no ka a ra hara mo te?
40Ye foolish ones, did not he that made the outside make the inside also?
41 But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
41 Amma hayey kaŋ go a ra haray, araŋ m'i no sargay. Yaadin gaa hay kulu ga hanan araŋ se.
41But give for alms those things which are within; and behold, all things are clean unto you.
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.
42 Amma kaari araŋ wo, Farisi fonda borey! Zama araŋ ga kori gabu zakka kaa, da maafay wane, da kali tuuri kulu wane mo, amma ciiti kaŋ ga kay da Irikoy baakasinay, araŋ g'i muray. Woone yaŋ no ga hima araŋ m'i te, ya-haray waney mo ma si gaze.
42But woe unto you Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over justice and the love of God: but these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.
43 Kaari araŋ, Farisi fonda borey! Zama araŋ ga ba boro beerey nangorayey diina marga fuwey ra, da mo araŋ ga ba borey m'araŋ fo habey ra.
43Woe unto you Pharisees! for ye love the chief seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the marketplaces.
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.”
44 Kaari araŋ! zama araŋ ga hima saaray tugante yaŋ, kaŋ borey si bay i gaa, kal i m'i taamu.»
44Woe unto you! for ye are as the tombs which appear not, and the men that walk over [them] know it not.
45One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”
45 Boro fo kaŋ asariya bayko no tu a se ka ne: «Alfa, kaŋ ni na woodin ci, ni goono g'iri mo foy no.»
45And one of the lawyers answering saith unto him, Teacher, in saying this thou reproachest us also.
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.
46 Amma Yesu ne: «Kaari araŋ wo mo, asariya dondonandikoy! Zama araŋ goono ga borey jarandi nda jarawey kaŋ ga tin. Araŋ bumbey wo si baa kambayze folloŋ dake jarawey gaa.
46And he said, Woe unto you lawyers also! for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
47 Kaari araŋ! Zama araŋ no ga annabey saarayey cina, ngey kaŋ yaŋ araŋ kaayey wi.
47Woe unto you! for ye 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.
48 Yaadin gaa araŋ ga te seedayaŋ kaŋ araŋ yadda nd'araŋ kaayey te-goyey. Ngey no k'i wi, araŋ mo go g'i saarayey cina.
48So ye are witnesses and consent unto the works of your fathers: for they killed them, and ye 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 Woodin sabbay se mo, Irikoy laakalo ga ne: ‹Ay ga annabiyaŋ da diyayaŋ donton i do. Afooyaŋ, i g'i wi k'i gurzugandi,›
49Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send unto them prophets and apostles; and [some] of them they shall kill and persecute;
50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
50 zama annabey kuri kaŋ i dooru za ndunnya sinjiyaŋ, i m'i alhakku kulu ceeci zamana wo izey gaa,
50that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
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.
51 za Habila kuro ka koy Zakariya kuro, kaŋ i halaci sargay* feema da Nangoray Hanna game ra. Haciika, ay ga ne araŋ se: zamana wo izey gaa no i g'a ceeci.
51from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary: yea, I say unto you, it shall 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.”
52 Kaari araŋ asariya dondonandikoy! Zama araŋ na bayray saaf'izo sambu. Araŋ bumbey, araŋ mana furo, ngey mo kaŋ yaŋ ga ba ngey ma furo, araŋ n'i ganji.»
52Woe unto you lawyers! for ye took away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye 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;
53 Waato kaŋ a fun noodin, kala asariya dondonandikoy da Farisi fonda borey sintin k'a taabandi gumo. I goono g'a me hã hari boobo boŋ.
53And when he was come out from thence, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press upon [him] vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things;
54lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
54 I go ga lamba k'a batu mo, zama ngey m'a di a me sanney ra.
54laying wait for him, to catch something out of his mouth.
