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 Am bés Yeesu di ñaan ci benn bérab. Bi mu noppee, kenn ci taalibeem yi ne ko: «Boroom bi, jàngal nu, nan lanu war a ñaane, ni ko Yaxya jàngale ay taalibeem.»
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 Yeesu ne leen: «Bu ngeen dee ñaan, nangeen ne:“Baay bi, na sa tur sell,na sa nguur ñëw.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
3 May nu bés bu nekk li nu war a dunde.
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 Baal nu sunuy bàkkaar,ndaxte nun itam danuy baal ñépp ñi nu tooñ.Te bu nu teg ci yoonu nattu.”»
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 Yeesu teg ca ne leen: «Mi ngi mel ni, nga dem seeti sa xarit ci xaaju guddi ne ko: “Xarit, lebal ma ñetti mburu.
6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’
6 Dafa am sama xarit bu ma ganesi, te awma dara lu ma ko jox.”
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 «Waaye kooku nekk ci biir néegam, dina ko tontu: “Bu ma lakkal, tëj naa bunt bi ba noppi te tëdd, man ak sama njaboot; mënumaa jóg di la jox dara.”
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 Maa ngi leen koy wax, su jógul jox ko li muy laaj ndax li ñu xaritoo it, ndax la kee ñàkk jom dina tax mu jox ko lépp li mu soxla.
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 Moo tax ma ne, ñaanleen, ñu may leen; seetleen, te dingeen gis; fëggleen, ñu ubbil leen.
10 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
10 Ndaxte képp kuy ñaan, dinga am; kuy seet, dinga gis; kuy fëgg, ñu ubbil la.
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 Bu la sa doom ñaanee jën, yaw miy baayam, ndax dinga ko bañ a jox jën, jox ko jaan?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
12 Walla mu ñaan la nen, nga jox ko jiit?
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 Ndegam yéen ñi bon yéena man a jox seeni gune lu baax, astemaak Baay bi nekk ci kaw dina jox Xel mu Sell mi ñi ko koy ñaan!»
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 Am bés Yeesu dàq rab wu luu. Naka la rab wa génn, luu ba daldi wax, ba mbooloo may yéemu.
15But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
15 Waaye am ca mbooloo ma ay nit, ñu doon wax naan: «Ci kàttanu Beelsebul, buuru rab yi, lay dàqe rab yi.»
16Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
16 Am ñeneen ñu fexe koo fiir, ba laaj ko kéemaan gu jóge ci asamaan tey firndeel yónnentam.
17But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
17 Waaye Yeesu xam seen xalaat ne leen: «Réew mu xeex boppam tas, kër gu xeex boppam gent.
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
18 Te it bu Seytaane xeexee boppam, naka la nguuram di man a yàgge? Damay wax loolu, ndaxte nee ngeen, damay dàq rab jaarale ko ci kàttanu Beelsebul.
19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore will they be your judges.
19 Te it bu fekkee ne man damay dàq ay rab ci kàttanu Beelsebul, seeni taalibe nag ci gan kàttan lañu leen di dàqe? Kon ñoo leen di àtte.
20 But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come to you.
20 Waaye bu fekkee ne ci baaraamu Yàlla laay dàqe rab, kon nguuru Yàlla agsi na ba ci yéen.
21 “When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
21 «Su nit ku bare doole gànnaayoo, di wottu këram, alalam dina raw.
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 Waaye bu ku ko ëpp doole ñëwee, daan ko, dafay nangu gànnaay ya mu yaakaaroon, ba noppi séddale alal ja.
23 “He that is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
23 Ku farul ak man, yaa ngi may xeex, ku dajalewul ak man, yaa ngi tasaare.
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 «Boo xamee ne rab, wa jàppoon nit, génn na ci moom, day wër ay bérab yu wow, di wut fu mu noppaloo, waaye du ko gis. Noonu da naan: “Naa dellu ca sama kër, ga ma jóge.”
25 When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
25 Bu ñëwee nag, mu fekk këram, ñu bale ko, defar ko ba lépp jekk.
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 Bu ko gisee nag, mu dem wooyi yeneen juróom-ñaari rab yu ko gën a soxor. Ñu dugg, sanc fa; ba tax mujug nit kooku mooy yées njàlbéenam.»
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 Bi Yeesu di wax loolu, jenn jigéen yékkati baatam ca biir mbooloo ma ne: «Céy jigéen ji la ëmb te nàmpal la moo barkeel!»
28But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”
28 Waaye Yeesu tontu ko ne: «Neel kay, ki barkeel mooy kiy déglu kàddug Yàlla te di ko topp.»
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 Naka la mbooloo may gën a takku, Yeesu ne: «Niti jamono jii dañoo bon. Ñu ngi laaj firnde, waaye duñu jot genn firnde gu dul firndeg Yunus.
30 For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will also the Son of Man be to this generation.
30 Ndaxte ni Yunus nekke woon firnde ci waa dëkku Niniw, noonu la Doomu nit kiy nekke firnde ci niti jamono jii.
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 Keroog bés pénc buur bu jigéen, ba dëkkoon ca sudd, dina jógandoo ak niti jamono jii, yey leen; ndaxte dafa jóge ca catul àddina, ngir déglu xam-xamu Suleymaan, te ku sut Suleymaan a ngi fi.
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 Te it ca bés pénc, waa dëkku Niniw dinañu jógandoo ak niti jamono jii, yey leen, ndaxte bi leen Yunus waaree, tuub nañu seeni bàkkaar, te ku sut Yunus a ngi fii.
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 «Kenn du taal làmp, ba noppi di ko duggal cig kàmb, walla di ci këpp leget. Daf koy wékk, ngir mu leeral ñiy dugg.
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 Bët mooy làmpu yaram. Bu sa bët wéree, kon sa yaram wépp leer. Waaye bu sa bët woppee, kon sa yaram wépp lëndëm.
35 Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
35 Moytul ndax leer gi nekk ci yaw du lëndëm.
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 Kon bu sa yaram wépp nekkee ci leer te amul genn wet gu laal ci lëndëm, dina leer nàññ, mel ni leeraayu làmp ne ràyy ci sa kaw.»
37Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table.
37 Bi Yeesu waxee ba noppi, benn Farisen wax ko, mu ñëw lekke këram. Yeesu dugg ca kër ga, toog ca lekkukaay ba.
38When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
38 Farisen bi nag daldi jaaxle, bi mu gisee ne Yeesu raxasuwul, laata muy lekk.
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 Noonu Boroom bi ne ko: «Waaw yéen Farisen yi, yéena ngi setal bitib kaas bi ak ndab li, waaye ci biir dangeen a fees ak càcc ak mbon!
40 You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
40 Yéena ñàkk xel! Xanaa du ki defar biti moo defar biir itam?
41 But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
41 Saraxeleen li nekk ci biir te seen lépp dina sell.
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 Yéen Farisen yi dingeen torox! Ndaxte yéena ngi sàkk asaka ci naana ak ru ak léjum bu nekk, waaye sàggane ngeen njubte ak mbëggeel ci Yàlla. Loolu ngeen war a def, waxuma nag ngeen sàggane la ca des.
43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.
43 Yéen Farisen yi, dingeen torox! Ndaxte ca jàngu ya, toogu ya féete kanam ngeen di taamu te bëgg ñépp di leen nuyoo ñaari loxo ca pénc ma.
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 Dingeen torox, ndaxte dangeen a mel ni ay bàmmeel yu raaf, ba nit ñi di ci dox te teyuñu ko.»
45One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”
45 Kenn ci xutbakat yi ne ca tonn ne: «Kilifa gi, boo waxee loolu, yaa ngi nuy xas, nun itam.»
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 Noonu Yeesu neeti leen: «Yéen itam xutbakat yi, dingeen torox! Ndaxte dangeen di sëf nit ñi say yu diis, waaye dungeen nangoo laal sëf bi sax ak seen cati baaraam.
47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
47 Dingeen torox, ndaxte yéena ngi tabax xabruy yonent, yi seeni maam reyoon.
48 So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
48 Dangeen di seede noonu ne, ànd ngeen ak li seen maam defoon, ndaxte ñoo rey yonent yi, yéen ngeen tabax xabru yi.
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 Looloo tax Yàlla mi xam lépp ne: “Dinaa leen yónnee ay yonent ak ay ndaw. Ñenn ñi dinañu leen fitnaal, rey leen.”
50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
50 Kon nag Yàlla dina mbugal niti jamono jii ndax dereti yonent yi ñu tuur, ba àddina sosoo ak léegi,
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 la dale ca Abel ba ci Sakariya, moom mi ñu rey ci diggante saraxalukaay bi ak bérab bu sell bi. Waaw, maa ngi leen koy wax, Yàlla dina mbugal niti jamono jii ndax loolu.
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 Yéen xutbakat yi, dingeen torox, ndaxte yéena yóbbu caabiy xam-xam; dugguleen ci, te ku ci bëgg a dugg, ngeen tere ko ko.»
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 Bi Yeesu génnee bérab boobu, Farisen ya ak xutbakat ya ëmbal ko mer te di ko seetlu ci fànn gu nekk,
54lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
54 di ko yeeru, bëgg a këf waxam bu awul yoon.
