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 Amoon na benn bésu noflaay Yeesu di dem, jaar ci ay tool yu ñor. Taalibeem ya di fàq ay cëgg, di leen boxom ci seeni loxo tey lekk.

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

² Am ay Farisen yu ne: «Lu tax ngeen di def lu jaaduwul ci bésu noflaay bi?»

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

³ Yeesu tontu leen ne: «Ndax jànguleen la Daawuda defoon, ba mu xiifee, moom ak ña mu àndaloon?

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 Xanaa yéguleen, ni mu dugge woon ca kër Yàlla ga, jël mburu, ya ñu jébbal Yàlla, lekk ca, jox ca ña mu àndaloon? Fekk jaaduwul kenn lekk ko, ku dul saraxalekat.»

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

⁵ Yeesu dellu ne leen: «Doomu nit ki mooy boroom bésu noflaay bi.»

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 Beneen bésu noflaay, Yeesu dugg ci jàngu bi, di fa jàngale. Amoon na fa nit ku loxol ndeyjooram làggi.

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 Xutbakat yi ak Farisen yi ñu ngi ko doon xool, ba xam dina ko faj ci bésu noflaay bi, ngir ñu am lu ñu ko tuumaale.

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 Waaye Yeesu xam seen xalaat, daldi ne ku loxoom làggi: «Jógal taxaw ci kanamu ñépp.» Nit ka daldi jóg taxaw.

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 Yeesu ne leen: «Ma laaj leen, lan moo jaadu, nu def ko bésu noflaay bi, lu baax mbaa lu bon; nu musal nit mbaa nu lor nit?»

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 Ci kaw loolu mu xool leen ñoom ñépp, ba noppi ne nit ka: «Tàllalal sa loxo.» Mu tàllal ko, loxoom daldi wér peŋŋ.

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

¹¹ Waaye nit ña mer ba fees, di rabat pexe yu jëm ca Yeesu.

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

¹² Ca bés yooya Yeesu yéeg ca tund wa ngir ñaan, mu fanaan fa, di ñaan ci Yàlla.

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

¹³ Bi bët setee, Yeesu woo taalibeem yi, tànn ci fukk ak ñaar, tudde leen ay ndawam:

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

¹⁴ Simoŋ, mi Yeesu tudde Piyeer, ak Andare, mi bokk ak Piyeer ndey ak baay; Saag ak Yowaana, Filib ak Bartelemi,

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

¹⁵ Macë ak Tomaa, Saag doomu Alfe, ak Simoŋ mi bokk ci mbooloo, ma ñu tudde Ñi farlu ci moom seen réew;

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

¹⁶ Yudaa doomu Saag, ak Yudaa Iskariyo, mi mujj a wor.

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 Yeesu ànd ak ndaw ya, wàcc tund ya, daldi taxaw ca joor ga, fa mbooloom taalibe mu takku nekkoon. Amoon na fa it ay nit ñu bare ñu jóge ca réewu Yawut ya mépp ak ca dëkku Yerusalem ak dëkk yi nekk ca wetu géej ga, maanaam Tir ak Sidon.

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

¹⁸ Dañoo ñëw ngir déglu ko, te it ngir mu faj leen. Ñi rab jàpp it faju nañu.

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

¹⁹ Ñépp a ngi ko doon wut a laal ndax doole jiy jóge ci moom, di faj ñépp.

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

²⁰ Yeesu xool ay taalibeem ne leen:«Yéen ñi sësul lu dul ci Yàlla, barkeel ngeen,ndaxte nguuru Yàlla, yéena ko yelloo.

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

²¹ Yéen ñi xiif léegi, barkeel ngeen,ndax dingeen regg.Yéen ñiy naqarlu léegi, barkeel ngeen,ndax dingeen ree.

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 Barkeel ngeen, bu leen nit ñi bañee, di leen dàq ak a saaga, di sib seen tur ngir Doomu nit ki.

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 Bu boobaa bégleen te bànneexu, ndax seen yool dina réy ci laaxira. Ndaxte noonu la maami seeni bañ daan fitnaale yonent yi.

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

²⁴ Waaye nag yéen boroom alal yi, torox ngeen,ndaxte jot ngeen ba noppi seen bànneex.

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 Yéen ñiy lekk ba suur léegi, torox ngeen,ndax ëllëg dingeen xiif.Yéen ñiy ree léegi, torox ngeen,ndax dingeen am aw naqar, ba jooy xàcc.

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 Torox ngeen bu leen ñépp dee waxal lu baax, ndaxte noonu la seeni maam daan jëfe ak ña doon mbubboo yonent.

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

²⁷ «Waaye maa ngi leen koy wax, yéen ñi may déglu, soppleen seeni bañaale tey defal lu baax ñi leen bañ.

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

²⁸ Yéeneleen lu baax ñi leen di móolu, te ñaanal ñi leen di sonal.

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 Ku la talaata cib lex, jox ko ba ca des. Kuy nangu sa mbubb mu mag, bul téye sa turki.

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

³⁰ Képp ku la ñaan, may ko, te ku nangu say yëf, bu ko ko laaj.

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

³¹ Defal-leen nit ñi li ngeen bëgg, ñu defal leen ko.

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

³² «Su ngeen soppee ñi leen sopp, ban ngërëm ngeen ciy am? Ndaxte bàkkaarkat yi sax sopp nañu ñi leen sopp.

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 Te bu ngeen defalee lu baax ñi leen koy defal, ban ngërëm ngeen ciy am? Bàkkaarkat yi it dañuy def noonu.

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 Te bu ngeen dee leble te yaakaar ci ndelloo, ban ngërëm ngeen ciy am? Bàkkaarkat yi it dañuy lebal seeni moroom, ngir ñu delloo leen ko.

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 Waaye soppleen seeni noon, di leen defal lu baax, tey leble, bañ a yaakaar ñu delloo leen ko. Noonu seen yool dina mag te dingeen wone ne, yéenay doomi Aji Kawe ji, ndaxte Yàlla day wone mbaaxam ci ñu goreedi ñi ak ñu soxor ñi.

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

³⁶ Nangeen am yërmande, ni seen Baay ame yërmande.

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 «Buleen àtte seeni moroom ak ñaaw njort, te deesu leen àtte. Buleen daan kenn, te deesu leen daan. Baal-leen ñi ci des, te dinañu leen baal.

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 Mayeleen te dinañu leen may. Dinañu leen ëmbal natt bu baax bu ñu rokkas te yengal ko, mu fees bay tuuru. Ndaxte dees na leen nattal ak natt, bi ngeen di nattale.»

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

³⁹ Noonu Yeesu wax na leen beneen léeb ne leen: «Ndax gumba man na wommat moroomam? Mbaa duñu daanu ñoom ñaar ci kàmb?

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

⁴⁰ Taalibe gënul kilifaam, waaye taalibe bu jàng ba wàcc, dina yem ak kilifaam demin.

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 «Lu tax ngay xool ñax gi ci sa bëtu mbokk, te gisuloo gànj gi ci sa bët yaw?

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 Nan nga man a waxe sa mbokk: “Sama xarit, may ma, ma dindil la ñax gi ci sa bët,” yaw mi gisul gànj gi nekk ci sa bët? Naaféq! Jëkkal a dindi gànj gi ci sa bët, te noonu dinga man a gis bu leer, ngir dindi ñax gi ci sa bëtu mbokk.

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

⁴³ «Garab gu baax du meññ doom yu bon, te garab gu bon du meññ doom yu baax.

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 Ndaxte garab, meññeefam lañu koy xàmmee. Deesul witte figg ci dédd, walla réseñ ci xaaxaam.

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 Noonu nit ku baax, lu baax lay wax, ndax loolu la denc ci xolam, te nit ku bon, lu bon lay wax, ndaxte denc na lu bon ci xolam. Ndaxte gémmiñ, la fees xolam lay wax.

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

⁴⁶ «Lu tax ngeen may wooye “Boroom bi, Boroom bi,” te dungeen def li may wax?

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

⁴⁷ Képp ku ñëw ci man, di dégg samay wax te di ko jëfe, ma won leen nu muy mel.

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 Dafa mel ni nit kuy tabax kër, mu gas fu xóot, jot doj wu réy, samp fa kër ga. Bi mbënn ma ñëwee, wal ma dafa dal ca kër ga te yenguwul, ndaxte nit ka dafa tabax kër ga tabax bu dëgër.

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 Waaye képp ku dégg samay wax te jëfewuloo ko, dinga mel ni nit ku tabax këram ci suuf, bañ koo defal fondamaa. Bi wal ma dalee ca kër googa, dafa màbb ca saa sa, lépp yàqu yaxeet.»
