1After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
1 Bi Yeesu waxee la mu naroon a wax lépp ca kanamu mbooloo ma, mu daldi dem Kapernawum.
2A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
2 Amoon na fa njiitu xare. Njiit la nag, surgaam bu mu bëggoon lool dafa feebaroon, bay bëgg a dee.
3When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
3 Bi mu déggee mbiri Yeesu, mu yónni ca moom ay Yawut, di magi dëkk ba, ngir ñaan ko, mu ñëw faj surga ba.
4When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
4 Bi magi dëkk ba agsee ca Yeesu, ñu sàkku ci moom ndimbal, ñaan ko: «Ki nu yónni ci yaw de, yelloo na ndimbal,
5for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
5 ndaxte sopp na sunu xeet te moo nu tabaxal sax sunu jàngu.»
6Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
6 Noonu Yeesu daldi ànd ak ñoom. Waaye bi ñuy bëgg a agsi ca kër ga, njiit la yebal ay xaritam ngir ñu wax Yeesu ne: «Sang bi, bul sonal sa bopp, ndaxte yeyoowuma nga dugg sama kër.
7Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
7 Looloo tax it ma xalaat ne, awma darajay gatandu la. Waxal genn kàddu rekk, te sama surga dina wér.
8For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
8 Ndaxte man itam maa ngi nekk ci ndigal, te ame naa ay xarekat ci sama ndigal. Su ma nee kii: “Demal,” mu dem. Mbaa ma ne keneen ki: “Ñëwal,” mu ñëw. Te su ma nee sama jaam: “Defal lii,” mu def ko.»
9When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”
9 Bi ko Yeesu déggee, mu waaru. Noonu mu walbatiku ca mbooloo, ma topp ci moom, ne leen: «Maa ngi leen koy wax, ci bànni Israyil sax, musuma cee gis ku gëme nii.»
10Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
10 Noonu ndaw ya daldi dellu ca kër ga. Bi ñu agsee, ñu gis ne surga ba wér na.
11It happened soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
11 Yàggul dara Yeesu dem ci dëkk bu ñuy wax Nayin. Taalibeem yi ak mbooloo mu bare ànd ak moom.
12Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.
12 Bi muy agsi ca buntu dëkk ba, fekk ñuy rob néew boo xam ne kenn rekk la woon ci ndeyam, ji jëkkëram faatu woon. Te mbooloo mu bare ca dëkk ba di gunge soxna sa.
13When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, “Don’t cry.”
13 Bi ko Boroom ba gisee, mu daldi koy yërëm ne ko: «Bul jooyati.»
14He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
14 Mu jegeñsi, laal jaat ga, ñi ko jàppoo taxaw. Mu ne: «Waxambaane wi, jógal, ndigal la.»
15He who was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
15 Noonu nit ka dee woon jóg toog, tàmbalee wax. Yeesu delloo ko yaay ja.
16Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
16 Ñépp tiit, bay màggal Yàlla, di wax naan: «Yonent bu mag feeñ na ci sunu biir! Yàlla wallusi na mbooloom!»
17This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea, and in all the surrounding region.
17 La ñu wax ci mbiri Yeesu daldi siiw ca réewu Yawut ya ak la ko wër yépp.
18The disciples of John told him about all these things.
18 Taalibey Yaxya ya nettali mbir yooyu yépp seen kilifa. Noonu Yaxya woo ñaar ci ay taalibeem,
19John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”
19 yónni leen ci Boroom bi, ngir laaj ko: «Ndax yaw yaa di Ki war a ñëw, walla danoo war a xaar keneen?»
20When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”
20 Bi taalibe ya agsee ca Yeesu, ñu ne ko: «Yaxya moo nu yebal, nu laaj ndax yaa di Ki waroon a ñëw, walla danuy xaar keneen?»
21In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
21 Ca waxtu woowa Yeesu wéral nit ñu bare ci seeni feebar ak ci seeni metit, di dàq ay rab tey gisloo ay gumba.
22Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
22 Noonu mu tontu ndaw ya ne leen: «Demleen nettali Yaxya li ngeen gis te dégg ko. Gumba yaa ngi gis, lafañ yiy dox, gaana yi wér, tëx yiy dégg, ñi dee di dekki, te ñi woyoflu ñu ngi dégg xebaar bu baax bi.
23 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
23 Yaw mi sa ngëm yolomul ndax man, barkeel nga.»
24When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
24 Bi ndawi Yaxya yi demee, Yeesu daldi wax ak mbooloo ma ci mbirum Yaxya ne leen: «Lu ngeen seeti woon ca màndiŋ ma? Xanaa barax buy jaayu ci ngelaw li?
25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.
25 Kon lu ngeen seeti woon nag? Nit ku sol yére yu rafet? Waaye ñiy soloo noonu, tey dund dund gu neex ñu ngi dëkk ci këri buur.
26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
26 Kon lu ngeen seeti woon? Yonent? Waaw, wax naa leen ne, ëpp na yonent.
27 This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’ Malachi 3:1
27 Yaxya male moo di ki ñu waxoon ci Mbind mi naan:“Maa ngi yónni sama ndaw, mu jiitu la,te xàllal la yoon ci sa kanam.”
28 “For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer, yet he who is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”
28 Maa ngi leen koy wax, ci li jigéen jur, ku sut Yaxya musul a feeñ. Waaye ba tey ki gën a ndaw ci nguuru Yàlla moo ko sut.»
29When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
29 Nit ñépp ñi doon déglu Yeesu, ba ci juutikat yi sax, dëggal nañu ne Yàlla ku jub la, ndaxte nangu nañu Yaxya sóob leen ci ndox.
30But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
30 Waaye Farisen ya ak xutbakat ya dañoo bañ, mu sóob leen ci ndox, di wone noonu ne, gàntu nañu li leen Yàlla bëggaloon.
31 TR adds “But the Lord said,” “To what then will I liken the people of this generation? What are they like?
31 Yeesu tegaat ca ne: «Kon lan laa man a mengaleel niti jamono jii? Lan lañuy nirool?
32 They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call one to another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’
32 Ñu ngi nirook xale yu toog ca pénc ma tey woowante naan:“Liital nanu leen ak toxoro, te fecculeen,woyal nanu leen woyi dëj, te jooyuleen.”
33 For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
33 Ndaxte Yaxya feeñ na, lekkul mburu, naanul biiñ, ngeen daldi ne: “Dafa ànd ak rab.”
34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
34 Gannaaw gi nag Doomu nit ki ñëw na, lekk, naan, ngeen daldi ne: “Kii daal bëgg na lekk, di naan biiñ, tey xaritoo ak ay juutikat ak ay boroom bàkkaar.”
35 Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
35 Waaye li xam-xamu Yàlla di jur, mooy firndeel ne dëgg la.»
36One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat at the table.
36 Amoon na ab Farisen bu ñaan Yeesu, mu ñëw lekkandoo ak moom. Yeesu dem kër waa ja, toog ca lekkukaay.
37Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
37 Fekk amoon na ca dëkk ba jigéen juy moy Yàlla. Bi mu yégee ne, Yeesoo ngay lekk ca kër Farisen ba, mu dem, yóbbaale njaq lu ñu defare doj wu ñuy wax albaatar te def latkoloñ.
38Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
38 Bi jigéen ja agsee, mu taxaw ca gannaaw tànki Yeesu, di jooy. Noonu ay rangooñam tooyal tànki Yeesu, jigéen ja di leen fomp ak kawaram, di leen fóon te ciy sotti latkoloñ ja.
39Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”
39 Naka la Farisen, bi woo woon Yeesu ci këram, gis loolu, mu wax ci xelam naan: «Bu nit kii doonoon yonent, kon dina xam kuy jigéen ji koy laal ak ni mu nekke bàkkaarkat.»
40Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”
40 Yeesu ne ca tonn, daldi ne Farisen ba: «Simoŋ, am na lu ma la war a wax.» Simoŋ ne ko: «Waxal, kilifa gi.»
41 “A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
41 Yeesu ne ko: «Da fee amoon ñaari nit ñu ameel bor benn leblekat. Kenn kaa ngi ko ameel téeméeri junni ci xaalis, ki ci des fukki junni.
42 When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
42 Waaye kenn ci ñoom mënu koo fey. Noonu mu baal leen bor ya. Ci ñaar ñooñu nag kan moo ko ciy gën a bëgg?»
43Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
43 Simoŋ tontu ne ko: «Xanaa ki ñu baal bor bi gën a bare.» Yeesu ne ko: «Àtte nga dëgg,»
44Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.
44 daldi walbatiku ca jigéen ja, ne Simoŋ: «Ndax gis nga jigéen jii? Dugg naa sa kër, te joxewuloo ndox, ngir raxas samay tànk. Waaye moom, raxas na samay tànk ak ay rangooñam, ba noppi fomp leen ak kawaram.
45 You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
45 Bi ma agsee, fóonuloo ma, waaye moom, bi ma duggee ba léegi tàyyiwul ci di fóon samay tànk.
46 You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
46 Defuloo diw ci sama bopp, waaye moom, sotti na latkoloñ ci samay tànk.
47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”
47 Moo tax ma di la wax ne, su wonee mbëggeel gu réye nii, dafa fekk ñu baal ko bàkkaaram yu bare. Waaye ki mbëggeelam néew dafa fekk ñu baal ko lu tuuti.»
48He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
48 Yeesu daldi ne jigéen ja: «Baal nañu la say bàkkaar.»
49Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
49 Noonu ñi doon lekkandoo ak moom di wax ci seen xel naan: «Kii am sañ-sañu baale bàkkaar mooy kan?»
50He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
50 Waaye Yeesu ne jigéen ja: «Sa ngëm musal na la. Demal ci jàmm.»
