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.»
1And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2 Yeesu ne leen: «Bu ngeen dee ñaan, nangeen ne:“Baay bi, na sa tur sell,na sa nguur ñëw.
2And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
3 May nu bés bu nekk li nu war a dunde.
3Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 Baal nu sunuy bàkkaar,ndaxte nun itam danuy baal ñépp ñi nu tooñ.Te bu nu teg ci yoonu nattu.”»
4And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
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.
5And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
6 Dafa am sama xarit bu ma ganesi, te awma dara lu ma ko jox.”
6For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
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.”
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 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.
8I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
9 Moo tax ma ne, ñaanleen, ñu may leen; seetleen, te dingeen gis; fëggleen, ñu ubbil leen.
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 Ndaxte képp kuy ñaan, dinga am; kuy seet, dinga gis; kuy fëgg, ñu ubbil la.
10For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
11 Bu la sa doom ñaanee jën, yaw miy baayam, ndax dinga ko bañ a jox jën, jox ko jaan?
11If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12 Walla mu ñaan la nen, nga jox ko jiit?
12Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
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!»
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?
14 Am bés Yeesu dàq rab wu luu. Naka la rab wa génn, luu ba daldi wax, ba mbooloo may yéemu.
14And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
15 Waaye am ca mbooloo ma ay nit, ñu doon wax naan: «Ci kàttanu Beelsebul, buuru rab yi, lay dàqe rab yi.»
15But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
16 Am ñeneen ñu fexe koo fiir, ba laaj ko kéemaan gu jóge ci asamaan tey firndeel yónnentam.
16And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
17 Waaye Yeesu xam seen xalaat ne leen: «Réew mu xeex boppam tas, kër gu xeex boppam gent.
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 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.
18If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
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.
19And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
20 Waaye bu fekkee ne ci baaraamu Yàlla laay dàqe rab, kon nguuru Yàlla agsi na ba ci yéen.
20But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 «Su nit ku bare doole gànnaayoo, di wottu këram, alalam dina raw.
21When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
22 Waaye bu ku ko ëpp doole ñëwee, daan ko, dafay nangu gànnaay ya mu yaakaaroon, ba noppi séddale alal ja.
22But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
23 Ku farul ak man, yaa ngi may xeex, ku dajalewul ak man, yaa ngi tasaare.
23He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
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.”
24When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
25 Bu ñëwee nag, mu fekk këram, ñu bale ko, defar ko ba lépp jekk.
25And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
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.»
26Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
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!»
27And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
28 Waaye Yeesu tontu ko ne: «Neel kay, ki barkeel mooy kiy déglu kàddug Yàlla te di ko topp.»
28But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
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.
29And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
30 Ndaxte ni Yunus nekke woon firnde ci waa dëkku Niniw, noonu la Doomu nit kiy nekke firnde ci niti jamono jii.
30For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
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.
31The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon 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.
32The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
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.
33No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
34 Bët mooy làmpu yaram. Bu sa bët wéree, kon sa yaram wépp leer. Waaye bu sa bët woppee, kon sa yaram wépp lëndëm.
34The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
35 Moytul ndax leer gi nekk ci yaw du lëndëm.
35Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
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.»
36If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
37 Bi Yeesu waxee ba noppi, benn Farisen wax ko, mu ñëw lekke këram. Yeesu dugg ca kër ga, toog ca lekkukaay ba.
37And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
38 Farisen bi nag daldi jaaxle, bi mu gisee ne Yeesu raxasuwul, laata muy lekk.
38And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.
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!
39And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
40 Yéena ñàkk xel! Xanaa du ki defar biti moo defar biir itam?
40Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
41 Saraxeleen li nekk ci biir te seen lépp dina sell.
41But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
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.
42But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
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.
43Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
44 Dingeen torox, ndaxte dangeen a mel ni ay bàmmeel yu raaf, ba nit ñi di ci dox te teyuñu ko.»
44Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
45 Kenn ci xutbakat yi ne ca tonn ne: «Kilifa gi, boo waxee loolu, yaa ngi nuy xas, nun itam.»
45Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
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.
46And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Dingeen torox, ndaxte yéena ngi tabax xabruy yonent, yi seeni maam reyoon.
47Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Dangeen di seede noonu ne, ànd ngeen ak li seen maam defoon, ndaxte ñoo rey yonent yi, yéen ngeen tabax xabru yi.
48Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
49 Looloo tax Yàlla mi xam lépp ne: “Dinaa leen yónnee ay yonent ak ay ndaw. Ñenn ñi dinañu leen fitnaal, rey leen.”
49Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
50 Kon nag Yàlla dina mbugal niti jamono jii ndax dereti yonent yi ñu tuur, ba àddina sosoo ak léegi,
50That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may 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.
51From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
52 Yéen xutbakat yi, dingeen torox, ndaxte yéena yóbbu caabiy xam-xam; dugguleen ci, te ku ci bëgg a dugg, ngeen tere ko ko.»
52Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
53 Bi Yeesu génnee bérab boobu, Farisen ya ak xutbakat ya ëmbal ko mer te di ko seetlu ci fànn gu nekk,
53And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
54 di ko yeeru, bëgg a këf waxam bu awul yoon.
54Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
