1 Gannaaw loolu, naka la mbooloo ma dajaloo ba mat ay junniy junniy nit, di tancante, Yeesu tàmbalee wax jëmale ca taalibeem ya ne leen: «Moytuleen lawiiru Farisen ya, li di naaféq.
1In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Amul dara lu nëbbu lu ñu warul a biral, mbaa lu kumpa lu ñu warul a siiwal.
2For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 Looloo tax lu ngeen wax ci biir lëndëm, dees na ko dégg ci leer. Lu ngeen déey nit ci biir néeg, dees na ko yégle ci kaw taax yi.
3Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 «Maa ngi leen koy wax, samay xarit, buleen ragal ñu man a rey yaram, ba noppi dootuñu man a def dara.
4And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 Dinaa leen wax nag ki ngeen war a ragal: ragal-leen Ki nga xam ne bu reyee ba noppi, am sañ-sañu sànni ca safara. Waaw maa ngi leen koy wax, ragal-leen kooku.
5But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
6 Juróomi picci rammatu, ndax duñu ko jaay ci ñaari dërëm? Moona Yàlla fàttewul benn ci ñoom.
6Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7 Seen kawari bopp sax waññees na leen. Kon buleen ragal dara, yéena gën ndiiraanu rammatu.
7But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8 «Te maa ngi leen koy wax, képp ku ma nangu ci kanamu nit ñi, Doomu nit ki dina la nangu ci kanamu malaakay Yàlla yi.
8Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9 Waaye ku ma gàntu ci kanamu nit ñi, dinañu la gàntu ci kanamu malaakay Yàlla yi.
9But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 Ku sosal Doomu nit ki, dinañu la baal, waaye kuy sosal Xel mu Sell mi, duñu la ko baal.
10And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
11 «Bu ñu leen yóbboo ca jàngu ya, ca kanamu kilifa ya ak àttekat ya, buleen am xel ñaar ci li ngeen war a tontu ak nan ngeen war a tontoo, walla lu ngeen war a wax,
11And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12 ndaxte Xel mu Sell mi dina leen xamal ca waxtu woowa li ngeen war a wax.»
12For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
13 Am ca mbooloo ma ku ne Yeesu: «Kilifa gi, joxal ndigal sama mag, mu sédd ma ci sunu ndono.»
13And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 Yeesu tontu ko ne: «Sama waay, kan moo ma fal àttekat ci seen kaw, walla mu teg ma fi, ma di leen séddaleel seen alal?»
14And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 Noonu mu ne leen ñoom ñépp: «Moytuleen bëgge, ndaxte bakkanu nit ajuwul ci alalam, ak lu mu baree-bare.»
15And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16 Noonu mu dégtal leen wii léeb ne: «Dafa amoon waa ju bare alal, te ay toolam nangu lool,
16And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 muy werante ci xelam naan: “Nu ma war a def? Ndaxte amatuma fu ma dajale sama ngóob mi.”
17And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 Noonu mu ne: “Nii laay def: daaneel sama sàq yi, defaraat yu gën a réy, ba man cee dajale sama dugub ji ak sama am-am jépp.
18And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 Te dinaa kañ sama bopp ne: ’Yaw mii, am nga alal ju bare ju man a dem ay ati at; noppalal sa yaram, di lekk, di naan, tey bég.’ ”
19And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 Waaye Yàlla ne ko: “Ñàkk xel! Guddig tey, dees na jël sa bakkan. Kon li nga dajale lépp, ku koy moom?”
20But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 «Kiy dajale alal ngir boppam nag te amul dara ca kanam Yàlla, lu mel nii moo lay dal.»
21So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22 Noonu Yeesu daldi ne taalibeem yi: «Loolu moo tax maa ngi leen koy wax, buleen seen bakkan jaaxal, ci lu ngeen war a lekk. Buleen jaaxle it ngir seen yaram ci lu ngeen war a sol,
22And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
23 ndaxte bakkan moo gën lekk, te yaram a gën koddaay.
23The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
24 Seetleen baaxoñ yi: duñu ji, duñu góob, amuñu dencukaay, amuñu sàq, teewul Yàllaa ngi leen di dundal. Céy ni ngeen ëppe maana picc yi!
24Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
25 Ana kan ci yéen ci kaw njaaxleem, moo man a yokk ab waxtu ci àppam?
25And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
26 Su fekkee lu tuuti loolu rekk mënuleen koo def, kon lu tax ngeen di jaaxle ci li ci des?
26If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
27 «Seetleen ni tóor-tóori ñax mi di saxe. Duñu liggéey, duñu ëcc, waaye maa ngi leen di wax ne, Suleymaan sax ci ndamam, soluwul woon ni benn ci ñoom.
27Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 Yéen ñi néew ngëm! Bu Yàlla woddee nii ñaxu tool yi, miy sax tey te bu subaa ñu def ko ci taal bi, ndax du leen gën a wodd?
28If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29 Buleen di wut lu ngeen di lekk walla lu ngeen di naan; te buleen ci jaaxle.
29And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30 Ndaxte loolu lépp, ñi xamul Yàlla ñoo koy wut. Te seen Baay xam na ne, soxla ngeen ko.
30For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 Waaye wutleen nguuram, te loolu lépp dina leen ko ci dollil.
31But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
32 «Buleen ragal dara, yéen coggal ju ndaw ji, ndaxte dafa soob seen Baay, mu jagleel leen nguuram.
32Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Jaayleen seen alal, saraxe ko, ngir sàkku ay mbuusi xaalis yu dul bënn, maanaam alal ju dul jeex ca laaxira; foofa sàcc du ko jege te max du ko yàq.
33Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
34 Ndaxte fu sa alal nekk, fa la sa xol nekk itam.
34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 «Takkuleen bu dëgër te bàyyi làmp yi tàkk.
35Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
36 Mel-leen ni ay surga yuy xaar seen njaatige buy jóge ca céet ga, ndax bu fëggee bunt ba, ñu ubbil ko ca saa sa.
36And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
37 Surga yooyee seen njaatige fekkul ñuy nelaw, ba mu agsee, ñoo gën a yeyoo ngërëm. Ci dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, njaatige bi dina sol yérey waañ, wax leen ñu toog lekk, ba noppi indil leen ñam wi.
37Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38 Su fekkee seen njaatige ci xaaju guddi lay ñëw sax, walla bu suuf seddee, te fekk leen noonu, surga yooyu ñoo gën a yeyoo ngërëm.
38And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 Waaye xamleen lii: bu boroom kër gi xamoon ban waxtu la sàcc bi di ñëw, du ko bàyyi, mu toj këram.
39And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 Yéen itam taxawleen jonn, ndaxte Doomu nit ki dina ñëw ci waxtu wu ngeen ko séenuwul.»
40Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
41 Piyeer ne Yeesu: «Boroom bi, ndax dangay dégtal léeb wii ngir nun rekk walla ngir mbooloo mépp?»
41Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
42 Boroom bi tontu ko ne: «Kan moo nekk surga bu takku te teey, bu njaatigeem teg ci waa kër gi, ngir mu leen di dundal ci jamono ji?
42And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
43 Bu njaatigeem ñëwee te gis mu def noonu, surga boobu dina am ngërëm.
43Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44 Ci dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, njaatige bi dina ko teg ci alalam jépp.
44Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
45 Waaye su fekkee surga ba da ne ci xelam: “Sama njaatige day yéex a ñëw,” ba tax mu tàmbalee dóor surga ya ca des ak mbindaan ya, di lekk te di naan, di màndi,
45But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
46 kon njaatige ba dina ñëw ci bés bu mu ko séenuwul ak waxtu wu mu xamul. Dina ko dóor ay dóor yu metti, jox ko añub ñi gëmul Yàlla.
46The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
47 «Surga bi xam bëgg-bëggu njaatigeem, te waajul mbaa mu takku def ko, dinañu ko dóor dóor yu metti.
47And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 Waaye surga bi xamul bëgg-bëggu njaatigeem, te def lu yelloo ay dóor, dinañu ko dóor dóor yu néew. Ku ñu jox lu bare dees na la feyiku lu bare. Ku ñu dénk lu bare, dees na la laajaat lu ko ëpp.
48But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
49 «Damaa ñëw ngir indi safara si ci àddina, te bëgg naa xaat taal bi tàkk.
49I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
50 Fàww ñu sóob ma ci metit, te ba looluy mat, duma noppalu.
50But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51 Ndax dangeen a xalaat ne, damaa ñëw ngir indi jàmm ci àddina? Déedéet. Maa ngi leen koy wax, damaa ñëw ngir indi féewaloo.
51Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 Gannaawsi tey, bu juróomi nit bokkee genn kër, dinañu féewaloo. Ñett dinañu féewaloo ak ñaar ñi ci des, ñaar ñi féewaloo ak ñett ñooñu.
52For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 Baay bi dina féewaloo ak doom ji, doom ji ak baayam. Ndey dina féewaloo ak doomam ju jigéen; doom ju jigéen ji ak ndeyam. Goro dina féewaloo ak jabaru doomam; jabaru nit ak goroom.»
53The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
54 Yeesu neeti mbooloo ma: «Bu ngeen gisee mu xiin ci sowu, dangeen naan ca saa sa: “Dina taw,” te mooy am.
54And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
55 Te bu ngeen yégee ngelaw liy uppe sudd, ngeen ne: “Dina tàng tàngaay wu metti,” te mooy am.
55And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
56 Naaféq yi ngeen doon! Man ngeen a ràññee melow asamaan ak suuf, waaye lu tax mënuleen a ràññee li jamonoy léegi ji di tekki?
56Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
57 «Lu tax it dungeen àtteel seen bopp liy jëf ju jub?
57Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
58 Bu la nit jiiñee dara, ba ngeen ànd di dem ca àttekat ba, nanga fexee juboo ak moom ci yoon wi. Lu ko moy, dina la yóbbu ci yoon, yoon jébbal la ca loxoy alkaati ba, mu tëj la.
58When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
59 Maa ngi la koy wax, doo génn foofa mukk te feyuloo fiftin bi ci mujj.»
59I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
