Wolof: New Testament

King James Version

Matthew

20

1 «Noonu nguuru Yàlla Aji Kawe ji dafa mel ni boroom kër bu génn ci suba teel, ngir jël ay liggéeykat ndax toolu réseñam.
1For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
2 Mu juboo ak liggéeykat ya ci bëccëg posetu denariyon, door leen a yebal ca toolam.
2And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 Ci yoor-yoor mu génn, gis ñeneen ñu toog ca pénc ma te liggéeyuñu.
3And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
4 Mu ne leen: “Demleen yéen itam ca tool ba, te dinaa leen fey lu jaadu.”
4And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
5 Ñu dem ca. Mu génnaat ci digg-bëccëg ak ci tisbaar, defaat noonu.
5Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
6 Mu génnati ci tàkkusaan, gis ñeneen di tendeefal. Mu ne leen: “Lu tax ngeen yendoo tendeefal, te liggéeyiwuleen?”
6And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
7 Ñu tontu ko: “Kenn jëlu nu.” Mu ne leen: “Demleen yéen itam ca tool ba.”
7They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
8 «Bi nga xamee ne timis jot na, boroom tool ba ne jawriñ ja: “Woowal liggéeykat yi te fey leen seen bëccëg, tàmbali ci ñi mujj a ñëw, ba ci ñi fi jëkk.”
8So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
9 Noonu ñi mu jël ci tàkkusaan ñëw, ku nekk jot posetu denariyon.
9And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
10 Gannaaw ga nag ñi mu jëkk a jël ñëw, yaakaar ne dinañu jot lu ëpp loolu, waaye ñoom itam ñu jot ku nekk benn denariyon.
10But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
11 Bi ñu ko jotee nag, ñu tàmbalee ñaxtu ca boroom kër ga,
11And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,
12 naan: “Ñi mujj a ñëw, benn waxtu rekk lañu liggéey, ba noppi nga yemale leen ak nun, ñi yenu coonob bëccëg bi ak naaj wu metti wi.”
12Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
13 Waaye boroom kër ga tontu kenn ci ñoom ne ko: “Sama waay tooñuma la. Ndax juboowunu woon ci benn denariyon?
13But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
14 Kon fabal li nga moom te dem. Su ma bëggee fey ku mujj a ñëw, li ma la fey yaw,
14Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
15 ndax sañumaa def ak sama alal li ma neex? Walla ndax danga am kiñaan ci li ma yéwén?”
15Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
16 Noonu ñi mujj ñooy jiituji, ñi jiitu ñooy mujj.»
16So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
17 Gannaaw loolu Yeesu di dem Yerusalem, ànd ak fukki taalibe yi ak ñaar. Noonu mu wéetoo ak ñoom, di leen xamal ci yoon wi lii:
17And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
18 «Nu ngi jëm Yerusalem, te dees na jébbal Doomu nit ki saraxalekat yu mag ya ak xutbakat ya. Dinañu ko àtte, teg ko dee,
18Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
19 jébbal ko ñi dul Yawut, ngir ñu di ko ñaawal te di ko dóor ay yar, ba noppi daaj ko ci bant. Waaye ca ñetteelu fan ba dina dekki.»
19And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.
20 Ci kaw loolu doomi Sebede ya ànd ak seen ndey, ñëw ci Yeesu. Ndey ja sukk, di ko ñaansi lenn.
20Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
21 Yeesu ne ko: «Loo bëggoon?» Mu tontu ko ne: «Damaa bëggoon nga santaane ne, boo nekkee ci sa nguur, sama ñaari doom ñii toog ak yaw, kenn ci sa ndeyjoor, ki ci des ci sa càmmooñ.»
21And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.
22 Yeesu ne ko: «Xamuleen li ngeen di ñaan. Ndax man ngeen a naan kaasu naqar, bi may naan?» Ñu tontu ko: «Man nañu ko.»
22But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
23 Yeesu ne leen: «Ci dëgg dingeen naan sama kaas, waaye toog ci sama ndeyjoor mbaa sama càmmooñ, du man maa koy maye, waaye sama Baay moo koy may ñi mu ko waajal.»
23And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.
24 Bi nga xamee ne fukki taalibe ya dégg nañu loolu, ñu mere ñaari doomi ndey ya.
24And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
25 Waaye Yeesu woo leen ne leen: «Xam ngeen ne ci xeeti àddina, njiit yi dañu leen di dóor yetu nguur, te kilifa yi dañu leen di noot.
25But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
26 Buleen mel ni ñooñu. Waaye ku bëgg a nekk kilifa ci yéen, na nekk seen surga,
26But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
27 te ku bëgg a nekk njiit, na nekk seen jaam.
27And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
28 Ndaxte noonu la Doomu nit ki ñëwe, du ngir ñu nekk ay surgaam, waaye muy seen surga, ba joxe bakkanam ngir njotug ñu bare.»
28Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
29 Gannaaw loolu Yeesu génn Yeriko, te mbooloo mu bare topp ko.
29And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
30 Fekk ñaari gumba toog ci wetu yoon wa. Bi gumba ya déggee ne, Yeesu di jaar, ñu daldi yuuxu ne ko: «Sang bi, yaw Sëtu Daawuda bi, yërëm nu!»
30And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.
31 Waaye nit ña gëdd leen, ngir ñu noppi. Teewul gumba ya gën a yuuxu naan: «Sang bi, yaw Sëtu Daawuda bi, yërëm nu!»
31And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.
32 Noonu Yeesu daldi taxaw, woo leen ne: «Lu ngeen bëgg, ma defal leen ko?»
32And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?
33 Ñu tontu ko: «Sang bi, na sunuy bët ubbiku.»
33They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
34 Noonu Yeesu yërëm leen, laal seeni bët, ñu daldi gis ca saa sa, topp ci moom.
34So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
