1 Yeesu neeti ay taalibeem: «Benn boroom alal moo amoon bëkk-néeg bu ñu jiiñ ne, dafay pasar-pasaree alal ji.
1And he said also unto his disciples, `A certain man was rich, who had a steward, and he was accused to him as scattering his goods;
2 Waa ja woo ko ne ko: “Li may dégg ci yaw mooy lan? Leeralal ma ni nga liggéeye ak sama alal, ndaxte dootoo nekkati sama bëkk-néeg.”
2and having called him, he said to him, What [is] this I hear about thee? render the account of thy stewardship, for thou mayest not any longer be steward.
3 «Bëkk-néeg bi di xalaat naan: “Nu may def nag, segam sama njaatige dafa may dàq ci liggéey bi mu ma joxoon? Dem beyi? Awma kàttanam. Yelwaani? Rus naa ko.
3`And the steward said in himself, What shall I do, because my lord doth take away the stewardship from me? to dig I am not able, to beg I am ashamed: —
4 Xam naa ni may def, ba su ma ñàkkee sama liggéey, ay nit fat ma.”
4I have known what I shall do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
5 Noonu mu daldi woolu kenn ku nekk ca ña ameeloon njaatigeem bor. Ka jëkk a ñëw, mu ne ko: “Ñaata nga ameel sama njaatige?”
5`And having called near each one of his lord`s debtors, he said to the first, How much dost thou owe to my lord?
6 Mu ne ko: “Téeméeri bidoŋi diwlinu oliw.” Bëkk-néeg ba ne ko: “Sa kayit a ngii. Toogal fii gaaw te bind juróom-fukk.”
6and he said, A hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take thy bill, and having sat down write fifty.
7 Mu neeti keneen: “Yaw nag, ñaata nga ko ameel?” Mu ne ko: “Téeméeri saakuy pepp.” Bëkk-néeg ba ne ko: “Sa kayit a ngii. Bindal juróom-ñett-fukk.”
7`Afterward to another he said, And thou, how much dost thou owe? and he said, A hundred cors of wheat; and he saith to him, Take thy bill, and write eighty.
8 Njaatige ba nag daldi naw ni bëkk-néeg bu njublaŋ boobu muuse woon. Ndaxte ñi bokk ci àddina ñoo gën a muus ci li ñu jote ci seen diggante ak seen moroom, ba raw ñi bokk ci leeru Yàlla.»
8`And the lord commended the unrighteous steward that he did prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of the light, in respect to their generation.
9 Yeesu teg ca ne: «Maa ngi leen di wax lii: sàkkuleen ay xarit jaare ko ci alalu àddina, ngir bu alal nekkatul, ñu man leen a fat ca dal yu sax ya.
9and I say to you, Make to yourselves friends out of the mammon of unrighteousness, that when ye may fail, they may receive you to the age-during tabernacles.
10 Nit ku maandu ci yëf yu néew, dina maandu itam ci yu bare. Ku jubadi ci yëf yu néew, du jub ci yu bare.
10`He who is faithful in the least, [is] also faithful in much; and he who in the least [is] unrighteous, is also unrighteous in much;
11 Su fekkeente ne nag jubuleen ci alalu àddina, kon ku leen di dénk alal ju wóor ji?
11if, then, in the unrighteous mammon ye became not faithful — the true who will entrust to you?
12 Te su ngeen maanduwul ci alal ji ngeen moomul, kon ku leen di jox alal ji ngeen moom?
12and if in the other`s ye became not faithful — your own, who shall give to you?
13 «Benn jaam mënul a jaamoondoo ñaari sang; fàww nga bañ kii, bëgg ki ci des, walla nga jàpp ci kenn ki, xeeb ki ci des. Mënuleen a boole jaamu Yàlla ak jaamu Alal.»
13`No domestic is able to serve two lords, for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; ye are not able to serve God and mammon.`
14 Farisen yi déglu li Yeesu doon wax lépp, tàmbali di ko reetaan, ndaxte ñu bëggoon xaalis lañu.
14And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding him,
15 Waaye Yeesu ne leen: «Yéen yéena ngi fexee jub ci kanamu nit ñi waaye Yàlla xam na seen xol. Ndaxte li nit ñiy fonk, Yàlla sib na ko.
15and he said to them, `Ye are those declaring yourselves righteous before men, but God doth know your hearts; because that which among men is high, [is] abomination before God;
16 «Yoonu Musaa wi ak waxi yonent yi ñu ngi fi woon ba kera Yaxya di ñëw. La ko dale foofa nag, yégle nañu xebaar bu baax bi ci nguuru Yàlla, te ñépp a ngi góor-góorlu, ngir dugg ci.
16the law and the prophets [are] till John; since then the reign of God is proclaimed good news, and every one doth press into it;
17 Waaye nag asamaan ak suuf jóge fi moo gën a yomb randal wenn rëdd ci arafu yoonu Musaa.
17and it is easier to the heaven and the earth to pass away, than of the law one tittle to fall.
18 «Ku fase sa jabar, ba noppi takk keneen, njaaloo nga, te ku takk jigéen ju jëkkëram fase, njaaloo nga.
18`Every one who is sending away his wife, and marrying another, doth commit adultery; and every one who is marrying her sent away from a husband doth commit adultery.
19 «Dafa amoon boroom alal juy sol yére yu rafet te jafe, tey dund bés bu set dund gu neex.
19`And — a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day,
20 Fekk miskin mu ñuy wax Lasaar daan tëdd ca buntu këram, fees dell ak ay góom,
20and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,
21 te bu sañoon, di lekk ci desiti ñam wiy rot ci lekkukaayu boroom alal ji. Xaj yi sax daan nañu ñëw, di mar ay góomam.
21and desiring to be filled from the crumbs that are falling from the table of the rich man; yea, also the dogs, coming, were licking his sores.
22 «Noonu miskin ma dee, malaaka yi yóbbu ko ca wetu Ibraayma. Boroom alal ja itam dee, ñu suul ko.
22`And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers to the bosom of Abraham — and the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 Bi ñu koy mbugal ca safara, mu téen, séen fu sore Ibraayma ak Lasaar ci wetam.
23and in the hades having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he doth see Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom,
24 Noonu mu yuuxu ne: “Maam Ibraayma, yërëm ma! Yebalal Lasaar, mu sëpp catul baaraamam ci ndox, seralal ma sama làmmiñ, ndaxte maa ngi sonn lool ci safara sii!”
24and having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed in this flame.
25 Ibraayma ne ko: “Sama doom, fàttalikul ne, jot nga sa bànneex ci àddina, fekk Lasaar dëkk ci tiis. Looloo tax xolam sedd fii, yaw nag, ngay sonn.
25`And Abraham said, Child, remember that thou did receive — thou — thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and thou art distressed;
26 Rax-ca-dolli it am na kàmb gu xóot sunu diggante ak yéen, ba tax ñi bëgg a jóge fii jëm ci yéen, walla ñi bëgg a jóge foofu jëmsi ci nun, duñu ko man.”
26and besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that they who are willing to go over from hence unto you are not able, nor do they from thence to us pass through.
27 «Noonu boroom alal ja ne: “Kon nag maam, maa ngi lay ñaan, nga yebal Lasaar ca sama kër baay,
27`And he said, I pray thee, then, father, that thou mayest send him to the house of my father,
28 ndaxte am naa fa juróomi rakk. Na leen artu, ngir ñu bañ a ñëw ñoom itam ci bérabu metit wii.”
28for I have five brothers, so that he may thoroughly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.
29 Ibraayma ne ko: “Say doomu baay, ñu ngeek yoonu Musaa ak téerey yonent yi. Nañu leen déggal.”
29`Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them;
30 Boroom alal ja ne ko: “Déedéet, maam Ibraayma, waaye su kenn dekkee, dem ca ñoom, dinañu tuub seeni bàkkaar.”
30and he said, No, father Abraham, but if any one from the dead may go unto them, they will reform.
31 Waaye Ibraayma tontu ko ne: “Su ñu dégluwul Musaa ak yonent yi, kon ku dekki sax, du tax ñu gëm.”»
31And he said to him, If Moses and the prophets they do not hear, neither if one may rise out of the dead will they be persuaded.`
