1 Benn bés Yeesu doon jàngal nit ña ca kër Yàlla ga, di leen yégal xebaar bu baax bi. Saraxalekat yu mag ya ak xutbakat ya ak njiit ya ñëw ne ko:
1And it came to pass, on one of those days, as he is teaching the people in the temple, and proclaiming good news, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came upon [him],
2 «Wax nu ci ban sañ-sañ ngay defe yëf yii, walla kan moo la may boobu sañ-sañ.»
2and spake unto him, saying, `Tell us by what authority thou dost these things? or who is he that gave to thee this authority?`
3 Yeesu tontu leen ne: «Man itam dinaa leen laaj lenn: wax leen ma,
3And he answering said unto them, `I will question you — I also — one thing, and tell me:
4 la Yaxya daan def, di sóob nit ñi ci ndox, fu mu ko jële, ci Yàlla walla ci nit ñi?»
4the baptism of John, from heaven was it, or from men?`
5 Ñu waxtaan ci seen biir naan: «Bu nu nee: “Ci Yàlla,” dina laaj: “Lu tax gëmuleen ko kon?”
5And they reasoned with themselves, saying — `If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?
6 Te bu nu nee: “Ci nit ñi,” mbooloo mépp dinañu nu sànni ay xeer, ndaxte gëm nañu ne Yaxya yonent la woon.»
6and if we may say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are having been persuaded John to be a prophet.`
7 Noonu ñu tontu ne, xamuñu fu mu ko jële.
7And they answered, that they knew not whence [it was],
8 Yeesu ne leen: «Kon man itam duma leen wax ci ban sañ-sañ laay defe yëf yii.»
8and Jesus said to them, `Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these things.`
9 Noonu Yeesu daldi wax nit ña léeb wii: «Amoon na nit ku jëmbët toolu réseñ, batale ko ay beykat, dem tukki tukki bu yàgg.
9And he began to speak unto the people this simile: `A certain man planted a vineyard, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long time,
10 Bi tool bi ñoree nag, mu yónni surga ci ñoom, ngir jot wàllam ci meññeef gi. Waaye beykat yi dóor ko ay yar, dàq ko, mu dellu ak loxoy neen.
10and at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that from the fruit of the vineyard they may give to him, but the husbandmen having beat him, did send [him] away empty.
11 Mu yónniwaat beneen surga, ñu dóor ko moom itam, toroxal ko, dàq ko, mu dellu ak loxoy neen.
11`And he added to send another servant, and they that one also having beaten and dishonoured, did send away empty;
12 Mu yónneeti ñetteelu surga, ñu gaañ ko, dàq ko.
12and he added to send a third, and this one also, having wounded, they did cast out.
13 «Boroom tool ba daldi ne: “Nan laay def nag? Dinaa yónni sama doom, sama reeni xol. Xëy na ñu weg ko, moom.”
13`And the owner of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my son — the beloved, perhaps having seen this one, they will do reverence;
14 Waaye bi beykat yi gisee doom ji, ñu ne ci seen biir: “Kii moo war a donn tool bi; nan ko rey, moom ndono li.”
14and having seen him, the husbandmen reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, we may kill him, that the inheritance may become ours;
15 Ñu génne ko tool bi nag, rey ko.» Noonu Yeesu laaj leen: «Nu leen boroom tool bi di def, nag?
15and having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed [him]; what, then, shall the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16 Xanaa ñëw, rey beykat yooyu, dénk tool ba ñeneen.» Bi Yeesu waxee loolu, nit ña ne ko: «Yàlla tere!»
16He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.` And having heard, they said, `Let it not be!`
17 Waaye Yeesu ne leen jàkk, daldi ne: «Kon nag lu baat yii ci Mbind mi di tekki:“Doj wa tabaxkat ya sànni,mujj na di doju koñ.”
17and he, having looked upon them, said, `What, then, is this that hath been written: A stone that the builders rejected — this became head of a corner?
18 Képp ku dal ci doj woowu, dammtoo, te ku mu dal ci sa kaw, rajaxe la.»
18every one who hath fallen on that stone shall be broken, and on whom it may fall, it will crush him to pieces.`
19 Xutbakat ya ak saraxalekat yu mag ya ñu ngi doon wut a jàpp Yeesu ca taxawaay ba, ndaxte xam nañu ne, ñoo tax mu wax léeb woowu. Waaye ragal nañu mbooloo ma.
19And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him in that hour, and they feared the people, for they knew that against them he spake this simile.
20 Noonu ñu koy yeeru, daldi yónni ay nit ñu mbubboo njub, sas leen ñu fexe koo jàpp ci ay waxam, ngir jébbal ko boroom réew, ma yor kilifteef ak sañ-sañ.
20And, having watched [him], they sent forth liers in wait, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his word, to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor,
21 Ñu daldi ñëw ci Yeesu ne ko: «Kilifa gi, xam nanu ne li ngay wax te di ko jàngale lu jub la. Amuloo parlàqu, waaye dangay xamle yoonu Yàlla ci bu wóor.
21and they questioned him, saying, `Teacher, we have known that thou dost say and teach rightly, and dost not accept a person, but in truth the way of God dost teach;
22 Wax nu, ndax jaadu na, nu fey buur bi Sesaar galag walla déet.»
22Is it lawful to us to give tribute to Caesar or not?`
23 Waaye Yeesu xam na seen pexe ne leen:
23And he, having perceived their craftiness, said unto them, `Why me do ye tempt?
24 «Wonleen ma posetu denariyon. Kan lañu ci def nataalam ak turam?» Ñu tontu ko: «Sesaar.»
24shew me a denary; of whom hath it an image and superscription?` and they answering said, `Of Caesar:`
25 Noonu mu ne leen: «Joxleen nag Sesaar li Sesaar moom, te jox Yàlla li Yàlla moom.»
25and he said to them, `Give back, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;`
26 Noonu mënuñu ko woon a jàpp ciy waxam ci kanamu mbooloo ma; ñu waaru ci tontoom, ba wedam.
26and they were not able to take hold on his saying before the people, and having wondered at his answer, they were silent.
27 Noonu ay nit, ñu bokk ci Sadusen yi, ñëw ci moom. Sadusen yi nag ñoom weddi nañu ndekkite li. Noonu ñu laaj ko ne:
27And certain of the Sadducees, who are denying that there is a rising again, having come near, questioned him,
28 «Kilifa gi, Musaa bindal na nu ne, ku magam faatu te bàyyiwul doom ak jabaram, kooku war na donn jigéen ji, ba yékkati giiru magam.
28saying, `Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one`s brother may die, having a wife, and he may die childless — that his brother may take the wife, and may raise up seed to his brother.
29 Amoon na fi nag juróom-ñaari góor ñu bokk ndey ak baay. Taaw ba takk jabar, faatu, te bàyyiwul doom.
29`There were, then, seven brothers, and the first having taken a wife, died childless,
30 Ñaareel ba takk jigéen ja, def noonu; ak ñetteel ba, ba juróom-ñaar ñépp faatu te bàyyiwuñu doom.
30and the second took the wife, and he died childless,
32 Gannaaw ga nag jigéen ja it faatu.
31and the third took her, and in like manner also the seven — they left not children, and they died;
33 Ci ndekkite li nag, kan ci ñoom moo war a donn jigéen ja, fekk ku nekk ci juróom-ñaar ñi mas na koo takk?»
32and last of all died also the woman:
34 Yeesu tontu leen ne: «Ci àddina sii, góor ñi ak jigéen ñi dañuy séy.
33in the rising again, then, of which of them doth she become wife? — for the seven had her as wife.`
35 Waaye ña ñu àtte ne, yeyoo nañoo bokk ci dundu ëllëg ak ci ndekkite li, kenn du am jabar, kenn du am jëkkër.
34And Jesus answering said to them, `The sons of this age do marry and are given in marriage,
36 Dafa fekk ne mënatuñoo dee, ndaxte dañuy mel ni malaaka yi. Ay doomi Yàlla lañu ndaxte doomi ndekkite lañu.
35but those accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the rising again that is out of the dead, neither marry, nor are they given in marriage;
37 Te Musaa sax wone na ne, néew yi dinañu dekki, ci saarum ngarab si. Foofa Musaa wooye na fa Boroom bi: “Yàllay Ibraayma, Yàllay Isaaxa, di Yàllay Yanqóoba.”
36for neither are they able to die any more — for they are like messengers — and they are sons of God, being sons of the rising again.
38 Kon nag nekkul Yàllay ñi dee waaye Yàllay ñiy dund la, ndaxte Yàllaa tax ñépp di dund.»
37`And that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the Bush, since he doth call the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
39 Ci kaw loolu ay xutbakat ne ko: «Li nga wax dëgg la, kilifa gi!»
38and He is not a God of dead men, but of living, for all live to Him.`
40 Ndaxte kenn ci ñoom ñemeetu koo laaj dara.
39And certain of the scribes answering said, `Teacher, thou didst say well;`
41 Noonu Yeesu ne leen: «Lu tax nit ñi di wax ne, Almasi bi mooy sëtu Daawuda?
40and no more durst they question him anything.
42 Ndaxte Daawuda moom ci boppam moo ne ci Sabóor:“Boroom bi nee na sama Boroom:‘Toogal ci sama ndeyjoor,
41And he said unto them, `How do they say the Christ to be son of David,
43 ba kera may daaneelsay noon ci sa kanam.’ ”
42and David himself saith in the Book of Psalms, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
44 Gannaaw Daawuda nag wooye na ko “Boroom bi,” nu muy nekke sëtam?»
43till I shall make thine enemies thy footstool;
45 Bi ko nit ña fa nekkoon ñépp doon déglu, Yeesu ne ay taalibeem:
44David, then, doth call him lord, and how is he his son?`
46 «Moytuleen xutbakat yi; dañoo bëgg di doxantu, sol ay mbubb yu réy, te ñépp di leen nuyoo ñaari loxo ci pénc mi. Ci jàngu yi, toogu yu féete kanam lañuy wut, te toogu yu yiw lañuy taamu ci reeri xew yi.
45And, all the people hearing, he said to his disciples,
47 Ñu ngi lekk alalu jigéen ñi seen jëkkër faatu, di ñaan Yàlla ay ñaani ngistal yu gudd. Seen mbugal dina gën a tar.»
46`Take heed of the scribes, who are wishing to walk in long robes, and are loving salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the suppers,
47who devour the houses of the widows, and for a pretence make long prayers, these shall receive more abundant judgment.`
