¹ Amoon na benn bésu noflaay Yeesu di dem, jaar ci ay tool yu ñor. Taalibeem ya di fàq ay cëgg, di leen boxom ci seeni loxo tey lekk.

¹And it came to pass, on the second-first sabbath, as he is going through the corn fields, that his disciples were plucking the ears, and were eating, rubbing with the hands,

² Am ay Farisen yu ne: «Lu tax ngeen di def lu jaaduwul ci bésu noflaay bi?»

²and certain of the Pharisees said to them, `Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbaths?`

³ Yeesu tontu leen ne: «Ndax jànguleen la Daawuda defoon, ba mu xiifee, moom ak ña mu àndaloon?

³And Jesus answering said unto them, `Did ye not read even this that David did, when he hungered, himself and those who are with him,

⁴ Xanaa yéguleen, ni mu dugge woon ca kër Yàlla ga, jël mburu, ya ñu jébbal Yàlla, lekk ca, jox ca ña mu àndaloon? Fekk jaaduwul kenn lekk ko, ku dul saraxalekat.»

⁴how he went into the house of God, and the loaves of the presentation did take, and did eat, and gave also to those with him, which it is not lawful to eat, except only to the priests?`

⁵ Yeesu dellu ne leen: «Doomu nit ki mooy boroom bésu noflaay bi.»

⁵and he said to them, — `The Son of Man is lord also of the sabbath.`

⁶ Beneen bésu noflaay, Yeesu dugg ci jàngu bi, di fa jàngale. Amoon na fa nit ku loxol ndeyjooram làggi.

⁶And it came to pass also, on another sabbath, that he goeth into the synagogue, and teacheth, and there was there a man, and his right hand was withered,

⁷ Xutbakat yi ak Farisen yi ñu ngi ko doon xool, ba xam dina ko faj ci bésu noflaay bi, ngir ñu am lu ñu ko tuumaale.

⁷and the scribes and the Pharisees were watching him, if on the sabbath he will heal, that they might find an accusation against him.

⁸ Waaye Yeesu xam seen xalaat, daldi ne ku loxoom làggi: «Jógal taxaw ci kanamu ñépp.» Nit ka daldi jóg taxaw.

⁸And he himself had known their reasonings, and said to the man having the withered hand, `Rise, and stand in the midst;` and he having risen, stood.

⁹ Yeesu ne leen: «Ma laaj leen, lan moo jaadu, nu def ko bésu noflaay bi, lu baax mbaa lu bon; nu musal nit mbaa nu lor nit?»

⁹Then said Jesus unto them, `I will question you something: Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save or to kill?`

¹⁰ Ci kaw loolu mu xool leen ñoom ñépp, ba noppi ne nit ka: «Tàllalal sa loxo.» Mu tàllal ko, loxoom daldi wér peŋŋ.

¹⁰And having looked round on them all, he said to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand;` and he did so, and his hand was restored whole as the other;

¹¹ Waaye nit ña mer ba fees, di rabat pexe yu jëm ca Yeesu.

¹¹and they were filled with madness, and were speaking with one another what they might do to Jesus.

¹² Ca bés yooya Yeesu yéeg ca tund wa ngir ñaan, mu fanaan fa, di ñaan ci Yàlla.

¹²And it came to pass in those days, he went forth to the mountain to pray, and was passing the night in the prayer of God,

¹³ Bi bët setee, Yeesu woo taalibeem yi, tànn ci fukk ak ñaar, tudde leen ay ndawam:

¹³and when it became day, he called near his disciples, and having chosen from them twelve, whom also he named apostles,

¹⁴ Simoŋ, mi Yeesu tudde Piyeer, ak Andare, mi bokk ak Piyeer ndey ak baay; Saag ak Yowaana, Filib ak Bartelemi,

¹⁴(Simon, whom also he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

¹⁵ Macë ak Tomaa, Saag doomu Alfe, ak Simoŋ mi bokk ci mbooloo, ma ñu tudde Ñi farlu ci moom seen réew;

¹⁵Matthew and Thomas, James of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,

¹⁶ Yudaa doomu Saag, ak Yudaa Iskariyo, mi mujj a wor.

¹⁶Judas of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also became betrayer;)

¹⁷ Yeesu ànd ak ndaw ya, wàcc tund ya, daldi taxaw ca joor ga, fa mbooloom taalibe mu takku nekkoon. Amoon na fa it ay nit ñu bare ñu jóge ca réewu Yawut ya mépp ak ca dëkku Yerusalem ak dëkk yi nekk ca wetu géej ga, maanaam Tir ak Sidon.

¹⁷and having come down with them, he stood upon a level spot, and a crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judea, and Jerusalem, and the maritime Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their sicknesses,

¹⁸ Dañoo ñëw ngir déglu ko, te it ngir mu faj leen. Ñi rab jàpp it faju nañu.

¹⁸and those harassed by unclean spirits, and they were healed,

¹⁹ Ñépp a ngi ko doon wut a laal ndax doole jiy jóge ci moom, di faj ñépp.

¹⁹and all the multitude were seeking to touch him, because power from him was going forth, and he was healing all.

²⁰ Yeesu xool ay taalibeem ne leen:«Yéen ñi sësul lu dul ci Yàlla, barkeel ngeen,ndaxte nguuru Yàlla, yéena ko yelloo.

²⁰And he, having lifted up his eyes to his disciples, said: `Happy the poor — because yours is the reign of God.

²¹ Yéen ñi xiif léegi, barkeel ngeen,ndax dingeen regg.Yéen ñiy naqarlu léegi, barkeel ngeen,ndax dingeen ree.

²¹`Happy those hungering now — because ye shall be filled. `Happy those weeping now — because ye shall laugh.

²² Barkeel ngeen, bu leen nit ñi bañee, di leen dàq ak a saaga, di sib seen tur ngir Doomu nit ki.

²²`Happy are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach, and shall cast forth your name as evil, for the Son of Man`s sake —

²³ Bu boobaa bégleen te bànneexu, ndax seen yool dina réy ci laaxira. Ndaxte noonu la maami seeni bañ daan fitnaale yonent yi.

²³rejoice in that day, and leap, for lo, your reward [is] great in the heaven, for according to these things were their fathers doing to the prophets.

²⁴ Waaye nag yéen boroom alal yi, torox ngeen,ndaxte jot ngeen ba noppi seen bànneex.

²⁴`But wo to you — the rich, because ye have got your comfort.

²⁵ Yéen ñiy lekk ba suur léegi, torox ngeen,ndax ëllëg dingeen xiif.Yéen ñiy ree léegi, torox ngeen,ndax dingeen am aw naqar, ba jooy xàcc.

²⁵`Wo to you who have been filled — because ye shall hunger. `Wo to you who are laughing now — because ye shall mourn and weep.

²⁶ Torox ngeen bu leen ñépp dee waxal lu baax, ndaxte noonu la seeni maam daan jëfe ak ña doon mbubboo yonent.

²⁶`Wo to you when all men shall speak well of you — for according to these things were their fathers doing to false prophets.

²⁷ «Waaye maa ngi leen koy wax, yéen ñi may déglu, soppleen seeni bañaale tey defal lu baax ñi leen bañ.

²⁷`But I say to you who are hearing, Love your enemies, do good to those hating you,

²⁸ Yéeneleen lu baax ñi leen di móolu, te ñaanal ñi leen di sonal.

²⁸bless those cursing you, and pray for those accusing you falsely;

²⁹ Ku la talaata cib lex, jox ko ba ca des. Kuy nangu sa mbubb mu mag, bul téye sa turki.

²⁹and to him smiting thee upon the cheek, give also the other, and from him taking away from thee the mantle, also the coat thou mayest not keep back.

³⁰ Képp ku la ñaan, may ko, te ku nangu say yëf, bu ko ko laaj.

³⁰`And to every one who is asking of thee, be giving; and from him who is taking away thy goods, be not asking again;

³¹ Defal-leen nit ñi li ngeen bëgg, ñu defal leen ko.

³¹and as ye wish that men may do to you, do ye also to them in like manner;

³² «Su ngeen soppee ñi leen sopp, ban ngërëm ngeen ciy am? Ndaxte bàkkaarkat yi sax sopp nañu ñi leen sopp.

³²and — if ye love those loving you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful love those loving them;

³³ Te bu ngeen defalee lu baax ñi leen koy defal, ban ngërëm ngeen ciy am? Bàkkaarkat yi it dañuy def noonu.

³³and if ye do good to those doing good to you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful do the same;

³⁴ Te bu ngeen dee leble te yaakaar ci ndelloo, ban ngërëm ngeen ciy am? Bàkkaarkat yi it dañuy lebal seeni moroom, ngir ñu delloo leen ko.

³⁴and if ye lend [to those] of whom ye hope to receive back, what grace have ye? for also the sinful lend to sinners — that they may receive again as much.

³⁵ Waaye soppleen seeni noon, di leen defal lu baax, tey leble, bañ a yaakaar ñu delloo leen ko. Noonu seen yool dina mag te dingeen wone ne, yéenay doomi Aji Kawe ji, ndaxte Yàlla day wone mbaaxam ci ñu goreedi ñi ak ñu soxor ñi.

³⁵`But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward will be great, and ye shall be sons of the Highest, because He is kind unto the ungracious and evil;

³⁶ Nangeen am yërmande, ni seen Baay ame yërmande.

³⁶be ye therefore merciful, as also your Father is merciful.

³⁷ «Buleen àtte seeni moroom ak ñaaw njort, te deesu leen àtte. Buleen daan kenn, te deesu leen daan. Baal-leen ñi ci des, te dinañu leen baal.

³⁷`And judge not, and ye may not be judged; condemn not, and ye may not be condemned; release, and ye shall be released.

³⁸ Mayeleen te dinañu leen may. Dinañu leen ëmbal natt bu baax bu ñu rokkas te yengal ko, mu fees bay tuuru. Ndaxte dees na leen nattal ak natt, bi ngeen di nattale.»

³⁸`Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed, and shaken, and running over, they shall give into your bosom; for with that measure with which ye measure, it shall be measured to you again.`

³⁹ Noonu Yeesu wax na leen beneen léeb ne leen: «Ndax gumba man na wommat moroomam? Mbaa duñu daanu ñoom ñaar ci kàmb?

³⁹And he spake a simile to them, `Is blind able to lead blind? shall they not both fall into a pit?

⁴⁰ Taalibe gënul kilifaam, waaye taalibe bu jàng ba wàcc, dina yem ak kilifaam demin.

⁴⁰A disciple is not above his teacher, but every one perfected shall be as his teacher.

⁴¹ «Lu tax ngay xool ñax gi ci sa bëtu mbokk, te gisuloo gànj gi ci sa bët yaw?

⁴¹`And why dost thou behold the mote that is in thy brother`s eye, and the beam that [is] in thine own eye dost not consider?

⁴² Nan nga man a waxe sa mbokk: “Sama xarit, may ma, ma dindil la ñax gi ci sa bët,” yaw mi gisul gànj gi nekk ci sa bët? Naaféq! Jëkkal a dindi gànj gi ci sa bët, te noonu dinga man a gis bu leer, ngir dindi ñax gi ci sa bëtu mbokk.

⁴²or how art thou able to say to thy brother, Brother, suffer, I may take out the mote that [is] in thine eye — thyself the beam in thine own eye not beholding? Hypocrite, take first the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to take out the mote that [is] in thy brother`s eye.

⁴³ «Garab gu baax du meññ doom yu bon, te garab gu bon du meññ doom yu baax.

⁴³`For there is not a good tree making bad fruit, nor a bad tree making good fruit;

⁴⁴ Ndaxte garab, meññeefam lañu koy xàmmee. Deesul witte figg ci dédd, walla réseñ ci xaaxaam.

⁴⁴for each tree from its own fruit is known, for not from thorns do they gather figs, nor from a bramble do they crop a grape.

⁴⁵ Noonu nit ku baax, lu baax lay wax, ndax loolu la denc ci xolam, te nit ku bon, lu bon lay wax, ndaxte denc na lu bon ci xolam. Ndaxte gémmiñ, la fees xolam lay wax.

⁴⁵`The good man out of the good treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which [is] good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which [is] evil; for out of the abounding of the heart doth his mouth speak.

⁴⁶ «Lu tax ngeen may wooye “Boroom bi, Boroom bi,” te dungeen def li may wax?

⁴⁶`And why do ye call me, Lord, Lord, and do not what I say?

⁴⁷ Képp ku ñëw ci man, di dégg samay wax te di ko jëfe, ma won leen nu muy mel.

⁴⁷Every one who is coming unto me, and is hearing my words, and is doing them, I will shew you to whom he is like;

⁴⁸ Dafa mel ni nit kuy tabax kër, mu gas fu xóot, jot doj wu réy, samp fa kër ga. Bi mbënn ma ñëwee, wal ma dafa dal ca kër ga te yenguwul, ndaxte nit ka dafa tabax kër ga tabax bu dëgër.

⁴⁸he is like to a man building a house, who did dig, and deepen, and laid a foundation upon the rock, and a flood having come, the stream broke forth on that house, and was not able to shake it, for it had been founded upon the rock.

⁴⁹ Waaye képp ku dégg samay wax te jëfewuloo ko, dinga mel ni nit ku tabax këram ci suuf, bañ koo defal fondamaa. Bi wal ma dalee ca kër googa, dafa màbb ca saa sa, lépp yàqu yaxeet.»

⁴⁹`And he who heard and did not, is like to a man having builded a house upon the earth, without a foundation, against which the stream brake forth, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house became great.`
