1 Noonu Yeesu daldi leen wax ciy léeb. Mu ne leen: «Amoon na fi nit ku jëmbët toolu réseñ. Mu ñag tool bi, gas pax ngir nal ci réseñ yi, tabax wottukaay, ba noppi batale ko ay beykat, daldi tukki.
1And he began to speak to them in similes: `A man planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around, and digged an under-winevat, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad;
2 «Bi tool bi ñoree nag, mu yónni surga ci ñoom, ngir jot wàllam ci meññeef gi.
2and he sent unto the husbandmen at the due time a servant, that from the husbandmen he may receive from the fruit of the vineyard,
3 Waaye ñu jàpp ko, dóor ko ay yar, dàq ko, mu dellu ak loxoy neen.
3and they, having taken him, did severely beat [him], and did send him away empty.
4 Mu yónniwaat beneen surga, waaye ñu dóor ko ci bopp, toroxal ko.
4`And again he sent unto them another servant, and at that one having cast stones, they wounded [him] in the head, and sent away — dishonoured.
5 Mu yónneeti beneen surga, ñu rey ko. Mu yónni ñeneen ñu bare, ñii ñu dóor leen, ñii ñu rey.
5`And again he sent another, and that one they killed; and many others, some beating, and some killing.
6 «Noonu mu dese ko kenn rekk, di doomam ji mu bëgg. Mujj mu yónni ko naan: “Xëy na ñu weg sama doom.”
6`Having yet therefore one son — his beloved — he sent also him unto them last, saying — They will reverence my son;
7 Waaye beykat yi daldi ne ci seen biir: “Kii moo war a donn tool bi; nan ko rey, moom ndono li.”
7and those husbandmen said among themselves — This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and ours shall be the inheritance;
8 Ñu jàpp ko nag, rey, sànni ci biti.»
8and having taken him, they did kill, and cast [him] forth without the vineyard.
9 Noonu Yeesu laaj leen: «Boroom tool bi nag, lu muy def? Xanaa ñëw, rey beykat ya, dénk tool ba ñeneen.
9`What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.
10 Ndax musuleen a jàng wax jii ci Mbind mi?“Doj wi tabaxkat yi sànni,mujj na di doju koñ;
10And this Writing did ye not read: A stone that the builders rejected, it did become the head of a corner:
11 ci Boroom bi la loolu jóge,te yéemu nanu ci.”»
11from the Lord was this, and it is wonderful in our eyes.`
12 Noonu kilifa yi di wut pexem jàpp ko, ndaxte xam nañu ne, ñoom lay wax. Waaye ragal nañu mbooloo mi, ba ñu bàyyi ko fa, dem.
12And they were seeking to lay hold on him, and they feared the multitude, for they knew that against them he spake the simile, and having left him, they went away;
13 Bi loolu amee ñu yónni ci Yeesu ay Farisen ak ñu far ak buur bi Erodd, ngir fiir ko ci waxam.
13and they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they may ensnare him in discourse,
14 Ñu ñëw ci moom nag ne ko: «Kilifa gi, xam nanu ne ku wóor nga, te ragaloo kenn, ndaxte seetuloo jëmmi nit, waaye dangay xamle yoonu Yàlla ci bu wóor. Wax nu, ndax jaadu na, nu fey buur bi Sesaar galag am déet? Nu fey ko walla nu bañ koo fey?»
14and they having come, say to him, `Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men, but in truth the way of God dost teach; is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? may we give, or may we not give?`
15 Waaye Yeesu xam na seen naaféq, mu ne leen: «Lu tax ngeen bëgg maa fiir? Indil-leen ma posetu denariyon, ma seet.»
15And he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, `Why me do ye tempt? bring me a denary, that I may see;`
16 Ñu jox ko poset bi. Noonu Yeesu laaj leen: «Kan lañu ci def nataalam ak turam?» Ñu tontu ko: «Sesaar.»
16and they brought, and he saith to them, `Whose [is] this image, and the inscription?` and they said to him, `Caesar`s;`
17 Noonu Yeesu ne leen: «Joxleen nag Sesaar li Sesaar moom, te jox Yàlla li Yàlla moom.» Ñu daldi waaru ci mbiram.
17and Jesus answering said to them, `Give back the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;` and they did wonder at him.
18 Gannaaw loolu ay Sadusen ñëw ci moom, ngir laaj ko lenn. Sadusen yi nag gëmuñu ne, ndekkite am na.
18And the Sadducees come unto him, who say there is not a rising again, and they questioned him, saying,
19 Ñu ne ko: «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.
19`Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if any one`s brother may die, and may leave a wife, and may leave no children, that his brother may take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
20 «Amoon na fi nag juróom-ñaari góor, ñu bokk ndey ak baay. Taaw ba takk jabar, faatu, te bàyyiwul doom.
20`There were then seven brothers, and the first took a wife, and dying, he left no seed;
21 Ñaareel ba takk jigéen ja, faatu moom itam te bàyyiwul doom. Ñetteel bi it noonu.
21and the second took her, and died, neither left he seed, and the third in like manner,
22 Mbir mi dem na nag, ba juróom-ñaar ñooñu ñépp dem, te kenn bàyyiwu fi doom. Mujj jigéen ja faatu moom itam.
22and the seven took her, and left no seed, last of all died also the woman;
23 Ci ndekkite li nag kan ci ñoom moo ko war a donn, fekk ku nekk ci juróom-ñaar ñi mas na koo takk?»
23in the rising again, then, whenever they may rise, of which of them shall she be wife — for the seven had her as wife?`
24 Yeesu tontu leen ne: «Mbaa du dangeen a nekk cig réer, ci li ngeen xamul Mbind mi mbaa kàttanu Yàlla?
24And Jesus answering said to them, `Do ye not because of this go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God?
25 Ndaxte keroog ndekkite li kenn du am jabar, kenn du am jëkkër, waaye dinañu mel ni malaaka yi ci kaw.
25for when they may rise out of the dead, they neither marry nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers who are in the heavens.
26 Te sax li jëm ci mbirum ndekkite, xanaa jànguleen lii Yàlla wax ci Tawreetu Musaa ci saarum ngarab si: “Maay Yàllay Ibraayma, Isaaxa ak Yanqóoba”?
26`And concerning the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the Book of Moses (at The Bush), how God spake to him, saying, I [am] the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
27 Li ci génn mooy, nekkul Yàllay ñi dee, waaye Yàllay ñiy dund la. Kon sóobu ngeen cig réer.»
27he is not the God of dead men, but a God of living men; ye then go greatly astray.`
28 Bi ñuy werante, benn xutbakat ñëw, dégg seen waxtaan, gis ne Yeesu tontu na leen tont lu leer. Mu laaj ko nag: «Ci ndigal yi, ban moo ci gën a màgg?»
28And one of the scribes having come near, having heard them disputing, knowing that he answered them well, questioned him, `Which is the first command of all?`
29 Noonu Yeesu tontu ko ne: «Bii: “Bànni Israyil, déglul! Yàlla sunu Boroom moom rekk mooy Buur.
29and Jesus answered him — `The first of all the commands [is], Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one;
30 Kon nanga bëgg Yàlla sa Boroom ak sa xol bépp ak sa bakkan bépp, sa xel mépp ak sa kàttan gépp.”
30and thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of thy soul, and out of all thine understanding, and out of all thy strength — this [is] the first command;
31 Te ñaareel bi, lii la: “Nanga bëgg sa moroom, ni nga bëgge sa bopp.” Ndigal yii ñoo sut yépp.»
31and the second [is] like [it], this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself; — greater than these there is no other command.`
32 Xutbakat bi ne ko: «Waaw kilifa gi, li nga wax dëgg la: Yàlla kenn la, te amul jeneen Yàlla ju dul moom.
32And the scribe said to him, `Well, Teacher, in truth thou hast spoken that there is one God, and there is none other but He;
33 Te nga bëgg ko ak sa xol bépp ak sa xel mépp ak sa kàttan gépp moo dàq bépp sarax bu ñuy yóbbu ngir màggal Yàlla ak bu ñuy lakk ca saraxalukaay ba.»
33and to love Him out of all the heart, and out of all the understanding, and out of all the soul, and out of all the strength, and to love one`s neighbor as one`s self, is more than all the whole burnt-offerings and the sacrifices.`
34 Bi Yeesu gisee nag ne, tontu na ak xel, mu ne ko: «Sorewuloo nguuru Yàlla.» Bi mu waxee loolu, kenn ñemeetu ko laaj dara.
34And Jesus, having seen him that he answered with understanding, said to him, `Thou art not far from the reign of God;` and no one any more durst question him.
35 Bi nga xamee ne Yeesu ma nga doon jàngale ca kër Yàlla ga, mu laaj nit ñi: «Lu tax xutbakat yi di wax ne, Almasi bi mooy sëtu Daawuda?
35And Jesus answering said, teaching in the temple, `How say the scribes that the Christ is son of David?
36 Daawuda moom wax na ci kàttanu Xel mu Sell mi naan:“Boroom bi nee na sama Boroom:«“Toogal ci sama ndeyjoor,ba kera may daaneelsay noon ci sa kanam.»“ “
36for David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on My right hand, till I place thine enemies — thy footstool;
37 Gannaaw Daawuda nag wooye na ko: “Boroom bi,” naka mu nekke sëtam?» Noonu mbooloo mu mag mi di ko déglu ak bànneex.
37therefore David himself saith of him Lord, and whence is he his son?` And the great multitude were hearing him gladly,
38 Bi Yeesu di jàngale nag, mu ne leen: «Moytuleen xutbakat yi; dañoo bëgg di doxantu, sol ay mbubb yu réy, te ñépp di leen nuyoo ñaari loxo ci pénc mi.
38and he was saying to them in his teaching, `Beware of the scribes, who will in long robes to walk, and love salutations in the market-places,
39 Ci jàngu yi, féete kanam lañuy wut, te toogu yu yiw lañuy taamu ci reeri xew yi.
39and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in suppers,
40 Ñu ngi lekk alalu jigéen ñi seeni jëkkër faatu, di ñaan Yàlla ay ñaani ngistal yu gudd. Seen mbugal dina gën a tar.»
40who are devouring the widows` houses, and for a pretense are making long prayers; these shall receive more abundant judgment.`
41 Noonu Yeesu toog ca kër Yàlla ga, janook ndab, yi ñuy def sarax ngir Yàlla, muy xool nit ña cay dugal seen xaalis. Am nag ay boroom alal yu ci di def xaalis bu bare.
41And Jesus having sat down over-against the treasury, was beholding how the multitude do put brass into the treasury, and many rich were putting in much,
42 Gannaaw ga daal benn jigéen ju jëkkëram faatu, te mu ñàkk, ñëw, def ci ñaari poseti xànjar, yu matul sax dërëm.
42and having come, a poor widow did put in two mites, which are a farthing.
43 Bi ko Yeesu gisee, mu woo taalibe yi ne leen: «Ci dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, li jigéen ju ñàkk jee dugal ca defukaay ya moo ëpp maana alalu ñeneen ñi ñépp.
43And having called near his disciples, he saith to them, `Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath put in more than all those putting into the treasury;
44 Ñoom ñépp dañu sàkku ci seen barele, waaye moom dafa sàkku ci néewleem, ba far ko joxe lépp, toog.»
44for all, out of their abundance, put in, but she, out of her want, all that she had put in — all her living.`
