¹ Bi loolu amee Yeesu jóge fa, dellu réewam, ànd ak taalibe yi.

¹And he went forth thence, and came to his own country, and his disciples do follow him,

² Bésu noflaay bi nag mu jàngal leen ci seen jàngu, ba mbooloom ñi ko dégg waaru naan: «Lii, fu mu ko jële, te xam-xam bii mu yor, lu mu doon, ba muy def kéemaan yii?

²and sabbath having come, he began in the synagogue to teach, and many hearing were astonished, saying, `Whence hath this one these things? and what the wisdom that was given to him, that also such mighty works through his hands are done?

³ Ndax kii du minise bi? Ndax du doomu Maryaama te magu Saag, Yuusufa, Yuda ak Simoŋ? Te ay rakkam yu jigéen ndax nekkuñu fi ak nun?» Kon nag ñu daldi ko xeeb.

³Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us?` — and they were being stumbled at him.

⁴ Noonu Yeesu ne leen: «Dees na faaydaal yonent, waaye du ci réewam, ciy bokkam mbaa ci këram.»

⁴And Jesus said to them — `A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his kindred, and in his own house;`

⁵ Te Yeesu mënu faa def ay kéemaan yu bare, lu dul teg loxo yenn jarag, wéral leen.

⁵and he was not able there any mighty work to do, except on a few infirm people having put hands he did heal [them];

⁶ Te mu waaru ndax seen ngëmadi. Bi loolu amee Yeesu di wër dëkk ya, di jàngale.

⁶and he wondered because of their unbelief. And he was going round the villages, in a circle, teaching,

⁷ Noonu mu woo ci moom fukki taalibe ya ak ñaar, jox leen sañ-sañu dàq rab yi, yónni leen, ñu ànd ñaar-ñaar.

⁷and he doth call near the twelve, and he began to send them forth two by two, and he was giving them power over the unclean spirits,

⁸ Mu digal leen nii: «Bu ngeen di dem, buleen yóbbaale dara; du mburu mbaa mbuus mbaa xaalis ci seeni maxtume, waaye yemleen ci aw yet rekk.

⁸and he commanded them that they may take nothing for the way, except a staff only — no scrip, no bread, no brass in the girdle,

⁹ Sol-leen ay dàll te yem ci benn turki.»

⁹but having been shod with sandals, and ye may not put on two coats.

¹⁰ Mu ne leen: «Kër gu ngeen dugg, dal-leen fa, ba kera ngeen jóge dëkk ba.

¹⁰And he said to them, `Whenever ye may enter into a house, there remain till ye may depart thence,

¹¹ Koo xam ne gàntu na leen, mbaa mu tanqamlu leen, génnleen fa, yëlëb seen pëndu tànk, ngir seede leen seen réer.»

¹¹and as many as may not receive you, nor hear you, going out thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony to them; verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in a day of judgment than for that city.`

¹² Noonu taalibe ya dem, di waare naan: «Tuubleen seeni bàkkaar.»

¹²And having gone forth they were preaching that [men] might reform,

¹³ Ñu dàq ay rab yu bare, te diw boppi jarag yu bare, wéral leen.

¹³and many demons they were casting out, and they were anointing with oil many infirm, and they were healing [them].

¹⁴ Noonu Erodd buur bi dégg loolu, ndaxte turu Yeesu siiwoon na. Mu ne nag: «Yaxya dekki na, moo tax mu ànd ak kàttanu def ay kéemaan.»

¹⁴And the king Herod heard, (for his name became public,) and he said — `John the Baptist out of the dead was raised, and because of this the mighty powers are working in him.`

¹⁵ Ñeneen ne: «Kii Iliyas la.» Ñi ci des ne: «Yonent la, bu mel ni yonent yu jëkk ya.»

¹⁵Others said — `It is Elijah,` and others said — `It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.`

¹⁶ Waaye bi ko Erodd déggee, mu ne: «Yaxya male ma dagglu boppam, moom moo dekki.»

¹⁶And Herod having heard, said — `He whom I did behead — John — this is he; he was raised out of the dead.`

¹⁷ Fekk Erodd yónnee woon na, jàpp Yaxya, yeew ko, tëj. Ndaxte Erodd takkoon na Erojàdd jabaru Filib magam.

¹⁷For Herod himself, having sent forth, did lay hold on John, and bound him in the prison, because of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he married her,

¹⁸ Te Yaxya ne ko: «Jaaduwul nga denc sa jabaru mag.»

¹⁸for John said to Herod — `It is not lawful to thee to have the wife of thy brother;`

¹⁹ Moo tax Erojàdd ëmbal ko mer, ba bëgg koo rey, waaye mënu koo def.

¹⁹and Herodias was having a quarrel with him, and was willing to kill him, and was not able,

²⁰ Ndaxte Erodd dafa ragal Yaxya, ba sàmm bakkanam, xam ne ku jub la te sell. Bu ko daan déglu it, day jaaxle lool, teewul mu bég ci déglu ko.

²⁰for Herod was fearing John, knowing him a man righteous and holy, and was keeping watch over him, and having heard him, was doing many things, and hearing him gladly.

²¹ Noonu bés bu yell ñëw, ba Erodd doon màggal bésu juddoom; mu woo ca xew wa ay jaraafam ak kilifay xare ba ak njiiti diiwaanu Galile.

²¹And a seasonable day having come, when Herod on his birthday was making a supper to his great men, and to the chiefs of thousands, and to the first men of Galilee,

²² Booba doomu Erojàdd dugg di fecc, mu neex Erodd ak gan ñi, ba buur bi ne janq bi: «Laaj ma loo bëgg, dinaa la ko jox.»

²²and the daughter of that Herodias having come in, and having danced, and having pleased Herod and those reclining (at meat) with him, the king said to the damsel, `Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give to thee,`

²³ Mu boole ci ngiñ ne ko: «Loo ma man a laaj, dinaa la ko jox, ba ci genn-wàllu réew mi sax.»

²³and he sware to her — `Whatever thou mayest ask me, I will give to thee — unto the half of my kingdom.`

²⁴ Noonu janq bi génn ne ndeyam: «Lu may laaj?» Mu tontu ko: «Laajal boppu Yaxya.»

²⁴And she, having gone forth, said to her mother, `What shall I ask for myself?` and she said, `The head of John the Baptist;`

²⁵ Mu daldi gaawantoo dugg nag ci kanamu buur bi ne ko: «Damaa bëgg, nga indil ma léegi boppu Yaxya ci biir ndab.»

²⁵and having come in immediately with haste unto the king, she asked, saying, `I will that thou mayest give me presently, upon a plate, the head of John the Baptist.`

²⁶ Bi ko buur ba déggee, mu am naqar wu réy. Waaye bëggu koo gàntu ndax ngiñ li ak gan ñi.

²⁶And the king — made very sorrowful — because of the oaths and of those reclining (at meat) with him, would not put her away,

²⁷ Mu daldi yónni nag xarekat, jox ko ndigal, mu indil ko boppu Yaxya. Waa ji dem, dagg boppu Yaxya ca kaso ba,

²⁷and immediately the king having sent a guardsman, did command his head to be brought,

²⁸ indi bopp bi ci biir ndab, jox ko janq bi, mu daldi ko jox yaayam.

²⁸and he having gone, beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head upon a plate, and did give it to the damsel, and the damsel did give it to her mother;

²⁹ Ba taalibey Yaxya déggee loolu, ñu ñëw, fab néew ba, suul ko ci bàmmeel.

²⁹and having heard, his disciples came and took up his corpse, and laid it in the tomb.

³⁰ Gannaaw loolu ndaw yi dajaloo ci wetu Yeesu, nettali li ñu def ak li ñu jàngale lépp.

³⁰And the apostles are gathered together unto Jesus, and they told him all, and how many things they did, and how many things they taught,

³¹ Ci kaw loolu Yeesu ne leen: «Nanu beddeeku, dem ci bérab bu wéet; ngeen noppalu fa tuuti.» Waxoon na loolu, ndaxte amoon na ñu bare ñu doon dem ak a dikk, ba amuñu sax jot ngir lekk.

³¹and he said to them, `Come ye yourselves apart to a desert place, and rest a little,` for those coming and those going were many, and not even to eat had they opportunity,

³² Noonu ñu dugg cig gaal, dem ca bérab bu wéet.

³²and they went away to a desert place, in the boat, by themselves.

³³ Bi ñuy dem nag, am ñu leen gis, xàmmi leen, ñu daldi jóge ci dëkk yépp, daw, jiitu leen fa.

³³And the multitudes saw them going away, and many recognised him, and by land from all the cities they ran thither, and went before them, and came together to him,

³⁴ Bi Yeesu génnee gaal gi, mu gis mbooloo mu réy, yërëm leen, ndaxte dañoo mel ni xar yu amul sàmm. Kon mu daldi leen jàngal lu bare.

³⁴and having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion on them, that they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach many things.

³⁵ Ca ngoon sa taalibe yi ñëw ci moom ne ko: «Fii àllub neen la, te léegi mu guddi.

³⁵And now the hour being advanced, his disciples having come near to him, say, — `The place is desolate, and the hour is now advanced,

³⁶ Yiwil mbooloo mi nag, ñu dugg ci àll bi ak dëkk yi nu wër, jënd lu ñu lekk.»

³⁶let them away, that, having gone away to the surrounding fields and villages, they may buy to themselves loaves, for what they may eat they have not.`

³⁷ Waaye Yeesu tontu leen ne: «Yéen joxleen leen lu ñu lekk.» Ñu ne ko: «Xanaa nu jënd lu tollook peyu juróom-ñetti weer ci mburu, jox leen ñu lekk?»

³⁷And he answering said to them, `Give ye them to eat,` and they say to him, `Having gone away, may we buy two hundred denaries` worth of loaves, and give to them to eat?`

³⁸ Yeesu laaj leen: «Ñaata mburu ngeen am? Demleen seeti.» Ñu dem seeti ne ko: «Juróomi mburu ak ñaari jën.»

³⁸And he saith to them, `How many loaves have ye? go and see;` and having known, they say, `Five, and two fishes.`

³⁹ Noonu Yeesu sant mbooloo mi, ñu def ay géew, toog ci ñax mu naat mi.

³⁹And he commanded them to make all recline in companies upon the green grass,

⁴⁰ Ñu toog nag ay géewi juróom-fukk ak téeméer.

⁴⁰and they sat down in squares, by hundreds, and by fifties.

⁴¹ Bi loolu amee Yeesu jël juróomi mburu yi ak ñaari jën yi, xool ci kaw, sant Yàlla, ba noppi mu damm mburu yi, jox ko taalibe yi, ngir ñu séddale ko mbooloo mi. Ñaari jën yi it mu séddale ko ñépp.

⁴¹And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves, and was giving to his disciples, that they may set before them, and the two fishes divided he to all,

⁴² Noonu ñépp lekk ba suur.

⁴²and they did all eat, and were filled,

⁴³ Te it ñu dajale la desoon ca dammiti mburu ak jën ya, mu nekk fukki pañe ak ñaar yu fees.

⁴³and they took up of broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full, and of the fishes,

⁴⁴ Ñu lekkoon nag matoon na limu juróomi junniy góor.

⁴⁴and those eating of the loaves were about five thousand men.

⁴⁵ Ci kaw loolu Yeesu sant ay taalibeem, ñu dugg ci gaal gi, jàll ba Betsayda, bi muy yiwi mbooloo mi.

⁴⁵And immediately he constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before to the other side, unto Bethsaida, till he may let the multitude away,

⁴⁶ Bi mu tàggtoo ak mbooloo mi, mu yéeg ca tund wa, ñaan fa Yàlla.

⁴⁶and having taken leave of them, he went away to the mountain to pray.

⁴⁷ Noonu guddi jot, fekk gaal gi nekk ci diggu dex gi, te Yeesu rekk moo nekk ca tefes ga.

⁴⁷And evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon the land;

⁴⁸ Booba mu gis taalibe yi sonn lool ci joow gaal gi ndax li leen ngelaw li soflu. Ca njël nag mu jëm ci ñoom, di dox ci kaw dex gi, ba xaw leen a raw.

⁴⁸and he saw them harassed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, and about the fourth watch of the night he doth come to them walking on the sea, and wished to pass by them.

⁴⁹ Bi ñu ko gisee nag, muy dox ci kaw dex gi, ñu foog ne njuuma la, daldi yuuxu.

⁴⁹And they having seen him walking on the sea, thought [it] to be an apparition, and cried out,

⁵⁰ Ndaxte ñépp gis ko te jommi ci. Waaye mu wax ak ñoom ci saa si ne leen: «Takkleen seen fit, man la, buleen tiit!»

⁵⁰for they all saw him, and were troubled, and immediately he spake with them, and saith to them, `Take courage, I am [he], be not afraid.`

⁵¹ Noonu mu fekksi leen ci gaal gi, ngelaw daldi ne tekk.

⁵¹And he went up unto them to the boat, and the wind lulled, and greatly out of measure were they amazed in themselves, and were wondering,

⁵² Njàqarey taalibe ya nag weesu dayo, ndaxte seen xol dafa fatt, ba réere mbir kéemaan, gi Yeesu defoon ci mburu yi.

⁵²for they understood not concerning the loaves, for their heart hath been hard.

⁵³ Bi nga xamee ne jàll nañu, ba egg diiwaanu Senesaret, ñu teer fa,

⁵³And having passed over, they came upon the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore,

⁵⁴ génn ca gaal ga. Ci saa si nit ñi xàmmi ko,

⁵⁴and they having come forth out of the boat, immediately having recognised him,

⁵⁵ ñu daldi daw ca diiwaan ba bépp, te fépp fu ñu ko dégg ñu di ko indil ñu wopp, tëdd ci seeni lal.

⁵⁵having run about through all that region round about, they began upon the couches to carry about those ill, where they were hearing that he is,

⁵⁶ Te fu mu man a aw, ci dëkk yu mag mbaa yu ndaw walla ci àll bi, ñu indil ko jarag yi ci pénc yi, ñaan ko, mu may leen ñu laal cati mbubbam rekk. Te képp ku ko laal daldi wér.

⁵⁶and wherever he was going, to villages, or cities, or fields, in the market-places they were laying the infirm, and were calling upon him, that they may touch if it were but the fringe of his garment, and as many as were touching him were saved.
