1 «Noonu nguuru Yàlla Aji Kawe ji dafa mel ni boroom kër bu génn ci suba teel, ngir jël ay liggéeykat ndax toolu réseñam.
1`For the reign of the heavens is like to a man, a householder, who went forth with the morning to hire workmen for his vineyard,
2 Mu juboo ak liggéeykat ya ci bëccëg posetu denariyon, door leen a yebal ca toolam.
2and having agreed with the workmen for a denary a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 Ci yoor-yoor mu génn, gis ñeneen ñu toog ca pénc ma te liggéeyuñu.
3`And having gone forth about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle,
4 Mu ne leen: “Demleen yéen itam ca tool ba, te dinaa leen fey lu jaadu.”
4and to these he said, Go ye — also ye — to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous I will give you;
5 Ñu dem ca. Mu génnaat ci digg-bëccëg ak ci tisbaar, defaat noonu.
5and they went away. `Again, having gone forth about the sixth and the ninth hour, he did in like manner.
6 Mu génnati ci tàkkusaan, gis ñeneen di tendeefal. Mu ne leen: “Lu tax ngeen yendoo tendeefal, te liggéeyiwuleen?”
6And about the eleventh hour, having gone forth, he found others standing idle, and saith to them, Why here have ye stood all the day idle?
7 Ñu tontu ko: “Kenn jëlu nu.” Mu ne leen: “Demleen yéen itam ca tool ba.”
7they say to him, Because no one did hire us; he saith to them, Go ye — ye also — to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous ye shall receive.
8 «Bi nga xamee ne timis jot na, boroom tool ba ne jawriñ ja: “Woowal liggéeykat yi te fey leen seen bëccëg, tàmbali ci ñi mujj a ñëw, ba ci ñi fi jëkk.”
8`And evening having come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the workmen, and pay them the reward, having begun from the last — unto the first.
9 Noonu ñi mu jël ci tàkkusaan ñëw, ku nekk jot posetu denariyon.
9And they of about the eleventh hour having come, did receive each a denary.
10 Gannaaw ga nag ñi mu jëkk a jël ñëw, yaakaar ne dinañu jot lu ëpp loolu, waaye ñoom itam ñu jot ku nekk benn denariyon.
10`And the first having come, did suppose that they shall receive more, and they received, they also, each a denary,
11 Bi ñu ko jotee nag, ñu tàmbalee ñaxtu ca boroom kër ga,
11and having received [it], they were murmuring against the householder, saying,
12 naan: “Ñi mujj a ñëw, benn waxtu rekk lañu liggéey, ba noppi nga yemale leen ak nun, ñi yenu coonob bëccëg bi ak naaj wu metti wi.”
12that These, the last, wrought one hour, and thou didst make them equal to us, who were bearing the burden of the day — and the heat.
13 Waaye boroom kër ga tontu kenn ci ñoom ne ko: “Sama waay tooñuma la. Ndax juboowunu woon ci benn denariyon?
13`And he answering said to one of them, Comrade, I do no unrighteousness to thee; for a denary didst not thou agree with me?
14 Kon fabal li nga moom te dem. Su ma bëggee fey ku mujj a ñëw, li ma la fey yaw,
14take that which is thine, and go; and I will to give to this, the last, also as to thee;
15 ndax sañumaa def ak sama alal li ma neex? Walla ndax danga am kiñaan ci li ma yéwén?”
15is it not lawful to me to do what I will in mine own? is thine eye evil because I am good?
16 Noonu ñi mujj ñooy jiituji, ñi jiitu ñooy mujj.»
16So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many are called, and few chosen.`
17 Gannaaw loolu Yeesu di dem Yerusalem, ànd ak fukki taalibe yi ak ñaar. Noonu mu wéetoo ak ñoom, di leen xamal ci yoon wi lii:
17And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples by themselves in the way, and said to them,
18 «Nu ngi jëm Yerusalem, te dees na jébbal Doomu nit ki saraxalekat yu mag ya ak xutbakat ya. Dinañu ko àtte, teg ko dee,
18`Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests and scribes,
19 jébbal ko ñi dul Yawut, ngir ñu di ko ñaawal te di ko dóor ay yar, ba noppi daaj ko ci bant. Waaye ca ñetteelu fan ba dina dekki.»
19and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify, and the third day he will rise again.`
20 Ci kaw loolu doomi Sebede ya ànd ak seen ndey, ñëw ci Yeesu. Ndey ja sukk, di ko ñaansi lenn.
20Then came near to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing and asking something from him,
21 Yeesu ne ko: «Loo bëggoon?» Mu tontu ko ne: «Damaa bëggoon nga santaane ne, boo nekkee ci sa nguur, sama ñaari doom ñii toog ak yaw, kenn ci sa ndeyjoor, ki ci des ci sa càmmooñ.»
21and he said to her, `What wilt thou?` She saith to him, `Say, that they may sit — these my two sons — one on thy right hand, and one on the left, in thy reign.`
22 Yeesu ne ko: «Xamuleen li ngeen di ñaan. Ndax man ngeen a naan kaasu naqar, bi may naan?» Ñu tontu ko: «Man nañu ko.»
22And Jesus answering said, `Ye have not known what ye ask for yourselves; are ye able to drink of the cup that I am about to drink? and with the baptism that I am baptized with, to be baptized?` They say to him, `We are able.`
23 Yeesu ne leen: «Ci dëgg dingeen naan sama kaas, waaye toog ci sama ndeyjoor mbaa sama càmmooñ, du man maa koy maye, waaye sama Baay moo koy may ñi mu ko waajal.»
23And he saith to them, `Of my cup indeed ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with ye shall be baptized; but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give, but — to those for whom it hath been prepared by my father.`
24 Bi nga xamee ne fukki taalibe ya dégg nañu loolu, ñu mere ñaari doomi ndey ya.
24And the ten having heard, were much displeased with the two brothers,
25 Waaye Yeesu woo leen ne leen: «Xam ngeen ne ci xeeti àddina, njiit yi dañu leen di dóor yetu nguur, te kilifa yi dañu leen di noot.
25and Jesus having called them near, said, `Ye have known that the rulers of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those great do exercise authority over them,
26 Buleen mel ni ñooñu. Waaye ku bëgg a nekk kilifa ci yéen, na nekk seen surga,
26but not so shall it be among you, but whoever may will among you to become great, let him be your ministrant;
27 te ku bëgg a nekk njiit, na nekk seen jaam.
27and whoever may will among you to be first, let him be your servant;
28 Ndaxte noonu la Doomu nit ki ñëwe, du ngir ñu nekk ay surgaam, waaye muy seen surga, ba joxe bakkanam ngir njotug ñu bare.»
28even as the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.`
29 Gannaaw loolu Yeesu génn Yeriko, te mbooloo mu bare topp ko.
29And they going forth from Jericho, there followed him a great multitude,
30 Fekk ñaari gumba toog ci wetu yoon wa. Bi gumba ya déggee ne, Yeesu di jaar, ñu daldi yuuxu ne ko: «Sang bi, yaw Sëtu Daawuda bi, yërëm nu!»
30and lo, two blind men sitting by the way, having heard that Jesus doth pass by, cried, saying, `Deal kindly with us, sir — Son of David.`
31 Waaye nit ña gëdd leen, ngir ñu noppi. Teewul gumba ya gën a yuuxu naan: «Sang bi, yaw Sëtu Daawuda bi, yërëm nu!»
31And the multitude charged them that they might be silent, and they cried out the more, saying, `Deal kindly with us sir — Son of David.`
32 Noonu Yeesu daldi taxaw, woo leen ne: «Lu ngeen bëgg, ma defal leen ko?»
32And having stood, Jesus called them, and said, `What will ye [that] I may do to you?`
33 Ñu tontu ko: «Sang bi, na sunuy bët ubbiku.»
33they say to him, `Sir, that our eyes may be opened;`
34 Noonu Yeesu yërëm leen, laal seeni bët, ñu daldi gis ca saa sa, topp ci moom.
34and having been moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
