1 Bi nga xamee ne Yeesu wax na loolu ba noppi, mu jóge Galile, dem ci wàllu réewu Yawut yi, gi féete ci gannaaw dexu Yurdan.
1It happened when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2 Mbooloo mu bare topp ko, mu faj leen fa.
2Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Bi mu fa nekkee, ay Farisen ñëw ci moom, bëgg koo fiir; ñu ne ko: «Ndax jaadu na nit fase jabaram, saa su ko neexee?»
3Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4 Yeesu tontu leen ne: «Xanaa jànguleen ne, ca njàlbéen ga Aji Bind ji sàkk na leen, kii góor, kii jigéen,
4He answered, “Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, Genesis 1:27
5 te mu ne: “Moo tax góor dina beru ndeyam ak baayam, di taq ci jabaram, ñoom ñaar doon benn.”
5 and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?’ Genesis 2:24
6 Kon nag nekkatuñu ñaar waaye benn. Lu Yàlla takk nag, bu ko nit tas.»
6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”
7 Bi Yeesu waxee loolu, Farisen ya laaj ko ne: «Waaye Musaa santaane na, nit jox jabaram kayitu pase, tàggook moom. Lu tax mu wax loolu nag?»
7They asked him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a bill of divorce, and divorce her?”
8 Yeesu tontu leen: «Musaa may na leen, ngeen fase seen jabar, ndax seen xol dafa dëgër, waaye ca njàlbéen ga demewul woon noonu.
8He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.
9 Te it maa ngi leen koy wax, koo xam ne kii fase nga sa jabar te du njaaloo tax, boo séyaatee ak keneen, njaaloo nga.»
9 I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.”
10 Bi ko taalibe ya déggee, ñu ne ko: «Bu dee noonu la digganteb góor ak jigéen mel, bañ a séy moo gën.»
10His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”
11 Yeesu tontu leen: «Du ñépp ñoo man a nangu loolu, waaye ñi ko Yàlla jagleel rekk.
11But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.
12 Ndaxte am na ñu judduwaale tële, am na ñu tële ci loxoy nit, te am na ñu bañ a séy ngir nguuru Yàlla Aji Kawe ji. Ku ko man a nangu, nangu ko.»
12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
13 Gannaaw loolu amoon na ay nit ñuy indil Yeesu ay xale, ngir mu teg leen ay loxoom, ñaanal leen. Waaye taalibe ya gëdd leen.
13Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.
14 Bi Yeesu gisee loolu, mu ne leen: «Bàyyileen xale yi, te buleen leen tere, ñu ñëw fi man. Ndaxte ñu mel ni ñoom, ñoo yelloo nguuru Yàlla Aji Kawe ji.»
14But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”
15 Noonu Yeesu teg leen ay loxoom, ba noppi jóge fa.
15He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
16 Bi muy dem nag, nit daldi ñëw ci moom ne ko: «Kilifa gi, lan laa war a def ci lu baax, ngir man a am dund gu dul jeex?»
16Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”
17 Yeesu tontu ko: «Lu tax nga laaj ma ci wàllu lu baax? Kenn kepp moo baax. Boo bëggee dugg ca dund googu ci kaw, nanga sàmm ndigal yi.»
17He said to him, “Why do you call me good? So MT and TR. NU reads “Why do you ask me about what is good?” No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
18 Waxambaane wa laaj ko: «Yan la?» Yeesu ne ko: «Yii: bul bóom, bul njaaloo, bul sàcc, bul seede lu dul dëgg,
18He said to him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’
19 teralal sa ndey ak sa baay, te it: nanga bëgg sa moroom, ni nga bëgge sa bopp.»
19 ‘Honor your father and mother.’ Exodus 20:12-16; Deuteronomy 5:16-20 And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” Leviticus 19:18
20 Waxambaane wa ne ko: «Sàmm naa yooyu yépp, lu ma deseeti?»
20The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”
21 Noonu Yeesu ne ko: «Boo bëggee mat sëkk, demal jaay li nga am, jox ko miskin yi te dinga woomle ca asamaan. Boo noppee, ñëwal topp ci man.»
21Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
22 Waaye bi waxambaane wa déggee loolu, mu jóge fa ak tiis, ndaxte ku bare woon alal la.
22But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.
23 Noonu Yeesu wax taalibeem ya ne leen: «Ci dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, boroom alal dugg ci nguuru Yàlla Aji Kawe ji, lu jafee ngoogu!
23Jesus said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.
24 Ma waxaat leen ko: giléem jaar ci bën-bënu pusa, moo gën a yomb boroom alal dugg ci nguuru Yàlla Aji Kawe ji.»
24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”
25 Bi nga xamee ne taalibe ya dégg nañu loolu, ñu daldi waaru lool ne ko: «Kan moo man a mucc nag?»
25When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Noonu Yeesu xool leen ne: «Loolu të na nit, waaye dara tëwul Yàlla.»
26Looking at them, Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 Bi ko Piyeer déggee, mu daldi ne: «Waaw nun nag, dëddu nanu lépp, topp la; kon nu nuy mujje nun?»
27Then Peter answered, “Behold, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?”
28 Yeesu ne leen: «Ci dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, bés baa ngi ñëw bu Yàllay yeesalaat lépp, te Doomu nit ki toog ci jalam, bi soloo ndam. Bés boobu nag, yéen ñi ma topp dingeen toog ci fukki jal ak ñaar, di àtte fukki giir ak ñaar yu bànni Israyil.
28Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Koo xam ne kii dëddu nga ngir sama tur ay kër, ay doomi ndey yu góor walla yu jigéen, ndey walla baay, ay doom walla ay tool, dinga ko jotaat téeméeri yoon, ba noppi am dund gu dul jeex.
29 Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.
30 Waaye ñu bare ci ñi jiitu, ñooy mujji; ñi mujj, ñooy jiituji.
30 But many will be last who are first; and first who are last.
