< Luke 11 >

1 When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John [Yah is gracious] also taught his disciples.”
Danyenli Jesu den jaandi kaanu ba. wan den jaandi ki gbeni, o ŋoadikaaba siiga yendo den yedi o: “N Daano, bangi ti tin baa jaandi maama, nani Jan n bangi o ya ŋoadikaaba maama.”
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say, Avinu shebashamayim ·our Father in Heaven·, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Jesu den yedi ba: “Yi ya yen baa jaandi yin yedi: 'Ti Baa, a yeli n baa mi gagidima. A diema n cua.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
Pa ti daali kuli ya jiema banlu n dagidi.
4 Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
Tieni ti po sugili ti tuonbiadi po kelima ti moko tiendi sugili yaaba n tudi tipo kuli po. Da tuo tin ba mi tulima nni.'”
5 He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight, and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
O go den yedi ba: “Yi siiga yendo ya pia o danli ki gedi o kani ku yagisiigu ki yedi o: 'N danli, ledi nni dupen bonbitaa,
6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’
kelima n danli yendo fii li sancenli ki cua n kani ke n naa pia liba ki baa candi o.'
7 and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’?
O danli yua n ye o dieli tugu nni yeni ya goa ki yedi o: 'Da yagini n yama, n luoni bu buliñoabu no, mini leni n bila kuli mo duani n kan go fidi ki fii ki pa ŋa.'
8 I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
N yedi yi, baa o ya kan fidi ki fii kelima o tie o danli, o baa fii kelima o tigini o po, ki pa o wan luo yaala yeni kuli.
9 “I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.
Lanyaapo n yedi yi, mia mani, bi baa pa yi, lingi mani, yi baa le, yedi mani: 'Gafala,' bu buliñoabu kani, bi baa luodi yipo.
10 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
Kelima yua n mia kuli baa baa, yua mo n lingi kuli mo baa le, bi baa luodi yua n yedi: 'Gafala,' ki bua ki kua kuli po mo.
11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
Yinba bi baanba siiga, ŋme ya bijua n baa mia o dupen wan teni o li tanli, bi o ya mia o o jamo wan teni o o wa?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
Bi o baa mia o li jenli wan teni o o namo?
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give Ruach haKodesh [Spirit of the Holiness] to those who ask him?”
Yinba yaaba n bia ya bani ki teni yi bila li bonŋanla laa pia kuli tama ke yi Baa yua n ye tanpoli baa pa yaaba n mia o o Fuoma Yua.”
14 He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
Jesu den deli ki ñani o nilo niinni ya cicibiadiga n teni ke o tie muulo. Ki cicibiadiga yeni n ñani ya yogunu, o muulo den maadi ke li pakili leni li fangili cuo ku niligu.
15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Ba'al-Zibbul [Lord of Flies], the prince of the demons.”
Ama bi tianba den yedi: “Mu cicibiadimu bado Belisebu n puni o u paalu ke o fidi ki deli mu cicibiadimu bi niba niinni.”
16 Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
Bi tianba mo den bua ki dia Jesu ku madiagu, ki mia o ke wan tieni ya bancianma n baa doagidi ke o paalu ñani U Tienu kani.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
Jesu den bani ban maliti yaala ki yedi ba: “Ya diema n boagidi ki tuogi leni mi yuli kuli baa bodi, mi diena kuli mo baa baali a ya po.
18 If Satan [Adversary] also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Ba'al-Zibbul [Lord of Flies].
Sutaani yaaba mo ya deli ki ñani Sutaani yaaba, o diema baa tieni lede ki ya ye? N yedi yeni kelima yi yedi ke mu cicibiadimu bado n puni nni u paalu ke n deli mu cicibiadimu.
19 But if I cast out demons by Ba'al-Zibbul [Lord of Flies], by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore will they be your judges.
Belisebu n ya puni u paalu ke n deli mu cicibiadimu, yi ya ŋoadikaaba mo deli mu ŋme ya yeli nne? Lanyaapo bi baa jia yi leni ti buudi.
20 But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.
Ama li ya tie ke U Tienu nubili n puni nni u paalu ke n deli mu cicibiadimu, lanwani U Tienu pundi yi kani.
21 “When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
O gbamandaano ya kubi o jatiadi ki gu o diegu, wan pia yaala kuli, waa bangi lipo.
22 But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.
Ama yua n pa ki cie o ya cua ki baa o ki paadi o, o baa fie o jatiadi wan bi dugi yaadi yaapo kuli, ki taa o fagidi ki boagidiboadi.
23 “He that is not with me is against me. He who does not gather with me scatters.
Yua n ki taa npo kuli tie n yiekoa. Yua n ki todi nni ke n taandi nan yadi wani.
24 The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’
Ki cicibiadiga ya ñani o nilo niinni, ki yen gedi ki ban ya gaandi ya fuali n ki pia ñima nni, ki lingi mi fuodima. O yaa la ki baa yedi: 'N baa lebidi ki guani n dieli po min den ñani naani.'
25 When he teshuvah ·completely returns·, he finds it swept and put in order.
O ya pundi o baa sua ke li pidi ki ŋanbi.
26 Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
Lanwani o baa gedi ki ban taa cicibiamu lele yaamu n bia ki cie kani ki ba, mun yegi ki ban kua li niinni ki ya ye. Laa nilo yeyuankaama baa bia ki cie mi kpiama.”
27 It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”
Jesu n den maadi yeni ya yogunu, o pua den kpaani ku niligu siiga ki yedi o: “Li pamanli ye leni ya pua n mali a leni ya biina n ŋaani a kuli.”
28 But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear ha D'var Elohim · the Word of God·, and keep it.”
Jesu den goa ki yedi o: “Li pamanli ye leni yaaba n cengi U Tienu maama ki kubi ma ki cie.”
29 When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah [Dove], the prophet.
A nigola n den taani boncianla ki ŋabi ki mabindi Jesu, o den yedi: “Moala na niba tie nibiadiba. Bi miadi ya bancianma n tie sinankeene, ama bi kan tieni bipo sinankeentoa li yaa tie Jonasa yua yaaka.
30 For even as Jonah [Dove] became a sign to the Ninevites, so will also the Son of Man be to this generation.
Nani Jonasa n den tie sinankeeni Ninife dogu yaaba po maama, o Joa Bijua moko baa tua sinankeeni moala niba po yeni.
31 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon [Peaceable, Recompense]; and behold, one greater than Solomon [Peaceable, Recompense] is here.
Ya diema n ye niganu po pobado baa taani ki sedi leni moana niba ti buudi daali, ki bu ki cuo ba, kelima o den ñani ŋali ŋali foagima, ki cua ki cengi Salimono yanfuomaama, ama moamoani yaala n cie Salimono ye ne.
32 The men of Nineveh [Offspring’s Habitation] will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it: for they made teshuvah ·complete repentance· at the preaching of Jonah [Dove], and behold, one greater than Jonah [Dove] is here.
Ninife dogu yaaba moko baa taani ki fii ki sedi leni moala na niba ti buudi daali ki bu ki cuo ba, kelima Jonasa n den waani ba U Tienu maama, bi den lebidi bi yama. Ama moamoani, yaala n cie Jonasa ye ne.
33 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.
Niloba kan cuoni fidisanga ki kuani ga ya kaanu n wuo, yaaka ki taa li sancianli ki ŋoagini ga. Ama o baa taa ki tuani ga u fidisantuankaanu ke yaaba n kua li dieli nni kuli n ya nua mi yenma.
34 The lamp candle of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
A nunbu tie a gbannandi fidisanga. A nunbu ya ŋani, a gbannandi nni kuli baa yieni boŋanla. Ama a nunbu yaa ŋani, a gbannandi kuli baa ye li biigili nni.
35 Therefore see whether the light that is in you is not darkness.
Lani yaapo ŋan fangi ayuli ki da teni ke ya yenma n ye a niinni n tua biigili.
36 If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp candle with its bright shining gives you light.”
A gbannandi nni kuli ya yieni boŋanla keli biigili ki ye kaanuba kuli nni, ti kuli baa yieni nani ki fidisanga n yen yieni apo ki yenma maama.”
37 Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee [Separated] asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table.
Jesu n den maadi ya yogunu, Falisieni yendo den yini o ke wan kua ki je o deni. O den kua ki kali u saajekaanu kani.
38 When the Pharisee [Separated] saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
Falisieni yeni den laa ke waa nidi ki baa je, li den paki o.
39 The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees [Separated] cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
O Diedo den yedi o: “Yinba falisieninba yi yen ŋuudi ki ŋanbi ki tadiñokaaga leni ku saajetadigu kuli puoli po, ama yi tugu nni nan gbie leni yin fenli yaala leni yin tiendi ya biadima.
40 You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
Yinba, bi yanpiidanba yeni, yua n tagi puoli po, wan ka tagi tugu nni mo?
41 But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
Pa mani a luoda yaala n ye yi pala tugu nni, yaala n sieni kuli baa ŋanbi yipo.
42 But woe to you Pharisees [Separated]! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s agape ·unconditional love·. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
Fala baa ye leni yi, yinba Falisieninba, kelima yi coadi ya kpinfaadi n yi menti leni lu, leni kpinfatoadi kuli, ki ñandi dim. Ama yi ŋa mi teginma leni U Tienu ya buama. Li pundi yin ya bi tiendi lani, ki nan da cedi yin maani ki tiendi yaala yeni mo.
43 Woe to you Pharisees [Separated]! For you have agapao ·totally devoted love· towards the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.
Fala baa ye leni yi, yinba Falisieninba, kelima yi bua ki ya kaa yi niciankali-kaani li balimaama bangima diena nni, ki go bua bi niba n yaa fuondi yi ki kpiagidi yi mu daamu nni.
44 Woe to you, Torah-Teachers and Pharisees [Separated], hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
Fala baa ye leni yi kelima yi tie nani ya kula n ki ñi ke bi niba cuoni apo kaa faami.”
45 One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”
Li balimaama bangikacianba siiga yendo den goa ki yedi o: “Canbaa, ŋan maadi maama na a sugidi ti moko.”
46 He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
Jesu den goa ki yedi: “Fala baa ye leni yi moko, yinba li balimaama bangikacianba, kelima yi tundi bi niba a tugikpiaga, ya ke yinba yiba kan tuo ki sii ŋa leni yi nabiyenli.
47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
Fala baa ye leni yi, kelima yi goa ki maa ki ŋanbidi yi yaajanba n den ku ya sawalipuaba ya kula.
48 So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
Yeni yi tiendi seedi ke yi yama dagidi leni yi yaajanba tuona, kelima bani, bi den ku bi sawalipuaba, ke yi mo maa bi kula po li bontiadikaala.
49 Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
Li tie lani yaapo ke wani U Tienu yanfuoma po o maadi Jufinba maama ki yedi ke wani U Tienu n baa soani o kani o sawalipuaba leni o tondiba. Bi baa kpa bine ki faligi bine.
50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
Lanyaapo U Tienu baa tuu moala na nuba bi yaajanba n den ku ya sawalipuaba ki wuli bi soama panli, ki cili leni Abela soama ŋali ŋanduna tagima yogunu,
51 from the blood of Abel [Vanity, Mourning] to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
ki pundi ŋali Sakali ya soama ban kpa yua U Tienu diegu nni, li padibinbinli leni u kaangagiŋamu siiga. Yeni de, n yedi yi ke U Tienu baa tuu moala na niba laa kuuma kuli panli.
52 Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
Fala baa ye leni yi, yinba li balimaama bangikacianba, kelima yi tuudi mi bandima buliñoabu bonluodu. Yii kua yiba yi go yie yaaba n bua ki kua mo yaapo.”
53 As he said these things to them, the Torah-Teachers and the Pharisees [Separated] began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him;
Jesu n den ñani li kani, li balimaama bangikaaba leni Falisienba den tigini o leni mi mapaama ki buali o ya bonla n yaba,
54 lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
ki dia o ku madiagu, ki bua ki ba o ñoabu nni ya maama ke bi baa fidi ki gedini ma li balidanba kani.
