Luke 18
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
Ki fiddi ki waani ki jaandi tie bonmonli, k tin ya jaandi ki da wadi ti pala, jesu pua o ŋɔdikaaba mi maa kpanjama:
2 saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who did not fear God and did not respect man.
O dogu nni den pia buud daano ba, ko k jie U Tienu k gɔ cengi nulo.
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
K li dogu nni gɔ bo pia pakuali pokuuli ba ko tundi ki ŋua'gu k wan kun'o i mɔni o yibali kani.
4 He would not for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
Ti buudi daan'o ne bo ki ceng'o hali k li pan waagi. Ama ko ji te kali ki maal ki sua: “yeni i mɔni k n ki jie U Tienu, k tie lieba mi bua yaali.
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
Li paakuali ne mabi nni boncianli, n bi jia o buudi k wan ŋaa nni mi fuodi.
6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
U Tienu pugini maadi: cengi mani, o buudi daano, faagu daano ne, n maadi yaali.
7 Will not God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
Ki li ya tie yeni, i ki bani ku Tienu ba kɔni o bid po, yaabi ko lugdi ba k bi dongi bi niali o po, yienu yen ñiagu, ko kan todi ba?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
Min n maadi ti ko bi kɔn bi po, ya tie ko nulo bija ya te guani, o gɔ bi la li dindanli i tinga ne po.
9 He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
O gɔ den pua ya maa kpanjam ne ke li nua yaab n yi bi ba nimɔma, ki nan ji nundi bi lieba:
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
Nib lie bo gedi o jandiegu nni ki bi jaandi: yendi bo tie farisien ko lielo tie lonpo gaalo.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
Farisien bo se ki jaandi o pali nni: U Tienu, n tiend'a balgi yen min ki kpiini, k k pua faagu, k k conmi nani nlieba yeni, nan o lonpo gaalo ne yeni.
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
N co u ñɔbu taalm lie dana lele siigin ni, n tien taal piiga po mu ŋalimanu talgi nba.
13 But the tax collector, standing far away, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
O lonpo gaalo ne wani bo se fagma ki taabi, k kan tuo ki yaadi ba o yuli tapoli po. Ama, o bo fabini o pali ni ke maadi: n Tienu diidi yen mi nuñima kelima n tie biidi daano
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
N maadi, U Tienu tuo ki gaali o lonpo daano ki cie farisien. Kelima, yua dongi o ba, bi bu jiin'o, yua jiindi o ba, bi baa dongi wani.
15 They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
B niba bo baadi yeni bi bidi jesu kani, k wan yadi mi yediŋanma bi po. Ama ko ŋɔdikaabi bieli ba.
16 Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
K jesu yinba ki maadi ba: yin cedi mani ban cua n kani, da bieli'b mani, kelima yaabi n yeni U Tienu deni tie nani ban yeni.
17 Most certainly, I tell you, whoever does not receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
I mɔni po n maadi: yua k ga u Tienu diema nani i biga ne yeni, o kan bangi kua U Tienu diema nni.
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit consummate (aiōnios g166) life?"
Yeni k Kpaagl ba tieni i buali: ... canbaa mɔn, mi baa tieni ledi k la ya miali ki pia gbema? (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
K jesu ŋmiani o: be cedi ka yin nni canbaa mɔn nni? Nul ki mɔni li ya ki U Tienu baba yaa ka.
20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
A bani U Tienu ñɔmaama: a kan conmi, a kan kpa nulo, akan su, ŋan cedi janmi buudi, ki cɔnlini a náa yeni a baà.
21 He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
Ki li ja ŋmiani: n cɔnlini lio kuli k da tie biga.
22 When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
Yeni jesu maadi: a gɔ da sieni bonyenli: kuadi ŋan pia yaali kuli, k tugi li ligi kuli ki bɔgdi talgi nba, li puoli po ŋan ya ŋuan nni.
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
Wan gbadi yeni ko pali kuli wadi kelima li ja bo tie ŋaliman daani
24 Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
Jesu den la ko pali wadi ko maadi: li pa boncianli yen ŋalman daano n kua U Tienu diema nni
25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
li ki pa ku yuoyuogu n kua kpalipimu bonli, k cie yen ŋalma daano n kua U Tienu diema n
26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
Ki bi niba yen kuli taani ki buali: ŋmaa nan b la li maa kan gbedigu?
27 But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
K jesu ŋmian o: yaali n pa bi niba po, k pa U Tienu po
28 Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
Yeni k Pieri buali: k tinba i? ti ŋa tin pia yaali kuli k ŋua ŋa
29 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
K jesu maadi ba: ... i mɔn po n maadi ki yua ŋa o deni, o pua, o ninjaba, o bidi, o naataani kuli k dugni U Tienu diema po.
31 He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
Jesu bo tugi o ŋɔdikaaba piig n bonbilie k piadi yenba ki maadi ba: diidi mani, t do Serusalem n yen, ko Tienu tondi n bo dian yaali o nulo bijua po kuli ji bu tieni.
32 For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
Bi bu cuogu ki mubin'o yaabi ki bani U Tienu nuguni, ban laagu, k sugd'o, k sii ti ñɔsɔndi o po.
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
Bi ba puagu, ki kpaagu. Dana ta daali o bu yiedi
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
O ŋɔdkaaba bo ki gbadi li maama niima nni, kelima li pa bi po yen ban gbadi li maama. Bi ji bo ki bani jesu n bua maadi yaali li po
35 As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
Jesu n bo nagi seriko, o juamo bo kaa o sankuni ki miadi.
36 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
Wan gbadi li ñɔgli o sanu po, ko buali yaali tieni.
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
Ki bi ŋmian'o ki jesu n pedi.
38 He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
Yeni ko cili ki yigni yeni o paalu: ... jesu, Dafiid bijua, diidn yen nunbaagu.
39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
Yaabi bo ye liiga bo maad'o, k wan suoni, ama ko ŋanbi k yigni: Dafiid bijua diidn yen nunbaagu.
40 Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
Ki jesu cedi k bi ba yen'o o kani, wan pundi ya yogunu, ki jesu bual'o:
41 “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
A bua k min tieni be k ten'a i? ko juamo ŋmian'o: n diedo, cedi ki mi nuali.
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
A bu fidi ki nuali, kelima a dindanli paag'a.
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
L yogunu ko nuali, ki ji ŋua jesu ki dondi U Tienu. Ban la yaali n tieni ne, ko nuwuligu kuli mɔ ji dondi U Tienu.
