< Luke 12 >

1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they stepped one on another, he began to say to his disciples first of all, Beware you of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Ya yogu ke ku niwulgu den taani ki pundi a tuda, ke bi niba ji ŋmaadi bi lieba, ke o cili ki dá maadi leni o ŋɔdkaaba, “Fangi mani i yuli leni farisienba nɔbli, bani yaaba n pia mi muyima.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
Ama bonlibá ki ye ki duagi, ki kan dɔgdi, bonli ki ye ki wuo, ke bi kan bandi.
3 Therefore whatever you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which you have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed on the housetops.
Lanwani i, yin maadi yaali li biigli nni, bi ba gbadi li mi yenyenma nni, ke yin sɔbi ki maadi yaali li dieli nni, ke a gana luo, bi ba kpaandi la li dieli binbinli po.
4 And I say to you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
N dɔnlinba, n yedi yi, da jie mani yaaba n ba kpa ti gbannandi, ki ji kan fidi ki tieni libá kuli ki pugni.
5 But I will forewarn you whom you shall fear: Fear him, which after he has killed has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
Ama, n ba tuodi ki waani yi yin ba ya jie yua. Yin jie yua kpa, ki go pia ya paalu n ba lu ŋa ku mubuogu nni. Nn, n maadi yi, jie mani o. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
bi ki kuadi nuanmu mu mu ka kuumu lie e? Leni lani kuli, U Tienu nunga nni, bi kan sundi mu siiga nni bá yenga po.
7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows.
Ama yinba wani, bá i yudi, bi cɔdi ki bani ti dugli. Da jie mani pu, i pia muyuli ki cie ya nuankuli n yabi.
8 Also I say to you, Whoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
N yedi yi, ya nilo kuli n tuo ke o bani nni, bi niba siiga, o 'Ja Bijua' mo ba tuo ke n bani o U Tienu malekinba kani.
9 But he that denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
Ama yua nia bi niba siiga ke waa tie n yua, bi ba sundi o po U Tienu malekinba kani.
10 And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that blasphemes against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
Yua n maadi mabiadma o 'Ja Bijua' po, ba baa sugli, ama yua n maadi ki sugi U Tienu Foŋanma, o kan baa sugli.
11 And when they bring you to the synagogues, and to magistrates, and powers, take you no thought how or what thing you shall answer, or what you shall say:
Bi ya dia yi, ki caa leni yi ti jaandiedi nni, ti buudi danba kani leni yikodanba kani ti buudi po, yin da yagi i yama leni yin ba maadi yaala ki fie i yuli, bii yin ba yedi yaala.
12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what you ought to say.
Kelima lanyognu liga, U Tienu Foŋanma ba tundi yin ba yedi yaala.
13 And one of the company said to him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
Ke niyendo yedi o ku niwulgu siiga “Canbaa, maadi n kpelo wan bɔgdi ti báa ń sieni ti ya faali, ki teni nni.
14 And he said to him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
Jesu ń yedi o, “O ja, ŋma n kaani nni ke min ya tie i buudidaano bii i ke min tua i kɔnpaadilo li faali bɔgdima po?
15 And he said to them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.
Ki yedi ba, “Fangi mani yibá lini mi ŋalmanbuacianma, kelima nilo miali ki ŋua o ŋalmani yabmu ka.
16 And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
Lani ke Jesu pua ba ya kpanjama ne, “Piado bá den koni ki baa boncianla,
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
ke o kali, ki jagi, ki yedi o pali nni, “N ji ba tieni ledi i, kelima mii ji pia kaanu ki ba bili n kpaandi ne kuli?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
ki yedi, “Min ba tieni maama n ne. N ba mumudi n bunbuana, ki guani ki ma yia n tiani, ki bili lien nni n bondikaali leni n bonpiakaali kuli.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have much goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
Lani, n ji ba pagi n yuli “Mini, min bili ya piama kandi, ki ba tuoni nni ya bina n yabi. Ya kaa, ki fuo, ki di, ki ñu, ki mangdi a pali.
20 But God said to him, You fool, this night your soul shall be required of you: then whose shall those things be, which you have provided?
Ama, ke U Tienu yedi o “O yanluodaano ne, dinne ñiagu liga i, ke n ba ñani a naano, ki ŋa a. ŋan bili yaali kuli ba tua ŋma ya yaali i?
21 So is he that lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
Li tie nani yua n taagi mi piama o yuli po, ki nan ki pia pu U Tienu kani.”
22 And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat; neither for the body, what you shall put on.
Jesu yedi o ŋɔdkaaba, “lanwani i, yin da buali i miali po, yin ba di yaali bii, i gbanu po, li bonlakaali po
23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
Kelima, li miali gie ti jiedi, ke u gbanu mo cie ti tialakaadi.
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them: how much more are you better than the fowls?
Diidi mani a bonyugda, baa buu, baa yendi, baa pia bilkaanu, baa pia bɔnbuana, ama U Tienu nan dingi a. yinba, i pia mayuli ki cie ti bonyugditi!
25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
I siiga, ŋma ba fidi ki fagni o miali bá a dana waamu?
26 If you then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take you thought for the rest?
I ya ya bani ke i kan fidi ki tieni yaali n waa ki cie ne, be ya po i ke i maali yaali n sieni kuli po o?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say to you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Diidi mani ti puudi ń tie maama, tii tuuni, tii pia gaalu mo, ama bá o badciamo Salomɔn leni o kpiagdi, waa pundi bi siiga bá yengu ń bobi maama.
28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
U Tienu ya bobindi u kuanu nni muadi yeni, tini yaadi ye dinne ke bi ba faa ki taa ti, ki kuuni u fanu nni, ki cuoni umu, li ki pia tama ke o ba bobni yi mo, oo yinba yaaba ya dudugdi n ki pia fuoma!
29 And seek not you what you shall eat, or what you shall drink, neither be you of doubtful mind.
Da buali mani yin ba di yaali leni yin ba ñu yaali po, ki go da yagni i yama.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knows that you have need of these things.
Kelima ŋanduna dogi kuli lingi lanya bona i, ke i Báa moko bani ke i bua li bona.
31 But rather seek you the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added to you.
Ama yin lingi mani o diema, i ba baa lanya bona ki pugni
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Da jie mani ba waamu, kelima i Báa pali mani ke wan puni yi o diema.
33 Sell that you have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails not, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts.
Kuadi mani i piama, ki puni a luoda li ligi. ŋali mani i po ya ligbɔgli n kan cadi, ŋaljanli nni ya ŋalmani yaali n ki pia gbenma.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Kelima a ŋalmani ń ye naani, a pali mo ye lankani i.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
N̄agni mani i liadfagda u gbanñagdu, i fidsanmu ń ya tundi ki co;
36 And you yourselves like to men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.
Yin ya tie nani ya niba n guu bi canbáa ń ba ña mi pocaajaama po, ki kpeni yeni, o ya pua li ganli ya yognu, ban kagni ki luodi o po.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he comes shall find watching: truly I say to you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
Ya tuonsɔnba, ke bi canbáa ba pundi ki sua ke bi dá nua, bani baa mi yedŋanma n yeni. I mɔmɔni, n maadi yi, o ba ñagni o gaaligu u gbanñagdu, ki cedi ban kali u jedikaanu, wan tieni ba mi jiema ban je.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
Canbàa ya pundi yɔgsiigu bii siŋaafaani, ki sua ke bi cegni ki guu o, lan ya tuonsɔnba baa mi yedŋanma n yeni.
39 And this know, that if the manager of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
Ama, min ba pugni yaali n ne, yin ya bani ke o diedaano ya bi bani ya yognu ke o suuro ba kua o deni ki suu o, o bi kan ŋa ban kua o deni ki su o,
40 Be you therefore ready also: for the Son of man comes at an hour when you think not.
Yin egni iba, ki ya guu kelimaa i ki baniO Ja bijua n ́ ba guaniya yognu.
41 Then Peter said to him, Lord, speak you this parable to us, or even to all?
Pieri ń buali: «O Diedo, a pua lan ya kpanjama tinba baba ya po bii, li tie yuakuli ya po i?»
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
O Diedo ń yedi: «O laa tuonsɔnlo i, ke o canbáa ba guuni ke wan ya diidi o tuonsɔnlieba tuona, ki puuni ba bi daali jiema lan buali ya yognu,
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.
o canbáa ya kpeni ki sua ke o tuuni lan buali maama, lanya tuonsɔnlo baa mi yedŋanma n yeni.
44 Of a truth I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
I mɔmɔni n maadi yi, canbáa ba taa o piama kuli ki piani lanya tonsɔnlo.
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delays his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
Ama li tuonsɔnlo ya maadi o pali nni: «N canbáa kpenma dá ba fagdi», ki ji cili ki pua o tuonsɔnlieba, bi jaba yeni bi puoba kuli, ki go cili ki di ki go ñu wan bua maama, ke mi daama ga o.
46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looks not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
O ya tie yeni, o canbáa ba ti ludi ki kpeni wan ki guu o ya yognu, ki cedi ban pua ki duoli o kaani kuli, ki beli ki ñani o, ki kuani o bi tuonsɔbiadba danba siiga nni.
47 And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
Nani li tuosɔnlo ń den bani o canbáa ń bili o ya tuonli yeni i, ki nan ki sɔni lan buali maama yeni i, o canbáa ba cedi ban pua o ya lanbana n yabi.
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
Ama, ya tuonsɔnlo n ki tuodi ki bani, ki sɔni ya tuonli n buali ke lan dadi o tubli ii, bi ba pua o lanbana waaamu. Ban teni yua ke li yabi, bi ba buali o yaali n yabi. Ban piani yua yaali n cie, bi ba buali o yaali n cie.
49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
«N cua ki tinga po ke min sia mu i. N sugni ke li mu ji co i.
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
N pia mi ñinwulma, ke bi ba wuli nni. I ki bani min bua tonma maama, ke li kuli ń tieni ki tii.
51 Suppose you that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, No; but rather division:
I tama ke n cua ki tinga po yeni mi yanduanma yo oo? N n! I mɔmɔni, n maadi yi, n cua yeni mi paadma i.
52 For from now on there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Kelimaa, lan cili mɔlane, dieyengu nni, niba mu ba paadi, niba lie ń kɔni yeni niba taa; niba taa mo ń kɔni yeni niba lie.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Bi ba paadi bibáa ń kɔni yeni o bijaba, a bila mo ń kɔni yeni bibáa. Binaá ba kɔni yeni o bisiaba, a bisala mo ń kɔni yeni binaá. Calnaá ba kɔni yeni o biyuaga, ki biyuaga ń kɔni yeni calnaá.»
54 And he said also to the people, When you see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway you say, There comes a shower; and so it is.
Jesu go den maadi ku niwulgu yaali ne: «I ya la taayinbɔnu puoli, i yi maadi: “Ki taaga ba nii!” Lan go tieni yeni.
55 And when you see the south wind blow, you say, There will be heat; and it comes to pass.
Mi faawaama ya fii nintuali, i yi maadi: “Ku wulgu ba tieni!” Lan go tua yeni.
56 You hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that you do not discern this time?
Yinba i muyiidmu ne! I fidi ki diidi ki tinga maalma yeni tanpoli maalma, ki bandi a bona. Li nan tieni ledi i, ke yi ki fidi ki bandi U tienu n ́ bobindi yaali mɔlane?
57 Yes, and why even of yourselves judge you not what is right?
Li tieni ledi i, ke yi kan fidi ki tuodi ki cegni yaali n tiegi i po mɔlane?
58 When you go with your adversary to the magistrate, as you are in the way, give diligence that you may be delivered from him; lest he hale you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer cast you into prison.
A ya caa ti buudi yeni a yibali, ŋan mɔndi ki mangi yeni o u sanu nni, wan da ti cedi ti buudi yudanba ń buu ki cuo a, ban mubni a bi paatieba nui nni, ban luoni a li kpaadidieli nni.
59 I tell you, you shall not depart there, till you have paid the very last mite.
N maadi a, a kan ña li kpaadidieli nni, kaa pani a pana kuli ki gbeni.»
