Luke 18
1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
Jesu den pua ba mi kpanjama ki baa waani ba ke li pundi wan ya jaandi yogunu kuli ki da cedi bi gbani n wudi.
2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not YHWH, neither regarded man:
O den yedi: “O bujialo den ye u dogu nni kaa jie U Tienu, kaa fangi niloba mo.
3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
Li kpepuoli moko den ye u dogu yeni niinni ki yen kpendi ki miadi o ki tua: 'Han tu npo n koaginkoa n panli.'
4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not Elohim, nor regard man;
O bujialo den waagi ki yiedi. Li ya puoli o den ti maadi o yuli ki yedi: 'Baa ke mii jie U Tienu kaa fangi niloba mo,
5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
li kpepuoli na coagini nni maama na, n baa tuu opo o panli, yeni yaaka, o li baa kpendi ki coagini nne.'”
6 And Yahushua said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
O Diedo den pugini ki yedi: “Yi gbadi o bujiabiado yeni n yedi yaala.
7 And shall not YHWH avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
N buali yi, naani U Tienu kan tuu wan gandi yaaba po bi panli, bani yaaba n kpaani ki miadi o u yensiinu leni ki ñiagu kuli bi? Naani o baa waagi ki kan todi ba?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
N kadi ki waani yi, o baa jaligi ki tuu bipo bi panli. Ama naani o Joa Bijua yaa goa ki cua ŋanduna nni, naani o baa le li dandanli bi?”
9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
Jesu go pua ba mi naa kpanjama kelima bi nitianba yaaba n pagi bi yula ke bi tiega, ki fali yaaba n sieni yaapo.
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
O den yedi: “Niba lie den gedi U Tienu diegu nni ki baa jaandi. O yendo den tie Falisieni, o lielo mo lubigaalo.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, Elohim, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
Falisieni yeni den sedi ki jaandi o pali nni ki yedi: 'U Tienu, n tuondi a kelima mii ta leni ya niba n sieni ki tie sugida, leni bi nibiadiba, leni mi conconma danba, n tuondi a ke mii taa leni ya lubigaalo n tie na moko.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
Dana lele siiga kuli n luo bu ñoabu dana lie. N ñandi n dim n bonbaakaala kuli nni.'
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, Elohim be merciful to me a sinner.
O lubigaalo yeni mo den poadi ki sedi foagima, kaa tuo ki baa yaadi ki noanli tanpoli. O den pua o benli ki yedi: 'U Tienu, gbadi npo mi niŋima, mini yua n tie ti tuonbiadi daano.'”
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Jesu den pugini ki yedi: “N waani yi i moamoani ke wani n den kuni o denpo ke U Tienu saa opo i moamoani ke o tiegi, ama Falisieni yeni wani ki den baa. Kelima yua n fiini o yuli kuli, U Tienu baa jiini o, yua n jiini o yuli mo U Tienu baa fiini o.”
15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Bi niba den kpendi nni a canpanda Jesu kani ke wan sii ba. O ŋoadikaaba n den laa lani bi den fu leni yaaba n kpendi nni ba.
16 But Yahushua called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of YHWH.
Ama Jesu den teni ke bi cuani ba ki yedi: “Cedi mani a biwaala n cua n kani ki da deli ba, kelima U Tienu diema tie yaaba n tie nani a biwaala yene po.
17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of YHWH as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
N waani yi i moamoani ke yua n kaa tuo U Tienu diema nani ki biwaaga yeni kan kua lienni.”
18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
Jufinba yudaano yendo den buali Jesu ki yedi o: “O canbaanŋamo, n baa tieni be ki baa ya miali n kan gbeni?” (aiōnios g166)
19 And Yahushua said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, YHWH.
Jesu den goa ki yedi o: “Be yaapo ke a yini nni niŋama? U Tienu bebe yaaka oba kuli ki ŋani.
20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
A bani li balimaama n bili yaala: Han da conbi, ŋan da kpa nilo, ŋan da su, ŋan da tieni mi siedi-faama, ŋan jigini a baa leni a naa.'”
21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
O joa yeni den goa ki yedi: “N kubi lankuli ŋali n biwaama nni.”
22 Now when Yahushua heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
Jesu n den gbadi lani o den yedi o: “Bonyenla n da go poadi a po. Han kuadi ŋan pia yaala ki boagidi a luoda li ligi, lane a baa pia ŋalimani tanpoli po. Lani ŋan cua ki ŋoadi nni.”
23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
O joa n den gbadi laa maama, o pali den biidi kelima o piama den yaba.
24 And when Yahushua saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of YHWH!
Jesu den laa ke o pali biidi ki yedi: “Li pa ŋali boncianla a piada n baa ki kua U Tienu diema nni.
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of YHWH.
Ku yuoyuogu n tagini mi kpalipienbonma nni dingi ki cie o piado n kua U Tienu diema nni.”
26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
Yaaba n den cengi o maama yeni den yedi: “Li ya tie yeni, ŋme nan baa fidi ki tindi?”
27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with YHWH.
O den goa ki yedi: “Bi nisaaliba n kan fidi yaala U Tienu wani baa fidi la.”
28 Then Kepha said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
Lani, Pieli den yedi o: “Diidi ki le, tinba ti den fii ki ŋa tin pia yaala kuli ki ŋua ŋa.”
29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of YHWH 's sake,
Jesu den yedi ba: “N waani yi i moamoani ke laa pia ya nilo n fii ki ŋa o dieli, yaaka o pua, yaaka o kpiiba, yaaka o danba, yaaka o bila kelima U Tienu diema po,
31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
Jesu den taa bi piiga n niliediba ki piadi leni ba ki yedi: “Cengi mani ti do ki caa Jelusalema ke bi sawalipuaba n den diani yaala ke li maadi o Joa Bijua maama kuli baan tieni ki dudi.
32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
Bi baa cuo ki teni o bi nilanba. Bi baa ñuadi o, ki faligi o, ki sii opo ti ñinsandi,
33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
ki pua o i baliji ki yuandi ki kpa o. Ama li dataali daali o baa fii bi tinkpiba siiga.”
34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
Bi ŋoadikaaba ki den ga liba kuli laa maama nni. O maama yeni den boani ba. Baa den ga Jesu n maadi yaala n bua ki yedi yaala.
35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
Jesu n den nagini Jeliko, li sua ke o juamo ka u sankunu ki miadi.
36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
O den gbadi ke ku niligu pendi ke o den buali lan tie yaala.
37 And they told him, that Yahushua of Nazareth passeth by.
Bi den waani o ke Nasaleti yua Jesu n tagini ki baa pendi.
38 And he cried, saying, Yahushua, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
O den kpaani: “Jesu, Dafidi Bijua, gbadi npo mi niŋima.”
39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
Yaaba n den cuoni Jesu liiga den funi leni o ke wan suo, ama o go den kpaani ki pugidi ki tua: “Dafidi Bijua, gbadi npo mi niŋima.”
40 And Yahushua stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
Jesu den sedi ki yedi ban cuani o o kani. O juamo n den nagini, Jesu den buali o ki yedi:
41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Rabbi, that I may receive my sight.
“A bua min tieni apo be?” O den goa ki yedi: “N daano, n bua ŋan teni min go ya nua.”
42 And Yahushua said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
Jesu den yedi o: “A nuni n go ya nua, a dandanli paagi a.”
43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying YHWH: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto Elohim.
Lanyogunu o nuni go den noadi, ke o ŋoadi Jesu ki pagi U Tienu.
