Luke 7
1 When Jesus had brought to a conclusion all that he had then had to say to the people, he entered Capernaum.
Jesu n den maadi ya niba n maadi opo ya maama n tie na kuli ki gbeni, o den kua Kapenayuma dogu nni.
2 A centurion in the Roman army had a slave whom he valued, and who was seriously ill – almost at the point of death.
Mintela kobiga yudaano yendo den ye ki pia o naacemo ke o tie opo numoano, ke o yia ŋali ki bua ki kpe.
3 And, hearing about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, with the request that he would come and save his slave’s life.
O yudaano yeni n den gbadi ke bi maadi Jesu maama, o den soani Jufinba nukpeliba bi tianba o kani ke ban mia o wan cua ki faabi o naacemo.
4 When they found Jesus, they earnestly implored him to do so. “He deserves the favor from you,” they said,
Bi den pundi Jesu kani ki mia o ki moandi wan da yie ki yedi: “O joa yeni pundi ŋan ŋanbi opo,
5 “For he is devoted to our nation, and himself built our synagogue for us.”
kelima o bua ti buolu. Wani n maa tipo li balimaama bangima dieli.”
6 So Jesus went with them. But, when he was no great distance from the house, the centurion sent some friends with the message – “Do not trouble yourself, Sir; for I am unworthy to receive you under my roof.
Jesu den yegi leni ba ki caa. Wan den kuli a minteela yudaano diegu, o den tuogi wan den soani o danlinba yaaba o kani ke ban yedi o: “N daano, da coagi a yuli, mii pundi ŋan kua n dieli nni.
7 That was why I did not even venture to come to you myself; but speak, and let my manservant be cured.
Lanyaapo moko n teni ke mii sua ke li pundi min cua a kani mini nba. Maadi a maama bebe, n naacemo baa paagi.
8 For I myself am a man under the orders of others, with soldiers under me; and if I say to one of them ‘Go,’ he goes, and to another ‘Come,’ he comes, and to my slave ‘Do this,’ he does it.”
Mini yua ke nitoaba die nni, n moko pia min die ya minteela. n yen yedi one: 'Gedi,' wan gedi, ki yedi o yua mo: 'Cua na,' wan cua. N yen yedi n naacemo: 'Tieni line,' wan tieni.”
9 Jesus was surprised to hear these words from him; and, turning to the crowd which was following him, he said, “I tell you, nowhere in Israel have I met with such faith as this!”
Jesu n den gbadi laa maama, li den tie opo bonlidinkaala, de ki mangi o. O den jigidi ki yedi ya niligu n ŋua o: “N waani yi ke baa Isalele yaaba siiga, n daa laa ya dandancianli n yene buolu.”
10 And, when the messengers returned to the house, they found the slave recovered.
Wan den soani yaaba n den lebidi ki pundi denpo, bi den sua ke ya naacemo n bi yia yeni pia laafia.
11 Shortly after, Jesus went to a town called Nain, his disciples and a great crowd going with him.
Lani n pendi Jesu den gedi Nayina dogu. O ŋoadikaaba leni nigocianli den yegi leni o.
12 Just as he approached the gate of the town, there was a dead man being carried out for burial – an only son, and his mother was a widow. A large number of the people of the town were with her.
Jesu n den nagini u dogu bilinciamu buliñoajabu, o den tuogi yaaba n ñani lienni ki tugi o kpiemo ki baan piini. Yua n kpe yeni den tie o naa tugu nni bonjayenyenga, ke o naa mo tie kpepuoli. U dogu yaaba boncianla den yegi leni o.
13 When he saw her, the Master was moved with compassion for her, and he said to her, “Do not weep.”
O Diedo n den laa o, mi niŋima den cuo o opo ke o yedi: “Da buudi.”
14 Then he went up and touched the bier, and the bearers stopped; and Jesus said, “Young man, I am speaking to you – Rise!”
O den nagini ki sii ku tinkpikpagu. Yaaba n tugi den sedi. O den yedi: “O jawaalo na, n yedi a: 'Fii.'”
15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus restored him to his mother.
Lani yua kpe yeni den fii ki kali ki maadi. Jesu den teni o o naa.
16 Everyone was awe-struck and began praising God. “A great prophet has arisen among us,” they said. “God has visited his people.”
Li fangicianli den cuo laa niba kuli, bi den kpiagidi U Tienu ki tua: “O sawalipuaciamo fii ti siiga. U Tienu goandi o nibuolu.”
17 And this story about Jesus spread all through Judea, and in the neighboring countries as well.
Jesu n den tieni yaala yeni kuli ya maama den yadi Jude nni leni ya tinmu n lindi kuli.
18 All these events were reported to John by his disciples.
Jan ŋoadikaaba den togidi o laa bonla kuli.
19 So he summoned two of them, and sent them to the Master to ask – “Are you ‘the coming one,’ or are we to look for someone else?”
O den yini bi siiga ŋoadikaaba lie ki soani ba Jesu kani, ke ban yedi o: “Naani a tie yua n den baa cua bi, bi ti da go baa guudi nitoa yo?”
20 When these men found Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask – Are you ‘the coming one,’ or are we to look for somebody else?”
Bi jaba yeni n den pundi Jesu kani bi den yedi o: “Jan Batisi n soani ti a kani ke tin buali a fini n ya tie tin gu yua ya cuama bi, bi ke ti da go ya baa daani nitoa yo?”
21 At that very time Jesus had cured many people of diseases, afflictions, and wicked spirits, and had given many blind people their sight.
Lanyogunu Jesu den paagi a yiama leni a tadima leni mu cicibiadimu n die yaaba kuli boncianla, ki go noadi a juama moko boncianla.
22 So his answer to the question was, “Go and report to John what you have witnessed and heard – the blind recover their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, the good news is told to the poor.
O den goa ki yedi Jan tondiba: “Guani mani ki ban togidi Jan yin gba ki go nua yaala: A juama noadi, a waba cuoni, a gbaada ŋanbidi, a woma gba, bi tinkpiba fiidi a luoda mo gba o laabaaliŋamo.
23 And blessed is the person who finds no hindrance in me.”
Li pamanli ye leni min kaa tie yua yaapo tingbali bonla.”
24 When John’s messengers had left, Jesus, speaking to the crowds, began to say with reference to John,
Jan tondiba n den ñani Jesu kani ya yogunu, o den maadi ku niligu Jan maama ki yedi: “Yi den gedi mi fanpienma po ki ban laa be? Yua n tie nani u faalu n liebi ya ñinmuagu bi?
25 “What did you go out into the wilderness to look at? A reed waving in the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in rich clothing? Why, those who are accustomed to fine clothes and luxury live in royal palaces.
To, yi nan den gedi ki ban laa be? Yua n bobi ti tiaŋandi bi? Diidi ki le mani yaaba n yie ti tiaŋandi wani ye bi badicianba diedi nni.
26 What then did you go to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.
Yi nan den li gedi ki baa le be? O sawalipualo bi? Yeni de, ama n waani yi ke yin ban laa yua cie ba sawalipualo.
27 This is the man of whom scripture says – ‘I am sending my messenger ahead of you, and he will prepare your way before you.’
Wani yaapo yo ke li diani ki yedi: 'Diidi, n soani n tondo a liiga, ke wan ŋanbi a sanu.'
28 There is, I tell you, no one born of a woman who is greater than John; and yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
N go yedi yi ke pua n mali yua kuli, yua n cie Jan ki ye. Ama yua n wa ki cie bi kuli U Tienu diema nni, wani n yaba ki cie o.
29 (All the people, when they heard this, and even the tax collectors, having accepted John’s baptism, acknowledged the justice of God.
Ya niba n den cengi o kuli leni bi lubigaaba kuli den saa U Tienu po moamoani ki cedi ke Jan batisi ba.
30 But the Pharisees and the students of the Law, having rejected John’s baptism, frustrated God’s purpose in regard to them.)
Ama Falisieninba leni li balimaama bangikaaba n den yie ke Jan kan batisi ba yeni, bi den yie U Tienu n den jagi ki bili bipo yaala.”
31 “To what then,” Jesus continued, “should I compare the people of the present generation? What are they like?
Jesu den pugini ki yedi: “N baa nandi moala na nuba leni be? Bi naani leni be?
32 They are like some little children who are sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another – ‘We have played the flute for you, but you have not danced; We have wailed, but you have not wept!’
Bi naani leni ya bila n ka ki daaga nni ki yi bi yaba ki tua: 'Ti piebi yipo mu yelimu, ke yii jeli ki ciaga. Ti yiini yipo i kuyani, yi naa buudi.'
33 For now that John the Baptist has come, not eating bread or drinking wine, you are saying ‘He has a demon in him’;
Kelima Jan Batisi cua, waa di jiema, waa ñu duven mo, ke yi tua: 'O pia ki cicibiadiga.'
34 and now that the Son of Man has come, eating and drinking, you are saying ‘Here is a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax collectors and outcasts.’
O Joa Bijua mo cua ki di ki go ñu ke yi tua: 'Diidi ki le, O tie jiejiedo leni dañolo, ki ti bi lubigaaba leni i tagibiadi danba kuli ya danli.'
35 And yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
Yaaba n tuo U Tienu yanfuoma kuli saa i moamoani ke mi tiegi.”
36 One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to dine with him, so Jesus went to his house and took his place at the table.
Falisieninba siiga yendo den yini Jesu wan je leni o. Jesu den kua o diegu nni ki kali u saajekaanu kani.
37 Just then a woman, who was an outcast in the town, having heard that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of perfume,
O pua den ye u dogu nni ke o tagu bia. Wan den bandi ke Jesu ye Falisieni yeni deni ki di, o den taa ya tanli n yi alibati ya buteliga ke gbie leni tulale,
38 and placed herself behind Jesus, near his feet, weeping. Then she began to make his feet wet with her tears, and she dried them with the hair of her head, repeatedly kissing his feet and anointing them with the perfume.
ki cua ki sedi Jesu puoli po o taana kani ke o kpaagi li bonkalikaala po. O pua yeni den buudi ke o ninsiidi cuudi ki soangi Jesu taana ke o duuni a leni o yudi ki waliti a ki suogi a tulale.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “Had this man been ‘the prophet,’ he would have known who, and what sort of woman, this is who is touching him, and that she is an outcast.”
Ya falisieni n den yini Jesu n den laa lani, o den yedi o yama nni: “One ya bi tie sawalipualo moamoani o bi baa bandi ya pua n sii o na n tie yua, leni o tagu n tie maama, ke o tie tagibiadu daano.”
40 But, addressing him, Jesus said, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” “Pray do so, teacher,” Simon answered; and Jesus began,
Lani Jesu den yedi Falisieni yeni: “Simono, n pia mi maama ki baa maadi a,” Simono den goa ki yedi o: “Canbaa, maadi.”
41 “There were two people who were in debt to a moneylender; one owed five hundred silver coins, and the other fifty.
Jesu den yedi o: “O pandinlo den ye ki pia pandanba lie. One den kubi opo kujapiena kobi muu, o lielo mo kujapiena piimuu.
42 As they were unable to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them, do you think, will love him the more?”
Ban kaa den pia liba ki baa pa, o den cabi bani niba lie yeni kuli bi pana. Bani niba lie yeni siiga, ŋme baa bua o ki cie o yua?”
43 “I suppose,” answered Simon, “it will be the man to whom he forgave the greater debt.” “You are right,” said Jesus,
Simono den goa ki yedi o: “N tama wan cabi yua ke o panli yaba ki cie yene.” Jesu den yedi o: “A saa i moamoani.”
44 and then, turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house – you gave me no water for my feet, but she has made my feet wet with her tears and dried them with her hair.
Lani o den gbegi ki diidi o pua yeni ki go yedi Simono: “A laa o pua na? Min kua a dieli nni, ŋaa puni nni ñima ke n nigidi n taana, ama wani, o nigidi n taana leni o ninsiidi ki go duuni a leni o yudi.
45 You did not give me one kiss, but she, from the moment I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
Haa gobini nni leni mi buama, ama wani, ŋali min kua, o li waliti n taana yo, waa cedi.
46 You did not anoint even my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfume.
Haa wuli n yuli po kpama, ama wani, o suogi n taana leni tulale yua ya dunga n pa.
47 So I tell you, her great love shows that her sins, many as they are, have been pardoned. One who is pardoned little loves little.”
Lanyaapo n yedi a ke wan bua nni boncianla yeni doagidi ke o baa sugili o tuonbiadi yaadi n yaba po. Yua n baa sugili ya tuonbiadi n wa po mo bua waamu bebe.”
48 Then he said to the woman, “Your sins have been pardoned.”
O den yedi o pua mo: “A baa a tuonbiadi sugili.”
49 The other guests began to say to one another, “Who is this man who even pardons sins?”
Yaaba n den taani ki di leni o den maliti bi pala nni: “One tie ŋme ki puuni sugili ti tuonbiadi po?”
50 But Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has delivered you; go, and peace be with you.”
Jesu go den yedi o pua yeni: “A dandanli faabi a, fii ki ya caa leni mi yanduanma.”
