Luke 12
1 Amongst which things, when the ten thousands of the multitude were gathered together, so that they were treading one upon another, he began to be saying, unto his disciples, first—Be keeping yourselves free from the leaven of the Pharisees, the which is, hypocrisy.
Laa yogunu ku niligu den taani tuda tuda ŋali ki ŋmaadi bi yaba. Jesu den cili ki maadi leni o ŋoadikaaba ki yedi: “Fangi mani yi yula ki da kubi falisieninba dabinli, lani n tie palalie yantiali.
2 But, nothing, hath been, covered up, which shall not be uncovered, and hidden, which shall not be made known.
Liba kuli ki ye ki wuo ki kan wuodi. Liba kuli ki ye ki duagi ke bi kan bandi la.
3 Because, as many things as, in the darkness, ye have said, in the light, shall be heard; and, what to the ear ye spake, in the chambers, shall be proclaimed on the housetops.
Lanyaapo yin baa yedi yaala li biigili nni kuli, bi baa gbadi la u yensiinu. Yin baa soabidi yaala yi diena nni, bi baa kpaani la bi niba kuli n gbadi.
4 And I say unto you, my friends—Do not be put in fear of them who kill the body, and, after these things, have nothing more uncommon which they can do.
Yinba n danlinba, n yedi yi, yin da jie mani yaala n baa kpa yi gbannandi ki nan kan fidi ki tieni yi bontoala.
5 But I will suggest to you, whom ye should fear—Fear him who, after killing, hath authority to cast into gehenna, —Yea, I say unto you—Him, fear ye. (Geenna g1067)
N baa waani yi yin baa jie yua. Ya jie mani yua n baa fidi ki kpa yi, ki go yuandi ki lu yi ku fantanbuogu nni. Yeni de, n yedi yi ke wani n tie yin baa jie yua. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not, five sparrows, sold for two farthings? and, not one from among them, hath been forgotten before God.
Baa kuadi nuani muu muu kaa kumu lie? Ama baa yeni, U Tienu kan sundi bi siiga nni ba yendo po.
7 But, even the hairs of your head, have all been numbered: Be not afraid: many sparrows, ye excel.
Yinba wani, baa yi yudi, U Tienu bani ti coali n da maama da jie mani pu kuli, yi pia mayuli ki cie i nuani boncianla.
8 And I say unto you—Whosoever shall confess me before men, even the Son of Man, will confess him, before the messengers of God;
N yedi yi ke yua n tuo bi niba nintuali ke o tie n yua kuli, o Joa Bijua moko n baa tuo malekinba nintuali ke o tie n yua.
9 But, he who denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers of God.
Ama yua n nia bi niba nintuali ke waa tie n yua, n moko baa nia o U Tienu malekinba nintuali ke waa tie n yua.
10 And, whosoever shall say a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but, unto him who, against the Holy Spirit, speaketh profanely, it shall not be forgiven.
Yua n maadi o Joa Bijua po yaala n bia baa baa sugili, ama yua n sugi U Tienu Fuoma Yua kan baa sugili.
11 But, whensoever they shall be bringing you in before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how, [or what] ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;
Bi ya gedini li balimaama bangima diena nni, yaaka bi bujiaba kani, yaaka paatietoaba kani, ki baa jia leni yi ti buudi, yin da yagi mani yi yama leni yin baa maadi maama ki baa ga yi yula, leni yin baa yedi yaala kuli po,
12 For, the Holy Spirit, shall teach you, in that very hour, what ye ought to say.
kelima lanyogunu lige U Tienu Fuoma yua baa bangi yi yin baa yedi yaala.”
13 And one from amongst the multitude said unto him—Teacher! bid my brother divide with me the inheritance.
Ku niligu siiga niyendo den yedi Jesu: “Canbaa, waani n kpelo wan boagidi ti baa n ŋa ya faali ki teni nni n biinu.”
14 But, he, said unto him—Man! who hath appointed me a judge or divider over you?
Jesu den goa ki yedi o: “N danli ŋme dini nni li bali min jia yipo yi maama, ki boagidi yi faali?”
15 And he said unto them—Mind and be guarding yourselves from all covetousness; for not, in one’s abundance, doth his life spring out of his possessions.
O go den yedi bi niba kuli: “Fangi mani yi yula bonŋanla leni mi ŋalimanbuama, kelima o nilo miali ki ŋua leni o ŋalimano n yaba maama.”
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying—A certain rich man’s estate, bare well.
Lani Jesu den pua ba mi kpanjama ki yedi: “O piado den ye ke o kuanu loni boncianla.
17 And he began to deliberate within himself, saying—What shall I do? because I have not where I can gather my fruits.
O den kpaagi ki yedi o pali nni: 'N baa tieni lede? Kelima mii pia min baa bili n kpaandi kuli naani.”
18 And he said—This, will I do, —I will pull down my barns, and, greater ones, build, and gather, there, all my wheat and good things;
O den goa ki yedi: 'N bani min baa tieni maama. N baa mumudi n buabuana ki goa ki maa ya n yaba ki cie, ki taani n kpaandi leni n piama kuli ki kuodi lienni.
19 and will say to my soul—Soul! thou hast many good things [lying by for many years: be taking thy rest, eat, drink, ] be making merry!
Lani n baayedi n yuli: A pia mi piama ke li kandi ya bina n yaba po, ya fuo ki di ki go ñu ki mangidi a pali.'
20 But God said unto him—Simple one! on this very night, they are asking, thy soul, from thee; The things, then, which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?
Ama U Tienu den yedi o: O yanluodaano na dinla ya ñiagu liga n baa taa a naano ŋan bili yaala kuli baa tua ŋme ya yaala?”
21 [So, is he that is laying up treasure for himself, and is not rich, towards God.]
Jesu go den yedi: “Li tie yeni leni yua n taagi mi piama o yuceli po, ke o cima ki tie U Tienu po.”
22 And he said unto his disciples—For this cause, I say unto you, —Be not anxious for the life, what ye shall eat, nor yet for [your] body, what ye shall put on;
Li ya puoli jesu den yedi o ŋoadikaaba: Li tie lani yaapo ke n yedi yi, da yagi mani yi yama yi miana yema po, yin baa di yaala, leni yi gbannandi po yin baa yie yaala.
23 For, the life, is more, than the food, and, the body, than, the clothing.
Li miali cie mi jiema, ti gbannandi mo cie ti tiayiekaadi.
24 Consider well the ravens—That they sow nor, neither do they reap, which have neither chamber nor barn, —and, God, feedeth, them! By how much do, ye, excel, the birds?
Diidi mani a kankala, baa coagi, baa yendi, baa pia bilikaanu, baa pia buabuana. Leni lankuli U Tienu dindi ba. Ama yinba, yi pia mayuli boncianla ki cie ti bonyugiditi.
25 And, who from among you, though anxious, can, unto his stature, add a cubit?
Yi siiga ŋme yanyangidi n baa teni wan fidi ki foagidi o miali dana baa waanu?
26 If then, not even the least thing, ye can do, why, concerning the rest, are ye anxious?
Yi ya kan fidi ki tieni ya bonla n wa yeni, be yaapo ke yi bangi yaala n sieni kuli po.
27 Consider well the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you—Not even Solomon, in all his glory, was arrayed like one of these.
Diidi mani mi moapuuma n ye maama, maa tuuni maa pia gaali, baa yeni, n yedi yi ke baa o bado Salomono leni o kpiagi ciandi kuli, waa den pundi mi siiga baa yenma n bobi maana.
28 But, if God thus adorneth, the grass, which is, in a field, to-day, and, to-morrow, into an oven, is cast, how much rather you, O little-of-faith?
U Tienu ya bobindi ya muadi n ye ku muagu nni dinla ke bi baa fa ki taa ti ki cuoni mi fantama u fannu nni, laa pia kuli tama o baa yieni yi mo, yinba yaaba ya dandanli n ki yaba.
29 Ye, therefore, be not seeking what ye shall eat and what ye shall drink, and be not held in suspense;
Da yagini mani yi yama leni yin baa di yaala lingina leni yin baa ñu yaala lingima.
30 For, after all these things, do, the nations of the world, seek, —but, your Father, knoweth that ye need these things.
Kelima ya nibuoli n ki ŋua U Tienu ŋanduna nni kuli n kuandi bi yama laa bonla nni. Yi Baa bani ke laa bonla tie yipo tiladi.
31 Notwithstanding, be seeking his kingdom, —and, these things, shall be added unto you.
Ama yin kpa lingi mani U Tieni diema nni lani laabonla kuli baa pugini yi po.
32 Be not afraid, the dear little flock! for your Father delighteth to give you, the kingdom.
Da jie mani liba, fini ya yankulu n ki yaba, kelima li mani yi Baa wan pa yi mi diema.
33 Sell your possessions, and give alms, make for yourselves purses that wax not old, —treasure unfailing, in the heavens, where, thief, doth not draw near, and, moth, doth not spoil.
Kuadi mani yin pia yaala, ki pa a luoda yin kuadi ki ba ya ligi. Hanbi mani yi yula po tanpoli po ya ligiboagili n kan biidi leni ya ŋalimani n kaa pia gbenma, a sugida n kan nagini naankani, ti lulugidi mo n kan lugi ki bolini naankani.
34 For, where your treasure is, there, will your heart he also.
Kelima yi ŋalimani n ye naankani yi yantiana mo baa ye lankane.
35 Let your loins be girded, and your lamps burning,
Ñagini mani yi ciamu ku gbanñagidigu ki teni yi fidisanmu n ya co.
36 And, ye yourselves, like unto men awaiting their own lord, once he may break up out of the marriage-feast, —that, when he cometh and knocketh, straightway, they may open unto him.
Yeni de, ya tie mani nani ya naacenba n gu bi canbaa n ña mi pocaanjiema po ki kpeni, ke o ya pundi ki yedi: 'luodi mani n po mani, 'ban luodi opo tontoni.
37 Happy those servants, whom the lord, when he cometh, shall find watching! Verily, I say unto you—he will gird himself, and make them recline, and, coming near, will minister unto them.
Li pamanli ye leni ya naacenba ke bi canba kpeni ki sua ke bi nua ki gu o yeni. N yedi yi i moamoani ke o baa ñagini o ciaga, ki teni ban kali u saajekaanu kani, wan teni ba mi jiema.
38 And, if, in the second, or if, in the third, watch, he come and find, thus, happy, are, they!
O ya kpeni o kootonmoa-kpialo, yaaka o kootonmoa-yuamo, ki sua ke bi nua ki gu, li pamanli baa ye leni ba.
39 But, of this, be taking note—Had the householder known, in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not suffered his house, to be digged through.
Yin bandi bonŋanla ke o diedaano ya bi bani o sugido n baa cua ya yogunu, o bi baa gu ki kan cedi o sugido n lugidi o dieli ki kua.
40 Ye, therefore, be getting ready, because, in what hour ye are not thinking, The Son of Man cometh!
Yi moko n bogini ki ya gu kelima o Joa Bijua baa cua yin ki daani o ya yogunu.”
41 But Peter said—Lord! unto us, this parable, speakest thou? or, even unto all?
Pieli den yedi o: “N daano, a pua mi naa kpanjama tinba bebe po bi? Bi niba kuli po?”
42 And the Lord said—Who then is the faithful steward, the prudent one, whom the lord will appoint over his body of attendants, to be giving, in due season, the measured allowance of wheat?
O diedo den yedi: “Hme n tie ya tuonsoanjiidi-dugikoa n pia mi yanfuoma, ke o canbaa guuni o o niba ke wan ya tendi ba ya jiema n bili bipo?
43 Happy, that servant, whom the lord, when he cometh shall find doing, thus!
Li pamanli baa ye leni laa naacemo o canbaa ya kpeni ki sua ke o tiendi yeni.
44 Of a truth, I say unto you—Over all his possessions, will he appoint him.
N waani yi i moamoani, o canbaa baa guuni o piama kuli.
45 But, if that servant should say in his heart—My lord delayeth to come! and should begin to be striking the youths and the maidens, —to be eating also, and drinking, and making himself drunk,
Ama laa naacemo ya yedi o pali nni: 'n canbaa waagi mi kpenma,' ki ji pua bi tuonsoanba bi jaba leni bi puoba kuli, ki di ki go ñu ŋali ki guodi,
46 The lord of that servant, will have come—on a day when he is not expecting, and in an hour when he is not taking note, —and will cut him asunder, and, his part, with the unfaithful, will appoint.
laa naacemo canbaa baa kpeni wan ki daani o ya daali leni wan ki faami ya yogunu. o baa teni ban waani o fala ŋali boncianla, ki gedi o ki ban taani leni yaaba n ki ŋua U Tienu.
47 And, that servant, who had come to know the will of his lord, and neither prepared, nor wrought unto his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;
Ya naacemo n bani o canbaa n bua wan ya tiedi yaala ki naa bogidi liba, kaa tiendi nani o canbaa n waani o maama, bi baa pua o ya puadi n yaba.
48 Whereas, he who had not come to know, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And, every one to whom was given much, much, shall be sought from him; and, he to whom they committed much, for more than common, will they ask him.
De yua n kaa bani o canbaa n bua wan ya tiendi yaala, ki tiendi ya bonla n pundi ti puadi, o puadi kan ya yaba. Ban teni yua boncianla, bi baa bili ke wan guani boncianla. Ban piani yua ke li yaba bi baa bili ke wan guani yaala n yaba ki cie.
49 Fire, came I to cast upon the earth, —and what can I wish, if, already, it hath been, kindled?
N cua ki baa lu mi fantama ŋanduna nni. N bua ŋali bonŋanla ke li bi tuodi ki cuo no.
50 But, an immersion, have I, to be immersed with, and how am I distressed, until it be ended!
Ama bi baa kpa batisi nni ya batisima n tie fala. N yama yagini boncianla ŋali lan baa tieni ki gbeni.
51 Suppose ye, that, peace, I am come to give in the earth? Nay, I tell you, but rather division.
Naani yi tama ke n cua ki baa tieni mi yanduanma ŋanduna nni bi? A-a, N cuani mi paadime.
52 For there shall be, henceforth, five in one house, divided, —three against two, and two against three:
Moala liiga niba muu dieyengu nni baa paadi leni bi yaba, niba taa baa koani leni niba lie, niba lie n koani leni niba taa.
53 There shall be divided—Father against son, and son against father, mother against daughter, and daughter against the mother, —mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law.
Bibaa baa koani leni o bijua, ki bonjaga mo n ya n ya koani leni o baa, binaa n koani leni o bisalo, ki bonpuoga mo n koani leni o naa. Yaanaa baa koani leni o biyuaga, ki biyuaga mo n koani leni o yaanaa.”
54 And he went on to say, even unto the multitudes, —Whensoever ye see a cloud springing up from the west, straightway, ye are saying—A thunderstorm is coming! and it happeneth thus.
Jesu go den yedi a nigola: “Yi ya laa ke ku tawaligu fii nintuali po, yi yen yedi tontoni ke ki taaga baa mi. Li yen tua yeni mo.
55 And, whensoever a south wind, blowing, ye say—A scorching heat, will there be! and it cometh to pass.
Yi ya laa ke u faalu ñani niganu po, yi yen yedi ke ku wuligu baa tieni. Li moko yen tua yeni.
56 Hypocrites! the face of the earth and of the heaven, ye know how to scan; but, this season, how know ye not to scan;
Yinba pala lie danba na, yi bani ki bundi tanpoli leni ki tinga sinankeeninba, be yaapo ke yi naa bani ki bundi ya yogunu n tie na ya sinankeeninba wani?
57 Why, moreover, even from yourselves, judge ye not what is just?
Be n teni ke yii kpaagi ki bandi yin baa tieni yaala lan ya tiegi?
58 For, as thou art going along with thine adversary unto a ruler, on the way, take pains to get a release from him; lest once he drag thee along unto the judge, and, the judge, deliver thee up to the punisher, —and, the punisher, cast thee into prison:
Han yegi leni a koanginkoa ke yi caa li bujiali po ya yogunu, ŋan moandi ki dagidi leni o u sanu nni wan da gedini a o bujialo kani, o bujialo n da teni a sandalima, sandalima mo n da luoni a li kpaadidieli nni.
59 I tell thee—In nowise shalt thou come out from thence, until, even the last fraction, thou pay!
N yedi a, a kan ña lienni kali a ban pani ki gbeni, kaa sieni baa tanga.”
