Luke 7
1 After he had completed all his sayings within the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
Wan maadi ku niwulgu wan pia ya maama, Jesu kua Kapernaumi.
2 And, a certain centurion’s servant, being sick, was on the point of dying, —who was, by him, highly prized.
Sijenba canbáa bo pia o tuonsɔnlo, ke o yia, ki ji mi kuuma po.
3 But, hearing about Jesus, he sent forth unto him elders of the Jews, requesting him that he would come and bring his servant safely through.
Wan gbadi ke bi maadi Jesu maama, sije canbáa sɔni o kani nani Suifi yikodanba ŋa yeni, ke bi gedi ki fabni o kani ke wan cua ki paagi o tuonsɔnlo.
4 And, they, coming near unto Jesus, began beseeching him earnestly, saying—Worthy, is he for whom thou mayest do this,
Bi cua ki lá Jesu ki mia o sugli boncianla ... Bi maadi o, o ja ne dagdi yeni ŋan ŋanbi o po.
5 for he loveth our nation, and, the synagogue, he, built for us.
Kelima, o bua ti buolu. Wani n maa ti po ti jaanddiegu.
6 And, Jesus, was journeying with them. But, he, by this time, being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying unto him—Lord! do not trouble thyself, for I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldst enter.
Lani, ke Jesu yegi leni ba ki caa. Li ji bo ki fagi leni deni, ke sijegbengli yeni sɔni o dɔnlinba ke ban maadi o. Ti Yonbdaano, da mabndi a bá, kelima n ki dagdi leni min gaa n denpo.
7 Wherefore, neither deemed I, myself, worthy to come unto thee, —but speak with a word, and let my servant be healed.
Lan ya po n cedi, ke li bo ki dagdi yeni min cua n bá ki lá ŋa. Ama, maadi lanbonyenla ke n tuonsɔnlo n paagi.
8 For, I too, am a man ranked, under authority, having, under myself, soldiers; and I say to this one—Go! and he goeth, —and to another—Come! and he cometh, —and to my servant—Do this! and he doeth it.
Kelima, min mɔno tie sije yua n juadi, ama n pia bi naacenba n yikodi po, leni min sɔni yendo: “Gedi”, o baa caa i, n maadi tɔo: “Cua”, o baa cuoni i. N ya n tuonsɔnlo: “Tieni ne”, o baa tie i.
9 And, hearing these things, Jesus marvelled at him; and, turning to the multitude following him, said—I tell you, Not even in Israel, such faith as this, have I found!
Jesu n gbadi li maama, ke li lidi o, ama ki mangi o. Ke o gbagi ki maadi ya niwulgu n ŋua o: “Mɔmɔni po, Israyeeli nni ne kuli, n ki baa lá ya nulo ke o pia ya dudugdi ne.”
10 And they who were sent, returning unto the house, found the servant, well.
Sije yeni tondkaaba lebdi deni ki sua ke o tuonsɔnlo paagi o.
11 And it came to pass thereafter, that he journeyed unto a city called Nain, and there were journeying with him, his disciples and a great multitude.
Li kani ke Jesu kua Nayini dogu nni. O ŋɔdkaaba leni ku niwulgu boncianla ciandi o.
12 Now, as he drew near unto the gate of the city, then lo! there was being brought forth, one dead, the only-begotten son of his mother, —and, she, was a widow; and, a considerable multitude of the city, was with her.
Wan cili ki kua u docamu nni, ki cendi ku niwulgu ke bi pii li pakuali biyendga. Bi dogtieba boncianla bo ŋua a kupiila.
13 And, beholding her, the Lord, was moved with compassion over her, and said to her—Be not weeping!
T yonbdaano lá li pakuali ke mi ninñima cuo o, ke o maadi: ... Da buudi man!
14 And, going forward, he touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still; and he said—Young man! to thee, I say, Arise!
Ke o nagni ki kulianga ki maani o nugu ki po, ke yaaba n tugi sedi.... Ke Jesu yedi, o naaciemo, n cabi a fii.
15 And the dead man sat up, and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
Ke mi kuuma fii ki kali ki maadi. Ke Jesu ŋmiani o o naá.
16 And fear seized them, all, and they began to glorify God, saying—A great prophet, hath been raised up amongst us! and—God hath visited his people!
Ke bi niba kuli jie, ki ji dondi U Tienu ki maadi: U Tienu cua ki bua fie u niba. Ki gɔ pugni: U Tienu cua ki tebi o kpiemo!
17 And this report went forth throughout the whole of Judaea, and all the surrounding country.
Ya lanbona ke bi maadi Jesu po ne bo yadi Suude leni li dogkuni kuli.
18 And John’s disciples carried tidings unto him concerning all these things.
Jan ŋɔdkaaba maadi o yaala n den tieni kuli, ke bi siiga, ke o yini bonbilie.
19 And, calling unto him certain two of his disciples, John sent unto the Lord, saying—Art, thou, the Coming One, or, a different one, are we to expect?
ki sɔni ba ti Yonbdaano kan ke ban buali o: ... Fini n den cuoni bii, tin gɔ dá guudi tɔo i?
20 And, coming near unto him, the men said—John the Immerser, hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art, thou, the Coming One, or, another, are we to expect?
Ke li danba sedi o nungi nni ki maadi o: ... Jan-Baptisti n sɔni ti. Yaala ke bo bua buali a nne: “Fini n den cuoni bii, tin dá guudi Tondtɔo i?”
21 In that very hour, he cured many from diseases, and plagues, and wicked spirits; and, unto many blind, gave he the favour to see.
Ya yogu ke o pundi li kani Jesu bo paagi ni niba boncianla, i yianbuolbuoli kuli, ki paagi yaaba n den gbie leni mu cicibiadmu, ki nuali a juama boncianla.
22 And, answering, he said unto them—Go and bear tidings unto John, as to what ye have seen and heard: The blind, are receiving sight, the lame, walk, lepers, are cleansed, and, the deaf, hear, the dead, are raised, the destitute, are told the glad-message;
Ke Jesu maadi ba: Guani man Jan kani ki dugni o yin lá yaala: Bi juanba nɔnli, a waba cuoni, a gbaada paagi, a tubkpaana gbadi, ke bi kpienba yiedi, ke talginba gaa li pamanli.
23 And, happy, is he, whosoever shall not find occasion of stumbling in me!
Pamanli lenli yua luni o dudugdi kelima n ya po.
24 And, the messengers of John having departed, he began to say unto the multitudes, concerning John—What went ye forth into the desert to gaze at? A reed, by a wind, shaken?
Jan tondkaaba den lebdi yo, ke Jesu ji maadi leni ku niwulgu Jan po. ... I gedi ki lá be mi tinfanma nni? U faalu n liebi ya ñinmuagu ne.
25 But what went ye forth to see? A man, in soft garments, arrayed? Lo! they who in splendid apparel and luxury are found, are, in the kingly courts.
I gedi ki lá ŋma i? Yua bobi ti tiadŋandi? Yaaba n bibi ti tiadgbengdi ki ye u manu nni kua bi badcianba diedi nni.
26 But what went ye forth to see? A prophet? Yea! I say unto you, —and abundantly more than a prophet.
Ama i ji gedi ki lá ŋma i? U Tienu tondo? N maadi yi, o cie U Tienu tondo mɔno.
27 This, is he concerning whom it is written—Lo! I am sending forth my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
Kelima, o ya po i ke li diani: N ba sɔni n Tondo a nunga nni, wan bobni a sanu.
28 I say unto you—A greater, among them that are born of women, than John, is there none; but, he that is least in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.
N maadi pua n mali yua kuli, ama yua n yabi ki cie Jan ki ye, yua n wa U Tienu diema nni n yabi ki cie o.
29 And, all the people, when they heard, and the tax-collectors, justified God, having been immersed with the immersion of John;
... Ya niba n den cengi o kuli leni a lonpogaala den dugi U Tienu po mɔmɔni, ki tuo ki Jan n wulbi a U Tienu ñima.
30 but, the Pharisees and the lawyers, had set aside, the counsel of God against themselves, not being immersed by him.
Ama Farisieninba leni U Tienu bali maama tundkaaba yie ke o kan wulbi ba U Tienu ñima, bi luni U Tienu buama.
31 Unto what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? And unto what are they like?
N ba nangi mɔlane niba leni be i? Bi naani leni be?
32 They are like unto the children sitting, in a market-place, and calling one to another, who say—We played the flute for you, and ye danced not, We wailed, and ye wept not.
Bi tie nani ya bila n kaa ki daaga nni, ki yii bi lieba ki tua: «Ti piebi yipo mu yelmu, ke yii jeli ki ciaga! Ya yogu ke ti gɔ yiini mi kuuma yani, yi gɔ ki buudi!
33 For John the Immerser hath come, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say—A demon, he hath:
Lani, Jan-Baptisti cua, kaa ŋmani kpanu, kaa ñuni ku daamɔngu. Yi maadi be i? “O pia cicibiigu o niinni.
34 The Son of Man hath come, eating and drinking, and ye say—Lo! a man, gluttonous and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-collectors and sinners.
O nulo bijua cua ki di ki ñu, ki i yigni: “O ja ne maalma tie wan di ki ñu i, o tie a lonpogaala leni ti tuonsɔnbiaddanba dɔnlinba.”
35 And yet wisdom hath been justified by all her children.
Ama, U Tienu yanfuoma cua yaaba n tua ma po i.
36 And a certain one of the Pharisees was requesting him, that he would eat with him; and, entering into the house of the Pharisee, he reclined.
Farisieni den yini Jesu ke wan je. Ke Jesu gedi ki kali ki di.
37 And, lo! a woman, who indeed was in the city a sinner; and, when she found out that he was reclining in the house of the Pharisee, providing an alabaster-jar of perfume,
Ke puoconconli bá cua, ke yua kuli o u dogu nni, ke o ye ku yenyebiigu nni. Nani, wan bo gbandi ke Jesu cua Farisieni deni ki di yeni, ke o taa o tulaali konkonga.
38 and standing behind, near his feet, weeping, with the tears, began she to be wetting his feet, and, with the hair of her head, was wiping off [the tears], and was tenderly kissing his feet, and anointing them with the perfume.
Ki cua ki sedi o puoli po, kpiani o taana. Ki buudi ke o ninsiidi pan milgi Jesu taana; ke o taa o yudi ki fiadi fiadi, ki balgi Jesu taana po, ki tiendi tulaali.
39 But the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spake within himself, saying, This one, if he were the prophet, would have been taking note, who and of what sort, is the woman, who is even touching him, that she is, a sinner.
Farisieni yua bo yini o yeni n lá lani, ke o maadi: O ja ne ya bo tie U Tienu tondo yeni mɔni, o bo ba bandi o pua yua siigi o ne n ye ya yenyienbiigu nni.
40 And, making answer, Jesus said unto him—Simon! I have, unto thee, something to say. He, then—Teacher, speak!—saith he.
Jesu doni o nialu ki maadi: ... Simɔn n pia maama bá ki bua maadi ŋa. ... Ke Farisieni ŋmiani o: Nn, Canbá́a, maadi.
41 Two debtors, there were, to a certain creditor, —the one, owed five hundred denaries, and, the other, fifty.
... Niblie n bo dini li panli bi pandaano kani. Nuyendo den ba pa dibala kobiimu, yua tua mɔ n pa dibala piimu.
42 they not having wherewith to pay, he forgave, both. Which of them, therefore, will love him, more?
Nani ban bonblie kuli, obá n bo ki pia ki ba pa li panli yeni, ke o pandaano cabi ba ke ban da pa. A ya po, ban boblie siiga ŋma n ba ŋanbi ki bua o pandaano?
43 Making answer, Simon said—I suppose, that he to whom, the more, he forgave. And, he, said unto him—Rightly, hast thou judged.
Simɔn ŋmiani: ... N maali ke yua ya panli n ŋanbi ki yabi. ... Jesu maadi o ke o jiini li po n yeni.
44 And, turning towards the woman, unto Simon, he said—Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house: water to me, on my feet, thou didst not give, —but, she, with her tears, hath wetted my feet, and, with her hair, wiped off [the tears].
Ki gbagi ki diidi o pua yeni ki gɔ maadi: ... A lá o pua ne i? To, min cua a deni, ŋaa teni nni mi ñima ke n ba ŋuudi n taana; ama, wan taa o ninsiidi ki ŋuudi n taana, ki fiadi a leni o yudi.
45 A kiss, to me, thou didst not give, —but, she, from the time I came in, hath not ceased tenderly kissing my feet.
A ki lɔni nni ki waani nni a buama, ama, wani, hali min kua ne, o li lɔngi n taana i.
46 With oil, my head, thou didst not anoint, —but, she, with perfume, hath anointed, my feet.
A ki sɔgi n yuli po tulaali, ama wani, o wuli n taana po tulaali.
47 For which cause, I say unto thee—Her many sins, have been forgiven, because she hath loved, much: but, he to whom little is forgiven, little, loveth.
Lan ya po, n maadi a: O tuonbiadi kuli piini, li po n cedi ke o waani nni o buama kuli. Yua ke bi dini sugli o po waama nne, wangi o buama waama nne i!
48 And he said unto her—Thy sins have been forgiven.
Ki ji maadi o pua: ... A tuonbiadi kuli piini.
49 And they who were reclining together, began to be saying within themselves—Who is, this, that, even forgiveth sins?
Wan n den yini yaaba ki pugni o po ji maadi bi bá nni: “O ja ne tie ŋma i ki piindi bi niba tuonbiadi?”
50 But he said unto the woman—Thy faith, hath saved thee, —Go thy way into peace.
Ama, ke Jesu maadi o pua: ... Kelima, a dugi n po, a baa mi faabma; ya caa leni li pamanli.
