Matthew 19
1 At the conclusion of this teaching, Jesus withdrew from Galilee, and went into that district of Judea which is on the other side of the Jordan.
Jesu n den maadimaadi laa maama kuli ki gbeni, o den fii ki ñani Galile diema nni ki gedi Jude tinga yaaga n ye Judena kpenu kandima.
2 Great crowds followed him, and he cured them there.
Ku niligu den hua o. O den paagi a yiama likani.
3 Presently some Pharisees came up to him, and, to test him, said: “Has a man the right to divorce his wife for every cause?”
Falisieninba den tuogi o ki dia o ku madiagu ki yedi: Naani li balimaama tuo o joa n ñani o pua lan tie yaala kuli po bi?
4 “Have not you read,” replied Jesus, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’
O den goa ki yedi: Yii cogi ke mi cilima o Tagido den tagi o joa leni o pua?
5 and said — ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and be united to his wife, and the man and his wife shall become one’?
Li go yedi: Li tie lani yaa po ke o joa baa ña o baa leni o naa kani ki taani leni o pua, bani niba lie yeni n tua gbannanyendi.
6 So that they are no longer two, but one. What God himself, then, has yoked together man must not separate.”
Yeni, baa go tie niba lie ka, bi ji tie yende. U Tienu n taani yaala, o nisaalo n da paadi la.
7 “Why, then,” they said, “did Moses direct that a man should ‘serve his wife with a notice of separation and divorce her’?”
Bi den yedi o: Be yaa po ke Musa nan den bili li balimaama nni ke o joa n teni opua li poñatili ki ñani o?
8 “Moses, owing to the hardness of your hearts,” answered Jesus, “permitted you to divorce your wives, but that was not so at the beginning.
O den goa ki yedi: Li tie kelima yi pajuaga po ke Musa den tuo ke yin yaa ñandi yi puoba. Ama hali handuna tagima yogunu laa den tie yeni.
9 But I tell you that any one who divorces his wife, except on the ground of her unchastity, and marries another woman, is guilty of adultery.”
Mini, n waani yi ke yua n ñani o pua ke laa tie kelima mi conconma po, ki go taa potoa kuli, o conbi.
10 “If that,” said the disciples, “is the position of a man with regard to his wife, it is better not to marry.”
O hoadikaaba den yedi o: Li ya tie yeni o joa leni o pua siiga, laa hali o joa n taa pua.
11 “It is not every one,” replied Jesus, “who can accept this teaching, but only those who have been enabled to do so.
O den goa ki yedi ba: Bi niba kuli ka baa fidi ki ga laa maama, kali U Tienu n puni yaaba li paalu bebe.
12 Some men, it is true, have from birth been disabled for marriage, while others have been disabled by their fellow men, and others again have disabled themselves for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. Let him accept it who can.”
Kelima bi tianba ye ki tie moagilimu kelima bi mali ki tie yeni, bine mo tua moagilimu kelima bi niba n tieni ba la, bine mo tua yeni kelima tanpoli diema po. Yua n baa fidi ki ga laa maama, wan ga.
13 Then some little children were brought to Jesus, for him to place his hands on them, and pray; but the disciples found fault with those who had brought them.
Li yaa puoli bi niba Jesu kani a biwaala ke wan maani o nii bipo ki go jaandi bipo. Bi hoadikaaba denfuni leni yaaba n kpendinni ba.
14 Jesus, however, said: “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for it is to the childlike that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs.”
Ama Jesu den yedi: Cedi mani a biwaala n cua n kani ki da deli ba, kelima tanpoli diema tie yaaba n tie nani a biwaala yeni yaa po.
15 So he placed his hands on them, and then went on his way.
O den maani o nii bipo ki fii ki fuadi likani.
16 And a man came up to Jesus, and said: “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain Immortal Life?” (aiōnios g166)
O joa den cua Jesu kani ki buali o: Canba, n baa tieni be yaa bonhanle ki baa yaa miali n kan gbeni? (aiōnios g166)
17 “Why ask me about goodness?” answered Jesus. “There is but One who is good. If you want to enter the Life, keep the commandments.”
Jesu den goa ki buali o: be yaa po ke a buali nni yaala n hani po? Yendo bebe n ye ki hani. A ya bua ki baa yaa miali n kan gbeni, han yaa tiendi li balimaama n bili yaala. O den buali o: Lile.
18 “What commandments?” asked the man. “These,” answered Jesus: — “‘Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not say what is false about others.
Jesu den goa ki yedi o: Han da kpa o nilo, han da conbi, han da tieni mi seedifaama, han da su.
19 Honour thy father and thy mother.’ And ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thou dost thyself.”
Han jigini a baa leni a naa, ki go bua a nisaalilielo nani han bua a yuli maama yeni.
20 “I have observed all these,” said the young man. “What is still wanting in me?”
O jawaalo yeni den yedi o: N kubi lankuli. N go poadi be?
21 “If you wish to be perfect,” answered Jesus, “go and sell your property, and give to the poor, and you shall have wealth in Heaven; then come and follow me.”
Jesu den yedi o: A ya bua ki yaa hani cain, han gedi ki ban kuadi han pia a luoda li ligi, lane a baa pia halimani tanpoil po. Lani, han cua ki hoadi nni.
22 On hearing these words, the young man went away distressed, for he had great possessions.
O jawaalo yeni n den gbadi laa maamna, o den tagini ki ban caa leni li pabiidili kelima o halimano den yaba.
23 At this, Jesus said to his disciples: “I tell you that a rich man will find it hard to enter the Kingdom of Heaven!
Lane Jesu den yedi o hoadikaaba: N waani yi i moamoani, li baa pa boncianla o piado po wan kua tanpoli diema nni.
24 I say again, it is easier for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven!”
N go yedi yi, ku yuoyuogu n tagini mi kpalipienbonma nni dingi ki cie o piado n kua U Tienu diema nni.
25 On hearing this, the disciples exclaimed in great astonishment: “Who then can possibly be saved?”
Bi hoadikaaban den gbadi lani, li den paki ba boncianla ke bi yedi: Li yaa tie yeni, hme nan baa fidi ki tindi?
26 But Jesus looked at them, and said: “With men this is impossible, but with God everything is possible.” Then Peter turned and said to Jesus:
Jesu den diidi ba ki yedi: Bi nisaaliba n kan fidi la, ama U Tienu wani fidi li bonla kuli.
27 “But we — we left everything, and followed you; what, then, shall we have?”
Lanwani Pieli den yedi o: Diid ki la, ti den ha likuli ki hoadi a. Li nan baa tua tipo lede?
28 “I tell you,” answered Jesus, “that at the New Creation, ‘when the Son of Man takes his seat on his throne of glory,’ you who followed me shall be seated upon twelve thrones, as judges of the twelve tribes of Israel.
Jesu den goa ki yedi ba: N waani yi i moamoani, li bonla kuli ya goa ki pandi yaa yogunu, ke o Joa Bijua mo kali o bali kalikaanu po leni ti kpiagidi kuli, yinba yaaba n hoa nni, yi mono baa kali piiga n bali kalikaani lie po ki jia Isalele piiga n buoliedi buudi.
29 Every one who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or land, on account of my Name, will receive many times as much, and will ‘gain Immortal Life.’ (aiōnios g166)
Yua mo n fii ki ha o diena, yaaka o naataanjaba, yaaka o naataanpola, yaaka o baa, yaaka o naa, yaaka o bila, yaaka o kuani kelima n yeli po, o baa baa likuli taalima kobiga kobiga, ki go baa yaa miali n kan gbeni. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many who are first now will then be last, and those who are last will be first.
Ama liiga yaaba siiga boncianla baa tua puoli yaaba, puoli yaaba siiga mo, boncianla baa tua liiga yaaba.
