Luka 12
1 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.
In those [times], the myriads of the crowd being gathered together, so that they trod one on another, he began to say to his disciples first, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;
2 Liba kuli ki ye ki wuo ki kan wuodi. Liba kuli ki ye ki duagi ke bi kan bandi la.
but there is nothing covered up which shall not be revealed, nor secret that shall not be known;
3 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.
therefore whatever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light, and what ye have spoken in the ear in chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 Yinba n danlinba, n yedi yi, yin da jie mani yaala n baa kpa yi gbannandi ki nan kan fidi ki tieni yi bontoala.
But I say to you, my friends, Fear not those who kill the body and after this have no more that they can do.
5 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)
But I will shew you whom ye shall fear: Fear him who after he has killed has authority to cast into hell; yea, I say to you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Baa kuadi nuani muu muu kaa kumu lie? Ama baa yeni, U Tienu kan sundi bi siiga nni ba yendo po.
Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? and one of them is not forgotten before God.
7 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.
But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore, ye are better than many sparrows.
8 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.
But I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, the Son of man will confess him also before the angels of God;
9 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.
but he that shall have denied me before men shall be denied before the angels of God;
10 Yua n maadi o Joa Bijua po yaala n bia baa baa sugili, ama yua n sugi U Tienu Fuoma Yua kan baa sugili.
and whoever shall say a word against the Son of man it shall be forgiven him; but to him that speaks injuriously against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.
11 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,
But when they bring you before the synagogues and rulers and the authorities, be not careful how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;
12 kelima lanyogunu lige U Tienu Fuoma yua baa bangi yi yin baa yedi yaala.”
for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the hour itself what should be said.
13 Ku niligu siiga niyendo den yedi Jesu: “Canbaa, waani n kpelo wan boagidi ti baa n ŋa ya faali ki teni nni n biinu.”
And a person said to him out of the crowd, Teacher, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me.
14 Jesu den goa ki yedi o: “N danli ŋme dini nni li bali min jia yipo yi maama, ki boagidi yi faali?”
But he said to him, Man, who established me [as] a judge or a divider over you?
15 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.”
And he said to them, Take heed and keep yourselves from all covetousness, for [it is] not because a man is in abundance [that] his life is in his possessions.
16 Lani Jesu den pua ba mi kpanjama ki yedi: “O piado den ye ke o kuanu loni boncianla.
And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
17 O den kpaagi ki yedi o pali nni: 'N baa tieni lede? Kelima mii pia min baa bili n kpaandi kuli naani.”
And he reasoned within himself saying, What shall I do? for I have not [a place] where I shall lay up my fruits.
18 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.
And he said, This will I do: I will take away my granaries and build greater, and there I will lay up all my produce and my good things;
19 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.'
and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much good things laid by for many years; repose thyself, eat, drink, be merry.
20 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?”
But God said to him, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared?
21 Jesu go den yedi: “Li tie yeni leni yua n taagi mi piama o yuceli po, ke o cima ki tie U Tienu po.”
Thus is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22 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.
And he said to his disciples, For this cause I say unto you, Be not careful for life, what ye shall eat, nor for the body, what ye shall put on.
23 Li miali cie mi jiema, ti gbannandi mo cie ti tiayiekaadi.
The life is more than food, and the body than raiment.
24 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.
Consider the ravens, that they sow not nor reap; which have neither storehouse nor granary; and God feeds them. How much better are ye than the birds?
25 Yi siiga ŋme yanyangidi n baa teni wan fidi ki foagidi o miali dana baa waanu?
But which of you by being careful can add to his stature one cubit?
26 Yi ya kan fidi ki tieni ya bonla n wa yeni, be yaapo ke yi bangi yaala n sieni kuli po.
If therefore ye cannot [do] even what is least, why are ye careful about the rest?
27 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.
Consider the lilies how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I say unto you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.
28 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.
But if God thus clothe the grass, which to-day is in the field and to-morrow is cast into [the] oven, how much rather you, O ye of little faith?
29 Da yagini mani yi yama leni yin baa di yaala lingina leni yin baa ñu yaala lingima.
And ye, seek not what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, and be not in anxiety;
30 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.
for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that ye have need of these things;
31 Ama yin kpa lingi mani U Tieni diema nni lani laabonla kuli baa pugini yi po.
but seek his kingdom, and [all] these things shall be added to you.
32 Da jie mani liba, fini ya yankulu n ki yaba, kelima li mani yi Baa wan pa yi mi diema.
Fear not, little flock, for it has been the good pleasure of your Father to give you the kingdom.
33 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.
Sell what ye possess and give alms; make to yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure which does not fail in the heavens, where thief does not draw near nor moth destroy.
34 Kelima yi ŋalimani n ye naankani yi yantiana mo baa ye lankane.
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
35 Ñagini mani yi ciamu ku gbanñagidigu ki teni yi fidisanmu n ya co.
Let your loins be girded about, and lamps burning;
36 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.
and ye like men who wait their own lord whenever he may leave the wedding, that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.
37 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.
Blessed are those bondmen whom the lord [on] coming shall find watching; verily I say unto you, that he will gird himself and make them recline at table, and coming up will serve them.
38 O ya kpeni o kootonmoa-kpialo, yaaka o kootonmoa-yuamo, ki sua ke bi nua ki gu, li pamanli baa ye leni ba.
And if he come in the second watch, and come in the third watch, and find [them] thus, blessed are those [bondmen].
39 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.
But this know, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be dug through.
40 Yi moko n bogini ki ya gu kelima o Joa Bijua baa cua yin ki daani o ya yogunu.”
And ye therefore, be ye ready, for in the hour in which ye do not think [it], the Son of man comes.
41 Pieli den yedi o: “N daano, a pua mi naa kpanjama tinba bebe po bi? Bi niba kuli po?”
And Peter said to him, Lord, sayest thou this parable to us, or also to all?
42 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?
And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and prudent steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give the measure of corn in season?
43 Li pamanli baa ye leni laa naacemo o canbaa ya kpeni ki sua ke o tiendi yeni.
Blessed is that bondman whom his lord [on] coming shall find doing thus;
44 N waani yi i moamoani, o canbaa baa guuni o piama kuli.
verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he has.
45 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,
But if that bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come, and begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and to drink and to be drunken,
46 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.
the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of, and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the unbelievers.
47 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.
But that bondman who knew his own lord's will, and had not prepared [himself] nor done his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes];
48 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.
but he who knew [it] not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. And to every one to whom much has been given, much shall be required from him; and to whom [men] have committed much, they will ask from him the more.
49 N cua ki baa lu mi fantama ŋanduna nni. N bua ŋali bonŋanla ke li bi tuodi ki cuo no.
I have come to cast a fire on the earth; and what will I if already it has been kindled?
50 Ama bi baa kpa batisi nni ya batisima n tie fala. N yama yagini boncianla ŋali lan baa tieni ki gbeni.
But I have a baptism to be baptised with, and how am I straitened until it shall have been accomplished!
51 Naani yi tama ke n cua ki baa tieni mi yanduanma ŋanduna nni bi? A-a, N cuani mi paadime.
Think ye that I have come to give peace in the earth? Nay, I say to you, but rather division:
52 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.
for from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided; three shall be divided against two, and two against three:
53 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.”
father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
54 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.
And he said also to the crowds, When ye see a cloud rising out of the west, straightway ye say, A shower is coming; and so it happens.
55 Yi ya laa ke u faalu ñani niganu po, yi yen yedi ke ku wuligu baa tieni. Li moko yen tua yeni.
And when [ye see] the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it happens.
56 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?
Hypocrites, ye know how to judge of the appearance of the earth and of the heaven; how [is it then that] ye do not discern this time?
57 Be n teni ke yii kpaagi ki bandi yin baa tieni yaala lan ya tiegi?
And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
58 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.
For as thou goest with thine adverse party before a magistrate, strive in the way to be reconciled with him, lest he drag thee away to the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
59 N yedi a, a kan ña lienni kali a ban pani ki gbeni, kaa sieni baa tanga.”
I say unto thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out thence until thou hast paid the very last mite.
