Luka 11
1 Daa yenli ki jesu den jaandi ki gbeni, ko ŋɔdikaaba siigni yendo bual'o: ti Diedo, bangi ti i jaandi nani San n bangi o ŋɔdikaabi maama yeni.
It happened he was praying in a certain place, and when he stopped, one of his disciples said to him, "Master, teach us how to pray, just as Johntaught his disciples."
2 O den ŋmian ba: i ya baa jaandi, yin maadi ne: n baà yua ye aljandini, a diema pundi.
So he said to them. "When you pray, say, "Father, hallowed be thy name; May thy kingdom come,
3 Teni ti daali mi yentunjiema.
"Give us day by day our bread for the coming day;
4 tieni sugli ti biidi po kuli nani tin tiendi sugli ti lieba po teni. K ya gu ti yeni li bigli yogunu.
"Forgive us our sins; for we also forgive everyone who has offended us; "And bring us not into temptation."
5 K o pugni ki maadi: li tie nani ya nulo pia o donli ko baa o yogsiigu ki miagu: “kpendin kpano bona taa.
He also said to them. "Suppose you have a friend and you go to him, ‘My friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
6 Kelima n donli ba ñani u sani k ba ki can nni, ama n nan k pia ba li bonjekaali ko ba je.
"for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’
7 Li ya sua k o donli ye jiin'o: “cedi k nfuodi, ki da mabi ni, n ganli luo, n k bidi mɔ duan'o. N kan fidi ki fii ki ten'a
"and he from indoors shall answer. ‘Do not pester me. The door is now closed, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot rise and give to you.’
8 n maadi, ba o ya kan fii ki ten'o ki li tie o donlugu po, o bi fii ki dugni li cɔnli po ki ten'o.
"I tell you that, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunate persistence he will rise and give him whatever he needs.
9 Yeni k n maadi: mia mani, bi ba puni; kpaan mani, i bu la; pua mani li ganli, bi ba luodi yin kua.
"So I say to you. "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you.
10 Kelima, bi tieni yua miadi, ki yua kpaani laadi, ki bi luodi li ganli yua kuogi po.
"For he that asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks the door shall be opened.
11 Cegdi nba ye i siigni, ŋma ya po n kpeli ke teni o biga o waa ya yogunu k o buali o jamo?
"What father is there among you who, if his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish will give him instead a serpent?
12 Bii, o ya buali jenli po wan ten'o o namo?
"Or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion?
13 Yinba bi biid dama, i ya bani yin teni i bidi a bonŋama, taalm ŋa i ki ti Diedo bi teni fuoŋanma yaabi n bual'o kuli?
"If you give good gifts to your children, how much more shall the Father who is in heaven give the Holy spirit to those that ask him!"
14 Daa yenli, ki jesu deli i cicibiadiga ja ba kani k o tie muuga. Li cicibiadiga n ñani li ja kani, k o ji cili maadi, ki li yaa ki lidi bi niba.
Once he was casting out a dumb demon, and when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spoke, and the people wondered.
15 K bonciali ji cili ke maadi: ... ne tie Belisebuul paalu po i, mu cicibiadimu canbaa, k o tugi ki bieli li cicibiadimu.
But some of them said, "It is by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that he cast out demons."
16 B tiama, ban den bua ban piugu ku diagu, ki bi bual'o ki wan tieni mi bama bii paligu k li ñani polu po ki ban diidi.
Others, tempting him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven.
17 Ama nani wan bo bani bi maalima k o jiin ba: o tɔbu n pua ya dogu, a diena yi baali, ki li ŋmadili ye.
He knew their intentions and said to them. "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste and house falls upon house.
18 I maal k n bieli mu cicibiadimu besebuul yeli po. Li ya tie yeni, mi bɔgidma bo ba tieni sitaani diema nni. O diema bo ba bia fanma.
"And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?
19 Lan ni, li ya tie k n bieli mu cicibiadimu belsebuul yeli po, ŋma nan tieni i niba o paalu ki bi paagdi bi yiama. Li po n cedi k bi tie i po buud dama
"Do you say that I am casting out demons by the power of Beelzebub? If I then am casting out demons by Beelzebub, by whom are your sons casting them out? They therefore shall be your judges.
20 Ama, li ya tie U Tienu paalu po k bieli mu cicibiadimu, U Tienu diema pundi i kani.
"But if it is by the finger of God that I am casting out demons, then the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 Ya nulo pia mi tuama ki gɔ pia ti tɔb tiadi ki gu o deni, o ŋalimano kuli ye li wuoli nni.
"When the strong man fully aroused keeps guard over his homestead, his property is undisturbed;
22 Ama yua ya paa ki cie ya kɔni yen'o, o yi fie o tɔb tiadi kuli yen o ŋalimano ki bɔgdi
"but when the stronger man attacks him, he takes away from the strong armor in which he was trusting and divides up the spoil.
23 ya nulo ki tie n yua, tie n yibalo, k yua ki taagi yen nni, yadi yaali k n taan nni.
"He who is not for me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me is scattering.
24 Ya yogunu k bi deli cicinbiadiga, o yi sani ki ban kua li fuali nni, ki kpaani naan kani ko ba fuodi, ama o ya ki la naani k o ba kua, o yi yedi o ba nni: nba guani naani k n bo ñani.
"Whenever a foul spirit is gone out of a man, it roams through waterless places, in search of rest; but when it can find none, it says, ‘I will go back to the house which I have left.’
25 O yi guani ki sua ki bi tingni lan ya kaano ki ŋanbi.
When it comes and finds the house completely swept and garnished.
26 Li ya tieni yeni, o yi guani ki gedi ki ban kpaani o lieba bonbi lele, k bi bia ki ciegu k pugni o po, ban ji ya ye. Li nulo yinyienu ji ŋanbi ki pa k cie cincinli.
"Then it goes off and fetches seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first."
27 Yayogunu k o maadi yeni, k o pua ba yigni bi niba nni: pamanli ya pua mal'a ki ŋaan'a o biili
It happened while he was saying this, that a certain woman out of the crowd shouted to him, saying, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breast that you have sucked."
28 K Jesu ŋmian o: li pamanli ŋanbi ki ye yaabi n cengi m maama ki gɔ cɔln ni li kuli.
"No, rather," he answered, "blessed are those who listen to the word of God, and keep it."
29 Bi niba bo baadi ki pugdi, k o maadi: ti yogu ne niba tie nibiidi, bi o paligu po, ama bi ji kan la paligu ke li ya tie Jonas n bo tieni yaali ka.
When the crowd were beginning to throng about him he proceeded to say. "This is an evil generation! It seeks a sign, and there shall be no sign be given to it except the sign of Jonah;
30 Nani Jonas n bo tie bama Ninif nib po yen, o nulo bijua mɔ baa tie mɔlane niba ne po bama i.
"for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man be to this generation.
31 Daajijuogu daali, o yanbangu puo bado, bu fii ki kɔniyeni li yogunu niba, kelima o ba li ŋandunli ni ki bua cengi Salumɔ tundli yaali gbie yeni mi yanfuoma. Ama bonli nan ye ne cie salumɔ.
"The queen of the South shall rise up in Judgement with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them; because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and lo, one greater than Solomon is here!
32 Li daajijuogu daali, Ninif niba bu fii ki kɔni yeni bi yogu yab. Kelima bi ŋa damiwoncili ki cengi jonas maama. Ama k bonli ye ki cie Jonas ne kanba.
"The men of the Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with his generation and shall condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and lo! one greater than Jonah is here!
33 Nul kan cuoni fidili ki wuon i lɔdign ni bii ki cunbni bobli. N n, bi yi tuani naani ki ya niba n kua gu diegu nni, n la mi yinyenma.
"When one lights a lamp he does not put it in a cellar nor under the bushel, but on a lamp-stand that those who enter may see the light.
34 A nuni tie nani fidili yeni ki yendi a gbanu. A nuni ya ye laafia nni, a gbanu kuli ye mi yinyenma nni, ama a nuni ya ki pia laafia, a gbanu kuli ye li bonli nni.
"The lamp of the body is your eye; when your eye is single then your whole body is full of light; but when it is evil your whole body is full of darkness.
35 Tien suoo ki ŋanbi ki diidi, ke a fidili n da cua yeni bonbonli a po.
"Look carefully! Perhaps that very light of yours is darkness.
36 A gbanu kuli ya ye mi yinyenma nni, ki ba bɔgdima ki ye bonbonli nni, l baa tie a po nani li fidili n tien a mi yinyenma.
"If, however, your whole body is full of light, without having any part dark, it will be wholly radiant with light, as when the lamp illumines you with its bright rays."
37 Ban bo maadi ya yogunu yeni, ki farisien ba yin jesu k wan ba ki je o deni. Ki jesu kua li ja deni, ki cili ki ba je,
When he had finished speaking a Pharisee asked him to dine with him; so he went in with him and reclined.
38 ke farisien bandi k o cili ki je, k ki ŋuudi o nugi. k li ya k lid'o.
And the Pharisee noticed, to his amazement, that he did not wash his hands before eating,
39 K jesu jiin k maadi: yinb farisien nba, i yi ŋanbi ki wuli, ki caadi, ama ki pala nni gbie yen o naayidbu yen mi biadima.
but the Lord said to him. "You Pharisee do cleanse the outside of your cup or plate, but your secret heart is full of extortion and wickedness.
40 Yinbi, i ki bani k yua tagi niin po, wan tagi deni mɔa?
"Foolish men! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?
41 Teni mani U Tien yaali ye i pala nni kuli k o bu ŋanbi.
"Better cleanse what is within, and nothing will be unclean for you.
42 Ama yubonli i po, farisien nba, i di jodi boncianli bonli kuli nni, k k bua ki maadi i mɔmɔni, k gɔ sundi U Tienu buama po. Yin bo baa tien yaali, k da ŋa li ba kuli yeni.
"But woe unto you Pharisee! for you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and disregard justice and the love of God; but these you ought to have done, and not leave the other undone.
43 Yubonli i po, farisien nba, kelima i maan a kankaan cincina ti jandiedi nni. I bua ki ban fuondi bi niba n yabi naani.
"Woe unto you Pharisee! for you delight in the best seats in the synagogue, and in the salutation in the market-places.
44 Yubonli i po, i naani yen ya kula ki naani yeni bonli, k bi tɔgdi bii k cuoni li po k jeje k ye.
"Woe unto you! for you are like the tombs which are hidden, and men walk over them unsuspecting."
45 Wan maadi yeni, ki yiko tudka gaa ti jadi ki bual'o: ... canbaa, a maadi k ŋan sugd ti bi.
Hereupon one of the lawyers exclaimed, "But teacher, in saying such things you are also reproaching us also."
46 Jesu maadi: yubonli a po fin yiko daan'o ne. I tungi bi niba ya tuga kpiagi, ama, yinba mɔno ki bua yin sii ba i nugi li ba kuli ya po.
"Woe unto you lawyers also!" said Jesus, "for you load men with irksome burdens, and you yourselves will not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Yubonli i po, kelima i t iendi ti bontitagdi ki nangi U Tienu tondi yaaba ki yajaanb bo kpaab.
"Woe to you! for you are building the tombs of the prophets whom you ancestors killed.
48 I wangi yeni mɔni i yaajaanba n bo sɔni ya tuonbiidi kuli: bi kpa U Tienu tondi, ki mɔa maa bi kula.
"So you are witnesses, and you consent to the actions of your ancestors. for they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 Li ya po k U Tienu, o yanfuoma nni bo maadi: “n te bi sɔni ntondi yeni n ŋɔdikaaba; i ba kpa tiama, ki cagni yaaba n sieni”.
"For this reason also said the Wisdom of God. ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and some they will persecute;
50 Li po n cedi ke ti yogunu yaaba te bi pa, U Tienu tondi yaaba ki bi kpabi kuli hali li ŋandunli cilima.
"so that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required from this generation,
51 Ki cili Abel kuuma, ki pan gedi Zakali kuuma li jaandi binbindli po. N maadi, ti yogunu yaaba, te kan fidi ki buu bi buudi ki gbeni.
"from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the alter and the sanctuary; yes; I tell you, it shall be required of this generation!
52 Yubonli i po, yinba yiko tundikaaba, i tugi mi banma k li cie bonli kuli. L k tie ki kan la U Tienu baba ka, ama i bi pani bi niba boncianli, ki bi kan fidi ki kua.
"Woe to you lawyers, for you have taken away the key of knowledge!’ You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who are trying to enter."
53 Jesu n bo ñani gu diegu nni, ki yiko gbanbanda yeni farisien nba ji tudi o, ki bual'o i buali boncianli.
After he had gone away, the Scribes and the Pharisee began to set themselves vehemently against him, and to cross-question him upon many points,
54 Bi ji den kpaani wan baa jiini yaali, lan cua yeni kɔnli.
laying in wait for him, in order to catch a word from his lips.
