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.
When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as Yochanan also taught his disciples.”
2 O den ŋmian ba: i ya baa jaandi, yin maadi ne: n baà yua ye aljandini, a diema pundi.
He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
3 Teni ti daali mi yentunjiema.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
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 ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
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 said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight and tell him, ‘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 has 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 within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it 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, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as 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.
“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.
10 Kelima, bi tieni yua miadi, ki yua kpaani laadi, ki bi luodi li ganli yua kuogi po.
For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will 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?
“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
12 Bii, o ya buali jenli po wan ten'o o namo?
Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
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 then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who 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.
He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marvelled.
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, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the 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, testing him, sought 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.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
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.
If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
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
But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20 Ama, li ya tie U Tienu paalu po k bieli mu cicibiadimu, U Tienu diema pundi i kani.
But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to 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 armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
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 someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armour in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.
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 with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
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.
The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’
25 O yi guani ki sua ki bi tingni lan ya kaano ki ŋanbi.
When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
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 he goes and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes 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 came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”
28 K Jesu ŋmian o: li pamanli ŋanbi ki ye yaabi n cengi m maama ki gɔ cɔln ni li kuli.
But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear 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 multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
30 Nani Jonas n bo tie bama Ninif nib po yen, o nulo bijua mɔ baa tie mɔlane niba ne po bama i.
For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also 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 will rise up in the judgement with the men of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, 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 Nineveh will stand up in the judgement with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the proclaiming of Jonah; and behold, 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.
“No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in 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 the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
35 Tien suoo ki ŋanbi ki diidi, ke a fidili n da cua yeni bonbonli a po.
Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t 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 therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”
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,
Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.
38 ke farisien bandi k o cili ki je, k ki ŋuudi o nugi. k li ya k lid'o.
When the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
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.
The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
40 Yinbi, i ki bani k yua tagi niin po, wan tagi deni mɔa?
You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
41 Teni mani U Tien yaali ye i pala nni kuli k o bu ŋanbi.
But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to 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 to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left 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 to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
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 to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
45 Wan maadi yeni, ki yiko tudka gaa ti jadi ki bual'o: ... canbaa, a maadi k ŋan sugd ti bi.
One of the Torah scholars answered him, “Rabbi, in saying this you insult 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.
He said, “Woe to you Torah scholars also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
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 build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
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 testify and consent to the works of your fathers. 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”.
Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and emissaries; and some of them they will kill and 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.
that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of 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 Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will 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 Torah scholars! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
53 Jesu n bo ñani gu diegu nni, ki yiko gbanbanda yeni farisien nba ji tudi o, ki bual'o i buali boncianli.
As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him,
54 Bi ji den kpaani wan baa jiini yaali, lan cua yeni kɔnli.
lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
