Luka 12
1 Ya yogu ke ku niwulgu den taani ki pundi a tuda, ke bi niba ji ŋmaadi bi lieba, ke o cili ki dá maadi leni o ŋɔdkaaba, “Fangi mani i yuli leni farisienba nɔbli, bani yaaba n pia mi muyima.
Meanwhile when myriads of the multitudes were thronging around him so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples, first of all. "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisee, which is hypocrisy.
2 Ama bonlibá ki ye ki duagi, ki kan dɔgdi, bonli ki ye ki wuo, ke bi kan bandi.
"There is nothing hidden which shall not be revealed; nothing concealed that shall not be known.
3 Lanwani i, yin maadi yaali li biigli nni, bi ba gbadi li mi yenyenma nni, ke yin sɔbi ki maadi yaali li dieli nni, ke a gana luo, bi ba kpaandi la li dieli binbinli po.
"So that what you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light; and what you have whispered in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed from the housetops.
4 N dɔnlinba, n yedi yi, da jie mani yaaba n ba kpa ti gbannandi, ki ji kan fidi ki tieni libá kuli ki pugni.
"But I say to you who are my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do.
5 Ama, n ba tuodi ki waani yi yin ba ya jie yua. Yin jie yua kpa, ki go pia ya paalu n ba lu ŋa ku mubuogu nni. Nn, n maadi yi, jie mani o. (Geenna g1067)
"I will warn you whom you ought to fear. Fear him who, after he was after he has killed, has power to throw you into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 bi ki kuadi nuanmu mu mu ka kuumu lie e? Leni lani kuli, U Tienu nunga nni, bi kan sundi mu siiga nni bá yenga po.
"Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings? Yet not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God!
7 Ama yinba wani, bá i yudi, bi cɔdi ki bani ti dugli. Da jie mani pu, i pia muyuli ki cie ya nuankuli n yabi.
"But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not! You are of more value than many sparrow!
8 N yedi yi, ya nilo kuli n tuo ke o bani nni, bi niba siiga, o 'Ja Bijua' mo ba tuo ke n bani o U Tienu malekinba kani.
"And I tell you that whoever confesses me before men, the Son of man will confess him before the angels of God;
9 Ama yua nia bi niba siiga ke waa tie n yua, bi ba sundi o po U Tienu malekinba kani.
"and whoever disowns me before men, shall be disowned before the angels of God.
10 Yua n maadi mabiadma o 'Ja Bijua' po, ba baa sugli, ama yua n maadi ki sugi U Tienu Foŋanma, o kan baa sugli.
"If any one shall speak a word against the Son of man it shall be forgiven him; but he who is blasphemes against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven.
11 Bi ya dia yi, ki caa leni yi ti jaandiedi nni, ti buudi danba kani leni yikodanba kani ti buudi po, yin da yagi i yama leni yin ba maadi yaala ki fie i yuli, bii yin ba yedi yaala.
"And when they are bringing you before the synagogues and the rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what you shall answer; or what you shall say;
12 Kelima lanyognu liga, U Tienu Foŋanma ba tundi yin ba yedi yaala.
"for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that hour what you ought to say."
13 Ke niyendo yedi o ku niwulgu siiga “Canbaa, maadi n kpelo wan bɔgdi ti báa ń sieni ti ya faali, ki teni nni.
Then one of the crowd said to him, "Master, tell my brother to give me my share of our inheritance."
14 Jesu ń yedi o, “O ja, ŋma n kaani nni ke min ya tie i buudidaano bii i ke min tua i kɔnpaadilo li faali bɔgdima po?
"Man," said he, "who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?"
15 Ki yedi ba, “Fangi mani yibá lini mi ŋalmanbuacianma, kelima nilo miali ki ŋua o ŋalmani yabmu ka.
And to the people he said, "Take heed and guard yourselves from all covetousness, for a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things which he possesses."
16 Lani ke Jesu pua ba ya kpanjama ne, “Piado bá den koni ki baa boncianla,
Then he spoke to them in a parable. "The ground of a certain rich man bore heavy crops.
17 ke o kali, ki jagi, ki yedi o pali nni, “N ji ba tieni ledi i, kelima mii ji pia kaanu ki ba bili n kpaandi ne kuli?
"So he debated with himself saying, ‘What shall I do? for I have no place in which to store my crops.’
18 ki yedi, “Min ba tieni maama n ne. N ba mumudi n bunbuana, ki guani ki ma yia n tiani, ki bili lien nni n bondikaali leni n bonpiakaali kuli.
"And he said to himself. ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns and build larger ones in which I will store all my wheat and my goods.
19 Lani, n ji ba pagi n yuli “Mini, min bili ya piama kandi, ki ba tuoni nni ya bina n yabi. Ya kaa, ki fuo, ki di, ki ñu, ki mangdi a pali.
"‘And I will say to my soul, "‘Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years! Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.’
20 Ama, ke U Tienu yedi o “O yanluodaano ne, dinne ñiagu liga i, ke n ba ñani a naano, ki ŋa a. ŋan bili yaali kuli ba tua ŋma ya yaali i?
"But God said to him. ‘Foolish man! This very night your soul is wanted! And these things you have prepared, whose shall they be?
21 Li tie nani yua n taagi mi piama o yuli po, ki nan ki pia pu U Tienu kani.”
"So is he that lays up treasures for himself and is not rich toward God."
22 Jesu yedi o ŋɔdkaaba, “lanwani i, yin da buali i miali po, yin ba di yaali bii, i gbanu po, li bonlakaali po
Then he said to his disciples. "For this is the reason I say to you. Be not anxious for your life, what you shall eat; nor yet your body what shall you wear.
23 Kelima, li miali gie ti jiedi, ke u gbanu mo cie ti tialakaadi.
"For the life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes.
24 Diidi mani a bonyugda, baa buu, baa yendi, baa pia bilkaanu, baa pia bɔnbuana, ama U Tienu nan dingi a. yinba, i pia mayuli ki cie ti bonyugditi!
"Consider the ravens; they neither sow nor reap; they have no storehouse nor barn. And yet God feeds them. How much more are you worth than the birds?
25 I siiga, ŋma ba fidi ki fagni o miali bá a dana waamu?
"And which of you by taking anxious thought can add a cubit to his height?
26 I ya ya bani ke i kan fidi ki tieni yaali n waa ki cie ne, be ya po i ke i maali yaali n sieni kuli po o?
"If then you cannot do even that which is least, why are you anxious concerning the rest?
27 Diidi mani ti puudi ń tie maama, tii tuuni, tii pia gaalu mo, ama bá o badciamo Salomɔn leni o kpiagdi, waa pundi bi siiga bá yengu ń bobi maama.
"Consider the lilies how they grow! They toil not, neither do they spin, yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 U Tienu ya bobindi u kuanu nni muadi yeni, tini yaadi ye dinne ke bi ba faa ki taa ti, ki kuuni u fanu nni, ki cuoni umu, li ki pia tama ke o ba bobni yi mo, oo yinba yaaba ya dudugdi n ki pia fuoma!
"Now if God so clothe the grass in the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
29 Da buali mani yin ba di yaali leni yin ba ñu yaali po, ki go da yagni i yama.
"So do not be asking what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, and be not of doubtful mind.
30 Kelima ŋanduna dogi kuli lingi lanya bona i, ke i Báa moko bani ke i bua li bona.
"For all these things the nations of the world are seeking; but your Father knows that you have need of these things.
31 Ama yin lingi mani o diema, i ba baa lanya bona ki pugni
"But seek his kingdom, and these things shall be added to you.
32 Da jie mani ba waamu, kelima i Báa pali mani ke wan puni yi o diema.
"Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Kuadi mani i piama, ki puni a luoda li ligi. ŋali mani i po ya ligbɔgli n kan cadi, ŋaljanli nni ya ŋalmani yaali n ki pia gbenma.
"Sell what you have and give alms. Provide yourselves with purses which do not grow old, a treasure inexhaustible in the heavens, where no thief draws near, nor does moth destroy.
34 Kelima a ŋalmani ń ye naani, a pali mo ye lankani i.
"For where your treasure is there will your heart be also.
35 N̄agni mani i liadfagda u gbanñagdu, i fidsanmu ń ya tundi ki co;
"Let your loins be girded about and your lamps burning;
36 Yin ya tie nani ya niba n guu bi canbáa ń ba ña mi pocaajaama po, ki kpeni yeni, o ya pua li ganli ya yognu, ban kagni ki luodi o po.
"and be yourselves like men who are looking for the Lord, on his return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they may at once open the door for him.
37 Ya tuonsɔnba, ke bi canbáa ba pundi ki sua ke bi dá nua, bani baa mi yedŋanma n yeni. I mɔmɔni, n maadi yi, o ba ñagni o gaaligu u gbanñagdu, ki cedi ban kali u jedikaanu, wan tieni ba mi jiema ban je.
"Happy are those slaves whom their master shall find watching when he comes. I tell you truly that will gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and come and serve them.
38 Canbàa ya pundi yɔgsiigu bii siŋaafaani, ki sua ke bi cegni ki guu o, lan ya tuonsɔnba baa mi yedŋanma n yeni.
"And whether it be in the second watch, or in the third, that he comes, and so finds them, happy are those slaves.
39 Ama, min ba pugni yaali n ne, yin ya bani ke o diedaano ya bi bani ya yognu ke o suuro ba kua o deni ki suu o, o bi kan ŋa ban kua o deni ki su o,
"However, you know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not have allowed his house to be broken into.
40 Yin egni iba, ki ya guu kelimaa i ki baniO Ja bijua n ́ ba guaniya yognu.
"Do you also be ready, for in an hour that you think not the Son of man is coming."
41 Pieri ń buali: «O Diedo, a pua lan ya kpanjama tinba baba ya po bii, li tie yuakuli ya po i?»
"Master," said Peter, "are you speaking this parable to us or to all alike?"
42 O Diedo ń yedi: «O laa tuonsɔnlo i, ke o canbáa ba guuni ke wan ya diidi o tuonsɔnlieba tuona, ki puuni ba bi daali jiema lan buali ya yognu,
The Lord answered. "Who then is that faithful steward, the wise man whom his Lord will put in charge of the rations in due time?
43 o canbáa ya kpeni ki sua ke o tuuni lan buali maama, lanya tuonsɔnlo baa mi yedŋanma n yeni.
"Blessed is that slave whom his master on his coming shall find so doing.
44 I mɔmɔni n maadi yi, canbáa ba taa o piama kuli ki piani lanya tonsɔnlo.
"Of a truth I tell you that he will put him in charge of his possessions.
45 Ama li tuonsɔnlo ya maadi o pali nni: «N canbáa kpenma dá ba fagdi», ki ji cili ki pua o tuonsɔnlieba, bi jaba yeni bi puoba kuli, ki go cili ki di ki go ñu wan bua maama, ke mi daama ga o.
"But if that slave should say to himself, ‘My master delays his coming,’ and should begin to beat the men and the maids, and to eat and drink and to get drunk,
46 O ya tie yeni, o canbáa ba ti ludi ki kpeni wan ki guu o ya yognu, ki cedi ban pua ki duoli o kaani kuli, ki beli ki ñani o, ki kuani o bi tuonsɔbiadba danba siiga nni.
"that slave’s master will arrive on a day when he is not expecting him, and at an hour when he knows not, and will surely scourge him, and appoint him his portion with the unfaithful.
47 Nani li tuosɔnlo ń den bani o canbáa ń bili o ya tuonli yeni i, ki nan ki sɔni lan buali maama yeni i, o canbáa ba cedi ban pua o ya lanbana n yabi.
"The slave who knew his Lord’s will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, will be beaten with many lashes,
48 Ama, ya tuonsɔnlo n ki tuodi ki bani, ki sɔni ya tuonli n buali ke lan dadi o tubli ii, bi ba pua o lanbana waaamu. Ban teni yua ke li yabi, bi ba buali o yaali n yabi. Ban piani yua yaali n cie, bi ba buali o yaali n cie.
"but he who did not know, but did things worthy of a beating, will receive few lashes. To whom much has been given, from him much will be required, and to whom much is entrusted, of him they will ask the more.
49 «N cua ki tinga po ke min sia mu i. N sugni ke li mu ji co i.
"I came to build a fire upon the earth; what is my desire?
50 N pia mi ñinwulma, ke bi ba wuli nni. I ki bani min bua tonma maama, ke li kuli ń tieni ki tii.
"Would it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I straitened till it is accomplished!
51 I tama ke n cua ki tinga po yeni mi yanduanma yo oo? N n! I mɔmɔni, n maadi yi, n cua yeni mi paadma i.
"Do you think that I am come to make peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather dissension.
52 Kelimaa, lan cili mɔlane, dieyengu nni, niba mu ba paadi, niba lie ń kɔni yeni niba taa; niba taa mo ń kɔni yeni niba lie.
"From this time there will be five in one house divided, three against two and two against three;
53 Bi ba paadi bibáa ń kɔni yeni o bijaba, a bila mo ń kɔni yeni bibáa. Binaá ba kɔni yeni o bisiaba, a bisala mo ń kɔni yeni binaá. Calnaá ba kɔni yeni o biyuaga, ki biyuaga ń kɔni yeni calnaá.»
"father against son and son against father; mother against daughter and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter- in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
54 Jesu go den maadi ku niwulgu yaali ne: «I ya la taayinbɔnu puoli, i yi maadi: “Ki taaga ba nii!” Lan go tieni yeni.
Then he said to the crowd also. "When you see a cloud rising in the west you at once say, ‘There is going to be a shower,’ and it comes to pass.
55 Mi faawaama ya fii nintuali, i yi maadi: “Ku wulgu ba tieni!” Lan go tua yeni.
"And when you feel the south winds blowing you say, ‘There will be a hot wind,’ and it comes to pass.
56 Yinba i muyiidmu ne! I fidi ki diidi ki tinga maalma yeni tanpoli maalma, ki bandi a bona. Li nan tieni ledi i, ke yi ki fidi ki bandi U tienu n ́ bobindi yaali mɔlane?
"Hypocrites! you know how to read the face of the earth and of the sky; but how is it that you do not know how to read the signs of the present time?
57 Li tieni ledi i, ke yi kan fidi ki tuodi ki cegni yaali n tiegi i po mɔlane?
"And why do you not, even yourselves, judge what is right?
58 A ya caa ti buudi yeni a yibali, ŋan mɔndi ki mangi yeni o u sanu nni, wan da ti cedi ti buudi yudanba ń buu ki cuo a, ban mubni a bi paatieba nui nni, ban luoni a li kpaadidieli nni.
"For as you go before the magistrate with your opponent do your utmost to get quit of him, lest he drag you before the judge, and the judge delivers you over to the officer, and the officer cast you into prison.
59 N maadi a, a kan ña li kpaadidieli nni, kaa pani a pana kuli ki gbeni.»
"You shall by no means come out of there until you have paid the very last farthing."
