Luka 18
1 Ki fiddi ki waani ki jaandi tie bonmonli, k tin ya jaandi ki da wadi ti pala, jesu pua o ŋɔdikaaba mi maa kpanjama:
And he made a story for them, the point of which was that men were to go on making prayer and not get tired;
2 O dogu nni den pia buud daano ba, ko k jie U Tienu k gɔ cengi nulo.
Saying, There was a judge in a certain town, who had no fear of God or respect for man:
3 K li dogu nni gɔ bo pia pakuali pokuuli ba ko tundi ki ŋua'gu k wan kun'o i mɔni o yibali kani.
And there was a widow in that town, and she kept on coming to him and saying, Give me my right against the man who has done me wrong.
4 Ti buudi daan'o ne bo ki ceng'o hali k li pan waagi. Ama ko ji te kali ki maal ki sua: “yeni i mɔni k n ki jie U Tienu, k tie lieba mi bua yaali.
And for a time he would not: but later, he said to himself, Though I have no fear of God or respect for man,
5 Li paakuali ne mabi nni boncianli, n bi jia o buudi k wan ŋaa nni mi fuodi.
Because this widow is a trouble to me, I will give her her right; for if not, I will be completely tired out by her frequent coming.
6 U Tienu pugini maadi: cengi mani, o buudi daano, faagu daano ne, n maadi yaali.
And the Lord said, Give ear to the words of the evil judge.
7 Ki li ya tie yeni, i ki bani ku Tienu ba kɔni o bid po, yaabi ko lugdi ba k bi dongi bi niali o po, yienu yen ñiagu, ko kan todi ba?
And will not God do right in the cause of his saints, whose cries come day and night to his ears, though he is long in doing it?
8 Min n maadi ti ko bi kɔn bi po, ya tie ko nulo bija ya te guani, o gɔ bi la li dindanli i tinga ne po.
I say to you that he will quickly do right in their cause. But when the Son of man comes, will there be any faith on earth?
9 O gɔ den pua ya maa kpanjam ne ke li nua yaab n yi bi ba nimɔma, ki nan ji nundi bi lieba:
And he made this story for some people who were certain that they were good, and had a low opinion of others:
10 Nib lie bo gedi o jandiegu nni ki bi jaandi: yendi bo tie farisien ko lielo tie lonpo gaalo.
Two men went up to the Temple for prayer; one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-farmer.
11 Farisien bo se ki jaandi o pali nni: U Tienu, n tiend'a balgi yen min ki kpiini, k k pua faagu, k k conmi nani nlieba yeni, nan o lonpo gaalo ne yeni.
The Pharisee, taking up his position, said to himself these words: God, I give you praise because I am not like other men, who take more than their right, who are evil-doers, who are untrue to their wives, or even like this tax-farmer.
12 N co u ñɔbu taalm lie dana lele siigin ni, n tien taal piiga po mu ŋalimanu talgi nba.
Twice in the week I go without food; I give a tenth of all I have.
13 O lonpo gaalo ne wani bo se fagma ki taabi, k kan tuo ki yaadi ba o yuli tapoli po. Ama, o bo fabini o pali ni ke maadi: n Tienu diidi yen mi nuñima kelima n tie biidi daano
The tax-farmer, on the other hand, keeping far away, and not lifting up even his eyes to heaven, made signs of grief and said, God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
14 N maadi, U Tienu tuo ki gaali o lonpo daano ki cie farisien. Kelima, yua dongi o ba, bi bu jiin'o, yua jiindi o ba, bi baa dongi wani.
I say to you, This man went back to his house with God's approval, and not the other: for everyone who makes himself high will be made low and whoever makes himself low will be made high.
15 B niba bo baadi yeni bi bidi jesu kani, k wan yadi mi yediŋanma bi po. Ama ko ŋɔdikaabi bieli ba.
And they took their children to him, so that he might put his hands on them: but when the disciples saw it, they said sharp words to them
16 K jesu yinba ki maadi ba: yin cedi mani ban cua n kani, da bieli'b mani, kelima yaabi n yeni U Tienu deni tie nani ban yeni.
But Jesus sent for them, saying, Let the children come to me, and do not keep them away, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
17 I mɔni po n maadi: yua k ga u Tienu diema nani i biga ne yeni, o kan bangi kua U Tienu diema nni.
Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.
18 Yeni k Kpaagl ba tieni i buali: ... canbaa mɔn, mi baa tieni ledi k la ya miali ki pia gbema? (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler put a question to him, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 K jesu ŋmiani o: be cedi ka yin nni canbaa mɔn nni? Nul ki mɔni li ya ki U Tienu baba yaa ka.
And Jesus said to him, Why do you say that I am good? No one is good, but only God.
20 A bani U Tienu ñɔmaama: a kan conmi, a kan kpa nulo, akan su, ŋan cedi janmi buudi, ki cɔnlini a náa yeni a baà.
You have knowledge of what the law says: Do not be untrue to your wife, Do not put anyone to death, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Give honour to your father and mother.
21 Ki li ja ŋmiani: n cɔnlini lio kuli k da tie biga.
And he said, All these things I have done from the time when I was a boy.
22 Yeni jesu maadi: a gɔ da sieni bonyenli: kuadi ŋan pia yaali kuli, k tugi li ligi kuli ki bɔgdi talgi nba, li puoli po ŋan ya ŋuan nni.
And Jesus, hearing it, said to him, One thing you still have need of; get money for your goods, and give it away to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; and come after me.
23 Wan gbadi yeni ko pali kuli wadi kelima li ja bo tie ŋaliman daani
But at these words he became very sad, for he had great wealth.
24 Jesu den la ko pali wadi ko maadi: li pa boncianli yen ŋalman daano n kua U Tienu diema nni
And Jesus, looking at him, said, How hard it is for those who have wealth to get into the kingdom of God!
25 li ki pa ku yuoyuogu n kua kpalipimu bonli, k cie yen ŋalma daano n kua U Tienu diema n
It is simpler for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a man who has much money to come into the kingdom of God.
26 Ki bi niba yen kuli taani ki buali: ŋmaa nan b la li maa kan gbedigu?
And those who were present said, Then who may have salvation?
27 K jesu ŋmian o: yaali n pa bi niba po, k pa U Tienu po
But he said, Things which are not possible with man are possible with God.
28 Yeni k Pieri buali: k tinba i? ti ŋa tin pia yaali kuli k ŋua ŋa
And Peter said, See, we have given up what is ours to come after you.
29 K jesu maadi ba: ... i mɔn po n maadi ki yua ŋa o deni, o pua, o ninjaba, o bidi, o naataani kuli k dugni U Tienu diema po.
And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house or wife or brothers or father or mother or children, because of the kingdom of God,
31 Jesu bo tugi o ŋɔdikaaba piig n bonbilie k piadi yenba ki maadi ba: diidi mani, t do Serusalem n yen, ko Tienu tondi n bo dian yaali o nulo bijua po kuli ji bu tieni.
And he took with him the twelve and said to them, Now we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things which were said by the prophets will be done to the Son of man.
32 Bi bu cuogu ki mubin'o yaabi ki bani U Tienu nuguni, ban laagu, k sugd'o, k sii ti ñɔsɔndi o po.
For he will be given up to the Gentiles, and will be made sport of and put to shame:
33 Bi ba puagu, ki kpaagu. Dana ta daali o bu yiedi
And he will be given cruel blows and put to death, and on the third day he will come back to life.
34 O ŋɔdkaaba bo ki gbadi li maama niima nni, kelima li pa bi po yen ban gbadi li maama. Bi ji bo ki bani jesu n bua maadi yaali li po
But they did not take in the sense of any of these words, and what he said was not clear to them, and their minds were not able to see it.
35 Jesu n bo nagi seriko, o juamo bo kaa o sankuni ki miadi.
And it came about that when he got near Jericho, a certain blind man was seated by the side of the road, making requests for money from those who went by.
36 Wan gbadi li ñɔgli o sanu po, ko buali yaali tieni.
And hearing the sound of a great number of people going by, he said, What is this?
37 Ki bi ŋmian'o ki jesu n pedi.
And they said to him, Jesus of Nazareth is going by.
38 Yeni ko cili ki yigni yeni o paalu: ... jesu, Dafiid bijua, diidn yen nunbaagu.
And he said in a loud voice, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
39 Yaabi bo ye liiga bo maad'o, k wan suoni, ama ko ŋanbi k yigni: Dafiid bijua diidn yen nunbaagu.
And those who were in front made protests and said to him, Be quiet: but he said all the more, O Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 Ki jesu cedi k bi ba yen'o o kani, wan pundi ya yogunu, ki jesu bual'o:
And Jesus, stopping, gave orders that he was to come to him, and when he came near, he said to him,
41 A bua k min tieni be k ten'a i? ko juamo ŋmian'o: n diedo, cedi ki mi nuali.
What would you have me do for you? And he said, Lord, that I may be able to see again.
42 A bu fidi ki nuali, kelima a dindanli paag'a.
And Jesus said, See again: your faith has made you well.
43 L yogunu ko nuali, ki ji ŋua jesu ki dondi U Tienu. Ban la yaali n tieni ne, ko nuwuligu kuli mɔ ji dondi U Tienu.
And straight away he was able to see, and he went after him, giving glory to God; and all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.
