Luke 18
1 And he spoke also a parable to them to the purport that they should always pray and not faint,
Jesu den pua ba mi kpanjama ki baa waani ba ke li pundi wan ya jaandi yogunu kuli ki da cedi bi gbani n wudi.
2 saying, There was a judge in a city, not fearing God and not respecting man:
O den yedi: “O bujialo den ye u dogu nni kaa jie U Tienu, kaa fangi niloba mo.
3 and there was a widow in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of mine adverse party.
Li kpepuoli moko den ye u dogu yeni niinni ki yen kpendi ki miadi o ki tua: 'Han tu npo n koaginkoa n panli.'
4 And he would not for a time; but afterwards he said within himself, If even I fear not God and respect not man,
O bujialo den waagi ki yiedi. Li ya puoli o den ti maadi o yuli ki yedi: 'Baa ke mii jie U Tienu kaa fangi niloba mo,
5 at any rate because this widow annoys me I will avenge her, that she may not by perpetually coming completely harass me.
li kpepuoli na coagini nni maama na, n baa tuu opo o panli, yeni yaaka, o li baa kpendi ki coagini nne.'”
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.
O Diedo den pugini ki yedi: “Yi gbadi o bujiabiado yeni n yedi yaala.
7 And shall not God at all avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, and he bears long as to them?
N buali yi, naani U Tienu kan tuu wan gandi yaaba po bi panli, bani yaaba n kpaani ki miadi o u yensiinu leni ki ñiagu kuli bi? Naani o baa waagi ki kan todi ba?
8 I say unto you that he will avenge them speedily. But when the Son of man comes, shall he indeed find faith on the earth?
N kadi ki waani yi, o baa jaligi ki tuu bipo bi panli. Ama naani o Joa Bijua yaa goa ki cua ŋanduna nni, naani o baa le li dandanli bi?”
9 And he spoke also to some, who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and made nothing of all the rest [of men], this parable:
Jesu go pua ba mi naa kpanjama kelima bi nitianba yaaba n pagi bi yula ke bi tiega, ki fali yaaba n sieni yaapo.
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer.
O den yedi: “Niba lie den gedi U Tienu diegu nni ki baa jaandi. O yendo den tie Falisieni, o lielo mo lubigaalo.
11 The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus to himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer.
Falisieni yeni den sedi ki jaandi o pali nni ki yedi: 'U Tienu, n tuondi a kelima mii ta leni ya niba n sieni ki tie sugida, leni bi nibiadiba, leni mi conconma danba, n tuondi a ke mii taa leni ya lubigaalo n tie na moko.
12 I fast twice in the week, I tithe everything I gain.
Dana lele siiga kuli n luo bu ñoabu dana lie. N ñandi n dim n bonbaakaala kuli nni.'
13 And the tax-gatherer, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, have compassion on me, the sinner.
O lubigaalo yeni mo den poadi ki sedi foagima, kaa tuo ki baa yaadi ki noanli tanpoli. O den pua o benli ki yedi: 'U Tienu, gbadi npo mi niŋima, mini yua n tie ti tuonbiadi daano.'”
14 I say unto you, This [man] went down to his house justified rather than that [other]. For every one who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
Jesu den pugini ki yedi: “N waani yi i moamoani ke wani n den kuni o denpo ke U Tienu saa opo i moamoani ke o tiegi, ama Falisieni yeni wani ki den baa. Kelima yua n fiini o yuli kuli, U Tienu baa jiini o, yua n jiini o yuli mo U Tienu baa fiini o.”
15 And they brought to him also infants that he might touch them, but the disciples when they saw [it] rebuked them.
Bi niba den kpendi nni a canpanda Jesu kani ke wan sii ba. O ŋoadikaaba n den laa lani bi den fu leni yaaba n kpendi nni ba.
16 But Jesus calling them to [him] said, Suffer little children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.
Ama Jesu den teni ke bi cuani ba ki yedi: “Cedi mani a biwaala n cua n kani ki da deli ba, kelima U Tienu diema tie yaaba n tie nani a biwaala yene po.
17 Verily I say to you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
N waani yi i moamoani ke yua n kaa tuo U Tienu diema nani ki biwaaga yeni kan kua lienni.”
18 And a certain ruler asked him saying, Good teacher, having done what, shall I inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
Jufinba yudaano yendo den buali Jesu ki yedi o: “O canbaanŋamo, n baa tieni be ki baa ya miali n kan gbeni?” (aiōnios g166)
19 But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, God.
Jesu den goa ki yedi o: “Be yaapo ke a yini nni niŋama? U Tienu bebe yaaka oba kuli ki ŋani.
20 Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
A bani li balimaama n bili yaala: Han da conbi, ŋan da kpa nilo, ŋan da su, ŋan da tieni mi siedi-faama, ŋan jigini a baa leni a naa.'”
21 And he said, All these things have I kept from my youth.
O joa yeni den goa ki yedi: “N kubi lankuli ŋali n biwaama nni.”
22 And when Jesus had heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking to thee yet: Sell all that thou hast and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens, and come, follow me.
Jesu n den gbadi lani o den yedi o: “Bonyenla n da go poadi a po. Han kuadi ŋan pia yaala ki boagidi a luoda li ligi, lane a baa pia ŋalimani tanpoli po. Lani ŋan cua ki ŋoadi nni.”
23 But when he heard this he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
O joa n den gbadi laa maama, o pali den biidi kelima o piama den yaba.
24 But when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, he said, How difficultly shall those who have riches enter into the kingdom of God;
Jesu den laa ke o pali biidi ki yedi: “Li pa ŋali boncianla a piada n baa ki kua U Tienu diema nni.
25 for it is easier for a camel to enter through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Ku yuoyuogu n tagini mi kpalipienbonma nni dingi ki cie o piado n kua U Tienu diema nni.”
26 And those who heard it said, And who can be saved?
Yaaba n den cengi o maama yeni den yedi: “Li ya tie yeni, ŋme nan baa fidi ki tindi?”
27 But he said, The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.
O den goa ki yedi: “Bi nisaaliba n kan fidi yaala U Tienu wani baa fidi la.”
28 And Peter said, Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee.
Lani, Pieli den yedi o: “Diidi ki le, tinba ti den fii ki ŋa tin pia yaala kuli ki ŋua ŋa.”
29 And he said to them, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left home, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
Jesu den yedi ba: “N waani yi i moamoani ke laa pia ya nilo n fii ki ŋa o dieli, yaaka o pua, yaaka o kpiiba, yaaka o danba, yaaka o bila kelima U Tienu diema po,
31 And he took the twelve to [him] and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written of the Son of man by the prophets shall be accomplished;
Jesu den taa bi piiga n niliediba ki piadi leni ba ki yedi: “Cengi mani ti do ki caa Jelusalema ke bi sawalipuaba n den diani yaala ke li maadi o Joa Bijua maama kuli baan tieni ki dudi.
32 for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon.
Bi baa cuo ki teni o bi nilanba. Bi baa ñuadi o, ki faligi o, ki sii opo ti ñinsandi,
33 And when they have scourged [him] they will kill him; and on the third day he will rise again.
ki pua o i baliji ki yuandi ki kpa o. Ama li dataali daali o baa fii bi tinkpiba siiga.”
34 And they understood nothing of these things. And this word was hidden from them, and they did not know what was said.
Bi ŋoadikaaba ki den ga liba kuli laa maama nni. O maama yeni den boani ba. Baa den ga Jesu n maadi yaala n bua ki yedi yaala.
35 And it came to pass when he came into the neighbourhood of Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the wayside begging.
Jesu n den nagini Jeliko, li sua ke o juamo ka u sankunu ki miadi.
36 And when he heard the crowd passing, he inquired what this might be.
O den gbadi ke ku niligu pendi ke o den buali lan tie yaala.
37 And they told him that Jesus the Nazaraean was passing by.
Bi den waani o ke Nasaleti yua Jesu n tagini ki baa pendi.
38 And he called out saying, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
O den kpaani: “Jesu, Dafidi Bijua, gbadi npo mi niŋima.”
39 And those [who were] going before rebuked him that he might be silent; but he cried out so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.
Yaaba n den cuoni Jesu liiga den funi leni o ke wan suo, ama o go den kpaani ki pugidi ki tua: “Dafidi Bijua, gbadi npo mi niŋima.”
40 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be led to him. And when he drew nigh he asked him [saying],
Jesu den sedi ki yedi ban cuani o o kani. O juamo n den nagini, Jesu den buali o ki yedi:
41 What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may see.
“A bua min tieni apo be?” O den goa ki yedi: “N daano, n bua ŋan teni min go ya nua.”
42 And Jesus said to him, See: thy faith has healed thee.
Jesu den yedi o: “A nuni n go ya nua, a dandanli paagi a.”
43 And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people when they saw [it] gave praise to God.
Lanyogunu o nuni go den noadi, ke o ŋoadi Jesu ki pagi U Tienu.
