Luke 7
1 When he had ended all his discourse in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.
Jesu n den maadi ya niba n maadi opo ya maama n tie na kuli ki gbeni, o den kua Kapenayuma dogu nni.
2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and about to die.
Mintela kobiga yudaano yendo den ye ki pia o naacemo ke o tie opo numoano, ke o yia ŋali ki bua ki kpe.
3 And having heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, and besought him to come and save his servant.
O yudaano yeni n den gbadi ke bi maadi Jesu maama, o den soani Jufinba nukpeliba bi tianba o kani ke ban mia o wan cua ki faabi o naacemo.
4 And they came to Jesus, and besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldst do this for him;
Bi den pundi Jesu kani ki mia o ki moandi wan da yie ki yedi: “O joa yeni pundi ŋan ŋanbi opo,
5 for he loveth our nation, and himself built the synagogue for us.
kelima o bua ti buolu. Wani n maa tipo li balimaama bangima dieli.”
6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof;
Jesu den yegi leni ba ki caa. Wan den kuli a minteela yudaano diegu, o den tuogi wan den soani o danlinba yaaba o kani ke ban yedi o: “N daano, da coagi a yuli, mii pundi ŋan kua n dieli nni.
7 on which account I did not think myself worthy to come to thee; but command with a word, and let my servant be healed.
Lanyaapo moko n teni ke mii sua ke li pundi min cua a kani mini nba. Maadi a maama bebe, n naacemo baa paagi.
8 For even I am a man set under authority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
Mini yua ke nitoaba die nni, n moko pia min die ya minteela. n yen yedi one: 'Gedi,' wan gedi, ki yedi o yua mo: 'Cua na,' wan cua. N yen yedi n naacemo: 'Tieni line,' wan tieni.”
9 And Jesus hearing this, wondered at him; and turning round said to the multitude that followed him, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found such faith.
Jesu n den gbadi laa maama, li den tie opo bonlidinkaala, de ki mangi o. O den jigidi ki yedi ya niligu n ŋua o: “N waani yi ke baa Isalele yaaba siiga, n daa laa ya dandancianli n yene buolu.”
10 And they who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well.
Wan den soani yaaba n den lebidi ki pundi denpo, bi den sua ke ya naacemo n bi yia yeni pia laafia.
11 And it came to pass the day after, that he was going to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples were with him, and a great multitude.
Lani n pendi Jesu den gedi Nayina dogu. O ŋoadikaaba leni nigocianli den yegi leni o.
12 And as he came near the gate of the city, lo! there was carried out dead an only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a great multitude from the city was with her.
Jesu n den nagini u dogu bilinciamu buliñoajabu, o den tuogi yaaba n ñani lienni ki tugi o kpiemo ki baan piini. Yua n kpe yeni den tie o naa tugu nni bonjayenyenga, ke o naa mo tie kpepuoli. U dogu yaaba boncianla den yegi leni o.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not.
O Diedo n den laa o, mi niŋima den cuo o opo ke o yedi: “Da buudi.”
14 And he came up, and touched the bier; and they who bore it stood still; and he said, Young man, I say to thee, Rise.
O den nagini ki sii ku tinkpikpagu. Yaaba n tugi den sedi. O den yedi: “O jawaalo na, n yedi a: 'Fii.'”
15 And he that was dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
Lani yua kpe yeni den fii ki kali ki maadi. Jesu den teni o o naa.
16 And fear seized on all, and they gave glory to God, saying, A great prophet hath risen up among us; and, God hath visited his people.
Li fangicianli den cuo laa niba kuli, bi den kpiagidi U Tienu ki tua: “O sawalipuaciamo fii ti siiga. U Tienu goandi o nibuolu.”
17 And this report about him went forth in all Judaea, and in all the neighboring country.
Jesu n den tieni yaala yeni kuli ya maama den yadi Jude nni leni ya tinmu n lindi kuli.
18 And the disciples of John told him all these things.
Jan ŋoadikaaba den togidi o laa bonla kuli.
19 And calling to him two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?
O den yini bi siiga ŋoadikaaba lie ki soani ba Jesu kani, ke ban yedi o: “Naani a tie yua n den baa cua bi, bi ti da go baa guudi nitoa yo?”
20 And the men came to him and said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?
Bi jaba yeni n den pundi Jesu kani bi den yedi o: “Jan Batisi n soani ti a kani ke tin buali a fini n ya tie tin gu yua ya cuama bi, bi ke ti da go ya baa daani nitoa yo?”
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many who were blind he gave sight.
Lanyogunu Jesu den paagi a yiama leni a tadima leni mu cicibiadimu n die yaaba kuli boncianla, ki go noadi a juama moko boncianla.
22 And he answered and said to them, Go and tell John what ye have seen and heard; that the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor good tidings are brought;
O den goa ki yedi Jan tondiba: “Guani mani ki ban togidi Jan yin gba ki go nua yaala: A juama noadi, a waba cuoni, a gbaada ŋanbidi, a woma gba, bi tinkpiba fiidi a luoda mo gba o laabaaliŋamo.
23 and blessed is he, whoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.
Li pamanli ye leni min kaa tie yua yaapo tingbali bonla.”
24 And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What have ye gone out into the wilderness to see? the reeds shaken by the wind?
Jan tondiba n den ñani Jesu kani ya yogunu, o den maadi ku niligu Jan maama ki yedi: “Yi den gedi mi fanpienma po ki ban laa be? Yua n tie nani u faalu n liebi ya ñinmuagu bi?
25 But what have ye gone out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Lo! they who wear gorgeous apparel, and live luxuriously, are in kings' palaces.
To, yi nan den gedi ki ban laa be? Yua n bobi ti tiaŋandi bi? Diidi ki le mani yaaba n yie ti tiaŋandi wani ye bi badicianba diedi nni.
26 But what have ye gone out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
Yi nan den li gedi ki baa le be? O sawalipualo bi? Yeni de, ama n waani yi ke yin ban laa yua cie ba sawalipualo.
27 This is he of whom it is written, “Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.”
Wani yaapo yo ke li diani ki yedi: 'Diidi, n soani n tondo a liiga, ke wan ŋanbi a sanu.'
28 I say to you, Among those born of women there is no greater prophet than John; but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
N go yedi yi ke pua n mali yua kuli, yua n cie Jan ki ye. Ama yua n wa ki cie bi kuli U Tienu diema nni, wani n yaba ki cie o.
29 And all the people when they heard him, and the publicans, acknowledged God as righteous by being baptized with the baptism of John.
Ya niba n den cengi o kuli leni bi lubigaaba kuli den saa U Tienu po moamoani ki cedi ke Jan batisi ba.
30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God toward themselves, not being baptized by him.
Ama Falisieninba leni li balimaama bangikaaba n den yie ke Jan kan batisi ba yeni, bi den yie U Tienu n den jagi ki bili bipo yaala.”
31 To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like?
Jesu den pugini ki yedi: “N baa nandi moala na nuba leni be? Bi naani leni be?
32 They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another, saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance; we sung a dirge, and ye did not weep.
Bi naani leni ya bila n ka ki daaga nni ki yi bi yaba ki tua: 'Ti piebi yipo mu yelimu, ke yii jeli ki ciaga. Ti yiini yipo i kuyani, yi naa buudi.'
33 For John the Baptist hath come not eating bread, nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.
Kelima Jan Batisi cua, waa di jiema, waa ñu duven mo, ke yi tua: 'O pia ki cicibiadiga.'
34 The Son of man hath come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a glutton and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
O Joa Bijua mo cua ki di ki go ñu ke yi tua: 'Diidi ki le, O tie jiejiedo leni dañolo, ki ti bi lubigaaba leni i tagibiadi danba kuli ya danli.'
35 But wisdom is acknowledged by all her children.
Yaaba n tuo U Tienu yanfuoma kuli saa i moamoani ke mi tiegi.”
36 And one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him; and he went into the Pharisee's house, and reclined at the table.
Falisieninba siiga yendo den yini Jesu wan je leni o. Jesu den kua o diegu nni ki kali u saajekaanu kani.
37 And lo! a woman who was in the city, a sinner, learning that he was at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster-bottle of ointment,
O pua den ye u dogu nni ke o tagu bia. Wan den bandi ke Jesu ye Falisieni yeni deni ki di, o den taa ya tanli n yi alibati ya buteliga ke gbie leni tulale,
38 and standing behind at his feet, weeping, began to wet his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
ki cua ki sedi Jesu puoli po o taana kani ke o kpaagi li bonkalikaala po. O pua yeni den buudi ke o ninsiidi cuudi ki soangi Jesu taana ke o duuni a leni o yudi ki waliti a ki suogi a tulale.
39 And the Pharisee who had invited him, when he saw this, said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would know who, and what sort of woman, this is that toucheth him; for she is a sinner.
Ya falisieni n den yini Jesu n den laa lani, o den yedi o yama nni: “One ya bi tie sawalipualo moamoani o bi baa bandi ya pua n sii o na n tie yua, leni o tagu n tie maama, ke o tie tagibiadu daano.”
40 And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.
Lani Jesu den yedi Falisieni yeni: “Simono, n pia mi maama ki baa maadi a,” Simono den goa ki yedi o: “Canbaa, maadi.”
41 A certain money-lender had two debtors; one owed five hundred denaries, and the other fifty.
Jesu den yedi o: “O pandinlo den ye ki pia pandanba lie. One den kubi opo kujapiena kobi muu, o lielo mo kujapiena piimuu.
42 When they had nothing to pay, he freely remitted the debt of both. Which of them, now, will love him the most?
Ban kaa den pia liba ki baa pa, o den cabi bani niba lie yeni kuli bi pana. Bani niba lie yeni siiga, ŋme baa bua o ki cie o yua?”
43 Simon answering said, He, I suppose, to whom he remitted the most. And he said to him, Thou hast judged rightly.
Simono den goa ki yedi o: “N tama wan cabi yua ke o panli yaba ki cie yene.” Jesu den yedi o: “A saa i moamoani.”
44 And turning to the woman, he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered thy house, no water didst thou give me for my feet; but she wet my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.
Lani o den gbegi ki diidi o pua yeni ki go yedi Simono: “A laa o pua na? Min kua a dieli nni, ŋaa puni nni ñima ke n nigidi n taana, ama wani, o nigidi n taana leni o ninsiidi ki go duuni a leni o yudi.
45 No kiss didst thou give me; but she, from the time I came in, did not cease to kiss my feet.
Haa gobini nni leni mi buama, ama wani, ŋali min kua, o li waliti n taana yo, waa cedi.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she anointed my feet with costly ointment.
Haa wuli n yuli po kpama, ama wani, o suogi n taana leni tulale yua ya dunga n pa.
47 Wherefore, I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loveth little.
Lanyaapo n yedi a ke wan bua nni boncianla yeni doagidi ke o baa sugili o tuonbiadi yaadi n yaba po. Yua n baa sugili ya tuonbiadi n wa po mo bua waamu bebe.”
48 And he said to her, Thy sins have been forgiven.
O den yedi o pua mo: “A baa a tuonbiadi sugili.”
49 And those who were at table with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?
Yaaba n den taani ki di leni o den maliti bi pala nni: “One tie ŋme ki puuni sugili ti tuonbiadi po?”
50 But he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
Jesu go den yedi o pua yeni: “A dandanli faabi a, fii ki ya caa leni mi yanduanma.”
