Matthew 19
1 At the conclusion of this teaching, Jesus withdrew from Galilee, and went into that district of Judea which is on the other side of the Jordan.
Yesu n gbenio maama ke o ñani Galile ki gedi Sude.
2 Great crowds followed him, and he cured them there.
Bi niba boncianli bo ŋua'o ke o gɔ paagi ba li kani.
3 Presently some Pharisees came up to him, and, to test him, said, “Has a man the right to divorce his wife for every cause?”
Falisiani -nba bo ŋɔdi ki bual'o yiko cabi ke je n ñani o denpua li ya sua ke b cuo biidi ba kuli po?
4 “Haven’t you read,” replied Jesus, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’
Ke Jesu ŋmiani ki yedi: i ki cogi ke yua bo tagi ba ki ciligi bo tagi bojal yeni bonñua.
5 and said – ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother, and be united to his wife, and the man and his wife will become one’?
ki gua maadi: Lani yaa po i ke o ja baa ña o báa yeni o naá kani ki gedi wani yeni o denpua n taani ki ya tie gbananyendi.
6 So that they are no longer two, but one. What God himself, then, has yoked together people must not separate.”
Bi ji kaa tie nibilie ama niyendo. Lan nilo n daa paadi u Tienu n taani yaala.
7 “Why, then,” they said, “did Moses direct that a man should serve his wife with a notice of separation and divorce her?”
B yedi 'o: Be n cedi ke Moyisi cabike t tieni m yiema tili.
8 “Moses, owing to the hardness of your hearts,” answered Jesus, “permitted you to divorce your wives, but that was not so at the beginning.
Ke o yedi ba: i pala n juagi yeni ya po i ke Moyisi cabi i ke yi yadi yeni i puoba ama ki ciliga li bo tie yeni.
9 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of some serious sexual sin, and marries another woman, is guilty of adultery.”
n maadi yi: yua beli o denpua ke laa tie conconma po ki taa puotiani tieni u subu ya ja gua taa pua yua ke bi bel'o mɔ gua tieni conconbu i.
10 “If that,” said the disciples, “is the position of a man with regard to his wife, it is better not to marry.”
Ke o ŋɔdikaaba maadi'o: Li ya tie n yeni opua yeni o ja kani laa ŋani yeni nilo n kua pua.
11 “It is not everyone,” replied Jesus, “who can accept this teaching, but only those who have been enabled to do so.
Ama ke Yesu maadi ba: Yua kuli kaa baa fidi tui li tundili, ama yaaba baba ke li cabi ke ban gbadi li niima nni.
12 Some men are incapable of marriage because they were born that way, or have been made so by other people, while there are others who stay single for the sake of the kingdom of Heaven. Accept this if you can.”
kelima b tɔbi ye ki mali kaa pia u maalu. ke b tiaba mɔ bi niba n beli bi t madi. ke niba gɔ ye ke li tie ke bani mɔno n beli bi ba t madi ki dugini u Tienu diema po. Yua ba fidi ki gbadi li tundili ne wan gbadi.
13 Then some little children were brought to Jesus, for him to place his hands on them, and pray; but the disciples found fault with those who had brought them.
Ke bi niba cua yeni a bila ke wan maani o nuugi bi po ki jaani. Ama ke o ŋɔdikaaba bo bieli li niba.
14 Jesus, however, said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for it is to the childlike that the kingdom of heaven belongs.”
Ke Yesu yedi ba: ŋaa mani a bila k daa beli ba ke ban cua n kani. Kelima yaaba n naani yeni a bila n die u Tienu diema.
15 So he placed his hands on them, and then went on his way.
ke o maani o nuugi bi po ki siedi li kani.
16 A man came up to Jesus, and said, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Ke jka ba cua Yesu kani ki maadi: canbaa n baa tieni ki laa tuadiŋanli ki bàà ya miali ki pia gbenma i. (aiōnios g166)
17 “Why ask me about goodness?” answered Jesus. “There is but One who is good. If you want to enter the life, keep the commandments.”
ke Yesu maadi'o: Be cedi ke a buali'n i buali ŋanmi i? Bonyenli baba n ye. Ama a ya bua ŋan ya miali ki pia gbenma ŋan tuo u Tienu ñɔmaama.
18 “What commandments?” asked the man. “These,” answered Jesus, – “‘You must not kill. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not say what is false about others.
Ke o ja yeni maadi 'o: ki laa ñɔmaama po i? ke Yesu maadi: ŋan daa kpa nilo, ŋan daa dua yeni nutiani denpua, daa su, daa pua faama nilo ba po,
19 Honor your father and your mother.’ And ‘You must love your neighbor as you love yourself.’”
ŋan fangi a báa yeni a naá, ŋan buadi a lielo nani fini a ba yeni.
20 “I have observed all these,” said the young man. “What is still wanting in me?”
Ke o ja yeni maadi 'o: n cɔlini lan kuli. n gɔ baa tieni be i
21 “If you wish to be perfect,” answered Jesus, “go and sell your property, and give to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; then come and follow me.”
Ke Yesu yedi: a ya bua ŋan tua ya nilo k pia biidi, kudi ŋan pia yaala kuli ki puni b taladidanba. Yeni a baa bàà ŋalimani tanpoli. ki ji cua ki ŋɔdi n.
22 On hearing these words, the young man went away distressed, for he had great possessions.
O ja yeni n bo gbadi Yesu n maadi yaala kuli ke o siedi ke o pali ki mangi. Kelima o tie yua pia ŋaliman bonciala.
23 At this, Jesus said to his disciples, “I tell you that a rich person will find it hard to enter the kingdom of heaven!
Ke Yesu maadi o ŋɔdikaaba: i mɔnmɔni po i yedi yi: li paa yeni o ŋalimandaano n kua u Tienu diema nni.
24 I say again, it is easier for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven!”
n gɔ maadi yi: li kaa paa u yuoyuogu po ke wan kua u pundu bonli nani ama li kan ya tie yeni o ŋalimandaano po.
25 On hearing this, the disciples exclaimed in great astonishment, “Who then can possibly be saved?”
O ŋɔdikaaba n bo gbadi lio maama li bo cuo ba yaalidigu. ke bi maadi: ŋmaa ji baa fidi báá m fuoma i?
26 But Jesus looked at them, and said, “With people this is impossible, but with God everything is possible.” Then Peter turned and said to Jesus,
Ke Jesu nuali ba ki maadi: Bi niba kani li kan fidi ama u Tienu kani li baa fidi tieni.
27 “But we – we left everything, and followed you; what, then, will we have?”
Ke Piali jiin'o ki maadi: diidi t ŋaa t bona kuli ki ŋua ŋa; t mɔ baa bàà be i?
28 “I tell you,” answered Jesus, “that at the new creation, when the Son of Man takes his seat on his throne of glory, you who followed me will be seated on twelve thrones, as judges of the twelve tribes of Israel.
Ke Jesu yedi: Yeni i mɔnmɔni yinba yaaba n ŋɔdi nni m yenpanma yogu ya yogu ke o nilo bijua baa t kaa li bali kpagili po yeni o yudandi. i mɔ t baa kaa isaraheli cuga piiga n bona lie yeni nni ki bu li cuga piiga n bona lie.
29 Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or land, for my sake, will receive many times as much, and will gain eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Nilo yua kuli ŋaa o deni, o kpiiba, o baá yeni o naá, yeni o bila, bii o tinga n yeli po baa gaa m ŋanma taalm kobiga ki gɔ bàà li miali yua k pia gbenma. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many who are first now will then be last, and those who are last will be first.
Ama yaaba n bo tie nikpialla mɔla ne ji baa juodi ke yaaba n bo juodi n tua kpialia.
