Luka 12
1 Laa yogunu ku niligu den taani tuda tuda ŋali ki ŋmaadi bi yaba. Jesu den cili ki maadi leni o ŋoadikaaba ki yedi: “Fangi mani yi yula ki da kubi falisieninba dabinli, lani n tie palalie yantiali.
In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Liba kuli ki ye ki wuo ki kan wuodi. Liba kuli ki ye ki duagi ke bi kan bandi la.
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 Lanyaapo yin baa yedi yaala li biigili nni kuli, bi baa gbadi la u yensiinu. Yin baa soabidi yaala yi diena nni, bi baa kpaani la bi niba kuli n gbadi.
Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 Yinba n danlinba, n yedi yi, yin da jie mani yaala n baa kpa yi gbannandi ki nan kan fidi ki tieni yi bontoala.
And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 N baa waani yi yin baa jie yua. Ya jie mani yua n baa fidi ki kpa yi, ki go yuandi ki lu yi ku fantanbuogu nni. Yeni de, n yedi yi ke wani n tie yin baa jie yua. (Geenna g1067)
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath authority to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Baa kuadi nuani muu muu kaa kumu lie? Ama baa yeni, U Tienu kan sundi bi siiga nni ba yendo po.
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7 Yinba wani, baa yi yudi, U Tienu bani ti coali n da maama da jie mani pu kuli, yi pia mayuli ki cie i nuani boncianla.
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8 N yedi yi ke yua n tuo bi niba nintuali ke o tie n yua kuli, o Joa Bijua moko n baa tuo malekinba nintuali ke o tie n yua.
Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9 Ama yua n nia bi niba nintuali ke waa tie n yua, n moko baa nia o U Tienu malekinba nintuali ke waa tie n yua.
But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 Yua n maadi o Joa Bijua po yaala n bia baa baa sugili, ama yua n sugi U Tienu Fuoma Yua kan baa sugili.
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
11 Bi ya gedini li balimaama bangima diena nni, yaaka bi bujiaba kani, yaaka paatietoaba kani, ki baa jia leni yi ti buudi, yin da yagi mani yi yama leni yin baa maadi maama ki baa ga yi yula, leni yin baa yedi yaala kuli po,
And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and authorities, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12 kelima lanyogunu lige U Tienu Fuoma yua baa bangi yi yin baa yedi yaala.”
For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
13 Ku niligu siiga niyendo den yedi Jesu: “Canbaa, waani n kpelo wan boagidi ti baa n ŋa ya faali ki teni nni n biinu.”
And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 Jesu den goa ki yedi o: “N danli ŋme dini nni li bali min jia yipo yi maama, ki boagidi yi faali?”
And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 O go den yedi bi niba kuli: “Fangi mani yi yula bonŋanla leni mi ŋalimanbuama, kelima o nilo miali ki ŋua leni o ŋalimano n yaba maama.”
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16 Lani Jesu den pua ba mi kpanjama ki yedi: “O piado den ye ke o kuanu loni boncianla.
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 O den kpaagi ki yedi o pali nni: 'N baa tieni lede? Kelima mii pia min baa bili n kpaandi kuli naani.”
And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 O den goa ki yedi: 'N bani min baa tieni maama. N baa mumudi n buabuana ki goa ki maa ya n yaba ki cie, ki taani n kpaandi leni n piama kuli ki kuodi lienni.
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 Lani n baayedi n yuli: A pia mi piama ke li kandi ya bina n yaba po, ya fuo ki di ki go ñu ki mangidi a pali.'
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 Ama U Tienu den yedi o: O yanluodaano na dinla ya ñiagu liga n baa taa a naano ŋan bili yaala kuli baa tua ŋme ya yaala?”
But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 Jesu go den yedi: “Li tie yeni leni yua n taagi mi piama o yuceli po, ke o cima ki tie U Tienu po.”
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22 Li ya puoli jesu den yedi o ŋoadikaaba: Li tie lani yaapo ke n yedi yi, da yagi mani yi yama yi miana yema po, yin baa di yaala, leni yi gbannandi po yin baa yie yaala.
And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
23 Li miali cie mi jiema, ti gbannandi mo cie ti tiayiekaadi.
The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
24 Diidi mani a kankala, baa coagi, baa yendi, baa pia bilikaanu, baa pia buabuana. Leni lankuli U Tienu dindi ba. Ama yinba, yi pia mayuli boncianla ki cie ti bonyugiditi.
Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
25 Yi siiga ŋme yanyangidi n baa teni wan fidi ki foagidi o miali dana baa waanu?
And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
26 Yi ya kan fidi ki tieni ya bonla n wa yeni, be yaapo ke yi bangi yaala n sieni kuli po.
If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
27 Diidi mani mi moapuuma n ye maama, maa tuuni maa pia gaali, baa yeni, n yedi yi ke baa o bado Salomono leni o kpiagi ciandi kuli, waa den pundi mi siiga baa yenma n bobi maana.
Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 U Tienu ya bobindi ya muadi n ye ku muagu nni dinla ke bi baa fa ki taa ti ki cuoni mi fantama u fannu nni, laa pia kuli tama o baa yieni yi mo, yinba yaaba ya dandanli n ki yaba.
If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29 Da yagini mani yi yama leni yin baa di yaala lingina leni yin baa ñu yaala lingima.
And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30 Kelima ya nibuoli n ki ŋua U Tienu ŋanduna nni kuli n kuandi bi yama laa bonla nni. Yi Baa bani ke laa bonla tie yipo tiladi.
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 Ama yin kpa lingi mani U Tieni diema nni lani laabonla kuli baa pugini yi po.
But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
32 Da jie mani liba, fini ya yankulu n ki yaba, kelima li mani yi Baa wan pa yi mi diema.
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Kuadi mani yin pia yaala, ki pa a luoda yin kuadi ki ba ya ligi. Hanbi mani yi yula po tanpoli po ya ligiboagili n kan biidi leni ya ŋalimani n kaa pia gbenma, a sugida n kan nagini naankani, ti lulugidi mo n kan lugi ki bolini naankani.
Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
34 Kelima yi ŋalimani n ye naankani yi yantiana mo baa ye lankane.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Ñagini mani yi ciamu ku gbanñagidigu ki teni yi fidisanmu n ya co.
Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
36 Yeni de, ya tie mani nani ya naacenba n gu bi canbaa n ña mi pocaanjiema po ki kpeni, ke o ya pundi ki yedi: 'luodi mani n po mani, 'ban luodi opo tontoni.
And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
37 Li pamanli ye leni ya naacenba ke bi canba kpeni ki sua ke bi nua ki gu o yeni. N yedi yi i moamoani ke o baa ñagini o ciaga, ki teni ban kali u saajekaanu kani, wan teni ba mi jiema.
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38 O ya kpeni o kootonmoa-kpialo, yaaka o kootonmoa-yuamo, ki sua ke bi nua ki gu, li pamanli baa ye leni ba.
And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 Yin bandi bonŋanla ke o diedaano ya bi bani o sugido n baa cua ya yogunu, o bi baa gu ki kan cedi o sugido n lugidi o dieli ki kua.
And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 Yi moko n bogini ki ya gu kelima o Joa Bijua baa cua yin ki daani o ya yogunu.”
Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
41 Pieli den yedi o: “N daano, a pua mi naa kpanjama tinba bebe po bi? Bi niba kuli po?”
Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
42 O diedo den yedi: “Hme n tie ya tuonsoanjiidi-dugikoa n pia mi yanfuoma, ke o canbaa guuni o o niba ke wan ya tendi ba ya jiema n bili bipo?
And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
43 Li pamanli baa ye leni laa naacemo o canbaa ya kpeni ki sua ke o tiendi yeni.
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44 N waani yi i moamoani, o canbaa baa guuni o piama kuli.
Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
45 Ama laa naacemo ya yedi o pali nni: 'n canbaa waagi mi kpenma,' ki ji pua bi tuonsoanba bi jaba leni bi puoba kuli, ki di ki go ñu ŋali ki guodi,
But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
46 laa naacemo canbaa baa kpeni wan ki daani o ya daali leni wan ki faami ya yogunu. o baa teni ban waani o fala ŋali boncianla, ki gedi o ki ban taani leni yaaba n ki ŋua U Tienu.
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
47 Ya naacemo n bani o canbaa n bua wan ya tiedi yaala ki naa bogidi liba, kaa tiendi nani o canbaa n waani o maama, bi baa pua o ya puadi n yaba.
And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 De yua n kaa bani o canbaa n bua wan ya tiendi yaala, ki tiendi ya bonla n pundi ti puadi, o puadi kan ya yaba. Ban teni yua boncianla, bi baa bili ke wan guani boncianla. Ban piani yua ke li yaba bi baa bili ke wan guani yaala n yaba ki cie.
But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
49 N cua ki baa lu mi fantama ŋanduna nni. N bua ŋali bonŋanla ke li bi tuodi ki cuo no.
I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
50 Ama bi baa kpa batisi nni ya batisima n tie fala. N yama yagini boncianla ŋali lan baa tieni ki gbeni.
But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51 Naani yi tama ke n cua ki baa tieni mi yanduanma ŋanduna nni bi? A-a, N cuani mi paadime.
Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 Moala liiga niba muu dieyengu nni baa paadi leni bi yaba, niba taa baa koani leni niba lie, niba lie n koani leni niba taa.
For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 Bibaa baa koani leni o bijua, ki bonjaga mo n ya n ya koani leni o baa, binaa n koani leni o bisalo, ki bonpuoga mo n koani leni o naa. Yaanaa baa koani leni o biyuaga, ki biyuaga mo n koani leni o yaanaa.”
The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
54 Jesu go den yedi a nigola: “Yi ya laa ke ku tawaligu fii nintuali po, yi yen yedi tontoni ke ki taaga baa mi. Li yen tua yeni mo.
And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
55 Yi ya laa ke u faalu ñani niganu po, yi yen yedi ke ku wuligu baa tieni. Li moko yen tua yeni.
And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
56 Yinba pala lie danba na, yi bani ki bundi tanpoli leni ki tinga sinankeeninba, be yaapo ke yi naa bani ki bundi ya yogunu n tie na ya sinankeeninba wani?
Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
57 Be n teni ke yii kpaagi ki bandi yin baa tieni yaala lan ya tiegi?
Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
58 Han yegi leni a koanginkoa ke yi caa li bujiali po ya yogunu, ŋan moandi ki dagidi leni o u sanu nni wan da gedini a o bujialo kani, o bujialo n da teni a sandalima, sandalima mo n da luoni a li kpaadidieli nni.
When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
59 N yedi a, a kan ña lienni kali a ban pani ki gbeni, kaa sieni baa tanga.”
I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
