Luka 6
1 Saaba daali, ke Jesu pendi i dii kpaabu nni, ke o ŋɔdkaaba togdi i dii ki ŋmani.
One Sabbath Jesus was walking through cornfields, and his disciples were picking the ears of wheat, and rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.
2 Farisieninba buali ba: Be ya po i ke i tie yaala n kua saaba daali?
“Why are you doing what it is not allowable to do on the Sabbath?” asked some of the Pharisees.
3 Jesu gaa mi maama ki ŋmiani ba: I ki cogi yaala n diani ya yogu mi koma bo cuo Daviid yeni o ŋɔdkaaba a?
Jesus’ answer was, “Haven’t you read even of what David did, when he was hungry, he and his companions –
4 O kua ku jaanddiegu nni ki taa U Tienu lalaagu ki ŋmani, ki teni o ŋɔdkaaba ke bi mɔ ŋmani. Ama ke li nan bo ki cabi ke ban ŋmani, bi salyidkaaba bábá yaa ka.
That he went into the house of God, and took the consecrated bread and ate it, and gave some to his companions, though only the priests are allowed to eat it?”
5 Ke Jesu pugni ki maadi: O nufosaalo bijua n tie saaba canbaa.
Then Jesus added, “The Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
6 Saaba daatɔli ke Jesu kua ku jaanddiegu nni ki tundi U Tienu maama. Nulo bá bo ye ke o nujienu kpe.
On another Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.
7 Bi yikodanba yeni Farisieninba bo kpaani ke ban cuo Jesu. Bi bo kpaagi o ke ban diidi ki lia o ba tebi a yiama saaba daali i:
The teachers of the Law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely, to see if he would work cures on the Sabbath, so that they might find a charge to bring against him.
8 Ama, Jesu n bo bani bi maalma yeni, ke o maadi o yiamo: ... Fii ki sedi asalasiiga! Ke o fii ki sedi.
Jesus, however, knew what was in their minds, and said to the man whose hand was withered, “Stand up and come out into the middle.” The man stood up,
9 Ke Jesu maadi yaaba n sieni: N pia ibuali ki ba buali yi: Li bo dagdi ke tin tieni li bonŋanli bii ke ku bonbiigu i saaba daali i? Li dagdi ke tin fie o nulo miali bii tin ŋaa wan kpe i?
and Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it allowable to do good on the Sabbath – or harm? To save a life, or let it perish?”
10 Ke o ligdi o ninbina bi po ki maadi li naaciemo: Tandi a nugu! ke o tandi. Ke li nugu paagi”
Then, looking around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” The man did so; and his hand had become sound.
11 Bi yikodanba yeni Farisieninba pala bo beni paaa, ke bi ji maadi bi ŋmiali nni ban ba taani ki tieni Jesu maama.
But the teachers of the Law and the Pharisees were mad with rage, and consulted together what they could do to Jesus.
12 Lan daali, ke Jesu gɔ fuadi ki doni li juali po ki ba jaandi. Ke o jaandi U Tienu ku ñiamungu kuli.
Now about that time, Jesus went out, up the hill, to pray, and spent the whole night in prayer to God.
13 lan ti fandi ya yogu, ke o yiini o ŋɔdkaaba, ki lugdi bi siiga piiga n bonblie ki yini ba o ŋɔdkaaba.
When day came, he summoned his disciples, and chose twelve of them, whom he also named ‘apostles.’
14 Simɔn yua ke o bo yini o Pieri, o ninjua Andre, Jaak, Jan, Fiilipi, Batelimi,
They were Simon (whom Jesus also named Peter), and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
15 Matiog, Toma, Saaki, Alfe bijua, Simɔn yua pali kɔni u dogu po.
Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon known as the Zealot,
16 Jude, Jaaki bijua, yeni Juda Iskariyɔti yua n ti ba juodi ki kuadi o.
Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who proved a traitor.
17 Jesu n bo ñani li juali po ki jiidi yeni ba, ke o sedi li gbangbanli po. o ŋɔdkaaba boncianla bo ye li kani, bi niba boncianla mɔ bo ye ki ñani Jude kuli nni, yeni Jerisalemi yeni Tiri dingbana nni yeni Sidɔn dogu nni.
Afterward Jesus came down the hill with them and took his stand on a level place. With him were a large crowd of his disciples, and great numbers of people from the whole of Judea, Jerusalem, and the coast district of Tyre and Sidon,
18 Bi kuli bo baa ke ban cengi o, ki wan gɔ paagi ba. Yaaba ke asanpola bo mabi ba mɔ bo paagi.
who had come to hear him and to be restored to health. Those, too, who were troubled with foul spirits were cured;
19 Yua bo kpaani ke wan sii o kelima ke u paalu bo ña o gbanu nni ki paagdi i yiani buoli kuli.
and everyone in the crowd was trying to touch him, because a power went out from him which restored them all.
20 jesu bo gbagi ki diidi o ŋɔdkaaba ki maadi ba: Li pamanli tie yinba yaaba n tie talgnba yaali kelima yinba n ti baa ye U Tienu Diema nni.
Then, raising his eyes and looking at his disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Li pamanli tie ynba yaaba ke mi koma pia yi mɔlane yaali, kelima i ti ba guo. li pamanli tie yinba yaaba n buudi mɔlane kelima i ti baa laa i.
Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
22 Bi niba ya ki bua yi, ki bieli yi, ki sugdi yi, ki biidi i yela kelima o nufosaalo bijua po, li pamanli baa tie i yaali.
Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they expel you from among them, and insult you, and reject your name as an evil thing – because of the Son of Man.
23 Li bona ya ti baa yi, yin ya kpanbi leni li pamanli kelima i ñuadi ti baa yabi U Tienu deni. Bi yaajanba mɔ bo tieni U Tienu tondkaaba yeni.
Then indeed you may be glad and dance for joy, for be sure that your reward in heaven will be great; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets.
24 Ama, yinba a piada, li ti baa bia i po kelima i lá ñuadi o.
But alas for you who are rich, for you have had your comforts in full.
25 Yinba yaaba n guo mɔlane, li ti baa bia i po kelima mi koma ti ba cuo yi. Yinba yaaba n laa mɔlane, li ti baa bia i po kelima i ti ba cagni, ki ya ye li pabɔncianla nni.
Alas for you who are sated now, for you will hunger. Alas for you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
26 Yinba yaaba ke bi niba kuli pagi yi, li ti baa bia i po kelima bi yaajanba mɔ bo tie yeni leni ku faagu Tienu tondkaaba.
Alas for you when everyone speaks well of you; for this is what their ancestors did to the false prophets.
27 Yinba yaaba n cengi nni ne kuli, n bua maadi yaala ne: Ya bua man i nannanda, ya tie man mi ŋanma yaaba n ki bua yi po;
But to you who hear I say – love your enemies, show kindness to those who hate you,
28 ya jaandi man ki ya miadi mi yedŋanma n jiidi yaaba n polgi bu ñɔbu po. Ya jaandi man yaaba n cagni po ya po.
bless those who curse you, pray for those who insult you.
29 Nulo ya pabi a tankpinyenli ŋan teni o tankpintɔli mɔ. Nulo ya taa a liadbiga ŋan cabi o a liadgbengli mɔ.
When someone gives one of you a blow on the cheek, offer the other cheek as well; and, when anyone takes away your cloak, do not keep back your coat either.
30 Yua mia ŋa ŋan teni o. Yua taa a bonla mɔ ŋan da buali o li po.
Give to everyone who asks of you; and, when anyone takes away what is yours, do not demand its return.
31 Ya tie man i lieba yin bua ke ban ya tie i po yaala.
Do to others as you wish them to do to you.
32 I ya bua yaaba n bua yi bábá, i maali ke i ba lá ya paabu n ŋani i? Bi tuonbiaddanba mɔ bua bi dɔnlinba.
If you love only those who love you, what thanks will be due to you? Why, even the outcast love those who love them!
33 I tie mi ŋanma yaaba n mɔ tie yi mi ŋanma, i gɔ ti ba baa ti laa ñuadi i? Bi tuonbiaddanba mɔno ki tie mi ŋanma a?
For, if you show kindness only to those who show kindness to you, what thanks will be due to you? Even the outcast do that!
34 I ya kpendi man ki daani ke bi ba guani ki ŋmiani yi, i gɔ ba lá ti bulcindi i? Bi tuonbiaddanba mɔ kpendi bi tuonbiaddanlieba ke ban guani ki ŋmiani ba.
If you lend only to those from whom you expect to get something, what thanks will be due to you? Even the outcast lend to the outcast in the hope of getting as much in return!
35 Ama yinba, yin ya bua man i nannanda ki tie ba mi ŋanma, ya kpendi man ki da daani ke ban guani ki ŋmiani yi. I ya tie yeni i ñuadi ti baa yabi, i ti baa tie O Bado U Tienu bila kelima u ŋanbdi yaaba n ki tie mi ŋanma yeni bi tondanba.
But love your enemies, and show them kindness, and lend to them, never despairing. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the thankless and the bad.
36 I báa gbie yeni mi ŋanma. Mɔ ya tie man yeni.
Learn to be merciful – even as your Father is merciful.
37 Da bu a lieba, bi kan bu a mɔ, da biandi a lieba, bi kan biani a mɔ. Ya di man sugli i lieba po, U Tienu ba di sugli i mɔ ya po.
Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
38 Ya todi man i lieba U Tienu mɔ ba todi yi. U den bibni ya golungu n yabi ki ñagi ñagi ke li gbie ki yadi ki wulgi n po, kelima yin bigni maama ki puuni i lieba, U Tienu mɔ ti ba bigni yeni ki teni yi.
Give, and others will give to you. A generous measure, pressed and shaken down, and running over, will they pour into your lap; for the standard you use will be the standard used for you.”
39 O pua ba mi makpanjama ki maadi ba: O juamo ba fidi ki dadi o juanlielo? Ban bonblie kan baa ku buogu nni?
Then, speaking in parables, Jesus said, “Can one blind person guide another? Will they not both fall into a ditch?
40 Tuonbanglo ki cie o canbáa. Ama ya tuonbanglo n ŋanbi ki bangi ki gbeni, o baa tien nani o canbáa yeni.
A student is not above their teacher; yet every finished student will be like their teacher.
41 Be n cedi ke a nua ya muanu n ye a ninjua ninbili nni, ama ki nan ki nua ya dajenli n ye a ya ninbinli nni?
And why do you look at the speck of sawdust in someone’s eye, while you pay no attention at all to the plank of wood in your own?
42 A ba tieni ledi ki maadi a ninjua: «N ninjua tieni suo ke min ñani u muanu yu n ye a ninbinli nni? ŋalacidaano! Dá pandi ya daagu n ye a ninbinli nni o, ki ŋanbi ki nuali ki fidi ki ñani u muanu yu ye a ninjua ninbinli nni.
How can you say to your friend ‘Friend, let me take out the speck in your eye,’ while you yourself do not see the plank in your own? Hypocrite! Take out the plank from your own eye first, and then you will see clearly how to take out the speck in your friend’s.
43 Ki tinŋanga kan loni ti luanbiidi. Tibiigu mɔ kan loni luanŋana. Bi bani tibu kuli yeni bu luana i.
There is no such thing as a good tree bearing worthless fruit, or, on the other hand, a worthless tree bearing good fruit.
44 Bi ki puadi kankana konkontibu po, bi gɔ ki puadi cancanba konkonbɔngu po.
For every tree is known by its own fruit. People do not gather figs off thorn bushes, nor pick a bunch of grapes off a bramble.
45 O numɔno n pia ya bonŋana o pali nni, o ñangi lani. O nubiigu n mɔ pia yaala o pali nni, o mɔ ñangi lani, kelima o nufosaalo pali nni n gbie yaala o ñangi lani.
A good person, from the good stores of their heart, brings out what is good; while a bad person, from their bad stores, brings out what is bad. For what fills someone’s heart will rise to their lips.
46 be n cedi ke i yii nni “Yonbdaano, Yonbidaano”! ki nan ki tie min maadi yaala?
Why do you call me ‘Master! Master!’ and yet fail to do what I tell you?
47 N bua waani yi yua cuoni n kani ki cengi n maama, ki gɔ tie man buali maama, yenyienu n naani yeni yaala.
Everyone who comes to me and listens to my teaching and acts on it – I will show you to whom they may be compared.
48 O tie nani ya nulo maa ku diegu. o gbiidi ke li ñuagi ki pan nandi ku tantiagu ki bili li fiagli. Ku bɔngu ya gbie ki yadi, mi ñima yi yili li diegu, ki nan kan ki guli gu kelima bi maa gu ke ku paa.
They may be compared to a person building a house, who dug, and went deep, and laid the foundation on the rock. Then, when a flood came, the river swept down on that house, but had no power to shake it, because it had been built well.
49 Ama yua cengi n maama kaa tie man buali maama o tie nani yua maa ku diegu ti tandi po kaa bili li fiagli. Ke ku bɔngu ya gbie ki yadi, ke mi ñima yili li diegu, ku ba wobi ki baa li yogu mɔno ki kpandi ku langbengu.
But those who have listened and not acted on what they have heard may be compared to a person who built a house on the ground without any foundation. The river swept down on it, and the house immediately collapsed; and great was the crash that followed.”
