Luka 7
1 Wan maadi ku niwulgu wan pia ya maama, Jesu kua Kapernaumi.
And when he had ended all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he went into Capernaum.
2 Sijenba canbáa bo pia o tuonsɔnlo, ke o yia, ki ji mi kuuma po.
And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and about to die.
3 Wan gbadi ke bi maadi Jesu maama, sije canbáa sɔni o kani nani Suifi yikodanba ŋa yeni, ke bi gedi ki fabni o kani ke wan cua ki paagi o tuonsɔnlo.
But when he heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, and besought him to come and save his servant.
4 Bi cua ki lá Jesu ki mia o sugli boncianla ... Bi maadi o, o ja ne dagdi yeni ŋan ŋanbi o po.
And they came to Jesus, and besought him earnestly, saying: He is worthy for whom thou shouldst do this;
5 Kelima, o bua ti buolu. Wani n maa ti po ti jaanddiegu.
for he loves our nation, and of his own accord has built us a synagogue.
6 Lani, ke Jesu yegi leni ba ki caa. Li ji bo ki fagi leni deni, ke sijegbengli yeni sɔni o dɔnlinba ke ban maadi o. Ti Yonbdaano, da mabndi a bá, kelima n ki dagdi leni min gaa n denpo.
And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, and said to him: Lord, give thyself no trouble; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof.
7 Lan ya po n cedi, ke li bo ki dagdi yeni min cua n bá ki lá ŋa. Ama, maadi lanbonyenla ke n tuonsɔnlo n paagi.
For which reason, neither did I count myself worthy to go to thee; but command in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 Kelima, min mɔno tie sije yua n juadi, ama n pia bi naacenba n yikodi po, leni min sɔni yendo: “Gedi”, o baa caa i, n maadi tɔo: “Cua”, o baa cuoni i. N ya n tuonsɔnlo: “Tieni ne”, o baa tie i.
For I am a man placed under authority, and have soldiers under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.
9 Jesu n gbadi li maama, ke li lidi o, ama ki mangi o. Ke o gbagi ki maadi ya niwulgu n ŋua o: “Mɔmɔni po, Israyeeli nni ne kuli, n ki baa lá ya nulo ke o pia ya dudugdi ne.”
And when Jesus heard these things, he was filled with admiration for him; and, turning to the multitude that followed, he said: I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.
10 Sije yeni tondkaaba lebdi deni ki sua ke o tuonsɔnlo paagi o.
And they that had been sent, returned to the house, and found the servant that had been sick restored to health.
11 Li kani ke Jesu kua Nayini dogu nni. O ŋɔdkaaba leni ku niwulgu boncianla ciandi o.
And it came to pass, the next day, that he was going to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples and a great multitude followed him.
12 Wan cili ki kua u docamu nni, ki cendi ku niwulgu ke bi pii li pakuali biyendga. Bi dogtieba boncianla bo ŋua a kupiila.
And when he came near the gate of tho city, behold, they were carrying out a dead man, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a great multitude from the city was with her.
13 T yonbdaano lá li pakuali ke mi ninñima cuo o, ke o maadi: ... Da buudi man!
And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her: Weep not.
14 Ke o nagni ki kulianga ki maani o nugu ki po, ke yaaba n tugi sedi.... Ke Jesu yedi, o naaciemo, n cabi a fii.
And he went and touched the bier; and those who were carrying it, stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to you, Arise.
15 Ke mi kuuma fii ki kali ki maadi. Ke Jesu ŋmiani o o naá.
And he that had been dead, sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
16 Ke bi niba kuli jie, ki ji dondi U Tienu ki maadi: U Tienu cua ki bua fie u niba. Ki gɔ pugni: U Tienu cua ki tebi o kpiemo!
And fear seized on all; and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet has arisen among us; and, God has visited his people.
17 Ya lanbona ke bi maadi Jesu po ne bo yadi Suude leni li dogkuni kuli.
And this report concerning him went abroad into all Judea and all the neighboring region.
18 Jan ŋɔdkaaba maadi o yaala n den tieni kuli, ke bi siiga, ke o yini bonbilie.
And the disciples of John told him of all these things.
19 ki sɔni ba ti Yonbdaano kan ke ban buali o: ... Fini n den cuoni bii, tin gɔ dá guudi tɔo i?
And John called to him two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, and said: Art thou he that was to come, or must we look for another?
20 Ke li danba sedi o nungi nni ki maadi o: ... Jan-Baptisti n sɔni ti. Yaala ke bo bua buali a nne: “Fini n den cuoni bii, tin dá guudi Tondtɔo i?”
And the men came to him and said: John the Immerser has sent us to thee, and says, Art thou he that was to come, or must we look for another?
21 Ya yogu ke o pundi li kani Jesu bo paagi ni niba boncianla, i yianbuolbuoli kuli, ki paagi yaaba n den gbie leni mu cicibiadmu, ki nuali a juama boncianla.
And in that very hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and bestowed sight on many that were blind.
22 Ke Jesu maadi ba: Guani man Jan kani ki dugni o yin lá yaala: Bi juanba nɔnli, a waba cuoni, a gbaada paagi, a tubkpaana gbadi, ke bi kpienba yiedi, ke talginba gaa li pamanli.
And Jesus answered and said to them: Go and tell John what you have seen and heard; that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them;
23 Pamanli lenli yua luni o dudugdi kelima n ya po.
and blessed is he who shall find no cause of offense in me.
24 Jan tondkaaba den lebdi yo, ke Jesu ji maadi leni ku niwulgu Jan po. ... I gedi ki lá be mi tinfanma nni? U faalu n liebi ya ñinmuagu ne.
And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
25 I gedi ki lá ŋma i? Yua bobi ti tiadŋandi? Yaaba n bibi ti tiadgbengdi ki ye u manu nni kua bi badcianba diedi nni.
But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear splendid apparel, and live in luxury, are in kings houses.
26 Ama i ji gedi ki lá ŋma i? U Tienu tondo? N maadi yi, o cie U Tienu tondo mɔno.
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.
27 Kelima, o ya po i ke li diani: N ba sɔni n Tondo a nunga nni, wan bobni a sanu.
This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 N maadi pua n mali yua kuli, ama yua n yabi ki cie Jan ki ye, yua n wa U Tienu diema nni n yabi ki cie o.
For I say to you, Among those born of women, there is no prophet greater than John the Immerser. But the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
29 ... Ya niba n den cengi o kuli leni a lonpogaala den dugi U Tienu po mɔmɔni, ki tuo ki Jan n wulbi a U Tienu ñima.
And all the people, and the publicans that heard him, vindicated God, by being immersed with the immersion of John;
30 Ama Farisieninba leni U Tienu bali maama tundkaaba yie ke o kan wulbi ba U Tienu ñima, bi luni U Tienu buama.
but the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God in regard to themselves, by not being immersed by him.
31 N ba nangi mɔlane niba leni be i? Bi naani leni be?
To what, then, shall I compare the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
32 Bi tie nani ya bila n kaa ki daaga nni, ki yii bi lieba ki tua: «Ti piebi yipo mu yelmu, ke yii jeli ki ciaga! Ya yogu ke ti gɔ yiini mi kuuma yani, yi gɔ ki buudi!
They are like children sitting in the market-place, who call to one another, and say, We have played on the pipe for you, and you have not danced; we have sung mournful songs for you, and you have not lamented.
33 Lani, Jan-Baptisti cua, kaa ŋmani kpanu, kaa ñuni ku daamɔngu. Yi maadi be i? “O pia cicibiigu o niinni.
For John the Immerser came, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, He has a demon.
34 O nulo bijua cua ki di ki ñu, ki i yigni: “O ja ne maalma tie wan di ki ñu i, o tie a lonpogaala leni ti tuonsɔnbiaddanba dɔnlinba.”
The Son of man has come, eating and drinking, and you say, Behold, a gluttonous man and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners.
35 Ama, U Tienu yanfuoma cua yaaba n tua ma po i.
Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.
36 Farisieni den yini Jesu ke wan je. Ke Jesu gedi ki kali ki di.
And one of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and reclined at table.
37 Ke puoconconli bá cua, ke yua kuli o u dogu nni, ke o ye ku yenyebiigu nni. Nani, wan bo gbandi ke Jesu cua Farisieni deni ki di yeni, ke o taa o tulaali konkonga.
And, behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she knew that he reclined at table in the house of the Pharisee, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
38 Ki cua ki sedi o puoli po, kpiani o taana. Ki buudi ke o ninsiidi pan milgi Jesu taana; ke o taa o yudi ki fiadi fiadi, ki balgi Jesu taana po, ki tiendi tulaali.
and stood behind at his feet, weeping; and she began to wash his feet with her tears; and she wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment.
39 Farisieni yua bo yini o yeni n lá lani, ke o maadi: O ja ne ya bo tie U Tienu tondo yeni mɔni, o bo ba bandi o pua yua siigi o ne n ye ya yenyienbiigu nni.
But when the Pharisee who had invited him, saw it, he said within himself: This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who, and what sort of woman this is that touches him; for she is a sinner.
40 Jesu doni o nialu ki maadi: ... Simɔn n pia maama bá ki bua maadi ŋa. ... Ke Farisieni ŋmiani o: Nn, Canbá́a, maadi.
And Jesus answered and said to him: Simon, I have something to say to you. He replied: Teacher, say on.
41 ... Niblie n bo dini li panli bi pandaano kani. Nuyendo den ba pa dibala kobiimu, yua tua mɔ n pa dibala piimu.
A certain creditor had two debtors; the one owed him five hundred denarii, the other, fifty.
42 Nani ban bonblie kuli, obá n bo ki pia ki ba pa li panli yeni, ke o pandaano cabi ba ke ban da pa. A ya po, ban boblie siiga ŋma n ba ŋanbi ki bua o pandaano?
But as they had nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them, then, will love him the more?
43 Simɔn ŋmiani: ... N maali ke yua ya panli n ŋanbi ki yabi. ... Jesu maadi o ke o jiini li po n yeni.
Simon answered and said: I suppose he to whom he forgave the more. He said to him: You have decided correctly.
44 Ki gbagi ki diidi o pua yeni ki gɔ maadi: ... A lá o pua ne i? To, min cua a deni, ŋaa teni nni mi ñima ke n ba ŋuudi n taana; ama, wan taa o ninsiidi ki ŋuudi n taana, ki fiadi a leni o yudi.
And turning toward the woman, he said to Simon: Do you see this woman? I entered your house, you gave me no water for my feet; but she has washed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
45 A ki lɔni nni ki waani nni a buama, ama, wani, hali min kua ne, o li lɔngi n taana i.
You gave me no kiss; but she, from the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 A ki sɔgi n yuli po tulaali, ama wani, o wuli n taana po tulaali.
You did not anoint my head with oil; but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Lan ya po, n maadi a: O tuonbiadi kuli piini, li po n cedi ke o waani nni o buama kuli. Yua ke bi dini sugli o po waama nne, wangi o buama waama nne i!
Wherefore, I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much. But he to whom little is forgiven, loves little.
48 Ki ji maadi o pua: ... A tuonbiadi kuli piini.
And he said to her: Your sins are forgiven.
49 Wan n den yini yaaba ki pugni o po ji maadi bi bá nni: “O ja ne tie ŋma i ki piindi bi niba tuonbiadi?”
And those who reclined at table with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that also forgives sins?
50 Ama, ke Jesu maadi o pua: ... Kelima, a dugi n po, a baa mi faabma; ya caa leni li pamanli.
But he said to the woman: Your faith has saved you; go in peace.
