Luka 7
1 Wan maadi ku niwulgu wan pia ya maama, Jesu kua Kapernaumi.
AND when he had finished all these words in the hearing of the people, Jeshu entered into Kapher-nachum.
2 Sijenba canbáa bo pia o tuonsɔnlo, ke o yia, ki ji mi kuuma po.
But the servant of a certain centurion, who was valued by him, was sick, and nigh unto dying.
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.
And he heard of Jeshu, and sent to him the elders of the Jihudoyee, 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, when they came to Jeshu, besought of him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou do this for him;
5 Kelima, o bua ti buolu. Wani n maa ti po ti jaanddiegu.
for he loveth our people, and also a synagogue he hath built for us.
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 Jeshu went with them. But when he was not greatly distant from the house, the centurion sent to him his friends, saying to him, My Lord, labour not, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter beneath 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.
Wherefore I was not worthy to come to thee; but speak by a word, and my youth 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 also am a man who am subjected under authority; and there are under my hand soldiers, 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.
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.”
Now when Jeshu heard these (words), he admired, and turned and said to the company who came after him, I tell you, that not also in the house of Isroel have I found faith like this.
10 Sije yeni tondkaaba lebdi deni ki sua ke o tuonsɔnlo paagi o.
And they who had been sent, returned to the house, and found the servant who had been sick now well.
11 Li kani ke Jesu kua Nayini dogu nni. O ŋɔdkaaba leni ku niwulgu boncianla ciandi o.
AND it was the day after, that he went to a city whose name was Nain, and his disciples with him, and a great multitude.
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 as he approached the gate of the city, he saw (them) following (one) dead, who was the only born of his mother, and she his mother was a widow: and a great multitude of the people of the city were with her.
13 T yonbdaano lá li pakuali ke mi ninñima cuo o, ke o maadi: ... Da buudi man!
And Jeshu beheld her, and had compassion upon 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 they who were carrying it stood. And he said, Young man, to thee I say, Arise.
15 Ke mi kuuma fii ki kali ki maadi. Ke Jesu ŋmiani o o naá.
And the 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 all men; and they glorified Aloha, saying, A great prophet hath arisen among us, and Aloha hath visited his people.
17 Ya lanbona ke bi maadi Jesu po ne bo yadi Suude leni li dogkuni kuli.
And this word concerning him went forth into all Jihud, and into the whole region around them.
18 Jan ŋɔdkaaba maadi o yaala n den tieni kuli, ke bi siiga, ke o yini bonbilie.
And the disciples of Juchanon showed him all these.
19 ki sɔni ba ti Yonbdaano kan ke ban buali o: ... Fini n den cuoni bii, tin gɔ dá guudi tɔo i?
AND Juchanon called two from his disciples,
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 sent them to Jeshu, saying, Art thou He who cometh! or another should we expect?
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.
But in that very hour he healed many from diseases, and from plagues, and from evil spirits; and to many blind he gave to see.
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 Jeshu answered and said to them, Go tell Juchanon every thing you have seen and heard: that the blind see, and the lame walk, and the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead arise, and the poor are evangelized;
23 Pamanli lenli yua luni o dudugdi kelima n ya po.
and blessed is he whosoever is not offended 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.
But when the disciples of Juchanon were gone, Jeshu began to speak to the people concerning Juchanon: What went you forth into the wilderness to see? a reed from the wind shaken?
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.
If not, what went you forth to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they who are clothed in bright vestments, and are (living) in pleasures, are in the house of kings.
26 Ama i ji gedi ki lá ŋma i? U Tienu tondo? N maadi yi, o cie U Tienu tondo mɔno.
If not, what went you forth to see? a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and 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.
he, concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send mine angel before thy face, Who shall prepare the 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.
I tell you, that no prophet among those born of women (hath been) greater than Juchanon the Baptizer. Yet the least in the kingdom of Aloha 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 that heard him, and the tribute-gatherers also, justified Aloha, because they were baptized with the baptism of Juchanon.
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 Pharishee and Sophree rejected against themselves the will of Aloha, because they were not baptized of him.)
31 N ba nangi mɔlane niba leni be i? Bi naani leni be?
With what therefore 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 public place, and crying to their companions, and saying, We have sung to you, and you have not danced; we have wailed to you, and you have not wept.
33 Lani, Jan-Baptisti cua, kaa ŋmani kpanu, kaa ñuni ku daamɔngu. Yi maadi be i? “O pia cicibiigu o niinni.
For Juchanon the Baptizer came, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, A devil is in him.
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 came eating and drinking, and you say, Behold a man a devourer and a drinker of wine, and a friend of tribute-takers and of sinners!
35 Ama, U Tienu yanfuoma cua yaaba n tua ma po i.
But justified is wisdom of her sons.
36 Farisieni den yini Jesu ke wan je. Ke Jesu gedi ki kali ki di.
NOW there came one of the Pharishee requesting of him to eat with him: and he entered into the house of the Pharisha, and reclined.
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 a woman, a sinner, was in that city; and when she knew that in the house of the Pharisha he reclined, she took a vase 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 him at his feet and wept, and began with her tears to bedrop his feet, and with the hair of her head to wipe them, and she 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 Pharisha who had invited him saw (this), he thought within himself and said, Were this a prophet, he would know who this is and what is her report, for this woman is a sinner who toucheth him.
40 Jesu doni o nialu ki maadi: ... Simɔn n pia maama bá ki bua maadi ŋa. ... Ke Farisieni ŋmiani o: Nn, Canbá́a, maadi.
But Jeshu answered and said to him, Shemun, I have somewhat to say to thee. He said to him, Say, Rabi.
41 ... Niblie n bo dini li panli bi pandaano kani. Nuyendo den ba pa dibala kobiimu, yua tua mɔ n pa dibala piimu.
Jeshu said to him, A certain creditor had two debtors: the one owed him five hundred dinoree, and the other fifty dinoree.
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?
And when they had nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Which, therefore, of them the most would love him?
43 Simɔn ŋmiani: ... N maali ke yua ya panli n ŋanbi ki yabi. ... Jesu maadi o ke o jiini li po n yeni.
Shemun answered and said, I think he to whom much was forgiven. Jeshu said to him, Thou hast judged rightly.
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 he turned to that woman, and said to Shemun, Thou seest this woman: I entered thy house; waters for my feet thou gavest me not; but this with her tears hath bedropped my feet, and with her hair hath wiped them.
45 A ki lɔni nni ki waani nni a buama, ama, wani, hali min kua ne, o li lɔngi n taana i.
Thou didst not kiss me; but, behold, this from (the time) I entered hath not ceased my feet to kiss.
46 A ki sɔgi n yuli po tulaali, ama wani, o wuli n taana po tulaali.
Thou with ointment my feet didst not anoint, but this with ointment of balsam my feet hath anointed.
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!
Therefore I tell thee, That forgiven to her are her many sins, because she hath loved much. For he to whom little is forgiven, little loveth.
48 Ki ji maadi o pua: ... A tuonbiadi kuli piini.
And he said to her, Woman, forgiven to thee (are) thy sins.
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?”
But they who reclined said among themselves, Who is this who also sins forgiveth?
50 Ama, ke Jesu maadi o pua: ... Kelima, a dugi n po, a baa mi faabma; ya caa leni li pamanli.
But Jeshu said to that woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
