Matiewo 13
1 Lan daali, jesu den ñani o deni, ke kali, Galile ñincianma jaali kunu ke bangiba,
That same day, when Jesus had left the house and was sitting by the sea,
2 Bi niba boncianla den taani o kani, o den kua ki kali o ŋadigu nni, ya niba n yabi yeni kuli den ye li jaali po.
such great crowds gathered around him, that he got into a boat, and sat in it, while all the people stood on the beach.
3 Jesu den maadi'ba mi maama boncianla yeni mi kpanjama ke yediba: “o kpakuolo den ñani ke ba pagi i bonbuoli.
Then he told them many truths in parables. “The sower,” he began, “went out to sow; and,
4 Wan den pagini ya yoginu, li tiani den ba u sankunu, ke ti bonyugidi den cua ki dini yi.
as they were sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
5 I tiani mo den ba tancaga tingin, mi tama n ke yabi naan kani, li den pudi tontoni, nani mi tama n ki yabi yeni.
Some fell on rocky places, where it had not much soil, and, because the soil wasn’t deep, sprang up at once.
6 Ama u yienu n den paagi li bonbuli kaala den mali ki kuodi, kelima laa den pia jiin moani
As soon as the sun had risen, it was scorched, and, because their roots were not deep enough, withered away.
7 I tiani mo den ba i kokoni nni, i kokoni den fii ki dini yi.
Some, again, fell into the brambles; but the brambles shot up and choked it.
8 Bonbuo tiani mo den ba ki tingŋana nni, ki den pudi ki loni, i ne den loni, kobiga kobiga, i tian mo piluoba luoba, i ne piitata.
Some, however, fell on good soil, and yielded a return, sometimes one hundred, sometimes sixty, sometimes thirty fold.
9 Yua n pia atuba ki ba gbadi, wan cengi.
Let those who have ears hear.”
10 Bi ŋ̇ɔdikaaba den nagini jesu kani ke den yedo: “be ya po yo ka maadiba mi kpajam.
Afterward his disciples came to him, and said, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
11 Jesu den guani ki yedi: “bi puni yinba wani n bandi tanpoli dienma nni bondoginikaali, ama laa tie bi ya po ka.
“To you,” answered Jesus, “the knowledge of the hidden truths of the kingdom of heaven has been imparted, but not to those.
12 Kelima yua n pia bi ba pa o ki pugini wan ya pia boncianla, ama yua n ki pia wani bi gaa o kani ba wan pia yaali.
For, to all who have, more will be given, and they will have abundance; but, from all who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.
13 Li tie lani ya po yo ke maadiba mi kpanjam, kelima ba ke bi nua bi kan la liba, ba ki bi cengi mɔ, bi gbadi liba ki bandila.
That is why I speak to them in parables, because, though they have eyes, they do not see, and though they have ears, they do not hear or understand.
14 Bi ya po li tieni ki gbeni, nani Isayi yua n sɔgini u tienu maama ki yedi: i ba cengi yeni i tuba ke kan gbadi liba, ke nɔnli yeni i nuni, ke kan liba kuli.
In them is being fulfilled that prophecy of Isaiah which says – ‘You will hear with your ears without ever understanding, and, though you have eyes, you will see without ever perceiving,
15 Li tie yeni bani ke Isayi masɔginkaaba kua ki gbeni, wan den yediba yaali, i ba cengi ama i gbadi liba, i ba nɔnli ama i kan la liba, kelima bi naa niba pala juagi, bi gnali bi tuba kaa bua gbadi, bi tie yeni ki kaa bua ki ŋaa bi tuonbiidi ke min nɔnli'ba ki bua'b bii ki faabi'ba.
for the mind of this nation has grown dense, and their ears are dull of hearing, their eyes also have they closed; otherwise some day they might perceive with their eyes, and with their ears they might hear, and in their mind they might understand, and might turn – and I might heal them.’
16 Li pamanli ye yeni yi, kelima i nuni nua, i tuba mɔ gba.
“But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear;
17 N waani yi mɔnmɔni, u tienu maama sɔnginkaaba boncianla, yaabi n tiegi den bua ki la ya bonla ki nua ne, ama baa la, bi den bua ki gbadi yi gba yaali ne ama baa gbadi.
for I tell you that many prophets and good people have longed for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never saw them, and to hear the things which you are hearing, yet never heard them.
18 Lan wani yi cengi o kpakuoli kpanjama yeni li bundima.
“Listen, then, yourselves to the parable of the sower.
19 Ya yoginu ko nilo cengi tanpoli dienmin maama ki naa gbadi lan bua ki yedi yaali, sitaan cua ki ñani ban buli yaala o pali nni, wani n tie ya bonpagikaala n ba u sankunu.
When anyone hears the message of the kingdom without understanding it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in their mind. This is the person meant by the seed which was sown along the path.
20 Ya bonbuoli n ba i tancagi tinga nni mɔ tie yua n cengi mi maama ki gaanma tontoni yeni li pamanli.
By the seed which was sown on rocky places is meant the person who hears the message, and at once accepts it joyfully;
21 Ama o kan fidi ki sedi ya yoginu ki mi yepaama cua o kani, bii bi niba ya wan'o fala ŋanduna nni, waa pia jiini, se wan gbali ki ba.
but, as they have no root, they stand for only a short time; and, when trouble or persecution arises because of the message, they fall away at once.
22 Yinba i konkoni tinga mɔ tie yaabi n kpaani ki tua piada, ba kpaagi bontiali po se i ligike tie yaali n dagidi bi po, bi sundi u tienu po, ba tiendi u tienu n buali, bi tie nani ya tinga gbie i konkoni yeni. (aiōn g165)
By the seed which was sown among the brambles is meant the person who hears the message, but the cares of life and the glamour of wealth completely choke the message, so that it gives no return. (aiōn g165)
23 Ya bonbuoli ba ki tingŋanga nni, li tie yaaba n cengi mi maama ki gaa mi gbadima yeni mɔmɔni, li tie bani n luoni li bonluonkaali, kobiga kobiga, piiluoba luoba, yeni piitata.
But by the seed which was sown on the good ground is meant the person who hears the message and understands it, and really yields a return, sometimes one hundred, sometimes sixty, sometimes thirty fold.”
24 Jesu gɔ den pua'ba kpanjam tɔma ki yedi;'tanpoli dienm naani nani ya nibi nden buli o kuanu nni.
Another parable which Jesus told them was this – “The kingdom of heaven is compared to a person who sowed good seed in their field.
25 Wan den gɔa ya yoginu, ko yibali den cua buli i naniidi u kuanu nni, ki guani ki kuni.
But, while everyone was asleep, their enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away.
26 Li bonbulkaali n den pudi ki loni ti muabiandi'ti yaali n tie naniidi yen mɔ kɔ den dɔgidi.
So, when the blades of corn shot up, and came into ear, the weeds made their appearance also.
27 O kuadaano, tuonsɔnba den cua ki yedi'o, canba, ŋaa den buli bonbuoŋanm ka a kuanu nni? Be ya po yo ki naniidi mɔ nan ji ye lien n?
The owner’s servants came to them, and said ‘Was not it good seed that you sowed in your field? Where, then, do the weeds in it come from?’
28 O den guani ki yediba, li tie yibali n sɔni lan ya tuonli, lani ki bi naacenba ŋmiano: a bua tin gedi ki pan ŋabi bii?
‘An enemy has done this,’ was the owner’s answer. ‘Do you wish us, then,’ they asked, ‘to go and gather them together?’
29 Canba den guan'ba: yen ka, ya jie mani ke yi da te taani ki ŋabi i bonbuoŋanmi,
‘No,’ said he, ‘because while you are pulling up the weeds you might uproot the wheat with them.
30 ŋaa li kuli n ya kpedi hali li dipeli, lan yoginu n ba yedi a dipela, ban cindi ŋabi i naniidi (ti muabiadi) ki loli ki sia( ju) ama ki yi taani i diŋanmi n bɔnbualin.
Let both grow side by side until harvest; and then I will say to the reapers, Gather the weeds together first, and tie them in bundles for burning; but bring all the wheat into my barn.’”
31 Jesu gɔa den pua'ba mi kpajatianma ki yedi: “tanpoli dienma naani nani ya bonbigu n wa (ñidi) ki cie mi juobinm, ke o nilo den taa ki ŋuu o kuanu n.
Another parable which he told them was this – “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a person took and sowed in his field.
32 Lan ya bonbii ñidi bii wa ki cie i bonbii kuli, ama bu ya kpedi ya yoginu bu yen tua ticianbu ki cie o gogdigu naan kani ki ti bonyugidi ba fidi ki cua ki tieni bi tiadi bu beni nni.
This seed is smaller than all other seeds, but, when it has grown up, it is larger than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that ‘the wild birds come and roost in its branches.’”
33 Jesu gɔ den togidiba kpanjatiali ki yedi: “tanpoli dienma gɔa tie nani li dabinli yeni, o pua den taa ki muani yeni yiemu taa ki sieni ki li kuli fii (k nɔbi)
This was another parable which Jesus related – “The kingdom of heaven is like some yeast which a woman took and covered up in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen.”
34 Jesu den bangi li niwuligu ki maadi'ba laa bonli kuli yeni mi makpanjam, waa den maadi yenba ka ki pua kpanjam.
Of all this Jesus spoke to the crowd in parables; indeed to them he used never to speak at all except in parables,
35 Li kuli ne den tie lan kuani u tienu nisɔngikaaba maam po man tieni, m maadi mi kpanjam, n ba maadi'ba mi kpanjam ki dɔgidi ya bona n den wuo hali ŋanduna cilima yoginu.
in fulfillment of these words in the prophet – ‘I will speak to them in parables; I will utter things kept secret since the foundation of the world.’
36 Jesu nden cabi lan ya niwuligu, o den kua o diegun nni, lan ya yoginu bi ŋɔdikaaba den nangini o kani ki
Then Jesus left the crowd, and went into the house. Presently his disciples came to him, and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”
37 yedi'o: bundi ti po ya naniidi den ye o kuan nni kpanjam, ki jesu ŋmianma, yua buli i bonbuliŋanm tie mini o nisalo bijua.
He answered, “The sower of the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 O kuanu mɔ tie ŋanduna, ya bonbuoli ŋan mɔ tie u tienu n die ya niba, aljani nni bila, ti muabiidi tie ya niba n tiendi sitaani n yedi ban tieni yaali.
The field is the world. By the good seed is meant the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the wicked,
39 Yibali yua buli i naniidi tie sitaani, li adipela n ba pe i di ya yoginu tie ŋanduna juodima. Adipela mɔ tie malekinba. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest time is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Nani ban yi loli ti muabiidi ki loli maama ki ju o mu nni, li ba tie yeni li ŋandunli juodima yoginu. (aiōn g165)
And, just as the weeds are gathered and burnt, so it will be at the close of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 O nisalo bijua ba sɔni o malekinba ba ñani o diemin ne kuli, yaali tie bonbiili kuli yeni yaabi n tiendi mi biadima.
The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom all that hinders and those who live in sin,
42 Ki luba o mu buogun nni naani kani n bia ke bi ba buudi ki ŋmani a ñina.
and will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
43 Li yoginu, bi niteginkaaba (bi nimɔnba) ba yendi nani o yienu yinyienma yeni bi baa dienma nni.
Then will the righteous shine, like the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. If you have ears, listen.
44 Tanpolu dienma gɔa tien nani ya piama n wuo o kuanu yeni, ki o nilo laama (piidi) ki gɔ guani ki wuonma, wan gbie yeni ya pamanli po ko den gedi ki ban kuadi wan pia yaali kuli ki guani ki daa u kuanu yeni.
“The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a person found and hid again, and then, in their delight, went and sold everything that they had, and bought that field.
45 Tanpoli dienma gɔa tie nani ya kpenkpendo den kpaani mi lanbima ki li ŋani boncianla.
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of choice pearls.
46 Wan den laanma ki mi daagu n paa maama po, o den gedi ki ban kuadi wan pia yaali kuli ki da.
Finding one of great value, they went and sold everything that they had, and bought it.
47 tanpoli dienma gɔ tie nani, ti janbaandi ki bi taa ki lu mi ñinciama nni, bi yi cuo i janbuoli kuli, yaabi n ŋani yeni yaabi n ki ŋani, ti janbaandi ya gbie yeni i jam, bi jankpaanba yi dadi ki ñani mi ñinciama jali po.
Or again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net which was cast into the sea, and caught fish of all kinds.
48 Bi yi gandi ya jami ŋani ki tieni ti bauodi nni, ama bi ba lu yaabi n ki ŋani wani.
When it was full, they hauled it up on the beach, and sat down and sorted the good fish into baskets, but threw the worthless ones away.
49 Li ba tua yeni ŋanduna juodima, malekinba ba cua u tienu n ja ti buudi naani kani, ki paadi bi nibiadiba. (aiōn g165)
So will it be at the close of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 Bi ba lu'ba ya mu n bia nni, naani kani ki bi baa buudi yeni fala ki ŋmani bi ñina.
and will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
51 Naani yi gbadi laa bonla kuli bonŋanla a? Bi ŋɔdikaaba den guano.
“Have you understood all this?” Jesus asked. “Yes,” they answered.
52 Nn ti gbadi, lani ki jesu den yedi yeni u tienu maama gbanbanda siigan yua n tua tanpoli dienma n ŋɔdika, baa naani nani ya nilo n pia o dieli ki ñangi o ŋalimankpelo nni yen wan pia ya ŋalmani paano.
Then he added, “So every teacher of the Law, who has received instruction about the kingdom of heaven, is like a householder who produces from his stores things both new and old.”
53 Ya yoginu ki jesu den maadi'ba lan ya bonli kuli ki gbeni, o den taa o ŋɔdikaaba ki ñani li kani.
When Jesus had finished these parables, he withdrew from that place.
54 Wan den pundi Nasaleti o den kua li bali maama bangima dieli nni ki bangi, li den lidi yaabi n den cengi o bangima kuli ki maadi.
Going to his own part of the country, he taught the people in their synagogue in such a manner that they were deeply impressed. “Where did he get this wisdom?” they said, “and the miracles?
55 O naa nilo ki tie nani tinbi yen kaa? o ba laa yanfuonma m ɔ lee? O tieni ledi yo o ki tiendi mi bancianm? Waa tie o kpagikpielo bijua kaa? Maliyama ka tie o naa, Jaka, Josefi, Simɔno yeni Juda ka tie o waanmu( o ninjaba).
Isn’t he the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
56 o ninsiabi mɔ kuli taani ki ye yen'ti ti dogun
And his sisters, too – are not they all living among us? Where, then did he get all this?”
57 Ya niba n ye li kani den yie kaa tuo ki gaa jesu nani u tie kilisiti, lan wani jeasu pali den biidi yeni ban tie maami po ko yedi'ba, bi kan fali u tienu nisɔnginka kaan tɔgi se o dan dogun nni yeni o diegun nni.
These things proved a hindrance to their believing in him. But Jesus said, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country and in his own house.”
58 Waa den tieni bancianm boncianla laa kaanu, kelima bi pajuaga ya po.
He did not work many miracles there, because of their want of faith.
