Matiewo 7
1 Daa jaligi mani uba, k U Tiernu mɔ kan jaligi.
'Judge not, that ye may not be judged,
2 Ki dugni bu te bo jaligi i mɔ, ti buud daali. yin bigdi maami ki tieni yeni, bi te ba bigni yeni ki ten i mɔ.
for in what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged, and in what measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you.
3 Be cedi ka nɔ o muanu a ninjua ninbinli nni, k ji ki nɔ o kpadijengu yaali n paani a yali nni.
'And why dost thou behold the mote that [is] in thy brother's eye, and the beam that [is] in thine own eye dost not consider?
4 A ba tieni ledi ki maadi a ninjua ki wan ŋa k a ñani o muani o ninbinli nni, ki nan ki nua a ya kpadijengu.
or, how wilt thou say to thy brother, Suffer I may cast out the mote from thine eye, and lo, the beam [is] in thine own eye?
5 Monafigi, ñan ya kpadijengu ye a ninbinli no, ki fidi nuali ki ñani o muanu a ninjua mɔ ya ninbinli nni.
Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 Da tugdi mani yali n tie U Tienu yaali ki tieni sangbanli, aya tieni yeni bu juni ni; gɔ da tugdi mani ya laani ki bi tagi yeni wula ki luni i duoli nintuanl ni, i tieni yeni, b bu ŋmaa li po.
'Ye may not give that which is [holy] to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, that they may not trample them among their feet, and having turned — may rend you.
7 Mia mani, bi ba teni, kpaan maani, i ba la, pua mani li ganli, bi ba luodi i po.
'Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you;
8 Klima: b tieni yua miadi, ki yua kpaani mɔ laadi, ki luodi yua pua po.
for every one who is asking doth receive, and he who is seeking doth find, and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.
9 I siign nni, ŋmaa n bu teni o bigi li tanli, li ya tie k o miagu kpanu?
'Or what man is of you, of whom, if his son may ask a loaf — a stone will he present to him?
10 bii waa li ya tie k o miagu o jam mii?
and if a fish he may ask — a serpent will he present to him?
11 Yeni yin bia maami kuli, i bani ya bo ŋana ki ba teni i bidi, taalm ŋaa po i, ki i Diedo ba teni yaali kuli ki bua li ya tie ki miagu i.
if, therefore, ye being evil, have known good gifts to give to your children, how much more shall your Father who [is] in the heavens give good things to those asking him?
12 Yin bua ki bi nibi n ya tiendi yaali kuli i po, i mɔ n ya tiendi yeni li nibi mɔ ya po, ti yikodi yeni U Tieu tondi kadaagu n maadi yaali yeni.
'All things, therefore, whatever ye may will that men may be doing to you, so also do to them, for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Kua mani ya diñɔbu ñidi, klima ya diñɔbu n yabi sanu caa mi tudmi nni, ki bi niba boncianli nan ŋanbi ki togi lan ya sɔnu.
'Go ye in through the strait gate, because wide [is] the gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it;
14 Ama ya diñɔbu ñidi ya sɔnu tie makpangbendgu sɔnu, ki yaabi n togi lan kani nan ki yabi.
how strait [is] the gate, and compressed the way that is leading to the life, and few are those finding it!
15 Fangi mani i yula yeni mi tofaama sawalpuaba, bi yi nagni i kani ki tie nani pañoe yeni, ama bi pala nni, ke bi bia nani i fuasangbanli yeni.
'But, take heed of the false prophets, who come unto you in sheep's clothing, and inwardly are ravening wolves.
16 Bi luana n wangi ban tie yaaba. Bi ba fidi ki lali duudi konkonbu po oo?
From their fruits ye shall know them; do [men] gather from thorns grapes? or from thistles figs?
17 Li go tie yeni i, tiiŋanbu kuli ba loni luanŋana i tiibiibu mo ń luanbiidi.
so every good tree doth yield good fruits, but the bad tree doth yield evil fruits.
18 Tiiŋanbu kan fidi ki loni luanbiigu, tiibiibu mo kan fidi ki loni luanŋanli.
A good tree is not able to yield evil fruits, nor a bad tree to yield good fruits.
19 Ya tibu n ki luoni luanŋana kuli, bi yi cua bu, ki lu u mu nni.
Every tree not yielding good fruit is cut down and is cast to fire:
20 Lanwani ii, bi yi bandi ba bi luana kani i.
therefore from their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Li ki tie yua n yi nni “O Diedo, O Diedo” ka ba kua U Tienu Diema nni, kase yaaba n tie n Báa yua n ye ŋaljanli nni buama baba.
'Not every one who is saying to me Lord, lord, shall come into the reign of the heavens; but he who is doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens.
22 Li daali ya pundi, bi niba boncianla ba maadi nni, “O Diedo, O Diedo”, ti den ki jaani ki miadi a yeli po ki bieli mu cicibiadmu uu? A yeli po ti ki tieni yaalidgu bona aa?”
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, lord, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name cast out demons? and in thy name done many mighty things?
23 N mo ba kadi ki maadi ba, N ki bani hali bada! Fuadi n kani, ti tuonbiidi daano ne!
and then I will acknowledge to them, that — I never knew you, depart from me ye who are working lawlessness.
24 Lanwani ii, yua n cengi n maama ki go cɔlni li maama baa tie nani ya yanfodaano n maa o diegu ku tangu po yeni.
'Therefore, every one who doth hear of me these words, and doth do them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock;
25 Ki taaga ba nii, ki tieni ku ñinkuagu, ku faagu ń figi li diegu, ama ku kan baa, kelima bi maa gu ku tangu po i
and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell not, for it had been founded on the rock.
26 Ama ya nilo n cengi n maama, ki naa cɔlni ma, baa tie nani ya yanluodaano n maa o diegu mi tanbiima po yeni.
'And every one who is hearing of me these words, and is not doing them, shall be likened to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand;
27 Ki taaga ba nii, ku ñinkuagu ń tieni, ku faagu ń figi, ki pua gu, kun baa ki mumudi yomyomi.
and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.'
28 Jesu ń maadi ki gbeni, wan tundi maama den sia bi niba pala.
And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,
29 Kelima o den tundi nani yua n pia ti yikodi yeni, kaa tie nani a gbanbanda yeni ka.
for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
