BSB
BSB:
When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.
2
ASJ
Te Kikoo wu kintutu ki bɛniiŋ bɛ nchi wu Lom tɛ̀ nuuŋ fe, kɛmi mfwa we wumu, kɔŋgisi wu ŋge. Ɛ mfwa wulu tɛ̀ gendi, nuuŋ lɛ kwe bɔ.

BSB:
There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

ASJ
Le te kikoo wulu woo kii Jiso, toŋ bɛkaaŋ bɛ sɛki kwɛɛŋ wu Bɛjuu, le be gɛɛŋ be lɛkɛ Jiso le bɛ wɔnchɛ mfwa we wuni.
BSB
BSB:
When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.
4
ASJ
Be se gɛɛŋ be ŋɛŋ Jiso, be sooŋ bɔ li wuu, be tee le, “Mintemii bɛ ɔ gɛɛŋ ɔ fi wi wusɛŋ wuni, wɛ nuuŋ wi wu ɔ nuuŋ nɛɛ ɔ fi wu.

They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,
5
ASJ
Kɔŋgisi kwɛɛŋ wusɛŋ ŋge, ɛ wu wu tɛ̀ gwaŋ yih yisɛŋ yi kintaashɛ.”

BSB
BSB:
So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.
7
ASJ
Le fiɛɛ fiee fi fɛ se mɛɛŋ ki bɛ kɛ bɛ bikaa biee le ŋɛŋ wɛ kɛ. Se nuuŋ le, ɔ yɔ nɛɛ nuuŋ jɛ kwaa bɛ kimfimɛ ko, kɛ ŋwani wu nimɛ gii tɛmi.
BSB
BSB:
That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8
ASJ
Mi ŋ'wɛ tɛ lɛ buŋga bu wi wumu lɛkwiiŋ, bɛniiŋ bɛ nchi-i nuuŋ tɛ lɛ mi-i lɛkwiiŋ. Mbɛɛ ɛ mi ntee li wumu le, ‘Ɔ giiŋgi,’ mwɛ gɛɛŋ, ɛ mi ntuu mi ntee li wumu le, ‘Bɛ,’ mwɛ bɛ nɛɛ. Ɛ mi ntee tɛ li mfwa wɛ-ɛŋ le, ‘Fɛrɛ fini’ fɛ nɛɛ tɛ lɛ.”
BSB
BSB:
For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”
9
ASJ
Le Jiso woo ntoŋ wulu, wa tɛ wu, se fiiki yi tee li kimbanchɛ ki bɛniiŋ lɛ ki tɛ̀ biki wu kɛɛ le, “Ntee beŋ le, mɛɛŋɔ nsaa ki ŋɛŋ kɛ wi wu kɛmi ŋwaani kini kimbeenchɛ li mi-i mɔɔ nuuŋ li kwɛɛŋ wu Isɛlɛɛ li kɛ.”
BSB
BSB:
When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said,
“I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”
10
ASJ
Le bɛniiŋ bɛ te kikoo wu bɛniiŋ bɛ nchi tɛ̀ toŋ baa tuu be kaari be to li yih, be ŋɛŋ mfwa wulu ɛ wu tɛmi.

BSB
BSB:
Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.
12
ASJ
Si be tɛ̀ giiŋgi lɛ, le be buti fɛ fweeŋ wu mbaŋ wu tɛ̀ lii li kitoŋ kilu, le be bichi lɔɔ be ŋɛŋ si bɛ too gwini chi wi bɛ buti bɛ chi. Wi wulu tɛ̀ nuuŋ wu kwaa lɛ ni bɔ. Ɛ ni tɛ̀ nuuŋ kwɛɛ ŋku. Si be tɛ̀ buti lɛ, kintutu ki bɛniiŋ lɛ bɛ li kitoŋ kilu tɛ̀ biki ni ŋwaŋ wulu.
BSB
BSB:
As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.
13
ASJ
Le Taa tuu ŋɛŋ kwɛɛŋ wulu, nshiiŋ kɔɔ wu, tee li wuu le, “Kiiŋ ɔ ni tuu ɔ de kɛ.”
BSB
BSB:
When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said,
“Do not weep.”
14
ASJ
Fɛ tɛ̀ tee lɛ, ka gɛɛŋ koŋ li kidaŋ ki bɛ tɛ̀ too gwini chilu fe. Bɛniiŋ bɛ tɛ̀ too gwini chilu baa se leŋ. Tee le, “Sɔɔnɛ nyuŋ, ntiitɔɔ li wɛɛ dzatsɛ we!”
BSB
BSB:
Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still.
“Young man,”
He said,
“I tell you, get up!”
15
ASJ
Biee dza we shee, bɛchi n'yɔru. Jiso kɛmɛ li wu nyɛ li ni-i.
BSB
BSB:
And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16
ASJ
Bɛniiŋ bɛchu ŋɛŋ lɛ, wa tɛ be. Be se guumɛ be yɔɔnchi Nyɔ be tiiti le, “Ntomfɔŋ wu Nyɔ wu nyɔŋa busɔɔ lɛ bee li lɛnti. Nyɔ bɛ yɛ le yi fi bɛniiŋ bee.”
BSB
BSB:
A sense of awe swept over all of them, and they glorified God. “A great prophet has appeared among us!” they said. “God has visited His people!”
17
ASJ
Ntoŋ wuni wu kii Jiso se saaŋgɛ wu gɛɛŋ li kwɛɛŋ wu Judiya kwikwi mɔɔ bitoŋ bi nuuŋ li kwɛɛŋ wulu lichiŋ.

And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.
19
ASJ
toŋ be lɛ Taa li le be gɛɛŋ be bii li wuu laa ɛ wu wu tɛ̀ nuuŋ le gii bɛ mɔɔ, be ni be tɛŋgi wi wumu le?
BSB
BSB:
So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”
20
ASJ
Be gɛɛŋ be ŋɛŋ Jiso be tee li wuu le, “Jɔɔŋ Nlisulidzɔɔ toŋ wɛ bee le tɛ bii li wɛ laa, ɛ wɛ wu tɛ̀ nuuŋ le ɔ gii ɔ bɛ mɔɔ, be ni be tɛŋgi wi wumu le?”
BSB
BSB:
When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’”
21
ASJ
Be tɛ̀ biiti lɛ, nuuŋ li mfi wu Jiso tɛ̀ wɔnchi chigɔŋ bɛ chigɔŋ chichu, busi mɔɔ Fiana yi tii li bɛniiŋ li, gwiyi lii yi binyɛɛ ŋge.
BSB
BSB:
At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.
22
ASJ
Jiso tuu li bee le, “Kaari yɛɛŋ nɛ gɛɛŋ nɛ tee li Jɔɔŋ li biee bi nɛ ŋɛŋ mɔɔ bi nɛ woo. Binyɛɛ ŋɛŋ biɛɛ biee, bimbonyɛ deŋgi biɛɛ tsaaŋ, bɛniiŋ bɛ gendi bɛ chigɔŋ chi nɔŋa tɛmi baa.

BSB
BSB:
So He replied,
“Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
23
ASJ
Kinɛɛtinɛ ki kinɔŋa kɛɛ ki wi wu mɛɛŋ ki mɛŋɛ kɛ mi kɛ.”
BSB
BSB:
Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
24
ASJ

BSB
BSB:
After John’s messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John:
“What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?
25
ASJ
Ɛ nuuŋ yɛ lɛ kɛ nɛ se tɛ̀ shiiŋ nɛ buti nɛ giiŋgi le nɛ ŋɛŋ tɛ nuuŋ la? Wi wu chuumɛ yi yee bɛ ndú yi shaaŋ ni? Yikɛ yɛɛŋ nɛ woo, bɛniiŋ bɛ chumini yi yi be bɛ ndú yi tɛɛmi mɔɔ bɛ tsiiŋ ntsɛ wu shaaŋ ti nuuŋ nuuŋ lɛ bɛntɔ-ɔ.
BSB
BSB:
Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in luxury are found in palaces.
26
ASJ
Nɛ se tɛ̀ giiŋgi le nɛ ŋɛŋ tɛ nuuŋ la? Ntomfɔŋ wu Nyɔ ni? Iiŋ, ntee beŋ le, wu yaaɔ ntomfɔŋ wu Nyɔ.
BSB
BSB:
What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
27
ASJ
Ɛ wu wu bɛ tɛ̀ tsɛɛ kii wu, Nyɔ tiiti le, ‘Yikɛ yɛɛŋ nɛ woo, ŋgii ntuumi wi wɛŋ wu ntoŋ ni tuuti mbaaŋ li wɛ-ɛ, nachɛ dze ya ɔ se bɛɛ.’
BSB
BSB:
This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’
28
ASJ
Ntee beŋ le, lɛnti lɛ bɛniiŋ bɛ bukɛɛŋ biɛ, wi nuuŋ yɛ lu wu ko wu yaa Jɔɔŋ kɛ. Se nuuŋ le, wi wu nuuŋ wi wu ŋkwɛŋ li bumfɔŋ bu Nyɔ-ɔ wɛ ɛ wu wu ko wu yaa Jɔɔŋ”.
BSB
BSB:
I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
29
ASJ
Bɛniiŋ bɛchu mɔɔ bɛniiŋ bɛ tɛ̀ kundi kiŋwaati woo si Jiso tee le tɛ̀ nuuŋ ntomfɔŋ wu Nyɔ, be pia bumfɔŋ bu Nyɔ-ɔ le bu nuuŋ tsaaŋ kifɛ be tɛ̀ beŋ Jɔɔŋ lii be lidzɔɔ.
BSB
BSB:
All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.
30
ASJ
Se nuuŋ le, Bɛfarasii mɔɔ bɛniiŋ bɛ tɛ̀ gbɛŋgi be kii bɛnchi bɛ Nyɔ-ɔ faaŋ fi bee ntaŋ wu Nyɔ tɛ̀ bɛ bɛ wu wɛ kifɛ be tɛ̀ faaŋ le kiiŋ Jɔɔŋ ni lii be lidzɔɔ kɛ.
BSB
BSB:
But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.
31
ASJ
Jiso dza tee le, “Ɛ la fi nnuuŋ mmaa bɛ kiŋgɔkɛ ki bɛniiŋ bɛ dɛɛni kini? Be baa si la?
BSB
BSB:
“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?
32
ASJ
Ntee beŋ fiee fi be baa si fi. Be baa si bɔɔŋ bɛ bwi bɛ shiiti fɛ kintsii ki wa-aŋ, bamu teenyi bamu be biiti laa, ‘Tɛ teh teŋgi tebi nɛ tɛ̀ biŋ kɛ, tɛ nyɛ juuŋ yi kwe nɛ de kɛ kii la?’
BSB
BSB:
They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’
33
ASJ
Ɛ nɛɛ lɛ si Jɔɔŋ Nlisulidzɔɔ tɛ̀ bɛ, shiiŋ bɛ dzeeŋ tɛ̀ woŋ mbiiŋ kɛ, nɛ tee le kɛmɔɔ bɔɔŋ bɛ kiŋkundi-i li wuu bwiŋ.
BSB
BSB:
For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’
34
ASJ
Ŋwanɛwi bɛɛɔ, jii biee, wundi biee, nɛ tee le, bichɛ yɛɛŋ nɛ ŋɛŋ wi wuni deŋgɔɔ wuti biee, wundi mbiiŋ piɛndi, tuu shiiŋ mɔɔ nsáŋ bɛ bɛniiŋ bɛ kundi kiŋwaati mɔɔ bɛniiŋ bɛ bifi bamu.
BSB
BSB:
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
35
ASJ
Se nuuŋ le, bufii ti doonchi yi nuuŋ li bɔɔŋ bee bɛchu-u.”
BSB
BSB:
But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
36
ASJ
Wi wu Bɛfarasii wumu tɛ̀ dza teeŋ Jiso le bɛ ji biee li wuu yih. Jiso beŋ, gɛɛŋ be shee be jii biee.
BSB
BSB:
Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.
37
ASJ
Se nuuŋ le kinjikwiiŋ kimu tɛ̀ nuuŋ li kitoŋ kilu. Ki woo le Jiso jiiɔ biee li wi Bɛfarasii wɛ yih, ki se dzɔ fika fi mɛɛŋ mamu mɛ sɛɛndi bujɔŋ ki gɛɛŋ bɛ me fe,

BSB:
When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

BSB
BSB:
As she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and wipe them with her hair. Then she kissed His feet and anointed them with the perfume.
39
ASJ
Le wi Bɛfarasii wu tɛ̀ teeŋ Jiso le bɛ ji biee wɛ ŋɛŋ lɛ, beechɛ li shéŋ yee li le, ɛ wi wuni bee nuuŋ ntomfɔŋ wu Nyɔ, bee nuuŋ wu kɛɛ le ŋwaani wuni kwɛɛŋ, ɛ kinjikwiiŋ.
BSB
BSB:
When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a sinner!”
40
ASJ
Jiso dza tee li wi wu Bɛfarasii wɛ-ɛ le, “Simu, ŋkɛmɔɔ fiee fi ŋgii ntee li wɛɛ.” Simu se tuu le, “Wi wu Ntiifɛ, tee lɛ.”

But Jesus answered him,
“Simon, I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

BSB:
“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

ASJ
Wu tɛ̀ yaa be nsomfu, se tuu chinɛ kwa wulu li bee. Se nuuŋ le, lɛ bee lɛnti ɛ wu la wu gii ni kɔŋgisi wu ŋge?”
BSB
BSB:
When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

Simu tuu le, “Fi nuuŋ fi nuuŋ wi wu bɛ tɛ̀ fɔɔ wu kwa wu nyɔŋa wɛ.” Jiso se kweeŋ le, ɔ saaɔ chɛɛŋ.

“You have judged correctly,”
Jesus said.

And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon,
“Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

Ɔ bee ɔ mɛɛŋ ki kokɛ kɛ mi le ɔ nyɔɔchɛ bikaa bieŋ kɛ. Se nuuŋ le, si mbee mbɛ fɛni, ɛ nɛɛ kwɛɛŋ wuni kwaa wu nyɔɔchɛ bikaa bieŋ.
