ASJ
Jiso se dza bɛchi yeti li bee lɛ ŋgaŋgaa li le, “Wi wumu tɛ̀ niŋ wɛ wu muntaaŋ mu bɛ feti mbiiŋ lu, toŋ mbaŋ kɛnɛ, se chiŋ kisɔ ki bɛ gii bɛ ni bɛ seendi muntaaŋ mulu le mbiiŋ buti, gwaŋ kikɔ li wi wu kiichi wɛ wulu, gɛɛ bɛniiŋ li wɛ wulu-u, se dza gɛɛŋ li kitoŋ kimu-u.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus began to speak to them in parables:
“A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a wine vat, and built a watchtower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.
2
ASJ
Le mfi wu bɛ ti kee mu bɛ wu kɔchɛ, toŋ ŋwani wu nimɛ wumu lɛ bɛniiŋ bɛ tɛ̀ gɛɛ wɛ li bee baa le be nyɛ wu mwee muntaaŋ le be bɛ mu.
BSB
BSB:
At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
3
ASJ
Le gɛɛŋ, be tuu be kɔɔ wu be too wu, be kooŋ bɛ wu, to lijiŋ bɔ kilɛrɛ.
BSB
BSB:
But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
4
ASJ
Wi wu wɛ wulu se tuu ka toŋ ŋwani wu nimɛ wumu, le gɛɛŋ, be ka be too wu be tɔ wu kikoo, be chɔɔri wu.
BSB
BSB:
Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.
5
ASJ
Se tuu ka toŋ wumu, be wo wu buwo. Se tuu nɛɛ toŋ bamu ŋge mumkpaŋ mumkpaŋ, be too bamu, be woyɛ bamu.
BSB
BSB:
He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.
6
ASJ
Toŋ nsiiŋ bɛ shɛ nuuŋ ŋwaŋ mumkpaŋ, wuni se nuuŋ ŋwani nuuŋ shéŋ yee tɛ̀ mɛɛshi toŋ wu lɛ bee, beechi le be gii be gɛɛŋ be guuŋ kwiiŋ li ŋwani wulu-u.
BSB
BSB:
Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
7
ASJ
Le gɛɛŋ, bɛniiŋ bɛlu tuu be tee li yi yi bee le, ‘Wuni wɛ kinjila ki wi wu wɛ wuni-i, bɛ yɛɛŋ tɛ wo wu, bishɛyɛ bilu se ni bi nuuŋ bisɛŋ.’
BSB
BSB:
But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
8
ASJ
Be se kɔɔ wu, be wo wu, be buu wu be lɔŋ wu lɛ mba-aŋ lɛkuuŋ.”
BSB
BSB:
So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9
ASJ
Le Jiso tee lɛ, se bii laa, “Fiee fi wi wu wɛ wuni nuuŋ fɛ, nuuŋ la? Gii bɛ lɛɛshɛ bɛ bɛniiŋ balu bu lɛɛshɛ, gɛɛ nuuŋ bɛniiŋ bɛ detɛ li wɛ wulu-u.
BSB
BSB:
What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.
10
ASJ
Nɛ mɛɛŋ baa ki teeŋ kɛ kintsii kini lɛ Kiŋwaati ki Nyɔ-ɔ ni? Bɛ tsɛɛ le, ‘Tɛtɛ chi bɛniiŋ bɛ ŋgwanu tɛ̀ faaŋ, tɛ̀ tuu chi dza chi to tɛtɛ chi boo chi yi-i.
BSB
BSB:
Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
11
ASJ
Fini nuuŋ mfɛru wu Taa, bɛniiŋ se bichi be tii wa.’”
BSB
BSB:
This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
12
ASJ
Bɛniiŋ baa woo ŋgaŋgaa chini, be se kɛɛ le Jiso waɔ nuuŋ li bee. Be se wɛki le be kɔɔ wu, be chɛndi nuuŋ kintutu ki bɛniiŋ lɛ ki tɛ̀ nuuŋ fe. Be se chinɛ li wuu, be dza be giiŋgi.
BSB
BSB:
At this, the leaders sought to arrest Jesus, for they knew that He had spoken this parable against them. But fearing the crowd, they left Him and went away.
13
ASJ
Bikoo bi kwɛɛŋ lɛ dza bi toŋ Bɛfarasii mɔɔ bɛniiŋ bamu bɛ kintutu ki Mfɔŋ Hɛrɔ le be gɛɛŋ be terɛ Jiso be kɔɔ wu li n'yɔru we-e.
BSB
BSB:
Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.
14
ASJ
Be bɛ be tee li Jiso-o le, “Wi wu ntiifɛ, tɛ ti kii le ɔ shiiŋ ɔ tiiti nuuŋ chɛɛŋ, kifɛ ɔ chɛndi yɛ wi lii kɛ, mɔɔ mwɛ nuuŋ noo le. Ɔ tiifi chɛɛŋ lɛ dze yi Nyɔ-ɔ. Tee bee laa nchi beenchi le bɛ ni bɛ suuti kiŋwaati li Kaisa wu nuuŋ Mfɔŋ wu nyɔŋa wu Lom, mɔɔ wu mɛɛŋ ki beŋ kɛ le?
BSB
BSB:
“Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and seek favor from no one. Indeed, You are impartial and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or not?”
15
ASJ
Tɛ ni tɛ suuti, mɔɔ tɛ soo kɛ le?” Jiso kɛɛ fiee fi be gii be kanyi bɛ fi, tuu li bee le, “Nɛ teeki mi kii la? Bɛ yɛɛŋ bɛ lisi chi kwa-a ŋɛŋ.”
BSB
BSB:
But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said,
“Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”
16
ASJ
Be se bɛ bɛ chi, fi, bii laa, “Kikoo kini bɛ bukooŋ buni nuuŋ bu noo lɛ?” Be tuu le, “Ɛ ki Kaisa, bukooŋ se nuuŋ nɛɛ bwee.”
BSB
BSB:
So they brought it, and He asked them,
“Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
“Caesar’s,” they answered.
17
ASJ
Jiso se tee li bee le, “Nɛ nyɛɛ fiee fi nuuŋ fi Kaisa li wuu, nɛ nyɛɛ fi Nyɔ li Nyɔ-ɔ.” Le be woo lɛ, yi kwi be.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus told them,
“Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
And they marveled at Him.
18
ASJ
Bɛsadusii bamu tɛ̀ dza be bɛ le be bii fiee li Jiso-o. Bɛsadusii tɛ̀ nuuŋ bɛniiŋ bɛ tɛ̀ kweŋgi le nuuŋ bɛniiŋ tɛ̀ bo li kwe-e kɛ.
BSB
BSB:
Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:
19
ASJ
Le be bɛ lɛ, be tee le, “Wi wu ntiifɛ, Mɔɔsɛ tɛ̀ tsɛɛ li bee li lɛ bɛnchi-i le, ‘Ɛ ŋwaani wi kwi wu shɛ kwɛɛŋ ŋwaŋ nsiŋ, kɛ wi wulu kɛmi le dzɔɔ kwɛɛ ŋku wulu bee wu biɛ bɔɔŋ li bukooŋ bu ŋku ŋwaani-i.’
BSB
BSB:
“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.
20
ASJ
Bɛdɛɛni, wi wumu tɛ̀ kɛmi bɔɔŋ bɛ buniŋ mfomɛnyaaŋ, wu kaaŋ tɛ̀ dzɔ kwɛɛŋ, kwi bee wu mbiɛ ŋwaŋ nsiŋ.
BSB
BSB:
Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.
21
ASJ
Wu biki se dzɔ tɛ̀ kwɛɛŋ wulu, kwi tɛ̀ ŋwaŋ nsiŋ. Fi ka nɛɛ tɛ lɛ bɛ wu biki li wuu wɛ.
BSB
BSB:
Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.
22
ASJ
Be bɛchu dzɔ wu, wi se tɛ̀ mɛɛŋ ki nuuŋ kɛ li bɛniiŋ bɛ mfomɛnyaaŋ bɛlu-u lɛnti wu tɛ̀ biɛ ŋwaŋ bɛ kwɛɛŋ wulu kɛ. Lɛjiŋ lɛlu kwɛɛŋ wulu tɛ̀ kwi tɛ.
BSB
BSB:
In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.
23
ASJ
Si bɛniiŋ bɛ mfomɛnyaaŋ bani tɛ̀ dzɔ kwɛɛŋ wulu be bɛchu lɛ, gii ni nuuŋ mfi wu bɛniiŋ buti li kwe-e, kwɛɛŋ wulu se nuuŋ kwɛɛ noo?”
BSB
BSB:
In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”
24
ASJ
Jiso tee li bee le, “Nɛ kii baa fiee fi feti nɛ se tɛndi dzé ni? Fi fiɛɛ lɛ kifɛ nɛ kii yɛ fiee fi bɛ tsɛɛ lɛ Kiŋwaati ki Nyɔ-ɔ kɛ, nɛ kii yɛ tɛ mɔɔ buŋga bu Nyɔ-ɔ kɛ.
BSB
BSB:
Jesus said to them,
“Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?
25
ASJ
Fiee fi nuuŋ lu fiɛɛ le mfi wu bɛniiŋ buti li kwe-e, buniŋ bee bukɛɛŋ mɛɛŋ yɛ le be ni be feti bugoo kɛ, bɛniiŋ mɛɛŋ yɛ be tuu be ni be nyɛɛ bɔɔŋ li bugoo li kɛ. Be gii naa be ni be nuuŋ nɛɛ si bɛnchindaa bɛ Nyɔ-ɔ liboo.
BSB
BSB:
When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.
26
ASJ
Kii fiee fi mbochu li kwe-e, nɛ mɛɛŋ baa ki teeŋ kɛ kintsii lɛ Kiŋwaati ki Mɔɔsɛ-ɛ kii kiti ki tɛ̀ duti Nyɔ yeti li Mɔɔsɛ yi tiiti le, ‘Ɛ mi Nyɔ yi Abrahaŋ bɛ Nyɔ yi Adzi mɔɔ Nyɔ yi Yakɔ ni?’
BSB
BSB:
But concerning the dead rising, have you not read about the burning bush in the Book of Moses, how God told him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
27
ASJ
Fi nuuŋ le Nyɔ nuuŋ yɛ Nyɔ yi biŋkwi kɛ, yi nuuŋ nuuŋ Nyɔ yi bɛniiŋ bɛ yoŋ. Nɛ chaŋ baa biee ŋge.”
BSB
BSB:
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”
28
ASJ
Wi wumu wu tɛ̀ tiifi bɛnchi bɛ Nyɔ-ɔ bɛ, woo si Jiso bee bɛniiŋ baa tɛchini biee, tuu ŋɛŋ si wu tuu fiee fi be bii li wuu lɛ dze yi dzeeŋ li, bii tɛ li Jiso laa, “Nchi wu yɛki bɛnchi bɛchu nuuŋ wu la?”
BSB
BSB:
Now one of the scribes had come up and heard their debate. Noticing how well Jesus had answered them, he asked Him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”
29
ASJ
Jiso tuu li wuu le, “Nchi wu yɛki bɛnchi bɛchu nuuŋ wuni wu tiiti le, ‘Hooo bɛniiŋ bɛ Isɛlɛɛ woo yɛɛŋ, Taa Nyɔ, wu Nyɔ yisɛŋ, Taa Nyɔ wulu nuuŋ nɛɛ mumkpaŋ.
BSB
BSB:
Jesus replied,
“This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.
30
ASJ
Ɔ kɔŋgisi Taa wu Nyɔ ya bɛ shéŋ ya chi, ɔ nyɛɛ kikoo ko li yi-i kichu, ɔ gɛɛ bufii bwo li yi-i buchu, ɔ nindi li yi-i bɛ buŋga bwo buchu.’
BSB
BSB:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’
31
ASJ
Nchi wu biki li wuni se nuuŋ le, ‘Ɔ kɔŋgisi ŋwaana siɔ kɔŋgisi yi ya.’ Nchi wumu nuuŋ yɛ lu wu yɛki bani kɛ.”
BSB
BSB:
The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”
32
ASJ
Wi wu tɛ̀ tiifi bɛnchi bɛ Nyɔ-ɔ wɛ se tee li Jiso-o le, “Wi wu Ntiifɛ, ɔ tuuɔ nɛɛ bujɔŋ. Ɔ tiitɔɔ nuuŋ chɛɛŋ le Nyɔ nuuŋ nɛɛ mumkpaŋ yimi nuuŋ yɛ lu fuki yi nsiŋ kɛ.
BSB
BSB:
“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,
33
ASJ
Ŋkɔŋgisɛ yi bɛ shéŋ chi, ŋgɛwu bufii li yi-i buchu, nimu li yi-i bɛ buŋga buchu bɛ ŋkɔŋgisɛ ŋwaana siɔ kɔŋgisi yi ya, tuuɔ wu yaa mɔɔ mfɛru muntofi bɛ nyáŋ yi tɔnyɛ mɔɔ bɛntaanchɛ bamu.”
BSB
BSB:
and to love Him with all your heart and with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself. This is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
34
ASJ
Le Jiso tuu ŋɛŋ si wu tuu si wi bufii, se tuu tee li wuu le, “Ɔ nuuŋ yɛ mfiiŋ li nlɛ li bumfɔŋ bu Nyɔ-ɔ kɛ.” Lɛjiŋ lɛlu, wi se tɛ̀ mɛɛŋ ki tuu kɛ le mɔŋ mbɛ le bii fiee li wuu kɛ.
BSB
BSB:
When Jesus saw that the man had answered wisely, He said,
“You are not far from the kingdom of God.”
And no one dared to question Him any further.
35
ASJ
Jiso bɛ tiifi bɛniiŋ li yih yi muntofi-i, dza bii li bee laa, “Bɛniiŋ bɛ tiifi bɛnchi geeŋ be se tiiti le Kinsofu ki Nyɔ tɛ̀ kaachɛ nuuŋ ŋwanɛ Mfɔŋ Daafi?
BSB
BSB:
While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked,
“How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?
36
ASJ
Nuuŋ ɛ Fiana yi Waaŋ tɛ̀ saa yi fɛ se Mfɔŋ Daafi wuni kweeŋ kii Kinsofu kilu tiiti le, ‘Taa Nyɔ tɛ̀ tee li Taa li le shee lɛ kibɛnɛ kee ki kigɔŋɛ-ɛ, nsiiŋ fɛ yi giiki bɛniiŋ bee bɛ mbani-i wu tɔmi bikaa biee li bee’.
BSB
BSB:
Speaking by the Holy Spirit, David himself declared: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’
37
ASJ
Ɛ Daafi kibɛɛ teenyi wu le Taa we, fi geeŋ se tuu ni nuuŋ ŋwani?” Si Jiso tɛ̀ tiiti biee bini lɛ, kintutu ki bɛniiŋ lɛ ŋge ki tɛ̀ nuuŋ fe tɛ̀ wuki kinɛɛtinɛ wuu be.
BSB
BSB:
David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”
And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.
38
ASJ
Le tuu ni tiifi bɛniiŋ dza tee li bee le, “Dzɔɔ yɛɛŋ mfi, bɛ bɛniiŋ bɛ tiifi bɛnchi bɛ Nyɔ-ɔ. Be ti kɔŋgisi nchuminɛ ndú yi nyɔŋa yi nyɔŋa be deŋgi li bintsii bi bɛ kabini biee li le bɛniiŋ ni be yɛɛshi be bɛ kin'yokisɛ.
BSB
BSB:
In His teaching Jesus also said,
“Watch out for the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, to receive greetings in the marketplaces,
39
ASJ
Fɛ be gɛɛŋ li yih yi nlɛkɛ li Nyɔ-ɔ, kɛ fɛ tsɔnɔ-ɔ, be tsaa nɛɛ nuuŋ bintindu bi nɔŋa bi nɔŋa, be se shee li bi-i liwe.

BSB
BSB:
They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
41
ASJ
Jiso dza gɛɛŋ lɛ shee limfwe li fiŋko fi nya-a fi li yih yi muntofi-i, se bichi si bɛniiŋ bɛɛ be giki kwa lɛ fiŋko filu-u. Bɛniiŋ bɛ kwaa se tɛ̀ bɛɛ ŋge be giki kwa le ŋgɔɔkwe-e wu.
BSB
BSB:
As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.
42
ASJ
Kwɛɛŋku wumu se dza bɛ, nuuŋ wi wu kifoo, gɛɛ munini le mumfɛɛŋ mu feti lisi chi kwa-a chi mumkpaŋ, wu mɛɛŋ ki bo kɛ fiee kɛ.
BSB
BSB:
Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.
43
ASJ
Jiso se teeŋ bɔɔŋ bee bɛ kintutu-u tee li bee le, “Ntee li be-eŋ chɛɛŋ le kwɛɛ ŋku wuni wu nuuŋ wi wu kifoo, nyɛɔ wu yaa bɛniiŋ bɛchu bɛ gɛɛ fiee lɛ fiŋko fi li yih yi muntofi fini.
BSB
BSB:
Jesus called His disciples to Him and said,
“Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more than all the others into the treasury.
44
ASJ
Bɛniiŋ bɛchu bɛ be be nyɛɛ, be be bɛɛ nuuŋ bɛ tsuu yi kwa wu be wu yisɛ wu shooshi. Se nuuŋ le, bee bɛ bɛ kifoo kee kichu wu nyɛ fiee fichu fi be kɛmi, nuuŋ fi fi bee nuuŋ le ni tsiiŋ li fi-i.”
BSB
BSB:
For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
