2. 2BKWNyɛ eezɛke náá: «Pɛ kɔ dhiiti ghaada wat, ye nabɛ ɛ́ nɛ dhiiti tetɛp ngɔt nadi náá, etɛp e Zɛɛb, ààgwyak nyɛy ɔ. Nyɛ nabɛ ɛ́ ààkobem ba nɛ mot.BSBBSB: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3. 3BKWKɔ dɛl ɛ tak, ye nabɛ ɛ́ nɛ dhiiti kus moma nadi é pyap ɛzyɛ pɛ dáa tetɛp tak é zɛkeke nɛ nɛ náá: “Pɛ́ɛa mɛ tɛp bis di nɛ yɛ bis nɛ bot bak'aak,” etɛɛ náá, nyɛ nadi é gu náá, nyɛ ɛ́ nɛ gham.BSBBSB: And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4. 4BKWE mɛkɛn, tetɛp nadi byen. Deenek nyɛ eezɛke tɔ lyemɛ náá: “Yɛ ko bɛ náá, mɛ ààkaab Zɛɛb ɔ, baadi náá, mam ààbis bot ɔ,BSBBSB: For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5. 5BKWdáa ye di náá, kus moma yak ɛpemyel mɛ ɛ, ye goka ɛ́ mɛ pɛ́ɛ tɛp'ɛ étɛp nyɛ neekat ɛpyap wak.”»BSBBSB: yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Otherwise, she will wear me out with her perpetual requests.’”
6. 6BKWBhii tak Ghɛŋ eezɛbaabil náá: «Gwakeka dáa mbee tetɛp tak nalii ɛ́.BSBBSB: And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7. 7BKWTin, Zɛɛb tok nɛ ghwyil ɛkwyee bot ɛ nyɛ nazesɛ́ɛ ɔ, bot ɛ tak ɛ di ewaab esonok pɛ daa lɛ mwos nɛ pum ɔ. Nyɛ aanàkwaakwyee bɛ?BSBBSB: Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay in helping them?
8. 8BKWMɛ lɛɛ bin ɛ tsɛɛtsɛ náá: Nyɛ waalel ɛkwyee bin kaab dum nɛ ghamen. Tin, esok Sɛɛŋɛlɛ Mɔn Mot aazyɛ ɛ́, nyɛ waazɛbela bot ɛ di dum koŋ nɛ Zɛɛb ɔ kɔ bɔs'ak ee?»BSBBSB: I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”
9. 9BKWYezu eebaazɛlɛɛ kana kɔ ɛsu ɛ bot ɛ di bun náá, bɛ ɛ́ bot ɛ epiki, da bɛ ɛ́ kadyamal ɛ́ bɔn nyɛɛg bɔɔ ɔ. Nyɛ eezɛke nɛ nɔɔ náá:BSBBSB: To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
10. 10BKW«Bot ɛbá naazɛbyet pɛ kok Ndjaa-ebuwa kɛdjaala; ngɔt nadi ɛ́ Falizyɛ, dhiiti kadi ɛ́ nɔŋel epata e lapo.BSBBSB: “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11. 11BKWFalizyɛ eezɛtyaa e yɛ di, nyɛ moo djaala náá: “Hee, Zɛɛb! Mɛ eeduwal wɔ, etɛɛ náá, mɛ tok dáa bɛdhiiti bot: bɛ ɛ́ bot ɛ djii, embee bot, bot ɛ mɛzɔ. Mɛ ɛpeduwal wɔ, etɛɛ náá, mɛ tok dáa nɔŋel epata e lapo di'ak.BSBBSB: The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
12. 12BKWMam tsi edee ɛ́, esok ebá tɔ yenga wat. Mɛ nɛ djɛ wɔ endiyal kam bam.”BSBBSB: I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13. 13BKWNɔŋel epata e lapo natyaa ye ɛ́ ba ɛtsetaɛpe. Nyɛy ààben mis pɛ ɛko. Nyɛ eekɛl mɛmbɔ kɔ lo. Nyɛy náá: “Iyeee, Zɛɛb, wɔy ààkogek mɛ ghoŋ e? Mam mot mesyem.”»BSBBSB: But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’
14. 14BKWYezu ɛ́ boozɛke náá: «Nɔŋel epata e lapo naka sik ɛ́, Zɛɛb eezɛpel mesyem mɛ, ààbɛ Falizyɛ. Étɛp tak ɛ́ di náá, mot ɛ ghɛɛ nyel ɔ, Zɛɛb ɛ waasiil nyɛ. Mot ɛ siila ɔ, Zɛɛb ɛ́ bin nyɛ.»BSBBSB: I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15. 15BKWBot naazyɛ nɛ bɔɔ tɔlɔɔ bɔɔ pɛ dáa Yezu étɛp nyɛ neekɛl mɛmbɔ kɔ lɔɔ. Tyee bɛdjekel nakabee deenek ɛ, bɛ naazɛbhɛm bɛ.BSBBSB: Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who brought them.
16. 16BKWTin, Yezu eezɛke náá, bɔɔ tɔlɔɔ tiila pɛ nyɛ nadi ɛ́: «Betka bɔɔ dhyeeb bɛ zyɛ pɛ daa lam. Sa bi ààlu bɛ, etɛɛ náá, Ɛyoŋ ɛ Zɛɛb ɛ́ yii bot ɛ di dáa bɔɔ dhyeeb ɔ.BSBBSB: But Jesus called the children to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
17. 17BKWTsɛɛtsɛ nɛ tsɛɛtsɛ, mɛ lɛɛ bin ɛ náá: Mot ɛ di ààmyaal Ɛyoŋ ɛ Zɛɛb dáa mɔɔ dhyeeb ɔ, nyɛ aanàkwaani tɔ tak.»BSBBSB: Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18. 18BKWDhiiti kukuma eYuda ngɔt zokazɛdji Yezu náá: «Mbɛɛ lyoel, mɛ goka nɛ ɛsa dáa étɛp mɛ neebela tsik na kɔm-kɔm?»BSBBSB: Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19. 19BKWYezu eezɛbɔɔza nɛ nɛ náá: «Étɛp yé wɔ di djóo mɛ mbɛɛ lyoel? Ye tok nɛ mbɛɛ mot kɔ bɔs'ak bhis Zɛɛb nyɛy nyɛ ɛmet.BSBBSB: “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
20. 20BKWWɔ nɛ gu etsi djas: “Sa wɔ ààsa mɛzɔ. Sa wɔ ààgó mot. Sa wɔ ààdjii sa mot. Sa wɔ ààlɛɛ elɛŋ e etsal dum nɛ sɔ mot. Duwala soog nɛ nyoog.”»BSBBSB: You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”
21. 21BKWMot'enɔk eezɛbɔɔza nɛ nɛ náá: «Etsi binek djas mɛ nɛ duwal yɛ, kana edhɔma bam, kɛkum dwoo pan mos'ak.»BSBBSB: “All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
22. 22BKWBhis Yezu nagwak nyɛ ɛ́, nyɛ eezɛke nɛ nɛ náá: «E zokalik ɛ́ wɔ sa sa wat: kɛbɔmsa esa bɔ djas, da wɔ ɛ́ nɔɔ epata e tak, djɛ bɛdjel ɛ bot. Tin, wɔ waabela mɛvu tɔ gwoo, bhii tak da wɔ ɛ́ zɛdu mɛ.»BSBBSB: On hearing this, Jesus told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
23. 23BKWDáa mot mɛvu menɔk nagwak deenek ɛ, ye nabɛ ɛ́ mɛkpa menek naatek nyɛ nyel na wɔyɔŋ, etɛɛ náá, nyɛ nadi ɛ́, nɛ mɛvu ɛbuɛpe.BSBBSB: But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
24. 24BKWDáa Yezu nabee náá, lyem mot mɛvu menɔk nabɛ ɛ́, ye naakpaŋ ɛ, nyɛ ɛ́ boozɛke náá: «E kɔɔla nɛ bot ɛ di nɛ ekum ɔ, bɛ ni tɔ Ɛyoŋ ɛ Zɛɛb!BSBBSB: Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25. 25BKWƐlyel náá, boo yaaga kyee bɔs bɛsyɛ di ààbɛ nɛ mɛdii ɛ dhaa tɔ ba mɔɔ ɛlen ɛ dhɔɔ, baadhaa-dhaŋa mɛlyel nɛ mot mɛvu étɛp nyɛ neeni tɔ Ɛyoŋ ɛ Zɛɛb.»BSBBSB: Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
26. 26BKWBot ɛ nadi gwak nyɛ moo tin é ke pak'ɔɔ náá: «Yɛ bɛ deenek ɔ, ɛzɛ aabela tsik?»BSBBSB: Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27. 27BKWYezu eezɛbɔɔza nɛ nɔɔ náá: «Sa di náá, bot aanàkwak ɛ, Zɛɛb aanàkwaakat yɛ.»BSBBSB: But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
28. 28BKWWɔ gwaa Pyɛɛd ke náá: «Gwyáka, bis eezebet djas étɛp ɛdu ɛ wɔ.»BSBBSB: “Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
29. 29BKWYezu ɛ́ boolɛɛ bɛ náá: «Tsɛɛtsɛ nɛ tsɛɛtsɛ, mɛ lɛɛ bin ɛ náá: Mot ɛ bet ndjaŋ'ɛ, nɛghu myɛl, nɛghu bɔn nyɛɛg, nɛghu sɛɛg, nɛ nyɛɛg, nyɛ baabet bɔɔ bɛ étɛp ɛ Ɛyoŋ ɛ Zɛɛb ɔ,BSBBSB: “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God
30. 30BKWnyɛ waabela bɛtɛ nɛ bot binɔk é mɛwala mak. Dɔɔ nɛ tɔ tsik aazyɛ bhis'aak, nyɛ waabela tsik na kɔm-kɔm.»BSBBSB: will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”
31. 31BKWDhiiti dwoo, Yezu zokanɔɔ bɛdjekel kam nɛ bɛbá, e bhaaz'ɛ. Nyɛy nɛ nɔɔ náá: «Gwakeka! Mena moo tɔ́ pɛ Yeluzalɛm. Penek ɛ yɛ aadjala djas bɛngoolel ɛ mɛkpa ɛ Zɛɛb nazekwyal dum nɛ Sɛɛŋɛlɛ Mɔn Mot ɛ.BSBBSB: Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
32. 32BKWNyɛ waaseebaa é mɛmbɔ mɛ bot ɛ di ààbɛ bot ɛ́ mbyak eYuda ɔ. Bot binɔk aadek nyɛ, lee nyɛ, nɛ ɛsɛɛ ɛ́ nyɛ mɛtel.BSBBSB: He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33. 33BKWBɛ waanyuu nyɛ nɛ eghwyɛs. Bhii tak, bɛ waagó nyɛ. Mɛlu mɛlɛl bhii tak, nyɛ waagom.»BSBBSB: They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34. 34BKWGhuna bɛdjekel kadi ɛ́, ààgu sa wat tɔ etɛp ee nyɛ nadi é ke ɛ. Ye nadi nɛ nɔɔ syela. Bɛ nadi ɛ́, ààgu sa Yezu nalii ɛ.BSBBSB: But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.
35. 35BKWDáa Yezu nabɛ náá, bɛ moo kunaa nɛ Yeliko ɛ, ghuna dhiiti mot na edhim nadi ɛ́, ndiindil e ngwoob gba. Nyɛ nadi ɛ́, mot engwyeebel.BSBBSB: As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
36. 36BKWNyɛ eezɛgwak ɛtap ɛ zukamwaa nɛ mot eezyɛ pɛ kyee nyɛ nadi ɛ́, wɔ gwaa nyɛ zɛdji sa nadi dhaŋ ɛ.BSBBSB: When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
37. 37BKWBɛ zɛlɛɛ nyɛ náá: «Ye ɛ́ Yezu, mot Nazalɛt, ɛ di dhaa tin.»BSBBSB: “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
38. 38BKWWɔ gwaa nyɛ zɛtsim náá: «Yezu, Mɔɔ Dhavid, geka mɛ ghoŋ!»BSBBSB: So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39. 39BKWBɛtɛɛ nɛ bot ɛ nadi kɛpɛ sok ɔ moo tin é bhɛm nyɛ, nɛ é lyak nyɛ, étɛp nyɛ needi gwyem. Tin, nyɛ eebaazɛloogal gwood ɛlyelɛpe: «Mɔɔ Dhavid, geka mɛ ghoŋ!»BSBBSB: Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
40. 40BKWYezu eezɛtyaa. Bhii tak, nyɛ eezɛlwom náá, bɛ zyɛ nɛ nɛ daa lɛ. Dáa mot edhim binɔk natiila pɛ Yezu nadi ɛ́, Yezu eezɛdji nyɛ náá:BSBBSB: Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had come near, Jesus asked him,
