1. 1CUGJisɔs ka ti ndi widɔkɔ, i bwa bu bə mbaŋ a bɔ ki bɔ̂h kə i tsâki jɔbi wichi.BSBBSB: Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
2. 2CUGWi dzaka a, “Mi wi sakani bənsaka widɔkɔ nì kɔ i kwili widɔkɔ wə, wi lwa kə Nyɔ, nabə i tsɛiŋ mi a wi kɔ fiɛŋ fidɔkɔ.BSBBSB: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3. 3CUGKpə ŋkwu widɔkɔ num tə i kwili wiwɔ wə. Wi nì shiki tsəki jɔbi wichi wi kwuŋ kaŋ i mi wə wi sakani bənsaka dzaka i wi a, ‘Gâmti mih ma wɔ tə̂iŋ nsaka wuŋ wələ mih kaŋaki bəh mi wələ wi baiŋŋki mih lə.’BSBBSB: And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4. 4CUGI jɔbi wi dəəŋ wə mi wi sakani bənsaka wə jiə kə tunni ki i gia yə kpə ŋkwu wə dzakaki. Wi baaŋ a shiki tsəki a fɛiŋ, i jum wə mi wi sakani bə bənsaka wiwɔ, ka bi kwaka i gwu yi a, ‘Namana yaka mih lwaki kə Nyɔ, mih tsɛiŋ dzə́kəh yi mi yi kpɛiŋni kə i mih,BSBBSB: For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5. 5CUGayakalə si kpə ŋkwu wələ nyaki ŋgəkə i mih lə, mih ni yɛiŋ lə a, mih ki sakaki nyaki lə nsaka wi wələ, a kɔbi yaka ma wi ni shiki dzəki nyaki ŋgəkə i mih, ma mi ni kpi i wi kaŋ.’”BSBBSB: yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Otherwise, she will wear me out with her perpetual requests.’”
6. 6CUGSi Bah ti ndi wiwɔ yakadəiŋ, ka dzaka i bɔ a, “Mbɛiŋ wɔ̂kɔ gia yə mi wə wi sakaki kə bənsaka chəŋ si wi nì dzaka.BSBBSB: And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7. 7CUGSi wi nì gamti kpə ŋkwu wiwɔ yaka, yaka kɔ Nyɔ tə bi bɔŋ gamti kə mbu bəni bə̀ wi nì sabibwili, bəh bə̀ bɔ dəki i wi nchɔkɔ bəh nshi a? Ma wi bi chu guku gwu a?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. 8CUGMih fukuki i mbɛiŋ a Nyɔ bi təiŋ lə nsaka wibɔ na ma wi mɔti. Ayaka mi wə yɛli wi kɔ Waiŋmi bi fiəni dzəki, wi bi yɛiŋ lə bəni fa kuku num bɔ jiə shɔm yibɔ i Nyɔ wə a?”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. 9CUGJisɔs dza fiəni ti ndi widɔkɔ a num i bəni bə̀ bɔ ni yɛiŋki gwu yibɔ a bɔ kɔ bəni bə chəŋ, nyɛŋsi bəni bədɔkɔ.BSBBSB: To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
10. 10CUGWi dzaka a, “Bəni bədɔkɔ bəfa nì yaka tsə liə i juŋ yi fəni yi gia wə i tsa. Mi widɔkɔ nì kɔ mi wi Falasi, widɔkɔ num mi wi kwani kiŋwakti.BSBBSB: “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11. 11CUGBɔ tsə liə, mi wi Falasi wə tsə num mfih wi mbɔŋ tsa a, ‘Nyɔ, mih nyaki kiyɔŋni i wɔ kɔm mih kɔkə ka bəni bədɔkɔ. Mih bukuki kə bəh dzə́kəh i biɛiŋ wə. Fə kə kimfikili, biəli kə bəkaŋa bə bəni. Mih kɔkə na ka mi wi kwani kiŋwakti wəyaka.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. 12CUGMih si bam lə dzaka kaŋ yifa i shi wə. I biɛiŋ biŋ bichi biə mi kaŋaki, mih si nya lə fimu i jwɔfi kintəəŋ i wɔ.’BSBBSB: I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13. 13CUGAyakalə, mi wi kwani kiŋwakti wə nì num mfih i dzəh yi dəəŋ, wi nəki giŋsi kə shi bi i tsɛiŋ i bɔɔli bɛiŋ, wi chuŋsi fwu wi, ka kwumi tsɛiŋ tsa a, ‘Ɔ Nyɔ, kwâsi nshɛiŋ i mih, kɔm mih kɔ mi wichu.’”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. 14CUGSi Jisɔs ti ndi wiwɔ yaka, ka dzaka a, “Mih nəŋki i fuku i mbɛiŋ a, mi wi kwani kiŋwakti wələ nì buku ka bə shi tsə i wi dzu wi num chəŋ bəh Nyɔ, a kɔbi ka mi wi Falasi wəyaka. Yi kɔ a liŋ i mi wichi wə wi yaksiki gwu yi, bə bi shisi lə wi, mi wichi wə wi shisiki gwu yi, bə bi yaksiki lə wi.”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. 15CUGBəni dza ka dzəki bəh bwa bənchiŋ i Jisɔs a wi kɔm bɔ. Si bwa bu bə mbaŋ nì yɛiŋ yaka, ka kaŋyiki bɔ.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. 16CUGAyakalə, Jisɔs bɔɔŋ bwa bəwɔ a bɔ dzəki, ka dzaka i bwa bu bə mbaŋ a, “Mbɛiŋ bêe ma bwa bənchiŋ bəwɔ dzə̂ki i mih. Kiə mbɛiŋ ki kâŋyi kə bɔ, kɔm ŋkuŋ bi Nyɔ kɔ num i bəni ka bələ.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. 17CUGMih fukuki ŋkɔŋ i mbɛiŋ a, mi wə wi ka dzɔ̂ dəkə ŋkuŋ bi Nyɔ ka waiŋ wi nchiŋ wələ, wi mɔŋ i bi liə i bi wə.”BSBBSB: Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18. 18CUGMi wimbum widɔkɔ bikə i Jisɔs a, “Mi wi lanini wɔ wə wɔ kɔ mi wi ndzɔŋni, gia yə mih kaŋaki i fə̂ ka mih kaŋa nɔni kə ki bi tsə kaa kə, kɔ na nə a?”BSBBSB: Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19. 19CUGJisɔs bikə i wi a, “Wɔ bɔɔŋ mih a mi wi ndzɔŋni kɔm nə? Mi widɔkɔ kɔkə wə wi ndzɔŋki. Akɔ a Nyɔ shəŋ wə wi ndzɔŋki.BSBBSB: “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
20. 20CUGNtə wɔ kiəki lə bənchi bə Nyɔ bə̀ bɔ dzakaki a, ‘Kiə wɔ ki nɔ̂ kə bəh kpə mi, kiə wɔ ki wɔɔ̂ kə mi, kiə wɔ ki chwɔ̂ kə, kiə wɔ ki bêeŋ kə nsaka wi ntəkə’, bəh wə a, ‘Wɔ kɔ̂ksi ba wa bəh nih wa?’”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. 21CUGWi chukuli a, “Bənchi bələ bəchi kɔ mih nì yisi i jiəki mih kɛiŋ waiŋ sumi.”BSBBSB: “All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
22. 22CUGJisɔs ni wɔkɔ yakadəiŋ, dzaka i wi a, “Ayaka gia yimu kɛiŋki lə yə yi baaŋ ka wɔ fə. Tsə̂ tâŋni biɛiŋ bia bichi, wɔ gâa kpɔ wiwɔ i bəni bə kifuu, ma wɔ bi ka kwati mbum num i tumi ki Nyɔ wə. Wɔ ka fə yakadəiŋ, wɔ bîəli mih.”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. 23CUGWi wɔkɔ yakadəiŋ, gwu kpi wi, kɔm wi nì kaŋaki lə mbum nalə.BSBBSB: But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
24. 24CUGJisɔs tsɛiŋ wi lə, ka dzaka a, “Yi ləkəki lə i mi wimbum i liə i ŋkuŋ bi Nyɔ wə.BSBBSB: Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25. 25CUGYi ləkəki lə na bəh ŋga i mi wimbum i liə i ŋkuŋ bi Nyɔ wə, tsə si yi ləkəki i kikum i liə i dzəŋə yi nsala wə.”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. 26CUGBəni bə̀ bɔ nì wɔkɔ yi, ka bikə a, “Yi kabə num yakadəiŋ, ma ndə bi lansi bɔiŋ a?”BSBBSB: Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27. 27CUGJisɔs chukuli a, “Gia yə yi kɔ i gaka bəni i fə yi kɔkə i gaka Nyɔ i fə.”BSBBSB: But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
28. 28CUGBita dzaka i wi a, “Tsɛ̂iŋ, buku bee biɛiŋ bibuku, ka biəliki wɔ.”BSBBSB: “Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
29. 29CUGJisɔs chukuli i bɔ a, “Mih fukuki ŋkɔŋ i mbɛiŋ a, mi widɔkɔ kɔkə wə wi bee kwili wi, nabə kpə wi nabə bwa bə nih wi, nabə ba wi bəh nih wi nabə bwa bu kɔm bə ŋkuŋ bi Nyɔ,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. 30CUGwə wi bi baaŋ i kwati bəni, bəh biɛiŋ biduli i jɔbi wi liə wələ wə tsə biə wi nì bee, i jɔbi wi dzəni wə wi bi baaŋ kə i kwati nɔni kə ki bi tsə kaa kə.”BSBBSB: will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”
31. 31CUGJisɔs ka dza dzɔ bwa bu bə mbaŋ bə̀ jwɔfi ntsɔ bəfa bəh bɔ baka gwu. Wi dzaka i bɔ a, “Mbɛiŋ wɔ̂kɔli, bukumbɛiŋ si yaka tsə i Jɛlusalɛm jɔbi wə bukumbɛiŋ ni yaka liə fɛiŋ, gia yichi yə bəni bə ntum bə Nyɔ nì nyaka kɔm mi wə yɛli wi kɔ Waiŋmi ni dzə kpɛiŋ.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. 32CUGYi ni ka num a bə ni nya lə wi i kaŋ yi bəni bə dzəni wə, bɔ suŋu wi, bə tɔyi wi, bə chuhyi mindzəŋ i shi bi wə.BSBBSB: He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33. 33CUGBɔ ni twɛiŋ wi bə ŋgaŋa, bə wɔɔ wi, a ni num i kaŋa yitali wə, wi ni dza i kpi wə.”BSBBSB: They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34. 34CUGJisɔs dzaka yaka, yi fumsi bɔ, bɔ nəki wɔkɔ kiə kə a wi dzakaki a nə, kɔm gia yidɔkɔ nì fə a bɔ ma kiə.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. 35CUGJɔbi wə Jisɔs nì kɔmsiki tsəki i kwili wi Jɛliku wə, kimfəkə kidɔkɔ num i dzəh kpəŋ nywa biɛiŋ.BSBBSB: As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
36. 36CUGWi wɔkɔ si mbaŋ wi bəni nì kɔmki tsəki, wi ka bikə a, a numki dzəki nə?BSBBSB: When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
37. 37CUGBɔ chukuli i wi a, akɔ Jisɔs wi Nasali wi tsəki.BSBBSB: “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
38. 38CUGWi ka yisi i wiliki a, “Jisɔs, waiŋ Ŋkuŋ Dɛbit, kwâsi nshɛiŋ i mih.”BSBBSB: So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39. 39CUGBəni bə̀ bɔ nì tsəki i ninshiŋ wam kaŋyi wi dzaka a wi bâŋ. Ayakalə, wi chu fiəni wam na bəh ŋga a, “Waiŋ Ŋkuŋ Dɛbit, kwâsi nshɛiŋ i mih.”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. 40CUGJisɔs ka num, ka dzaka a bə dzə̂ bəh wi. Bə dzə bəh wi, Jisɔs bikə i wi a,BSBBSB: Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had come near, Jesus asked him,
41. 41CUG“Wɔ nəŋki a mih fə̂ nə i wɔ a?” Wi chukuli a, “Bah, fə̂ ma mih yɛ̂iŋki.”BSBBSB: “What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
42. 42CUGJisɔs ka dzaka i wi a, “Yɛ̂iŋ, shɔm ya yə wɔ jiə i mih, yi fə lɔ dzə́kəh ya baiŋ.”BSBBSB: “Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”
43. 43CUGAkisəkə i jɔbi wiwɔ wə, wi ka fiəni yisi i yɛiŋki di. Wi dza ka biəli Jisɔs, chɔŋyi Nyɔ. Bəni bəchi bə̀ bɔ nì kɔ fɛiŋ yɛiŋ yaka, ka nya kiŋkɔksi i Nyɔ.BSBBSB: Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
