1. 1NCRJiso mo wu ma ŋgaŋ wumu ki wu yɛ̂yɛ booŋ be ba ŋgoo, lɛ bo kɛme ki bo bûunɛ segechii bo ya fwɛɛne gɛ.BSBBSB: Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
2. 2NCRWu jɛmɛ lɛ, “Muh wù sage bansa wumu gɛ̀ bee a kinlaantɛŋ kimi le, wu faane gɛ Nyo gɛ, wu yɛde gɛ jise chi muh le gɛ.BSBBSB: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3. 3NCRKwɛŋkfu wumu gɛ̀ bee tɛ a kinlaantɛŋ kɛɛ le. Wu gɛ̀ gɛɛne segechii wu kude chiaaŋ muh wù sage bansa wɛɛ le lɛ wu fîh wu ki wu sûunɛ nsa we bɛ muh we wu kimbanɛ.BSBBSB: And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4. 4NCRMuh wɛɛ leese gɛ gvune atunu gɛ, kwɛŋkfu wɛɛ mɛ gɛh wu gɛɛne fo. Ajiŋ ayu muh wɛɛ jɛmɛ kikwɛɛ ke le lɛ, ‘No nle fɛnɛ gɛ nfane Nyo gɛ, gɛ muh kooji fiɛɛ a mɛ jii gɛ,BSBBSB: For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5. 5NCRgeenɛ no kwɛŋkfu wunɛ too gɛh wu fuuŋse mɛ nɛ, nlé n'yɛ̂ŋ lɛ nlé nsûunɛ nsa we no wu goone, fuge noo sɛŋ, tu wu lé wu mɛ gɛh wu tôo wu jêese mɛ nɛ, muh lé wu jâ wu kwê lo a wu bo.’”BSBBSB: yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Otherwise, she will wear me out with her perpetual requests.’”
6. 6NCRNo Tada ma noo, wu mo wu jɛmɛ lɛ, “Bɛŋ yu fiɛɛ fì muh wu gɛ̀ sage bansa ba kinfi, wunɛ gɛ jɛme.BSBBSB: And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7. 7NCRNo wu gɛ fi kwɛŋkfu wɛɛ nɛ, gɛ taŋlo Nyo fi tɛ bamii be ba wu le wu cha wa ba beede fɛ wu le antaŋ bɛ fɛnshɛ gɛ? Taŋlo wu tu wu chiide lo ye?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. 8NCRNsɛŋe bɛŋ le lɛ Nyo lé wu sûunɛ lo nsa wuboo chige. Geenɛ muh wù jee che le Mwamuh doo wu kaase wu too, wu lé wu yɛ̂ŋ bamii nyu yu ba leese muntele yi Nyo le fɛkuu fɛnɛ noo?”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. 9NCRJiso ja wu ka wu ma ŋgaŋ wumu, nyu bamii ba gɛ̀ yɛde ye yiboo le, lɛ bo le bamii ba chaaŋ, bo mo bo tu bo nyiɛŋse lo bamii bamu.BSBBSB: To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
10. 10NCRWu jɛmɛ lɛ, “Bamii bamu bafɛɛ gɛ̀ bee bo bɛɛŋ bo gɛɛŋ yeh yi kintanyɛ le, ki bo buunɛ. Muh mu gɛ̀ bee muh Bafalashii, wumu nyu muh wù koode ŋwa.BSBBSB: “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11. 11NCRBo gɛɛŋ bo lee yeh yi kintanyɛ le, muh wu Bafalashii wɛɛ gɛɛŋ wu lɛɛŋ fie wu mo wu buunɛ lɛ, ‘Nyo, nnyaa wo kiyone njɛ gɛ mɛ nyume nje bamii bamu gɛ. Gɛ n'yɛɛde ajii yi mwɛɛ le gɛ. Gɛ nfige kinfi gɛ. Gɛ njaŋe bikɛɛ bamii lɛ gɛ, gɛ mɛ nyume tɛ njɛ muh wù koode ŋwa wege gɛ.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. 12NCRNto mbane mwɛɛ munjile aju afaa yi kimaa le. Nto nnyaa kimbe kimimia wo le a ntɛnɛɛ a bimbe yuufe bi mwɛɛ munchii mu ŋkɛme.’BSBBSB: I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13. 13NCRGeenɛ, muh wù gɛ̀ koode ŋwa wɛɛ gɛ̀ lɛɛŋ fie je yì ndefe le, wu gɛ bijɛ mo we gɛ, wu so kikwɛɛ, wu koo yii, wu mo wu buunɛ lɛ, ‘O Nyo, nle fiaŋ muh wù befe, kôo yii fɛ mɛne.’”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. 14NCRNo Jiso ma nɛ, wu mo wu du lɛ, “Nsɛŋe bɛŋ le lɛ muh wù gɛ̀ koode ŋwa wɛɛ gɛ̀ bu wu bohge a wu yeh, wù nyu chaaŋ a Nyo jii fede muh wu Bafalashii wɛɛ. Le gɛh yɛɛŋyɛɛŋ no muh wuchii wù bɛɛŋse ye ye, lé ba nyû ba gê ba shiishɛ lo wu, muh wuchii wù shiishi kikwɛɛ ke, ba lé ba gê ba bɛ̂ɛŋsɛ lo wu.”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. 15NCRBamii gɛ̀ ja bo too bɛ booŋ ba shige shige fɛ Jiso le lɛ wu kuŋ bo le. Booŋ be ba ŋgoo yɛŋ noo, bo tu bo leese lo bo.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. 16NCRGeenɛ, Jiso tɛɛŋ booŋ bayu lɛ bo tôo, wu mo wu jɛmɛ booŋ be ba ŋgoo le lɛ, “Bɛŋ chînɛ booŋ ba shige shige too fɛ mɛne. Keefɛ bɛŋ jêese bo gɛ, nje bvunfoŋ bvu Nyo, le nyu fɛ bamii ba le nje booŋ banɛ le.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. 17NCRNsɛŋe bɛŋ nchiɛɛŋ lɛ, muh wù baaŋ fi gɛ bvunfoŋ bvu Nyo njɛ mwa wù shige gɛ, tu gɛ wu nyu wu ge wu lee fɛ bvunfoŋ bvuyu le gɛ.”BSBBSB: Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18. 18NCRMuh wù baaŋ wumu biih Jiso le lɛ, “Muh wu N'yɛyɛ, wo wù muh wù joŋe, fiɛɛ fì ŋkɛme ki ŋge fɛ ŋkɛmɛ kinche kì kage gɛ, le la?”BSBBSB: Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19. 19NCRJiso biih wu le lɛ, “Wo tɛŋe mɛ lɛ muh wù joŋe nje la? Gɛ muh nyu yu wù joŋe gɛ. Mɛ gɛh Nyo maa wù joŋe.BSBBSB: “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
20. 20NCRGeenɛ, ki ntu jiŋ yi fiɛɛ fì wo be bilɛ le, wo kee gɛ banchi ba duu lɛ, ‘Keefɛ wo jâŋ kwɛ muh gɛ, keefɛ wo yûuyɛ muh gɛ, keefɛ wo chôŋ bvuchoŋ gɛ, keefɛ wo bɛ̂ɛ jiŋ yi nsa wu chimbiaŋ gɛ’, bɛ lɛ, ‘Wo ŋgvûune chijo bɛ bwoo’ gɛ?”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. 21NCRWu chvuu lɛ, “Banchi banɛ bachii ŋgɛ ŋkɛ wa ŋgɛɛde mbaaŋ chumu.”BSBBSB: “All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
22. 22NCRJiso yu noo, wu jɛmɛ wu le lɛ, “Tu fiɛɛ le fi shɛɛ fimimia fì wo baaŋ wo ge. Gɛnɛ, wo gesɛ mwɛɛ mwuŋ munchii, wo ga bige biyu bamii ba fuude le, wo mo wo kɛme nchvu nyu woŋ wù fɛwe. Wo doo wo ge noo, wo mo wo tô wo bîi mɛne.”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. 23NCRGeenɛ lɛ wu yu noo, ye mo yi wooŋ lo wu, nje wu gɛ̀ kɛme kwa baaŋ.BSBBSB: But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
24. 24NCRJiso biji wu nɛ, wu jɛmɛ lɛ, “Fi tɛɛme baaŋ fɛ muh wu kwa lee fɛ bvunfoŋ bvu Nyo le.BSBBSB: Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25. 25NCRFi le chige fɛ nyambala le ki yi lêe a jise chi nsala le fede fɛ muh wu kwa ki wu lêe yi bvunfoŋ bvu Nyo le.”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. 26NCRBamii ba gɛ̀ bee fo yu noo, bo biih lɛ, “Finɛ le noo, yu to bonɛ yɛɛŋ?”BSBBSB: Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27. 27NCRGeenɛ Jiso chvuu lɛ, “Gɛ fiɛɛ fì ghage bamii ki bo ge taŋlo fi gha Nyo no wu ge gɛ.”BSBBSB: But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
28. 28NCRBita jɛmɛ wu le lɛ, “Bîjɛ yɛ̂ŋ, bee le be chinɛ wa mwɛɛ mwesa le, bee tu be bii wo le.”BSBBSB: “Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
29. 29NCRJiso chvuu bo le lɛ, “Nsɛɛŋ bɛŋ nchiɛɛŋ lɛ, gɛ muh nyume yu wù le wu chinɛ la che le, kɛnɛ kwɛɛ le, kɛnɛ booŋ ba bwee le, kɛnɛ chiji le bɛ bwee le, kɛnɛ booŋ be le, nje bvunfoŋ bvu Nyo,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. 30NCRwu ge wu nyu wu nyume njɛ wu kɛmɛ bamii bɛ mwɛɛ wesee yi kiŋkfuuŋ kinɛ le yage mù wu chinɛ le gɛ. Lé tô nyûme yi kife ki kiŋkfuuŋ kì too le, wu kɛ̂me kinche kì kage gɛ.”BSBBSB: will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”

33. 33NCRBa taane wu bɛ munte, ba yuuyɛ wu, ge doo nyume aju atade, wu bu yi kwe le.”BSBBSB: They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”

35. 35NCRJiso gɛ̀ doo wu fede a kinlaantɛŋ ki Jɛliku le, kinfeeŋ kimi shii jwe wu je le, ki lɛge mwɛɛ.BSBBSB: As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.

40. 40NCRJiso yu, wu lɛɛŋ wu jɛmɛ lɛ bo to bɛ wu. Bo to bɛ wu, Jiso biih wu le lɛ,BSBBSB: Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had come near, Jesus asked him,
41. 41NCR“Wo goone lɛ ŋge la fɛ wo le?” Wu chvuu lɛ, “Tada, gêe lɛ ŋka yɛnɛ mwɛɛ le.”BSBBSB: “What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
