Luka 8
1 Uso na nin dandaunu ba, Yesu cizina ucin nanya nigbir ngangan na nitari, nbellu nliru ucine, kitene kipin tigo Kutelle, inung likure nya nanghe.
Soon after this Jesus went around the towns and villages announcing the good news of God's kingdom. The twelve disciples went with him,
2 Among awani alenga na iwa kalla nani Uruhu unanzan nan tikonu. Inughere, Maryamu ule na idin yicughe Magdaliya, Kitime iwa kalla ghe agbergenu kuzor.
along with a number of women who had been healed from evil spirits and sickness: Mary called Magdalene from whom he had cast out seven demons;
3 Yuwana uwanin Kuza, unan katuwa Hirdus, Suzana, nan namon awani gbardang, alenge na iwa buun nani nin nimon nacara mine.
Joanna, the wife of Herod's manager Chuza; Susanna; and many more who provided support from their personal resources.
4 Nene na ligozi nanit gbardang nzura ligowe, umunu anit ale na iwa cinu udak kiti mye unuzu nigbir gbardang, asu uliru nanghinu nin tinan tigoldo.
Once when a large crowd of people gathered, coming from many towns to see him, Jesus spoke to them, using a story as an illustration.
5 Unan tibila ndo nbilisu nimus, na adi tibile imon imusu disso, libau, ipatila inin nin nabunu anyin kitene kani da pilla inin.
“A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he scattered the seed, some fell on the road where people trampled on it and birds ate it up.
6 Imon imus disso kiti ikoto, bara na idinin nmyin ba.
Some fell on stony ground, and once the seeds had sprouted they withered for lack of moisture.
7 Har nene imon imus disso kiti nimart, na imarte nkuno ligowe nin nimuse, imarte buco imuse.
Some seeds fell among thorns and as they both grew the thorns choked the plants.
8 Bara nani imon imus disso kutyin kucine inin na iyoli na iwa duru akat kazakure.” Kube na Yesu nbelle nani, ayicila nani, “Vat nlonge na adinin natuf na alanza.”
Some seeds fell on good earth and after they grew they produced a harvest one hundred times more than what had been sown.” After he told them this, he called out, “If you have ears, then listen!”
9 Inung nono kadura mye tiringhe iyaghari tinan tigoldo mye di nbellu.
But his disciples asked him, “What does this illustration mean?”
10 Yesu woro nani, “Ina ni munu kubi iyinin imon linyeshin kitene kipin tigo Kutelle, bara kagisine iba bellu nani nin tinan tigoldo, 'iba yenju na iba yene gegeme ba, iba lanzu, na iba yinnu ba.'
Jesus replied, “You've been given insights into the mysteries of God's kingdom, but the rest are given illustrations so that, ‘Even though they see, they don't really see; and even though they hear, they don't really understand.’
11 Nene tinan tigoldo tinere, imuse uliru Kutelle ri.
This is the meaning of the illustration: The seed is God's word.
12 Imus ile na idisso libou, innere anit alenge na ilanza ligbulang nliru, shetan uni nda ada bollo ligbulang nliru nanya nibinai bara iwa yinin ise utucu.
The seeds that fall on the road are those who hear the message, but then the devil comes and steals away the truth from their minds so they won't trust in God and be saved.
13 Inin ile na idisso kiti natala anitari alenge na ilanza ligbulang nliruwe, inani sere nin liburi liboo na iyisin nin likara ba, inung sa iyinna bara kubi baat, kubi na igwada nani asa idio.
The seeds that fall on the stony ground are those who hear and welcome the message with joy but don't have any roots. They trust for a while but when difficult times come they give up.
14 Imus ile na idisso kiti nimart inughere anit alenge na ilanza ligbulang nliru, inani nsuna linin inani nda parda nani nin nbellen nikurfung nin nlanzu nmang nlai, na isa ina imus ile na idisso kutyin kucine.
The seeds that fall among thorns are those who hear the message but it's choked out by life's distractions—worries, wealth, pleasure—so they don't produce anything.
15 Inughere anit ale idinin kibinai kilau ninn nan nbellu kidegen, na imala ulanzu nlire, imino unin nin likara, isu kumat nin likara.
The seeds sown on good earth are those who are honest and do what is right. They hear the message of truth, hold on to it, and through their perseverance produce a good harvest.
16 Nene, na umon duku ule na aba ti ulah npitila awufu nin kishik, sa a ceo nanya lii nkoni, se dei atarda unin kutet, vat nlenge na apira ama yenu nkananghe.
You don't light a lamp and then cover it with a bucket, or hide it under a bed. No, you put it on a stand, so that anyone who comes in can see the light.
17 Na imomon nyeshin, ilenge na una sali sa uyinnu ba, a na imomon nyeshin ile na iba yinnu idak nanya nkanang.
For there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed; there's nothing secret that won't become known and obvious.
18 Suun seng nanya nlanzu, vat nlenge na adumun, amere iba kpinghe ku, ame ule na asali mun, iba seru ile na adin kpilizu a adumun.”
So pay attention how you ‘hear.’ To those who have received, more will be given; from those who don't receive, even what they think they have will be taken away!”
19 Kubi na unan Yesu nin nuane wa kiti mye, iwase uduru kupo mye ba, bara gbardang nanit.
Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived, but they couldn't get through the crowd to see him.
20 Ibellin ghe, “Unafe nin nuanafine yisin ndas, idinin su iyene fi.”
Jesus was told, “Your mother and your brothers are outside. They want to see you.”
21 Yesu kauwa aworo nani, “Una nighe nin nwana nighe, inunghere alenge na idin nwana nighe, inughere alenge na idin lanzu uliru Kutelle idorto unin.”
“My mother and my brothers are those who hear God's word, and do what it says,” Jesus replied.
22 Nene uso nlon liyiri, Yesu nin nono kadura mye ipira nanya nzirgin nmyen, a woro, “Nati kafin udu uleli uwul kulle.” Itunna ndinna ikafinar.
One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let's cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set off.
23 Na idinna ukafine, Yesu tina nmoro fiyilili nfunu fita kang nanya kulle, uzirge kullo nin nmyen itunna ipira nanya tikanci.
As they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep, and a storm came down on the lake. The boat began filling with water and they were in danger of sinking.
24 Nono katuwa mye di fiyaghe, iworo, “Cikilari, Cikilari, nmyen ba millu nari!” A fita akpada ufune nin mye ne, fiyilili yisina kite so dang.
They went over to Jesus and woke him up. “Master, master, we're going to drown!” they said. Jesus woke up and commanded the wind and the rough waves to stop. They stopped, and all was calm.
25 Uyinnu mine, sa uyene de atirino nono katuwa mye nanya fiu nin kiti tinu itirino atimine, ghari ule adi kpadizu ufunu nin nmyen, inani din dortu ghe?”
“Where is your trust?” he asked them. Terrified and amazed, they said to each other, “So who is this? He gives commands to the winds and the water, and they obey him!”
26 Ikafina udu kipin Ngarisinawa, na ki nleli uwul Ngalili.
They sailed across to the Gerasene region that lies opposite Galilee.
27 Kubi na Yesu yisina nbiu kurawa, a zuro nin nmong unan nilaza nanya kipine, nin dandaunu na adin nsho. Imon a sosin kilari ba, asosin nissek.
When Jesus stepped out of the boat onto the shore, a demon-possessed man from the town came to meet him. For a long time he hadn't worn any clothes or lived in a house. He lived in the tombs.
28 Na ayene Yesu ku, usu agilla adio nabunu mye, atah ntet kang, “Iyaghari udin piziru kiti nighe Yesu gono Kutelle? Inan kitene, ndin nfofi nacara yenje uwa fuuni ba.”
When he saw Jesus he screamed, fell down at Jesus' feet, and asked in a loud voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Please don't torture me, I beg you!”
29 Yesu atta uruhu unazan ghe a nuzu nanya nnite, nkon kubi gbardang asa imone yiraghe. Inani sa itaghe inyang naccara nin nabunu, iceoghe unan ncaa, asa atasa inya ghe agbergenu wunnu ghe udi niti ninanzang.
For Jesus had already commanded the evil spirit to leave the man. It had often seized him, and despite being tied down with chains and shackles, and placed under guard, he would break the chains apart and would be driven by the demon into the desert areas.
30 Yesu tiringhe, “Lisafe ghari?” A kawoghe, “Libutari,” Bara agbergenu gbardang di nanya mye.
“What is your name?” Jesus asked him. “Legion,” he replied, for many demons had entered him.
They begged Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Ligo naladu wa di kileo kusari, agbbergenu foo Yesu ku acara, asun nani, ipiru nanya naladu, Yesu yinna nani.
There was a large herd of pigs feeding on the nearby hillside, and the demons begged him to be allowed to go into the pigs. Jesus gave them permission,
33 Na agbergenu nnuzu nanya nnite, idi piru nanya naladue, itunna iputu nin ncum idi diu kule ituna iwulu.
so the demons left the man and entered the pigs. The herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned.
34 Na anan libiya nalade nyene ile na isu, ido nanya kipine nin ncum, idi bellin kagbire nin nanya kipine.
When the pig-keepers saw what had happened they ran off and spread the news through the town and the countryside.
35 Anite nuzu idi kiti Yesu, ise unite ule na agbergenu nnuzu kiti mye, sosin nabunun Yesu, nin nimon kidowa nin kibinai dert, ilanza fiu.
The people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus they found the man freed from the demons. He was sitting there at Jesus' feet, wearing clothes and in his right mind; and they became scared.
36 Alenge na iyene nani ibelle anite inda na agbergenu nnuzu, unite uni nshino.
Those who had seen what happened explained how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
37 Vat nanite kipin Ngarisinawa woro Yesu ku asun nani, bara anite apira uzirgi nmyen a nya.
Then all the people from the Gerasene region asked Jesus to leave because they were overwhelmed by fear. So he got into the boat and went back.
38 Unite ulenge na agbergenu nnuzu kiti mye, foo Yesu ku acara adofinghe. Yesu kpiliya ghe aworo,
The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away.
39 “Kpilla kilari, ubellin ile imon na Kutelle nsu fi, unite kpilla abelle nanya kipine vat nile imon na Yesu nsu ghe.
“Go back home, and tell people all that God has done for you,” Jesus told him. So he went away, telling the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.
40 Na Yesu nkpilla, ligozi nanite ta ghe mahabi, bara vat mine di ncaa mye.
A crowd of people was there to welcome Jesus when he returned, all eagerly expecting him.
41 Umon unit lisa mye Jairus, udia kutyi nlirag ada dio nabunu Yesu nfo ghe nacara adak kilari mye,
One was a man called Jairus, a synagogue leader, who came and fell at Jesus' feet. He pleaded with Jesus to come to his home
42 bara gono kishono mye kirum, unan nakus likure, anon fawal, na Yesu wa cinu uduwe, ligozi keseghe.
because his only daughter was dying. She was about twelve years old. While Jesus was on his way there, people were crowding around him.
43 Umong uwani wa duku, ulenge na awadi nanya nmyi, akus likare, na ase unan nshinu ninghe ba.
In the crowd was a woman who had suffered with bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all she had on doctors, but none of them had been able to help her.
44 Ada mamal mye, adodo imon mye likot nanya kube nmyi mye yisina.
She approached Jesus from behind and touched the hem of his cloak. Immediately the bleeding stopped.
45 “Ghari ndudui?” Yesu tirino, vat mine ta amusuku, Bitrus woro, “Cikilari, anite di gbardang ina ni din parduzu fi.”
“Who touched me?” Jesus asked. Everybody around denied doing so. “But Master,” said Peter, “there are people crowding around you, and they keep pushing up against you.”
46 Yesu woro, “Umong ndudui, yinno likara nnuzu kiti nighe.”
“Someone touched me,” Jesus replied. “I know because power went out from me.”
47 Uwani nin nyene, na awanya anya likire ba, ada nin ketizu adeo nabunu mye. Nbun nanite vat, abelle ile imon na ita amini ndudoghe, nin inda na atunna ashino.
When the woman realized she couldn't go unnoticed, she came forward, trembling, and fell down before him. Right in front of everybody she explained the reason why she had touched Jesus, and that she'd been cured immediately.
48 Atunna aworo, “Ushono, nigh uyinu sa uyenu fe nshino ninfi. Can sheu.”
Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your trust has healed you, go in peace.”
49 Kube na Yesu wadi nliru, umon da kiti mye unuzu kilarin Jairus udia kutyi nliran, “Ushono fe, nkuu. Yenje uwa damu unan dursuzu ninyerte.
While he was still speaking, someone came from the home of the synagogue leader to tell him, “Your daughter's dead. You don't need to bother the Teacher any longer.”
50 Nin lanzu nani, Yesu woro, “Jairus ku, yenje uwa lanza fiu, yinna ushono fe ba shinu.”
But when he heard this, Jesus told Jairus, “Don't be afraid. If you trust, she will be healed.”
51 Kubi na aduru kilarin Jairus, na ayinna umon pira ninghe ba, se Bitrus nin Yohanna a Yakubu, a ucif nin nnan ngone.
When Jesus arrived at the house he didn't allow anyone else to go in except Peter, John, and James, and the girl's father and mother.
52 Vzat ninite yita kuculu nin tiyom, “Cinnon kuculu Yesu woro na akuu wari ba, adi nmorari.”
All the people there were crying and mourning for her. “Don't cry,” Jesus told them. “She's not dead, she's just sleeping.”
53 Isisaghe, bara inug yiru a kuu, wari.
They laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead.
54 Akiffo ghee ncara a woro, “Gono nig fita.”
But Jesus took her by the hand, and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!”
55 Ulai mye kpila, nanya mye, kubi atuna afita, Yesu woro nani inighe imomon alii.
She came back to life, and she got up at once. Jesus told them to give her something to eat.
56 Anit mye kiffo tinu, yesu woro nani na iwa bellin umon imon ile na idi ba.
Her parents were astonished at what had happened, but Jesus instructed them not to tell anyone about it.
