Luke 8
1 Yesu ni mri koh ma wlon don ha, ba zren kagon mi gbu ba, ni'g'rji, ni'g'rji kan kan, ba bla tr Irji na nio hla tre ndindi ma nitu koh Irji.
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 Imba gbugbu'u wa Yesu a ju brji rju ni bawu ni kankan rju ni ba wu, ba bi zren baba Yesu, Maryamu wa ba yo Magdali, w a ju brji tangban rju niwu'a.
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 Ni Yuwana, Iwa Kuza, indji u ndu Hiridus, ni Suzana; ni mba gbugbuwu, ni kpi wu yo'u ba wa ba no ba.
Joanna, the wife of Herod's manager Chuza; Susanna; and many more who provided support from their personal resources.
4 Vi ri ba yo jubu ndji kabi ni k'lanri, ni tu wa indji gbugbu ba rji ni mi gbu gbugbuwu si ye toh Yesu, A tre ni bawu ni misali.
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 Indji ri a hi hi bi, bari ba kuhle ni nkon indji ba chan u chinchen ba tan kle.
“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 Bari ba kuhle ni tita bubuwa meme na he ni bran na u ba rju nda lu ni gbron, ba k'ma kyu, nitu bi'a na fie meme na.
Some fell on stony ground, and once the seeds had sprouted they withered for lack of moisture.
7 Bari ba ku'hle nimi nchon, i nchon ba ba rju gbron nda zan gbengble ibi'a nda wu bi'a.
Some seeds fell among thorns and as they both grew the thorns choked the plants.
8 Ibi ba ri ba kuhle ni meme ndindima nda rju gbron bi, na shobi babran, u bari ba sho gbala deri. Wa Yesu tre kle naki nda yo ba, indji wa a he ni ton u wo dun wo.
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 Imri koh Yesu ba myen i ndu hla tu tre'a.
But his disciples asked him, “What does this illustration mean?”
10 A hlabawu, biyi ba no yi duyi ton kpi ba rir, u koh Irji, ni brou di mi ngla ba vu ni misali, ko bani toh bana toh kpi ngana, ba wo tre u nda na toh ba tre nge na.
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 To naki kpie wa Irji a tre yi: ibi'a a tre Irji.
This is the meaning of the illustration: The seed is God's word.
12 Ibi wa ba kuhle ni tu nkon a iri bi wa ba kpa tre Irji u brji ba suron mba hdu ba kahle ga da na yo suron na.
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 Naki, bi wa ba chuku ni tita ba ndji wa ba wo tre Irji nda kpa'u ni ngyiri, u ba na he ni njan na, ba kpa tre'a ni nton tsaa me u ni nton wa ibrji tsra ba, ba kuhle.
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 Ibi wa ba joku ni mi inchon, baba yi ba ndji bi wa ba wo tre Irji, da ba bu koh gbungblu zan gbengble mba, naki, bana no mri bi bi mana.
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 Ibi wa ba joku ni meme ndindima, a hi ndji bi wa ba wo tre, nda kpa ni suron ri, nda ji gbagba da vu suron.
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 Ba ndi ani yo lu nda ka'u ni gbugban, ko ba ka zi ni zah bubu kru, sei baka ka zi ni bubu ma don ndi bata ri baka toh kpan ma.
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 Ba kpe wa a hei riri ma, wa bana shele ana ko kpe u riri wanda na rju ni ra na.
For there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed; there's nothing secret that won't become known and obvious.
18 Yo tu mbi wa bisi woh, du ndji wa ahe ni kpa ba sru tia ni'u u wandi ahe fime, wa ndi asi ri mre, ba vu kpa.
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 U yi Yesu, baba mri vayi ma, ba ye niwu, bana iya ye whewhre ni wu na, ndji ba he gbugbu.
Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived, but they couldn't get through the crowd to see him.
20 Indji ri hla niwu ngye Iyi Me ni mri vayi Me ba he ni ra, ba son toh'u.
Jesus was told, “Your mother and your brothers are outside. They want to see you.”
21 U Yesu ka kasa da tre iyimu baba mri vayi mu, ahi baba iba woh tre Irji nda kpa'u tie.
“My mother and my brothers are those who hear God's word, and do what it says,” Jesus replied.
22 Ni vi ri Yesu ari ni jirgi ma, baba mri kohma, wa tre ndi wa wu ni son duba hi ni granmu, ba wlunde zren ni hi ni granmu'a.
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 Da ba si hi, sei Yesu ka kruna, u guigui ri u gbengblen ma a lunde ni ma, naki u ma lu ni shu ni mi jirgi'a ba he ni mi ya.
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 U mri koh Yesu ba ka sh'me wu ni nna, nda tre, “Ninkon mbu, Ninkon mbu! ki si tewhre qu,” wa lunde nda yra nha ni gyungyu'a ni mma wa si shi'a, ka kukri tsit.
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 Ni ki wa tre ni bawu, i yo suron mbi'a ahe ni ntsen? Sissri tie mri koh ma, ba wri kpa, ikpe wa ba toh ni ki, u ba tre ni kpamba, “Ahi nha yi wayi, wa ani tre hra gyungyu mba mma u nne baka wo'wu?”
“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 Ba ye ni ngbala Gerasines, wa hi whewhre ni gran nne rji ni Galili.
They sailed across to the Gerasene region that lies opposite Galilee.
27 Da Yesu a grji ye meme, u a toh ndji ri ni ngbala koki wa a he ni brji ni kpama. Indji'a ban ton nda na sru nklon na, ana son ni koh na, naka ni son bubu be.
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 Da a toh Yesu, wa kpagro nda kurjoku ni shishi Yesu nda tre ni gbangba ndi, Wu ye tie ngye ni me, Yesu, Ivren Irji ni shulu? Mi bre'wu, na ne yah na.
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 a tredun brji duba rju don wu, ni nton gbugbuwu ibrji ba ba huu, ko ba tya lo ni sraka ani su sraka, meme ibrji ba zu hi ni miji.
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 U Yesu ka mye ndji'a, ba yo'u ndi nha? Wa ka tre ndi inde mu a “gbugbu'u,” Yesu tre ndi iki a brji ba gbugbu wa ba ri ni ndji'a.
“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 Gran dushu u koh bana he gbugbu'u whewhre niki, ibrji ba bre Yesu du duba hi ri ni mi dushu ba, Yesu ka kpa nyime ni bawu.
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 Ibrji ba ba don ndji'a nda ri nimi dushu ba, u grake dushu ba ba ka tsutsu ka ri ni nne, u mma nne'a ka vu ba hi.
so the demons left the man and entered the pigs. The herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned.
34 Inton wa ndji bi ho dushu ba toh kpe wa a tie'a, baka tsutsu nda ka hla kpe wa a tie'a nimi gbu ni kosan gbu'a.
When the pig-keepers saw what had happened they ran off and spread the news through the town and the countryside.
35 Da ndji bawo kpe a tie'a, nda ni ye toh, ba ye gbugbuwu, Yesu he ni ndji'a ndi brji ba rju ni kpama, ba toh a sru nklon nda kri, nda he ni mre ma, u sissri ka tie ba.
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 Indji ba toh kpe 'a ada tie'a, ba hla yada Yesu chu brji'a rju ni ndji'a.
Those who had seen what happened explained how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
37 Du ndji wa ba he ni ngbala Gerasines ni bi wa ba he ni kosangbu'a ba bre Yesu du rju ni gbu mba, don ba klu sissri niki Yesu ni mri koh ma ba ri ni mi jrigi nda hi kpamba.
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 Ndi waibrjibarju ni kpama, a bre Yesu du du wawu hu, Yesu yo inkoh nda tre,
The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away.
39 K'ma hi ni koh mbi, ndi hla ni ndji ikpe wa Irji tie ni wu. Ni ki ndji'a a hi nda ni hla ndji ikpe Yesu tie ni wu.
“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 Da Yesu k'ma ye ndji basi gben'wu.
A crowd of people was there to welcome Jesus when he returned, all eagerly expecting him.
41 Indji wa inde ma Yayirus, iri ni mi mba bi tre Irji, aye nda kukug ngbarju ni Yesu ni meme, da bre du ye ni koh ma.
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 Vivren ma a hama ni si kpa, u sei tso, asi hi bubu ku, a hi wa wu yi vivren wa ni nklen ma, da asi hi indji gbugbu'u basi hu.
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 Wa ri ni gbu'a ata ju jin sie tso, a wu kle ma wa wu ni bi no imum di ba no sie, ba ndji'a iya no sie na.
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 Wa zu ni kogon Yesu nda taba nklon ma, ni ki iyin a kukrie.
She approached Jesus from behind and touched the hem of his cloak. Immediately the bleeding stopped.
45 Yesu tre ahin nha anha ni kpa mu? Bari wa ba he whewhre ni wu ba tre ndi bana taba wuna, Bitrus tre ndi, indji gbugbuwu ba si ma'wu.
“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 Ni kima Yesu ka tre mi toh indrjo a taba nime, gbengblen a rju ni kpamu.
“Someone touched me,” Jesus replied. “I know because power went out from me.”
47 Da iwa a toh wawu na ya ri ngana, nda ye nda ni klu sissri nda kukyu ngbarju ni shishi Yesu nda hla ni kpa di ba di kpe waa sa du wawu taba ni Yesu, u iyi'a ka kukri.
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 Sei wa hla ni wu vre yo'u suron me a du lilo'a kle, hi kpa me ni si suron.
Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your trust has healed you, go in peace.”
49 A mi tre se ndji ri ka rji ni koh tra Irji aye nda tre, vivren wa me'a a kyu ye, na yo'u mala ya na.
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 Da Yesu woh naki a sa ni Jariyus, nda tre na klu sissri na, yo suron, ani lunde.
But when he heard this, Jesus told Jairus, “Don't be afraid. If you trust, she will be healed.”
51 Wa ye ni koh, ana du ndrjo huri ni mi koh'a na, se Bitrus, Yohana u Yakubu ni tie vrenwa'a mba iyi ma.
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 Indji gbugbuu niki ba si yi gbagba me, don vivrenwa'a a kyu. Yesu ka tre du ba ka chuwo ni yi, ana qu na, asi krunna migyen.
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 Ndji ba ba zah u kpa tsri, don ba toh ndi vrenwa'a a qu.
They laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead.
54 A vu ni woh nda si yo nde vivren wa da tre du lunde.
But Jesus took her by the hand, and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!”
55 Ni ki ivren ma ka k'ma ye ni mi kpama wa a lunde, wa a tre du ba no kpe dun rhi.
She came back to life, and she got up at once. Jesus told them to give her something to eat.
56 Ba tie ma mba yi ma, ba bu iyie'u yo nitu da ya, Yesu a hla ni ba wu du ba na hla ni ndrjo kpe wa a tie na.
Her parents were astonished at what had happened, but Jesus instructed them not to tell anyone about it.
