Mark 9
1 And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There are some here who will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God come with power.
Yesu yi edzi gblɔ na eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Nyateƒe gblɔm mele na mi be, mia dometɔ aɖewo, siwo le afi sia la anɔ agbe va se ɖe esime mawufiaɖuƒe la nava le ŋusẽ gã aɖe me.”
2 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and made them go up with him into a high mountain by themselves: and he was changed in form before them:
Le ŋkeke ade megbe la, Yesu kplɔ Petro, Yakobo kple Yohanes woyi to kɔkɔ aɖe tame. Ame aɖeke menɔ teƒe sia o. Esi woɖo afi ma teti ko la, Yesu ƒe mo de asi keklẽ me kple ŋutikɔkɔe,
3 And his clothing became shining, very white, as no cleaner on earth would make it.
eye eƒe awu si wòdo la trɔ fu tititi. Awu la fu ale gbegbe be, naneke mele xexea me ate ŋu awɔe wòafu nenema o.
4 And there came before them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
Azɔ Eliya kple Mose wova do ɖe Yesu gbɔ, wode asi dzeɖoɖo me kplii.
5 And Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tents; one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
Petro gblɔ na Yesu be, “Nufiala, enyo na mí be míanɔ afi sia. Mína míatu agbadɔ etɔ̃, ɖeka na wò, ɖeka na Mose, eye ɖeka na Eliya.”
6 Because he was not certain what to say, for they were in great fear.
(Egblɔ esia, elabena menya nu si wòagblɔ o, wovɔ̃ ŋutɔ.)
7 And a cloud came over them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, give ear to him.
Esi Petro nɔ nya siawo gblɔm la, lilikpo aɖe va tsyɔ wo dzi, hexe ɣe la ŋkume. Gbe aɖe ɖi tso lilikpo la me be, “Esia nye vinye lɔlɔ̃a. Miɖo toe.”
8 And suddenly looking round about, they saw no one any longer, but Jesus only with themselves.
Kasia, nusrɔ̃la etɔ̃awo megakpɔ ame aɖeke le wo gbɔ o, negbe Yesu ɖeka ko, elabena Mose kple Eliya wodzo.
9 And while they were coming down from the mountain, he gave them orders not to give word to any man of the things they had seen, till the Son of man had come back from the dead.
Esi wonɔ ɖiɖim tso toa dzi gbɔna la, Yesu de se na nusrɔ̃lawo vevie be womegagblɔ nu si teƒe wokpɔ la na ame aɖeke o, negbe le Amegbetɔ Vi la ƒe tsitretsitsi tso ame kukuwo dome megbe ko.
10 And they kept the saying, questioning among themselves what the coming back from the dead might be.
Ale nusrɔ̃lawo ɣla nya siawo ɖe woƒe dziwo me, gake zi geɖe la, woƒoa nu le eŋu, eye wobua ta me vevie le nu si tututu Yesu gblɔna be, “Tsitretsitsi tso ame kukuwo dome” la ŋu.
11 And they put a question to him, saying, Why do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?
Wobiae be, “Nu ka ta agbalẽfialawo nɔa gbɔgblɔm be ele be Eliya nava gbã ɖo?”
12 And he said to them, Truly, Elijah does come first, and puts all things in order; and how is it said in the Writings that the Son of man will go through much sorrow and be made as nothing?
Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Le nyateƒe me la, Eliya va xoxo, eye wòɖɔ nuwo katã ɖo. Azɔ nu ka ta woŋlɔe ɖi le Amegbetɔ Vi la ŋu be, akpe fu geɖe, eye woagbe nu le egbɔ ɖo?
13 But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they have done to him whatever they were pleased to do, even as the Writings say about him.
Ke mele egblɔm na mi be, Eliya va, wowɔ nu sia nu si wodi be yewoawɔe la abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖi la ene.”
14 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great mass of people about them, and scribes questioning them.
Esi wova ɖo toa te la, wokpɔ be ameha gã aɖe ƒo xlã nusrɔ̃la mamlɛawo, eye Yudatɔwo ƒe agbalẽfialawo nɔ nya hem kpli wo.
15 And straight away all the people, when they saw him, were full of wonder, and running to him, gave him worship.
Esi ameha la kpɔ Yesu la, vɔvɔ̃ ɖo wo, ke woƒu du yi egbɔ be yewoado gbe nɛ.
16 And he said, What are you questioning them about?
Yesu bia wo be, “Nya ka tututu hem miele?”
17 And one of the number said to him in answer, Master, I came to you with my son, who has in him a spirit which takes away his power of talking;
Ame ɖeka le ameawo dome do ɣli gblɔ be, “Nufiala meɖe kuku, vinyee mekplɔ vɛ na wò be nàda gbe le eŋu nam. Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ aɖe le eme si wɔe be mete ŋu ƒoa nu o.
18 And wherever it takes him, it puts him down violently, streaming at the lips and twisted with pain; and his strength goes from him; and I made a request to your disciples to send it out, and they were not able.
Nyateƒe ne gbɔgbɔ baɖa sia dze edzi la, ekɔnɛ xlãna ɖe anyi ŋɔdzitɔe, eye futukpɔ dona le enu, eɖua aɖukli, eye eƒe lãme liana kakoo. Meɖe kuku na wò nusrɔ̃lawo be woanya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la le eme, gake womete ŋui o.”
19 And he said to them in answer, O generation without faith, how long will I have to be with you? how long will I put up with you? let him come to me.
Yesu trɔ ɖe nusrɔ̃lawo ŋu hegblɔ na wo be, “O! Mi xɔse ʋɛtɔ siawo, ŋkeke neni wòle be manɔ anyi kpli mi hafi miaxɔ dzinye ase? Aleke gbegbe magbɔ dzi ɖi na mi? Mikplɔ ɖevi la vɛ nam.”
20 And they took him to him: and when he saw him, the spirit in him straight away became violent; and he went down on the earth, rolling about and streaming at the lips.
Ale wokplɔ ɖevi la yi na Yesu, gake kaka wòakpɔ Yesu ko la, gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la xlãe ɖe anyigba sesĩe; eƒo dablibɛ le anyigba, eye futukpɔ hã nɔ dodom le enu.
21 And Jesus questioning the father said, How long has he been like this? And he said, From a child.
Yesu bia ɖevia fofo be, “Tso ɣe ka ɣi ke wòle dɔ sia lém?” Fofoa ɖo eŋu be, “Tso keke eƒe ɖevime ke.
22 And frequently it has sent him into the fire and into the water, for his destruction; but if you are able to do anything, have pity on us, and give us help.
Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ sia nana wòdzea dzo me alo tsi me, eye wòdi kokoko be yeawui. Ao! Meɖe kuku kpɔ míaƒe nublanui, ne àte ŋui la, nàwɔ nane tso eŋuti na mí.”
23 And Jesus said to him, If you are able! All things are possible to him who has faith.
Yesu gabiae be, “Ɖe nègblɔ be ne mate ŋuia? Nu sia nu wɔwɔ le bɔbɔe ne èxɔe se ko.”
24 Straight away the father of the child gave a cry, saying, I have faith; make my feeble faith stronger.
Fofoa ɖo eŋu enumake be, “Xɔse le asinye. Ao, ve nunye be nye xɔse sia nadzi ɖe edzi!”
25 And when Jesus saw that the people came running together, he gave orders to the unclean spirit, saying to him, You, spirit, who are the cause of his loss of voice and hearing, I say to you, come out of him, and never again go into him.
Yesu kpɔ be ameha la nɔ agbɔ sɔm ɖe edzi, eya ta eɖe gbe na gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la be, “Gbɔgbɔ maƒonu, tokunɔ gbɔgbɔ, meɖe gbe na wò be, nàdo go le ɖevi sia me fifi laa, mèkpɔ mɔ agage ɖe eme azɔ o.”
26 And after crying out and shaking him violently, it came out: and the child became like one dead; so that most of them said, He is dead.
Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la do ɣli sesĩe, ganyama ɖevi la nublanuitɔe, hedo go le eme. Azɔ ɖevi la fa miamiamia ɖe anyigba, heli kpoo abe ɖe wòku ene. Ale ameawo katã gblɔ be eku.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, lifting him up; and he got up.
Ke Yesu lé eƒe alɔnu, na wòtsi tsitre, eye nukutɔe la, eƒe lãme sẽ.
28 And when he had gone into the house, his disciples said to him privately, Why were we unable to send it out?
Azɔ esi Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo ɖeɖe wonɔ aƒe si me wodze la, nusrɔ̃lawo biae be, “Nu ka ta míawo míete ŋu nya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la do goe o ɖo?”
29 And he said to them, Nothing will make this sort come out but prayer.
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Nu siawo ƒomevi wɔwɔ hiã gbedodoɖa kple nutsitsidɔ.”
30 And they went out from there, through Galilee; and it was his desire that no man might have knowledge of it;
Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dzo le afi ma, eye woɖo ta Galilea nuto me. Yesu dze agbagba vevie be amewo nagakpɔ ye o,
31 For he was giving his disciples teaching, and saying to them, The Son of man is given up into the hands of men, and they will put him to death; and when he is dead, after three days he will come back from the dead.
edi be yeakpɔ ɣeyiɣi geɖe afia nu yeƒe nusrɔ̃lawo. Zi geɖe ne ele nu fiam wo la, egblɔna na wo be, “Woade Amegbetɔ Vi la asi, woawui, gake le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe la, magatsi tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome.”
32 But the saying was not clear to them, and they were in fear of questioning him about it.
Nusrɔ̃lawo mete ŋu se nya siawo gɔme o, gake ale si woawɔ abiae la hã zu dɔ; wonɔ vɔvɔ̃m.
33 And they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house, he put the question to them, What were you talking about on the way?
Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va ɖo Kapernaum. Esi wova ɖo aƒe si me wodze me la, Yesu bia nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Esi míenɔ mɔa dzi gbɔna ɖe, nya ka ʋlim mienɔ?”
34 But they said nothing: because they had had an argument between themselves on the way, about who was the greatest.
Nyateƒe, nya sia ŋu ɖoɖo sesẽ na nusrɔ̃lawo, elabena nya si hem wonɔ la ku ɖe ame si nye wo katã ƒe amegã la ŋu.
35 And seating himself, he made the twelve come to him; and he said to them, If any man has the desire to be first, he will be last of all and servant of all.
Yesu nɔ anyi, yɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo ƒo ƒu, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Ame si di be yeanye mi katã ƒe amegã la, ele nɛ be wòanye suetɔ kekeake gbã, ɛ̃, ele be wòanye mi katã ƒe subɔla!”
36 And he took a little child, and put him in the middle of them; and taking him in his arms, he said to them,
Azɔ ekplɔ ɖevi sue aɖe va wo titinae, kɔe ɖe eƒe abɔwo dome, eye wògblɔ na wo be,
37 Whoever will give honour to one such little child in my name, gives honour to me: and whoever gives honour to me, gives honour not to me, but to him who sent me.
“Ame si axɔ ɖevi sue aɖe abe esia ene le nye ŋkɔ me la, nyee nye ema wòxɔ, eye ame si axɔm la, menye nyee wòxɔ o, ke boŋ Fofonye si dɔm lae wòxɔ!”
38 John said to him, Master, we saw one driving out evil spirits in your name: and we said that he might not, because he is not one of us.
Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka si woyɔna be Yohanes la gblɔ nɛ be, “Nufiala, míekpɔ ame aɖe si tsɔ wò ŋkɔ nɔ gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo nyamee le amewo me. Ale míegbe nɛ be megawɔe o, elabena menye mía dometɔ ɖeka wònye o.”
39 But Jesus said, Say not so: for there is no man who will do a great work in my name, and be able at the same time to say evil of me.
Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Migagbe nɛ o, elabena ame si le nukunu aɖe wɔm le nye ŋkɔ dzi la, mate ŋu anye nye futɔ o.
40 He who is not against us is for us.
Ame si metsi tsitre ɖe mía ŋu o la, ele míaƒe akpa dzi.
41 Whoever gives you a cup of water, because you are Christ's, truly I say to you, he will in no way be without his reward.
Yesu yi edzi be, ‘Vavã mele egblɔm na mi bena, ne ame aɖe na tsi kplu ɖeka mi be miano elabena mienye Kristo tɔ la, ame sia mabu fetu si wòaxɔ la o.’
42 And whoever is a cause of trouble to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea.
“Gake ne ame aɖe awɔe be ɖevi sue siawo dometɔ ɖeka nabu xɔse si le esi ɖe ŋunye la, ne wotsi kpe gã aɖe ɖe kɔ nɛ hekɔe ƒu gbe ɖe atsiaƒu me la, anyo nɛ wu sãa.
43 And if your hand is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off; it is better for you to go into life with one hand than to have two hands and go into hell, into the eternal fire. (Geenna g1067)
Ne wò asi nana be nèwɔa nu vɔ̃ la, lãe ɖa. Enyo na wò be nàge ɖe mawufiaɖuƒe la me kple asikpo wu be asi eve nanɔ ŋuwò nàyi dzomavɔʋe me, afi si dzo metsina le o. [ (Geenna g1067)
Afi si, “‘woƒe nye mekuna le o, eye dzo la hã metsina le o.]’
45 And if your foot is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off: it is better for you to go into life with one foot than to have two feet and go into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Ne wò afɔ nana be nèwɔa nu vɔ̃ la, lãe ɖa. Enyo na wò be nàge ɖe agbe la me kple afɔkpo wu esi afɔ eve nanɔ asiwò, woakɔ wò aƒu gbe ɖe dzomavɔʋe la me. [ (Geenna g1067)
Afi si, “‘woƒe nye mekuna le o, eye dzo la hã metsina le o.]’
47 And if your eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out: it is better for you to go into the kingdom of God with one eye than, having two eyes, to go into hell, (Geenna g1067)
Nenye be wò ŋkue nana be nèwɔa nu vɔ̃ la, hoe le etome. Enyo na wò be nàyi mawufiaɖuƒe la me kple ŋku ɖeka wu be nàyi dzomavɔʋe la me kple ŋku eve, (Geenna g1067)
48 Where their worm is ever living and the fire is not put out.
afi si, “‘woƒe nyẽ mekuna le o, eye dzo la hã metsina le o.’
49 Everyone will be salted with fire.
Eye woatsɔ dzo bibi ade dze ame sia ame wòatee.”
50 Salt is good; but if the taste goes from it, how will you make it salt again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another.
Yesu wu eƒe nuƒo la nu be, “Dze nye nu vevi aɖe, gake nenye be dze bu eƒe vivi la, womagate ŋu atsɔe ade naneke o; meganyo na naneke o, migabu vivi si le mia me la o! Minɔ anyi kple amewo katã le ŋutifafa me.”
