< Mark 6 >

1 And departing from there, he went away to his own country; and his disciples followed him.
Le esia megbe la, Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dzo le nuto ma me yi Nazaret si nye ededu me.
2 And when the Sabbath arrived, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many, upon hearing him, were amazed at his doctrine, saying: “Where did this one get all these things?” and, “What is this wisdom, which has been given to him?” and, “Such powerful deeds, which are wrought by his hands!”
Le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke dzi la, eyi ƒuƒoƒe la ɖafia nu, eye ame geɖe siwo se eƒe nufiafia la ƒe nu ku. Wobia be, “Afi ka ame sia xɔ nu siawo tsoe? Nunya ka tɔgbi wonae be wòte ŋu le nukunu siawo wɔm!
3 “Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joseph, and Jude, and Simon? Are not his sisters also here with us?” And they took great offense at him.
Alo menye ame siae nye atikpala la oa? Menye Maria ƒe viŋutsu si nɔviwoe nye Yakobo, Yosef, Yuda kple Simɔn, siwo le mía dome, eye nɔvia nyɔnuwo hã le mía dome oa?” Esia na eƒe nu ve dɔme na wo ŋutɔ.
4 And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house, and among his own kindred.”
Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Bubu menɔa nyagblɔɖila aɖeke ŋu le eya ŋutɔ ƒe dedu me, amewo dome kple eya ŋutɔ ƒe aƒe me o.”
5 And he was not able to perform any miracles there, except that he cured a few of the infirm by laying his hands on them.
Le ameawo ƒe dzimaxɔse ta la, mete ŋu wɔ nukunu gãwo le wo dome o, asi ko wòda ɖe dɔléla ʋɛ aɖewo dzi heyɔ dɔ wo.
6 And he wondered, because of their unbelief, and he traveled around in the villages, teaching.
Ewɔ nuku na Yesu ŋutɔ be wo detɔwo mexɔ edzi se o, ale wòdzo ɖatsa le kɔƒewo me nɔ nu fiam amewo.
7 And he called the twelve. And he began to send them out in twos, and he gave them authority over unclean spirits.
Yesu yɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo, eye wòdɔ wo eveve hena ŋusẽ wo be woanya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo do goe le amewo me.
8 And he instructed them not to take anything for the journey, except a staff: no traveling bag, no bread, and no money belt,
Egblɔ na wo be, “Migatsɔ naneke ɖe asi hena mɔzɔzɔ o, negbe atizɔti ko. Migatsɔ nuɖuɖu, mɔzɔkotoku alo ga hã ɖe asi o.
9 but to wear sandals, and not to wear two tunics.
Migatsɔ afɔkpa eve alo awu eve teti hã o.
10 And he said to them: “Whenever you have entered into a house, stay there until you depart from that place.
Midze aƒe ɖeka ko me le kɔƒe ɖe sia ɖe me; miganɔ tsatsam tso aƒe me yi aƒe me o.
11 And whoever will neither receive you, nor listen to you, as you go away from there, shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
Nenye be kɔƒe aɖe me tɔwo mexɔ mi alo ɖo to mi o la, miʋuʋu ke si lé ɖe afɔƒome na mi la ɖi, eye miadzo. Esia nye ɖase be miegblẽ teƒe la ɖi be nu sia nu si adzɔ ɖe edzi la nadzɔ faa.”
12 And going out, they were preaching, so that people would repent.
Nusrɔ̃lawo dze mɔ henɔ nu xlɔ̃m ame sia ame si wodo goe le mɔa dzi la be wòatrɔ dzime.
13 And they cast out many demons, and they anointed many of the sick with oil and healed them.
Wonya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo le amewo me, eye wosi ami na dɔnɔwo heda gbe le wo ŋu.
14 And king Herod heard of it, (for his name had become well-known) and he said: “John the Baptist has risen again from the dead, and because of this, miracles are at work in him.”
Fia Herod se Yesu ŋkɔ, elabena ame sia ame nɔ nu ƒom tso nukunu siwo katã wɔm wònɔ la ŋu. Fia la bu be Yohanes Mawutsidetanamelae gagbɔ agbe, elabena amewo le gbɔgblɔm be, “Yohanes Mawutsidetanamelae fɔ, eya ta wòte ŋu le nukunu siawo wɔm ɖo.”
15 But others were saying, “Because it is Elijah.” Still others were saying, “Because he is a prophet, like one of the prophets.”
Ame aɖewo hã bu be Yesue nye Eliya, Mawu ƒe Nyagblɔɖila xoxoawo dometɔ ɖeka, si gava dzɔ, eye ɖewo hã bu be Yesue nye Mawu ƒe Gbeƒãɖela yeye si si ŋusẽ le abe esiwo nɔ anyi va yi la ene.
16 When Herod had heard it, he said, “John whom I beheaded, the same has risen again from the dead.”
Ke Herod ya gblɔ kple kakaɖedzi be, “Yohanes, ame si nu metso ta le la kokokoe fɔ tso yɔ me.”
17 For Herod himself had sent to capture John, and had chained him in prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip; for he had married her.
Herod sia nye ame si dɔ asrafowo be woalé Yohanes de gaxɔ me. Ewɔ esia le Herod, nɔvia Filipo srɔ̃ si wòxɔ la ta,
18 For John was saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
elabena Yohanes gblɔ na Herod be, “Se meɖe mɔ be nàxɔ nɔviwò srɔ̃ aɖe o.”
19 Now Herodias was devising treachery against him; and she wanted to kill him, but she was unable.
Le esia ta Herod di vevie be woawu Yohanes, gake fia la meda asi ɖe ɖoɖo sia dzi o,
20 For Herod was apprehensive of John, knowing him to be a just and holy man, and so he guarded him. And he heard that he was accomplishing many things, and so he listened to him willingly.
elabena Herod tsɔ bubu geɖe na Yohanes le eƒe ame ɖɔʋu kple ame kɔkɔenyenye ta, eya ta etsɔe de eya ŋutɔ ƒe dzikpɔkpɔ te. Nenye be Herod kple Yohanes wole dze ɖom la, nya siwo Yohanes gblɔna la ɖea fu na Herod ƒe susu ŋutɔ, gake zi geɖe la, edina kokoko be yeaɖo dze kplii.
21 And when an opportune time had arrived, Herod held a feast on his birthday, with the leaders, and the tribunes, and the first rulers of Galilee.
Mlɔeba la, Herod va kpɔ mɔnu aɖe si dzi wòato awu Yohanes. Herod ƒe dzigbezã ɖo, eye wòɖo kplɔ̃ na eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo, ame siwo nye asrafowo ƒe amegãwo kple ame ŋkuta, siwo tso Galilea la le fiasã la me.
22 And when the daughter of the same Herodias had entered, and danced, and pleased Herod, along with those who were at table with him, the king said to the girl, “Request from me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”
Eva dzɔ be Herod ƒe vinyɔnu va ɖu ɣe na ame kpekpeawo. Eƒe ɣeɖuɖu do dzidzɔ na ame sia ame ŋutɔ. Le esia ta fia la gblɔ na nyɔnuvi la be, “Bia nu sia nu si nèdi tso asinye la, mana wò.”
23 And he swore to her, “Anything that you request, I will give to you, even up to half my kingdom.”
Eka atam nɛ be, “Nu sia nu si nàbia la, matsɔe na wò; nenye nye fiaɖuƒe la ƒe afã nèbia hã la, mana wò.”
24 And when she had gone out, she said to her mother, “What shall I request?” But her mother said, “The head of John the Baptist.”
Nyɔnuvi la yi dadaa gbɔ ɖagblɔ nya la nɛ. Dadaa gblɔ nɛ be, “Yi nàbia Yohanes Mawutsidetanamela ƒe ta.”
25 And immediately, when she had entered with haste to the king, she petitioned him, saying: “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”
Nyɔnuvi la gaɖe abla va fia la gbɔ va gblɔ nɛ be, “Mele Yohanes Mawutsidetanamela ƒe ta dim fifi laa, nenɔ agba me woatsɔ vɛ nam.”
26 And the king was greatly saddened. But because of his oath, and because of those who were sitting with him at table, he was not willing to disappoint her.
Nya sia ve fia la ŋutɔ, gake anye ŋukpe be wòada le atam si wòka la dzi le eƒe ame kpekpeawo ŋkume,
27 So, having sent an executioner, he instructed that his head be brought on a platter.
eya ta eɖo asrafo si le eŋu dzɔm la ɖa be wòayi aɖatso ta le Yohanes nu atsɔ vɛ na ye. Asrafo la yi ɖatso ta le Yohanes nu le gaxɔ la me
28 And he beheaded him in prison, and he brought his head on a platter. And he gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it her mother.
hetsɔ de agba me vɛ na nyɔnuvi la, eye wòtsɔe yi na dadaa.
29 When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his body, and they placed it in a tomb.
Esi Yohanes ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo se nu si dzɔ la, woyi ɖaxɔ eƒe kukua ɖaɖi.
30 And the Apostles, returning to Jesus, reported to him everything that they had done and taught.
Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo trɔ tso woƒe mɔzɔzɔ la gbɔ, eye wogblɔ nu siwo katã wowɔ, nya siwo katã wogblɔ kple teƒe siwo katã wode la nɛ.
31 And he said to them, “Go out alone, into a deserted place, and rest for a little while.” For there were so many who were coming and going, that they did not even have time to eat.
Yesu se nya siawo keŋ, eye wòɖo aɖaŋu na wo be, “Mina míadzo le amehawo dome vie aɖadi teƒe aɖe anɔ adzudzɔ sẽe.” Elabena ame geɖewo ŋutɔ nɔ wo gbɔ vam henɔ dzodzom, ale be ɣeyiɣi meli woaɖu nu o.
32 And climbing into a boat, they went away to a deserted place alone.
Ale wodzo le teƒe sia kple ʋu heyi teƒe aɖe si zi ɖoɖoe wu,
33 And they saw them going away, and many knew about it. And together they ran by foot from all the cities, and they arrived before them.
gake ame geɖewo gakpɔ wo xoxo, wonya afi si yim wonɔ, eya ta woƒu du dze ŋgɔ na wo, zɔ ƒua nu yi ɖakpe wo esi woɖi le ʋu la me teti ko.
34 And Jesus, going out, saw a great multitude. And he took pity on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.
Abe ale si wònɔna ɖaa ene la, ameha gã aɖe gava kpe Yesu le afi sia. Ameawo ƒe nu wɔ nublanui nɛ ŋutɔ, elabena wole abe alẽha si kplɔla meli na o la ene. Efia nu geɖe siwo wòle be woanya la wo.
35 And when many hours had now passed, his disciples drew near to him, saying: “This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late.
Le ɣetrɔ me la, eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va gblɔ nɛ be, “Teƒe sia tso abo, evɔ zã hã le dodom,
36 Send them away, so that by going out to nearby villages and towns, they might buy provisions for themselves to eat.”
eya ta gblɔ na ameawo be woayi kɔƒe kple agble siwo te ɖe afi sia ŋu la me aɖadi nuɖuɖu na wo ɖokuiwo.”
37 And responding, he said to them, “Give them something to eat yourselves.” And they said to him, “Let us go out and buy bread for two hundred denarii, and then we will give them something to eat.”
Gake Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Miawo mina nuɖuɖu wo.” Nusrɔ̃lawo biae be, “Nu ka míana wo? Hafi woate ŋu ana nuɖuɖu ameha sia la, ehiã ga home gã aɖe.”
38 And he said to them: “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
Yesu bia wo be, “Nuɖuɖu agbɔsɔsɔ ka sinue le mia si? Miyi miakpɔe ɖa.” Woyi gbɔ va gblɔ nɛ be, “Abolo atɔ̃ kple tɔmelã meme eve koe li.”
39 And he instructed them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.
Yesu gblɔ na wo be woana ameawo nanɔ anyi ɖe ƒuƒoƒowo me le gbe dama la dzi.
40 And they sat down in divisions by hundreds and by fifties.
Ale ameawo nɔ anyi ɖe hatsotso alafawo kple blaatɔ̃wo me.
41 And having received the five loaves and the two fish, gazing up to heaven, he blessed and broke the bread, and he gave it to his disciples to set before them. And the two fish he divided among them all.
Azɔ Yesu tsɔ abolo atɔ̃ la kple tɔmelã meme eve la, eye wòwu mo dzi, heda akpe ɖe wo ta. Eŋe aboloawo me, eye wòtsɔ wo kple tɔmelãwo na nusrɔ̃la ɖe sia ɖe be wòaɖo ameawo ƒe akɔme.
42 And they all ate and were satisfied.
Ameawo ɖu nu la ale gbegbe be woɖi ƒo wu ale si hiã,
43 And they brought together the remainder: twelve baskets full of fragments and of fish.
eye esi nusrɔ̃lawo ƒo ƒu abolo kple tɔmelã kakɛ siwo susɔ la, woyɔ kusi wuieve.
44 Now those who ate were five thousand men.
Ke ŋutsu siwo ɖu nua la ƒe xexlẽme anɔ akpe atɔ̃.
45 And without delay he urged his disciples to climb into the boat, so that they might precede him across the sea to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the people.
Le nuɖuɖu la nana ameawo vɔ megbe teti ko la, Yesu gblɔ na eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be woage ɖe ʋu la me, akui atso ƒu la ayi Betsaida afi si yeava tu wo le emegbe. Ebe ye ŋutɔ yeado megbe ado mɔ ameha la woayi aƒe me.
46 And when he had dismissed them, he went to the mountain to pray.
Le esia megbe la, Yesu yi togbɛ aɖe dzi be yeado gbe ɖa.
47 And when it was late, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he was alone on the land.
Le zã me esi tɔdziʋua ɖo ƒu la ƒe titina la, eya ɖeka susɔ ɖe gota.
48 And seeing them struggling to row, (for the wind was against them, ) and about the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking upon the sea. And he intended to pass by them.
Yesu ɖeka nɔ godzi kpɔ wo ɖa. Ekpɔ be ya sesẽ si nɔ ƒoƒom la nɔ fu ɖem na wo ale gbegbe be ʋua kuku sesẽ na wo ŋutɔ. Anɔ abe fɔŋli ga etɔ̃ me ene la, Yesu zɔ ƒu la dzi ɖo ta wo gbɔ. Ewɔ abe ɖe wòbe yeazɔ to wo ŋu ene,
49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they thought it was an apparition, and they cried out.
gake wo katã wokpɔe wònɔ zɔzɔm le ƒu la dzi, eya ta wodo vɔvɔ̃ɣli, elabena wobu be ŋɔlie.
50 For they all saw him, and they were very disturbed. And immediately he spoke with them, and he said to them: “Be strengthened in faith. It is I. Do not be afraid.”
Gake eƒo nu gblɔ na wo enumake be, “Miaƒe dzi nedze eme. Nyee, migavɔ̃ o.”
51 And he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they became even more astonished within themselves.
Azɔ ege ɖe ʋu la me, eye yaƒoƒo la tɔ. Nusrɔ̃lawo katã ƒe nu ku ŋutɔ,
52 For they did not understand about the bread. For their heart had been blinded.
elabena va se ɖe fifia la, womese Yesu ƒe wɔnawo gɔme o. Gawu la, womese nukunu gã si wòwɔ le ɣetrɔ ma hã gɔme o, elabena woƒe dzi me sẽ.
53 And when they had crossed over, they arrived in the land of Genesaret, and they reached the shore.
Wotso ƒu la va ɖi go ɖe Genesaretnyigba dzi, eye wotɔ ʋu la.
54 And when they had disembarked from the boat, the people immediately recognized him.
Ke esi wodo go le eme la, ame siwo nɔ afi ma la kpɔ Yesu dze sii enumake,
55 And running throughout that entire region, they began to carry on beds those who had maladies, to where they heard that he would be.
eya ta woƒu du ɖagblɔe na ame siwo katã le nuto la me be Yesu va ɖo. Ale amewo kɔ dɔnɔwo ɖe abawo dzi va egbɔ.
56 And in whichever place he entered, in towns or villages or cities, they placed the infirm in the main streets, and they pleaded with him that they might touch even the hem of his garment. And as many as touched him were made healthy.
Afi sia afi si Yesu yi le kɔƒewo, duwo kple agbletawo la, wokɔa dɔnɔwo vaa asiwo kple mɔwo toe, eye woɖea kuku nɛ be woaka asi eƒe awu pɛ ko ŋu. Le nyateƒe me la, ame siwo katã ka asi eŋu ko la ƒe lãme sẽna.
