Luke 6
1 And it came to pass on [the] second-first sabbath, that he went through cornfields, and his disciples were plucking the ears and eating [them], rubbing [them] in their hands.
Gbe ɖeka le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkekea dzi esi Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo zɔ to bligble aɖewo me va yina la, nusrɔ̃lawo ŋe bli aɖewo, klẽ tsro le wo ŋu henɔ ɖuɖum.
2 But some of the Pharisees said to them, Why do ye what is not lawful to do on the sabbath?
Farisitɔ aɖewo nɔ afi ma kpɔ wo, eye wogblɔ na Yesu be, “Nu ka ta miewɔ nu si mele se nu be woawɔ le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke dzi o mahã?”
3 And Jesus answering said to them, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did when he hungered, he and those who were with him,
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Alo miexlẽ nu tso nu si David wɔ esi dɔ wu eya kple eŋutimewo ŋu oa?
4 how he entered into the house of God and took the shewbread and ate, and gave to those also who were with him, which it is not lawful that [any] eat, unless the priests alone?
Eyi ɖe Mawu ƒe aƒe la me, eye wòtsɔ abolo tɔxɛ si wotsɔ ɖo Mawu ŋkume la, eye wòɖui, togbɔ be mele se nu be ame aɖeke naɖu abolo sia o negbe nunɔlawo ko.”
5 And he said to them, The Son of man is Lord of the sabbath also.
Yesu gblɔ kpe ɖe eŋu be, “Nye Amegbetɔ Vi lae nye Aƒetɔ na Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la gɔ̃ hã.”
6 And it came to pass on another sabbath also that he entered into the synagogue and taught; and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.
Le Dzudzɔgbe bubu gbe esi wònɔ nu fiam le ƒuƒoƒe la, ekpɔ ame aɖe si tsitsi lé asi na la le afi ma.
7 And the scribes and the Pharisees were watching if he would heal on the sabbath, that they might find something of which to accuse him.
Esi wònye Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke dzie ta la, agbalẽfialawo kple Farisitɔwo ɖe ŋku ɖe edzi gãa henɔ ekpɔm be ada gbe le amea ŋu le ŋkekea dzi hã. Wonɔ ŋku lém ɖe eŋu elabena wodi be wòawɔ vodada aɖe be yewoatsɔ nya ɖe eŋu.
8 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Get up, and stand in the midst. And having risen up he stood [there].
Yesu nya nu si bum ame siawo nɔ xoxoxo, gake egblɔ na ŋutsua be, “Tso va nɔ tsitre ɖe afii be ame sia ame nakpɔ wò.” Ŋutsu la tso ɖe tsitrenu abe ale si wògblɔ nɛ ene.
9 Jesus therefore said to them, I will ask you if it is lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy [it]?
Azɔ Yesu trɔ ɖe Farisitɔwo kple agbalẽfialawo gbɔ, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Biabia aɖe le asinye na mi. Ɖe woɖe mɔ be woawɔ nyui le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkekea dzi loo alo woawɔ vɔ̃a? Enyo be woaxɔ ame ɖe agbe loo alo woawuia?”
10 And having looked around on them all, he said to him, Stretch out thy hand. And he did [so] and his hand was restored as the other.
Etsa ŋku le wo katã dzi ɖekaɖeka, eye wògblɔ na ŋutsua be, “Dzɔ wò asi.” Edzɔ asia kasia eƒe asi gaɖɔ ɖo.
11 But they were filled with madness, and they spoke together among themselves what they should do to Jesus.
Nuwɔna sia do dziku na Yesu ƒe futɔwo ŋutɔ. Wode asi ɖoɖowɔwɔ me le nu si woate ŋu awɔ Yesu la ŋuti.
12 And it came to pass in those days that he went out into the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God.
Le nu siawo megbe la, Yesu yi to aɖe dzi gbe ɖeka be yeado gbe ɖa. Edo gbe ɖa na Mawu zã blibo katã.
13 And when it was day he called his disciples, and having chosen out twelve from them, whom also he named apostles:
Esi ŋu ke la, eyɔ eyomenɔlawo katã ƒo ƒui, eye wòtia ame wuieve le wo dome bena woanye yeƒe nusrɔ̃lawo. Ame siawoe woyɔ be apostolowo.
14 Simon, to whom also he gave the name of Peter, and Andrew his brother, [and] James and John, [and] Philip and Bartholomew,
Ameawo ƒe ŋkɔwoe nye, Simɔn (ame si wòna ŋkɔe be Petro), Andrea si nye Simɔn nɔviŋutsu, Yakobo, Yohanes, Filipo, Bartolomeo,
15 [and] Matthew and Thomas, James the [son] of Alphaeus and Simon who was called Zealot,
Mateo, Toma, Yakobo si nye Alfeo vi, Simɔn ame si nye Zelote dunyaheha sesẽ aɖe me nɔla;
16 [and] Judas [brother] of James, and Judas Iscariote, who was also [his] betrayer;
Yuda si nye Yakobo vi, kple Yuda Iskariɔt ame si va zu yomemɔfiala.
17 and having descended with them, he stood on a level place, and a crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judaea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
Esi wòɖi tso toa dzi la, nusrɔ̃lawo kple eyomenɔlawo va ƒo ƒu ɖe Yesu ŋuti le gbadzaƒe aɖe. Ameha gã aɖe hã va ɖe to ɖe wo, amewo tso Yudea nutowo me katã kple Yerusalem. Ɖewo tso keke Sidon kple Tiro ƒutaduwo me ke
18 and those that were beset by unclean spirits were healed.
va be yewoaɖo toe alo be wòada gbe le yewo ŋu. Gbe ma gbe la, enya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ geɖewo le amewo me.
19 And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power went out from him and healed all.
Ame geɖewo ŋutɔ nɔ didim be yewoaka asi eŋu, elabena ŋusẽ do go tso eme, eye wòda gbe le wo katã ŋu.
20 And he, lifting up his eyes upon his disciples, said, Blessed [are] ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
Azɔ etrɔ ɖe eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo gbɔ hegblɔ na wo be, “Dzidzɔ gã ŋutɔ le mi ame siwo nye ame dahewo la lalalm, elabena miawo tɔe nye mawufiaɖuƒe la.
21 Blessed ye that hunger now, for ye shall be filled. Blessed ye that weep now, for ye shall laugh.
Dzidzɔ gã ŋutɔ le mi ame siwo wum dɔ le la lalam, elabena miawoe aɖi ƒo. Dzidzɔ gã ŋutɔ le mi ame siwo le avi fam fifia la lalam, elabena ɣeyiɣi gbɔna esi miava ko nu.
22 Blessed are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you [from them], and shall reproach [you], and cast out your name as wicked, for the Son of man's sake:
Dzidzɔ gã ŋutɔ le mia lalam, ne amewo lé fu mi, ɖe mi le woƒe ha me, eye wodzu mi, heƒo ɖi miaƒe ŋkɔ ɖe Amegbetɔ Vi la ta!
23 rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in the heaven, for after this manner did their fathers act toward the prophets.
“Dzi nedzɔ mi, eye mitso aseye, elabena fetu nyui le mia lalam le dziƒo. Alea tututue wo fofowo wɔ ɖe nyagblɔɖila siwo do ŋgɔ na mi la hã ŋuti.
24 But woe to you rich, for ye have received your consolation.
“Ao, baba na mi kesinɔtɔwo, elabena wokpɔ dzidzɔ le anyigba sia dzi xoxo.
25 Woe to you that are filled, for ye shall hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for ye shall mourn and weep.
Babaa na mi ame siwo ƒe ƒodo yɔ, elabena dɔwuame sesẽ aɖe le ŋgɔ na wo gbɔna.
26 Woe, when all men speak well of you, for after this manner did their fathers to the false prophets.
Woƒe nukoko ɖe yame fifia ava zu konyifafa na wo. Babaa na mi ame siwo ŋu amewo aƒo nu nyui le, elabena nenema kee wo fofowo wɔ na aʋatsonyagblɔɖilawo.
27 But to you that hear I say, Love your enemies; do good to those that hate you;
“Ke mi ame siwo le to ɖom la, mele egblɔm na mi be: Milɔ̃ miaƒe futɔwo, eye miawɔ nyui na ame siwo lé fu mi la.
28 bless those that curse you; pray for those who use you despitefully.
Miyra ame siwo ƒo fi de mi la, eye mido gbe ɖa ɖe ame siwo wɔa fu mi la ta.
29 To him that smites thee on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him that would take away thy garment, forbid not thy body-coat also.
“Nenye be ame aɖe ƒo wò tome ɖeka la, trɔ evelia hã nɛ wòaƒo! Nenye be ame aɖe tsɔ wò dziwui la, mègagbe wò awutewuitsɔtsɔ nɛ o.
30 To every one that asks of thee, give; and from him that takes away what is thine, ask it not back.
Ne nu le asiwò, eye ame aɖe bia wò la, nae eye mègabia be netrɔe vɛ na ye o.
31 And as ye wish that men should do to you, do ye also to them in like manner.
Ale si tututu nèdina be amewo newɔ na ye la, wò hã wɔ na wo nenema.
32 And if ye love those that love you, what thank is it to you? for even sinners love those that love them.
“Ne mielɔ̃ mia lɔ̃lawo ɖeɖe ko ɖe, miebui be miewɔ nanea? Ame siwo nye nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo hã lɔ̃a wo xɔlɔ̃wo.
33 And if ye do good to those that do good to you, what thank is it to you? for even sinners do the same.
Ne miewɔa dɔmenyo na ame siwo wɔa dɔmenyo na mi ko ɖe, akpedada kae li na mi? Nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo gɔ̃ hã wɔna nenema!
34 And if ye lend to those from whom ye hope to receive, what thank is it to you? [for] even sinners lend to sinners that they may receive the like.
Ne miedoa ga na ame siwo miele mɔ kpɔm na be woagaxee na mi emegbe ɖe, nu nyui kae wònye miewɔ? Nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔla akuakuawo hã doa nu na wo tɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔlawo be yewoaxɔ nenema ke emegbe.
35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return, and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be sons of [the] Highest; for he is good to the unthankful and wicked.
“Milɔ̃ miaƒe ketɔwo, eye miwɔ dɔmenyo na wo. Mido nu na wo, eye migakpɔ mɔ na exɔxɔ o. Ne miewɔ esia la, ekema miaƒe fetu asɔ gbɔ le dziƒo, eye mianye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe viwo elabena eya ŋutɔ nyoa dɔme na akpemadalawo kple tagbɔ sesẽ tɔwo hã.
36 Be ye therefore merciful, even as your Father also is merciful.
“Mizu nublanuikpɔlawo abe ale si mia Fofo hã nye nublanuikpɔla ene.
37 And judge not, and ye shall not be judged; condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned. Remit, and it shall be remitted to you.
“Migadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ame aɖeke, eye Mawu hã nadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu mi o. Migabu fɔ ame aɖeke, eye Mawu hã nabu fɔ mi o. Mitsɔ amewo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ke wo, eye Mawu hã natsɔ miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ake mi.
38 Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall be given into your bosom: for with the same measure with which ye mete it shall be measured to you again.
Mina nu, eye woana nu miawo hã. Nu siwo katã miena la, woatrɔ wo vɛ na mi woasɔ gbɔ agbã go sãa wu esi sinu miena, eye woatsɔe aɖo akɔ na mi. Dzidzenu si mietsɔ dzidze nui na amewo la, eya kee woatsɔ dzidze nui na miawo hã.”
39 And he spoke also a parable to them: Can a blind [man] lead a blind [man]? shall not both fall into [the] ditch?
Yesu yi edzi do lo sia na wo be, “Ɖe ŋkugbãtɔ ate ŋu akplɔ ŋkuagbãtɔa? Ɖe wo kple eve la mage adze do me oa?
40 The disciple is not above his teacher, but every one that is perfected shall be as his teacher.
Nusrɔ̃la mewua eƒe nufiala o. Ke ame sia ame si xɔ hehe nyuitɔ la anɔ ko abe eƒe nufiala ene.
41 But why lookest thou on the mote which is in the eye of thy brother, but perceivest not the beam which is in thine own eye?
“Nu ka ta nèkpɔa ati fefi si le nɔviwò ƒe ŋku dzi, gake mèkpɔa atikpo si le wò ŋutɔ wò ŋku dzi o mahã?
42 or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, allow [me], I will cast out the mote that is in thine eye, thyself not seeing the beam that is in thine eye? Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine eye, and then thou shalt see clear to cast out the mote which is in the eye of thy brother.
Aleke wɔ nàgblɔ na nɔviwò be, ‘Nɔvi, na maɖe ati fefi si le wò ŋku dzi la ɖa na wò,’ esi màte ŋu akpɔ gãa si le wò ŋutɔ wò ŋkuwo dzi aɖe o? Alakpanuwɔla, ɖe atikpo si le wò ŋku dzi la ɖa gbã ekema àte ŋu akpɔ nu nyuie, ale be nàte ŋu aɖe nɔviwò ƒe ati fefi la ɖa nɛ.
43 For there is no good tree which produces corrupt fruit, nor a corrupt tree which produces good fruit;
“Ati nyui aɖeke mate ŋu atse ku manyomanyo o, eye ati manyomanyo mate ŋu atse ku nyui o.
44 for every tree is known by its own fruit, for figs are not gathered from thorns, nor grapes vintaged from a bramble.
Ku si ati aɖe tsena lae wotsɔna dzea si ati si ƒomevi wònye lae; elabena womegbea gbowo le ŋutiwo dzi o, alo wotsoa wainkpo le ŋuve me.
45 The good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, brings forth good; and the wicked [man] out of the wicked, brings forth what is wicked: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
Ame nyui ƒe nuƒo fiana be nu nyui wɔwɔ yɔ eƒe dzi me. Ke ame vɔ̃ɖi ya ƒe dzi me yɔna fũu kple nu vɔ̃, eye eƒe nuƒo ɖea vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi sia fiana.
46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things that I say?
“Nu ka tae mieyɔam be ‘Aƒetɔ, Aƒetɔ’, evɔ miewɔa nye gbe dzi o?
47 Every one that comes to me, and hears my words and does them, I will shew you to whom he is like.
Ame sia ame si vaa gbɔnye, eye wòsea nye nya, eye wòwɔa edzi la, mafia ame si wòɖi mi.
48 He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock; but a great rain coming, the stream broke upon that house, and could not shake it, for it had been founded on the rock.
Eɖi ame aɖe si tu xɔ, eɖe do goglo, eye wòɖo gɔmeɖokpe nyuie ɖe kpe gbadza dzi, ke esi tɔ ɖɔ, eye tsi ɖe xɔa la, mete ŋu mui o, elabena wotui nyuie.
49 And he that has heard and not done, is like a man who has built a house on the ground without [a] foundation, on which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the breach of that house was great.
Ke ame si sea nye nya, eye mewɔna ɖe edzi o la le abe ame aɖe si tu eƒe xɔ ɖe anyigba, eye meɖo gɔmeɖokpe nɛ o la ene. Esi tsi dza ɖɔ ɖe eŋu la, xɔ sia mu gbloo, hegbã gudugudu.”
