< Mark 10 >
1 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judæa by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.
Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dzo le Kapernaum, eye woyi anyigbeme lɔƒo le Yudea nutowo me kple nuto si le Yɔdan ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo la me. Abe ale si wònɔna ɖaa ene la, amehawo va ƒo zi ɖe Yesu ŋu, eye wòfia nu wo abe ale si wòwɔnɛ ene.
2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away [his] wife? tempting him.
Farisitɔ aɖewo va egbɔ le afi sia be yewoadoe kpɔ ne yewoalée le nya aɖe me. Wobiae be, “Woɖe mɔ na ŋutsu be wòagbe srɔ̃a?”
3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
Yesu trɔ bia wo be, “Aleke Mose gblɔ tso srɔ̃gbegbe ŋuti?”
4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
Ameawo ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Mose ɖe mɔ be srɔ̃ŋutsu naŋlɔ agbalẽ na srɔ̃nyɔnu be yegbee.”
5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Miaƒe dzimesesẽ tae Mose de se sia na mi ɖo.
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
Ke tso nuwɔwɔ ƒe gɔmedzedze me ke la, Mawu wɔ ŋutsu kple nyɔnu.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
Le esia ta ŋutsu agble fofoa kple dadaa ɖi, eye wòalé ɖe srɔ̃nyɔnu la ŋuti
8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
eye wo kple eve la woazu ŋutilã ɖeka. Eya ta womeganye ame eve o, ke boŋ wozu ɖeka.
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Esia ta nu si ke Mawu bla la, ame aɖeke megama eme o.”
10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same [matter].
Le esia megbe la, esi Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo ɖeɖe wonɔ aƒe me la, nusrɔ̃lawo gado srɔ̃gbenya la ɖa.
11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Nenye be ŋutsu aɖe gbe srɔ̃a be yeaɖe bubu la, ewɔ ahasi ɖe nyɔnu la ŋu.
12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
Nenema ke ne nyɔnu aɖe hã gbe srɔ̃a, eye wòɖaɖe ŋutsu bubu la, eya hã wɔ ahasi.”
13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and [his] disciples rebuked those that brought [them].
Gbe ɖeka la, ame aɖewo kplɔ wo viwo va Yesu gbɔ be wòayra wo. Ke nusrɔ̃lawo nya wo be womegaɖe fu na Aƒetɔ la o.
14 But when Jesus saw [it], he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Yesu kpɔ nu si nusrɔ̃lawo wɔ la, medzɔ dzi nɛ kura o. Egblɔ na nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Mina ɖeviwo nava gbɔnye, eye migaxe mɔ na wo o, elabena ame siawo ƒomevi tɔe nye mawufiaɖuƒe la!
15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
Le nyateƒe me, mele gblɔm na mi be ame si maxɔ mawufiaɖuƒe la abe ɖevi sue ene o la mage ɖe eme gbeɖe o.”
16 And he took them up in his arms, put [his] hands upon them, and blessed them.
Azɔ exɔ ɖeviawo ɖe eƒe abɔwo dome, eye wòda asi ɖe wo dzi heyra wo.
17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios )
Esi Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dzra ɖo vɔ be yewoayi teƒe aɖe la, ɖekakpui aɖe ƒu du va dze klo ɖe eƒe akɔme, eye wòbiae be, “Nufiala nyui, nu ka tututu wòle be mawɔ hafi ate ŋu anyi agbe mavɔ dome?” (aiōnios )
18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God.
Yesu biae be, “Nu ka ta nèyɔm be ame nyui ɖo? Ame aɖeke menyo o, negbe Mawu ɖeka ko.
19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
Azɔ le wò biabia la ŋuti la, ènya seawo xoxo. Woawoe nye: mègawu ame o, mègawɔ ahasi o, mègafi fi o, mègada alakpa o, mègaba ame o, bu fofowò kple dawò.”
20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
Ɖekakpui la gblɔ na Yesu be, “Nufiala, mewɔ se siawo katã dzi tso nye ɖevime ke.”
21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Yesu kpɔe dũ eye wòlɔ̃e, gblɔ nɛ be, “Nu vevi ɖeka susɔ si mèwɔ o. Yi nàdzra wò nuwo katã, eye nàtsɔ ga la ana ame dahewo bena kesinɔnuwo nanɔ asiwò le dziƒo. Le esia megbe la, va, nàdze yonyeme.”
22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
Ɖekakpui la yrɔ esi wòse nya siawo; eƒe mo trɔ zi ɖeka eye wòdzo nublanuitɔe, elabena enye kesinɔtɔ gã aɖe.
23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
Esi wòdzo yina la, Yesu kpɔ eyome dũu eye wòtrɔ ɖe eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo ŋu gblɔ na wo be, “Asesẽ na kesinɔtɔwo ŋutɔ hafi woage ɖe mawufiaɖuƒe la me!”
24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
Nya siawo wɔ nuku na nusrɔ̃lawo ŋutɔ. Yesu gagblɔ be, “Vinyewo, asesẽ na ame siwo ɖoa ŋu ɖe woƒe kesinɔnuwo ŋu be woayi ɖe mawufiaɖuƒe la me!
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Le nyateƒe me la, anɔ bɔbɔe na kposɔ be wòato tɔnui ƒe do me ado go tsɔ wu be kesinɔtɔ nage ɖe mawufiaɖuƒe la me.”
26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
Nya siawo gawɔ nuku na nusrɔ̃lawo ŋutɔ. Ale wobiae be, “Ame kae akpɔ ɖeɖe?”
27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men [it is] impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
Yesu kpɔ wo dũu, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Esia sesẽ na amegbetɔwo, gake ele bɔbɔe na Mawu ya, elabena naneke mesesẽ na Mawu o.”
28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
Petro gblɔ na Yesu be, “Míegblẽ nu sia nu ɖi hedze yowòme.”
29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s,
Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Nyateƒe gblɔm mele na mi be ame siwo katã gblẽ woƒe aƒewo, nɔviŋutsuwo kple nɔvinyɔnuwo, fofowo kple dadawo, viwo kple anyigbawo katã ɖi le lɔlɔ̃ si wotsɔ nam ta, eye be yewoakaka mawunya ta la,
30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. (aiōn , aiōnios )
woakpɔ woƒe aƒewo, nɔviŋutsuwo, nɔvinyɔnuwo, fofowo kple dadawo, viwo kple anyigbawo katã ɖe eteƒe zi geɖe kple yometiti le agbe sia me. Gake le agbe si gbɔna me la, woakpɔ agbe mavɔ. (aiōn , aiōnios )
31 But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last first.
Ke ame siwo nye gbãtɔwo la, woazu mamlɛtɔwo eye ame siwo nye mamlɛtɔwo la woazu gbãtɔwo.”
32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,
Esi wodze mɔ yina Yerusalem la, Yesu do ŋgɔ na eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo. Nusrɔ̃lawo ƒe mo wɔ yaa, eye vɔvɔ̃ ɖo ame siwo hã nɔ eyome. Yesu yɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo ɖe kpɔe, eye wògagblɔ nu siwo katã ava dzɔ ɖe edzi ne woɖo Yerusalem la na wo:
33 [Saying], Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
Egblɔ na wo be, “Ne míeɖo afi ma la, woalé Amegbetɔ Vi la akplɔ ayi na nunɔlagãwo kple agbalẽfialawo. Ame siawo atso kufia nɛ, akplɔe ade asi na ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o la be woawu.
34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
Woaɖu fewu le eŋu vevie, aɖe ta ɖe eŋu vlodotɔe, aƒoe kple atam eye woawui, gake le ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, atsi tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome.”
35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.
Azɔ Yakobo kple Yohanes, Zebedeo ƒe viwo va egbɔ, va do dalĩ nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, míedi be nàwɔ nane na mí.”
36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
Yesu bia wo be, “Nu ka dim miele?”
37 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.
Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Míedi be míanɔ wò nuɖusime kple wò miame le wò fiaɖuƒe la me. Ame ɖeka nanɔ wò ɖusime eye ame evelia nanɔ wò miame.”
38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Mienya nu si biam miele o. Miate ŋu ano nu tso fukpekpe ƒe kplu veve si no ge mala la me, eye miate ŋu anɔ te ɖe fukpekpe ƒe tsideta si de ge wole ta nam la hã nua?”
39 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ɛ̃, míate ŋui.” Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Anɔ eme be miate ŋu ano nu tso kplu veve si me mele nu no ge le la me, eye miate ŋu axɔ tsideta veve si xɔ ge mala,
40 But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but [it shall be given to them] for whom it is prepared.
gake ŋusẽ mele asinye be maɖo mi zikpuiwo dzi le nye nuɖusime kple nye miame o, elabena wodzra wo ɖo ɖi na ame siwo wotia da ɖi la ko.”
41 And when the ten heard [it], they began to be much displeased with James and John.
Nusrɔ̃la ewo mamlɛawo se nya si Yakobo kple Yohanes ɖabia Yesu, ale wodo dɔmedzoe ɖe wo ŋu vevie.
42 But Jesus called them [to him], and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.
Le esia ta Yesu yɔ wo va eɖokui gbɔe hegblɔ na wo be, “Abe ale si mienya ene la, dukɔwo ƒe kplɔlawo ɖua aƒetɔ ɖe wo dzi, eye woƒe amegãwo kpɔa ŋusẽ ɖe wo dzi,
43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
gake meganɔ nenema le miawo ya dome o. Ame si di be yeanye amegã le mia dome la, ele nɛ be wòanye mi katã ƒe subɔla,
44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
eye ame si di be yeanye amewo katã ƒe tatɔ la, ele nɛ be wòanye woƒe kluvi,
45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
elabena Amegbetɔ Vi la meva be ame aɖeke nasubɔ ye o. Ke boŋ be wòasubɔ amewo, eye be yeatsɔ yeƒe agbe ana ɖe ame geɖewo ƒe ɖeɖekpɔkpɔ ta.”
46 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimæus, the son of Timæus, sat by the highway side begging.
Azɔ wova ɖo Yeriko. Emegbe la, esi woto dua me yina la, amewo nye zi bibibi kplɔ wo ɖo. Ŋkunɔ nubiala aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Bartimeo (Timeo ƒe vi la), nɔ anyi ɖe mɔto.
47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, [thou] Son of David, have mercy on me.
Esi Bartimeo se be Yesu Nazaretitɔ la va yina la, edo ɣli sesĩe be, “Yesu David ƒe Vi, kpɔ nublanui nam!”
48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, [Thou] Son of David, have mercy on me.
Ame siwo kplɔ Yesu ɖo la dometɔ aɖewo blu ɖe eta sesĩe be, “Ɖo to kaba!” Gake egado ɣli sesĩe wu tsã be, “Ao, David ƒe Vi, kpɔ nublanui nam.”
49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
Esi Yesu se eŋkɔ la, etɔ ɖe mɔƒoa me hegblɔ be, “Migblɔ nɛ be neva.” Ale wogblɔ nɛ be, “Wò dzi nedze eme. Yesu le yɔwòm, tso va.”
50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
Eɖe eƒe awu ƒu gbe, eye wòɖe abla dzidzɔtɔe va do ɖe Yesu gbɔ.
51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
Yesu biae be, “Nu ka nèdi be mawɔ na ye?” Ŋkuagbãtɔ la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Nufiala, medi be makpɔ nu.”
52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Enyo, ava eme na wò. Wò xɔse da gbe le ŋuwò.” Ŋkunɔ la ƒe ŋkuwo ʋu enumake, eye wòde asi nukpɔkpɔ me. Ale wòdze Yesu yome kple dzidzɔ manyagblɔ aɖe.
