Luke 13
1 And there were some present at that time, telling Him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifices;
Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, ame aɖewo ka ale si Pilato na be wowu Galileatɔwo hetɔtɔ woƒe ʋu kple woƒe numemewo la ta nɛ.
2 and Jesus answering said to them, “Do you think that these Galileans became sinners beyond all the Galileans, because they have suffered such things?
Yesu trɔ bia ameawo be, “Ɖe miebu be ame siwo wowu la ƒe nu vɔ̃wo sɔ gbɔ wu Galileatɔ bubuwo tɔ tae wowu wo ɖoa?
3 No—I say to you, but if you may not convert, even so will all you perish.
Gbeɖe, mele eme nenema o! Miawo hã minya be yewoatsrɔ̃ alea ke nenye be miegbe be yewomatrɔ dzi me o.
4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, do you think that these became debtors beyond all men who are dwelling in Jerusalem?
“Aleke miebu tso ame wuienyi siwo dzi Siloam gbetakpɔxɔ la mu dze woku la ŋu? Woawoe nye nu vɔ̃ wɔla gãtɔwo wu le Yerusalem mahã?
5 No—I say to you, but if you may not convert, all you will perish in like manner.”
Gbeɖe, menye woawoe o. Miawo hã miatsrɔ̃ nenye be miegbe be yewomatrɔ dzi me o.”
6 And He spoke this allegory: “A certain one had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit in it, and he did not find;
Azɔ Yesu yi dzi do lo sia be, “Ŋutsu aɖe do kutsetseti aɖe ɖe eƒe abɔ me, eye wòvaa atia te edziedzi be yeakpɔ be etse ku aɖe mahã, gake mekpɔa kutsetse aɖeke le edzi o.
7 and he said to the vinedresser, Behold, three years I come seeking fruit in this fig tree, and do not find [it], cut it off, why does it also render the ground useless?
Mlɔeba la, egblɔ na abɔdzikpɔla be nelã atia ƒu anyi. Egblɔ kpe ɖe eŋu dzikutɔe be, ‘Melala ʋuu ƒe etɔ̃ sɔŋ, gake ati sia metse ku ɖeka pɛ hã kpɔ o! Lãe ƒu anyi. Nu ka ta magana wòanɔ te? Ele mɔ xem na anyigba la.’
8 And he answering says to him, Lord, permit it also this year, until I may dig around it, and cast in dung;
“Abɔdzikpɔla la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, ‘Aƒetɔ, na wòaganɔ anyi ƒe ɖeka kpɔ. Matrɔ asi le eŋu nyuie agbugbɔ aɖu ado ɖe ete.
9 and if indeed it may bear fruit—and if not so, thereafter you will cut it off.”
Nenye be etse ku la, enyo, ke ne metse ku o la, malãe ƒu anyi.’”
10 And He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath,
Gbe ɖeka esi Yesu nɔ nu fiam le Yudatɔwo ƒe ƒuƒoƒe le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkekea dzi la,
11 and behold, there was a woman having a spirit of disability [for] eighteen years, and she was bent together, and not able to bend back at all,
ekpɔ nyɔnu aɖe si dɔléamegbɔgbɔ na wònɔ dɔ lém vevie ƒe wuienyi sɔŋ. Dɔléle la na be wòxa gobaa, ale be mate ŋu adzɔ ɖe tsitrenu o.
12 and Jesus having seen her, called [her] near and said to her, “Woman, you have been loosed from your disability”;
Yesu yɔe va eɖokui gbɔe eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Nyɔnu, èvo tso wò dɔléle la si me!”
13 and He laid on her [His] hands, and immediately she was set upright, and was glorifying God.
Azɔ eka asi eŋu, eye enumake nyɔnu la ƒe dɔa vɔ nɛ, eye wòdzɔ ɖe tsitre kã hekafu Mawu.
14 And the chief of the synagogue answering—much displeased that on the Sabbath Jesus healed—said to the multitude, “Six days there are in which it is necessary to be working; in these, then, coming, be healed, and not on the day of the Sabbath.”
Yudatɔwo ƒe kplɔla si nɔ ƒuƒoƒe ma dzi kpɔm la do dziku vevie le nu si Yesu wɔ la ta, elabena eyɔ dɔ na nyɔnu la le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkekea dzi. Edo ɣli gblɔ na ameha la be, “Ŋkeke ade sɔŋ le kɔsiɖa ɖeka me esiwo dzi woawɔ dɔ le, esiae nye ŋkeke siwo dzi wòle be nàva woayɔ dɔ wò, ke menye le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke dzi o!”
15 Then the LORD answered him and said, “Hypocrite, do not each of you loose his ox or donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and having led [it] away, water [it]?
Aƒetɔ la ɖo eŋu be, “Mi alakpanuwɔlawo! Ɖe mieɖea ka miaƒe tedziwo alo nyiwo le woƒe kpowo me le Dzudzɔgbe dzi, eye miekplɔa wo yina ɖanaa tsi wo wonona oa? Esia hã nye dɔwɔwɔ le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkekea dzi.
16 And this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound eighteen years, behold, did [she] not ought to be loosed from this bond on the day of the Sabbath?”
Ke nu vɔ̃ wònye nye ya mewɔ be meɖe ga Yuda nyɔnu, Abraham ƒe dzidzimevi sia, le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke dzia? Ame si Satana bla kple dɔléle ƒe wuienyi sɔŋ la?”
17 And He saying these things, all who were opposed to Him were being ashamed, and all the multitude were rejoicing over all the glorious things that are being done by Him.
Eƒe nya siawo na be ŋu kpe eƒe futɔwo katã, eye ame sia ame kpɔ dzidzɔ le nukunu gã siwo katã wòwɔ la ta.
18 And He said, “To what is the Kingdom of God like? And to what will I liken it?
Azɔ egade asi nufiafia amewo me le mawufiaɖuƒe la ŋuti. Ebia wo be, “Aleke mawufiaɖuƒe la le? Nu ka ŋue miate ŋu atsɔe asɔ ɖo?
19 It is like to a grain of mustard, which a man having taken, cast into his garden, and it increased, and came to a great tree, and the birds of the heavens rested in its branches.”
Ele abe atiku sue aɖe si wodo ɖe agble me ene. Atiku sia tsi kabakaba va zu ati kɔkɔ aɖe, eye wòɖe alɔwo fũu, eye xeviwo va wɔ atɔ ɖe alɔawo me.”
20 And again He said, “To what will I liken the Kingdom of God?
Egabia ake be, “Nu ka ŋu matsɔ mawufiaɖuƒe asɔ ɖo?
21 It is like leaven, which a woman, having taken, hid in three measures of meal, until all was leavened.”
Eɖi nuʋãnu si nyɔnu aɖe tsɔ de abolomɔ me, eye wòwɔ dɔ to abolomɔ blibo la me va se ɖe esime wòʋã nyuie.”
22 And He was going through cities and villages, teaching, and making progress toward Jerusalem;
Azɔ Yesu nɔ tsatsam le du kple kɔƒewo me nɔ nu fiam amewo, ke ekpɔ egbɔ be yenɔ tetem ɖe Yerusalem ŋu.
23 and a certain one said to Him, “Lord, are those saved few?” And He said to them,
Ame aɖe va egbɔ va biae be, “Aƒetɔ, ame ʋɛ aɖewo koe le ɖeɖe kpɔ gea?” Eɖo eŋu na wo be,
24 “Be striving to go in through the straight gate, because many, I say to you, will seek to go in, and will not be able;
“Miʋli be miage ɖe eme to agbo xaxɛ la me, elabena ame geɖewo adi be yewoage ɖe eme, ke mele egblɔm be womate ŋui o.
25 from the time the Master of the house may have risen up, and may have shut the door, and you may begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us, and He answering will say to you, I have not known you from where you are,
Nenye be Aƒetɔ la tsi tsitre hetu ʋɔa la, ekema mietsi megbe. Mianɔ tsitre ɖe ʋɔa godo anɔ eƒom be, ‘Aƒetɔ, ʋu ʋɔa na mi.’ “Ke aɖo eŋu na mi be, ‘Nyemenya mi kple afi si mietso o.’
26 then you may begin to say, We ate before You, and drank, and You taught in our broad places;
“Miawo miaɖo eŋu nɛ be, ‘Mí kpli wò míede asi agba ɖeka me ɖu nu kpɔ, eye nèfia nu le míaƒe ablɔwo dzi hã kpɔ.’
27 and He will say, I say to you, I have not known you from where you are; depart from Me, all you workers of the unrighteousness.
“Ke agaɖo eŋu na mi be, ‘Megblɔe na mi be nyemenya mi o. Miate ŋu ava eme o, elabena nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo mienye. Midzo le afi ma.’
28 There will be there the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth when you may see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the Kingdom of God, and yourselves being cast outside;
“Miafa avi aɖu aɖukli le esime miele tsitre ɖe xexe le Abraham, Isak, Yakob kple nyagblɔɖila siwo katã le mawufiaɖuƒea me la kpɔm ɖo ɖa.
29 and they will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will recline in the Kingdom of God,
Amewo atso ɣedzeƒe kple ɣetoɖoƒe kple anyiehe kple dziehe ava eye woanɔ kplɔ̃ ŋu le mawufiaɖuƒe la me.
30 and behold, there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.”
Mina nya sia nanɔ susu me na mi be ame siwo womebuna ɖe naneke me fifia o la axɔ bubu gã aɖe le dziƒo, eye ame siwo nye ame ŋkutawo le afi sia la, womabu wo ɖe naneke me le afi ma o.”
31 On that day there came near certain Pharisees, saying to Him, “Go forth, and be going on from here, for Herod wishes to kill You”;
Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Farisitɔ aɖewo va gblɔ nɛ be, “Ne èdi be yeatsi agbe la, ekema dzo le afi sia, elabena Fia Herod le diwòm be yeawu.”
32 and He said to them, “Having gone, say to that fox, Behold, I cast forth demons, and perfect cures today and tomorrow, and the third [day] I am being perfected;
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Miyi ɖagblɔ na ayetɔ ma be manɔ gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo nyanya dzi, eye mawɔ nukunu geɖewo, ayɔ dɔ amewo egbea kple etsɔ. Ke le ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, mawu nye dɔ nu, eye maɖo afi si yim mele.
33 but it is necessary for Me today, and tomorrow, and the [day] following, to go on, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish out of Jerusalem.
Ɛ̃, egbea, etsɔ kple ŋkeke si akplɔe ɖo la, mawu nye dɔ nu! Elabena menyo be Mawu ƒe nyagblɔɖila aɖeke naku ɖe afi aɖeke tsɔ wu Yerusalem o.
34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that is killing the prophets, and stoning those sent to her, how often I willed to gather together your children, as a hen [gathers] her brood under the wings, and you did not will.
“O, Yerusalem, Yerusalem! Du si me tɔwo wua nyagblɔɖilawo, eye woƒua kpe ame siwo woɖo ɖa be woakpe ɖe wo ŋu la. Zi geɖe la, medina vevie bena maƒo mia viwo nu ƒu abe ale si koklonɔ ƒoa viawo nu ƒui ɖe eƒe aʋala te ene, gake mieɖe mɔ nam o.
35 Behold, your house is being left to you desolate, and truly I say to you, you may not see Me, until it may come when you may say, Blessed [is] He who is coming in the Name of the LORD.”
Fifia miaƒe aƒee ma zu aƒedo. Mele egblɔm na mi be, miegale kpɔ nye ge o, va se ɖe esime miagblɔ be, ‘Woayra ame si gbɔna le Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋkɔ me.’”
