Luke 8
1 Soon after that, Jesus went, along with his twelve [disciples], through various cities and villages. As they went, he was telling people the good message about how God wants (to have complete control/to rule) [MET] [over their lives].
Uso na nin dandaunu ba, Yesu cizina ucin nanya nigbir ngangan na nitari, nbellu nliru ucine, kitene kipin tigo Kutelle, inung likure nya nanghe.
2 Some women from whom he had expelled evil spirits and healed of diseases also [went with him]. These included Mary, the woman from Magdala [village], from whom [he had expelled] seven evil spirits;
Among awani alenga na iwa kalla nani Uruhu unanzan nan tikonu. Inughere, Maryamu ule na idin yicughe Magdaliya, Kitime iwa kalla ghe agbergenu kuzor.
3 Joanna, the wife of Chuza, who was one of [King] Herod [Antipas’] officials; Susanna; and many others. They were providing some of their own funds [to help Jesus and his disciples].
Yuwana uwanin Kuza, unan katuwa Hirdus, Suzana, nan namon awani gbardang, alenge na iwa buun nani nin nimon nacara mine.
4 A large crowd of people came to Jesus from many towns. Then he told them this parable:
Nene na ligozi nanit gbardang nzura ligowe, umunu anit ale na iwa cinu udak kiti mye unuzu nigbir gbardang, asu uliru nanghinu nin tinan tigoldo.
5 “A man went out [to his field] to sow [some] seeds. As he was scattering them over the soil, some [of the seeds] fell on the path. Then [people] walked on those seeds, and birds ate them.
Unan tibila ndo nbilisu nimus, na adi tibile imon imusu disso, libau, ipatila inin nin nabunu anyin kitene kani da pilla inin.
6 Some [of the seeds] fell on rock [on which there was a thin layer of] moist [soil]. As soon as the seeds grew, the plants dried up because they had no moisture.
Imon imus disso kiti ikoto, bara na idinin nmyin ba.
7 Some [of the seeds] fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny [weeds]. The thorny weeds grew [together] with the young plants, and [they] crowded out [those plants].
Har nene imon imus disso kiti nimart, na imarte nkuno ligowe nin nimuse, imarte buco imuse.
8 But some of the seeds fell on good soil and grew [well]. [Each seed later] produced 100 [grains].” Then Jesus called out to them, “If you want to understand [MTY] this, you must consider [carefully what I have just said]!”
Bara nani imon imus disso kutyin kucine inin na iyoli na iwa duru akat kazakure.” Kube na Yesu nbelle nani, ayicila nani, “Vat nlonge na adinin natuf na alanza.”
9 Jesus’ disciples [later] asked him about the meaning of the parable [he had just told].
Inung nono kadura mye tiringhe iyaghari tinan tigoldo mye di nbellu.
10 He said, “God is revealing to you what he did not reveal before, about [how he wants to] rule [MET] [over people’s lives]. But when I am telling other people about [these things, I tell them] only in parables. The result will be [like a prophet predicted long ago]: They will see [what I am doing], but will not perceive [what it means]. They will hear [what I am saying], but will not understand [it].
Yesu woro nani, “Ina ni munu kubi iyinin imon linyeshin kitene kipin tigo Kutelle, bara kagisine iba bellu nani nin tinan tigoldo, 'iba yenju na iba yene gegeme ba, iba lanzu, na iba yinnu ba.'
11 So this is the meaning of that parable: The seeds [represent] God’s message.
Nene tinan tigoldo tinere, imuse uliru Kutelle ri.
12 [Some people are like] the path on which some of [the seeds fell]. When these people hear God’s message, the devil comes and causes them to forget what they have heard. As a result, they do not believe it, and will not be saved {[God] will not save them}.
Imus ile na idisso libou, innere anit alenge na ilanza ligbulang nliru, shetan uni nda ada bollo ligbulang nliru nanya nibinai bara iwa yinin ise utucu.
13 [Some people are like] the [soil with] rock [underneath]. When they hear [God’s] message, they accept it joyfully. [But because it does not penetrate deeply] [MET] [into their inner beings], they believe it for [only] a [short] time. [They are like the plants that] did not have [deep] roots. When difficult things happen to them, they stop believing [God’s message].
Inin ile na idisso kiti natala anitari alenge na ilanza ligbulang nliruwe, inani sere nin liburi liboo na iyisin nin likara ba, inung sa iyinna bara kubi baat, kubi na igwada nani asa idio.
14 [Some people are like] the [soil that had roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They are people who accept [God’s message], but later on they worry about things, and try to become rich, and enjoy [things that give them] a lot of pleasure. So they do not become [spiritually] mature.
Imus ile na idisso kiti nimart inughere anit alenge na ilanza ligbulang nliru, inani nsuna linin inani nda parda nani nin nbellen nikurfung nin nlanzu nmang nlai, na isa ina imus ile na idisso kutyin kucine.
15 But [some people are like] the good soil. They hear [God’s] message and accept it. They [become] good, honest people, and they continue doing things [that please God] [MET].”
Inughere anit ale idinin kibinai kilau ninn nan nbellu kidegen, na imala ulanzu nlire, imino unin nin likara, isu kumat nin likara.
16 “After people light a lamp, they do not cover it with a basket or put it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a lampstand, so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light [MET]. [Similarly, you must tell God’s truth to others so that they can know what I can do for them].
Nene, na umon duku ule na aba ti ulah npitila awufu nin kishik, sa a ceo nanya lii nkoni, se dei atarda unin kutet, vat nlenge na apira ama yenu nkananghe.
17 [God wants to] make clear all [of his truth] that was not evident previously. [He intends] that all of [the truth] that [he] had not revealed before be told openly {that [his people] openly tell [others] all [of the truth] that [he] has not revealed before}.
Na imomon nyeshin, ilenge na una sali sa uyinnu ba, a na imomon nyeshin ile na iba yinnu idak nanya nkanang.
18 So listen carefully [to what I tell you], because [God] will enable those who accept [my truth] to [understand even] more. But [God] will cause those who do not accept [my truth] to not understand even [the little] that they think they have [understood].”
Suun seng nanya nlanzu, vat nlenge na adumun, amere iba kpinghe ku, ame ule na asali mun, iba seru ile na adin kpilizu a adumun.”
19 [One day Jesus’] mother and his [younger] brothers came to see him, but they could not get near him because there was a large crowd [around him in the house].
Kubi na unan Yesu nin nuane wa kiti mye, iwase uduru kupo mye ba, bara gbardang nanit.
20 Someone told him, “Your mother and your [younger] brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
Ibellin ghe, “Unafe nin nuanafine yisin ndas, idinin su iyene fi.”
21 He replied, “Those who hear God’s message and obey it are [as dear to me] [MET] as my mother and my brothers.”
Yesu kauwa aworo nani, “Una nighe nin nwana nighe, inunghere alenge na idin nwana nighe, inughere alenge na idin lanzu uliru Kutelle idorto unin.”
22 One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples. He said to them, “Let’s go [around to] the other side of the lake.” So they started to go.
Nene uso nlon liyiri, Yesu nin nono kadura mye ipira nanya nzirgin nmyen, a woro, “Nati kafin udu uleli uwul kulle.” Itunna ndinna ikafinar.
23 As they were sailing, he fell asleep. A big windstorm struck the lake. Soon the boat was filling with water, and they were in danger.
Na idinna ukafine, Yesu tina nmoro fiyilili nfunu fita kang nanya kulle, uzirge kullo nin nmyen itunna ipira nanya tikanci.
24 Jesus’ disciples woke him up. They said [to him], “Master! Master! We [(inc)] are going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to be calm. The wind [immediately] stopped blowing and the waves calmed down. [The lake] became calm.
Nono katuwa mye di fiyaghe, iworo, “Cikilari, Cikilari, nmyen ba millu nari!” A fita akpada ufune nin mye ne, fiyilili yisina kite so dang.
25 He said to them, “(I [am disappointed that] you did not trust me [to help you]!/Why did you not trust me [to help you]?)” [RHQ] They were afraid. They were also amazed. They said to each other, “(What kind of man is this?/This man is not like ordinary men!) [RHQ] He [not only commands people, but] when he commands the wind and the water, they also obey him!”
Uyinnu mine, sa uyene de atirino nono katuwa mye nanya fiu nin kiti tinu itirino atimine, ghari ule adi kpadizu ufunu nin nmyen, inani din dortu ghe?”
26 Jesus and his disciples arrived at the region near Gerasa, a [town] which [was on the eastern] side of Lake [Galilee].
Ikafina udu kipin Ngarisinawa, na ki nleli uwul Ngalili.
27 [There was] a man [in that region] in whom demons lived. [He was] from the town [of Gerasa]. (OR, [In that area there was] a man [from that town] whom demons controlled.) For a long time he had not worn clothes. He did not live in a house. Instead, he lived in burial caves.
Kubi na Yesu yisina nbiu kurawa, a zuro nin nmong unan nilaza nanya kipine, nin dandaunu na adin nsho. Imon a sosin kilari ba, asosin nissek.
28 Many times [demons] attacked him. He was guarded {[People] tried to guard him} [so that he would not injure others]. Chains were fastened {They fastened chains} on his hands and shackles on his feet, but he would break the chains and shackles. Then he would be sent away by the demons {the demons would send him away} to some desolate area. When Jesus stepped out of the boat onto the shore, the man saw him. He [ran to Jesus] and prostrated himself before him. Then Jesus commanded, “You evil spirit, come out of that man!” But it [did not leave immediately. Instead, it] caused the man to shout very loudly, “Jesus, Son of the great God in heaven, since we [(inc)] have nothing in common, [leave me alone] [RHQ]! I beg you, do not torture me [now]!”
Na ayene Yesu ku, usu agilla adio nabunu mye, atah ntet kang, “Iyaghari udin piziru kiti nighe Yesu gono Kutelle? Inan kitene, ndin nfofi nacara yenje uwa fuuni ba.”
Yesu atta uruhu unazan ghe a nuzu nanya nnite, nkon kubi gbardang asa imone yiraghe. Inani sa itaghe inyang naccara nin nabunu, iceoghe unan ncaa, asa atasa inya ghe agbergenu wunnu ghe udi niti ninanzang.
30 [In order to expel the demon more easily], Jesus asked [the demon], “What is your [(sg)] name?” He replied, “My name is Crowd/Mob.” [He said that] because many demons had entered that man.
Yesu tiringhe, “Lisafe ghari?” A kawoghe, “Libutari,” Bara agbergenu gbardang di nanya mye.
31 [The demons] kept begging [Jesus] that he would not command them to go into the deep place [where God punishes demons]. (Abyssos g12)
Ifoo Yesu ku acara kang, na awa mollu nani ba. (Abyssos g12)
32 There was a large herd of pigs (grazing/rooting for food) on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus that he allow them to enter the pigs. So he did.
Ligo naladu wa di kileo kusari, agbbergenu foo Yesu ku acara, asun nani, ipiru nanya naladu, Yesu yinna nani.
33 The demons left the man and entered the pigs. Then the herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
Na agbergenu nnuzu nanya nnite, idi piru nanya naladue, itunna iputu nin ncum idi diu kule ituna iwulu.
34 When the men who were taking care of the pigs saw what happened, they ran! They told people inside the town and outside the town what had happened.
Na anan libiya nalade nyene ile na isu, ido nanya kipine nin ncum, idi bellin kagbire nin nanya kipine.
35 So people went out to see what had happened. When they came to where Jesus was, they saw that the man from whom Jesus had [expelled] the demons was sitting at the feet of Jesus, [listening to him]. He had clothes on, and his mind was normal again. Then those people became afraid [because they thought that Jesus would destroy more of their property] (OR, [because they realized that he must be very powerful]).
Anite nuzu idi kiti Yesu, ise unite ule na agbergenu nnuzu kiti mye, sosin nabunun Yesu, nin nimon kidowa nin kibinai dert, ilanza fiu.
36 The people who had seen what happened told those [who had just arrived] how [Jesus] had healed the man whom demons were controlling [before].
Alenge na iyene nani ibelle anite inda na agbergenu nnuzu, unite uni nshino.
37 Then [those people and] many other people [HYP] from the area near Gerasa asked Jesus to leave their area. They were very afraid of [what else Jesus would do to them]. So [Jesus and the disciples] got into the boat to go back across the lake.
Vat nanite kipin Ngarisinawa woro Yesu ku asun nani, bara anite apira uzirgi nmyen a nya.
38 The man from whom he had [expelled] the demons begged him saying, “[Please], let me go with you!” But [Jesus refused. Instead], he said to him,
Unite ulenge na agbergenu nnuzu kiti mye, foo Yesu ku acara adofinghe. Yesu kpiliya ghe aworo,
39 “[No], go home and tell people how much God has done for you!” Then he sent him away. So the man went away and told people throughout the nearby town how much Jesus had done for him.
“Kpilla kilari, ubellin ile imon na Kutelle nsu fi, unite kpilla abelle nanya kipine vat nile imon na Yesu nsu ghe.
40 When [Jesus and the disciples] returned [to Capernaum], a crowd of people who had been waiting for him welcomed him.
Na Yesu nkpilla, ligozi nanite ta ghe mahabi, bara vat mine di ncaa mye.
41 Just then a man named Jairus, who was one of the leaders (of the synagogue/of the Jewish meeting place) [there], came near and prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet. He pleaded with Jesus, “Please come to my house [and heal my daughter],
Umon unit lisa mye Jairus, udia kutyi nlirag ada dio nabunu Yesu nfo ghe nacara adak kilari mye,
42 my only daughter, who is about twelve years old, because she is dying!” As Jesus went with him, many people crowded close to Jesus.
bara gono kishono mye kirum, unan nakus likure, anon fawal, na Yesu wa cinu uduwe, ligozi keseghe.
43 Then a woman came near. She had been suffering from constant [vaginal] [EUP] bleeding for twelve years, but she could not be healed by anyone {no one could heal her}.
Umong uwani wa duku, ulenge na awadi nanya nmyi, akus likare, na ase unan nshinu ninghe ba.
44 She came behind [Jesus] and touched the edge of his robe [in order to be healed]. At once her bleeding stopped.
Ada mamal mye, adodo imon mye likot nanya kube nmyi mye yisina.
45 Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When everyone said that they had not touched him, Peter said, “Lord, there is a large crowd of people around you [(sg)] and crowding against you, [so any one of them might have touched you]!”
“Ghari ndudui?” Yesu tirino, vat mine ta amusuku, Bitrus woro, “Cikilari, anite di gbardang ina ni din parduzu fi.”
46 But Jesus said, “[I know that] someone [deliberately] touched me, [because] my power has healed someone [who touched me].”
Yesu woro, “Umong ndudui, yinno likara nnuzu kiti nighe.”
47 When the woman realized that she could not prevent [Jesus] (OR, [people]) from knowing that [she was healed], her body began to shake. [She was afraid that because she had disobeyed the law that a woman with such a condition should not touch others, Jesus might scold her for doing that]. She prostrated herself before Jesus. As the other people were listening, she told why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately.
Uwani nin nyene, na awanya anya likire ba, ada nin ketizu adeo nabunu mye. Nbun nanite vat, abelle ile imon na ita amini ndudoghe, nin inda na atunna ashino.
48 [Jesus] said to her, “(Ma’am/My dear woman), because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you. Go [from here, and may you experience God’s] peace [within you].”
Atunna aworo, “Ushono, nigh uyinu sa uyenu fe nshino ninfi. Can sheu.”
49 While he was still talking [to her], a man from Jairus’ house came and said to Jairus, “Your daughter has died. So (it is useless that you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]!/why do you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]?) [RHQ]”
Kube na Yesu wadi nliru, umon da kiti mye unuzu kilarin Jairus udia kutyi nliran, “Ushono fe, nkuu. Yenje uwa damu unan dursuzu ninyerte.
50 But when Jesus heard that, he said to Jairus, “Do not think that there is nothing more that can be done. Just believe that [I can help her. If you(sg) do that], she will live again.”
Nin lanzu nani, Yesu woro, “Jairus ku, yenje uwa lanza fiu, yinna ushono fe ba shinu.”
51 When they arrived outside Jairus’ house, Jesus allowed only Peter, John, James, and the girl’s mother and father to go in Jairus’ house with him.
Kubi na aduru kilarin Jairus, na ayinna umon pira ninghe ba, se Bitrus nin Yohanna a Yakubu, a ucif nin nnan ngone.
52 All the people [there] were crying and beating their chests [to show that they were sad]. But, [knowing that he would cause the girl to live again], he said to them, “Stop crying! She is not dead! She is [just] sleeping [MET]!”
Vzat ninite yita kuculu nin tiyom, “Cinnon kuculu Yesu woro na akuu wari ba, adi nmorari.”
53 The people laughed at him, because they knew that [the girl] was dead.
Isisaghe, bara inug yiru a kuu, wari.
54 But [Jesus] took hold of her hand and called to her, saying, “Child, get up!”
Akiffo ghee ncara a woro, “Gono nig fita.”
55 At once her spirit returned [to her body] and she got up. Jesus immediately said, “Give her something to eat!”
Ulai mye kpila, nanya mye, kubi atuna afita, Yesu woro nani inighe imomon alii.
56 Her parents were amazed, but Jesus told them not to tell anyone [else yet] what had happened.
Anit mye kiffo tinu, yesu woro nani na iwa bellin umon imon ile na idi ba.
