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].
la yilam nyo kambo Yeecu ter yam cembo cinar lor kange mwanti lore ki kang ki wang, tok fulen kereroti kange fulen liyar kwama kwob culombo yobeu wi kange co,
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;
kange natubo kange wo ca twam ci yuwako kwir kange twira kila-kila. maryamu wo ci cuwo ti ki makdaliya, wo ci cokten ninga nibereu,
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].
kange yuwana wii kuza, nawiye tomange hiridu, cuzanatu, kange kangumbo kila nyeu, kin dike kang cike ci ma mangen ti cikr
4 A large crowd of people came to Jesus from many towns. Then he told them this parable:
la nubo ducce mwekangu ti, kange kangum nob bouti cinar lor-cinar lor reu, cin yii ci dangke,
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.
nii fike kange ciri a fii dum la coti fii ri kangum bo yarken kong nure, cin fawarangum ki na, bilibeu diyeu yirau bon com.
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.
kangumbo yar dor terenti, la kii ri kucom, dula mani
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].
kangumbo yarken mor cwiyaka la cwiyak kii kange dumbo ri, cwiyakko cakkangum co
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]!”
la kangumbo yar bitine kenneu ma ken, wo lam kiriti kwini kwobbe. bwiko Yeecu dim tokka kere keu, cuwo ci, “ki tu nuwaka kere, ca nuwa
9 Jesus’ disciples [later] asked him about the meaning of the parable [he had just told].
bi bei tomange ce meco dang kewo nuntiye con yici, la kangum bo ciye me yici ki dangka, nyori ci ti toi maci toti citi nuwai ma ci nyomti
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].
con yici, nyomka yurke liyar kwamar cin nekom, la kangum bo ciye ma yi ci ki dangka, nyomti
11 So this is the meaning of that parable: The seeds [represent] God’s message.
dike dangka nuntiyeu co wo, dumbo ker kwamar
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}.
buro yar nureu, wori nuwa ri bwekelkele bou yuwom kero ner cireu, nyo na ci nere bilenke naci fiya fuloka
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].
buro yar do terentiyeu, co buro no ci nuwa kero dici yuwo ki nero for, la ci man ki niti, cin ne bilenke, kutan bori, cuwakako bou ri ci yarum.
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.
dumbo wo yar mor cwiyakeu, ci nobo wo nuwa ri, la ci yakenti ri, cwika kalek, kyemer kange nuwaka lima ca kkangum ci la ci mabo ken
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].”
woro dor bitinero keneu, ci buro ki bilnka kange nero kenne, tam yoran, ma dikero ken mor birum nere.
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].
nii mani a kwer kirati na cumom, kakaa yoken bok kwannik, ca yo codor diker, na nobo doutiye to kirako
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}.
mani dikero yurangum yurange mani a nyomtiye, kakaa yurke kange wii wo ba nyombe a bou ti kira
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].”
nyori nuwa, yora, nii wo ki diker ducceu ri an yok cinen ten woro man cikeu, bi duwar ci cikeu an yuwom cinen.
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].
la nece kange yitub ceb bou, cinen, la ma ciya fiya nure lakati cinen, wori nubo ducce
20 Someone told him, “Your mother and your [younger] brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
cin yi co, nemwe kange yitub mwem tim kale, cwiti na ci tonen”
21 He replied, “Those who hear God’s message and obey it are [as dear to me] [MET] as my mother and my brothers.”
Yeecu ciya ci yi ci, nemi kange yitub mib co nobo wuro nuwa ker kwama di ma namgen cike.
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.
bi con doken mor nabire mweme kange be bei tomange ce, con ci,”bi yabken dinge wure no cin yoten yambo,
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.
la ciyakentiri, co dam dum yuwa kibi kwama kwennuncayi, mwembo yoten dim na bire mwenge ciyeuti, ciki no nyi kware.
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.
la bi bei tomange Yeecu bou cinen cin yunco, ciki “teluwe, nyo nyi bware con kweni, yuwako kange mwelanka mwemek ko, wori cin tim
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!”
la con yi ci ki fe ke kimeu? cin nuwa tai ci myimam dike woti ci me buti citi we nii wuro werang yuwati kange mwembo ki nyial neco dure?
26 Jesus and his disciples arrived at the region near Gerasa, a [town] which [was on the eastern] side of Lake [Galilee].
la cin yaken Garacinawa wo kino dinge caji Galili
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.
fiya cuwo Yeecu doken bitene, cowari, con wabkan nii kange cerum cinar loreu ki ninga kwutangi cinen la wormangum kulen cero. mani dã lo ki dã tiber tuwetini
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]!”
la con Yeecu ri con kwa dir yarkan ka Yeecu, cin tok ker kwang ka, ki mo Yeecu bi bwe kwama nii duktonka, mi kennenti neyere dotange
wori Yeecu cokkan yuwakeliko ki nyial nii cuwo nin kiritti ducce ki ta core bwentano cin bwam cori cin yoti nii atocotiri, kiyangum diker bwakaro, ningau ywa co yaken ciko yera
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.
la Yeecu me co, “we den mwero? ki dencero muri, wori kelkelibo ducce do bwiciye
31 [The demons] kept begging [Jesus] that he would not command them to go into the deep place [where God punishes demons]. (Abyssos g12)
ci ken Yeecu ti a ywa cire ki nyial mor buwoke (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.
na wen, ngiyere ducce ca cariti fir banger ninga buro ken co ca dob ci ciya doken bwi ceru la cin ne ci nure
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.
nyori ninga buro ceru bwi nii wuro doranken bwi ngiyere tini cin cwakkangi yaranken mor mweme cin bwiyarangum
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.
la nubo to ngiyere buro tiye, dike wo mane ri, cin cwakkan ken mor cinar lor cin yi nubo dikewo bwiyeu
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]).
la nubo cecu naci to dikero maneu, cin bou Yeecu nin, cin fiya nii wo cokten ningau yim bi dom na Yeecu, dumki kulen, wo kwamer tak. lacin cwa tai
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].
la nubo to dikero maneu, yi dike maneu, yuwa kelkelibo wo cerum bwi nii we
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.
la nubo gwam biten Garacinawau yi Yeecu a dobom bitine ciyeu wori taito dur tamci nyori cin doken nabire mwenge naci yilaken bwi.
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,
nii woci cokten ningau ken Yeecu na cin ya wari, la Yeecu yi co,
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.
yilaken lo na yii nubo dike kwama ma cineneu nii woro kentangum cinar loro gwam, tok dike Yeecu ma cinenu
40 When [Jesus and the disciples] returned [to Capernaum], a crowd of people who had been waiting for him welcomed him.
na weu Yeecu yilaken neu nubo duccu nawo yuwoce, no ci nintang coti
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],
la nikange wi dendo ki Yariyu, ciki no mor nubo durer kwamaro Urcalima, bou bidom kange Yeecu cungen naa Yeecu, con ken co ca ya loco,
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.
wori, bi bwece bwebubya, coro kwob culombo yob, kan co wiin cineneu ki no nyi kware laYeecu yaken tiri nubo ducce tunkanti bwiti ciye kentangum co
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}.
la nawiye kange wo cor gwam dike ci cikeu bwiyale ti coro kwob culomo yobe, twalum gwam dike ci cikeu, co fiyabo twaka nii kange nin
44 She came behind [Jesus] and touched the edge of his robe [in order to be healed]. At once her bleeding stopped.
co bou bwi Yeecu con tei nyii belliceu, wii dancan kwiyele ceu tim.
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]!”
la Yeecu yiki we kece? la nii wo ciya cinen wii more ciye gwam di, bituru yi co, nii merangka, nubo duccu kantangum mo, tunkanti bwimi
46 But Jesus said, “[I know that] someone [deliberately] touched me, [because] my power has healed someone [who touched me].”
Yeecu yi co “kange nii ke ye, min yimom, bikwan ceri minen.
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.
na wiye wo to nyo ma ca fiye cerka ti ri con bou fiye Yeecu wiye, cungi kaco, nuwe nube gwan, con tok ca fiya dikero gwam wo dok co ca ke ce, la nyoro, ca kfiya twaka
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].”
la con yi co, “bwe, bilenke mwam nen, yaa ki for nerek
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]”
con wi co tok ker ti duwal di kange bou bi kur kwama nubo dure, ki bi bwe mwe bwiyam, ki nere ni meranka dotange tak
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.”
Yeecu nuwa wori, con ciya yariyu nin nuwari tai neka bilenke, bi bwemwe atwam
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.
la ca ya luwe cori ca dobbo nii a do mor kange co kange Bitru kange Yuwana kange Yakubu te kange ne bweu
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]!”
nubo wiye ci ti wori bweu bwiyami la con yi ci kom cire wiye co bwiyabo, ki dadum
53 The people laughed at him, because they knew that [the girl] was dead.
la cin mung co, wori cin nyimom bwiyam
54 But [Jesus] took hold of her hand and called to her, saying, “Child, get up!”
co tu bwe kang cer, cin cuwo ki bi kwang bwenu yi ci ciya fiya cinen dike ca catiye
55 At once her spirit returned [to her body] and she got up. Jesus immediately said, “Give her something to eat!”
dume ce yilaken, dancan con kwenu con yi ci ciya fiya cinen dike ca catiye
56 Her parents were amazed, but Jesus told them not to tell anyone [else yet] what had happened.
teekange nece nyimangi, con yici ciya yi re nii dike wo maneu.
