< 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].
Goude-se, Jezuz a yae eus eil kêr hag eus eil bourc'h d'egile, o prezeg hag o kemenn keloù mat rouantelezh Doue.
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;
An daouzek a oa gantañ, kenkoulz hag un nebeut gwragez a oa bet yac'haet a zrouk-speredoù hag a gleñvedoù; Mari, anvet a Vagdala, a oa aet kuit seizh diaoul diouti,
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].
Janed, gwreg Chuza, merour Herodez, Suzanna, ha kalz a reoù all, en sikoure gant o madoù.
4 A large crowd of people came to Jesus from many towns. Then he told them this parable:
Evel ma en em zastume kalz a bobl, ha ma teue d'e gavout meur a hini eus an holl gêrioù, e lavaras dezho dre barabolenn:
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.
Un hader a yeas er-maez evit hadañ e had, hag evel ma hade, ul lodenn eus an had a gouezhas a-hed an hent, hag e voe mac'het, ha laboused an neñv he debras holl.
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.
Ul lodenn all a gouezhas war ul lec'h meinek, ha pa voe savet, e sec'has abalamour ma n'he devoa ket a c'hlebor.
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].
Ul lodenn all a gouezhas e-touez ar spern; ar spern a savas gant ar greun hag o mougas.
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]!”
Ul lodenn all a gouezhas en douar mat, hag, o vezañ savet, e roas frouezh, kant evit unan. O lavarout an traoù-mañ, e krie: Ra selaouo, an neb en deus divskouarn da glevout.
9 Jesus’ disciples [later] asked him about the meaning of the parable [he had just told].
E ziskibien a c'houlennas digantañ petra e oa ar barabolenn-se.
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].
Respont a reas: Roet eo deoc'h-hu da anavezout traoù kuzhet rouantelezh Doue; met d'ar re all eo komzet dre barabolennoù, en hevelep doare o welout na welont ket, hag o klevout na gomprenont ket.
11 So this is the meaning of that parable: The seeds [represent] God’s message.
Setu petra eo ar barabolenn-se: An had eo ger Doue.
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}.
Ar re a zo a-hed an hent eo ar re en selaou; met an diaoul a zeu hag a zilam ar ger diouzh o c'halon, en aon en ur grediñ na vefent salvet.
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].
Ar re a zo war al lec'hioù meinek, eo ar re a glev ar ger, hag e zegemer gant joa; met n'o deus ket a wrizienn ha ne gredont nemet ur pennad; pa zeu an temptadur, e tec'hont kuit.
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.
Ar pezh a zo e-touez an drein, eo ar re o deus klevet ar ger, met, en ur vont kuit, en lezont da vezañ mouget gant prederioù, pinvidigezhioù ha plijadurioù ar vuhez-mañ, en hevelep doare ma ne zougont ket a frouezh a zeu da zareviñ.
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].”
Met ar pezh a zo kouezhet en un douar mat, eo ar re a glev ar ger gant ur galon onest ha mat, en dalc'h, hag a zoug frouezh gant kendalc'husted.
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].
Den, goude bezañ enaouet ur c'houlaouenn, ne c'holo anezhi gant ul lestr, ha ne laka anezhi dindan ar gwele; met he lakaat a ra war ur c'hantolor, evit ma sklaerio ar re a zeu en ti.
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}.
Rak n'eus netra kuzhet na zle bezañ disklêriet, ha n'eus netra goloet na zle bezañ dizoloet hag anavezet gant an holl.
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].”
Lakait evezh eta penaos e selaouit; rak roet e vo d'an neb en deus; met an hini n'en deus ket, a vo lamet digantañ memes ar pezh a gred en deus.
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].
E vamm hag e vreudeur a zeuas d'e gavout, met ne c'hellent ket tostaat abalamour d'ar bobl.
20 Someone told him, “Your mother and your [younger] brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
Neuze e voe lavaret dezhañ: Da vamm ha da vreudeur a zo aze er-maez, hag e c'hoantaont da welout.
21 He replied, “Those who hear God’s message and obey it are [as dear to me] [MET] as my mother and my brothers.”
Met eñ a respontas: Va mamm ha va breudeur eo ar re a selaou ger Doue, hag a sent outañ.
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.
Dont a reas un deiz, ma'z eas en ur vag gant e ziskibien, hag e lavaras dezho: Tremenomp en tu all d'al lenn. Hag ez ejont.
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.
E-pad ma oant er vag, e kouske; un taol-avel bras a savas war al lenn, ar vag en em leunie gant an dour hag e oant e riskl bras.
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.
Neuze e teujont d'e gavout, hag en dihunjont, o lavarout: Mestr, mestr, ez eomp da goll! Met eñ, o vezañ dihunet, a c'hourc'hemennas an avel hag ar mor; ar re-mañ a davas, hag e voe ur sioulder bras.
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!”
Neuze e lavaras dezho: Pelec'h emañ ho feiz? Int, leuniet a zoujañs hag a spont, a lavare etrezo: Piv eta eo hemañ, a c'hourc'hemenn memes d'an avelioù ha d'an dour, hag e sentont outañ?
26 Jesus and his disciples arrived at the region near Gerasa, a [town] which [was on the eastern] side of Lake [Galilee].
Dont a rejont neuze da vro ar C'hadareniz, a zo dirak Galilea.
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.
Pa voe Jezuz diskennet d'an douar, e teuas a-raok dezhañ un den eus kêr, a oa dalc'het gant diaoulien pell a oa. Ne zouge ket a zilhad, ha ne chome ket en un ti, met er bezioù.
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]!”
Adalek ma welas Jezuz, e krias, hag ouzh en em deurel d'e dreid, e lavaras a vouezh uhel: Petra a zo etre me ha te, Jezuz, Mab an Doue Uhelañ-Meurbet? Me az ped, na boagn ket ac'hanon.
Rak Jezuz a c'hourc'hemenne d'ar spered hudur mont kuit eus an den-se; en em gemeret e oa anezhañ abaoe pell a oa; e eren a raed gant chadennoù hag e ziwall a raed gant hualoù, met eñ a dorre an ereoù, hag e oa kaset gant an diaoul el lec'hioù distro.
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.
Jezuz a c'houlennas outañ: Pe anv ac'h eus? Hag e respontas: Lejion. Rak kalz a ziaoulien a oa aet ennañ.
31 [The demons] kept begging [Jesus] that he would not command them to go into the deep place [where God punishes demons]. (Abyssos g12)
Int a bede anezhañ na c'hourc'hemennje ket dezho mont en donder. (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.
Bez' e oa eno ur vandenn vras a voc'h o peuriñ war ar menez; hag e pedent anezhañ d'o lezel da vont er moc'h-se; eñ o lezas da vont.
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.
An diaoulien eta o vezañ aet kuit eus an den, a yeas er moc'h, hag ar vandenn en em daolas eus al lec'h uhel-se er mor, hag a voe beuzet.
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.
Ar re o mesae, o welout ar pezh a oa erruet, a dec'has kuit da lavarout kement-se e kêr ha war ar maez.
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]).
Neuze an dud a zeuas evit gwelout ar pezh a oa c'hoarvezet. O vezañ deuet da gavout Jezuz, e kavjont an den ma oa aet kuit an diaoulien anezhañ, azezet ouzh treid Jezuz, gwisket hag en e skiant vat; hag e voent leuniet a spont.
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].
Ar re o devoa gwelet an traoù-se a lavaras dezho penaos e oa bet yac'haet an hini dalc'het gant an diaoulien.
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.
Holl dud bro ar C'hadareniz en pedas da bellaat diouto, rak kroget e oa ur spont vras enno. Mont a reas eta er vag evit distreiñ.
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,
An den ma oa aet kuit an diaoulien anezhañ, en pedas d'e lezel da vont gantañ. Met Jezuz a gasas anezhañ kuit, o lavarout:
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.
Distro da'z ti, ha lavar an traoù bras en deus Doue graet dit. Mont a reas eta kuit, oc'h embann dre holl gêr kement en devoa Jezuz graet en e geñver.
40 When [Jesus and the disciples] returned [to Capernaum], a crowd of people who had been waiting for him welcomed him.
Pa voe distroet, Jezuz a voe degemeret gant ur bobl vras, rak an holl a c'hortoze anezhañ.
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],
Ha setu, un den anvet Jairuz, hag a oa penn eus ar sinagogenn, a zeuas, hag oc'h en em deurel ouzh treid Jezuz, en pedas da zont en e di,
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.
rak en devoa ur verc'h nemeti, oadet a zaouzek vloaz pe war-dro, hag a oa o vont da vervel. Evel ma'z ae Jezuz di, e oa gwasket gant ar bobl.
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}.
Neuze ur wreg klañv, daouzek vloaz a oa, gant an diwadañ, hag he devoa dispignet he holl vadoù gant medisined, hep gallout bezañ yac'haet gant hini ebet,
44 She came behind [Jesus] and touched the edge of his robe [in order to be healed]. At once her bleeding stopped.
a dostaas outañ a-ziadreñv, hag a stokas ouzh bevenn e zilhad; raktal he diwadañ a baouezas.
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]!”
Ha Jezuz a lavaras: Piv en deus stoket ouzhin? Evel ma nac'he an holl kement-se, Pêr hag ar re a oa gantañ a lavaras dezhañ: Mestr, an dud a zo en-dro dit a wask ac'hanout, hag e lavarez: Piv en deus stoket ouzhin?
46 But Jesus said, “[I know that] someone [deliberately] touched me, [because] my power has healed someone [who touched me].”
Met Jezuz a lavaras: Unan bennak en deus stoket ouzhin, rak anavezet em eus e oa aet un nerzh er-maez ac'hanon.
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.
Neuze ar wreg, o welout ne oa ket bet kement-se kuzhet outañ, a zeuas en ur grenañ holl, hag oc'h en em deurel d'e dreid, e tisklêrias dirak ar bobl evit petra he devoa stoket outañ, ha penaos e oa bet yac'haet kerkent.
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].”
Jezuz a lavaras dezhi: Va merc'h, [kemer fiziañs], da feiz he deus da yac'haet; kae e peoc'h.
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]”
Evel ma komze c'hoazh, unan bennak eus ti penn ar sinagogenn a zeuas da lavarout dezhañ: Da verc'h a zo marv; na skuizh ket ar Mestr.
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.”
Met Jezuz, o vezañ e glevet, a lavaras da benn ar sinagogenn: Na'z pez ket aon, kred hepken, hag hi a vo yac'haet.
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.
Pa voe deuet en ti, ne lezas den da vont e-barzh, nemet Pêr, Yann ha Jakez, ha tad ha mamm ar plac'hig.
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]!”
An holl a ouele hag a hirvoude abalamour dezhi. Met eñ a lavaras: Na ouelit ket, n'eo ket marv, met kousket a ra.
53 The people laughed at him, because they knew that [the girl] was dead.
Hag int a rae goap outañ, oc'h anavezout e oa marv.
54 But [Jesus] took hold of her hand and called to her, saying, “Child, get up!”
Met, [o vezañ graet dezho holl mont er-maez, ] e kemeras he dorn, hag e krias: Bugel, sav!
55 At once her spirit returned [to her body] and she got up. Jesus immediately said, “Give her something to eat!”
He spered a zistroas, hag e savas kerkent; neuze e c'hourc'hemennas reiñ dezhi da zebriñ.
56 Her parents were amazed, but Jesus told them not to tell anyone [else yet] what had happened.
He c'herent a voe gwall souezhet; met eñ a c'hourc'hemennas dezho na lavarjent da zen ar pezh a oa c'hoarvezet.
