< Mark 6 >

1 He went out from there. He came into his own country, and his disciples followed him.
Le esia megbe la, Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dzo le nuto ma me yi Nazaret si nye ededu me.
2 When the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things?” and, “What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands?
Le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke dzi la, eyi ƒuƒoƒe la ɖafia nu, eye ame geɖe siwo se eƒe nufiafia la ƒe nu ku. Wobia be, “Afi ka ame sia xɔ nu siawo tsoe? Nunya ka tɔgbi wonae be wòte ŋu le nukunu siawo wɔm!
3 Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James, Joses, Judah, and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” So they were offended at him.
Alo menye ame siae nye atikpala la oa? Menye Maria ƒe viŋutsu si nɔviwoe nye Yakobo, Yosef, Yuda kple Simɔn, siwo le mía dome, eye nɔvia nyɔnuwo hã le mía dome oa?” Esia na eƒe nu ve dɔme na wo ŋutɔ.
4 Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house.”
Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Bubu menɔa nyagblɔɖila aɖeke ŋu le eya ŋutɔ ƒe dedu me, amewo dome kple eya ŋutɔ ƒe aƒe me o.”
5 He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.
Le ameawo ƒe dzimaxɔse ta la, mete ŋu wɔ nukunu gãwo le wo dome o, asi ko wòda ɖe dɔléla ʋɛ aɖewo dzi heyɔ dɔ wo.
6 He marveled because of their unbelief. He went around the villages teaching.
Ewɔ nuku na Yesu ŋutɔ be wo detɔwo mexɔ edzi se o, ale wòdzo ɖatsa le kɔƒewo me nɔ nu fiam amewo.
7 He called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
Yesu yɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo, eye wòdɔ wo eveve hena ŋusẽ wo be woanya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo do goe le amewo me.
8 He commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse,
Egblɔ na wo be, “Migatsɔ naneke ɖe asi hena mɔzɔzɔ o, negbe atizɔti ko. Migatsɔ nuɖuɖu, mɔzɔkotoku alo ga hã ɖe asi o.
9 but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics.
Migatsɔ afɔkpa eve alo awu eve teti hã o.
10 He said to them, “Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.
Midze aƒe ɖeka ko me le kɔƒe ɖe sia ɖe me; miganɔ tsatsam tso aƒe me yi aƒe me o.
11 Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them. Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”
Nenye be kɔƒe aɖe me tɔwo mexɔ mi alo ɖo to mi o la, miʋuʋu ke si lé ɖe afɔƒome na mi la ɖi, eye miadzo. Esia nye ɖase be miegblẽ teƒe la ɖi be nu sia nu si adzɔ ɖe edzi la nadzɔ faa.”
12 They went out and preached that people should repent.
Nusrɔ̃lawo dze mɔ henɔ nu xlɔ̃m ame sia ame si wodo goe le mɔa dzi la be wòatrɔ dzime.
13 They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick and healed them.
Wonya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo le amewo me, eye wosi ami na dɔnɔwo heda gbe le wo ŋu.
14 King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, “John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”
Fia Herod se Yesu ŋkɔ, elabena ame sia ame nɔ nu ƒom tso nukunu siwo katã wɔm wònɔ la ŋu. Fia la bu be Yohanes Mawutsidetanamelae gagbɔ agbe, elabena amewo le gbɔgblɔm be, “Yohanes Mawutsidetanamelae fɔ, eya ta wòte ŋu le nukunu siawo wɔm ɖo.”
15 But others said, “He is Elijah.” Others said, “He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets.”
Ame aɖewo hã bu be Yesue nye Eliya, Mawu ƒe Nyagblɔɖila xoxoawo dometɔ ɖeka, si gava dzɔ, eye ɖewo hã bu be Yesue nye Mawu ƒe Gbeƒãɖela yeye si si ŋusẽ le abe esiwo nɔ anyi va yi la ene.
16 But Herod, when he heard this, said, “This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead.”
Ke Herod ya gblɔ kple kakaɖedzi be, “Yohanes, ame si nu metso ta le la kokokoe fɔ tso yɔ me.”
17 For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her.
Herod sia nye ame si dɔ asrafowo be woalé Yohanes de gaxɔ me. Ewɔ esia le Herod, nɔvia Filipo srɔ̃ si wòxɔ la ta,
18 For John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
elabena Yohanes gblɔ na Herod be, “Se meɖe mɔ be nàxɔ nɔviwò srɔ̃ aɖe o.”
19 Herodias set herself against him and desired to kill him, but she couldn’t,
Le esia ta Herod di vevie be woawu Yohanes, gake fia la meda asi ɖe ɖoɖo sia dzi o,
20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.
elabena Herod tsɔ bubu geɖe na Yohanes le eƒe ame ɖɔʋu kple ame kɔkɔenyenye ta, eya ta etsɔe de eya ŋutɔ ƒe dzikpɔkpɔ te. Nenye be Herod kple Yohanes wole dze ɖom la, nya siwo Yohanes gblɔna la ɖea fu na Herod ƒe susu ŋutɔ, gake zi geɖe la, edina kokoko be yeaɖo dze kplii.
21 Then a convenient day came when Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.
Mlɔeba la, Herod va kpɔ mɔnu aɖe si dzi wòato awu Yohanes. Herod ƒe dzigbezã ɖo, eye wòɖo kplɔ̃ na eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo, ame siwo nye asrafowo ƒe amegãwo kple ame ŋkuta, siwo tso Galilea la le fiasã la me.
22 When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, “Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”
Eva dzɔ be Herod ƒe vinyɔnu va ɖu ɣe na ame kpekpeawo. Eƒe ɣeɖuɖu do dzidzɔ na ame sia ame ŋutɔ. Le esia ta fia la gblɔ na nyɔnuvi la be, “Bia nu sia nu si nèdi tso asinye la, mana wò.”
23 He swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.”
Eka atam nɛ be, “Nu sia nu si nàbia la, matsɔe na wò; nenye nye fiaɖuƒe la ƒe afã nèbia hã la, mana wò.”
24 She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” She said, “The head of John the Baptizer.”
Nyɔnuvi la yi dadaa gbɔ ɖagblɔ nya la nɛ. Dadaa gblɔ nɛ be, “Yi nàbia Yohanes Mawutsidetanamela ƒe ta.”
25 She came in immediately with haste to the king and requested, “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptizer on a platter.”
Nyɔnuvi la gaɖe abla va fia la gbɔ va gblɔ nɛ be, “Mele Yohanes Mawutsidetanamela ƒe ta dim fifi laa, nenɔ agba me woatsɔ vɛ nam.”
26 The king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths and of his dinner guests, he didn’t wish to refuse her.
Nya sia ve fia la ŋutɔ, gake anye ŋukpe be wòada le atam si wòka la dzi le eƒe ame kpekpeawo ŋkume,
27 Immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard and commanded to bring John’s head; and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
eya ta eɖo asrafo si le eŋu dzɔm la ɖa be wòayi aɖatso ta le Yohanes nu atsɔ vɛ na ye. Asrafo la yi ɖatso ta le Yohanes nu le gaxɔ la me
28 and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young lady; and the young lady gave it to her mother.
hetsɔ de agba me vɛ na nyɔnuvi la, eye wòtsɔe yi na dadaa.
29 When his disciples heard this, they came and took up his corpse and laid it in a tomb.
Esi Yohanes ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo se nu si dzɔ la, woyi ɖaxɔ eƒe kukua ɖaɖi.
30 The apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught.
Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo trɔ tso woƒe mɔzɔzɔ la gbɔ, eye wogblɔ nu siwo katã wowɔ, nya siwo katã wogblɔ kple teƒe siwo katã wode la nɛ.
31 He said to them, “Come away into a deserted place, and rest awhile.” For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
Yesu se nya siawo keŋ, eye wòɖo aɖaŋu na wo be, “Mina míadzo le amehawo dome vie aɖadi teƒe aɖe anɔ adzudzɔ sẽe.” Elabena ame geɖewo ŋutɔ nɔ wo gbɔ vam henɔ dzodzom, ale be ɣeyiɣi meli woaɖu nu o.
32 They went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves.
Ale wodzo le teƒe sia kple ʋu heyi teƒe aɖe si zi ɖoɖoe wu,
33 They saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to him.
gake ame geɖewo gakpɔ wo xoxo, wonya afi si yim wonɔ, eya ta woƒu du dze ŋgɔ na wo, zɔ ƒua nu yi ɖakpe wo esi woɖi le ʋu la me teti ko.
34 Jesus came out, saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
Abe ale si wònɔna ɖaa ene la, ameha gã aɖe gava kpe Yesu le afi sia. Ameawo ƒe nu wɔ nublanui nɛ ŋutɔ, elabena wole abe alẽha si kplɔla meli na o la ene. Efia nu geɖe siwo wòle be woanya la wo.
35 When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him and said, “This place is deserted, and it is late in the day.
Le ɣetrɔ me la, eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va gblɔ nɛ be, “Teƒe sia tso abo, evɔ zã hã le dodom,
36 Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat.”
eya ta gblɔ na ameawo be woayi kɔƒe kple agble siwo te ɖe afi sia ŋu la me aɖadi nuɖuɖu na wo ɖokuiwo.”
37 But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?”
Gake Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Miawo mina nuɖuɖu wo.” Nusrɔ̃lawo biae be, “Nu ka míana wo? Hafi woate ŋu ana nuɖuɖu ameha sia la, ehiã ga home gã aɖe.”
38 He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go see.” When they knew, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
Yesu bia wo be, “Nuɖuɖu agbɔsɔsɔ ka sinue le mia si? Miyi miakpɔe ɖa.” Woyi gbɔ va gblɔ nɛ be, “Abolo atɔ̃ kple tɔmelã meme eve koe li.”
39 He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass.
Yesu gblɔ na wo be woana ameawo nanɔ anyi ɖe ƒuƒoƒowo me le gbe dama la dzi.
40 They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.
Ale ameawo nɔ anyi ɖe hatsotso alafawo kple blaatɔ̃wo me.
41 He took the five loaves and the two fish; and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his disciples to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them all.
Azɔ Yesu tsɔ abolo atɔ̃ la kple tɔmelã meme eve la, eye wòwu mo dzi, heda akpe ɖe wo ta. Eŋe aboloawo me, eye wòtsɔ wo kple tɔmelãwo na nusrɔ̃la ɖe sia ɖe be wòaɖo ameawo ƒe akɔme.
42 They all ate and were filled.
Ameawo ɖu nu la ale gbegbe be woɖi ƒo wu ale si hiã,
43 They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish.
eye esi nusrɔ̃lawo ƒo ƒu abolo kple tɔmelã kakɛ siwo susɔ la, woyɔ kusi wuieve.
44 Those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
Ke ŋutsu siwo ɖu nua la ƒe xexlẽme anɔ akpe atɔ̃.
45 Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the multitude away.
Le nuɖuɖu la nana ameawo vɔ megbe teti ko la, Yesu gblɔ na eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be woage ɖe ʋu la me, akui atso ƒu la ayi Betsaida afi si yeava tu wo le emegbe. Ebe ye ŋutɔ yeado megbe ado mɔ ameha la woayi aƒe me.
46 After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.
Le esia megbe la, Yesu yi togbɛ aɖe dzi be yeado gbe ɖa.
47 When evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on the land.
Le zã me esi tɔdziʋua ɖo ƒu la ƒe titina la, eya ɖeka susɔ ɖe gota.
48 Seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have passed by them,
Yesu ɖeka nɔ godzi kpɔ wo ɖa. Ekpɔ be ya sesẽ si nɔ ƒoƒom la nɔ fu ɖem na wo ale gbegbe be ʋua kuku sesẽ na wo ŋutɔ. Anɔ abe fɔŋli ga etɔ̃ me ene la, Yesu zɔ ƒu la dzi ɖo ta wo gbɔ. Ewɔ abe ɖe wòbe yeazɔ to wo ŋu ene,
49 but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;
gake wo katã wokpɔe wònɔ zɔzɔm le ƒu la dzi, eya ta wodo vɔvɔ̃ɣli, elabena wobu be ŋɔlie.
50 for they all saw him and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them and said to them, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”
Gake eƒo nu gblɔ na wo enumake be, “Miaƒe dzi nedze eme. Nyee, migavɔ̃ o.”
51 He got into the boat with them; and the wind ceased, and they were very amazed among themselves, and marveled;
Azɔ ege ɖe ʋu la me, eye yaƒoƒo la tɔ. Nusrɔ̃lawo katã ƒe nu ku ŋutɔ,
52 for they hadn’t understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
elabena va se ɖe fifia la, womese Yesu ƒe wɔnawo gɔme o. Gawu la, womese nukunu gã si wòwɔ le ɣetrɔ ma hã gɔme o, elabena woƒe dzi me sẽ.
53 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored to the shore.
Wotso ƒu la va ɖi go ɖe Genesaretnyigba dzi, eye wotɔ ʋu la.
54 When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,
Ke esi wodo go le eme la, ame siwo nɔ afi ma la kpɔ Yesu dze sii enumake,
55 and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick on their mats to where they heard he was.
eya ta woƒu du ɖagblɔe na ame siwo katã le nuto la me be Yesu va ɖo. Ale amewo kɔ dɔnɔwo ɖe abawo dzi va egbɔ.
56 Wherever he entered—into villages, or into cities, or into the country—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched him were made well.
Afi sia afi si Yesu yi le kɔƒewo, duwo kple agbletawo la, wokɔa dɔnɔwo vaa asiwo kple mɔwo toe, eye woɖea kuku nɛ be woaka asi eƒe awu pɛ ko ŋu. Le nyateƒe me la, ame siwo katã ka asi eŋu ko la ƒe lãme sẽna.
