Mark 9
1 And he said to them, 'Verily I say to you, That there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death till they see the reign of God having come in power.'
Yesu yi edzi gblɔ na eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Nyateƒe gblɔm mele na mi be, mia dometɔ aɖewo, siwo le afi sia la anɔ agbe va se ɖe esime mawufiaɖuƒe la nava le ŋusẽ gã aɖe me.”
2 And after six days doth Jesus take Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up to a high mount by themselves, alone, and he was transfigured before them,
Le ŋkeke ade megbe la, Yesu kplɔ Petro, Yakobo kple Yohanes woyi to kɔkɔ aɖe tame. Ame aɖeke menɔ teƒe sia o. Esi woɖo afi ma teti ko la, Yesu ƒe mo de asi keklẽ me kple ŋutikɔkɔe,
3 and his garments became glittering, white exceedingly, as snow, so as a fuller upon the earth is not able to whiten [them].
eye eƒe awu si wòdo la trɔ fu tititi. Awu la fu ale gbegbe be, naneke mele xexea me ate ŋu awɔe wòafu nenema o.
4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
Azɔ Eliya kple Mose wova do ɖe Yesu gbɔ, wode asi dzeɖoɖo me kplii.
5 And Peter answering saith to Jesus, 'Rabbi, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, for thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one:'
Petro gblɔ na Yesu be, “Nufiala, enyo na mí be míanɔ afi sia. Mína míatu agbadɔ etɔ̃, ɖeka na wò, ɖeka na Mose, eye ɖeka na Eliya.”
6 for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid.
(Egblɔ esia, elabena menya nu si wòagblɔ o, wovɔ̃ ŋutɔ.)
7 And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, 'This is My Son — the Beloved, hear ye him;'
Esi Petro nɔ nya siawo gblɔm la, lilikpo aɖe va tsyɔ wo dzi, hexe ɣe la ŋkume. Gbe aɖe ɖi tso lilikpo la me be, “Esia nye vinye lɔlɔ̃a. Miɖo toe.”
8 and suddenly, having looked around, they saw no one any more, but Jesus only with themselves.
Kasia, nusrɔ̃la etɔ̃awo megakpɔ ame aɖeke le wo gbɔ o, negbe Yesu ɖeka ko, elabena Mose kple Eliya wodzo.
9 And as they are coming down from the mount, he charged them that they may declare to no one the things that they saw, except when the Son of Man may rise out of the dead;
Esi wonɔ ɖiɖim tso toa dzi gbɔna la, Yesu de se na nusrɔ̃lawo vevie be womegagblɔ nu si teƒe wokpɔ la na ame aɖeke o, negbe le Amegbetɔ Vi la ƒe tsitretsitsi tso ame kukuwo dome megbe ko.
10 and the thing they kept to themselves, questioning together what the rising out of the dead is.
Ale nusrɔ̃lawo ɣla nya siawo ɖe woƒe dziwo me, gake zi geɖe la, woƒoa nu le eŋu, eye wobua ta me vevie le nu si tututu Yesu gblɔna be, “Tsitretsitsi tso ame kukuwo dome” la ŋu.
11 And they were questioning him, saying, that the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first.
Wobiae be, “Nu ka ta agbalẽfialawo nɔa gbɔgblɔm be ele be Eliya nava gbã ɖo?”
12 And he answering said to them, 'Elijah indeed, having come first, doth restore all things; and how hath it been written concerning the Son of Man, that many things he may suffer, and be set at nought?
Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Le nyateƒe me la, Eliya va xoxo, eye wòɖɔ nuwo katã ɖo. Azɔ nu ka ta woŋlɔe ɖi le Amegbetɔ Vi la ŋu be, akpe fu geɖe, eye woagbe nu le egbɔ ɖo?
13 But I say to you, That also Elijah hath come, and they did to him what they willed, as it hath been written of him.'
Ke mele egblɔm na mi be, Eliya va, wowɔ nu sia nu si wodi be yewoawɔe la abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖi la ene.”
14 And having come unto the disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them,
Esi wova ɖo toa te la, wokpɔ be ameha gã aɖe ƒo xlã nusrɔ̃la mamlɛawo, eye Yudatɔwo ƒe agbalẽfialawo nɔ nya hem kpli wo.
15 and immediately, all the multitude having seen him, were amazed, and running near, were saluting him.
Esi ameha la kpɔ Yesu la, vɔvɔ̃ ɖo wo, ke woƒu du yi egbɔ be yewoado gbe nɛ.
16 And he questioned the scribes, 'What dispute ye with them?'
Yesu bia wo be, “Nya ka tututu hem miele?”
17 and one out of the multitude answering said, 'Teacher, I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit;
Ame ɖeka le ameawo dome do ɣli gblɔ be, “Nufiala meɖe kuku, vinyee mekplɔ vɛ na wò be nàda gbe le eŋu nam. Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ aɖe le eme si wɔe be mete ŋu ƒoa nu o.
18 and wherever it doth seize him, it doth tear him, and he foameth, and gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away; and I spake to thy disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not able.'
Nyateƒe ne gbɔgbɔ baɖa sia dze edzi la, ekɔnɛ xlãna ɖe anyi ŋɔdzitɔe, eye futukpɔ dona le enu, eɖua aɖukli, eye eƒe lãme liana kakoo. Meɖe kuku na wò nusrɔ̃lawo be woanya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la le eme, gake womete ŋui o.”
19 And he answering him, said, 'O generation unbelieving, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I suffer you? bring him unto me;'
Yesu trɔ ɖe nusrɔ̃lawo ŋu hegblɔ na wo be, “O! Mi xɔse ʋɛtɔ siawo, ŋkeke neni wòle be manɔ anyi kpli mi hafi miaxɔ dzinye ase? Aleke gbegbe magbɔ dzi ɖi na mi? Mikplɔ ɖevi la vɛ nam.”
20 and they brought him unto him, and he having seen him, immediately the spirit tare him, and he, having fallen upon the earth, was wallowing — foaming.
Ale wokplɔ ɖevi la yi na Yesu, gake kaka wòakpɔ Yesu ko la, gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la xlãe ɖe anyigba sesĩe; eƒo dablibɛ le anyigba, eye futukpɔ hã nɔ dodom le enu.
21 And he questioned his father, 'How long time is it since this came to him?' and he said, 'From childhood,
Yesu bia ɖevia fofo be, “Tso ɣe ka ɣi ke wòle dɔ sia lém?” Fofoa ɖo eŋu be, “Tso keke eƒe ɖevime ke.
22 and many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if thou art able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.'
Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ sia nana wòdzea dzo me alo tsi me, eye wòdi kokoko be yeawui. Ao! Meɖe kuku kpɔ míaƒe nublanui, ne àte ŋui la, nàwɔ nane tso eŋuti na mí.”
23 And Jesus said to him, 'If thou art able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing;'
Yesu gabiae be, “Ɖe nègblɔ be ne mate ŋuia? Nu sia nu wɔwɔ le bɔbɔe ne èxɔe se ko.”
24 and immediately the father of the child, having cried out, with tears said, 'I believe, sir; be helping mine unbelief.'
Fofoa ɖo eŋu enumake be, “Xɔse le asinye. Ao, ve nunye be nye xɔse sia nadzi ɖe edzi!”
25 Jesus having seen that a multitude doth run together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, 'Spirit — dumb and deaf — I charge thee, come forth out of him, and no more thou mayest enter into him;'
Yesu kpɔ be ameha la nɔ agbɔ sɔm ɖe edzi, eya ta eɖe gbe na gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la be, “Gbɔgbɔ maƒonu, tokunɔ gbɔgbɔ, meɖe gbe na wò be, nàdo go le ɖevi sia me fifi laa, mèkpɔ mɔ agage ɖe eme azɔ o.”
26 and having cried, and rent him much, it came forth, and he became as dead, so that many said that he was dead,
Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la do ɣli sesĩe, ganyama ɖevi la nublanuitɔe, hedo go le eme. Azɔ ɖevi la fa miamiamia ɖe anyigba, heli kpoo abe ɖe wòku ene. Ale ameawo katã gblɔ be eku.
27 but Jesus, having taken him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.
Ke Yesu lé eƒe alɔnu, na wòtsi tsitre, eye nukutɔe la, eƒe lãme sẽ.
28 And he having come into the house, his disciples were questioning him by himself — 'Why were we not able to cast it forth?'
Azɔ esi Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo ɖeɖe wonɔ aƒe si me wodze la, nusrɔ̃lawo biae be, “Nu ka ta míawo míete ŋu nya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la do goe o ɖo?”
29 And he said to them, 'This kind is able to come forth with nothing except with prayer and fasting.'
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Nu siawo ƒomevi wɔwɔ hiã gbedodoɖa kple nutsitsidɔ.”
30 And having gone forth thence, they were passing through Galilee, and he did not wish that any may know,
Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dzo le afi ma, eye woɖo ta Galilea nuto me. Yesu dze agbagba vevie be amewo nagakpɔ ye o,
31 for he was teaching his disciples, and he said to them, 'The Son of Man is being delivered to the hands of men, and they shall kill him, and having been killed the third day he shall rise,'
edi be yeakpɔ ɣeyiɣi geɖe afia nu yeƒe nusrɔ̃lawo. Zi geɖe ne ele nu fiam wo la, egblɔna na wo be, “Woade Amegbetɔ Vi la asi, woawui, gake le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe la, magatsi tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome.”
32 but they were not understanding the saying, and they were afraid to question him.
Nusrɔ̃lawo mete ŋu se nya siawo gɔme o, gake ale si woawɔ abiae la hã zu dɔ; wonɔ vɔvɔ̃m.
33 And he came to Capernaum, and being in the house, he was questioning them, 'What were ye reasoning in the way among yourselves?'
Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va ɖo Kapernaum. Esi wova ɖo aƒe si me wodze me la, Yesu bia nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Esi míenɔ mɔa dzi gbɔna ɖe, nya ka ʋlim mienɔ?”
34 and they were silent, for with one another they did reason in the way who is greater;
Nyateƒe, nya sia ŋu ɖoɖo sesẽ na nusrɔ̃lawo, elabena nya si hem wonɔ la ku ɖe ame si nye wo katã ƒe amegã la ŋu.
35 and having sat down he called the twelve, and he saith to them, 'If any doth will to be first, he shall be last of all, and minister of all.'
Yesu nɔ anyi, yɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo ƒo ƒu, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Ame si di be yeanye mi katã ƒe amegã la, ele nɛ be wòanye suetɔ kekeake gbã, ɛ̃, ele be wòanye mi katã ƒe subɔla!”
36 And having taken a child, he set him in the midst of them, and having taken him in his arms, said to them,
Azɔ ekplɔ ɖevi sue aɖe va wo titinae, kɔe ɖe eƒe abɔwo dome, eye wògblɔ na wo be,
37 'Whoever may receive one of such children in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth not receive me, but Him who sent me.'
“Ame si axɔ ɖevi sue aɖe abe esia ene le nye ŋkɔ me la, nyee nye ema wòxɔ, eye ame si axɔm la, menye nyee wòxɔ o, ke boŋ Fofonye si dɔm lae wòxɔ!”
38 And John did answer him, saying, 'Teacher, we saw a certain one in thy name casting out demons, who doth not follow us, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow us.'
Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka si woyɔna be Yohanes la gblɔ nɛ be, “Nufiala, míekpɔ ame aɖe si tsɔ wò ŋkɔ nɔ gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo nyamee le amewo me. Ale míegbe nɛ be megawɔe o, elabena menye mía dometɔ ɖeka wònye o.”
39 And Jesus said, 'Forbid him not, for there is no one who shall do a mighty work in my name, and shall be able readily to speak evil of me:
Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Migagbe nɛ o, elabena ame si le nukunu aɖe wɔm le nye ŋkɔ dzi la, mate ŋu anye nye futɔ o.
40 for he who is not against us is for us;
Ame si metsi tsitre ɖe mía ŋu o la, ele míaƒe akpa dzi.
41 for whoever may give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because ye are Christ's, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward;
Yesu yi edzi be, ‘Vavã mele egblɔm na mi bena, ne ame aɖe na tsi kplu ɖeka mi be miano elabena mienye Kristo tɔ la, ame sia mabu fetu si wòaxɔ la o.’
42 and whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea.
“Gake ne ame aɖe awɔe be ɖevi sue siawo dometɔ ɖeka nabu xɔse si le esi ɖe ŋunye la, ne wotsi kpe gã aɖe ɖe kɔ nɛ hekɔe ƒu gbe ɖe atsiaƒu me la, anyo nɛ wu sãa.
43 'And if thy hand may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee maimed to enter into the life, than having the two hands, to go away to the gehenna, to the fire — the unquenchable — (Geenna g1067)
Ne wò asi nana be nèwɔa nu vɔ̃ la, lãe ɖa. Enyo na wò be nàge ɖe mawufiaɖuƒe la me kple asikpo wu be asi eve nanɔ ŋuwò nàyi dzomavɔʋe me, afi si dzo metsina le o. [ (Geenna g1067)
44 where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.
Afi si, “‘woƒe nye mekuna le o, eye dzo la hã metsina le o.]’
45 'And if thy foot may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into the life lame, than having the two feet to be cast to the gehenna, to the fire — the unquenchable — (Geenna g1067)
Ne wò afɔ nana be nèwɔa nu vɔ̃ la, lãe ɖa. Enyo na wò be nàge ɖe agbe la me kple afɔkpo wu esi afɔ eve nanɔ asiwò, woakɔ wò aƒu gbe ɖe dzomavɔʋe la me. [ (Geenna g1067)
46 where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.
Afi si, “‘woƒe nye mekuna le o, eye dzo la hã metsina le o.]’
47 And if thine eye may cause thee to stumble, cast it out; it is better for thee one-eyed to enter into the reign of God, than having two eyes, to be cast to the gehenna of the fire — (Geenna g1067)
Nenye be wò ŋkue nana be nèwɔa nu vɔ̃ la, hoe le etome. Enyo na wò be nàyi mawufiaɖuƒe la me kple ŋku ɖeka wu be nàyi dzomavɔʋe la me kple ŋku eve, (Geenna g1067)
48 where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched;
afi si, “‘woƒe nyẽ mekuna le o, eye dzo la hã metsina le o.’
49 for every one with fire shall be salted, and every sacrifice with salt shall be salted.
Eye woatsɔ dzo bibi ade dze ame sia ame wòatee.”
50 The salt [is] good, but if the salt may become saltless, in what will ye season [it]? Have in yourselves salt, and have peace in one another.'
Yesu wu eƒe nuƒo la nu be, “Dze nye nu vevi aɖe, gake nenye be dze bu eƒe vivi la, womagate ŋu atsɔe ade naneke o; meganyo na naneke o, migabu vivi si le mia me la o! Minɔ anyi kple amewo katã le ŋutifafa me.”
