Luka 6
1 Gbe ɖeka le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkekea dzi esi Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo zɔ to bligble aɖewo me va yina la, nusrɔ̃lawo ŋe bli aɖewo, klẽ tsro le wo ŋu henɔ ɖuɖum.
And it came to pass, on a Sabbath, as He is going through the grainfields, that His disciples were plucking the ears, and were eating, rubbing with the hands,
2 Farisitɔ aɖewo nɔ afi ma kpɔ wo, eye wogblɔ na Yesu be, “Nu ka ta miewɔ nu si mele se nu be woawɔ le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke dzi o mahã?”
and certain of the Pharisees said to them, “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbaths?”
3 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Alo miexlẽ nu tso nu si David wɔ esi dɔ wu eya kple eŋutimewo ŋu oa?
And Jesus answering said to them, “Did you not read even this that David did when he hungered, himself and those who are with him,
4 Eyi ɖe Mawu ƒe aƒe la me, eye wòtsɔ abolo tɔxɛ si wotsɔ ɖo Mawu ŋkume la, eye wòɖui, togbɔ be mele se nu be ame aɖeke naɖu abolo sia o negbe nunɔlawo ko.”
how he went into the house of God, and took the Bread of the Presentation, and ate, and gave also to those with him, which it is not lawful to eat, except only to the priests?”
5 Yesu gblɔ kpe ɖe eŋu be, “Nye Amegbetɔ Vi lae nye Aƒetɔ na Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la gɔ̃ hã.”
And He said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath.”
6 Le Dzudzɔgbe bubu gbe esi wònɔ nu fiam le ƒuƒoƒe la, ekpɔ ame aɖe si tsitsi lé asi na la le afi ma.
And it came to pass also, on another Sabbath, that He goes into the synagogue, and teaches, and there was there a man, and his right hand was withered,
7 Esi wònye Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke dzie ta la, agbalẽfialawo kple Farisitɔwo ɖe ŋku ɖe edzi gãa henɔ ekpɔm be ada gbe le amea ŋu le ŋkekea dzi hã. Wonɔ ŋku lém ɖe eŋu elabena wodi be wòawɔ vodada aɖe be yewoatsɔ nya ɖe eŋu.
and the scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him, if on the Sabbath He will heal, that they might find an accusation against Him.
8 Yesu nya nu si bum ame siawo nɔ xoxoxo, gake egblɔ na ŋutsua be, “Tso va nɔ tsitre ɖe afii be ame sia ame nakpɔ wò.” Ŋutsu la tso ɖe tsitrenu abe ale si wògblɔ nɛ ene.
And He Himself had known their reasonings and said to the man having the withered hand, “Rise, and stand in the midst”; and he having risen, stood.
9 Azɔ Yesu trɔ ɖe Farisitɔwo kple agbalẽfialawo gbɔ, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Biabia aɖe le asinye na mi. Ɖe woɖe mɔ be woawɔ nyui le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkekea dzi loo alo woawɔ vɔ̃a? Enyo be woaxɔ ame ɖe agbe loo alo woawuia?”
Then Jesus said to them, “I will question you something: is it lawful on the Sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? To save life or to kill?”
10 Etsa ŋku le wo katã dzi ɖekaɖeka, eye wògblɔ na ŋutsua be, “Dzɔ wò asi.” Edzɔ asia kasia eƒe asi gaɖɔ ɖo.
And having looked around on them all, He said to the man, “Stretch forth your hand”; and he did so, and his hand was restored whole as the other;
11 Nuwɔna sia do dziku na Yesu ƒe futɔwo ŋutɔ. Wode asi ɖoɖowɔwɔ me le nu si woate ŋu awɔ Yesu la ŋuti.
and they were filled with madness, and were speaking with one another what they might do to Jesus.
12 Le nu siawo megbe la, Yesu yi to aɖe dzi gbe ɖeka be yeado gbe ɖa. Edo gbe ɖa na Mawu zã blibo katã.
And it came to pass in those days, He went forth to the mountain to pray, and was passing the night in the prayer of God,
13 Esi ŋu ke la, eyɔ eyomenɔlawo katã ƒo ƒui, eye wòtia ame wuieve le wo dome bena woanye yeƒe nusrɔ̃lawo. Ame siawoe woyɔ be apostolowo.
and when it became day, He called near His disciples, also having chosen twelve from them, whom He also named apostles:
14 Ameawo ƒe ŋkɔwoe nye, Simɔn (ame si wòna ŋkɔe be Petro), Andrea si nye Simɔn nɔviŋutsu, Yakobo, Yohanes, Filipo, Bartolomeo,
Simon, whom He also named Peter, and his brother Andrew, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
15 Mateo, Toma, Yakobo si nye Alfeo vi, Simɔn ame si nye Zelote dunyaheha sesẽ aɖe me nɔla;
Matthew and Thomas, James of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zealot,
16 Yuda si nye Yakobo vi, kple Yuda Iskariɔt ame si va zu yomemɔfiala.
Judas of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also became betrayer.
17 Esi wòɖi tso toa dzi la, nusrɔ̃lawo kple eyomenɔlawo va ƒo ƒu ɖe Yesu ŋuti le gbadzaƒe aɖe. Ameha gã aɖe hã va ɖe to ɖe wo, amewo tso Yudea nutowo me katã kple Yerusalem. Ɖewo tso keke Sidon kple Tiro ƒutaduwo me ke
And having come down with them, He stood on a level spot; and a crowd of His disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judea, and Jerusalem, and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon,
18 va be yewoaɖo toe alo be wòada gbe le yewo ŋu. Gbe ma gbe la, enya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ geɖewo le amewo me.
who came to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, [gathered]. And those harassed by unclean spirits [also gathered] and were healed.
19 Ame geɖewo ŋutɔ nɔ didim be yewoaka asi eŋu, elabena ŋusẽ do go tso eme, eye wòda gbe le wo katã ŋu.
And all the multitude were seeking to touch Him, because power was going forth from Him, and He was healing all.
20 Azɔ etrɔ ɖe eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo gbɔ hegblɔ na wo be, “Dzidzɔ gã ŋutɔ le mi ame siwo nye ame dahewo la lalalm, elabena miawo tɔe nye mawufiaɖuƒe la.
And He, having lifted up His eyes to His disciples, said: “Blessed the poor—because yours is the Kingdom of God.
21 Dzidzɔ gã ŋutɔ le mi ame siwo wum dɔ le la lalam, elabena miawoe aɖi ƒo. Dzidzɔ gã ŋutɔ le mi ame siwo le avi fam fifia la lalam, elabena ɣeyiɣi gbɔna esi miava ko nu.
Blessed those hungering now—because you will be filled. Blessed those weeping now—because you will laugh.
22 Dzidzɔ gã ŋutɔ le mia lalam, ne amewo lé fu mi, ɖe mi le woƒe ha me, eye wodzu mi, heƒo ɖi miaƒe ŋkɔ ɖe Amegbetɔ Vi la ta!
Blessed are you when men will hate you, and when they will separate you, and will reproach, and will cast forth your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake—
23 “Dzi nedzɔ mi, eye mitso aseye, elabena fetu nyui le mia lalam le dziƒo. Alea tututue wo fofowo wɔ ɖe nyagblɔɖila siwo do ŋgɔ na mi la hã ŋuti.
rejoice in that day, and leap, for behold, your reward [is] great in Heaven, for according to these things were their fathers doing to the prophets.
24 “Ao, baba na mi kesinɔtɔwo, elabena wokpɔ dzidzɔ le anyigba sia dzi xoxo.
But woe to you—the rich, because you have gotten your comfort.
25 Babaa na mi ame siwo ƒe ƒodo yɔ, elabena dɔwuame sesẽ aɖe le ŋgɔ na wo gbɔna.
Woe to you who have been filled—because you will hunger. Woe to you who are laughing now—because you will mourn and weep.
26 Woƒe nukoko ɖe yame fifia ava zu konyifafa na wo. Babaa na mi ame siwo ŋu amewo aƒo nu nyui le, elabena nenema kee wo fofowo wɔ na aʋatsonyagblɔɖilawo.
Woe to you when all men will speak well of you—for according to these things were their fathers doing to false prophets.
27 “Ke mi ame siwo le to ɖom la, mele egblɔm na mi be: Milɔ̃ miaƒe futɔwo, eye miawɔ nyui na ame siwo lé fu mi la.
But I say to you who are hearing, love your enemies, do good to those hating you,
28 Miyra ame siwo ƒo fi de mi la, eye mido gbe ɖa ɖe ame siwo wɔa fu mi la ta.
bless those cursing you, pray for those maligning you;
29 “Nenye be ame aɖe ƒo wò tome ɖeka la, trɔ evelia hã nɛ wòaƒo! Nenye be ame aɖe tsɔ wò dziwui la, mègagbe wò awutewuitsɔtsɔ nɛ o.
and to him striking you on the cheek, give also the other, and from him taking away from you the mantle, also the coat you may not keep back.
30 Ne nu le asiwò, eye ame aɖe bia wò la, nae eye mègabia be netrɔe vɛ na ye o.
And to everyone who is asking of you, be giving; and from him who is taking away your goods, do not be asking again;
31 Ale si tututu nèdina be amewo newɔ na ye la, wò hã wɔ na wo nenema.
and as you wish that men may do to you, do also to them in like manner;
32 “Ne mielɔ̃ mia lɔ̃lawo ɖeɖe ko ɖe, miebui be miewɔ nanea? Ame siwo nye nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo hã lɔ̃a wo xɔlɔ̃wo.
and—if you love those loving you, what grace is it to you? For also the sinful love those loving them;
33 Ne miewɔa dɔmenyo na ame siwo wɔa dɔmenyo na mi ko ɖe, akpedada kae li na mi? Nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo gɔ̃ hã wɔna nenema!
and if you do good to those doing good to you, what grace is it to you? For also the sinful do the same;
34 Ne miedoa ga na ame siwo miele mɔ kpɔm na be woagaxee na mi emegbe ɖe, nu nyui kae wònye miewɔ? Nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔla akuakuawo hã doa nu na wo tɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔlawo be yewoaxɔ nenema ke emegbe.
and if you lend [to those] of whom you hope to receive back, what grace is it to you? For also the sinful lend to sinners—that they may receive again as much.
35 “Milɔ̃ miaƒe ketɔwo, eye miwɔ dɔmenyo na wo. Mido nu na wo, eye migakpɔ mɔ na exɔxɔ o. Ne miewɔ esia la, ekema miaƒe fetu asɔ gbɔ le dziƒo, eye mianye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe viwo elabena eya ŋutɔ nyoa dɔme na akpemadalawo kple tagbɔ sesẽ tɔwo hã.
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Highest, because He is kind to the ungracious and evil;
36 “Mizu nublanuikpɔlawo abe ale si mia Fofo hã nye nublanuikpɔla ene.
be therefore merciful, as also your Father is merciful.
37 “Migadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ame aɖeke, eye Mawu hã nadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu mi o. Migabu fɔ ame aɖeke, eye Mawu hã nabu fɔ mi o. Mitsɔ amewo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ke wo, eye Mawu hã natsɔ miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ake mi.
And do not judge, and you may not be judged; do not condemn, and you may not be condemned; release, and you will be released.
38 Mina nu, eye woana nu miawo hã. Nu siwo katã miena la, woatrɔ wo vɛ na mi woasɔ gbɔ agbã go sãa wu esi sinu miena, eye woatsɔe aɖo akɔ na mi. Dzidzenu si mietsɔ dzidze nui na amewo la, eya kee woatsɔ dzidze nui na miawo hã.”
Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed, and shaken, and running over, they will give into your bosom; for with that measure with which you measure, it will be measured to you again.”
39 Yesu yi edzi do lo sia na wo be, “Ɖe ŋkugbãtɔ ate ŋu akplɔ ŋkuagbãtɔa? Ɖe wo kple eve la mage adze do me oa?
And He spoke an allegory to them, “Is blind able to lead blind? Will they not both fall into a pit?
40 Nusrɔ̃la mewua eƒe nufiala o. Ke ame sia ame si xɔ hehe nyuitɔ la anɔ ko abe eƒe nufiala ene.
A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone perfected will be as his teacher.
41 “Nu ka ta nèkpɔa ati fefi si le nɔviwò ƒe ŋku dzi, gake mèkpɔa atikpo si le wò ŋutɔ wò ŋku dzi o mahã?
And why do you behold the speck that is in your brother’s eye, and do not consider the beam that [is] in your own eye?
42 Aleke wɔ nàgblɔ na nɔviwò be, ‘Nɔvi, na maɖe ati fefi si le wò ŋku dzi la ɖa na wò,’ esi màte ŋu akpɔ gãa si le wò ŋutɔ wò ŋkuwo dzi aɖe o? Alakpanuwɔla, ɖe atikpo si le wò ŋku dzi la ɖa gbã ekema àte ŋu akpɔ nu nyuie, ale be nàte ŋu aɖe nɔviwò ƒe ati fefi la ɖa nɛ.
Or how are you able to say to your brother, Brother, permit, I may take out the speck that [is] in your eye—yourself not beholding the beam in your own eye? Hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that [is] in your brother’s eye.
43 “Ati nyui aɖeke mate ŋu atse ku manyomanyo o, eye ati manyomanyo mate ŋu atse ku nyui o.
For there is not a good tree making bad fruit, nor a bad tree making good fruit;
44 Ku si ati aɖe tsena lae wotsɔna dzea si ati si ƒomevi wònye lae; elabena womegbea gbowo le ŋutiwo dzi o, alo wotsoa wainkpo le ŋuve me.
for each tree is known from its own fruit, for they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they crop a grape from a bramble.
45 Ame nyui ƒe nuƒo fiana be nu nyui wɔwɔ yɔ eƒe dzi me. Ke ame vɔ̃ɖi ya ƒe dzi me yɔna fũu kple nu vɔ̃, eye eƒe nuƒo ɖea vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi sia fiana.
The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which [is] good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which [is] evil; for out of the abounding of the heart his mouth speaks.
46 “Nu ka tae mieyɔam be ‘Aƒetɔ, Aƒetɔ’, evɔ miewɔa nye gbe dzi o?
And why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?
47 Ame sia ame si vaa gbɔnye, eye wòsea nye nya, eye wòwɔa edzi la, mafia ame si wòɖi mi.
Everyone who is coming to Me, and is hearing My words, and is doing them, I will show you to whom he is like:
48 Eɖi ame aɖe si tu xɔ, eɖe do goglo, eye wòɖo gɔmeɖokpe nyuie ɖe kpe gbadza dzi, ke esi tɔ ɖɔ, eye tsi ɖe xɔa la, mete ŋu mui o, elabena wotui nyuie.
he is like to a man building a house, who dug and deepened, and laid a foundation on the rock, and a flood having come, the stream broke forth on that house, and was not able to shake it, for it had been founded on the rock.
49 Ke ame si sea nye nya, eye mewɔna ɖe edzi o la le abe ame aɖe si tu eƒe xɔ ɖe anyigba, eye meɖo gɔmeɖokpe nɛ o la ene. Esi tsi dza ɖɔ ɖe eŋu la, xɔ sia mu gbloo, hegbã gudugudu.”
And he who heard and did not, is like to a man having built a house on the earth, without a foundation, against which the stream broke forth, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house became great.”
