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 on a sabbath it occurred, as Jesus walked among the tilled grounds, that his disciples plucked ears, and rubbed them in their hands and ate.
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 some of the Pharisees said to them: Why do ye that, which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath?
3 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Alo miexlẽ nu tso nu si David wɔ esi dɔ wu eya kple eŋutimewo ŋu oa?
Jesus replied, and said to them: Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, he and those 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 entered into the house of God, and took and ate the bread of the Lord's table, and gave it to those that were with him; which it was not lawful, except for the priests only, to eat?
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 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 on another sabbath, he entered a synagogue and taught. And a man was there, whose 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 Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might be able to accuse 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 as he knew their thoughts, he said to the man with a withered hand: Rise and come into the midst of the congregation. And when he came and stood there,
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?”
Jesus said to them: I ask you, What is it lawful to do on the sabbath? that which is good? or that which is evil? to save life or to destroy it?
10 Etsa ŋku le wo katã dzi ɖekaɖeka, eye wògblɔ na ŋutsua be, “Dzɔ wò asi.” Edzɔ asia kasia eƒe asi gaɖɔ ɖo.
And he looked upon them all; and then said to him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched out his hand, and it was restored like 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 envy; and they conferred one with another, what they should 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 in those days, Jesus retired to a mountain to pray; and he passed the night there, in prayer to 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 the day dawned, he called his disciples, and selected from them twelve, whom he named Legates:
14 Ameawo ƒe ŋkɔwoe nye, Simɔn (ame si wòna ŋkɔe be Petro), Andrea si nye Simɔn nɔviŋutsu, Yakobo, Yohanes, Filipo, Bartolomeo,
Simon whom he named Cephas, and Andrew his brother, and James, and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,
15 Mateo, Toma, Yakobo si nye Alfeo vi, Simɔn ame si nye Zelote dunyaheha sesẽ aɖe me nɔla;
and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alpheus, and Simon who was called Zelotes,
16 Yuda si nye Yakobo vi, kple Yuda Iskariɔt ame si va zu yomemɔfiala.
and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
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 Jesus descended with them, and stood in the plain; and a great company of his disciples, and a multitude of assembled people, from all Judaea, and from Jerusalem and from the seashore of Tyre and Sidon; who came to hear his discourse, and to be healed of their diseases;
18 va be yewoaɖo toe alo be wòada gbe le yewo ŋu. Gbe ma gbe la, enya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ geɖewo le amewo me.
and they who were afflicted by unclean spirits: and they 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 the whole multitude sought to touch him; for there went a virtue out of him and healed them 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 lifted his eyes upon his disciples, and said: Blessed are ye poor; for the kingdom of God is yours.
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 are ye that hunger now; for ye will be satisfied. Blessed are ye that weep now; for ye 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 ye, when men shall hate you, and repel you, and revile you, and cast out your names as base, 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 exult, for your reward is great in heaven; for so did their fathers to the prophets.
24 “Ao, baba na mi kesinɔtɔwo, elabena wokpɔ dzidzɔ le anyigba sia dzi xoxo.
But, woe to you that are rich; for ye have received your consolation.
25 Babaa na mi ame siwo ƒe ƒodo yɔ, elabena dɔwuame sesẽ aɖe le ŋgɔ na wo gbɔna.
Woe to you that are full; for ye will hunger. Woe to you that laugh now, for ye will weep and mourn.
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 men shall speak your praise; for so did their fathers to the 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.
And to you who hear, I say: Love your enemies; and do favors to them that hate you;
28 Miyra ame siwo ƒo fi de mi la, eye mido gbe ɖa ɖe ame siwo wɔa fu mi la ta.
and bless them that curse you; and pray for them that drag you with violence.
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.
To him that smiteth thee on thy cheek, offer the other: and from him that taketh away thy cloak, keep not back thy tunic.
30 Ne nu le asiwò, eye ame aɖe bia wò la, nae eye mègabia be netrɔe vɛ na ye o.
To every one that asketh of thee, give thou: and from him that taketh thy property, demand it not.
31 Ale si tututu nèdina be amewo newɔ na ye la, wò hã wɔ na wo nenema.
And as ye would that men should do to you, so do ye also to them.
32 “Ne mielɔ̃ mia lɔ̃lawo ɖeɖe ko ɖe, miebui be miewɔ nanea? Ame siwo nye nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo hã lɔ̃a wo xɔlɔ̃wo.
For, if ye love them that love you, what goodness is it in you? For even sinners love those that love 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 ye do good to them that do good to you, what goodness is it in you? For even sinners 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 ye lend to one from whom ye expect recompense, what goodness is it in you? For sinners also lend to sinners, to receive adequate recompense.
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 ye your enemies, and do them good; and lend ye, and disappoint the hopes of no one: and great will be your reward, and ye will be children of the Highest; for he is kind to the evil, and to the unthankful.
36 “Mizu nublanuikpɔlawo abe ale si mia Fofo hã nye nublanuikpɔla ene.
Be ye 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.
Judge not, and ye will not be judged: condemn not, and ye will not be condemned: release, and ye 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 ye, and it will be given to you; in good measure, pressed down, and running over, will they cast into your lap. For, with what measure ye measure, it will be measured to you.
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 spake a similitude to them: Can a blind man lead a blind? Will not both fall into the ditch?
40 Nusrɔ̃la mewua eƒe nufiala o. Ke ame sia ame si xɔ hehe nyuitɔ la anɔ ko abe eƒe nufiala ene.
No disciple is better than his teacher; for whoever is perfect, will be like 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 observest thou the straw that is in thy brother's eye, but regardest not the beam that is in thy 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 canst thou say to thy brothers, My brother, allow me to pluck the straw from thy eye; when, lo, the beam that is in thy own eye, thou regardest not. Hypocrite! first cast the beam out thy eye, and then thy vision will be clear to pluck the straw from thy brother's eye.
43 “Ati nyui aɖeke mate ŋu atse ku manyomanyo o, eye ati manyomanyo mate ŋu atse ku nyui o.
There is no good tree, that beareth bad fruits; nor a bad tree, that beareth good fruits.
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 every tree is known by its fruits. Do men gather figs from thorn-bushes? So, neither do they pluck grapes from brambles.
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.
A good man, from the good treasure that is in his heart, bringeth out good things: and a bad man, from the bad treasure that is in his heart, bringeth out bad things. For, from the abundance of the heart, the lips speak.
46 “Nu ka tae mieyɔam be ‘Aƒetɔ, Aƒetɔ’, evɔ miewɔa nye gbe dzi o?
And why call ye me, My Lord, my Lord; while ye do not that which I command you?
47 Ame sia ame si vaa gbɔnye, eye wòsea nye nya, eye wòwɔa edzi la, mafia ame si wòɖi mi.
Every one that cometh to me, and heareth my words, and doeth them, I will show 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 a man that built a house; and he dug and went deep, and laid the foundations on a rock: and when a flood occurred, the flood rushed upon that house, and could not move it, for its foundation rested on a 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.”
But he that heareth and doeth not, is like a man that built his house upon the earth, without a foundation; and when the torrent rushed upon it, it fell immediately, and the ruin of that house was great.
