Luka 8
1 Le esia megbe la, Yesu kplɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo ɖe asi eye wode asi tsatsa me le du kple kɔƒe siwo le Galilea nutowo me la me nɔ gbeƒã ɖem mawufiaɖuƒe ŋu nyanyui la.
And it came to pass that he traveled through, by city and village in succession, announcing and preaching the good news of the kingdom of God, and the twelve men with him,
2 Nyɔnu aɖe si me wònya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo le kple esiwo ŋu wòda gbe le la kplɔ wo ɖo. Wo dometɔ aɖewoe nye Maria Magdalatɔ ame si me wònya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ adre le,
and certain women who were healed from evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
3 Yohana, Kuza srɔ̃, Kuza sia nye Fia Herod ƒe fiasã bliboa dzi kpɔla, Susana kple ame bubu geɖe siwo tsɔ woawo ŋutɔ ƒe ga kple nuɖuɖu nɔ Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dzi kpɔmii.
and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many other women who served them from the things they possessed.
4 Gbe ɖeka esi ame geɖe gaƒo ƒu ɖe Yesu ŋu be yewoase eƒe nyawo, eye bubuwo hã ganɔ mɔ dzi gbɔna tso du bubuwo me la, edo lo sia na wo be,
And when a large multitude gathered together, and those coming to him from each city, he spoke by a parable.
5 “Agbledela aɖe yi eƒe agble me be yeaƒã nuku. Esi wònɔ nukuawo wum la, ɖewo ge ɖe mɔƒome, eye amewo va zɔ wo dzi. Xeviwo hã va fɔ wo mi.
The man who sows went forth to sow his seed. And during his sowing, some fell by the way, and it was trampled, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6 Nuku aɖewo hã ge ɖe kpenyigba dzi. Nuku siawo de asi miemie me, gake wova yrɔ elabena woƒe kewo mete ŋu yi tome ʋĩi afi si woakpɔ tsi le o.
And another fell on the rock, and having grown, it withered away because of not having moisture.
7 Bubuwo ge ɖe ŋugbewo me, eye womie kple ŋuawo, gake ŋuawo va vu tsyɔ̃ wo dzi, eye wotsrɔ̃.
And another fell amidst the thorns, and having grown together, the thorns choked it.
8 Nuku bubuwo ya ge ɖe anyigba nyui dzi, ale wotsi, tse ku alafa nanewo wu esi agbledela la wu.” Esi wògblɔ ŋutinya sia vɔ la, egblɔ be, “Ame si to senu li na la nesee.”
And another fell on the good ground, and having grown it produced fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things, he called out, He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
9 Eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va egbɔ be wòaɖe lododo la gɔme na yewo.
And his disciples questioned him, saying, What is this parable?
10 Ke egblɔ na wo be, “Miawo la, wona nunya mi be miase mawufiaɖuƒe la ƒe nu ɣaɣlawo gɔme, ke hena ame bubuwo la, meƒoa nu na wo le lododowo me ale be, “‘Ne wokpɔ nu la, womadze sii o, ne wose nu hã la, womase egɔme o.’”
And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the others in parables, so that seeing they would not see, and hearing they would not understand.
11 Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Lododo la gɔmee nye esi, nuku lae nye Mawu ƒe nya si wòtsɔ vɛ na amegbetɔwo.
Now the parable is this. The seed is the word of God.
12 Mɔƒome afi si nuku aɖewo ge ɖo lae nye ame siwo ƒe dziwo ku atri. Ame siawo ƒomevi sea Mawu ƒe nya, gake Abosam vana, eye wòɖea nya la le woƒe dzi me ale be wometea ŋu xɔa edzi sena be woakpɔ ɖeɖe o.
And those by the way are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, lest having believed, they would be saved.
13 Esiwo ge ɖe kpenyigba dzi lae nye ame siwo ne wose nya la la, woxɔnɛ kple dzidzɔ, gake metoa ke ɖe woƒe dziwo me be wòatsi o. Woxɔna sena ɣeyiɣi aɖe, ke le tetekpɔ ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me la, wogbɔdzɔna.
And those on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy. And these have no root, who believe for a time, and withdraw in time of trial.
14 Nuku si ge ɖe ŋu me lae nye ame siwo sea mawunya eye woxɔnɛ sena, gake agbe sia me ƒe fuɖenamewo, kesinɔnuwo, aglotutu, dzidzɔkpɔkpɔwo kple ŋutilã ƒe dzidzɔdonamenuwo vuna tsyɔ̃a nya la dzi le woƒe dziwo me, ale be wometsea ku ɖina o.
And that which fell in the thorns, these are those who heard, and as they go they are choked by cares and wealth and pleasures of life, and do not bring to maturity.
15 Ke anyigba nyui lae nye ame siwo se nya la kple dzi nyui si dza, eye wolé eme ɖe asi sesĩe, ale wotsea ku le dzigbɔɖi me.”
But those in the good ground, these are those who in an good and right heart, having heard the word, hold it firm, and bring forth fruit in perseverance.
16 Ɣe bubu ɣi la, Yesu bia ameawo be, “Ame kae se kpɔ be ame aɖe si akaɖi, eye wòtsɔ nu tsyɔ edzi be megaklẽ o. Gbeɖe, akaɖi la, akaɖiti dzie wodanɛ ɖo be wòaklẽ be amewo nakpɔ nu.
And no man, having lit a lamp, covers it with a container, or places it under a bed, but places it on a lampstand, so that those who enter in may see the light.
17 Esia fia be gbe ɖeka la, woahe nu sia nu si le amewo ƒe dzi me la ɖe gaglãgbe be ame sia ame nakpɔ.
For there is no secret that will not become visible, nor hid, that will not be known and come to be visible.
18 Le esia ta mikpɔ nyuie le nu siwo miesena la ŋu elabena ame si si nu le la, eyae woagana nui, eye ame si si nu mele o la, woaxɔ esi wòbu be ele ye si la hã le esi.”
Notice therefore how ye hear. For whoever has, to him will be given, and whoever has not, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.
19 Gbe ɖeka Yesu nɔviawo kple dadaa wova be yewoakpɔe ɖa. Amewo sɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe be dadaa kple nɔviawo mete ŋu te ɖe eŋu o.
And his mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him because of the crowd.
20 Ame aɖe va gblɔ na Yesu be dadaa kple nɔviawo le edim be yewoakpɔ.
And it was reported to him, saying, Thy mother and thy brothers stand outside, desiring to see thee.
21 Esi Yesu se be ye dada kple ye nɔviwo le xexe le ye dim la, egblɔ be, “Danye kple nɔvinyewoe nye ame siwo katã sea mawunya la, eye wowɔna ɖe edzi hã.”
But having answered, he said to them, My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.
22 Gbe bubu gbe esi eya kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo nɔ ʋu aɖe me le ƒua dzi la, Yesu bia tso nusrɔ̃lawo si be woaku ʋua yi ƒua ƒe go evelia dzi.
Now it came to pass on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, also his disciples. And he said to them, Let us pass through to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth,
23 Esi wonɔ ʋua me le ƒua dzi yina la, Yesu dɔ alɔ̃. Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, ahom tu, eye ƒutsotsoewo ge ɖe ʋu la me, eye woƒe agbe ɖo xaxa gã aɖe me.
but as they sailed he began to asleep. And a storm of wind came down on the lake, and they were filling up, and were in peril.
24 Nusrɔ̃lawo ɖe abla va Yesu gbɔ heʋuʋui, eye wònyɔ. Wogblɔ nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, Aƒetɔ, míele nyɔnyrɔm!” Ale Yesu fɔ, eye wòblu ɖe ahom la ta. Enumake ɖoɖoe gã aɖe zi eye ahom la dzudzɔ. Ya la kple ƒutsotsoeawo dze kɔ anyi kpoo.
And having approached, they awoke him, saying, Master, master, we are perishing. And having risen, he rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it became calm.
25 Azɔ ebia eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Afi ka míaƒe xɔse le?” Wo katã ƒe mo wɔ yaa, eye vɔvɔ̃ lé wo. Ɖeko wobia wo nɔewo be, “Ame kae nye ame sia, be ya kple ƒutsotsoewo gɔ̃ hã ɖoa toe?”
And he said to them, Where is your faith? And having feared, they wondered, saying to each other, Who then is this man, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?
26 Wova ɖi go ɖe Gadaratɔwo ƒe anyigba si le Galilea ƒua godo la dzi.
And they sailed toward the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 Esi wonɔ go dom tso ʋua me ko la, ŋutsu aɖe si me gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo le, eye megado awu kpɔ o la si du tso Gadara dua me va kpe Yesu. Nɔƒe aɖeke mele ame sia si abe aƒe me ene o. Agado siwo me woɖi ame kukuwo ɖo la me wòmlɔna.
And when he came forth upon the land, a certain man met him out of the city, who had demons of a considerable time. And he wore no clothing, and did not dwell in a house, but in the sepulchers.
28 Esi wòkpɔ Yesu teti ko la, etsɔ eɖokui xlã ɖe anyigba le eŋgɔ henɔ ɣli dom be, “Nu ka dim nèle le gbɔnye, wò Yesu, Mawu Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe Vi. Meɖe kuku na wò, mègawɔ funyafunyam o!”
And when he saw Jesus, having cried out, he fell down before him. And in a great voice he said, What is with me and with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.
29 Egblɔ nya sia, elabena Yesu de asi gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la nyanya me le eme xoxo. Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ sia xɔ amea me ale gbegbe be ne woblae kple gakɔsɔkɔsɔ hã la, etsoa kɔsɔkɔsɔa bɔbɔe hesina ɖoa gbe.
For he commanded the unclean spirit to come out from the man, for many times it had seized him. And he was bound with chains and shackles, and guarded. And breaking the bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the desolate regions.
30 Yesu bia gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃a be, “Ŋkɔwò ɖe?” Eɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ŋkɔnyee nye Legio,” elabena gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ geɖe yi eme.
And Jesus demanded him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion, because many demons were entered into him.
31 Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃awo ɖe kuku na Yesu vevie be meganya yewo de do globo si seɖoƒe meli na o la me o. (Abyssos g12)
And they entreated him that he would not command them to go out into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Aƒehawo ƒe ha gã aɖe nɔ nu ɖum le to si te ɖe wo ŋu la kɔgo le ɣeyiɣi sia me, eye gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃awo ɖe kuku na Yesu be nena yewoayi aɖage ɖe wo me. Ale Yesu na mɔ wo.
Now a herd of considerable swine was there feeding on the mountain, and they implored him that he would allow them to enter into those. And he allowed them.
33 Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃awo do go le amea me yi ɖage ɖe haawo me. Enumake haawo katã ƒu du sesĩe tso toa kɔgo yi ɖadze ƒu me doo heno tsi ku.
And the demons having come out from the man, they entered into the swine. And the herd stampeded down the slope into the lake, and were drowned.
34 Esi hakplɔlawo kpɔ nu siwo dzɔ la, wolé du tsɔ sesĩe tu ta duwo kple kɔƒe siwo te ɖe afi ma ŋu la me, eye esi wonɔ yiyim la, wonɔ nu si dzɔ la gblɔm na amewo.
And when those who tended them saw what happened, they fled and reported it in the city and in the fields.
35 Eteƒe medidi o la, ameha gã aɖe va do be yewoakpɔ nu kple yewo ŋutɔ ƒe ŋkuwo. Wokpɔ ame si me gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃awo nɔ kpɔ la, eƒe mo kɔ, eye wòdo awu henɔ anyi ɖe Yesu ƒe afɔ nu kpoo, esia wɔe be vɔvɔ̃ gã aɖe ɖo ameawo katã.
And they came out to see what happened. And they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the demons had gone out, sitting near the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.
36 Ame siwo kpɔ ale si Yesu da gbe le gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ tɔ la ŋui la gblɔe na wo tɔ bubuawo.
And also those who saw it informed them how the man who was demon-possessed was saved.
37 Ale Gadaratɔwo ƒe nutometɔwo katã ɖe kuku na Yesu be wòadzo le yewo gbɔ kpoo, elabena vɔvɔ̃ lé wo. Ke Yesu ge ɖe ʋua me hedzo le afi ma.
And the whole multitude of the region around the Gadarenes besought him to depart from them, because they were gripped by great fear. And he, having embarked into the boat, returned.
38 Hafi wòadzo la, ame si me wònya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃awo le la ɖe kuku nɛ vevie be yeayi kplii. Ke Yesu gbe gblɔ nɛ be,
But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him to be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 “Trɔ nàyi wò ƒometɔwo gbɔ, eye nàgblɔ nu gã si Mawu wɔ na wò la na wo.” Ale ŋutsu sia dze mɔ nɔ tsatsam le dua me henɔ nukunu gã si Yesu wɔ la gblɔm na ameawo.
Return to thy house, and relate everything God did for thee. And he departed, proclaiming throughout the whole city how many things Jesus did for him.
40 Ke esi Yesu trɔ va la, ameha la xɔe atuu, elabena wonɔ mɔ kpɔm na eƒe vava xoxoxo.
And it came to pass during Jesus returning, the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41 Azɔ ŋutsu aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Yairo si nye Yudatɔwo ƒe ƒuƒoƒedzikpɔlawo dometɔ ɖeka la va Yesu gbɔ dze klo ɖe eƒe afɔ nu heɖe kuku nɛ vevie be nekplɔ ye ɖo yi aƒe me,
And behold, there came a man whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And having fallen down near Jesus' feet, he besought him to come into his house,
42 elabena vinyɔnuvi ɖeka hɔ̃ si le ye si si xɔ ƒe wuieve la le kudɔ ƒom. Yesu dze eyome enumake, gake ameha la mimii ɖo.
because there was with him an only begotten daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But during his going the multitudes thronged him.
43 Nyɔnu aɖe nɔ afi ma, ame si le ʋusisidɔ lém ƒe wuieve sɔŋ, gake ame aɖeke mete ŋu yɔ dɔe o.
And a woman being with an issue of blood for twelve years, who, although she spent her entire living on physicians, was unable to be healed by any,
44 Nyɔnu sia va te ɖe eŋu le emegbe, eye wòka asi eƒe awu to, enumake eƒe ʋusisidɔ la tɔ.
having come from behind, she touched the border of his garment. And immediately the issue of her blood stayed.
45 Ke Yesu trɔ bia be, “Ame kae ka asi ŋunye?” Ame aɖeke melɔ̃ be yee o. Ke Petro gblɔ nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ ameha la mimi wò ɖo, eye wote ɖe ŋuwò kpokploe, aleke wɔ nàbia be ame kae ka asi ye ŋu?”
And Jesus said, Who is he who touched me? But when they all denied, Peter and those with him, said, Master, the multitudes come together and crowd thee, and thou say, Who is he who touched me?
46 Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Gbeɖe, ame aɖe ɖoe koŋ ka asi ŋunye, elabena ŋusẽ si le menye la ƒe ɖe do le menye.”
But Jesus said, Who touched me? For I perceived power having gone forth from me.
47 Nyɔnu si wɔ nenem nu sia la kpɔe be nu si yewɔ la le nyanya na Yesu eya ta etsɔ vɔvɔ̃ kple dzodzo nyanyanya va dze klo ɖe eŋkume hegblɔ nu si ta wòka asi eŋu kple ale si wòkpɔ dɔyɔyɔ enumake la nɛ.
And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling. And having fallen down before him, she declared to him in the presence of all the people for what reason she touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Vinyɔnu, wò xɔse da gbe le ŋuwò. Heyi le ŋutifafa me.”
And he said to her, Cheer up, Daughter. Thy faith has healed thee. Go in peace.
49 Le esime Yesu nɔ nu ƒom na nyɔnu la la, ame aɖe tso ƒuƒoƒemegã Yairo ƒe aƒe me va do kple nya sia be via nyɔnuvi sue la ku. Ame dɔdɔa gblɔ na Yairo be, “Viwò la ku xoxo eya ta viɖe aɖeke mele eme be nàgaɖe fu na Nufiala la o.”
While he still spoke, some man comes from the synagogue ruler, saying to him, Thy daughter has died. Do not trouble the teacher.
50 Esi Yesu se nya si amea tsɔ vɛ la, egblɔ na ɖevia fofo be, “Mègavɔ̃ o! Wò ya xɔ se ko, ekema viwòa agagbɔ agbe.”
But having heard it, Jesus answered him, saying, Fear not, only believe and she will be saved.
51 Esi woɖo aƒea me la, Yesu de se be ame aɖeke nagage ɖe xɔ si me ɖevia le kple ye o negbe Petro, Yohanes, Yakobo kple ɖevia fofo kple dadaa ko.
And when he came to the house, he did not allow any man to enter in except Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl and the mother.
52 Aƒea me ŋutɔ yɔ fũu kple konyifala siwo nɔ avi fam. Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Midzudzɔ avia. Ɖevia meku o, alɔ̃ ko dɔm wòle!”
And all were weeping and bewailing her. But he said, Weep not. She did not die, but sleeps.
53 Nya sia ɖi kokoe na ameawo, elabena wonya nyuie be ɖevia ku.
And they ridiculed him, knowing that she died.
54 Azɔ Yesu zɔ ɖe ɖevia dzi le xɔa me, eye wòlé eƒe alɔnu heyɔe gblɔ be, “Vinye tsi tsitre.”
But having sent them all away outside, having taken her by the hand, he called out, saying, Girl, awake.
55 Eye eƒe gbɔgbɔ gagbugbɔ, eye enumake wòtsi tsitre kpla. Yesu gblɔ na ameawo be, “Mina nanee wòaɖu!”
And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. And he commanded to give her to eat.
56 Dzi dzɔ ɖevia dzilawo ŋutɔ. Ke Yesu de se na wo vevie be womegagblɔ nu si dzɔ la na ame aɖeke o.
And her parents were amazed, but he ordered them to tell no man that which happened.
