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 afterwards that He went through every city and village, preaching and declaring the good tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were 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 some women that had been cured of evil spirits and other infirmities, as Mary Magdalene, out of whom were cast seven demons,
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 others, who assisted Him with their substance.
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 great multitude was gathered together, of those that came to Him out of every city, He spake a parable saying,
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.
A sower went out to sow his seed, and as he was sowing, some fell by the way-side, and was trodden down, and the birds of the air 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 some fell upon stony ground, and as soon as it sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 Bubuwo ge ɖe ŋugbewo me, eye womie kple ŋuawo, gake ŋuawo va vu tsyɔ̃ wo dzi, eye wotsrɔ̃.
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and 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.”
But some fell on good ground, and sprang up and yielded fruit an hundred-fold. And as He said these things He cried out, "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
9 Eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va egbɔ be wòaɖe lododo la gɔme na yewo.
And his disciples asked Him, what might be the meaning of 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 granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but I speak to others in parables, that in seeing they may not see, and hearing they may 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 this is the meaning of the parable, 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-side, are such as hear indeed; but then the devil cometh and taketh away the word from their hearts, least they should believe and 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 stony-ground are such as when they hear, receive the word with joy; but have no root, and so believe only for a while, and in the time of trial fall away.
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 among thorns, are those who when they have heard the word go away and are choked with the cares and riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
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 that on the good ground, are those who having heard the word, retain it in a good and honest heart, and bring forth fruit with patience.
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.
No man when he hath lighted a candle covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a couch; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they who come 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 nothing secret, that shall not be made manifest: nor any thing concealed, which shall not be made known and come to light.)
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.”
Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever improveth what he hath, to him shall more be given; and whosoever hath not, even what he seemeth to have shall 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.
Now his mother and his brethren came to Him, and could not come at Him for the croud:
20 Ame aɖe va gblɔ na Yesu be dadaa kple nɔviawo le edim be yewoakpɔ.
and it was told Him, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without 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.”
And He answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these that 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.
And it came to pass on one of the days that He went into a ship, Himself and his disciples, and He said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake.
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.
And they launched forth: but as they were failing, He fell asleep: and a storm of wind came down upon the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in great danger.
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 they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, Master, master, we are perishing. Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a 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 unto them, Where is your faith? But they were struck with awe and amazement, and said one to another, who is this? for He commandeth even the winds and the sea, and they obey Him.
26 Wova ɖi go ɖe Gadaratɔwo ƒe anyigba si le Galilea ƒua godo la dzi.
And they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against 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 was landed, there met Him a man out of the city, who had been possessed by demons a long while, and wore no clothes, and abode in no dwelling but the tombs.
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!”
But when he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down to Him, and said with a loud voice, What have I to do 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 impure spirit to come out of the man; which had oftentimes seized him so violently, that tho' he was bound with chains and fetters, yet he broke the bands asunder, and was driven by the demon into those lonely places.)
30 Yesu bia gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃a be, “Ŋkɔwò ɖe?” Eɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ŋkɔnyee nye Legio,” elabena gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ geɖe yi eme.
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? and he said, Legion: because many demons were entred 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 besought Him that He would not command them to go 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.
but as there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain, they intreated Him that He would suffer them to enter into them, and He permitted 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.
So the demons went out of the man and entred into the swine: and the herd ran violently down the hill 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 that looked after them saw what was done they fled; and went and told it in city and country:
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 the people went out to see what was done, and came to Jesus; and found the man, from whom the demons were gone out, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind:
36 Ame siwo kpɔ ale si Yesu da gbe le gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ tɔ la ŋui la gblɔe na wo tɔ bubuawo.
and they were afraid, for those that saw it told them how the demoniac was healed.
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 all the people of the country round about the Gadarenes desired Him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear: and He went into the ship and 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,
Now the man from whom the demons were gone out, prayed Him to let him be with Him: but Jesus sent him away,
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.
saying, Return home, and relate what God hath done for thee. So he went away publishing through the whole city what great things Jesus had done to him.
40 Ke esi Yesu trɔ va la, ameha la xɔe atuu, elabena wonɔ mɔ kpɔm na eƒe vava xoxoxo.
And when Jesus returned, a great multitude of people received 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, a ruler of the synagogue, and he fell at the feet of Jesus, and intreated 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.
for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. (But as He was going, the people crouded 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 who had been in a flux twelve years, and had spent her whole livelyhood upon physicians,
44 Nyɔnu sia va te ɖe eŋu le emegbe, eye wòka asi eƒe awu to, enumake eƒe ʋusisidɔ la tɔ.
but could not be healed by any, came close behind Him and touched the hem of his garment, and immediately her flux was stopt.
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 touched me? When all denied it, Peter, and those that were with him, said, Sir, the multitudes throng and press thee, and dost thou ask, Who was it that 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.”
And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive a peculiar virtue is gone out of 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 concealed, she came trembling, and fell down to Him, and declared before all the people, for what reason she had 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 unto her, Daughter, be comforted, 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 was yet speaking, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's, and said to Him, Thy daughter is dead, trouble not the Master.
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 Jesus hearing it, answered saying, Fear not, only believe, and she shall be recovered.
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 suffered none to go in but Peter, and James, and John, and the father and mother of the child.
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 they were all weeping and bewailing her: but He said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 Nya sia ɖi kokoe na ameawo, elabena wonya nyuie be ɖevia ku.
And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.
54 Azɔ Yesu zɔ ɖe ɖevia dzi le xɔa me, eye wòlé eƒe alɔnu heyɔe gblɔ be, “Vinye tsi tsitre.”
But He turned them all out, and taking hold of her hand, called to her, saying, Child, arise.
55 Eye eƒe gbɔgbɔ gagbugbɔ, eye enumake wòtsi tsitre kpla. Yesu gblɔ na ameawo be, “Mina nanee wòaɖu!”
And her spirit returned, and immediately she stood up: and He ordered something to be given 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 exceedingly astonished: but He charged them to tell no one what was done.
