Marko 1
1 Yesu Kristo, si nye Mawu ƒe Vi la, ƒe nyanyui la ƒe gɔmedzedzee nye esi.
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 Abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖi le Nyagblɔɖila Yesaya ƒe agbalẽ me ene be, “Madɔ nye dɔla ɖe ŋgɔwò be wòadzra wò mɔ la ɖo,
As it is written in Isaias the prophet: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare the way before thee.
3 ame si ƒe gbe le ɖiɖim le gbea dzi be, ‘Midzra Yehowa ƒe mɔ ɖo, miwɔ eƒe mɔtatawo woanɔ dzɔdzɔe nɛ.’”
A voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
4 Yohanes Mawutsidetanamelae nye dɔla sia. Enɔ gbedzi, eye wònɔ mawunya gblɔm be amewo nede tsi ta; ne wòafia be wotrɔ dzi me, ale be wòatsɔ woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ake wo.
John was in the desert baptizing, and preaching the baptism of penance, unto remission of sins.
5 Ame geɖe ŋutɔ tso Yerusalem kple Yudea nutowo me yi gbea dzi be yewoakpɔ Yohanes, eye yewoase gbedeasi si wòtsɔ vɛ la. Esi ame siawo ʋu woƒe nu vɔ̃wo me nɛ vɔ la, ede mawutsi ta na wo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la me.
And there went out to him all the country of Judea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptized by him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 Wotɔ awu si Yohanes do la kple kposɔfu, eye wòtsɔ lãgbalẽlidziblaka bla awua dzii. Eƒe nuɖuɖu koe nye ʋetsuviwo kple gbemenyitsi.
And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and he ate locusts and wild honey.
7 Egblɔ na eƒe nyaselawo be, “Ame aɖe gbɔna kpuie, si de ŋgɔ wum sãa, nyemedze be mabɔbɔ atu eƒe atokotaŋuka gɔ̃ hã o.
And he preached, saying: There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.
8 Nye la, tsi ko metsɔ de mawutsi ta na mi, gake eya adee na mi kple Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la!”
I have baptized you with water; but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
9 Ɣe ma ɣi la, Yesu tso Nazaret le Galilea va Yohanes gbɔ, eye Yohanes de mawutsi ta nɛ le Yɔdan tɔsisi la me.
And it came to pass, in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 Esi Yesu nɔ dodom tso tsia me la, ekpɔ be dziƒowo nu ʋu, eye Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe si nɔ akpakpa ƒe nɔnɔme me la nɔ ɖiɖim ɖe edzi.
And forthwith coming up out of he water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit as a dove descending, and remaining on him.
11 Gbe aɖe hã ɖi tso dziƒo be, “Wòe nye vinye si gbɔ nyemelɔ̃a nu le o, wò me mekpɔa ŋudzedze le.”
And there came a voice from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
12 Enumake Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la do dui wòyi gbedzi.
And immediately the Spirit drove him out into the desert.
13 Enɔ gbea dzi ŋkeke blaene, eye Satan va tee kpɔ. Enɔ lã wɔadãwo dome, eye mawudɔlawo va do ŋusẽe to subɔsubɔ me.
And he was in the desert forty days and forty nights, and was tempted by Satan; and he was with beasts, and the angels ministered to him.
14 Esi Fia Herod lé Yohanes de gaxɔ me vɔ megbe la, Yesu yi Galilea be yeagblɔ Mawu ƒe nyanyui la.
And after that John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 Eɖe gbeƒã be, “Ɣeyiɣi la de azɔ! mawufiaɖuƒe la gogo! Mitrɔ dzi me ne mianɔ agbe ɖe nyanyui la ƒe ɖoɖowo nu.”
And saying: The time is accomplished, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel.
16 Gbe ɖeka esi Yesu ɖi tsa to Galilea ƒuta va yina la, ekpɔ Simɔn kple nɔvia Andrea wonɔ asabu dam ɖe ƒua me, elabena ɖɔkplɔlawo wonye.
And passing by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting nets into the sea (for they were fishermen).
17 Yesu yɔ wo hegblɔ na wo be, “Miva dze yonyeme ne mawɔ mi miazu amewo ɖelawo.”
And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18 Enumake wogblẽ woƒe asabu ɖi hedze eyome.
And immediately leaving their nets, they followed him.
19 Esi wozɔ ƒuta la yina sẽe la, Yesu gakpɔ Zebedeo ƒe viŋutsuwo, Yakobo kple nɔvia Yohanes hã wonɔ ʋu me nɔ woƒe ɖɔwo sam.
And going on from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were mending their nets in the ship:
20 Eyɔ woawo hã be woadze ye yome, ale wogblẽ wo fofo Zebedeo kple ɖɔkplɔlawo ɖe ʋua me hedze Yesu yome enumake.
And forthwith he called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired men, they followed him.
21 Yesu kple ame siwo nɔ eŋu la va ɖo Kapernaum, eye woyi Yudatɔwo ƒe ƒuƒoƒe la le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la dzi. Yesu fia nu amewo le afi ma.
And they entered into Capharnaum, and forthwith upon the sabbath days going into the synagogue, he taught them.
22 Ame siwo nɔ ƒuƒoƒea la ƒe mo wɔ yaa le Yesu ƒe nufiafia ŋuti, elabena efia nu wo kple kakaɖedzi blibo. Le nyateƒe me la, ale si wòfia nui la to vovo sãa tso ale si woƒe agbalẽfialawo fianɛ la gbɔ.
And they were astonished at his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes.
23 Ŋutsu aɖe si me gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ nɔ la hã nɔ ƒuƒoƒe la gbe ma gbe. Ame sia de asi ɣlidodo me be,
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 “Yesu Nazaretitɔ, nu ka ta nèle fu ɖem na mí ɖo? Ɖe nèva be yeatsrɔ̃ mía? Menya ame si nènye, wòe nye Mawu ƒe Vi Kɔkɔetɔ la.”
Saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 Yesu blu ɖe eta gblɔ be, “Zi ɖoɖoe, eye nàdo go le eme.”
And Jesus threatened him, saying: Speak no more, and go out of the man.
26 Le Yesu ƒe gbeɖeɖea nu la, gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la do ɣli sesĩe, tsɔ amea xlã ɖe anyi ŋɔdzitɔe, eye wòdo go le eme.
And the unclean spirit tearing him, and crying out with a loud voice, went out of him.
27 Nuwɔna sia wɔ nuku na eteƒekpɔlawo ŋutɔ, eye woƒo nu le eŋu. Wobia wo nɔewo bena, nufiafia yeye kae nye esia? Etsɔ ŋusẽ dea se na gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo eye woɖoa toe.
And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying: What thing is this? what is this new doctrine? for with power he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
28 Nu si Yesu wɔ la na be eƒe ŋkɔ ɖi hoo le Galilea nutowo katã me le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe.
And the fame of him was spread forthwith into all the country of Galilee.
29 Yesu kple eŋutimeawo do go le ƒuƒoƒe la, Yakobo kple Yohanes kpe ɖe wo ŋu eye woyi Simɔn kple Andrea ƒe aƒe me,
And immediately going out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Ŋudza lé Simɔn lɔ̃xo, eye wònɔ dɔba dzi hafi wode, ale wogblɔe na Yesu.
And Simon’s wife’s mother lay in a fit of a fever: and forthwith they tell him of her.
31 Yesu yi dɔnɔ la ƒe aba gbɔ, elé eƒe alɔnu, eye wònɔ alinu. Dzoxɔxɔ sesẽ si nɔ nyɔnu la ƒe lãme la nu bɔbɔ enumake eye eƒe lãme sẽ. Ale wòtso yi ɖaɖa nu va ɖo wo kɔme.
And coming to her, he lifted her up, taking her by the hand; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
32 Esi ɣe nɔ to ɖom la, wokplɔ dɔléla vovovowo kple ame siwo me gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo le la va egbɔ le aƒe si me wònɔ la be wòada gbe le wo ŋu.
And when it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all that were ill and that were possessed with devils.
33 Kapernaum du blibo la katã kloe va ƒo ƒu ɖe ʋɔtrua nu be yewoakpɔ nu.
And all the city was gathered together at the door.
34 Yesu da gbe le dɔléla geɖewo ŋu, eye wònya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo do goe le ame aɖewo me fiẽ ma. Meɖe mɔ na gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃awo be woaƒo nu o, elabena wonya ame si wònye.
And he healed many that were troubled with divers diseases; and he cast out many devils, and he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him.
35 Le fɔŋli la, Yesu ɖeka do go, eye wòɖe eɖokui ɖe aga be yeado gbe ɖa.
And rising very early, going out, he went into a desert place: and there he prayed.
36 Le ɣeyiɣi aɖe megbe la, Simɔn kple ame bubuawo do go yi ɖadii.
And Simon, and they that were with him, followed after him.
37 Esi wokpɔe la, wogblɔ nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, ameha la le diwòm.”
And when they had found him, they said to him: All seek for thee.
38 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ele be míayi du bubuwo hã me be magblɔ nyanyui la na woawo hã, elabena esia ta meva ɖo.”
And he saith to them: Let us go into the neighbouring towns and cities, that I may preach there also; for to this purpose am I come.
39 Ale wòzɔ mɔ tsa le Galilea nutowo katã me, henɔ mawunya gblɔm le woƒe ƒuƒoƒewo, eye wònɔ ga ɖem ame siwo gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo de gae la hã.
And he was preaching in their synagogues, and in all Galilee, and casting out devils.
40 Gbe ɖeka la, anyidzela aɖe va dze klo ɖe Yesu ƒe akɔme, eye wòɖe kuku nɛ vevie be wòada gbe le ye ŋu. Egblɔ na Yesu be, “Ne èlɔ̃ la, na ŋutinye nakɔ.”
And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down said to him: If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41 Anyidzela la ƒe nu wɔ nublanui na Yesu ŋutɔ, eya ta wòka asi eŋu hegblɔ nɛ be, “Mèlɔ̃, ŋutiwò nekɔ.”
And Jesus having compassion on him, stretched forth his hand; and touching him, saith to him: I will. Be thou made clean.
42 Enumake anyidzela la ƒe lãme sẽ.
And when he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.
43 Yesu dɔe enumake kple sedede vevi sia be,
And he strictly charged him, and forthwith sent him away.
44 “Kpɔ egbɔ be mègblɔ nu sia na ame aɖeke o, ke boŋ yi nàtsɔ ɖokuiwò afia nunɔla la, eye nàna vɔsanu siwo Mose ɖo ɖi na ameŋukɔkɔ abe ɖaseɖiɖi na wo ene.”
And he saith to him: See thou tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the high priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
45 Gake esi ŋutsu la dzo yina la, eɖe gbeƒã eƒe lãmesẽkpɔkpɔ la na amewo le mɔa dzi. Le esia ta ameha gã aɖe nye zi ɖe Yesu dzi, ale be megate ŋu yi du aɖeke me o, ke boŋ etsi gbea dzi. Ke le afi sia hã la, amewo tso teƒeteƒewo va egbɔ.
But he being gone out, began to publish and to blaze abroad the word: so that he could not openly go into the city, but was without in desert places: and they flocked to him from all sides.
