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, 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 Isaiah the Prophet, "Behold, I send my messenger before thee, who shall prepare thy way:"
3 ame si ƒe gbe le ɖiɖim le gbea dzi be, ‘Midzra Yehowa ƒe mɔ ɖo, miwɔ eƒe mɔtatawo woanɔ dzɔdzɔe nɛ.’”
"The voice of one proclaiming in the wilderness, Prepare a way for the Lord, make for him a straight passage:"
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.
thus came John immersing in the wilderness, and publishing the immersion of reformation for the 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 all the country of Judea, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, resorted to him, and were immersed by him in the river 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.
Now John's clothing was of camel's hair, tied around his waist with a leather girdle: and he lived upon 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 proclaimed, saying, One mightier than I comes after me, whose shoe-latchet I am unworthy to stoop down and untie.
8 Nye la, tsi ko metsɔ de mawutsi ta na mi, gake eya adee na mi kple Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la!”
I, indeed, have immersed you in water; but he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.
9 Ɣe ma ɣi la, Yesu tso Nazaret le Galilea va Yohanes gbɔ, eye Yohanes de mawutsi ta nɛ le Yɔdan tɔsisi la me.
At that time Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee to the Jordan, and was immersed by John.
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.
As soon as he arose out of the water, he saw the sky part asunder, and the Spirit descend upon him like a dove.
11 Gbe aɖe hã ɖi tso dziƒo be, “Wòe nye vinye si gbɔ nyemelɔ̃a nu le o, wò me mekpɔa ŋudzedze le.”
And a voice from heaven, which said, Thou art my Son, the beloved, in whom I delight.
12 Enumake Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la do dui wòyi gbedzi.
Immediately after this, the spirit conveyed him into the wilderness;
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 continued in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan; and was among the wild beasts; and the heavenly messengers ministered to him.
14 Esi Fia Herod lé Yohanes de gaxɔ me vɔ megbe la, Yesu yi Galilea be yeagblɔ Mawu ƒe nyanyui la.
But after John's imprisonment, Jesus went to Galilee, proclaiming the good tidings of the Reign 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.”
The time, he said, is accomplished, the Reign of God approaches; reform, and believe the good tidings.
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.
Then walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting a drag net into the sea, for they were fishers.
17 Yesu yɔ wo hegblɔ na wo be, “Miva dze yonyeme ne mawɔ mi miazu amewo ɖelawo.”
Jesus said to them, Come with me, and I will cause you to be fishers of men.
18 Enumake wogblẽ woƒe asabu ɖi hedze eyome.
Immediately they left their nets, and 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.
Passing on a little, and seeing James, son of Zebedee, with John his brother, who were mending their nets in a bark,
20 Eyɔ woawo hã be woadze ye yome, ale wogblẽ wo fofo Zebedeo kple ɖɔkplɔlawo ɖe ʋua me hedze Yesu yome enumake.
he immediately called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the bark with the hired servants, they accompanied 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 went to Capernaum; and on the Sabbath he repaired directly to the synagogue, and instructed the people,
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.
who were filled with admiration at his manner of teaching; for he taught as one having authority, 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,
Now there was in their synagogue a man possessed with an unclean spirit, who 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.”
Ah! Jesus of Nazareth, what hast thou to do with us? 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.”
Jesus rebuking him, said, Be silent, and come out of him.
26 Le Yesu ƒe gbeɖeɖea nu la, gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la do ɣli sesĩe, tsɔ amea xlã ɖe anyi ŋɔdzitɔe, eye wòdo go le eme.
Then the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions; and, raising loud cried, came 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.
at which they were all so amazed, that they asked one another, What does this mean? For he commands with authority 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 thenceforth his fame spread through all the region 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,
As soon as they were come out of the synagogue, they went with James and John into the house of Simon and Andrew,
30 Ŋudza lé Simɔn lɔ̃xo, eye wònɔ dɔba dzi hafi wode, ale wogblɔe na Yesu.
where Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, of which they immediately acquainted Jesus.
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 he came, and taking her by the hand, raised her; instantly the fever left her, and she entertained 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.
In the evening, after sunset, they brought to him all the sick, and the demoniacs;
33 Kapernaum du blibo la katã kloe va ƒo ƒu ɖe ʋɔtrua nu be yewoakpɔ nu.
the whole city being assembled 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 persons affected with various diseases, and expelled many demons, whom he permitted not to speak, because they knew him.
35 Le fɔŋli la, Yesu ɖeka do go, eye wòɖe eɖokui ɖe aga be yeado gbe ɖa.
On the morrow, having risen before dawn, he went out, and retired to a solitary place, and prayed there.
36 Le ɣeyiɣi aɖe megbe la, Simɔn kple ame bubuawo do go yi ɖadii.
And Simon and his company went in quest of him,
37 Esi wokpɔe la, wogblɔ nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, ameha la le diwòm.”
and having found him, said to him, Every person seeks you.
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.”
Jesus said, Let us go to the neighboring boroughs, to make proclamation there also: for I came out with this design.
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.
Accordingly he proclaimed in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and expelled demons.
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 a leper came to him, and on his knees entreated him, saying, If you will, you can cleanse me.
41 Anyidzela la ƒe nu wɔ nublanui na Yesu ŋutɔ, eya ta wòka asi eŋu hegblɔ nɛ be, “Mèlɔ̃, ŋutiwò nekɔ.”
Jesus had compassion, and stretching out his hand and touching him, said, I will, be you clean.
42 Enumake anyidzela la ƒe lãme sẽ.
This he had no sooner uttered, than the leprosy departed from the man, and he was cleansed.
43 Yesu dɔe enumake kple sedede vevi sia be,
Then Jesus strictly charging him, and dismissing him,
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.”
said, See you tell nothing of this to any man; but go, show yourself to the priest; and offer for your cleansing the things prescribed by Moses, that it may be notified to the people.
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 the man, as soon as he was gone, began to blaze this story, talking openly everywhere, insomuch that Jesus could no longer publicly appear in the city; but remained without in solitary places, whither the people resorted to him from all parts.
