Marko 3
1 Yesu gayi Yudatɔwo ƒe ƒuƒoƒe le Kapernaum, eye wòkpɔ ame aɖe si tsitsi lé asi na la le afi ma.
At another time, when He went to the synagogue, there was a man there with one arm shrivelled up.
2 Esi wònye Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke ta la, Yesu ƒe futɔwo nɔ ŋku lém ɖe eŋu tsitotsito be ada gbe le amea ŋu mahã, ne wòwɔe la, yewoatsɔ nya ɖe eŋu.
They closely watched Him to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath--so as to have a charge to bring against Him.
3 Yesu yɔ amea be neva tsi tsitre ɖe ameha la ŋkume.
"Come forward," said He to the man with the shrivelled arm.
4 Etrɔ ɖe wo gbɔ hebia wo be, “Enyo be woawɔ dɔmenyo le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkekewo dzia? Alo enye ŋkeke si dzi woawɔ nu nyui loo alo vɔ̃?” Ameawo katã zi kpi, eye womeɖo biabia siawo ƒe ɖeke ŋu nɛ o.
Then He asked them, "Are we allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil? to save a life, or to destroy one?" They remained silent.
5 Yesu tsa ŋku le ameawo dzi dzikutɔe, elabena eɖe fu na eƒe susu ŋutɔ be, womesea veve ɖe wo nɔewo ti o. Azɔ egblɔ na amea be, “Dzɔ wò asi.” Amea wɔe, eye enumake eƒe asi gaɖɔ ɖo.
Grieved and indignant at the hardening of their hearts, He looked round on them with anger, and said to the man, "Stretch out your arm." He stretched it out, and the arm was completely restored.
6 Esi Farisitɔwo kpɔ esia la, wotso enumake ɖawɔ ɖoɖo kple Herod dunyaheha, si de Roma dziɖuɖu dzi la le ale si woawɔ awu Yesu la ŋuti.
But no sooner had the Pharisees left the synagogue than they held a consultation with the Herodians against Jesus, to devise some means of destroying Him.
7 Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo ɖe wo ɖokui ɖe aga heyi ƒua ta, eye ameha gã aɖe dze wo yome tso Galilea.
Accordingly Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the Lake, and a vast crowd of people from Galilee followed Him;
8 Esi wose nu siwo katã Yesu nɔ wɔwɔm ta la, ame geɖe siwo tso Yudea, Yerusalem, Idumea kple nuto siwo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe go kemɛ kple Tiro kple Sidon nutowo me hã va.
and from Judaea and Jerusalem and Idumaea and from beyond the Jordan and from the district of Tyre and Sidon there came to Him a vast crowd, hearing of all that He was doing.
9 Yesu vɔ̃ be ameawo ava mimi ye ɖo, eya ta ebia tso eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo si be woadi ʋu sue aɖe ada ɖi, ale be ne ameawo mimi ye ɖo fũu akpa la, yeage ɖe eme ado le wo dome,
So He gave directions to His disciples to keep a small boat in constant attendance on Him because of the throng--to prevent their crushing Him.
10 elabena eda gbe le dɔnɔ geɖewo ŋu gbe ma gbe ale gbegbe be dɔnɔ bubuwo ƒo zi ɖe eŋu fũu henɔ didim be yewoaka asi eŋu ko.
For He had cured many of the people, so that all who had any ailments pressed upon Him, to touch Him.
11 Nenye be ame siwo me gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo le la kpɔ Yesu la, wodzea anyi ɖe eƒe akɔme hedoa ɣli be, “Wòe nye Mawu ƒe Vi la,”
And the foul spirits, whenever they saw Him, threw themselves down at His feet, screaming out: "You are the Son of God."
12 gake Yesu dea se na wo vevie be womegana amewo nanya ame si yenye o.
But He many a time checked them, forbidding them to say who He was.
13 Le nu siawo megbe la, Yesu yi to aɖe dzi, eye wòbia tso ame siwo wòtia la si be woava do go ye le afi ma, eye woyi.
Then He went up the hill; and those whom He Himself chose He called, and they came to Him.
14 Azɔ la, etia ame wuieve be woanye apostolowo, ame siwo anɔ eŋuti gbeawo tsyo gbe, eye wòadɔ wo woayi aɖagblɔ mawunya na amewo,
He appointed twelve of them, that they might be with Him, and that He might also send them to proclaim His Message,
15 eye wòna ŋusẽ wo be woanya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo do goe le amewo me.
with authority to expel the demons.
16 Ame wuieve siwo wòtia la ƒe ŋkɔwoe nye: Simɔn (ame si wòna ŋkɔe be Petro),
These twelve were Simon (to whom He gave the surname of Peter),
17 Yakobo kple nɔvia Yohanes, Zebedeo ƒe vi (siwo Yesu na ŋkɔe be, “dziɖegbe ƒe viwo”);
James the son of Zabdi and John the brother of James (these two He surnamed Boanerges, that is 'Sons of Thunder'),
18 Andrea, Filipo, Bartolomeo, Mateo, Toma, Yakobo, Alfeo ƒe vi, Tadeo, Simɔn, ame si nye Zelote dunyahehamenɔla,
Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Cananaean,
19 kple Yuda Iskariɔt, ame si va dee asi.
and Judas Iscariot, the man who also betrayed Him.
20 Esi Yesu trɔ yi aƒe si me wòdze la, amehawo gade asi ƒuƒoƒo me ake, eye eteƒe medidi o la, aƒea me yɔ kple amewo. Ameawo sɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe be mekpɔ ɣeyiɣi ne wòaɖu nu gɔ̃ hã o.
And He went into a house. But again the crowd assembled, so that there was no opportunity for them even to snatch a meal.
21 Esi eƒe ƒometɔwo se nya sia la, wova be yewoakplɔe ayi yewo gbɔe, elabena wobu be eƒe tagbɔe da.
Hearing of this, His relatives came to seize Him by force, for they said, "He is out of his mind."
22 Gake Yudatɔwo ƒe agbalẽfiala siwo tso Yerusalem va afi ma la gblɔ be, “Belzebul, gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo ƒe fia si le eme lae le fu ɖem nɛ. Esia hã tae gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo ɖoa toe ɖo.”
The Scribes, too, who had come down from Jerusalem said, "He has Baal-zebul in him; and it is by the power of the Prince of the demons that he expels the demons."
23 Yesu yɔ ɖeklemiɖela siawo, hedo lo sia na wo be, “Aleke Satana agate ŋu atsi tsitre ɖe Satana ŋuti?
So He called them to Him, and using figurative language He appealed to them, saying, "How is it possible for Satan to expel Satan?
24 Fiaɖuƒe si ma ɖe eve la, mate ŋu anɔ te o, agbã godoo.
For if civil war breaks out in a kingdom, nothing can make that kingdom last;
25 Aƒe si me mama kple dzrewɔwɔ le la hã mate ŋu anɔ te o.
and if a family splits into parties, that family cannot continue.
26 Ne Satana tsi tsitre ɖe eya ŋutɔ ɖokui ŋu la, ekema mate ŋu anɔ te o, ke boŋ atsrɔ̃.
So if Satan has risen in arms and has made war upon himself, stand he cannot, but meets his end.
27 Le nyateƒe me la, ame aɖeke mate ŋu age ɖe ŋusẽtɔ ƒe aƒe me, alɔ eƒe nunɔamesiwo adzoe o, negbe ɖeko wòabla ŋusẽtɔ ma gbã, ekema ate ŋu aha eƒe aƒemenuwo.
Nay, no one can go into a strong man's house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.
28 Mele nyateƒe la gblɔm na mi be woatsɔ amewo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo kple woƒe busunyawo katã ake wo,
In solemn truth I tell you that all their sins may be pardoned to the sons of men, and all their blasphemies, however they may have blasphemed;
30 Yesu gblɔ nya sia, elabena ameawo nɔ gbɔgblɔm be gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ le eme.
This was because they said, "He is possessed by a foul spirit."
31 Azɔ Yesu dada kple nɔviawo va aƒe si me wònɔ la godo, wodɔ ame aɖe be wòayɔe na wo.
By this time His mother and His brothers arrive, and standing outside they send a message to Him to call Him.
32 Ameha gã aɖe nɔ anyi ɖe egbɔ ƒo xlãe, eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Dawò kple nɔviwò ŋutsuwo di be yewoakpɔ wò le aƒea godo.”
Now a crowd was sitting round Him; so they tell Him, "Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside, inquiring for you."
33 Yesu biae be, “Ame kae nye danye? Ame kawoe nye nɔvinye ŋutsuwo?”
"Who are my mother and my brothers?" He replied.
34 Etsa ŋku le ame siwo ƒo xlãe la dome godoo, eye wògblɔ be, “Ame siawoe nye danye kple nɔvinye ŋutsuwo!
And, fixing His eyes on the people who were sitting round Him in a circle, He said,
35 Ame sia ame si wɔa Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu la, enye nɔvinye ŋutsu, nɔvinye nyɔnu alo danye.”
"Here are my mother and my brothers. For wherever there is one who has been obedient to God, there is my brother--my sister--and my mother."
