< Marko 6 >

1 Le esia megbe la, Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dzo le nuto ma me yi Nazaret si nye ededu me.
Jesus left that place, and accompanied by his disciples, came into his own part of the country.
2 Le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke dzi la, eyi ƒuƒoƒe la ɖafia nu, eye ame geɖe siwo se eƒe nufiafia la ƒe nu ku. Wobia be, “Afi ka ame sia xɔ nu siawo tsoe? Nunya ka tɔgbi wonae be wòte ŋu le nukunu siawo wɔm!
When it came Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue; many, as they listened, were deeply impressed. "Where did he get all this?" they asked; "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, and miracles such as these that happen at his hands?
3 Alo menye ame siae nye atikpala la oa? Menye Maria ƒe viŋutsu si nɔviwoe nye Yakobo, Yosef, Yuda kple Simɔn, siwo le mía dome, eye nɔvia nyɔnuwo hã le mía dome oa?” Esia na eƒe nu ve dɔme na wo ŋutɔ.
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of Jamesand Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?"
4 Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Bubu menɔa nyagblɔɖila aɖeke ŋu le eya ŋutɔ ƒe dedu me, amewo dome kple eya ŋutɔ ƒe aƒe me o.”
So they disapproved of him. Then Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his native land and among his relatives and in his home."
5 Le ameawo ƒe dzimaxɔse ta la, mete ŋu wɔ nukunu gãwo le wo dome o, asi ko wòda ɖe dɔléla ʋɛ aɖewo dzi heyɔ dɔ wo.
And he was unable to do any miracle there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick folk and healed them.
6 Ewɔ nuku na Yesu ŋutɔ be wo detɔwo mexɔ edzi se o, ale wòdzo ɖatsa le kɔƒewo me nɔ nu fiam amewo.
And he wondered at their lack of faith. So he went among the neighboring villages, teaching.
7 Yesu yɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo, eye wòdɔ wo eveve hena ŋusẽ wo be woanya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo do goe le amewo me.
Then summoning the Twelve to him, he began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.
8 Egblɔ na wo be, “Migatsɔ naneke ɖe asi hena mɔzɔzɔ o, negbe atizɔti ko. Migatsɔ nuɖuɖu, mɔzɔkotoku alo ga hã ɖe asi o.
He bade them take nothing but a staff for their journey; no bread, no wallet, no coins in their purse;
9 Migatsɔ afɔkpa eve alo awu eve teti hã o.
they were to wear sandals, but not to put on two tunics.
10 Midze aƒe ɖeka ko me le kɔƒe ɖe sia ɖe me; miganɔ tsatsam tso aƒe me yi aƒe me o.
"Wherever you enter a house," he told them, "remain there until you leave the place;
11 Nenye be kɔƒe aɖe me tɔwo mexɔ mi alo ɖo to mi o la, miʋuʋu ke si lé ɖe afɔƒome na mi la ɖi, eye miadzo. Esia nye ɖase be miegblẽ teƒe la ɖi be nu sia nu si adzɔ ɖe edzi la nadzɔ faa.”
and if any place does not receive you, or listen to you, as you go out of it shake off the dust under your feet, as a warning to them."
12 Nusrɔ̃lawo dze mɔ henɔ nu xlɔ̃m ame sia ame si wodo goe le mɔa dzi la be wòatrɔ dzime.
So they fared forth and summoned men to repentance.
13 Wonya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo le amewo me, eye wosi ami na dɔnɔwo heda gbe le wo ŋu.
They cast out many demons, and anointed many sick people with oil and cured them.
14 Fia Herod se Yesu ŋkɔ, elabena ame sia ame nɔ nu ƒom tso nukunu siwo katã wɔm wònɔ la ŋu. Fia la bu be Yohanes Mawutsidetanamelae gagbɔ agbe, elabena amewo le gbɔgblɔm be, “Yohanes Mawutsidetanamelae fɔ, eya ta wòte ŋu le nukunu siawo wɔm ɖo.”
King Herod heard it, for the name of Jesus had become well known, People were saying, "Johnthe Baptist is risen from the dead, and on that account these powers are working in him."
15 Ame aɖewo hã bu be Yesue nye Eliya, Mawu ƒe Nyagblɔɖila xoxoawo dometɔ ɖeka, si gava dzɔ, eye ɖewo hã bu be Yesue nye Mawu ƒe Gbeƒãɖela yeye si si ŋusẽ le abe esiwo nɔ anyi va yi la ene.
"He is Elijah," said others. And still others were saying, "He is a prophet, like one of the old prophets."
16 Ke Herod ya gblɔ kple kakaɖedzi be, “Yohanes, ame si nu metso ta le la kokokoe fɔ tso yɔ me.”
But when Herod heard, he said, "That Johnwhom I beheaded has come back to life."
17 Herod sia nye ame si dɔ asrafowo be woalé Yohanes de gaxɔ me. Ewɔ esia le Herod, nɔvia Filipo srɔ̃ si wòxɔ la ta,
Now this Herod had sent and arrested John, and bound him in prison, for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, whom he had married.
18 elabena Yohanes gblɔ na Herod be, “Se meɖe mɔ be nàxɔ nɔviwò srɔ̃ aɖe o.”
For Johnhad often told Herod, "It is not right for you to live with your brother’s wife."
19 Le esia ta Herod di vevie be woawu Yohanes, gake fia la meda asi ɖe ɖoɖo sia dzi o,
So Herodias hated him, and wished to put him to death;
20 elabena Herod tsɔ bubu geɖe na Yohanes le eƒe ame ɖɔʋu kple ame kɔkɔenyenye ta, eya ta etsɔe de eya ŋutɔ ƒe dzikpɔkpɔ te. Nenye be Herod kple Yohanes wole dze ɖom la, nya siwo Yohanes gblɔna la ɖea fu na Herod ƒe susu ŋutɔ, gake zi geɖe la, edina kokoko be yeaɖo dze kplii.
but she could not, for Herod was afraid of Johnbecause he knew that he was a just and holy man. So he kept him safe. When he listened to Johnhe was much exercised, yet he found pleasure in listening to him.
21 Mlɔeba la, Herod va kpɔ mɔnu aɖe si dzi wòato awu Yohanes. Herod ƒe dzigbezã ɖo, eye wòɖo kplɔ̃ na eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo, ame siwo nye asrafowo ƒe amegãwo kple ame ŋkuta, siwo tso Galilea la le fiasã la me.
Then came a convenient day, when Herod on his birthday held a feast for his lords and generals and the leading men of Galilee,
22 Eva dzɔ be Herod ƒe vinyɔnu va ɖu ɣe na ame kpekpeawo. Eƒe ɣeɖuɖu do dzidzɔ na ame sia ame ŋutɔ. Le esia ta fia la gblɔ na nyɔnuvi la be, “Bia nu sia nu si nèdi tso asinye la, mana wò.”
at which the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced. She charmed Herod and his guests. "Ask me whatever you want," said the king to the young girl, "and I will give it to you."
23 Eka atam nɛ be, “Nu sia nu si nàbia la, matsɔe na wò; nenye nye fiaɖuƒe la ƒe afã nèbia hã la, mana wò.”
He even swore to her that whatever she asked, he would give it to her, up to half his kingdom.
24 Nyɔnuvi la yi dadaa gbɔ ɖagblɔ nya la nɛ. Dadaa gblɔ nɛ be, “Yi nàbia Yohanes Mawutsidetanamela ƒe ta.”
So she came out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask for?" "The head of Johnthe Baptist," she replied.
25 Nyɔnuvi la gaɖe abla va fia la gbɔ va gblɔ nɛ be, “Mele Yohanes Mawutsidetanamela ƒe ta dim fifi laa, nenɔ agba me woatsɔ vɛ nam.”
So she at once hurried in to the king and made her request, "I want you," she said, "to give me, without delay, the head of Johnthe Baptist on a charger."
26 Nya sia ve fia la ŋutɔ, gake anye ŋukpe be wòada le atam si wòka la dzi le eƒe ame kpekpeawo ŋkume,
Then the king was exceedingly sorry; yet on account of his oaths and his guests he was unwilling to disappoint her.
27 eya ta eɖo asrafo si le eŋu dzɔm la ɖa be wòayi aɖatso ta le Yohanes nu atsɔ vɛ na ye. Asrafo la yi ɖatso ta le Yohanes nu le gaxɔ la me
So he sent at once a soldier of the guard with orders to bring his head.
28 hetsɔ de agba me vɛ na nyɔnuvi la, eye wòtsɔe yi na dadaa.
And he went and beheaded Johnin prison, brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young girl, and she gave it to her mother.
29 Esi Yohanes ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo se nu si dzɔ la, woyi ɖaxɔ eƒe kukua ɖaɖi.
When John’s disciples heard of this, they came, and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.
30 Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo trɔ tso woƒe mɔzɔzɔ la gbɔ, eye wogblɔ nu siwo katã wowɔ, nya siwo katã wogblɔ kple teƒe siwo katã wode la nɛ.
When the apostles had come back to Jesus, they told him all the things they had done, and all they had taught.
31 Yesu se nya siawo keŋ, eye wòɖo aɖaŋu na wo be, “Mina míadzo le amehawo dome vie aɖadi teƒe aɖe anɔ adzudzɔ sẽe.” Elabena ame geɖewo ŋutɔ nɔ wo gbɔ vam henɔ dzodzom, ale be ɣeyiɣi meli woaɖu nu o.
Then he said to them, "Come apart, yourselves, to a quiet spot, and rest a while." For there were many coming and going, and they could not get time even to eat.
32 Ale wodzo le teƒe sia kple ʋu heyi teƒe aɖe si zi ɖoɖoe wu,
So they sailed away privately to a solitary place.
33 gake ame geɖewo gakpɔ wo xoxo, wonya afi si yim wonɔ, eya ta woƒu du dze ŋgɔ na wo, zɔ ƒua nu yi ɖakpe wo esi woɖi le ʋu la me teti ko.
However, many saw them going, and recognized them, and ran together by land from all the neighboring towns, and arrived there first.
34 Abe ale si wònɔna ɖaa ene la, ameha gã aɖe gava kpe Yesu le afi sia. Ameawo ƒe nu wɔ nublanui nɛ ŋutɔ, elabena wole abe alẽha si kplɔla meli na o la ene. Efia nu geɖe siwo wòle be woanya la wo.
So when Jesus landed he saw a vast multitude, and he was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.
35 Le ɣetrɔ me la, eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va gblɔ nɛ be, “Teƒe sia tso abo, evɔ zã hã le dodom,
Then when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him and said. "This place is desert, and the day is now far spent.
36 eya ta gblɔ na ameawo be woayi kɔƒe kple agble siwo te ɖe afi sia ŋu la me aɖadi nuɖuɖu na wo ɖokuiwo.”
Send the people away so that they may go to the farms and villages about here, and buy themselves something to eat."
37 Gake Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Miawo mina nuɖuɖu wo.” Nusrɔ̃lawo biae be, “Nu ka míana wo? Hafi woate ŋu ana nuɖuɖu ameha sia la, ehiã ga home gã aɖe.”
In answer he said to them, "You yourselves are to give them food." "Are we to go and buy fifty dollars worth of bread," they said, "and give them food?"
38 Yesu bia wo be, “Nuɖuɖu agbɔsɔsɔ ka sinue le mia si? Miyi miakpɔe ɖa.” Woyi gbɔ va gblɔ nɛ be, “Abolo atɔ̃ kple tɔmelã meme eve koe li.”
"How many loaves have you?" he answered. "Go and see." When they had found out, they said, "Five, and two fishes."
39 Yesu gblɔ na wo be woana ameawo nanɔ anyi ɖe ƒuƒoƒowo me le gbe dama la dzi.
Then he directed them to make all sit down by companies on the green grass.
40 Ale ameawo nɔ anyi ɖe hatsotso alafawo kple blaatɔ̃wo me.
And they sat down like beds in a garden, by hundreds and by fifties.
41 Azɔ Yesu tsɔ abolo atɔ̃ la kple tɔmelã meme eve la, eye wòwu mo dzi, heda akpe ɖe wo ta. Eŋe aboloawo me, eye wòtsɔ wo kple tɔmelãwo na nusrɔ̃la ɖe sia ɖe be wòaɖo ameawo ƒe akɔme.
Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven he blessed, broke the loaves in pieces, and kept giving to the disciples to distribute.
42 Ameawo ɖu nu la ale gbegbe be woɖi ƒo wu ale si hiã,
The two fish also he divided to them all.
43 eye esi nusrɔ̃lawo ƒo ƒu abolo kple tɔmelã kakɛ siwo susɔ la, woyɔ kusi wuieve.
All ate and had enough; and they carried away broken fragments of bread and of fish, enough to fill twelve baskets.
44 Ke ŋutsu siwo ɖu nua la ƒe xexlẽme anɔ akpe atɔ̃.
Those who ate the bread were five thousand adult men.
45 Le nuɖuɖu la nana ameawo vɔ megbe teti ko la, Yesu gblɔ na eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be woage ɖe ʋu la me, akui atso ƒu la ayi Betsaida afi si yeava tu wo le emegbe. Ebe ye ŋutɔ yeado megbe ado mɔ ameha la woayi aƒe me.
Then he at once compelled the disciples to embark in the boat and go before him to Bethsaida on the other side, while he sent the people away.
46 Le esia megbe la, Yesu yi togbɛ aɖe dzi be yeado gbe ɖa.
After he had taken leave of them, he went away into the mountain to pray.
47 Le zã me esi tɔdziʋua ɖo ƒu la ƒe titina la, eya ɖeka susɔ ɖe gota.
And when evening came, the boat was half-way across the sea, while he was on shore alone;
48 Yesu ɖeka nɔ godzi kpɔ wo ɖa. Ekpɔ be ya sesẽ si nɔ ƒoƒom la nɔ fu ɖem na wo ale gbegbe be ʋua kuku sesẽ na wo ŋutɔ. Anɔ abe fɔŋli ga etɔ̃ me ene la, Yesu zɔ ƒu la dzi ɖo ta wo gbɔ. Ewɔ abe ɖe wòbe yeazɔ to wo ŋu ene,
but when he saw them distressed in rowing (for the wind was against them), about the fourth watch of the night he went to them, walking upon the sea,
49 gake wo katã wokpɔe wònɔ zɔzɔm le ƒu la dzi, eya ta wodo vɔvɔ̃ɣli, elabena wobu be ŋɔlie.
they thought it was an apparition and shrieked aloud, for they all saw him and were terrified.
50 Gake eƒo nu gblɔ na wo enumake be, “Miaƒe dzi nedze eme. Nyee, migavɔ̃ o.”
But he at once spoke with them, saying. "Courage! It is I. Do not be afraid!"
51 Azɔ ege ɖe ʋu la me, eye yaƒoƒo la tɔ. Nusrɔ̃lawo katã ƒe nu ku ŋutɔ,
Then he got into the boat beside them, and the wind ceased, and they were utterly astounded,
52 elabena va se ɖe fifia la, womese Yesu ƒe wɔnawo gɔme o. Gawu la, womese nukunu gã si wòwɔ le ɣetrɔ ma hã gɔme o, elabena woƒe dzi me sẽ.
for they had not understood about the loaves; on the contrary their heart was hardened.
53 Wotso ƒu la va ɖi go ɖe Genesaretnyigba dzi, eye wotɔ ʋu la.
When they had crossed over they landed at Gennesaret and moored to the shore.
54 Ke esi wodo go le eme la, ame siwo nɔ afi ma la kpɔ Yesu dze sii enumake,
As soon as they got out of the boat, the people at once recognized him,
55 eya ta woƒu du ɖagblɔe na ame siwo katã le nuto la me be Yesu va ɖo. Ale amewo kɔ dɔnɔwo ɖe abawo dzi va egbɔ.
and began running over that whole country, and carrying the sick about on their beds, wherever they heard he was.
56 Afi sia afi si Yesu yi le kɔƒewo, duwo kple agbletawo la, wokɔa dɔnɔwo vaa asiwo kple mɔwo toe, eye woɖea kuku nɛ be woaka asi eƒe awu pɛ ko ŋu. Le nyateƒe me la, ame siwo katã ka asi eŋu ko la ƒe lãme sẽna.
And whenever he entered into villages or cities or the fields they would lay the sick in the market-places and beseech him to let them touch even the tassel of his cloak, and all who touched him were made well.
