Marko 8
1 Ameha gã aɖe gaƒo ƒu ɖe Yesu ŋu le teƒe aɖe gbe ɖeka, eye nuɖuɖu menɔ wo si woaɖu o. Yesu yɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo, eye wògblɔ na wo be,
In those days the multitude being very great, and not having what they may eat, Jesus having called near his disciples, saith to them,
2 “Ame siawo ƒe nu wɔ nublanui nam ŋutɔ, elabena ŋkeke etɔ̃e nye esi wole afi sia, naneke mele wo si woaɖu o.
'I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they do continue with me, and they have not what they may eat;
3 Ne meɖo wo ɖe aƒe me dɔmeɣii la, ŋuzi atsɔ wo le mɔa dzi, elabena wo dometɔ aɖewo tso didiƒe ke.”
and if I shall let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.'
4 Nusrɔ̃lawo biae be, “Afi ka míakpɔ nuɖuɖu le na ameha gã sia le gbedzi afi sia?”
And his disciples answered him, 'Whence shall any one be able these here to feed with bread in a wilderness?'
5 Ke Yesu hã bia wo be, “Abolo nenie le mia si?” Woɖo eŋu be, “Abolo adre.”
And he was questioning them, 'How many loaves have ye?' and they said, 'Seven.'
6 Azɔ Yesu gblɔ na ameawo be woanɔ anyi ɖe gbea dzi. Etsɔ abolo adreawo, da akpe na Mawu ɖe wo ta, ŋe wo me kakɛkakɛ hetsɔ wo na nusrɔ̃lawo, eye wotsɔ wo ɖo ameawo ƒe akɔme.
And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, he brake, and was giving to his disciples that they may set before [them]; and they did set before the multitude.
7 Lã meme ʋe aɖewo hã nɔ wo si, eye Yesu da akpe ɖe woawo hã ta, eye wòna be nusrɔ̃lawo ma wo na ameawo.
And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, he said to set them also before [them];
8 Ameawo ɖu nu, ɖi ƒodo nyuie. Emegbe la, nusrɔ̃lawo ƒo abolo kakɛ siwo susɔ la nu ƒu, woyɔ kusi adre.
and they did eat and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces — seven baskets;
9 Ame siwo ɖu nua la ƒe xexlẽme anɔ akpe ene. Yesu do mɔ wo le nua ɖuɖu vɔ megbe.
and those eating were about four thousand. And he let them away,
10 Le nu siawo megbe la, Yesu ge ɖe ʋu la me enumake kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo, wova ɖi go ɖe Dalmanuta nuto me.
and immediately having entered into the boat with his disciples, he came to the parts of Dalmanutha,
11 Farisitɔ siwo nɔ afi ma la se be Yesu va ɖo teƒea ale woyi be yewoahe nya kplii. Wova gblɔ nɛ be, “Wɔ dzesi aɖe tso dziƒo fifia míakpɔ, ekema míaxɔ dziwò se.”
and the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking from him a sign from the heaven, tempting him;
12 Yesu ɖe hũu le eƒe gbɔgbɔ la me hegblɔ na wo be, “Nyemawɔ naneke o. Vavã mele egblɔm na mi bena womele dzesi ɖeka na ge dzidzime sia o.”
and having sighed deeply in his spirit, he saith, 'Why doth this generation seek after a sign? Verily I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.'
13 Yesu dzo le wo gbɔ, hetrɔ ge ɖe ʋu la me, eye wòtso ƒu la heyi ɖe go kemɛ dzi.
And having left them, having entered again into the boat, he went away to the other side;
14 Hafi woadzo la, nusrɔ̃lawo ŋlɔ be wometsɔ nuɖuɖu ɖe asi o, evɔ abolo ɖeka koe susɔ ɖe wo si.
and they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat,
15 Esi wonɔ ƒua dzi yina la, Yesu xlɔ̃ nu wo be, “Mikpɔ nyuie le Herod kple Farisitɔwo ƒe amɔʋãnu la ŋu.”
and he was charging them, saying, 'Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,'
16 Nusrɔ̃lawo bia wo nɔewo be, “Nya sia gɔme ɖe?” Mlɔeba la, eva dze na wo abe nuɖuɖu si woŋlɔ be la ŋuti Yesu nɔ nu ƒom le ene.
and they were reasoning with one another, saying — 'Because we have no loaves.'
17 Yesu nya nya si gblɔm wonɔ, ale wògblɔ na wo be, “Gbeɖe, menye nu si bum miele la gblɔm mele o! Nu ka ta mietea ŋu sea nu gɔme o ɖo? Ɖe miaƒe dziwo ku atri nenema gbegbe be miate ŋu ase nu gɔme oa?
And Jesus having known, saith to them, 'Why do ye reason, because ye have no loaves? do ye not yet perceive, nor understand, yet have ye your heart hardened?
18 Miaƒe ŋkuwo la, nu wobe miakpɔ kpli wo, ke nu ka ta miekpɔa nu o? Nu ka ta miate ŋu aʋu miaƒe towo ase nu o ɖo? Mieɖo ŋku naneke dzi kura oa?
Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? and do ye not remember?
19 “Mieɖo ŋku edzi be menyi ame akpe atɔ̃ oa? Nuɖuɖu wuwlui kusi neni miefɔ emegbe?” Woɖo eŋu nɛ be “Wuieve sɔŋ.”
When the five loaves I did brake to the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' they say to him, 'Twelve.'
20 Egabia wo be, “Esi menyi ame akpe ene kple abolo adre ɖe, abolo kusi nenie susɔ?” Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Kusi adre.”
'And when the seven to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' and they said, 'Seven.'
21 Azɔ egblɔ na wo be, “Ɖe miaƒe dziwo ku atri nenema gbegbe be miate ŋu ase nu gɔme oa?”
And he said to them, 'How do ye not understand?'
22 Azɔ esi wova ɖo Betsaida la, ame aɖewo kplɔ ŋkunɔ aɖe vɛ nɛ, eye woɖe kuku nɛ be wòayɔ dɔe.
And he cometh to Bethsaida, and they bring to him one blind, and call upon him that he may touch him,
23 Yesu lé ŋkunɔ la ƒe alɔnu, eye wòkplɔe do goe le dua me. Eɖe ta ɖe eƒe ŋkuwo dzi, eye wòda asi ɖe wo dzi. Azɔ ebia ŋkunɔ la be, “Ète ŋu le nu kpɔma?”
and having taken the hand of the blind man, he led him forth without the village, and having spit on his eyes, having put [his] hands on him, he was questioning him if he doth behold anything:
24 Ame la tsa ŋku godoo, eye wòɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, mele amewo kpɔm, gake nyemele wo kpɔm nyuie o, wodze abe atiwoe le zɔzɔm ene!”
and he, having looked up, said, 'I behold men, as I see trees, walking.'
25 Yesu gaɖo asi ame la ƒe ŋkuwo dzi ake, ke fifia la, eƒe ŋkuawo ʋu nyuie, eye wònɔ nu kpɔm nyuie.
Afterwards again he put [his] hands on his eyes, and made him look up, and he was restored, and discerned all things clearly,
26 Yesu ɖoe ɖe eƒe ƒometɔwo gbɔ, eye wòde se nɛ be, “Mègato kɔƒea me hafi nàyi o.”
and he sent him away to his house, saying, 'Neither to the village mayest thou go, nor tell [it] to any in the village.'
27 Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dzo le Galilea heyi Kaisarea Filipi kɔƒewo me. Esi wozɔ yina la, Yesu bia nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Ame ka amewo bu be menye? Aleke wole gbɔgblɔm tso ŋunye?”
And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and in the way he was questioning his disciples, saying to them, 'Who do men say me to be?'
28 Nusrɔ̃lawo ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ame aɖewo bu be Yohanes Mawutsidetanamelae nènye, eye bubuwo gblɔ be Eliya alo Mawu ƒe Nyagblɔɖila xoxoawo dometɔ ɖekae nènye gava dzɔ.”
And they answered, 'John the Baptist, and others Elijah, but others one of the prophets.'
29 Ke ebia woawo ŋutɔ be, “Ame ka miawo ya miebu be menye?” Petro ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Wòe nye Kristo la!”
And he saith to them, 'And ye — who do ye say me to be?' and Peter answering saith to him, 'Thou art the Christ.'
30 Ke Yesu de se na wo be womegana ame aɖeke nanya esia o!
And he strictly charged them that they may tell no one about it,
31 Azɔ Yesu de asi nufiafia wo me be edze be Amegbetɔ Vi la nakpe fu geɖewo. Egblɔ na wo be dumegãwo kple nunɔlagãwo agbe nu le ye gbɔ. Sefialawo hã agbe ye, eye woawu ye, gake yeagafɔ le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe.
and began to teach them, that it behoveth the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise again;
32 Yesu ƒo nu na wo faa le nya siawo ŋu, meɣla naneke ɖe wo o, eya ta Petro yɔe ɖe kpɔe heka mo nɛ be, “Mele be nànɔ nya sia ƒomevi gblɔm o.”
and openly he was speaking the word. And Peter having taken him aside, began to rebuke him,
33 Yesu trɔ kɔ kpɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo, eye wògblɔ na Petro adãtɔe be, “Wò Satana, te ɖa le gbɔnye elabena èle nu siawo kpɔm le amegbetɔ ƒe susu nu, ke menye le Mawu tɔ nu o.”
and he, having turned, and having looked on his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, 'Get behind me, Adversary, because thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.'
34 Azɔ eyɔ nusrɔ̃lawo kple amehawo ƒo ƒu be woaɖo to ye. Egblɔ na wo be, “Ne mia dometɔ aɖe di be yeadze yonyeme la, ele be wòaɖe asi le nu siwo katã doa dzidzɔ nɛ la ŋu, wòakɔ eƒe atitsoga akplɔm ɖo.
And having called near the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, 'Whoever doth will to come after me — let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me;
35 Ne miedi kokoko be miaɖe miaƒe agbe la, miabui boŋ. Ame siwo tsɔ woƒe agbe ɖo anyi le nye nyanyui la ta la, atsi agbe boŋ.
for whoever may will to save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake and for the good news' sake, he shall save it;
36 “Viɖe ka wòanye na ame be xexea me katã nazu etɔ, gake wòabu eƒe agbe to xexemenuwo didi me?
for what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
37 Nane gaxɔ asi wu eya ŋutɔ ƒe luʋɔ le xexe sia mea?
Or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?
38 Le ŋkeke siawo me, esi dzimaxɔse kple nu vɔ̃ bɔ alea la, ame si nye kple nye nyawo akpe ŋu na la, Amegbetɔ Vi la akpe ŋu eya hã nenye be etrɔ va le Fofoa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe la me kple eƒe mawudɔla kɔkɔeawo.”
for whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also shall be ashamed of him, when he may come in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.'
