Marko 9
1 Yesu yi edzi gblɔ na eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Nyateƒe gblɔm mele na mi be, mia dometɔ aɖewo, siwo le afi sia la anɔ agbe va se ɖe esime mawufiaɖuƒe la nava le ŋusẽ gã aɖe me.”
And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
2 Le ŋkeke ade megbe la, Yesu kplɔ Petro, Yakobo kple Yohanes woyi to kɔkɔ aɖe tame. Ame aɖeke menɔ teƒe sia o. Esi woɖo afi ma teti ko la, Yesu ƒe mo de asi keklẽ me kple ŋutikɔkɔe,
And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter, and James, and John, and leads them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
3 eye eƒe awu si wòdo la trɔ fu tititi. Awu la fu ale gbegbe be, naneke mele xexea me ate ŋu awɔe wòafu nenema o.
And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no launderer on earth can white them.
4 Azɔ Eliya kple Mose wova do ɖe Yesu gbɔ, wode asi dzeɖoɖo me kplii.
And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Petro gblɔ na Yesu be, “Nufiala, enyo na mí be míanɔ afi sia. Mína míatu agbadɔ etɔ̃, ɖeka na wò, ɖeka na Mose, eye ɖeka na Eliya.”
And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
6 (Egblɔ esia, elabena menya nu si wòagblɔ o, wovɔ̃ ŋutɔ.)
For he knows not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
7 Esi Petro nɔ nya siawo gblɔm la, lilikpo aɖe va tsyɔ wo dzi, hexe ɣe la ŋkume. Gbe aɖe ɖi tso lilikpo la me be, “Esia nye vinye lɔlɔ̃a. Miɖo toe.”
And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
8 Kasia, nusrɔ̃la etɔ̃awo megakpɔ ame aɖeke le wo gbɔ o, negbe Yesu ɖeka ko, elabena Mose kple Eliya wodzo.
And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
9 Esi wonɔ ɖiɖim tso toa dzi gbɔna la, Yesu de se na nusrɔ̃lawo vevie be womegagblɔ nu si teƒe wokpɔ la na ame aɖeke o, negbe le Amegbetɔ Vi la ƒe tsitretsitsi tso ame kukuwo dome megbe ko.
And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
10 Ale nusrɔ̃lawo ɣla nya siawo ɖe woƒe dziwo me, gake zi geɖe la, woƒoa nu le eŋu, eye wobua ta me vevie le nu si tututu Yesu gblɔna be, “Tsitretsitsi tso ame kukuwo dome” la ŋu.
And they kept that saying (logos) with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
11 Wobiae be, “Nu ka ta agbalẽfialawo nɔa gbɔgblɔm be ele be Eliya nava gbã ɖo?”
And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elijah must first come?
12 Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Le nyateƒe me la, Eliya va xoxo, eye wòɖɔ nuwo katã ɖo. Azɔ nu ka ta woŋlɔe ɖi le Amegbetɔ Vi la ŋu be, akpe fu geɖe, eye woagbe nu le egbɔ ɖo?
And he answered and told them, Elijah verily comes first, and restores all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nothing.
13 Ke mele egblɔm na mi be, Eliya va, wowɔ nu sia nu si wodi be yewoawɔe la abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖi la ene.”
But I say unto you, That Elijah is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
14 Esi wova ɖo toa te la, wokpɔ be ameha gã aɖe ƒo xlã nusrɔ̃la mamlɛawo, eye Yudatɔwo ƒe agbalẽfialawo nɔ nya hem kpli wo.
And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
15 Esi ameha la kpɔ Yesu la, vɔvɔ̃ ɖo wo, ke woƒu du yi egbɔ be yewoado gbe nɛ.
And immediately all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
16 Yesu bia wo be, “Nya ka tututu hem miele?”
And he asked the scribes, What question all of you with them?
17 Ame ɖeka le ameawo dome do ɣli gblɔ be, “Nufiala meɖe kuku, vinyee mekplɔ vɛ na wò be nàda gbe le eŋu nam. Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ aɖe le eme si wɔe be mete ŋu ƒoa nu o.
And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto you my son, which has a dumb spirit; (pneuma)
18 Nyateƒe ne gbɔgbɔ baɖa sia dze edzi la, ekɔnɛ xlãna ɖe anyi ŋɔdzitɔe, eye futukpɔ dona le enu, eɖua aɖukli, eye eƒe lãme liana kakoo. Meɖe kuku na wò nusrɔ̃lawo be woanya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la le eme, gake womete ŋui o.”
And where ever he takes him, he tears him: and he foams, and gnashes with his teeth, and pins away: and I spoke to your disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
19 Yesu trɔ ɖe nusrɔ̃lawo ŋu hegblɔ na wo be, “O! Mi xɔse ʋɛtɔ siawo, ŋkeke neni wòle be manɔ anyi kpli mi hafi miaxɔ dzinye ase? Aleke gbegbe magbɔ dzi ɖi na mi? Mikplɔ ɖevi la vɛ nam.”
He answers him, and says, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
20 Ale wokplɔ ɖevi la yi na Yesu, gake kaka wòakpɔ Yesu ko la, gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la xlãe ɖe anyigba sesĩe; eƒo dablibɛ le anyigba, eye futukpɔ hã nɔ dodom le enu.
And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, immediately the spirit (pneuma) tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
21 Yesu bia ɖevia fofo be, “Tso ɣe ka ɣi ke wòle dɔ sia lém?” Fofoa ɖo eŋu be, “Tso keke eƒe ɖevime ke.
And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
22 Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ sia nana wòdzea dzo me alo tsi me, eye wòdi kokoko be yeawui. Ao! Meɖe kuku kpɔ míaƒe nublanui, ne àte ŋui la, nàwɔ nane tso eŋuti na mí.”
And frequently it has cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if you can do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
23 Yesu gabiae be, “Ɖe nègblɔ be ne mate ŋuia? Nu sia nu wɔwɔ le bɔbɔe ne èxɔe se ko.”
Jesus said unto him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes.
24 Fofoa ɖo eŋu enumake be, “Xɔse le asinye. Ao, ve nunye be nye xɔse sia nadzi ɖe edzi!”
And immediately the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help you mine unbelief.
25 Yesu kpɔ be ameha la nɔ agbɔ sɔm ɖe edzi, eya ta eɖe gbe na gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la be, “Gbɔgbɔ maƒonu, tokunɔ gbɔgbɔ, meɖe gbe na wò be, nàdo go le ɖevi sia me fifi laa, mèkpɔ mɔ agage ɖe eme azɔ o.”
When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, (pneuma) saying unto him, You dumb and deaf spirit, (pneuma) I charge you, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la do ɣli sesĩe, ganyama ɖevi la nublanuitɔe, hedo go le eme. Azɔ ɖevi la fa miamiamia ɖe anyigba, heli kpoo abe ɖe wòku ene. Ale ameawo katã gblɔ be eku.
And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 Ke Yesu lé eƒe alɔnu, na wòtsi tsitre, eye nukutɔe la, eƒe lãme sẽ.
But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
28 Azɔ esi Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo ɖeɖe wonɔ aƒe si me wodze la, nusrɔ̃lawo biae be, “Nu ka ta míawo míete ŋu nya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la do goe o ɖo?”
And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
29 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Nu siawo ƒomevi wɔwɔ hiã gbedodoɖa kple nutsitsidɔ.”
And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
30 Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dzo le afi ma, eye woɖo ta Galilea nuto me. Yesu dze agbagba vevie be amewo nagakpɔ ye o,
And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.
31 edi be yeakpɔ ɣeyiɣi geɖe afia nu yeƒe nusrɔ̃lawo. Zi geɖe ne ele nu fiam wo la, egblɔna na wo be, “Woade Amegbetɔ Vi la asi, woawui, gake le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe la, magatsi tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome.”
For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.
32 Nusrɔ̃lawo mete ŋu se nya siawo gɔme o, gake ale si woawɔ abiae la hã zu dɔ; wonɔ vɔvɔ̃m.
But they understood not that saying, (rhema) and were afraid to ask him.
33 Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va ɖo Kapernaum. Esi wova ɖo aƒe si me wodze me la, Yesu bia nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Esi míenɔ mɔa dzi gbɔna ɖe, nya ka ʋlim mienɔ?”
And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that all of you disputed among yourselves by the way?
34 Nyateƒe, nya sia ŋu ɖoɖo sesẽ na nusrɔ̃lawo, elabena nya si hem wonɔ la ku ɖe ame si nye wo katã ƒe amegã la ŋu.
But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
35 Yesu nɔ anyi, yɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo ƒo ƒu, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Ame si di be yeanye mi katã ƒe amegã la, ele nɛ be wòanye suetɔ kekeake gbã, ɛ̃, ele be wòanye mi katã ƒe subɔla!”
And he sat down, and called the twelve, and says unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
36 Azɔ ekplɔ ɖevi sue aɖe va wo titinae, kɔe ɖe eƒe abɔwo dome, eye wògblɔ na wo be,
And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
37 “Ame si axɔ ɖevi sue aɖe abe esia ene le nye ŋkɔ me la, nyee nye ema wòxɔ, eye ame si axɔm la, menye nyee wòxɔ o, ke boŋ Fofonye si dɔm lae wòxɔ!”
Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receives me: and whosoever shall receive me, receives not me, but him that sent me.
38 Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka si woyɔna be Yohanes la gblɔ nɛ be, “Nufiala, míekpɔ ame aɖe si tsɔ wò ŋkɔ nɔ gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo nyamee le amewo me. Ale míegbe nɛ be megawɔe o, elabena menye mía dometɔ ɖeka wònye o.”
And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in your name, and he follows not us: and we forbad him, because he follows not us.
39 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Migagbe nɛ o, elabena ame si le nukunu aɖe wɔm le nye ŋkɔ dzi la, mate ŋu anye nye futɔ o.
But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
40 Ame si metsi tsitre ɖe mía ŋu o la, ele míaƒe akpa dzi.
For he that is not against us is on our part.
41 Yesu yi edzi be, ‘Vavã mele egblɔm na mi bena, ne ame aɖe na tsi kplu ɖeka mi be miano elabena mienye Kristo tɔ la, ame sia mabu fetu si wòaxɔ la o.’
For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because all of you belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
42 “Gake ne ame aɖe awɔe be ɖevi sue siawo dometɔ ɖeka nabu xɔse si le esi ɖe ŋunye la, ne wotsi kpe gã aɖe ɖe kɔ nɛ hekɔe ƒu gbe ɖe atsiaƒu me la, anyo nɛ wu sãa.
And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
43 Ne wò asi nana be nèwɔa nu vɔ̃ la, lãe ɖa. Enyo na wò be nàge ɖe mawufiaɖuƒe la me kple asikpo wu be asi eve nanɔ ŋuwò nàyi dzomavɔʋe me, afi si dzo metsina le o. [ (Geenna g1067)
And if your hand offend you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life physically disabled, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: (Geenna g1067)
44 Afi si, “‘woƒe nye mekuna le o, eye dzo la hã metsina le o.]’
Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
45 Ne wò afɔ nana be nèwɔa nu vɔ̃ la, lãe ɖa. Enyo na wò be nàge ɖe agbe la me kple afɔkpo wu esi afɔ eve nanɔ asiwò, woakɔ wò aƒu gbe ɖe dzomavɔʋe la me. [ (Geenna g1067)
And if your foot offend you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: (Geenna g1067)
46 Afi si, “‘woƒe nye mekuna le o, eye dzo la hã metsina le o.]’
Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
47 Nenye be wò ŋkue nana be nèwɔa nu vɔ̃ la, hoe le etome. Enyo na wò be nàyi mawufiaɖuƒe la me kple ŋku ɖeka wu be nàyi dzomavɔʋe la me kple ŋku eve, (Geenna g1067)
And if your eye offend you, pluck it out: it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: (Geenna g1067)
48 afi si, “‘woƒe nyẽ mekuna le o, eye dzo la hã metsina le o.’
Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
49 Eye woatsɔ dzo bibi ade dze ame sia ame wòatee.”
For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
50 Yesu wu eƒe nuƒo la nu be, “Dze nye nu vevi aɖe, gake nenye be dze bu eƒe vivi la, womagate ŋu atsɔe ade naneke o; meganyo na naneke o, migabu vivi si le mia me la o! Minɔ anyi kple amewo katã le ŋutifafa me.”
Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltiness, wherewith will all of you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
