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 to them, “Truly I say to you that there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death until they see the Kingdom of God having come in 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 Peter, and James, and John, and brings them up to a high mountain by themselves, alone, 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 garments became glittering, exceedingly white, as snow, so as a launderer on the earth is not able to whiten [them].
4 Azɔ Eliya kple Mose wova do ɖe Yesu gbɔ, wode asi dzeɖoɖo me kplii.
And there appeared to 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 answering says to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three shelters, for You one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one”:
6 (Egblɔ esia, elabena menya nu si wòagblɔ o, wovɔ̃ ŋutɔ.)
for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly 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 came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved, hear Him”;
8 Kasia, nusrɔ̃la etɔ̃awo megakpɔ ame aɖeke le wo gbɔ o, negbe Yesu ɖeka ko, elabena Mose kple Eliya wodzo.
and suddenly, having looked around, they saw no one anymore, but 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 are coming down from the mountain, He charged them that they may declare to no one the things that they saw, except when the Son of Man may rise out of 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 the thing they kept to themselves, questioning together what the rising out of the dead is.
11 Wobiae be, “Nu ka ta agbalẽfialawo nɔa gbɔgblɔm be ele be Eliya nava gbã ɖo?”
And they were questioning Him, saying that the scribes say that Elijah must come first.
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 answering said to them, “Elijah indeed, having come first, restores all things; and how has it been written concerning the Son of Man, that He may 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 to you that also Elijah has come, and they did to him what they willed, as it has been 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 having come to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and 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 multitude having seen Him, were amazed, and running near, were greeting Him.
16 Yesu bia wo be, “Nya ka tututu hem miele?”
And He questioned the scribes, “What do you dispute 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 out of the multitude answering said, “Teacher, I brought my son to You, having a mute spirit;
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 wherever it seizes him, it tears him, and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and pines away; and I spoke to Your disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not able.”
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.”
And He answering him, said, “O generation unbelieving, until when will I be with you? Until when will I suffer you? Bring him to 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 to Him, and he having seen Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he, having fallen on the earth, was wallowing—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 questioned his father, “How much time is it since this came to him?” And he said, “From childhood,
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 many times it also cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if You are able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.”
23 Yesu gabiae be, “Ɖe nègblɔ be ne mate ŋuia? Nu sia nu wɔwɔ le bɔbɔe ne èxɔe se ko.”
And Jesus said to him, “If you are able to believe! All things are possible to the one that is believing”;
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, having cried out with tears, said, “I believe, Lord; be helping my 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.”
Jesus having seen that a multitude runs together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Spirit—mute and deaf—I charge you, come forth out of him, and you may no longer enter 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 having cried, and convulsed him much, it came forth, and he became as dead, so that many said that he was dead,
27 Ke Yesu lé eƒe alɔnu, na wòtsi tsitre, eye nukutɔe la, eƒe lãme sẽ.
but Jesus, having taken him by the hand, 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 He having come into the house, His disciples were questioning Him by Himself, “Why were we not able to cast it forth?”
29 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Nu siawo ƒomevi wɔwɔ hiã gbedodoɖa kple nutsitsidɔ.”
And He said to them, “This kind is able to come forth with nothing except with 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 having gone forth there, they were passing through Galilee, and He did not wish that any may know,
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 was teaching His disciples, and He said to them, “The Son of Man is being delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him, and having been killed, the third day He will rise,”
32 Nusrɔ̃lawo mete ŋu se nya siawo gɔme o, gake ale si woawɔ abiae la hã zu dɔ; wonɔ vɔvɔ̃m.
but they were not understanding the saying, and they were afraid to question 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 was questioning them, “What were you reasoning in the way among yourselves?”
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.
And they were silent, for they reasoned with one another in the way who is greater;
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 having sat down He called the Twelve, and He says to them, “If any wills to be first, he will be last of all, and minister of all.”
36 Azɔ ekplɔ ɖevi sue aɖe va wo titinae, kɔe ɖe eƒe abɔwo dome, eye wògblɔ na wo be,
And having taken a child, He set him in the midst of them, and having taken him in His arms, said to 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!”
“Whoever may receive one of such children in My Name, receives Me, and whoever may receive Me, does not receive Me, but Him who 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, “Teacher, we saw a certain one casting out demons in Your Name, who does not follow us, and we forbade him, because he does not follow 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.
And Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in My Name, and will be readily able to speak evil of Me:
40 Ame si metsi tsitre ɖe mía ŋu o la, ele míaƒe akpa dzi.
for he who is not against us is for us;
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 whoever may give you to drink a cup of water in My Name, because you are Christ’s, truly I say to you, he may 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 whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in Me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged around his neck, and he has been 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 may cause you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life maimed, than having the two hands, to go away into Gehenna, into the fire—the unquenchable— (Geenna g1067)
44 Afi si, “‘woƒe nye mekuna le o, eye dzo la hã metsina le o.]’
[[where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being 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 may cause you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life lame, than having the two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire—the unquenchable— (Geenna g1067)
46 Afi si, “‘woƒe nye mekuna le o, eye dzo la hã metsina le o.]’
[[where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being 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 may cause you to stumble, cast it out; it is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God one-eyed, than having two eyes, to be cast into the Gehenna of fire— (Geenna g1067)
48 afi si, “‘woƒe nyẽ mekuna le o, eye dzo la hã metsina le o.’
where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched;
49 Eye woatsɔ dzo bibi ade dze ame sia ame wòatee.”
for everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will 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.”
The salt [is] good, but if the salt may become saltless, in what will you season [it]? Have in yourselves salt, and have peace in one another.”
