Luke 9
1 Ó sì pe àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ méjìlá jọ, ó sì fún wọn ní agbára àti àṣẹ lórí àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù gbogbo, àti láti wo ààrùn sàn.
Then calling the Twelve together He conferred on them power and authority over all the demons and to cure diseases;
2 Ó sì rán wọn lọ wàásù ìjọba Ọlọ́run, àti láti mú àwọn ọlọkùnrùn láradá.
and sent them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to cure the sick.
3 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ má ṣe mú nǹkan lọ́wọ́ fún àjò yín, ọ̀pá, tàbí àpò tàbí àkàrà, tàbí owó, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ẹ̀yin má sì ṣe ní ẹ̀wù méjì.
And He commanded them, "Take nothing for your journey; neither stick nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have an extra under garment.
4 Ní ilékílé tí ẹ̀yin bá sì wọ̀, níbẹ̀ ni kí ẹ̀yin gbé, láti ibẹ̀ ni kí ẹ̀yin sì ti jáde.
Whatever house you enter, make that your home, and from it start afresh.
5 Iye àwọn tí kò bá si gbà yín, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá jáde kúrò ní ìlú náà, ẹ gbọn eruku ẹsẹ̀ yín fún ẹ̀rí sí wọn.”
Wherever they refuse to receive you, as you leave that town shake off the very dust from your feet as a protest against them."
6 Wọ́n sì lọ, wọ́n ń la ìletò kọjá wọ́n sì ń wàásù ìyìnrere, wọ́n sì ń mú ènìyàn láradá níbi gbogbo.
So they departed and visited village after village, spreading the Good News and performing cures everywhere.
7 Herodu tetrarki gbọ́ nǹkan gbogbo èyí tí a ṣe láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ wá: ó sì dààmú, nítorí tí àwọn ẹlòmíràn ń wí pé, Johanu ni ó jíǹde kúrò nínú òkú,
Now Herod the Tetrarch heard of all that was going on; and he was bewildered because of its being said by some that John had come back to life,
8 Àwọn ẹlòmíràn sì wí pé Elijah ni ó farahàn; àwọn ẹlòmíràn sì wí pé, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn wòlíì àtijọ́ ni ó jíǹde.
by others that Elijah had appeared, and by others that some one of the ancient Prophets had come back to life.
9 Herodu sì wí pé, “Johanu ni mo ti bẹ́ lórí, ṣùgbọ́n ta ni èyí tí èmi ń gbọ́ irú nǹkan wọ̀nyí sí?” Ó sì ń fẹ́ láti rí i.
And Herod said, "John I have beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such reports?" And he sought for an opportunity of seeing Jesus.
10 Nígbà tí àwọn aposteli sì padà dé, wọ́n ròyìn ohun gbogbo fún un tí wọ́n ti ṣe. Ó sì mú wọn, lọ sí apá kan níbi tí a ń pè ní Betisaida.
The Apostles, on their return, related to Jesus all they had done. Then He took them and withdrew to a quiet retreat, to a town called Bethsaida.
11 Nígbà tí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn sì mọ̀, wọ́n tẹ̀lé e: ó sì gbà wọ́n, ó sì sọ̀rọ̀ ìjọba Ọlọ́run fún wọn; àwọn tí ó fẹ́ ìmúláradá, ni ó sì mú láradá.
But the immense crowd, aware of this, followed Him; and receiving them kindly He proceeded to speak to them of the Kingdom of God, and those who needed to be restored to health, He cured.
12 Nígbà tí ọjọ́ bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí rọlẹ̀, àwọn méjìlá wá, wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Tú ìjọ ènìyàn ká, kí wọn lè lọ sí ìletò àti sí ìlú yíká, kí wọn lè wò, àti kí wọn lè wá oúnjẹ: nítorí ijù ni àwa sá wà níhìn-ín.”
Now when the day began to decline, the Twelve came to Him and said, "Send the people away, that they may go to the villages and farms round about and find lodging and a supply of food; because here we are in an uninhabited district."
13 Ṣùgbọ́n ó wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ fi oúnjẹ fún wọn jẹ!” Wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Àwa kò ní ju ìṣù àkàrà márùn-ún lọ, pẹ̀lú ẹja méjì: bí kò ṣe pé àwa lọ ra oúnjẹ fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí.”
"You yourselves," He said, "must give them food." "We have nothing," they replied, "but five loaves and a couple of fish, unless indeed we were to go and buy provisions for all this host of people."
14 Nítorí àwọn ọkùnrin náà tó ìwọ̀n ẹgbẹ̀rún márùn-ún ènìyàn. Ó sì wí fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pé, “Kí wọ́n mú wọn jókòó lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ̀gbẹ́, ní àràádọ́ta.”
(For there were about 5,000 adult men.) But He said to His disciples, "Make them sit down in parties of about fifty each."
15 Wọ́n sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, wọ́n sì mú gbogbo wọn jókòó.
They did so, making them all, without exception, sit down.
16 Nígbà náà ni ó mú ìṣù àkàrà márùn-ún, àti ẹja méjì náà, nígbà tí ó gbé ojú sókè ọ̀run, ó súre sí i, ó sì bù ú, ó sì fi fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀, kí wọn gbé e kalẹ̀ níwájú àwọn ènìyàn.
Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to Heaven He blessed them and broke them into portions which He gave to the disciples to distribute to the people.
17 Wọ́n sì jẹ, gbogbo wọn sì yó: wọ́n ṣa agbọ̀n méjìlá jọ nínú àjẹkù tí ó kù.
So they ate and were fully satisfied, all of them; and what they had remaining over was gathered up, twelve baskets of fragments.
18 Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí ó ku òun nìkan ó gbàdúrà, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ sì wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀: ó sì bi wọ́n pé, “Ta ni àwọn ènìyàn ń fi mí pè?”
One day when He was praying by Himself the disciples were present; and He asked them, "Who do the people say that I am?"
19 Wọ́n sì dáhùn wí pé, “Johanu Onítẹ̀bọmi; ṣùgbọ́n ẹlòmíràn ní Elijah ni, àti àwọn ẹlòmíràn wí pé, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn wòlíì àtijọ́ ni ó jíǹde.”
"John the Baptist," they replied; "but others say Elijah; and others that some one of the ancient Prophets has come back to life."
20 Ó sì bi wọ́n pé, “Ṣùgbọ́n ta ni ẹ̀yin ń fi èmi pè?” Peteru sì dáhùn, wí pe, “Kristi ti Ọlọ́run.”
"But you," He asked, "who do you say that I am?" "God's Anointed One," replied Peter.
21 Ó sì kìlọ̀ fún wọn, pé, kí wọn má ṣe sọ èyí fún ẹnìkan.
And Jesus strictly forbad them to tell this to any one;
22 Ó sì wí pé, “Ọmọ ènìyàn yóò jìyà ohun púpọ̀, a ó sì kọ̀ ọ́ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn alàgbà, olórí àlùfáà àti láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn akọ̀wé, a ó sì pa á, ní ọjọ́ kẹta a ó sì jí i dìde.”
and He said, "The Son of Man must suffer much cruelty, be rejected by the Elders and High Priests and Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised to life again."
23 Ó sì wí fún gbogbo wọn pé, “Bí ẹnìkan bá ń fẹ́ láti máa tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn, kí ó sẹ́ ara rẹ̀, kí ó sì gbé àgbélébùú rẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ gbogbo, kí ó sì máa tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn.
And He said to all, "If any one is desirous of following me, let him ignore self and take up his cross day by day, and so be my follower.
24 Nítorí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá fẹ́ gba ọkàn rẹ̀ là, yóò sọ ọ́ nù: ṣùgbọ́n ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sọ ọkàn rẹ̀ nù nítorí mi, òun náà ni yóò sì gbà á là.
For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake shall save it.
25 Nítorí pé èrè kín ni fún ènìyàn, bí ó jèrè gbogbo ayé, tí ó sì sọ ara rẹ̀ nù tàbí kí ó fi ṣòfò.
Why, what benefit is it to a man to have gained the whole world, but to have lost or forfeited his own self.
26 Nítorí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá tijú mi, àti ọ̀rọ̀ mi, òun ni Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò tijú rẹ̀ nígbà tí ó bá dé inú ògo tirẹ̀, àti ti baba rẹ̀, àti ti àwọn angẹli mímọ́.
For whoever shall have been ashamed of me and my teachings, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own and the Father's glory and in that of the holy angels.
27 “Ṣùgbọ́n èmi wí fún yín nítòótọ́, ẹlòmíràn dúró níhìn-ín yìí, tí kì yóò rí ikú, títí wọn ó fi rí ìjọba Ọlọ́run.”
I tell you truly that there are some of those who stand here who will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Kingdom of God."
28 Ó sì ṣe bí ìwọ̀n ọjọ́ mẹ́jọ lẹ́yìn ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí, ó mú Peteru àti Johanu àti Jakọbu, ó gun orí òkè lọ láti lọ gbàdúrà.
It was about eight days after this that Jesus, taking with Him Peter, John, and James, went up the mountain to pray.
29 Bí ó sì ti ń gbàdúrà, àwọ̀ ojú rẹ̀ yípadà, aṣọ rẹ̀ sì funfun gbòò,
And while He was praying the appearance of His face underwent a change, and His clothing became white and radiant.
30 Sì kíyèsi i, àwọn ọkùnrin méjì, Mose àti Elijah, wọ́n ń bá a sọ̀rọ̀,
And suddenly there were two men conversing with Him, who were Moses and Elijah.
31 tí wọ́n fi ara hàn nínú ògo, wọ́n sì ń sọ̀rọ̀ ikú rẹ̀, tí òun yóò ṣe parí ní Jerusalẹmu.
They came in glory, and kept speaking about His death, which He was so soon to undergo in Jerusalem.
32 Ṣùgbọ́n ojú Peteru àti ti àwọn tí ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ wúwo fún oorun. Nígbà tí wọ́n sì tají, wọ́n rí ògo rẹ̀, àti ti àwọn ọkùnrin méjèèjì tí ó bá a dúró.
Now Peter and the others were weighed down with sleep; but, keeping themselves awake all through, they saw His glory, and the two men standing with Him.
33 Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí wọ́n lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, Peteru wí fún Jesu pé, “Olùkọ́, ó dára fún wa kí a máa gbé ìhín yìí, jẹ́ kí àwa pa àgọ́ mẹ́ta, ọ̀kan fún ìwọ, àti ọ̀kan fún Mose, àti ọ̀kan fún Elijah.” (Kò mọ èyí tí òun ń wí.)
And when they were preparing to depart from Him, Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, we are thankful to you that we are here. Let us put up three tents--one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." He did not know what he was saying.
34 Bí ó ti ń sọ báyìí, ìkùùkuu kan wá, ó síji bò wọ́n: ẹ̀rù sì bà wọ́n nígbà tí wọ́n ń wọ inú ìkùùkuu lọ.
But while he was thus speaking, there came a cloud which spread over them; and they were awe-struck when they had entered into the cloud.
35 Ohùn kan sì ti inú ìkùùkuu wá wí pé, “Èyí yìí ni àyànfẹ́ ọmọ mi: ẹ máa gbọ́ tirẹ̀.”
Then there came a voice from within the cloud: "This is My Son, My Chosen One: listen to Him."
36 Nígbà tí ohùn náà sì dákẹ́, Jesu nìkan ṣoṣo ni a rí. Wọ́n sì pa á mọ́, wọn kò sì sọ ohunkóhun tí wọ́n rí fún ẹnikẹ́ni ní ọjọ́ wọ̀nyí.
After this voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They kept it to themselves, and said not a word to any one at that time about what they had seen.
37 Ó sì ṣe, ní ọjọ́ kejì, nígbà tí wọ́n sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá láti orí òkè, ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn wá pàdé rẹ̀.
On the following day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great crowd came to meet Him;
38 Sì kíyèsi i, ọkùnrin kan nínú ìjọ ènìyàn kígbe sókè pé, “Olùkọ́ mo bẹ̀ ọ́, wo ọmọ mi: nítorí ọmọ mi kan ṣoṣo náà ni.
and a man from the crowd called out, "Rabbi, I beg you to pity my son, for he is my only child.
39 Sì kíyèsi i, ẹ̀mí èṣù a máa mú un, a sì máa kígbe lójijì; a sì máa nà án tàntàn títí yóò fi yọ ìfófó lẹ́nu, a máa pa á lára, kì í tilẹ̀ ń fẹ́ fi í sílẹ̀ lọ.
At times a spirit seizes him and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him, and makes him foam at the mouth, and does not leave him till it has well-nigh covered him with bruises.
40 Mo sì bẹ àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ láti lé e jáde: wọn kò sì lè ṣe é.”
I entreated your disciples to expel the spirit, but they could not."
41 Jesu sì dáhùn pé, “Ìran aláìgbàgbọ́ àti àrékérekè, èmi ó ti bá yín gbé pẹ́ tó? Èmi yóò sì ti ṣe sùúrù fún yín pẹ́ tó? Fa ọmọ rẹ wá níhìn-ín yìí.”
"O unbelieving and perverse generation!" replied Jesus; "how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here to me."
42 Bí ó sì ti ń bọ̀, ẹ̀mí èṣù náà gbé e ṣánlẹ̀, ó sì nà án tàntàn. Jesu sì bá ẹ̀mí àìmọ́ náà wí, ó sì mú ọmọ náà láradá, ó sì fà á lé baba rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́.
Now while the youth was coming, the spirit dashed him to the ground and cruelly convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured the youth and gave him back to his father.
43 Ẹnu sì ya gbogbo wọn sí iṣẹ́ títóbi Ọlọ́run, ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí hà sì ń ṣe gbogbo wọn sí ohun gbogbo tí Jesu ṣe, ó wí fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pé,
And all were awe-struck at the mighty power of God. And while every one was expressing wonder at all that He was doing, He said to his disciples,
44 “Ẹ jẹ́ kí ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí wọ̀ yín létí, nítorí a ó fi Ọmọ Ènìyàn lé àwọn ènìyàn lọ́wọ́.”
"As for you, store these my sayings in your memory; for, before long, the Son of Man will be betrayed into the hands of men."
45 Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ náà kò yé wọn, ó sì ṣú wọn lójú, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò sì mọ̀ ọ́n: ẹ̀rù sì ń bà wọ́n láti béèrè ìdí ọ̀rọ̀ náà.
But they did not understand His meaning: it was veiled from them that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
46 Iyàn kan sì dìde láàrín wọn, ní ti ẹni tí yóò ṣe olórí nínú wọn.
Now there arose a dispute among them, which of them was to be the greatest.
47 Nígbà tí Jesu sì mọ èrò ọkàn wọn, ó mú ọmọdé kan, ó gbé e jókòó lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
And Jesus, knowing the reasoning that was in their hearts, took a young child and made him stand by His side
48 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gba ọmọdé yìí nítorí orúkọ mi, ó gbà mí: àti ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gbà mí, ó gba ẹni tí ó rán mi: nítorí ẹni tí ó bá kéré jù nínú gbogbo yín, òun náà ni yóò pọ̀jù.”
and said to them, "Whoever for my sake receives this little child, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives Him who sent me. For the lowliest among you all--he is the greatest."
49 Johanu sì dáhùn ó sì wí fún un pé, “Olùkọ́, àwa rí ẹnìkan ó ń fi orúkọ rẹ lé àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù jáde; àwa sì dá a lẹ́kun, nítorí tí kò bá wa tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn.”
"Rabbi," replied John, "we have seen a man making use of your name to expel demons; and we forbad him, because he does not come with us."
50 Jesu sì wí fún un, pé, “Má ṣe dá a lẹ́kun mọ́: nítorí ẹni tí kò bá lòdì sí i yín, ó wà fún yín.”
"Do not forbid him," said Jesus, "for he who is not against you is on your side."
51 Nígbà tí ọjọ́ àti gbà á sókè ń súnmọ́, ó pinnu láti lọ sí Jerusalẹmu.
Now when the time drew near for Him to be received up again into Heaven, He proceeded with fixed purpose towards Jerusalem, and sent messengers before Him.
52 Ó sì rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ lọ sí iwájú rẹ̀. Nígbà tí wọ́n sì lọ wọ́n wọ ìletò kan tí í ṣe ti ará Samaria láti pèsè sílẹ̀ dè é.
They went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make ready for Him.
53 Wọn kò sì gbà á, nítorí pé ó ń lọ sí Jerusalẹmu.
But the people there would not receive Him, because He was evidently going to Jerusalem.
54 Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ Jakọbu àti Johanu sì rí i, wọ́n ní, “Olúwa wa, jẹ́ kí a pe iná láti ọ̀run wá, kí a sì pa wọ́n run, bí Elijah ti ṣe?”
When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Master, do you wish us to order fire to come down from Heaven and consume them?"
55 Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu yípadà, ó sì bá wọn wí.
But He turned and rebuked them.
56 Lẹ́yìn náà Jesu àti àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ sì lọ sí ìletò mìíràn.
And they went to another village.
57 Bí wọ́n ti ń lọ lọ́nà, ọkùnrin kan wí fún un pé, “Olúwa, Èmi ń fẹ́ láti máa tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn ní ibikíbi tí ìwọ bá ń lọ.”
And, as they proceeded on their way, a man came to Him and said, "I will follow you wherever you go."
58 Jesu sì wí fún un pé, “Àwọn kọ̀lọ̀kọ̀lọ̀ ní ihò, àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run sì ní ìtẹ́; ṣùgbọ́n Ọmọ Ènìyàn kò ní ibi tí yóò fi orí rẹ̀ lé.”
"The foxes have holes," said Jesus, "and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."
59 Ó sì wí fún ẹlòmíràn pé, “Máa tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn.” Ṣùgbọ́n èyí wí fún un pé, “Olúwa, jẹ́ kí èmi lọ sìnkú baba mi ná.”
"Follow me," He said to another. "Master," the man replied, "allow me first to go and bury my father."
60 Jesu sì wí fún un pé, “Jẹ́ kí àwọn òkú máa sìnkú ara wọn, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ lọ kí o sì máa wàásù ìjọba Ọlọ́run.”
"Leave the dead," Jesus rejoined, "to bury their own dead; but you must go and announce far and wide the coming of the Kingdom of God."
61 Ẹlòmíràn sì wí fún un pé, “Olúwa, èmi yóò tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn ṣùgbọ́n jẹ́ kí n kọ́kọ́ lọ dágbére fún àwọn ará ilé mi.”
"Master," said yet another, "I will follow you; but allow me first to go and say good-bye to my friends at home."
62 Jesu sì wí fún un pé, “Kò sí ẹni, tí ó fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ lé ohun èlò ìtulẹ̀, tí ó sì wo ẹ̀yìn, tí ó yẹ fún ìjọba Ọlọ́run.”
Jesus answered him, "No one who has put his hand to the plough, and then looks behind him, is fit for the Kingdom of God.
