Luka 8
1 Uso na nin dandaunu ba, Yesu cizina ucin nanya nigbir ngangan na nitari, nbellu nliru ucine, kitene kipin tigo Kutelle, inung likure nya nanghe.
Shortly afterwards, Jesus went on a journey through the towns and villages, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom of God. With him went the Twelve,
2 Among awani alenga na iwa kalla nani Uruhu unanzan nan tikonu. Inughere, Maryamu ule na idin yicughe Magdaliya, Kitime iwa kalla ghe agbergenu kuzor.
as well as some women who had been cured of wicked spirits and of infirmities. They were Mary, known as Mary of Magdala (from whom seven demons had been expelled),
3 Yuwana uwanin Kuza, unan katuwa Hirdus, Suzana, nan namon awani gbardang, alenge na iwa buun nani nin nimon nacara mine.
and Joanna (the wife of Herod’s steward, Chuza), and Susannah, and many others — all of whom ministered to Jesus and his Apostles out of their means.
4 Nene na ligozi nanit gbardang nzura ligowe, umunu anit ale na iwa cinu udak kiti mye unuzu nigbir gbardang, asu uliru nanghinu nin tinan tigoldo.
Once, when a great crowd was collecting, and, when the people of town after town were flocking to Jesus, he spoke to them in the form of a parable:
5 Unan tibila ndo nbilisu nimus, na adi tibile imon imusu disso, libau, ipatila inin nin nabunu anyin kitene kani da pilla inin.
“The sower went out to sow his seed; and, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path and was trodden upon; and the wild birds ate it up.
6 Imon imus disso kiti ikoto, bara na idinin nmyin ba.
Other seed fell upon rock, and, as soon as it began to grow, having no moisture, withered away.
7 Har nene imon imus disso kiti nimart, na imarte nkuno ligowe nin nimuse, imarte buco imuse.
Other seed fell in the middle of brambles, but the brambles grew up with it and choked it entirely.
8 Bara nani imon imus disso kutyin kucine inin na iyoli na iwa duru akat kazakure.” Kube na Yesu nbelle nani, ayicila nani, “Vat nlonge na adinin natuf na alanza.”
Other seed fell into rich soil, and grew, and gave a hundred-fold return.” After saying this, Jesus cried aloud: “Let him who has ears to hear with hear.”
9 Inung nono kadura mye tiringhe iyaghari tinan tigoldo mye di nbellu.
His disciples asked Jesus the meaning of this parable.
10 Yesu woro nani, “Ina ni munu kubi iyinin imon linyeshin kitene kipin tigo Kutelle, bara kagisine iba bellu nani nin tinan tigoldo, 'iba yenju na iba yene gegeme ba, iba lanzu, na iba yinnu ba.'
“To you,” he said, “the knowledge of the hidden truths of the Kingdom of God has been imparted, but to others in parables only, that ‘though they have eyes they may not see, and though they have ears, they may not understand.’
11 Nene tinan tigoldo tinere, imuse uliru Kutelle ri.
This is the parable — The seed is God’s Message.
12 Imus ile na idisso libou, innere anit alenge na ilanza ligbulang nliru, shetan uni nda ada bollo ligbulang nliru nanya nibinai bara iwa yinin ise utucu.
By the seed which fell along the path are meant those who hear the Message; but then comes the Devil and carries away the Message from their minds, to prevent their believing it and being saved.
13 Inin ile na idisso kiti natala anitari alenge na ilanza ligbulang nliruwe, inani sere nin liburi liboo na iyisin nin likara ba, inung sa iyinna bara kubi baat, kubi na igwada nani asa idio.
By the seed which fell upon the rock are meant those who, as soon as they hear the Message, welcome it joyfully; but they have no root, and believe it only for a time, and, when the time of temptation comes, they draw back.
14 Imus ile na idisso kiti nimart inughere anit alenge na ilanza ligbulang nliru, inani nsuna linin inani nda parda nani nin nbellen nikurfung nin nlanzu nmang nlai, na isa ina imus ile na idisso kutyin kucine.
By that which fell among the brambles are meant those who hear the Message, but who, as they go on their way, are completely choked by this world’s cares and wealth and pleasures, and bring nothing to perfection.
15 Inughere anit ale idinin kibinai kilau ninn nan nbellu kidegen, na imala ulanzu nlire, imino unin nin likara, isu kumat nin likara.
But by that in the good ground are meant those who, having heard the Message, keep it in the good, rich soil of their hearts, and patiently yield a return.
16 Nene, na umon duku ule na aba ti ulah npitila awufu nin kishik, sa a ceo nanya lii nkoni, se dei atarda unin kutet, vat nlenge na apira ama yenu nkananghe.
No man sets light to a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or puts it underneath a couch, but he puts it on a lamp-stand, so that anyone who comes in may see the light.
17 Na imomon nyeshin, ilenge na una sali sa uyinnu ba, a na imomon nyeshin ile na iba yinnu idak nanya nkanang.
Nothing is hidden which will not be brought into the light of day, not ever kept hidden which will not some day become known and come into the light of day.
18 Suun seng nanya nlanzu, vat nlenge na adumun, amere iba kpinghe ku, ame ule na asali mun, iba seru ile na adin kpilizu a adumun.”
Take care, then, how you listen. For, to all those who have, more will be given; while, from all those who have nothing, even what they seem to have will be taken away.”
19 Kubi na unan Yesu nin nuane wa kiti mye, iwase uduru kupo mye ba, bara gbardang nanit.
Presently Jesus’ mother and brothers came where he was, but they were not able to join him on account of the crowd.
20 Ibellin ghe, “Unafe nin nuanafine yisin ndas, idinin su iyene fi.”
So word was brought to him — ‘Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.’
21 Yesu kauwa aworo nani, “Una nighe nin nwana nighe, inunghere alenge na idin nwana nighe, inughere alenge na idin lanzu uliru Kutelle idorto unin.”
His reply, spoken to them all, was: “My mother and my brothers are those who listen to God’s teaching and do what it bids.”
22 Nene uso nlon liyiri, Yesu nin nono kadura mye ipira nanya nzirgin nmyen, a woro, “Nati kafin udu uleli uwul kulle.” Itunna ndinna ikafinar.
One day about that time, Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them: “Let us go across the lake.”
23 Na idinna ukafine, Yesu tina nmoro fiyilili nfunu fita kang nanya kulle, uzirge kullo nin nmyen itunna ipira nanya tikanci.
So they put off. While they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep. A squall swept down upon the lake, and their boat was filling and they were in danger.
24 Nono katuwa mye di fiyaghe, iworo, “Cikilari, Cikilari, nmyen ba millu nari!” A fita akpada ufune nin mye ne, fiyilili yisina kite so dang.
So the disciples came and roused him. “Sir, Sir,” they cried, “we are lost!” Jesus rose and rebuked the wind and the rushing waves, and they fell, and a calm followed.
25 Uyinnu mine, sa uyene de atirino nono katuwa mye nanya fiu nin kiti tinu itirino atimine, ghari ule adi kpadizu ufunu nin nmyen, inani din dortu ghe?”
“Where is your faith?” he exclaimed. But in great awe and amazement they said to one another: “Who can this be, that he commands even the winds and the waves, and they obey him?”
26 Ikafina udu kipin Ngarisinawa, na ki nleli uwul Ngalili.
And they reached the country of the Gerasenes, which is on the opposite side to Galilee;
27 Kubi na Yesu yisina nbiu kurawa, a zuro nin nmong unan nilaza nanya kipine, nin dandaunu na adin nsho. Imon a sosin kilari ba, asosin nissek.
and, on getting ashore, Jesus met a man, who had demons in him, coming out of the town. For a long time this man had worn no clothing, and he had not lived in a house, but in the tombs.
28 Na ayene Yesu ku, usu agilla adio nabunu mye, atah ntet kang, “Iyaghari udin piziru kiti nighe Yesu gono Kutelle? Inan kitene, ndin nfofi nacara yenje uwa fuuni ba.”
Catching sight of Jesus, he shrieked out and threw himself down before him, and in a loud voice exclaimed: “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech you not to torment me.”
29 Yesu atta uruhu unazan ghe a nuzu nanya nnite, nkon kubi gbardang asa imone yiraghe. Inani sa itaghe inyang naccara nin nabunu, iceoghe unan ncaa, asa atasa inya ghe agbergenu wunnu ghe udi niti ninanzang.
For Jesus was commanding the foul spirit to come out from the man. On many occasions it had seized him, and, even when secured with chains and fetters, and watched, he would break through anything that bound him, and be driven by the demon into the Wilds.
30 Yesu tiringhe, “Lisafe ghari?” A kawoghe, “Libutari,” Bara agbergenu gbardang di nanya mye.
“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he answered (for many demons had taken possession of him);
and the demons begged Jesus not to order them away into the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12)
32 Ligo naladu wa di kileo kusari, agbbergenu foo Yesu ku acara, asun nani, ipiru nanya naladu, Yesu yinna nani.
There was a drove of many pigs close by feeding upon the hill-side; and the demons begged Jesus to give them leave to enter into them. Jesus gave them leave.
33 Na agbergenu nnuzu nanya nnite, idi piru nanya naladue, itunna iputu nin ncum idi diu kule ituna iwulu.
They came out from the man and took possession of the pigs; and the drove rushed down the steep slope into the lake and were drowned.
34 Na anan libiya nalade nyene ile na isu, ido nanya kipine nin ncum, idi bellin kagbire nin nanya kipine.
When the men who tended them saw what had happened, they ran away, and carried the news to the town, and to the country round.
35 Anite nuzu idi kiti Yesu, ise unite ule na agbergenu nnuzu kiti mye, sosin nabunun Yesu, nin nimon kidowa nin kibinai dert, ilanza fiu.
The people went out to see what had happened, and, when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at Jesus’ feet; and they were awe-struck.
36 Alenge na iyene nani ibelle anite inda na agbergenu nnuzu, unite uni nshino.
Those who had seen it told them how the possessed man had been delivered;
37 Vat nanite kipin Ngarisinawa woro Yesu ku asun nani, bara anite apira uzirgi nmyen a nya.
upon which all the people in the neighbourhood of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, for they were terrified. Jesus got into a boat and returned.
38 Unite ulenge na agbergenu nnuzu kiti mye, foo Yesu ku acara adofinghe. Yesu kpiliya ghe aworo,
The man from whom the demons had gone out begged Jesus to let him be with him; but Jesus sent him away.
39 “Kpilla kilari, ubellin ile imon na Kutelle nsu fi, unite kpilla abelle nanya kipine vat nile imon na Yesu nsu ghe.
“Go back to your home,” he said, “and relate the story of all that God has done for you.” So the man went through the whole town and proclaimed, as he went, all that Jesus had done for him.
40 Na Yesu nkpilla, ligozi nanite ta ghe mahabi, bara vat mine di ncaa mye.
On his return, Jesus was welcomed by the people; for everyone was looking out for him.
41 Umon unit lisa mye Jairus, udia kutyi nlirag ada dio nabunu Yesu nfo ghe nacara adak kilari mye,
And a man named Jaeirus, who was a President of the Synagogue, came to Jesus, and threw himself at Jesus’ feet, with entreaties that he would come to his house,
42 bara gono kishono mye kirum, unan nakus likure, anon fawal, na Yesu wa cinu uduwe, ligozi keseghe.
because his only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus was going, the people were pressing closely round him.
43 Umong uwani wa duku, ulenge na awadi nanya nmyi, akus likare, na ase unan nshinu ninghe ba.
And a woman, who had suffered from haemorrhage for twelve years, and whom no one could cure,
44 Ada mamal mye, adodo imon mye likot nanya kube nmyi mye yisina.
came up behind and touched the tassel of his cloak. Instantly the haemorrhage ceased.
45 “Ghari ndudui?” Yesu tirino, vat mine ta amusuku, Bitrus woro, “Cikilari, anite di gbardang ina ni din parduzu fi.”
“Who was it that touched me?” Jesus asked; and, while everyone was denying having done so, Peter exclaimed: “Why, Sir, the people are crowding round you and pressing upon you!”
46 Yesu woro, “Umong ndudui, yinno likara nnuzu kiti nighe.”
“Somebody touched me,” said Jesus; “for I felt that power had gone out from me.”
47 Uwani nin nyene, na awanya anya likire ba, ada nin ketizu adeo nabunu mye. Nbun nanite vat, abelle ile imon na ita amini ndudoghe, nin inda na atunna ashino.
Then the woman, when she saw that she was discovered, came forward trembling, and threw herself down before him; and, in the presence of all the people, she told him her reason for touching him, and that she had been cured instantly.
48 Atunna aworo, “Ushono, nigh uyinu sa uyenu fe nshino ninfi. Can sheu.”
“Daughter,” he said, “your faith has delivered you. Go, and peace be with you.”
49 Kube na Yesu wadi nliru, umon da kiti mye unuzu kilarin Jairus udia kutyi nliran, “Ushono fe, nkuu. Yenje uwa damu unan dursuzu ninyerte.
Before he had finished speaking, some one came from the house of the President of the Synagogue and said: “Your daughter is dead! Do not trouble the Teacher further.”
50 Nin lanzu nani, Yesu woro, “Jairus ku, yenje uwa lanza fiu, yinna ushono fe ba shinu.”
But Jesus, hearing this, spoke to the President: “Do not be afraid; only have faith, and she shall yet be delivered.”
51 Kubi na aduru kilarin Jairus, na ayinna umon pira ninghe ba, se Bitrus nin Yohanna a Yakubu, a ucif nin nnan ngone.
When he reached the house, he did not allow any one to go in with him, except Peter, John, and James, and the child’s father and mother.
52 Vzat ninite yita kuculu nin tiyom, “Cinnon kuculu Yesu woro na akuu wari ba, adi nmorari.”
And every one was weeping and mourning for her. “Do not weep,” Jesus said, “she is not dead; she is asleep.”
53 Isisaghe, bara inug yiru a kuu, wari.
They began to laugh at him, for they knew that she was dead.
54 Akiffo ghee ncara a woro, “Gono nig fita.”
But, taking her by the hand, Jesus said in a loud voice: “Child, rise!”
55 Ulai mye kpila, nanya mye, kubi atuna afita, Yesu woro nani inighe imomon alii.
The child’s spirit returned to her, and she instantly stood up; and Jesus ordered them to give her something to eat.
56 Anit mye kiffo tinu, yesu woro nani na iwa bellin umon imon ile na idi ba.
Her parents were amazed, but Jesus impressed on them that they were not to tell any one what had happened.
