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 after this He visited town after town, and village after village, proclaiming His Message and telling the Good News of the Kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,
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.
and certain women whom He had delivered from evil spirits and various diseases--Mary of Magdala, out of whom seven demons had come,
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 Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many other women, all of whom contributed to the support of Jesus and His Apostles.
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.
And when a great crowd was assembling, and was receiving additions from one town after another, He spoke a parable to them.
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," He said, "goes out to sow his seed; and as he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and is trodden upon, or the birds of the air come and peck it up.
6 Imon imus disso kiti ikoto, bara na idinin nmyin ba.
Another part drops upon the rock, and after growing up it withers away for want of moisture.
7 Har nene imon imus disso kiti nimart, na imarte nkuno ligowe nin nimuse, imarte buco imuse.
Another part falls among the thorns, and the thorns grow up with it and stifle it.
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.”
But some of the seed falls into good ground, and grows up and yields a return of a hundred for one." While thus speaking, He cried aloud and said, "Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"
9 Inung nono kadura mye tiringhe iyaghari tinan tigoldo mye di nbellu.
The disciples proceeded to ask Him what this parable meant.
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 replied, "it is granted to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God; but all others are taught by parables, in order that they may see and yet not see, and may hear and yet not understand.
11 Nene tinan tigoldo tinere, imuse uliru Kutelle ri.
The meaning of the parable is as follows. 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.
Those by the way-side are those who have heard, and then the Devil comes and carries away the Message from their hearts, lest they should believe and be 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.
Those on the rock are the people who on hearing the Message receive it joyfully; but they have no root: for a time they believe, but when trial comes they fall away.
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.
That which fell among the thorns means those who have heard, but as they go on their way, the Message is stifled by the anxieties, wealth and gaieties of time, and they yield nothing in 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 as for that in the good ground, it means those who, having listened to the Message with open minds and in a right spirit, hold it fast, 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.
"When any one lights a lamp, he does not cover it with a vessel or hide it under a couch; he puts it on a lampstand, that people who enter the room 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.
There is nothing hidden, which shall not be openly seen; nor anything secret, which shall not be 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.”
Be careful, therefore, how you hear; for whoever has anything, to him more shall be given, and whoever has nothing, even that which he thinks he has shall be taken away from him."
19 Kubi na unan Yesu nin nuane wa kiti mye, iwase uduru kupo mye ba, bara gbardang nanit.
Then came to Him His mother and His brothers, but could not get near Him for the crowd.
20 Ibellin ghe, “Unafe nin nuanafine yisin ndas, idinin su iyene fi.”
But He was told, "Your mother and brothers are standing on the edge of the crowd, and want 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.”
"My mother and my brothers," He replied, "are these who hear God's Message and obey it."
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 He went on board a boat--both He and his disciples; and He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side of the Lake." So they set sail.
23 Na idinna ukafine, Yesu tina nmoro fiyilili nfunu fita kang nanya kulle, uzirge kullo nin nmyen itunna ipira nanya tikanci.
During the passage He fell asleep, and there came down a squall of wind on the Lake, so that the boat began to fill and they were in deadly peril.
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 they came and woke Him, crying, "Rabbi, Rabbi, we are drowning." Then He roused Himself and rebuked the wind and the surging of the water, and they ceased and there was a calm.
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 asked them. But they were filled with terror and amazement, and said to one another, "Who then is this? for He gives orders both to wind and waves, and they obey Him."
26 Ikafina udu kipin Ngarisinawa, na ki nleli uwul Ngalili.
Then they put in to shore in the country of the Gerasenes, which lies opposite 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.
Here, on landing, He was met by one of the townsmen who was possessed by demons--for a long time he had not put on any garment, nor did he live 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.”
When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, and said in a loud voice, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of God Most High? Do not torture me, I beseech you."
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 already He had been commanding the foul spirit to come out of the man. For many a time it had seized and held him, and they had repeatedly put him in chains and fetters and kept guard over him, but he used to break the chains to pieces, and, impelled by the demon, to escape into the Desert.
30 Yesu tiringhe, “Lisafe ghari?” A kawoghe, “Libutari,” Bara agbergenu gbardang di nanya mye.
"What is your name?" Jesus asked him. "Legion," he replied--because a great number of demons had entered into him;
and they besought Him not to command them to be gone 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.
Now there was a great herd of swine there feeding on the hill-side; and the demons begged Him to give them leave to go into them, and He gave them leave.
33 Na agbergenu nnuzu nanya nnite, idi piru nanya naladue, itunna iputu nin ncum idi diu kule ituna iwulu.
The demons came out of the man and left him, and entered into the swine; and the herd rushed violently over the cliff 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.
The swineherds, seeing what had happened, fled and reported it both in town and country;
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.
whereupon the people came out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were terrified.
36 Alenge na iyene nani ibelle anite inda na agbergenu nnuzu, unite uni nshino.
And those who had seen it told them how the demoniac was cured.
37 Vat nanite kipin Ngarisinawa woro Yesu ku asun nani, bara anite apira uzirgi nmyen a nya.
Then the whole population of the Gerasenes and of the adjacent districts begged Him to depart from them; for their terror was great. So He went on board and returned.
38 Unite ulenge na agbergenu nnuzu kiti mye, foo Yesu ku acara adofinghe. Yesu kpiliya ghe aworo,
But the man from whom the demons had gone out earnestly asked permission to go with Him; but He 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.
"Return home," He said, "and tell there all that God has done for you." So he went and published through the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.
40 Na Yesu nkpilla, ligozi nanite ta ghe mahabi, bara vat mine di ncaa mye.
Now when Jesus was returning, the people gave Him a warm welcome; for they had all been looking out for Him.
41 Umon unit lisa mye Jairus, udia kutyi nlirag ada dio nabunu Yesu nfo ghe nacara adak kilari mye,
Just then there came a man named Jair, a Warden of the Synagogue, who threw himself at the feet of Jesus, and entreated Him to come to his house;
42 bara gono kishono mye kirum, unan nakus likure, anon fawal, na Yesu wa cinu uduwe, ligozi keseghe.
for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. And as He went, the dense throng crowded on Him.
43 Umong uwani wa duku, ulenge na awadi nanya nmyi, akus likare, na ase unan nshinu ninghe ba.
And a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage--and had spent on doctors all she had, but none of them had been able to cure her--
44 Ada mamal mye, adodo imon mye likot nanya kube nmyi mye yisina.
came close behind Him and touched the tassel of His robe; and instantly her flow of blood stopped.
45 “Ghari ndudui?” Yesu tirino, vat mine ta amusuku, Bitrus woro, “Cikilari, anite di gbardang ina ni din parduzu fi.”
"Who is it touched me?" Jesus asked. And when all denied having done so, Peter and the rest said, "Rabbi, the crowds are hemming you in and pressing on you."
46 Yesu woro, “Umong ndudui, yinno likara nnuzu kiti nighe.”
"Some one has touched me," Jesus replied, "for I feel that power has 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, perceiving that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and throwing herself down at His feet she stated before all the people the reason why she had touched Him and how she was instantly cured.
48 Atunna aworo, “Ushono, nigh uyinu sa uyenu fe nshino ninfi. Can sheu.”
"Daughter," said He, "your faith has cured you; go, and be at peace."
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.
While He was still speaking, some one came to the Warden of the Synagogue from his house and said, "Your daughter is dead; trouble the Rabbi no further."
50 Nin lanzu nani, Yesu woro, “Jairus ku, yenje uwa lanza fiu, yinna ushono fe ba shinu.”
Jesus heard the words and said to him, "Have no fear. Only believe, and she shall be restored to life."
51 Kubi na aduru kilarin Jairus, na ayinna umon pira ninghe ba, se Bitrus nin Yohanna a Yakubu, a ucif nin nnan ngone.
So He came to the house, but allowed no one to go in with Him but Peter and John and James and the girl's father and mother.
52 Vzat ninite yita kuculu nin tiyom, “Cinnon kuculu Yesu woro na akuu wari ba, adi nmorari.”
The people were all weeping aloud and beating their breasts for her; but He said, "Leave off wailing; for she is not dead, but asleep."
53 Isisaghe, bara inug yiru a kuu, wari.
And they jeered at Him, knowing that she was dead.
54 Akiffo ghee ncara a woro, “Gono nig fita.”
He, however, took her by the hand and called aloud, "Child, awake!"
55 Ulai mye kpila, nanya mye, kubi atuna afita, Yesu woro nani inighe imomon alii.
And her spirit returned, and instantly she stood up; and He directed them to give her some food.
56 Anit mye kiffo tinu, yesu woro nani na iwa bellin umon imon ile na idi ba.
Her parents were astounded; but He forbad them to mention the matter to any one.
