Luke 8
1 Soon after that, Jesus went, along with his twelve [disciples], through various cities and villages. As they went, he was telling people the good message about how God wants (to have complete control/to rule) [MET] [over their lives].
Lan den pugini waami, ke jesu gedi a longbanani yen i dogiciamani, k muadi U Tienu maama.
2 Some women from whom he had expelled evil spirits and healed of diseases also [went with him]. These included Mary, the woman from Magdala [village], from whom [he had expelled] seven evil spirits;
O Den ye yen o ŋuankaaba piig n bonbilie, yen bi puobi yaaba kuli den bieli t cicibianda ke gɔ paagidi bi yiama: Mari, Magidala pua yua ko den paagu k cicibiada lele den kub bo.
3 Joanna, the wife of Chuza, who was one of [King] Herod [Antipas’] officials; Susanna; and many others. They were providing some of their own funds [to help Jesus and his disciples].
Sann, chuza denpua, chuza den tie Herod tuonsɔnli, Suzann yeni o lieba kuli den todi jesu yeni o ŋuankaaba yeni bi ŋalimanu
4 A large crowd of people came to Jesus from many towns. Then he told them this parable:
O nuwuligu den ñan a longbana nni k cua o kani, k jesu pua ba ya maa kpanjama ne:
5 “A man went out [to his field] to sow [some] seeds. As he was scattering them over the soil, some [of the seeds] fell on the path. Then [people] walked on those seeds, and birds ate them.
O kpakpaalo den ñani, ke bi pagi o bonbi, wan den pagi yeni, ke mi bonbima baa o sankuni, k bi ŋmaadi, ke ti bonyugiti dini.
6 Some [of the seeds] fell on rock [on which there was a thin layer of] moist [soil]. As soon as the seeds grew, the plants dried up because they had no moisture.
Tianli baa a tana ni ke pani ke kpe, kelima i tinga den kuoni.
7 Some [of the seeds] fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny [weeds]. The thorny weeds grew [together] with the young plants, and [they] crowded out [those plants].
Li tianli mɔ baa ti konkondi ke pani, ama ti konkondi fii ki luoni li po.
8 But some of the seeds fell on good soil and grew [well]. [Each seed later] produced 100 [grains].” Then Jesus called out to them, “If you want to understand [MTY] this, you must consider [carefully what I have just said]!”
Ke li liela baa i tinŋanga po, ke pani ke loni a luana. Jesu pugini ke maadi: ... yua pia a tuba ke cengi, wan cengi
9 Jesus’ disciples [later] asked him about the meaning of the parable [he had just told].
O ŋuandikaaba bual'o l maa kpanjama niima ni.
10 He said, “God is revealing to you what he did not reveal before, about [how he wants to] rule [MET] [over people’s lives]. But when I am telling other people about [these things, I tell them] only in parables. The result will be [like a prophet predicted long ago]: They will see [what I am doing], but will not perceive [what it means]. They will hear [what I am saying], but will not understand [it].
Ko maadi ba: yinba la li yumanli gbia U Tienu diema ŋasiili, ama lieba po li tie maa kpanjama. Bi pia i nuni, ama bi naa nua; bi cengi, bi naa gbia.
11 So this is the meaning of that parable: The seeds [represent] God’s message.
Diidi mani li maa kpanjama niima ni: U Tienu maama,
12 [Some people are like] the path on which some of [the seeds fell]. When these people hear God’s message, the devil comes and causes them to forget what they have heard. As a result, they do not believe it, and will not be saved {[God] will not save them}.
“o sankuni” tie yaaba cengi mi maama, ama sitaan n cua ke kua bi pala ni ke bel'o, wan da daani li maama po ke la mi faabma.
13 [Some people are like] the [soil with] rock [underneath]. When they hear [God’s] message, they accept it joyfully. [But because it does not penetrate deeply] [MET] [into their inner beings], they believe it for [only] a [short] time. [They are like the plants that] did not have [deep] roots. When difficult things happen to them, they stop believing [God’s message].
A tana po tie: yaabi n cengi mi maam, ke tuo yeni li pamanli, ama ke kan ŋa lan kpa jiina bi po. Bigili yogunu, wan sundi li kuli po.
14 [Some people are like] the [soil that had roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They are people who accept [God’s message], but later on they worry about things, and try to become rich, and enjoy [things that give them] a lot of pleasure. So they do not become [spiritually] mature.
“Mi bonbima yaali baa ti konkondini” wangidi, yaaba cengi mi maama, ama ke ŋa mi maalima, mi piama yen li ŋandunli bona n cedi wan da loni luana.
15 But [some people are like] the good soil. They hear [God’s] message and accept it. They [become] good, honest people, and they continue doing things [that please God] [MET].”
“Mi bonbima yaali baa i tinnŋanga ni”maadi ti, ya niba n cengi U Tienu maama ke biligidi bi pala ni ke suani yenli li tuonli, ke puni li juunli ke loni a luana.
16 “After people light a lamp, they do not cover it with a basket or put it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a lampstand, so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light [MET]. [Similarly, you must tell God’s truth to others so that they can know what I can do for them].
... Bi ki congi fidili ki cubidi bobili ni bii k wuondi gadogu yagima nni, bi yi tuani naani ke bi niba ya kua, ban la mi yinyema.
17 [God wants to] make clear all [of his truth] that was not evident previously. [He intends] that all of [the truth] that [he] had not revealed before be told openly {that [his people] openly tell [others] all [of the truth] that [he] has not revealed before}.
Yaali wuo mɔlane kuli, te bi juodi ke ña mi yinyema nni yen ya bonli n tie ŋasiili, te ba dogidi li daa gbengili daali.
18 So listen carefully [to what I tell you], because [God] will enable those who accept [my truth] to [understand even] more. But [God] will cause those who do not accept [my truth] to not understand even [the little] that they think they have [understood].”
ŋanbi mani ki diidi i yula po, yin cengi maama, kelima, yua pia bi ba pugini wani; ama yua pia, ban gaa wan daani ke pia yaali.
19 [One day Jesus’] mother and his [younger] brothers came to see him, but they could not get near him because there was a large crowd [around him in the house].
Jesu naa yen o ŋuandikaaba cua ki lagu, ama bi bo ki fidi nagin'o ki dugini o nuwuligu po.
20 Someone told him, “Your mother and your [younger] brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
Ke bi maad'o: a naa yen a ŋuandikaaba ye cincanli ki kpaan'a.
21 He replied, “Those who hear God’s message and obey it are [as dear to me] [MET] as my mother and my brothers.”
... N naa yen n ŋuandikaab tie yaaba n cengi U Tienu maama, ki gɔ tugidi k suani li tuonli lan buali maama.
22 One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples. He said to them, “Let’s go [around to] the other side of the lake.” So they started to go.
Daa yenli k jesu den kua o ñin biaguni wan i yeni o ŋɔdkaaba. Yeni ko maadi ba: ... tin puodi mani bongbantianli po. K bi tugi o ñin-gbanu.
23 As they were sailing, he fell asleep. A big windstorm struck the lake. Soon the boat was filling with water, and they were in danger.
Ban bo puodi ya yogunu, k jesu guandi. Ko faaciangu kpil k fidi o ñinbɔnguni. Mi ñima den bua cubini o ñinbiagu. Li ji den paa bi po.
24 Jesus’ disciples woke him up. They said [to him], “Master! Master! We [(inc)] are going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to be calm. The wind [immediately] stopped blowing and the waves calmed down. [The lake] became calm.
K jesu ŋɔdikaaba den nagini ki yigini ki fiin'o: canbaa, canbaa mi ñima bu di ti naa. Ko findi k gaa mi jama o faalu yen a ñinguona po, k li kuli sedi suoo.
25 He said to them, “(I [am disappointed that] you did not trust me [to help you]!/Why did you not trust me [to help you]?)” [RHQ] They were afraid. They were also amazed. They said to each other, “(What kind of man is this?/This man is not like ordinary men!) [RHQ] He [not only commands people, but] when he commands the wind and the water, they also obey him!”
Li puoli po ko maadi o ŋɔdikaaba: ... i dindanli ye le e? ti jawandi yeni o yaalidigu den kua ba, k bi maadi bi ŋmialini: O ne tie ŋma i? diidi mani: o pia ti yikodi o faalu yeni a ñinguona po, k bi cɔlini o.
26 Jesus and his disciples arrived at the region near Gerasa, a [town] which [was on the eastern] side of Lake [Galilee].
B ji bo kua Gerasa doguni, li bo ye Galile nuntuali.
27 [There was] a man [in that region] in whom demons lived. [He was] from the town [of Gerasa]. (OR, [In that area there was] a man [from that town] whom demons controlled.) For a long time he had not worn clothes. He did not live in a house. Instead, he lived in burial caves.
Ya yogunu k jesu bo tugi o taali ki ŋmaa i tinga po, o doguni o nulo yua k ti cicibiadi bo kub'o yeni, bo sani ki cend'o. O den ki yie tiadi ki gɔ ki kpendi deni, ama o den yi dua a kakula nni.
28 Many times [demons] attacked him. He was guarded {[People] tried to guard him} [so that he would not injure others]. Chains were fastened {They fastened chains} on his hands and shackles on his feet, but he would break the chains and shackles. Then he would be sent away by the demons {the demons would send him away} to some desolate area. When Jesus stepped out of the boat onto the shore, the man saw him. He [ran to Jesus] and prostrated himself before him. Then Jesus commanded, “You evil spirit, come out of that man!” But it [did not leave immediately. Instead, it] caused the man to shout very loudly, “Jesus, Son of the great God in heaven, since we [(inc)] have nothing in common, [leave me alone] [RHQ]! I beg you, do not torture me [now]!”
Ya yogunu ko la jesu, ko baa ki gbaani o taana po ki yigini yeni o paalu kuli. ... A bua be n po, jesu, U Tienu badicamo biga? N miad'a sugili, da wangidini fala.
O bo maadi yeni kelima jesu bo cedi k ti cicibiadi kuli siedi ki ŋagu. Yeni ban bo yi lol'o yeni i kudiseseli a taana yeni o nugi, o bo yi cie li kuli, ti cicibiadi n tug'o ke kua yen'o li fuali nni.
30 [In order to expel the demon more easily], Jesus asked [the demon], “What is your [(sg)] name?” He replied, “My name is Crowd/Mob.” [He said that] because many demons had entered that man.
Jesu bual'o: ... A yeli i? ... ŋmian'o: ti yabi. Kelima ti fuobiidi boncianli den ŋuagu.
31 [The demons] kept begging [Jesus] that he would not command them to go into the deep place [where God punishes demons]. (Abyssos g12)
Li fuobiidi den miadi jesu sugili k wan da kuan ba naani tie fala kangbediguni. (Abyssos g12)
32 There was a large herd of pigs (grazing/rooting for food) on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus that he allow them to enter the pigs. So he did.
Li den sua ki duoli boncianli den kobi li kani k bi kpaab li juali po. K ti cicibiadi ne mia jesu sugili, k wan cabi ba, k ban gedi ki kua li duoli nni. Ko cabi ba.
33 The demons left the man and entered the pigs. Then the herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
K bi ŋaa li ja, ki ji kua li duoli nni. Ki li duoli ñani li juali, k san sani ki baa mi ñima nni kpe.
34 When the men who were taking care of the pigs saw what happened, they ran! They told people inside the town and outside the town what had happened.
A duogula n la yeni, ki bi sani k gedi ki pagi o dogu nni, yen i dogbanbimu nni
35 So people went out to see what had happened. When they came to where Jesus was, they saw that the man from whom Jesus had [expelled] the demons was sitting at the feet of Jesus, [listening to him]. He had clothes on, and his mind was normal again. Then those people became afraid [because they thought that Jesus would destroy more of their property] (OR, [because they realized that he must be very powerful]).
K bi niba ña, k caa ki diidi yaali bo tieni. Bi bo pundi jesu kani, k la o ja yua k ti fuobiidi bo siedi kani yeni, ko kaa jesu taana po. O den la ti tiadi, ki li ba kuli ji k kub, o. Ti jawandi den kua ba.
36 The people who had seen what happened told those [who had just arrived] how [Jesus] had healed the man whom demons were controlling [before].
Yaabi bo la ya bona n bo tieni kuli lan kani, ki bi dugini maama ki ti fuobiidi yaadi k ŋaa li ja, ko ji la mi faabima.
37 Then [those people and] many other people [HYP] from the area near Gerasa asked Jesus to leave their area. They were very afraid of [what else Jesus would do to them]. So [Jesus and the disciples] got into the boat to go back across the lake.
Gerase dogu niba kuli, ti jawandi bo kua ba boncianli. K bi maadi jesu k wan ña bi dogu nni. Ko guani k kua o ñinbiagu nni k lebidi
38 The man from whom he had [expelled] the demons begged him saying, “[Please], let me go with you!” But [Jesus refused. Instead], he said to him,
Ko ja yua ti fuobiidi bo ñan o kani yeni, buali jesu k wan cian'o, ama jesu bo bel'o, k maad'o: kuni a deni k pan waan ba, yaali ko tienu tieni a po.
39 “[No], go home and tell people how much God has done for you!” Then he sent him away. So the man went away and told people throughout the nearby town how much Jesus had done for him.
Ko kuni ki pagi yaali n tieni ne kuli.
40 When [Jesus and the disciples] returned [to Capernaum], a crowd of people who had been waiting for him welcomed him.
Wan den guani galile, bi niba boncianli den gagu kelima bi den gu o baama.
41 Just then a man named Jairus, who was one of the leaders (of the synagogue/of the Jewish meeting place) [there], came near and prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet. He pleaded with Jesus, “Please come to my house [and heal my daughter],
Li yogunu ja ba cua jesu kani ko yeli tie jayiris, o den tie o jandieguni canbaa. Ko baa k gbaani jesu taana po ki miagu sugili k wan cua o deni.
42 my only daughter, who is about twelve years old, because she is dying!” As Jesus went with him, many people crowded close to Jesus.
O bonpuoyenga ko pia nani piiga yen bina lie yeni, k den mɔ yeni mi kuuma. K jesu fii k gedi o kani, ko nuwuligu tudi k mɔ ban nagini jesu kani.
43 Then a woman came near. She had been suffering from constant [vaginal] [EUP] bleeding for twelve years, but she could not be healed by anyone {no one could heal her}.
Li kani pua ba den ye ki wuuli o faadi kli k koligidi, hali piiga yeni bina lie. O bo biani o ligi kuli dogida deni, ama o bo ki fidi ki tebi o ba.
44 She came behind [Jesus] and touched the edge of his robe [in order to be healed]. At once her bleeding stopped.
Ko nagini jesu puoli po ki sii o liadili, ki li yogunu mɔno, ko faadi sedi.
45 Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When everyone said that they had not touched him, Peter said, “Lord, there is a large crowd of people around you [(sg)] and crowding against you, [so any one of them might have touched you]!”
K jesu buali: ... ŋma n sii nni? Nani bi kuli n bo tieni mi niama, k Pial maadi: ... canbaa, tin diidi mani, o nuwuligu lini ki maba.
46 But Jesus said, “[I know that] someone [deliberately] touched me, [because] my power has healed someone [who touched me].”
Ama kop ŋmian'o: ... o nulo sii nni, kelima mi tuama o paalu ñani n gbano nni.
47 When the woman realized that she could not prevent [Jesus] (OR, [people]) from knowing that [she was healed], her body began to shake. [She was afraid that because she had disobeyed the law that a woman with such a condition should not touch others, Jesus might scold her for doing that]. She prostrated herself before Jesus. As the other people were listening, she told why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately.
Wan bo la li kuli k li k tie wuolin bonli, ko pua nagini, ki jegili, ki baa ki gbaani jesu taana po k cili ki dugidi yaali ya po ko siigu yeni wan paag'o maama toma.
48 [Jesus] said to her, “(Ma’am/My dear woman), because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you. Go [from here, and may you experience God’s] peace [within you].”
K jesu maadi li pua: ... n bipuoga, a paagi ki dugini a dindanli yabi n po. Ya caa k laafia n cian'a
49 While he was still talking [to her], a man from Jairus’ house came and said to Jairus, “Your daughter has died. So (it is useless that you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]!/why do you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]?) [RHQ]”
O da den k maadi ki gbeni, ko nulo ñan li jandidieli nni canbaa deni, k maad'o: a jafaanu kpe o, ji da mabi canbaa.
50 But when Jesus heard that, he said to Jairus, “Do not think that there is nothing more that can be done. Just believe that [I can help her. If you(sg) do that], she will live again.”
Jesu den gbadi li maama, ko maadi Sayiris: ... da jie, ya duu n po baba, a jafaano ba paagi.
51 When they arrived outside Jairus’ house, Jesus allowed only Peter, John, James, and the girl’s mother and father to go in Jairus’ house with him.
Wan pundi deni, o ki cabi ki nulo ba kua, lan ñani: Pial, San, Sak yeni i biga náa yeni o baà.
52 All the people [there] were crying and beating their chests [to show that they were sad]. But, [knowing that he would cause the girl to live again], he said to them, “Stop crying! She is not dead! She is [just] sleeping [MET]!”
Kaana kuli den tie: bubuuli yeni i fanfabini. K Jesu maadi: da buudi mani, o ki kpe ka, ama o guandi.
53 The people laughed at him, because they knew that [the girl] was dead.
Bi niba den ñuadi laagu ki ban nani ko kpe i.
54 But [Jesus] took hold of her hand and called to her, saying, “Child, get up!”
Yeni k jesu cuo i bonpuo biga nugu, k maadi yeni o paalu: ... n biga fii!
55 At once her spirit returned [to her body] and she got up. Jesus immediately said, “Give her something to eat!”
O den guani ki fuodi, k fii, k jesu maadi: k ban ten'o mi jiema wan je.
56 Her parents were amazed, but Jesus told them not to tell anyone [else yet] what had happened.
K li yaa ki lidi o dama. Jesu den kpaaba tiadiba, k ban da ŋa bi niba n bandi yaala n tieni.
