Luke 8
1 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,
Ya dana n ŋoa Jesu den goagoadi i dociami leni i dowaali nni kuli, ki kpaani ki wangi U Tienu diema laabaaliŋamo. Bi piiga n niliediba den yegi leni o.
2 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),
Bi potianba, mu cicibiadimu n den kpa ye yaaba ya niinni leni yaaba n den pia yiantoe ke Jesu paagi ba kuli, den cangi o. Bi siiga poyendo den yi Maliyama Magidala yua, cicibiadimu lele n den ñani yua ya niinni.
3 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.
One jana, o bado Elodo ligikubilo Alikusa pua, one mo susana, leni potoaba boncianla, yaaba n den ñandi bi piama nni ki todi Jesu leni o ŋoadikaaba yema nni.
4 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:
Bi niba boncianla den ña i dogi kuli nni ki kpendi Jesu kani. Ku niligu n den taani boncianla, o den pua mi naa kpanjama:
5 “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.
“O kpakpaalo den ñani ki baa pagi o bonbuoli. Wan den pagini, i tiami den baa u sankunu. Bi den ŋma yi ke ti bonyugiditi mo dini yi.
6 Other seed fell upon rock, and, as soon as it began to grow, having no moisture, withered away.
I tiami mo den baa ki tancaliga po. Yin den pudi, yi den kuodi, kelima yii den pia soangima.
7 Other seed fell in the middle of brambles, but the brambles grew up with it and choked it entirely.
Yi tiami mo den baa ti konkondi nni. Ti konkondi den taani ki fii leni yi ki dini yi.
8 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.”
I tiami mo den baa ki tinŋanga nni ki kpedi ki loni bonbiyenbu kuli kobiga kobiga.” Jesu n den maadi lankuli o den kpaani: “Yua n pia a tuba ki baa gbadi, wan gbadi.”
9 His disciples asked Jesus the meaning of this parable.
O ŋoadikaaba den buali o laa kpanjama bundima.
10 “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.’
O den goa ki yedi ba: “Bi puni yinba yin bandi U Tienu diema bondoaginkaala, ama nitoaba po, n maadi leni ba mi kpanjama ke ban ya nua leni bi nuni ki nan da le liba, ki ya cengi leni bi tuba ki nan da faami liba.
11 This is the parable — The seed is God’s Message.
Cengi mani mi kpanjama yeni bundima. Yi bonbuoli tie U Tienu maama.
12 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.
Yaaba n tie nani u sankunu tinga yeni tie yaaba n gba U Tienu maama ke Sutaani cua ki ñani ma bi pala nni, ke ban da daani ki baa mi tindima.
13 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.
Yaaba n tie nani ki tancaliga yeni tie yaaba n gbadi mi maama ki ga ma lanyogunu leni li pamanli. Ama baa pia jiimoani, bi daani u yogunu waamu bebe po ama mi tulinma ya cua ya yogunu, kali ban ŋa li dandanli.
14 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.
Ya bonbi n baa ti konkondi nni tie yaaba n gbadi mi maama, ama bi ya suagi liiga, bi cedi ke bi yema yanyagidi leni ŋalimani leni mi yemanma yankuali dini laa maama, ke bi bonluonkaala liba kuli ki beni.
15 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.
Ya bonbi n baa ki tinŋanga nni mo tie yaaba n gbadi mi maama ki ga ma ya pala n tiegi ki ŋani nni ki kpaagi mi po ki kubi ma bonŋanla, ki juuni ki ban loni li bonluonkaala.
16 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.
Niloba kan cuoni ki fidisanga ki taa li sancianli ki ŋoagini ga, yaaka ki kubini ga u duanu tiipo, kali wan tuani ga u fidisantuankaanu, ke yaaba n kua li dieli nni n ya nua mi yenma.
17 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.
Liba kuli ki ye ki wuo ki kan wuodi. Liba kuli ki ye ki duagi ki kan doagidi bi niba n bandi.
18 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.”
Lanyaapo yin fangi mani yi yula leni yin cengi maama, kelima bi baa pa ki pugini yua n pia, ama yua n ki pia wani, bi baa ga o kani baa wan nua ke o pia yaala.”
19 Presently Jesus’ mother and brothers came where he was, but they were not able to join him on account of the crowd.
Jesu naa leni o waamu den cua ki baa le o ki naa fidi ki pundi o kani kelima bi niba n yabi maama.
20 So word was brought to him — ‘Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.’
Bi niba den yedi Jesu: “A naa leni a waamu se niini po ki bua ki le ŋa.”
21 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.”
Jesu den goa ki yedi: “N naa leni n waamu tie yaaba n cengi U Tienu maama ki tiendi man yedi yaala.”
22 One day about that time, Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them: “Let us go across the lake.”
Danyenli Jesu leni o ŋoadikaaba den kua ku ñinbiagu ke o yedi ba: “Tin duodi mani ki gedi nepo ya boanjaali.” Bi den fii ki caa.
23 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.
Ban den ye ku ñinbiagu nni ki pegidi ki caa ya yogunu, Jesu den guani. Ku faabiadigu den kua mi ñincianma nni, ke mi ñima bua ki gbie ku ñinbiagu, ke li bia bipo.
24 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.
Bi den nagini ki fundi Jesu ki yedi o: “Canbaa, canbaa ti bia.” O den fundi ki maadi leni ku faaligu leni ñinguonpaala leni li bali ke li kuli duani suo.
25 “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?”
O den yedi o ŋoadikaaba yi dandana ye le?” Ti jawaandi leni li pakili den cuo ba ke bi yedi bi yaba: “One wani daa, o tie ŋme ki maadi ba ku faaligu leni mi ñima ke li kuli tuo ki tieni wan yedi yaala?
26 And they reached the country of the Gerasenes, which is on the opposite side to Galilee;
Bi den duodi mi ñincianma ki pundi Jelasa dogu tinbianu yu n tiegi Galile.
27 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.
Jesu n den ñani ku ñinbiagu nni ki se li wali po, u dogu nni nilo, mu cicibiadimu n den ye yua ya niinni den cua ki tuogi o. Li den waagi ke o joa yeni ki go yie tiadi. Waa go den ye diedi nni, o ji den ye a kakula nne.
28 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.”
Wan den laa Jesu o den tiani, ki gbaani o nintuali ki kpaani boncianla: “Be n ye mini leni fini siiga, Jesu, U Tienu yua n ye ŋali tanpolijoma Bijua? N mia ŋa ŋan da faligi nni.”
29 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.
O den yedi yeni kelima Jesu den yedi ki cicibiadiga kan ña o niinni, kani yaaga n den die o ke li waagi. Bi den luo o i kuseseli ki kpaagi o ti kukpaadi ki gu o, ama o den yen cenli li bonlolikaala ke ki cicibiadiga caani o li fuali po.
30 “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he answered (for many demons had taken possession of him);
Jesu den buali o: “A yi lede?” O den goa ki yedi o: “Ku niligu.” O den yedi yeni kelima mu cicibiadimu boncianla den kua ki ye o niinni.
Mu den miadi Jesu ke wan da yedi mun gedi u kulu nni. (Abyssos g12)
32 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.
Li den sua ke u dokuliciamu ye li juali po ki gbi i moajiini. Mu cicibiadimu den mia Jesu wan pa ba u sanu mun kua i duoli yeni niinni, ke o puni mu.
33 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.
Lani mu cicibiadimu den ñani o joa yeni niinni ki ban kua i duoli nni, ke u dokulu kuli digi ki jiidi ki baa mi ñincianma nni ki bodi.
34 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.
Yaaba n kpaaba n den laa yaala n tieni, bi den soani sani ki ban waani li laabaalo u dogu nni leni i tinkundogi nni.
35 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.
Bi niba den ñani ki gedi ki baan le yaala n tieni. Bi den pundi Jesu kani ki laa mu cicibiadimu n den ñani ya joa ya niinni yeni, ke o ka Jesu taana kani ki yie ti tiadi ki go pia o yama ke ti jawaandi cuo ba.
36 Those who had seen it told them how the possessed man had been delivered;
Yaaba n laa yaala n tieni kuli den togidi lan tieni maama ke mu cicibiadimu n den ye yua ya niinni paagi.
37 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.
Lani Jelasa yaaba leni u tinkundogu nni yaaba kuli den taani ki mia Jesu ke wan bi kani kelima ti jawaanciandi den cuo ba. Jesu den kua ku ñinbiagu nni ki baa gua ki duodi.
38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged Jesus to let him be with him; but Jesus sent him away.
Mu cicibiadimu n ñani yua ya niinni den miadi Jesu ke wan cedi wan ya ye leni o. Ama Jesu den cabi o ki yedi o:
39 “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.
“Lebidi ki guani a denpo ki ban togidi U Tienu n tieni apo yaala kuli.” O den gedi ki ban wangi u dogu nni kuli Jesu n tieni opo yaala.
40 On his return, Jesus was welcomed by the people; for everyone was looking out for him.
Jesu n den duodi ki pundi napo ya jaali ya yogunu, ku niligu den biali o kelima bi den gu o.
41 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,
Ban den yi yua Jayilusa ke o tie li balimaama bangidieli yudaano den cua ki gbaani Jesu taana kani ki mia o wan cua o deni,
42 because his only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus was going, the people were pressing closely round him.
kelima o den pia bonpoyenyenga yua n pia nani piiga n bina lie ke o yia ki bua ki kpe. Jesu n den caa, ku niligu den miabi o.
43 And a woman, who had suffered from haemorrhage for twelve years, and whom no one could cure,
O pua den ye li kani ke o soama wuliti kaa se ŋali piiga n bina lie, o den biani o piama kuli a logitola kani, oba kuli ki den fidi ki paagi o.
44 came up behind and touched the tassel of his cloak. Instantly the haemorrhage ceased.
O den cua ki nagini Jesu puoli po ki sii o liadicuadi. Lanyogunu o soañakaama den sedi.
45 “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!”
Jesu den yedi: “Hme n sii nni?” Bi kuli n den nia ke oba ki sii o, Pieli den yedi: “Canbaa, ku niligu lindi a ki miabi a.”
46 “Somebody touched me,” said Jesus; “for I felt that power had gone out from me.”
Jesu den goa ki yedi: “O nilo sii nni, kelima n bandi ke u paalu soani tuonliba.”
47 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.
O pua yeni den sua ke waa wuo, o den cua ki digibi ki gbaani Jesu nintuali ki waani bi niba kuli wan bi sii o yaala yaapo, ki go waani ke lanyogunu liga o paagi.
48 “Daughter,” he said, “your faith has delivered you. Go, and peace be with you.”
Jesu den yedi: “N bisalo a dandanli paagi a gedi leni mi yanduanma.”
49 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.”
Jesu n den maadi ya yogunu, o nilo den ñani li balimaama bangima dieli yudaano denpo ki cua bi kani ki yedi: “A bisalo yeni, waa ye da go coagini canbaa.”
50 But Jesus, hearing this, spoke to the President: “Do not be afraid; only have faith, and she shall yet be delivered.”
Jesu n den gbadi lani o den yedi li balimaama bangima dieli yudaano: “Da jie liba, daani bebe, o baa paagi.”
51 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.
Jesu n den pundi o joa yeni deni, waa den tuo nitoa kuli n yegi leni o ki kua, kali Pieli leni Jan leni Jaka leni ki biga yeni baa leni o naa.
52 And every one was weeping and mourning for her. “Do not weep,” Jesus said, “she is not dead; she is asleep.”
Bi niba kuli den buudi buudi opo i kumoe. Jesu den yedi: “Da buudi mani, waa kpe ka, o goa yo.”
53 They began to laugh at him, for they knew that she was dead.
Bi den laa o ti laadi ki ñuadi o kelima bi bani ke o kpe.
54 But, taking her by the hand, Jesus said in a loud voice: “Child, rise!”
Jesu den cuo ki biga nuu ki kpaani: “Ki biga, fii.”
55 The child’s spirit returned to her, and she instantly stood up; and Jesus ordered them to give her something to eat.
O naano den goa ki kua o niinni ke o fii lan yogunu liga. Jesu den yedi ba ban pa o wan je.
56 Her parents were amazed, but Jesus impressed on them that they were not to tell any one what had happened.
Li pakili den cuo ki biga danba. Jesu den ke ban da maadi niliba kuli yaala n tieni.
