Luka 6
1 Gbe ɖeka le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkekea dzi esi Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo zɔ to bligble aɖewo me va yina la, nusrɔ̃lawo ŋe bli aɖewo, klẽ tsro le wo ŋu henɔ ɖuɖum.
Now it happened on the second chief Sabbath that he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain, and ate, rubbing them in their hands.
2 Farisitɔ aɖewo nɔ afi ma kpɔ wo, eye wogblɔ na Yesu be, “Nu ka ta miewɔ nu si mele se nu be woawɔ le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke dzi o mahã?”
But some of the Pharisees said to them, "Why do you do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?"
3 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Alo miexlẽ nu tso nu si David wɔ esi dɔ wu eya kple eŋutimewo ŋu oa?
Jesus, answering them, said, "Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;
4 Eyi ɖe Mawu ƒe aƒe la me, eye wòtsɔ abolo tɔxɛ si wotsɔ ɖo Mawu ŋkume la, eye wòɖui, togbɔ be mele se nu be ame aɖeke naɖu abolo sia o negbe nunɔlawo ko.”
how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?"
5 Yesu gblɔ kpe ɖe eŋu be, “Nye Amegbetɔ Vi lae nye Aƒetɔ na Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la gɔ̃ hã.”
He said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath."
6 Le Dzudzɔgbe bubu gbe esi wònɔ nu fiam le ƒuƒoƒe la, ekpɔ ame aɖe si tsitsi lé asi na la le afi ma.
It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.
7 Esi wònye Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke dzie ta la, agbalẽfialawo kple Farisitɔwo ɖe ŋku ɖe edzi gãa henɔ ekpɔm be ada gbe le amea ŋu le ŋkekea dzi hã. Wonɔ ŋku lém ɖe eŋu elabena wodi be wòawɔ vodada aɖe be yewoatsɔ nya ɖe eŋu.
The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.
8 Yesu nya nu si bum ame siawo nɔ xoxoxo, gake egblɔ na ŋutsua be, “Tso va nɔ tsitre ɖe afii be ame sia ame nakpɔ wò.” Ŋutsu la tso ɖe tsitrenu abe ale si wògblɔ nɛ ene.
But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Rise up, and stand in the middle." He arose and stood.
9 Azɔ Yesu trɔ ɖe Farisitɔwo kple agbalẽfialawo gbɔ, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Biabia aɖe le asinye na mi. Ɖe woɖe mɔ be woawɔ nyui le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkekea dzi loo alo woawɔ vɔ̃a? Enyo be woaxɔ ame ɖe agbe loo alo woawuia?”
Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to destroy it?"
10 Etsa ŋku le wo katã dzi ɖekaɖeka, eye wògblɔ na ŋutsua be, “Dzɔ wò asi.” Edzɔ asia kasia eƒe asi gaɖɔ ɖo.
He looked around at them all, and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did, and his hand was restored.
11 Nuwɔna sia do dziku na Yesu ƒe futɔwo ŋutɔ. Wode asi ɖoɖowɔwɔ me le nu si woate ŋu awɔ Yesu la ŋuti.
But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.
12 Le nu siawo megbe la, Yesu yi to aɖe dzi gbe ɖeka be yeado gbe ɖa. Edo gbe ɖa na Mawu zã blibo katã.
It happened in these days, that he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.
13 Esi ŋu ke la, eyɔ eyomenɔlawo katã ƒo ƒui, eye wòtia ame wuieve le wo dome bena woanye yeƒe nusrɔ̃lawo. Ame siawoe woyɔ be apostolowo.
When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:
14 Ameawo ƒe ŋkɔwoe nye, Simɔn (ame si wòna ŋkɔe be Petro), Andrea si nye Simɔn nɔviŋutsu, Yakobo, Yohanes, Filipo, Bartolomeo,
Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew;
15 Mateo, Toma, Yakobo si nye Alfeo vi, Simɔn ame si nye Zelote dunyaheha sesẽ aɖe me nɔla;
and Matthew and Thomas; and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon, who was called the Zealot;
16 Yuda si nye Yakobo vi, kple Yuda Iskariɔt ame si va zu yomemɔfiala.
and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
17 Esi wòɖi tso toa dzi la, nusrɔ̃lawo kple eyomenɔlawo va ƒo ƒu ɖe Yesu ŋuti le gbadzaƒe aɖe. Ameha gã aɖe hã va ɖe to ɖe wo, amewo tso Yudea nutowo me katã kple Yerusalem. Ɖewo tso keke Sidon kple Tiro ƒutaduwo me ke
He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a large crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon,
18 va be yewoaɖo toe alo be wòada gbe le yewo ŋu. Gbe ma gbe la, enya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ geɖewo le amewo me.
who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.
19 Ame geɖewo ŋutɔ nɔ didim be yewoaka asi eŋu, elabena ŋusẽ do go tso eme, eye wòda gbe le wo katã ŋu.
All the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.
20 Azɔ etrɔ ɖe eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo gbɔ hegblɔ na wo be, “Dzidzɔ gã ŋutɔ le mi ame siwo nye ame dahewo la lalalm, elabena miawo tɔe nye mawufiaɖuƒe la.
He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said, "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God.
21 Dzidzɔ gã ŋutɔ le mi ame siwo wum dɔ le la lalam, elabena miawoe aɖi ƒo. Dzidzɔ gã ŋutɔ le mi ame siwo le avi fam fifia la lalam, elabena ɣeyiɣi gbɔna esi miava ko nu.
Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
22 Dzidzɔ gã ŋutɔ le mia lalam, ne amewo lé fu mi, ɖe mi le woƒe ha me, eye wodzu mi, heƒo ɖi miaƒe ŋkɔ ɖe Amegbetɔ Vi la ta!
Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake.
23 “Dzi nedzɔ mi, eye mitso aseye, elabena fetu nyui le mia lalam le dziƒo. Alea tututue wo fofowo wɔ ɖe nyagblɔɖila siwo do ŋgɔ na mi la hã ŋuti.
Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for look, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.
24 “Ao, baba na mi kesinɔtɔwo, elabena wokpɔ dzidzɔ le anyigba sia dzi xoxo.
"But woe to you who are rich. For you have received your consolation.
25 Babaa na mi ame siwo ƒe ƒodo yɔ, elabena dɔwuame sesẽ aɖe le ŋgɔ na wo gbɔna.
Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
26 Woƒe nukoko ɖe yame fifia ava zu konyifafa na wo. Babaa na mi ame siwo ŋu amewo aƒo nu nyui le, elabena nenema kee wo fofowo wɔ na aʋatsonyagblɔɖilawo.
Woe when all people speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.
27 “Ke mi ame siwo le to ɖom la, mele egblɔm na mi be: Milɔ̃ miaƒe futɔwo, eye miawɔ nyui na ame siwo lé fu mi la.
"But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 Miyra ame siwo ƒo fi de mi la, eye mido gbe ɖa ɖe ame siwo wɔa fu mi la ta.
bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.
29 “Nenye be ame aɖe ƒo wò tome ɖeka la, trɔ evelia hã nɛ wòaƒo! Nenye be ame aɖe tsɔ wò dziwui la, mègagbe wò awutewuitsɔtsɔ nɛ o.
To the person who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from the person who takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt either.
30 Ne nu le asiwò, eye ame aɖe bia wò la, nae eye mègabia be netrɔe vɛ na ye o.
Give to everyone who asks you, and do not ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.
31 Ale si tututu nèdina be amewo newɔ na ye la, wò hã wɔ na wo nenema.
And as you would like people to do to you, you also do the same to them.
32 “Ne mielɔ̃ mia lɔ̃lawo ɖeɖe ko ɖe, miebui be miewɔ nanea? Ame siwo nye nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo hã lɔ̃a wo xɔlɔ̃wo.
If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
33 Ne miewɔa dɔmenyo na ame siwo wɔa dɔmenyo na mi ko ɖe, akpedada kae li na mi? Nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo gɔ̃ hã wɔna nenema!
If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
34 Ne miedoa ga na ame siwo miele mɔ kpɔm na be woagaxee na mi emegbe ɖe, nu nyui kae wònye miewɔ? Nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔla akuakuawo hã doa nu na wo tɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔlawo be yewoaxɔ nenema ke emegbe.
If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.
35 “Milɔ̃ miaƒe ketɔwo, eye miwɔ dɔmenyo na wo. Mido nu na wo, eye migakpɔ mɔ na exɔxɔ o. Ne miewɔ esia la, ekema miaƒe fetu asɔ gbɔ le dziƒo, eye mianye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe viwo elabena eya ŋutɔ nyoa dɔme na akpemadalawo kple tagbɔ sesẽ tɔwo hã.
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.
36 “Mizu nublanuikpɔlawo abe ale si mia Fofo hã nye nublanuikpɔla ene.
Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.
37 “Migadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ame aɖeke, eye Mawu hã nadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu mi o. Migabu fɔ ame aɖeke, eye Mawu hã nabu fɔ mi o. Mitsɔ amewo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ke wo, eye Mawu hã natsɔ miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ake mi.
Do not judge, and you won't be judged. Do not condemn, and you won't be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
38 Mina nu, eye woana nu miawo hã. Nu siwo katã miena la, woatrɔ wo vɛ na mi woasɔ gbɔ agbã go sãa wu esi sinu miena, eye woatsɔe aɖo akɔ na mi. Dzidzenu si mietsɔ dzidze nui na amewo la, eya kee woatsɔ dzidze nui na miawo hã.”
"Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you."
39 Yesu yi edzi do lo sia na wo be, “Ɖe ŋkugbãtɔ ate ŋu akplɔ ŋkuagbãtɔa? Ɖe wo kple eve la mage adze do me oa?
He spoke a parable to them. "Can the blind guide the blind? Won't they both fall into a pit?
40 Nusrɔ̃la mewua eƒe nufiala o. Ke ame sia ame si xɔ hehe nyuitɔ la anɔ ko abe eƒe nufiala ene.
A disciple is not above the teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.
41 “Nu ka ta nèkpɔa ati fefi si le nɔviwò ƒe ŋku dzi, gake mèkpɔa atikpo si le wò ŋutɔ wò ŋku dzi o mahã?
And why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
42 Aleke wɔ nàgblɔ na nɔviwò be, ‘Nɔvi, na maɖe ati fefi si le wò ŋku dzi la ɖa na wò,’ esi màte ŋu akpɔ gãa si le wò ŋutɔ wò ŋkuwo dzi aɖe o? Alakpanuwɔla, ɖe atikpo si le wò ŋku dzi la ɖa gbã ekema àte ŋu akpɔ nu nyuie, ale be nàte ŋu aɖe nɔviwò ƒe ati fefi la ɖa nɛ.
Or how can you tell your brother, 'Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite. First remove the log from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother's eye.
43 “Ati nyui aɖeke mate ŋu atse ku manyomanyo o, eye ati manyomanyo mate ŋu atse ku nyui o.
For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that brings forth good fruit.
44 Ku si ati aɖe tsena lae wotsɔna dzea si ati si ƒomevi wònye lae; elabena womegbea gbowo le ŋutiwo dzi o, alo wotsoa wainkpo le ŋuve me.
For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.
45 Ame nyui ƒe nuƒo fiana be nu nyui wɔwɔ yɔ eƒe dzi me. Ke ame vɔ̃ɖi ya ƒe dzi me yɔna fũu kple nu vɔ̃, eye eƒe nuƒo ɖea vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi sia fiana.
The good person out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil person out of the evil treasure brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.
46 “Nu ka tae mieyɔam be ‘Aƒetɔ, Aƒetɔ’, evɔ miewɔa nye gbe dzi o?
"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say?
47 Ame sia ame si vaa gbɔnye, eye wòsea nye nya, eye wòwɔa edzi la, mafia ame si wòɖi mi.
Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like.
48 Eɖi ame aɖe si tu xɔ, eɖe do goglo, eye wòɖo gɔmeɖokpe nyuie ɖe kpe gbadza dzi, ke esi tɔ ɖɔ, eye tsi ɖe xɔa la, mete ŋu mui o, elabena wotui nyuie.
He is like someone building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
49 Ke ame si sea nye nya, eye mewɔna ɖe edzi o la le abe ame aɖe si tu eƒe xɔ ɖe anyigba, eye meɖo gɔmeɖokpe nɛ o la ene. Esi tsi dza ɖɔ ɖe eŋu la, xɔ sia mu gbloo, hegbã gudugudu.”
But he who hears, and does not do, is like someone who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."
