Luka 8
1 Le esia megbe la, Yesu kplɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo ɖe asi eye wode asi tsatsa me le du kple kɔƒe siwo le Galilea nutowo me la me nɔ gbeƒã ɖem mawufiaɖuƒe ŋu nyanyui la.
And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
2 Nyɔnu aɖe si me wònya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo le kple esiwo ŋu wòda gbe le la kplɔ wo ɖo. Wo dometɔ aɖewoe nye Maria Magdalatɔ ame si me wònya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ adre le,
And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
3 Yohana, Kuza srɔ̃, Kuza sia nye Fia Herod ƒe fiasã bliboa dzi kpɔla, Susana kple ame bubu geɖe siwo tsɔ woawo ŋutɔ ƒe ga kple nuɖuɖu nɔ Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dzi kpɔmii.
And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered to him of their substance.
4 Gbe ɖeka esi ame geɖe gaƒo ƒu ɖe Yesu ŋu be yewoase eƒe nyawo, eye bubuwo hã ganɔ mɔ dzi gbɔna tso du bubuwo me la, edo lo sia na wo be,
And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spoke by a parable:
5 “Agbledela aɖe yi eƒe agble me be yeaƒã nuku. Esi wònɔ nukuawo wum la, ɖewo ge ɖe mɔƒome, eye amewo va zɔ wo dzi. Xeviwo hã va fɔ wo mi.
A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 Nuku aɖewo hã ge ɖe kpenyigba dzi. Nuku siawo de asi miemie me, gake wova yrɔ elabena woƒe kewo mete ŋu yi tome ʋĩi afi si woakpɔ tsi le o.
And some fell on a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
7 Bubuwo ge ɖe ŋugbewo me, eye womie kple ŋuawo, gake ŋuawo va vu tsyɔ̃ wo dzi, eye wotsrɔ̃.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 Nuku bubuwo ya ge ɖe anyigba nyui dzi, ale wotsi, tse ku alafa nanewo wu esi agbledela la wu.” Esi wògblɔ ŋutinya sia vɔ la, egblɔ be, “Ame si to senu li na la nesee.”
And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bore fruit an hundred times. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
9 Eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va egbɔ be wòaɖe lododo la gɔme na yewo.
And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
10 Ke egblɔ na wo be, “Miawo la, wona nunya mi be miase mawufiaɖuƒe la ƒe nu ɣaɣlawo gɔme, ke hena ame bubuwo la, meƒoa nu na wo le lododowo me ale be, “‘Ne wokpɔ nu la, womadze sii o, ne wose nu hã la, womase egɔme o.’”
And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
11 Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Lododo la gɔmee nye esi, nuku lae nye Mawu ƒe nya si wòtsɔ vɛ na amegbetɔwo.
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Mɔƒome afi si nuku aɖewo ge ɖo lae nye ame siwo ƒe dziwo ku atri. Ame siawo ƒomevi sea Mawu ƒe nya, gake Abosam vana, eye wòɖea nya la le woƒe dzi me ale be wometea ŋu xɔa edzi sena be woakpɔ ɖeɖe o.
Those by the way side are they that hear; then comes the devil, and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 Esiwo ge ɖe kpenyigba dzi lae nye ame siwo ne wose nya la la, woxɔnɛ kple dzidzɔ, gake metoa ke ɖe woƒe dziwo me be wòatsi o. Woxɔna sena ɣeyiɣi aɖe, ke le tetekpɔ ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me la, wogbɔdzɔna.
They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 Nuku si ge ɖe ŋu me lae nye ame siwo sea mawunya eye woxɔnɛ sena, gake agbe sia me ƒe fuɖenamewo, kesinɔnuwo, aglotutu, dzidzɔkpɔkpɔwo kple ŋutilã ƒe dzidzɔdonamenuwo vuna tsyɔ̃a nya la dzi le woƒe dziwo me, ale be wometsea ku ɖina o.
And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 Ke anyigba nyui lae nye ame siwo se nya la kple dzi nyui si dza, eye wolé eme ɖe asi sesĩe, ale wotsea ku le dzigbɔɖi me.”
But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 Ɣe bubu ɣi la, Yesu bia ameawo be, “Ame kae se kpɔ be ame aɖe si akaɖi, eye wòtsɔ nu tsyɔ edzi be megaklẽ o. Gbeɖe, akaɖi la, akaɖiti dzie wodanɛ ɖo be wòaklẽ be amewo nakpɔ nu.
No man, when he has lighted a candle, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed; but sets it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
17 Esia fia be gbe ɖeka la, woahe nu sia nu si le amewo ƒe dzi me la ɖe gaglãgbe be ame sia ame nakpɔ.
For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
18 Le esia ta mikpɔ nyuie le nu siwo miesena la ŋu elabena ame si si nu le la, eyae woagana nui, eye ame si si nu mele o la, woaxɔ esi wòbu be ele ye si la hã le esi.”
Take heed therefore how you hear: for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, from him shall be taken even that which he seems to have.
19 Gbe ɖeka Yesu nɔviawo kple dadaa wova be yewoakpɔe ɖa. Amewo sɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe be dadaa kple nɔviawo mete ŋu te ɖe eŋu o.
Then came to him his mother and his brothers, and could not come at him for the press.
20 Ame aɖe va gblɔ na Yesu be dadaa kple nɔviawo le edim be yewoakpɔ.
And it was told him by certain which said, Your mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to see you.
21 Esi Yesu se be ye dada kple ye nɔviwo le xexe le ye dim la, egblɔ be, “Danye kple nɔvinyewoe nye ame siwo katã sea mawunya la, eye wowɔna ɖe edzi hã.”
And he answered and said to them, My mother and my brothers are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
22 Gbe bubu gbe esi eya kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo nɔ ʋu aɖe me le ƒua dzi la, Yesu bia tso nusrɔ̃lawo si be woaku ʋua yi ƒua ƒe go evelia dzi.
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23 Esi wonɔ ʋua me le ƒua dzi yina la, Yesu dɔ alɔ̃. Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, ahom tu, eye ƒutsotsoewo ge ɖe ʋu la me, eye woƒe agbe ɖo xaxa gã aɖe me.
But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
24 Nusrɔ̃lawo ɖe abla va Yesu gbɔ heʋuʋui, eye wònyɔ. Wogblɔ nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, Aƒetɔ, míele nyɔnyrɔm!” Ale Yesu fɔ, eye wòblu ɖe ahom la ta. Enumake ɖoɖoe gã aɖe zi eye ahom la dzudzɔ. Ya la kple ƒutsotsoeawo dze kɔ anyi kpoo.
And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 Azɔ ebia eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Afi ka míaƒe xɔse le?” Wo katã ƒe mo wɔ yaa, eye vɔvɔ̃ lé wo. Ɖeko wobia wo nɔewo be, “Ame kae nye ame sia, be ya kple ƒutsotsoewo gɔ̃ hã ɖoa toe?”
And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commands even the winds and water, and they obey him.
26 Wova ɖi go ɖe Gadaratɔwo ƒe anyigba si le Galilea ƒua godo la dzi.
And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 Esi wonɔ go dom tso ʋua me ko la, ŋutsu aɖe si me gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo le, eye megado awu kpɔ o la si du tso Gadara dua me va kpe Yesu. Nɔƒe aɖeke mele ame sia si abe aƒe me ene o. Agado siwo me woɖi ame kukuwo ɖo la me wòmlɔna.
And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither stayed in any house, but in the tombs.
28 Esi wòkpɔ Yesu teti ko la, etsɔ eɖokui xlã ɖe anyigba le eŋgɔ henɔ ɣli dom be, “Nu ka dim nèle le gbɔnye, wò Yesu, Mawu Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe Vi. Meɖe kuku na wò, mègawɔ funyafunyam o!”
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of God most high? I beseech you, torment me not.
29 Egblɔ nya sia, elabena Yesu de asi gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la nyanya me le eme xoxo. Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ sia xɔ amea me ale gbegbe be ne woblae kple gakɔsɔkɔsɔ hã la, etsoa kɔsɔkɔsɔa bɔbɔe hesina ɖoa gbe.
(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he broke the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
30 Yesu bia gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃a be, “Ŋkɔwò ɖe?” Eɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ŋkɔnyee nye Legio,” elabena gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ geɖe yi eme.
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is your name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
31 Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃awo ɖe kuku na Yesu vevie be meganya yewo de do globo si seɖoƒe meli na o la me o. (Abyssos g12)
And they sought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. (Abyssos g12)
32 Aƒehawo ƒe ha gã aɖe nɔ nu ɖum le to si te ɖe wo ŋu la kɔgo le ɣeyiɣi sia me, eye gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃awo ɖe kuku na Yesu be nena yewoayi aɖage ɖe wo me. Ale Yesu na mɔ wo.
And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they sought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
33 Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃awo do go le amea me yi ɖage ɖe haawo me. Enumake haawo katã ƒu du sesĩe tso toa kɔgo yi ɖadze ƒu me doo heno tsi ku.
Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
34 Esi hakplɔlawo kpɔ nu siwo dzɔ la, wolé du tsɔ sesĩe tu ta duwo kple kɔƒe siwo te ɖe afi ma ŋu la me, eye esi wonɔ yiyim la, wonɔ nu si dzɔ la gblɔm na amewo.
When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
35 Eteƒe medidi o la, ameha gã aɖe va do be yewoakpɔ nu kple yewo ŋutɔ ƒe ŋkuwo. Wokpɔ ame si me gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃awo nɔ kpɔ la, eƒe mo kɔ, eye wòdo awu henɔ anyi ɖe Yesu ƒe afɔ nu kpoo, esia wɔe be vɔvɔ̃ gã aɖe ɖo ameawo katã.
Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
36 Ame siwo kpɔ ale si Yesu da gbe le gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ tɔ la ŋui la gblɔe na wo tɔ bubuawo.
They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
37 Ale Gadaratɔwo ƒe nutometɔwo katã ɖe kuku na Yesu be wòadzo le yewo gbɔ kpoo, elabena vɔvɔ̃ lé wo. Ke Yesu ge ɖe ʋua me hedzo le afi ma.
Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about sought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
38 Hafi wòadzo la, ame si me wònya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃awo le la ɖe kuku nɛ vevie be yeayi kplii. Ke Yesu gbe gblɔ nɛ be,
Now the man out of whom the devils were departed sought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 “Trɔ nàyi wò ƒometɔwo gbɔ, eye nàgblɔ nu gã si Mawu wɔ na wò la na wo.” Ale ŋutsu sia dze mɔ nɔ tsatsam le dua me henɔ nukunu gã si Yesu wɔ la gblɔm na ameawo.
Return to your own house, and show how great things God has done to you. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done to him.
40 Ke esi Yesu trɔ va la, ameha la xɔe atuu, elabena wonɔ mɔ kpɔm na eƒe vava xoxoxo.
And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
41 Azɔ ŋutsu aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Yairo si nye Yudatɔwo ƒe ƒuƒoƒedzikpɔlawo dometɔ ɖeka la va Yesu gbɔ dze klo ɖe eƒe afɔ nu heɖe kuku nɛ vevie be nekplɔ ye ɖo yi aƒe me,
And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and sought him that he would come into his house:
42 elabena vinyɔnuvi ɖeka hɔ̃ si le ye si si xɔ ƒe wuieve la le kudɔ ƒom. Yesu dze eyome enumake, gake ameha la mimii ɖo.
For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
43 Nyɔnu aɖe nɔ afi ma, ame si le ʋusisidɔ lém ƒe wuieve sɔŋ, gake ame aɖeke mete ŋu yɔ dɔe o.
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living on physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 Nyɔnu sia va te ɖe eŋu le emegbe, eye wòka asi eƒe awu to, enumake eƒe ʋusisidɔ la tɔ.
Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
45 Ke Yesu trɔ bia be, “Ame kae ka asi ŋunye?” Ame aɖeke melɔ̃ be yee o. Ke Petro gblɔ nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ ameha la mimi wò ɖo, eye wote ɖe ŋuwò kpokploe, aleke wɔ nàbia be ame kae ka asi ye ŋu?”
And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng you and press you, and say you, Who touched me?
46 Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Gbeɖe, ame aɖe ɖoe koŋ ka asi ŋunye, elabena ŋusẽ si le menye la ƒe ɖe do le menye.”
And Jesus said, Somebody has touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 Nyɔnu si wɔ nenem nu sia la kpɔe be nu si yewɔ la le nyanya na Yesu eya ta etsɔ vɔvɔ̃ kple dzodzo nyanyanya va dze klo ɖe eŋkume hegblɔ nu si ta wòka asi eŋu kple ale si wòkpɔ dɔyɔyɔ enumake la nɛ.
And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared to him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Vinyɔnu, wò xɔse da gbe le ŋuwò. Heyi le ŋutifafa me.”
And he said to her, Daughter, be of good comfort: your faith has made you whole; go in peace.
49 Le esime Yesu nɔ nu ƒom na nyɔnu la la, ame aɖe tso ƒuƒoƒemegã Yairo ƒe aƒe me va do kple nya sia be via nyɔnuvi sue la ku. Ame dɔdɔa gblɔ na Yairo be, “Viwò la ku xoxo eya ta viɖe aɖeke mele eme be nàgaɖe fu na Nufiala la o.”
While he yet spoke, there comes one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, Your daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
50 Esi Yesu se nya si amea tsɔ vɛ la, egblɔ na ɖevia fofo be, “Mègavɔ̃ o! Wò ya xɔ se ko, ekema viwòa agagbɔ agbe.”
But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
51 Esi woɖo aƒea me la, Yesu de se be ame aɖeke nagage ɖe xɔ si me ɖevia le kple ye o negbe Petro, Yohanes, Yakobo kple ɖevia fofo kple dadaa ko.
And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
52 Aƒea me ŋutɔ yɔ fũu kple konyifala siwo nɔ avi fam. Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Midzudzɔ avia. Ɖevia meku o, alɔ̃ ko dɔm wòle!”
And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeps.
53 Nya sia ɖi kokoe na ameawo, elabena wonya nyuie be ɖevia ku.
And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54 Azɔ Yesu zɔ ɖe ɖevia dzi le xɔa me, eye wòlé eƒe alɔnu heyɔe gblɔ be, “Vinye tsi tsitre.”
And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
55 Eye eƒe gbɔgbɔ gagbugbɔ, eye enumake wòtsi tsitre kpla. Yesu gblɔ na ameawo be, “Mina nanee wòaɖu!”
And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
56 Dzi dzɔ ɖevia dzilawo ŋutɔ. Ke Yesu de se na wo vevie be womegagblɔ nu si dzɔ la na ame aɖeke o.
And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
