Luke 8 (EKA) · Opened

1Eji ma jol ano, Jisos kehm jo jen yannge ajahbe ajahbe ajahbe, jo bung alum Esowo, fere jo tiingi nnoobo etib bi etul bi Esowo. Abatꞌtoono ebe, ewubu ane abal, jolo a ne o,Soon afterward, Jesus traveled from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,

2a anebkal bandiki ba á kame bo abi atohko yehke, fere lim bo nob ayam ebo. Meri ji bo jo lung-e re Meri ji lohng go Magdala tob woomo go ellong ane bao, ye ji á kam-e abi atohko na asehma yehke,as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3go Joanna nkal a Kusa, Kusa ji jolo ntubesi no alokeltum ba jolo go nlaaga Herod, go Susanna, a anebkal gbalee bako ba jo kak Jisos, a abatꞌtoono ebe ebo go nsol nyi bo bele no.Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4Eji ellong ane gbalee kpi nlohngo nlohngo go ajahbe ajahbe ajahbe, ba kono edi ajehng goji Jisos, owo á kehm tubu bo elgan nia re,While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5“Nne jolo go, no tahme re á song wohngo amohk nti enye go ege egbe. Eji á jo wohngo, nyandiki fooro gbo go mbang. Ane ba kadde sehng. Nruk ba suudu mele.“A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, where it was trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.

6“Nyandiki gbo noongo go ndi nyi jolo atal atal. Amohk nti nyao gulu elmahnge, fere kpo, waange, tibre ndi waange sehng.Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7“Nyandiki gbo kuumu go elkob akpiri, mahng. Akpiri kehm gbale, bulu akohdo nti nyao.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8“Nyako gbo noongo go nnooba ndi, kehm mahnge, gbal, kab akab, etasok ajehng ajehng nkab atahl alon alon.” Eji Jisos ma bung ano, á kehm rabe re, “Nne no kpi atung, nong, á wuk!”Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprang up and produced a crop—a hundredfold.” As Jesus said this, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

9Abatꞌtoono Jisos kehm-e bahbe ana elgan nia lohngo no.Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10Owo Jisos kehm faange bo re, “Bo ma-n ka elkahne nio ni nsol nyi li ka etul bi Esowo, nyi Esowo behre no. Egom ane bako kpo wuk ngaane ngaane, eji ‘bo lꞌseenge na seenge, kꞌnyehn, fere wuk na wuk, kꞌkahn ana lohngo no.’He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’

11“Ana wo elgan nia lohngo no. Amohk nti nyao, alum Esowo nya.Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12“Amohk nti nya gbo noongo go mbang lohngo ana ane ba kpo wuk alum Esowo. Nnehm ba yehke alum nyao go bo a ntim, eji bo lꞌkꞌtaame, fere bel eltahre.The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.

13“Amohk nti nya gbo noongo go ndi nyi li atal atal lohngo ana ane ba lꞌwuk alum Esowo. Bo ko go eyebatahng. Alohk bo nehm bel. Bo kpo toono Esowo mmongare ntiil. Elgaare lꞌba, bo yak-e.The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word and receive it with joy, but they have no root. They believe for a season, but in the time of testing, they fall away.

14“Amohk nti nya gbo kuumu elkob akpiri lohngo ana ane ba ma wuk alum Esowo. Atꞌtiiri nya njini nyia, ekor afang, a ekor nsol nyi njini kpo lim, nsol nyi nyi kpo ra yel go bo a ntim, song bulu alum Esowo tv, akab nehm kul.The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.

15“Amohk nti nya gbo noongo go nnooba ndi lohngo ana ane ba ma wuk alum Esowo, fere ko, kuuru go bo anoobo ntim nya enehm abehng abehng ki wob, soro asi, jo kab akab.But the seeds on good soil are those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, cling to it, and by persevering produce a crop.

16“Nnene limm, no ma nyꞌnyaale etꞌrekahng, rod ejeere konngo, jol rod, kak go nla ekpꞌkuru. Á bahke rodo na, kunu go ejum ji bo kpo kunu etꞌrekahng, eji ane ba kpꞌyele ekpꞌkpa lꞌjo nyehn ellennge nio.No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

17Tibre ejum ajehng ajehng limm, ji bo behre no, ji lꞌkꞌjol gbuul. Jol ejum ajehng ajehng limm, ji li go mbiiri, ji lꞌkꞌlohng gbuul, ane fere kahn.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18“Jo kunen ekpu ana ń kpo wuk nsol. Nne awohng awohng no kpi no, bo bahk-e kake na budu. Nne awohng awohng no ki kpi, jio ji á tiri no re á kpꞌkpi, bo bahk-e taare na.”Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”

19Nnyehn Jisos, a abonanyehn Jisos kehm bake. Bo tikem ma rehng goji Jisos tib ellong ane.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20Owo ane bao kehm-e tongo re, “Nne, a abonane, bo baa, yim go elatahk kpꞌsebe re bo nyehn-a.”He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21Jisos kehm faange bo re, “Ane ba lꞌwuk alum Esowo, fere jo lim, bo ba li babnnee, a abonanee.”But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22Efung abehng Jisos kehm yele go egbang, a abatꞌtoono ebe, kehm tongo bo re, “Nong, wahr siiren rehng egbuk eto jehko.” Owo bo kehm soro tahm.One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out.

23Eji bo jo fing asongo, Jisos kehm gboko ellu. Owo egburu nfeb kehm ba kehme ellimi go eto jio, alahb kehm kehme elkimi yel egbang, ba elruru. Bo jolo efin efin ngare nyio.As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.

24Owo abatꞌtoono ebe kehm ba kpir-e, kehm-e nyahme re, “Nsoo, nsoo, e kpꞌtane na ao!” Jisos kehm mehle yiimi, kehm nyame nfeb, a ebuku ji jo lim nsahm nsahm. Kehm rahke, edi naange soom.The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters, and they subsided, and all was calm.

25Jisos kehm bungu tong bo re, “Anv, eltaame enahne nꞌna me?” Owo bo kehm kehme elfahle, fere jo kpo bo esi. Bo kehm kehme elbungu atemtem re, “Anv, ye elkohn nne awoe, no kpo bung tong nfeb, a ebuku, wuk-e?”“Where is your faith?” He asked. Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”

26Bo kehm song rehng go Gerasa ji jolo egbuk eto jehko. Galili egbuk jehka.Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27Eji Jisos wahre go egbuk, nne awohng lohngo go nla ejahbe, kehm ba wan-e. Nne noo bele abi atohko ekidi eblab. Á jo jene ebun ebun. Á joom kang etahk, á jo kange edi ji alahm akvne jolo no.When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.

28Á nyehne kan Jisos a, á kehm rabe, gbo-e go alata, fere jo bung wahre wahre re, “E li nfem anyi awahr a na, Jisos ji Mmon Esowo bi gbale sehng? N kp-a gboongo re, wo ki-m kak erem.”When the man saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You not to torture me!”

29Tibre Jisos tohko tong esabsab etohko jio re á lohng nne noo. Nkpel tvv etohko jio jo yehk-e. Jol eji ane jo kak-e kak agbekobo go abo, a akpade akpade, fere jo baab-e, á jo kiimi na agbekobo nyao, ebi etohko jio jo yehk-e kak go elka emahng.For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places.

30Owo Jisos kehm-e bahbe re, “Mbing enya mee?” Á kehm faange re, “Egom.” Tibre abi atohko gbalee woom-e go atahng.“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31Abi atohko nyao kehm gboongo Jisos re, á kꞌtong bo, bo je song yel go nrabbe elbing.And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32Ngare nyio ellong akuk gbalee jo li nsol ona go nkpe ewong. Abi atohko nyao kehm gboongo Jisos re á lub yake bo, bo song yel akuk nyao go atahng. Jisos kehm yake bo.There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.

33Owo abi atohko nyao kehm lohngo nne noo, song yel akuk go atahng. Akuk nyao kpee kehm beke, song fooro egbunggbung aya, yel alahb tan.Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

34Eji ane ba jo baabe akuk nyao nyehne ano, bo kehm beke, song tooro go etahk, a abon ajahbe ba jolo o.When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35Ane bao kehm lohngo ba re bo ba nyehn ejum ji ma lim. Eji bo ba kpiri Jisos, bo kehm tob ba nyehn nne no abi atohko lohng-e no, jehk go alata nya Jisos sange sange. Á ma kak nsol go ngubjing kpee. Owo bo kehm kehme elfahle.So the people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

36Ane ba nyehne ana ngbokesahl nyio ma nob, bo kehm song tooro tong ane bako.Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37Ane kpee ba lene ejang bio bi Gerasa kehm gboongo Jisos re á tahm o song. Tibre bo jo fahle sehng. Owo Jisos kehm song yel egbang re á feere kehnge.Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, because great fear had taken hold of them. So He got into the boat and started back.

38Nne no abi atohko lohng-e no kehm gboongo Jisos re, “Nong, me n jol a na!” Jisos kehm-e tongo re á song, fere bung re,The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39“Feere song kehnge, wo song tong ane ana ji Esowo ma lim ka-a.” Owo nne noo kehm tahme, song tooro tong ejahbe jio kpee bade egburu ejum ji Jisos ma lim ka-e.“Return home and describe how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.

40Eji Jisos feere no, ba rehng egbuk eto jehka, ane kehm-e jo gbaame. Tibre bo ji, jo sik-e.When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41Owo nne awohng kehm lohngo ba, no bo jo lung-e re Jairus ji jolo ntubesi etahk ero, ba gbo jamme Jisos alahng, fere gboong-e re, á lub je go ege etahk.Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42Tibre á bele mmon mmon awohng no nkal, no ma kang ewubu a nnya ebal. Á noongo go emel elkv. Eji Jisos jo jen mbang mbang asongo, ellong ane jo fahd-e na fahd kak.because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43Nnenkal awohng jolo o, no alung jo lohng-e go nnahb go ewubu a nnya ebal. Á rannge akpohko nya á bele no kpee, ka abalimakahm. Jol nnene we tikem ma lim, á nob.including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.

44Owo á kehm jeere kohlo Jisos go njahm, fere koor-e go ege esꞌsili nsubu. Tvtv o, alung eme kehm soro kimi.She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45Jisos kehm bahbe re, “Nne awo ma-m kooro a?” Eji ane kpee ma ten, Pita kehm bungu re, “Nsoo, ellong ane ni kpꞌjene a na, ni ni kp-a sehme.”“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46Owo Jisos kehm kpe bung re, “Nne ma-m kooro. Tibre me n kahn re, nsahm ma-m tele lohng.”But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47Eji nnenkal noo sebe kahn re, á nehm ma biiri, á kehm lohngo kpꞌkahme abake, ba gbo jamm-e alahng, kehm tooro go esamahr ane kpee, ana ji wahnge á koor-e no, fere tong ana á soro nob ngare nyꞌnehm o.Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.

48Owo Jisos kehm bungu re, “Mmon ewame, eltaame ena ni ma-a lim, a ma nob. Song go eyebatahng!”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49Eji Jisos kpi mbungu mbungu, nne awohng kehm lohngo etahk ntubesi ero noo, ba tong-e re, “Mmon ewa ebkpo. Ka kpe gbiingi ntꞌtibi mbol mbol.”While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”

50Eji Jisos wuku ano, owo á kehm-e faange re, “Ka kpe fahl, taame na taame! Á bahke nobo.”But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51Eji á ba rehng etahk jio, á taamem re nnene kpe yel ekpꞌkpa, sehngem Pita, Jon, a Jems, go nde mmon, a nnyehn, bo ba, á taame no bo yel.When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.

52Nne awohng awohng jo ji ndon ndon, fere jo ling. Owo Jisos kehm bungu re, “Kana kpe ling, mmon noa ka kpo, á kpꞌlale na.”Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53Bo kehm-e elwolo, tibre bo jo kahne kpee re, mmon noo ebkpo.And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54Jisos kame kan ane bao yehke, á kehm jabbe mmon noo go ebo, kehm rabe re, “Mmon, mehl!”But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Etohko mmon noo kehm soro feere ba yel-e, á soro mehl tvtv. Owo Jisos kehm tongo bo re, bo ka mmon noo nsol alehke, á li.Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56Nde, a nnyehn, kpo bo esi sehng. Owo Jisos kehm tongo bo re, bo kꞌtong nne awohng awohng ji ma lim.Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
