Mark 14 (EWE) · Opened

1Azɔ esusɔ ŋkeke eve pɛ ko ne Ŋutitoto kple Abolo Maʋamaʋã ƒe Ŋkekenyui la naɖo, eye nunɔlagãwo kple agbalẽfialawo ganɔ ayemɔ si dzi woato alé Yesu, awui le bebeme la dim.Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were two days away, and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a covert way to arrest Jesus and kill Him.

2Ke wogblɔ be, “Míate ŋu awui le ŋkekenyui la dzi o, ne míewɔe la, ʋunyaʋunya adzɔ.”“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

3Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Yesu le Betania, le Simɔn ame si lé kpodɔ kpɔ la ƒe aƒe me. Esi wonɔ fiẽnu ɖum la, nyɔnu aɖe tsɔ amiʋeʋĩ xɔasi aɖe, si le goe nyui aɖe me la vɛ. Eʋu nu le amiʋeʋĩ la nu, eye wòtrɔ wo katã kɔ ɖe Yesu ƒe tame.While Jesus was in Bethany reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke open the jar and poured it on Jesus’ head.

4Ame siwo nɔ kplɔa ŋu la dometɔ aɖewo bia wo nɔewo kple dziku be, “Nu ka ŋuti wògblẽ ami xɔasi sia ɖo?Some of those present, however, expressed their indignation to one another: “Why this waste of perfume?

5Woate ŋu adzrae wòaxɔ asi wu klosaloga alafa etɔ̃ eye woatsɔ ga la ama na ame dahewo.” Ale woka mo na nyɔnu la vevie.It could have been sold for over three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor.” And they scolded her.

6Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Miɖe asi le eŋu. Nu ka ŋuti miele fu ɖem nɛ? Nu nyui aɖe wònye wòwɔ nam.But Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

7Ame dahewo le mia dome ɣe sia ɣe eye miate ŋu ana kpekpeɖeŋu wo ɣe sia ɣi si mielɔ̃, ke nye la, nyemanɔ mia dome ɖaa o.The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them whenever you want. But you will not always have Me.

8“Nyɔnu sia wɔ nu si wòate ŋui la nam. Esi ami na nye ŋutilã, si ɖi ge wole le ŋkeke kpui aɖewo megbe la do ŋgɔ.She has done what she could to anoint My body in advance of My burial.

9Vavã mele egblɔm na mi be dɔ nyui si nyɔnu sia wɔ la mabu akpɔ o, afi sia afi si woagblɔ mawunya le, le xexe sia me godoo la, woagblɔ nu nyui si wòwɔ eye woakafui.”And truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”

10Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Yuda Iskariɔt, ame si nye Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka la do go dzaa yi nunɔlagãwo gbɔ be yeawɔ babla kpli wo le ale si wòade Yesu asi na wo be woawu la ŋu.Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.

11Esi nunɔlagãwo se nu si ta wòva wo gbɔ ɖo la, wokpɔ dzidzɔ ŋutɔ ale wodo ga home aɖe ŋugbe nɛ. Le esia ta Yuda Iskariɔt de asi teƒe kple gaƒoƒo nyuitɔ si me wòade Yesu asi la didi me.They were delighted to hear this, and they promised to give him money. So Judas began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

12Le Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ si dzi woawu alẽviwo le la, Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va egbɔ eye wobiae be, “Afi ka míele Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖu ge le?”On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed, Jesus’ disciples asked Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

13Edɔ nusrɔ̃la eve ɖo ɖe Yerusalem be woawɔ dzadzraɖo ɖe ŋkeke la ɖuɖu ŋu. Egblɔ na wo be, “Ne miege ɖe dua me le yiyim la, miado go ŋutsu aɖe si lé tsize ɖe ta.So He sent two of His disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him,

14Mikplɔ ame sia ɖo eye miage ɖe aƒe si me wòage ɖo la me. Migblɔ na aƒea tɔ be, ‘Míaƒe Aƒetɔe dɔ mí be míava kpɔ xɔ si me nèdzra ɖo ɖi na mí be míaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la le!’and whichever house he enters, say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is My guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’

15Aƒetɔ la akplɔ mi ayi dziƒoxɔ dzi eye wòafia xɔ gã aɖe si me wòdzra ɖo la mi. Miɖo kplɔ̃ ɖe afi ma hena míaƒe Ŋutitotoŋkeke la ɖuɖu.”And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

16Nusrɔ̃la eveawo yi dua me eye wokpɔ be nu sia nu si Yesu gblɔ na wo la va eme tututu, ale wowɔ Ŋutitotoŋkeke la ƒe nuɖuɖu ɖoɖo da ɖi.So the disciples left and went into the city, where they found everything as Jesus had described. And they prepared the Passover.

17Le fiẽ me la, Yesu va ɖo kple nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo.When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve.

18Esime wonɔ anyi ɖe kplɔ̃a ŋu nɔ nua ɖum la, Yesu gblɔ na nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Vavã mele egblɔm na mi be mia dometɔ ɖeka si le nu ɖum kplim fifia la adem asi.”And while they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”

19Wo katã woxa nu, eye wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe bia Yesu ɖekaɖekae be, “Nyee nye ame si ade wò asia?”They began to be grieved and to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I?”

20Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Mi ame wuieve siwo ƒe asi le agba me le nu ɖum kplim fifia la dometɔ ɖekae le nu sia wɔ ge.He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with Me.

21Amegbetɔ Vi la aku abe ale si Mawu ƒe gbeƒãɖelawo gblɔe da ɖi xoxoxo la ene, gake baba na ame si adem asi la. Le nyateƒe me la, ɖe womegaxa dzii o la anyo nɛ wu.”The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

22Esi wonɔ nua ɖum la, Yesu tsɔ abolo ɖe asi, da akpe ɖe eta eye wòŋe eme hetsɔe na nusrɔ̃lawo gblɔ be, “Mixɔe ɖu, esiae nye nye ŋutilã.”While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it; this is My body.”

23Etsɔ wainkplu la heda akpe ɖe eta, eye wòtsɔe na wo eye wo katã wonoe le enu.Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

24Egblɔ na wo be, “Esiae nye nye ʋu, si wotsɔ tre nubabla yeye la nui. Esi wokɔ ɖe anyi ɖe ame geɖewo ta.He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

25Mele egblɔm na mi le nyateƒe me be, nyemagano naneke tso wain ƒe kutsetse me o, va se ɖe gbe ma gbe, esime manoe yeyee le mawufiaɖuƒe la me.”Truly I tell you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.”

26Le esia megbe la, wodzi ha, da akpe na Mawu eye wodo go yi Amito la dzi.And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

27Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Mi katã miele nu gbe ge le gbɔnye, elabena Mawu gblɔ to eƒe gbeƒãɖelawo dzi be, “ ‘Mele alẽkplɔla la ƒo ge, eye alẽawo akaka gbẽe.’Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’

28Gake ne mefɔ ɖe tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome la, madze mia ŋgɔ ayi Galilea, afi si mado go mi le.”But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

29Petro gblɔ nɛ be, “Ne ame sia ame gblẽ wò ɖi hã la, nye ya nyemagblẽ wò ɖi gbeɖe o!”Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I never will.”

30Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Petro, nyateƒe gblɔm mele na wò be, hafi koklo naku atɔ zi eve etsɔ fɔŋli la, àgbe nu le gbɔnye zi etɔ̃.”“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”

31Petro gblɔ kple kakaɖedzi be, “Gbeɖe, nyemagblẽ wò ɖi akpɔ o. Ne ehiã be maku kpli wò kura gɔ̃ hã la, malɔ̃ aku faa.” Nusrɔ̃la mamlɛawo hã ɖe adzɔgbe nenema ke.But Peter kept insisting, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the others said the same thing.

32Azɔ wova ɖo teƒe si woyɔna be Getsemanebɔ la me. Yesu gblɔ na eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Minɔ afi sia ne mayi aɖado gbe ɖa.”Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

33Ekplɔ Petro, Yakobo kple Yohanes ɖe asi. Le gaƒoƒo sia me la, vevesese helĩhelĩ kple nuxaxa yɔ eme.He took with Him Peter, James, and John, and began to be deeply troubled and distressed.

34Egblɔ na nusrɔ̃la etɔ̃awo be, “Nuxaxa te ɖe nye luʋɔ dzi ale gbegbe be ɖeko wòwɔ abe ɖe mele kukum ene. Minɔ afi sia mianɔ ŋudzɔ kplim.”Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch.”

35Azɔ la, ezɔ yi ŋgɔ vie ɖatsyɔ mo anyi eye wòdo gbe ɖa bia be ne ele bɔbɔe la, gaƒoƒo la nato ye ŋu ayi.Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him.

36Egblɔ be, “Aba, Fofo, nu sia nu wɔwɔ le bɔbɔe na wò. Na kplu sia nato nunye ayi, ke menye nu si nye ŋutɔ medi o, ke boŋ wò lɔlɔ̃nu nava eme.”“Abba, Father,” He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”

37Le esia megbe la, etrɔ yi nusrɔ̃la etɔ̃awo gbɔ eye wòva ke ɖe wo ŋu wonɔ alɔ̃ dɔm. Yesu yɔ Petro gblɔ be, “Simɔn, alɔ̃ dɔm mielea? Ekema miate ŋu anɔ ŋudzɔ kplim gaƒoƒo ɖeka pɛ teti hã oa?Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?

38Minɔ ŋudzɔ, eye miado gbe ɖa be miage ɖe tetekpɔ me o. Gbɔgbɔ la le klalo, gake ŋutilã ya gbɔdzɔ.”Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

39Yesu gatrɔ yi teƒe la, eye wògado gbe ɖa vevie, hegbugbɔ nu siwo wòbia tsã la bia.Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing.

40Esi wògatrɔ va la, ekpɔ nusrɔ̃lawo woganɔ alɔ̃ dɔm ko, elabena alɔ̃ bla woƒe ŋkuwo. Womenya nya si woagblɔ nɛ esi wòva kpɔ wo o.And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.

41Etrɔ gbɔ va wo gbɔ zi etɔ̃lia eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Miegale alɔ̃dɔdɔ dzi le ɖiɖim ɖe emea? Esɔ gbɔ azɔ! Gaƒoƒo la de. Kpɔ ɖa, wode Amegbetɔ Vi la asi na nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo.When Jesus returned the third time, He said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? That is enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42Mitso mídzo! Mikpɔ ɖa, ame si le denye ge asi lae nye ema gbɔna!”Rise, let us go. See, My betrayer is approaching!”

43Esi Yesu ganɔ nu ƒom la, eƒe nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo dometɔ ɖeka si woyɔna be, Yuda Iskariɔt kple ameha gã aɖe, siwo lé yiwo kple kpowo ɖe asi henɔ nyanyram ŋutɔ la va do. Ame siawoe nunɔlagãwo kple agbalẽfialawo kple Yudatɔwo ƒe amegã bubuwo dɔ be woalé Yesu vɛ.While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, scribes, and elders.

44Hafi woava ɖo teƒea la, Yuda Iskariɔt gblɔ na wo do ŋgɔ be, “Ame si ŋu mate ɖo agbugbɔ nu na la, eyae, milée, ne miakplɔe ayii.”Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him and lead Him away securely.”

45Esi ameha la va ɖo teƒea teti ko la, Yuda Iskariɔt zɔ ɖe Yesu dzi hedo ɣli yɔe be, “Nufiala” eye wògbugbɔ nu nɛ.Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

46Ameha la dze Yesu dzi helée sesĩe.Then the men seized Jesus and arrested Him.

47Gake ame aɖe he eƒe yi ɖe go eye wòkpa nunɔlagã la ƒe dɔla ƒe to ɖeka wòge va dze anyigba.And one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

48Yesu bia elélawo be, “Adzodala vɔ̃ɖi aɖee menye hafi mietsɔ yiwo kple kpowo ɖe asi va be yewoaléma?Jesus asked the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw?

49Menɔ gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔxɔnu gbe sia gbe nɔ nu fiam. Ke esia va eme be woawu Ŋɔŋlɔ Kɔkɔe la nu.”Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me. But this has happened that the Scriptures would be fulfilled.”

50Le esime nya siawo katã nɔ dzɔdzɔm la, eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo katã si dzo.Then everyone deserted Him and fled.

51Ɖekakpui aɖe si ta aklala biɖibiɖi ko la nɔ Yesu yome. Esi amelélawo te kpɔ be yewoalée la,One young man who had been following Jesus was wearing a linen cloth around his body. They caught hold of him,

52esi amama hegblẽ eƒe avɔ la ɖi.but he pulled free of the linen cloth and ran away naked.

53Wokplɔ Yesu yi nunɔlagã ƒe aƒe me, afi si nunɔlagãwo kple Yudatɔwo ƒe amegã bubuwo kple agbalẽfialawo va ɖi anyi ɖo le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko me.They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders, and scribes assembled.

54Petro nɔ adzɔge ʋĩi le Yesu yome. Esi wòva ɖo nunɔlagã la ƒe aƒe me la, eto nu xa dzaa ge ɖe aƒea me eye wòyi ɖanɔ anyi ɖe subɔla gbɔ nɔ dzo ƒum.Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the officers and warmed himself by the fire.

55Nunɔlagãwo kple Yudatɔwo ƒe ʋɔnudrɔ̃la gãwo nɔ nutsotso aɖewo dim le Yesu ŋu be yewoatsɔ abu fɔe, eye yewoatso kufia nɛ, gake womete ŋu kpɔ nutsotso aɖeke o.Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they did not find any.

56Ame geɖewo va ɖi alakpaɖasewo, gake nya siwo katã wogblɔ la mesɔ o. Ame sia ame ƒe ɖaseɖiɖi to vovo tso nɔvia tɔ gbɔ.For many bore false witness against Jesus, but their testimony was inconsistent.

57Mlɔeba la, ame aɖewo da alakpa ɖe esi be,Then some men stood up and testified falsely against Him:

58“Míese wògblɔ be, ‘Magbã gbedoxɔ sia, si amegbetɔwo tu la eye matu bubu si manye amegbetɔwo ƒe asinudɔwɔwɔ o la le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe.’ ”“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this man-made temple, and in three days I will build another that is made without hands.’”

59Togbɔ be wogblɔ alea hã la, amewo ƒe nutsotsowo gato vovo.But even their testimony was inconsistent.

60Mlɔeba la, nunɔlagã la tso, bia Yesu le ʋɔnua ŋkume be, “Ɖe nèle gbegbem be yemaɖo nutsotso gbogbo siwo wotsɔ ɖe ŋuwò la ƒe ɖeke ŋu oa? Nya aɖeke mele asiwò nàtsɔ aʋli ɖokuiwò tae oa?”So the high priest stood up before them and questioned Jesus, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

61Yesu meke nu o, ke boŋ ezi kpi kpoo. Nunɔlagã la gabiae be, “Wòe nye Kristo, si nye Yayratɔ la ƒe Via?”But Jesus remained silent and made no reply. Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

62Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Nyee, tso azɔ dzi miakpɔ Amegbetɔ Vi la wòanɔ anyi ɖe Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ƒe nuɖusime, eye wòanɔ lilikpowo dzi atso dziƒo ava.”“I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

63Ŋuɖoɖo sia do dziku na nunɔlagã la ale gbegbe be wòdze eƒe awu si wòdo la hegblɔ be, “Ɖe wòhiã be míagadi ɖasefowo ɖe eŋua?At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “Why do we need any more witnesses?

64Gbeɖe, míekpɔ afiatsotso xoxo elabena miawo ŋutɔ miese busunya si wògblɔ.” Azɔ nu kae nye miaƒe afiatsotso? Wo katã wobu fɔe be, “Edze na ku.”You have heard the blasphemy. What is your verdict?” And they all condemned Him as deserving of death.

65Azɔ ame aɖewo tu ta ɖe mo nɛ ƒia, ɖewo tsɔ nu bla mo nɛ, eye ɖewo hã tu kɔe sesĩe hegblɔ be, “Gblɔe na mí. Ame kae ƒo wò?” Eŋudzɔlawo hã ƒoe.Then some of them began to spit on Him. They blindfolded Him, struck Him with their fists, and said to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in His face.

66Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Petro nɔ aƒea ƒe gbadzaƒe. Ɖetugbivi aɖe si nye nunɔlagã la ƒe subɔla ɖeka la kpɔ Petro dze sii esime wònɔ dzo ƒum.While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came down

67Ɖetugbivi la te ɖe Petro ŋu, eye wòlé ŋku ɖe eŋu nyuie. Ke edo ɣli be, “Wò hã Yesu si tso Nazaret la yomedzelawo dometɔ ɖeka nènye.”and saw him warming himself there. She looked at Peter and said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”

68Ke Petro sẽ nu gblɔ be, “Nyemenya alo se nu si gblɔm nèle la gɔme o.” Ale wòtso ɖanɔ agbo la ƒe mɔnu.But he denied it. “I do not know or even understand what you are talking about,” he said. Then he went out to the gateway, and the rooster crowed.

69Subɔla la ƒe ŋku ganɔ Petro ŋu kokoko. Ekpɔ afi si wòɖanɔ eye wòyɔ ame bubuwo hegblɔ na wo be, “Mebe ame sia la, Yesu yomenɔlawo dometɔ ɖeka wònye.”There the servant girl saw him and again said to those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.”

70Petro gasẽ nu be yemenya Yesu o! Ke ame siwo tsi tsitre ɖe dzoa gbɔ la hã de asi gbɔgblɔ me na Petro be, “Vavã, wò hã wo dometɔ ɖekae nènye elabena Galilea nètso!”But he denied it again. After a little while, those standing nearby said once more to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you too are a Galilean.”

71Petro ta nu gblɔ be, “Le nyateƒe me la, nyemenya ame si ŋuti miele nu ƒom le la gɔ̃ hã o.”But he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak!”

72Kasia koklo ku atɔ zi evelia. Enumake Petro ɖo ŋku Yesu ƒe nya siawo dzi be, “Hafi koklo naku atɔ zi eve la, àgbe nu le gbɔnye zi etɔ̃.” Esia na be eƒe dzi gbã eye wòfa avi hehehe.And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And he broke down and wept.
