1. 1EWEEsi Yesu wu eƒe nuƒo sia nu la, edzo le Galilea, eye wòtso Yɔdan tɔsisi la va Yudea nutowo me.BSBBSB: When Jesus had finished saying these things, He left Galilee and went into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2. 2EWEAmeha gã aɖe kplɔe ɖo, eye wòda gbe le dɔnɔ geɖewo ŋu.BSBBSB: Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.
3. 3EWEFarisitɔ aɖewo va egbɔ be yewoadoe kpɔ. Wobiae be, “Ele se nu be ŋutsu nagbe srɔ̃a le susu ɖe sia ɖe ta?”BSBBSB: Then some Pharisees came and tested Him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4. 4EWEEɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ɖe miexlẽe kpɔ be le gɔmedzedzea me la, Wɔla la wɔ wo ŋutsu kple nyɔnu o mahã?BSBBSB: Jesus answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’
5. 5EWEEya ta ŋutsu agblẽ fofoa kple dadaa ɖi alé ɖe srɔ̃a ŋu ɖikaa, eye wo kple eve la woazu ŋutilã ɖeka.BSBBSB: and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?
6. 6EWEEsia ta womeganye ame eve o, ke boŋ ame ɖeka, eya ta nu si ke Mawu bla la, amegbetɔ aɖeke megama eme o.”BSBBSB: So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
7. 7EWETete wobia Yesu be, “Ekema nu ka ŋuti Mose de se be ŋutsu nana srɔ̃gbegbalẽ srɔ̃a, eye wòagbee mahã?”BSBBSB: “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses order a man to give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”
8. 8EWEYesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Mose ɖe mɔ na mi be miagbe mia srɔ̃wo, elabena miaƒe dzi me sẽ, gake menɔ alea le gɔmedzedzea me o,BSBBSB: Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hardness of heart. But it was not this way from the beginning.
9. 9EWEeye mele egblɔm na mi kple kakaɖedzi be, ame si gbe srɔ̃a, eye menye ɖe ahasiwɔwɔ ta o, ke boŋ le susu bubu aɖe ta, eye wòyi ɖaɖe nyɔnu bubu la, ewɔ ahasi.”BSBBSB: Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
10. 10EWEYesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo gblɔ nɛ be, “Nenye be wòle alea la, anyo wu be ŋutsu maɖe srɔ̃ o.”BSBBSB: His disciples said to Him, “If this is the case between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.”
11. 11EWEYesu gblɔ na wo be, “Menye ame sia amee ase nya sia gɔme o, negbe ame siwo ŋu Mawu kpe ɖo la ko,BSBBSB: “Not everyone can accept this word,” He replied, “but only those to whom it has been given.
12. 12EWEelabena wodzi ame aɖewo wonye ame tatawo tso dzɔdzɔme; ame bubuwo la, ame aɖewoe wɔ wo wozu nenema be womaɖe srɔ̃ o. Ke ame aɖewo gbea srɔ̃ɖeɖe le dziƒofiaɖuƒe la ta. Ame si lɔ̃ la, nexɔ nye nyawo.”BSBBSB: For there are eunuchs who were born that way; others were made that way by men; and still others live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
13. 13EWEDzila aɖewo kplɔ wo vi suewo va Yesu gbɔ be wòada asi ɖe wo dzi, eye wòado gbe ɖa ɖe wo ta. Ke nusrɔ̃lawo nya wo be womegaɖe fu na Aƒetɔ la o.BSBBSB: Then little children were brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them. And the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14. 14EWEGake Yesu gblɔ be, “Mina ɖevi suewo nava gbɔnye, eye migaxe mɔ na wo o, elabena woawo tɔe nye dziƒofiaɖuƒe la.”BSBBSB: But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
15. 15EWEAle wòtsɔ eƒe asiwo da ɖe wo dzi, eye wòyra wo hafi dzo.BSBBSB: And after He had placed His hands on them, He went on from there.
16. 16EWEAme aɖe hã va Yesu gbɔ kple biabia sia be, “Nufiala, nu nyui ka mawɔ be manyi agbe mavɔ ƒe dome mahã?”BSBBSB: Just then a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?”
17. 17EWEYesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Ne èyɔm be Aƒetɔ nyui la, ekema Mawue nye ema yɔm nèle, elabena ame ɖeka koe li woayɔ be ame nyui, eye ame siae nye Mawu. Le wò biabia la ŋuti la, mele egblɔm na wò be àte ŋu ayi dziƒo nenye be èwɔ ɖe Mawu ƒe seawo dzi.”BSBBSB: “Why do you ask Me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”
18. 18EWEŊutsu la gabiae be, “Se kawoe?” Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Woawoe nye, mègawu ame o; mègawɔ ahasi o; megafi fi o; mègada alakpa o;BSBBSB: “Which ones?” the man asked. Jesus answered, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,
19. 19EWEbu fofowò kple dawò; lɔ̃ hawòvi abe wò ŋutɔ ɖokuiwò ene!”BSBBSB: honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.’”
20. 20EWEƉekakpui la gblɔ nɛ be, “Mewɔa se siawo dzi tso nye ɖevime ke, ke nu kae gasusɔ mawɔ?”BSBBSB: “All these I have kept,” said the young man. “What do I still lack?”
21. 21EWEYesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Ne èdi be yeazu ame dzɔdzɔe blibo la, yi nàdzra nu sia nu si le asiwò la, eye nàtsɔ ga la na ame dahewo, ekema kesinɔnuwo anɔ dziƒo na wò. Ne èwɔ esia vɔ la, va nàdze yonyeme.”BSBBSB: Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
22. 22EWEKe esi ɖekakpui la se nya sia la, edzo kple nuxaxa, elabena enye kesinɔtɔ gã aɖe.BSBBSB: When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.
23. 23EWEYesu trɔ ɖe eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo ŋu gblɔ na wo be, “Nyateƒe, asesẽ na kesinɔtɔwo ŋutɔ be woage ɖe dziƒofiaɖuƒe la me.BSBBSB: Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24. 24EWEMegale egblɔm na mi be, anɔ bɔbɔe na kposɔ be wòato abui ƒe vo me tsɔ wu be kesinɔtɔ nage ɖe mawufiaɖuƒe la me.”BSBBSB: Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
25. 25EWEKe esi nusrɔ̃lawo se nya sia la, woƒe nu ku, eye wobia be, “Ke ame ka gɔ̃ ate ŋu akpɔ ɖeɖe le xexe sia me?”BSBBSB: When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26. 26EWEYesu kpɔ wo dũu, eye wògblɔ be, “Esia mele bɔbɔe le amegbetɔwo gome o, ke naneke mesesẽna na Mawu ya o.”BSBBSB: Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27. 27EWEPetro gblɔ nɛ be, “Míawo la, míegblẽ nu sia nu ɖi hedze yowòme. Fetu ka míakpɔ?”BSBBSB: “Look,” Peter replied, “we have left everything to follow You. What then will there be for us?”
28. 28EWEYesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Vavã mele egblɔm be, nenye be Nye, Amegbetɔ Vi la, menɔ anyi ɖe nye fiazikpui dzi le nye fiaɖuƒe me le ŋutikɔkɔe gã me la, ekema miawo hã mianɔ fiazikpui wuieve dzi, adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu Israel ƒe to wuieveawo,BSBBSB: Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, in the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29. 29EWEeye ame sia ame si gblẽ eƒe aƒe, nɔviŋutsuwo, nɔvia nyɔnuwo, fofoa, dadaa, srɔ̃a, viawo alo eƒe nunɔamesiwo ɖi hedze yonyeme la, akpɔ wo ɖe edzi teƒe alafa ɖeka (100), eye wòanyi agbe mavɔ ƒe dome.BSBBSB: And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for the sake of My name will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.
30. 30EWEKe ame geɖe siwo nye gbãtɔwo fifia la, azu mamlɛtɔwo, eye ame siwo nye mamlɛtɔwo la, azu gbãtɔwo.”BSBBSB: But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
