Luke 8 (KHJ) · Opened

1Ni ʊkywɛrɛ kǝn, Iyesu ka shinɛ kya asu kǝri apyapya kǝni apyang asu tanamɔ iring ididima gaa ni igumo Ʊnʊng. Ɔnɔ ʊmɛr ngɛ atarhi ni apari ni kǝni ɛngɛɛ ngɛ,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,

2adarha opyo erere sini amimo ikrʊ kǝni arʊ sini oworimo ering ʊshari bidɔɔ inamamo; bidɔɔmo Imeri bai Imadala arʊ sini owori ʊshari uten sara bi idɔɔ inama ngɛ.as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3Ijowana ere Ikuza arʊ sini ɛngɛɛ ani arite ɔnɔ ʊtina ʊna Ihiridus adarha Isuzana kǝni erere napany arʊ sini akʊ she Iyesu ngee kǝni ɔnɔ ʊmɛr ngɛ ni imisini aniyoo.Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4Ni sini ushi orokru bi owro Iyesu bai apya pya obotuno napany aka tanamo ushosho wen:While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5“Opyo arʊ wro kii ʊpʊra irhɔw. Sini akʊ zara ipyoo kakpaa baya atira, ekǝ titɛɛ ɔnɔnʊng ayaya ka tanayo ngɛ.“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.

6Ipyoo ka kpa baya ibʊng atari. Akywa sini emeri ekǝ ne penyo omung nɛgbɛn ikɔ rɔɔyo akurayo.Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7Ipyoo irhɔw ka kpa idɔɔ Akara kǝ mɛrɛ kǝni ɔyo ngɛ ɛkǝri akara ko turoyo a karhayo ʊfɔnɔ.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8Ipyoo irhɔw kakpaa bi ibʊng ididima. Ikǝmere kɔ fɔnɔ asa akywi ʊsʊsɔng epri imisini apʊri.” Sini ekyweri ʊtanamɔ, aka sani,“Arʊ sini ani atung akʊng ngɛ, akʊng.”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.”

9Ɔnɔ ʊmɛr Iyesu ko gyurho ngɛ ikimoyo ɛkǝri ushosho wen ku pɛrɛ.Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10Aka sani, “Eyenyi ʊʊma sini ɔsusi bakywa bidɔɔ igumo Ʊnʊng sini inyi nʊ kperhi ngɛ, ʊparha ɛshɛ ini pɛrɛ ni ɔmɔ ni oshoshoyo, “ ‘aki, anu ku ikra, anasu romo; anu kungwo, anasu kperhimo.’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“Imisini ushosho wen peri ye: ɛkǝri irhɔw yo ini Iring Ʊnʊng.Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12Imi sini kpii baya ʊtira, ɔmɔmɔ ani arʊ sini akʊng ɛkǝri irhing, ishari ka karhayo ngɛ bi idɔɔ ikywimo, sini anau yoromo epen ʊgya.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.

13Imisini ikpii baya ibʊng atari iyoyo ini arʊ sini akʊng ɛkǝri iring aka yirhayɔ ni ofofuru, uwe ese mɛrɛmo ikang, oyoro ba anakywa ʊmarha ka ba aka kpa.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.

14Irhɔw sini ikpii bi idɔɔ akara iyoyo ini arʊ sini akʊng ka yirha nisini akpin okyoro uwure ʊkiki eyesing, ʊkaa adʊma kǝni ʊkʊng ididima ka karhamo ngɛ ɔkɔrɔ.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.

15Irhɔw sini ikpii bi ibʊng ididima iyoyo ini arʊ sini akʊng ɛkǝri iring aka yirha okong nagigi bi idɔɔ ikywi ididima nɛmɛr asu wura ikywi ama ɔnɔ.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“Ararʊ nasu ta uyen aka frawo ni isong ba. Kǝnawo araru nasu ta uyen ɔsɔmɔ ba atata Ipro. Aba ta uyen anu sawɔ bi owro ukyo uyen aki arʊraa ɛkǝri ʊna nuruyeng.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.

17Kii kukum ima sini ini ʊsʊsɔ, anu kuno niyo besing, kǝnawo imisini afriyo, anu fʊrɔyo okoba bi uyen.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18Inyi sa noshong ni imisini inyi kukung. Arʊ sini ani ima ngɛ anujo ma; arʊ sini asa niyo; ko ani ima sini akʊ wɔrɔfo ni ingɛɛ niyo anu karha.”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.”

19Ikpara dang akwa ubyere kǝni arʊpya Iyesu kaba owroo, ʊrɛ orokru kasa ana bramo ʊfwa ngɛ.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20Opyo arʊ ka tana ngɛ a sani, “Akwa ubyerenw kǝni arupyanw titing besing akuwaw urong.”He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21Oko yoromo a sani, “Akwa ubyerem kǝni arupyam ɔmɔmɔ ani arʊ sini akʊng iring Ʊnʊng akasʊ ʊtina niyo.”But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22Upyu Ʊnʊng Iyesu ka sani ɔnɔ ʊmɛr ngɛ ni, “Arʊ bro kyu ʊwan ʊbya ugro ʊrɛ.” Ikpara dang aka raa ɛkǝri ʊgɔrʊ omung aka kpin ʊtira.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.

23Ni sini akubro ʊmɔrɔ ka kpara Iyesu ngɛ. Uwroo avra ʊmi ikrʊ kǝ shinɛ baya omung sini ʊgɔrʊ ubro omung ugro ʊrɛ ʊtʊ tirɛ ni omung aka kpaa eyi ngɛ atu rong asani imɔ kywɛrɛyo.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.

24Ɔnɔ ʊmɛr ngɛ kǝyɛ shinɛ ngɛ asu takpa asani, “Arite, Arite, arʊ tekya ʊmirimɔ!” Iyesu kǝshine aka tana ɛkǝri uwroo avra ʊmi ikrʊ kǝni omung, akayari owro kasa na kprukpring.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.

25Iyesu ko gyurho ɔnɔ ɛmɛr ngɛ, “Eki ʊma ʊbrʊbrʊnyi?” Akyu tirɛ ni irung asuya owro, akasʊ gyurho opyomo ani, “Iyaa we sini apyii onuo ni uwroo avra ʊmi ikrʊ kǝni omung aka kwɔɔ.”“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!”

26Iyesu kǝni ɔnɔ ʊmɛr ngɛ kobro kyamo kii ibʊng Igarasi sini ini uteri isha irɔng Igalili.Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27Iyesu ku shuro wurha bi ibʊng, aka darha opyo orokru bai idɔɔ apya arʊ sini ʊshari ni bidɔɔ ngɛ. Orokru wen dɛrhɛ ngɛ ono sono ngɛ ʊʊma ʊsɔmɔ ana kiki ngɛ bi idɔɔ ʊduna akʊ kiki bi idɔɔ ɔgrɔnmɔ.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.

28Ni sini eri Iyesu ngɛ ekǝ fen akpa ayaya ka karhakpaa bi ite, kasu takpa ayaya asu sani, “Iyesu Ɔnɔ Ʊnʊng arayaya, ikimo ʊwɛi ni emye, iku sɔrhɔnw bekya ogyurhom!”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!”

29Ɛpɛri kǝnawo, kii Iyesu karha kyu tana ering ebebi usho bidɔɔ inama ngɛ ni ukuno. Bekai sini ɛrɛn ʊraa ngɛ eshuwe ngɛ ɛfɛn. Kǝni sini ese lorho ngɛ ivʊ kǝni ifraa ni, okyo asha, akan karha ɛkǝri itomo ngɛ, ʊshari kon wɔɔ kyamo idɔɔ orumo ngɛ.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.

30Iyesu ko gyurho ngɛ asani,“Ʊtʊwanw ni iyang?” Oko yoro asani, “Inapany,” eperi kǝnawo bekai sini ʊshari sini ʊrii inamange ʊnʊgrɔɔ.“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31Ɛkǝri ʊshari kasu sɔrhɔ Iyesu ngɛ ani ebekya yerimɔ kidɔɔ ukwoo sini ʊsawɔ ni akurha ngɛ.And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32Ugrii ku piri Iyoyow burha bi obru ukro. Ɛkǝri ʊshari ko sɔrhɔ Iyesu ngɛ ani esheremo imo raa bi idɔɔ ɛkǝri Ugrii. Iyesu ko Yoromo.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.

33Bakwya dang ɛkǝri ʊshari ko kuromo bi idɔɔ ɛkǝri orokru ka raamo idɔɔ ɛkǝri Ugrii. Kukum ɛkǝri Ugrii ko shuro ni atara aramo bi idɔɔ ɛkǝri irɔng asa omung okyurhomo ekeremo kukum mo.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.

34Ni sini arʊ piri ɛkǝri Uugrii rii kǝna oko gyoo atara aya tana imi sini isi kidɔɔ apya kǝni apya ʊkʊkǝri mo.When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35Orokru kaba okuno oborong imi sini isi. Ni sini abii eberi Iyesu, aka darha ɛkǝri orokru sini ʊshari kuni bi idɔɔ ngɛ akiki bi ite Iyesu ɔsʊsɔmi igbɛ ngɛ, asa akrʊ. Irung ka kpinmo ngɛ.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.

36Arʊ sini ani burha ori imisini isi ngɛ akasʊ tana arʊ sini abi bi ututumo, sini owori ɛkǝri orokru ʊshari bi inama.Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37Ikpara dang kukum arʊ ʊkʊkǝri ibʊng Igarasi kɔ sɔrhɔ Iyesu ngɛ ani esheremo apya ngɛ, kii akʊng irung ngɛ nagang. Iyesu karaa ʊgɔrʊ omung sɔɔ ngɛ.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.

38Ɛkǝri orokru sini ʊshari kuni bi idɔɔ inama kɔ sorho Iyesu ngɛ a sani ingɛɛ nʊ kroo ngɛ Iyesu ka shirha ngɛ a sani,The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39“Juro kyanw owro arunw aya tanamo imi sini Ʊnʊng sinw.” Ekǝri orokru kakyaa kidɔɔ apya kukum asu tana imi sini Iyesu sie.“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.

40Ni sini Iyesu juri ba ʊwan ʊbya orokru ka yirha ngɛ ni ofofuru kii akaru shaa.When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41Ani aya ʊsirha kǝna opyo orokru sini ayirhi ʊtʊwa ngɛ ni Ijerus, arite owro utuno Ayaudiya kaba okpukporo bi ite Iyesu, asu sɔrhɔ ngɛ akya ʊdʊnaa,Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42kii ɔnɔ eying enere arʊ sini etekya ʊsa ɛnyɛɛ atarhi na apari etekya ukpo. Ni sini Iyesu nibi ʊtira ushi orokru ko mumun ngɛ.because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43Opyo erere sini akʊ kung igara ni udumo ʊnira eyi ɛnyɛɛ atarhi na apari, ɔnuo burha. Eperi imi sini aniyoo ngɛ bi ʊkikie eberi avuwa ikang, ekɛne pen ngɛ ikrʊ.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.

44Aka sara bidɔɔ orokru bau utumo Iyesu ka pya afri igbɛ ngɛ, ba kywakywa dang ʊnira eyi nge kating.She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45Iyesu ko gyurho a sani, “Iyaa apim?” Orokru kara amaa ngɛ, ikpara dang Ibitrus ka sani, “Avuwa akai orokru men ekǝkǝrinw a su tanw ivʊ bai ikwu ikinisha keba ni ɔnwɔ.”“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46Iyesu ka sani ni, “Ararʊ pyam; ikung sini ikrʊ kuni yo ngɛ bidɔɔmi.”But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47Ni sini ɛkǝri erere rii anasu braa ʊsɔ ngɛ, oko kuno ni ʊyawro aba okpukporo ni orung bi ite Iyesu. Aka tana nashisha imi sini isi ingɛɛ pie kǝni sini eyi ting na kyarh bakywakywa dang.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.

48Iyesu ka sani ɛngɛɛ ni, “Ɔnɔm, ʊma ʊbrʊbrʊnw manw ikrʊ. Kyanw ni ofofuru.”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49Ni sini Iyesu ni aya ʊpya onuo, opyo orokru kaba ni itina bau ʊni Ijerus, arite ʊna utuno Ayahudiya. Kaba sani Ijerus ngɛ ni, “Ɔnɔnw kywɛrɛ ukpoo, bekya ojo ma avuwa ngɛ igara.”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.”

50Ni sini Iyesu kʊng kǝna aka sani Ijerus ngɛ ni, “Bekya kung irung; yoro! Anu gya.”But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51Sini afwi ʊna Ijerus, akya noyoro ngɛ ni araru raa kǝni ɛngɛɛ ngɛ. Ibitrus, kǝni Iyohana kǝni Iyakubu adarhi Akwa ɔnɔ kǝni ekperi ngɛ mo oyori ni araa kǝni ɛngɛɛ.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.

52Orokru titiri ɛkǝri ʊna asu tei kǝni ʊwʊra ikywi ngɛ bekai ɛkǝri ɔnɔ. Iyesu kasani ɔmɔni, “Shere utei ngɛ ɛkǝri ɔnɔ se kpo ba, akʊ morowo.”Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53Orokru ka sina ngɛ, sini ekperhi ngɛ asani ekywere ukpoo.And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54Iyesu ka kpin ngɛ bavu kasani,“Ɔnɔm, shinɛ!”But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Ʊring ngɛ ko juro bawo idɔɔ ngɛ ekǝ shinɛ akiki bakywakywa dang. Iyesu ka sani ɔmɔni amaa ʊmʊra ara.Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56Arʊ byere ngɛ kǝjijire, Iyesu ka sani ɔmɔni ebekya tana araru imi sini isi.Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
