Luke 8 (TBX) · Opened

1Ka tine lak veil Yesu la ghavineeng eivek beyeeng nge me la nge me la valu is me neil Xoulek Nimza wei Anutu xe tete lalei eno teyei. Xel xoumeeng yuw la is e.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,

2Me vex valu wei Yesu tiy laweeng nol veil xel me wong xel xe vanei wo nimzalek o: Maria (xel mi taxe e bei Makdala) wei memo lim yuw lam myayaing veil e yo,as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3Joana ne Kuza venei, inyon tambiy wei wo lei ngandoung en Herot beeng o, Susana, me vex ngenong is. Vex ti beimambei yon mi wong xel venaxow xe lulul bei na mi devind Yesu lis e xe betiyeing.Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4Dekalekom xomaxoneing wei beyeeng sapa eno lam wou Yesu me xel qendu ngandoung qekuma me lam dei. De moxo neil qayeeng pakeing tine:While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5“Tambiy tiwei mema xuk eno di vuw wit vei eivek xuk. Ka di vuw vei eivek xuk, eno valu teila lek sakwaing, me xel qeilek de menek lam ya.“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.

6Valu teila lek qakous, om gyeik ingwei xel tyip eno xel mey en tembuing nilouk ma.Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7De vei valu teila eivek yis senghoing wei yingying o, me xel dalus tyip me ding dekakom yis sevunexe wit.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8De vei valu teila eivek tembuing wei nimza yo, om tyip me vuk neing ngenong teyei lek vaxak ngenong ghanaw ingwei vuw o.” Gyeik ingwei moxo neil qayeeng pakeing tiyon ma, eno taxe bei, “Eti yeiw nenya nale lek e en ngoeing qayeeng, ond wong e ngo.”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.”

9Moxo xe xel betiyeing teling e, “Qayeeng pakeing tine qes ambei nya?”Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10De Yesu neil wou xel, “Lupeyei ngandoung wei qayeeng xupekeing qes wei Anutu xe tete lalei yo, Anutu wong wou xam. Ekom wou xel valu eno a mi luk eivek qayeeng pakeing en kandek, “ ‘xel gyei lumama, ekom xel se gyeiwou, de xel a ngo, ekom xel se boulek e qes.’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“Tine inye qayeeng pakeing qes: Vei yon Anutu xe xoulek.Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12Vei wei teila lek sakwaing eno nambei xel wei ngo Anutu xe xoulek dekakom tambiy mapetok lam zeim veil xel laleind, en kandek xel se bongis me e devind xel.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.

13De vei wei tei lek qakous eno nambei xel wei qou xoulek is xeindlala gyeik ingwei xel ngo yo, ekom xel xe luselis se evla eivek tembuing. Xel wongis nayaka, deka bouk wei axeing lam eno xel tei veil.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.

14De vei wei teila eivek yis wei yingying o senghoing eno xel teyei lek xel wei ngo Anutu xe qayeeng me betiwou, ekom gyeik xel la eno xel wou naleind en lulul wei deing mapieing wei xel o, me malew ngenongakes me xeilala wei tembuing ne wou xel zeyi om xel xe neing se doung.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.

15Ekom vei wei teila lek tembuing nimza yo, eno teyei lek moux alis vex wei ngo xoulek me zeimaxoun o. Xel laleind nimza me bombek, me xel mi nale nikanzek me vuk neing lek.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“Xelti se mi byex eivek lam me vun eivek deng o mi toung eivek lelek yeipeing lek o xeinghembi. Qe moxo mi toung lek lam vaxa, en kandek xel wei eivek la lalei eno na mi gyei xeiyaing.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.

17En lul dalus wei xupek eno tyek xel boulek, me lul dalus wei xel beliv eno tyek nam mendei yanyateiv.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18“Nambei nyon xam ghe bou naleimim bo nimza en vati wei xam ambei ngo yo. Xelti xe lupeyei toundei on tyek Anutu bong valu is, ek xelti lupeyei e ma yon vati wei wounalei bei di qou eno tyek Anutu na zeim veil e.”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.”

19Yesu ta is liyeiw embei nam gyei e, ekom xel se teyeimbei na paviy e, en nambei moux alis vex ngenong qekuma me toundei.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20Xelti neil wou e, “Tam alis limyeiw lam toukale myayaing, me axe en xel embei gyei wang.”He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21Moxo neil elox bei, “Moux alis vex wei mi ngo Anutu xe xoulek me betiwou eno inye a tang me a lingyeiw.”But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22Bouk ti eno Yesu neil wou e xe xel betiyeing bei, “Xey ambei na lounyeing loxalu nei.” Om xel la eivek bot ti me la.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.

23Ka bot di la eno Yesu yeip. Laweeng ngandoung ti lam lek lounyeing me vei memiing la eivek bot om xel la eivek nimaying ngandoung.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.

24Xel betiyeing la piyexe Yesu, me neil embei, “Teiv, teiv, xey ambei zepna ne!” Moxo qandi lek me neil laweeng me memiing wei di vuklek o, me laweeng valeivek ma de memiing yeip kanzek.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.

25Yesu teling e xe xel betiyeing bei, “Xam amim wongeingis inya?” Xel yaleeng me etek om xel di teling wouma bei, “Tambiy tine e eti? Om luk nikanzek wou laweeng me memiing me xel ngo me betiwou?”“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!”

26Xel la loxalu nanghei danghei tiwei Gerasa nei, beyeeng wei toundei lounyeing loxalu wei Galili yo.Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27Gyeik Yesu teila me la yasewis eno moux wei memo nale eivek o ti nanghei beyeeng nayak on lam wou e. Takwei yeileing nei eno tambiy tine se mi byex teimb o se mindei eivek xomek ti, qe mindei eivek leiveeng meyeing.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.

28Gyeik tambiy on yei Yesu, eno nyayek me teila yeip wou Yesu vaxa, de taxe xoulekeing bei, “Yesu, Anutu gheyapu Neu Moux, wa being bong vati wou ay? A tay wou wang bei wa seng bo nol wou ay!”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!”

29En Yesu luk niseikeing wou laweeng nilaxes bei enam myayaing veil moux on. Lumama eno laweeng nilaxes mi zeimaxoun e, de xomaxoneing mi qo e mema vaxa nangya sen me xel mi yei e teyei, ekom moxo mi tax sen veil xow de memo mi qou e me la ingwei xel ma veil o.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.

30Yesu teling e, “Wa leim vati?” Moxo neil elox bei, “Qendu ngandoung.” En nambei memo ngenong la eivek e.“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31Me xel tay wou Yesu lumama bei e se tiy xel na eivek leiveeng tiwei qes maeing o.And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32Bok qendu ti di ya me nale wou qetyei nenyawes nanghei inyon. Xel memo tay wou Yesu bei e bong xel na eivek xel bok on, om lenghek lek xel.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.

33Gyeik ingwei xel memo lam myayaing veil moux on, xel la eivek xel bok on, me bok qendu dalus on veimyend me la oing bembembek me heivek lounyeing me mey.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.

34Gyeik ingwei xel wei mi yeiteyei xel bok on yei vati wei qandi, eno xel veimyend me la neil lulti yon teyei wou xel wei beyeeng nayak, me beyeeng beimambei nei is,When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35me xomaxoneing la yei vati wei qandi yo. Gyeik ingwei xel lam wou Yesu eno xel yei moux tiwei xel memo la veil e yo. De moxo byex teimb me lupeyei wo nimza, me toundei wou Yesu vaxa. De xel yaleeng.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.

36Xel wei yei lul on qandi, eno xel tul pavulek en wou xomaxoneing en ingwei memo la veil e nambei nya yo me e wo nimzalek o.Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37Woyom xomaxoneing dalus wei danghei ti Gerasa yon dalus teling Yesu bei e na veil xel, en nambei xel yaleeng ngandoung. Om lox eivek bot me la.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.

38Moux tiwei memo la veil on tay wou bei na is e, ekom Yesu wong e la de neil wou bei,The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39“Wang nox bam me ghe nox a neil vati wei Anutu wong wou wang o teyei.” Om tambiy on la me neil vati wei Yesu wong wou e yo dalus teyei wou moux alis vex wei beyeeng nayak on.“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.

40Gyeik ingwei Yesu lox me la lounyeing loxalu eno moux alis vex qou e is xeindlala, en xel di axe e.When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41Woyom moux ti lei Yairus, inyon gyovaxa wei xomek qekueing ama yo, eno lam me ev vaxa qatu eivek wou Yesu vaxa, me wo nikanzek wou e bei Yesu na e beeng,Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42en nambei e neu vex tixemou yon e xe vakovek qes nambei xoumeeng yuw eno e bim a mey. Ka Yesu di la eno moux alis vex nale vingama zeyi e.because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43Me vex ti toukale inyon eno gyand mi lam eivek e teyei lek vakovek qes xoumeeng yuw, me vex tiyon mi saing e xe malew la wou dokta ekom xelti se wong e wo nimzalek.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.

44Vexo la nale wou Yesu demi me axlek e xe teimb ding myasepu, lutika eno gyand touk veil e.She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45Yesu teling bei, “Eti axlek ay?” Gyeik xomaxoneing axvun, eno Petele neil, “Teiv, xomaxoneing ngenong nale vingama zeyi wang o.”“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46Ekom Yesu neil embei, “Xelti axlek ay. A woulek ingwei nikanzek lam myayaing veil ay yo.”But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47Woyom vexo yei bei tyek se ghupek, om la is nietekeing me ev vaxa qatu eivek wou Yesu vaxa eivek xomaxoneing dalus mend, vexo neil ingwei nambei nya axlek Yesu me nambei nya wo nimzalek luti.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.

48Woyom Yesu neil wou vexo, “Neung vex, wa xe wongeingis wong wang wo nimzalek. La is laleim vevopeing.”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49Ka Yesu nanghei di luk, eno xelti lam anghei Yairus beeng nei, inyon gyovaxa wei xomek qekueing ama yo. Moxo neil embei, “Neum vex mey om wa seng bo pok wou putoung no.”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.”

50Gyeik Yesu ngo tine eno neil wou Yairus bei, “Wa seng gwaleeng, qe wang bongis, en vexo tyek bo nimzalek.”But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51Gyeik ingwei Yesu la tyip Yairus beeng, eno se wong xel valu la lalei is e qe Petele, Yoan me Jems, me vex yak on ma luw ta.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.

52Dekalekom xomaxoneing dalus di eng me wo talot en e. Yesu neil, “Xam tip engeing. En vexo se mey qe di yeip.”Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53Xel napexe e, en xel woulek bei vexo mey.And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54Ekom moxo zeim vexo mema me neil embei, “A neung yak, qandi lek!”But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Vexo nu loumelam eivek, me lutika eno vexo qandi lek. Woyom Yesu neil wou xel bei xel bong lul yaeing me e gya.Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56Vexo ma luw ta etek, ekom Yesu peti luw nikanzek bei, “Muw se neil wou xelti en lul tiwei qandi yon.”Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
