Markos 9
1 Yisa wora ani nani “na nbellin minu kidegen, among mine kikane na iyisin na iba ku ba sai iyene udak tigoh Kutellẹ nin likara mẹ.
He also said to [his disciples], “Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see God ruling powerfully in [many ways]. You will see it before you die!”
2 Na ayiri kutoci wa kata yisa gya nin Butrus, Yakubu a Yohanna, ighana kitine lukup nin natimine. kidowo me kpillia ki ta ugang mbun mine.
A week later Jesus took Peter, James and [James’ younger brother] John and led them up a high mountain. [While they were] alone up there, he appeared very different to them.
3 Kultuk me kpilia, kubọ pau har ma na iwase ise unan tizu npozu nalutuk nye nani ba.
His clothes became dazzling white. They were whiter than anyone on earth could make them by bleaching them.
4 Iliya nin musa tinna inuzu mbun mine, itunna in liru nin yisa.
[Two prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah, appeared to them. Then the two of them began talking with Jesus.
5 Bitrus kauwa aworo Yisa ku, Cikilari a unan yiru, uchaunari na tidi kikane, Na ti kẹ adanga atat ti kẹ feku kurum, kurum bara Musa a kurum kun Iliya”.
[After a short time], Peter [interrupted by] exclaiming, “Teacher, it is wonderful to be here! So allow us to make three shelters. One [will be] for you, one [will be] for Moses, and one [will be] for Elijah!”
6 Na Bitrus wadi asa mala imon ille na adi belle ba, fiu kiffo nono katuwa yisa vat.
[He said this] because [he wanted to say something, but] he did not know what to say, because he and the other [two disciples] were very awestruck.
7 Kuwut tolo kuda ta nani ushin, liwui tunna linuzu nan nya kuwute aworo “Gono kane kin kinnayi nighari lanzan ghe”.
Then a [shining] cloud appeared that covered them. [God] [EUP] spoke to them from the cloud saying, “This is my Son. I love him. [Therefore], listen to him!”
8 Na nin dandaunu ba igitirno na ikuru iyeni umong nanghinu ba, ma yisa ri chas.
When [the three disciples] looked around, they saw that suddenly Jesus was alone with them, and that there was no longer anyone [else] there.
9 Na iwa din tolu kitene kupare. A wunno nani atuf na iwa bellin umon imonille na iyeni ba. Sai Usaun nnit nfita nanya na nan nkul.
While they were coming down the mountain, Jesus told them that they should not tell anyone [yet] what had just happened to him. He said, “You may tell them after I, the one who came from heaven, (rise from the dead/become alive again) after I die.”
10 Iso nin nlire tik nanya nibinai mine ikwiliza nan nya natimine iyaghari ba yitu ufitu nanya na nan nkiu une.
So they did not tell others about it [for a long time]. But they discussed among themselves what it meant when he said that he would (rise from the dead/become alive again) after he died.
11 Itiringhe “iyarin ntah anan niyerte wa woro Iliya ri batu adak?”
[The three disciples had just seen Elijah, but Elijah had not done anything to prepare people to accept Jesus. So] they asked Jesus, “The men who teach the [Jewish] laws say that Elijah must come back to the earth before [the Messiah comes to earth. But you have been here a long time and Elijah came just today. So is what they are teaching wrong?]”
12 Aworo nani nanere Iliya na burun dak, anan kele imon vat. Iyari ntah iina nyertin gonon nit ba nieu nanya nmon gwardang anit tutun banin narrighe?
[Jesus wanted them to know that John the Baptizer was the one who represented Elijah. So] he answered them, “It is true that [God promised to send Elijah to come] first [so that people would be ready when I came]. Elijah’s representative has already come, and our leaders treated him very badly, just like they wanted to do, just like it was prophesied {[the prophets] prophesied} long ago. But, (I also want you to consider what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} in the Scriptures about me, the one who came from heaven./why have you not thought about what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} about me, the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ] It is written {They wrote} that I would suffer much and that I would be rejected {that [many people] would reject me}.”
13 Meng woro munu Illiya nadak inani wa sughe ille imon na wa dinin su we nafo na ina nyertu na bellin kitene me.”
14 Na igbilla kikaa na ingisin nono katuwe, duku, iyene anit gwardang kiilino nani ida se anan nyerte din nani matiru liru.
[Jesus and those three disciples] returned to where the [other] disciples were. They saw a large crowd around the other disciples and [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws arguing with them.
15 Na iyenne yisa ku vat nnanite isu umamaki itinna iputu nin nchum ida kitime ida lisoghe na inya nin dak.
As soon as the crowd saw Jesus, they were very surprised [to see him come]. So they ran to him and greeted him.
16 Atiro nani nono katuwa memanyardang nnyaghari idun sua nanghinu?
He asked them, “What are you arguing about?”
17 Umon nanya ligoze kawaghe “unan yiru nndamun nin gono nighe adumun nagbergenu alle na sa iwantighe uliru gegeme.
A man in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son [here in order that] you [would heal him]. There is an evil spirit in him [that makes him] unable to talk.
18 Idin tizughe nafo abakuu assa itaghe atiza yeryer, adeo kutin, anutuzuno kapunjet nnuu me adinga unyakuayini me. anin ta cakatak. nmini uwan tiirin nono katuwa fe inunta agbergene, ina ni na iyinno ba.”
Whenever the spirit attacks him, it throws him down. He foams at the mouth, he grinds his teeth together, and he becomes stiff. I asked your disciples to expel the spirit, but they were not able to do it.”
19 A kawa nani “Anun kujji nsalin yinnu sa uyenu udu kome kibiari meng ba tizu ayi ashau ninghinu? Dan ninghe kitinighe.”
Jesus replied by saying to those people, “(I am very disappointed that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]!/Why is it that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]?) [RHQ] (I have been with you a long time, [and you still cannot do what I do]!/How long do I have to be with you [before you can do what I do]?) [RHQ] Bring the boy to me!”
20 idamun gone kitime na agbergenu iyene yisa ku, gone tunna ntizu yer yer dedei gone deo kutin apunjet tunna nnucughe nnu.
So they brought the boy to Jesus. As soon as the evil spirit saw Jesus, it shook the boy severely, and [the boy] fell on the ground. He rolled around, and he foamed at the mouth.
21 Yisa tiirino uchifun gona “ninshiyari ile imone na so nene?” uchife woroghhe “tun tinono mi.
Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” He replied, “[This started to happen] when he was a child.
22 Kon kubi asaataghe nanya nlah sa nanya nmyen, akuru amassa ummolughe. Andi uwa uta nimomon lanza nkunekane bite ubunari.”
[The spirit does not only do this], but he also often throws him into the fire or into the water in order to kill him. But, pity us and help us, if you can!”
23 Yisa woroghe “Andi uba yinnua? Ko iyapin imon insuari kitin nle na ayinna nin kibinai me.”
Jesus exclaimed to him, “[Do not say] [RHQ] ‘If you can’, for [God/I] can do anything for people who believe [in him/me]!”
24 Na nin nmolu kubi ba ucifin gone ghantina liwui kuchullu aworo “Inyinna! Buni nanya ninsalin nyinnu nighe.
Immediately the child’s father shouted, “I believe [that you can help me, but I do not believe strongly]. Help me to believe more strongly!”
25 Na yisa nyyenie ligozi nanite uchindak kitimine a kpada kugbergenue aworoghe, “Fee kugbergenue a nsalin bellu nin salin nlannzu nliru ntafi nuzu nanya me, Na uwu kuru upirughe nanya me ba.”
Because [Jesus wanted to heal the boy before] the crowd got bigger, he rebuked the evil spirit, saying, “You evil spirit, you who are [causing this boy to be] deaf and unable to talk! I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”
26 Kugbergenue ta ntet anyunguruno gone kang annin anuzu, gone wan ti fo ulle na aku gwardang nanit woro aku.”
The evil spirit shouted, it shook the boy violently, and then it left the boy. The boy did not move. He seemed like a dead body. So many of the people there said, “He is dead!”
27 Yisa akifo ghe ncara a fiyaghe gonne fitah ayisina.
However, Jesus took him by the hand and helped him get up. Then the boy stood up. [He was healed]!
28 na yisa da pira kilari nono kaluwa me duku itiirino gheekusari kurum “iyaghari ntah na arike nyino unutunu kugbergenu ba?”
Later, when Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, one of them asked him, “Why were we not able to expel [the evil spirit]?”
29 A woro nani, “imuse nile imone din nuchu hem nani ba sai nin liirang
He said to them, “You can expel this kind [of evil spirit] only by your praying [that God will give you the power to do it]. There is no other way that you can expel them.”
30 Inuzu kakane ikata ngalillee, na yisa wa dinun su umon yinin kiti kkanga na iduku ba.
After [Jesus and his disciples] left that [district], they traveled through Galilee [district]. Jesus did not want anyone [else] to know [that he was in their area]; he did not want
31 Bara awa din dursu nono katuwa me. A woro nani, ibanie gonnon nnit nachara nanit, inughe ba mollughe kubi ko na im ologhe, asa nayiru atat nkata aba fitu tutun.”
[anyone to interrupt him] as he taught his disciples. He was telling them, “[Some day my enemies] [SYN] will seize [MTY] me, the one who came from heaven, and I will be handed over [to other] men. Those men will kill me. But on the third day after I am killed {after they kill me}, I will become alive again!”
32 Na iwa yinin uliru me ba, ilanza fieu nworu itiiringhe.
But they did not understand what he was telling them. Also, they were afraid to ask him about what he had said.
33 Idah kafarnahum kubi ko na awandi nanya kilari atirino nono katuwa me. “Uyapin uliruri ini yita nsue libau we?”
Jesus and his disciples returned to Capernaum [town]. When they were in the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing [while we were traveling] on the road?”
34 Nin nani itunna imino tuk ini yita manyardang nati mine libau we nnanya woru ghari baso udia nanya mine.
But they did not reply. [They were ashamed to reply] because, [while they were traveling], they had been arguing with each other about which one of them [would be] the most important [when Jesus became king].
35 Aso ayichila lukure nin nanwaba. Aworo nanni, “Vat ulle nge na adinin su aso bun aso unan kidun akuru aso kuchin mine vat.”
He sat down, he summoned the twelve disciples [to come close to him], and then he said to them, “If anyone wants [God to consider him] to be the most important person of all, he must [consider himself] to be the least important person of all, and he must serve everyone [else].”
36 A yira Kagono kabene achiau ketik mine, a kuru a yira ka gone nin na chara me aworo nani.
Then he took a child and placed him among them. He took the child in his arms and then he said to them,
37 “Vat ule nge na a serre gono kibbene kane nanya lisanig, uso miyari aserei ule na aserre me nku na mere ku chas ba ninle nge na ana tuuyi.”
“Those who, [because they love] me, welcome a child like this one, [God considers that] they are welcoming me. So [it is as though] they are also welcoming [God], who sent me.”
38 Yohana bellinghe “unan yiru tiiyene umon din nutuzunu nagbergenu nanya lisafe ti nani wantinghe bara na adin dortu bitari ba.”
John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone who was expelling demons, ([claiming he had] authority from you [to do that/while telling people] that you [have told him to do it]). So we told him to stop doing it because he was not one of us [disciples].”
39 Bara nani yisa woro “na iwa wantin ghe ba na umon duku ulle na awnya asu katuwa kadia nanya lissa nigh anin kuru akpilla abelle imon inanzan kitene lissa nighe.
Jesus said, “Do not tell him [not to do that]! For no one will speak evilly about me just after he performs a miracle while saying that I [have told him to do it].
40 Vat ulle na adin nivira nanghirk ba, ame umbitari.
Furthermore, those who are not opposing us are trying to [achieve the same goals that] we are.
41 Ullenge na ana manu kakuk nsonu nmyen bara anun anit nighari kidegen indin bellu munu aba se imon wesu tinonto
Also think about this: Those [who belong to me who help you in any way, even] if they [just] give you a cup of water to drink because you follow [me], the Messiah, will certainly be rewarded [by God]!”
42 Vat ule na atah umon nanya nibebene nane na inah nibinai mine kitinighe idiou. Uba kaitiniuh ghe yaun litala lidia aterughe nto itughe nanyakulli kudia.
[Jesus also said], “But if you cause someone who believes in me to sin, [God will severely punish you], even if that person is [socially unimportant like] this little child. If someone tied a heavy stone around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that was a severe punishment. But God will punish you more severely] than that [if you cause a person who believes in me to sin].
43 Assa ucharafe ba tifi utirro, werne unin uba katinifi nwoni use ulai Kutellẹ ninchara urum nin nworu upiru nlaah nin nacara aba nsali nbichu. (Geenna g1067)
[So], if you are [wanting to use one of] [MTY, PRS] [your hands to sin, stop using your hand! Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and that you live eternally, [even though you lack one of] your hands [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and as a result God throws your whole body into hell. There the fires never go out! (Geenna g1067)
44 Kiti kanga na ajiji naburu mine ba bijuba, a ulamine ba bichu ba.
45 Andi kubunu fe batifi utirru werne kuninn ukatinfi use ulai sa ligan nin kubunu kurum nin woro upiru nanya laah nin na bunufe abaa (Geenna g1067)
If you are [wanting to use] one of [PRS] your feet to sin, [stop using your foot! Even if you have to] cut off your foot [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, [even though] you lack one of your feet [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and go to hell. (Geenna g1067)
47 i use ulai nanya kufee tigo Kutellẹ nin lisa lirum da iworo upiru nanya kilari laa nin niyizi ibah. (Geenna g1067)
If because of what you see [MTY, PRS] you are tempted to sin, [stop looking at those things]! Even if you have to gouge out your eye and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, even though you lack one of] your eyes [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and, as a result, God puts your whole body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
48 Kiti kanga na ishun ba kuzu ba. Tutun ula ba bichu ba.
In that place people suffer forever and the fires are never put out {never go out}.”
49 Vat nanite nani ninla nafo nto iba kelu Nto chaun.
“[You must endure difficulties in order that God will be pleased with you. Your difficulties are like] a fire [that makes things pure] [MET]. [Your enduring is also like] [MET] salt being put [on] {people putting salt on their} [sacrifices to make them pure].
50 Asa nto ndira mmamas me fe ba kellu minin miti mamas Iziyari? yita mamas nafo nto nanya mine, iso mang nan nati
Salt is useful [to put on food], but you cannot [RHQ] make salt to taste salty again if it becomes flavorless [MET]. Similarly, you must remain useful to God, [because no one can make you useful to God again if you become useless]. You must also live peacefully with each other.”
