Mark 2
1 Da a kumaye ni Capernaum ni mi vi fie mee, ndi ba woh da hei niko.
A few days later Jesus returned home to Capernaum, and news spread that he was there.
2 Gbugbu ndi ba tsutsu da shuni bubua, ikon 'u” zu no ri koha ana heina, Yes sibla tre nibawu.
So many people crowded inside the house that it was packed, even outside the door, as Jesus explained the message to them.
3 Indi nzah ba jin vayi mba wa a chronchu ye ni Yesu.
Four men had brought a man who was paralyzed,
4 Bana to ikoh “u” ri hi ni Yesu na, ba hon zu ni tukan, da ghlen tukan, da ban ndi “u” chronchu rini Yesu.
but they could not get near Jesus because of the crowds. So they went up on the roof and took it apart. After they had made an opening above Jesus, they lowered down the mat with the paralyzed man lying on it.
5 Yesu toh gbegble suron ba da tre ivre ba wur lahtre me hle ni wu.
When Jesus saw the trust these men had, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”
6 Se bibla vuvu wa ba sun ni ki, ba si rimre nisuron ba di Yesu lahtre,
Some of the religious teachers sitting there thought to themselves,
7 Ba indi da ani wur lahtre ndi hlega, sai Irji nikankrima ni wur lahtre ndi hlega
“Why is he talking like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins? Only God can do that!”
8 Yesu toh misuron ba da miyen ba agye nji meme mmre ba ye ni yi wu?
Jesus knew right away what they were thinking. He said to them, “Why are you thinking like this?
9 Niwa ba kpa lahtre wurhle ni ba wu, ni wa ba hla ban blame ni hi kpame, a time agan?
What's easier: to say to the paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?
10 Yesu a toh di vre Irji a hei ni gbengbenlen “u” wur lahtre hle ga, da hla ni ndi wu chronchu,
But to convince you that the Son of man has the right to forgive sins,
11 mi hla “u” lude di ban blame di hi koh.
I say to you (the paralyzed man), ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.’”
12 Indi wu chronchu a lude ban blama da hi kpa ma, Indi ba buh iyuen yo woh da tre, kina taba toh Bibi kpei nayi na.
He stood up, picked up his mat, and walked out in front of everyone there. They were all amazed, and praised God, saying, “We've never ever seen anything like this!”
13 Yesu rhu hi ni kosan nei, ndi gbugbu ba hu hi ni neila, wa ka si bla tre ni bawu.
Jesus went out beside the sea once more and taught the crowds that came to him.
14 Da asi zre da toh Levi ivre Alphaeus a kuson ni bi kpa ban. Yesu du hu wawu, wa lude hu Yesu.
As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector's booth. “Follow me,” Jesus told him. Levi got up and followed Jesus.
15 Yesu si rhi lah mi koh Levi, in bi kpa ban gbugbu, baba bi lahtre wasi rhi no “u” baba mrikon, ndi gbugbu ba hu.
That evening Jesus ate dinner at Levi's house. Many tax collectors and “sinners” joined Jesus and his disciples for the meal, for there were many of these people that followed Jesus.
16 Farisawa bibla vuvu, ba toh Yesu si ri biri nikoh Levi da miyen mri koh ma a gye sa ti kohbi si ribiri ni bi lahtre?
When the religious leaders of the Pharisees saw Jesus eating with such people, they asked Jesus' disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
17 Yesu woh ba da tre indi wa ahei ni gbengbenlen ana wa den na, see ndi “u” lilo niwa den. Mi na ye nitu bi woh tre mu na, mi ye ni tubi lahtre.
When Jesus heard this, he told them, “It's not healthy people who need a doctor, but those who are sick. I haven't come to invite those who live right, but those who don't—the sinners.”
18 Mrikoh Yohana baba Farisawa bata son ni hlama, indi baye da tre ahigye sa mrikoh Yesu bana vu hlana na?
Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. Some of them came to Jesus, and asked him, “Why is it that John's disciples and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don't?”
19 Yesu ka hla ni bawu, ayiwu kpukpan ango ba ka son ni hlama
“Do wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them?” Jesus asked them. “No. While the bridegroom's with them, they can't fast.
20 Se chachu wa ba ban ango rhu, “u” ba son ni hla ma.
But the day is coming when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and then they'll fast.
21 Ba ndi a niwar klon sisama nitu chiche ma, don ani ya yabba sisama game.
No one puts a patch that's not shrunk on old clothes. Otherwise the new piece will shrink away from the old, and make the tear worse.
22 Ba ndi wa ani ban hi sama sur ni chiche ri, don ani fu hle ga, se ba ka sur sama ni miri sama.
No one puts new wine in old wineskins. Otherwise the wine will burst the wineskins, and both the wine and wineskins will be wasted. No. You put new wine in new wineskins.”
23 Ni chachu sati Yesu si zre zu ni mi rhu, mrikohma ba zi gbusu tan.
One Sabbath day as Jesus was walking through the grain fields, his disciples started picking heads of grain as they walked along.
24 Farisawa baka tre ni Yesu du toh ikpie a di mrikoh me ba si ti kpie wa dana bina ni chachu sati.
The Pharisees asked Jesus, “Look, why are they doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?”
25 A miye ba, bina toh ikpie wa Dauda baba ndima ba ti na? iyoun ti ba,
“Haven't you ever read what David did when he and his men were hungry and in need?” Jesus asked them.
26 baka hini Abitha ndi wu ton du Irji, waka noba breadi chachu sati, “u” ba ka tan
“He went into God's house when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the consecrated bread which no one except the priests are permitted to eat, and gave it to his men too.”
27 Yesu tre ba ti chachu sati ni idi, bana ti indi ni chachu sati na.
“The Sabbath was made for your benefit, not for you to benefit the Sabbath,” he told them.
28 Ni tu ki Ivre Indi a hi “u” Bachi “u” chachu sati.
“So the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
