Mark 2
1 Da a kumaye ni Capernaum ni mi vi fie mee, ndi ba woh da hei niko.
Some days later, when Jesus came back to Capernaum, the news spread that he was in a house there;
2 Gbugbu ndi ba tsutsu da shuni bubua, ikon 'u” zu no ri koha ana heina, Yes sibla tre nibawu.
and so many people collected together, that after a while there was no room for them even around the door; and he began to tell them his message.
3 Indi nzah ba jin vayi mba wa a chronchu ye ni Yesu.
Some people came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, who was being carried by four of them.
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.
They were unable to get him near to Jesus, because of the crowd, so they removed the roof above Jesus, and, when they had made an opening, they let down the mat on which the paralyzed man was lying.
5 Yesu toh gbegble suron ba da tre ivre ba wur lahtre me hle ni wu.
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Child, your sins are forgiven.”
6 Se bibla vuvu wa ba sun ni ki, ba si rimre nisuron ba di Yesu lahtre,
But some of the teachers of the Law who were sitting there were debating in their minds,
7 Ba indi da ani wur lahtre ndi hlega, sai Irji nikankrima ni wur lahtre ndi hlega
“Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins except God?”
8 Yesu toh misuron ba da miyen ba agye nji meme mmre ba ye ni yi wu?
Jesus, at once intuitively aware that they were debating with themselves in this way, said to them, “Why are you debating in your minds about this?
9 Niwa ba kpa lahtre wurhle ni ba wu, ni wa ba hla ban blame ni hi kpame, a time agan?
Which is easier? – to say to the paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven’? Or to say ‘Get up, and take 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 so you may know that the Son of Man has power to forgive sins on earth” – here he said to the paralyzed man –
11 mi hla “u” lude di ban blame di hi koh.
“To you I say, Get up, take up your mat, and return to your 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.
The man got up, and immediately took up his mat, and went out before them all; at which they were amazed, and, as they praised God, they said, “We have never 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 again to the sea; and all the people came to him, and he taught them.
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 went along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting in the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me.” Levi got up and followed him.
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.
Later on he was in his house having dinner, and a number of tax collectors and outcasts took their places at the table with Jesus and his disciples; for many of them were following him.
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 teachers of the Law belonging to the party of the Pharisees saw that he was eating in the company of such people, they said to his disciples, “Why does he eat with the tax collectors and outcasts?”
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.
Hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not those who are healthy who need a doctor, but those who are ill. I did not come to call the religious, but the outcast.”
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, and people came and asked Jesus, “Why is it that John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, while yours do not?”
19 Yesu ka hla ni bawu, ayiwu kpukpan ango ba ka son ni hlama
Jesus answered, “Can the groom’s friends fast, while the groom is with them? As long as they have the groom with them, they cannot fast.
20 Se chachu wa ba ban ango rhu, “u” ba son ni hla ma.
But the days will come, when the groom will be taken away from them, and they will fast then – when that day comes.”
21 Ba ndi a niwar klon sisama nitu chiche ma, don ani ya yabba sisama game.
“No one ever sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; if they do, the patch tears away from it – the new from the old – and a worse tear is made.
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.
And no one ever puts new wine into old wine-skins; if they do, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins are lost. But new wine is put into fresh skins.”
23 Ni chachu sati Yesu si zre zu ni mi rhu, mrikohma ba zi gbusu tan.
One Sabbath, as Jesus was walking through the cornfields, his disciples began to pick the ears of wheat as they went along.
24 Farisawa baka tre ni Yesu du toh ikpie a di mrikoh me ba si ti kpie wa dana bina ni chachu sati.
“Look!” the Pharisees said to him, “why are they doing what is not allowed on the Sabbath?”
25 A miye ba, bina toh ikpie wa Dauda baba ndima ba ti na? iyoun ti ba,
“Have you never read,” answered Jesus, “what David did when he was in need and hungry, he and his companions –
26 baka hini Abitha ndi wu ton du Irji, waka noba breadi chachu sati, “u” ba ka tan
how he went into the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which only the priests are allowed to eat, and gave some to his comrades as well?”
27 Yesu tre ba ti chachu sati ni idi, bana ti indi ni chachu sati na.
Then Jesus added, “The Sabbath was made for people, and not people for the Sabbath;
28 Ni tu ki Ivre Indi a hi “u” Bachi “u” chachu sati.
so the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
