Mark 2
1 Da a kumaye ni Capernaum ni mi vi fie mee, ndi ba woh da hei niko.
After some days He entered Capernaum again, and it soon became known that He was at home;
2 Gbugbu ndi ba tsutsu da shuni bubua, ikon 'u” zu no ri koha ana heina, Yes sibla tre nibawu.
and such numbers of people came together that there was no longer room for them even round the door. He was speaking His Message to them,
3 Indi nzah ba jin vayi mba wa a chronchu ye ni Yesu.
when there came a party of people bringing a paralytic--four men carrying him.
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.
Finding themselves unable, however, to bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they untiled the roof just over His head, and after clearing an opening they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying.
5 Yesu toh gbegble suron ba da tre ivre ba wur lahtre me hle ni wu.
Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, "My son, your sins are pardoned."
6 Se bibla vuvu wa ba sun ni ki, ba si rimre nisuron ba di Yesu lahtre,
Now there were some of the Scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts.
7 Ba indi da ani wur lahtre ndi hlega, sai Irji nikankrima ni wur lahtre ndi hlega
"Why does this man use such words?" they said; "he is blaspheming. Who can pardon sins but One--that is, God?"
8 Yesu toh misuron ba da miyen ba agye nji meme mmre ba ye ni yi wu?
At once perceiving by His spirit that they were reasoning within themselves, Jesus asked them, "Why do you thus argue in your minds?
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 this paralytic, 'Your sins are pardoned,' or to say, 'Rise, 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 that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins" --He turned to the paralytic, and said,
11 mi hla “u” lude di ban blame di hi koh.
"To you I say, 'Rise, take 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.
The man rose, and immediately under the eyes of all took up his mat and went out, so that they were all filled with astonishment, gave the glory to God, and said, "We never saw anything like this."
13 Yesu rhu hi ni kosan nei, ndi gbugbu ba hu hi ni neila, wa ka si bla tre ni bawu.
Again He went out to the shore of the Lake, and the whole multitude kept coming 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.
And as He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the Toll Office, and said to him, "Follow me." So he rose 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.
When He was sitting at table in Levi's house, a large number of tax-gatherers and notorious sinners were at table with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many such who habitually followed 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?
But when the Scribes of the Pharisee sect saw Him eating with the sinners and the tax-gatherers, they said to His disciples, "He is eating and drinking with the tax-gatherers 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.
Jesus heard the words, and He said, "It is not the healthy who require a doctor, but the sick: I did not come to appeal to the righteous, but to 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 those of the Pharisees were keeping a fast.) And they came and asked Him, "How is it that John's disciples and those of the Pharisees are fasting, and yours are not?"
19 Yesu ka hla ni bawu, ayiwu kpukpan ango ba ka son ni hlama
"Can a wedding party fast while the bridegroom is among them?" replied Jesus. "So long as they have the bridegroom with them, fasting is impossible.
20 Se chachu wa ba ban ango rhu, “u” ba son ni hla ma.
But a time will come when the Bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast.
21 Ba ndi a niwar klon sisama nitu chiche ma, don ani ya yabba sisama game.
No one mends an old garment with a piece of unshrunk cloth. Otherwise, the patch put on would tear away from it--the new from the old--and a worse hole would be 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 pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise the wine would burst the skins, and both wine and skins would be lost. New wine needs fresh skins!"
23 Ni chachu sati Yesu si zre zu ni mi rhu, mrikohma ba zi gbusu tan.
One Sabbath He was walking through the wheatfields when His disciples began to pluck the ears of wheat as they went.
24 Farisawa baka tre ni Yesu du toh ikpie a di mrikoh me ba si ti kpie wa dana bina ni chachu sati.
So the Pharisees said to Him, "Look! why are they doing what on the Sabbath is unlawful?"
25 A miye ba, bina toh ikpie wa Dauda baba ndima ba ti na? iyoun ti ba,
"Have you never read," Jesus replied, "what David did when the necessity arose and he and his men were hungry:
26 baka hini Abitha ndi wu ton du Irji, waka noba breadi chachu sati, “u” ba ka tan
how he entered the house of God in the High-priesthood of Abiathar, and ate the Presented Loaves--which none but the priests are allowed to eat--and gave some to his men also?"
27 Yesu tre ba ti chachu sati ni idi, bana ti indi ni chachu sati na.
And Jesus said to them: "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath;
28 Ni tu ki Ivre Indi a hi “u” Bachi “u” chachu sati.
so that the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."
