Mark 9
1 a hla ni ba wu ndi janji mi hlahni yiwu ba ri ni minbi bana to iqu rhi nda to ye iko irji ni gbengle ma na
Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth: some standing here won't die before they see the kingdom of God having come with power.”
2 da vi tane a kle yesu a vu Bitrus mba yakubu u Yohanna nda ngrji ba ka hon ni khikle gblu ri ni nkle ba hama ni ko ni doir ni ba niki ikpama a kma sraro
Six days later Jesus took Peter, James, and John with him, and led them up a high mountain to be by themselves. His appearance totally changed.
3 e nklon ma a kma zan kinkla rais zan ibluch wandi ba tindu ni wu da chu itsro wandi a centu ni mi ikpi wu gla
His clothes shone a brilliant white, whiter than anyone on earth could bleach them.
4 ba kri toh Elijah mba Musa ni mi mba ba si tre ni yesu Bitrus lukri da
Then Elijah and Moses appeared in front of them as well, talking with Jesus.
5 kpanyem ni yesu rabbi ani bi du ta khi ki niwayi wu ta kpanyem wu ka duta sro ibru itra niayi iri wu me iri wu Musa e iri wu Elijah
Peter spoke up and said, “Rabbi, it's great for us to be here! We should make three shelters—one each for you, Moses, and Elijah.”
6 shishi ma a fontsii nda du lu tre to ki
(He really didn't know what to say because they were all so frightened!)
7 ikpa lu a lu kri kaba pyenpeme e ba lu wo lantre ni mi kpaa an di
Then a cloud covered them, and a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, the one I love. Listen to him.”
8 uwayi hi vren wu sron mu wo tre ma yi ba kma ya bana la to ndior na sai yesu
Then, all of a sudden, as they were watching, there was nobody. Only Jesus was with them.
9 ni andi ba kma si grjhi rjhi ni tu gblua a mhmba du ba na hla ni ndoir ikpi wandi ba to ni tu ngblua na sei vren ndi ta shimen ni qu
As they came down the mountain Jesus instructed them not to tell anyone what they'd seen until the Son of man had risen from the dead.
10 ba kpa tre a grji sron da ki tre ndi tashen yi ni qu a gye?
They kept this to themselves, but they did argue with each other over what it meant to rise from the dead.
11 ba lu mye ni dongye nikon bi nha vunvu ba tre ndi Elijahni guci ye
“Why do the religious teachers state that Elijah has to come first?” they asked him.
12 a kma hla bawu andi elijah ni ye guci da ye mla kpi ti amain gye sa ba rhe ndi vren ndi ni guci ti ya kpukpome u ba kpa a tsiri
“It's true that Elijah comes first to prepare everything,” Jesus replied. “But why then does it say in Scripture that the Son of man has to suffer so much and be treated with contempt?
13 mi lha niyiwu Elijah a yeye u ndi ba thi ekpi wandi ba son ti niwua tsra ni kpi ani ba hla ni tuma
However, I tell you that Elijah has come, and they abused him in whatever way they wanted, just as Scripture said they would.”
14 da ba ye zon tu ni nbru mri ko bi huzama ba ye to ndi gbugbuwu ba bi niko bi nha vuvu ba si sen nyu ni ba
When they returned to the other disciples, they saw them surrounded by a large crowd and some religious teachers arguing with them.
15 da ba to yesu ipentren di ba ghir nda tisutsu ye cie
As soon as the crowd saw Jesus they were in total awe, and ran to greet him.
16 a mye mri ko ma bi huzama di bisi senyu qyemu ni ba?
“What are you arguing with them about?” Jesus asked them.
17 indi ihii ni mi gbugbu ndi ba sa wu da tre ndi ndi wu tsoro mi nji vren mu ye ni wu a hei ni suron ibrji wandi ani zu bubu tre
One of the people in the crowd answered, “Rabbi, I brought my son to you. He has an evil spirit that prevents him speaking.
18 a nita lu niwu a ni ban u whurtaga da du ta zran da fu nfom ni nyu da tan nyere du kma kru kpen me mi mye mri ko me do ba zu mcmebrji rju u ba ti wa kran
Whenever he has a seizure it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and he becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive it out of him, but they couldn't do it.”
19 a si tre ni bawu ndi kba bi hon kpanye ni son ni yi tsar ni tan? mi vu sron ni yi hi ni tanmu? njivren ye nimu
“You unbelieving people!” Jesus responded. “How long must I remain here with you? How long do I have to put up with you? Bring him over here to me!”
20 ba nji vivren ye niwu ni tu yesu meme brji a kri tru ku kma vivren a rjoku da zran da ni kran nfo ni nyu
So they brought him to Jesus. When the evil spirit saw Jesus it immediately sent the boy into convulsions and threw him on the ground, where he rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
21 yesu a mye thima azi he toyi rji ni tan? ti ma a halawu ndi rhi ni tistea
“How long has he had this?” Jesus asked the boy's father. “Since he was small,” the father replied.
22 a nita lu nivu ani ban wu taga ni lu ani bawu yo ni ma kama ani wuuu wuta ni ti kpe ni tu ma wuka ya ta ni lo suron ni sikpa
“Often it throws him into the fire to burn him to death, or throws him into water to drown him. Please have mercy on us and help, if you can.”
23 yesu a myee wuta ni to ti ko nge na zan gbenglen na ni indi wandi a kpanyema
“Why do you say, ‘if you can?’” replied Jesus. “Whoever trusts has every power!”
24 hari iti vren a dbu da tre ndi mi kpanyme zo khanyme mu
“I do trust in you,” the man shouted out right away. “Help me not to distrust you.”
25 da yesu a to ikpa ndi ba tsutsu si ye ni ba a kri nacho ni meme ibrji nda tre di wu brji manbi ba nkpram me nacho ni wu rhu ni kpa ma dina la kma ri na
Jesus, seeing that the crowd was closing in, commanded the evil spirit, “Spirit that causes deafness and dumbness, I order you to come out of him and never return.”
26 a kpagro da ru do vivren joku ku kpin kpiri nda rhu ni kpama vivren a kru naa que u gra ndi ba tre di a qui
The spirit screamed and threw the boy into severe convulsions. Then the spirit came out of the boy and left him for dead—to the extent that many of the people said, “He's dead.”
27 aman yesu a zu wama hon u vivren a lu de kirkir
But Jesus took the boy by the hand and helped him up, and he got to his feet.
28 da yesu a kmaye ni ko mri koma ba mye ni kosan angye zuta bubu zu rhu?
Later, when Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him in private, “Why couldn't we drive the evil spirit out?”
29 a lha ba wu ndi bibiyi ba na zu ba rhu megen na sai de ni bre irji
“This kind can't be driven out except by prayer,” Jesus told them.
30 ba rhu niki nda zren zu ni Galilee ana son do ndi du ba toh wrji wandi ba hye na
They left and passed through Galilee. Jesus didn't want anyone to know where he was
31 a sira tsro mri ko bi hua da ila bawu ndi vivren ndi ni ku ni woh mri ndi ba wuu u ni vi u tra ani tashmem da lunde ngari
because he was teaching his disciples. “The Son of man will be betrayed to human authorities,” he told them. “They will kill him, but three days later he will rise again.”
32 bana to tu tre a na siri zuba bubu myea
They didn't understand what he meant and were too afraid to ask him about it.
33 mle bari ni capernaum da ba rhi niko a mye ba ndi bisiyatre ni tu gye niko?
They arrived at Capernaum, and once they were inside the house where they were staying, Jesus asked them, “What were you talking about on the way?”
34 ba kma khi ni gbangbi ba siya sen nhu ni kpamba ni tu nha zan mbrumba
But they didn't say anything because they had been arguing over who was the most important.
35 a kuson da yo mri ko ma itso ba nda bha bawu ndi wa nison hye mu mlan ka kma tuma yo kogon da tindu ni mbru ba
Jesus sat down and called the twelve disciples together. “If anyone wants to be first, he has to be the very last, the servant of everyone else,” he told them.
36 a ban vivren tsitsa nda kau zi ni tsutsu mba nda baun nji ni ngban ma nda tre ndi
He took a small child and had the child stand right in the middle of them. Then he picked up and hugged the child, and told them,
37 ko nha wandi a kpa vivren tsitsa yi ni ndemu a kpa me ndi wa a kpa me ana me megen a kpa na a kpa ndi wa ton me
“Whoever welcomes a child like this in my name, welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me doesn't welcome me but the one who sent me.”
38 Yohana hla ni wu di tico u khi to ndi rhi si zu brji ni rhu ni kpa ndi ni ndeme khi zuu ndi a ana huta na
John said to Jesus, “Rabbi, we saw someone driving out demons in your name. We tried to stop him because he wasn't one of us.”
39 yesu asa niwu da tre ndi na zuu na ndi wandi a ni ti khikle kpe ni ndemu ana kman tre kpe meme ni tu muna
“Don't stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who is doing miracles in my name can curse me at the same time.
40 ndi wandi ana komani ta na a wubu
Anyone who is not against us is for us.
41 ko nha wandi anuyi kofima u so ni ndemu nitu bi hye wu kristi mi lha tre janji ni yiwu ana hon kpa lidima na
Anyone who gives a cup of water to you in my name, because you belong to Christ, won't lose their reward, believe me.
42 indi wandi a do iri tsitsa biyi biwandi ba kpa nyme ni me ba kubuza ani zan do ba nkpi tita glo ni toh ma nda tru yo ni lon ma
But if anyone leads one of these little ones who trust in me into sin, it would be better for them if they were thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around their neck.
43 e wome nita do kbuza ha taga ani zan wuka ri ni ko rji ni kpurhuwo ni do riko lu wandi ana kle na ni wome bambawu (Geenna g1067)
If your hand leads you to sin, cut it off! It's better to enter eternal life as a cripple than to go with both hands into Gehenna, into the fire that can't be put out. (Geenna g1067)
44 chiche vunvu mumla bi bana hye nitre aya 44 hi ni 46 na bubu wandi intso bi andi ba he nike bana kwu na e lu na ybe na
45 iza me nita du kbu za han ihu ani bi zandu ri ni ko irji hama ni za ni du he ni za me hamba e baka truyo ni mi lu (Geenna g1067)
If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off! It's better to enter eternal life lame than to be thrown into Gehenna still having two feet. (Geenna g1067)
46 chiche vunvu bi sen wa ba bizen bana he ni nha 44 mba 46 na wa ntson mba bana kwuna e bana ybi lu ma na
47 shishi me nita du kbu 39 chuu rhu ani bi zan wuke ri ni ko irji ni shishi ri ni du hye ni shishi ha ni do ba truu yo ni lu (Geenna g1067)
If your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out! It's better to enter the kingdom of God with just one eye than to be thrown into Gehenna still having both eyes, (Geenna g1067)
48 wandi ba tson niki bana kwu na ilua na ybi na
where the worm doesn't die and the fire never goes out.
49 ba hii ko nha ni ma wu ba gon toni ma
Everybody will be ‘salted’ by fire.
50 ima bi anita chu ro ma ru wu kmaahi ro ngari? he nii ro ma ni kpambi ni du sisuron hei ni minbi
Salt is good, but if it loses its taste, how could you make it salty again? You need to be like salt, and live in peace with one another.”
