Marka 2
1 Ni nazetto maw laemh pacoengah, anih loe Kapernuam vangpui ah akun let; anih im ah angzoh ti, tiah kaminawk mah thaih o.
A few days later Jesus returned home to Capernaum, and news spread that he was there.
2 Akra ai ah paroeai kaminawk nawnto amkhueng o, nihcae oh han ih ahmuen om ai khoek to kami to pop o, thok taeng khoek to ahmuen kong ai: anih mah to kaminawk khaeah lokthuih pae.
So many people crowded inside the house that it was packed, even outside the door, as Jesus told them the message.
3 To naah khok ban angtawt thai ai nathaih tawn kami maeto loe, kami long palito mah angzawn o moe, anih khaeah angzoh o haih.
Four men had brought a man who was paralyzed,
4 Kami pop o parai pongah to kaminawk loe anih taengah pha o thai ai, to naah nihcae mah anih ohhaih ahmuen thuem ah, imphu to phraek o moe, khok ban angtawt thai ai nathaih tawn kami to angsonghaih iihkhun hoi nawnto pakhrak o tathuk.
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 Jesu mah nihcae tanghaih to hnuk naah, khok ban angtawt thai ai nathaih tawn kami khaeah, Ka capa, na zaehaihnawk loe tahmen boeh, tiah a naa.
When Jesus saw the trust these men had, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”
6 Thoemto ca tarik kaminawk doeh to ahmuen ah anghnut o toeng, angmacae palung thung hoiah,
Some of the religious teachers sitting there thought to themselves,
7 tipongah hae kami mah Sithaw ih ahmin kasae thuih vai? Sithaw khue ai ah loe mi mah maw zae tahmen thai tih, tiah poek o.
“Why is he talking like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins? Only God can do that!”
8 Nihcae poekhaih to Jesu mah palung thung hoiah panoek pae naah, nihcae khaeah, Tikhoe to tiah na poek o loe?
Jesus knew right away what they were thinking. He said to them, “Why are you thinking like this?
9 Khok ban angtawt thai ai nathaih tawn kami khaeah, Na zaehaihnawk loe tahmen boeh, tiah thuih maw kazoi kue, to tih ai boeh loe angthawk ah, baih ih kahni to la ah loe, caeh ah, tiah thuih ih lok? tiah a naa.
What's easier: to say to the paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?
10 Toe Kami Capa loe long nuiah zaehaihnawk tahmen thaihaih to a tawnh, tito na panoek o thai hanah (anih mah khok ban angtawt thai ai nathaih tawn kami khaeah, )
But to convince you that the Son of man has the right to forgive sins,
11 kang thuih o, Angthawk ah, baih ih kahni to la ah loe, nangmah im ah caeh ah, tiah a naa.
I say to you (the paralyzed man), ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.’”
12 Anih loe angthawk phrat moe, a baih ih kahni to lak pacoengah, nihcae boih hma ah caeh; to ah kaom kaminawk boih dawnrai o, hae baktih hmuen ka hnu o vai ai, tiah a thuih o moe, Sithaw to saphaw o.
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 To pacoengah anih loe tuipui taengah caeh let; to naah paroeai kaminawk anih khaeah angzoh o, nihcae to anih mah patuk.
Jesus went out beside the sea once more and taught the crowds that came to him.
14 To ahmuen hoi tacawt naah, tamut conghaih ahmuen ah anghnu Alphaeus capa Levi to a hnuk, anih khaeah, Ka hnukah bang ah, tiah a naa. Anih loe angthawk moe, anih hnukah bang.
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 Jesu anih im ah buhcaak han anghnut naah, tamut cong kaminawk, kazae kaminawk, a hnukbang kaminawk loe Jesu hoi nawnto anghnut o: pop parai kaminawk anih hnukah bang o.
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 Kazae kaminawk, tamut cong kaminawk hoi nawnto buh kacaa Anih to, ca tarik kaminawk hoi Farasinawk mah hnuk o, to naah nihcae mah a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah, Tipongah anih loe kazae kaminawk, tamut cong kaminawk hoi nawnto buh a caak loe? tiah a naa o.
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 Jesu mah to lok to thaih naah, anih mah nihcae khaeah, Ngantui kaminawk loe siboi angai ai, nganna kaminawk mah ni angaih: kai loe katoeng kaminawk kawk hanah kang zo ai, kazae kaminawk dawnpakhuemsak hanah ni kang zoh, tiah a naa.
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 Johan hnukbang kaminawk hoi Farasinawk loe buh zah o: nihcae loe angzoh o moe, Anih khaeah, Johan hoi Farasi hnukbang kaminawk loe buhzah o, toe tipongah na hnukbang kaminawk loe buh zaa o ai loe? tiah a naa o.
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 Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Zu la kami oh nathuem ah, zu la kami ih ampuinawk mah buh to zaa o tih maw? Zu la kami oh nathung nihcae mah buh zaa o thai mak ai.
“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 Toe nihcae khae hoi zulakung lak vinghaih ni to om tih, to aninawk to phak naah loe nihcae mah buh to zaa o tih.
But the day is coming when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and then they'll fast.
21 Mi mah doeh kahni kangquem to kangtha hoiah abu vai ai: to tiah abu nahaeloe kahni ngan kangtha mah kangquem to azuk ueloe, prawn aep tih.
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 Mi mah doeh misurtui kangtha to moihin pailang kangquem thungah lawn vai ai: to tiah lawn nahaeloe misurtui mah moihin pailang to tapoksak ueloe, tabu to amro tih: to pongah misurtui kangtha loe moihin pailang kangtha thungah ni lawn han oh, tiah a naa.
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 Anih loe Sabbath niah lawk ah caeh; a caeh o nathuem ah, a hnukbang kaminawk mah cangqui to takoih o.
One Sabbath day as Jesus was walking through the grain fields, his disciples started picking heads of grain as they walked along.
24 To naah Farasinawk mah anih khaeah, Khenah, tikhoe Sabbath niah sak han koi ai hmuennawk to na hnukbang kaminawk mah a sak o loe? tiah a naa o.
The Pharisees asked Jesus, “Look, why are they doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?”
25 Anih mah nihcae khaeah, David mah zok amthlam naah, angaihaih baktiah, angmah hoi nawnto kaom kaminawk mah timaw sak o, tito na kroek o vai ai maw?
“Haven't you ever read what David did when he and his men were hungry and in need?” Jesus asked them.
26 Kalen koek qaima Abiathar toksak nathuem ah, anih mah Sithaw imthung ah akun moe, kalen koek qaimanawk khue mah caak han koi, takaw to caak khue khawt ai ah, angmah hoi nawnto kaom kaminawk hanah doeh a paek to loe, tiah a naa.
“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 Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Sabbath loe kami hanah ni sak, kami loe Sabbath hanah sah ai.
“The Sabbath was made for your benefit, not for you to benefit the Sabbath,” he told them.
28 To pongah Kami Capa loe Sabbath Angraeng ah doeh oh, tiah a naa.
“So the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
