Mark 9
1 Then Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God arrive with power.”
Ma ọ gwara ha sị, “Nʼezie asị m unu, ụfọdụ nʼime ndị guzo nʼebe a, agaghị edetụ ọnwụ ire tupu ha ahụ alaeze Chineke mgbe ọ ga-abịa nʼike.”
2 After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There He was transfigured before them.
Mgbe ụbọchị isii gasịrị, Jisọs kpọọrọ Pita na Jemis na Jọn, duru ha rigoro nʼelu ugwu dị elu. Nʼebe ahụ ka ha nọdụrụ naanị ha. Nʼebe ahụ, a gbanwere ọdịdị ya nʼihu ha.
3 His clothes became radiantly white, brighter than any launderer on earth could bleach them.
Uwe ya na-enwu ọcha karịa ụdị ọcha ọbụla anya hụrụla. Ọ dịkwa ọcha karịa nke onye ọbụla nʼụwa nwere ike ime ka ihe dị ọcha.
4 And Elijah and Moses appeared before them, talking with Jesus.
Ha hụrụ Ịlaịja na Mosis ka ha pụtara soro Jisọs na-ekwu okwu.
5 Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters —one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
Pita gwara Jisọs sị, “Onye ozizi, ọ dị mma ka anyị nọdụ nʼebe a. Ka anyị wuo ụlọ ikwu atọ. Otu ga-abụ nke gị, otu a bụrụ nke Mosis, nke ọzọkwa a bụrụ nke Ịlaịja.”
6 For they were all so terrified that Peter did not know what else to say.
(Ọ makwaghị ihe ọ ga-ekwu nʼihi na oke egwu tụrụ ha.)
7 Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him!”
Mgbe ahụ, igwe ojii pụtara kpuchie ha. Olu sitere nʼigwe ojii ahụ daa sị, “Onye a bụ Ọkpara m, onye m hụrụ nʼanya. Geenụ ya ntị.”
8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no one with them except Jesus.
Na mberede, mgbe ha lere anya gburugburu, ọ dịkwaghị onye ọzọ ha hụrụ, karịa naanị Jisọs.
9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus admonished them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
Mgbe ha si nʼelu ugwu ahụ na-arịdata, Jisọs nyere ha iwu ka ha ghara ịgwa onye ọbụla ihe ha hụrụ, tutu ruo mgbe Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-esi nʼọnwụ bilie.
10 So they kept this matter to themselves, discussing what it meant to rise from the dead.
Ha zobere ihe a nʼetiti onwe ha, na-ekwurịtara okwu na-atule ihe isi nʼọnwụ bilie pụtara.
11 And they asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
Ma ha jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị mere ndị ozizi iwu jiri sị na Ịlaịja aghaghị ibu ụzọ bịa?”
12 He replied, “Elijah does indeed come first, and he restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected?
Ọ gwara ha sị, “Ọ bụ ezie, Ịlaịja ga-ebu ụzọ bịa, na-emekwa ka ihe dị ka ọ dị na mbụ. Ma gịnị mere e jiri dee na Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-ahụ ọtụtụ ahụhụ, bụrụkwa onye a jụrụ ajụ?
13 But I tell you that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they wished, just as it is written about him.”
Ka m gwa unu, Ịlaịja abịalarị. Ma ha mesokwara ya mmeso otu ha chọrọ dị ka e dere banyere ya.”
14 When they returned to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.
Mgbe ha bịarutere nʼebe ndị na-eso ụzọ ya nọ, ha hụrụ oke igwe mmadụ ka ha gbara ha gburugburu, hụkwa ụfọdụ ndị ozizi iwu ka ha na ha na-arụrịta ụka.
15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were filled with awe and ran to greet Him.
Ngwangwa, mmadụ ahụ niile hụrụ ya, ụdịdị ya juru ha anya. Ha gbaara ọsọ gaa kelee ya.
16 “What are you disputing with them?” He asked.
Ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Unu na ha ọ na-arụrịta ụka banyere gịnị?”
17 Someone in the crowd replied, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a spirit that makes him mute.
Otu onye nʼime igwe mmadụ ahụ zara ya sị, “Onye ozizi akpọtaara m gị nwa m nwoke, nke mmụọ ọjọọ bi nʼime ya, nke mekwara ka ọ daa ogbi.
18 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”
Mgbe ọbụla mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ malitere isogbu ya, ọ na-atụda ya nʼala. Mgbe ahụ, ọ na-agbọ ụfụfụ nʼọnụ ya, na-ata ikikere eze, anụ ahụ ya na-esikwa ike. Arịọrọ m ndị na-eso ụzọ gị ka ha chụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ a, ma ha enweghị ike.”
19 “O unbelieving generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy to Me.”
Ọ zaghachiri ha sị, “Unu ọgbọ na-enweghị okwukwe. Ruo ole mgbe ka mụ na unu ga-anọ? Ruo ole mgbe ka m ga-anagide unu? Kpọtaranụ m ya!”
20 So they brought him, and seeing Jesus, the spirit immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
Ya mere, ha kpọtaara ya nwata ahụ. Mgbe mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ hụrụ ya, ngwangwa, o nugharịrị nwata ahụ nke ukwuu, ọ daa nʼala na-atụrụ onwe ya nʼala, na-agbọkwa ụfụfụ nʼọnụ ya.
21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been with him?” “From childhood,” he said.
Jisọs jụrụ nna nwata ahụ sị, “Olee mgbe ihe a bidoro?” Ọ zara sị, “Site na mgbe ọ bụ nwata nta.
22 “It often throws him into the fire or into the water, trying to kill him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
Ọ na-eme ya ka ọ daba nʼọkụ, maọbụ na mmiri, ka ọ laa ya nʼiyi. Ọ bụrụ na ọ dị ihe i nwere ike ime, biko meere anyị ebere, nyere anyị aka.”
23 “If You can?” echoed Jesus. “All things are possible to him who believes!”
Jisọs sịrị ya, “‘Ọ bụrụ na i nwere ike’? Ihe niile pụrụ ime nʼebe onye kwere ekwe nọ.”
24 Immediately the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe; help my unbelief!”
Ngwangwa, nna nwata ahụ tiri mkpu sị, “Ekweere m, biko nyere ekweghị ekwe m aka!”
25 When Jesus saw that a crowd had come running, He rebuked the unclean spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” He said, “I command you to come out and never enter him again.”
Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ na igwe mmadụ na-agba ọsọ na-abịa nʼebe ahụ, ọ baara mmụọ ahụ na-adịghị ọcha mba sị, “Gị mmụọ ọjọọ ntị ike na ịda ogbi, ana m enye gị iwu, site nʼime nwata a pụta! Abanyekwala nʼime ya ọzọ!”
26 After shrieking and convulsing him violently, the spirit came out. The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, “He is dead.”
O tiri mkpu nʼoke olu, nugharịa nwata ahụ nke ukwuu ma site nʼime ya pụta. Nwata ahụ tọgbọrọ nʼala dị ka onye nwụrụ anwụ nke mere na ndị niile nọ nʼebe ahụ sịrị, “Ọ nwụọla!”
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.
Ma Jisọs jidere ya nʼaka selite ya elu, mee ka o guzo nʼụkwụ ya. O guzokwara.
28 After Jesus had gone into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
Ma mgbe ọ banyere nʼime ụlọ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya jụrụ ya na nzuzo sị, “Gịnị mere o jiri siere anyị ike ịchụpụ ya?”
29 Jesus answered, “This kind cannot come out, except by prayer.”
Ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ bụ naanị site nʼike ekpere ka a pụrụ ịchụpụ ụdị a.”
30 Going on from there, they passed through Galilee. But Jesus did not want anyone to know,
Ha siri nʼebe ahụ pụọ gafee Galili. Ọ chọghị ka onye ọbụla mata maka ya,
31 because He was teaching His disciples. He told them, “The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill Him, and after three days He will rise.”
nʼihi na ọ na-ezi ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ihe. Ọ sịrị ha, “A ga-arara Nwa nke Mmadụ nye nʼaka ụmụ mmadụ, ha ga-egbukwa ya ma ọ ga-ebili nʼọnwụ mgbe mkpụrụ ụbọchị atọ gasịrị.”
32 But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
Ma ha aghọtaghị ihe ọ na-agwa ha. Egwu tụkwara ha ị jụ banyere ya.
33 Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was in the house, He asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”
Emesịa, ha bịaruru Kapanọm. Mgbe ọ banyere nʼụlọ, ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Gịnị ka unu na-arụrịta ụka banyere ya nʼokporoụzọ?”
34 But they were silent, for on the way they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest.
Ma ha gbara nkịtị, nʼihi na ha rụrịtara ụka nʼokporoụzọ banyere onye dị ukwuu karịa ibe ya.
35 Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the last of all and the servant of all.”
Ọ nọdụrụ ala kpọọ mmadụ iri na abụọ ahụ, sị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla chọrọ ịbụ onye mbụ, ọ ghaghị ịbụ onye ikpeazụ, bụrụkwa onye na-ejere mmadụ niile ozi.”
36 Then He had a little child stand among them. Taking the child in His arms, He said to them,
Mgbe ahụ o kuuru otu nwantakịrị mee ka o guzoro nʼetiti ha. O kuuru nwata ahụ nʼaka ya sị ha,
37 “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes not only Me, but the One who sent Me.”
“Onye ọbụla nabatara otu nʼime ụmụntakịrị ndị a nʼaha m, na-anabata m. Ma onye ọbụla nabatara m, ọ bụghị m ka ọ nabatara, kama ọ na-anabata onye zitere m.”
38 John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone else driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”
Jọn sịrị ya, “Onye ozizi, anyị hụrụ otu onye na-achụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ nʼaha gị, ma anyị gbalịrị igbochi ya nʼihi na ọ bụghị otu onye nʼime anyị.”
39 “Do not stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who performs a miracle in My name can turn around and speak evil of Me.
Ma Jisọs gwara ha sị, “Unu egbochila ya, nʼihi na onye ọbụla ji aha m na-arụ ọrụ ebube agaghị ekwu okwu ọjọọ megide m.
40 For whoever is not against us is for us.
Nʼihi na onye ọbụla na-adịghị emegide anyị dịnyeere anyị.
41 Indeed, if anyone gives you even a cup of water because you bear the name of Christ, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.
Nʼeziokwu asị m unu, onye ọbụla ga-ekunye unu otu iko mmiri nʼaha m, nʼihi na unu bụ ndị nke Kraịst, ga-anatakwa ụgwọ ọrụ ya.
42 But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.
“Ọ bụrụkwa na onye ọbụla emee ka otu nʼime ndị a dị nta kweere na m jehie, ọ ga-akara onye ahụ mma ma ọ bụrụ na e kenyere nkume igwe nri buru ibu nʼolu ya, tụnye ya nʼime oke osimiri.
43 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two hands and go into hell, into the unquenchable fire. (Geenna g1067)
Ọ bụrụ na aka gị na-eme ka i jehie, gbupụ ya. Ọ ga-akara gị mma inwe ọrụsị baa na ndụ karịa inwe aka abụọ banye nʼọkụ ala mmụọ, ebe ọkụ ya na-adịghị anyụ anyụ; (Geenna g1067)
ebe “‘ikpuru ya na-adịghị anwụ anwụ, ọkụ ya adịghị anyụkwa anyụ.’
45 If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Ọ bụrụ na ụkwụ gị na-eme ka i jehie, gbupụ ya, tufukwaa ya, nʼihi na ọ ga-akara gị mma ịba na ndụ na ngwụrọ karịa inwe ụkwụ abụọ a tụnye gị nʼọkụ ala mmụọ; (Geenna g1067)
ebe “‘ikpuru ya na-adịghị anwụ anwụ, ọkụ ya adịghị anyụkwa anyụ.’
47 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, (Geenna g1067)
Ọ bụrụ na anya gị na-eme ka i jehie, ghụpụ ya. Ọ ga-akara gị mma na i nwere otu anya baa nʼalaeze Chineke, karịa inwe anya abụọ a tụnye gị nʼọkụ ala mmụọ, (Geenna g1067)
48 where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’
ebe “‘ikpuru ya na-adịghị anwụ anwụ, ọkụ ya adịghị anyụkwa anyụ.’
49 For everyone will be salted with fire.
A ga-eji ọkụ nụchaa onye ọbụla dị ka nnu.
50 Salt is good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
“Nnu dị mma, ma ọ bụrụ na ọ dịghị atọkwa ụtọ, olee ka ị ga-esi mee ka ọ tọọ ụtọ ọzọ? Ya mere, nweenụ nnu nʼime onwe unu. Unu na ibe unu biri nʼudo.”
