< Mark 8 >

1 In those days, there being again a great crowd, and they having nothing that they could eat, having called his disciples to [him], he says to them,
Nʼoge ahụ, igwe mmadụ ọzọ zukọrọ. Ebe ha na-enweghị ihe ha ga-eri, ọ kpọrọ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sị ha,
2 I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat,
“Enwere m ọmịiko nʼebe igwe mmadụ ndị a nọ. Nke a na-eme ya ụbọchị atọ anyị na ha nọ. Ugbu a, ha enweghị ihe ha ga-eri.
3 and if I should dismiss them to their home fasting, they will faint on the way; for some of them are come from far.
Ọ bụrụ na m ezilaga ha nʼụlọ ha, ụfọdụ nʼime ha ga-ada nʼụzọ nʼihi agụụ. Nʼihi na ụfọdụ ha si nʼebe dị anya bịa.”
4 And his disciples answered him, Whence shall one be able to satisfy these with bread here in a desert place?
Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya zara ya, “Ebee ka mmadụ ga-achọta achịcha ga-ezuru ndị a nʼime ọzara a?”
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
Jisọs jụrụ ha sị, “Ogbe achịcha ole ka unu nwere?” Ha zara sị, “Asaa.”
6 And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. And having taken the seven loaves, he gave thanks, and broke [them] and gave [them] to his disciples, that they might set [them] before [them]; and they set [them] before the crowd.
Ọ gwara igwe mmadụ ahụ ka ha nọdụ ala. O weere ogbe achịcha asaa ahụ kpee ekpere. Ọ nyawasịrị ha, nye ha ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ka ha kee igwe mmadụ ahụ niile. Ha kekwara ya nye igwe mmadụ ahụ.
7 And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed them, he desired these also to be set before [them].
Ha nwekwara azụ ole na ole. O weere ya kpee ekpere, ọ gwara ha ka ha kesaakwa ya.
8 And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up of fragments that remained seven baskets.
Ha riri, rijuo afọ. Ha tụtụkọtara iberibe achịcha dafuru nʼebe ndị a nọ rie nri. Ha tụtụjuru nkata asaa.
9 And they [that had eaten] were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
Ndị riri nri a ruru ihe dịka puku mmadụ anọ. Mgbe ahụ o zilagara ha.
10 And immediately going on board ship with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
Ngwangwa, ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya banyere nʼụgbọ mmiri gaa nʼakụkụ obodo Dalmanuta.
11 And the Pharisees went out and began to dispute against him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
Ndị Farisii bịakwutere ya malite nrụrịta ụka, na-achọ ihe ịrịbama si nʼeluigwe, iji nwalee ya.
12 And groaning in his spirit, he says, Why does this generation seek a sign? Verily I say unto you, A sign shall in no wise be given to this generation.
Ọ sụrụ ude nke ukwuu nʼime onwe ya sị, “Gịnị mere ọgbọ a ji achọ ihe ịrịbama? Nʼezie, nʼezie, agwa m unu, o nweghị ihe ịrịbama a ga-egosi ọgbọ a.”
13 And he left them, and going again on board ship, went away to the other side.
Ọ hapụrụ ha nʼebe ahụ banyekwa nʼụgbọ mmiri ọzọ, ịgafe nʼofe ọzọ nke osimiri ahụ.
14 And they forgot to take bread, and save one loaf, they had not [any] with them in the ship.
Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya chefuru iwere achịcha. Ọ bụ naanị otu ogbe achịcha fọdụụrụ ha nʼime ụgbọ.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and [of] the leaven of Herod.
Ọ dọrọ ha aka na ntị sị, “Kpacharanụ anya. Lepụnụ anya maka ihe na-eko achịcha ndị Farisii na nke Herọd.”
16 And they reasoned with one another, [saying], It is because we have no bread.
Ha kparịtara ụka nʼetiti onwe ha na-asị, “Ọ bụ nʼihi na anyị enweghị achịcha.”
17 And Jesus knowing [it], says to them, Why reason ye because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet perceive nor understand? Have ye your heart [yet] hardened?
Mgbe Jisọs ghọtara isi mkparịta ụka ha, ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Gịnị mere unu ji na-ekwu okwu maka enweghị achịcha? Ọ pụtara na unu adịghị ahụ maọbụ aghọta? Obi unu o siri ike?
18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
Unu nwere anya nke na-adịghị ahụ ụzọ? Unu nwere ntị ma unu adịghị anụ ihe? Ọ ga-abụ na unu adịghị echeta?
19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say to him, Twelve.
Mgbe m ji ogbe achịcha ise zụọ puku mmadụ ise, iberibe achịcha juru nkata ole ka unu tụtụkọtara?” Ha zara sị ya, “Nkata iri na abụọ.”
20 And when the seven for the four thousand, the filling of how many baskets of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
“Mgbe m ji ogbe achịcha asaa zụọ puku mmadụ anọ, iberibe achịcha juru nkata ole ka unu tụtụkọtara?” Ha zara sị ya, “Nkata asaa.”
21 And he said to them, How do ye not yet understand?
Ọ sịrị ha, “Unu ka nọ na-enweghị nghọta?”
22 And he comes to Bethsaida; and they bring him a blind man, and beseech him that he might touch him.
Mgbe ha ruru Betsaida, ụfọdụ mmadụ kpọtaara ya otu onye ìsì rịọọ ya ka o metụ ya aka,
23 And taking hold of the hand of the blind man he led him forth out of the village, and having spit upon his eyes, he laid his hands upon him, and asked him if he beheld anything.
Ọ duuru onye ìsì ahụ nʼaka pụọ nʼazụ obodo. Mgbe ahụ, ọ gbụsara ọnụ mmiri nʼanya ya metụkwa ya aka nʼanya. Ọ jụrụ ya sị, “Ị na-ahụ ihe ọbụla?”
24 And having looked up, he said, I behold men, for I see [them], as trees, walking.
Nwoke ahụ leliri anya elu ma sị, “Ana m ahụ ndị mmadụ ma ha dị ka osisi na-agagharị agagharị.”
25 Then he laid his hands again upon his eyes, and he saw distinctly, and was restored and saw all things clearly.
Nke ugboro abụọ Jisọs metụkwara ya aka nʼanya, mgbe ahụ anya ya meghere. O bidoro ịhụ ihe niile nke ọma.
26 And he sent him to his house, saying, Neither enter into the village, nor tell [it] to any one in the village.
Ọ zilagara ya ụlọ ya sị ya, “Abanyekwala nʼime obodo.”
27 And Jesus went forth and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea-Philippi. And by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am?
Mgbe ahụ Jisọs na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya gara nʼobodo nta ndị ọzọ dị gburugburu Sizaria Filipai. Mgbe ha na-aga nʼụzọ, ọ jụrụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sị, “Onye ka ndị mmadụ na-asị na m bụ?”
28 And they answered him, saying, John the baptist; and others, Elias; but others, One of the prophets.
Ha zara ya sị, “Ụfọdụ na-asị na ị bụ Jọn omee baptizim, ndị ọzọkwa sị na ị bụ Ịlaịja maọbụ otu nʼime ndị amụma.”
29 And he asked them, But ye, who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering says to him, Thou art the Christ.
Ma ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Ma unu onwe unu, ọ bụ onye ka unu na-asị na m bụ?” Pita zara sị, “Ị bụ Kraịst ahụ.”
30 And he charged them straitly, in order that they should tell no man about him.
Ọ dọrọ ha aka na ntị sị ha agwakwala onye ọbụla ihe banyere ya.
31 And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and of the chief priests and of the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise [again].
Emesịa, o bidoro izi ha ihe na Nwa nke Mmadụ aghaghị ịhụ ọtụtụ ahụhụ dị iche iche, ndị okenye, na ndịisi nchụaja na ndị ozizi iwu ga-ajụ ya, na aghaghị igbu ya, ma ọ ga-ebili nʼọnwụ mgbe ụbọchị nke atọ gasịrị.
32 And he spoke the thing openly. And Peter, taking him to [him], began to rebuke him.
Ọ gwaghere ha ihe ndị a ọnụ. Ma Pita kpọọrọ ya pụọ nʼotu akụkụ, bido ịbara ya mba.
33 But he, turning round and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, Get away behind me, Satan, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.
Ma ọ tụgharịrị lee ndị na-eso ụzọ ya anya, baara Pita mba sị ya, “Si nʼebe m nọ pụọ ekwensu! Ihe ị na-eche echiche ya abụghị uche Chineke, ha bụ echiche mmadụ.”
34 And having called the crowd with his disciples, he said to them, Whoever desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ kpọrọ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya na igwe mmadụ ahụ. Ọ gwara ha sị, “Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla achọọ iso m, ya gụọ ndụ ya dị ka ihe furu efu. Mgbe ahụ, ya buru obe ya soro m nʼazụ.
35 For whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it, but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's shall save it.
Nʼihi na onye na-azọ ndụ ya ka ọ ga-efunarị, ma onye ọbụla gụrụ ndụ ya dị ka ihe furu efu nʼihi m, na nʼihi oziọma m, ga-azọpụta ya.
36 For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?
Uru gịnị ka ọ ga-abara mmadụ, iritecha ụwa niile nʼuru ma tufuo ndụ ha?
37 for what should a man give in exchange for his soul?
Ọ dị ihe ọzọ dị nʼụwa mmadụ nwere ike iji gbanwere ndụ ya?
38 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him shall the Son of man also be ashamed when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Ọ bụrụ na ihere na-eme onye ọbụla nʼihi m na nʼihi okwu m nʼụwa ọjọọ a, na nʼụwa mmehie a, ihere onye ahụ ga-emekwa Nwa nke Mmadụ, mgbe ọ ga-abịaghachi nʼebube nke Nna ya, ya na ndị mmụọ ozi dị nsọ.”
