< Mark 9 >

1 And he said to them: Amen I say to you, that there are some of them that stand here, who shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God coming in 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 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves, and 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 And his garments became shining and exceeding white as snow, so as no fuller upon earth can make white.
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 there appeared to them Elias with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.
Ha hụrụ Ịlaịja na Mosis ka ha pụtara soro Jisọs na-ekwu okwu.
5 And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
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 he knew not what he said: for they were struck with fear.
(Ọ makwaghị ihe ọ ga-ekwu nʼihi na oke egwu tụrụ ha.)
7 And there was a cloud overshadowing them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my most beloved son; hear ye 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 And immediately looking about, they saw no man any more, but Jesus only with them.
Na mberede, mgbe ha lere anya gburugburu, ọ dịkwaghị onye ọzọ ha hụrụ, karịa naanị Jisọs.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them not to tell any man what things they had seen, till the Son of man shall be risen again 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 And they kept the word to themselves; questioning together what that should mean, when he shall be risen from the dead.
Ha zobere ihe a nʼetiti onwe ha, na-ekwurịtara okwu na-atule ihe isi nʼọnwụ bilie pụtara.
11 And they asked him, saying: Why then do the Pharisees and scribes say that Elias must come first?
Ma ha jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị mere ndị ozizi iwu jiri sị na Ịlaịja aghaghị ibu ụzọ bịa?”
12 Who answering, said to them: Elias, when he shall come first, shall restore all things; and as it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things and be despised.
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 say to you, that Elias also is come, (and they have done to him whatsoever they would, ) as it is written of him.
Ka m gwa unu, Ịlaịja abịalarị. Ma ha mesokwara ya mmeso otu ha chọrọ dị ka e dere banyere ya.”
14 And coming to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes disputing 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 And presently all the people seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear; and running to him, they saluted him.
Ngwangwa, mmadụ ahụ niile hụrụ ya, ụdịdị ya juru ha anya. Ha gbaara ọsọ gaa kelee ya.
16 And he asked them: What do you question about among you?
Ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Unu na ha ọ na-arụrịta ụka banyere gịnị?”
17 And one of the multitude, answering, said: Master, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit.
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 Who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth with the teeth, and pineth away; and I spoke to thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.
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 Who answering them, said: O incredulous generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto 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 And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit troubled him; and being thrown down upon the ground, he rolled about foaming.
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 And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath happened unto him? But he said: From his infancy:
Jisọs jụrụ nna nwata ahụ sị, “Olee mgbe ihe a bidoro?” Ọ zara sị, “Site na mgbe ọ bụ nwata nta.
22 And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having compassion on 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 And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Jisọs sịrị ya, “‘Ọ bụrụ na i nwere ike’? Ihe niile pụrụ ime nʼebe onye kwere ekwe nọ.”
24 And immediately the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe, Lord: help my unbelief.
Ngwangwa, nna nwata ahụ tiri mkpu sị, “Ekweere m, biko nyere ekweghị ekwe m aka!”
25 And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out of him; and enter not any more into him.
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 And crying out, and greatly tearing him, he went out of him, and he became as dead, 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 taking him by the hand, lifted him up; and he arose.
Ma Jisọs jidere ya nʼaka selite ya elu, mee ka o guzo nʼụkwụ ya. O guzokwara.
28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him 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 And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
Ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ bụ naanị site nʼike ekpere ka a pụrụ ịchụpụ ụdị a.”
30 And departing from thence, they passed through Galilee, and he would not that any man should know it.
Ha siri nʼebe ahụ pụọ gafee Galili. Ọ chọghị ka onye ọbụla mata maka ya,
31 And he taught his disciple, and said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise again the third day.
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 understood not the word, and they were afraid to ask him.
Ma ha aghọtaghị ihe ọ na-agwa ha. Egwu tụkwara ha ị jụ banyere ya.
33 And they came to Capharnaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them: What did you treat of in 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 held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest.
Ma ha gbara nkịtị, nʼihi na ha rụrịtara ụka nʼokporoụzọ banyere onye dị ukwuu karịa ibe ya.
35 And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them: If any man desire to be first, he shall be the last of all, and the minister 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 And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith to them:
Mgbe ahụ o kuuru otu nwantakịrị mee ka o guzoro nʼetiti ha. O kuuru nwata ahụ nʼaka ya sị ha,
37 Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that 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 answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us, and we forbade him.
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 But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name, and can soon speak ill 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 he that is not against you, is for you.
Nʼihi na onye ọbụla na-adịghị emegide anyị dịnyeere anyị.
41 For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because you belong to Christ: amen I say to you, he shall not 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 And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me; it were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and he were cast 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 And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into 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)
44 Where there worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
ebe “‘ikpuru ya na-adịghị anwụ anwụ, ọkụ ya adịghị anyụkwa anyụ.’
45 And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter lame into life everlasting, than having two feet, to be cast into the hell of unquenchable fire: (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)
46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
ebe “‘ikpuru ya na-adịghị anwụ anwụ, ọkụ ya adịghị anyụkwa anyụ.’
47 And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out. It is better for thee with one eye to enter into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire: (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 the worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
ebe “‘ikpuru ya na-adịghị anwụ anwụ, ọkụ ya adịghị anyụkwa anyụ.’
49 For every one shall be salted with fire: and every victim shall be salted with salt.
A ga-eji ọkụ nụchaa onye ọbụla dị ka nnu.
50 Salt is good. But if the salt became unsavoury; wherewith will you season it? Have salt in you, and have peace among you.
“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.”
