Mark 9
1 And He said to them, “I tell you assuredly: there are some standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God present 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 Peter, James and John and led them up on a high mountain alone by themselves. Then He was transfigured in front of 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 clothing became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth is able to whiten.
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 appeared to them, along with Moses, and they were conversing with Jesus.
Ha hụrụ Ịlaịja na Mosis ka ha pụtara soro Jisọs na-ekwu okwu.
5 Well Peter reacted by saying to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make 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 (Because they were terrified, he didn't know what to say.)
(Ọ makwaghị ihe ọ ga-ekwu nʼihi na oke egwu tụrụ ha.)
7 With that a cloud was covering them and a Voice came out of the cloud: “This is my Son, the beloved. 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 And then, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.
Na mberede, mgbe ha lere anya gburugburu, ọ dịkwaghị onye ọzọ ha hụrụ, karịa naanị Jisọs.
9 Now as they were coming down from the mountain, He ordered them not to recount to any one the things they had seen until the Son of the 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 word to themselves, questioning what the ‘rising from the dead’ meant.
Ha zobere ihe a nʼetiti onwe ha, na-ekwurịtara okwu na-atule ihe isi nʼọnwụ bilie pụtara.
11 And they asked Him, saying, “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 So in answer He said to them: “Elijah indeed does come first, and restores all things; also how it is written concerning the Son of the Man that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt.
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 Still, I say to you that ‘Elijah’ has also come, and they did to him as they wished, 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 Upon coming to the disciples, He 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 Well as soon as the crowd saw Him they were excited and ran to greet Him.
Ngwangwa, mmadụ ahụ niile hụrụ ya, ụdịdị ya juru ha anya. Ha gbaara ọsọ gaa kelee ya.
16 He asked the scribes, “What are you discussing with them?”
Ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Unu na ha ọ na-arụrịta ụka banyere gịnị?”
17 In answer a man in the crowd said: “Teacher, I brought you my son, who has a mute 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 And wherever it seizes him it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth and gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. Indeed, I spoke to your disciples, that they might cast it out, but 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 But He answered him by saying: “O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you, how long shall I put up with you? Bring him 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 to Him. Upon seeing Him the spirit convulsed him, and falling to the ground he started wallowing, 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 Then He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said: “From childhood.
Jisọs jụrụ nna nwata ahụ sị, “Olee mgbe ihe a bidoro?” Ọ zara sị, “Site na mgbe ọ bụ nwata nta.
22 Really, it has often thrown him both into fire and into water to destroy 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 Jesus said to him, “It's ‘if you can believe’; all things are possible to the one who believes.”
Jisọs sịrị ya, “‘Ọ bụrụ na i nwere ike’? Ihe niile pụrụ ime nʼebe onye kwere ekwe nọ.”
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”
Ngwangwa, nna nwata ahụ tiri mkpu sị, “Ekweere m, biko nyere ekweghị ekwe m aka!”
25 When Jesus saw that the crowd was running up, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I am commanding you, get out of him 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 Then it yelled, convulsed him violently, and came out. Well he looked to be dead; so much so that many said, “He's 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 lifted him up, and he stayed on his feet.
Ma Jisọs jidere ya nʼaka selite ya elu, mee ka o guzo nʼụkwụ ya. O guzokwara.
28 Well upon His entering a house His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn't we cast 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 He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing except prayer and fasting.”
Ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ bụ naanị site nʼike ekpere ka a pụrụ ịchụpụ ụdị a.”
30 Having gone out from there they were passing through Galilee, and He 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 and saying to them, “The Son of the Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and once killed he will rise on 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 were not understanding this information, yet were afraid to ask Him.
Ma ha aghọtaghị ihe ọ na-agwa ha. Egwu tụkwara ha ị jụ banyere ya.
33 Then He came to Capernaum; and once in the house He asked them, “What were you debating among yourselves on the road?”
Emesịa, ha bịaruru Kapanọm. Mgbe ọ banyere nʼụlọ, ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Gịnị ka unu na-arụrịta ụka banyere ya nʼokporoụzọ?”
34 But they kept silent, because on the road they had debated among themselves who was greater.
Ma ha gbara nkịtị, nʼihi na ha rụrịtara ụka nʼokporoụzọ banyere onye dị ukwuu karịa ibe ya.
35 So He sat down, called the twelve and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he must be last of all and 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 took a child and stood him in their midst, and embracing him 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 receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives 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 So John answered Him saying, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, one who doesn't follow us; and we forbade him, because he doesn't follow 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 But Jesus said: “Do not forbid him, because no one who works a miracle in my name can soon afterward 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 he who is not against you is for you.
Nʼihi na onye ọbụla na-adịghị emegide anyị dịnyeere anyị.
41 Further, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you are Christ's, I tell you with certainty, he will by no means 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 “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe into me to fall, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were 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 Further, if your hand is causing you to fall, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into the Life maimed than having both hands to go away into Gehenna, 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)
44 where ‘their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
ebe “‘ikpuru ya na-adịghị anwụ anwụ, ọkụ ya adịghị anyụkwa anyụ.’
45 And if your foot is causing you to fall, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into the Life lame than having both feet to be thrown into Gehenna, into the 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 does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
ebe “‘ikpuru ya na-adịghị anwụ anwụ, ọkụ ya adịghị anyụkwa anyụ.’
47 And if your eye is causing you to fall, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye than having both eyes to be thrown into the Gehenna 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 does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
ebe “‘ikpuru ya na-adịghị anwụ anwụ, ọkụ ya adịghị anyụkwa anyụ.’
49 “Further, everyone will be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
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 in 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.”
