Mark 10
1 Jesus left (that place/Capernaum) [with his disciples], and they went through Judea district and on across [to the east side of] the Jordan [River]. When crowds gathered around him again, he taught them again, as he customarily did.
Jesu den ñani li kani ki gedi Jude tinga nni Judena kandima, ku niligu go den taani ke o cili ki bangi ba nani wan den maani ki tiendi maama.
2 [While he was teaching them, some] Pharisees approached him and asked him, “Does [our Jewish] law permit a man to divorce his wife?” They asked that in order to be able to criticize him [whether he answered “yes” or “no”].
Falisieninba den cua o kani ki bua ki biigi o ki buali o: naani li pia u sanu o joa n ñani o pua?
3 He answered them, “What did Moses command your [ancestors about a man divorcing his wife]?”
Jesu den yedi ba musa den diani yipo be yo?
4 [One of] them replied, “Moses permitted that a man may write on paper [his reason] for divorcing [his wife], [give this paper to her], and then send her away.”
Bi den goa ki yedi o: Musa den puni u sanu tin diani li tili ki ñani o pua.
5 Jesus said to them, “It was because your [ancestors] stubbornly wanted just what they desired that Moses wrote that law for [your ancestors], and you [are just like them]!
Jesu den yedi ba li tie kelima yi pajuaga po yo ke Musa den puni u sunu yin diani li tili ki ñani o pua,
6 [Remember] that he [also wrote that, when God] first created [people], he made [one] man, and [one] woman [to become that man’s wife].
ama ŋali ŋanduna tagima yogunu U Tienu den tagi o joa leni o pua.
7 That explains why [God said], ‘When a man [and] woman marry, they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers [after they marry].
Li tie lani yaapo yo ke o joa baa ña o ba leni o na kani ki loli o yuli leni o pua,
8 Instead, the two of them shall [live together, and they shall] become so [closely united] [MET] [that they are like] one person.’ Therefore, although the people [who marry] were two [separate persons] before, [God regards them] as one person now, [so he wants them to remain married].
ban tua gbannanyendi kaa go tie niba lie bi ji tie niyendo.
9 Because that is true, a man must not separate from his [wife] whom God has joined [to him, because God’s plan is for them to remain together]!”
Niloba kuli n da paadi U Tienu n taani yaala.
10 When Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, they asked him again about this.
Ban den ye denpo o ŋoadikaaba go den buali o laa bualu,
11 He said to them, “[God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, so he considers] that any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, [even] if he divorces his first wife.
Jesu den yedi ba ya joa n ñani o pua ki ta potoa kuli conbi ki tudi wan den kpa pia yaa pua po.
12 [God also considers] a woman who divorces her first husband to be committing adultery if she marries another man.”
Ya pua n ñani o calo kani ki kuni jatoa mo kuli kuli conbi.
13 [One day], some people were bringing children to Jesus in order that he would touch [and bless] them. But the disciples scolded those people [because they thought that Jesus] ([did not want to be bothered spending time with/was not concerned about]) [children].
Bi den cuani a biwaala Jesu kani ke wan si ba, ama o ŋoadikaaba den funi leni yaaba n cuani ba.
14 When Jesus saw that, he became angry. He said to the [disciples], “Allow the children to come to me! Do not forbid them [DOU]! It is people who [are humble and trust as they do] who can experience (God’s rule [in their lives]/God taking care of them) [MET].
Jesu den la laa lani o pali den biidi o den yedi ba: cedi mani a biwaala ncua n kani ki da yie bipo. Kelima U Tienu diema ye yaaba n naani leni a biwaala yaapo yo.
15 Note this: Those who do not [trustingly] allow God to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the place where God rules.”
N yedi yi i moamoani yua n kaa tuo U Tienu diema nani ki biwaaga yeni kan kua mi niinni
16 Then he embraced the children. He also put his hands on them [and asked God to] bless them.
li yaa puoli o den kpabi ba ki maani o nii bipo ki seligi ba.
17 As Jesus was starting to travel [again with his disciples], a [young] man ran up to him. He knelt before Jesus and then he asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to have eternal life/in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
Jesu n den cuoni yeni o joa den sani ki cua ki gbaani o nuntuali ki buali o: a canbaanŋamo n baa tieni be yo ki ba ya miali n kan gbeni? (aiōnios g166)
18 Jesus said to him, “(You should consider carefully [what you are implying] (OR, [that you are implying that I am God]) [by] calling me good, because only God is good!/Do you realize [what you are implying] (OR, [that you are implying that I am God]) [by] calling me good, because only God is good?) [RHQ] No other person is good
Jesu den yedi o be yo ke a yini nni yua n ŋani? U Tienu bebe n ŋani.
19 [But to answer your question], you know the commandments [of Moses, which will cause you to live eternally if you obey them perfectly]. He commanded [things such as] ‘do not murder anyone, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not (testify falsely/lie), do not cheat anyone, and honor your father and mother’.”
A bani li balimaama: ŋa da conbi, ŋan da kpa o nilo, ŋan da su, ŋan da tieni mi seedifaama, ŋan da janbi oba, ŋan jigini a ba leni ana.
20 The man said to him, “Teacher, I have obeyed all those commandments ever since I was young. [So is] ([that enough/there something else that I have not done])?”
O den goa ki yedi: canba n kubi lanwani ŋali n biwaama nni.
21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. He said to him, “There is one thing that you have not [yet done]. You must go [home], sell all that you possess, and then give [the money] to poor people. [As a result], you will be spiritually rich in heaven. After [you have done what I have told you], come with me [and be my disciple]!”
Jesu den diidi o leni mi buama ki yedi o: bonyenla n poadi apo, gedi ki ban kuadi ŋan pia yaala ki pa a luoda yeni a baa ba ŋalimani tanpoli po li yaa puoli ŋan cua ki ŋoadi nni.
22 The man became disappointed when he heard that. He went away sad, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give away everything].
Ama laa maama den biidi o pali ke o tagini ki ban ca leni li pabiidili kelima o piama den yaba.
23 Jesus looked around [at the people]. Then he exclaimed to his disciples, “It is very difficult for people who are wealthy to [decide to] let God rule their lives!”
Jesu den diidi yaaba n lindi o ki yedi o ŋoadikaaba: li baa pa leni yaaba n tie a piada n kua U Tienu diema nni.
24 The disciples were surprised at what he said. [They thought that God favored the rich people, so if God did not save them, he would not save anyone]. So Jesus replied again to them, “My dear friends, it is very difficult for anyone [to decide] to let God rule his life.
Jesu n den yedi yeni li den paki o ŋoadikaaba. O go den goa ki yedi ba n bila, li ba yaa pa leni yaaba n puni bi yula bi piama n kua U Tienu diema.
25 It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is almost as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
Ku yuoyuogu n kua mi kpalipienbonma nni dingi ki cie o piado n kua U Tienu diema nni.
26 The disciples were very astonished. So they said to each other, “If that is so, (it will be unlikely that anyone will be saved {that God will save anyone}!/will [God] save anyone?) [RHQ]”
Li go den paki bi ŋoadikaaba ke bi yedi bi yaba: li yaa tie yeni ŋme n baa faaba?
27 Jesus looked at them and then he said, “[Yes], it is impossible for people [to save themselves]! But God certainly can [save them], because God can do anything!”
Jesu den diidi ba ki yedi li pa bi niba yaapo yo, ama laa pa U Tienu po kelima li bonla kuli dingi U Tienu po.
28 Peter exclaimed, “[You know that] we have left behind everything and we have become your disciples. [So], ([what about us/will God (accept us/reward us)])?”
Pieli den yedi o ti ŋa li bonla kuli ki ŋoadi a.
29 Jesus replied, “I want you to know this: Those who have left [their] houses, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, [their] father, [their] mother, [their] children, or [their] plots of ground, to [be] my [disciples] and to [proclaim] the good news,
Jesu den goa ki yedi: n yedi i moamoani laa pia yua n baa ŋa o diegu, o nataanjaba, o nataanpola, bi o na, bi o ba, bi o bila, bi o tinmu kelima mini yaapo leni o laabaaliŋamo po
30 will receive in this life 100 times as much [as they left behind. That will include houses and people as dear as] brothers and sisters and mothers and children, and plots of ground. Furthermore, although people will persecute them [here on earth because they believe in me], in the future age [they] will ([have] eternal life/live [with God] eternally). (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
31 But I [warn you all]: Many of you who [now consider yourselves] to be very important will be unimportant [at that future time], and many of you who [now consider yourselves] to be unimportant will be very important [at that future time]!”
Liiga yaaba boncianla ba ti tua puoli yaaba, puoli yaaba boncianla mo ba ti tua liiga yaaba.
32 [Some days later as they continued to travel], Jesus and his disciples were walking on the road that leads up to Jerusalem [city]. Jesus was walking ahead of them. [The disciples/apostles] were astonished [that he was going to where there were many people who opposed him], and the other people who were with them were afraid [about what would happen to him in Jerusalem. Along the way he took the twelve disciples to a place by themselves]. Then he began to tell them again about what was going to happen to him, saying,
Ban den ye u sanu nni ki do ki ca jelusalema Jesu den ga bi liiga ki cuona o ŋoadikaaba yama den yagi ke bi ŋoa o leni ti jawaandi Jesu go den piadi leni bi piiga niliediba, ki cila ki wangi ba yaala baa cua o kani.
33 “Listen carefully! We are going up to Jerusalem. There the chief priests and the men who teach the Jewish laws will be enabled {someone will help the chief priests and those who teach our [Jewish] laws} to seize me. Then they will declare that I must die, [even though] I am the one who came from heaven. Then they will take me to the Roman [authorities].
Diidi mani ti do ki caa Jelusalema, bi ba cuo o joa bijua ki teni bi kopadicianba leni li bali mmaama bangikaaba nu nni bi baa jia o buudi ki bili ban kpa o, ki teni o bi nilanba nu nni,
34 Those men will ridicule me. They will spit on me. They will (scourge me/whip me with a leaded whip.) Then they will kill me. But on the third day after that, I will become alive again!”
yaaba n baa ñuadi o, ki sii opo ti ñinsandi, ki gbiami, ki kpa o; ama tana yaa pendi o baa goa ki fi bi tinkpiba siiga.
35 [Along the way], James and John, [who were] the two sons of Zebedee, approached Jesus and they said to him, “Teacher, please do for us what we will ask you to do!”
Sebede bijaba Jaka leni Jan den nagini Jesu kani ki yedi o: canbaa, ti bua ŋan tieni tipo tin ba mia ŋa yaala.
36 He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
O den yedi ba: “Yi bua min tieni yipo be yo?”
37 They said to him, “When you [rule] gloriously, [let us rule with you]. Let one of us [sit] at your right side and one sit at your left side.”
Bi den yedi o a ya ti ban ye a kpiagidi nni yaa yogunu, ŋan pa ti tin kali yendo a jienu, yendo mo a ganu.
38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not understand what you are asking for.” Then he asked them, “Can you endure suffering [MTY] like I am about to suffer? Can you endure being killed [MTY] as I will be killed {people killing you as they will kill me}?”
Jesu den goa ki yedi ba yii bani yin miadi yaala. Yi baa fidi ki ño min ba ño yaa tadiñokaaga, bi ki batise min batise ya batisima?
39 They said to him, “[Yes], we are able [to do that]!” Then Jesus said to them, “[It is true that] you will endure suffering [MTY] like I will suffer, and you will endure being killed as I will be killed {people killing you as they will kill me}.
Bi den yedi o: ti baa fidi. Jesu den goa ki yedi ba: li tie moamoani ke yi baa ño min ba ño ya tadiñokaaga ke yi ba batise min ba batise yaa batisima.
40 But I am not the one who chooses the ones who will sit next to me [and rule with me. God will give] those places to the ones he appoints.”
Ama ki kaani o nilo n jienu bi n ganu, laa ŋua mini, li tie U Tienu n bogini ki bili la yaaba yaa po yo.
41 The [other] ten [disciples later] heard about what James and John [had requested]. As a result, they were angry with them [because they also wanted to rule with Jesus in the highest positions].
ŋoadikaaba piiga yaaba n sieni n den gbadi lani, bi pala den beni Jaka leni Jan po.
42 Then, after Jesus called them all together, he said to them, “You know that those who rule the non-Jews [enjoy] showing that they are powerful. You also know that officials enjoy commanding others.
Jesu den yini ba ki yedi: Yi bani ke ban nua yaaba ke bi tie i nibuoli yudanba yeni mabindi ba, bi paatieba mo die ba leni u paalu.
43 But do not be like them! On the contrary, all those among you who want [God to consider them] great must become [like] servants to [the rest of] you.
Ama lan da tie yeni yinba yaa siiga, yinba laa siiga yua n bua ki tua niciamo kuli, wan tua yi naacemo.
44 Furthermore, if anyone among you wants [God to consider him] to be the most important, he must [act like] a servant for the rest of you.
Yua mo n bua ki tua yi liiga yua, wan tua yi kuli yonbo.
45 [You should imitate me]. Even though I am the one who has come from heaven, I did not come to be served {for others to serve me}. On the contrary, I came in order to serve others and to allow others to kill me, in order that my dying for people would be like a payment to rescue [many people from being punished] {[God punishing them]} [for their sins].”
Kelima o joa bijua naa cua ke ban yaa tuuni opo ka, ama ke wan yaa tuuni nitoaba po, ki go pa o miali ki kpe, ki da ki faabi bi niba boncianla.
46 [On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus and the disciples came to Jericho town]. Afterwards, while they were leaving Jericho along with a great crowd, a blind man who habitually begged [for money] was sitting beside the road. His name was Bartimaeus and his father’s name was Timaeus.
Jesu leni o ŋoadikaaba den pundi Jeliko dogu nni. Ban den ña laa dogu nni bi den yegi leni yaa niligu n yaba, ke o juanmiado, Time bijua yua n yi Batime den u sanu nni.
47 When he heard people say that Jesus from Nazareth [was passing by], he shouted, “Jesus! [You who are the Messiah] descended from [King] David, (be merciful to/help) me!”
Wan den gbadi ke yua n ba pendi tie Nasaleti yua Jesu, o den tangi: Jesu, Dafidi bijua, gbadi npo mi niŋima.
48 Many people rebuked him and told him that he should be quiet. But he shouted even more, “[You who are the Messiah] descended from [King David], (be merciful to/help) me!”
Yaa niba n yaba den funi leni o ki yedi wan suo, ama o go den tangi boncianla ki pugidi ki tua: Dafidi bijua, gbadi npo mi niŋima.
49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him [to come over here]!” They summoned the blind man, saying, “Jesus is calling you! So cheer up and get up [and come]!”
Jesu den sedi ki yedi: yini mani o na. bi den yini o juamo ki yedi o: paagi a pali, fii, o yi ŋa.
50 He threw aside his cloak as he jumped up, and he came to Jesus.
O juamo yeni den luni o kpalibu ki fii yenma ki cua Jesu kani.
51 Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Sir, I [want to be able] to see again!”
Jesu den buali o: a bua min tieni a po be? O juamo den goa yedi o: canba, n bua ŋan pa nni n nuni n nuadi.
52 Jesus said to him, “[I am] healing you [because] you believed [in me]. So you may go [home]!” He could see immediately. And he went with Jesus along the road.
Jesu den yedi o: Gedi, a dandanli paagi a. Lanyogunu o nuni ji den nua, ke o ŋua Jesu ki yegi leni o.
