< Mark 2 >

1 [Jesus and his disciples] returned to Capernaum [town]. A few days later, because it was {people} heard that Jesus was in [his] house,
Kimal nayiri båt Yisa wa kpilin Ukafarnahum, na nin molu kubiba ulire ta bú Yisa di nan nya kilark.
2 many people gathered there. As a result, [after the people filled the house], there was no longer space to stand [in the house or outside] around the doorway. Jesus preached [God’s] message to them.
Na nin dandaunu ba, anit pitirino gbardang kite Yisa wa duku Lisosine wa di gbardang kilare kulo. Na kiti liyisin wa duku ba, ko kupo kibilun wang. Yisa belle nani uliru Kutellẹ.
3 Some people came to the house bringing to Jesus a man who was paralyzed. He was carried by four men {Four men carried [him]} [on a sleeping pad].
Among anit nanas da nin nan riu nfunu kitin Yisa nya kilarie. Inung nanase wa yaughe kupe linoni me.
4 They were not able to bring the man to Jesus because there was a crowd there. So they [went up the steps to the flat roof and] removed [some of] the tiles [above] where Jesus was. Then, after they made a [big] hole in the roof, they lowered [by ropes] the sleeping pad on which the paralyzed man lay. They lowered [it through the hole, down in front of Jesus].
Na iwa se uduru nin nite kitin Yisa ba, bara ngbardang ligozi nanit. Itunna ighana fitulleri kutiye ikulu indert kiti liyissin me. Itotino unan riun nfunne ligolong filullerue ubun in Yisa.
5 After Jesus perceived that the men believed [that he could heal this man], he said to the paralyzed man, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
Na Yisa yene uni nibinayi mine, aworo unan riu nfune, “Gononing nkusu alapife.”
6 There were some men who taught [the Jewish] laws sitting there. They started thinking like this:
Among anit anan dursuzu lidu na Yahudawa wa sosin kite. Ichizina upilizu nan nya nibanayi mine.
7 “(Who does this man think he is, talking like that/This man shouldn’t talk like that!) [RHQ]? (He is insulting God!/Does he think he is God?) [RHQ] (No person can forgive sins!/Who can forgive sins?) [RHQ] Only God can forgive sins!”
“Unit ulele din yenju ame ghari? Ule ulire tizogo Kutellẹri nin fo figiri! Kutellẹri cas wasa akusu alapi.''
8 Jesus sensed that they were deliberating like that within themselves. So he said to them, “(You should not question within yourselves [whether I have the right to forgive this man’s sins]!/Why do you question [whether I have the right to forgive this man’s sins]?) [RHQ]
Yisa tunna ayinno imon ile na iwa din kpiluzue nibinayi mine, a woro nani, ''inyaghari nta idin kpiluzu nile imone nibinayi mine?
9 It is [not risky] [RHQ] for someone to tell the man who is paralyzed, ‘Your sins are forgiven {[I] forgive your sins},’ [because no one can prove that it has happened]. But no one would say to him, ‘Get up, pick up your stretcher, and then walk away’, [unless he really had the power to heal him, because people can easily see whether it happens or not].
Uyeme ma katini nin nworo, 'Nkusu alapi fe' sa 'Nworo fita yira imon linoni fe ugya'?
10 So I [will do something] in order that you may know that [God] has authorized me, the one who came from heaven, to forgive sins on earth [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the paralyzed man,
Bara inan yinno Gono Nnit di nin likara in yii a kala alapi, ''abelle unan konu nfunue.
11 “To you I say, ‘Get up! Pick up your sleeping pad! And then go home!’”
Nworo fi, fitå, yauna kupe fe, ukifo libau udu kilari fe.”
12 The man stood up immediately! He picked up the sleeping pad, and then he went away, while all the people [there] were watching. They were all amazed, and they praised God and said, “We have never before seen anything like [what happened] just now!”
A fita deidei a yauna kupewe, anuzu nan nya kilare nbun na nite vat. Na iyene nani vat mine umamaki kifonani isu liru Kutellẹ, iworo, “nworu natidi na tisa yene imus nile imone ba.”
13 Jesus left [Capernaum town again and walked with his disciples] alongside [Galilee] lake. A large crowd came to him. Then he taught them.
Akuru a nuzu udu ubiu kurawa vat ligozin nanite da kiti me, a tunna in dursuzu nani.
14 As he walked on further, he saw a man named Levi, whose other name was Matthew, and whose father’s name was Alpheus. He was sitting in his office where he collected taxes [for the Roman government]. Jesus said to him, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!” So he got up and went with Jesus.
Na awa chinu ukatu ayene Levi ku usaun Alfiyus, na awa sosin kitin sesun gandu aworoghe, “Dofini” A fita a dofinghe.
15 [Later], Jesus was eating a meal in Levi’s house. Many men who collected taxes and [other] people who were [considered to be] sinning regularly were eating with Jesus and his disciples. [This was not surprising], for there were many people like this who were going [everywhere] with Jesus.
Kube na Yisa wa din linimoli nan nya kilarin Levi, anan wewun gandu nan nanan nalapi gbardang wa sosin ligowe nin Yisa a nono katwa me in linimoli, anite na iwa di dortu ghe wa di gbardang.
16 The [men who taught the Jewish] laws [who were there] and who were members of the Pharisee [sect] saw that Jesus was eating with men who collected taxes and [others who were considered] {[whom they considered]} [to be] sinners. So they said to his disciples, “(It is disgusting that he eats with [such disgusting] men as those who collect taxes, and with [other] sinners!/Why is it that he eats with [such disgusting] men as those who collect taxes, and with [other] sinners?)” [RHQ]
Kube na anan niyerte, ale na idi a Farisawa iyene Yisa ku sosin nlinimoli ligowe nan nanan sesun gandu a anan nalapi, iworo, “Iyanghari ta a din li nimonli ligowe nan nanan sesun gandu a anan nalapi?”
17 After Jesus heard [what they were saying], he said to the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, “People who [consider that they] are well do not seek a doctor. On the contrary, it is those who are sick [who seek a doctor] [MET]!” [This he said to indicate that it was those who knew that they had sinned who were coming to him in order that he might help them spiritually]. And he said, “I did not come to invite people [who think that] [IRO] they are righteous [to come to me and turn from their sinful behavior]. On the contrary, I came [from heaven to invite] people who [know that they] are sinners, [in order that they might turn from their sins and come to me].”
Na Yisa lanza nani a woro nani. “Anit ale na idi acine na idin pizuru kabere ba; ale na idi nin tikonari cas di nin sun kabere. Na Nna dak Nda yichila anit alauwa ba, bara anan nalapiri Nna dak.”
18 The disciples of John [the Baptizer] and some men who belonged to the Pharisee [sect] used to abstain from food [to show that they wanted to please God]. One day, some people came [to Jesus] and asked him [critically], “The disciples of John and the Pharisees (fast/abstain from food) [from time to time], but your disciples do not. [We think they should abstain from food also. What do you say about that] [RHQ]?”
Nonon massu katwa Yuhana nin na Farisawa wa din kotu nayi. Idå ida woroghe, bara iyanghari ntå nonon massu katwa in Yuhana nin nonon massu katwa na Farisawe dinsu ukotu nayi, na ninfi nono katwe nsue ba?”
19 [Jesus wanted them to understand that it was not appropriate for his disciples to show sorrow by abstaining from food while he was still with them]. So he said to them, “When a man is marrying a woman, his friends will certainly not abstain from food while he is still with them, will they [RHQ]? No. During the time that he is with them, they will not abstain from food [because they are happy together].
Yisa woro ani, ''Anwapardu wasa isu ukotu nayi a kwanyana tiyome dutu ku ligowe nan ghinue? Kwanyana tiyome nwa dutu ku nan ghinu na iwasa isu ukotu nayi ba.
20 But some day, he will be taken away {his [enemies] will take him away} from them. Then, in those days, they will abstain from food, [because they will be sad].”
Ayiri ba dak na iba da yiru kwanyana tiyome kiyitek nayiri anere iba nin zu ukotu nayi.
21 [Jesus wanted to show that those who desire to live in accordance with his new message should not try to continue to obey the old religious traditions like fasting. So he also said to them], “People do not sew a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment [in order to mend a hole]. If they did that, [when they washed the garment, the patch would shrink] and the new [piece of cloth] would tear off more of the old cloth. As a result, the hole would become bigger!
Na unit wasa a vå kupari kupese kitene kulutuk kukuse ba, kupese ba ti kukuse jarta jazi jazi.
22 [Similarly], people do not put newly [squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If they did that, that juice will burst the skin bags [because they would not stretch when the wine ferments and expands]. As a result both the wine and the skin bags would be ruined! On the contrary, people must put new wine into new skin bags!” [MET]
Na umong wasa ata nmyen narau mipese lissu kuse ba, awa su nani lissuwe ba tutu nmyen narauwe malu kiti nin lissuwe vat. Bara nani, ta nmyen narau mipese nan nya lissu lipese.''
23 On one (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) Jesus was walking through some grain fields with his disciples. As they were walking along [through the grain fields], the disciples were plucking some of the heads of grain. [They rubbed them in their hands to remove the chaff, and were eating the grain. The laws of Moses permitted people to do that if they were hungry].
Liri Nasabbath Yisa pira nan nya kunen nilarum, nonon massu katwa me tunna ncin pucu nati nilarume icin leo.
24 [Some of] the Pharisees [saw them doing what they considered to be work. So they] said to him, “Look! (They should not be doing on our (Sabbath day/day of rest) [work] that our laws forbid!/Why are they doing on our (Sabbath day/day of rest) [work] that our laws forbid?) [RHQ]”
A Farisawa woroghe, '' Yene, inyagharin ta idin su imon ile na icau isu liri Nasabbath ba?''
25 [Jesus wanted to show them that the record in the Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food]. So he said to them, “[It is written in the Scriptures] what [our revered ancestor, King] David, did when he needed food, and both he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, but ([you do not think about what it implies./why do you not think about what it implies]?) [RHQ]
A woro nani, ''Na anung na gbin nan nya niyerte ba, imon ile na Dauda nin nanit me wasu na kukpon wa nani ba?
26 During the time Abiathar was high priest, David entered the big tent [where people worshipped] God [and asked for some bread. The high priest gave him some] of the loaves of bread. That bread was the bread he had presented to God. It was permitted in one of Moses’ laws that only the priests could eat that bread! But David ate some of it. Then he also gave some of it to the men who were with him. [But God did not consider that was wrong!]”
Na awa piru nan nya kilari Kutellẹ kubi kongo na Abiyatha wadi UPriest udya, aleo ufungal ulau ule na uduka nworo na umong wasa aleo se a Priest cas; akuru ana ale na iwadi ligowe nin ghe?''
27 Jesus said to them further, “[God] established (the day of rest/the Sabbath day) [to help] people! He did not create people to [obey rules about] (the Sabbath/the day of rest)!
Yisa woro, ''Iwake Asabbath bara unitari, a na unit bara Asabbath ba.''
28 And [think about this]: I am the one who came from heaven. So I have the authority [to determine what is right for my disciples to do] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day)!”
Bara Gonon Nit Chikilarairi wang un na Sabbath.
