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,
Gutha galasafe guye “Yesusay guye Qifirnahome simidi soon dees” giza wore asay siyidees.
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.
Hessa gish kethara karera utizasoy dhayana gakanas daro derey shiqidees. Izikka Xoossa qaala asas sabakidees.
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].
Oydu ass dayti issi toy silida ass tokidi izakko ehida.
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].
Assa darotethafe dendidaysan Yesusay dizaso gathanas danda7onta gish Yesusay diza ginara kaara lukidi harganchaza izi zin7ida zaphara Yesusa sinth duge wothida.
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!”
Yesusay asata amano beydi toy silida adeza “hayso ne nagaray maretidees” gides.
6 There were some men who taught [the Jewish] laws sitting there. They started thinking like this:
Hen gadan utida issi issi Musse woga Xahaaththaeti ba wozinara haysi addezi wosti hayssatho gizee? Xoossa bolla casha qaala hasa7eskko! issi Xoossafe atin nagara marana danda7izay onne gidi qopida.
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!”
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]
Yesusay herakka isti ba wozinan qopidaysa ba ayanan eridi “inte wositi hayssatho qoppetii?
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].
Toy silidadeza ne nagaray maretidees gusafenne dendada ne zapha tokkada ba gusafe aways kawushee?
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,
Gido atin asa nass bitta bollan agara marana godatethi dizaysa inte erana mala” gidi to silla addeza
11 “To you I say, ‘Get up! Pick up your sleeping pad! And then go home!’”
“dendada ne tokkista yida zaphe tokkada ne soo ba” gidees.
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!”
Izikka dendidi asay wuri beyshin zapha tokidi bidees. Hen gadan diza asay wurii hanozan malaletidi “Haysa malay hanini beybekko” gidi Xooss galatidees.
13 Jesus left [Capernaum town again and walked with his disciples] alongside [Galilee] lake. A large crowd came to him. Then he taught them.
Qasekka Yesusay Galila abba lanqe yides. Daro dereykka izakko yin izikka yida asa tamarsides.
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.
Izi oogera adhi bishin Elifiyosa na Leewy qaraxa shishizason utidaysa beydine “haya tana kaalla” gidees, izkka dendidi Yesusa kalidees.
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.
Hesafe guye leewe son kaththa madan uti dishin qaraxa shishiza daro asatinne nagaranchati izara kali yida gish issti Yesusaranne iza kalizaytara issife kaththa madan utida.
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]
Parsawista bagafe gidida Musse woga tamarsizayti Yesusay nagaranchataranne qaraxa shishizaytara mishin beydi iza kalizayta “Qaraxxa shishizaytaranne nagaranchatara aazas mizee?” giidi oychida.
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].”
Yesusaykka isti gizaysa siyidi “Akimmey harganchatas koshes atin hargontaytas gidena. Takka nagaranchata xeyganas yadis attin xillota xeyganas yabeykke gides.
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]?”
Yanisa kalizatinne Parsaweti xomma xommetes. Issi issi asati Yesusakko yidi Yanisa kalizaytinne Parsawista kalizayti xommetees. Nena kalizayti azass xommetene gi oychida.
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].
Yesusaykka istas mishiray istara dishin mishira lageti xommi erizo? Mishiray istara dishin xommi eretena.
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].”
Mishiray isstappe ekistana wodey yana he wode issti xommana.
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!
Gal7a mayo bolla oratha curqa wothi sikizadey onnikka deenna, hessaththo othikko orathazi gal7a dakki dakki yeges; dakethaykka kassefe gede adhi ites.
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]
Hessathokka oratha woyne caje gal7a ogoron wothizadey denna. Wothiza gidikko woynne cajezi gal7a ogoroza dhuses, woynne cajezine ogorazi namm7ay moretetes. Hessa gish oratha woynne cajey danas besizay oratha oogorana” gidees.
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].
Yesusay Ayhudata sanbata galas gistte tiya gidora adhishin iza kalizayti izara issippe bishe tiya xupho oykkida.
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]”
Parsaweti “Nena kalizayti sanbata galas digetida miish aazas othizo? gidi Yesusa oychida.
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]
Izikka istas “Dawitey gafidi mizaz koyda wode izara issippe dizaytara izi othidaysa nababibeyketii? gidees.
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!]”
Abiyatarey qessista halaqatethan dishin izi Xoossa keth gelidi qeseti xalala manas besiza dumma kaththa bess midine benara dizaytas immidees.
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)!
Qassekka sambaytas asas medhetidees atin assi sanbatas medhetibeyna.
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)!”
Hessa gish ta asa nay sambata goda. gides.
