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,
Bho akerebhiuki kaperinaumu baada jha magono madebe jhapelekiki kujha ajhele kunyumba.
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.
Bhanu bhingi sana bhajhele bhakibhongeniye pala na jhajhelepi nafasi kabhele, jhela jhe pala pa ndiangu, ni Yesu ajobhili lilobhi kwa bhene.
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].
Kisha baadhi jha bhangu bhahidili kwa muene bhandetili munu jha apozili; Bhanu bhancheche bha mp'endili.
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].
Bhwakati bhashindilu kunkaribila kwa ndabha jha bhumati bhwa bhanu, bhabhosili paa panani pa mahali pa ajhele. Na bhobhamalili kutobola lil'ende, bhaselisi kitanda ambakyo munu jha apozili agonili.
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!”
Bhoajhibhwene imani jha bhene Yesu akan'jobhela munu jha apozili, “mwanabhangu, dhambi sya jhobhilimalikusamehebhwa.”
6 There were some men who taught [the Jewish] laws sitting there. They started thinking like this:
Lakini baadhi jha bhaandishi bhala bha bhatamili pala bhakinong'uinu mu mioyo jha bhene,
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!”
“Ibhwesyabhuli munu ojho kujobha naha? Ikufuru! Nani jhaibhwesya kusamehe dhambi isipokujha K'yara muene?”
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]
Mara Yesu amanyili mu roho jha muene kyabhafikirileghe mu mioyo jha bhene. Kwandabha jha kiki mwifikirira aghu mu mioyo jha muenga?
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].
Lelekhu lyepusi zaidi kujobha kwa munu jha apozili, 'Dhambi sya jhobhi sisamehibhu' au kujobha 'Jhemajhi, tolajhi kitanda kyajhobhi na ugendajhi?'
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,
Lakini ili bhabhwesiajhi kumanya mwana ghwa Adamu ajhele ni mamlaka gha kusamehe dhambi paduniani, an'jobhili jhola j'ha apozili,
11 “To you I say, ‘Get up! Pick up your sleeping pad! And then go home!’”
“Nikujobhela bhebhe, jhemayi, tolayi nkeka ghwa jhobhi, na ulajhi kunyumba kwa jhobhi.”
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!”
Akajhema ni mara jhejhuejhu akatola nkeka ghwa muene, na akalota kwibhala ku nyumba palongolo pa kila munu, Efyo bhanu bhoha bhashangele na bhampelili K'yara bhutukufu, na bhakajobha “kamwe tubhwajhilepi kubhona lijambo kama e'le.”
13 Jesus left [Capernaum town again and walked with his disciples] alongside [Galilee] lake. A large crowd came to him. Then he taught them.
Akalota kabhele kando jha nyanja, ni bhumati bhuoha bhwa bhanu bhakahida kwa muene, na akabhamanyisya.
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.
Bho ib'eta akambona Lawi mwana ghwa Alfayo atamili pa sehemu jha kubhonganila kodi na akan'jobhela, “Nikisiayi.” Akajhema ni kun'kesiya.
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.
Ni bhwakati Yesu ilya kyakulya munyumba jha Lawi, bhabhonganiya kodi bhingi ni bhanu bhabhajhele ni dhambi bhajhele bhilya ni Yesu ni bhanafunzi bha muene, kwandabha bhajhele bhingi ni bhene bhakan'kesiya.
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]
Bhwakati bhaandishi, ambabho bhajhele Mafarisayo, bho bhabhuene Yesu elya ni bhanu bhenye dhambi ni bhabhonganiya kodi, akabhajobhela bhanafunzi bha muene, “Kwa ndabha j'hakiki ilya ni bhakusanya kodi ni bhanu bhabhaj'hele ni dhambi?”
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].”
Bhwakati Yesu ap'heliki aghu akabhajobhela,” Bhanu bhabhajhele ni afya mu mb'ele bhikandonda lepi tabibu; ni bhanu bhatamu tu ndo bhakandonda. Nahidi lepi kubhakuta bhanu bhabhajhele ni haki, lakini bhanu bhenye dhambi.”
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]?”
Bhanafunzi bha Yohana ni Mafarisayo bhajhele bhifuanana. Ni baadhi j'ha bhanu bhakahida kwa muene ni kun'jobhela, “Kwa j'ha kiki bhanafunzi bha Yohana ni Mafarisayo bhifunga, lakini bhanafunzi bha jhobhi bhifunga lepi?
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].
Yesu akabhajobhela, “Je bhabhayele hudhuriri ku harusi bhibhuesya kufunga bhwakati bhwa harusi back ajhele pamonga nabhu? Kwa fyofyoha fela bwana harusi akajhiayi bado ajhele pamonga nabhu bhibhwesya lepi kufunga.”
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].”
Lakini magono ghibetakuhida bhwakati bwana harusi paibetakubhosibhwa kwa bhene, ni khila ligono elu bhene bhibeta kufunga.
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!
Ajhelepi munu jha ihona kipandi kipya Kya nghobho mu liguanda lilala, na kubetakujha mpasuko bhubhibhi.
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]
Ajhelepi munu jha isopa divai mpya mu firiba fya fichakele, Kama ndo naha divai ibetakujobha fimba ni fyoha fibhele divai ni firiba tubetakufuana. Badala j'hiake, bhakajhe divai mpya mu firiba fipya.”
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].
Mu ligono lya sabato Yesu akap'eta mu baadhi jha mig'onda ni bhanafunzi bha muene bhakajhanda kutola baadhi jha masuka gha ngano.
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]”
Ni Mafarisayo bhakan'jobhela, “Langai, kwa ndabha ya kiki bhibhomba khenu kinyume ni sheria mu ligono lya Sabato?”
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]
Akabhajobhela, “Mwasomilepi khela kya akibhombili Daudi bho ajhele mu bhuhitaji ni njala —muene pamonga ni bhanu bhabhaj'hele pamonga nabhu?
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!]”
Jinsi kyaalotili mu nyumba j'ha K'yara bhwakati Abiathari aj'he kuhani mbaha na akalya nkate ghwa ghubhakibhu palongolo — ambao j'ha jhele kinyume kya sheria kwa munu jhejhioha jhola kulya isipokujha makuhani na abhapelili hata baadhi jha bhala bhabhajhe pamonga nakhu?”
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)!
Yesu akajobha, “Sabato jhabhombiki kwa ndabha j'ha mwanadamu, siyo mwanadamu kwa ndabha jha Sabato.
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)!”
Henu, Mwana ghwa Adamu ndo Bwana, hata kwa Sabato.”
