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,
Ahabhuya Kaperinaumu husiku indolwene ihuvhewa hujeinsiku nyishe lwene alihukhaya.
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.
Abhantu wabhinji sana waliwha bhunghine pala ha gahali shinafani mwakwe atieleile ya pala mu ndwango, nu Yesu ahayanga izwo wa 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].
Abhantu bhashe bhahinza wa mwene bhahata umuntu uwa polile; abhantu bhantenine.
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].
Lelo pahakunwa hufishile alengane yau winji wantu bhahefwa bhasanyangulanya humwanya yinyuma pipo awantu walivhinji. Wakununwaga palitubhulailina bahiswa ishitandashila bhanyemulile umtu wa polile ali agonile.
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!”
Halola umwoyo gwa mbanago, Yesu alibhule mutu ulayapolile, “mwanawani, ibhimbi zwaho zihombashilwe.”
6 There were some men who taught [the Jewish] laws sitting there. They started thinking like this:
Lelo bhamo abhasimbi bhala khale bhawitosa humoyo gawo,
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!”
“Bhahayanga moyo gao awezizye bhule ayanje eshi? Aliligaa! Bhaga umuntu huje awa uweefe idhambi isipokuwa Ungulubhi mwene mwene yawezya?”
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]
U Yesu awimenye amwo gwakwe izyabhasibhaga kati yabho. Abhabhula bhebho, “Lelo yenu mushebhabhisho moyo nginyu?
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].
Lwenu iphuphusho sana aayanje wa muntu uwapolile, 'Aje imbibhi zyaho usajilwe' ama ayanje' Imelila, ega ishigonelo nishitala shaho, ujenda jee?'
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,
Lelo ili bhapate amanye aje Mwana wa Muntu ani uwamuzi uwa huhoshele umuntu imbibhizyaho zihoshilwe ahabhulau uwahobhushile uwapolile,
11 “To you I say, ‘Get up! Pick up your sleeping pad! And then go home!’”
“Ibhula awe, bhuha, ega ishigonelo shaho, ubhalaje huliwe.”
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!”
Ahemenlila phepo naweje ishigonelo shakwe, ahanje nda munyumba yashala muntu, esho bhundhi bhaswinga nahusalifwe Ungulubhi usisya, bhayanga “Shikulu, satulole inongwa na shiine.”
13 Jesus left [Capernaum town again and walked with his disciples] alongside [Galilee] lake. A large crowd came to him. Then he taught them.
Ahashila andhele munshinje munshije idimi nikundi ilwa bhantu bhundhi bhala gawa mwene abhansunda.
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.
Aliashizanya alola uLawi mwana Alfayo akhele isehemu yakusanya isongo abhula, ahaga “Nfhatanje.” Ahimenlhila nahudaje.
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.
Uwakati uYesu alwangai ishale munyumba ya Lawi bhabhuganyaga na wantu imbibhi bhaha bha bhalwanga nu Yesu nasudwe bhakwe, phepo phipo bhalibhinji bhali bhahudaga.
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]
Ulwo asimbi, abhahali, Mafalisayo pabhahalola uYesu alwa na mbibhi adhele bhahunganya isongo, bhahabhula asunda abhakwe, “Lelo yenu anabhunganya isengo nata nabhomba imbibhi?”
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].”
U Yesu pahuvha isho ayanga, “Ishi awantu ahali bhiza amhele gao hawaziwa husiphitali; bhatu abhinu tuu bhabha waza saga ize. Awanzea bhiza abhihaki, lelo abhibhi.”
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]?”
Asudwa awa Yohana na Amafalisayo wali haga bhalwa. Wamo bhalila bhabhulile henu asundwa abha Yohana na mafalisayo habhaleha alwe, lelo asundwa bhaho bhala habha ngalila?
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].
U Yesu ahabhula, “Ishi uwa tanjile hushahe agawezya agalilaje alwe uwakati bhobho umwani sha nabhene? Khashele umwani shikukukulu shali pepo nao? Lelo walwalwunthi umwa khashele bhalinabho hawezihujefunje.”
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].”
Insiku ziwhiza alo ubwana nashikulukulu paishila nhipopo bhaifunga.
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!
Numo umuntu uwamama umwenda ukulu mumwenda upha mu mwenda ukulu kulu, pakashinzavhe shashe piletu, nazembushe uluwiwi afumine ni lwolizaduhane shibhibhi.
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]
Numo umuntu uwaponya ihobwa ipha muvhilhelo ivilazu, lelo ihobwa sibhavibazulanye vhonti vibhele nai hombwa navivho vibhabazushe nateje. Amana gakwe, nhviha imbwa ephwa muvilo ivipha.”
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].
Isiku limo uYesu ahashizanya pisiku ilwantu ye humagunda gamo gamo enya afundiwa bhakwe handa bhamo bhamo bhanda alwe amazhali ingingano.
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]”
Na Amafarisayo bhabhabhula, “Enya, yenu bhamba gasa ganghigo ahandhu hasa haho inje yitalatibu pisiku ituye 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]
Habhabhula, “Sagamumanyile hala habhomba u Daudi pahazaga palini nizala— umwene nabhala ali nao umwene?
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!]”
Ishahabho munyumba ya Ngulubhi ulwa Abiathari pali puti ugosi ahalwa ibhumnda ilwa bhiewelwa pitazi— ilwa shali shizyonga ishitalatibu wamuntu wabhodhi ila waputu—-apele ga vimo vimo wabhala bhali nabho?”
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)!
U Yesu ayaga, “Sabato ihabhombilwe kwa ajili ya mwanadamu, saga wamwanadamu kwa ajili ya 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)!”
Isho Umwana wa Adamu ni Bwana, hata wi Sabato.”
