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,
Alu lonyi loom gv kochinglo Jisu kaparnaum lo vngkur toku, okv ho nw naam lo doopvkv vla yunying ngv dusik toku.
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.
Vkvlvgabv hoka nyi vdwv achialvbv aakum kunamv aronv karchung goka dooku mato, okv agi gv agum loka dooku kaamato. Jisu bunua doin japjito.
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].
Vdwlo nyi api v aalwk tokudw, digwngnv nyi go Jisu gvlo joolwk toku.
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].
Nyi twngtv kunam lvgabv, ogubvrijeka, bunu nyi um ninyi gvlo aagv nyumato. Vkvlvgabv Jisu ogolo doopvdw ho tintwbv bunu namwng aolo ungko go mvko toku. Vdwlo bunu mvko tokudw bunu nyi a ninyigv joko lo karmu tvla soolu jitoku.
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!”
Bunugv achialvbv mvngjwng kunam a kaagv rikula, Jisu digwngnv nyi anga minto, “Ngoogv kuunyilo, noogv rimur vdwa mvngnga jipvkun.”
6 There were some men who taught [the Jewish] laws sitting there. They started thinking like this:
Pvbv tamsarnv megonv ho vdwv doodum tvla bunu mvngsu nyato,
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!”
“Ogubv so nyi si svbv gaam minladunv? Si Pwknvyarnvnyi nyarjitari namgo! Pwknvyarnv akin mwng yvvdw rimur ham mvngnga ladunv!”
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]
Vjakpi gobv Jisu chintoku ho vdwgv ogugo mvngnam am, vkvlvgabv nw bunua minto, “Ogubv nonu vbv mvngdunv?
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].
Vbvri minpubv minla, so digwngnv nyi sum, ‘No gv rimur vdwa mvngnga pvkunv,’ vmalo mindubai, ‘Gudunglak, naaraplak noogv karpunvnv nga, okv vngkarto’?
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,
Vbvrijvka Nyia Kuunyilo ngv nyiamooku so rimur ham anyubv kayu jidubv tojupkunamv doodu hum ngo kaatam dubv rinam go.” Vkvlvgabv nw digwngnv nyi a minto.
11 “To you I say, ‘Get up! Pick up your sleeping pad! And then go home!’”
“Ngo nam mindu, dakrap tvkuka, naaraplak noogv karpunvnv nga, okv naam lo vngnyikuka!”
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!”
Vbvririlo ho mvnwngngv kaadumto, nyi angv dakrap laku, ninyigv karpunvnv nga naarap toku, okv baapubv vngtoku. Bunu mvnwngngv lamngaknyato okv Pwknvyarnvnyi hartvla, minto, “Ngonu vdwloka svkvnvgo ogugoka kaakw mapvnv!”
13 Jesus left [Capernaum town again and walked with his disciples] alongside [Galilee] lake. A large crowd came to him. Then he taught them.
Jisu Galili svparsvlv adarlo lvkodv aakur toku. Nyitwng go nw gvlo aakumto, okv nw bunua tamsar rapto.
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.
Nw vbv vngrilo, nw kaapato lampu naakumyanv, Lebi Alpius gv kuunyilo, ninyigv opislo dooto. Jisu ninyia minto, “Nga vngming gvto.” Lebi gudungto okv nw a vngming gvtoku.
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.
Kochinglo Jisu Lebi gv naamlo dvnam dvla dooto. Twngtv rungnv lampu naakumyanv okv toa kunam nyi vdwvka Jisunyi vngming gvto, okv ninyi gvlo megonv aapwngto okv ninyigv lvbwlaksu vdwv tvbul adarlo dooto.
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]
Pvbv tamsarnv nyi mego, Parisis nyi vdwv, Jisunyi lampu naakumyanv vdwa okv toa kunam nyi vdwa lvkobv dvdubv kaapato, vkvlvgabv bunu ninyigv lvbwlaksu vdwa tvuto, “Ogubv nw vkvnv nyi vdwa lvkobv dvdunv?”
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].”
Jisu bunuam tvvpato okv mirwkto, “Nyi ngv yvvbunudw chvrv nvngv Daktor a dinchima, vbvritola yvvbunudw lvvmanvngv mwng. Ngo mvngdvnv nyi vdwa gokbv aamato, vbvritola rimurnv vdwa.”
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]?”
Doopam gulo Jon gv rigvnam vdwv la okv Parisis vdwv bunu yikla doonyato. Nyi megonv Jisu gvlo aato okv ninyia tvuto, “Si ogu vdw Jon gv lvbwlaksu vdwv la okv Pharisis gv lvbwlaksu vdwv yikla doogvre, vbvritola no gvngv dooma dunv?”
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].
Jisu mirwkto, “Nonuno nyidalo doonv vdwa dvmatvngma bv vngmu dukubv dvmin dunvre? Hvbv rirung mare! Makbu v doodv dvbv bunuam, bunu hvbv rimare.
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].”
Vbvritola alu go aariku makbu a bunugv loka vnggv roriku, okv vbvrikubolo bunu ho yigrap reku.
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!
“Yvvka vji jenw ariap ham vji jikulo hamtak lwknv kaama; Vbvrikubolo ninyigv jenw hamlwk namv takche rikunyi takgv riku okv ungko ngv kootv yayare.
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]
Yvvka anggor ala anw ham pumchup akulo pwlwknv kaamare; vbvribolo anggor ala anw ngv pumchup aku lo hupokre, okv anggor ala ngvla pumchup v alv mariku. Vmabvya anggor ala anw a pumchup anw lo pwlwk yadunv.”
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].
Jius Doonualu golo Jisu radv rongo apum gulo vngpitla vngto. Nw gv lvbwlaksu vdwa lvkobv vngming gvto, bunu radv damw dooku ham gakbwngla pikrap nyatoku.
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]”
Vkvlvgabv Parisi vdwv Jisunyi minto, “Kaato laka, noogv lvbwlaksu vdwv jius Doonualu lo vbvrinam si ngonugv Pvbv nga rinyingdu!”
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]
Jisu mirwkto, “Nonu Dabid vdwlo dvnam go dvnwng rilo ogugo ribvdw um nonuno lvkoka puri rikw mai? Nw la okv ninyigv nyi vdwv kano toku,
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!]”
hoka nw vngtoku Pwknvyarnv gv naamlo okv dvtoku Pwknvyarnv gvlo kumlwknam vtwng nga. Svbvrito vdwlo Abiatar nyibu butvyachok bv ririlo. Ngonugv Pvbv ara lokv nyibu vmwng vtwng nga dvnyu nvngv—vbvritola Dabid um dvtoku okv ninyigv nyi vdwaka jita toku.”
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)!
Okv Jisu minya toku, “Nyi si Doonualu lvgabv mvvma; Doonualuv nyi gv alvnam lvgabv mvpvnv;
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)!”
Vkvlvgabv Nyia Kuunyilo ngv Doonualu gvka Ahtu hv.”
