Mark 3
1 [On another] ([Sabbath/Jewish day of rest]), Jesus entered (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) again. There was a man there whose hand was shriveled.
Yesu bo guani kua jufi -nba tantandieli nni. O ja bo ke o nuugu kpe.
2 [Some men of the Pharisee sect] watched him carefully in order to see whether he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this in order that [if he healed the man], they would accuse him of disobeying [their Jewish laws, because he worked] ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]).
Yaaba bo ye li kani bo kpaag'o ki ba diidi Yesu ya baa paagi'o m fuodima daali. Ke ban jalig'o.
3 Jesus said to the man whose hand was shriveled, “Stand up here in front of everyone!” [So the man stood up].
Yesu bo yedi o ja yua ya nuugu bo kpe yeni: «fii gi sedi t siiga nnni».
4 Then Jesus said [to the Pharisees], “Do the laws [that God gave Moses] permit people to do good ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]), or do they permit people to do evil? Specifically, do his laws permit us to save a person’s life (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit us] to let him die [by refusing to help him]?” But they did not reply.
Lani ke Yesu yedi u niwuligu: «i tuo tin tieni li bonŋanla bii u bonbiigu bi niba fuodima daali gi gaa o miali bii ki ŋaa wan bode» ama b bo ŋmini suooo.
5 He looked around at them angrily. He was very distressed that they were stubbornly [not wanting to help the man]. So he said to the man, “Reach out your hand!” When the man reached out his withered hand, his hand became all right again!
Yesu bo nuali'ba yeni li pabiili kelima b bo fiini b pala ke li juagi. Lani ke Yesu yedi o ja yeni «tandi a nuugu» ke o tandi o nuugu ke Yesu paag'o.»
6 Then the Pharisees [decided to get rid of Jesus. So] after they left [the meeting house], they [immediately met with some of] the Jews who supported Herod [Antipas, who ruled Galilee district]. Together they planned how they could kill Jesus.
Li yogunu mɔno faalisiani -nba taani kali ki ji juogidi ban baa tieni maama ki cuo Yesu ki kpa'o.
7 Jesus and his disciples left [that] town and went to an area further along [Galilee Lake in order to get away from the people]. But a great crowd of people followed him. They were people who came from Galilee [district],
Li po ke Jesu yeni o ŋɔdikaaba gedi m ñinciama kunu. U niwuligu boncianla bo ñani Galile ye Jude ki ŋua 'o.
8 from Jerusalem [city], from [other towns of] Judea [district], from Idumea [district], from [the region on] the [east] side of the Jordan [River], and from [the region] around Tyre and Sidon [cities]. This great crowd of people came to him because they heard about what he was doing.
Jelusalemi dogu, Idume bii juudeni yaa kandima yeni ya diema kpia Tiir yeni sidɔn. Li niwulugu bo cuoni Yesi kani kelimaa bi bo bani wan suani yaali.
9 Because he had healed many people, many [other] people who had various illnesses pushed forward in order that by touching him [they would come well]. So he told his disciples that they should get a small boat ready for him [to get in and teach from it]. He wanted to do this in order that the crowd would not crush him [when they pushed forward to touch him].
O yedi o ŋɔdikaaba ke ban kpaani u ñinbiagu ke wan kua, kelima u niwuligu baa mad'o
Wan bo paagi bi niba boncianli yeni, yaaba bo ye li kani kuli ki yia ji bo tudi bi lieba ki gba ban si'o.
11 Whenever the evil spirits saw Jesus, [they caused the people whom they controlled] to fall down in front of Jesus [in recognition of Jesus’ power]. Then they exclaimed, “You are (the Son of God/the man who is also God)!”
T tagibiidi danba ya la'o ya yogunu kuli bi yio gbaani o nituali nni ki ya tandi: «ki tua a tie u Tienu bijua»
12 He commanded the [evil spirits] strongly that they should not tell anyone who he was.
Ama o bo yi yie ki maadi ke ban daa cedi ban bandi wan tie yua.
13 Jesus went [with many other people] up into the hills. After he picked out [from among them] the men whom he wanted [to accompany him], they came [close] to him.
Yesu bo doni li juali po ki yini wan bua yaaba ke bi cua o kani.
14 He appointed twelve men in order that they might be with him and in order that he might send them out to preach. He called them apostles.
O bo lugidi piiga n nibilie ki yin'ba b tondiba. Ke bani n baa fidi ki ya ye yen'o, ke wan suan'ba ke ban ya caa ki wangi u Tienu ñɔmaama
15 He also gave them power in order that they might expel evil spirits [from people].
O bo pun'ba u paalu ke ban ya diali k ñangi t tɔgbiidi.
16 These were the twelve men he appointed: Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name Peter; his [younger] brother Andrew;
wan bo yini niba piiga n bonbilie yaaba yela nne simɔni yua ke o bo pul'o Piali.
17 James, [the son] of Zebedee, and John, the [younger] brother of James, to [both of] whom he added the [new] name, ‘Men who are like Thunder’. [because of their fiery zeal];
Saaki yen o yualo San Zebede bijaba. yaaba ke Yesu bo pul'ba. Boanɛr li niima n tie yua maadi nani i tatandi yeni.
18 Philip; Bartholomew; Levi, whose other name was Matthew; Thomas; [another] James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus; [another] Simon, who was a [member of the party that wanted] to overthrow [the Roman government];
Yeni Andre, Filipa, Bartelemi, Matio, Toma, Jak Alifebijua, Tadide Simɔ Zeloti.
19 and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]). He was the one who [later] (betrayed Jesus/helped Jesus’ enemies seize him).
Yeni Juda ISkariyoti yua bo t kuad'o.
20 Jesus [along with his disciples] went to the house where he was staying [in Capernaum. Again a crowd gathered where he was]. There were many people crowding around him, so that he and his disciples had no time when they could eat or [when they could do anything else].
Lan pugini waamu Jesu yeni o ŋɔdikaaba bo kuni denpo. Ke o niwulugu gɔ taani ban ye naani yeni ki yabi ke wani yeni o ŋɔdikaaaba t ki bàà yaama ki baa je.
21 After his relatives heard about this, they went to take him home [with them] because (some people/they) were saying that he was insane.
K jesu niba bo gbia ke b maadi ke ban taa'o kelima b bo tua ke o yanma nni n biidi.»
22 [Around that time] some men who taught the [Jewish] laws came down from Jerusalem [city. They heard that Jesus was expelling demons]. So they were telling [people], “Beelzebub, who rules the evil spirits, controls him. He is the one who enables this man to expel evil spirits [from people]!”
U Tienu maama gbanbanda bo ñani Jerusalemi ki cua. b bo yedi «Belisebul yua tie o pola bado ke o kubi o ya paalu i ki bieli o pola»
23 Jesus summoned those men. [Then he spoke to them] in parables [to enable them to realize that Satan would not oppose his own evil spirits. He also wanted them to realize that by expelling evil spirits, he was demonstrating that he was much more powerful than Satan]. So he said, “([It is ridiculous] to suggest that Satan would expel his own [evil spirits]!/Why would Satan expel his own [evil spirits]?) [RHQ]
Yesu bo yini'ba o kani kaalindima ki pua'bi m kpanjama: «Sitaani tieni ledi k guani beli sitaani i?
24 If [people who live in the same] country are fighting one another, they will cease to be a single group under one ruler.
Ya dogu nni ke bi niba gɔ ki kɔni yeni bi lieba laa dogu kan fidi ya se ke li ŋani.
25 And if [people who live in the same] house fight each other, they will certainly not remain [as one family].
Ya diegu nni ke bi niba gɔ ki kɔni b ŋmiali nni li diegu kan fidi ya se ke li ŋani.
26 Similarly, if Satan and his [evil spirits] were fighting one another, instead of remaining strong, he would become powerless.
Li tie ke sitaani ya guani kɔni yeni o bá li waani ke o paqalu bɔgidi n yeni, o kan fidi ye se o juodi n yeni.
27 Contrary to [what you say about me], someone can enter the house of a strong man [like Satan] and carry off his possessions only if he first ties up the strong man. Then [and only then] will he [be able to] steal the things in that man’s house.”
Ama nilo ba kuli kan fidi kua o gbanmandaano deni ki fidi fie o piama.
28 [Jesus also said], “Consider this carefully! People may sin in many ways and they may speak evilly about God, but [if] they [then are sorry and ask God to] forgive [them], [God] will forgive them for doing that.
Yesu bo yedi n baa maad'i i mɔnmɔni bi niba n tieni ya tuonbiidi bbi bàà sugili b tuonbiadi po, yeni ban sugi u Tienu ya sugidi.
30 [Jesus told them that] because [they refused to admit that the Holy Spirit was helping him to expel demons. Instead], they were saying, “An evil spirit is controlling him!”
Yesu bo maadi li kuli ne agbanbanda kelimaa bi bo tua ke o pia o tɔgu biigu.
31 Jesus’ mother and [younger] siblings arrived. While they stood outside, they sent [someone inside] in order to call him [outside].
O naá yeni o waamu bo cua ki se cancanli ki sɔni o nilo ke wan yiin'o
32 A crowd was sitting around Jesus. One of them said to him, “Listen/Hey, your mother and your [younger] brothers and sisters are outside, and they are wanting (to see/to talk with) you!”
Li sua ke o niwuligu kaa ki lind'o. Oja den yedi a naá yeni a waamu kaa cancanli ki kpaani ŋa
33 Jesus replied to them, “([I will tell you something about] my mother and my brothers.[/Do you know whom I consider to be like] my mother and my brothers?)” [RHQ]
Yesu bo ŋmiam' i ŋmaa tie n naá yeni n waamu.
34 After he looked around at [the disciples] who were sitting around him [in a circle], he said, “Look here! I [love these men as much as] I [love] my mother and my brothers.
Lani ke o bo 35diidi yaaba kaa ki lindo yeni kuli ki yedi: n naá yeni n ninjanba n yeni.
35 Those who habitually do what God wants are [as dear to me] [MET] as my brother, my sister, or my mother!”
Yua pia li dandanli n po ki tiedi n yanbuama lan nilo n tie n nijua yeni n nisalo yeni naá.
