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.
Na Jesus el sifil folokla nu in iwen lolngok, ac oasr sie mwet we su ul la paol.
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]).
Oasr kutu mwet we su kena suk mwatan Jesus, ouinge elos arulana lohang in liye lah el ac akkeyala mwet sac ke len Sabbath.
3 Jesus said to the man whose hand was shriveled, “Stand up here in front of everyone!” [So the man stood up].
Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet sac, “Fahsru nu meet uh.”
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.
Na el siyuk sin mwet uh, “Mea Ma Sap lasr uh lela kut in oru ke len Sabbath uh? In kasru, ku in akkeokye? In molela moul lun sie mwet, ku in kunausla?” A elos tiana fahk kutena ma.
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!
Jesus el arulana kasrkusrak ke el ngetang liyalos, tusruktu el oayapa pakomutalos lah elos arulana likkeke ac tafongla. Na el fahk nu sin mwet sac, “Asroela poum.” Ac el asroela, na paol kwela.
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.
Na mwet Pharisee elos illa liki iwen lolngok, ac som in pacl sacna in osun yurin kutu sin mwet in u lal Herod, ac elos oru pwapa lalos in unilya Jesus.
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],
Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut elos som nu ke Lulu Galilee ac mwet puspis fahsr tokolos. Mwet inge elos tuku liki acn Galilee, acn Judea,
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.
liki Jerusalem, liki acn Idumea, ac layen kutulap in Infacl Jordan, oayapa acn ma oan sisken siti Tyre ac Sidon. Mwet inge nukewa tuku nu yurin Jesus ke sripen elos lohng ke ma el oru.
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].
Ke sripen pusla lun mwet uh pwanang Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut elos in akoela soko oak nu sel tuh mwet uh in tia itungilya.
El tuh akkeyala mwet puspis, na mwet mas nukewa alak nu yorol tuh elos in ku in kahlilya.
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)!”
Ac pacl nukewa mwet ma oasr ngun fohkfok yoro ac liyal uh, elos ac putati ye mutal ac wowoyak ac fahk, “Kom Wen nutin God!”
12 He commanded the [evil spirits] strongly that they should not tell anyone who he was.
Jesus el kai ngun fohkfok inge elos in tia fahkulak nu sin kutena mwet.
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.
Na Jesus el utyak nu fineol uh ac pangoneni mwet su el lungse in welul. Elos som nu yorol,
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.
ac el sulela mwet singoul luo su el pangon mwet sap. El fahk nu selos, “Nga sulekowosla kowos in wiyu. Nga ac fah oayapa supwekowosla in fahkak,
15 He also gave them power in order that they might expel evil spirits [from people].
na ac fah oasr ku lowos in sisla demon uh.”
16 These were the twelve men he appointed: Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name Peter; his [younger] brother Andrew;
Pa inge mwet singoul luo ma el sulela: Simon (Jesus el sang inel Peter);
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];
James ac John ma lel, wen natul Zebedee (Jesus el pangnoltal Boanerges, kalmac pa “Wen nutin Pulahl”);
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];
Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James wen natul Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon mwet Zealot
19 and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]). He was the one who [later] (betrayed Jesus/helped Jesus’ enemies seize him).
ac Judas Iscariot su tukakunulak Jesus.
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].
Na Jesus el folokla nu in acn sel, ac mwet puspis sifilpa tuku nu yorol, ouinge wangin pacl in mongo lal Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut.
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.
Ke mwet in sou lal lohngak, elos som in usalu ke sripen mwet uh fahk mu, “El wella!”
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]!”
Kutu sin mwet luti ke Ma Sap su tuku Jerusalem me elos fahk, “Oasr ngunal Beelzebul in el! Kalem lah el pa sang ku nu sel in sisla demon uh, mweyen Beelzebul pa leum lun demon uh.”
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]
Na Jesus el pangnolosme nu yorol ac fahk nu selos ke kas in pupulyuk: “Satan el ac ku in sisella Satan fuka?
24 If [people who live in the same] country are fighting one another, they will cease to be a single group under one ruler.
Sie mutunfacl fin srisrielik ac sifacna forani amei sie sin sie, mutunfacl sac ac musalla.
25 And if [people who live in the same] house fight each other, they will certainly not remain [as one family].
Sie sou fin kitakatelik ac forani lokoalok lain sie sin sie, sou sacn ac musalla.
26 Similarly, if Satan and his [evil spirits] were fighting one another, instead of remaining strong, he would become powerless.
Ouinge tokosrai lal Satan fin kitakatelik nu in u, ac tia ku in oan paht, a ac musalla ac wanginla.
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.”
“Wangin sie mwet ku in utyak nu in lohm sin sie mwet ku ac usla ma lal, el fin tia kapriya mwet ku sac meet, na el fah ku in pisrala koanan lohm sel.
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.
“Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, mwet uh ku in eis nunak munas ke ma koluk lalos nukewa ac ke kaskou lalos nukewa.
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!”
(Jesus el fahk ma inge mweyen kutu mwet uh fahk mu, “Oasr ngun fohkfok in el.”)
31 Jesus’ mother and [younger] siblings arrived. While they stood outside, they sent [someone inside] in order to call him [outside].
Na nina kial Jesus ac mwet lel elos tuku. Elos tu likinum uh ac sapak nu in lohm ah in siyukul.
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!”
Mwet puspis muta raunella Jesus ac elos fahk nu sel, “Liye, nina kiom ac mwet wiom elos oasr likinum uh, ac elos siyuk kom.”
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]
Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Su nina kiuk? Su mwet wiuk?”
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.
El ngetang nu sin mwet ma muta raunella ac fahk, “Liye! Pa inge nina kiuk ac mwet wiuk!
35 Those who habitually do what God wants are [as dear to me] [MET] as my brother, my sister, or my mother!”
El su oru ma lungse lun God pa ma lik, ma louk, ac nina kiuk.”
