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.
Nizilike am-pitontonañ’ao indraike re le nanjo ty lahilahy kenge-fitàñe.
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]).
Hinare’ iereo ke hañafake ami’ty Sabata, hanisìa’ iareo.
3 Jesus said to the man whose hand was shriveled, “Stand up here in front of everyone!” [So the man stood up].
Aa le hoe re amy lahilahy kenge-fitañey: Miongaha mb’etoa.
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.
Le hoe re tam’ iereo: Ty aia ty Hake, ty manao raty, he ty manao soa naho Sabotse; ty mamono, ke ty mañaha fiaiñe? F’ie tsy nahabeoke.
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!
Jinilojilo’e an-keloke, le nanahelo ami’ty hagàn-tro’ iareo, vaho nanao ty hoe am’ indatiy: Ahitio ty fità’o. Le nahiti’e, vaho niareñe ho janga manahake ty ila’e i fità’ey.
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.
Niavotse o Fariseoo naho niharo fikaoñe amy zao amo mpiamy Herodao nikilily ty hañè-doza ama’e.
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],
Nisitake mb’an-driake ey t’Iesoà rekets’ o mpiama’eo; le nañorike aze ty lahialeñe hirike e Galilia naho boak’ Iehodà añe,
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.
naho hirike Ierosaleme; naho hirik’ Edoma naho alafe’ Iordaney vaho amparipari’ i Tirò naho i Sidona añe—ondaty mitozantozañe, hene nahajanjiñe o hene fitoloña’eo naho nimb’ ama’e mb’eo.
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].
Le sinaontsi’e amo mpiama’eo ty hañajary lakañe ho aze ty amy valobohòkey tsy mone hifanamboentamboeñe.
Akore ty hamaro ty nafaha’e kanao nifanindry ama’e hitsap’ aze ze nisilofe’ ty areteñe.
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)!”
Ndra mb’ia mb’ia nahatrea aze o anga-maleotseo le niankotrake aolo’e eo nikoràke ty hoe: Ihe i Anan’ Añaharey,
12 He commanded the [evil spirits] strongly that they should not tell anyone who he was.
fa hinatahata’e tsy hampahafohiñe aze.
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.
Niañambone vohitse mb’eo re le tsinikao’e ze satri’e vaho niheova’ iereo.
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.
Tinendre’e ty folo ro’amby ho mpiama’e, hahitri’e hitaroñe,
15 He also gave them power in order that they might expel evil spirits [from people].
ie ho aman-dily hañary kokolampa:
16 These were the twelve men he appointed: Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name Peter; his [younger] brother Andrew;
Le natovo’e amy Simona ty tahinañe ty hoe: Petera;
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];
naho am’Iakobe ana’ i Zebedio naho i Jaona rahalahi’ Iakobe ty nanovoña’e añaran-tsole ty hoe Boanerjesy, toe Anañ’ àmpiñe;
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];
naho i Andrea naho i Filipo naho i Bartolomeo naho i Matio naho i Tomasy naho Iakobe ana’ i Alfeo naho i Tadeo naho i Simona mahimbañe,
19 and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]). He was the one who [later] (betrayed Jesus/helped Jesus’ enemies seize him).
vaho i Jodasy nte-Keriote nifotetse azey.
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].
Nizilike añ’anjomba ao re naho nivorigidiñe indraike i lahialeñey, kanao tsy nilefe ty hikama.
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.
Ie nahajanjiñe izay o longo’eo, le niheo mb’eo hamihim-pitañe aze, ami’ty asa’ iareo ty hoe: Tondren-dre.
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]!”
Nizotso boake Ierosaleme añe o mpanoki-dilio, nanao ty hoe: Angara’ ty belzeboba re, vaho i bein-kokolampay ty añaria’e kokolampa.
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]
Tsinikao’e hitotok’ aze iereo vaho nirazaña’e ty hoe: Aia ty hañaria’ i mpañìnjey i mpañìnjey?
24 If [people who live in the same] country are fighting one another, they will cease to be a single group under one ruler.
Naho mifampiria ty fifeheañe, tsy hijadoñe i fifeheañey.
25 And if [people who live in the same] house fight each other, they will certainly not remain [as one family].
Ie mifamotetse ty anjomba, tsy hahafitroatse i anjombay.
26 Similarly, if Satan and his [evil spirits] were fighting one another, instead of remaining strong, he would become powerless.
Ie miongake hiatreatre vatañe ty mpañìnje naho mifañambake, le tsy hitoetse, fa higadoñe.
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.”
Tsy eo ty hahazilike añ’ anjombam-panalolahy ao hañaoke o vara’eo, naho tsy vahora’e hey i fanalolahiy, izay vaho ho volose’e i anjomba’ey.
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.
Eka! to t’itaroñako te hahañe amo ana’ ondatio ze atao hakeo naho ze hateràñe iterà’ iareo,
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!”
ami’ty fivola’ iareo t’ie aman’ anga-draty.
31 Jesus’ mother and [younger] siblings arrived. While they stood outside, they sent [someone inside] in order to call him [outside].
Nipoteake eo o rahalahi’eo naho i rene’e, nijohañe alafe ao, le nañitrike ama’e vaho nitok’ aze.
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!”
Niambesatse añariseho aze i maroy; le hoe ty nitsaraeñe ama’e: Inao, alafe ao ty rene’o naho o rahalahi’oo; ie mipay azo.
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]
Hoe ty natoi’e am’ iareo: Ia ty reneko naho o rahalahikoo?
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.
Narendre’e amy zao o niambesatse niarikoboñ’ azeo, le nanao ty hoe: Hehe ty reneko naho o rahalahikoo!
35 Those who habitually do what God wants are [as dear to me] [MET] as my brother, my sister, or my mother!”
Ndra ia ia manao ty satrin’ Añahare, ie ty rahalahiko naho rahavaveko vaho reneko.
