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.
Antele ahijila muhati mwaputile muka mwali nu muntu uwikono ugwaupolile.
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]).
Abhantu bhamo bhadagaga muphiphi huje bhenye khashele azahuponyeisi kuli Sabato aje bhatake.
3 Jesus said to the man whose hand was shriveled, “Stand up here in front of everyone!” [So the man stood up].
U Yesu ahabhula umuntu uwikhono ugwagupolile bhuha imilila pahati iyibhugaine.”
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.
Ishihabhala abhantu, “Jee shinza abho iliza lwaponwe pisiku li Sabato au ilwa joje; ulwa sikeli, au gasa?” Gawaziwa aponwe agoje.
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!
Bhamamhee ahabhenya wilwoyo asononoha pipoiliyaukhame wimoyo gao ahabhula muntu, “Goloswa ukhono gwaho.” Augoloswa nu Yesu aguponwa ukho gwakwe.
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.
Mafalisayo bhafumahuzi bhahabhomba zimozimo nu Mahelode aziade umwene nahugoje.
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],
Phipo uYesu, nasandwa bhakwe bhashila hunzumbi, ni mbhuga nhingosi iyabhantu ihabhadagaga ihafumaga hu Galilaya na Uyahudi
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.
na fume Yelusalemu nafume indumaya na witanzi yi Yolodani na vhelane yitilo ni Sidoni, imbhuga ingosi, phihuvhwa shila hantu ahaga ahabhomba, bhabhiza wa mwene.
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].
Ahabhamhula asundwa bhakwe atayalisye itulyi idodo kwa ajili ya mwene phipo imbhuga, ili bhangaje husoje.
Pipo abhapo mwaga winji, ilikila mntu uwali na malamba anihu hufishile ili apata manzwe.
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)!”
Paphunti ipepo ichafu panwalolaga zywa gwaga paka panzi witanzilwa kwe nalile, bhayangaga, “Awa uli Mwana wa Ngulubhi”.
12 He commanded the [evil spirits] strongly that they should not tell anyone who he was.
Abhamlila abhasimisizya agamde awubhushe.
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.
Abhala pamwanya pigamba, abhakuda abhanzaga, mbahabhala wa mwene.
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.
Abhasalula ilongo limo na bhantu bhabhili(abhakaga atumwa), ili bhambe palushimo nu mwene ili awe zywaje atume alu bhilile,
15 He also gave them power in order that they might expel evil spirits [from people].
na bhamlila azywefhe iphepo.
16 These were the twelve men he appointed: Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name Peter; his [younger] brother Andrew;
Abhasalula ilongo nabhaji bhabhile uSimoni iyapela itawa ilya Petulo,
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];
Yakobo umwana wa Zebedayo, nu Yohana uholo wakwe uYakobo, apelilwe itawa ilwahuje Bonagesi, ibho ni bhana awungume,
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];
na Andeleya, Filipo, Bartholomayi, Mathayo, Tomaso, Yakobo, umwana wa Alfayo, thadato, Simoni Mkananayo,
19 and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]). He was the one who [later] (betrayed Jesus/helped Jesus’ enemies seize him).
na uYuda Iskariote, ambaye asambushila.
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].
Nhipo ahabhala khaya, mbhuga ya bhantu bhahinzha bhunti nabho nanthele, saga bhahawezywa na hulwe imbumunda.
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.
Abhana bhakwe pabhuvha ahapango mhiho, bhahabhala hukhute leloinjele, zyakwe zulushile, “Amerukwa na akili”.
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]!”
Asimbi bhahenza afume mu Yelusalemu bhayanga, “Asangi ne Beelzebuli,” uwa tawali ni phepo awefwa amapepo”.
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 abhakuga wamwene nana yanje navho hushifwani, “Haga pauli uSetano aha mwefya Setano?
24 If [people who live in the same] country are fighting one another, they will cease to be a single group under one ruler.
Utawala khaugabhanishe bhuwo, utawa uwo ungimilila.
25 And if [people who live in the same] house fight each other, they will certainly not remain [as one family].
Inyumba khigabhanishe yiyo i nyumba iyosigawezya awemelele.
26 Similarly, if Satan and his [evil spirits] were fighting one another, instead of remaining strong, he would become powerless.
Ngashele uSetano ainushe shinje ishashivhi yuyo na gabhanishe, hangi mivhila, na azabhe afishile hu mwisho wakwe.
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.”
Lelo nomo uwagawezya hata umo awinjile muhati nyumba iya muntu uwikone nawivhe ivintu vhakwe bila hupinye umwanikhone nasoti khasha abhunga nyaje ivya nyumba.
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.
Lyoli imbabhula ibhivhi zyunthi izywa bhanabha bhantu zyai hobhoshelwa, naligo gawayanga,
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 alilisema hili kwa sababu walikuwa wakisema, “Ana roho chafu”.
31 Jesus’ mother and [younger] siblings arrived. While they stood outside, they sent [someone inside] in order to call him [outside].
Pepo anyina naholo bhakwe bhahenza na bhemelele huzi. Bhahatuma umuntu, hukuje.
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!”
Abhantu bhali bhinji bhalipepe numwene bhabhula, “unyina waho naholo bhaho bhali hunzi, bhahu waza awe”.
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]
Abhanjibula, “Yu nanu inyina wani na holo bhani?”
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.
Ahabhenya bhali bhakhele bhazyungulele, ahayanga, “Enya, ibha bhamaibhani na holo bhani!
35 Those who habitually do what God wants are [as dear to me] [MET] as my brother, my sister, or my mother!”
Ngunthi mapezi gakwe Unguluvhi, umuntu uyo holo wani, nanyirumbu wani na yumayi wani.”
