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.
Nígbà tí Jesu wá sí Sinagọgu. Sì kíyèsi i ọkùnrin kan wà níbẹ̀, tí ọwọ́ rẹ̀ kan rọ.
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]).
Àwọn kan nínú wọn sì ń wa ọ̀nà láti fi ẹ̀sùn kan Jesu. Nítorí náà, wọ́n ń ṣọ́ Ọ bí yóò mú un láradá ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi.
3 Jesus said to the man whose hand was shriveled, “Stand up here in front of everyone!” [So the man stood up].
Jesu wí fún ọkùnrin tí ọwọ́ rẹ̀ rọ náà pé, “Dìde dúró ní iwájú ìjọ ènìyàn.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Jesu béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ó bá òfin mu ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi bóyá láti ṣe rere, tàbí láti ṣe búburú! Láti gbà ẹ̀mí là, tàbí pa á run?” Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n dákẹ́ láìfèsì.
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!
Nígbà tí ó sì wo gbogbo wọn yíká pẹ̀lú ìbínú, ọkàn rẹ̀ sì bàjẹ́ nítorí líle àyà wọn, ó sọ fún ọkùnrin náà pé, “Na ọwọ́ rẹ jáde.” Ó nà án jáde, ọwọ́ náà sì bọ̀ sípò padà pátápátá.
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.
Lójúkan náà, àwọn Farisi jáde lọ, láti bá àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn Herodu gbìmọ̀ pọ̀, bí wọn yóò ṣe pa Jesu.
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],
Jesu pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ yẹra kúrò níbẹ̀ lọ sí etí Òkun. Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn láti Galili àti Judea sì tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn.
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.
Nígbà tí wọ́n gbọ́ ìròyìn iṣẹ́ ìyanu tí ó ṣe, ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn sì tọ̀ ọ́ wá láti Judea, Jerusalẹmu àti Idumea, àti láti apá kejì odò Jordani àti láti ìhà Tire àti Sidoni.
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].
Nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn, Jesu sọ fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ láti ṣètò ọkọ̀ ojú omi kékeré kan sílẹ̀ fún un láti lọ, láti lé àwọn èrò sẹ́yìn.

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)!”
Ìgbàkúgbà tí àwọn tí ó ni ẹ̀mí àìmọ́ bá ti fojú ri, wọ́n á wólẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀. Wọn a sì kígbe lóhùn rara wí pé, “Ìwọ ni Ọmọ Ọlọ́run.”
12 He commanded the [evil spirits] strongly that they should not tell anyone who he was.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó kìlọ̀ fún wọn gidigidi, kí wọn má ṣe fi òun hàn.
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.
Jesu gun orí òkè lọ, ó sì pe àwọn kan tí ó yàn láti wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, wọ́n sì tọ̀ ọ́ wá.
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.
Ó yan àwọn méjìlá, kí wọn kí ó lè wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, àti kí ó lè rán wọn lọ láti wàásù
15 He also gave them power in order that they might expel evil spirits [from people].
àti láti lágbára láti lé àwọn ẹ̀mí Èṣù jáde.
16 These were the twelve men he appointed: Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name Peter; his [younger] brother Andrew;
Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn méjìlá náà tí ó yàn: Simoni (ẹni ti ó sọ àpèlé rẹ̀ ní Peteru),
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];
Jakọbu ọmọ Sebede àti Johanu arákùnrin rẹ̀ (àwọn ẹni tí Jesu sọ àpèlé wọ́n ní Boanaji, èyí tí ó túmọ̀ sí “àwọn ọmọ àrá”).
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];
Àti Anderu, Filipi, Bartolomeu, Matiu, Tomasi, Jakọbu ọmọ Alfeu, Taddeu, Simoni tí ń jẹ́ Sealoti
19 and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]). He was the one who [later] (betrayed Jesus/helped Jesus’ enemies seize him).
àti Judasi Iskariotu, ẹni tí ó fi í hàn níkẹyìn.
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].
Nígbà náà ni Jesu sì wọ inú ilé kan, àwọn èrò sì tún kórajọ, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí Òun àti àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ kò rí ààyè láti jẹun.
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.
Nígbà tí àwọn ẹbí rẹ̀ gbọ́ èyí, wọ́n wá láti mú un lọ ilé, nítorí tí wọn wí pé, “Orí rẹ̀ ti dàrú.”
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]!”
Àwọn olùkọ́ni ní òfin sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá láti Jerusalẹmu, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ó ni Beelsebulu, olórí àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù, ni ó sì fi ń lé àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù jáde!”
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]
Jesu pè wọ́n, ó sì fi òwe bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀: “Báwo ni Èṣù ṣe lè lé èṣù jáde?
24 If [people who live in the same] country are fighting one another, they will cease to be a single group under one ruler.
Bí ìjọba kan bá yapa sí ara rẹ̀, ìjọba náà yóò wó lulẹ̀.
25 And if [people who live in the same] house fight each other, they will certainly not remain [as one family].
Bákan náà, bí ilé kan bá sì yapa sí ara rẹ, ilé náà kí yóò le è dúró.
26 Similarly, if Satan and his [evil spirits] were fighting one another, instead of remaining strong, he would become powerless.
Bí Èṣù bá sì dìde sí ara rẹ̀, tí ó sì yapa, òun kí yóò le è dúró ṣùgbọ́n òpin rẹ̀ yóò dé.
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.”
Kò sí ẹni tí ó le wọ ilé ọkùnrin alágbára kan lọ, kí ó sì kó o ní ẹrù lọ, bí kò ṣe pé ó kọ́kọ́ de ọkùnrin alágbára náà ní okùn, nígbà náà ni yóò lè kó ẹrù ní ilé rẹ̀.
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.
Lóòótọ́ ní mo wí fún yín, gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni a ó dáríjì àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn, àti gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀-òdì.
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!”
Òun sọ eléyìí fún wọn, nítorí tí wọ́n sọ pé, “Nípa agbára ẹ̀mí àìmọ́ ló ń ṣe àwọn iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀.”
31 Jesus’ mother and [younger] siblings arrived. While they stood outside, they sent [someone inside] in order to call him [outside].
Nígbà náà ni àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ àti ìyá wá, wọ́n dúró lóde, wọ́n sì ránṣẹ́ sí i, wọ́n ń pè é.
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!”
Àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n jókòó lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ sì wí fún un pé, “Ìyá àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ wà lóde.”
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]
Ṣùgbọ́n ó dá wọn lóhùn wí pé, “Ta ni í ṣe ìyá mi tàbí àwọn arákùnrin mi?”
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.
Ó sì wò gbogbo àwọn tí ó jókòó lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ yíká, ó sì wí pé, “Àwọn wọ̀nyí ni ìyá mi àti àwọn arákùnrin mi.
35 Those who habitually do what God wants are [as dear to me] [MET] as my brother, my sister, or my mother!”
Nítorí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ń ṣe ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run, òun ni arákùnrin mi àti arábìnrin mi àti ìyá mi.”
