Mark 9
1 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see God’s Kingdom come with power.”
Ma ọ gwara ha sị, “Nʼezie asị m unu, ụfọdụ nʼime ndị guzo nʼebe a, agaghị edetụ ọnwụ ire tupu ha ahụ alaeze Chineke mgbe ọ ga-abịa nʼike.”
2 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.
Mgbe ụbọchị isii gasịrị, Jisọs kpọọrọ Pita na Jemis na Jọn, duru ha rigoro nʼelu ugwu dị elu. Nʼebe ahụ ka ha nọdụrụ naanị ha. Nʼebe ahụ, a gbanwere ọdịdị ya nʼihu ha.
3 His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
Uwe ya na-enwu ọcha karịa ụdị ọcha ọbụla anya hụrụla. Ọ dịkwa ọcha karịa nke onye ọbụla nʼụwa nwere ike ime ka ihe dị ọcha.
4 Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
Ha hụrụ Ịlaịja na Mosis ka ha pụtara soro Jisọs na-ekwu okwu.
5 Peter answered Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
Pita gwara Jisọs sị, “Onye ozizi, ọ dị mma ka anyị nọdụ nʼebe a. Ka anyị wuo ụlọ ikwu atọ. Otu ga-abụ nke gị, otu a bụrụ nke Mosis, nke ọzọkwa a bụrụ nke Ịlaịja.”
6 For he didn’t know what to say, for they were very afraid.
(Ọ makwaghị ihe ọ ga-ekwu nʼihi na oke egwu tụrụ ha.)
7 A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
Mgbe ahụ, igwe ojii pụtara kpuchie ha. Olu sitere nʼigwe ojii ahụ daa sị, “Onye a bụ Ọkpara m, onye m hụrụ nʼanya. Geenụ ya ntị.”
8 Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.
Na mberede, mgbe ha lere anya gburugburu, ọ dịkwaghị onye ọzọ ha hụrụ, karịa naanị Jisọs.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
Mgbe ha si nʼelu ugwu ahụ na-arịdata, Jisọs nyere ha iwu ka ha ghara ịgwa onye ọbụla ihe ha hụrụ, tutu ruo mgbe Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-esi nʼọnwụ bilie.
10 They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.
Ha zobere ihe a nʼetiti onwe ha, na-ekwurịtara okwu na-atule ihe isi nʼọnwụ bilie pụtara.
11 They asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
Ma ha jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị mere ndị ozizi iwu jiri sị na Ịlaịja aghaghị ibu ụzọ bịa?”
12 He said to them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?
Ọ gwara ha sị, “Ọ bụ ezie, Ịlaịja ga-ebu ụzọ bịa, na-emekwa ka ihe dị ka ọ dị na mbụ. Ma gịnị mere e jiri dee na Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-ahụ ọtụtụ ahụhụ, bụrụkwa onye a jụrụ ajụ?
13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.”
Ka m gwa unu, Ịlaịja abịalarị. Ma ha mesokwara ya mmeso otu ha chọrọ dị ka e dere banyere ya.”
14 Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.
Mgbe ha bịarutere nʼebe ndị na-eso ụzọ ya nọ, ha hụrụ oke igwe mmadụ ka ha gbara ha gburugburu, hụkwa ụfọdụ ndị ozizi iwu ka ha na ha na-arụrịta ụka.
15 Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him.
Ngwangwa, mmadụ ahụ niile hụrụ ya, ụdịdị ya juru ha anya. Ha gbaara ọsọ gaa kelee ya.
16 He asked the scribes, “What are you asking them?”
Ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Unu na ha ọ na-arụrịta ụka banyere gịnị?”
17 One of the multitude answered, “Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
Otu onye nʼime igwe mmadụ ahụ zara ya sị, “Onye ozizi akpọtaara m gị nwa m nwoke, nke mmụọ ọjọọ bi nʼime ya, nke mekwara ka ọ daa ogbi.
18 and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren’t able.”
Mgbe ọbụla mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ malitere isogbu ya, ọ na-atụda ya nʼala. Mgbe ahụ, ọ na-agbọ ụfụfụ nʼọnụ ya, na-ata ikikere eze, anụ ahụ ya na-esikwa ike. Arịọrọ m ndị na-eso ụzọ gị ka ha chụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ a, ma ha enweghị ike.”
19 He answered him, “Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.”
Ọ zaghachiri ha sị, “Unu ọgbọ na-enweghị okwukwe. Ruo ole mgbe ka mụ na unu ga-anọ? Ruo ole mgbe ka m ga-anagide unu? Kpọtaranụ m ya!”
20 They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.
Ya mere, ha kpọtaara ya nwata ahụ. Mgbe mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ hụrụ ya, ngwangwa, o nugharịrị nwata ahụ nke ukwuu, ọ daa nʼala na-atụrụ onwe ya nʼala, na-agbọkwa ụfụfụ nʼọnụ ya.
21 He asked his father, “How long has it been since this has been happening to him?” He said, “From childhood.
Jisọs jụrụ nna nwata ahụ sị, “Olee mgbe ihe a bidoro?” Ọ zara sị, “Site na mgbe ọ bụ nwata nta.
22 Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
Ọ na-eme ya ka ọ daba nʼọkụ, maọbụ na mmiri, ka ọ laa ya nʼiyi. Ọ bụrụ na ọ dị ihe i nwere ike ime, biko meere anyị ebere, nyere anyị aka.”
23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
Jisọs sịrị ya, “‘Ọ bụrụ na i nwere ike’? Ihe niile pụrụ ime nʼebe onye kwere ekwe nọ.”
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”
Ngwangwa, nna nwata ahụ tiri mkpu sị, “Ekweere m, biko nyere ekweghị ekwe m aka!”
25 When Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!”
Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ na igwe mmadụ na-agba ọsọ na-abịa nʼebe ahụ, ọ baara mmụọ ahụ na-adịghị ọcha mba sị, “Gị mmụọ ọjọọ ntị ike na ịda ogbi, ana m enye gị iwu, site nʼime nwata a pụta! Abanyekwala nʼime ya ọzọ!”
26 After crying out and convulsing him greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead, so much that most of them said, “He is dead.”
O tiri mkpu nʼoke olu, nugharịa nwata ahụ nke ukwuu ma site nʼime ya pụta. Nwata ahụ tọgbọrọ nʼala dị ka onye nwụrụ anwụ nke mere na ndị niile nọ nʼebe ahụ sịrị, “Ọ nwụọla!”
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up; and he arose.
Ma Jisọs jidere ya nʼaka selite ya elu, mee ka o guzo nʼụkwụ ya. O guzokwara.
28 When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we cast it out?”
Ma mgbe ọ banyere nʼime ụlọ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya jụrụ ya na nzuzo sị, “Gịnị mere o jiri siere anyị ike ịchụpụ ya?”
29 He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.”
Ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ bụ naanị site nʼike ekpere ka a pụrụ ịchụpụ ụdị a.”
30 They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He didn’t want anyone to know it,
Ha siri nʼebe ahụ pụọ gafee Galili. Ọ chọghị ka onye ọbụla mata maka ya,
31 for he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, “The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again.”
nʼihi na ọ na-ezi ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ihe. Ọ sịrị ha, “A ga-arara Nwa nke Mmadụ nye nʼaka ụmụ mmadụ, ha ga-egbukwa ya ma ọ ga-ebili nʼọnwụ mgbe mkpụrụ ụbọchị atọ gasịrị.”
32 But they didn’t understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
Ma ha aghọtaghị ihe ọ na-agwa ha. Egwu tụkwara ha ị jụ banyere ya.
33 He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”
Emesịa, ha bịaruru Kapanọm. Mgbe ọ banyere nʼụlọ, ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Gịnị ka unu na-arụrịta ụka banyere ya nʼokporoụzọ?”
34 But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.
Ma ha gbara nkịtị, nʼihi na ha rụrịtara ụka nʼokporoụzọ banyere onye dị ukwuu karịa ibe ya.
35 He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”
Ọ nọdụrụ ala kpọọ mmadụ iri na abụọ ahụ, sị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla chọrọ ịbụ onye mbụ, ọ ghaghị ịbụ onye ikpeazụ, bụrụkwa onye na-ejere mmadụ niile ozi.”
36 He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
Mgbe ahụ o kuuru otu nwantakịrị mee ka o guzoro nʼetiti ha. O kuuru nwata ahụ nʼaka ya sị ha,
37 “Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”
“Onye ọbụla nabatara otu nʼime ụmụntakịrị ndị a nʼaha m, na-anabata m. Ma onye ọbụla nabatara m, ọ bụghị m ka ọ nabatara, kama ọ na-anabata onye zitere m.”
38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow us.”
Jọn sịrị ya, “Onye ozizi, anyị hụrụ otu onye na-achụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ nʼaha gị, ma anyị gbalịrị igbochi ya nʼihi na ọ bụghị otu onye nʼime anyị.”
39 But Jesus said, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
Ma Jisọs gwara ha sị, “Unu egbochila ya, nʼihi na onye ọbụla ji aha m na-arụ ọrụ ebube agaghị ekwu okwu ọjọọ megide m.
40 For whoever is not against us is on our side.
Nʼihi na onye ọbụla na-adịghị emegide anyị dịnyeere anyị.
41 For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ’s, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.
Nʼeziokwu asị m unu, onye ọbụla ga-ekunye unu otu iko mmiri nʼaha m, nʼihi na unu bụ ndị nke Kraịst, ga-anatakwa ụgwọ ọrụ ya.
42 “Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.
“Ọ bụrụkwa na onye ọbụla emee ka otu nʼime ndị a dị nta kweere na m jehie, ọ ga-akara onye ahụ mma ma ọ bụrụ na e kenyere nkume igwe nri buru ibu nʼolu ya, tụnye ya nʼime oke osimiri.
43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
Ọ bụrụ na aka gị na-eme ka i jehie, gbupụ ya. Ọ ga-akara gị mma inwe ọrụsị baa na ndụ karịa inwe aka abụọ banye nʼọkụ ala mmụọ, ebe ọkụ ya na-adịghị anyụ anyụ; (Geenna g1067)
44 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
ebe “‘ikpuru ya na-adịghị anwụ anwụ, ọkụ ya adịghị anyụkwa anyụ.’
45 If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched— (Geenna g1067)
Ọ bụrụ na ụkwụ gị na-eme ka i jehie, gbupụ ya, tufukwaa ya, nʼihi na ọ ga-akara gị mma ịba na ndụ na ngwụrọ karịa inwe ụkwụ abụọ a tụnye gị nʼọkụ ala mmụọ; (Geenna g1067)
46 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
ebe “‘ikpuru ya na-adịghị anwụ anwụ, ọkụ ya adịghị anyụkwa anyụ.’
47 If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out. It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire, (Geenna g1067)
Ọ bụrụ na anya gị na-eme ka i jehie, ghụpụ ya. Ọ ga-akara gị mma na i nwere otu anya baa nʼalaeze Chineke, karịa inwe anya abụọ a tụnye gị nʼọkụ ala mmụọ, (Geenna g1067)
48 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
ebe “‘ikpuru ya na-adịghị anwụ anwụ, ọkụ ya adịghị anyụkwa anyụ.’
49 For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
A ga-eji ọkụ nụchaa onye ọbụla dị ka nnu.
50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
“Nnu dị mma, ma ọ bụrụ na ọ dịghị atọkwa ụtọ, olee ka ị ga-esi mee ka ọ tọọ ụtọ ọzọ? Ya mere, nweenụ nnu nʼime onwe unu. Unu na ibe unu biri nʼudo.”
