Marko 2
1 Le ŋkeke aɖewo megbe la, Yesu gatrɔ yi Kapernaum. Esi wòɖo afi ma la, eƒe ŋkɔ ɖi hoo le du blibo la me le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko me.
And after some days, he again entered into Capernaum.
2 Medidi kura hafi aƒe si me wònɔ la yɔ fũu kple amewo o. Aƒea me yɔ ale gbegbe be nɔƒe aɖeke meganɔ ʋɔtrua nu hã o. Yesu de asi mawunyagbɔgblɔ me na ameha la.
And it was heard that he was in the house. And so many gathered that there was no room left, not even at the door. And he spoke the word to them.
3 Sẽe la, ŋutsu ene aɖewo kɔ lãmetututɔ aɖe ɖe aba dzi gbɔna Yesu gbɔe.
And they came to him, bringing a paralytic, who was being carried by four men.
4 Ke le amewo ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ ta la, womete ŋu ɖo egbɔ o. Le esia ta woyi ɖaɖe do ɖe xɔ si me Yesu nɔ la tame, heɖiɖi dɔnɔ la kple eƒe aba ɖe ekɔme.
And when they were not able to present him to him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was. And opening it, they lowered down the stretcher on which the paralytic was lying.
5 Yesu kpɔ be ŋutsu eneawo xɔe se vevie be yeate ŋu ayɔ dɔ wo nɔvi la, eya ta egblɔ na dɔnɔ la be, “Vinye, wotsɔ wò nu vɔ̃wo ke wò!”
Then, when Jesus had seen their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
6 Ke Yudatɔwo ƒe agbalẽfiala siwo nɔ afi ma la gblɔ le woƒe dzi me be,
But some of the scribes were sitting in that place and thinking in their hearts:
7 “Nu ka! Ame sia gblɔ busunya! Ɖe wòbu be Mawue yenyea? Menya be Mawu ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ koe ate ŋu atsɔ nu vɔ̃wo ake oa?”
“Why is this man speaking in this way? He is blaspheming. Who can forgive sins, but God alone?”
8 Yesu nya nu si bum ameawo nɔ, eya ta egblɔ na wo enumake be, “Aleke wɔ nuwɔna sia ɖe fu na miaƒe susuwo alea?
At once, Jesus, realizing in his spirit that they were thinking this within themselves, said to them: “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?
9 Kae bɔbɔ wu, be woagblɔ na lãmetututɔ la be, ‘Wotsɔ wò nu vɔ̃wo ke wò loo alo woagblɔ nɛ be, “Tso, kɔ wò aba ne nàzɔ azɔli?”’
Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up, take up your stretcher, and walk?’
10 Be miadze sii be wona ŋusẽ Amegbetɔ Vi la be wòatsɔ nu vɔ̃ ake le anyigba dzi.” Egblɔ na lãmetututɔ la be,
But so that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he said to the paralytic:
11 “Mele egblɔm na wò be tsi tre! Ŋlɔ wò aba nàyi aƒe me!”
“I say to you: Rise up, take up your stretcher, and go into your house.”
12 Ŋutsu la tso enumake, kɔ eƒe aba, eye wòzɔ to ameawo dome dzo. Ameawo katã ƒe nu ku. Wokafu Mawu, eye wogblɔ be, “Míekpɔ naneke teƒe alea kpɔ o!”
And immediately he got up, and lifting up his stretcher, he went away in the sight of them all, so that they all wondered. And they honored God, by saying, “We have never seen anything like this.”
13 Yesu gado go yi ƒuta, eye wòfia nu ameha si kplɔe ɖo la.
And he departed again to the sea. And the entire crowd came to him, and he taught them.
14 Esi wòzɔ yina la, eva ke ɖe Levi, Alfeo ƒe vi ŋu wònɔ anyi ɖe dugadzɔƒe. Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Va dze yonyeme.” Levi tso enumake, eye wòdze Yesu yome.
And as he was passing by, he saw Levi of Alphaeus, sitting at the customs office. And he said to him, “Follow me.” And rising up, he followed him.
15 Le fiẽ me la, Levi kpe Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be woava ɖu nu le yeƒe aƒe me. Dugadzɔlawo kple nu vɔ̃ wɔla geɖewo hã nɔ ame siwo wòkpe la dome, elabena ame siawo ƒomevi hã nɔ Yesu yome.
And it happened that, as he sat at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners sat at table together with Jesus and his disciples. For those who followed him were many.
16 Agbalẽfiala siwo tso Farisitɔwo dome la kpɔ Yesu wònɔ nu ɖum kple dugadzɔlawo kple nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo, ale wobia eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo fewuɖutɔe be, “Nu ka ta miaƒe Aƒetɔ le nu ɖum kple nu vɔ̃ wɔla kple dugadzɔla siawo ɖo?”
And the scribes and the Pharisees, seeing that he ate with tax collectors and sinners, said to his disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
17 Yesu se nya siwo gblɔm wonɔ la, ale wògblɔ na wo be, “Menye lãmesesẽtɔwoe hiã gbedala o, ke boŋ dɔnɔwoe. Menye ame dzɔdzɔewo ta meva ɖo o, ke boŋ nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo ta, be woadzudzɔ nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ.”
Jesus, having heard this, said to them: “The healthy have no need of a doctor, but those who have maladies do. For I came not to call the just, but sinners.”
18 Yohanes ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo kple Farisitɔwo tsia nu dɔna ɣe aɖewo ɣi. Gbe ɖeka esi wogatsi nu dɔ alea la, ame aɖewo va Yesu gbɔ va bia nu si ta eya ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo metsia nu dɔna o ɖo.
And the disciples of John, and the Pharisees, were fasting. And they arrived and said to him, “Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?”
19 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ɖe wòle be ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃ xɔlɔ̃wo natsi nu adɔ, agbe nuɖuɖu le eƒe srɔ̃ɖekplɔ̃ ŋua? Gbeɖe, zi ale si ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃ la le wo gbɔ ko la, womatsi nu adɔ o
And Jesus said to them: “How can the sons of the wedding fast while the groom is still with them? During whatever time they have the groom with them, they are not able to fast.
20 Gake ŋkeke aɖe li gbɔna, esi wole ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃ la kplɔ ge le wo gbɔ, ale woatsi nu adɔ.
But the days will arrive when the groom will be taken away from them, and then they shall fast, in those days.
21 “Menyo be woatsɔ avɔnuɖeɖi yeye aka avɔ vuvu o, elabena ne wowɔe alea la, avɔ yeye la aho ɖa le teƒe la, eye teƒe si vuvu la alolo ɖe edzi wu.
No one sews a patch of new cloth onto an old garment. Otherwise, the new addition pulls away from the old, and the tear becomes worse.
22 Womekɔa aha yeye hã ɖe lãgbalẽgolo xoxo me o, elabena ne wowɔ esia la, aha yeye la ƒe ŋusẽ ana be lãgbalẽgolo la nawó, eye aha la kple lãgbalẽgolo la katã dome agblẽ. Lãgbalẽgolo yeye mee wòle be woakɔ aha yeye ɖo.”
And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the wineskins, and the wine will pour out, and the wineskins will be lost. Instead, new wine must be put into new wineskins.”
23 Gbe ɖeka le Dzudzɔgbe dzi esi Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo zɔ to bligble aɖe me yina la, nusrɔ̃lawo ŋe bli aɖewo heɖu.
And again, while the Lord was walking through the ripe grain on the Sabbath, his disciples, as they advanced, began to separate the ears of grains.
24 Farisitɔ aɖewo kpɔ wo, eye wobia Yesu be, “Nu ka ta wole nu si mele se nu o la wɔm le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke dzi ɖo?”
But the Pharisees said to him, “Behold, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbaths?”
25 Eɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ɖe miexlẽ nu si David kple eŋumewo wɔ, esi dɔ wu wo, eye woɖo xaxa me kpɔ oa?
And he said to them: “Have you never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry, both he and those who were with him?
26 Esi Abiata nye nunɔlagã la, David yi ɖe Mawu ƒe aƒe la me eye wòtsɔ abolo tɔxɛ si wotsɔ ɖo Mawu ŋkume la, eye eya kple etɔwo mae heɖu, togbɔ be mele se nu be ame aɖeke naɖu abolo sia o, negbe nunɔlawo ko.”
How he went into the house of God, under the high priest Abiathar, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it was not lawful to eat, except for the priests, and how he gave it to those who were with him?”
27 Egblɔ yi edzi be, “Dzudzɔgbe ŋkekea la, ɖe woɖoe anyi be wòaɖe vi na ame, menye be ame nazu kluvi na Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la o.
And he said to them: “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.
28 Gawu la, ŋusẽ le Amegbetɔ Vi la si ɖe Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la dzi.”
And so, the Son of man is Lord, even of the Sabbath.”
