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.
When he entered again into Capernaum [Village-Comfort, Village-Compassion] after some days, it was heard that he was in the house.
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.
Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.
3 Sẽe la, ŋutsu ene aɖewo kɔ lãmetututɔ aɖe ɖe aba dzi gbɔna Yesu gbɔe.
Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.
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.
When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.
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!”
Yeshua [Salvation], seeing their trusting faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your abstract sins ·miss the marks· are forgiven you.”
6 Ke Yudatɔwo ƒe agbalẽfiala siwo nɔ afi ma la gblɔ le woƒe dzi me be,
But there were some of the Torah-Teachers sitting there, and reasoning 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 does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive abstract sins ·miss the marks· 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?
Immediately Yeshua [Salvation], perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason 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 tell the paralytic, ‘Your abstract sins ·miss the marks· are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, 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 that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive abstract sins ·miss the marks·”— he said to the paralytic—
11 “Mele egblɔm na wò be tsi tre! Ŋlɔ wò aba nàyi aƒe me!”
“I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to 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!”
He arose, and immediately took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
13 Yesu gado go yi ƒuta, eye wòfia nu ameha si kplɔe ɖo la.
He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude 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.
As he passed by, he saw Levi [United with], the son of Alphaeus [Changing], sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he arose and 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.
He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners ·devoted to missing the mark and without share in the goal· sat down with Yeshua [Salvation] and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.
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?”
The Torah-Teachers and the Pharisees [Separated], when they saw that he was eating with the sinners ·devoted to missing the mark and without share in the goal· and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners ·devoted to missing the mark and without share in the goal·?”
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.”
When Yeshua [Salvation] heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the upright, but sinners ·devoted to missing the mark and without share in the goal· to teshuvah ·complete repentance·.”
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.
John [Yah is gracious]’s disciples and the Pharisees [Separated] were fasting, and they came and asked him, “Why do John [Yah is gracious]’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees [Separated] fast, but your disciples don’t 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
Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can’t fast.
20 Gake ŋkeke aɖe li gbɔna, esi wole ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃ la kplɔ ge le wo gbɔ, ale woatsi nu adɔ.
But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day.
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 piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.
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.”
No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins.”
23 Gbe ɖeka le Dzudzɔgbe dzi esi Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo zɔ to bligble aɖe me yina la, nusrɔ̃lawo ŋe bli aɖewo heɖu.
He was going on the Sabbath ·To cease· day through the grain fields, and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.
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?”
The Pharisees [Separated] said to him, “Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath ·To cease· day?”
25 Eɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ɖe miexlẽ nu si David kple eŋumewo wɔ, esi dɔ wu wo, eye woɖo xaxa me kpɔ oa?
He said to them, “Did you never read what David [Beloved] did, when he had need, and was hungry— 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 entered into God’s house when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the show bread from the altar of Yahweh, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also 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.
He said to them, “The Sabbath ·To cease· was made for man, not man for the Sabbath ·To cease·.
28 Gawu la, ŋusẽ le Amegbetɔ Vi la si ɖe Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la dzi.”
Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath ·To cease·.”
