Markus 2
1 Da ya dawo Kafarnahum bayan yan kwanaki kadan, aka ji cewa yana gida.
[Jesus and his disciples] returned to Capernaum [town]. A few days later, because it was {people} heard that Jesus was in [his] house,
2 Da yawa suka taru a can, ba wuri har kofa, sai Yesu ya yi masu magana.
many people gathered there. As a result, [after the people filled the house], there was no longer space to stand [in the house or outside] around the doorway. Jesus preached [God’s] message to them.
3 Sai wadansu mutane su ka zo wurinsa dauke da wuni mutum shanyayye, mutane hudu na dauke da shi.
Some people came to the house bringing to Jesus a man who was paralyzed. He was carried by four men {Four men carried [him]} [on a sleeping pad].
4 Lokacin da ba su iya zuwa kusa da shi ba domin yawan jama'a, sai su ka daye jinkar dakin daidai da inda ya ke. Bayan da suka huda ramin suka saukar da gado wanda shanyayyen ke kwance a kai.
They were not able to bring the man to Jesus because there was a crowd there. So they [went up the steps to the flat roof and] removed [some of] the tiles [above] where Jesus was. Then, after they made a [big] hole in the roof, they lowered [by ropes] the sleeping pad on which the paralyzed man lay. They lowered [it through the hole, down in front of Jesus].
5 Da ganin bangaskiyarsu, Yesu ya ce wa shanyayyen mutumin, “Da, an gafarta maka zunuban ka”.
After Jesus perceived that the men believed [that he could heal this man], he said to the paralyzed man, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
6 Amma wadansu marubuta da ke zaune a nan, suka yi tunani aransu.
There were some men who taught [the Jewish] laws sitting there. They started thinking like this:
7 Yaya wannan mutum zai yi magana haka? Ya yi sabo! wa ke iya gafarta zunubi “sai Allah kadai?”
“(Who does this man think he is, talking like that/This man shouldn’t talk like that!) [RHQ]? (He is insulting God!/Does he think he is God?) [RHQ] (No person can forgive sins!/Who can forgive sins?) [RHQ] Only God can forgive sins!”
8 Nan da nan Yesu ya sani a ruhunsa, abinda suke tunani a tsakaninsu. Ya ce masu, “Me ya sa kuke tunanin wannan a zuciyarku?
Jesus sensed that they were deliberating like that within themselves. So he said to them, “(You should not question within yourselves [whether I have the right to forgive this man’s sins]!/Why do you question [whether I have the right to forgive this man’s sins]?) [RHQ]
9 Me yafi sauki a cewa shanyayyen mutumin, 'An gafarta maka zunuban ka' ko kwa a ce masa, 'tashi, ka dauki shinfidarka, ka yi tafiyarka'?
It is [not risky] [RHQ] for someone to tell the man who is paralyzed, ‘Your sins are forgiven {[I] forgive your sins},’ [because no one can prove that it has happened]. But no one would say to him, ‘Get up, pick up your stretcher, and then walk away’, [unless he really had the power to heal him, because people can easily see whether it happens or not].
10 Amma domin ku san cewa Dan mutum na da ikon gafarta zunubi a duniya, ya ce wa shanyayyen,
So I [will do something] in order that you may know that [God] has authorized me, the one who came from heaven, to forgive sins on earth [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the paralyzed man,
11 ''Na ce maka, tashi, dauki tabarmanka, ka tafi gidan ka.”
“To you I say, ‘Get up! Pick up your sleeping pad! And then go home!’”
12 Sai nan da nan ya tashi ya dauki tabarmarsa, ya fita gidan a gabansu, dukansu su ka yi mamaki, su ka girmama Allah, ''suka ce ba mu taba ganin abu irin wannan ba.”
The man stood up immediately! He picked up the sleeping pad, and then he went away, while all the people [there] were watching. They were all amazed, and they praised God and said, “We have never before seen anything like [what happened] just now!”
13 Ya sake fita gefen tafki, dukan taron jama'a suka zo wurinsa, sai ya koya masu.
Jesus left [Capernaum town again and walked with his disciples] alongside [Galilee] lake. A large crowd came to him. Then he taught them.
14 Sa'adda ya na wucewa, ya ga Levi dan Halfa yana zaune a wurin karbar haraji, sai ya ce masa, “Ka biyo ni.” Ya tashi, ya bi shi.
As he walked on further, he saw a man named Levi, whose other name was Matthew, and whose father’s name was Alpheus. He was sitting in his office where he collected taxes [for the Roman government]. Jesus said to him, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!” So he got up and went with Jesus.
15 Sa'adda Yesu ya shiga gidan Levi yana cin abinci, masu karbar haraji da masu zunubi da yawa su ka zo wurinsa da almajiransa, jama'a masu yawan gaske suka ka bi shi.
[Later], Jesus was eating a meal in Levi’s house. Many men who collected taxes and [other] people who were [considered to be] sinning regularly were eating with Jesus and his disciples. [This was not surprising], for there were many people like this who were going [everywhere] with Jesus.
16 Da Marubuta wadanda su ke Farisawa, sun ga cewa Yesu na cin abinci da masu zunubi da masu karbar haraji, sai su ka ce wa almajiransa, “Me ya sa ya ke ci da masu karbar haraji da mutane masu zunubi?”
The [men who taught the Jewish] laws [who were there] and who were members of the Pharisee [sect] saw that Jesus was eating with men who collected taxes and [others who were considered] {[whom they considered]} [to be] sinners. So they said to his disciples, “(It is disgusting that he eats with [such disgusting] men as those who collect taxes, and with [other] sinners!/Why is it that he eats with [such disgusting] men as those who collect taxes, and with [other] sinners?)” [RHQ]
17 Da Yesu ya ji wannan ya ce masu, “Mutane wadanda ke da lafiya a jiki ba su bukatar likita; sai dai ko marasa lafiya ke bukatarsa. Ban zo domin in kira mutane masu a dalci ba, amma mutane masu zunubi.”
After Jesus heard [what they were saying], he said to the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, “People who [consider that they] are well do not seek a doctor. On the contrary, it is those who are sick [who seek a doctor] [MET]!” [This he said to indicate that it was those who knew that they had sinned who were coming to him in order that he might help them spiritually]. And he said, “I did not come to invite people [who think that] [IRO] they are righteous [to come to me and turn from their sinful behavior]. On the contrary, I came [from heaven to invite] people who [know that they] are sinners, [in order that they might turn from their sins and come to me].”
18 Almajiran Yahaya da Farisawa suna azumi, sai wadansu mutane suka zo suka ce, “Don me almajiran Yahaya da almajiran Farisawa na azumi amma na ka almajiran ba su yi?”
The disciples of John [the Baptizer] and some men who belonged to the Pharisee [sect] used to abstain from food [to show that they wanted to please God]. One day, some people came [to Jesus] and asked him [critically], “The disciples of John and the Pharisees (fast/abstain from food) [from time to time], but your disciples do not. [We think they should abstain from food also. What do you say about that] [RHQ]?”
19 Sai Yesu yace masu, “Abokan ango, za su yi azumi sa'adda ango yake tare da su? muddin suna tare da ango ba za su yi azumi ba.
[Jesus wanted them to understand that it was not appropriate for his disciples to show sorrow by abstaining from food while he was still with them]. So he said to them, “When a man is marrying a woman, his friends will certainly not abstain from food while he is still with them, will they [RHQ]? No. During the time that he is with them, they will not abstain from food [because they are happy together].
20 Amma kwanaki za su zo da za a dauki angon daga gare su, a wadancan kwanakin ne, za su yi azumi.
But some day, he will be taken away {his [enemies] will take him away} from them. Then, in those days, they will abstain from food, [because they will be sad].”
21 Babu wanda zai dinka sabuwar riga ya hada ta da tsohuwar riga, sai rigar ta yage, kuma ta yi mummunar yagewa.
[Jesus wanted to show that those who desire to live in accordance with his new message should not try to continue to obey the old religious traditions like fasting. So he also said to them], “People do not sew a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment [in order to mend a hole]. If they did that, [when they washed the garment, the patch would shrink] and the new [piece of cloth] would tear off more of the old cloth. As a result, the hole would become bigger!
22 Babu wanda zai sa sabon ruwan inabi a cikin tsohuwar salka, ai sai salkar ta fashe kuma ruwan inabin ya zube. duka biyu ruwan inabin da salkar arasa su. A maimakon haka, sai ka sanya sabon ruwan inabi cikin sabuwar salka.”
[Similarly], people do not put newly [squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If they did that, that juice will burst the skin bags [because they would not stretch when the wine ferments and expands]. As a result both the wine and the skin bags would be ruined! On the contrary, people must put new wine into new skin bags!” [MET]
23 A ranar asabar Yesu ya tafi cikin gonakin hatsi, sai almajiransa su ka fara zagar hatsi,
On one (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) Jesus was walking through some grain fields with his disciples. As they were walking along [through the grain fields], the disciples were plucking some of the heads of grain. [They rubbed them in their hands to remove the chaff, and were eating the grain. The laws of Moses permitted people to do that if they were hungry].
24 Sai Farisawa su ka ce masa, “Duba, don me suke yin abin da bai dace a yi ranar Asabar ba?”
[Some of] the Pharisees [saw them doing what they considered to be work. So they] said to him, “Look! (They should not be doing on our (Sabbath day/day of rest) [work] that our laws forbid!/Why are they doing on our (Sabbath day/day of rest) [work] that our laws forbid?) [RHQ]”
25 Yace masu, Ba ku karanta ba abinda Dauda ya yi sa'adda yake jin yunwa, shi da mutanen da ke tare da shi?
[Jesus wanted to show them that the record in the Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food]. So he said to them, “[It is written in the Scriptures] what [our revered ancestor, King] David, did when he needed food, and both he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, but ([you do not think about what it implies./why do you not think about what it implies]?) [RHQ]
26 Yadda ya shiga gidan Ubangiji, sa'adda Abiyata ya ke babban firist, ya ci gurasa da ke ta firist wadda bai dace wani ya ci ba sai Firistoci. Har kuma ya ba wadanda ke tare da shi.”
During the time Abiathar was high priest, David entered the big tent [where people worshipped] God [and asked for some bread. The high priest gave him some] of the loaves of bread. That bread was the bread he had presented to God. It was permitted in one of Moses’ laws that only the priests could eat that bread! But David ate some of it. Then he also gave some of it to the men who were with him. [But God did not consider that was wrong!]”
27 Yesu yace, “Asabar an yi ta don mutum ne, ba a yi mutum don Asabar ba.
Jesus said to them further, “[God] established (the day of rest/the Sabbath day) [to help] people! He did not create people to [obey rules about] (the Sabbath/the day of rest)!
28 Saboda haka, Dan Mutum Ubangiji ne, har da na Asabar.”
And [think about this]: I am the one who came from heaven. So I have the authority [to determine what is right for my disciples to do] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day)!”
