1 Nʼoge ọzọ, ọ banyere nʼụlọ ekpere, otu nwoke aka ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ nọkwa nʼebe ahụ.
He entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there whose hand was withered.
2 Ụfọdụ ha nọ na-achọ ụzọ ha ga-esi boo ya ebubo, ya mere ha lekwasịrị ya anya ịhụ ma ọ ga-agwọ ya ọrịa nʼụbọchị izuike.
They watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him.
3 Ma ọ gwara nwoke ahụ aka ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ sị, “Bilie guzoro nʼetiti ebe a.”
He said to the man whose hand was withered, “Stand up.”
4 Mgbe ahụ ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Olee nke ziri ezi nʼiwu ime nʼụbọchị izuike: ọ bụ ime ezi ihe ka ọ bụ ime ihe ọjọọ, ịzọpụta ndụ ka ọ bụ ịla ndụ nʼiyi?” Ma ha gbachiri nkịtị.
He said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good or to do harm? To save a life or to kill?” But they were silent.
5 O lere ha anya nʼiwe, o wutere ya nʼihi na obi ha kpọrọ nkụ. Ọ sịrị nwoke ahụ, “Setịpụ aka gị.” O setịpụrụ aka ya, aka ya dizikwara nke ọma.
When he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored as healthy as the other.
6 Ngwangwa, ndị Farisii sitere nʼebe ahụ pụọ nʼiwe. Gaa soro ndị otu Herọd gbaa izu otu ha ga-esi laa ya nʼiyi.
The Pharisees went out, and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
7 Ma Jisọs na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sitere nʼebe ahụ pụọ gaa nọdụ nʼakụkụ osimiri. Igwe mmadụ ndị sitere na Galili sooro ya.
Yeshua withdrew to the sea with his disciples; and a great multitude followed him from Galilee, from Judea,
8 Mgbe ha nụrụ ihe niile ọ na-eme, ọtụtụ mmadụ bịakwutere ya site na Judịa, na Jerusalem, na Idumia na obodo ndị dị nʼofe Jọdan, na gburugburu Taịa na Saịdọn.
from Jerusalem, from Idumaea, beyond the Jordan, and those from around Tyre and Sidon. A great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came to him.
9 Nʼihi ịdị ukwuu nke igwe mmadụ ahụ, ọ gwara ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ka ha debere ya ụgbọ mmiri nta nso ka ọ banye, iji gbochie igwe mmadụ ahụ ịkpagbu ya.
He spoke to his disciples that a little boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they wouldn’t press on him.
10 Nʼihi na ọ gwọọla ọtụtụ ndị ọrịa, nke mere na ndị bu ọrịa dị iche iche na-agbalịsị ike ịmetụ ya aka.
For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases pressed on him that they might touch him.
11 Mgbe ọbụla kwa ndị mmụọ na-adịghị ọcha bi nʼime ha hụrụ ya, ha na-ada nʼala nʼihu ya na-eti mkpu na-asị, “Ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke!”
The unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him and cried, “You are the Son of God!”
12 Ma ọ na-enyesi ha iwu ike ka ha hapụ ịkọwa onye ọ bụ.
He sternly warned them that they should not make him known.
13 Ọ rigooro nʼelu ugwu ma kpọrọ ndị ọ chọrọ nye onwe ya. Ha bịakwutekwara ya.
He went up into the mountain and called to himself those whom he wanted, and they went to him.
14 Ọ họpụtara mmadụ iri na abụọ ndị ya na ha ga-anọ, mee ha ndị ozi. Ndị ọ ga-ezipụ ikwusa oziọma,
He appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them out to proclaim

16 Ndị a bụ mmadụ iri na abụọ ndị ọ họpụtara. Saimọn (onye ọ kpọrọ Pita).

and Judah Iscariot, who also betrayed him. Then he came into a house.
20 Emesịa, ọ lọtara nʼụlọ, ma igwe mmadụ gbakọtakwara ọzọ nke mere na ha enweghị ohere iri nri.
The multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
21 Mgbe ndị ikwu ya nụrụ nke a, ha bịara gbalịa idulata ya nʼụlọ ha, nʼihi na ndị mmadụ na-asị, “Isi adịghị ya mma.”
When his friends heard it, they went out to seize him; for they said, “He is insane.”
22 Ma ndị ozizi iwu si Jerusalem bịa sịrị, “Mmụọ Belzebub bi nʼime ya! Ọ bụkwa nʼike onyeisi ndị mmụọ ọjọọ ka o ji achụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ.”
The scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebul,” and, “By the prince of the demons he casts out the demons.”
23 Ma ọ kpọrọ ha jiri ilu gwa ha okwu sị, “Ekwensu ọ pụrụ ịchụpụ ekwensu?
He summoned them and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan?
24 Ọ bụrụ na alaeze ekewa megide onwe ya alaeze ahụ apụghị iguzo.
If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25 Ọ bụrụ na ezinaụlọ ekewa megide onwe ya, ezinaụlọ ahụ apụghị iguzo.
If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
26 Ọ bụrụkwa na ekwensu ebilie megide onwe ya si otu a nwee nkewa, o nweghị ike iguzo; kama ọgwụgwụ oge ya abịala nso.
If Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he can’t stand, but has an end.
27 Nʼezie, ọ dịghị onye nwere ike ịbanye nʼụlọ nwoke dị ike kwakọrọ ngwongwo ya niile, ma o bughị ụzọ kee nwoke ahụ siri ike agbụ. Mgbe ahụ ọ ga-enwe ike ịbanye nʼụlọ ya, zukọrọ ngwongwo ya niile.
But no one can enter into the house of the strong man to plunder unless he first binds the strong man; then he will plunder his house.
28 Nʼezie agwa m unu, na a ga-agbaghara ụmụ mmadụ mmehie na nkwulu niile nke ha kwuru.
“Most certainly I tell you, all sins of the descendants of man will be forgiven, including their blasphemies with which they may blaspheme;
30 O kwuru nke a nʼihi na ha na-asị, “Mmụọ na-adịghị ọcha bi nʼime ya.”
—because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
31 Mgbe ahụ, nne ya na ụmụnne ya ndị nwoke bịara, guzoro nʼezi. Ha ziri ozi ka a kpọọ ya.
His mother and his brothers came, and standing outside, they sent to him, calling him.
32 Igwe mmadụ gbara ya gburugburu mgbe ahụ gwara ya sị, “Lee, nne gị na ụmụnne gị ndị nwoke na ndị nwanyị guzo nʼezi. Ha chọrọ ịhụ gị.”
A multitude was sitting around him, and they told him, “Behold, your mother, your brothers, and your sisters are outside looking for you.”
33 Ọ zara sị, “Onye bụ nne m, ndị ole bụkwa ụmụnne m ndị nwoke?”
He answered them, “Who are my mother and my brothers?”
34 Mgbe ahụ, o lere ndị nọ ya gburugburu anya ma sị, “Ndị a bụ nne m, na ụmụnne m ndị nwoke!
Looking around at those who sat around him, he said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!
35 Onye ọbụla na-eme uche Chineke bụ nwanne m nwoke, na nwanne m nwanyị, na nne m.”
For whoever does the will of God is my brother, my sister, and mother.”
