uMarko 10
1 uYesu ai uhegile i kianza nikanso nu kulongola mu mukoa nua Ayahudi ni kianza nika ntongeela a mongo nua Yordani, hangi anyianza akamutyata hangi. Ai uamanyisilye hangi, anga nai yatulaa ntendo akwe kituma.
Jesus left (that place/Capernaum) [with his disciples], and they went through Judea district and on across [to the east side of] the Jordan [River]. When crowds gathered around him again, he taught them again, as he customarily did.
2 Hangi i Afarisayo akapembya kumugema hangi akamukolya, “Ingi taine ku mugoha kutemanuka nu musungu nuakwe?”
[While he was teaching them, some] Pharisees approached him and asked him, “Does [our Jewish] law permit a man to divorce his wife?” They asked that in order to be able to criticize him [whether he answered “yes” or “no”].
3 uYesu aka asukiilya “uMusa ai umulagiiye ntuni?”
He answered them, “What did Moses command your [ancestors about a man divorcing his wife]?”
4 Akaligitya, “uMusa ai ulekee kukilisa ibada nila kutemanuka hangi kumuzunsa u musungu.”
[One of] them replied, “Moses permitted that a man may write on paper [his reason] for divorcing [his wife], [give this paper to her], and then send her away.”
5 “Ingi ku nsoko a ukaku nua nkolo nianyu yiyo ndogoelyo ai umukilisiiye ilagiilo ili.” uYesu ai uatambuie.
Jesus said to them, “It was because your [ancestors] stubbornly wanted just what they desired that Moses wrote that law for [your ancestors], and you [are just like them]!
6 “Kuiti kupuma u ng'wandyo nua u umbwa, 'Itunda ai ua umbile mugoha nu musungu.'
[Remember] that he [also wrote that, when God] first created [people], he made [one] man, and [one] woman [to become that man’s wife].
7 Ku nsoko iyi u mitunja ukumuleka u tata nuakwe nu nyinya nuakwe ukuambinkana nu mukima nuakwe,
That explains why [God said], ‘When a man [and] woman marry, they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers [after they marry].
8 hangi awo nia biili akutula muili ung'wi; ku nsoko shanga a biili hangi, ila muili ung'wi.
Instead, the two of them shall [live together, and they shall] become so [closely united] [MET] [that they are like] one person.’ Therefore, although the people [who marry] were two [separate persons] before, [God regards them] as one person now, [so he wants them to remain married].
9 Ku lulo nuika kiambinkania Itunda, u ng'wana adamu waleke kukitemanula.”
Because that is true, a man must not separate from his [wife] whom God has joined [to him, because God’s plan is for them to remain together]!”
10 Nai akatula mukati ito, amanyisigwa akwe akamukolya hangi kutula ili.
When Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, they asked him again about this.
11 Aka atambuila, “Wihi nuimulekaa umusungu nuakwe nu kutina musungu mungiiza, wituaa ugoolya ku ng'wakwe.
He said to them, “[God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, so he considers] that any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, [even] if he divorces his first wife.
12 Umusungu nu ng'wenso aga wamuleke u mugoha nuakwe nu kutinwa nu mugoha mungiiza, ukituma ugoolya.”
[God also considers] a woman who divorces her first husband to be committing adultery if she marries another man.”
13 Ni enso ai amuletee ang'yinya niao nia niino iti waatenie, kuiti amanyisigwa aka apatya.
[One day], some people were bringing children to Jesus in order that he would touch [and bless] them. But the disciples scolded those people [because they thought that Jesus] ([did not want to be bothered spending time with/was not concerned about]) [children].
14 Kuiti uYesu nai ulilingile nilanso, Shanga akaloeligwa ni lyenso lukulu aka aila, “Alekeli i ang'yinya nia niino aze kitalane, hangi leki kuagilyi, ku nsoko niili anga awa u utemi nuang'wa Itunda ingi wao.
When Jesus saw that, he became angry. He said to the [disciples], “Allow the children to come to me! Do not forbid them [DOU]! It is people who [are humble and trust as they do] who can experience (God’s rule [in their lives]/God taking care of them) [MET].
15 I tai kumutambuila, wihi nishanga uku usingiilya u utemi nuang'wa Itunda anga mung'yinya nu muniino kulu kuulu shanga uhumile kingila mu utemi nuang'wa Itunda.
Note this: Those who do not [trustingly] allow God to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the place where God rules.”
16 Uugwa aka ahola i ang'yinya mu mikono akwe nu kuakendepa waze aikiilya mikono akwe migulya ao.
Then he embraced the children. He also put his hands on them [and asked God to] bless them.
17 Hangi nai wakandya muhinzo nuakwe muntu ung'wi ai umu mankiie hangi akatugama ntongeela akwe, aka mukolya, “Ng'walimu Mukende, nitume ntuni iti nihume kusala u upanga nua kali na kali?” (aiōnios g166)
As Jesus was starting to travel [again with his disciples], a [young] man ran up to him. He knelt before Jesus and then he asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to have eternal life/in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
18 Nu Yesu akaligitya, “Ku niki ukunintanga mukende? Kutili niiza mukende, kwaala Itunda wing'wene duu.
Jesus said to him, “(You should consider carefully [what you are implying] (OR, [that you are implying that I am God]) [by] calling me good, because only God is good!/Do you realize [what you are implying] (OR, [that you are implying that I am God]) [by] calling me good, because only God is good?) [RHQ] No other person is good
19 U malingile i malagiilyo; Leka kubulaga, Leka kugoolya, Leka kia, Leka ku kuiila u uteele, Leka kukongela, Mukulye u tata nu ia nuako.”
[But to answer your question], you know the commandments [of Moses, which will cause you to live eternally if you obey them perfectly]. He commanded [things such as] ‘do not murder anyone, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not (testify falsely/lie), do not cheat anyone, and honor your father and mother’.”
20 U muntu nuanso akaligitya, “Ng'walimu, aya ihi namakuiye puma nai nkoli ni muhumba.”
The man said to him, “Teacher, I have obeyed all those commandments ever since I was young. [So is] ([that enough/there something else that I have not done])?”
21 uYesu ai umugozee nu kumulowa. Akamutambuila, “Ukepewe kintu king'wi. Utakiwe kugulya yihi nuatuile ni nyenso nu kuinkiilya i aula, hangi ukutula ni itulyo kilunde. Uugwa upembye untyate.”
Jesus looked at him and loved him. He said to him, “There is one thing that you have not [yet done]. You must go [home], sell all that you possess, and then give [the money] to poor people. [As a result], you will be spiritually rich in heaven. After [you have done what I have told you], come with me [and be my disciple]!”
22 Kuiti aka hung'wa ukata kunsoko a uganulwa uwu; ai uhegile aze uhukilye, ku nsoko ai ukete nsao idu.
The man became disappointed when he heard that. He went away sad, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give away everything].
23 uYesu akihenga nkika yihi nu kua tambuila i amanyisigwa akwe, “Ingi kinya uli niyili ikaku ku mugoli kingila mu utemi nuang'wa Itunda!
Jesus looked around [at the people]. Then he exclaimed to his disciples, “It is very difficult for people who are wealthy to [decide to] let God rule their lives!”
24 Amanyisigwa ai akuiwe ku makani aya. Kuiti uYesu aka atambuila hangi, “Ang'yinya, ingi kinya uli ni yili ikaku kingia mu utemi nuang'wa Itunda!
The disciples were surprised at what he said. [They thought that God favored the rich people, so if God did not save them, he would not save anyone]. So Jesus replied again to them, “My dear friends, it is very difficult for anyone [to decide] to let God rule his life.
25 Ingi itontu ku ngamia kingila mu nzuunki a lusinge, kukila muntu nu mugoli kingila mu utemi nuang'wa Itunda.”
It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is almost as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
26 Ai akuiwe nangaluu hangi akitambullya, “Iti gwa nyenyu ukugunika”
The disciples were very astonished. So they said to each other, “If that is so, (it will be unlikely that anyone will be saved {that God will save anyone}!/will [God] save anyone?) [RHQ]”
27 uYesu aka agoza nu kuligitya, “Kung'wa bina adamu shanga ihumikile, kuiti shanga kung'wa Itunda. Ku nsoko mung'wa Itunda ihi ahumikile.”
Jesus looked at them and then he said, “[Yes], it is impossible for people [to save themselves]! But God certainly can [save them], because God can do anything!”
28 uPetro akandya kuligitya nu ng'wenso, “Goza kulekile yihi hangi kakutyata.”
Peter exclaimed, “[You know that] we have left behind everything and we have become your disciples. [So], ([what about us/will God (accept us/reward us)])?”
29 uYesu akaligitya, “I tai kumuila unyenye, kutili nualekilee ito ang'wi heu, ang'wi muluna musungu, ang'wi nyinya, ang'wi tata, ang'wi ana, ang'wi mugunda, ku nsoko ane, ni kunsoko a nkani ni nziza,
Jesus replied, “I want you to know this: Those who have left [their] houses, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, [their] father, [their] mother, [their] children, or [their] plots of ground, to [be] my [disciples] and to [proclaim] the good news,
30 naize shanga ukusingiilya nkua igana ikilo a itungili papa mi ihi; Ito, heu, muluna musungu, nyinya, ana, nu mugunda, ku lwago, nu unkumbigulu nu upembilye, upanga mua kali na kali. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
will receive in this life 100 times as much [as they left behind. That will include houses and people as dear as] brothers and sisters and mothers and children, and plots of ground. Furthermore, although people will persecute them [here on earth because they believe in me], in the future age [they] will ([have] eternal life/live [with God] eternally). (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
31 Kuiti idu niaile ang'wandyo akutula a ng'wisho hang ni aile a ng'wisho akutula a ng'wandyo.”
But I [warn you all]: Many of you who [now consider yourselves] to be very important will be unimportant [at that future time], and many of you who [now consider yourselves] to be unimportant will be very important [at that future time]!”
32 Nai atula munzila, kulongola ku Yerusalemu, uYesu ai watulaa utongee ntogeela ao. Amanyisigwa ai akuiwe, hangi awo nai atulaa atyatile ku nyuma ai itumbile. Uugwa uYesu akaapumya ku mpelo hangi awo ni ikumi na abiili nu kandya kuatambuila naiza kikumupumila iti pakupi;
[Some days later as they continued to travel], Jesus and his disciples were walking on the road that leads up to Jerusalem [city]. Jesus was walking ahead of them. [The disciples/apostles] were astonished [that he was going to where there were many people who opposed him], and the other people who were with them were afraid [about what would happen to him in Jerusalem. Along the way he took the twelve disciples to a place by themselves]. Then he began to tell them again about what was going to happen to him, saying,
33 Goza, kulongoe kupikiila ku Yerusalemu, nu Ng'wana nuang'wa Adamu ukupikigwa ku akuhani ni akulu ni amanyi. Akumulamula washe hangi akumupumya ku anyaigu.
“Listen carefully! We are going up to Jerusalem. There the chief priests and the men who teach the Jewish laws will be enabled {someone will help the chief priests and those who teach our [Jewish] laws} to seize me. Then they will declare that I must die, [even though] I am the one who came from heaven. Then they will take me to the Roman [authorities].
34 Akumukuna, akumutyila i mate, akumukua milanga, hangi akumubulaga. Kuiti ze yakilaa mahiku ataatu ukiuka.”
Those men will ridicule me. They will spit on me. They will (scourge me/whip me with a leaded whip.) Then they will kill me. But on the third day after that, I will become alive again!”
35 uYakobo nu Yohana, ana ang'wa Zebedayo, ai azile kitalakwe nu kumutambuila, “Ng'walimu, kuloilwe ukutendeele kihi ni ku ukulompa.”
[Along the way], James and John, [who were] the two sons of Zebedee, approached Jesus and they said to him, “Teacher, please do for us what we will ask you to do!”
36 Ai uatambuie, “Muloilwe numutendeele ntuni?”
He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
37 Akaligitya, “Ukugombye kikie nu ewe mi ikulyo nilako, ung'wi mu mukono nuako nua kigoha nu muya mukono nuako nua ki kima.”
They said to him, “When you [rule] gloriously, [let us rule with you]. Let one of us [sit] at your right side and one sit at your left side.”
38 Kuiti uYesu ai uasukiiye, “Shanga mulingile ni muku kilompa. Muhumilene kuking'wela i kikombe naiza kuking'wela ang'wi kugimya u wogigwa naza nikogigwa?”
But Jesus said to them, “You do not understand what you are asking for.” Then he asked them, “Can you endure suffering [MTY] like I am about to suffer? Can you endure being killed [MTY] as I will be killed {people killing you as they will kill me}?”
39 Akamutambuila, “Kuhumile” uYesu aka atambuila, “i kikombe ni nika king'wela, mu kuking'wela. Nu wogigwa naza kitalao nogigwe, muku ugimya.
They said to him, “[Yes], we are able [to do that]!” Then Jesus said to them, “[It is true that] you will endure suffering [MTY] like I will suffer, and you will endure being killed as I will be killed {people killing you as they will kill me}.
40 Kuiti nuikikie mukono nuane nua kigoha ang'wi nua kikima shanga nene nina kupumya, kuiti ingi ku awo naza kitalao yakondile kuzipiiligwa.”
But I am not the one who chooses the ones who will sit next to me [and rule with me. God will give] those places to the ones he appoints.”
41 Awo i amanyisigwa auya ikumi nai akija aya, akandya ku atakiila uYakobo nu Yohana.
The [other] ten [disciples later] heard about what James and John [had requested]. As a result, they were angry with them [because they also wanted to rule with Jesus in the highest positions].
42 uYesu akaitanga kitalakwe ku kuligitya, “Mulingile kina awo niasigile kina ahumi nia anyaingu i ahumaa, ni antu ao ni ahugu ia lagiila u uhumi migulya ao
Then, after Jesus called them all together, he said to them, “You know that those who rule the non-Jews [enjoy] showing that they are powerful. You also know that officials enjoy commanding others.
43 Kuiti shanga itakiwe kutula iti mukati anyu. Wihi nuloilwe kutula mukulu kati anyu kusinja nua muaiilye,
But do not be like them! On the contrary, all those among you who want [God to consider them] great must become [like] servants to [the rest of] you.
44 hangi wihi nuloilwe kutula wang'wandyo mu kati anyu ingi kusinja watule mutuung'wa nua ihi.
Furthermore, if anyone among you wants [God to consider him] to be the most important, he must [act like] a servant for the rest of you.
45 Ku nsoko uNg'wana nuang'wa Adamu shanga aza uzile kuailigwa ila kuailya, nu kulupumya u likalo nulakwe kutula usukiilya ku idu.”
[You should imitate me]. Even though I am the one who has come from heaven, I did not come to be served {for others to serve me}. On the contrary, I came in order to serve others and to allow others to kill me, in order that my dying for people would be like a payment to rescue [many people from being punished] {[God punishing them]} [for their sins].”
46 Akapembya ku Yeriko. Nai wakatula ukuhega ku Yeriko ni amanyisigwa akwe hangi idale ikulu, ng'wana nuang'wa Timayo, Batimayo, mupoku nuilompaa, ai wikie mpelo ipamda.
[On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus and the disciples came to Jericho town]. Afterwards, while they were leaving Jericho along with a great crowd, a blind man who habitually begged [for money] was sitting beside the road. His name was Bartimaeus and his father’s name was Timaeus.
47 Nai wakija kina ingi Yesu Munazareti, ai wandilye kuzogolya nu kuligitya, “Yesu, Ng'wana nuang'wa Daudi, mbaisiilye!”
When he heard people say that Jesus from Nazareth [was passing by], he shouted, “Jesus! [You who are the Messiah] descended from [King] David, (be merciful to/help) me!”
48 Idu ai amupatilye u mupoku uyo, aze mutambuila wakilage. Kuiti ai uliile ku luli ikilo, “Ng'wana nuang'wa Daudi, mbaisiilye!”
Many people rebuked him and told him that he should be quiet. But he shouted even more, “[You who are the Messiah] descended from [King David], (be merciful to/help) me!”
49 uYesu ai wimikile nu kulagiilya witangwe. Ai amitangle u mupoku uyo, azeligitya, Kina mukomoli! nyansuka! Yesu ukuitanga.”
Jesus stopped and said, “Call him [to come over here]!” They summoned the blind man, saying, “Jesus is calling you! So cheer up and get up [and come]!”
50 Akauguma ku mpelo u mujulungu nuakwe. akamanka ikilo, nu kupembya kung'wa Yesu.
He threw aside his cloak as he jumped up, and he came to Jesus.
51 uYesu akamusukiilya nu kuligitya, “Uloilwe nukutendele ntuni?” U mugoha uyo nu mupoku akasukiilya, “Ng'walimu, ndoilwe kihenga.”
Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Sir, I [want to be able] to see again!”
52 uYesu akamuila, “Longola, u uhuiili nuako wakuguna.” Papo paapo i miho akwe akihenga; hangi akamutyata uYesu mi ipanda.
Jesus said to him, “[I am] healing you [because] you believed [in me]. So you may go [home]!” He could see immediately. And he went with Jesus along the road.
