1 Mach ave, Jisasɨv we Yakŋ Ohɨrand marɨvai oramɨŋ ekwaŋg ahevomar. Ahevohe waz wɨram pamuh ñɨmar. Omanaka mbɨkɨr han mahoror kɨvahɨv arazɨŋgwɨz onsonz ñɨmar.
[On another] ([Sabbath/Jewish day of rest]), Jesus entered (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) again. There was a man there whose hand was shriveled.
2 Mach, wɨram untɨm Farisind hamb Jisasɨh ya oram hɨroŋɨn are ndɨn omanenton wehɨrɨmŋgɨmar. Jisasɨv Yakŋ Ohɨrand Yuŋk Wɨr Ñɨñɨnd haŋ wɨram kehan omanenta sɨz, omanaka mbɨkɨr hamb imbɨr ñɨndari han arɨ ndɨn kampɨhe kaŋarɨŋ arɨmŋgɨmar. Jisasɨv Yakŋ Ohɨrand Yuŋk Wɨr Ñɨñɨnd haŋ ntɨŋ ŋandɨŋi arar kaŋarɨŋ arɨmŋgɨmar.
[Some men of the Pharisee sect] watched him carefully in order to see whether he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this in order that [if he healed the man], they would accuse him of disobeying [their Jewish laws, because he worked] ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]).
3 Mbɨ Jisas werer ñɨmŋgɨzand Jisasɨv wɨram omanaka mahoror kɨvahɨnsɨnd han kamar. Amɨ ai uhɨm mbanaŋ aŋkwañɨmb amar.
Jesus said to the man whose hand was shriveled, “Stand up here in front of everyone!” [So the man stood up].
4 Mbɨ ai ñɨzand Jisasɨv wɨram untɨm Farisind han amarɨmar. Arɨ Yakŋ Ohɨrand Yuŋk Wɨr Ñɨñɨnd haŋ enta imbɨr sɨndɨrarɨŋ oh o arɨ enta kɨvah sɨndɨrarɨŋ oh amar. Arɨ wɨram pɨrasɨrɨŋ imbɨr ñɨndari oh o arɨ wɨram mamta orɨndɨrarɨŋ oh amar. Jisasɨv hanave kaz, wɨram untɨm Farisind hamb ya mɨkamŋgɨm.
Then Jesus said [to the Pharisees], “Do the laws [that God gave Moses] permit people to do good ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]), or do they permit people to do evil? Specifically, do his laws permit us to save a person’s life (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit us] to let him die [by refusing to help him]?” But they did not reply.
5 Az Jisasɨv ndɨŋ werer nde waz mbɨ entacha amamŋgɨz handɨv Jisasɨnd mpɨ hamb pɨraz ndɨŋ aŋkwɨ sɨmar. Ave mbɨ wɨram omanaka mahoror kɨvahɨnsɨnd han kamar. Omanaka amakɨr han irɨvɨr amamb amar. Az mbɨ mbɨkɨr omanaka han irɨvɨr amaz mach mbɨkɨr omanaka hamb imbɨrun ñɨmar.
He looked around at them angrily. He was very distressed that they were stubbornly [not wanting to help the man]. So he said to the man, “Reach out your hand!” When the man reached out his withered hand, his hand became all right again!
6 Avɨz wɨram untɨm Farisind hamb pams haŋon ŋondɨrahe Yakŋ Ohɨrand marɨvai oram han erere omŋgɨmar. We Herotɨnd untɨm men aŋkwezawi Jisas mamta ororndɨv ya orɨmŋgɨmar.
Then the Pharisees [decided to get rid of Jesus. So] after they left [the meeting house], they [immediately met with some of] the Jews who supported Herod [Antipas, who ruled Galilee district]. Together they planned how they could kill Jesus.
7 Mach, Jisasɨv sezɨrmen aiampɨra han erere yamb ohɨra ondɨhondɨh Galilind ampaŋam omŋgɨmar. Omŋgɨzand wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ isupɨr Galilind hamb ŋondɨrahe ndɨn mpehɨromŋgɨmar.

Jesus and his disciples left [that] town and went to an area further along [Galilee Lake in order to get away from the people]. But a great crowd of people followed him. They were people who came from Galilee [district],
from Jerusalem [city], from [other towns of] Judea [district], from Idumea [district], from [the region on] the [east] side of the Jordan [River], and from [the region] around Tyre and Sidon [cities]. This great crowd of people came to him because they heard about what he was doing.
9 Jisasɨv wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ mahororɨnsɨnd han omanenta sanj. Avɨz itɨ kɨvah hamb ndɨn waw hanaveam ndɨn pɨŋ ŋgorahɨrahɨr kwa aworɨmŋgɨŋg kamŋganj. Nan Yakŋ Ohɨrand nor arɨmŋganj.

Because he had healed many people, many [other] people who had various illnesses pushed forward in order that by touching him [they would come well]. So he told his disciples that they should get a small boat ready for him [to get in and teach from it]. He wanted to do this in order that the crowd would not crush him [when they pushed forward to touch him].
Whenever the evil spirits saw Jesus, [they caused the people whom they controlled] to fall down in front of Jesus [in recognition of Jesus’ power]. Then they exclaimed, “You are (the Son of God/the man who is also God)!”
He commanded the [evil spirits] strongly that they should not tell anyone who he was.
13 Mach, Jisasɨv aparɨmaŋ awarohe wɨram kɨra ensamaŋɨn are ramar han oreŋgɨz ndɨn pɨŋ aimŋgɨmar.
Jesus went [with many other people] up into the hills. After he picked out [from among them] the men whom he wanted [to accompany him], they came [close] to him.
14 Aimŋgɨz mbɨ wɨram kɨra oman ŋkiŋkiŋg undɨmaj han ndɨnmen ñɨmŋgɨz are ŋɨmbɨmar. Ave Jisasɨv ndɨŋ kamar. Nzɨ andɨŋ wɨram kɨra mban amɨ ihɨnd ensaŋ ntɨŋ ŋaŋɨndɨv uyɨzɨŋgwin han ensamin amar. Nzɨ andɨŋ Yakŋ Ohɨrand ya hɨro hɨrai osa anchɨ eŋgweŋgwɨndɨv ensamin amar.
He appointed twelve men in order that they might be with him and in order that he might send them out to preach. He called them apostles.
15 Ave nzɨ andɨŋ itɨ kɨvah kiaŋgworaŋgwaŋgwɨndɨvez ensa ohɨra mach aŋkarɨpɨr eŋgwin amar.
He also gave them power in order that they might expel evil spirits [from people].
16 Mach ave, Jisasɨv wɨram oman ŋkiŋkiŋg undɨmaj han ensamamar. Mbɨndɨŋ ensa han mbanɨmb: Saimon, (Jisasɨv ndɨn ensa emŋga mbɨkɨr Pita eŋgwamar), Sebedind nor kɨra undɨmaj han mbɨndɨŋ ensa han Jems Jon, (Jisasɨv undɨmaj han ensa emŋga Boanerges eŋgwamar.

These were the twelve men he appointed: Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name Peter; his [younger] brother Andrew;
James, [the son] of Zebedee, and John, the [younger] brother of James, to [both of] whom he added the [new] name, ‘Men who are like Thunder’. [because of their fiery zeal];
Philip; Bartholomew; Levi, whose other name was Matthew; Thomas; [another] James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus; [another] Simon, who was a [member of the party that wanted] to overthrow [the Roman government];
and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]). He was the one who [later] (betrayed Jesus/helped Jesus’ enemies seize him).
20 Mach ave, Jisasɨv mbɨkɨr sezɨrmen oramɨŋ ahevomŋgɨmar. Ahevomŋgɨz wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ ohɨron hamb Jisasɨnd pɨŋ ai aŋkwezawi ñɨmŋgɨz, handɨv Jisasɨv mbɨkɨr sezɨrmen ntɨŋ ohɨra ŋe unsa nzɨhanave namŋgɨmɨr.
Jesus [along with his disciples] went to the house where he was staying [in Capernaum. Again a crowd gathered where he was]. There were many people crowding around him, so that he and his disciples had no time when they could eat or [when they could do anything else].
21 Avɨz Jisasɨnd zɨŋgɨr hamb han njɨhame kamŋgɨmar. Jisasɨv ndɨh eraher awi arɨmŋgɨmar. Ave ndɨn ŋaŋɨn are ŋondɨrahe aimŋgɨmar.
After his relatives heard about this, they went to take him home [with them] because (some people/they) were saying that he was insane.
22 Aimŋgɨzand, wɨram kɨra Jerusalemɨnd ya Mosesɨnd injambɨr ahe sɨkahɨnd hamb aiampɨra ohɨra Jerusalemɨŋ erere ŋketai eretai ñɨhɨri kamŋgɨmar.

[Around that time] some men who taught the [Jewish] laws came down from Jerusalem [city. They heard that Jesus was expelling demons]. So they were telling [people], “Beelzebub, who rules the evil spirits, controls him. He is the one who enables this man to expel evil spirits [from people]!”
23 Hanave kamŋgɨz, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ oreŋgɨz aimŋgɨmar. Aimŋgɨz mbɨ ya ahɨmb mban kamar. Nzɨhanave Satanɨmb Satanonaŋg kiaŋgwɨmɨr amar.
Jesus summoned those men. [Then he spoke to them] in parables [to enable them to realize that Satan would not oppose his own evil spirits. He also wanted them to realize that by expelling evil spirits, he was demonstrating that he was much more powerful than Satan]. So he said, “([It is ridiculous] to suggest that Satan would expel his own [evil spirits]!/Why would Satan expel his own [evil spirits]?) [RHQ]
24 Wɨram isupɨr ohɨra kɨvah wererɨnd emŋga hamb ñɨmɨr amar. Kɨrɨm mbɨkɨr osa anchɨ hamb kwɨri mbon mbon imbɨr ñɨmah re era mpamŋgɨmɨr han isupɨr kehamb nzɨhanave ñɨmɨr amar.
If [people who live in the same] country are fighting one another, they will cease to be a single group under one ruler.
25 Mach, osa anchɨ zɨŋgɨrɨnd hamb kwɨri mbon mbon imbɨr ñɨmah re era mpamŋgɨmɨr han zɨŋgɨr mbanamb nzɨhanave ñɨmɨr amar.
And if [people who live in the same] house fight each other, they will certainly not remain [as one family].
26 Mach, Satanɨnd untɨm hamb kwɨri mbon mbon imbɨr ñɨmah re era mpamŋgɨmɨr han mbɨ mɨñɨmŋgɨmɨr amar. Mbɨ mɨŋam kwevɨrɨmŋgɨmɨr amar.
Similarly, if Satan and his [evil spirits] were fighting one another, instead of remaining strong, he would become powerless.
27 Mach, Jisasɨv ekwaŋg ke kamar. Wɨram emŋga hamb utɨzi wɨram aŋkarɨpɨrɨnd oramɨŋ ahevohe hanɨhan mbɨkɨr han mamah ŋɨmbɨmɨr amar. Nend amar. Mbɨ wɨram aŋkarɨpɨr han kɨrɨpaŋ kɨravɨhaz ŋgañɨzand imbɨr hanɨhan han mamah ŋɨmbɨmɨr amar.
Contrary to [what you say about me], someone can enter the house of a strong man [like Satan] and carry off his possessions only if he first ties up the strong man. Then [and only then] will he [be able to] steal the things in that man’s house.”
28 Nzɨ andɨŋ mɨŋun kin amar. Wɨramb utuhutuh enta kɨvah sɨndɨramŋgi han, utuhutuh ya kɨvah Yakŋ Ohɨrah yarahe kandɨramŋgi han, Yakŋ Ohɨrav enta kɨvah kehan imbɨr usɨndari amar.
[Jesus also said], “Consider this carefully! People may sin in many ways and they may speak evilly about God, but [if] they [then are sorry and ask God to] forgive [them], [God] will forgive them for doing that.
30 Mbɨ itɨ kɨvahɨv Jisasɨh ŋgɨŋe awarohe ñɨñmbɨri arar kamŋgɨmar. Handɨv Jisasɨv ndɨŋ kamar. Yakŋ Ohɨrav enta kɨvah kehan musɨndɨram amar.
[Jesus told them that] because [they refused to admit that the Holy Spirit was helping him to expel demons. Instead], they were saying, “An evil spirit is controlling him!”
31 Mach, Jisasɨnd runjɨr hamb mɨŋɨr mbɨndɨŋmen ai injambɨr handɨh aŋkwañɨhɨri osa anchɨ han kamŋgɨmar. Jisasɨh kamŋgɨn ahevaiz arɨmŋgɨmar.
Jesus’ mother and [younger] siblings arrived. While they stood outside, they sent [someone inside] in order to call him [outside].
32 Avɨz osa anchɨ ndɨn ondɨhore ŋgarɨwɨmŋgɨmar hamb ndɨn kamŋgɨmar. Ndɨh wan arɨmŋgɨmar. Yaŋarɨv arunjarmen ai injambɨr handɨh ñɨhɨri nandɨv kamŋgɨmbɨri arɨmŋgɨmar.
A crowd was sitting around Jesus. One of them said to him, “Listen/Hey, your mother and your [younger] brothers and sisters are outside, and they are wanting (to see/to talk with) you!”
33 Avɨz, Jisasɨv osa anchɨ han kamar. Uñɨman ihɨnd yaŋ namunj amar.
Jesus replied to them, “([I will tell you something about] my mother and my brothers.[/Do you know whom I consider to be like] my mother and my brothers?)” [RHQ]
34 Ave mbɨ wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb ndɨn ondɨhore ŋgarɨwɨmŋgɨmar han wehɨrehɨr ñi kamar. Mban ihɨnd yaŋ namunj amar.
After he looked around at [the disciples] who were sitting around him [in a circle], he said, “Look here! I [love these men as much as] I [love] my mother and my brothers.
35 Osa anchɨ hamb Yakŋ Ohɨrand ya njɨhamŋgɨj han ndɨŋ ihɨnd yaŋunj namunj amar.
Those who habitually do what God wants are [as dear to me] [MET] as my brother, my sister, or my mother!”
