Mak 8
1 Mach haŋonaŋg, wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb ekwaŋg ai aŋkwezawi ñɨhɨrɨmŋgɨmar. Mbɨ unsa mah apar. Handɨv Jisasɨv mbɨkɨr sezɨr han oreŋgɨz aimŋgɨmar. Aimŋgɨz ndɨŋ kamar.
In those days the crowd once again became very large, and they had nothing to eat. Jesus called the disciples to Him and said,
2 Wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ mbanamb yanɨmen rapɨr undɨmapam ñɨmŋgɨndɨŋgi amar. Ave irɨh mbɨ unsa mah apar ñɨhɨrɨmŋgi amar. Handɨv nzɨ ndɨŋ waŋ yan akŋɨn ahi amar.
“I have compassion for this crowd, because they have already been with Me three days and have nothing to eat.
3 Nzɨ ndɨŋ kaŋ, mbɨndɨŋ oramɨŋ we unsandɨv mamŋgɨz, mbɨndɨŋ ampɨn hamb eraher awɨz empasamɨŋ aŋkɨramandɨramŋgi amar. Hanaveaŋg ui taŋɨpɨr ohɨra aimŋgɨndɨŋgi amar.
If I send them home hungry, they will faint along the way. For some of them have come a great distance.”
4 Mach, sezɨrɨv mbɨŋ ndɨn kamŋgɨmar. Isupɨr mbanan wɨram mah arɨmŋgɨmar. Arɨ eŋka han nzɨhandɨh ŋe wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ mban eŋkwanarɨŋ ndɨŋ mpɨkarɨndari arɨmŋgɨmar.
His disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could anyone find enough bread to feed all these people?”
5 Avɨz Jisasɨv ndɨŋ amarɨmar. Amɨ eŋka han nzɨhanave hɨrañɨmŋgɨn amar. Az ndɨn kamŋgɨmar. Ahins arɨmŋgɨmar.
“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied.
6 Mach, Jisasɨv kaz wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb isaŋ ŋgarɨwɨmŋgɨmar. Avɨz Jisasɨv eŋka ahins mban ŋe ñaŋ sɨhawarohe were Yakŋ Ohɨrah ya imbɨr eŋgwamar. Ave mbɨ eŋka mban ŋaŋepev mbɨkɨr sezɨr hamb wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ mban eŋkwanamŋgɨz are ndɨŋ eŋgwamar. Eŋgwaz mbɨ wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ han kɨrɨm eŋkwanamŋgɨmar.
And He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then He took the seven loaves, gave thanks and broke them, and gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And they distributed them to the crowd.
7 Mach, mbɨ oma uŋguŋg hanaveaŋg hɨrañɨmŋgɨmar. Avɨz Jisasɨv han ŋe Yakŋ Ohɨrah ya imbɨr eŋgwe sezɨr eŋgwaz hanez eŋkwanamŋgɨmar.
They also had a few small fish, and Jesus blessed them and ordered that these be set before them as well.
8 Avɨz mbɨ namŋgɨz ndɨŋ mpɨkarɨmar. Ave unsa ekeka han aŋkwezawi iŋkimpiñ ohɨra ahins haŋ mpamŋgɨz torɨmar.
The people ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
9 Wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb ñɨmŋgɨmar han 4,000 emamp. Ave Jisasɨv ndɨŋ kaz kɨrɨm omŋgɨmar.
And about four thousand men were present. As soon as Jesus had dismissed the crowd,
10 Mach, Jisasɨv sezɨrmen utɨŋg unchaŋ ŋkwetohe isupɨr Dalmanutand handɨh omŋgɨmar.
He got into the boat with His disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.
11 Mach, wɨram untɨm Farisind hamb ai Jisasmen ya amɨherɨmŋgɨmar. Jisasɨv ntɨŋ aŋkarɨpɨr pamuh han mbɨramɨz are, Yakŋ Ohɨrav ndɨn kaz mbɨ ntɨŋ Yakŋ Ohɨrand ŋaj oh o nend arɨmŋgɨmar. Han waŋɨn are ndɨn ondo mpamŋgɨmar.
Then the Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus, testing Him by demanding from Him a sign from heaven.
12 Avɨz Jisasɨv wɨr aŋkarɨpɨr ohɨra ŋaz mbɨkɨr mpɨ hamb kɨr ohɨra ñɨmar. Ave mbɨ kamar. Utɨndɨv osa anchɨ irɨh ñɨmŋgɨmbɨri mbanamb ntɨŋ aŋkarɨpɨr han waŋɨn are kamŋgi amar. Andɨŋ mɨŋun kin amar. Ntɨŋ aŋkarɨpɨr hamb mbɨramɨz Yakŋ Ohɨrav yan kaz nzɨ Yakŋ Ohɨrand ntɨŋ ŋajin han, han amɨ mɨwandɨramŋgɨm amar. Nendon amar.
Jesus sighed deeply in His spirit and said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
13 Mach ave, mbɨ ndɨŋ erere utɨŋg unchaŋ ŋkwuhi yamb ohɨra ondɨhondɨh ŋkiŋgɨŋ evahetomar.
And He left them, got back into the boat, and crossed to the other side.
14 Mach, sezɨrɨv njɨhi eraher awi eŋka han mɨhɨraimŋgɨm. Mbɨndɨŋ eŋka pamuh hamb utɨŋg handɨh ñɨmar.
Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.
15 Avɨz Jisasɨv ndɨŋ ya aŋkarɨpɨr kamar. Njɨhambar amar. Amɨ yis wɨram untɨm Farisind Herotɨnd han omanenton wehɨrɨvar amar. f
“Watch out!” He cautioned them. “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of Herod.”
16 Az sezɨrɨv mbon mbon kamŋgɨmar. Arɨ eŋka mah raz handɨv mbɨ ya mban ki toh arɨmŋgɨmar.
So they began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread.
17 Mach, Jisasɨv mbɨndɨŋ ya kamŋgɨmar mban ndɨh wamar. Ave ndɨŋ mbanave kamar. Utɨndɨv ya mbanan amon amon kamŋgɨn, arɨ eŋka mah arar kamŋgɨn amar. Amɨ omanenta mɨwamŋgɨrɨm oh a amar. Andɨŋ njɨhi mah oh a amar. Az handɨv amandɨŋ njɨhi hamb moyakam oh a amar.
Aware of their conversation, Jesus asked them, “Why are you debating about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Do you have such hard hearts?
18 Andɨŋ ampɨn mbah, kɨrɨm amɨ hanɨhan han mɨwamŋgɨrɨm oh a amar. Andɨŋ njemɨn mbah, kɨrɨm amɨ ya han mɨnjɨhamŋgɨrɨm oh a amar. Amɨ njɨhi eraher awɨmŋgɨn toh amar.
‘Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear?’ And do you not remember?
19 Eŋambɨr han nzɨ eŋka oman ŋkɨpam han ŋaŋepev 5,000 wɨram han eŋkwanen amar. Az amɨ unsa ekeka han iŋkimpiñ han nzɨhanave mpamŋgan amar. Az kamŋgɨmar. Oman ŋkiŋkiŋg undɨmaj arɨmŋgɨmar.
When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you collect?” “Twelve,” they answered.
20 Mach, ekwaŋg han nzɨ eŋka ahins han ŋaŋepev 4,000 wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ han eŋkwanen amar. Az amɨ unsa ekeka han iŋkimpiñ ohɨra han nzɨhanave mpamŋgan amar. Az ndɨn kamŋgɨmar. Ahins arɨmŋgɨmar.
“And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you collect?” “Seven,” they said.
21 Az Jisasɨv ndɨŋ kamar. Amɨ utɨndɨv omanenta wamah ramŋgɨrɨn amar.
Then He asked them, “Do you still not understand?”
22 Mach, Jisasɨv sezɨrmen we aiampɨra Betsaidaŋ ahevɨkɨrorɨmŋgɨmar. Avɨz osa anchɨ hamb wɨram emŋga ampɨn kɨvahɨnsɨnd han Jisasɨnd pɨŋ hɨraimŋgɨmar. Ave mbɨ Jisasɨv mbɨkɨr omanaka ndɨn insɨŋ ŋgamɨz are mbahon mbahon amarɨmŋgɨmar.
When they arrived at Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.
23 Mach, Jisasɨv wɨram ampɨn kɨvahɨnsɨnd mban oman uŋkɨri aiampɨra injambɨrɨŋ hɨrahevomar. Hɨrahevohe ampɨn mbɨkɨr han mpɨñ atazivɨmar. Ave mbɨ mbɨkɨr omanaka han ndɨn insɨŋ ŋgamɨmar. Ave ndɨn mbanave amarɨmar. Amɨ hanɨhan han wan oh o nend amar.
So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then He spit on the man’s eyes and placed His hands on him. “Can you see anything?” He asked.
24 Ave wɨram mbanamb ñaŋ were kamar. Nzɨ wɨram hanaveaŋg win amar. Kɨrɨm waŋand mbɨ ai emamp ndand omŋgi aimŋgi amar.
The man looked up and said, “I can see the people, but they look like trees walking around.”
25 Az Jisasɨv mbɨkɨr omanaka han ekwaŋg mbɨkɨr ampɨnɨŋ ŋgamɨmar. Avɨz wɨram mbanamb aŋkarɨpɨron werɨz, mbɨkɨr ampɨn hamb imbɨrun ñɨmar. Ave mbɨ hanɨhan akŋ han ovɨherɨzand, mbɨkɨr werer hamb imbɨrun ahevakarɨmar.
Once again Jesus placed His hands on the man’s eyes, and when he opened them his sight was restored, and he could see everything clearly.
26 Mach, Jisasɨv ndɨn kamar. Amɨ amakɨr oramɨŋ ov amar. Amɨ aiampɨra uhɨmɨŋ omɨn amar.
Jesus sent him home and said, “Do not go back into the village.”
27 Mach ave, Jisasɨv sezɨrmen ŋondɨrahe aiampɨra akŋ Sisaria Filipai ikwɨm handɨh omŋgɨmar. Ave mbɨ empasamɨŋ mbɨkɨr sezɨrɨh mbanave amarɨmar. Osa anchɨ hamb yanɨh uñɨman oh arar kamŋgɨj amar.
Then Jesus and His disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say I am?”
28 Az mbɨ ndɨn mbanave kamŋgɨmar. Hanaveaŋg nan Jonɨh wɨram osa anchɨ han yambɨŋ ŋazɨkŋirɨŋgwɨŋgw ŋambiahahɨnd hamb arɨmŋgɨj arɨmŋgɨmar. Hanaveaŋg nan Elaija arɨmŋgɨj arɨmŋgɨmar. Mach, hanaveaŋg nan wɨram Yakŋ Ohɨrand ya injambɨr ahe kahɨnd hamb arɨmŋgɨj arɨmŋgɨmar.
They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.”
29 Avɨz Jisasɨv sezɨrɨh amarɨmar. Amon han yanɨh uñɨman arar kamŋgɨn amar. Az Pitav ndɨn mbanave kamar. Nan wɨram Yakŋ Ohɨrav mbɨkɨr osa anchɨ ekwaŋg ŋɨmbɨmbɨndɨv uyɨŋgwamɨmar hamb amar.
“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”
30 Avɨz Jisasɨv ndɨŋ erokare kamar. Amɨ wɨram emŋgemŋga han yandɨv kamŋgɨmɨn amar.
And Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about Him.
31 Mach, Jisasɨv ondo ake sezɨrɨh ya han mbanave sɨkamar. Yakŋ Ohɨrand njɨhi hamb mbanave ñɨmar amar. Wɨramɨnd Nor hamb pɨrɨvɨr ohɨra ŋandari amar. Az wɨram untɨm ohɨra kɨra Judand, wɨram anɨŋnsar kɨra hanɨhan Yakŋ Ohɨrandɨv ahaz ore ŋgamamɨnd, mach wɨram kɨra ya Mosesɨnd injambɨr ahe sɨkahɨnd hamb, mbɨ Wɨramɨnd Nor mapɨŋ ame ndɨn mamta orɨndɨramŋgi amar. Avɨz watɨm yuŋk undɨmapam haŋ ekwaŋg ŋaiahandari amar.
Then He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and after three days rise again.
32 Mbɨ ndɨŋ ya han omanenton kampɨhe kaz, Pitav Jisasɨh ya aŋkarɨpɨr ke kamar. Amɨ ya han kamɨn amar.
He spoke this message quite frankly, and Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.
33 Avɨz Jisasɨv enarɨŋge sezɨr mbɨkɨr han wehɨre, Pitah ya aŋkarɨpɨr ke kamar. Amɨ Satan haremamp amar. Amɨ ihɨnd mapɨŋ ov amar. Amɨ Yakŋ Ohɨrand njɨhi mɨmpehɨrorɨm amar. Nend amar. Amɨ wɨramɨnd njɨhiŋam mpehɨrorɨn amar.
But Jesus, turning and looking at His disciples, rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”
34 Ave Jisasɨv osa anchɨ han sezɨr mbɨkɨr hanez oreŋgɨz, ai awakŋɨmŋgɨmar. Aimŋgɨz Jisasɨv ndɨŋ mbanave kamar. Wɨram emŋgav yan mpehɨroŋɨn are, mbɨ mbɨkɨr njɨhi ŋambiŋgwi ai oŋkɨrand mbɨkɨr han orambi, yan mpehɨroz amar.
Then Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples, and He told them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.
35 Wɨram emŋgav kɨpɨr mbɨkɨr han aŋkarɨpɨr ŋambɨñɨz, kɨpɨr mbɨkɨr hamb kwevɨrɨndari amar. Kɨrɨm wɨram emŋgav yandɨv mach Yakŋ Ohɨrand ya imbɨrɨndɨv mbɨkɨr kɨpɨr han ererɨz, mbɨkɨr kɨpɨr hamb imbɨrun ñɨndari amar.
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and for the gospel will save it.
36 Wɨram emŋgav hanɨhan akŋ isupɨr mbanand han ŋaz mach raz, kɨrɨm kɨpɨr mbɨkɨr hamb kwevɨrɨz, hanɨhan akŋ mbanamb ndɨnɨh nzɨhanave hɨrawɨmɨr amar.
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?
37 Handɨv wɨramb utɨmanɨŋ uŋkɨ eŋgwe kɨpɨr mbɨkɨr han ekwaŋg ŋandari amar.
Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Osa anchɨ irɨh ñɨmŋgɨmbɨri mbanamb, mbɨ Yakŋ Ohɨrah mapɨŋ eŋgwe enta kɨvah kɨvah endɨraparam sɨmŋgɨj amar. Osa anchɨ emŋga mbɨndɨŋ hamb yandɨv mach ihɨnd yandɨv ampi ake ñɨmɨr amar. Mach, njɨmɨnj han Wɨramɨnd Nor hamb mpamɨnd ohɨra wanɨrɨnd ñɨñmbɨri hamb mbɨ Yakŋ Ohɨrand mapɨŋ akŋ hamen aindɨramŋgi amar. Aimŋgɨz, osa anchɨ Wɨramɨnd Norɨndɨv ampi akah kehand, mbez ndɨŋ ampi akandari amar.
If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in His Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
