Mak 9
1 Mach, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ mbanave kamar. Nzɨ andɨŋ mɨŋun kin amar. Yakŋ Ohɨrav osa anchɨ hanaveaŋg ŋɨmbɨz mbɨkɨr kwɨŋ ñɨndɨramŋgi kehamb ahevakarɨndari amar. Han aŋkarɨpɨr ohɨransɨnd ahevakarɨndari amar. Avɨz hanaveaŋg mban ñɨmŋgɨmbɨri hamb mbɨ mamah re, mbɨ han wandɨramŋgi amar.
Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth: some standing here won't die before they see the kingdom of God having come with power.”
2 Yuŋk ansɨ hamb we mach raz, mach Jisasɨv Pita Jems Jonɨh ŋɨmbi aparɨma mbɨhawar mɨŋ handɨh mpahɨrawaromar. Ave undɨmajɨvam mbon ikumun ñɨhɨrɨmŋgɨmar. Ave sezɨr undɨmapam hamb werer ñɨmŋgɨzand, Jisasɨnd yupɨr hamb enta emŋgon ahevakarɨmar.
Six days later Jesus took Peter, James, and John with him, and led them up a high mountain to be by themselves. His appearance totally changed.
3 Yupɨr hɨrahɨr mbɨkɨr hamb raka okam emamp ahevakarɨmar. Ave okam mɨŋ ñɨmar. Wɨram emŋga isupɨr mbanand yupɨr hɨrahɨr usuzɨnd hamb imɨn han omanenta usɨz imɨn okam mbanamb Jisasɨnd imɨn okam emamp mahevakarɨmɨr.
His clothes shone a brilliant white, whiter than anyone on earth could bleach them.
4 Avɨz Elaijav Mosesmen ahevɨkɨrorɨmŋgɨz, Jisasɨnd sezɨr hamb wamŋgɨz mbɨ Jisasmen ya kah ñɨhɨrɨmŋgɨmar.
Then Elijah and Moses appeared in front of them as well, talking with Jesus.
5 Mach, sezɨr undɨmapam han we ezandɨkŋahambi ntahoror ñɨhɨrɨmŋgɨmar. Avɨz Pitav ya hanave kah han mɨwam. Ave mbɨ Jisasɨh mbanave kamar. Anɨŋzɨŋ entand, arɨ mban ñɨrɨŋ han imbɨrun amar. Arɨ imbɨr oram oram undɨmapam asɨmɨrɨŋ amar. Emŋga amakɨr emŋga Mosesɨnd emŋga Elaijand amar.
Peter spoke up and said, “Rabbi, it's great for us to be here! We should make three shelters—one each for you, Moses, and Elijah.”
(He really didn't know what to say because they were all so frightened!)
7 Mach, yambaka emŋga hamb ahevakare rapɨr han asɨramamar. Avɨz ya emŋga hamb yambaka mbanand uncha haŋ mbanave kamar. Mban ihɨnd nor, nzɨ ndɨndɨvon rin amar. Amɨ mbɨkɨr ya njɨhambar amar.
Then a cloud covered them, and a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, the one I love. Listen to him.”
8 Ave pams haŋon Jisasɨnd sezɨr hamb enarorɨŋge ovɨherɨmŋgɨmar. Kɨrɨm mbɨ wɨram emŋgaŋg mɨwamŋgɨm. Jisasɨv mbon ikumun ndɨŋmen ñɨmar.
Then, all of a sudden, as they were watching, there was nobody. Only Jesus was with them.
9 Mach, mbɨ aparɨma han erere ŋketaimŋgɨmar. Az Jisasɨv ndɨŋ erokare kamar. Hanɨhan mban wamŋgɨn han wɨram emŋga kamŋgɨmɨn wem Wɨramɨnd Nor hamb me ekwaŋg mɨnsaŋ ŋaiahandari amar.
As they came down the mountain Jesus instructed them not to tell anyone what they'd seen until the Son of man had risen from the dead.
10 Az mbɨ ya han mbɨndɨŋ mpɨ unchaŋ hɨrañɨmŋgɨmar. Ave mbon mbon mbanave kamŋgɨmar. Ya mban mbɨ me mɨnsaŋ ekwaŋg ŋaiahandari han, han utɨman arɨmŋgɨmar.
They kept this to themselves, but they did argue with each other over what it meant to rise from the dead.
11 Ave Jisasɨh mbanave kamŋgɨmar. Utɨndɨv wɨram kɨra ya Mosesɨnd injambɨr ahe sɨkahɨnd hamb mbanave kamŋganj amar. Elaijav mboz aiz arar kamŋganj arɨmŋgɨmar.
“Why do the religious teachers state that Elijah has to come first?” they asked him.
12 Az Jisasɨv mbɨndɨŋ ya enore mbanave kamar. Ya mban mɨŋun amar. Elaijav mboz ai hanɨhan ekwaŋg mɨŋam omanenta sɨndari amar. Kɨrɨm yaya Yakŋ Ohɨrand anɨŋzɨŋ entaŋ ñi han nzɨhanave ñɨz, Wɨramɨnd Nor hamb pɨrɨvɨr ohɨra kɨvah ŋaz, wɨram hamb ndɨn ŋambiŋgwi kɨvah sɨndɨramŋgi amar.
“It's true that Elijah comes first to prepare everything,” Jesus replied. “But why then does it say in Scripture that the Son of man has to suffer so much and be treated with contempt?
13 Kɨrɨm nzɨ andɨŋ kin amar. Elaijav ndɨh air amar. Ave wɨram hamb mbɨndɨŋ njɨhiŋon mpehɨromŋgɨj amar. Mach, mbɨ ndɨnɨh enta endɨraparam sɨmŋgɨr han haremamp ya Yakŋ Ohɨrand anɨŋzɨŋ enta unchaŋ ñɨz ndɨndɨv mpamar amar.
However, I tell you that Elijah has come, and they abused him in whatever way they wanted, just as Scripture said they would.”
14 Mach, Jisasɨv sezɨr undɨmapamen ai sezɨr emŋgemŋgaŋ ahevɨkɨrorɨmŋgɨmar. Ahevɨkɨrore wamŋgɨz wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb ndɨŋ ondɨhore ñɨhɨrɨmŋgɨmar. Ave wɨram kɨra ya Mosesɨnd injambɨr ahe sɨkahɨnd hamb ndɨŋmen amɨherɨmŋgɨmar.
When they returned to the other disciples, they saw them surrounded by a large crowd and some religious teachers arguing with them.
15 Wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ mbanamb wamŋgɨz Jisasɨv aimar. Mbɨ aiz pams haŋon ntamŋgɨmar. Mbɨ nte ndɨn pɨŋ aŋɨraŋɨr we, ndɨn rapɨrɨnt eŋgwamŋgɨmar.
As soon as the crowd saw Jesus they were in total awe, and ran to greet him.
16 Avɨz Jisasɨv ndɨŋ mbanave amarɨmar. Amɨ utɨndɨv ndɨŋmen ya amɨherɨmŋgɨn amar.
“What are you arguing with them about?” Jesus asked them.
17 Avɨz wɨram emŋga hamb wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋɨnd uhɨmɨŋ ñɨmar hamb mbɨ Jisasɨh ya mbanave kamar. Anɨŋzɨŋ entand, itɨ kɨvah hamb ihɨnd norɨnd karupɨr aŋkwinchi ndɨnɨŋ ñɨñmbɨri amar. Handɨv nzɨ ndɨn nan pɨŋ hɨraiin amar.
One of the people in the crowd answered, “Rabbi, I brought my son to you. He has an evil spirit that prevents him speaking.
18 Itɨ kɨvah mbanamb ndɨnɨh hanaveon aŋkarɨpɨr kɨvah ŋaj avav ndɨn ŋaŋaŋ isaŋ avɨzɨŋgaj amar. Avɨzand karempa hamb karupɨr mbɨkɨrɨŋ ahevakarɨj avav mbɨ mbɨkɨr ampar ivɨharar kaj amar. Avɨzand yupɨr mbɨkɨr hamb mɨŋamun aŋkarɨpɨr raj amar. Ave nzɨ sezar amakɨr amarɨŋ itɨ kɨvah mban kiaŋgwɨmŋgɨzaŋg, kɨrɨm nend amar. Ndɨŋ aŋkarɨpɨr mah amar.
Whenever he has a seizure it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and he becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive it out of him, but they couldn't do it.”
19 Jisasɨv ya mban njɨhame, wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ han kamar. Eee, amɨ wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr mɨnjɨhamŋgɨm amar. Nzɨ andɨŋmen yuŋk war nzɨhanave mbahon ñɨndarin amar. Nzɨ yuŋk war nzɨhanave amandɨŋ kɨr akŋɨndarin amar. Amɨ nor kehan yan pɨŋ mbanaŋ hɨraivar amar.
“You unbelieving people!” Jesus responded. “How long must I remain here with you? How long do I have to put up with you? Bring him over here to me!”
20 Mach, mbɨ nor kehan ndɨn pɨŋ hɨraimŋgɨmar. Avɨz itɨ kɨvah hamb Jisasɨh we, pams haŋon nor kehan sɨz itɨkɨrɨmun nte arazɨpazawɨmar. Ave nor mbanamb isaŋ aŋkɨrame enarambarɨmar. Karempa hambez karupɨr mbɨkɨrɨŋ ahevakarɨmar.
So they brought him to Jesus. When the evil spirit saw Jesus it immediately sent the boy into convulsions and threw him on the ground, where he rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
21 Avɨz Jisasɨv wanɨrɨh mbanave amarɨmar. Mbɨkɨr mahoror kɨvah hamb yuŋk nzɨhanave ñi amar. Az wanɨrɨv kamar. Mbɨ sai aŋkwɨron ñɨzand ahevakarɨmar amar.
“How long has he had this?” Jesus asked the boy's father. “Since he was small,” the father replied.
22 Itɨ kɨvah mbanamb hanaveon ŋaŋaŋ pɨrɨtɨm insɨŋ yambɨŋ avɨzɨŋganj avav ndɨn mamta orɨŋɨn arar ranj amar. Amɨ imbɨr ramɨn amar. Amɨ arɨŋ akŋɨn ñi arɨŋ hɨrawɨv amar.
“Often it throws him into the fire to burn him to death, or throws him into water to drown him. Please have mercy on us and help, if you can.”
23 Avɨz Jisasɨv ndɨnɨh kamar. Utɨndɨv mbanave kan, amɨ imbɨr ramɨn arar kan amar. Kɨrɨm amɨ njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr ŋe njɨhame hanɨhan upi mban mɨŋamun imbɨr ramɨn amar.
“Why do you say, ‘if you can?’” replied Jesus. “Whoever trusts has every power!”
24 Az pams haŋon wanɨrɨv aware kamar. Nzɨ njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr ŋe njɨhamin amar. Kɨrɨm njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr ihɨnd han tɨm nor amar. Amɨ yan hɨrawɨv amar.
“I do trust in you,” the man shouted out right away. “Help me not to distrust you.”
25 Mach, Jisasɨv waz wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ ohɨron mbanamb aŋɨrɨmbɨrɨmbɨr ndɨŋ pɨŋ ikwɨm aimŋgɨmar. Az mbɨ itɨ kɨvah han ya aŋkarɨpɨr ke kamar. Nzɨ nan aŋkarɨpɨr kin amar. Nan itɨ kɨvah karupɨr aminjinjɨnd, njemɨn inchɨrɨmbɨmbɨnd, amɨ nor mbanan erere etov amar. Ave ekwaŋg ndɨn unchaŋ ŋgwevomɨn amar.
Jesus, seeing that the crowd was closing in, commanded the evil spirit, “Spirit that causes deafness and dumbness, I order you to come out of him and never return.”
26 Avɨz itɨ kɨvah mbanamb kwa hɨrɨzɨnd awarɨmar. Mbɨ raz nor mbanamb nte asu asai razand ndɨn erere etomar. Avɨz nor mbanamb me ñɨwamar. Az osa anchɨ hamb we kamŋgɨmar. Mbɨ ndɨh mi arɨmŋgɨmar.
The spirit screamed and threw the boy into severe convulsions. Then the spirit came out of the boy and left him for dead—to the extent that many of the people said, “He's dead.”
27 Kɨrɨm Jisasɨv omanaka mbɨkɨr han ŋe ndɨn ŋambiahaz aŋkwañɨmar.
But Jesus took the boy by the hand and helped him up, and he got to his feet.
28 Mach, Jisasɨv we oramɨŋ ahevohe mbɨkɨr sezɨrmen mbon ikumun ñɨhɨrɨmŋgɨmar. Ave mbɨ ndɨn amarɨmŋgɨmar. Arɨ utɨndɨv itɨ kɨvah mban kiaŋgwɨ mah rarɨŋ arɨmŋgɨmar.
Later, when Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him in private, “Why couldn't we drive the evil spirit out?”
29 Avɨz ndɨŋ kamar. Arɨ Yakŋ Ohɨrah ahaz orɨmah re, itɨ kɨvah kehand han mɨkiaŋgwɨndɨram amar.
“This kind can't be driven out except by prayer,” Jesus told them.
30 Mach ave, Jisasɨv mbɨ sezɨrmen aiampɨra han erere isupɨr Galili uhɨmɨŋun omŋgɨmar. Avav Jisasɨv mbɨkɨr sezɨrɨh ya sɨkanj. Handɨv mbɨ ndɨŋ erokare kamar. Amɨ wɨram emŋgavaŋg kamŋgɨmɨn amar. Jisasɨv mbah handɨh ñɨñmbɨri arar kamŋgɨmɨn amar. Ave mbɨ ndɨŋ kamar. Wɨramɨnd Nor han wɨram kɨrand oman insɨŋ ŋgamɨndɨramŋgi amar. Ave ndɨn mamta orɨmŋgɨz mandari amar. Mbɨ ndɨn mamta orɨŋgamɨndɨramŋgiaŋg, kɨrɨm mbɨ watɨm yuŋk undɨmapam haŋ ekwaŋg ŋaiahandari amar.
They left and passed through Galilee. Jesus didn't want anyone to know where he was
because he was teaching his disciples. “The Son of man will be betrayed to human authorities,” he told them. “They will kill him, but three days later he will rise again.”
32 Avɨz mbɨ ya mbanand ondo han mɨwamŋgɨrɨm. Handɨv mbɨ ndɨn amarɨŋɨn arar ezandɨkŋɨmŋgɨmar.
They didn't understand what he meant and were too afraid to ask him about it.
33 Mach ave, Jisasɨv mbɨ sezɨrmen aiampɨra Kaperneamɨŋ omŋgɨmar. Ave sezɨrɨv mbon mbon empasamɨŋ yaŋam amɨherɨmŋgɨmar. Uñɨman wɨram arɨŋɨnd anɨŋnsar mɨŋ arɨmŋgɨmar. Mach, mbɨ Kaperneamɨŋ ahevɨkɨrore oramɨŋ ahevomŋgɨz Jisasɨv mbɨkɨr sezɨrɨh amarɨmar. Amɨ utɨman yaya empasamɨŋ kamŋgɨndɨŋgɨn amar. Avɨz mbɨ ya mah ñɨmŋgɨmar.
They arrived at Capernaum, and once they were inside the house where they were staying, Jesus asked them, “What were you talking about on the way?”
But they didn't say anything because they had been arguing over who was the most important.
35 Mach, Jisasɨv ŋkañi mbɨkɨr sezɨr oman ŋkiŋkiŋg undɨmaj han oreŋge kamar. Wɨram emŋgav anɨŋnsar ñɨŋɨn are, mbɨ wɨram kɨra emŋgemŋgand kwɨŋ ñɨz amar. Handɨv mbɨ wɨram osa anchɨnd ntɨŋ ŋaŋɨnd hamb ñɨndari amar.
Jesus sat down and called the twelve disciples together. “If anyone wants to be first, he has to be the very last, the servant of everyone else,” he told them.
36 Ave Jisasɨv nor emŋga han ŋe uhɨmɨŋun ŋgame ŋambiahe eŋkwarɨmbɨñɨmar. Ave ndɨŋ kamar.
He took a small child and had the child stand right in the middle of them. Then he picked up and hugged the child, and told them,
37 Wɨram emŋga hamb yan njɨhame nor emŋga han hɨrawi, mbɨ yanez hɨrawɨndari amar. Ave wɨram yan hɨrawɨndari hamb, mbɨ yanɨŋam mɨhɨrawɨndɨram amar. Yakŋ Ohɨrav yan kaz aimanjin han, wɨram kehamb ndɨnez hɨrawɨndari amar.
“Whoever welcomes a child like this in my name, welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me doesn't welcome me but the one who sent me.”
38 Mach, Jonɨmb Jisasɨh kamar. Anɨŋzɨŋ entand, arɨ warɨŋand wɨram emŋga hamb itɨ kɨvah akŋ han amakɨr ensaŋ kiaŋgworaŋgwɨr amar. Kɨrɨm ndɨn wɨram arɨŋɨnd mah amar. Handɨv arɨ ndɨnɨh chonj ŋgamɨrɨŋ amar.
John said to Jesus, “Rabbi, we saw someone driving out demons in your name. We tried to stop him because he wasn't one of us.”
39 Avɨz Jisasɨv ndɨŋ kamar. Amɨ ndɨn chonj ŋgamŋgɨmɨn amar. Wɨram emŋga ihɨnd ensaŋ ntɨŋ aŋkarɨpɨr ŋaŋɨnd hamb, mbɨ yan pams ya kɨvah mɨkandɨram amar.
“Don't stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who is doing miracles in my name can curse me at the same time.
40 Wɨram arɨŋ enta kɨvah sɨmah randari kehamb ndɨn arɨŋɨnd ahambɨr amar.
Anyone who is not against us is for us.
41 Nzɨ andɨŋ ya mɨŋun kin amar. Wɨram emŋgav andɨŋ waz amɨ Kraisɨnd untɨm ñɨmŋgɨn han, mbɨ yandɨv re njɨhame andɨŋ yamb nand eŋgwandari amar. Uŋkɨ osa anchɨ hɨrawaw han Yakŋ Ohɨrav ndɨn eŋgwandari amar.
Anyone who gives a cup of water to you in my name, because you belong to Christ, won't lose their reward, believe me.
42 Jisasɨv mbahon mbanave kamar. Sai nor emŋgav yandɨv njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr ŋe njɨhamɨz, wɨram emŋgav raz sai nor mbanamb enta kɨvahɨŋ aŋkɨramaz, han enta imbɨr mah amar.

But if anyone leads one of these little ones who trust in me into sin, it would be better for them if they were thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around their neck.
43 Mach, amakɨr oman hamb nan enta kɨvah sɨzɨndɨv raŋɨnj han, mach amakɨr oman ŋkiŋg han akoke avɨzuv amar. Ave amɨ oman ŋkɨpam ñi kɨpɨr icha ipɨra ñɨñɨnd han ŋandɨran amar. Han imbɨr amar.

If your hand leads you to sin, cut it off! It's better to enter eternal life as a cripple than to go with both hands into Gehenna, into the fire that can't be put out. (Geenna g1067)
45 Mach, amakɨr andam hamb nan enta kɨvah sɨzɨndɨv raŋɨnj han, han akokav amar. Ave amɨ andam ŋkɨpam ñi kɨpɨr icha ipɨra ñɨñɨnd han ŋandɨran amar. Han imbɨr amar. Ave amɨ andam undɨmajɨnsɨnd ñɨn nan Yakŋ Ohɨrav Gehennaŋ avɨzumɨnj amar. Han imbɨr mah amar. (Geenna g1067)
If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off! It's better to enter eternal life lame than to be thrown into Gehenna still having two feet. (Geenna g1067)
47 Mach, amakɨr ampɨn hamb nan enta kɨvah sɨzɨndɨv raŋɨnj han, mach ampɨn ŋkiŋg han ŋatɨwe avɨzuv amar.

Ave amɨ ampɨn undɨmajɨnsɨnd ñɨn, nan Yakŋ Ohɨrav Gehennaŋ avɨzumɨnj amar. Han imbɨr mah amar. (Geenna g1067)
If your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out! It's better to enter the kingdom of God with just one eye than to be thrown into Gehenna still having both eyes, (Geenna g1067)
48 Aiampɨra kehan kwɨmuñ hamb mbɨndɨŋ yupɨr han namŋgɨj hamb, mbɨ mɨkwevɨrɨndɨramŋgɨm amar.
where the worm doesn't die and the fire never goes out.
49 Yakŋ Ohɨrav wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ han pɨrɨtɨmɨŋ avair wandari han osa anchɨ hamb unsa han utɨmɨŋ ondo mparɨwamŋgɨj haremamp amar.
Everybody will be ‘salted’ by fire.

Salt is good, but if it loses its taste, how could you make it salty again? You need to be like salt, and live in peace with one another.”
