< Mark 2 >

1 Some days later, when Jesus came back to Capernaum, the news spread that he was in a house there;
Gakapiteje mobha gashoko, a Yeshu gubhabhujile kabhili ku Kapalanaumu na bhandunji gubhapilikenenje kuti bhaishe kumui.
2 and so many people collected together, that after a while there was no room for them even round the door; and he began to tell them his Message.
Bhai, gubhaikengene bhandunji nigumbala nnyumba mpaka palanga nnango. A Yeshu bhatendaga kwaalungushiyanga ngani jabho,
3 And some people came, bringing to him a paralysed man, who was being carried by four bearers.
penepo gubhaikengene bhandunji nsheshe bhannjigelenje mundu jwa poloka ibhalo.
4 Being, however, unable to get him near to Jesus, owing to the crowd, they removed the roofing below which Jesus was; and, when they had made an opening, they let down the mat on which the paralysed man was lying.
Ikabheje, kwa ligongo lya shuluka bhandu, bhangakombolanga kumpeleka mundu jula tome na a Yeshu. Bhai, gubhabhomolenje shipagala sha nyumba shitwela shibhajimi a Yeshu. Bhakabhomolanjeje lilanga, gubhantuluyenje mundu jula ali agonile pa likai.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man: “Child, your sins are forgiven.”
A Yeshu bhakajibhoneje ngulupai jabhonji, gubhammalanjile mundu jwa poloka jula, “Mwanangu uleshelelwe yambi yako.”
6 But some of the Teachers of the Law who were sitting there were debating in their minds:
Na bhaajiganya bhananji bha Shalia bhapalinji penepo, gubhaganishiyenje mmitima jabhonji,
7 “Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins except God?”
“Bhaabheleketa bhuli abha? Bhanakwaakupulu a Nnungu! Jwakwapi mundu akombola kuleshelela yambi ikabhe a Nnungu jikape.”
8 Jesus, at once intuitively aware that they were debating with themselves in this way, said to them: “Why are you debating in your minds about this?
Shangupe a Yeshu gubhaimanyi ng'aniyo yabhonji, nigubhaalugulilenje, “Pakuti nkuganishiyanga nneyo mmitima jenunji?
9 Which is easier? — to say to the paralysed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven’? or to say ‘Get up, and take up your mat, and walk about’?
Shei shipepeshe kummalanjila mundu apolweshe, ‘Uleshelelwe yambi yako,’ eu kummalanjila, ‘Jinuka! Tola likai lyako ujende?’
10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power to forgive sins on earth” — here he said to the paralysed man —
Bhai, pungupinga mmumanyanje kuti, Mwana juka Mundu, anakombola leshelela bhandu yambi pa shilambolyo.” Penepo gubhammalanjile mundu jwa poloka jula,
11 “To you I say, Get up, take up your mat, and return to your home.”
“Ngunakuubhalanjila jima, tola likai lyako ujende kunngwako!”
12 The man got up, and immediately took up his mat, and went out before them all; at which they were amazed, and, as they praised God, they said: “We have never seen anything like this!”
Akuno bhandu bhalikunnolesheyanga, shangupe mundu jula gwajimi, gwatolile likai lyakwe nigwaijabhulile. Bhandu bhowe gubhakanganigwenje nikwaakuya a Nnungu bhalinkutinji, “Ngu, tukanabhe kushibhona shindu malinga sheneshi.”
13 Jesus went out again to the Sea; and all the people came to him, and he taught them.
A Yeshu gubhapite kabhili kunyenje litanda lya Galilaya. Lugwinjili lwa bhandu gulwaajendele, gubhatandwibhe kwaajiganyanga.
14 As he went along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting in the tax-office, and said to him: “Follow me.” Levi got up and followed him.
Na pubhapitaga mumpanda gubhaabhweni a Lawi bhanabhabho a Alupayo, bhatemi nnyumba ja lipila koli. Gubhaalugulile “Nngagule,” A Lawi gubhajimi gubhaakagwile.
15 And later on he was in his house at table, and a number of tax-gatherers and outcasts took their places at table with Jesus and his disciples; for many of them were following him.
Kungai, a Yeshu gubhatemi nkulya shalya, nnyumba ja a Lawi. Bhakamula koli bhabhagwinji na bhakwetenje yambi bhananji, gubhatemingenenje nkulya, pamo na a Yeshu na bhaajiganywa bhabho. Pabha bhandu bhabhagwinji bhashinkwaakagulanga.
16 When the Teachers of the Law belonging to the party of the Pharisees saw that he was eating in the company of such people, they said to his disciples: “He is eating in the company of tax-gatherers and outcasts!”
Bhai, bhaajiganya shalia bha munkumbi gwa Mapalishayo, bhakaabhonanjeje a Yeshu bhalilya na bhakwetenje yambi na bhakamula koli, gubhaabhushiyenje bhaajiganywa bhabho, “Kwa nndi abha bhanalya na bhakamula koli na bhakwetenje yambi?”
17 Hearing this, Jesus said: “It is not those who are in health that need a doctor, but those who are ill. I did not come to call the religious, but the outcast.”
A Yeshu bhakaapilikananjeje gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Bhabhakotonji bhakakunnoleyanga mmitela, bhakunnoleyanga mmitela bhalwelenji. Nangajiya kukwaaloleyanga bhakwetenje aki, ikabheje bhakwetenje yambi.”
18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were keeping a fast, and people came and asked Jesus: “Why is it that John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, while yours do not?”
Gene mobhago bhaajiganywa bha a Yowana Bhabhatisha, na bha Mapashalishayo bhatendaga tabhanga. Bhai, gubhaikengene kukwaabhuya a Yeshu, “Bhaajiganywa bha a Yowana na bha Mapalishayo bhanaatabhanga, kwa nndi bhaajiganywa bhenu bhakaatabhanga?”
19 Jesus answered: “Can the bridegroom’s friends fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
A Yeshu gubhajangwile, “Bhuli, bhashemilwenje kundoa bhalipinjikwanga tabha akuno bhatemingene na nnyene nkulomba? Bhalinginji na nnyene nkulomba bhakaatabhanga.
20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom will be parted from them, and they will fast then — when that day comes.
Ikabheje shigaishe mobha nkulomba shashoywe, penepo shibhatabhanje.”
21 “No man ever sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; if he does, the patch tears away from it — the new from the old — and a worse rent is made.
“Bhandu bhakaakatanga shibhamba sha nngubho ja ambi nitotela munngubho ja bhukala. Na bhatendangaga nneyo, shibhamba sha nngubho ja ambisho, shipinga guluka nipapula nngubho ja bhukalajo, na papapwishepo shipapunde pwenguka.
22 And no man ever puts new wine into old wine-skins; if he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins are lost. But new wine is put into fresh skins.”
Wala bhandu bhakaataganga divai ja ambi mmipatila ja bhukala. Ibhaga bhatendangaga nneyo, divai ja ambijo shijikae mipatila ja bhukalajo, na divai na mipatila shijipwengushe. Divai jaambi pataga mmipatila jaambi!”
23 One Sabbath, as Jesus was walking through the cornfields, his disciples began to pick the ears of wheat as they went along.
Lyubha limo lya Pumulila, a Yeshu bhatendaga pita mmigunda ja ngano, bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhatandwibhenje kutema maashe ga ngano.
24 “Look!” the Pharisees said to him, “why are they doing what is not allowed on the Sabbath?”
Mapalishayo gubhaabhalanjilenje a Yeshu, “Nnole! Kwa nndi bhaajiganywa bhenu bhanatendanga shindu shikapinjikwa Lyubha lya Pumulila?”
25 “Have you never read,” answered Jesus, “what David did when he was in want and hungry, he and his companions —
A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Nkanabheshomanga shibhatendile a Daudi na ashaajabhonji pubhakwetenje shibhanga?
26 How he went into the House of God, in the time of Abiathar the High Priest, and ate ‘the consecrated bread,’ which only the priests are allowed to eat, and gave some to his comrades as well?”
Shibhashite jinjila Nniekalu, bhukala a Abhiashali pubhaaliji Bhakulungwa Bhaabhishila, gubhalile mikate jabhishilwe kwa a Nnungu. Jikapinjikwaga kuligwa ikabhe na bhaabhishilangape, numbe a Daudi gubhalile nikwaapanganga na ashaajabhonji?”
27 Then Jesus added: “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath;
Bhai, a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Lyubha lya Pumulila lyashinkubhikwa kwa ligongo lya bhandunji na nngabha bhandunji bhashinkubhikwanga kwa ligongo lya Lyubha lya Pumulila!
28 so the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
Kwa nneyo, Mwana juka Mundu, ni Nkulungwa, nkali jwa Lyubha lya Pumulila.”
