Marku 3
1 Pastaj ai hyri përsëri në sinagogë dhe aty ishte një njeri që kishte një dorë të tharë.
[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 Dhe ata po e ruanin në se do ta shëronte në ditën e së shtunës, që pastaj ta paditnin.
[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 Dhe ai i tha njeriut që e kishte dorën të tharë: “Çohu në mes të të gjithëve!”.
Jesus said to the man whose hand was shriveled, “Stand up here in front of everyone!” [So the man stood up].
4 Dhe u tha atyre: “A është e lejueshme ditën e së shtunës të bësh të mirë apo të keqe, të shpëtosh një jetë apo ta vrasësh?”. Por ata heshtnin.
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 Atëherë ai, si i shikoi rreth e qark me zemërim, i hidhëruar për ngurtësinë e zemrës së tyre, i tha atij njeriu: “Shtrije dorën tënde!”. Ai e shtriu, dhe dora e tij u shëndosh përsëri si tjetra.
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 Dhe farisenjtë dolën jashtë e menjëherë bënin këshill bashkë me herodianët kundër tij, se si ta vrasin.
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 Por Jezusi me dishepujt e vet u tërhoq drejt detit; dhe një turmë e madhe nga Galilea i ndoqi; edhe nga Judea;
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],
8 dhe nga Jeruzalemi, nga Idumea, nga përtej Jordanit; gjithashtu një turmë e madhe nga rrethinat Etiros dhe të Sidonit, kur dëgjoi gjërat e medha që ai bënte, erdhi tek ai.
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 Atëherë ai u tha dishepujve të tij të kenë gjithnjë gati një barkë, që populli mos e shtynte.
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].
10 Sepse ai kishte shëruar shumë veta, të gjithë që kishin sëmundje dyndeshin rreth tij që ta preknin.
11 Dhe frymërat e ndyrë, kur e shihnin, binin përmbys para tij dhe bërtitnin, duke thënë: “Ti je Biri i Perëndisë!”.
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)!”
12 Por ai i qortoi rreptësisht që të mos thonin se kush ishte ai.
He commanded the [evil spirits] strongly that they should not tell anyone who he was.
13 Pastaj ai u ngjit në mal dhe thirri pranë vetes ata që deshi. Dhe ata erdhën tek ai.
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 Dhe ai i caktoi dymbëdhjetë që të rrinin me të dhe që mund t’i dërgonte të predikojnë,
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 dhe të kishin pushtet të shëronin sëmundjet dhe të dëbonin demonët.
He also gave them power in order that they might expel evil spirits [from people].
16 Ata ishin: Simoni, të cilit ia vuri emrin Pjetër;
These were the twelve men he appointed: Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name Peter; his [younger] brother Andrew;
17 Jakobi, bir i Zebedeut, dhe Gjoni, vë-llai i Jakobit, të cilave ua vuri emrin Boanerges, që do të thotë: “Bij të bubullimës”;
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];
18 Andrea, Filipi, Bartolomeu, Mateu, Thomai, Jakobi i Alfeut, Tadeu, Simon Kananeasi,
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];
19 dhe Juda Iskarioti, i cili më pas e tradhëtoi.
and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]). He was the one who [later] (betrayed Jesus/helped Jesus’ enemies seize him).
20 Pastaj hynë në një shtëpi. Dhe u mblodh përsëri një turmë aq e madhe, sa që as bukë s’mund të hanin.
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 Dhe kur të afërmit e tij e morën vesh, shkuan ta marrin atë, sepse flitej: “Nuk është në vete”.
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 Kurse skribët, që kishin zbritur nga Jeruzalemi, thoshnin: “Ai e ka Beelzebubin dhe i dëbon demonët me princin e demonëve”.
[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 Por ai i thirri pranë vetes dhe u foli me anë të shëmbëlltyrave: “Si mund Satanai të dëbojë Satananë?
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 Në qoftë se një mbretëri është përçarë kundër vetvetes, ajo mbretëri nuk mund të qëndrojë.
If [people who live in the same] country are fighting one another, they will cease to be a single group under one ruler.
25 Dhe në qoftë se një shtëpi përçahet kundër vetvetes, ajo shtëpi nuk mund të qëndrojë.
And if [people who live in the same] house fight each other, they will certainly not remain [as one family].
26 Kështu, në se Satanai ngrihet kundër vetvetes dhe është përçarë, nuk mbahet dot, por i erdhi fundi!
Similarly, if Satan and his [evil spirits] were fighting one another, instead of remaining strong, he would become powerless.
27 Askush nuk mund të hyjë në shtëpinë e njeriut të fortë dhe t’ia grabitë pasuritë e tij, pa e lidhur më parë njeriun e fortë; vetëm atëherë mund t’ia plaçkitë shtëpinë.
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 Në të vërtetë po ju them se bijve të njerëzve do t’u falet çfarëdo mëkat dhe çdo blasfemi që do të thonë;
[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 Sepse ata thoshnin: “Ai ka një frymë të ndyrë!”.
[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 Ndërkaq erdhën vëllezërit e tij dhe e ëma dhe, si ndaluan përjashta, dërguan ta thërrasin.
Jesus’ mother and [younger] siblings arrived. While they stood outside, they sent [someone inside] in order to call him [outside].
32 Turma ishte ulur përreth tij; dhe i thanë: “Ja, nëna jote dhe vëllezërit e tu janë përjashta dhe po të kërkojnë”.
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 Por ai u përgjigj atyre duke thënë: “Kush është nëna ime, ose vëllezërit e mi?”.
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 Pastaj duke vështruar rreth e qark mbi ata që ishin ulur rreth tij, tha: “Ja nëna ime dhe vëllezërit e mi!
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 Sepse kushdo që bën vullnetin e Perëndisë, ai është vëllai im, motra ime dhe nëna!”.
Those who habitually do what God wants are [as dear to me] [MET] as my brother, my sister, or my mother!”
