Markos 3
1 Yisa kuru a pira nan nya kuti Nlira kudya, umon unan kotun ncara yita nan nye.
[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 Idinaghe iyizi iyene sa aba shinu ninghe liri na Sabbath. Iwadin pizuru finu nliru fo na iba seghe nin tånu.
[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 Yisa woro unan kotun chare, ''Fita u yisin kitik mine,''
Jesus said to the man whose hand was shriveled, “Stand up here in front of everyone!” [So the man stood up].
4 A nin woro nanite, ''uchau nworu isu katwa ma gegeme liri na Sabbathe sa kananzang; isun ulaiya sa imolu?'' Itunna iso tik.
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 A gitirno ayenje nani vat nin tinanayi, bari ngbas nibinayi mine, aworon nnite, “Nakpa uchara fe.” A nakpa unin Yisa tunna akurtuno uni uchine.
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 A Farisawa nuzu deidei isu uzuru nan na Horidiyawa, i tere tinu mine urum, inan se libau nmolughe.
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 Yisa tunna a gya nin nono katwa me udu kurawa. Ligozin nanit gbardang dofino unuzun nan nya Galili nin Yahudiya,
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 nin nuzun nan nya Urushalima, Idumiya udu duru nbun urdun udu kusarin Tayar nin Sidon. Ligozin nanit lanza vat imon ile na awa din sue, itunna ida kitime.
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 A woro nanan katwa me iceo uzirgin nmyene susut, bara ligozi nanite wa pardizughe kang, bari gbardang mine, iwa masin nafo ima turunghe.
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 Ashino nin nanit kang, gbardang nale na iwa di nin tikonu ngangang wa din shò nati nwo ise ududughe.
11 Kubi ko na anan na gbergenu wa yeneghe, nò kutein nbun me nin kuchulu, iworo, “Fe Gono Kutellẹri.”
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 A kpada ani kang nin likara yeje iwa tinani anit yinighe.
He commanded the [evil spirits] strongly that they should not tell anyone who he was.
13 A ghana kitene likup, anin yichila ale na adin nin suwe itunna ida kitime.
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 A fere likure nin nan waba (ale na awa ninani lisa, nono kadura), bara inan so nin ghe ligowe anan tuzo nani udun di sun wazi,
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 inan se likaran nnutuzunu na gbergenu.
He also gave them power in order that they might expel evil spirits [from people].
16 A fere likure nin nan waba: Simon anaghe lisa Bitrus;
These were the twelve men he appointed: Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name Peter; his [younger] brother Andrew;
17 Yakubu usaun Zabedi, nin Yuhana gwanan Yakubu (alenge na awa ni nani lisa Boanerges, watu nonon ntutuzu);
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 nin Anderawus, Filibus, Bartalamawus, Matiyu, Toma, Yakub usaun Alfiyus, Taddawus, Simon Zelotu,
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 nin Yahuda Iskariyoti ule na aba lewughe.
and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]). He was the one who [later] (betrayed Jesus/helped Jesus’ enemies seize him).
20 A tunna a gya udu kilari, ligozin nanite zuro gbardang tutung na ise kubi nli nimonli wang ba.
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 Na anan game nlanza ubelenghe, inuzu udun di yichulughe, iworo kibinaye nwulu.
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 Anan niyerte na iwa dak unuzun Urshalime woro, “Adumun nagbergenu unuzun Beelzub,” tutung “nan nya likara ndya nagbergenuari adin nutunuzunu agbergene mun.”
[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 Yisa yicila nani udak kitime a belle nani uliru nin tinan tigoldo, “Iyiziari Shetan ba nutunu Shetan ku?
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 Kipin tigoh nwa gatizin kiwasa kiyisina ba.
If [people who live in the same] country are fighting one another, they will cease to be a single group under one ruler.
25 I wa din woro kilari ngatizinawang, na kiwasa kiyisina ba.
And if [people who live in the same] house fight each other, they will certainly not remain [as one family].
26 Andi Shetan nfita akoso litime, na awasa a se likara inyisinu ba, tutung imalin mere ine.
Similarly, if Satan and his [evil spirits] were fighting one another, instead of remaining strong, he would become powerless.
27 Na umon wasa apira kilarin nan likara a tuzu imonme sa uworo atu atere unan likare ba. Anin se likara likiri nimone nya kilare.
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 Kidegenghari ndin belu minu, vat nalapi nanit asurne iwasa ikusu anin, umunu ngbasin nazu lisa Kutellẹ na anit din su;
[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 Yisa wa belin ulire nani bara na iwa din du au “Adinin funu unanzang.”
[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 Uname nin nuana me da kitime ida yisina ndas. I tó iyicilaghe.
Jesus’ mother and [younger] siblings arrived. While they stood outside, they sent [someone inside] in order to call him [outside].
32 Ligozin sosino ikilighe, i lirina ninghe, “Naffine nin nuanafe yisin ndas, ayedi nani iyinin kiti ka na uduku.”
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 A kpana aworo nani, “A yaghari a nanighe nan nuananighe?”
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 A yenje anite na isosin na iwa kilinghe, a woro, “yenen alele re an nanigh nan nuana nighe!”
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 Vat nlenge na adin su imon kibinayj Kutellẹ, unitere gwananing kilime, a gwananing kishono, amere tutung unaning.”
Those who habitually do what God wants are [as dear to me] [MET] as my brother, my sister, or my mother!”
