Markos 8
1 Nanya nayiri ane, ligozin na nit gbardan, wa duku na iwa di nin nimonli ba. Yisa yicila nono kata me a woro nani,
During those days, a large crowd of people gathered again. [After they had been there a couple days], they had no food to eat. So Jesus summoned the disciples [to come closer] and then he said to them,
2 “In lanza nkunekune ligozine, bara na idi nin mi ayiri a tat sa imongli.
“This is the third day that these people have been with me, and they have nothing [left] to eat, so now I feel very sorry for them.
3 Inwa ti nani igya sa ulli ni mongli ima kuzu izintizo indina. Among mine na nucu niti nipït.”
Furthermore, if I send them home [while they are still] hungry, [some of] them will faint on the way home, because some of them have come from far away.”
4 Nono katame kawaghe, “Tima se akallang in burodi nweri ti ni anit alele nin kiti kane sa anit?”
[Knowing that he was suggesting that they give the people something to eat, one of] his disciples replied, “(We cannot possibly find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live!/How can we find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live?)” [RHQ]
5 A tirino nani, “Akalang nburodi amashin nari i dumun?” I woroghe, “Kuzor.”
Jesus asked them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” They replied, “[We have] seven [flat loaves].”
6 A ta ligozin na nite i sozọ kutin a sere a kallang kuzore. Na ata inlira, a pucu akallanghe ana nono kata me i koso ligozin nanite.
Jesus commanded the crowd, “Sit down on the ground!” [After they sat down], he took the seven loaves, he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces] and started giving them to his disciples in order that they might distribute them [to the people].
7 Iwa din nin nagir niboa, tutun na atta nlira ku, akuru ana nono katame i koso.
[They found that] they [also] had a few small [dried] fish. So after he thanked God for these, he told the disciples, “Distribute these also.” [After they distributed the bread and fish to the crowd],
8 Ileu ishito. I pitiro ingisin nimonlẹ, i kullo akuzun kuzur.
the people ate this food and they had plenty [to] satisfy [them]. [The disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over. [They filled] seven large baskets full of those pieces.
9 Anite waduru amui anass kikane. Yisa nin cino nani i gya.
[They estimated that] there were about 4,000 people [who ate on that day].
10 Na apira nanya zigin myen nin nono kata me, i gya udu kusarin Dalmanutha.
Then Jesus dismissed the crowd. Immediately after that, he got into the boat along with his disciples, and they went [around Lake Galilee] to Dalmanutha district.
11 Afarasiyawa nuzu ida ida cizina mayardan nanye. I pizira kulap kiti me inuzu kitene kani, inan dumunghe.
[In those days some] Pharisees came to Jesus. They asked him [to perform] a miracle [that would show that] God [had sent him]. They wanted to [find a way by which they could] convince the people to reject him. [So] they started to argue with him.
12 A Kpilliza nanya kibinayi me nanya nfip mi lau a woro, “I yarin ta ko kuje din piziru kulap? Kidegen in bellin minu, kuji kone mase kon kulap ba.”
Jesus sighed quietly to himself, and then he said, “I am disgusted that [RHQ], [even though] you people have seen how I [have healed people], you keep asking me to perform miracles! Note this: Such a miracle will certainly not be shown {I will certainly not show such a miracle} [just] for you people!”
13 A suna nani, a kuru a pira nan nya zirgin myen, udu uleli uwul kullẹ.
Then he left them. He got into the boat again, along [with his disciples], and they went further around [Lake Galilee].
14 Nono katwa me kuru I shawa uyirun borodi. Na iwa myen uborodi na uwa kata urum nangyen jirige ba.
The disciples had forgotten to bring along [enough] food. Specifically, they had only one flat loaf of bread with them in the boat.
15 A wuno nani atuf a woro, “Punon iyizi iyenje kiti bara iwa ming kuse na Farisawa nin wala mi kusen Hiridus.”
[As they were going], Jesus warned them against [the attitudes the Pharisees and Herod Antipas had, attitudes that were having a bad effect on other people. He did this by telling them a parable]. He said, “Be careful! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!”
16 Nono kata me kpilza nati mine, “Bara na ti di nin u'nburodi ba.”
[The disciples misunderstood him]. So they said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we have no bread.”
17 Yisa wa yiru illeli imone, anin woro nani, “In yarin ta idin kpilizu nbelleng diru nburodi? Idu sa uyinne? Na isa yino ba? Nibinayi mine nta ni lalangha?
Jesus knew [what they were discussing among themselves]. So he said to them, “([I am disappointed that you are] discussing about your not having enough bread!/Why are you discussing about your not having enough bread?) [RHQ] (You should understand by now [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food!/Why do you not yet perceive or understand that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] (You are not thinking!/Why are you not thinking?) [RHQ]
18 Idi nin nizi, na idin yenju ba? Idinin natuf na idin lanzu ba? na i lizino ba?
(I am also disappointed that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see!/Why is it that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see?) [RHQ] You have ears, but you do not understand [what I say] [RHQ]!” [Then he asked], “Do you not remember [what happened]
19 Nan nwa kosu anit amoiyi ataun akallang nborodi a taun a ngisin na kuzun acecek amashin nari iwa pitiru an borode?” I woro ghe, “Likure nin na ba.”
when I broke [only] five loaves [and fed] the 5.000 people [RHQ]? [Not only was everyone satisfied, but there was food left over] How many baskets full of pieces of bread [that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “We collected twelve baskets full.”
20 “Tutung na nwa kosu anit amoiyi anas akallang nburodi kuzor, akuzun acecek amashinari kagisin nburodi wa lawa?” I woro ghe, “Kuzor.”
Then he asked, “When I broke the seven loaves in order to [feed] the 4,000 people, [again when everyone had plenty to eat], how many large baskets [of pieces of bread that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “[We collected] seven [large baskets full].”
21 A woro nani, “Idu sa uyinuawa?”
Then he kept saying to them, “([I am disappointed that] you do not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]!/Why do you not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]?)” [RHQ]
22 I da Ubaitsaida. A nite ki kane daghe ning mong udü i fo Yisa ku acara a dudo ghe.
They arrived [in the boat] at Bethsaida [town]. People brought to Jesus a blind man and earnestly requested that Jesus touch him [in order to heal him].
23 Yisa kifo udüwe ncara, a nuzu ninghe nanya kagbire. Na atanghe ataf nizi a tarda ghe acara, a tiringhe, “Udin yenju nimomongha?”
Jesus took the hand of the blind man, led him outside the town, he put his saliva on the man’s eyes, he put his hands on the man, and then he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
24 A yene kitene, anin woro, “In yene anit nafo aca ale na adin gallu.”
The man looked up and then he said, “[Yes], I see people! They are walking around, but I cannot see them [clearly]. They look like trees!”
25 Akuru a tarda acara me nizi nnite, unite puno iyizi me, uyenju me kpilla lau, ayenje imong vat kanang.
Then Jesus again touched the eyes of the blind man. The man looked intently and at that moment he was completely healed! He could see everything clearly.
26 Yisa taghe agya udu killari me, anin woro, “Na uwa piru nanya kagbiri ba.”
Jesus said to him, “Do not go into the town! [First go straight home and tell the people there about what I did]!” Then he sent the man to his home.
27 Yisa nuzu nin nono kata me udu nanya kagbirin Siseriya Filipi. Na iwa din cinu libauwe atirino nono katame, “Anit din du menghari?”
Jesus and the disciples [left Bethsaida town and went to the villages near Caesarea Philippi town]. On the way he questioned them, “Who do people say that I [really] am?”
28 I kawaghe I woro, “Among dindu Yohanna unang sulsuzunu ulau. Among dü 'Iliya,' among tutun din su umong nanya nanang nliru nin nnu Kutellẹ.'”
They replied, “[Some people say] that you are John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say [that you are the prophet] Elijah [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. And others say that you are one of the [other former] prophets [who has come back to life again].”
29 A tirino nani, “Anung din su meng ghari?” Bitrus bellinghe, “Fere Kristi.”
He asked them, “What about you? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied to him, “[We believe that] you are the Messiah!”
30 Yisa wunno nani atuf na iwa belling umong ubelleng me ba.
Then Jesus warned them strongly that they should not tell anyone [yet that he was the Messiah].
31 A cizina udursuzu nani gono in nit ma niu nan nya nimon gbardang, a kune nan na Priestoci nan nanang niyerte ba narighe, I ma molughe, Kimal nayiri atat afita nanya kisek.
Then Jesus began to teach them, “[Even though] I am the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws reject me}, and that I be killed {they kill me}. But on the third day [after I am killed I] will become alive again.”
32 A benlle ulle ulire kanang. Bitrus yiraghe udu kasari kurum anin ghanan wunughe kutuf.
He said this to them clearly. But Peter took Jesus aside and then, [because he assumed that the Messiah would never die], he started to rebuke Jesus [for talking about dying].
33 Yisa gitirino a yene nono katame anin tunna a kpada Bitrus ku anin woroghe, “Kpilla kimal nin Shaitan! Na udin kpilzu imong Kutellẹ ba, ma ubelleng nimung na nit cas.”
Jesus turned around and looked at his disciples. Then he rebuked Peter, saying, “Stop thinking like that! Satan [is causing you to talk like that! Instead] of wanting what God wants [me to do, you are wanting] me to do [only] what [most] people [would want me to do].”
34 Anin yicila ligozin na nite nan nono kata me a woro “Asa umong di nin su a dorti, na anari liti me, a yira kuchan nkulme adofini.
Then he summoned the crowd along with his disciples [so that they might listen to him]. He told them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want to do. Specifically, you must [be willing to allow people to hurt you and to disgrace you. That is what they do to criminals] who are forced to carry crosses [MET] [to the places where they will be crucified]. That is what anyone who wants to be my disciple must do.
35 Bara ullenge na adinin su a se ullai sa ligan amaku, tutung ulenge na a dira ulai me bara meng nin liru nlai a ma se ulai.
[You must do that], because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] and [because of telling others my] good message will live [forever with me].
36 Iyaghari imong icine unit ma se use nimong inyï ullele vat, anin dira ulai me?
People might get everything [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples!]/what will they gain if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples]?) [RHQ]
37 Iyanghari unit ma serzu nin nlai me?
([Think carefully about the fact that] there is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life!/Is there anything that a person can give [to God] in order to gain eternal life?) [RHQ]
38 Vat ulenge na adin lanzu nci nin nin nliru ning nangya nko kuji ku zenzen nin kulapi, gono nit ma lanzu ncinme asa ada nan nya tigo ncif me nin nono kadura Kutellẹ.”
And think about this: Those who refuse [to say that they belong to] me and who reject what I say in these days when many people have turned away [from God] and are very sinful, I, the one who came from heaven, will also refuse [to say that they belong to me] when I come back with the holy angels and have the glorious brightness that my Father has!”
