Mark 2
1 [Jesus and his disciples] returned to Capernaum [town]. A few days later, because it was {people} heard that Jesus was in [his] house,
Mpopalapitako masuba, Yesu walabwela ku Kapelenawo, bantu balanyumfweti uli pang'anda mpwalikwikala.
2 many people gathered there. As a result, [after the people filled the house], there was no longer space to stand [in the house or outside] around the doorway. Jesus preached [God’s] message to them.
Neco bantu bangi balabungana pang'anda cakwinseti mwalalabula musena mung'anda nambi palubansa, pakwinga bantu balafulisha mpaka pacishinga. nsombi nendi walatatika kukambauka sha maswi a Lesa.
3 Some people came to the house bringing to Jesus a man who was paralyzed. He was carried by four men {Four men carried [him]} [on a sleeping pad].
Kwalashika bantu bana balikuba batatula muntu mulema ne kumuleta kuli Yesu.
4 They were not able to bring the man to Jesus because there was a crowd there. So they [went up the steps to the flat roof and] removed [some of] the tiles [above] where Jesus was. Then, after they made a [big] hole in the roof, they lowered [by ropes] the sleeping pad on which the paralyzed man lay. They lowered [it through the hole, down in front of Jesus].
Nomba baliya kushika nendi pepi ne Yesu, pakwinga kwalikuba bantu bangi. Neco balashimbulula pelu paciluli kwelana ne mpalikuba Yesu. mpobalashimbulula balamwingisha mulwashi usa kali wona pa mpasa.
5 After Jesus perceived that the men believed [that he could heal this man], he said to the paralyzed man, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
Nomba Yesu mpwalabona lushomo lwabo walambila muntu mulema usa eti, “O mwaname, bwipishi bwakobe bulalekelelwa.”
6 There were some men who taught [the Jewish] laws sitting there. They started thinking like this:
Lino beshikwiyisha milawo nabambi balikubapo balatatika kuyeyaula mu myoyo yabo eti,
7 “(Who does this man think he is, talking like that/This man shouldn’t talk like that!) [RHQ]? (He is insulting God!/Does he think he is God?) [RHQ] (No person can forgive sins!/Who can forgive sins?) [RHQ] Only God can forgive sins!”
“Nicani cilamwambinshinga cisa muntuyu? Lanyanshanga Lesa! Niyani welela kulekelela bwipishi? Sena nte Lesa enka?”
8 Jesus sensed that they were deliberating like that within themselves. So he said to them, “(You should not question within yourselves [whether I have the right to forgive this man’s sins]!/Why do you question [whether I have the right to forgive this man’s sins]?) [RHQ]
Pacindi copeleco Yesu walenshiba mu moyo mwakendi kwambeti encobalayeyenga, neco walabepusheti, “Inga mulayeyelenga cani bintu ibi mu myoyo yenu?
9 It is [not risky] [RHQ] for someone to tell the man who is paralyzed, ‘Your sins are forgiven {[I] forgive your sins},’ [because no one can prove that it has happened]. But no one would say to him, ‘Get up, pick up your stretcher, and then walk away’, [unless he really had the power to heal him, because people can easily see whether it happens or not].
Sena capubako cipeyo, kwambila muntu mulema eti, ‘Bwipishi bwakobe bulalekelelwa’ Nambi kwambeti, ‘Nyamuka manta mpasa yakobe wende.’
10 So I [will do something] in order that you may know that [God] has authorized me, the one who came from heaven, to forgive sins on earth [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the paralyzed man,
Neco, nindimuleshe kwambeti, Mwana Muntu nkute ngofu shakulekelela bwipishi pacishi capanshi.” Neco walambila muntu mulema usa,
11 “To you I say, ‘Get up! Pick up your sleeping pad! And then go home!’”
“Ndakwambalinga, nyamuka! Manta, mpasa yakobe koya kwenu!”
12 The man stood up immediately! He picked up the sleeping pad, and then he went away, while all the people [there] were watching. They were all amazed, and they praised God and said, “We have never before seen anything like [what happened] just now!”
Popelapo walapunduka ne kumanta mpasa yakendi, ne kutatika kulyendela enka pa menso pa cinyabwingi. Ici calankakamanisha bonse, neco, balamushikaisha Lesa ne kwambeti, “Bilicisa nkatunatubibonapo sobwe!”
13 Jesus left [Capernaum town again and walked with his disciples] alongside [Galilee] lake. A large crowd came to him. Then he taught them.
Kayi Yesu walendana mumbali mwa lwenje, bantu bangi balesa kulyendiye. nendi walatatika kubeyisha.
14 As he walked on further, he saw a man named Levi, whose other name was Matthew, and whose father’s name was Alpheus. He was sitting in his office where he collected taxes [for the Roman government]. Jesus said to him, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!” So he got up and went with Jesus.
Mpwalendanako walabona Levi mwanendi Alufeyo, kali wekala mu kanda kakusonkelamo musonko. Yesu walamwambileti, “Nkonkele.” Popelapo walanyamuka ne kumukonkela.
15 [Later], Jesus was eating a meal in Levi’s house. Many men who collected taxes and [other] people who were [considered to be] sinning regularly were eating with Jesus and his disciples. [This was not surprising], for there were many people like this who were going [everywhere] with Jesus.
Pacindi nacimbi Yesu mpwalikulya mung'anda ya Levi pamo ne beshikwiya bakendi, beshimisonko ne beshimicito yaipa balikulya pamo, pakwinga bantu bangi balikumukonkela.
16 The [men who taught the Jewish] laws [who were there] and who were members of the Pharisee [sect] saw that Jesus was eating with men who collected taxes and [others who were considered] {[whom they considered]} [to be] sinners. So they said to his disciples, “(It is disgusting that he eats with [such disgusting] men as those who collect taxes, and with [other] sinners!/Why is it that he eats with [such disgusting] men as those who collect taxes, and with [other] sinners?)” [RHQ]
Beshikwiyisha bamilawo ya Mose nabambi bamulikoto lyaba Falisi mpobalaboneti lalinga pamo ne bantu ba micito yaipa ne beshimisonko Balepusha beshikwiya ba Yesu eti, “Lalingeconi pamo ne beshimisonko ne beshimicito yaipa?”
17 After Jesus heard [what they were saying], he said to the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, “People who [consider that they] are well do not seek a doctor. On the contrary, it is those who are sick [who seek a doctor] [MET]!” [This he said to indicate that it was those who knew that they had sinned who were coming to him in order that he might help them spiritually]. And he said, “I did not come to invite people [who think that] [IRO] they are righteous [to come to me and turn from their sinful behavior]. On the contrary, I came [from heaven to invite] people who [know that they] are sinners, [in order that they might turn from their sins and come to me].”
Yesu mpwalanyumfwa, walabakumbuleti, “Bantu balabulunga kukolwa nkabakute kuyanda mung'anga sobwe, nsombi nibalwashi. Ndiya kwisakukuwa balulama sobwe, nsombi bamicito yaipa.”
18 The disciples of John [the Baptizer] and some men who belonged to the Pharisee [sect] used to abstain from food [to show that they wanted to please God]. One day, some people came [to Jesus] and asked him [critically], “The disciples of John and the Pharisees (fast/abstain from food) [from time to time], but your disciples do not. [We think they should abstain from food also. What do you say about that] [RHQ]?”
Beshikwiya ba Yohane Mubatishi kayi ne beshikwiya ba Bafalisi balo bakute kulikanisha kulya. Popelapo bantu nabambi balamwipusha Yesu, “Inga nipacebo cini beshikwiya ba Yohane kayi ne beshikwiya ba Bafalisi ncebakute kulikanisha kulya nomba benu nkabakute kulikanisha?”
19 [Jesus wanted them to understand that it was not appropriate for his disciples to show sorrow by abstaining from food while he was still with them]. So he said to them, “When a man is marrying a woman, his friends will certainly not abstain from food while he is still with them, will they [RHQ]? No. During the time that he is with them, they will not abstain from food [because they are happy together].
Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Sena shibwinga acibanga pamo ne mbwalatamba kubwinga ngabalikanisha kulya? Nkabela kulikanisha kulya sobwe.
20 But some day, he will be taken away {his [enemies] will take him away} from them. Then, in those days, they will abstain from food, [because they will be sad].”
Nomba nicikashike cindi ncotibakamufulepo shibwinga, pacindico nibakatatike kulikanisha kulya.”
21 [Jesus wanted to show that those who desire to live in accordance with his new message should not try to continue to obey the old religious traditions like fasting. So he also said to them], “People do not sew a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment [in order to mend a hole]. If they did that, [when they washed the garment, the patch would shrink] and the new [piece of cloth] would tear off more of the old cloth. As a result, the hole would become bigger!
Paliya muntu ukute kutunga cimami ca linolino pa mwinjila wakaindi, pakwinga ayinseco cimami ico inga cikokonyana nekumatula mwinjila wakaindi, ne kushiya cibwanko cinene pa mwinjila wakaindi usa.
22 [Similarly], people do not put newly [squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If they did that, that juice will burst the skin bags [because they would not stretch when the wine ferments and expands]. As a result both the wine and the skin bags would be ruined! On the contrary, people must put new wine into new skin bags!” [MET]
Paliya ukute kubika waini wamutumba mu cifwafumwa cacipaya cakaindi, pakwinga ayinseco, waini uwo ngaupasula cifwafumwa, kayi waini ne cifwafumwa byonse ngabitaika. Caina nikubika waini wamutumba mu cifwafumwa ca cipaya calinolino.
23 On one (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) Jesus was walking through some grain fields with his disciples. As they were walking along [through the grain fields], the disciples were plucking some of the heads of grain. [They rubbed them in their hands to remove the chaff, and were eating the grain. The laws of Moses permitted people to do that if they were hungry].
Pa Sabata busuba bwakupumwina bwa Bayuda, Yesu pamo ne beshikwiya bakendi balikupita pakati pa mabala a mayila, kabaya kuningula ngala shamaila.
24 [Some of] the Pharisees [saw them doing what they considered to be work. So they] said to him, “Look! (They should not be doing on our (Sabbath day/day of rest) [work] that our laws forbid!/Why are they doing on our (Sabbath day/day of rest) [work] that our laws forbid?) [RHQ]”
Bafalisi balamwipusha Yesu, “Inga, nicani beshikwiya bakobe n-cobalenshilinga bintu byabula kusumishiwa kwinsa pa busuba bwa kupumwina?”
25 [Jesus wanted to show them that the record in the Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food]. So he said to them, “[It is written in the Scriptures] what [our revered ancestor, King] David, did when he needed food, and both he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, but ([you do not think about what it implies./why do you not think about what it implies]?) [RHQ]
Nendi Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Sena muliya kubelengapo ncalensa Defeti pamo ne batuloba mbwalikuba nabo mpwobalanyumfwa nsala, nomba kabali babula cakulya
26 During the time Abiathar was high priest, David entered the big tent [where people worshipped] God [and asked for some bread. The high priest gave him some] of the loaves of bread. That bread was the bread he had presented to God. It was permitted in one of Moses’ laws that only the priests could eat that bread! But David ate some of it. Then he also gave some of it to the men who were with him. [But God did not consider that was wrong!]”
Nte usa walengila mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, pacindi Abiyatala mpwalikuba Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo, walalya shinkwa watondwa walikubengwa kuli Lesa. Balikuba basuminishiwa kulya ni beshimilumbowa bonka, nomba Dafeti walalya nekupako batuloba mbwalikuba nabo?”
27 Jesus said to them further, “[God] established (the day of rest/the Sabbath day) [to help] people! He did not create people to [obey rules about] (the Sabbath/the day of rest)!
Yesu walabambileti, “Sabata yalabikwapo pacebo ca muntu, muntu uliyakubikwako pacebo ca Sabata sobwe
28 And [think about this]: I am the one who came from heaven. So I have the authority [to determine what is right for my disciples to do] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day)!”
Ekwambeti Mwana Muntu ni Mwami wa bintu byonse, kayi wabusuba bwa Sabata.”
