Mak 3
1 Nʼoge ọzọ, ọ banyere nʼụlọ ekpere, otu nwoke aka ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ nọkwa nʼebe ahụ.
And again, he entered into the synagogue. And there was a man there who had a withered hand.
2 Ụfọdụ ha nọ na-achọ ụzọ ha ga-esi boo ya ebubo, ya mere ha lekwasịrị ya anya ịhụ ma ọ ga-agwọ ya ọrịa nʼụbọchị izuike.
And they observed him, to see if he would cure on the Sabbaths, so that they might accuse him.
3 Ma ọ gwara nwoke ahụ aka ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ sị, “Bilie guzoro nʼetiti ebe a.”
And he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Stand up in the middle.”
4 Mgbe ahụ ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Olee nke ziri ezi nʼiwu ime nʼụbọchị izuike: ọ bụ ime ezi ihe ka ọ bụ ime ihe ọjọọ, ịzọpụta ndụ ka ọ bụ ịla ndụ nʼiyi?” Ma ha gbachiri nkịtị.
And he said to them: “Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbaths, or to do evil, to give health to a life, or to destroy?” But they remained silent.
5 O lere ha anya nʼiwe, o wutere ya nʼihi na obi ha kpọrọ nkụ. Ọ sịrị nwoke ahụ, “Setịpụ aka gị.” O setịpụrụ aka ya, aka ya dizikwara nke ọma.
And looking around at them with anger, being very saddened over the blindness of their hearts, he said to the man, “Extend your hand.” And he extended it, and his hand was restored to him.
6 Ngwangwa, ndị Farisii sitere nʼebe ahụ pụọ nʼiwe. Gaa soro ndị otu Herọd gbaa izu otu ha ga-esi laa ya nʼiyi.
Then the Pharisees, going out, immediately took counsel with the Herodians against him, as to how they might destroy him.
7 Ma Jisọs na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sitere nʼebe ahụ pụọ gaa nọdụ nʼakụkụ osimiri. Igwe mmadụ ndị sitere na Galili sooro ya.
But Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea. And a great crowd followed him from Galilee and Judea,
8 Mgbe ha nụrụ ihe niile ọ na-eme, ọtụtụ mmadụ bịakwutere ya site na Judịa, na Jerusalem, na Idumia na obodo ndị dị nʼofe Jọdan, na gburugburu Taịa na Saịdọn.
and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and across the Jordan. And those around Tyre and Sidon, upon hearing what he was doing, came to him in a great multitude.
9 Nʼihi ịdị ukwuu nke igwe mmadụ ahụ, ọ gwara ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ka ha debere ya ụgbọ mmiri nta nso ka ọ banye, iji gbochie igwe mmadụ ahụ ịkpagbu ya.
And he told his disciples that a small boat would be useful to him, because of the crowd, lest they press upon him.
10 Nʼihi na ọ gwọọla ọtụtụ ndị ọrịa, nke mere na ndị bu ọrịa dị iche iche na-agbalịsị ike ịmetụ ya aka.
For he healed so many, that as many of them as had wounds would rush toward him in order to touch him.
11 Mgbe ọbụla kwa ndị mmụọ na-adịghị ọcha bi nʼime ha hụrụ ya, ha na-ada nʼala nʼihu ya na-eti mkpu na-asị, “Ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke!”
And the unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell prostrate before him. And they cried out, saying,
12 Ma ọ na-enyesi ha iwu ike ka ha hapụ ịkọwa onye ọ bụ.
“You are the Son of God.” And he strongly admonished them, lest they make him known.
13 Ọ rigooro nʼelu ugwu ma kpọrọ ndị ọ chọrọ nye onwe ya. Ha bịakwutekwara ya.
And ascending onto a mountain, he called to himself those whom he willed, and they came to him.
14 Ọ họpụtara mmadụ iri na abụọ ndị ya na ha ga-anọ, mee ha ndị ozi. Ndị ọ ga-ezipụ ikwusa oziọma,
And he acted so that the twelve would be with him, and so that he might send them out to preach.
15 nakwa ndị ga-enwe ikike ịchụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ.
And he gave them authority to cure infirmities, and to cast out demons:
16 Ndị a bụ mmadụ iri na abụọ ndị ọ họpụtara. Saimọn (onye ọ kpọrọ Pita).
and he imposed on Simon the name Peter;
17 Jemis nwa Zebedi na Jọn nwanne ya (ndị ọ gụgharịrị aha Boanajis, nke pụtara “ụmụ egbe eluigwe”),
and also he imposed on James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, the name ‘Boanerges,’ that is, ‘Sons of Thunder;’
18 Andru, Filip, Batalomi, Matiu, Tọmọs, Jemis nwa Alfiọs, Tadiọs, Saimọn onye a na-akpọ Zilọt,
and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
19 na Judas Iskarịọt, onye raara ya nye.
and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
20 Emesịa, ọ lọtara nʼụlọ, ma igwe mmadụ gbakọtakwara ọzọ nke mere na ha enweghị ohere iri nri.
And they went to a house, and the crowd gathered together again, so much so that they were not even able to eat bread.
21 Mgbe ndị ikwu ya nụrụ nke a, ha bịara gbalịa idulata ya nʼụlọ ha, nʼihi na ndị mmadụ na-asị, “Isi adịghị ya mma.”
And when his own had heard of it, they went out to take hold of him. For they said: “Because he has gone mad.”
22 Ma ndị ozizi iwu si Jerusalem bịa sịrị, “Mmụọ Belzebub bi nʼime ya! Ọ bụkwa nʼike onyeisi ndị mmụọ ọjọọ ka o ji achụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ.”
And the scribes who had descended from Jerusalem said, “Because he has Beelzebub, and because by the prince of demons does he cast out demons.”
23 Ma ọ kpọrọ ha jiri ilu gwa ha okwu sị, “Ekwensu ọ pụrụ ịchụpụ ekwensu?
And having called them together, he spoke to them in parables: “How can Satan cast out Satan?
24 Ọ bụrụ na alaeze ekewa megide onwe ya alaeze ahụ apụghị iguzo.
For if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom is not able to stand.
25 Ọ bụrụ na ezinaụlọ ekewa megide onwe ya, ezinaụlọ ahụ apụghị iguzo.
And if a house is divided against itself, that house is not able to stand.
26 Ọ bụrụkwa na ekwensu ebilie megide onwe ya si otu a nwee nkewa, o nweghị ike iguzo; kama ọgwụgwụ oge ya abịala nso.
And if Satan has risen up against himself, he would be divided, and he would not be able to stand; instead he reaches the end.
27 Nʼezie, ọ dịghị onye nwere ike ịbanye nʼụlọ nwoke dị ike kwakọrọ ngwongwo ya niile, ma o bughị ụzọ kee nwoke ahụ siri ike agbụ. Mgbe ahụ ọ ga-enwe ike ịbanye nʼụlọ ya, zukọrọ ngwongwo ya niile.
No one is able to plunder the goods of a strong man, having entered into the house, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he shall plunder his house.
28 Nʼezie agwa m unu, na a ga-agbaghara ụmụ mmadụ mmehie na nkwulu niile nke ha kwuru.
Amen I say to you, that all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and the blasphemies by which they will have blasphemed.
30 O kwuru nke a nʼihi na ha na-asị, “Mmụọ na-adịghị ọcha bi nʼime ya.”
For they said: “He has an unclean spirit.”
31 Mgbe ahụ, nne ya na ụmụnne ya ndị nwoke bịara, guzoro nʼezi. Ha ziri ozi ka a kpọọ ya.
And his mother and brothers arrived. And standing outside, they sent to him, calling him.
32 Igwe mmadụ gbara ya gburugburu mgbe ahụ gwara ya sị, “Lee, nne gị na ụmụnne gị ndị nwoke na ndị nwanyị guzo nʼezi. Ha chọrọ ịhụ gị.”
And the crowd was sitting around him. And they said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers are outside, seeking you.”
33 Ọ zara sị, “Onye bụ nne m, ndị ole bụkwa ụmụnne m ndị nwoke?”
And responding to them, he said, “Who is my mother and my brothers?”
34 Mgbe ahụ, o lere ndị nọ ya gburugburu anya ma sị, “Ndị a bụ nne m, na ụmụnne m ndị nwoke!
And looking around at those who were sitting all around him, he said: “Behold, my mother and my brothers.
35 Onye ọbụla na-eme uche Chineke bụ nwanne m nwoke, na nwanne m nwanyị, na nne m.”
For whoever has done the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister and mother.”
