Mark 2 (CUG) · Opened

1Asi kaŋ yidɔkɔ ni tsə, Jisɔs fiəni tsə i Kafanaum. Bəni wɔkɔ a wi si num lɔ i dzu,A few days later Jesus went back to Capernaum. And when the people heard that He was home,

2bɔ ka juŋniki dzəki i fɛiŋ bəduli, dzəh nì kɔkə fɛiŋ ka mi tɔm gvu na bəh i dzaka kifiəŋə wə. Wi ka bə́ fuku gia yi Nyɔ i bɔ.they gathered in such large numbers that there was no more room, not even outside the door, as Jesus spoke the word to them.

3Bəni bədɔkɔ bənaa ka dzəki bəh mi widɔkɔ i wi num bɔ buŋ wi i kimbuŋ wə, num wi kpi wa wimu.Then a paralytic was brought to Him, carried by four men.

4Yi gaka bɔ i liə tsə bəh wi i Jisɔs wə kɔm bəni ni faaŋniki lə nalə. Bɔ ka yaka num i fwu wi juŋ bɛiŋ, tɔ kiyəə i di biə Jisɔs nì num. Si bɔ tɔ yakadəiŋ, ka shisi mi wiwɔ i kimbuŋ kə wi nì nɔki yɛiŋ wə.Since they were unable to get to Jesus through the crowd, they uncovered the roof above Him, made an opening, and lowered the paralytic on his mat.

5Jisɔs yɛiŋ si bɔ jiə shɔm i wi wə, wi ka dzaka i mi wə wi nì kɔ num wi kpi wa wimu a, “Nsɛiŋ wuŋ, mih dalinya lɔ chu bia.”When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

6Bəni bədɔkɔ bə̀ bɔ nì laniki bənchi bə Nyɔ bɔ num fɛiŋ ka wɔkɔ yaka, ka shwiŋyiki i shɔm yibɔ wə, bikə a,But some of the scribes were sitting there and thinking in their hearts,

7“Mi wələ dzakaki dəiŋ lə a? Wi dzɔki di bi Nyɔ. Akɔ ndə wə wi kɔ i dalinya chu a kɔbi a Nyɔ shəŋ a?”“Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

8Jisɔs ka kiə i shɔm yi wə gia yə bɔ ni kwakaki, ka bikə i bɔ a, “Mbɛiŋ biələ biŋkwaka kaŋaki i shɔ́m yimbɛiŋ wə lə kɔm nə a?At once Jesus knew in His spirit that they were thinking this way within themselves. “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?” He asked.

9Yə yi bɔniki i dzaka i mi wələ kɔ yi naiŋ a? I dzaka a mih dalinya lɔ chu bi, ma a wi dzɔ̂ kimbuŋ ki wi tsə̂ki a?“Which is easier: to say to a paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?

10Ayakalə, mih nəŋki i fə a mbɛiŋ kiə a mi wə yɛli wi kɔ Waiŋmi kaŋaki lə ŋga i fa kuku i dalinya chu.” Ayaka wi ka dzaka i mi wə wi nì kpi wa wimu a,But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic,

11“Mih dzakaki i wɔ, dzâ bɛiŋ wɔ dzɔ̂ kimbuŋ ka wɔ tsə̂ i wɔ dzu.”“I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

12Wi dza bɛiŋ, ka dzɔ kimbuŋ ki ka buku, bəni bəchi tsɛiŋ wi. Ayaka bɔ tsɛiŋ lə, dzaka wɔm bɔ, bɔ ka tumki bikum bi Nyɔ, dzaka a, “Buku kɛiŋki ki yɛiŋ kə gia yidɔkɔ ka yələ.”And immediately the man got up, picked up his mat, and walked out in front of them all. As a result, they were all astounded and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

13Jisɔs chu nyə ka tsə kɔmsi i kinchwɔ kimbum kpəŋ, mbaŋ wi bəni dzə i wi kpəŋ, wi ka yisi i laniki bɔ.Once again Jesus went out beside the sea. All the people came to Him, and He taught them there.

14Asi wi nì nyaniki tsəki, wi yɛiŋ Lɛwi waiŋ Alfiyus, wi num i di bi bi nɔm wə, wi kwa kiŋwakti. Jisɔs ka dzaka i wi a, “Wɔ bîəli mih.” Wi ka dza bɛiŋ ka biəli wi.As He was walking along, He saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Levi got up and followed Him.

15Jisɔs bəh bwa bu bə mbaŋ ni tsə ka dziki i Lɛwi dzu bəh bəni bə̀ bɔ nì kwaki kiŋwakti bəh bəni bəchu bədɔkɔ tə, kɔm bəni ka bələ nì biəliki lə wi bəduli nalə.While Jesus was dining at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with Him and His disciples—for there were many who followed Him.

16Jɔbi wə Bəfalasi bə̀ bɔ nì laniki nnyaki bənchi bə Nyɔ yɛiŋ si Jisɔs dziki bəh bəni bəchu bəh bə̀ bɔ nì kwaki kiŋwakti, ka bikə i bwa bu bə mbaŋ a, “Akɔ kɔm nə wi dziki bəh bəni bə̀ bɔ kwaki kiŋwakti bəh bəni bəchu bədɔkɔ a?”When the scribes who were Pharisees saw Jesus eating with these people, they asked His disciples, “Why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

17Jisɔs wɔkɔ si bɔ bikəki, ka dzaka i bɔ a, “Bəni bə̀ bɔ gwɛiŋki kə si nəŋ kə mi wi chukuni. Asi nəŋ num bə̀ bɔ gwɛiŋki. Mih ka dzə dəkə i bɔɔŋ bəni bə̀ bɔ kɔ chəŋ. Mih dzə i bɔɔŋ num bəchu.”On hearing this, Jesus told them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

18Yi dzə num a, bwa bə mbaŋ bə Jɔn Njulibɔkɔ, bəh Bəfalasi nì bamki lə dzaka. Bəni bədɔkɔ ka dzə bikə i Jisɔs a, “Akɔ kɔm nə wə bwa bə mbaŋ bə Jɔn, bəh bə Bəfalasi bamki dzaka, bwa ba bə mbaŋ bam kə a?”Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were often fasting. So people came to Jesus and asked, “Why don’t Your disciples fast like John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees?”

19Jisɔs chukuli i bɔ a, “Bə kɔlə i laka bəni i dzini bi miŋkpaŋa wimfiaŋ wə, ma bɔ chu dzə bamki dzaka nyum miŋkpaŋa wiwɔ num fɛiŋ bəh bɔ a? Bɔ kɔkə i bamki dzaka wi num bəh bɔ.Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them? As long as He is with them, they cannot fast.

20Ayakalə, kaŋ dzəki lə yə bə bi dzɔ bwili nyum miŋkpaŋa wiwɔ i bɔ, ma bɔ bi ka yisi i bamki dzaka i jɔbi wiwɔ wə.But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

21Mi kɔkə i dzɔ kinchumni kimbuŋ kimfiaŋ, i kwɔyi mbuŋ wikpu yɛiŋ. Wi ka fə yakadəiŋ, ma kinchumni kimbuŋ kimfiaŋ kiwɔ ni taŋa kaasi mbuŋ wikpu wiwɔ, ma dzəŋə yiwɔ ni chu na yimbum.No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the new piece will pull away from the old, and a worse tear will result.

22Mi kɔkə i dzɔ tə mbih mimfiaŋ i jiə i kiŋgəə ki mbih kikpu kə bə kɛiŋsi bəh dzu yi nyam. Wi ka fə yakadəiŋ, mbih mimfiaŋ miwɔ ni biəŋə wɔɔ kiŋgəə kikpu kiwɔ, mbih miwɔ i kiŋgəə kiwɔ wə ni laka kilɔlɔ. Yi kɔ a, bə kaŋaki i jiə mbih mimfiaŋ num i kiŋgəə kimfiaŋ wə.”And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.”

23A nì kɔ i chɔkɔ bimbam bidɔkɔ wə, Jisɔs bəh bwa bu bə mbaŋ ka nyaniki tsəki tɔliki i kikhə kigəŋ kidɔkɔ wə. Bwa bu bə mbaŋ ka yisi i təiŋyiki kifwu kigəŋ fiksi dzi.One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain as they walked along.

24Bəfalasi yɛiŋ yakadəiŋ, bikə i Jisɔs a, “Yɛiŋ na, akɔ kɔm nə wə bwa ba bə mbaŋ fəki gia yə nchi ka bum dəkə a mi fə̂ki i chɔkɔ bimbam wə a?”So the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

25Jisɔs bikə tə i bɔ a, “Mbɛiŋ ka num fa dəkə i Kiŋwakti ki Nyɔ wə si dzɔŋ nì wɔɔki ŋkuŋ Dɛbit bəh mbaŋ wi, wi fə a?Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?

26A nì kɔ jɔbi wə Abiata nì kɔ fwu i bətii mfə gia, Dɛbit liə i juŋ yi Nyɔ mə wi dzɔ blɛd wə bə nì baa jiə a akɔ wi Nyɔ, dzi chu nya tə mbaŋ wi yɛiŋ, num a nì kɔ nchi bum kə a mi kɔlə i dzî blɛd wiwɔ a kɔbi a bətii mfə gia.”During the high priesthood of Abiathar, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which was lawful only for the priests. And he gave some to his companions as well.”

27Jisɔs dzaka kaasi i bɔ a, “Nyɔ nì jiə chɔkɔ bimbam kɔm mi. Wi nì ka maa mi kɔm chɔkɔ bimbam.Then Jesus declared, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

28Ayakadəiŋ, mi wə yɛli wi kɔ Waiŋmi kɔ Bah na bəh wi chɔkɔ bi mbam.”Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
