1Ayakadəiŋ, Jisɔs nì chu tsə liə i juŋ yi tsani wə. Mi widɔkɔ num bəh tsɛiŋ yi kpili.Once again Jesus entered the synagogue, and a man with a withered hand was there.

3Jisɔs dzaka i mi wə tsɛiŋ yi nì kɔ yi kpi a, “Dzâ bɛiŋ wɔ dzə̂ fa.”Then Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, “Stand up among us.”

4Si wi dzə, Jisɔs bikə i bəni a, “Gia yə nchi bumki a mi fə̂ i chɔkɔ bimbam wə kɔ yi naiŋ na? I fə̂ gia yindzɔŋni, ma yichu a? I bwîli mi, ma i wɔ̂ɔ lɔ a?” Ayakalə, bɔ kpichumi mɔŋ.And He asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” But they were silent.

5Jisɔs tsɛiŋ tali bɔ bəchi bəh tɔɔ wi bɔkɔli, gwu kpi wi kɔm bə shɔm yibɔ yichu. Wi dzaka i mi wə tsɛiŋ yi nì kɔ yi kpi a, “Nâni tsɛiŋ ya.” Wi nani yi kaa ka bɔnih.Jesus looked around at them with anger and sorrow at their hardness of heart. Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored.

6Bəfalasi ka buku, tsə bəh mbaŋ wi bəni bə Ŋkuŋ Hɛlɔd i kɛiŋsi akisəkə si bɔ nì fə ka bɔ wɔɔ Jisɔs.At this, the Pharisees went out and began plotting with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.

7Jisɔs bəh bwa bu bə mbaŋ ka nyə fɛiŋ tsə i kinchwɔ kimbum ki Galili wə. Mbaŋ wi bəni bəduli biəli wi. Bəni bədɔkɔ nì nyəki dzəki i bimbu ki Galili wə bəh ki Judea wə.So Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea, accompanied by a large crowd from Galilee, Judea,

Mbaŋ wiwɔ nì dzə yaka kɔm bɔ nì wɔkɔ gia yə wi nì fəki yichi.Jerusalem, Idumea, the region beyond the Jordan, and the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon. The large crowd came to Him when they heard what great things He was doing.

9Jisɔs dza dzaka a bwa bu bə mbaŋ nəŋ kɛiŋsi jiə ŋgwuki ka wi liə yɛiŋ kɔm mbaŋ nì dzə kwu baŋ wi.Jesus asked His disciples to have a boat ready for Him so that the crowd would not crush Him.

10Wi nì dzaka yakadəiŋ kɔm wi nì kɔ wi chuku lɔ bəni bəduli, ka bəni bə jwɛiŋ ma dzəki kɔmki wi.For He had healed so many that all who had diseases were pressing forward to touch Him.

11Bəni bə̀ biŋ'waka bichu nì njiŋsiki bɔ nì yɛiŋki Jisɔs bɔ ka gbɔyiki i wi nshiŋ wamyi dzaka a, “Wɔ kɔ Waiŋ Nyɔ.”And when the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!”

21Jɔbi wə chwɔŋkijuŋ ki nì wɔkɔ, ka tsə i dzɔ wi kɔm bəni nì dzaka a wi yuŋsiki lə.When His family heard about this, they went out to take custody of Him, saying, “He is out of His mind.”

23Ayakadəiŋ, Jisɔs bɔɔŋ bɔ, bikə i bɔ i ndi wə a, “Satan kɔ i fiəni bwili gwu yi i mi wə dəiŋ wə a?So Jesus called them together and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan?

24Tumi ka gaali dza ka jwɔki a kiki, ki ni chu num kə.If a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot stand.

25Juŋ ka gaali, dza ka jwɔki a yiyi, yi ni chu num kə.If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand.

26Satan ka dza gaali bəh mbaŋ wi ka bə́ jwɔki a bɔ bɔ, wi nì chu num kə, ayakalə yaka kiŋgɔksi ki si tsə a ŋka wə.And if Satan is divided and rises against himself, he cannot stand; his end has come.

Then he can plunder his house.

28Mih fukuki ŋkɔŋ i mbɛiŋ a, Nyɔ kɔlə i dalinya gia yichu bəh ja yichu yichi yə bəni dzakaki kɔm wi.Truly I tell you, the sons of men will be forgiven all sins and blasphemies, as many as they utter.

29Ayakalə, na ndə wə wi dzaka ja yichu i fwu wi Kiŋ'waka ki Baiŋni wə, yi kɔ a Nyɔ bi dalinya kə wi, kɔm wi fə chu bi kpamu.”But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of eternal sin.”

30Jisɔs nì dzaka yaka kɔm bəni bədɔkɔ nì dzaka a kiŋ'waka ki jisi kɔlə i gwu yi wə.Jesus made this statement because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”

31Nih Jisɔs bəh bwa bə nih bə Jisɔs ka dzə, num i biŋ, faaŋ mi widɔkɔ a wi bɔɔŋ wi.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came and stood outside. They sent someone in to summon Him,

32A nì kɔ mbaŋ wi bəni num fiəli ka juŋni baŋ wi. Bɔ dzaka i wi a, “Nih wa bəh bwa bə nah kɔ i biŋ bikə wɔ.”and a crowd was sitting around Him. “Look,” He was told, “Your mother and brothers are outside, asking for You.”
