Mark 3 (EKA) · Opened

1Jisos kehm kpe feere go etahk ero. Nne jolo o, no ebo ebe lohngo no.Once again Jesus entered the synagogue, and a man with a withered hand was there.

2Ane ba jolo o jo kpuru Jisos, joare á bahke limi nne noo, á nob efung Esabat. Tibre bo jo sebe ejum ji bo bahke kake Jisos ebi.In order to accuse Jesus, they were watching to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

3Jisos kehm bungu tong nne no ebo ebe ma lohng re, “Mehl, wo jeere ba!”Then Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, “Stand up among us.”

4Jisos kehm bahbe ane bako re, “Ejum aji atahm enyahre bungu re nne jo lim efung Esabat? Á jo kak nne eboa, afi á jo rannge na? Á tahre elkpin nnea, afi á rannge elkpin nne?” Jol ejumjum bo we faangem.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.

5Jisos, atahng kehm-e rake, eji á mehle no jang. Ndon kehm-e fere fili bada bo. Tibre bo bele etahnsi. Á kehm tongo nne noo re, “Tanne ebo eba!” Á kehm tanne ebo ebe, lohko nob tvtv.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.

6Bab Farisi kehm lohngo ekpꞌkpa ero jio o, kehm song kpiri alokeltum ntul a Herod. Bo kehm toobo ana bo bahke limi, kehm wulu Jisos.At this, the Pharisees went out and began plotting with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.

7Jisos kehm tahme eje, a abatꞌtoono ebe go eto ji Galili. Ellong ane tvv tꞌtoono bo.So Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea, accompanied by a large crowd from Galilee, Judea,

8Ane bao lohngo go Galili, Judea, Jeusalem, a Idume, go egbuk jehko ji Jodan, fere lohng go abon ajahbe ba li sennge Taya abola Saidon kak. Ellong ane gbalee ba goji Jisos, tibre bobwuk ana á kpꞌlimi.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.

9Jisos kehm tongo abatꞌtoono ebe re bo toobo egbang bum-e, eji ane lꞌki-e fahd kak.Jesus asked His disciples to have a boat ready for Him so that the crowd would not crush Him.

10Tibre á limi ane gbalee, bo nob ayam ebo. Owo wahnge aneb ayam bao kpee jo temme atemtem re bo song koor-e ebo.For He had healed so many that all who had diseases were pressing forward to touch Him.

11Abi atohko lꞌnyehn Jisos, bo jo gbꞌgbo jamm-e alahng, fere jo rabe tiim re, “Wo wo li Mmon no Esowo!”And when the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!”

12Jisos kehm rehke abi atohko nyao tꞌtahne re, bo kꞌtooro tong ane elkohn nne no ye li no.But He warned them sternly not to make Him known.

13Jisos kehm tahme go ewong ajehng, song lung ane bao ba á kpꞌsebe. Bo kehm bake.Then Jesus went up on the mountain and called for those He wanted, and they came to Him.

14Á kehm yehke ewubu ane abal, fere tong bo re, “M ma-n yehke re wahn jol a name. M bahk-n tumu re wahn song bung alum Esowo.He appointed twelve of them, whom He designated as apostles, to accompany Him, to be sent out to preach,

15Fvfo ḿ bahke bele nsahm nyi ḿ bahke jo kam abi atohko.”and to have authority to drive out demons.

16A wo li ewubu ane abal ba á yehke no, Saimon ji Jisos ka-e mbing nyehko re Pita,These are the twelve He appointed: Simon (whom He named Peter),

17Jems, a Jon, bo jolo abon ba Sibidi. Jisos ka bo abing nyako re Boanerges ji lohngo re, “abon ba li ana ndan”,James son of Zebedee and his brother John (whom He named Boanerges, meaning “Sons of Thunder”),

18Andru, Filip, Batolomi, Matiu, Tomos, Jems ji mmon no Alfeus, Tadeus, Saimon ji jo seb re ejahbe eje lohng go elwo ni aneb Rom,Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot,

19go Judas Iskariot ji gungu Jisos.and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.

20Jisos, a abatꞌtoono ebe, bo kehm feere kehnge go etahk. Ellong ane kehm kame na kam song rur. Jisos, a abatꞌtoono ebe belem eyake ji bo bahke lehke nsol.Then Jesus went home, and once again a crowd gathered, so that He and His disciples could not even eat.

21Ane ebe wuku kan a me, bo kehm bake re bo ba ko-e tahm a ne. Tibre bo jo bungu re, “Yebgbo esahl!”When His family heard about this, they went out to take custody of Him, saying, “He is out of His mind.”

22Atꞌtibi ba atahm bandiki ba lohngo go Jeusalem ba, kehm bungu re, “Á kpi etohko ji nnehm go ege eltim. Ntul a nnehm wo ka-e nsahm nyio re á jo kam ane abi atohko yehke.”And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and, “By the prince of the demons He drives out demons.”

23Jisos kehm lungu ane bao tv elne, kehm tuubu ngaane tong bo re, “Nnehm bahke ma kam elne renan?So Jesus called them together and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan?

24Ejahbe lꞌyab, jol ebo ebo, ejahbe jio bahke tane.If a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot stand.

25Nnahb lꞌyab, jol ebo ebo, nnahb nyio bahke tane.If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand.

26Eblehm lꞌkehme elnoko atemtem, ejahbe ebo lꞌyab, bahke tane.And if Satan is divided and rises against himself, he cannot stand; his end has come.

27Nnene limm, no bahke ma wa mbutahk yel go etahk etahntahn nne, song kpu nsol enye kpee, sehngem re no, á tohko gbo mbang gba etahntahn nne noo alehke, kehm ma yel ege ekpꞌkpa, song seb ajehng ajehng ji kor-e no rod.Indeed, no one can enter a strong man’s house to steal his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder his house.

28“Etingitingi, n kp-n tongo re, Ane bahke ma bel eltahmeka kpee go bo abiafem, a elsuku ni bo kpo su Esowo,Truly I tell you, the sons of men will be forgiven all sins and blasphemies, as many as they utter.

29wo, nne awohng awohng no lꞌfere lim abiafem, su Etingi Etohko, á nehm tiki bel eltahmeka go njinanjini. Abiafem nyao we nehm tiki laade go njinanjini.”But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of eternal sin.”

30Jisos bungu jia, tibre ane tvv jo tongo re, “Á kpi ebi etohko.”Jesus made this statement because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”

31Nnyehn Jisos, a abonanyehn Jisos kehm bake. Bo yiimi go elatahk, tum re bo lung-e.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came and stood outside. They sent someone in to summon Him,

32Ellong ane tvv ji sennge Jisos kak. Bo kehm-e tongo re, “Nyehnee, nne, a abonane ebba yiimi go elatahk kp-a sebe.”and a crowd was sitting around Him. “Look,” He was told, “Your mother and brothers are outside, asking for You.”

33Jisos kehm faange re, “Nne awo li li nnee? Ane aba li li abonanee?”But Jesus replied, “Who are My mother and My brothers?”

34Á kehm tabe esamahr wahre, jang ane kpee ba ji senng-e kak, kehm bungu re, “Nyehnen, a wo li babnnee, a abonanee.Looking at those seated in a circle around Him, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!

35Nne awohng awohng no lꞌlim ji Esowo kpꞌsebe re á lim, ye wo li mmonannee, a nnee.”For whoever does the will of God is My brother and sister and mother.”
