Mark 9 (EKA) · Opened

1Jisos kehm soro asi elbungu re, “Etingitingi, n kp-n tongo re, Egom jindiki ji yim a, nehm tiki kpo, tete bo nyehn etul bi Esowo ma badde ba go njini nyia a nsahm a nsahm.”Then Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God arrive with power.”

2Kange kan nfung erakera, Jisos kehm yehke Pita, Jems, a Jon tahm a bo go ewong ji wahre wahre. Jisos kehm yaange ngubjing enye o.After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There He was transfigured before them.

3Nsol nyi á kake no kehm bare kparaang, fere jo yꞌya. Nnene limm go njini nyia, no bahke ma baare elkohn ana nio.His clothes became radiantly white, brighter than any launderer on earth could bleach them.

4Elaija abola Moses kehm lohngo ba bung a Jisos.And Elijah and Moses appeared before them, talking with Jesus.

5Pita kehm bungu tong Jisos re, “Nsoo, nꞌnob re wahr jol a. E bahke sehke nkpatahk na era, ebkpatahk behko bꞌba, behko bi Elaija, behko bi Moses.”Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

6Pita kahnem ana ji á bahke bungu, tibre bo jo fꞌfahl.For they were all so terrified that Peter did not know what else to say.

7Ekparesemsem kehm soro tahl ba bulu bo. Bo kehm wuku ellum go ekparesemsem re, “A wo li akor-m mmon ewame no kpo kor-m sꞌsehng. Wuken ye!”Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him!”

8Abatꞌtoono ebe kehm soro kehme eljange. Bo kpeem nyehn nnene, sehngem Jisos ntahngtahng wo bo nyehn-e no.Suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no one with them except Jesus.

9Eji bo jo badde abake go nnahb ewong, Jisos kehm rehke bo re, “Kana tiki tong nnene ji ń nyehne no, tete Mmon no nne nyahme go elkv.”As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus admonished them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

10Bo lohko bum erehke jio ji á kake bo. Bo kehm kehme elbungu atemtem re, “Elnyahme ngubjing go elkv nia lohngo renan?”So they kept this matter to themselves, discussing what it meant to rise from the dead.

11Bo kehm bahbe Jisos re, “Jen ji wahng ka atꞌtibi ba atahm kpo bung re, Elaija bahke tohko gbo mbang ba?”And they asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

12Á kehm faange bo re, “Elaija bahke tohko gbo mbang ba, ba tuungu nsol kpee bum. Nwer Esowo bungu renan bada Mmon no nne? Bungu re, Mmon no nne bahke nyehne erem, bo bahk-e tene.He replied, “Elijah does indeed come first, and he restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected?

13N kp-n tongo re, Elaija eblohko ba. Bo lim-e ana ji koro bo, jang jang ana nwer Esowo bungu no.”But I tell you that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they wished, just as it is written about him.”

14Bo feere kan ana, bo kehm ba kpiri abatꞌtoono baka gana, fere nyehn ellong ane tvv ma sennge bo kak. Atꞌtibi ba atahm bandiki jo limi nfaabe a abatꞌtoono Jisos.When they returned to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.

15Ane bao nyehne kan Jisos ana, kehm kpoko bo esi. Bo kehm soro be tvtv song wan-e, kak-e nnyo.As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were filled with awe and ran to greet Him.

16Jisos kehm bahbe bo re, “Jen ji wahnge ń kpꞌlꞌlim nfaabe?”“What are you disputing with them?” He asked.

17Nne awohng go ellong ane bao kehm faange re, “Nsoo, n ko mmon ewame ba a ne. Tibre á kpi ebi etohko go ege atahng. Á nehme ma bung.Someone in the crowd replied, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a spirit that makes him mute.

18Edi ajehng ajehng ji ebi etohko jio lꞌsi mehl-e mehl, kpo rod-e tub ndi, nfahl jo tub-e na tub go nnyo. Á kpo kono amahn go esi, fere tahne na tahne. Me n gboongo abatꞌtoono eba re, bo kam-e ebi etohko jio jehke. Bo maam lim.”Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”

19Jisos kehm tongo abatꞌtoono ebe re, “Jen ji wahnge ń kpi ekꞌtaame go egahna ntim? M bahke kange renan a nahne? Ko mmon noo, ba a ne!”“O unbelieving generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy to Me.”

20Bo ko-e kan a, ba a ne, ebi etohko jio nyehne kan Jisos a, á kehm limi mmon noo, á gbo ngboko, fere gbo ndi, kehm kehme elgbehde. Nfahl jo tub-e go nnyo.So they brought him, and seeing Jesus, the spirit immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.

21Jisos kehm bahbe nde re, “Ebkang renan eji eyam bia bom-e no?” Á kehm-e faange re, “Bomo ngare nyi á jolo mmonse ntiil, tete rehng anv.Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been with him?” “From childhood,” he said.

22Nkpel tvv ebi etohko jio kpo gare re á wul-e. Nkpel nyindiki tub-e kak agun. Nkpel nyindiki tub-e kak alahb. Nong, wahr fil-a ndon, wo kak-r ebo, tohk-a jahk!”“It often throws him into the fire or into the water, trying to kill him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”

23Jisos kehm bungu re, “Wobbung re, ‘Tohk-m jahk.’ Nne no lꞌtaame, ejumjum limm, ji bahk-e riidi.”“If You can?” echoed Jesus. “All things are possible to him who believes!”

24Nde kehm soro rabe tvtv re, “Me n taame, kak-m ebo go egame ekꞌtaame.”Immediately the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe; help my unbelief!”

25Eji Jisos nyehne re, ellong ane bao kpꞌkame ba rur, á kehm nyame ebi etohko jio, fere tong-e re, “Etohko ji kpo lim nne gbo ekamme, fere lak atung, ka kpe tiki yel mmon noa!”When Jesus saw that a crowd had come running, He rebuked the unclean spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” He said, “I command you to come out and never enter him again.”

26Tvtv o ebi etohko jio kehm biingi tiim, kehm soro yehke mmon noo, á gbo ngboko ekidi lꞌlab. Ebi etohko jio kehm soro lohng-e. Mmon noo kehm sake noongo, are nkvne nyi. Owo ane bandiki kehm kehme elbungu re, “Yebkpo.”After shrieking and convulsing him violently, the spirit came out. The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, “He is dead.”

27Jisos kehm jabbe mmon noo go ebo, tab-e yiimi, mmon noo lohko yiimi.But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.

28Jisos yele kan ekpꞌkpa me, abatꞌtoono ebe kehm bake, ba bahb-e eji bo jolo ebo ebo re, “Jen ji wahnge wahr ki ma kam mmon noo ebi etohko jio yehke?”After Jesus had gone into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

29Jisos kehm faange re, “Elkohn etohko ana jio, ń nehm ma tiki kam yehke, tohko tiki jol re, ero akake bi.”Jesus answered, “This kind cannot come out, except by prayer.”

30Bo kehm tahme ejahbe jio asongo go Galili. Jisos joom seb re nne awohng awohng kahn edi ji á li no.Going on from there, they passed through Galilee. But Jesus did not want anyone to know,

31Tibre á jo tibi abatꞌtoono ebe re, “Mmon no nne, bo bahk-e rodo, kak abi ane go ebo, bo bahk-e wulu. Lꞌkang nfung era, á nyahme, jol go elkpin.”because He was teaching His disciples. He told them, “The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill Him, and after three days He will rise.”

32Bo kahnem ji á jo bꞌbung. Bo jo fꞌfahl a ye bahb.But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

33Eji bo song rehng go Kapenium, bo kehm yele go ekpꞌkpa. Jisos kehm bahbe abatꞌtoono ebe re, “Jen ji wahnge ń jo lim nfaabe mbang mbang?”Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was in the house, He asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”

34Jol bo we faangem. Tibre bo jo limi nfaabe mbang mbang bada nne no li njꞌjoka nne go bo ellong.But they were silent, for on the way they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest.

35Jisos kehm jehke, kehm lungu abatꞌtoono ebe, ewubu ane abal tv elne, kehm bungu tong bo re, “Nne no lꞌtong re, ye wo li ntubesi, á bahke fere jol nkahlanjahm, fere jol nlokeltum no bahke jo loko ane kpee.”Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the last of all and the servant of all.”

36Á kehm koko mmonse ba yiimi go bo a mbuksong, kehm-e kpaake ebo, kehm bungu tong bo re,Then He had a little child stand among them. Taking the child in His arms, He said to them,

37“Nne no lꞌko mmonse ana noa a go egama mbing, á ma-m tob ko. Nne no lꞌko-m, á tob ko Nsoo no tum-m no.”“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes not only Me, but the One who sent Me.”

38Jon kehm bungu tong Jisos re, “Wahr ebnyehn nne no kpo kam ane abi atohko yehke go ega a mbing. Go egahre ellong á wobem. E sahd-e sahde re á rahke, tibre á wobem go egahre ellong.”John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone else driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”

39Jisos kehm faange re, “Kana ye sahde re á rahke. Tibre nnene limm, no bahke limi nkpokosi go egama mbing, kehm fere jo bung abꞌbi bada name.“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who performs a miracle in My name can turn around and speak evil of Me.

40Etingitingi, nne no tohk-r ko ekv, ye nne ewahre wo.For whoever is not against us is for us.

41Nne no lꞌka-n mmobtuku alahb tib eji ń li abatꞌtoono ba Kraist, á bahke bele eltuuru go etingitingi.”Indeed, if anyone gives you even a cup of water because you bear the name of Christ, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.

42Jisos kehm bungu re, “Ga nob re, bo kahn nne eltal go emel, tub-e kak alahb, sehnge re á lim mmonse no ma taame tv-m, á gbo yel abiafem.But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.

43“Ebo eba lꞌkehm-a limi re wo yel abiafem, kim ebo bio tub go. Ga nob re wo bel ebo abehng, kpo, yel ejahbetul Esowo, sehnge re wo bel abo abal abal, kpo, je ellulagun ni lꞌkꞌtiki lahme go njinanjini.If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two hands and go into hell, into the unquenchable fire.

44Go wo aroongo nya kpo li abi ane lꞌkꞌtiki kpo. Agun nehm tiki lahme.Not in the BSB

45“Ekpade eja lꞌkehm-a limi re wo yel abiafem, kim ekpade jio tub go. Ga nob re wo jen ekpade ajehng, kpo, yel ejahbetul Esowo, sehnge re wo jen akpade abal abal, kpo, je go ellulagun.If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.

46Go wo aroongo nya kpo li abi ane lꞌkꞌtiki kpo. Agun nehm tiki lahme.Not in the BSB

47“Elmahr ena lꞌkehm-a limi re wo yel abiafem, luudu elmahr nio tub go. Ga nob re wo bel elmahr anehng, kpo, yel ejahbetul Esowo, sehnge re wo bel amahr abal abal, kpo, je go ellulagun.And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,

48Go wo aroongo nya kpo li abi ane lꞌkꞌtiki kpo. Agun nehm tiki lahme.where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’

49“Nne awohng awohng, Esowo bahk-e doobo go agun.For everyone will be salted with fire.

50“Akang kpꞌnobo. Elyebe akang lꞌlohng, a bahke limi renan, kehm kpe yebe? Belen akang go egahne atahng. Jolen go elkoono atemtem!”Salt is good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
