Mark 3 (IGB) · Opened

1Nʼoge ọzọ, ọ banyere nʼụlọ ekpere, otu nwoke aka ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ nọkwa nʼebe ahụ.Once again Jesus entered the synagogue, and a man with a withered hand was there.

2Ụfọdụ 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.In order to accuse Jesus, they were watching to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

3Ma ọ gwara nwoke ahụ aka ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ sị, “Bilie guzoro nʼetiti ebe a.”Then Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, “Stand up among us.”

4Mgbe 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 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.

5O 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.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.

6Ngwangwa, ndị Farisii sitere nʼebe ahụ pụọ nʼiwe. Gaa soro ndị otu Herọd gbaa izu otu ha ga-esi laa ya nʼiyi.At this, the Pharisees went out and began plotting with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.

7Ma Jisọs na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sitere nʼebe ahụ pụọ gaa nọdụ nʼakụkụ osimiri. Igwe mmadụ ndị sitere na Galili sooro ya.So Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea, accompanied by a large crowd from Galilee, Judea,

8Mgbe 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.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.

9Nʼihi 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.Jesus asked His disciples to have a boat ready for Him so that the crowd would not crush Him.

10Nʼihi na ọ gwọọla ọtụtụ ndị ọrịa, nke mere na ndị bu ọrịa dị iche iche na-agbalịsị ike ịmetụ ya aka.For He had healed so many that all who had diseases were pressing forward to touch Him.

11Mgbe 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 when the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!”

12Ma ọ na-enyesi ha iwu ike ka ha hapụ ịkọwa onye ọ bụ.But He warned them sternly not to make Him known.

13Ọ rigooro nʼelu ugwu ma kpọrọ ndị ọ chọrọ nye onwe ya. Ha bịakwutekwara ya.Then Jesus went up on the mountain and called for those He wanted, and they came to Him.

14Ọ họpụtara mmadụ iri na abụọ ndị ya na ha ga-anọ, mee ha ndị ozi. Ndị ọ ga-ezipụ ikwusa oziọma,He appointed twelve of them, whom He designated as apostles, to accompany Him, to be sent out to preach,

15nakwa ndị ga-enwe ikike ịchụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ.and to have authority to drive out demons.

16Ndị a bụ mmadụ iri na abụọ ndị ọ họpụtara. Saimọn (onye ọ kpọrọ Pita).These are the twelve He appointed: Simon (whom He named Peter),

17Jemis nwa Zebedi na Jọn nwanne ya (ndị ọ gụgharịrị aha Boanajis, nke pụtara “ụmụ egbe eluigwe”),James son of Zebedee and his brother John (whom He named Boanerges, meaning “Sons of Thunder”),

18Andru, Filip, Batalomi, Matiu, Tọmọs, Jemis nwa Alfiọs, Tadiọs, Saimọn onye a na-akpọ Zilọt,Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot,

19na Judas Iskarịọt, onye raara ya nye.and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.

20Emesịa, ọ lọtara nʼụlọ, ma igwe mmadụ gbakọtakwara ọzọ nke mere na ha enweghị ohere iri nri.Then Jesus went home, and once again a crowd gathered, so that He and His disciples could not even eat.

21Mgbe ndị ikwu ya nụrụ nke a, ha bịara gbalịa idulata ya nʼụlọ ha, nʼihi na ndị mmadụ na-asị, “Isi adịghị ya mma.”When His family heard about this, they went out to take custody of Him, saying, “He is out of His mind.”

22Ma 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 come down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and, “By the prince of the demons He drives out demons.”

23Ma ọ kpọrọ ha jiri ilu gwa ha okwu sị, “Ekwensu ọ pụrụ ịchụpụ ekwensu?So Jesus called them together and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan?

24Ọ bụrụ na alaeze ekewa megide onwe ya alaeze ahụ apụghị iguzo.If a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot stand.

25Ọ bụrụ na ezinaụlọ ekewa megide onwe ya, ezinaụlọ ahụ apụghị iguzo.If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand.

26Ọ 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 is divided and rises against himself, he cannot stand; his end has come.

27Nʼezie, 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.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.

28Nʼezie agwa m unu, na a ga-agbaghara ụmụ mmadụ mmehie na nkwulu niile nke ha kwuru.Truly I tell you, the sons of men will be forgiven all sins and blasphemies, as many as they utter.

29Ma onye ọbụla ga-ekwulu Mmụọ Nsọ, enweghị ike ịgbaghara ya. Ọ bụ onye ikpe mmehie ebighị ebi mara.”But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of eternal sin.”

30O kwuru nke a nʼihi na ha na-asị, “Mmụọ na-adịghị ọcha bi nʼime ya.”Jesus made this statement because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”

31Mgbe ahụ, nne ya na ụmụnne ya ndị nwoke bịara, guzoro nʼezi. Ha ziri ozi ka a kpọọ ya.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came and stood outside. They sent someone in to summon Him,

32Igwe 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 a crowd was sitting around Him. “Look,” He was told, “Your mother and brothers are outside, asking for You.”

33Ọ zara sị, “Onye bụ nne m, ndị ole bụkwa ụmụnne m ndị nwoke?”But Jesus replied, “Who are My mother and My brothers?”

34Mgbe ahụ, o lere ndị nọ ya gburugburu anya ma sị, “Ndị a bụ nne m, na ụmụnne m ndị nwoke!Looking at those seated in a circle around Him, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!

35Onye ọbụla na-eme uche Chineke bụ nwanne m nwoke, na nwanne m nwanyị, na nne m.”For whoever does the will of God is My brother and sister and mother.”
