Mark 2 (IKZ) · Opened

1Yɨɨsu akagarʉka naatu Kapɨrinaumu. Zɨkahɨta sikʉ suuhu, abhaatʉ bhakiigwa kʉbha arɨ yɨɨka.A few days later Jesus went back to Capernaum. And when the people heard that He was home,

2Bhakiibhiringa bhaaru munyumba murya, kuhika kukisikʉ hataarɨ na hakʉhɨta. Yɨɨsu aarɨ arabharwazɨra abhaatʉ ɨngʼana ya Mungu.they gathered in such large numbers that there was no more room, not even outside the door, as Jesus spoke the word to them.

3Hanʉ aarɨ ararwaza, bhakaaza abhaatʉ bhane, bhagɨgirɨ ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ akuurɨ ibhiimʉ kʉkɨragʉ.Then a paralytic was brought to Him, carried by four men.

4Bhakatamwa kumusikirya hanʉ Yɨɨsu aarɨ, kʉ kʉbha ya riribhita ikʉrʉ. Bhakatiira kwirengo ryi inyumba, bhakahobhora rirengo igʉrʉ wa hanʉ Yɨɨsu aarɨ, bhakiicha ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ akuurɨ ibhiimʉ arɨ kʉkɨragʉ.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.

5Hanʉ Yɨɨsu aarʉʉzɨ ubhwisirirya bhwabhʉ, akabhʉʉrɨra ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ akuurɨ ibhiimʉ, “Mwana waanɨ, ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwazʉ bhʉbhɨɨrɨɨrwɨ.”When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

6Nawe, bhakiikara hayo abhiija obhorebhe bhi imigirʉ ja Musa. Bhaarɨ bhariiseega mumyʉyʉ jabhʉ,But some of the scribes were sitting there and thinking in their hearts,

7“Ndora ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ aragambabhu? Ararega Mungu! Atareeho ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ akʉtʉra kobheerera ʉbhʉbhɨ, nawe Mungu umwene!”“Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

8Rogendo rʉmwɨ Yɨɨsu akamenya amiisɨɨgi gaabhʉ, akabhabhʉʉrɨra, “Kwakɨ muriiseegabhu mumyʉyʉ janyu?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.

9Awɨɨ, ni‑ryahe rinyʉʉhu, kʉbhʉʉrɨra ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ akuurɨ ibhiimʉ, ‘Ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwazʉ bhʉbhɨɨrɨɨrwɨ,’ kisha kʉmʉbhʉʉrɨra, ‘Imɨɨrɨra, ogege ɨkɨragʉ chazʉ ujɨ’?“Which is easier: to say to a paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?

10Nangʉ nereenda momenye kʉbha, Umwana wʉ Ʉmʉʉtʉ ahɨɨrwɨ ʉbhʉnaja bhwo okobheerera abhaatʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ kʉʉsɨ.” Neho Yɨɨsu akabhʉʉrɨra ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ akuurɨ ibhiimʉ,But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic,

11“Nɨrakʉbhʉʉrɨra, imɨɨrɨra! Gega ɨkɨragʉ chazʉ, ujɨ yɨɨka.”“I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

12Hayohayo, bhʉʉsi bhakarora ʉmʉʉtʉ wuyo akiimɨɨrɨra, akiitwɨka ɨkɨragʉ chazɨ, akahʉrʉka igʉtʉ. Abhaatʉ bhayo bhakarʉgʉʉra na kʉgʉnga Mungu, bhakabhuga, “Tʉkɨɨrɨ korora kɨsɨgʉ ncha kɨnʉ kɨkʉrirwɨ reero!”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!”

13Yɨɨsu akaja naatu rusizʉ wɨ ɨnyanza ya Gariraaya. Abhaatʉ bhaaru bhakamutuna, akabhiija.Once again Jesus went out beside the sea. All the people came to Him, and He taught them there.

14Akʉmara akabhʉʉka, hanʉ aarɨ araja, akarora Raawi umwana wa Arifaayʉ. Aarɨ ikɨɨrɨ mwibhuru ryazɨ ryʉ ʉkʉtɨnɨra rigʉʉti. Yɨɨsu akamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Ntuna.” Raawi akabhʉʉka, akamutuna.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.

15Yɨɨsu akaja kurya ibhyakurya munyumba ya Raawi hamwɨmwɨ na abhɨɨga bhaazɨ. Abharihya bha rigʉʉti na abhandɨ bhʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ bhaarɨ bhararya ibhyakurya hamwɨmwɨ nabhʉ, kʉ kʉbha bhaaru bhe eteemwa yɨnʉ bhaarɨ bharamutuna.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.

16Mmbe abhiija bhi imigirʉ bhanʉ bhaarɨ Abhafarisaayo, hanʉ bhaarʉʉzɨ Yɨɨsu ararya hamwɨmwɨ na abharihya bha rigʉʉti na abhakʉri bhʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ, bhakabhuurya abhɨɨga bhaazɨ, “Ndora ararya hamwɨmwɨ na abharihya bha rigʉʉti na abhakʉri bhʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ?”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?”

17Hanʉ Yɨɨsu iigwirɨbhu, akabhabhʉʉrɨra, “Abhaatʉ abhahʉru bhatakwenda ʉmʉgabhʉ, nawe abharwɨrɨ nebho bhakumwenda! Inyɨ nitiizirɨ kʉbhɨrɨkɨra bhe eheene, nawe bhʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ.”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.”

18Ibhaga irebhe, abhɨɨga bha Yoohana Ʉmʉbhatiizi hamwɨmwɨ na Abhafarisaayo, bhaarɨ bhariiyima kurya. Rusikʉ rʉmwɨ abhaatʉ obhorebhe bhakaja kwa Yɨɨsu, bhakabhuurya, “Ndora abhɨɨga bha Yoohana na abhɨɨga bha Abhafarisaayo bhatakurya, nawe abhɨɨga bhaazʉ bhatakwiyima kurya?”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?”

19Yɨɨsu akagarukirya, “Abhahɨrɨɨkɨrɨri bhu umukwɨri bhariiyimabhwɨ kurya, bharɨ hamwɨmwɨ nu umukwɨri? Ribhaga ryʉsi bharɨ hamwɨmwɨ, bhatakʉtʉra kwiyima kurya!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.

20Nawe urusikʉ rʉraaza umukwɨri araruusibhwa gatɨ wa abhagini bhaazɨ. Hayo neho, bhariiyimɨ kurya.But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

21“Ʉkʉsanja amiija gaanɨ amahya na zisimʉka zaanyu kʉratuubhana nʉ ʉkʉtʉʉra ɨkɨraka che engebho iihya kongebho ikungu. Ɨkɨraka kirya kɨranyarya engebho yiyo na kwongera hanʉ hanyarirɨ.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.

22Ekerenjo ɨkɨndɨ ni‑ncha abhaatʉ kutiga kʉtʉʉra idivaayi yɨnʉ ɨtatunduurirɨ mʉbhɨgʉzi bhya amaseero amakungu. Hanʉ ɨkʉtʉndʉʉra na kutiira, ɨkɨgʉzi kɨratamwa kubhimba, akʉmara kɨrabhaarʉka idivaayi iriitɨka. Idivaayi yɨnʉ ɨtatunduurirɨ ereenderwa kutuurwa mʉkɨgʉzi ikihya.”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.”

23Rusikʉ rʉmwɨ rwʉ ʉbhʉtʉʉrʉ, Yɨɨsu na abhɨɨga bhaazɨ bhaarɨ bharahɨta kʉnzɨra yɨnʉ yaarɨ mʉmɨgʉndʉ jɨ ɨnganʉ. Abhɨɨga bhaazɨ bhakatanga kʉtɨna ɨbhɨgara bhyɨ ɨnganʉ na kurya.One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain as they walked along.

24Neho Abhafarisaayo bhakabhʉʉrɨra Yɨɨsu, “Rora, abhɨɨga bhaazʉ bharahocha emeremo gɨnʉ gɨtakwenderwa kokorwa urusikʉ rwʉ ʉbhʉtʉʉrʉ!”So the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

25Yɨɨsu akabhagarukirya, “Mʉtasʉmirɨ mʉMaandɨkʉ Amarɨndu chɨmbu Daudi aakʉrirɨ hanʉ ɨnzara yamuriirɨ na abhakɨndichazɨ?Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?

26Akasikɨra mwibhuru rirɨndu rya Mungu, ribhaga rɨnʉ Abhiyatari aarɨ kuhaani ʉmʉkʉrʉ wa Mungu, akarya ɨmɨkaatɨ gɨnʉ jatɨɨrwɨ mʉbhʉtangɨ bhwa Mungu. Ɨmɨkaatɨ gɨnʉ kumigirʉ ja Musa gɨtakwenderwa kuriibhwa na abhaatʉ, kuruushaku bhakuhaani abheene. Nawe Daudi akarya, na akabhaha na abhakɨndichazɨ, bhʉʉsi bhakarya.”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.”

27Neho Yɨɨsu akabhabhʉʉrɨra, “Urusikʉ rwʉ ʉbhʉtʉʉrʉ rwatɨɨrwɨ igʉrʉ wa abhaatʉ, ɨtarɨ abhaatʉ igʉrʉ wʉ ʉbhʉtʉʉrʉ.Then Jesus declared, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

28Na momenye kʉbha, Umwana wʉ Ʉmʉʉtʉ nɨ‑Mʉkʉrʉ nʉʉrʉ urusikʉ rwʉ ʉbhʉtʉʉrʉ.”Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
