Mark 2 (LAG) · Opened

1Sikʉ ˆjikaseese, akahɨndʉka na Kaperenáumu, vaantʉ vakateera ahíndukire na kaayii.A few days later Jesus went back to Capernaum. And when the people heard that He was home,

2Mpuka nkʉʉlʉ ikiijiinga, ɨkasoveka baa nkalo mʉryaangwii. Ne akava yoovavariyʉrɨra Masáare ˆYarɨ Mpeho.they gathered in such large numbers that there was no more room, not even outside the door, as Jesus spoke the word to them.

3Mʉʉntʉ ʉmwɨ ˆaakwya iyandiyandi, akareetwa kʉrɨ Yéesu iínwɨɨrwe nɨ vaantʉ vanɨ.Then a paralytic was brought to Him, carried by four men.

4Sa ɨra mpuka nkʉʉlʉ, vara vaantʉ vakasiindwa kʉmʉlookya ʉra mʉlwɨ́ɨrɨ fʉʉrʉ kʉrɨ Yéesu. ˆVakoone jeyyo, vakaambʉka nɨ ikekeerii, vakabontola ikekeera hara kʉʉntʉ Yéesu ˆajáa, vakamukiimirya ʉra mʉlwɨ́ɨrɨ na ndɨrɨ yaachwe.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.

5Yéesu ˆakoone kuruma kwaavo, akamʉsea ʉra mʉlwɨ́ɨrɨ, “Mwaana waanɨ, ʉvɨ waako wasírire.”When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

6Aho nyuumbii, kwajáa kwatɨɨte vakiindya vamwɨ va Miiro vajáa viíkyɨɨre, vakaanda kiiririkana mitimii yaavo voosea,But some of the scribes were sitting there and thinking in their hearts,

7“Joolɨ arɨ lʉʉsa jei? Yoomʉhɨɨntɨkɨra Mʉlʉʉngʉ! Sɨ Mʉlʉʉngʉ yeemweene noo ˆadáhaa sea ʉvɨ wasírire tʉkʉ wʉʉ?”“Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

8Hahara, Yéesu akataanga miiririkano yaavo, maa akavasea, “Nɨ sa che mookiiririkana ayo mitimii yaanyu?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.

9Nɨ kɨrɨkwɨ noo chaangʉ kʉlookya myeewe, kʉmʉsea ʉhʉ mʉlwɨ́ɨrɨ, ‘Ʉvɨ waako wasírire,’ bakʉ kʉmʉsea, ‘Inʉka, ʉtoole ndɨrɨ yaako ʉlooke’?“Which is easier: to say to a paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?

10Haaha noosaaka mʉtaange, Mwaana wa Mʉʉntʉ atɨɨte wiimiriri wo sea vaantʉ, ‘Ʉvɨ waavo wasírire,’ aha weerwii.” Aho, akamʉsea ʉra mʉʉntʉ ˆaakwya iyandiyandi,But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic,

11“Nookʉsea, inʉka, toola ndɨrɨ yaako, ʉdome na kaayii kwaako.”“I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

12Hahara, maa akatoola ndɨrɨ yaachwe akafuma na weerwii, baa vara vaantʉ voosi ntɨ ˆvoomʉlaanga. Maa vakatʉlʉvala, vakamʉdʉʉmba Mʉlʉʉngʉ voosea, “Isáare ja ɨrɨ, sɨ tʉnoona vii kaa tʉkʉ!”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!”

13Hara, maa Yéesu akadoma kei na mbarɨmbarɨ ya iriva ra Galiláaya. Mpuka nkʉʉlʉ ya vaantʉ ɨkamutuuba, maa akaanda kʉvavariyʉrɨra Masáare ˆYarɨ Mpeho.Once again Jesus went out beside the sea. All the people came to Him, and He taught them there.

14Mpɨɨndɨ Yéesu ˆawololáa mawʉlʉ, akamoona Láawi mwaana wa Alʉfáayo iíkyɨɨre kɨvaandii cho rɨhɨra kóodi, yoosaankanʼya kóodi. Akamʉsea, “Ntuuba!” Ne Láawi akiinʉka, akamutuuba Yéesu.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.

15Mpɨɨndɨ Yéesu na vapooji vaachwe ˆvarijáa chákurya kaayii kwa Láawi, vasaankanʼyi kóodi na vaduwalo ˆvarɨ foo varijáa novo. Sa vaantʉ ˆvarɨ foo, vamutuubáa.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.

16Vakiindya vamwɨ va Miiro ya Mʉlʉʉngʉ na Mafarisáayo vajáa vamwaarɨ. ˆVakamoone Yéesu yoorya hamwɨ na vaduwalo na vasaankanʼyi kóodi, vakavasea vapooji vaachwe, “Sa che yoorya chákurya hamwɨ na maduwalo na masaankanʼyi kóodi?”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?”

17Yéesu ˆakayateere ayo masáare, maa akavasea, “Vaantʉ ˆvarɨ nkaasʉ sɨ vasáakaa mwaanga tʉkʉ, maa kaa, valwɨ́ɨrɨ noo vasáakaa mwaanga. Sɨ nʉʉja joo kaanɨrɨra vaantʉ ˆviiyónaa vawoloki tʉkʉ, nʉʉja joo kaanɨrɨra vavɨ.”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.”

18Haaha, vapooji va Yooháani na va Mafarisáayo viirekyáa kurya. Maa vaantʉ vakʉʉja joo muurya Yéesu vakamʉsea, “Amwɨ vapooji va Yooháani na va Mafarisáayo viirékyaa kurya. Sa che vapooji vaako sɨ viirékyaa 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?”

19Yéesu akavasea, “De vyadáhɨkaa vaantʉ ˆvaláarikirwe nɨ mweenengovi, na mweenengovi ntɨ ˆarɨ novo kwiirekya kurya wʉʉ? Sɨ varɨ kwiirekya kurya tʉkʉ, mpɨɨndɨ joosi varɨ na mweenengovi.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.

20Maa kaa, luu fika jiri mpɨɨndɨ mweenengovi ˆakasʉmwɨɨrwe fuma kwaavo, aho noo luu vakiirekiirye kurya.But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

21Kusiina mʉʉntʉ ˆadáhɨraa kɨráka kifya isaámwii tʉkʉ. Koonɨ abwéeyyiirye jeyyo, ɨkyo kɨráka moola kɨrɨ ɨro isaámʉ na ɨyo ɨngo kwaatʉka ɨrɨ kʉlookya lo ncholo.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.

22Baa kei, kusiina mʉʉntʉ ˆavɨ́kɨraa diváai ifya viríibii vya kalɨ tʉkʉ. Koonɨ abwéeyyiirye jeyyo, ɨyo diváai ifya, pʉsʉla ɨrɨ ivyo viríiba, na diváai kɨɨtɨka ɨrɨ na mweenediváai sova arɨ diváai na viríiba. Diváai ifya nɨ viríibii vifya ɨvɨ́kɨrwaa.”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.”

23Sikʉ ya Sabáato ɨmwɨ, Yéesu na vapooji vaachwe vajáa vakwaatɨra na mawundii ya ngáano. Mpɨɨndɨ ˆvalookáa na hara mawundii, vapooji vakaanda hʉʉnga maangala ya ngáano.One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain as they walked along.

24Mafarisáayo vakamʉsea Yéesu, “Laanga, sa che vapooji vaako voowuna Miiro ya sikʉ ya Sabáato?”So the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

25Maa akavasea, “Sɨ mʉnasoma vii tʉkʉ ˆcheene atʉmama mʉtemi Daúdi mpɨɨndɨ ˆajáa aávirwe nɨ njala na vaantʉ vaachwe wʉʉ?Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?

26Aho kalɨ, mpɨɨndɨ ja Abiasáari, mweeneɨsɨ mʉkʉʉlʉ, Daúdi ɨɨngɨra na nyuumbii ya Mʉlʉʉngʉ, akarya mɨkáate ˆɨvɨ́ɨkwaa mbere ya Mʉlʉʉngʉ, akavaheera baa na viivaachwe. Mɨkáate ɨyo, veeneɨsɨ va Ijʉva vii noo vajáa varekerwa vɨndoorya. Vaantʉ vɨɨngɨ Miiro ɨjáa yakaanʼya kurya.”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.”

27Baa kei akavasea, “Sabáato yavɨɨkwa sa vaantʉ na sɨ vaantʉ sa Sabáato tʉkʉ.Then Jesus declared, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

28Sa jeyyo, Mwaana wa Mʉʉntʉ nɨ Mweeneevyo baa wa Sabáato.”Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
