1Jiso ka wu gɛɛŋ wu lee yeh yi buunɛ le. Muh mu nyu yu a kibo ke kwe wa.Once again Jesus entered the synagogue, and a man with a withered hand was there.

2Bamii bamu ba gɛ̀ bee yu bo goone fiɛɛ fì bo kooyi yi Jiso le, bo mo bo noŋ ajii ye ye le bo tu bo jiiŋe laa wu lé wu fɛ̂ muh juu chi yuuŋ la.In order to accuse Jesus, they were watching to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

3Jiso jɛmɛ muh wu kibo ke gɛ̀ kwe wɛɛ le lɛ, “Jâ we wo tô fɛnɛ.”Then Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, “Stand up among us.”

4No wu to, Jiso biih bamii le lɛ, “Fiɛɛ fì nchi le wu bɛɛŋ lɛ muh ge juu chi yuuŋ le fì la? Ki ba ge fiɛɛ fì joŋe, noo fì befe le? Ki ba fi muh noo, ki ba yuuyɛ lo le?” Bo chii.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.

5Jiso bijɛ bo bachii wu kɛnɛ bɛ shɛ́ŋ yì toonyɛ, shɛ́ŋ kwe wu, nje muntele muboo mù yiide. Wu jɛmɛ muh wù kibo ke gɛ̀ kwe wɛɛ le lɛ, “Nɛ̂jɛ kibo kuŋ.” Wu nɛjɛ, ki mo ki tɛ̂mɛ.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.

6Bafalashii mo bo bu, bo gɛɛŋ bɛ ŋgoo yi bamii ba Nfoŋ Hɛlod bo mo bo chu ntaŋ kimimia no bo lé bo gê fɛ bo yuuyɛ Jiso.At this, the Pharisees went out and began plotting with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.

7Jiso bɛ booŋ be ba ŋgoo mo bo ja yo bo gɛɛŋ fɛ Mamasi wù Galalee le. Kinchvu ki bamii kì baaŋ bi wu le. Bamii bamu gɛ̀ ja kimbe kì Galalee bɛ kì Judia le.So Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea, accompanied by a large crowd from Galilee, Judea,

8Bamu ja Yɛlusalɛm, bamu kimbe kì Idumia le, bamu a Joo yì Jodaŋ le wuŋ kwege, bamu bimbe bi Taya bɛ Sidoŋ le. Kinchvu kiyu gɛ̀ too noo nje bo gɛ̀ yuge mwɛɛ mu wu gɛ̀ gee munchii.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.

9Jiso ja wu jɛmɛ booŋ be ba ŋgoo le lɛ bo gooŋ ŋguh bo seesɛ bo gɛɛ wu lee yo, keefɛ kinchvu kiyu ja ki faase wu gɛ.Jesus asked His disciples to have a boat ready for Him so that the crowd would not crush Him.

10Wu gɛ̀ jɛme noo nje wu gɛ̀ fɛ wa bamii ba duude, bamii ba binchɛŋ wesee too bo kune wu le.For He had healed so many that all who had diseases were pressing forward to touch Him.

11Sege bamii ba biyo bì yiide gɛ̀ njiiŋse bɛ bo gɛ̀ yɛŋ Jiso le bo mo bo gweeyi a wù fwe bo wanɛ bo duu lɛ, “Wo le Mwa Nyo.”And when the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!”

12No bo gɛ̀ wanɛ noo, Jiso du lo bo le lɛ keefɛ bo gê bamii kɛ̂ɛ wu gɛ.But He warned them sternly not to make Him known.

13Wu ja wu bɛɛŋ wu gɛɛŋ yi mbegɛ le, wu tɛɛŋ bamii ba wu gɛ̀ goone bo to fɛ wu le.Then Jesus went up on the mountain and called for those He wanted, and they came to Him.

14Wu baa bamii yuufe ncho bafɛɛ, wu tɛɛŋ bo lɛ booŋ be ba ntuŋ, lɛ bɛ bo nyume, wu tune bo, bo jiɛnyi bo feeji jɛ yi Nyo,He appointed twelve of them, whom He designated as apostles, to accompany Him, to be sent out to preach,

16Bamii bayu gɛ̀ bee: Samoŋ, wu wù gɛ̀ nya jee che chimi lɛ Bita.These are the twelve He appointed: Simon (whom He named Peter),

17Jɛm bɛ mwa bwee wù Joŋ ba gɛ̀ bee booŋ ba Jɛbɛdi, ba wu gɛ̀ nya bo jee lɛ, “Boanɛgɛ” chì le lɛ, “Booŋ ba jaŋ yi mgbame.”James son of Zebedee and his brother John (whom He named Boanerges, meaning “Sons of Thunder”),

18Bamu nyu Andulu, Filib, Batolomiu, Macho Toma, Jɛm wù mwa Alfayu, Tadio, Samoŋ wù gɛ̀ bee muh ŋgoo yi Bajalot,Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot,

20Jiso ja wu gɛɛŋ fɛ wu gɛ̀ chee fo, kinchvu ki bamii ka kitaashɛ fo, bɛ booŋ be ba ŋgoo gɛ baaŋ kɛme gɛ lo je ki bo ji mwɛɛ gɛ.Then Jesus went home, and once again a crowd gathered, so that He and His disciples could not even eat.

21Kfuu che gɛ̀ doo chi yu, bo mo bo gɛɛŋ ki bo jo wu nje bamii gɛ̀ duu lɛ wu ghaane lo.When His family heard about this, they went out to take custody of Him, saying, “He is out of His mind.”

22Bamii ba gɛ̀ duunyi banchi ba Nyo ba gɛ̀ ja Yɛlusalɛm bo boh yo bo tu bo duu lɛ, “Bɛsebu le ye ye le, wu bvuuse banchɛndaa ba debele banɛ, nyu bɛ bvuŋga bvu Nfoŋ wu banchɛndaa bayu.”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.”

23Jiso bɛɛŋ bo, wu biih bo le a ŋgaŋ le lɛ, “Taŋlo Sataŋ ka wu bvuuse kikwɛɛ ke yi muh le nɛɛ?So Jesus called them together and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan?

24Nɛ kituŋ ja ki gade ki juu lɛkilɛki, ki gɛ ka ki lɛɛŋ gɛ.If a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot stand.

25Yeh ja yi gade yi juu lɛyilɛyi, yi gɛ ka yi lɛɛŋ gɛ.If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand.

26Noo, Sataŋ ja wu gade bɛ ŋgoo ye bo juu lɛbolɛbo, wu gɛ ka wu lɛɛŋ gɛ, mo nyu kimɛsɛ ke.And if Satan is divided and rises against himself, he cannot stand; his end has come.

27Bɛŋ kêe lɛ gɛ muh nyu yu wu taŋlo wu lee yeh yi muh wu bvuŋga le, wu kudɛ mwɛɛ mwe yi nchiɛɛŋ le wu legɛ bɛ mu, njɛ wu ya wu kaaŋ muh bvuŋga wuyu fɛ wu kudɛ sɛŋ gɛ.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.

28Nsɛɛŋ bɛŋ le nchiɛɛŋ lɛ Nyo taŋlo wu lɛɛshɛ mwɛɛ mù mbefe mo jɛ́ yì befe yichii yì bamii jɛme.Truly I tell you, the sons of men will be forgiven all sins and blasphemies, as many as they utter.

29Geenɛ, muh wù jɛme jɛ yì befe kune Kiyo ki Yuude, tu gɛ taŋlo Nyo lɛɛshɛ gɛ, nje wu le wu ge kimbefɛ ki kage gɛ.”But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of eternal sin.”

30Jiso gɛ̀ jɛme noo nje bamii bayu gɛ̀ duu lɛ kiyo kì yiide le yi ye ye le.Jesus made this statement because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”

31Bwe Jiso bɛ booŋ ba bwee Jiso mo bo fɛsɛ, bo lɛɛŋ akfuuŋ, bo tuŋ muh lɛ wu tɛɛŋ wu.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came and stood outside. They sent someone in to summon Him,

32Gɛ̀ bee kinchvu ki bamii shii ki tuŋ kigaŋ bo taashɛ. Bo jɛmɛ wu le lɛ, “Bwoo bɛ booŋ ba bwoo goone wo akfuuŋ.”and a crowd was sitting around Him. “Look,” He was told, “Your mother and brothers are outside, asking for You.”

33Jiso biih lɛ, “Bwaaŋ bɛ booŋ ba bwɛɛŋ le baaŋ?”But Jesus replied, “Who are My mother and My brothers?”

34No wu bile noo wu mo wu jiŋɛ bamii ba gɛ̀ shilɛ bo tuŋ kigaŋ baa, wu jɛmɛ lɛ, “Bwaaŋ bɛ booŋ ba bwɛɛŋ le banɛ.Looking at those seated in a circle around Him, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!

35Muh wuchii wù gee fiɛɛ fì Nyo goone, le wu wu le mwa bwɛɛŋ bɛ jɛme yaŋ mo bwɛɛŋ.”For whoever does the will of God is My brother and sister and mother.”
