Mark 2 (UTR) · Opened

1Ngwi egbe wa sisi gwee nɛ, iYesu si yidɔ lu iKapenahun, inggisɛ ntona si fwo gbɛɛ o yɛ kaka udɛ.A few days later Jesus went back to Capernaum. And when the people heard that He was home,

2Ta inggisɛ kwuba kwakye mbonyi, nghanɛ imbe dzɛma wuba, onufɛ mi esɛ kpaa imbe dzɛ ba. IYesu sile gbeesɔ nya ma.they gathered in such large numbers that there was no more room, not even outside the door, as Jesus spoke the word to them.

3Ta inggisɛ angbeka nghi enɛ wa to, kye inggisɛ ngbikye tukwu esɛ le ba mbi iYesu.Then a paralytic was brought to Him, carried by four men.

4Dafi a yagba kyon kaka mbi iYesu ba ikye ibyi inggisɛ nɛ, a ka flɛ ikpendu mi ikye mgbi iYesu yɛyɛ man kyon tashulu yi amukwu wa lakiyayi iYesu.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.

5Ngwi iYesu di oyɛyɛ onuunu mgbi ama nɛ, o nya inggisɛ ngbikye tukwu esɛ na gbɛɛ, <<Ongwɛ, a dzita abu yi ali ibwubwe mgbi abu.>>When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

6Etsetse mgbi ola mgbi iMose angbeka sɔto mmanani, a le tsɛwɛ mi itukwu mgbi ama gbɛɛ,But some of the scribes were sitting there and thinking in their hearts,

7<<Kyɔsinɛse inggisɛ nɛ gbɔdzɛ ngha? O le kwu Imgbasho shanyɛ! Li emɛ ka dzɛ inggisɛ ta yi obube se Imgbasho yuon ta baa?>>“Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

8Plɛ nɛta, iYesu ka ye mi onodzi mgban gbɛɛ li ungwɔ ngwi a le tsɛwɛ mi itukwu mgbi ama joaali, man o nya ma gbɛɛ, <<I kyɔsinɛ ngwi ema le tsɛwɛ itɔ ungwɔ ntonɛ?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.

9Li ole nghao sunɔ ba: onya inggisɛ ngbikye tukwu esɛ na gbɛɛ, <A dzɛ abu ta yi ali ibwubwe,> naadi o gbɛɛ, <Kyato, kyelu obutu mgbi abu kyikyɛ>?“Which is easier: to say to a paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?

10Nghaduu li onu ema ye gbɛɛ Ongwɛ Inggisɛ dzɛ yi mfye mi ɛsɛ nɛ odzɛ inggisɛ ta yi ali ibwubwe…>> O nya inggisɛ ogbikye tukwu esɛ na gbɛɛ,But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic,

11<<N nya abu, kyato, kyelu obutu mgbi abu lu udɛ.>>“I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

12O kyato, kyelu obutu mgban si kyikyɛ mi inai ma duu. Ungwɔnɛ kwulu ali inggisɛ duu ewo man a si tsɛ Imgbasho, le gbɛɛ, <<Eyi yama di itɔ ungwɔnɛ ye ba!>>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!”

13Nɛ iYesu di yidɔ kɛ ondu utɔ mgbi iGalalia. Ibyi inggisɛ ba mbon, ta o si wita otso ma.Once again Jesus went out beside the sea. All the people came to Him, and He taught them there.

14Dafi o kyikyɛ le kɛ nɛ, o di inggisɛ ogbɛ udza ifyɛɛ, iLevi ongwɛ Alfeɔ sɔdzɛ opo ogbɛ udza ifyɛɛ. Man iYesu nyan gbɛɛ, <<Kyɛdɔ ani,>> ta iLevi kyato kyɛdɔn.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.

15Dafi iYesu le gye ungwogye ongwi onɔdɛ mi udɛ iLevi nɛ, ama ogbɛ udza ifyɛɛ kwuba yi <<emi ali ibwubwe angbeka>> tole gye ungwogye biyan bɛyi engwafɔɔn, lubana inggisɛ kwuba kyɛdɔn.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.

16Ngwi etsetse mgbi ola mgbi iMose ama nli emi iFarasi din le gye ungwogye yi <<emi ali ibwubwe>> yi ama ogbɛ udza ifyɛɛ nɛ, a byi engwafɔɔn gbɛɛ: <<Kyɔsinɛ ngwi ongyukwo mgbi ema le gye ungwogye yi ama ogbɛ udza ifyɛɛ yi <emi ali ibwubwe>? >>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?”

17Ngwi IYesu fwo ungwɔnɛ nɛ, o nya ma gbɛɛ, <<Li ama nle saan ma li mina inggisɛ obwe ootse ba, kpaa li emi ootse. Ani ba owa kwu ama nle saan ela ba, kpaa li emi ali ibwubwe.>>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.”

18Onɔ oka nɛ ama okyɛ yi iJɔn okyɔ iBatisima bɛyi emi iFarasi tole tukwondu. Inggisɛ angbeka si ba wa byi iYesu gbɛɛ, <<Kyɔsinɛse ngwi engwafɔ mgbi iJɔn okyɔ iBatisima bɛyi engwafɔ mgbi emi iFarasi tole tukwondu, kpaa engwafɔ mgbi abu le tukwondu ba?>>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?”

19IYesu nya ma gbɛɛ, <<Ingyoga emi oga mgbi eba ka tukwondu onɔ ngwi obongyaa dzɛ yi ama maa? Ungwɔ ka dzɛ ngha ba du. Ngwi a ka dzɛ yi obongyaa tayɔ, a ka yama tukwondu ba.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.

20Nghaduu onɔ kyɛma ngwi a ka kyi kyelu obongyaa mi idzidzɛ ma ta a ka tukwondu.But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

21<<Inggisɛ onyi li kye ayɛ angwuto ofufɛ kye tukwu ogbugbe ba. Ki non kyɔ ngha, ayɛ ofufɛ na ka kyi kwolu di fawa angwuto ogbugbe nani, dika nu ifo na yɛɛ vɔn.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.

22Inggisɛ onyi dika kye eneekwɔ ofufɛ yaokɛ ikpɔkpɔ eneekwɔ ogbugbe ba, ikyekyɛ eneekwɔ na ka nu ikpɔkpɔ gbobu, man eneekwɔ bɛyi ikpɔkpɔ duu ka nyanya. Kyɛmɛ yɔ a ka kye eneekwɔ ofufɛ yaokɛ ikpɔkpɔ ofufɛ.>>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.”

23Egbe otonyidɔ mgbi emi iJuda oka nɛ, iYesu le kyikyɛ nyɛ okwɔ ungwogyowe, dafi engwafɔɔn wafɔ yan le kɛ nɛ, a wita ole ngwunu ungwogyowe.One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain as they walked along.

24Emi iFarasi gbɔ yan gbɛɛ, <<Dika, kyɔsinɛ ngwi a le kyungwɔ nli ola ba mi egbe otonyewo ngha?>>So the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

25IYesu si nya ma gbɛɛ, <<Ema gbɔ ungwɔ ngwi iDevedi yi emi ibugen nose kyɔ mi onɔ ngwi enbwa dɔ ma ngwi a di dzɛ mi imina na baa?Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?

26Mi onɔ ngwi Abiata nose li okwukwo inggisɛ ofifɛ mgbi Imgbasho mani, iDevedi kaka ozu mgbi Imgbasho ka gye ibredi ngwi a kye mse bɛ ele kye dzɛkɛ kyoon, ngwi ola gbɛɛ li ama ofifɛ mgbi Imgbasho ta ka gye mani. O di kye nu emi ibugen kpaa.>>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.”

27Nɛ iYesu nya ma gbɛɛ, <<A ta egbe otonyewo mi ikye inggisɛ, li inggisɛ ngwi a ta mi ikye egbe otonyewo ba.Then Jesus declared, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

28Nghanɛ Ongwɛ Inggisɛ li Otsɛ mgbi egbe otonyewo kpaa.>>Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
