Mark 2 (ZIN) · Opened

1Obuchilo ebilo bíche byaáhiíngwiile, Yeézu yaázeenda káandi omuli Kaperinaumu, abaantu baáhuliza nka nikwo ali omúka.A few days later Jesus went back to Capernaum. And when the people heard that He was home,

2Abaantu béenzi baákoba omu nzu ezo, kuhicha kubulwa aho kulabila aha chisasi. Yeézu akaba naayolekeelela abaantu echigaambo cha Múungu.they gathered in such large numbers that there was no more room, not even outside the door, as Jesus spoke the word to them.

3Obuchilo akaba naayolekeelela, beeza abaantu bana, bamumwiimukize aha chitwaálilizi omuuntu óogwo akaba ali enséege.Then a paralytic was brought to Him, carried by four men.

4Baásiingwa kumutaashamo omwo áaho akaba aáli Yeézu, habwe embága mpáango. Baáhanama olwéego kuza aha luswi lwe éenzu, baáfumula oluswi aha lugulu áaho Yeézu akaba ali, baátúucha echitwaálilizi aho óogwo ayaabeele ali enséege akaba alyaamile.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.

5Obuchilo Yeézu káyaabwéene echikolwa cha abaantu abo, yaámanya nka nikwo bakaba beena okwiikiliza. Yaámugaambila owe enséege aáti, “Íiwe mwáana waanze, waáganyiilwe ebiheno byaawe.”When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

6Abeégesa abáandi be ebilagilo bakaba beékeele aho. Boónyini bakaba nibateekuza omu miganya yáabo nka nikwo,But some of the scribes were sitting there and thinking in their hearts,

7“Ha bwaáchi omuuntu ogu naagaámba aátyo? Naamulogota Múungu! Táliho omuuntu óogwo yaakuhicha kuganyila ebiheno, náho Múungu weénka!”“Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

8Ahonyini Yeézu yaámanya ebiteékuzo byáabo omu muganya gwoómwe, yaábagaambila aáti, “Ha bwaáchi nimuteekuza mútyo omu miganya yáanyu?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.

9Ngási, ni chiíha echilikuhuhuuka bwooli, kumugaambila omuuntu óogwo ali enséege nka nikwo, ‘Waáganyiilwe ebiheno byaawe,’ nali, ‘Yemeelela, twaála echitwaálilizi chaawe, olibate’?“Which is easier: to say to a paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?

10Aha nsoonga nu, mbooleke nka nikwo íinye Mutábani wo Omuuntu nheelwe obuzizi bwo kubaganyila abaantu ebiheno omu nsi.” Niho Yeézu yaámugaambila omuuntu óogwo akaba ali enséege aáti,But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic,

11“Niinkugaambila nka nikwo, yemeelela, twaála echitwaálilizi chaawe, ozeénde omúka!”“I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

12Ahonyini omuuntu ogwo yaáyemeelela, yeemucha echitwaálilizi choómwe, yaásohola ahéelu. Abaantu abo bóona baásobelwa, baámukuza Múungu, baágaamba báti, “Tuchaáliga kubona ihano nke eli elyaakolwa leélo!”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!”

13Yeézu yaalugáho, yaázeenda káandi aha ngeégeelo ye enyaanza ya Galiláaya. Abaantu béenzi baámukulaatíla, yaábeegesa.Once again Jesus went out beside the sea. All the people came to Him, and He taught them there.

14Obuchilo Yeézu akaba naazeénda, omu muháanda yaábona Láawi omwaana wa Alfayo, ayikéele omu kazu koómwe kokutobesezamo oluhaambwe. Yeézu yaámugaambila aáti, “Onkuláatile.” Láawi yaáyemeelela, yaábaanza kumukulaatila.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.

15Yeézu na abaheémba boómwe baázeenda kulya ebyookulya ha luhelo omu nzu ya Láawi. Abahaámbya na abáandi béenzi áabo baámanyikile kuba abaheni bakaba nibalya ebyookulya hamo nábo, habwo kuba béenzi be entúungwa ezi bakaba nibamukulaatíla.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.

16Mbwéenu abeégesa be ebilagilo abaabeele bali Abafarisayo, obuchilo kábamubwéene Yeézu naálya na abahaámbya hamo na abaheni abáandi, baábabúuza abaheémba boómwe báti, “Ha bwaáchi naálya hamo na abahaámbya na abaheni abáandi?”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?”

17Obuchilo Yeézu yaáhuliile amagaambo gáabo, yaábagaambila, “Abaantu abeene enziingo nzima, tibakugaswa omulaguzi, náho abalwéele nibo abalikugaswa! Íinye tiíndeezile kwéeta abaantu abagololoke, náho abaheni.”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.”

18Obuchilo bunaanka, abaheémba ba Yohana Omubatiza hamo na Abafarisayo bakaba bali omu chisiibo. Niho abaantu bunaanka baázeenda hali Yeézu, baámubúuza báti, “Ha bwaáchi abaheémba ba Yohana na abaheémba ba Abafarisayo baza omu chisiibo, náho abaheémba baawe tibaza omu chisiibo?”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?”

19Yeézu yaábagalulila aáti, “Ngási, abasagazi ba chisweéla nibaza omu chisiibo, bali hamo na chisweéla omu bweenga? Obuchilo bwóona óobwo bali hamo na chisweéla, tibakuhicha kuza omu chisiibo!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.

20Náho ebilo biliyo nibiíza niho balaáyakwa chisweéla. Obuchilo obwo, niho baliba ne echisiibo.But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

21“Taliho omuuntu abaziilila echibatulo chisha aha mwéenda ogukokweele. Kaálaabazilila, echibatulo chisha nichiteémula omwéenda ogukokweele no kwoongela kubatuka bwooli.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.

22Káandi taliho omuuntu óogwo alikuchenena evíini eénsha omu nfulebe ze eémpu enkokolo. Obuchilo evíini neetuúmba neeziteémula enfulebe éezo ne evíini neeséeseka ne enfulebe nizisiisikala. Evíini eénsha neeyeendelwa kutéebwa omu nfulebe ze eémpu eénsha.”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.”

23Echilo chimo che Endaálikizo, Yeézu akaba naalaba omu masaambo ge engano, hamo na abaheémba boómwe, mala abaheémba boómwe baábaanza kuhulula amakuumba, baálya.One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain as they walked along.

24Niho Abafarisayo baámugaambila Yeézu báti, “Léeba, abaheémba baawe nibakola agali omuzilo aha chilo che Endaálikizo!”So the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

25Yeézu yaábagalulila aáti, “Ngási, timukasomaga Amaandiko Matakatíifu nka nikwo Daudi yaákozile obuchilo yaabulabuliilwe, weényini na bazeenzíbe obu baabeele beene enzala?Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?

26Akataaha omu nzu ya Múungu, obuchilo Abiatari akaba ali omugabe mukúlu wa Múungu, yaálya emikaate yaámo éezo ekaba yaásohweezwe hali Múungu. Telakuundiilwe omu bilagilo bya Musa omuuntu kulya emikaate éezo náho abagabe ba Múungu boónka, náho Daudi akazilya, mala yaaha na bazeenzíbe áabo akaba ali hamo nábo, baba baálya ezo mikaate yaámo.”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.”

27Niho Yeézu yaábagaambila aáti, “Abaantu tibalahaangilwe nka nikwo, babigomookele ebilagilo bye Endaálikizo, náho echilo che Endaálikizo chikateebwáho na Múungu nka nikwo, chibahwéele abaantu.Then Jesus declared, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

28Aha nsoonga ezi, íinye Mutábani wo Omuuntu níinye Omukáma we Endaálikizo.”Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
