Mark 6
1 A rju ni ki hi ki gbuma ba ba mriko ma but húa.
Jesus left [Capernaum city and went to his hometown, Nazareth]. His disciples went with him.
2 Da vi a sabat ye wa ahi ka tsuro tre ni tra rji. Gbugbu nai wa ba wowua ba yo mamaki nda tre akpa toh tsuro yi rjime? A bi wrji time ba nno? A bi ngye towa wa ani tie wa ba zan kagrji?
(On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day), [he entered] the Jewish worship house and taught [the people]. Many who were listening to him were astonished. [But some] were saying, “[This man is just an ordinary person like we are! So (we cannot believe that] this man [is able to teach us] about these things and that he has been made very wise {that [God] has made him very wise} and that he is performing such miracles![/how is it that] [RHQ] this man [is able to teach us] about these things and that he has been made very wise {that [God] has made him very wise} and that he is performing such miracles?) [RHQ]
3 Ana vren kafinta muyi na, ivren mariya mu ni vayi ba Yakubu, Yosi, Yahuza u Siman Nan?
([We know that] he is [just an ordinary] carpenter!/Isn’t he [just an ordinary] carpenter [RHQ]?) [We know him and his family! We know] Mary his mother! ([We know] his [younger] brothers James, Joses, Judas and Simon!/Are not his [younger] brothers James, Joses, Judas and Simon?) [RHQ] And (his [younger] sisters also live here in this town!/do not his [younger] sisters also live here in this town?) [RHQ]” So they despised him.
4 U Yesu ka hla bawu din, Anabi bana nyime niwu ni gbu ma mba bi koh Mana.
Jesus [knew that they refused to believe in him]. So he said to them, “[It is certainly true that] people honor [me and other] prophets [in other places, but] not in our hometowns! Even our relatives and the people who live in our own houses do not honor us!”
5 Ana to tie kpie rligrama ni gbuma na, a sáwo ni ndi fyime yi u baka fe si.
[So], although he healed a few sick people there by touching them, he [decided] not to perform many [other] miracles [in Nazareth] because the people there did not believe that he was the Messiah.
6 A yi mamaki ni ka nyime ndi ma ni ndu rji. A ye who hi ni mrli gbu bi wiewiere ni ba nda ka bla tre rji ba wu.
He was amazed that they did not believe [in him]. Mark 6:6b-13 Jesus [and his disciples] went from town to town [in that region] teaching [the people].
7 A yo mrli koh ma wlon don haá ndá tton ba rju ni hiha ndá nno ba gbengble ni tu bi brji meme,
[One day] he summoned the twelve [disciples], and then he [told them that] he was going to send them out two-by-two [to teach people in various towns]. He gave them power [to expel] evil spirits [from people].
8 ndá hle bawu ndu ba na nji kpie u hi ni ziren a na ba nji kpala ni kpo mba na,
He also instructed them to wear sandals and to take along a walking stick when they were traveling. He told them not to take food, nor a bag [in which travelers carry supplies], nor any money for their journey. He also did not allow them to take extra clothing. [He wanted the people who heard their message to give them what they needed].
9 bá son lahgban ndá sur nklon ririyi.
10 A hla bawu ikoh wa bi ti ria bi ka ki ni ki me hi ntton wa bi wlua.
He also instructed them, “After you enter a town, [if someone invites you to stay in his house], go into his house. Eat and sleep in that same home until you leave that town.
11 Igbu wa ba na kpayi ko woyi na, bika kpun me-meh u za mbi hle ni bawu ndu kafa shaida ni tu mba.
Wherever the people do not welcome you and wherever the people do not listen to you, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave [that place]. By doing that, you will warn them [that God will punish them for rejecting your message].”
12 Ba rju hi ndá ka tree ni ndi ba ndu ba tuba.
[So] after the disciples went out [to various towns], they were preaching that people should stop their sinful behavior.
13 Ba zu meme brji rju ni mi ndi gbugbu wu nda nyiu nye ni tu bi lilo u ba kafe si kpa.
They were also expelling many evil spirits [from people], and they were anointing many sick people with [olive] oil and healing them.
14 Ichu fero a wo in I wa ba ki tie'a don inde Yesu a Shan shu u gbua. Ba ri ba tre Yohana u Batisma ta shine ndá ni tie kpie wa yi wa ba zan kagrjiá!
[King] Herod [Antipas] heard about [what] Jesus [was doing], because many people were talking [about it. Some] people were saying [about Jesus], “[He must be] John the Baptizer! He has come back to life! That is why he [has God’s] power to perform these miracles!”
15 Bari ba tre “a hi Iliya Bari me a ndá hi Anebi na Anebi bi Sen'a”
Others were saying [about Jesus], “He is [the former prophet] Elijah, [whom God promised to send back again].” Others were saying [about Jesus], “[No], he is a [different] prophet, like one of the [other] prophets [who lived long ago].”
16 Amma fero ni wo nayi ka tre ndi Yohana wa me chu tu ma ua ta Shime.
Having heard [what the people were saying, King] Herod [Antipas] himself repeatedly said, “The man [performing those miracles] must be John! I [commanded my soldiers to] cut off his head, but he has come back to life again [to get revenge for my killing him]!”
17 Fero ana ton ba ndu ba vu Yohanna tro ni tre Herodiya (I wa vayi ma Filibus) don a grand ni gbengble.
The reason [King Herod concluded that John wanted revenge is as follows: Some time before this], Herod married Herodias, while she was [still] the wife of his [younger] brother, Philip.
18 Yohana ana hla ni Fero a hi yours tsu ndu Vu vayi me kpa wa ma.
John kept telling Herod, “[God’s] law does not permit you to marry the wife of your brother [while he is still alive].” Then, because Herodias [urged him to put John in prison], Herod himself sent [soldiers to John]. They seized John and put him in prison.
19 Wawu Herodiya ka nji fu Yohana ndá wa kon u wuu hama.
But because Herodias wanted to get [further] revenge on John, she wanted [someone] to execute him. But she could not do that because [while John was in prison], Herod kept John safe [from her].
20 Don Fero ata klu Yohana niwa ana ndi u klu rji nda zi Yohana ni tro Amma ndá na tie wu ya na. Wo tre ma ta nno fu kpukpo me Kuma ndá giri ni wu'u.
Herod did this because he respected/feared John, because he knew that he was a righteous and holy man. The king did not know what he should do, but he liked to listen to him.
21 I vi wa a zi gbien ni tu Yohana ye ki tsar-a ni vi u taka ngrji Fero ni wa a yo Indi bi nikon bi ti ndu niwu ni khi kle komanda ba u bi nikon bi Galili rli birli ni wu.
But [Herodias was able to have someone execute John when they honored/celebrated] the day when Herod was born. On that day, he invited the [most important] government officials, the [most important] army leaders, and the most important men in Galilee [district] in order that they might eat [and celebrate with him].
22 Ivren wa u Heridiya a ye nga me nda nglu nzan ni ba wu; wa suron Fero bi ni wu ni mbier bi tsri ba. I chuia ka hla ni vren wa, mye kpie wa u wa ni me u me no wu.
[While they were eating], Herodias’ daughter came into the room and danced, and that pleased [King] Herod and his guests. So the king said to her, “Ask me for whatever you desire and I will give it to you!”
23 A shi rji ni vren wa nda hla, ko a hi ngye u mye me me nnou, ko ani ta me ga mulki mua ti ha
He said to her, “Whatever you ask, I will give it to you! I will give you up to half of what I own and rule, if you ask for it. May God punish me [if I do not do what I have promised]!”
24 me. A tsutsu rju hi ni yi ma nda myen, me myen tiemu ngye ri? A hla wu, Itu Yohana u tie Batisma.
The girl immediately left the room and went to her mother. She [told her what the king had said, and] asked her, “What shall I ask for?” Her mother replied, “[Ask the king to give you] the head of John the Baptizer!”
25 A tsutsu gbla me hi ni chuia nda tre me son ndu ne zizan yi, Itu Yohana u tie Batisma ni mi gbugba.
The girl quickly entered the room again. She went to the king and she requested, “I want you to command someone to [cut off] the head of John the Baptizer [and] give it to me at once on a platter, [so that my mother can know he is dead]!”
26 Ikpie kpa suron chua tie wie me amma ana wa ani kama na ni wa a shirji wua ua u taka vi grji ma.
The king became very distressed [when he heard what she asked for], because he knew John was a very righteous man (OR, because he now knew that he should not have made that promise to her). But he could not refuse [what she requested because] he had promised [that he would give her anything she asked for], and because his guests [had heard him promise that].
27 Ichua to me nda yo soja ma ndu ba ka chutu Yohana. Soja wa a ra gbien chua hi ni itra wa ba tro Yohanna nda chu tu ma.
So the king at once ordered the man who executes prisoners to go and [cut off] John’s head and bring it [to the girl]. That man went to the prison and cut off John’s head.
28 A nji tu Yohanaye ni mi gbugba kukron nda ka nno vren wā-a u vren wā-a ka nji ka nno yima.
He [put it on] a platter, brought it back, and gave it to the girl. The girl took it to her mother.
29 Mru ko ma ha wo nda hi ka ban jiji kpa ma ka rju ni be.
After John’s disciples heard [what happened], they went [to the prison] and took John’s body and then they buried [it in a burial cave].
30 Manzani ba ba ye ni Yesu nda vu ikpie wa ba tie'a bla wa wawu-u.
The [twelve] apostles returned to Jesus [from the places to which they had gone]. They reported to him what they had done and what they had taught [to people].
31 A hla bawu “Rju hi ni wi gi wa bi he kimbi'a ndi kusi tsame. Don indi gbugbu wu ba ta ye nda hi ni ba u ba ka na he nton u rli ua mena.
He said to them, “Come [with me] to a place where no people are living, in order that we can be alone and rest a little while!” [He said this] because many people were continually coming to them and going [away again], with the result that [Jesus and] his disciples did not have time to eat [or do anything else].
32 U Manzani ba ba ka rju dran gwu hi wrji wa indi ba na he'a na.
So they went away by themselves in a boat to a place where no people were living.
33 Amma indi ba ba to ba nda to rju mba nda tsutsu ni za rju ni mi gbuba wawu-u nda ka ri ni bubu'a guci ni bawu.
[But many] people saw them leaving. They also recognized [that they were Jesus and the disciples, and they saw where they were going]. So they ran [ahead on land] from all the [nearby] towns to the place [where Jesus and his disciples were going]. They [actually] arrived there before [Jesus and the disciples].
34 Da ba-a rugran ne'a nda ka to kpentren ndi wa ba ki gben ba'-a, wa a lo'u suron don bana rhi kpe me na intamma wa ba na he ni ndi ma na. a krli ri ni tsuro ba' ikpi gbugbu-u.
As Jesus [and his disciples] got out of the boat, Jesus saw this large crowd. He felt sorry for them because they were [confused], like sheep that do not have a shepherd. So he taught them many things.
35 Ba he me u icha ye tie u mali ko ma baka tre wu ndu.
Late [in the afternoon], the disciples came to him and said, “This is a place where no people live and it is very late.
36 Hla ndu ba hi ni mi gbu bi wie wiere na le birli da di don iwrji wa ba he'a bran inkon ni gbu.
[So] send the people away in order that they may go to the surrounding farms and villages in order that they can buy for themselves something to eat!”
37 Wa' a kasa ba wu din, nno ba ikpie wa ba rlia. Ba mye, ki hi le bredi u denari derli harli ye nno ba?
But he replied, “[No], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!” They replied, “(We could not buy enough bread to feed [this crowd], even if we had as much money as a man earns by working 200 days!/How could we buy enough bread to feed [this mob], even if we had as much money as a man earns by working 200 days?)” [RHQ]
38 Wa mye ba “bi he ni gble bredi bren? Hi ndi hi ya' to”. Da ba ka to, ba hla wu din, Igble nton ni lambe hari.
But he replied to them, “How many loaves of bread do you have? Go and find out!” They [went and] found out and then they told him, “We have [only] five flat loaves and two [cooked] fish!”
39 A ndu ba kusun ni giga'a ni nklan ma.
He instructed [the disciples to tell] all the people to sit down on the green grass.
40 Ba kuson ini nklan deri-deri mba se'titon.
So the people sat in groups. There were 50 people in some groups and 100 people in other groups.
41 A vu bredi ton ba ni lambe ha ba nda nzu ya shulu nda ti lulu ni tu mba nda myre bredi ka nno manzani ma ndu ba ga ndin ba. A la vu lambe ba nda fan ba ti tsitsa ma da ga ba.
Jesus took the five flat loaves and the two fish. He looked up towards heaven and thanked [God] for them. Then he broke the loaves and fish into pieces and kept giving them to the disciples in order that they would distribute them to the people.
42 Baka ntan da wrji sa'sa'me don mbuerma.
Everyone ate [this food] until they all had enough to eat!
43 Ba vu shu ni sisen wlon don harli.
The disciples then collected twelve baskets full of pieces [of bread] and of the fish [that were left over].
44 Bi wa ba tan bredia u lambe-a ba lilon dubu ton.
There were approximately 5,000 men who ate the bread [and fish. They did not even count the women and children].
45 A ni kle tre's da ndu manzani ba ri ni nhamma gwu'a nda hi guci wu ni Besaida nda ndu kpentren ndi ba hi kpamba.
Right away Jesus told his disciples to get into the boat and then go ahead of him to Bethsaida [town, which was] further around [Lake Galilee. He stayed and] dismissed the many people who were there.
46 Da indi ba ba hi wawu-u wa ka hon hi ngblu nda'yi addua.
After he said goodbye to the people, he went up into the hills in order to pray.
47 Yalu a tie u Jirgi'a ka ri tsutsu ma-a ye u Yesu na rli he ni meme ni nkrji ma.
When it was evening, the [disciples’] boat was in the middle of the lake and Jesus was by himself on the land.
48 A to ba ni mi Jirgia ni tsi kpa wa ba ki tie ni shishi ngwungwu'a nda ta son vu ba yiba.
He saw that the wind was [blowing] against them as they rowed. As a result, they were having great difficulty. He approached them early in the morning, when it was still dark, by walking on the water. He intended to walk by them.
49 Amma da ba to u si zren ni tu ma-a baka ya nda ahi ibrji,
They saw him walking on the water, but they thought that he was a ghost. They screamed
50 sisri ti ba u baka yira yi! Gbagblame, a tre ni ba nda hla bamu vu suron! A hi me! Na klu sisri na!
because they all were terrified when they saw him. But he talked to them. He said to them, “Be calm! Do not be afraid, [because] it is I!”
51 A ri mi Jirgi'a ni ba' u ngwu ngwu'a ka ku kli nda na la fu na. Ikpie a nno ba mre kpukpome.
He got into the boat [and sat down] with them and the wind [immediately] blowing. They were completely amazed [about what he had done].
52 Don ba na rli rehe to njima ni kpie wa a tie ni bredi ba me' isuron ba ana kpan kpa.
[Although they had seen Jesus multiply] the [bread and the fish], they did not understand [from that how powerful he was, as they should have]. They did not think clearly about it.
53 Niwa ba ru kikle (kpace) ma-a, ba ye ni gbu Gennesarit nda llo' Jirgia zi ki.
After they went further around [Lake Galilee in a boat, they came to the shore at Gennesaret town]. Then they tied up the boat there.
54 Niwa ba rju ni Jirgi'a indi ba ba tsi to-o,
As soon as they got out of the boat, [the people there] recognized Jesus.
55 nda tsutsu ka nji bi lillo ni ba tabli mba rji ba'u nklan mba hi ni wrji wa ba wo nda a hea.
So they ran throughout the whole district [in order to tell others that Jesus was there]. Then the people [placed] those who were sick on stretchers and carried them to any place where they heard [people say] that Jesus was.
56 Duk wrji wa a ri ni gbu, ko rligra ma ko tsitsa ma ko ni meme ndi bari ani to ba zi bi lillo ni bubu wa ba zu hi kasuwa. Ba breu ndu don ba me' ndu ba kpire nyiu nklon ma, gbugbu u wa ba kpire a ba kpa si kpamba
In whatever village, town or other place where he entered, they would bring to the marketplaces those who were sick. Then the [sick people] would beg Jesus to let them touch [him or] even the edge of his clothes [in order that Jesus might heal them]. All those who touched [him or his robe] were healed.
