Marku 6
1 Te lamloh thoo tih amah tolrhum la a caeh vaengah a hnukbang rhoek loh a vai uh.
Jesus left [Capernaum city and went to his hometown, Nazareth]. His disciples went with him.
2 Sabbath a pha neh tunim ah thuituen ham te a tong. Te vaengah aka ya rhoek boeih loh let uh tih, “Anih loh hebang he mekah lae a hmuh? Mekah cueihnah nim anih a paek tih a kut neh hebang thaomnah he a tueng sak?
(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 Anih he Mary capa, James, Joses, Judah neh Simon kah a manuca, lettamala a om moenih a? A ngannu rhoek khaw mamih taengah a om uh moenih a he?” a ti uh. Te dongah anih kongah te amih te a khah uh.
([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 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Tonghma he a tolrhum ah, a hui rhoek lakli neh a im khuikah pawt atah sawtsit ti om pawh,” a ti nah.
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 Tedae hlang tlo a yool kut a tloeng tih hoeih sak pawt koinih te ah te a thaomnah pakhat khaw tueng thai mahpawh.
[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 Amih kah hnalvalnah kongah a ngaihmang. Tedae kho kah a taengvai te a hil tih a thuituen.
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 Hlainit te a khue phoeiah rhalawt mueihla soah saithainah te amih taengah a paek tih amih te panit panit ah a tueih.
[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 Te phoeiah amih te longpueng ah conghol bueng pawt atah buhcun, sungsa, cihin khuiah rhohum khaw khuen pawt ham a uen.
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 Tedae khokhom a khom tih angki yung nit puei sak pawh.
10 Te phoeiah amih te, “Im na kun thil uh coeng te tah te lamkah loh na voei hlan khuiah pahoi naeh thil.
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 Nangmih aka doe pawt tih nangmih kah ol aka hnatun pawt hmuen te tah, te lamkah loh na nong uh vaengah na kho hmuikah tangdik te khoek uh lamtah amih taengah laipai la om saeh,” a ti nah.
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 Te daengah cet uh tih tholh yut ham a hoe uh.
[So] after the disciples went out [to various towns], they were preaching that people should stop their sinful behavior.
13 Rhaithae khaw Gmuep a haek uh. Aka tlo khaw situi neh a hluk uh tih muep hoeih uh.
They were also expelling many evil spirits [from people], and they were anointing many sick people with [olive] oil and healing them.
14 Jesuh ming tah mingpha coeng tih Herod manghai loh a yaak vaengah, “Tui aka nuem Johan tah duek lamkah thoo coeng. Te dongah a khuikah thaomnah loh a tueng pah,” a ti uh.
[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 Tedae a tloe rhoek loh, “Elijah ni,” a ti uh. A tloe rhoek bal loh, “Tonghma rhoek khuikah tonghma pakhat van coini,” a ti uh.
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 Herod loh a yaak vaengah, “Kai loh ka rhaih Johan te ni aka thoo coeng,” a ti
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 Herod amah rhoe loh a tah tih Johan te a tuuk. Te vaengah anih te a manuca Philip yuu, Herodias kawng neh thongim ah a khoh.
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 Anih te a yunah dongah Johan loh Herod te, “Na maya yuu te na loh tueng moenih,” a ti nah.
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 Te dongah Herodias loh Johan te a hmuhuet tih ngawn ham a ngaih dae ngawn thai pawh.
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 Herod loh Johan te aka dueng neh aka cim hlang ni tila a ming dongah a rhih tih a tuem. Johan ol a yaak vaengah muep ingang dae liplip a hnatun.
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 Herod loh cunnah khohnin tapkhoeh a pha vaengah a hlanglen rhoek, rhalboeipa rhoek, Galilee kah a congkhang rhoek ham te hlaembuh a saii pah.
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 Te vaengah Herodias canu te kun tih a lam hatah Herod neh aka ngol rhoek te a ko a hoe sak. Manghai loh hula te, “Na ngaih te tah kai taengah ham bih lamtah nang kan pae eh?,” a ti nah.
[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 Te phoeiah anih taengah rhep a toemngam tih, “Kai taengah na bih te tah ka ram rhakthuem hil khaw nang kan paek ni,” a ti nah.
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 Tedae cet tih a manu taengah, “Balae ka bih eh?” a ti nah hatah a manu loh, “Tuinuem Johan kah a lu te,” a ti nah.
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 Te dongah manghai taengah thahluenah neh thaeng kun tih, “Baelpuei dongah tuinuem Johan kah a lu te kai nan paek pahoi hamla ka ngaih,” a ti nah tih a bih.
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 Manghai loh ngang a yaak dae a olhlo neh aka ngol rhoek kongah te aal hamla ngaih pawh.
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 Tedae manghai loh rhalkap koe a tueih tih a lu te hang khuen ham ol a paek. Te dongah cet tih Johan te thongim khuiah a rhaih.
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 Te phoeiah Johan kah lu te baelpuei dongah han khuen tih hula te a paek. Hula long khaw a manu te a paek.
He [put it on] a platter, brought it back, and gave it to the girl. The girl took it to her mother.
29 A yaak uh vaengah Johan kah hnukbang rhoek tah ha pawk uh tih a rhok te a khuen uh tih phuel ah a khueh uh.
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 Te vaengah caeltueih rhoek te Jesuh taengah tingtun uh tih a saii neh a thuituen uh boeih te a taengah puen uh.
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 Te vaengah amih te, “Nangmih tah namamih bueng mah khosoek hmuen la halo uh lamtah rhaih duem uh dae,” a ti nah. Aka voei rhoek neh aka bal rhoek te muep a om vaengah buh caak ham pataeng hoeng uh pawh.
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 Te dongah amamih bueng khosoek hmuen la lawng neh cet uh.
So they went away by themselves in a boat to a place where no people were living.
33 Amih a caeh uh te a hmuh uh tih muep a ming uh vaengah kho tom lamloh kho neh capit uh tih ana lamhma uh coeng.
[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 Tedae a caeh vaengah hlangping te muep a hmuh. Te vaengah tudawn aka om pawh tu rhoek bangla a om uh dongah amih soah a thinphat tih amih rhoek te muep pahoi a thuituen.
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 Kholaeh tue a pha coeng atah a hnukbang rhoek loh amah te a paan tih, “Khosoek hmuen la om tih a tue khaw kholaeh coeng.
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 Amih he n'tueih daengah ni a taengvai kah lohma neh vangca la cet uh vetih amamih caak te khaw a lai uh eh,” a ti nauh.
[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 Tedae Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Amih te caak koi nangmih loh pae uh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah amah taengah, “Ka cet uh vetih denari yahnih phu vaidam ka lai uh mako, te phoeiah amih caak te ka paek uh mako,” a ti uh.
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 Te vaengah Jesuh loh amih te, “Vaidam meyet na khueh uh? Cet uh lamtah so uh lah,” a ti nah. Te daengah a ming uh tih, “Vaidam hluem nga neh nga lung nit om,” a ti na uh.
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 Te phoeiah amih te, khopol hing soah a boel boel la boeih ngolhlung sak ham a tueih.
He instructed [the disciples to tell] all the people to sit down on the green grass.
40 Te dongah sawmnga ah yakhat ah hloep hloep ngol uh.
So the people sat in groups. There were 50 people in some groups and 100 people in other groups.
41 Te vaengah vaidam hluem nga neh nga lung nit te a doe. Vaan la oeloe tih a uem phoeiah vaidam te a aeh tih hlangping paek ham a hnukbang rhoek te a paek. Nga rhoi te khaw boeih a rhek.
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 Te vaengah boeih a caak uh tih hah uh.
Everyone ate [this food] until they all had enough to eat!
43 Te phoeiah nga neh vaidam kah a nueipil te voh hlainit dongah a bae la a phueih uh.
The disciples then collected twelve baskets full of pieces [of bread] and of the fish [that were left over].
44 Te vaengah vaidam aka ca rhoek te tongpa thawngnga lo uh.
There were approximately 5,000 men who ate the bread [and fish. They did not even count the women and children].
45 Te Phoeiah hlangping te a tueih hlan ah a hnukbang rhoek te lawng khuiah a kun sak tih rhalvangan kah Bethsaida la lamhma phai ham tlek a tanolh.
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 Amih te a phih phoeiah thangthui ham tlang la cet.
After he said goodbye to the people, he went up into the hills in order to pray.
47 Hlaem a pha vaengah lawng te tuili kah laklung ah om tih amah bueng lan ah om.
When it was evening, the [disciples’] boat was in the middle of the lake and Jesus was by himself on the land.
48 Hnukbang rhoek tah khohli loh a kingkalhla a mang dongah lawng a kaih loh a ngawn uh tea hmuh. Khoyin khonoek pali vaengah tuili soah cet tih amih taengla pawk. Tedae amih khum tak hamla a ngaih.
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 Tedae tuili soah a caeh te a hmuh uh vaengah mueihla ni tila a poek uh tih pang uh.
They saw him walking on the water, but they thought that he was a ghost. They screamed
50 Amah te boeih a hmuh uh vaengah thuen uh. Tedae amih te tlek a voek tih, “Ngaimong sak uh, Kai ni, rhih uh boeh,” a ti nah.
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 Te phoeiah amih taengah lawng dongla luei tih khohli khaw paa. Te dongah amamih khuiah a nah la mat limlum uh.
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 Vaidam kawng pataeng hmuhming uh pawt dae a thin te a ning sak uh.
[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 Lan la hlaikan uh tih Gennesaret a pha uh vaengah duem uh.
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 Lawng dong lamkah loh a suntlak uh vaengah Jesuh te kawl a hmat uh.
As soon as they got out of the boat, [the people there] recognized Jesus.
55 Kho tom a hil uh dongah tloh aka khueh rhoek te, Jesuh om tila a yaak nah la phakdoeng dongah koe a koh uh.
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 Amah a kun nah te tah vangca ah khaw, khopuei ah khaw, lohma ah khaw, hnoyoih hmuen ah khaw tattloel rhoek te a tloeng pauh. Te vaengah a himbai dongkah salaw te taek ham pataeng anih te a hloep uh. Te dongah anih aka taek rhoek boeih tah daem uh.
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.
