Maliko 6
1 Che Yesu ŵatyosile pepala, ŵalongene ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni kwaula ku nsinda wakwe.
Jesus left [Capernaum city and went to his hometown, Nazareth]. His disciples went with him.
2 Palyaiche Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila, Che Yesu ŵatandite kwiganya mu nyuumba ja kusimanilana Ŵayahudi. Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵampilikene ŵasimosile achitiji, “Ana apatile kwapi yele indu yakuisala yi? Ana apatile kwapi lunda lu mundu ju mpaka akombole kuitendekanya yakusimonjeka?
(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 aju ngaŵa jwakusepa jula, mwana ju che Maliamu ni achapwakwe ngaŵa che Yakobo ni che Yusufu ni che Yuda ni che Simoni? Ana achalumbugwe ngakutamanga papapa pamangwetu pa?” Kwa yele ŵankanile.
([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 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu akuchimbichikwa papalipose, nambo ngakuchimbichikwa mchilambo chakwe ni mwa achalongo achinjakwe ni kwa ŵandu ŵaali mu nyuumba jakwe.”
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 Che Yesu nganakombola kuitendekanya indu yakusimosya pa Nasaleti po, nambo nganatupa ŵakulwala ŵaŵaasajichile makono ni kwalamya.
[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 Nombejo ŵasimosile nnope, ligongo ŵandu ŵa kweleko wo nganakulupililanga. Nipele Che Yesu ŵasyungwile mmisinda ja pachiŵandi ni pepala ni kwajiganya ŵandu.
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 Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile ŵakulijiganya ŵao likumi ni ŵaŵili ŵala, ŵatandite kwatuma ŵaŵili ŵaŵili ni kwapa ukombole wa kugakoposya masoka.
[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 Ni ŵaasalile, “Ngasinjigala chindu chachilichose mu ulendo ikaŵe nkongojo pe. Ngasinjigala chakulya chachilichose atamuno nsaku atamuno mbiya.
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 Mbwale italawanda nambo ngasinjigala mwinjilo wine.
10 Papalipose pachampochele nnonjele mmomo mpaka pachintyoche pelepo.
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 Papalipose pachankane kumpochela ni kukana kumpilikanila, ntyoche pelepo nchikung'undaga luundu mmakongolo mwenu, kulosya kuti nkwajamuka, pakuŵa akanile kuupochela utenga wa Akunnungu.”
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 Nipele ŵatyosile, ŵaalalichile ŵandu aleche sambi syao.
[So] after the disciples went out [to various towns], they were preaching that people should stop their sinful behavior.
13 Ŵagakopwesye masoka gamajinji, sooni ŵaapakesye mauta ŵakulwala ŵajinji ni kwalamya.
They were also expelling many evil spirits [from people], and they were anointing many sick people with [olive] oil and healing them.
14 Mwenye che Helode ŵasipikene ngani syo, pakuŵa liina li Che Yesu lyamanyiche papalipose. Ŵandu ŵampepe ŵatite, “Mundu ju ali che Yohana Jwakubatisya, asyuchile! Kwaligongo lyo akwete machili ga kupanganya yakusimonjeka.”
[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 Nambo ŵane ŵatite, “Mundu ju ali che Elia.” Nombe ŵane ŵatite, “Ali jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu mpela aŵala ŵakulondola ŵa kalakala.”
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 Nambo che Helode paŵapilikene yeleyi, ŵatite, “Jweleju ali che Yohana Jwakubatisya junankatile ntwe, asyuchile!”
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 Che Helode ŵaganisisye yeleyo pakuŵa, kundanda ko ŵaalajisye ŵandu kuti ŵakamule che Yohana ni kwataŵa mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ŵandu. Che Helode ŵatesile yeleyo ligongo ŵalombile che Helodia juŵaliji ŵankwakwe che Filipo mpwakwe.
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 Che Yohana Ŵakubatisya ŵaasalilaga che Helode, “Ngaikuŵajilwa mmwe kwalomba ŵankwakwe mpwenu.”
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 Nipele che Helodia, ŵankwakwe mwenye, ŵanchimile nnope che Yohana, ŵasachile kwaulaga, nambo nganakombola.
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 Che Helode ŵanjogopaga che Yohana pakuŵa ŵaimanyilile kuti ŵaliji jwambone ni jwanswela, kwapele ŵanlindilile. Che Helode yaanonyelaga kwapilikanila che Yohana, nachiŵamuno yaapetekaga ntima kwannope paŵamalisyaga kwapikanila.
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 Nambo lyuŵa limo, che Helodia ŵapatile lipesa pa lyuŵa lyakumbuchila kupagwa kwa che Helode. Che Helode ŵaapanganyichisye chindimba achakulu ŵa nkungulu wakwe, achakulu ŵa ŵandu ŵangondo ni ilongola ŵa chilambo cha ku Galilaya.
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 Nipele, mwali ju che Helodia ŵajinjile, ŵatyasile ni kunnonyelesya kwannope mwenye che Helode ni achalendo ŵakwe. Mwenye che Helode ŵansalile mwali jula, “Mumende chachilichose chinkuchisaka, chinampe.”
[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 Ni sooni ŵalumbilile, “Chachilichose chachimumende chinampe, atamuno mbindikati ja umwenye wangu.”
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 Mwali jo ŵakopweche ni kwaula kwa achikulugwe kukwausya, “Ŵeende chichi?” Achikulugwe ŵajanjile, “Mmende ntwe u che Yohana Jwakubatisya.”
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 Mwali jula ŵausile kwa chitema kwa mwenye ni ŵaasalile, “Ngusaka muumbe sambano pejino, ntwe u che Yohana Ŵakubatisya mu mbale.”
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 Mwenye jula ŵasupwiche nnope, nambo pakuŵa ŵanlumbilile paujo pa achalendo ŵakwe, nganakombola kunkanila.
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 Papopo mwenye ŵantumile jwangondo akajigale ntwe u che Yohana. Jwangondo ŵajawile mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ŵandu ni kwakata che Yohana ntwe.
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 Ŵaichenawo ntwe ula mu mbale ni kumpa mwali, nombejo ŵampele achikulugwe.
He [put it on] a platter, brought it back, and gave it to the girl. The girl took it to her mother.
29 Ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Yohana paŵajipilikene ngani jo, ŵapite kukwigala chiilu chakwe ni kuchisika.
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 Achinduna ŵala ŵausile ku ulendo wao ni kunsalila Che Yesu yose iŵaitesile ni iŵaijigenye.
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 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Tujaule peuto pangali ŵandu kuti nkapumulile.” Ŵaŵechete yeleyo ligongo kwaliji kwana ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵaikaga ni kutyoka, namose Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe nganapatanga lipesa lyakuti alyanje.
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 Nipele ŵajinjile mu ngalaŵa achinsyene pe kwaula peuto pangali ŵandu.
So they went away by themselves in a boat to a place where no people were living.
33 Nambo ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaaweni paŵajaulaga po, ni ŵamanyilile. Nipele ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaumile misi jose ŵautuchile ni ŵalongolele kwika kwiuto kula, Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao akanaiche.
[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 Paŵatulwiche mu ngalaŵa, Che Yesu ŵauweni mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu, ŵaukolele chanasa ligongo ŵaliji mpela ngondolo syangali ni jwakuchinga ni ŵatandite kwajiganya indu yejinji.
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 Palyaiche ligulo ŵakulijiganya ŵaajaulile Che Yesu ni kwasalila, “Sambano kuswele ni sooni mutuli muno mwipululu.
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 Mwalanje ŵandu ŵa ajaulangane mmisinda jajiŵandichile pane mmigunda, akalisumile yakulya.”
[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 Nambo Che Yesu ŵatite, “Ŵanyamwe mwape chakulya alyanje.” Ŵanyawo ŵausisye, “Ana nkusaka tukasume mikate kwa mbiya syasijinji syanti yele, ni kwapa alyanje?”
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 Nambo Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Nkwete mikate jilingwa? Njaule nkalole.” Paŵajawile kukulola ni ŵansalile, “Jipali mikate nsano ni somba siŵili.”
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 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵatamiche ŵandu wo pa manyasi gamaŵisi mipingo mipingo.
He instructed [the disciples to tell] all the people to sit down on the green grass.
40 Nombewo ŵatemi mmipingo ja ŵandu mia moja ni ja ŵandu hansini.
So the people sat in groups. There were 50 people in some groups and 100 people in other groups.
41 Nipele Che Yesu ŵajigele mikate nsano jila pamo ni somba siŵili sila. Ŵalolite kwinani ni kwatogolela Akunnungu ni kujigaŵanya mikate jila. Ni ŵapele ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti ŵagaŵanyichisye ŵandu. Ilaila ŵagaŵilenye ŵandu wose somba siŵili sila.
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 Ŵandu wose ŵalile ni kwikuta.
Everyone ate [this food] until they all had enough to eat!
43 Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵakumbikenye sigasi sya mikate ni somba, ŵagumbesye itundu kumi na mbili.
The disciples then collected twelve baskets full of pieces [of bread] and of the fish [that were left over].
44 Achalume ŵaŵalile mikate jo ŵaliji mianda nsano.
There were approximately 5,000 men who ate the bread [and fish. They did not even count the women and children].
45 Papopo Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao ajinjilanje mu ngalaŵa alongolele ku Besesaida kwakuli peesi litanda. Nombejo ŵasigalile kuti aulanje mpingo wa ŵandu ula.
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 Paŵamasile kwalanga ŵandu, Che Yesu ŵakwesile kwitumbi kukupopela.
After he said goodbye to the people, he went up into the hills in order to pray.
47 Palyaiche ligulo, ngalaŵa jila jaliji pambindikati litanda, katema ko Che Yesu ŵaliji jikape kunsanga.
When it was evening, the [disciples’] boat was in the middle of the lake and Jesus was by himself on the land.
48 Nipele ŵaweni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵala achilagaga mu ngalaŵa, ligongo mbungo jaliji jininkwaputa. Kuninkucha Che Yesu ŵaŵandichile achendaga pachanya meesi ni ŵalitesile akwapelenganya.
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 Nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵala paŵammweni ali nkwenda pachanya meesi, ŵaganisisye lilaika, ni ŵatandite gumilanga.
They saw him walking on the water, but they thought that he was a ghost. They screamed
50 Pakuŵa wose paŵambweni ŵajogwepe nnope. Papopo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Muusimane ntima, ndili une, kasinjogopanga.”
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 Nipele ŵajinjile mu ngalaŵa jiŵaliji ŵakulijiganya ŵao mula ni mbungo jatulele. Ŵakulijiganya ŵasimosile nnope,
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 ligongo, ŵaliji akanamanyilile chatesile Che Yesu nkati mikate jila, pakuŵa mitima jao jatopelwe kumanyilila.
[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 Che Yesu pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajombweche litanda, ŵaiche ku Genesaleti, pelepo ŵajijimiche ngalaŵa jao.
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 Paŵakopweche mu ngalaŵa, papopo ŵandu ŵaamanyilile Che Yesu.
As soon as they got out of the boat, [the people there] recognized Jesus.
55 Nipele ŵautwiche achisyungulaga pachilambo pose, ni kutanda kwajigalanga ŵakulwala ali agonile mmigono jao, ni kwajausya kulikose kuŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu ali kweleko.
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 Kulikose kuŵajawile Che Yesu, mmisinda, mmisi ni mmigunda, ŵandu ŵaliji nkwagoneka ŵakulwala peuto pakusumichisya malonda, ŵachondelele Che Yesu kuti ŵakulwala ŵakwaye namose luminiko lwa mwinjilo wao. Ni wose ŵaŵakwaiye ŵalamile.
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.
