< Mark 6 >

1 Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples.
Thuutha ũcio Jesũ akiuma kũu agĩthiĩ itũũra rĩao, arĩ hamwe na arutwo ake.
2 When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished. “Where did this man get these ideas?” they asked. “What is this wisdom He has been given? And how can He perform such miracles?
Mũthenya wa Thabatũ wakinya, Jesũ akĩambĩrĩria kũruta andũ ũhoro arĩ thĩinĩ wa thunagogi, na andũ aingĩ arĩa maamũiguire makĩgega. Nao makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ aarutire maũndũ maya kũ? Nĩ ũũgĩ wa mũthemba ũrĩkũ ũyũ aheetwo, atĩ o na nĩaringaga ciama!
3 Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Aren’t His sisters here with us as well?” And they took offense at Him.
Githĩ ũyũ ti ũrĩa bundi wa mbaũ? Githĩ ũyũ ti mũrũ wa Mariamu, o we mũrũ wa nyina na Jakubu na Jusufu na Judasi na Simoni. Na aarĩ a nyina githĩ matirĩ gũkũ hamwe na ithuĩ?” Nao makĩmũrakarĩra.
4 Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”
Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kũndũ mũnabii ataheagwo gĩtĩĩo no itũũra-inĩ rĩake, na kwa andũ a nyũmba yao, na gwake mũciĩ.”
5 So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.
Nake Jesũ ndaahotire kũringa ciama kũu, o tiga atĩ nĩaigĩrĩire andũ mataarĩ aingĩ moko arĩa maarĩ arũaru nao makĩhona.
6 And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.
Nake akĩgega nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa maagĩte wĩtĩkio. Jesũ agĩcooka agĩthiĩ akĩrutanaga itũũra gwa itũũra.
7 Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.
Agĩcooka agĩĩta arutwo arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ, akĩmatũma mathiĩ eerĩ eerĩ na akĩmahe ũhoti wa kũingata ngoma thũku.
8 He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—
Na akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũtigekuuĩre kĩndũ o nakĩ rũgendo-inĩ tiga o mũtirima; na mũtigakuue mũgate, kana mondo, kana mbeeca ibeeti-inĩ cianyu.
9 and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.
Ĩkĩrai iraatũ no mũtigakuue nguo cia kũgarũrĩra.
10 And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.
Rĩrĩa rĩothe mwatoonya nyũmba, ikarai kuo nginya rĩrĩa mũkoima itũũra rĩu.
11 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that place, as a testimony against them.”
Na kũrĩa andũ matakamũnyiita ũgeni kana marege kũmũthikĩrĩria-rĩ, mũkiuma kuo mũkaaribariba magũrũ manyu rũkũngũ rũitĩke, rũtuĩke ũira wa kũmatuĩra ciira.”
12 So they set out and preached that the people should repent.
Nao makiumagara magĩthiĩ makĩhunjagia atĩ andũ merire.
13 They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.
Ningĩ makĩingata ndaimono nyingĩ na magĩitĩrĩria andũ aingĩ arĩa maarĩ arũaru maguta nao makĩhona.
14 Now King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known, and people were saying, “John the Baptist has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
Mũthamaki Herode nĩaiguire ũhoro ũcio, nĩgũkorwo rĩĩtwa rĩa Jesũ nĩrĩagĩte igweta mũno. Andũ amwe moigaga atĩrĩ, “Johana Mũbatithania nĩariũkĩte kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ, na nĩkĩo arĩ na hinya mũnene ũguo wa kũringa ciama.”
15 Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”
Angĩ nao makoiga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩ Elija.” Angĩ nao makoiga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩ mũnabii ta ũmwe wa arĩa a tene.”
16 But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”
Nowe Herode rĩrĩa aiguire ũhoro ũcio, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Johana, mũndũ ũrĩa ndaatinithirie mũtwe-rĩ, nĩariũkĩte kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ!”
17 For Herod himself had ordered that John be arrested and bound and imprisoned, on account of his brother Philip’s wife Herodias, whom Herod had married.
Nĩgũkorwo, Herode we mwene nĩanyiitithĩtie Johana na akamũikithia njeera. Eekĩte ũguo nĩ ũndũ wa Herodia, ũrĩa warĩ mũtumia wa mũrũ wa nyina Filipu, nĩgũkorwo Herode nĩamũhikĩtie.
18 For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”
Nake Johana nĩeraga Herode atĩrĩ, “Ndũrĩ na rũtha kũhikia mũtumia wa mũrũ wa maitũguo.”
19 So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Herodia agĩtuma Johana ũthũ na akĩenda kũmũũragithia. No ndangĩahotire gwĩka ũguo,
20 because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man. When he heard John’s words, he was greatly perplexed; yet he listened to him gladly.
nĩgũkorwo Herode nĩetigĩrĩte Johana na akamũgitagĩra, tondũ nĩoĩ atĩ aarĩ mũndũ mũthingu na mũtheru. Herode nĩathikagĩrĩria Johana, no nĩatangĩkaga mũno amũigua; no nĩendaga mũno kũmũthikĩrĩria.
21 On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũmwe Herodia nĩagĩire na mweke. Herode nĩarugithirie iruga inene rĩa kũririkana mũthenya wa gũciarwo gwake, nake agĩĩta anene arĩa maamũteithagia na atongoria ake a mbũtũ cia ita, na andũ arĩa maarĩ igweta kũu Galili.
22 When the daughter of Herodias came and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests, and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.”
Na rĩrĩa mwarĩ wa Herodia aatoonyire kũu maarĩ na akĩina-rĩ, agĩkenia Herode na ageni ake arĩa meetĩtwo iruga rĩu. Mũthamaki akĩĩra mũirĩtu ũcio atĩrĩ, “Hooya o kĩrĩa gĩothe ũngĩenda na nĩngũkũhe.”
23 And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”
Akĩĩhĩta, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Kĩrĩa gĩothe ũngĩhooya nĩngũkũhe, o na angĩkorwo nĩ nuthu ya ũthamaki wakwa.”
24 Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”
Mũirĩtu ũcio agĩthiĩ akĩũria nyina atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ ngwĩtia?” Nyina akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩtia mũtwe wa Johana Mũbatithania.”
25 At once the girl hurried back to the king with her request: “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.”
O rĩmwe mũirĩtu ũcio akĩhiũha, agĩtoonya he mũthamaki, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ngwenda ũũhe o rĩu mũtwe wa Johana Mũbatithania ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa kiuga.”
26 The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.
Mũthamaki akĩigua kĩeha mũno, no tondũ wa mwĩhĩtwa wake na nĩ ũndũ wa ageni ake, ndangĩaregire gwĩka ũguo orĩtio.
27 So without delay, the king commanded that John’s head be brought in. He sent an executioner, who went and beheaded him in the prison.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtũma mũthigari ũmwe wa arĩa maamũrangagĩra, o hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩmwatha athiĩ arehe mũtwe wa Johana. Mũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ njeera agĩtinia Johana mũtwe
28 The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.
akĩũrehe na kiuga, akĩnengera mũirĩtu ũcio, nake akĩũnengera nyina.
29 When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.
Nao arutwo a Johana maigua ũhoro ũcio, magĩũka, makĩoya mwĩrĩ wake, magĩthiĩ, makĩũthika.
30 Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.
Atũmwo nĩmagomanire harĩ Jesũ, makĩmwĩra maũndũ marĩa mothe meekĩte, na marĩa maarutĩte andũ.
31 And He said to them, “Come with Me privately to a solitary place, and let us rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.
Na tondũ wa ũrĩa andũ aingĩ mookaga magĩthiiaga-rĩ, matingĩahotire kuona o na hĩndĩ ya kũrĩa irio, nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũkai inyuĩ oiki, tũthiĩ handũ hatarĩ inegene, tũkahurũke.”
32 So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩingĩra gatarũ marĩ oiki, magĩthiĩ handũ hataarĩ andũ.
33 But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.
Nao andũ aingĩ arĩa maamonire magĩthiĩ, makĩmamenya, magĩtengʼera na magũrũ moimĩte matũũra-inĩ mothe, magĩkinya mbere yao.
34 When Jesus stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.
Na rĩrĩa Jesũ oimire gatarũ, akĩona andũ aingĩ, akĩmaiguĩra tha, tondũ maatariĩ ta ngʼondu itarĩ na mũrĩithi. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩambĩrĩria kũmaruta maũndũ maingĩ.
35 By now the hour was already late. So the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late.
Na gwatua gũtuka, arutwo ake magĩthiĩ kũrĩ we, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Gũkũ nĩ werũ-inĩ na rĩu gũkiriĩ gũtuka.
36 Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”
Ĩra andũ aya mathiĩ nĩguo makinye mĩgũnda-inĩ na matũũra-inĩ marĩa me hakuhĩ makegũrĩre kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa.”
37 But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked Him, “Should we go out and spend two hundred denarii to give all of them bread to eat?”
Nowe akĩmacookeria akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Maheei kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa arĩ inyuĩ.” Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũrenda tũthiĩ tũkagũre mĩgate ya dinari magana meerĩ tũmahe marĩe?”
38 “Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.”
Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũrĩ na mĩgate ĩigana? Thiĩi mũrore.” Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maarorire makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Harĩ na mĩgate ĩtano, na thamaki igĩrĩ.”
39 Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.
Nake Jesũ agĩathana andũ othe maikare thĩ ikundi ikundi kũu nyeki-inĩ ĩrĩa yarĩ ho nduru.
40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩikara thĩ marĩ ikundi cia andũ igana na cia andũ mĩrongo ĩtano.
41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke the loaves. Then He gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And He divided the two fish among them all.
Nake akĩoya mĩgate ĩyo ĩtano na thamaki icio igĩrĩ, akĩrora na igũrũ, agĩcookia ngaatho na akĩenyũranga mĩgate ĩyo. Agĩcooka akĩmĩnengera arutwo ake mahe andũ. Ningĩ akĩoya thamaki icio igĩrĩ akĩmagayania othe.
42 They all ate and were satisfied,
Nao othe makĩrĩa makĩhũũna,
43 and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.
nao arutwo makĩũngania cienyũ cia mĩgate na cia thamaki iria ciatigarĩte makĩiyũria ciondo ikũmi na igĩrĩ.
44 And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.
Mũigana wa arũme arĩa othe maarĩire irio icio maarĩ ngiri ithano.
45 Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.
Na hĩndĩ o ĩyo Jesũ akĩĩra arutwo ake matoonye gatarũ mathiiage mbere yake makinye Bethisaida, mũira wa oigĩre kĩrĩndĩ ũhoro.
46 After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray.
Thuutha wa kũmoigĩra ũhoro, akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ agĩthiĩ kũhooya.
47 When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land.
Na gũgĩkinya hwaĩ-inĩ, gatarũ kaarĩ gatagatĩ ka iria, nake Jesũ aarĩ thĩ nyũmũ arĩ wiki.
48 He could see that the disciples were straining to row, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea. He intended to pass by them,
Nake akĩona arutwo makĩĩgũmĩra gũtwara gatarũ, tondũ rũhuho rwerekeire na kũrĩa moimaga. Na rĩrĩ, ta thaa kenda cia ũtukũ, Jesũ agĩthiĩ kũrĩ o agereire maaĩ igũrũ. Nake aarĩ o hakuhĩ kũmahĩtũka,
49 but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost—
no-o mamuona agereire maaĩ igũrũ magĩĩciiria nĩ ngoma moonaga. Magĩkaya
50 for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
tondũ othe nĩmamuonire na magĩĩtigĩra mũno. O hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũmĩrĩriai! Nĩ niĩ. Tigai gwĩtigĩra.”
51 Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,
Agĩcooka agĩtoonya gatarũ kau maarĩ, naruo rũhuho rũgĩtuĩka. Nao makĩgega mũno,
52 for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.
tondũ matiataũkĩirwo nĩ ũhoro wa mĩgate ĩyo; ngoro ciao ciarĩ o nyũmũ.
53 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.
Na maarĩkia kũringa mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ, magĩkinya Genesareti, makĩoha gatarũ kao hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria.
54 As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus
Maarĩkia kuuma gatarũ-inĩ, o rĩmwe andũ makĩmenya Jesũ.
55 and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.
Magĩtuĩkania bũrũri-inĩ ũcio wothe magakuuaga andũ arĩa maarĩ arũaru na ibarĩ, makĩmatwaraga kũrĩa guothe maiguaga atĩ nĩkuo arĩ.
56 And wherever He went—villages and towns and countrysides—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
Na kũrĩa guothe aathiiaga, mĩciĩ-inĩ, na tũtũũra-inĩ o na kana mĩgũnda-inĩ, o maigaga arĩa arũaru ndũnyũ-inĩ, na makamũthaitha ametĩkĩrie naarĩ mahutie gĩcũrĩ kĩa nguo yake, na arĩa othe maamũhutirie makĩhona.
