Mark 6
1 Jesus left [Capernaum city and went to his hometown, Nazareth]. His disciples went with him.
Na akabhoka apu ni kulota kumjini kwa bhene ni bhanafunzi bha muene bhakan'kesya.
2 (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]
Sabato bho jhifikili ajhandili kufundisya mu sinagogi. Bhanu bhingi bhampelekisi na bhasyangasibhu. Bhakajobha “Akabhili ndaku mafundisu agha?” “Ndo hekima jhelekhu jha apelibhu?” “Ibhomba bhuli miujiza eghe kwa mabhoko gha muene?”
3 ([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.
“Je ojho si ndo jhola selemala, mwana ghwa Mariamu ni ndongo bhabhi bha Yakobo, Yose, Yuda ni Simoni? Je, bhal'omb'o munu si ndo bhitama bahapa pamonga ni tete?” Na bhafurahisibhu lepi ni Yesu.
4 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!”
Yesu akabhajobhela, “Nabii idula lepi heshima, isipokujha mu mji bhwa muene ni mwa bhalongo munu ni munyumba jha muene.”
5 [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.
Abhwesilepi kubhomba miujiza Apu, ila akabhabhekela bhatamu bhaolebe mabhoko kumutu bhakaponyesibhwa.
6 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].
Asyangesibhu sana kwandabha jha kutokuamini kwa bhene. Kisha akafigendela fejiji fya jirani fikumanyisya.
7 [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].
Akabhakuta bhala bhanafunzi kumi na bhabhele akajha nela kubhalaghisya bhabhele bhabhele. Abhapelili mamlaka juu jha pepo bhabhibhi,
8 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].
ni kubhaamuru bhasiloli kyokyohakila isipokujha ndonga tu. Bhasitoli nkate, bhwala nkoba, bhwala fedha, mu kibindu;
Lakini bhafwalajhi filatu na siyo makanzu mabhele.
10 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.
Na akabhajobhela, “Nyumba jhojhioha jha mwibeta kujhingila, mutamayi apu mpaka pa mwibeta kubhoka.
11 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].”
Na mji bhobhuoha bhwa bhabelili kubhapokela bhwala kubhap'elekesya mu bhokai kwa bhene, mukung'undai mafumbi gha magolo ghinu, ijhiayi bhushuhuda kwa bhene.”
12 [So] after the disciples went out [to various towns], they were preaching that people should stop their sinful behavior.
Na bhene bhakalota kutangasya bhanu bhatubuajhi ni kuleka dhambi sya bhene.
13 They were also expelling many evil spirits [from people], and they were anointing many sick people with [olive] oil and healing them.
Bhabhabhosili pepo bhingi, na bhabhabakili bhatamu mafuta hi kubhaponyesya.
14 [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!”
Mfalme Herode bho ap'eliki aghu, kwa kujha lihina lya Yesu lyamalili kumanyikana sana. Baadhi bhakajobha, “Yohana mbatizaji afufuiki ni kwa ndabha ej'he nghofu jha miujiza jhibhomba mbombo mugati mwa muene.”
15 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].”
Baadhi jha bhene bhakajobha, “Ojho ndo Eliya,” bado bhangi bhakajobha, “Ojho ndo nabii, kama mmonga ghwa bhala manabii bha muandi.”
16 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]!”
Lakini Herode bho ap'eliki agha akajobha, “Yohana, jhanin'dumuili mutu afufulibhu.”
17 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.
Maana Herode muene alaghisi Yohana akamulibhwayi na amfungili mu ligereza kwandabha jha Herodia (n'dala ghwa kakajhake Filipo) kwa ndabha muene ajhele an'gegili.
18 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.
Kwandabha Yohana an'jobhili Herode, “Halali lepi kun'gega n'dala ghwa kakajhaku.”
19 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].
Lakini Herodia ajhandili kun'dadila kun'koma lakini abhwesi lepi,
20 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.
maana Herode an'tilili Yohana; amanyili kujha n'kolo haki na n'takatifu, na andekili kinofu. Na bhoajhendelili kump'elekesya ahuzuniki sana, lakini ah'obhelili kump'elekesya.
21 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].
Hata bho nghufikili bhwakati muafaka jhifikili ni kukaribila ligono lya kuhogoleka Herode akabhajhandalila maofisa bha muene karamu, ni makamanda ni bhalongosi bha Galilaya.
22 [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!”
Ndipo mwali ghwa Herodia akajhingila ni kukina mbele jha bhene, akamfurahisya Herode ni bhageni bhabhatamili bhwakati bhwa kyakulya kya kimihi. Ndipo mfalme akan'jobhela mwali, “Nis'okajhi kyokyoha kya ghwilonda nani nikupela.”
23 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]!”
Akandapila ni kujobha, kyokyoha kyaghwibeta kunis'oma, nibetakupela, hata nusu jha bhufalme bhuangu.”
24 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!”
Akah'oma kwibhala akan'kota nyinamunu, “Nis'okajhi kiki?” Akajobha, “Mutu ghwa Yohana Mbatisiaji.”
25 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]!”
Na mara jhejhuejhu akajhingila kwa mfalme akajhanda kujobha, “Nilonda nipelayi mu sahani, mutu ghwa Yohana Mbatisiji.”
26 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].
Mfalme asikitishibhu sana, lakini kwa ndabha jha kiapo kya muene ni kwa ndabha jha bhahesya abhwesilepi kumbelekelela liombi lya muene.
27 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.
Efyo, mfalme akabhatuma askari Kati jha bhalinzi bha muene ni kubhalaghisya kulota kundetela mutu ghwa Yohana. Mlinzi akalota kun'dumula mutu kwa ajhele mu kifungu.
28 He [put it on] a platter, brought it back, and gave it to the girl. The girl took it to her mother.
Akaghuleta mutu ghwa muene mu sahani ni kumpela mwali, ni mwali akampela nyinamunu.
29 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].
Na bhanafunzi bha muene bho muene bho bhapheliki aghu, bhakalota kuulota mb'ele ghwa muene bhakal'ota kuusiela kumakaburi.
30 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].
Ni mitume, bhabhonganiki pamonga mb'ele jha Yesu bhakamb'ola ghoha gha bhabhombili ni ghabhafundisi.
31 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].
Nu muene akabhajobhela, “Muhidayi mwebhene mahali pa faragha na tup'omosekajhi kwa muda.” Bhanu bhingi bhakajha bhihhida ni kubhoka, hata bhakabhili lepi nafasi jha kulya.
32 So they went away by themselves in a boat to a place where no people were living.
Kabhele bhakakuela mashua bhakalota mahali pa faragha bhene.
33 [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].
Lakini bhabhabhuene bhibhomba ni bhingi bhakabhamanya kwa pamonga bhajumbili kwa magolo kuh'omela miji ghioha, nabhu bhakafika kabla jha bhene.
34 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.
Bho bhafikili pwani, abhubhuene bhumati mbaha na akabhahurumila kwa ndabha bha jhele kama ng'osi syasidulili n'dimaji. Na akajhanda kubhafundisya mambo mingi.
35 Late [in the afternoon], the disciples came to him and said, “This is a place where no people live and it is very late.
Muda bho bhulotili sana, bhanafunzi bhakan'hidila bhakan'jobhela, “Apa ndo mahali pa faragha ni muda ghulotili.
36 [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!”
Ubhalaghajhi bhalotajhi miji ghya jirani ni fijiji ili bhakih'emelilayi kya kulya.”
37 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]
Lakini akabhajibu akajobha,”Mubhapelayi muenga kyakulya.” Bhakan'jobhela, “Twibhwesya kulota kubhahemelela kyakulya ni mikate ghuaghejhe ni thamani jha dinari mia mbili ni kubhapela bhaliajhi?”
38 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!”
Akabhajobhela,” Mujhele ni mikate milenga? Mulotajhi mukalangayi, “bhobhakabhili bhakan'jobhela, “Mikate mihanu ni somba sibhele.”
39 He instructed [the disciples to tell] all the people to sit down on the green grass.
Akabhaamuru bhanu bhatamajhi mu makundi mu mat'ondo mabhesi.
40 So the people sat in groups. There were 50 people in some groups and 100 people in other groups.
Bhakabhatamika mu makundi; makundi gha mamia kwa hamsini.
41 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.
Kisha akalota mikate mihanu ni somba sibhele, ni kulanga kunani, akaghibariki kisha akabhapela bhanafunzi bha muene bhabhakajhi mbele jha bhumati. Kisha aghabhili somba sibhele kwa bhanu bhoha.
42 Everyone ate [this food] until they all had enough to eat!
Bhalili bhoha hadi bhatoshiki.
43 The disciples then collected twelve baskets full of pieces [of bread] and of the fish [that were left over].
Bhabhongeniyi fipandi fya mikate ghyaghibakiri, fyamemili fikapu kumi ni fibhele ni pia fipandi fya somba.
44 There were approximately 5,000 men who ate the bread [and fish. They did not even count the women and children].
Na bhajhele bhagosi elfu tano bhabhalili mikate.
45 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.
Mara akabhajobhela bhakwelayi mu mashua bhalotayi sehemu jh'enge, hadi Bethsaida, bhwakati muene akabhalagha makutano.
46 After he said goodbye to the people, he went up into the hills in order to pray.
Bhobhamalili kubhoka, akalota kukid'onda kus'oma.
47 When it was evening, the [disciples’] boat was in the middle of the lake and Jesus was by himself on the land.
Bhojhifikili kimihi ni mashua gha bhene bhwakati obhu jhajhele katikati jha bahari nu muene ajhele muene pa ndema.
48 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.
Na abhabhuene bhitaabika kufigha ngafi kwa ndabha mp'ongo ghwabhazuili. Bhojhikalibili lukhela, akabhalotela, akajhaigenda panani pa masi na alondeghe kubhap'eta.
49 They saw him walking on the water, but they thought that he was a ghost. They screamed
Lakini bho bhambwene igenda panani pa masi, bhakajhingibhwa ni bhuogha bhakidhanila ndo lijhogijhogi hata bhakajhanda kujhwegha njwegho.
50 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!”
Kwa ndabha bhambwene bhakajhingibhwa ni hofu. Mara akajobha nu muene akabhajobhela, “Mujhelayi bhajasiri! ndo nene! Musijhi ni bhuogha.”
51 He got into the boat [and sat down] with them and the wind [immediately] blowing. They were completely amazed [about what he had done].
Akajhingila mu mashua ni mp'ongo ukalekaghwa gudeme ni bhene bhakan'shangala kabisa.
52 [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.
Kabhele bhajhelibhu lepi maana jhajhele mikate. Maana akili sya bhene syajhele ni bhuelebhwa bhudebe.
53 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.
Na bhene bho bhalobhwiki kwiselya, bhafikili nchi jha Genesareti mashua jhasopili nanga.
54 As soon as they got out of the boat, [the people there] recognized Jesus.
Bhobhah'omili mu mashua, mara bhakammanya.
55 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.
Bhakajumba kutangasya mu mkoa bhuoha na bhakajhanda kubhaleta bhatamu mu machela, khila bhobhip'eleka ihida.
56 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.
Popoha pa ajhingili mu fijiji; au mjini, au mu nchi, bhabhabhekili bhabhine mahali pa soko, na bhakan'sihi abharuhusiajhi kun'kamula pindo lya liguanda lya muene. Na bhoha bhabhan'kamuili bhaponyisibhu.
