< Mark 6 >

1 Jesus left [Capernaum city and went to his hometown, Nazareth]. His disciples went with him.
Yesu na vawuliwa vaki, vakawuka penapo vakahamba kuchijiji chaki cha ku Nazaleti.
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]
Ligono la Kupumulila, atumbwili kuwula munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi. Vamahele vevamuyuwini vakangisi, vakajova, “Wu, agapatili koki mambu aga geijova? Apatili koki luhala ulu? Kavili ikita wuli gachinamtiti?
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.
Wu, mwenuyu lepi selemala, mwana wa Maliya na mlongo wavi Yakobo na Yose na Yuda na Simoni? Wu, valumbu vaki titama nawu lepi bahapa?” Ndi vakabela kumsadika.
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 akavajovela, “Mlota wa Chapanga itopeswa kila pandi, lepi kunyumba yaki, kwa valongo vaki na pamulima waki.”
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.
Ndava yeniyo Yesu akitili lepi mambu gachinamtiti pala, ndi avavikili mawoko vatamu vadebedebe akavalamisa.
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].
Akangisi neju ndava ya vandu vangasadika. Kangi Yesu avigendalili muhijiji ya papipi na kuvawula vandu.
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].
Akavakemela vawuliwa kumi na vavili, akatumbula akavatuma vandu vavili vavili, akavapela uhotola wa kuvinga mizuka.
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].
Akavalagiza akajova, “Kwemwihamba uko, mukotoka kugega chindu chochoha chila ndonga ndu, lepi chakulya, lihaku, amala mashonga pachilolo.
9
Muwala champali nambu mkotoka kugega ligwanda lingi.”
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.
Akavajovela, “Nyumba yeyoha yevakuvapokela mutama bahapo mbaka pa ligono lemuwuka.
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].”
Kwa vandu vevibela kuvapokela amala kuvayuwanila, penapo ndi muwuka na muvakung'undila lububu lwavi, kulangisa kuvya vene vaubeli ujumbi wa Chapanga!”
12 [So] after the disciples went out [to various towns], they were preaching that people should stop their sinful behavior.
Hinu, vakawuka penapo vakahamba kuvakokosela vandu vamuwuyila Chapanga.
13 They were also expelling many evil spirits [from people], and they were anointing many sick people with [olive] oil and healing them.
Vakayivinga mizuka vamahele. Na kuvanyala mahuta ga zeituni vatamu vamahele, vakavalamiswa.
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!”
Nkosi Helodi agayuwini goha, muni malovi ga Yesu gayenili pandi zoha. Vandu vangi vajovayi mwenuyu, “Ndi Yohani Mbatizaji ayukili! Ndava muni ihenga gachinamtiti.”
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].”
Vangi vakajova, “Mwenuyu ndi Eliya.” Vangi vakajova, “Mwenuyu ndi mmonga wa valota va Chapanga va kadeni.”
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]!”
Nambu Helodi peayuwini malovi gala akajova, “Yohani namdumwili mutu, hinu ayukili!”
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.
Aholalili genago ndava mu magono ga mumbele, Helodi alagazili Yohani akamuliwa na kukungiwa muchifungu. Genago gahumalili ndava Helodi amgegili Helodiya mdala wa Filipi mweavi mlongo waki.
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.
Yohani amjovelayi Helodi, “Chabwina lepi veve kumtola mdala wa mlongo waku.”
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].
Hinu Helodiya, mweavi mdala wa nkosi, amuhakalili neju Yohani, akagana kumkoma, nambu ahotwili 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.
Helodi amuyogwipi Yohani muni amanyili kuvya Yohani ndi mundu wa msopi na mbwina. Ndava yeniyo amyangalili. Helodi aganayi kumuyuwanila Yohani, pamonga amyuwanili mtima wamvinili.
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].
Ligono limonga mdala wa nkosi apatili fwasi pa ligono la kukumbukwa kwa kuvelekewa Helodi. Hinu akavakemela vagogo va libanji na vachilongosi va Galilaya pamonga na vakulu va manjolinjoli.
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!”
Hinu msikana waki Helodiya, akayingila na kutumbula kukina ngo'ma. Hinu akavahekesa neju Helodi na vayehe vaki. Nkosi akamjovela msikana yula, “Uniyupa chindu chochoha chila na nene yati 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]!”
Kavili akamlapakisa, akamjovela, “Chochoha cheukuniyupa, yati nikupela, hati ngati kugavana upinga wa unkosi wangu.”
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!”
Penapo msikana yula akawuka mugati mu libanji, akahamba kumkota nyina waki. “Wigana niyupa kyani?” Namwene akamyangula, “Mutu wa Yohani Mbatizaji.”
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]!”
Msikana yula akawuya kanyata kavili kwa nkosi, akamjovela, “Nigana unipela hinu naha mulupalu mutu wa Yohani Mbatizaji.”
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].
Nkosi peayuwini genago, akavya ngolongondi, nambu muni ajilapakisi mwene, na ndava ya vayehe vaki, ahotwili lepi kumbelelela msikana yula ndi akamyidikila.
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.
Hinu, akamlagiza linjolinjoli akaleta mutu wa Yohani. Linjolinjoli akahamba kuudumula mutu wa Yohani muchifungu mula,
28 He [put it on] a platter, brought it back, and gave it to the girl. The girl took it to her mother.
kangi amletili mutu wula mulupalu akampela msikana, namwene akampelekela nyina waki.
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].
Vawuliwa va Yohani pevayuwini vakahamba kutola higa yaki vakahamba kuzika.
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].
Vamitumi vakawuya mulugendu lwavi vakamjovela Yesu, mambu goha gavakitili na chavawulili vandu.
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].
Vandu vamahele neju vabwelayi na kuwuka kwa Yesu, ndi mbaka fwasi ya kulya yavi lepi. Hinu Yesu akavajovela vawuliwa, “Tihamba kuchiyepela mukapumulila padebe.”
32 So they went away by themselves in a boat to a place where no people were living.
Hinu, vakawuka ngavene muwatu vakahamba kuchiyepela.
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].
Nambu vandu vamahele vavaweni pavawukayi, vakavamanya. Ndi vakalongolela kuhika kula kwa magendelu kweahambayi Yesu na vawuliwa vaki.
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.
Yesu na vawuliwa vaki pevahulwiki muwatu kumbwani, ndi auweni msambi uvaha wa vandu, akaviniswa mtima, muni vavi ngati limbelele langali mdimaji. Akatumbula kuvawula mambu gamahele.
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.
Lilanga palatipimi, ndi vawuliwa vaki vakahamba kumjovela Yesu, “Penapa palugangatu, lilanga litipama.
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!”
Mbanga uvalaga vandu vahamba mumigunda na muhijiji ya papipi, vakagula vyakulya.”
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]
Yesu akavajovela, “Muvapela nyenye chakulya.” Nambu vene vakamkota, “Tivapela kyani? Yati yikutigana tihenga lihengu kwa miyehi yamahele ndi tipatayi mashonga ga kuvagulila chakulya vandu voha ava?”
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!”
Yesu akavakota, “Mabumunda gavi galinga? Muhamba mukalola.” Pevamali kulola vakawuya kumjovela, “Yivii mhanu na somba zivili.”
39 He instructed [the disciples to tell] all the people to sit down on the green grass.
Yesu akavalagiza vawuliwa vaki vavatamika vandu voha chikundi chikundi pahi pamanyai.
40 So the people sat in groups. There were 50 people in some groups and 100 people in other groups.
Hinu vene vakatama chikundi chikundi, vingi vandu hamsini, na vingi vandu miya.
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.
Kangi Yesu akagatola mabumunda mhanu na somba zila, akalola kunani kwa Chapanga, akamsengusa Chapanga. Ndi akagametula mabumunda gala pamonga na somba zila. Akavapela vawuliwa vaki muni vavagavanisila vandu.
42 Everyone ate [this food] until they all had enough to eat!
Vandu voha vevavi penapo valili vakayukuta.
43 The disciples then collected twelve baskets full of pieces [of bread] and of the fish [that were left over].
Hinu, vakanonga masigalilu ga mabumunda na somba vakamemesa madengu kumi na gavili.
44 There were approximately 5,000 men who ate the bread [and fish. They did not even count the women and children].
Vevalili chakulya chila, vavi vagosi elufu mhanu.
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.
Bahapo Yesu akavalagiza vawuliwa vaki vayingila muwatu valongolela kuhamba kumwambu ya nyanja, kumuji wa Betisaida. Muni mwene avi akona ilagana na msambi wa vandu.
46 After he said goodbye to the people, he went up into the hills in order to pray.
Hati peamali kulagana na vandu, akahamba kuchitumbi kumuyupa Chapanga.
47 When it was evening, the [disciples’] boat was in the middle of the lake and Jesus was by himself on the land.
Lilanga palatipimi, Yesu avi mwene kundumba na watu wamali kuhika pagati ya nyanja.
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.
Mwene avaweni vawuliwa chaving'ahika muwatu mula na mipundi muni mpungu wavi uvaha ukuvawuyisa mumbele. Hinu hambakucha, Yesu avahegalili kuni igenda mumanji akagana kuvapita.
49 They saw him walking on the water, but they thought that he was a ghost. They screamed
Nambu pavamuweni igenda panani ya manji vayogwipi, vaholali kuvya lihoka, “Vakaywanga mulete.”
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!”
Voha pavamuweni vayogwipi neju. Bahapo Yesu akajova nawu, “Mjipolesa mtima. Ndi nene. Mkoto kuyogopa!”
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].
Ndi, akayingila muwatu wevavili vawuliwa na mpungu wa luyuga lukaguna lukumbi lulalula. Vawuliwa vakakangasa neju,
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.
ndava muni vamanyili lepi mana chinamtiti cha kuyonjokeseka chakulya chila ndava ya kunonopa kwa mitima yavi.
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.
Vakakupuka nyanja, vakahika kumuji wa ku Genezaleti vakahuyimika watu.
54 As soon as they got out of the boat, [the people there] recognized Jesus.
Pevahumili muwatu mula, kanyata vandu vakammanya Yesu.
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.
Hinu, kanyata vakahamba kila chijiji pandu pala, vakatumbula kuvatola vatamu vevagonili mumipasa, vakavapeleka kila pevayuwini Yesu avili.
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.
Pandu poha peahambili Yesu, muhijiji na mumiji na mumigunda, vandu vavavikili vatamu pandu pakugulisila vindu, vandu vakamuyupa neju avayidakila vatamu vala, vapamisayi lugunyilu lwa nyula yaki. Ndi voha vevampamisi valamili.
