Mark 6
1 Jesus left [Capernaum city and went to his hometown, Nazareth]. His disciples went with him.
Na ahepa ipo nabhale humuji ni wabho asundwa abhakwe bhahadaga.
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]
Ulutuyo palwahafiha, ali anza amanyizywe mwi Sinagogi. Abhantu abhinji bhahamuvhaga. Naswijiziwe bhahayaga, “Azwajile wihiizi izywa manyizwa?” “Liphana ashi ili ilwapewilwe?” “Abhomba amanjele iga humakhono gakwe?”
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.
“Ishi unu sawa selemala, umwana wa Maria uholo wabho aYakobo, Yose, Yuda na Simoni? Je adada bhakwe tukhalanabho mumu nanthi?” Hakufulaisha nu 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!”
U Yesu abhabhula, “Ukuwa haga akosa awogopwe, ilakati yikhaya yakwe na mubhamo muholo bhakwe na munyumba mwakwe.”
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.
Hagawezyaga abhombe amanjele epo, lelo abheha amakhono abhini bhashe abhaponwa.
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].
Ahaswiga sana pasaga wamini wabho. Ajendelela ikhaya izywapalamani ahamanyizya.
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].
Ahabha kuga asudwa bhakwe ilongo limo nabhantu bhabhili ahanda atume bhabhili bhabhili. Apela amulaka juu yipepo ichafu,
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].
na bhamulile bhaanganje aweje hahunti pabhajenda ila ulusansotu bhanganda aweje ibumunda wala ifhulushi wala ihela pahosi;
lelo bhakwataje ishilato, lelo siyo amakanzu gabhili.
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.
Ahabhabhula, “Nyumba yayundti iyamunza winjile, khalanji upa pamwaishila.
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].”
Ikhaya yayundti iyasi habhejela wala abhuvhe, shilaji pabhene, kunyu ntaji amakundi agamagaga genyu, bhawiloleje abene.”
12 [So] after the disciples went out [to various towns], they were preaching that people should stop their sinful behavior.
Nabhope bhahashila bhatangazwa abhantu bhalambaje imbivhi zyabho.
13 They were also expelling many evil spirits [from people], and they were anointing many sick people with [olive] oil and healing them.
Bhanyi ipepo inyinji, na bhapahaga amafuta abhinu bhaponaga.
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!”
Utawala uHalode pahuvhwa ingo, afutane itawa lwa Yesu lwamanyishe sana. Bhamo bhayanga, “U Yohana uyabhozwa azyushile pipo isho inkuniimaanjele ibhomba imbombo mhati yakwe.”
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].”
Bhamo bhahayanga huje, “Unu yu Eliya,” Lelo bhamo bhayanga, “Unu yukuwa, uwali nishi bhala akuwa abhimandi.”
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]!”
Lelo uHalode pahuvhaigo ahayanga, “Ahaga uYohana, uwihandumule itwe azywushile.”
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.
Lelo Helode yuyo alajizwe huje uYohana akhatwe ahapinya nahubhishe mwigeleza hunongwa Herodia (ushi wa kuluwakwe Filipo) pipo lelo umwene ali agojile.
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.
Lelo uYohana ali abhulile uHerode, “Sagashizha aweje ushi uwa khulubho.”
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].
Lelo uHerodia ahanda huvhitililwe na azaga ahugoje, lelo haga awezizwe,
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.
lelo uHerode amwogupe uYohana; amenye muntu wana lwoli nzhelu ahaleha huwinza, pahendelela hu mwuvhe. Asulumana sana lelo ahamoga hutejelezywe.
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].
Po uhafi uwakati uwene pabhelaga isiku ilwa papwe Herode abhandalila atalamu abhakwe ishelehe, na adadamu nalongozi ami Galialaya.
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!”
Phipo ulendu wa Herodia ahinjila nacheze witazi wabhene, afulaiswa uHarode na jenyu abhakhile uwakati uwishalwe shalwevhela. Epo utawala abhula ulendu, “Undavhe hahondti uwaza nani izahupele.”
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]!”
Alapilizya huje, hahudi hubha ndavhe, izahupele, ahata inusu iyitala wani.”
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!”
Afuma huzi avhuzya anyina wakwe, “Indavhe yenu?” Abhula, “Itwe ilwa Yohana uwa Wonza.”
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]!”
Shisho ahinjila watawala ahanda ayanje, “Iwaza muhati musahani, itwe lwa Yohana uyawozwa.”
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].
Utawala aswiga sana, lelo ululapo ulwalapile na ajenyi, haga hawezywa hukhanile ilwa labhile.
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.
Isho, mutawala ahatuma asinjala abha gulaga abhalajizywe abhale alilete itwelwa yahanaulizi abhatile adumule wijela.
28 He [put it on] a platter, brought it back, and gave it to the girl. The girl took it to her mother.
Ahaleta itwe kwenye sahani na hupele ulindu ulindu apela unyina wakwe.
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].
Asundwa bhakwe pabha huvha isho, bhahabhala abhale aweje ubhilyi gwakwe bhala asywile hunghugwa.
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].
Atumwa bha bhungana witazi wa Yesu, bhabhula gunthi agabhombile na gabhamanyizyaga.
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].
Wope abhabhula, “Izaji mwemwe pasili tutuye hashe.” Abhantu abhinji bhali bhahweza nashile wala habhapata inafusi iyolye.
32 So they went away by themselves in a boat to a place where no people were living.
Bhinjila mumashuwa bhala amahali pasili 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].
Lelo bhahabha lola pabhashila bhahabhamanya abhahanyila lwimagaga upaka humiji guthi, bhope bhafiha shavhasili abhene.
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.
Pahafiha pwani, bhalola ibhuga ingosi bhahabhasajila, pipo bhali nishi ingole izwasazili nu ndimii. Ahanda abha manyizye amambo aminji.
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.
Abhazyo pahedelela sana, asudwa abhahemwizila bhaha bhula,”Ipa tuli mahali pisili umuda gubhalile.
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!”
Ubhalaje bhashilaje aweze ishalye humiji hujiji ivipipi.”
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]
Lelo abhajibhula ayanga, “Bhapeli amwe ishalye.” Tugawezwa awepe nakale amabumunda angisamani na mimbili tubhapele hahalye?”
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!”
Ahabhabhula,” Muna amabumunda galinga? Mubhale mwenye.” pabhavhaga bhahabhula, “Amabumunda gasanu ni samaji nsivhile.”
39 He instructed [the disciples to tell] all the people to sit down on the green grass.
Bhahamuliswa abhantu bhakhale mumasole amolo.
40 So the people sat in groups. There were 50 people in some groups and 100 people in other groups.
Bhaha khazywa makundi; makundi mamia na amhamsini.
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.
Ahenga amabumunda gasanu na samaki zibhili, na wenye humwanya, ahasanya aha pela asudwa waweke mbele ya umati. Bhabhishe nasamaki zibhili, na zitatu wabhathu bhuthi.
42 Everyone ate [this food] until they all had enough to eat!
Bhahalya bhuthi bhayile.
43 The disciples then collected twelve baskets full of pieces [of bread] and of the fish [that were left over].
Bhabhunganya amabumuda sangile, Vyaha mema ivitundu vhibhele, nivindumushila ivisamaki.
44 There were approximately 5,000 men who ate the bread [and fish. They did not even count the women and children].
Bhali alume elufuzisanu abhalile amabunda.
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.
Abhabhula huje bhande mashua bhabhale isemu iyinji, Bethsaida, uwakati abhalaga ulubhungano.
46 After he said goodbye to the people, he went up into the hills in order to pray.
Pabha habha bhashila, abhala wi gamba alavhe.
47 When it was evening, the [disciples’] boat was in the middle of the lake and Jesus was by himself on the land.
Pawahahavha shalyevhela na mashua yabho ulwo ili pahati pazhumbi alimwene panzi inyumu.
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.
Ahalola bhatamiwa akhome makasiapipo ihala ihapingaga. Pahuhabha hupambazuha nashaphii abha bhalila, ajendaga amizi ahazaga ashizanye.
49 They saw him walking on the water, but they thought that he was a ghost. They screamed
Lelo pahalola ajenda amwanya iyimeze, bhapata uwasi wasi bhagazimu hata bhakhola.
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!”
pipo bhahalola vhahijila ishaka. Ahagana yanje anabho abhabhula, “Mubhanje bhadadamu! nene! Mganje abhe nihofu.”
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].
Ahinjila muhati mumashua, na ihala ihaleha avungume na haswiga 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.
Haga bhahelewa imana iyagala amabumunda. Injele zhwabho zyalidodo.
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.
Bhope pali bhaloushe isyila bhafiha insi ya Genesareti mashua ikati nanga.
54 As soon as they got out of the boat, [the people there] recognized Jesus.
Pabhahaguma huzi iye mashua, bhahatabula.
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.
Bhahanyila atangazwe mkowa gwundhi bhahandu abhalete avhinu mzego mzega, shila pahuvhaga huje awiza.
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.
Pundi pahinjilaga huvijiji, au mumiji, au munzhi, bhabhihaga avhinu pasoko, bhalamba huje bhapala mazhwaje amenda gakwe. Na bhundti abhakhete bhaponile.
