Mark 8
1 During those days, a large crowd of people gathered again. [After they had been there a couple days], they had no food to eat. So Jesus summoned the disciples [to come closer] and then he said to them,
Lele inzhiku izyo, paliiibuga ingosi, salinishalwe. U Yesu abhakuga asundwa bhakwe ahabhula,
2 “This is the third day that these people have been with me, and they have nothing [left] to eat, so now I feel very sorry for them.
“Injisajila ibuga ini bhendelile abhe nani inzhiku zitatu na sani shalye.
3 Furthermore, if I send them home [while they are still] hungry, [some of] them will faint on the way home, because some of them have come from far away.”
Khimba nyaphanye huje bhabhuye huzinyumba zyabho bila alye bhagazimila mwidala nizala. Mhati yabho bhamo bhafuma hutali sana.”
4 [Knowing that he was suggesting that they give the people something to eat, one of] his disciples replied, “(We cannot possibly find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live!/How can we find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live?)” [RHQ]
Asundwa bhakwe bhajibula, “Tubhagaje wii amabumunda agabhaye bhutnthi ibha nabha kutizye abhantu ibha ineo ilyaleshilye?”
5 Jesus asked them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” They replied, “[We have] seven [flat loaves].”
Ahabhabhuzya, “mulini vipande vhilinga ivhimabumunda?” Bhayanga, “Saba.”
6 Jesus commanded the crowd, “Sit down on the ground!” [After they sat down], he took the seven loaves, he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces] and started giving them to his disciples in order that they might distribute them [to the people].
Awamulila ibhuga bhakhale panzi. Ahega amabumunda saba, ahasalifya Ungulubhi, na budulanye. Abhapela asunda bhakwe bhagabhishe witanzi lyabho, bhahagahiha witanzi libhuga.
7 [They found that] they [also] had a few small [dried] fish. So after he thanked God for these, he told the disciples, “Distribute these also.” [After they distributed the bread and fish to the crowd],
Bhope bhali ni samaki zindodo nyishe, na bada yahusalifye, abhamulila asudwa bhakwe bhaganyiivhi vhope.
8 the people ate this food and they had plenty [to] satisfy [them]. [The disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over. [They filled] seven large baskets full of those pieces.
Na bhahalya naye. Nabhabhunganya ipande ivhisangele ivitundu, ivigasi saba.
9 [They estimated that] there were about 4,000 people [who ate on that day].
Bhelega abhantu elufu zine. Aheleha bhashalaje.
10 Then Jesus dismissed the crowd. Immediately after that, he got into the boat along with his disciples, and they went [around Lake Galilee] to Dalmanutha district.
Mara ahinjila mashua nasundwa bhakwe, nabhashila katika ukanda wa Dalmanuta.
11 [In those days some] Pharisees came to Jesus. They asked him [to perform] a miracle [that would show that] God [had sent him]. They wanted to [find a way by which they could] convince the people to reject him. [So] they started to argue with him.
Amafalisayo bhafumahuzina wande adalisanye nawo. Bhazaga ishimanyilo afume humwanya, bhajelaga.
12 Jesus sighed quietly to himself, and then he said, “I am disgusted that [RHQ], [even though] you people have seen how I [have healed people], you keep asking me to perform miracles! Note this: Such a miracle will certainly not be shown {I will certainly not show such a miracle} [just] for you people!”
Asebha sana mmwoyo gwakwe ayanga, “Yenu ishizazi ishi shiwaza imanyilo? Imbabhula amwe lyoli, na shimo ishimanyilo ishashaifuma hushi zazi ishi.”
13 Then he left them. He got into the boat again, along [with his disciples], and they went further around [Lake Galilee].
Ipo ahambaleha, ahinjila muhati mmashua anthele ahashila awelekele upauwenje.
14 The disciples had forgotten to bring along [enough] food. Specifically, they had only one flat loaf of bread with them in the boat.
Umuda ugwo asudwa bhahi wilwe aweje amabumunda. Sagabhali nishipande shashundhi ishibumunda hata shimo ishali mashua.
15 [As they were going], Jesus warned them against [the attitudes the Pharisees and Herod Antipas had, attitudes that were having a bad effect on other people. He did this by telling them a parable]. He said, “Be careful! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!”
Abhonya hayanje, “Mubhanje maso na witunze ishilela aluzu iya Mafalisayo na haluzu aHarode.
16 [The disciples misunderstood him]. So they said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we have no bread.”
Asundwa bhayangana bhene wabhene, “Pipo sagatuli namabumunda.”
17 Jesus knew [what they were discussing among themselves]. So he said to them, “([I am disappointed that you are] discussing about your not having enough bread!/Why are you discussing about your not having enough bread?) [RHQ] (You should understand by now [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food!/Why do you not yet perceive or understand that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] (You are not thinking!/Why are you not thinking?) [RHQ]
U Yesu ahamanya ili nabhabhula, “Yenu muyangana pasamuli namabumunda? Hamuminye bado? Hagamuwelewa? Amoyo ginyu mapupusu?
18 (I am also disappointed that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see!/Why is it that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see?) [RHQ] You have ears, but you do not understand [what I say] [RHQ]!” [Then he asked], “Do you not remember [what happened]
Amaso hamulola? Munakutu, sagamuhuvhwa? Hagaamukumbuha?
19 when I broke [only] five loaves [and fed] the 5.000 people [RHQ]? [Not only was everyone satisfied, but there was food left over] How many baskets full of pieces of bread [that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “We collected twelve baskets full.”
Pihagabhaya amabumunda gasanu wa bhantu elufu zisanu, mwahejile ivitundu vhilyinga ivhavimemile amabumunda?” Bhahajibula “ilongo navhele.”
20 Then he asked, “When I broke the seven loaves in order to [feed] the 4,000 people, [again when everyone had plenty to eat], how many large baskets [of pieces of bread that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “[We collected] seven [large baskets full].”
Pahagabhanya amabumunda saba huelufu ine, muhega ivitundu vhilinga?”
21 Then he kept saying to them, “([I am disappointed that] you do not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]!/Why do you not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]?)” [RHQ]
Bhahayanga, “Saba.” Ahabhabhula, “Bado haga muwelewa?”
22 They arrived [in the boat] at Bethsaida [town]. People brought to Jesus a blind man and earnestly requested that Jesus touch him [in order to heal him].
Bhajiza Bethsaida. Abhantu ibho bhahuleta wa Yesu umuntu uwafyile amaso bhahalamba uYesu akhate.
23 Jesus took the hand of the blind man, led him outside the town, he put his saliva on the man’s eyes, he put his hands on the man, and then he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
U Yesu ahukhata nukhano ola uwafyile amaso nahulongole huzi ishijiji ahaswa amante pamwanya yimaso nagolosye amakhono pamwanya yakwe, ahabhuzwa, “Uhalola hahunte?”
24 The man looked up and then he said, “[Yes], I see people! They are walking around, but I cannot see them [clearly]. They look like trees!”
Ahenyizywe humwanya nayanje, “Imbalola abhantu bhabhoneha nishi amapishi gajenda.”
25 Then Jesus again touched the eyes of the blind man. The man looked intently and at that moment he was completely healed! He could see everything clearly.
Ipo ahagolosya amakono gakwe pa mwanay iyimaso gakwe, umuntu ola gafunguha amaso gakwe, ahalola nanhele, ahalola shilahandu shishiza.
26 Jesus said to him, “Do not go into the town! [First go straight home and tell the people there about what I did]!” Then he sent the man to his home.
U Yesu ahaleha ashila akhaya yakwe nahabhula, “Unganje aeinjile hujini.”
27 Jesus and the disciples [left Bethsaida town and went to the villages near Caesarea Philippi town]. On the way he questioned them, “Who do people say that I [really] am?”
U Yesu ashila nasundwa bhakwe huvijiji ivha Kaiseria ya Filipi. Bhali mwidala abhabhuzwa asundwa, “Abhantu bhayiga ni nanu?”
28 They replied, “[Some people say] that you are John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say [that you are the prophet] Elijah [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. And others say that you are one of the [other former] prophets [who has come back to life again].”
Bhahajibula bhahayanag, “Yohana uwabhozwa. Bhamo bhayanga, 'Eliya' na bhamo, 'Muntu umo Nakuwa.”
29 He asked them, “What about you? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied to him, “[We believe that] you are the Messiah!”
Ahabhabhuzwa, “Lelo amwe muiga ane ninanu?” Petulo ahabhula, “Awe wi Kristi.”
30 Then Jesus warned them strongly that they should not tell anyone [yet that he was the Messiah].
U Yesu abhula bhanje hibhule umuntu yayunti uwahusu umwene.
31 Then Jesus began to teach them, “[Even though] I am the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws reject me}, and that I be killed {they kill me}. But on the third day [after I am killed I] will become alive again.”
Ahanda abhamanyinzye huje umwene Mwana wa Adamu lazima alavhe humambo aminji, ayikanwa nalongozi na achungaji agosi nasimbi, na gagwe bada yinsiku zitatu aizyuuha.
32 He said this to them clearly. But Peter took Jesus aside and then, [because he assumed that the Messiah would never die], he started to rebuke Jesus [for talking about dying].
Aliyanjile iga apazelu. Epo uPetulo ahamwega paka pashinje anda hudamile.
33 Jesus turned around and looked at his disciples. Then he rebuked Peter, saying, “Stop thinking like that! Satan [is causing you to talk like that! Instead] of wanting what God wants [me to do, you are wanting] me to do [only] what [most] people [would want me to do].”
Lelo uYesu agaluhana na bhenye asundwa bhakwe na ahadamila uPetulo nayanje, “Sahinzanya huhosi yane Setano! Haga usaga amambo aga Ngulubhi, ila amambo agabhantu.”
34 Then he summoned the crowd along with his disciples [so that they might listen to him]. He told them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want to do. Specifically, you must [be willing to allow people to hurt you and to disgrace you. That is what they do to criminals] who are forced to carry crosses [MET] [to the places where they will be crucified]. That is what anyone who wants to be my disciple must do.
Ipo ahakuga ibuga nabhasundwa abhakwe palishimo, nabhabhule, “Kama huli umuntu uya wanza afwuate awikhane nyuyo, ayegaje ishikhovhehanyo shakwe na afhunte.
35 [You must do that], because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] and [because of telling others my] good message will live [forever with me].
Wahuje wabhunti uya wanza awokole amaisha gakwe aigatenzwa nauyantezywa amaisha gakwe kwa ajili ya lini na kwa ajili izyo ayokola.
36 People might get everything [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples!]/what will they gain if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples]?) [RHQ]
Aipata yenu umuntu khapate inzhi yunthi wa pante ihasala akahle wakwe?
37 ([Think carefully about the fact that] there is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life!/Is there anything that a person can give [to God] in order to gain eternal life?) [RHQ]
Umuntu agawezya afumwe yenu badala yaifumwe ubhumi wakwe?
38 And think about this: Those who refuse [to say that they belong to] me and who reject what I say in these days when many people have turned away [from God] and are very sinful, I, the one who came from heaven, will also refuse [to say that they belong to me] when I come back with the holy angels and have the glorious brightness that my Father has!”
Uwaindolela inshoni ninogwa zywani ishizazi ishinishi zazi ishabhivhivhi, Umwana wa Adamu ayilolela inshoni paiyinza nubhutawala uwa dada wakwe palishimo naa wandumi azelu.
