< Mark 6 >

1 On leaving that place, Jesus, followed by his disciples, went to his own part of the country.
Jesus el som liki acn sac ac folokla nu in acn sel, ac mwet tumal lutlut elos welul.
2 When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the Synagogue; and the people, as they listened, were deeply impressed. “Where did he get this?” they said, “and what is this wisdom that has been given him? and these miracles which he is doing?
Ke len Sabbath el mutawauk in luti in iwen lolngok. Mwet puspis muta we, ac ke elos lohng luti lal elos arulana lut ac asiyuki inmasrlolos, “Mwet se inge eis ma inge ya me? Lalmwetmet fuka itukyang nu sel inge? Fuka tuh el ku in oru ma sakirik inge?
3 Is not he the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? And are not his sisters, too, living here among us?” This proved a hindrance to their believing in him;
Ya tia mwet kamtu sac pa inge, wen natul Mary, ac ma lel James, Joseph, Judas ac Simon? Ya ma lohl elos tia muta yorosr inge?” Ouinge elos tiana lohang nu sel.
4 on which Jesus said: “A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and among his own relations, and in his own home.”
Ac Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Oasr akfulatyeyen sie mwet palu in acn nukewa sayen in facl sel sifacna, ac sin sou lal, ac mwet in lohm sel.”
5 And he could not work any miracle there, beyond placing his hands upon a few infirm persons, and curing them;
Ac el koflana oru kutena mwenmen we, sayen el filiya paol nu fin kutu mwet mas we ac akkeyalosla.
6 and he wondered at the want of faith shown by the people. Jesus went round the villages, one after another, teaching.
El arulana lut ke selulalfongi lun mwet uh. Na Jesus el som nu in siti srisrik in acn we ac luti mwet uh.
7 He called the Twelve to him, and began to send them out as his Messengers, two and two, and gave them authority over foul spirits.
El pangonma mwet tumal lutlut singoul luo ac supwalosla kais luo. El sang nu selos ku fin ngun fohkfok,
8 He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey — not even bread, or a bag, or pence in their purse;
ac el fahk nu selos, “Nimet us kutena ma ke fufahsryesr lowos sayen sikal lowos mukena — tia mwe mongo, tia mwe ap, ac tia pac us mani in pakit lowos an.
9 but they were to wear sandals, and not to put on a second coat.
Kowos in faluk, a kowos in tia nukum nuknuk luo.”
10 “Whenever you go to stay at a house,” he said, “remain there till you leave that place;
El oayapa fahk nu selos, “Kutena acn ma paingyuk kowos we, kowos ilyak nu in lohm sacn ac mutana we nwe ke pacl se kowos ac som liki acn sac.
11 and if a place does not welcome you, or listen to you, as you go out of it shake off the dust that is on the soles of your feet, as a protest against them.”
Kowos fin tuku nu in sie siti srisrik ac mwet we uh tia paing kowos ku porongekowos, fahla liki acn sacn, ac osrokla kutkut in niowos tuh in mwe loh lainulos!”
12 So they set out, and proclaimed the need of repentance.
Ouinge elos fahsrelik ac luti tuh mwet uh in forla liki ma koluk lalos.
13 They drove out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were infirm, and cured them.
Ac elos sisla demon puspis, ac mosrwela mwet mas puspis ke oil in olive ac akkeyalosla.
14 Now King Herod heard of Jesus; for his name had become well known. People were saying — “John the Baptizer must have risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are active in him.”
Ac Tokosra Herod el lohng ke ma inge nukewa, ke sripen pweng kacl Jesus fahsrelik nu yen nukewa. Kutu mwet uh fahk mu, “John Baptais el sifil moulyak liki misa, pa pwanang oasr ku lal in oru ma usrnguk inge uh.”
15 Others again said — “He is Elijah,” and others — “He is a Prophet, like one of the great Prophets.”
A kutu mwet uh fahk mu, “El pa Elijah.” Ac kutu pac fahk mu, “El sie mwet palu, oana mwet palu in pacl oemeet ah.”
16 But when Herod heard of him, he said — “The man whom I beheaded — John — he must be risen!”
Ac ke Herod el lohng, el fahk, “El pa John Baptais! Nga pa sap in tahtla sifal, a el sifil moulyak liki misa!”
17 For Herod himself had sent and arrested John, and put him in prison, in chains, to please Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because Herod had married her.
Herod pa tuh sap elos in sruokilya John ac kaprilya ac fililya in presin. El tuh oru ouinge ke sripal Herodias, su ma kial Philip, mwet lel, a Herod el eisal tuh elan mutan kial.
18 For John had said to Herod — “You have no right to be living with your brother’s wife.”
John el tuh kalwenina in fahk nu sel Herod, “Tia fal kom in payuk sin mutan kien ma lim!”
19 So Herodias was incensed against John, and wanted to put him to death, but was unable to do so,
Ke sripa se inge Herodias el toasr sel John, ac el kena unilya, tuh el koflana ke sripal Herod.
20 because Herod stood in fear of John, knowing him to be an upright and holy man, and protected him. He had listened to John, but still remained much perplexed, and yet he found pleasure in listening to him.
Herod el tuh sangeng sel John mweyen el etu lah John el sie mwet suwoswos ac mutal, oru el liyalangna in tia oasr ma sikyak nu sel. El lungsena in lohng kas lal uh, finne ma el fahk uh mwe fosrnga nu sel.
21 A suitable opportunity, however, occurred when Herod, on his birthday, gave a dinner to his high officials, and his generals, and the foremost men in Galilee.
Tusruktu, Herodias el konauk pacl wo se lal ke len lal Herod, ke Herod el oru sie kufwa lulap nu sin mwet pwapa fulat lal, captain lun un mwet mweun lal, ac mwet kacto lun Galilee.
22 And when his daughter — that is, the daughter of Herodias — came in and danced, she delighted Herod and those who were dining with him. “Ask me for whatever you like,” the King said to the girl, “and I will give it to you”;
Ke acn natul Herodias el tuku ac onsrosro, el akinsewowoyal Herod ac elos su welul muta ke kufwa uh. Ouinge tokosra el fahk nu sin tulik mutan sac, “Fahk nu sik kutena ma kom lungse, ac nga fah sot nu sum.”
23 and he swore to her that he would give her whatever she asked him — up to half his kingdom.
Ac Herod el sifilpa fulahk nu sel ac fahk, “Nga ac sot nu sum kutena ma kom siyuk sik, finne tafu tokosrai luk uh.”
24 The girl went out, and said to her mother “What must I ask for?” “The head of John the Baptizer,’ answered her mother.
Na tulik mutan sac illa ac siyuk sin nina kial, “Mea nga ac siyuk kac uh?” Nina sac topuk, “Siyuk ke sifal John Baptais.”
25 So she went in as quickly as possible to the King, and made her request. “I want you,” she said, “to give me at once, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist.”
Tulik mutan sac el sulaklak na folokla nu yorol tokosra ac fahk, “Nga ke kom in use sifal John Baptais ingena, in oan in sie ahlu!”
26 The King was much distressed; yet, on account of his oath and of the guests at his table, he did not like to refuse her.
Tokosra el arulana toasrla kac, tuh el kofla folokunla ma el fulahk kac tari ye mutalos nukewa su welul.
27 He immediately dispatched one of his bodyguard, with orders to bring John’s head. The man went and beheaded John in the prison,
Ouinge el sa na supwala sie sin mwet mweun lal ke sap ku tuh elan som ac use sifal John, na mwet mweun sac som nu in presin ac pakela sifal John,
28 and, bringing his head on a dish, gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
ac el use sifa sac oan ke sie ahlu, ac sang nu sin tulik mutan sac, na tulik mutan sac usla sang nu sin nina kial.
29 When John’s disciples heard of it, they came and took his body away, and laid it in a tomb.
Ke mwet tumal lutlut lal John elos lohngak, elos tuku eis manol ac pikinya.
30 When the Apostles came back to Jesus, they told him all that they had done and all that they had taught.
Ac mwet sap elos folokeni ac osun nu sin Jesus, ac fahkak ke ma nukewa elos orala ac ma nukewa elos luti.
31 “Come by yourselves privately to some lonely spot,” he said, “and rest for a while” — for there were so many people coming and going that they had not time even to eat.
Arulana pusla mwet foroht forma nu yorolos, oru wangin pacl lal Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut in mongoi. Na el fahk, “Kut som nu ke sie acn ma kut ku in mukena we, tuh kowos in ku in mongla kutu.”
32 So they set off privately in their boat for a lonely spot.
Na elos sroang nu ke soko oak ac kalla nu ke sie acn ma elos ac muku we.
33 And many people saw them going, and recognised them, and from all the towns they flocked together to the place on foot, and got there before them.
Tusruktu mwet puspis liyalos ke elos som, ac elos etu lah su elos uh. Na elos kasrusr liki siti srisrik nukewa ac sun acn ma elos ac oai we meet lukelos.
34 On getting out of the boat, Jesus saw a great crowd, and his heart was moved at the sight of them, because they were ‘like sheep without a shepherd’; and he began to teach them many things.
Ke Jesus el srola liki oak ah, el liye un mwet puspis ac el pakomutalos, ke sripen elos oana sheep su wangin mwet shepherd lalos. Ouinge el mutawauk in luti ma puspis nu selos.
35 When it grew late, his disciples came up to him, and said: “This is a lonely spot, and it is already late.
Ac ke ekela, mwet tumal lutlut elos tuku nu yorol ac fahk, “Ac fongeni, a acn se inge acn mwesis.
36 Send the people away, so that they may go to the farms and villages around and buy themselves something to eat.”
Supwalik mwet uh in som nu in siti srisrik ac acn ma apkuran, elos in sifacna moli mongo nalos.”
37 But Jesus answered: “It is for you to give them something to eat.” “Are we to go and buy twenty pounds’ worth of bread,” they asked, “to give them to eat?”
Jesus el topkolos ac fahk, “Komtal sifacna sang kutu mwe mongo nalos.” Elos topuk ac fahk, “Ya kom lungse kut in som sisla luofoko ipin silver ke bread in sang kitalos?”
38 “How many loaves have you?” he asked; “Go, and see.” When they had found out, they told him: “Five, and two fishes.”
Na Jesus el siyuk selos, “Lof ekasr oasr yuruwos? Fahla liye.” Ke elos oakla elos fahk nu sel, “Lof limekosr ac ik lukwa.”
39 Jesus directed them to make all the people take their seats on the green grass, in parties;
Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut elos in kitalik un mwet uh nu ke u, ac sap elos in muta fin mah folfol uh.
40 and they sat down in groups — in hundreds, and in fifties.
Ouinge mwet uh takla muta in u, kais siofok ac kais lumngaul ke u se.
41 Taking the five loaves and the two fishes, Jesus looked up to Heaven, and said the blessing; he broke the loaves into pieces, and gave them to his disciples for them to serve out to the people, and he divided the two fishes also among them all.
Na Jesus el eis lof limekosr ac ik lukwa, ac ngetak nu inkusrao ac sang kulo nu sin God. El kunsalik lof ah ac sang nu sin mwet tumal lutlut in kitalik nu sin mwet uh. El oayapa kitalik ik lukwa ah nu sin mwet nukewa.
42 Every one had sufficient to eat;
Mwet nukewa mongo ac kihpi.
43 and they picked up enough broken pieces to fill twelve baskets, as well as some of the fish.
Na toko, mwet tumal lutlut elos orani fotoh singoul luo ke luwen bread ac ik uh.
44 The men who ate the bread were five thousand in number.
Pisen mwet ma kitakat uh oasr mukul limekosr tausin.
45 Immediately afterwards Jesus made his disciples get into the boat, and cross over in advance, in the direction of Bethsaida, while he himself was dismissing the crowd.
In pacl sacna Jesus el sap mwet tumal lutlut in sroang nu fin oak uh ac som meet lukel nu Bethsaida, nu layeno in lulu uh, a el muta in supwalik mwet uh.
46 After he had taken leave of the people, he went away up the hill to pray.
Ke el wilkas nu sin mwet ah, na el som nu fineol uh in pre.
47 When evening fell, the boat was out in the middle of the Sea, and Jesus on the shore alone.
Na ke ekela, oak uh sun tari infulwen lulu, ac Jesus el mukena muta fin acn uh.
48 Seeing them labouring at the oars — for the wind was against them — about three hours after midnight Jesus came towards them, walking on the water, intending to join them.
Ac el liye lah elos liksreni kal ke sripen eng uh kisrungulos, ouinge inmasrlon ao tolu nu ke ao onkosr ke tafunfong tok, el fahsr fin kof uh ac tuku nu yorolos. El oru elan fahsr alukelosla,
49 But, when they saw him walking on the water, they thought it was a ghost, and cried out;
na elos liyelak ke el fahsr fin kof uh, ac elos wowoyak mweyen elos nunku mu inut se.
50 for all of them saw him, and were terrified. But Jesus at once spoke to them. “Courage!” he said, “it is I; do not be afraid!”
Elos nukewa arulana tuninfongla ke elos liyal. Na in pacl sacna Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Akkeye kowos! Nga pa inge. Nimet sangeng!”
51 Then he got into the boat with them, and the wind dropped. The disciples were utterly amazed,
Na el sroang nu yorolos nu fin oak uh, ac eng uh mihsi. Ac mwet tumal lutlut elos lut na pwaye,
52 for they had not understood about the loaves, their minds being slow to learn.
mweyen elos soenna etu kalmen mwenmen Jesus el tuh oru ke el kiteya tausin limekosr ah. Nunak lalos srakna fohs kac.
53 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret, and moored the boat.
Elos kal sasla in lulu sac ac oai Gennesaret, ac kawukkinya oak okoalos we.
54 But they had no sooner left her than the people, recognising Jesus,
Ac ke elos fahsr liki oak uh, mwet uh sa na in akilenulak Jesus.
55 hurried over the whole country-side, and began to carry about upon mats those who were ill, wherever they heard he was.
Ouinge elos kasrusr apneni acn sac nufon. Na acn nukewa ma elos lohng mu el oasr we elos ac use nu yorol mwet mas, oan fin kiaka kialos.
56 So wherever he went — to villages, or towns, or farms — they would lay their sick in the market-places, begging him to let them touch only the tassel of his cloak; and all who touched were made well.
Ac acn nukewa Jesus el som nu we — nu in siti srisrik, ku siti lulap, ku finne likin siti uh — mwet uh ac use mwet mas lalos nu ke nien tukeni lun mwet uh ac kwafe sel elan lela mwet mas uh in kahlyena sisken nuknuk lal. Ac elos nukewa su kahlye, elos kwela.
