< Mak 6 >

1 Ọ sitere nʼebe ahụ pụọ laghachi nʼobodo nke a mụrụ ya. Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sooro ya gaa.
And Jesus departed from there and came to his own city, and his disciples attended him.
2 Nʼụbọchị izuike, ọ banyere nʼụlọ ekpere bido izi ihe. Ozizi ya juru ọtụtụ ndị gere ya ntị anya. Ha kwuru sị, “Ebee ka nwoke si mụta ihe ndị a niile? Gịnịkwa bụ amamihe nke a e nyere ya? Lekwa ọrụ ebube nke a ọ rụrụ?
And when the sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many who heard him were astonished, and said: Whence hath he obtained these things? And, what wisdom is this, which is given to him! and that such mighty works are done by his hands!
3 Onye a ọ bụghị onye kapinta ahụ? Ọ bụghị nwa Meri, bụrụkwa nwanne Jemis, Josef, Judas na Saimọn? Ụmụnne ya ndị inyom ha esoghị anyị nọrọ nʼebe a?” Iwe were ha nʼebe ọ nọ.
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James and of Joses and of Judas and of Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they were stumbled in him.
4 Ma Jisọs zara ha sị, “Onye amụma adịghị enwe nsọpụrụ ọbụla nʼobodo a mụrụ ya, na nʼetiti ndị ikwu ya na nʼezinaụlọ o siri pụta.”
And Jesus said to them: There is no prophet who is little, except in his own city, and among his kindred, and at home.
5 Ọ rụghị ọrụ ebube ọbụla nʼebe ahụ. Ihe o mere bụ naanị ibikwasị mmadụ ole na ole ahụ na-esighị ike aka nʼisi gwọọ ha.
And he could not there do even one mighty work, except that he laid his hand on a few sick, and healed them.
6 Enweghị okwukwe ha juru ya anya. O jegharịkwara nʼobodo nta niile gburugburu na-ezi ihe.
And he wondered at the defect of their faith. And he travelled about the villages and taught.
7 Ọ kpọrọ mmadụ iri na abụọ ahụ na-eso ya, nye ha ikike zipụ ha, abụọ abụọ. O nyere ha ikike ịchụpụ mmụọ na-adịghị ọcha.
And he called his twelve, and began to send them forth, two and two; and he gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out.
8 Ndị a bụ iwu o nyere: “Unu ewerekwala ihe ọbụla maka njem a, karịkwa mkpanaka. Unu ewela achịcha, maọbụ akpa, unu etinyela ego ọbụla nʼime belịt unu.
And he commanded them to take nothing for the journey, except a staff only; neither a wallet, nor bread, nor brass in their purses;
9 Yirinụ akpụkpọụkwụ unu, unu eyikwala karịa otu uwe.
but to be shod with sandals, and not put on two coats.
10 Mgbe ọbụla unu banyere nʼụlọ ọbụla, nọgidenụ nʼebe ahụ ruo mgbe unu hapụrụ obodo ahụ.
And he said to them: Into whatever house ye enter, there abide till ye leave the place.
11 Ma ọ bụrụ na obodo ọbụla anabataghị unu maọbụ egeghị unu ntị, kụchapụnụ aja dị nʼụkwụ unu mgbe unu na-apụ, ka ọ bụrụ ihe ama megide ha.”
And whoever will not receive you, nor hear you, when ye go out from that place shake off the dust that is under your feet, for a testimony to them. Verily I say to you, There will be comfort for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment rather than for that city.
12 Ha pụrụ kwusara ndị mmadụ ka ha chegharịa.
And they went out and proclaimed, that men should repent.
13 Ha chụpụrụ ọtụtụ mmụọ ọjọọ, teekwa ọtụtụ ndị ahụ na-esighị ike mmanụ, gwọọ ha.
And they cast out many demons, and many of the sick they anointed with oil, and healed them.
14 Eze Herọd nụrụ akụkọ banyere ya, nʼihi na aha Jisọs aghọọla okwu a kpụ nʼọnụ. Ụfọdụ na-asị, na ọ bụ “Jọn omee baptizim; na e meela ka o site na ndị nwụrụ anwụ bilie. Ọ bụkwa nke a mere ka ike ọrụ ebube ji dị nʼime ya.”
And Herod the king heard of Jesus, for his name had become known to him, and he said: John the Baptizer hath risen from the dead: and therefore it is, mighty deeds are done by him.
15 Ndị ọzọ na-asị, “Ọ bụ Ịlaịja.” Ma ndị ọzọkwa kwuru na ọ bụ onye amụma dị ka otu nʼime ndị amụma mgbe ochie.
Others said: He is Elijah: and others: He is a prophet, like one of the prophets.
16 Ma mgbe Herọd nụrụ nke a, ọ sịrị, “Jọn onye ahụ m bipụrụ isi, emeela ka ọ site nʼọnwụ bilie!”
But when Herod heard of him, he said: He is that John whose head I struck off: he is risen from the dead.
17 Nʼihi na Herọd nʼonwe ya nyererị iwu ka e jide Jọn kee ya agbụ tụba ya nʼụlọ mkpọrọ. O mere nke a nʼihi Herodịas bụrịị nwunye Filip nwanne ya, onye ọ kpọrọ dịka nwunye ya.
For Herod had sent and seized John and bound him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philips wife, whom he had taken.
18 Nʼihi na Jọn gwara Herọd sị, “Ọ bụghị ihe ziri ezi nʼiwu ka ị kpọrọ nwunye nwanne gị nwoke.”
For John had said to Herod: It is not lawful for thee to take thy brother's wife.
19 Nʼihi ya Herodịas bu iro nʼobi megide Jọn na-achọkwa ụzọ igbu ya, mana ọ pụghị ime nke a,
And Herodias herself was an enemy to him, and wished to kill him, but was not able.
20 nʼihi na Herọd na-atụ egwu ma na-echekwa Jọn, ebe ọ maara na ọ bụ onye ezi omume na onye dị nsọ. Mgbe ọ nụrụ okwu ya, o nweghị udo nʼobi ma ige ya ntị na-amasị ya.
For Herod was afraid of John, because he knew him to be a just and holy man: and he observed him, and gave ear to him in many things and did the things, and he heard him with satisfaction.
21 Nʼikpeazụ, ohere bịara mgbe Herọd kpọrọ oriri nʼụbọchị ncheta ọmụmụ ya nye ndị ọkwa ha dị elu nʼokpuru ọchịchị ya, ndịisi ndị ọchịagha na ndị bụ ndị ndu nʼobodo Galili.
And there was a noted day, when Herod made a supper, in the house of his nativity, for his nobles and the chiliarchs and the chiefs of Galilee.
22 Mgbe ada Herodịas bịara tee egwu, obi tọrọ Herọd na ndị niile ọ kpọrọ oriri ụtọ. Eze gwara nwaagbọghọ ahụ sị, “Rịọ m ihe ọbụla ị chọrọ aga m enyekwa gị ya.”
And the daughter of Herodias came in, and danced; and she pleased Herod and those reclining with him. And the king said to the maid: Ask of me what thou pleasest, and I will give it thee.
23 O kwere ya nkwa ṅụọkwa iyi sị, “Ihe ọbụla ị rịọrọ m aga m enye gị, ọ bụladị ọkara alaeze m.”
And he swore to her: Whatever thou shalt ask, I will give thee, even to the half of my kingdom.
24 Ọ jekwuru nne ya jụọ ya sị, “Gịnị ka m ga-arịọ?” Ọ zara ya sị, “Isi Jọn omee baptizim.”
And she went out, and said to her mother: What shall I ask of him? She said to her: The head of John the Baptizer.
25 Ngwangwa, ọ bịakwutere eze rịọ ya sị, “Achọrọ m ka i nye m, ugbu a, nʼime efere, isi Jọn omee baptizim.”
And she soon entered with eagerness to the king, and said: I desire that thou, this hour, give me in a dish the head of John the Baptizer.
26 O wutere eze nke ukwuu, ma nʼihi iyi ọ ṅụrụ, na nʼihi ndị ọ kpọrọ oriri, ọ chọghị ịjụ inye ya ihe ọ rịọrọ ya.
And it pained the king greatly; yet, on account of the oath, and on account of the guests, he would not deny her:
27 Ngwangwa o zipụrụ onye agha na-eche nche nye ya iwu ka ọ gaa bute isi Jọn. Ọ gara, bipụ isi Jọn nʼụlọ mkpọrọ,
and the king sent immediately an executioner, and commanded him to bring the head of John. And he went, and struck off the head of John in the prison;
28 tinye isi ahụ nʼime efere butere nwaagbọghọ ahụ onye nara ya bunye nne ya.
and brought it on a dish, and gave it to the maid; and the maid gave it to her mother.
29 Mgbe ndị na-eso ụzọ ya nụrụ nke a, ha bịara buru ozu ya gaa lie.
And his disciples heard of it; and they came and took up the corpse, and laid it in a Sepulchre.
30 Ndị ozi Jisọs gbara ya gburugburu kọọrọ ya ihe niile ha mere, na ihe niile ha kuziri.
And the legates assembled before Jesus, and told him all they had done, and all they had taught.
31 Nʼoge ahụ, nʼihi na ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ na-abịa na-apụkwa nke mere na ha enweghị ohere iri nri, ọ sịrị ha, “Soronụ m, unu niile, ka anyị ga ebe dị jụụ, zuo ike nwa oge nta.”
And he said to them: Come, let us go into a desert by ourselves, and rest a little. For there were many going and coming, and they had not opportunity even to eat bread.
32 Ya mere ha pụrụ baa nʼime ụgbọ mmiri gaa nʼebe ha ga-anọdụrụ naanị onwe ha.
And they went by ship to a desert place by themselves.
33 Ma ọtụtụ mmadụ ndị hụrụ ha mgbe ha na-apụ matara ha, sitekwara nʼobodo niile dị ebe ahụ gburugburu gbara ọsọ gbaruo ebe ahụ tupu ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya abịaruo.
But many saw them, as they departed, and knew them; and from all the cities, they ran thither by land before him.
34 Mgbe o sitere nʼụgbọ mmiri rịdata, ọ hụrụ oke igwe mmadụ a ka ha zukọrọ. O nwere ọmịiko nʼebe ha nọ, nʼihi na ha dị ka atụrụ na-enweghị onye na-azụ ha. Ọ malitekwara izi ha ọtụtụ ihe.
And Jesus disembarked and saw great multitudes: and he compassionated them, because they were like sheep having no shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.
35 Nʼoge a, ọchịchịrị ebidola ịgba, nʼihi ya, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya bịara gwa ya, “Ebe a bụ ọzara, chi ejiekwala.
And when the time was advanced, his disciples came to him, and said to him: This is a desert place, and the time is advanced.
36 Zilaga ndị a, ka ha gaa nʼobodo nta ndị dị gburugburu ebe a, zụtara onwe ha ihe ha ga-eri.”
Dismiss them, that they may go into the fields around us and into the villages, and may buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat.
37 Ma ọ zara sị ha, “Nyenụ ha ihe ha ga-eri.” Ha sịrị ya, “Anyị ga-eje ịzụta ogbe achịcha nke narị denarị abụọ, iji nye ha ka ha rie?”
And he said to them: Give ye them to eat. They say to him: Shall we go and buy bread of the value of two hundred denarii, and give them to eat?
38 Ma ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Ogbe achịcha ole ka unu nwere? Gaanụ chọpụta.” Mgbe ha chọpụtasịrị, ha sịrị, “Ogbe achịcha ise na azụ abụọ.”
And he said to them: Go, see how many loaves ye have here. And when they had seen, they say to him: Five loaves and two fishes.
39 Mgbe ahụ o nyere ha iwu ka ha mee igwe mmadụ ahụ ka ha nọdụ ala nʼotu nʼotu nʼelu ahịhịa ndụ.
And he bid them make the people recline on the grass by companies.
40 Ya mere, ha nọdụrụ ala, iri mmadụ ise nʼotu ebe, narị mmadụ nʼebe ọzọ.
And they reclined, by companies of a hundred, and of fifty.
41 Ọ naara ogbe achịcha ise na azụ abụọ ndị ahụ, welie anya ya elu, nye ekele. Ọ nyawara achịcha ahụ nye ya ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ka ha kee ndị mmadụ ahụ. Otu aka ahụkwa ọ nyawakwara azụ abụọ ahụ nyekwa ha niile.
And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looked towards heaven, and blessed and brake the bread, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and they divided also the two fishes among them all.
42 Ha niile riri rijuo afọ.
And they all ate, and were satisfied.
43 Ha tụtụkọtara iberibe achịcha na azụ tụtụjuo nkata iri na abụọ.
And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments and of the fishes.
44 Ọnụọgụgụ ndị nwoke riri ogbe achịcha ahụ dị puku mmadụ ise.
And they who had eaten bread were five thousand men.
45 Ngwangwa, o mere ka ndị na-eso ụzọ ya banye nʼụgbọ mmiri buru ya ụzọ gafee nʼofe nke ọzọ nke osimiri Betsaida, ebe ya onwe ya nọdụrụ izilaga igwe mmadụ ahụ.
And he immediately constrained his disciples to take ship, and go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the multitudes.
46 Mgbe ndị a niile lachara, ọ rigooro nʼelu ugwu ikpe ekpere.
And when he had dismissed them, he went to a mountain to pray.
47 Mgbe uhuruchi bịara, ụgbọ mmiri ahụ nọ nʼetiti osimiri, ma naanị ya onwe ya nọ nʼelu ala.
And when evening came, the ship was in the middle of the sea, and he alone on the land.
48 Mgbe ọ hụrụ na ha nọ na nsogbu nʼihi na ikuku na-emegide ha, nʼihe dị ka elekere atọ nke ụtụtụ, o bidoro ịga ije nʼelu mmiri ịbịakwute ha, ma o mere dị ka ọ chọrọ ịgafe ha.
And he saw them straining themselves in rowing; for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them walking on the waters; and he was disposed to pass by them.
49 Ma mgbe ha hụrụ ya ka ọ na-aga ije nʼelu osimiri, ha chere na ọ bụ mmụọ, tie mkpu akwa.
And they saw him walking on the waters, and they supposed that the appearance was a spectre: and they cried out.
50 Nʼihi na ha niile hụrụ ya, oke ụjọ tụkwara ha. Na-atụfughị oge, ọ gwara ha sị, “Nweenụ obi ike! Ọ bụ m. Unu atụla egwu.”
For they all saw him, and were afraid. And immediately he spoke with them, and said to them: Take courage; it is I; fear not.
51 Emesịa, ọ rịgokwuru ha nʼime ụgbọ mmiri ahụ, otu mgbe ahụ ikuku ahụ dara juu. Ihe ndị a jukwara ha anya nke ukwuu.
And he entered into the ship to them; and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed, and astonished among themselves.
52 Obi ha mechiri emechi nʼihi na ha aghọtaghị ihe banyere ọrụ ebube ogbe achịcha ndị ahụ.
For they did not learn by the bread; because their heart was stupid.
53 Mgbe ha gafere nʼofe nke ọzọ, ha rutere nʼala Genesaret ebe ha kedoro ụgbọ ha.
And when they had passed to the other shore, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
54 Ma ngwangwa ha pụtara nʼụgbọ, ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ matara onye ọ bụ.
And when they went out of the ship, immediately the men of the place knew him.
55 Ha gbaara ọsọ gaa nʼobodo nta niile dị ebe ahụ gburugburu butere ya ndị ọrịa nʼute ebe ọbụla ha nụrụ na ọ nọ.
And they ran through all that region, and began to bring forth them that were sick, bearing them on beds to where they heard he was.
56 Ebe ọbụla ọ bara, nʼobodo ukwu maọbụ na obodo nta, maọbụ nʼubi, ndị mmadụ na-ebute ndị ọrịa nibe ha nʼahịa. Ha rịọrọ ya ka o kwere ka ha metụ ọ bụladị ọnụnụ uwe ya aka; ndị niile metụrụ ya aka nwetara ọgwụgwọ.
And wherever he entered into villages or cities, the sick were laid in he streets: and they besought him, that they might touch but the extremity of his raiment. And all they that touched him, were healed.
