uMarko 6
1 Hangi akahega pang'wanso nu kulongola mu kisali kao, ni amanyisiga akwe akamutyata.
Jesus left [Capernaum city and went to his hometown, Nazareth]. His disciples went with him.
2 Luhiku nula kusupya nai likapika. ai wandilye kumanyisa mu Itekeelo. Antu idu ai amigulye hangi akakuilwa. Akaligitya, Uligilye pii u umanyisa uwu?” Ingi upolo kii uwu nuinkiigwe?” Ukituma uli u ukuilwa uwu ku mikono akwe?”
(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]
3 “Itii uyu shanga yuyo u mulanda mabada, ng'wana wang'wa Mariamu hangi muluna nuao ia Yakobo, Yose, Yuda nu Simioni? Itii i aluna akwe nia kisugu shanga ikie papa paapa palung'wi nu sese?” Hangi shanga ikaloeligwa nu Yesu.
([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.
4 uYesu aka atambuila, “U munyakidagu shanga wiulyaa ikulyo, kwaala mu kisali nikakwe ni mukati a aluna akwe nia mi ito nilakwe.”
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!”
5 Shanga ai uhumile kituma u ukuilwa pang'wanso, iti ai uaikiiye mikono alwae asheenyu aka aguna.
[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.
6 Ai ukuiwe nangaluu ku nsoko a kuhita kuhuiila kitalao. Uugwa ai uigendee i ijiji nia kisali waze manyisa.
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].
7 Ai uitangile awo i amanyisigwa ikumi na abiili akandya kualagiilya abiili a biili. Ai uinkiiye uhumi migulya a ahing'wi
[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].
8 nu kualagiilya aleke kuhola kihi nialongoe kwaala mulanga udu. Aleke kuhola u mukate ang'wi mbogoshi, ang'wi mpia mu kilino;
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].
9 Kuiti atugale i latu, hangi shanga a mujulungu a biili.
10 Hangi aka atamuila, “Ito lihi ni mukingila, ikii papo kupikiila ni mikahega.
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.
11 Ni kisali kihi nishanga kikumusingiilya ang'wi kumutegeelya, hegi kitalao, kununti u lunkundi nula migulu anyu, itule ukuiili kitalao.”
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].”
12 Ni enso akalongola azetanantya antu ile itunu nu kuleka i milandu ao.
[So] after the disciples went out [to various towns], they were preaching that people should stop their sinful behavior.
13 Ai a anuzunsilye i ahing'wi idu, hangi ai apuguhie i makuta i alwae hangi akagunwa.
They were also expelling many evil spirits [from people], and they were anointing many sick people with [olive] oil and healing them.
14 uMutemi Herode nai wakija nanso, ku nsoko i lina nilang'wa Yesu ai latulaa lakumuka nangaluu. Ang'wi ai aligitilye, uYohana ni moganyi wiuka hangi ku nsoko nanso, iyi ngulu a ukuilwa ikituma u mulimo mukati akwe.”
[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!”
15 Ang'wi ao akaligitya, “Uyu ingi Eliya,” Ikili i auya akaligitya, “Uyu ingi munyakidagu, anga ung'wi nua awo anyakidagu nia kali.”
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].”
16 Kuiti uHerode nai wakija aya akaligitya, “uYohana, nai numudumue itwe wiukigwa.”
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]!”
17 Ndogoelyo uHerode mukola ai ulagiiye uYohana waambwe nu kutungwa mu kadulumu ku nsoko ang'wa Herodia (musungu nua muluna nuakwe uFilipo) ku nsoko nuanso ai watulaa wamutenaa.
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.
18 Ku ndogoelyo uYohana ai umutambuie uHerode, “Shanga tai ako kumutina u musungu nuang'wa heu nuako.”
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.
19 Kuiti uHerode ai wandilye kumubipilwa hangi ai watulaa uloilwe kumubulaga, kuiti shanga wikahuma,
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].
20 ndogoelyo u Herode aizaa umitumbile uYohana; ai ulingile kina ingi munya tai ane muntu ni ng'welu, hangi ai umulekile iziza. Hangi nai ulongolekile kumutegeelya akahusha nangaluu, kuiti ai wiloile kumutegeelya.
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.
21 Nai lipikile ga ni itungo niligombekile anga itule lahumbeela u luhiku nula kutugwa uHerode aka azipiililya i aopisa akwe isiku kuu, nia mboi, nia lukolongo nia ku Galilaya.
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].
22 Uugwa u munaano nuang'wa Herodia akingila kiginsa ntongeela ao, akamuloeelya uHerode ni aziila nai ikie itungo nila ndya nia mpindi. Uugwa u mutemi akamuila umu nanso, “Nompe kihi nukiloilwe nu nene nikaki nkiilya.'
[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!”
23 Akamulapila nu kuligitya, kihi nui kanompa, nika kinkiilya, ga ni ikinda nila utemi nuane.”
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]!”
24 Akapuma kunzi akamukolya u nyinya nuakwe, “Nompe ntuni?” Akaligitya, “Itwe lang'wa Yohana nuojaa.”
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!”
25 Ni itungo ling'wi akingila ku mutemi akandya kuligitya, “Ndoilwe uninkiilye mukati a sahani, itwe nilang'wa Yohana Nuojaa.”
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]!”
26 uMutemi akahusha nangaluu, kuiti ku nsoko a ilapo nilakwe hangi ku nsoko a aziila, shanga ai uhumile kumuhitilya ilompi nilakwe.
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].
27 Iti gwa, umutemi akalagiilya i a asikali pakati a asunja akwe nu kualagiilya kulongola kuleta itwe lang'wa Yohana. uMusunja ai ulongoe kumutema itwe waze ukoli mu kitungo.
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.
28 Akaleta itwe nilakwe mu sahani nu kuminkiilya u munanso, nu munanso akaminkiilya u nyinya nuakwe.
He [put it on] a platter, brought it back, and gave it to the girl. The girl took it to her mother.
29 Hangi i amanyisigwa akwe nai akija nanso, ai alongoe ku uhola u muili nuakwe akalongola ku uika mu kibiila.
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].
30 Ni itumi, ai ilundiie palung'wi ntongeela ang'wa Yesu, akamuganuila ihi nai itumile hangi nai amanyisilye.
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].
31 Nu ng'wenso aka atambuila, Pembyi akola i kianza nika kinkunku hangi kusupye ku itungo.” Antu idu ai atulaa akupembya nu kuhega, shanga ai aligilye ga nilyoma nila kulya.
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].
32 Iti gwa akanankila i mashua akalongola kianza nika kinkunku i ng'wene duu.
So they went away by themselves in a boat to a place where no people were living.
33 Kuiti ai uihengile ni akuhega hangi idu aka alinga, ku palung'wi ai amankile ku migulu kupuma mu isali yihi, ni enso akapika ze ikili ni anso.
[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].
34 Nai apilkile ku nkilimbwaa, ai wihengile i umbi ikulu hangi aka a aisiilya, ku nsoko ai atulaa anga i nkolo ni ngila anga mudimi. Hangi akandya kuamanyisa makani idu.
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.
35 Itungo ai lilongolekile nangaluu, amanyisigwa akamuziila akamutambuila, “Apa ingi kianza nika kinkunku ni itungo lalongolekaa.
Late [in the afternoon], the disciples came to him and said, “This is a place where no people live and it is very late.
36 Ualage alongole mu isali nia kisali ni ijiji iti ende iguilye indya.”
[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!”
37 Kuiti aka asukiilya akaligitya, “Api nyenye indya.” Aka atambuila, “Kuhumile kulongola nu kugula i mikate nikete i nsailo a dinari magana abiili nu kuinkiilya alye?”
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]
38 Aka atambuila, “Mukete mikate inga? Longoli mugoze.” nai aligilye akamutambuila, “Mikate itaano ni nsamaki ibiili.'
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!”
39 Aka alagiilya i antu ikie mu madale migulya a mafwa ni matotu. Aka ikalinsha mu madale; madale a magana ni ku makumi ataano.
He instructed [the disciples to tell] all the people to sit down on the green grass.
So the people sat in groups. There were 50 people in some groups and 100 people in other groups.
41 Uugwa akahola i mikate itaano ni nsamaki ibiili, nu kugoza kilunde, akamikendepa uugwa aka inkiilya i amanyisigwa aike ntongeela a iumbi. Hangi uugwa ai ugalanilye i nsamaki ibiili ku antu ihi.
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.
42 Ai alie ihi kupikiila akakondaniila.
Everyone ate [this food] until they all had enough to eat!
43 Ai ilingiie i mapuli a mikate nai isigile. Yikizula nkapu ikumi na ibiili, ga ni mapuli a nsamaki.
The disciples then collected twelve baskets full of pieces [of bread] and of the fish [that were left over].
44 Hangi ai atulaa agoha magana a nzogu ataano nai alie i mikate.
There were approximately 5,000 men who ate the bread [and fish. They did not even count the women and children].
45 Itungo aka atambuila anankile mu mashua alongole nkuka i ngiiza, kupikiila ku Bethsaida, itungo Nuanso waze alaga anyianza.
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.
46 Nai akatula akondyaa kuhega, akalongola mu lugulu kulompa.
After he said goodbye to the people, he went up into the hills in order to pray.
47 Nai ikatula mpindi, ni mashua ao itungo ni lanso ize ikoli pakati a luzi, nu ng'wenso ai ukoli wing'wene duu mihi ni nyumu.
When it was evening, the [disciples’] boat was in the middle of the lake and Jesus was by himself on the land.
48 Hangi ai uihengile akagisha kukua i makasia ku nsoko a ng'wega ukuagilya. nai ihumbee i kidaudau aka alondoola, wazegenda migulya a mazi, hangi ai uloilwe kuakila.
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.
49 Kuiti nai akamihenga ukugenda migulya a mazi, akingiilwa nu mitumbo aze asigile ingi mintunga akakua ga ni ogo.
They saw him walking on the water, but they thought that he was a ghost. They screamed
50 Ku nsoko ai amihengile akizuilwa nu woa, Itungo akaligita ni enso aka atambuila, “Mutule akamatiku ingi nene! Leki kutuli nu woa.
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!”
51 Akingila mukati a mashua, nu g'wega ukaleka ku kunka, ni enso akakuilwa lukulu.
He got into the boat [and sat down] with them and the wind [immediately] blowing. They were completely amazed [about what he had done].
52 Iti gwa shanga ikatula alingaa i ndogoelyo a iyo i mikate. Ndogoelyo i mahala ao ai akete ulingi uniino.
[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.
53 Ni enso kaputa kitumbi, akapika mihi a Genesareti imashua ikaika i nanga.
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.
54 Nai akapuma kunzi a mashua, itungo akamulinga.
As soon as they got out of the boat, [the people there] recognized Jesus.
55 Akamanka kutanantya mu mukoa wihi hangi akandya kualeta i alwae ku ulili, kila nai igulye upembilye.
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.
56 Pihi nai wingie mu ijiji, ang'wi mu isali, ang'wi mi ihi, ai a aikile i alwae kianza ni kisoko, hangi akamusinja waagombye kutenia ukunzilo nua ng'wenda nuakwe. Hangi ihi nai amutenilye ai agunilwe
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.
