Malekha 6
1 Pwu akhahege ukhuluta khujini gwa miave, avakhongi va mwene vakhenkonga.
Leaving that place He came into His own country, accompanied by His disciples.
2 Vuyefihe e Sabato, akhatengula ukhumanyisya mu sinagogi. Avanu vingi vakhampulekhe nu khudega. Vakhata, “Akavile ndahu ulumanyisyo alo?” Luhala lukhi ulwapevilwe?” Ivomba ndekhehi aga khu monokhoga mwene?”
On the Sabbath He proceeded to teach in the synagogue; and many, as they heard Him, were astonished. "Where did he acquire all this?" they asked. "What is this wisdom that has been given to him? And what are these marvellous miracles which his hands perform?
3 Oyo si ve ola u Selemala, nswambe va Mariamu na lokhololwe lwa va Yakobo, Yose, Yuta nu Simioni? Na vakhenchavevitama pakhapa nufwe?” Yavakhovoswe nu Yiisu.
Is not this the carpenter, Mary's son, the brother of James and Joses, Jude and Simon? And do not his sisters live here among us?" So they turned angrily away.
4 U Yiisu akhavavola, “Unyamalagosi dwadiwa, apange mjini gwa mwene na valokhololwe ava mbunchenge vwa mwene.”
But Jesus said to them, "There is no Prophet without honour except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own home."
5 Pwu sakhavomba inchakhudeega apo, akhavavekhela ifivokho avatamu vadebe vakhepona.
And He could not do any miracle there, except that He laid His hands on a few who were out of health and cured them; and
6 Akhaswiga ulwa khuva savalekhwedekhe. Pwu akhavigendela ifijiji fya pawipi nu khumanyisya.
He wondered at their unbelief. So He went round the adjacent villages, teaching.
7 Akhavelanga avakongi kumi ne mbili akhatengula ukhuvasukha vavele vavele. Akhavapa ululagelo khu mepo imbivi,
Then summoning the Twelve to Him, He proceeded to send them out by twos, and gave them authority over the foul spirits.
8 Nu khuvalagela wasite ukhugega ekhe nu khyokhyoni vuvilula vagegage ingoma njene. Vasite ukhugega unkate, umpakho ni ndalama mufipakho;
He charged them to take nothing for the journey except a stick; no bread, no bag, and not a penny in their pockets,
9 Pwu vafyale ifikato, vasite ukhuva na magwanda gavele.
but to go wearing sandals. "And do not," He said, "put on an extra under garment.
10 Akhavavola, “Uvenjenge vwuwoni umuyakheva mukhwingela, mtamage apo mpakha vu mwikhega.
Wherever you enter a house, make it your home till you leave that place.
11 Nu njini gyogyoni gugwa sakhuhovupilela ama nkhuvapulekhencha, mukhegege khuvene, mwekhuhune ulundukhulu lwa mmalunde genyo, kheve kheme nyekhelo khuvene.”
But wherever they will not receive you or listen to you, when you leave shake off the very dust from under your feet to bear witness concerning them."
12 Na vene vakhaluta nu khulumbelela avanu ukhuuta nu ukhunchilekha imbivi incha vene.
So they set out, and preached in order that men might repent.
13 Vakhavaswema imepo imbivi nu khuvabakha imono avatamu vakhapona.
Many demons they expelled, and many invalids they anointed with oil and cured.
14 Untwa u Herode vuapolikhe ago, ulwa khuva elitawa lya Yiisu levile lemanyekhikhe. Avange vakhata, “Yohani unyalyoncho anchokhile, amakhe ni fikhwani fivomba imbombo mu mwene.”
King Herod heard of all this (for the name of Jesus had become widely known), and he kept saying, "John the Baptizer has come back to life, and that is why these miraculous Powers are working in him."
15 Avange vakhata, “Oyo ve Eliya, “Nu avange vakhata, “Oyo ve nyamalago, alepaninie na vanyamalago avakhetale.”
Others asserted that He was Elijah. Others again said, "He is a Prophet, like one of the great Prophets."
16 Pwu u Herode vu apulikhe aga akhata, “Yohani, yoywa nagedile untwe anchokhile.”
But when Herod heard of Him, he said, "The John, whom I beheaded, has come back to life."
17 Ulwa khuva Herode yoywa alagile u Yohani ibatwe nu khukungwa khwa Herodia (udala va mbakhave va Filipo) ulwa khuva umene antolile ukhuva idala.
For Herod himself had sent and had had John arrested and had kept him in prison in chains, for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her.
18 Ulwa khuva u Yohani ambolile u Herode, “Lu vivi ukhuntola udala va mbakhavo.”
For John had repeatedly told Herod, "You have no right to be living with your brother's wife."
19 Pwu u Herode akhatengula ukhukalalela alekhulonda ukhumbuda, akhalemwa,
Therefore Herodias hated him and wished to take his life, but could not;
20 U Herode alekhundwadwa u Yohani; alomanyile ukhuta va ye lweli munu mbalanche, pwu akhandekhe. Vwu ipikhompole khencha akhavanulususuvalo, akhahovoha ukhumpole hencha.
for Herod stood in awe of John, knowing him to be an upright and holy man, and he protected him. After listening to him he was in great perplexity, and yet he found a pleasure in listening.
21 Vwu gufikhe unsekhe vwu lekhegelile elinchuva lya khololiwa u Herode ahavandalela avakhongi va mwene, avasikhali, na valongonchi va Galileya.
At length Herodias found her opportunity. Herod on his birthday gave a banquet to the nobles of his court and to the tribunes and the principal people in Galilee,
22 Pwu umaleve va Herodia akhingela pakhonema, akhang'ovosya u Herode na vagenji avalepakhulya lyakhemihe pwu u herodeakhambula umwaleve, “Udove kyokyoni ikhevwunongwa une yanikhuhupa.”
at which Herodias's own daughter came in and danced, and so charmed Herod and his guests that he said to her, "Ask me for anything you please, and I will give it to you."
23 Akhadyega ukhuta, khyokyoni khekyo yavudova, yanikhuhupa, ndageve nusu ya indeva lwango.”
He even swore to her, "Whatever you ask me for I will give you, up to half my kingdom."
24 Akhahoma khunji akhavoncha khwa vanina, “Nedove ekhehi?” Akhata, “Untwe ugwa Yohani.”
She at once went out and said to her mother: "What shall I ask for?" "The head of John the Baptizer," she replied.
25 Unsekhe gugwa akhingila khwa nkuludeva akhatengula ukhunchova, “Ninogwa umemu sakhani, untwe gwa Yohani.”
The girl immediately came in, in haste, to the King and made her request. "My desire is," she said, "that you will give me, here and now, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist."
26 Unkuludeva akhasususvala, ulwakhuva aedyegile pavageni, akhalemwa nkhubelela ekheadovile.
Then the King, though intensely sorry, yet for the sake of his oaths, and of his guests, would not break faith with her.
27 Pwu unkuludeva akahasuha avasikhali va mwene akhavalagela ukhuluta ukhugegela umtwe gwa Yohani. Pwu usikhali akhalota khwigeda untwe mumbokongwa.
He at once sent a soldier of his guard with orders to bring John's head. So he went and beheaded him in the prison,
28 Akhagega untwe gwa Yohani mu sakhani akhampa umwana, umwana akhampa uvanina.
and brought his head on a dish and gave it to the young girl, who gave it to her mother.
29 Avakhongi va mwene vuvapulikhe ago, vakhaluta khuhogotola ufimba gwa mwene vakhaluta khusyila hulipumba.
When John's disciples heard of it, they came and took away his body and laid it in a tomb.
30 Avasukhiwa vakhalundamano popaninie khuvolongolo khwa Yiisu, vakhambula goni agavavombile nu khuvamanyisya.
When the Apostles had re-assembled round Jesus, they reported to Him all they had done and all they had taught.
31 Pwu akhavavola, “Mwinchange pavotitu tugatalukhe padebe.” Avanu vingi valekhwincha nu khuhega savakhava nu unsekhe ugwa khulavukha.
Then He said to them, "Come away, all of you, to a quiet place, and rest awhile." For there were many coming and going, so that they had no time even for meals.
32 Pwu vakhatoga mu mbwato vakhaluta pavutitu vakhava vene.
Accordingly they sailed away in the boat to a solitary place apart.
33 Vakhavavona vuvikhaga, vakhavamanya pupaninie vakhanyila ulwamalonde vakhavatalela ukhunchifikha.
But the people saw them going, and many knew them; and coming by land they ran together there from all the neighbouring towns, and arrived before them.
34 Vuvafikhe khu mbwani, akhavavona ava lulundamano akhavakolela ekhesa, ulwa khuva vale ndi ng'osi imbula ndoleli. Akhatengula ukhuvamanyisya imbombo inyingi.
So when Jesus landed, He saw a vast multitude; and His heart was moved with pity for them, because they were like sheep which have no shepherd, and He proceeded to teach them many things.
35 Emisekhe vugelulile, avakhongi vakhakonga vakhata, “Apa pale pavutitu nu usekhe gulutile.
By this time it was late; so His disciples came to Him, and said, "This is a lonely place, and the hour is now late:
36 Welage valute khunji ni vijiji vakhagule ekyakhulya.”
send them away that they may go to the farms and villages near here and buy themselves something to eat."
37 Pwu akhavanda akhata, “Muvape umwe ekyakhulya.” Vakhambola, “Tuwesye ukhuluta khwigula imikate igya dinari mia mbili nu khuvapa valye?”
"Give them food yourselves," He replied. "Are we," they asked, "to go and buy two hundred shillings' worth of bread and give them food?"
38 Akhavavola, “Mle nemikate gelengi? Luta mukhalole.” Vovapatile vakhambola, “Emikate gekhano ni somba ivele.”
"How many loaves have you?" He inquired; "go and see." So they found out, and said, "Five; and a couple of fish."
39 Akhavalagela avanu vatame mu fipuga mu manyasi amigu.
So He directed them to make all sit down in companies on the green grass.
40 Vakhavatamekha mu fipuga; mu fipuga fya mamia khu hamsini.
And they sat down in rows of hundreds and of fifties.
41 Pwu akhatola emikhate gekhano ni somba ivele, pwu akhalolakhukyanya akhagesaya, pwu akhavapa avakongi vavekhe mbulongolo pa lulundamano. Pwu akhagava isomba ivele khu vanu voni.
Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and lifting His eyes to Heaven He blessed the food. Then He broke the loaves into portions which He went on handing to the disciples to distribute; giving pieces also of the two fish to them all.
42 Vakhalya voni vakhakwila.
All ate and were fully satisfied.
43 Vakhalundania imikate emimenyule egesigile, vikhadega ifitondu kumi na mbili, ni somba inchi menyuliwe.
And they carried away broken portions enough to fill twelve baskets, besides pieces of the fish.
44 Vale avagosi elfu tano avalile emikate.
Those who ate the bread were 5,000 adult men.
45 Pwu akhavavola ukhuta vatoge mu mbwato valote khuvunge, vakhaluta khuabethsaida, vu ikhelaga nu vanya lulundamano.
Immediately afterwards He made His disciples go on board the boat and cross over to Bethsaida, leaving Him behind to dismiss the crowd.
46 avuvakhegile, akhaluta khukyomba khudova.
He then bade the people farewell, and went away up the hill to pray.
47 vuyevile lyakhemile, uwato vwu vulepagati mu nyanja, umwene ale mwene khumwambo.
When evening was come, the boat was half way across the Lake, while he Himself was on shore alone.
48 Akhavavova vovigatanchiwa mu mbwato ulwa khuva imepo nchilikhuvasiga, vuvulepakhwikya akhavalotela, alekhugenda nkyanya munyanja, akhonogwa ukhulutaniche.
But when He saw them distressed with rowing (for the wind was against them), towards morning He came towards them walking on the Lake, as if intending to pass them.
49 Pwu vuvambwene igenda nkyanya mu magasi, vakhava nuludwadwa vakhata pamo misyokha pwu vakhaywega.
They saw Him walking on the water, and thinking that it was a spirit they cried out;
50 Ulwa khuva vambwene vakhava nululundamano. Pwu akhanchova akhavavola, “Muve vakhangafu! Nene! Msite ukhudwada.”
for they all saw Him and were terrified. He, however, immediately spoke to them. "There is no danger," He said; "it is I; be not alarmed."
51 Akhingela mu mbwaro, imepo yekhelekhelwa unkhuluguto, pwu vakhadega lweli.
Then He went up to them on board the boat, and the wind lulled; and they were beside themselves with silent amazement.
52 Pwu vakhava saveliwe elimenyu lya mikate. Ulwa khuva inyala nchavene nchale ndebe.
For they had not learned the lesson taught by the loaves, but their minds were dull.
53 Vovalowikhe khumwambo, vakhafikha ekhelunga ekhya Genesareti pwu uwato vakhema.
Having crossed over they drew to land in Gennesaret and came to anchor.
54 Vovakhomile khunji khuwato, pwu vakhamanya.
But no sooner had they gone ashore than the people immediately recognized Him.
55 Vakhanyila khulumbelela mu khelunga vakhatengula ukhuvagega avatamu mu fisanja, khela vuvapulikhe ukhuta ikhwincha.
Then they scoured the whole district, and began to bring Him the sick on their mats wherever they heard He was.
56 Popone opoaingile mu vijiji, ana mijini, amamukhelunga vakhavavekha avatamu upovigonchekhecha, vakhadova edekhe ukhwibata eligwanda lya mwene. Voni vavo vamwibite vakhapona.
And enter wherever He might--village or town or hamlet--they laid their sick in the open places, and entreated Him to let them touch were it but the tassel of His robe; and all, whoever touched Him, were restored to health.
