Mark 6 (BKW) · Opened

1Yezu eezɛdus pɛ nyɛ nadi ɛ, nyɛ eezɛtɔ́ sama wat bɛ nɛ bɛdjekel bɛ pɛ Nazalɛt ghaada nyɛ nawyee kɔ tak ɛ.Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples.

2Dwoo saba, nyɛ nadi elyo bot tɔ ndjaa mendjaala mɛ eYuda. Zukamwaa nɛ mot nadi tin ɔ naadyeebadjoka ɛbuɛpe. Bɔɔ ekeke náá: «Yak ɛ́ yaa kwaambi ɛlyo ɛ bot? Ɛzɛ djɛ nyɛ mbi yak etsoŋ nɛ endem e mɛbwala mɛ nyɛ di nɛ yɛ'aak?When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished. “Where did this man get these ideas?” they asked. “What is this wisdom He has been given? And how can He perform such miracles?

3Ye tok nyɛy di salpande, mɔn Maali, mɔn nyɛɛg ɛ Zak bɛ nɛ Yozɛs, nɛ Yudɛ, zɛnɔɔ Simɔŋ é? Bɛkɛl tok wak mena nɛ bɛ nɔɔ?» Yenek djas naasa náá, nyɛ di tyee boo ɛbɛk dum nɛ nɔɔ.Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Aren’t His sisters here with us as well?” And they took offense at Him.

4Wɔ gwaa, Yezu zɛbɔɔza nɛ nɔɔ náá: «Ngoolel-mɛkpa ɛ Zɛɛb dyeebaduwalaa ɛ́, pɛ kyee sis, ààbɛ pɛ kɔ dɛl ɛ nyɛ nabyel kɔ tak ɛ, nɛghu tɔ ndjaŋ'ɛ nɛ tɔ bil'ɛ.»Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

5Tin, nyɛ nabɛ ɛ́ ààsa dhiiti ndem mɛbwala, bhii nyɛ nazokɛl bɛdhiiti membel mɛmbɔ da bɛ ɛ́ tsak ɛ.So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.

6Nyɛ nadi edjoka dáa bot ɛ dɛl ɛ lɛ nadi ààdum koŋ nɛ nɛ ɛ. Bhii tak, Yezu naazɛkɛ elyo bot mɛkpa ɛ Zɛɛb kɔ mɛl mɛ nadi é ngwoob dɛl ɛ lɛ ɛ.And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.

7Nyɛ eezɛdjóo bɛdjekel bɛ kam nɛ bɛbá, nyɛ eezɛkyeed bɛ bɛbá-bɛbá. Wɔ gwaa, nyɛ zɛdjɛ bɛ eghɛŋ kɔ embee esisim.Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.

8Nyɛ eezɛdjɛ bɛ tsi náá: «Sa mot àànɔɔ sonok wat, nyɛ neetɔ́ nɛ yɛ mɛdjoŋ. Bi zotɔ́ ɛ́, nɛ sek. Sa mot àànɔɔ mapa, àànɔɔ ɛkoo, àànɔɔ-nɔŋak meea tɔ mengwyɛ men.He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—

9Bɔtka bɛmɛpapa. Sa mot àànɔɔ dhiiti kuwa étɛp ɛkɛswoola penek.»and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.

10Nyɛ eebaazɛke nɛ nɔɔ náá: «Bi ɛ́ kum dhiiti di ɔɔ, dika tɔ ndjaa bi aasulal ɛ. Dika é di'enek kɛkum dwoo bi aadus tin ɛ.And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.

11Bot ɛ dɛl ɛpɛɛ náá, bi nàsulal pɛ daa lɔɔ ɔ, nɛghu bɛ kapɛɛ ɛgwak bin ɔ, kpaaka yebɔ, da bi ɛ́ kut bɛ piib di é mɛko min ɛ. Yɛ aadi ɛ́, tyee mwana étɛp embee esesɛɛ bɔɔ.»If anyone will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that place, as a testimony against them.”

12Bɛdjekel eezɛtɔ́, kɛgoola nɛ bot djas náá, bɛ liig elyem.So they set out and preached that the people should repent.

13Bɔɔ zokasɔ bɛtɛ nɛ embee esisim. Bɛtɛ nɛ membel naatsak, bhii bɛ nadi elɔɔb bɛ mul ɛ.They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.

14Ghuna ye nabɛ ɛ́, Mɛkoozi Elood naagwak menduk ɛ Yezu etɛɛ náá, dék'ɛ nabɛ ɛ́, yɛ eezedjala mɛl djas. Bɛdhiiti bot nadi ekeke ɛ́ náá: «Zaŋ Nduuel-bot naagwyɛ, gom. Étɛp tak ɛ́ nyɛ di esa bɛtɛ nɛ yenek endem e mɛbwala.»Now King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known, and people were saying, “John the Baptist has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

15Bak náá: «Ye ɛ́ ngoolel-mɛkpa ɛ Zɛɛb, Eli!» Yak kyee bot náá: «Ye ɛ́ ngoolel-mɛkpa ɛ Zɛɛb, dáa dhiiti ngoolel-mɛkpa ɛ Zɛɛb na mwa!»Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

16Dáa Elood nagwak sa bot nadi elii-lii kɔ ɛsu ɛ Yezu ɛ, nyɛ ɛ́ boozɛke náá: «Yɛ bɛ Zaŋ ɔɔ, ye nabɛ ɛ́, mɛ naazelwom náá, nyɛ tsakaa, nyɛy ɛ́ baagom!»But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”

17Nɛ tsɛɛtsɛ ye nabɛ ɛ́, Elood naalwom náá, bɛ mɛt Zaŋ kɔl nyɛ é membok kɔ ɛsu ɛ Helodhiaad, mwaa tel, Filip, nyɛ nadɛk ɔ.For Herod himself had ordered that John be arrested and bound and imprisoned, on account of his brother Philip’s wife Herodias, whom Herod had married.

18Etɛɛ náá, Zaŋ naake nɛ Elood náá: «Yɛ ààgoka náá, wɔ dɛk mwaa mɔn nyoog!»For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”

19Helodhiaad nadi ebhina Zaŋ ɛlyelɛpe. Nyɛ nadi esaa dáa nyɛ aasa étɛp nyɛ neego nyɛ. Tin, nyɛ nabɛ ɛ́, ààbela ghwyil ɛsa.So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable,

20Elood nadi ekaab Zaŋ, etɛɛ náá, nyɛ nadi egu náá, Zaŋ nadi ɛ́ mot edɛɛ nɛ epiki. Nyɛ nabɛ ààkwyɛl náá, nyɛ góaa. Nyɛ nadi ekwe-kwyɛl ɛgwak mɛlyo mɛ ɛbuɛpe, ye nakoozodi náá, mɛlyo mɛ tak naadyeebadhedheeg nyɛ mɛsel ɛbuɛpe.because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man. When he heard John’s words, he was greatly perplexed; yet he listened to him gladly.

21Tinaak, dwoo ɛbyoŋ ɛ Elood di eduwal dwoo ɛbyel ɛ lɛ ɛ, ye nabɛ nɛ Helodhiaad ɛ́ mbɛɛ ɛwala étɛp nyɛ neesa sa lyem'ɛ nadi ekwos ɛsa ɛ. Ye nabɛ ɛ́, Elood naadjóo bɛtɛ nɛ ekukuma di esa mɛsa bɛ nɛ nɔɔ ɔ, nɛ ekukuma e esodja bɛ, nɛ boo bɛtsoŋ ɛ bot ɛ kyee dik Ghalile, bɛ zɛdɛ pɛ daa lɛ.On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.

22Tin, ɛsyes ɛ Helodhiaad eezɛtuula kuku ɛbwak, tɔ koo ndjaa é di bot nadi edɛ ɔ. Bhii tak, nyɛ moo bɔl é mis ɛ Elood. Ye nabɛ ɛ́, Elood nɛ bɛdjoŋ bɛ naadyeebamyaala nɛ ko zɛŋ tak ɛbuɛpe. Tinaak, Mɛkoozi Elood ɛ́ boozɛke nɛ ɛsyes ɛ moma tak náá: «Waaba sa lyem'ɔ kwyɛl ɛ, mɛ waadjɛ wɔ.»When the daughter of Herodias came and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests, and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.”

23Nyɛ nake nɛ nɛ deenek ɛ, nɛ tsɛɛtsɛ nɛ lyem wat: «Mɛ eetuwal myoŋ nɛ mɛsoŋ mam! Sa wɔ waawaab ɛ, mɛ waadjɛ wɔ, ye nakoozodi pes ɛyoŋ ɛ lam.»And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”

24Ɛsyes ɛlenɔk eezɛwyis, kɛdji nyɛɛg: «Mɛ waab yé?» Wɔ gwaa, nyɛɛg zɛbɔɔza náá: «Waaba lo ɛ Zaŋ Nduuel-bot.»Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”

25Ɛsyes eezɛsik kaab pɛ daa Mɛkoozi Elood. Nyɛ eezɛke nɛ nɛ náá: «Mɛ kwyɛl ɛ́, wɔ djɛ mɛ nenak yak lo ɛ Zaŋ Nduuel-bot kɛla kɔ pɛt kongo na pyaaz!»At once the girl hurried back to the king with her request: “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.”

26Wɔ gwaa, ye sa Mɛkoozi Elood nyel «wɔyɔŋ» nɛ ghoŋ. Tin nyɛ nabɛ ɛ́ ààbɛ nɛ dáa nyɛ pɛɛ, etɛɛ náá, nyɛ naazetuwal myoŋ nɛ mɛsoŋ mɛ é mis mɛ bɛdjoŋ.The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.

27Tin, nyɛ eezɛlwom sodja di ebaal nyɛ ɔ, nyɛ tsaal lo ɛ Zaŋ Nduuel-bot, da nyɛ ɛ́ zyɛ nɛ yɛ. É di'enek, sodja ɛ́ boozɛtɔ́ pɛ ndjaa membok, kɛtsaal lo ɛ Zaŋ Nduuel-bot.So without delay, the king commanded that John’s head be brought in. He sent an executioner, who went and beheaded him in the prison.

28Wɔ gwaa, nyɛ zyɛ nɛ lo tak kɔ pɛt kongo, nyɛ eezɛdjɛ ɛsyes ɛ moma yenɔk, ɛsyes ɛ tak ɛ́ boonɔɔ yɛ, kɛdjɛ nɛ nyɛɛg.The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.

29Dáa bɛdjekel ɛ Zaŋ nagwak deenek ɛ, bɛ ɛ́ boozɛnɔɔ muu'ɛ, kɛdel.When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.

30Bhis ɛbula ɛ lɔɔ, bot ɛ lwoma eezɛboma pɛ daa Yezu, bɛ moo baŋa nyɛ esesɛɛ ee bɛ nasa ɛ, nɛ mɛlyo mɛ bɛ nadi elyo ɛ djas.Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.

31Tinaak, bot ɛ nadi ezyɛ, nɛ bot ɛ nadi esik ɔ naadyeebabu, ààbɛ nɛ ɛwala di náá, bɛ nɛ bɛdjekel bɛ dɛ edee. Yezu ɛ́ boozɛke nɛ bɛdjekel bɛ náá: «Djhooka, mena tɔ́ka pɛ kasak di etseta nɛ bot ɛ, étɛp mena neekɛwalaka batsa.»And He said to them, “Come with Me privately to a solitary place, and let us rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

32Bɛ eezɛtɔ́ tɔ elɛɛd, bɔɔ bɛ ɛmet, pɛ bot di ààbɛ ɛ.So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.

33Ghuna bot ɛbuɛpe naabee ze bɛ nadi etɔ́ ɛ. Tin, pɛ bɛ nadi etɔ́ ɛ nadi eguaa, bhwak djas zɛsum kaab é ɛtɔ́ pɛ kyee Yezu nɛ bɛdjekel bɛ nadi etɔ́ ɛ, bɔɔ batakɛkum é di tak ɛsok nɛ Yezu bɛ nɛ bɛdjekel bɛ.But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.

34Dáa Yezu nasul tɔ elɛɛd ɛ, nyɛ naabee ɛdhuu ɛ bot binɔk, wɔ gwaa, ghoŋ zɛmɛt nyɛ ɛlyelɛpe, etɛɛ náá, bɛ nadi ɛ́, dáa mɛsaa mɛ ebhata di ààbɛ nɛ mbaalel ɛ. Tin, nyɛ moo zɛlyo bɛ kɔ ɛsu ɛ bɛtɛ nɛ esonok.When Jesus stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.

35Dáa bɛ nabee náá, dwoo moo ɛ́ bikoko ɛ, bɛdjekel bɛ ɛ́ boozɛtiila pɛ daa lɛ. Bɔɔ nɛ nɛ náá: «Dwoo eezeleega, tɔ kakoŋ'ak, ye tok nɛ dɛl.By now the hour was already late. So the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late.

36Swaala bot bak pɛ bɔɔ mɛl nɛ pɛ tɔ epɛt ee di é engwoob'aak, bɛ neekɛbɔm edee e dek!»Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

37Tin, wɔ gwaa Yezu zɛbɔɔza nɛ nɔɔ náá: «Djɛka bɛ edee biyɔ bɛ ɛmet!» Bhii tak bɛ eezɛdji nyɛ náá: «Bis tok nɛ bɛtɛ nɛ epata ee bis aabɔm emapa aadjala nɛ dek bot bak djas ɛ»But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked Him, “Should we go out and spend two hundred denarii to give all of them bread to eat?”

38Nyɛ ɛ́ boobaazɛbɔɔza nɛ nɔɔ náá: «Bi ɛ́ nɛ emapa edhen? Pookokɛgwyákeka.» Bhii bɛ kakɛgwyák ɛ, bɛ ɛ́ boozɛlɛɛ nyɛ náá: «Emapa etɛn nɛ bɛsu ɛbá.»“Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.”

39Tin, Yezu ɛ́ boozɛlɛɛ bɛdjekel bɛ náá, bɛ dil bot djas mendiindil, mɛbwak nɛ mɛbwak kɔ ebes eka.Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.

40Wɔ gwaa, bot zɛdisi zɛɛga lɔɔg bot dhet, bak mɛkam-mɛtɛn.So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

41Bhii tak, Yezu eezɛnɔɔ emapa nɛ bɛsu binek, nyɛ eezɛben mis pɛ ɛko, zɛghaapɛɛ Zɛɛb. Nyɛ eezɛpyak mapa, nɔɔ, djɛ bɛdjekel bɛ etɛɛ náá, bɛ needjɛ bot ɛ bɛ nanɛɛg mendiindil ɔ, dɔɔ nɛ bɛsu ɛbá bɛ nadi nɛ yɛ ɛ.Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke the loaves. Then He gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And He divided the two fish among them all.

42Mot nɛ mot naadɛ, djil.They all ate and were satisfied,

43Bɛdjekel bula nɛ mɛbhebhwak mɛ emapa nɛ bɛsu ɛ́ nalik ɛ, sa yɛ aalwoodal mɛbhwaa kam nɛ ebá.and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.

44Tɔ bot ɛ nadɛ emapa ee nabilel'enek ɔ, botom nadi ɛ́, bɛmil ɛtɛn (5 000).And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.

45Ààkobɔya bhii tak'enek, Yezu eezɛbesal bɛdjekel bɛ, bɛ ni tɔ elɛɛd, da bɛ ɛ́ tsaal, tɔ́ pɛ yii kyiid boo soob, pɛ kyee ghaada Bhɛtsaida. É di tak wat, nyɛy nyɛ ɛmet eezɛswaal zukamwaa nɛ bot binɔk, bɛ sik pɛ yɔbɔ.Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.

46Bhii nyɛ nasilal ɛswaal bɛ ɛ, nyɛ eezɛbyet kɔ ɛtsok, kɛdjaala Zɛɛb.After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray.

47Dáa ɛgwyitok nabɛ, ye moo gwyiidela ɛ, elɛɛd nabɛ ɛ́ ye moo kuku dii. Tin, Yezu nalik ɛ nyɛ ɛmet pɛ kyiid.When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land.

48Dáa nyɛ nabee náá, bɛdjekel bɛ nadi ezuk é ɛduk, etɛɛ náá, pup nadi bulal bɛ pɛ bhis ɛlyelɛpe ɛ. Tin, é pum dum nɛ mɛlem, nyɛ ɛ́ boozɛdu bɛ é kɛ kɔ dii nɛ mɛko, ye nabɛ ɛ́, nyɛ naawaadhaa bɛ.He could see that the disciples were straining to row, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea. He intended to pass by them,

49Dáa bɛ nabee nyɛ é kɛ kɔ dii ɛ, bɛdjekel nagu ɛ́ náá, ye ɛ́ dim. Bɛ moo tin é tsim.but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost—

50Etɛɛ náá, dáa bɔɔ djas nabee nyɛ ɛ́, bɛbebwol naamɛt bɛ. Batsa deenek, nyɛ moo lii nɛ nɔɔ. Nyɛy náá: «Dika nɛ mɛghaaz. Ye ɛ́ mam! Nàdika nɛ bwoo.»for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

51Bhii tak, nyɛ eezɛni tɔ elɛɛd. Tin, pup eezɛtyaala. Bɔ djas naadyeebadjoka ɛlyelɛpe.Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,

52Ye nabɛ ɛ́, bɔɔ àànyɔ ɛmɛt ɛsuk ɛ mɛvyɛkɛlɛ mɛ nasael dum nɛ ɛbil ɛ emapa ɛ. Etɛɛ náá, bɛ nadi ɛ́, nɛ elyem e mɛso.for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.

53Bhii bɛ nasɛɛ dii ɛ, bɛ eezɛsel é ɛboŋ ɛ Ghenezalɛt.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.

54Dáa bɛ nawyis tɔ elɛɛd ɛ, ààkobɔya deenek, bot eezɛgwyak Yezu.As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus

55Tin, bot eezɛtɔ́ kɔ mɛl djas, nɛ é di djas kɛnɔɔ membel. Bɛ nadidi ebe-bɛp bɛ ɛ́, kɔ emwaala, tɔ́ é di djas bot nagwak lɛŋ ɛkwyil ɛ lɛ ɔ.and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.

56É di djas bɛ nadi etɔ́ ɛ́, kɔ mɛl, kɔ eghaada nɛ epɛt, bɛ nadi ezyɛ nɛ membel é di bot djas di esɛɛga ɔ. Bɛ nadi edjedjaala nɛ nɛ náá, nyɛ bet bɛ, bɔɔ bɛ ɛmet zokee-keeak ɛlɔ ɛ ndjookuwa yɛ pɛ si. Tin, bot djas namɛt nyɛ ɔ, naatsak.And wherever He went—villages and towns and countrysides—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
