Mark 6 (EKA) · Opened

1Jisos kehm tahme edi jio, song rehng go ege ejahbe, a abatꞌtoono ebe.Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples.

2Efung Esabat á kehm song tib go ekpꞌkpa ero. Ane gbalee jolo o. Eji bo wuk-e no, kpo bo esi area. Bo kehm bahbe re, “Gan wo á bele nyaa? Á limi renan, kehm bele elkahne ana nia? Á kpo lim renan, kehm limi akpokosi nyaa!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 sang li ekapentaa, ji li mmon a Meria? Ye sang li mmonannyehn a Jems, Joses, Jud a Saimona? Abonanyehn ba nkal sang lene aa?” Ano wo wahnge bo kehm-e tene.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.

4Jisos kehm bungu tong bo re, “Nnyehnamahr Esowo, bo kpo kak-e edi ajehng ajehng, sehngem re nnahb enye, ejahbe eje, a etahk eje ji kil jo kak-e.”Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

5Á maam lim nkpokosi anyehng anyehng o, sehngem re abon amohk ane ntiil ba jo yam ba á kunu bo ebo, bo nob.So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.

6Jisos, kpo-e esi area, eji ejahbe eje ki taame. Á kehm kehme elyannge go abon ajahbe ba jolo sennge ona, kehme bo tib.And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.

7Jisos kehm lungu abatꞌtoono ebe, ewubu ane abal tv edi ajehng, kehm tumu bo ane abal abal. Á ka bo nsahm re bo kam ane abi atohko yehke.Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.

8Á bungu tong bo re, “Kana fili ejum ajehng ajehng, sehngem ntifilibo nyi nyi ḿ bahke fili. Kana fili nsol alehke! Kana fili abam! Kana kak akpohko go egahne abam!He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—

9Kaken akpaketa! Kana fili mbomo ebal ebal!”and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.

10Á kpe tong bo re, “Ń lꞌje, jolen a ane bao ba tong-n no re wahn kang go bo a ntahk. Kana yaange etahk jimongo tete ń tahm ejahbe jio.And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.

11Ń lꞌfere je ejahbe ji ane lꞌki-n vvrv, kꞌfere wuung-n atung, lohngen ejahbe jio o, wahn kum akpade. Jia bahke jolo ana elliingi ka bo.”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.”

12Bo kehm lohngo song bung alum Esowo re, ane gbo ndon go bo abiafem.So they set out and preached that the people should repent.

13Bo kame ane abi atohko yehke gbalee, fere jo taame aneb ayam akehng, bo jo nob.They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.

14Ntul a Herod kehm wuku bada nsol nyia kpee. Tibre elgahm ni Jisos ebyeere gbalee. Ane bandiki jo bungu re, “Jon ji nwohngalahb ebnyahme go elkv, fere jol go elkpin. Owo wahng ka nne noo kpi elkohn nsahm ana nyio, fere kpꞌlimi akpokosi.”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.”

15Ane bandiki jo fere bung re, “Elaija wo a.” Ane bandiki jo bungu re, “Nnyehnamahr wo, ana ajꞌjok anyehnamahr Esowo ba jolo go nkꞌkula ngare.”Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

16Herod wuku kan a me, á kehm bungu re, “Jon ji nwohngalahb wo, ye ji n kim-e esi. Yebkpe fere nyahme.”But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”

17Tibre nyanjehle Herod tꞌtum re bo bob Jon ba a ne, ba gba-e kak go ngbekobo. Herod limi jia tib go esi ji Herodias ji á taare Filip mmonannyehn.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.

18Jon ji nwohngalahb jo tongo Herod re, “Nobem re wo baange nkal a mmonanne.”For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”

19Herodias kehm kehme elmarre a Jon. Á bele erakatahng re á bahk-e wulu. Á malem.So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable,

20Tibre Herod jo fahle Jon, tib eji á jo kahn re, Jon jolo etingitingi nne Esowo. Herod jo sebe re á tahre elkpin ene. Jo kor-e re á jo wuungu atung go alum nya Jon, jol eji alum nyao jo gbiing-e gbiingi, fere ka-e atꞌtiiri go eltim.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.

21Efung elbuumu bi bo jele Herod, Herodias kehm bele eyake. Tibre Herod tiingi atul elkak, fere tiingi atubesi nsoja, a anebkul nfam ba Galili.On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.

22Mmon a Herodias no nkal kehm lohngo ba yel, kehm kehme ese bahn. Kehm yebe ntul a Herod atahng, a ane ebe. Á kehm bahbe mmonse noo re, “Jen ji a kpꞌsebe re me n ka-a! M bahk-a kake ajehng ajehng ji a sebe no.”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.”

23Herod kehm nyame, fere tꞌtir re, “Ajehng ajehng ji a lꞌbahb-m, m bahk-a kake, jol afi ejang afang ejame ji, m bahk-a kak.”And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”

24Mmon noo kehm soro lohng tahm, song bahb nnyehn re, “Jen ji m bahk-e bahbe?” Nnyehn kehm faange re, “Esi ji Jon ji nwohngalahb.”Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”

25Mmon noo kehm feere elwaare elwaare, ba goji ntul, ba tong-e re, “N kpꞌsebe re, wo ka-m esi ji Jon go ekpingi.”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.”

26Jia limi ntul, á kehme elguunu. Á kpeem ma ten, tib eji á ma tohko nyam ano, fere tir go esamahr ane kpee.The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.

27Á kehm soro tum nlokeltum ewe na awohng re á song kim Jon esi ba a ji.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.

28Nlokeltum noo kehm soro tahm, song rehng go ekpꞌkpa ngbekobo, song kim Jon esi, kak go ekpingi, ba ka mmon noo. Mmon noo kehm soro rod fvfo, song ka nnyehn.The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.

29Abatꞌtoono Jon wuku kan a me, bo kehm song rod ekv eje, song kpa kak go ndi.When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.

30Abatiingetib Jisos kehm feere ba kpir-e, ba kehm-e nsol tong nyi bo ma lim kpee, fere tꞌtib.Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.

31Etahk ji Jisos jolo no, ane bako jo yele na, egom jehko jo lohng. Jisos, a abatꞌtoono ebe belem ngare nyi nsol alehke. Á kehm bungu tong bo re, “Wahr tahmen go edi ji li soom. Go wo ḿ bahke ma re ekv.”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.

32Bo kehm yele go egbang tahm go edi ji li soom.So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.

33Ane gbalee nyehne bo eji bo tahme no, fere liingi bo. Owo ane kehm lohngo ajahbe nyao kpee, jo jen egbuk egbuk, gbo mbang song rehng edi jio, Bab Jisos kehm rehnge.But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.

34Jisos lohngo kan egbang, á kehm nyehne ellong ane gbalee. Ndon kehm-e fili. Tibre bo jolo ana ejoro bi ki kpi mbꞌbaabe. Á kehm kehme bo nsol tib gbalee.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.

35Eji atv yahke behde, abatꞌtoono ebe kehm bake, ba bung tong-e re, “Tahm edi jia ana rehng go ajahbe, ekidi kpꞌlabe, gana, atv yahke behde.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.

36Tum bo, bo song go abon ajahbe ba li a kpidi kpidi, song gunu nsol alehke.”Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

37Jisos kehm faange re, “Wahn kaan bo nsol alehke, bo li!” Bo kehm-e bahbe re, “A kpꞌsebe re, wahr song gunu nsol go mpon atahl alon, ba le boa?”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?”

38Jisos kehm bahbe bo re, “Ebred ebbik ń kpi no? Song kpuren!” Eji bo ma song kpur, bo kehm bake, ba tong-e re, “Ebred eblon, kunu abon nsahre abal.”“Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.”

39Jisos kehm tongo ane bao re, bo ji agꞌgabe agꞌgabe go ajele nya kpꞌna kohdo.Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.

40Bo kehm jehke. Nlong nyindiki jo jolo ane atahl alon alon. Nlong nyindiki jo jolo ane atahl abal ane awubu, ane atahl abal ane awubu.So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

41Jisos kehm rodo ebred eblon bio, a abon nsahre abal, seenge go elbung, kak Esowo saam, kehm bakke abred nyao, ka abatꞌtoono ebe re bo ko song bak bo. Fvfo, á kehm kpe bakke abon nsahre bao na abal, bo tob song bak bo kpee.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.

42Bo kpee li wohngo.They all ate and were satisfied,

43Abatꞌtoono ebe kehm taare erik abred nyao, a nsahre, kak ajeere, ruru ewubu ejeere ebbal.and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.

44Aneblum ba li abred nyao jolo ane atahltahl nkpel ewubbal ane atahl awubu (5,000). Anebkal, a abonse, bo fangem bo.And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.

45Tvtv o Jisos kehm soro tong abatꞌtoono ebe re, bo yel egbang, gbo-e mbang, song egbuk jehko ji Betsaida, yefono ji, jo yaame ane.Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.

46Eji á ma tong ellong ane bao re bo song kehnge, á kehm tahme go ewong re á song kak ero.After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray.

47Eji elgung ma ba, egbang bio jolo go nlum alahb. Jisos sa ntahngtahng go ewong.When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land.

48Jisos kehm nyehne re, abatꞌtoono ebe ebbel nfem go egbang, nyi jo lim bo re, bo kꞌma kpe fing egbang. Tibre nfeb jo gbulu bo, feere njahm njahm. Eji ma rehng ejum nkaranka eni nyi efungfu, Jisos kehm kehme eljene go ero alahb asongo goji bo. Á jo jene, are á yahke sehng bo.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,

49Bo kehm-e nyehne, á kpꞌjene go ero alahb. Bo tiri re, etohko ji. Bo kehm kehme elrabe.but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost—

50Eji bo kpee nyehn-e no, bo kehm kehme elfahle. Jisos kehm soro tong bo re, “Me wo, kana kpe fahl! Boben eltim!”for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

51Á kehm ba yel egbang. Nfeb kehm soro rahke. Abatꞌtoono ebe kpo bo esi sehng.Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,

52Bo kahnem ana abred nyao lohngo no. Tibre jolo bo ekpehlekpehle.for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.

53Bo rehnge kan egbuk eto jehko, edi ndi ji bo jo lung re Genesaret, song kahn egbang ebo.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.

54Bo lohngo kan a egbang me, ane kehm soro liingi Jisos.As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus

55Bo kehm tahme, yel nkpohko ejahbe anyehng anyehng, jo sol aneb ayam go ebkpa, ba edi ajehng ajehng ji bo lꞌwuk re Jisos ebrehng o.and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.

56Ajahbe nya nnen, a ajahbe nyi ki ga gbal, a abon ajahbe ba nse, ane gbalee jo ko aneb ayam ebo, je go are, fere gboongo Jisos re á lub taame, bo koor-e go ege asꞌsili nsubu. Ane kpee ba jo koor-e, jo lꞌlohko nob.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.
