Mark 6 (IYX) · Opened

1Yiisu amati nha mbuu yii, na ayeni ku tsi a nde. Miyii mia nde miamuduki.Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples.

2Iluumbu kia saba, nde abaandii uyiisi mu nzo a makutunu ma Bayuudayo. Babalayi mu babakiyuu nde bakimii na baleeli: «Kuni nde ali mu ubaa mandaa maa? Ba ki pili a buyeri baha kwaa nde, na buni bimaanga bi bili mu uyilimi mu mioo mia nde?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?

3A ni nde pe musalpanzi? Ngwanya ni nde mwaana a Mari, na mukulu a Yaki, a Yose, a Yude na Simooni! Bakeri ba nde a bali mu udiaala pe bisi nhaa na nha!» Mandaa maa moosi makikoonoso bo mu usa imiini mu nde.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.

4Na Yiisu wabaleeli: «Bali mu umeengele mubili ndila mu tsi a nde, mu kaanda la nde na mu nzo a nde.»Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

5Na nde a atuyi uyiluu imaanga so imosi nha bula ba nde pe, so a ni ndila unaa mioo nha yulu a babeeri babamosi na abeelisi bo.So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.

6Na nde akimii mundaa a pelili a imiini kia basi bula ba nde. Yiisu akidieenge mu malaa moosi mamadiengelele ngaanda a Nazareti, na akiyiisi.And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.

7Nde ati miyii kuumi na mioolo mbila, na abaandii mu utsinduu bo boolo-boolo. Nde wabahi litu nha yulu a miheebili mimibi.Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.

8Na wabahi tumini yi: «A dibiti iloo so imosi pe mu mudieenge: so mapa pe, so kutu pe, so mboongo mu kobo pe, ka ndila mupaanga.He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—

9Dilwaata bikoori, ka a dibiti ikutu kia usobo pe.»and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.

10Nde abwileele kwaa bo: «So bayaki beni mu nzo mosi, didiaala muu natee bu beni dimatuu mbuu yii.And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.

11So bangaa bula bumosi, babisi uyaka beni na uyuu beni, dipala muu na dikubulu lifuundu la miili mia beni. Kio sa iba imbaangi ki imweese ti bo bayilii bubi nha kulu a Nziaambi.»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.”

12Ni mu buu miyii miayeni, na miayiisi baata mu usobo ndiaatili na uyiravutuu kwaa Nziaambi.So they set out and preached that the people should repent.

13Bo bakibingi miheebili mialaa mimibi, bakikili babeeri balaa maari na bakibeelese bo.They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.

14Mutini Erode ayuyi bu bakitsuu mu Yiisu, mundaa ti kuumbu a nde ali ka na mvuungu. Babamosi bakileele: «Yowani Mubootii maasiimbuu mu babakwa! Ni mu buu nde ali na litu la uyiluu bimaanga.»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.”

15Bakimi baleeli: «Ngwanya nde ni mubili Eliya.» Bana bakimi: «Nde ni mubili a Nziaambi. Nde li weti mosi mu mibili mimikulu.»Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

16Erode ayuyi moosi ma bakitsuu, na nde aleeli: «Ni Yowani Mubootii! Me natumu bamukese mutswe, ka nde maasiimbuu mu babakwa!»But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”

17Mutini Erode ali atumu bakaanga Yowani, bakutulu nde bibolo na badumunu nde mu perese. Nde ayilii buu mu toono a mukaasa mosi wa kuumbu Erodiade, wu Erode ali akweeli, so bu nde ali mukari a mwaana a nguu a nde Filipo.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.

18Ka Yowani akileele kwaa Erode: «We ali na muswa pe wa uholo mukari a mwaana a nguu a we!»For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”

19Ni mu buu, Erodiade abeli Yowani kwalaa na akisaa ti badusu nde, ka a akituu pe.So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable,

20Erode ali na boomo ba Yowani, mundaa ti nde ali ayaaba ti Yowani ali muutu walibweeye. Nde akiyiluu litoono la Nziaambi, na Erode akikala nde. Mu taanga di nde akiyuu Yowani, nde akimono mutimi pasi. Ka bunu, nde ali atoono uyuu mandaa ma Yowani.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.

21Ka taanga dimbwe diamonii kwaa Erodiade, mu iluumbu kia mukuungi a mbutili a Erode. Erode ayilii ndaamba kwaa baata ba nde balikiinzi, bakuutu ba masodaare na biyeri bia itinini kia Ngalili.On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.

22Mwaana a Erodiade wa mukaasa akoti mu itsuru kia nzo, na akini nha kulu a baata boosi. Nde amweesi kinyi kwaa Erode na kwaa baata ba nde atumisi. Ni mu buu, mutini aleeli kwaa nduumbu mukaasa: «Loombo me pasi ki we atoono, na me sa ha we kio.»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.”

23Na nde alabi mukisi wu kwaa nde: «Pasi ki we uloombo kwaa me, me sa ha we kio, so yaba ibari kia itini kia me.»And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”

24Nduumbu mukaasa apali na aleeli kwaa nguu a nde: «Ima me ni loombo?» Nguu avutili: «Mutswe a Yowani Mubootii.»Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”

25Nduumbu mukaasa avutii mawasa kwaa mutini, na asiiri nde ndoombili yi: «Me tooni ti we ha me, liaalili, mutswe a Yowani mubootii mutso ikoombo!»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.”

26Mutini amoni ngebe dialaa. Ka nde a atuyi pe ubisi ndoombili a nduumbu mukaasa, mu ndaa ya mikisi mi nde alabi nha kulu a baata ba nde ba atumisi ku mukuungi.The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.

27Nde atsindii mu mawasa lisodaare limosi mu babakikebe nde, na tumini ya ubee mutswe a Yowani mubootii. Lisodaare layeni ku perese na lakesi mutswe a Yowani.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.

28Tumake nde abeyi mutswe a Yowani nha tso ikoombo, na ahi nde kwaa nduumbu mukaasa. Nduumbu ka ahi nde kwaa nguu a nde.The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.

29Mu taanga di miyii mia Yowani miayuyi ndaa yii, bo bayeni mu uholo nyutu a nde na basuusi yo mutso ngili.When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.

30Batumu ba Yiisu bakukini nha peembi a nde, na bamuyaabisi mioosi mi bo bayilii na uyiisi.Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.

31Nde wabaleeli: «Diyiri na me nha mbuu yahele a baata, paa beni diwuumu hoolo, nha taka.» Nde aleeli buu, mundaa ti, baata bakiyene na bakiyiri ali balaa, kuli ti Yiisu na miyii mia nde bakooni so ubaa taanga dia udia.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.

32Tumake, bo bayeni mutso bootu, ku mbuu mosi yahele a baata, nha taka.So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.

33Ka baata balaa bamoni bo mu uyene na bayaabi ku bakiyene. Ni mu buu, bo bamati mu mangaanda moosi mamabesene, na bakwito nha mbuu yii mu miili tswaamina Yiisu na miyii mia nde buto.But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.

34Bu Yiisu apali mu bootu, nde amoni koongi yalaa. Nde amoni ngebe ku mutimi mu ndaa baata baa, mu ndaa ti bo bali weti mameme mamahele na mukebi. Na nde abaandii uyiisi bo mandaa malaa.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.

35Bu bwisi bali baka mu uyili, miyii miasweesi kwaa nde na miamuleeli: «Busi buka mu uyili, na baata a bubaadiaala pe nha mbuu yi.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.

36Vutulu baata ba bayene mu misieenge na mala mamadiengelele, bayasuumbu bia udia.»Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

37Yiisu avutili kwaa bo: «Diabaha bia udia beni bame!» Bo bafuuli nde: «We tooni ti bisi diyasuumbu mapa ma makama moolo ma mikuti mia mboongo, paa diha bo bia udia?»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?”

38Yiisu wabaleeli: «Mapa kwe beni dili na mo? Diyene dimono.» Bo bayifuulu na bamuleeli: «Bisi dili na mapa mataana na batswi boolo.»“Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.”

39Ninha Yiisu wabatumi mu udiaala mu makaba, nha yulu a bitiiti bi bibisi.Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.

40Baata badiaali mu makaba. Makaba mana ali baata kama, na makimi ali baata maku mataana.So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

41Yiisu aholi mapa mataana na batswi boolo. Nde asiimbili misi ku yula na avutili matoono kwaa Nziaambi. Nde abukili mapa me, na ahi mo kwaa miyii paa bo bakaba mo kwaa baata. Nde akabi ka batswi bo baboolo nha kati a bo boosi.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.

42Muutu muutu adiiri na ayutii.They all ate and were satisfied,

43Batoli na babiti bitsuru bia mapa masiaalili na bia batswi basiaali, baluusi bitungu kuumi na bioolo.and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.

44Litaanga la babadiiri mapa, ali mafuundu mataana ma babaala.And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.

45Nha mbisi, Yiisu atumi miyii mia nde mu ukoto mu bootu. Nde ayilii buu, paa bo batswaamina nde ku simi la diaanga lilimosi, mu taanga di nde makulu uvutulu koongi. Simi la diaanga lii, ali ku peembi a ngaanda ya Betesayida.Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.

46Bu amani na uvutulu baata, nde ahaati ku yulu a mulaanda mu ukuundu Nziaambi.After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray.

47Tsitsii bu yatoori, bootu me lii ali nha kati a kati a diaanga, na Yiisu nde makulu nha simi.When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land.

48Nde amoni ti miyii mia nde miali na pasi dialaa mu ubiti bootu, mundaa ti iteembi yakibwaana bo. Ku peembi a makia ma bwisi, nde ayeni ku peembi a bo, bu akidiaata nha yulu a mukaanda a maamba ma diaanga, na atooni ulabuu 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 bu bamoni Yiisu mu udiaata nha yulu a diaanga, bo batsimi ti iduuru, na bo baloyi mingiri.but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost—

50Ni mu buu, bo boosi bamumoni na babayi ikuuhulu. Ka nhaa-na-tsi, nde atsuyi kwaa bo, wabaleeli: «Diba ibaala! Ni me, a diba na boomo pe!»for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

51Tumake nde akoti mu bootu li bo bali, na iteembi kiawuri. Miyii miakimii kwalaa,Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,

52ka bo a babayi mbahala so hoolo pe mu ndaa imaanga ki nde ayilii mu mapa, mundaa ti bo bali keni kutso bundimbi.for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.

53Bu bamani na usabuu diaanga, bo batoori mu itinini kia Ngenesareti.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.

54Bo bapali mu bootu, na nhaa-na-tsi, baata bayaabi Yiisu.As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus

55Ni mu buu baata bayeni mu itinini kioosi, na babaandii ubee babeeri kwaa nde. Bo bakibee babeeri nha yulu a malaba, kuu kubayuyi bu bakileele: «Yiisu nhaa ali!»and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.

56Mu mambuu moosi ma nde ayeni, mutso mala, mu magaanda na mu misieenge, baata bakisuusu babeeri mu mafulu. Bo bakipele nde anyaala bo babeembe so ndila ndeengi a ikutu kia nde. Boosi bababeembi nde, babeelii.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.
