Mark 6 (LAG) · Opened

1Yéesu akiinʉka fuma kwa Yaíiro, akadomanʼya na vapooji vaachwe fʉʉrʉ múujii wa Nasaréeti kʉʉntʉ ˆakʉrɨra.Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples.

2Na sikʉ ya Sabáato ˆɨkafike, akaanda variyʉla Masáare ˆYarɨ Mpeho sinagóogii. Vaantʉ va Nasaréeti ˆvarɨ foo ˆveene vamʉteereráa, vakatʉlʉvala, maa vakasea, “Ʉhʉ, hai ayatúriirye masáare aya? Na ʉlʉ lʉvɨro lo bweeyya myuujíisa? Tooti iji nɨ jirikwi?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?

3Eri, ʉhʉ sɨ ʉra mʉsóngoli mbáwo, mwaana wa Maríia tʉkʉ wʉʉ? Baa vandʉʉ vaachwe, sɨ vala Yaakúupu, Yóose, Yʉ́ʉda na Simóoni tʉkʉ wʉʉ? Na vandʉʉ vaachwe va kɨɨntʉ kiki, sɨ ava ˆtwiíkalaa novo aha?” Maa vakasiita muruma.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.

4Yéesu akavasea, “Mʉláali na mʉtwe wa Ijʉva arúmwaa kɨra haantʉ, maa kaa, sɨ arúmwaa múujii meevo tʉkʉ, na kwa vandʉʉ vaachwe na kaayii kwaachwe tʉkʉ.”Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

5Sa jeyyo, nɨ atʉmama myuujíisa mɨke vii, yo vavɨkɨra mɨkono valwɨ́ɨrɨ, novo vakahongera.So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.

6Akahwaalala maatʉkʉ vii, sa viintʉ sɨ vamuruma. Hara, maa Yéesu akariinga maturii ya heehi na Nasaréeti meevo, kʉnʉ yoovavariyʉrɨra vaantʉ Masáare ˆYarɨ Mpeho.And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.

7Akavaanɨrɨra vapooji vaachwe ikimi na vavɨrɨ. Akavaheera wiimiriri mweeri ya mirimʉ mɨvɨ. Akavatʉma vavɨrɨvɨrɨ, kʉnʉThen Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.

8yoovalairirya, “Kati ˆmookera njɨra, karɨ mʉsʉ́mʉlaa muriwa tʉkʉ, baa chóorya tʉkʉ, baa kei karɨ mʉsʉ́mʉlaa mpía tʉkʉ, sumuli nkome vii,He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—

9na viráatʉ ivikiri, maa kaa, karɨ mʉsʉ́mʉlaa nkáancho ya kavɨrɨ tʉkʉ.”and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.

10Kei akavasea, “Kaaya ˆngʼeene mʉrɨ teengiwa ikali haaho, fʉʉrʉ sikʉ ˆmʉrɨ looka múuji ʉwo.And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.

11Na haantʉ hohoosi ˆvarɨ siita vateengya no siita vateerera masáare yaanyu, looki na ikonkomi marʉrɨ majewii yaanyu, koonekya ʉvɨ waavo.”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.”

12Vapooji vaachwe vakadoma, kʉnʉ voovariyʉla vaantʉ vavalandʉke fuma uvii waavo.So they set out and preached that the people should repent.

13Baa kei vakibiryáa mirimʉ mɨvɨ ˆɨrɨ foo, vavahakáa valwɨ́ɨrɨ makuta, novo vahongeráa.They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.

14Mpɨɨndɨ ijo, mʉtemi Heróode Antípaasi akateera masáare ya Yéesu, sa viintʉ irina ra Yéesu ˆralʉʉswáa kɨra haantʉ. Vamwɨ va vaantʉ vaseáa, “Ʉhʉ nɨ Yooháani Mʉbatisáaji ˆafúfukire fuma inkwyii. Ɨkɨ noo ˆchooreka lʉvɨro lo bweeyya myuujíisa lʉrɨ ne.”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.”

15Vamwɨ vaseáa, “Ʉhʉ nɨ Elía, mʉláali na mʉtwe wa Ijʉva.” Kei vamwɨ vaseáa, “Ʉhʉ nɨ ja vara valáali na mʉtwe va Ijʉva va kalɨ.”Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

16Maa kaa, Heróode ˆakateere masáare ayo, akasea, “Ʉhʉ nɨ ʉra ˆnamʉdʉmʉla mʉtwe, Yooháani Mʉbatisáaji. Afúfukire!”But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”

17Heróode alʉʉsa jeyyo sa ʉko nyuma ajáa alairirya Yooháani Mʉbatisáaji akwaatwe, avɨɨkwe mʉnyololwii, sa Herodía. Ʉhʉ Herodía nɨ muki wa Filíipi, mwaanaavo na Heróode ajáa. Heróode ajáa amʉloola.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.

18Na Yooháani Mʉbatisáaji amʉseáa Heróode, “Miiro yakaanʼya weewe kʉmʉsʉmʉla muki wa mwaanaanyu.”For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”

19Sa jeyyo, Herodía akamʉvɨɨkɨra Yooháani ikuundi mutimii, asaakáa amʉʉlae, nkalo vii ɨndoosoveka.So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable,

20Heróode amoofáa Yooháani sa ajáa ataanga Yooháani nɨ mʉwoloki na nɨ mʉʉja wa Mʉlʉʉngʉ, maa ɨndoomukitirirya sa Herodía asiindwe kʉmʉʉlaa. Kei, Heróode ajáa eenda kʉteerera masáare ya Yooháani, baa neembe masáare yaachwe yamutuungyáa ʉsʉʉngʉ mʉnʉmʉʉnʉ.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.

21Maa reerʉ, nkalo ɨkatooreka. Sikʉ ɨyo, Heróode ajáa abwéeyyiirye ngovi yo kʉmbʉkɨra sikʉ ˆavyaalwa. Akavalaarɨka valʉme iiláangyaa novo sáare, vakʉ́ʉ́lʉ va vakʉ́ʉ́lʉ va valwi nkoondo na vakʉ́ʉ́lʉ va Galiláaya.On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.

22Aho ngovii, muhíínja wa Herodía akamʉvɨnɨra Heróode na vayeni vaachwe, maa vakavyeenda maatʉkʉ vii. Mʉtemi Heróode akamʉsea ʉra muhíínja, “Lʉʉsa kɨɨntʉ chochoosi ˆwoosaaka, nɨɨnɨ kʉheera ndɨrɨ.”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.”

23Akiilaha, yoosea, “Niiláhire! Kɨɨntʉ chochoosi ˆʉrɨ saaka, nɨɨnɨ kʉheera ndɨrɨ. Baa koonɨ nɨ kʉkʉkerera ɨsɨ ya ʉtemi waanɨ katɨ na katɨ.”And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”

24Maa ʉra muhíínja akafuma, akɨɨta muurya íyo waavo, “Nɨ kɨɨntʉ che ndɨrɨ loomba?” Íyo waavo akamʉsea, “Mʉtwe wa Yooháani Mʉbatisáaji!”Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”

25Hahara, akahɨndʉka itɨ́ɨjo na kʉrɨ mʉtemi, maa akamʉsea, “Mpeera haaha vii, mʉtwe wa Yooháani Mʉbatisáaji ʉvɨ́kɨɨrwe ikaafii.”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.”

26Mʉtemi akavisʉʉla maatʉkʉ vii. Maa kaa, sa viintʉ ajáa amwiiláhɨɨre mbere ja vayeni vaachwe, akasiindwa mʉsɨɨtɨra.The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.

27Hahara, mʉtemi Heróode akamʉtʉma mulwi nkoondo ʉmwɨ, akareete mʉtwe wa Yooháani. Ʉra mulwi nkoondo akɨɨngɨra na mʉnyololwii, akamʉdʉmʉla Yooháani Mʉbatisáaji mʉtwe.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.

28Akavɨkɨra mʉtwe wa Yooháani ikaafii, maa akamʉtwaarɨra mwaana wa Herodía, ne akamʉkwaatya íyo waavo.The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.

29Na vapooji va Yooháani ˆvakateere ayo masáare, vakɨɨta sʉmʉla mʉvɨrɨ waachwe, maa vakɨɨta mʉtaaha mbiríírii.When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.

30Vatumwi va Yéesu ˆvakahɨndʉke, vakamuwyɨɨra Yéesu viintʉ vyoosi ˆvatʉ́mamire na ˆvyeene vakíindiirye.Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.

31Maa Yéesu akavasea, “Hendi, tʉdome na kijiraawii, mʉkahʉmʉlʉke kiduudi.” Alʉʉsa jei, sa hara haantʉ ˆvajáa, kwajáa kwatɨɨte vaantʉ ˆvarɨ foo ˆvʉʉjáa no looka, vakasova baa nkalo yo rya.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.

32Hara, vakiinʉka na mashʉ́wa, maa vakadoma na haantʉ ha tʉʉla kusiina vaantʉ.So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.

33Maa kaa, vaantʉ ˆvarɨ foo vakavoona Yéesu na vapooji vaachwe voolooka, maa vakavataanga. Vakakʉʉrɨka na lwa kʉʉlʉ fuma míiji yoosi, vakadoma na kʉra kʉʉntʉ Yéesu ˆadomáa, maa vakalongoola fika.But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.

34Yéesu ˆakakiime mbarɨmbarɨ ya iriva, akoona mayɨɨmbɨ ya vaantʉ, akavoonera mbavariri sa vajáa nɨ ja muundi ˆjisiina muríisi. Maa, akaanda variyʉla masáare ˆyarɨ foo.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.

35ˆKʉkaande kʉswa, vapooji vakɨɨta kʉrɨ Yéesu, maa vakamʉsea, “Haantʉ aha nɨ kʉlɨ na kaaya ja vaantʉ, baa kei mwaasʉ waswɨ́ɨre.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.

36Aaɨ, varekere vaantʉ, vakiiwʉrɨre vyóorya ʉko mawundii na maturii ˆyarɨ heehi.”Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

37Maa kaa, Yéesu akavasea, “Vaheeri nyuunyu chóorya.” Novo vakamʉsea, “Hai tʉrɨ fumya mpía ja dináari magana yavɨrɨ (200) jo wʉrɨra chóorya cho viikutya vaantʉ voosi ava?”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?”

38Akavuurya, “Mɨkáate ɨngaɨ mwatɨɨte? Hoonɨ kalaangi.” ˆVakahɨndʉke, maa vakamʉsea, “Ɨmwaarɨ mɨkáate ɨsaano na soompa ivɨrɨ.”“Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.”

39Maa akavalairirya, vaviikarye vaantʉ kɨtoongetoonge masaambii.Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.

40Vaantʉ novo vakiikala vitoonge vya vaantʉ makumi yasaanosaano (50) na makumi ikimikimi (100).So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

41Yéesu akatoola ɨra mɨkáate ɨsaano na jira soompa ivɨrɨ. Akiinurirya miiso yaachwe na kurumwii yoomʉdʉʉmba Mʉlʉʉngʉ. Akabendʉlabendʉla ɨra mɨkáate ɨsaano, maa akavaheera vapooji vaachwe novo vakavaheera vaantʉ. Baa na jira soompa ivɨrɨ akabweeyya vivira.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.

42Vaantʉ voosi vakarya, vakiikuta.They all ate and were satisfied,

43Vapooji vakatoorera mabéendʉ ya mɨkáate, vakamemya vikápu ikimi na vivɨrɨ.and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.

44Vaantʉ ˆvaarya vajáa vamema maatʉkʉ vii, vaantʉ valʉme vii nɨ mayana yasaano (5,000) vajáa.And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.

45Hahara vii, Yéesu akavadoomererya vapooji vaachwe, vaambʉke mashʉ́wa, valongoole na iturii ra Besaída, nyambʉko ya iriva ra Galiláaya. Yeeye akachaala yookiiteengʉla na ɨra mpuka.Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.

46Vaantʉ ˆvakalooke, akaambʉka na luulwii noo mʉloomba Mʉlʉʉngʉ.After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray.

47Na mpɨɨndɨ ja iwʉlo, mashʉ́wa ɨjáa yafíkire katɨ na katɨ ya iriva, na Yéesu ajáa achɨ́hɨɨre yeemweene luulwii.When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land.

48Maa akavoona vapooji vaachwe kʉʉra vootʉrɨkɨra kʉtwaala mashʉ́wa na mbere, sa ihúmbuuto rawuváa fuma mbere yaavo. ˆƗkafike namuyiingʉ, Yéesu akavatuuba na katɨkatɨ ya iriva yooyeendera mweeri ya maaji, akava yoosaaka valooka.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,

49Maa kaa, ˆvakamoone yooyeenda mweeri ya maaji, vakiisea nɨ murimʉ. Aho, vakaanda kwaana ntáákwi,but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost—

50sa ˆvakamoone, voosi vajáa viivʉndʉka maatʉkʉ vii. Hahara, maa akavasea, “Fafyi mɨtɨma, nɨ nɨɨnɨ, koofi tʉkʉ.”for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

51Yéesu akaambʉka na mashúwii hamwɨ novo, aho, maa ihúmbuuto rɨkaherya. Vapooji vaachwe vakatʉlʉvala maatʉkʉ vii,Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,

52sa vajáa vakaarɨ taanga ʉra muujíisa wa mɨkáate na mɨtɨma yaavo ɨjáa ɨkaarɨ yafafa.for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.

53Yéesu na vapooji vaachwe ˆvakafɨrɨre iriva ra Galiláaya, maa vakafika ɨsɨ ya Genesaréeti, aho, vakiimya mashʉ́wa.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.

54ˆVakakiime vii mashúwii, maa vaantʉ vakamʉtaanga Yéesu.As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus

55Vakarɨɨngɨrɨra chaangʉ ɨsɨ yoosi, na vakatoola valwɨ́ɨrɨ na ndɨrɨ jaavo, maa vakavatwaala na kʉʉntʉ ˆvateeráa Yéesu amwaarɨ.and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.

56Kɨra múuji, ituri, na miwundii, noo kʉsea, kɨra haantʉ Yéesu ˆadomáa, vaantʉ vavavɨɨkáa valwɨ́ɨrɨ vaavo gurii. Na vamʉloombáa, avarekere valwɨ́ɨrɨ vasaasye baa mʉkáwo wa ɨngo yaachwe vii. Na voosi ˆvasaasya ɨngo yaachwe, vahongera.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.
