Mark 6 (LUG) · Opened

1Yesu n’ava mu kitundu ekyo n’abayigirizwa be n’addayo mu kibuga ky’ewaabwe.Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples.

2Olunaku lwa Ssabbiiti bwe lwatuuka n’agenda mu kkuŋŋaaniro okuyigiriza, abantu bangi abaaliwo ne beewuunya nnyo bwe baawulira bw’ayigiriza, ne bawuniikirira ne beebuuza nti, “Bino byonna yabiyigira wa era magezi ga ngeri ki ono ge yaweebwa n’eby’amagero ebyenkanidde wano by’akola?”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?

3Ne beebuuza nti, “Ono si ye mwana w’omubazzi? Maliyamu si ye nnyina, ne baganda be si be ba Yakobo, ne Yose, ne Yuda ne Simooni? Ne bannyina tetubeera nabo kuno?” Ekyo ne kibatawanya mu mutima.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.

4Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Nnabbi aweebwa ekitiibwa buli wantu okuggyako mu nsi y’ewaabwe ne mu bantu be ne mu maka ge waabwe.”Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

5Naye teyakolerayo byamagero bingi okuggyako abalwadde abatonotono be yakwatako n’abawonya.So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.

6N’awuniikirira nnyo okulaba nga tebamukkirizza. Awo n’agenda ng’ayigiriza mu byalo ebiriraanyeewo.And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.

7Awo Yesu n’ayita abayigirizwa be ekkumi n’ababiri n’abatuma babiri babiri era n’abawa obuyinza okugoba emyoyo emibi ku bantu.Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.

8N’abakuutira obutatwala kantu konna okuggyako omuggo ogw’okutambuza gwokka nti, “Temutwala mmere wadde akagugu newaakubadde ensimbi mu lukoba.He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—

9Mwambale engatto naye temutwala kkanzu yakubiri.”and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.

10N’abagamba nti, “Era buli nnyumba gye munaayingirangamu musulanga omwo okutuusa lwe muliva mu kibuga ekyo.And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.

11Era bwe mutuukanga mu kifo ne batabaaniriza yadde okubawuliriza, bwe mubanga muvaayo mukunkumuliranga mu kifo omwo enfuufu ey’omu bigere byammwe, okuba akabonero gye bali.”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.”

12Awo abayigirizwa ne bagenda nga babuulira buli muntu nti, “Mwenenye.”So they set out and preached that the people should repent.

13Ne bagoba baddayimooni bangi ku bantu, ne basiiga abalwadde amafuta ne babawonya.They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.

14Awo Kabaka Kerode n’awulira ettutumu lya Yesu, kubanga yali ayogerwako wonna olw’ebyamagero bye yakolanga. Naye Kerode n’alowooza nti Yokaana Omubatiza y’azuukidde, kubanga abantu baayogeranga nti, “Tewali muntu mulala ayinza kukola byamagero nga bino.”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.”

15Naye abalala ne balowooza nti, “Eriya.” N’abalala ne bagamba nti, “Nnabbi ng’omu ku bannabbi ab’edda.”Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

16Kerode bwe yabiwulira ye n’agamba nti, “Oyo Yokaana, omusajja gwe natemako omutwe, y’azuukide mu bafu.”But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”

17Kubanga Kerode yennyini ye yatuma abaserikale be ne bakwata Yokaana Omubatiza ne bamuggalira mu kkomera, olwa Kerudiya muka muganda we Firipo, Kerode gwe yali awasizza.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.

18Yokaana yagamba Kerode nti, “Si kituufu okutwala Kerudiya muka muganda wo Firipo.”For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”

19Kerudiya n’ayagala okutta Yokaana yeesasuze, naye nga tayinza.So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable,

20Kubanga Kerode yatyanga Yokaana Omubatiza, ng’amuwa ekitiibwa ng’omuntu wa Katonda ow’amazima era omutukuvu, era ng’amukuuma. Era Kerode bwe yayogeranga ne Yokaana ng’emmeeme ye tetereera, so nga yali ayagala nnyo okuwuliriza by’amugamba.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.

21Naye olwali olwo, Kabaka Kerode n’afumba embaga ku lunaku lw’amazaalibwa ge, n’ayita abakungu be n’abakulu b’abaserikale n’abaami bonna abatutumufu mu Ggaliraaya.On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.

22Awo muwala wa Kerudiya yennyini n’ajja n’azina nnyo, n’asanyusa Kerode n’abagenyi be yali atudde nabo ku mbaga. Awo Kabaka Kerode n’agamba omuwala nti, “Nsaba kyonna ky’oyagala nange nnaakikuwa.”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.”

23Era n’ayongera okumulayirira nti, “Kyonna kyonna ky’ononsaba yadde ekitundu ky’obwakabaka bwange nnaakikuwa!”And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”

24Awo omuwala n’afuluma ne yeebuuza ku nnyina. Nnyina n’amugamba nti, “Saba omutwe gwa Yokaana Omubatiza!”Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”

25Omuwala n’addayo mangu eri kabaka n’amusaba nti, “Njagala ompe kaakano, ku ssowaani, omutwe gwa Yokaana Omubatiza!”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.”

26Kino ne kinakuwaza nnyo kabaka, n’anyiikaala nnyo, kyokka olwokubanga yali amaze okulayira n’okweyama ng’abagenyi be bawulira, n’atya okumenya obweyamo bwe.The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.

27Bw’atyo n’ayita omuserikale we, n’amulagira agende aleete omutwe gwa Yokaana. Omuserikale n’agenda mu kkomera, n’atemako Yokaana omutwe,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.

28n’aguleeteera ku lutiba, n’aguwa omuwala n’omuwala n’agutwalira nnyina.The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.

29Abayigirizwa ba Yokaana bwe baategeera ne bajja ne baggyawo omulambo gwe, ne bagutwala ne baguziika.When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.

30Awo abatume ne bakomawo awali Yesu ne bamunnyonnyola byonna bye baakola ne bye baayigiriza.Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.

31N’abagamba nti, “Mujje tugende mu kifo eteri bantu tuwummuleko.” Kubanga baali babuliddwa n’akaseera ak’okuliiramu ku mmere olw’abantu abangi abajjanga gye bali; bano baabanga baakavaawo ate ng’abalala bajja.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.

32Bwe batyo ne balinnya mu lyato ne bagenda mu kifo ekiwolerevu eteri bantu.So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.

33Naye abantu bangi abaava mu bibuga bingi ne babalaba nga bagenda ne bategeera gye baali bagenda ne badduka okwetooloola ku lukalu ne babeesookayo.But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.

34Yesu bwe yava mu lyato n’alaba ekibiina ky’abantu bangi abaali bakuŋŋaanye n’abasaasira nga bali ng’endiga ezitalina musumba. Awo n’atandika okubayigiriza ebintu bingi.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.

35Awo obudde bwe bwawungeera abayigirizwa ne bajja awali Yesu ne bamugamba nti, “Ekifo kino kya ddungu ate n’obudde buwungedde.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.

36Abantu basiibule bagende beegulire emmere mu byalo ne mu bibuga ebiriraanye wano.”Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

37Naye Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mmwe mubawe ekyokulya.” Ne bamubuuza nti, “Tugende tubagulire emmere nga ya dinaali ebikumi bibiri, tugibawe balye?”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?”

38Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Mulina emigaati emeka? Mugende mulabe.” Bwe baamala okwetegereza ne bamugamba nti, “Waliwo emigaati etaano n’ebyennyanja bibiri.”“Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.”

39Awo Yesu n’alagira abantu bonna batuule wansi ku muddo mu bibinja.Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.

40Awo ne batuula mu bibinja, eby’abantu ataano ataano, awalala kikumi kikumi.So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

41Yesu n’atoola emigaati etaano n’ebyennyanja ebibiri n’ayimusa amaaso ge eri eggulu ne yeebaza Katonda. N’amenyaamenya emigaati n’ebyennyanja ebibiri, n’abiwa abayigirizwa be ne bagabula abantu bonna ne babuna.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.

42Bonna ne balya ne bakkuta.They all ate and were satisfied,

43Ne bakuŋŋaanya obukunkumuka bw’emigaati n’obw’ebyennyanja ebisero kkumi na bibiri.and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.

44Abasajja abaalya emigaati baali enkumi ttaano.And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.

45Amangwago Yesu n’alagira abayigirizwa be basaabale mu lyato bawunguke bagende emitala w’ennyanja e Besusayida abasange eyo, ng’amaze okusiibula ebibiina by’abantu.Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.

46Bwe yamala okubasiibula n’alinnya ku lusozi okusaba.After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray.

47Awo obudde bwe bwawungeera, Yesu ng’asigadde yekka ku lukalu,When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land.

48n’abalengera nga bategana n’eryato kubanga waaliwo omuyaga mungi n’amayengo amagulumivu ebyabafuluma mu maaso gye baali balaga. Awo obudde bwali bunaatera okukya nga ku ssaawa mwenda ez’ekiro, n’ajja gye bali ng’atambulira ku mazzi, n’aba ng’ayagala okubayitako.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,

49Naye bwe baamulaba ng’atambulira ku nnyanja ne baleekaana nnyo, bonna, nga batidde, kubanga baalowooza nti muzimu,but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost—

50kubanga bonna baamulaba ne batya. Naye n’ayanguwa okwogera nabo, n’abagamba nti, “Mugume omwoyo. Ye Nze, temutya.”for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

51Awo n’alinnya mu lyato, omuyaga ne gulekeraawo okukunta! Abayigirizwa be ne bawuniikirira nnyo.Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,

52Tebategeera kyamagero eky’emigaati kubanga emitima gyabwe gyali mikakanyavu.for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.

53Awo eryato lyabwe bwe lyagoba ku lubalama lw’ennyanja Genesaleeti,When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.

54ne bavaamu. Abantu bwe balaba Yesu, amangwago ne bamutegeererawo.As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus

55Ne babuna mu bitundu ebyali biriraanyeewo nga bamuleetera abalwadde nga basituliddwa ku butanda.and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.

56Wonna wonna gye yagendanga, mu byalo, mu bibuga, mu butale ne ku nguudo ne baleeta abalwadde ne bamwegayirira waakiri bakwateko bukwasi ku lukugiro lw’ekyambalo kye. Era bonna abaakikwatako ne bawona.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.
