Mark 6 (MKW) · Opened

1Yesu katukaka na kisika yina, mpe kwendaka na mbanza yina yandi kulaka. Bilandi ya yandi mpe kwendaka na yandi.Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples.

2Na kilumbu ya saba, yandi vwandaka longisa na yinzo ya lusambulu ya ba-Zwife. Bantu mingi yina vwandaka kuwa yandi yitukaka mingi, mpe tubaka: «Wapi sika yandi me kuzwa mambu nyonso yayi? Nani me pesa yandi ndwenga yayi, mpe lulendo ya kusala bimangu ya mutindu yayi?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?

3Yandi kele kisadi-mabaya mpe mwana ya Maliya. Yandi kele yaya ya Zaki, Yoze, Yude mpe Simoni! Bibusi ya yandi ke zingaka na beto awa!» Mambu nyonso yina bawu vwandaka banza salaka ti bawu kwikila na yandi ve.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 yina, Yesu zabisaka bawu: «Ba ke zitisaka mumbikudi bisika nyonso. Kasi ba ke zitisaka yandi ve na mbanza ya yandi, na dikanda ya yandi mpe na dibuta ya yandi.»Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

5Kuna, Yesu lendaka ve na kusala kimangu, kana kaka ve mwa bambevo yina yandi tentikaka maboko mpe belusaka.So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.

6Yandi vwandaka yituka samu ti bantu ya mbanza ya yandi vwandaka kwikila ve. Na manima, Yesu vwandaka zyeta na babwala ya pene-pene na mbanza yina samu na kulongisa bantu.And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.

7Yandi bokilaka bilandi ya yandi kumi na zole, mpe fidisaka bawu zole-zole. Yandi pesaka bawu lulendo ya kubingisa bampeve ya yimbi,Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.

8mpe zabisaka bawu mutindu yayi: «Beno nata ata kima samu na nzyetolo ya beno. Beno nata kaka mwa yinti. Beno nata ve mampa, to nkutu, to mbongo na baposi.He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—

9Beno lwata mapapa, kasi beno nata ve binkuti zole.»and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.

10Yandi zabisaka dyaka bawu: «Na mbanza yina beno ke kuma, beno vwanda na kati ya yinzo yina ba ke yamba beno tii ntangu beno ke katuka kuna.And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.

11Kana bantu ya bwala mosi yamba beno ve to manga na kuwa beno, beno katuka kuna mpe beno ningisa fundu-fundu ya makulu ya beno. Ya ke vwanda nkebosolo samu na bawu.»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.”

12Na yina, bilandi kwendaka mpe vwandaka zabisa bantu nyonso na kusoba nkadulu.So they set out and preached that the people should repent.

13Bawu bingisaka bampeve mingi ya yimbi. Bawu vwandaka tula bambevo mingi mafuta na yintu, mpe vwandaka belusa bawu.They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.

14Ntinu Elode kuwaka nsangu ya Yesu samu ti nsangu ya Yesu mwanganaka na bisika nyonso. Ba ya nkaka vwandaka tuba: «Yowane Mubotiki me vumbuka na lufwa! Ni yawu yina, yandi kele na lulendo ya kusala bimangu.»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.”

15Kasi ba ya nkaka vwandaka tuba: «Ya kele Eli.» Ba ya nkaka dyaka vwandaka tuba: «Yandi kele mosi na kati ya mimbikudi ya ntama.»Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

16Ntangu Elode kuwaka mambu nyonso yina bantu vwandaka zonza, yandi tubaka: «Ya kele Yowane Mubotiki yina mu zengisaka yintu. Ni yandi me vumbuka na lufwa!»But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”

17Ya tsyelika, Elode kangisaka Yowane, mpe tulaka yandi na boloko na bisengo na makulu. Yandi salaka mutindu yina samu na Elodyade, kento ya mpangi ya yandi Filipe, yina yandi kwelaka.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.

18Ni yawu yina, Yowane zabisaka na Elode ti: «Nge kele ve na muswa ya kubaka kento ya mpangi ya nge.»For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”

19Elodyade vwandaka ya kufuluka na nkele na Yowane, mpe vwandaka zola kufwa yandi. Kasi yandi vwandaka lenda ve,So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable,

20samu ti Elode vwandaka na boma ya Yowane. Elode zabaka ti Yowane vwandaka muntu ya kudedama mpe ya longo. Ni yawu yina, yandi vwandaka keba yandi. Mabanza ya yandi vwandaka kuma kidi-kidi ntangu yandi vwandaka kuwa Yowane. Kasi yandi vwandaka zola kuwa mambu ya Yowane.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.

21Kasi Elodyade kuzwaka ntangu ya mbote na kilumbu yina Elode salaka mukembo ya yandi ya mbutukulu. Elode bokilaka na kudya bamfumu ya luyalu ya yandi, bamfumu ya binwani, mpe bantu ya mfunu ya Ngalili.On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.

22Ndumba ya Elodyade kotaka na kivinga ya mukembo, mpe binaka. Yandi yangidikaka Elode mpe banzenza. Na yina, ntinu tubaka na ndumba yina: «Mu ke pesa nge kima ni kima yina nge ke lomba munu.»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 manima, yandi zengaka ndefi yayi: «Mu ke pesa nge nyonso yina nge ke lomba munu, ata ya vwanda ndambu ya yinsi ya munu.»And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”

24Ndumba basikaka mpe yufulaka mama ya yandi: «Yinki mu fwana kulomba?» Mama ya yandi vutulaka: «Lomba yintu ya Yowane Mubotiki.»Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”

25Ndumba vutukaka na nswalu nyonso na sika ya ntinu, mpe tubaka: «Mu zola ti nge pesa munu malu-malu yayi yintu ya Yowane Mubotiki na kati ya ndonga.»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.”

26Ntinu Elode kumaka na kyadi. Kasi samu na ndefi yina yandi kudyaka na ntwala ya banzenza, yandi lendaka ve na kuyimina yandi yawu.The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.

27Na yina, yandi tumisaka mbulu-mbulu na nswalu nyonso na kunatina yandi yintu ya Yowane. Mbulu-mbulu kwendaka na kati ya boloko, mpe zengaka Yowane yintu.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.

28Yandi nataka yintu yina na kati ya ndonga, mpe pesaka yawu na ndumba. Ndumba pesaka yawu na mama ya yandi.The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.

29Ntangu bilandi ya Yowane kuwaka nsangu yina, bawu kwendaka baka nzutu ya Yowane mpe tulaka yawu na kati ya ndyamu.When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.

30Bantumwa vutukaka na sika ya Yesu, mpe zabisaka yandi mambu nyonso yina bawu salaka mpe longisaka.Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.

31Yesu tubaka na bantumwa: «Beno kwiza na munu na kisika yina kele bantu ve samu na kupema fyoti.» Yandi zonzaka mutindu yina samu ti bantu mingi vwandaka kwiza mpe kwenda, mpe bantumwa kuzwaka ve mwa ntangu ya kudya.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.

32Na yina, bawu kotaka na bwatu, mpe kwendaka na yinsi ya kuyuma, kisika yina vwandaka ve na bantu.So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.

33Kasi bantu mingi talaka bawu ntangu bawu kwendaka, mpe zabaka bawu. Na yina, bawu katukaka na bambanza nyonso yina vwandaka pene-pene, mpe tekilaka na makulu na kisika yina Yesu mpe bantumwa vwandaka kwenda.But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.

34Ntangu Yesu basikaka na bwatu, yandi talaka nkonga ya nene ya bantu. Yandi kumaka ya kufuluka na kyadi samu na bawu, samu ti bawu vwandaka mutindu mameme yina kele ve na muvungi. Na yina, yandi bandaka na kulongisa bawu mambu mingi.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.

35Mutindu bwisi bandaka na kuyila, bilandi ya Yesu kwendaka pene-pene ya yandi, mpe tubaka: «Bwisi me banda na kuyila, mpe kisika yayi kele na kima ve.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.

36Vutula bantu yayi na babwala mpe bayinzo ya mivungi yina kele pene-pene, samu ti bawu sumba bima ya kudya.»Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

37Yesu vutulaka: «Beno pesa bawu madya beno mosi.» Kasi bawu yufulaka yandi: «Nge zola ti beto kwenda kusumba mampa yina me fwanana na Badenalya bankama zole (200), mpe beto pesa bawu yawu?»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 zabisaka bawu: «Beno kwenda tala mampa yikwa kele na beno?» Bawu kwendaka tala mpe tubaka: «Beto kele na mampa tanu na bambisi zole.»“Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.”

39Na yina, Yesu tumisaka bilandi ya yandi na kukabula bantu nyonso na mwa bankonga, mpe na kuvwandisa bawu na zulu ya mwa matiti yina vwandaka kuna.Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.

40Bantu vwandaka na bankonga. Ya vwandaka na bankonga ya bantu nkama, mpe bankonga ya bantu makumi tanu.So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

41Na manima, Yesu bakaka mampa tanu mpe bambisi zole. Yandi talaka na zulu mpe tondaka Nzambi. Yandi bukunaka mampa mpe pesaka yawu na bilandi ya yandi, samu ti bawu kabula yawu na bantu nyonso. Yandi kabulaka mpe bambisi zole yina na bantu nyonso.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.

42Bawu nyonso kudyaka mpe yukutaka.They all ate and were satisfied,

43Bilandi lokotaka bibuku ya mampa mpe ya bambisi yina bikanaka. Bawu fulusaka bitunga kumi na zole.and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.

44Lutangu ya bayina kudyaka mampa vwandaka mafunda tanu (5 000) ya babakala.And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.

45Na manima, Yesu tumisaka bilandi ya yandi na kukota na bwatu, samu ti bawu tekila na simu ya nkaka ya dyanga na ndambu ya mbanza Besayida ntangu yandi mosi ke vutula bantu na bambanza ya bawu.Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.

46Na manima ya kuvutula nkonga yina, yandi kwendaka na mongo samu na kusambila.After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray.

47Ntangu mpimpa kumaka, bwatu vwandaka me kuma na kati-kati ya dyanga, mpe Yesu vwandaka kaka yandi mosi na ntoto.When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land.

48Yesu talaka ti bilandi ya yandi vwandaka tala mpasi na kunata bwatu, samu ti kitembo ya ngolo vwandaka bwabana bawu. Na yina, ntete bwisi kutsya, yandi tambulaka na zulu ya maza na kukwenda na sika ya bawu, mpe zolaka luta bawu.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,

49Ntangu bilandi talaka yandi na kutambula na zulu ya maza, bawu banzaka ti ya vwandaka mukuyu, mpe bawu bandaka na kulooka.but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost—

50Ya tsyelika, bawu nyonso vwandaka tala yandi, mpe kumaka na boma. Kasi yandi zabisaka bawu na mbangu: «Beno vwanda na kibakala! Ya kele munu. Beno tala boma ve.»for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

51Na manima, Yesu kotaka na bwatu yina, mpe mupepe dingamaka. Na yina, bilandi yitukaka mingi.Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,

52Ya tsyelika, bilandi bakulaka ve kimangu ya mampa samu ti bantima ya bawu vwandaka ya kukangama.for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.

53Na manima ya kusabuka dyanga, bawu kumaka na kizunga ya Ngenezalete.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.

54Ntangu bawu vwandaka basika na bwatu, bantu zabaka Yesu mbangu.As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus

55Na yina, bantu kwendaka mbangu na kati ya kizunga nyonso, mpe natinaka yandi bambevo na zulu ya bipoyi konso kisika yina bawu vwandaka kuwa ti Yesu kele.and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.

56Na bisika nyonso yina Yesu vwandaka luta na kati ya babwala, bambanza, mpe babwala ya mivungi, bantu vwandaka tula bambevo na bisika yina bantu nyonso ke vukanaka. Bawu vwandaka bondila yandi na kupesa bambevo muswa ya kusimba kwandi nsongi ya kinkuti ya yandi, mpe bayina nyonso vwandaka simba yawu, vwandaka beluka.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.
