Mark 6 (SBS) · Opened

1Imi nayenda kuzwa mwateni ni kwiza mwitoropo mumuzi wakwe, ni varutwana vakwe vavamwichilili.Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples.

2Imi Mukivero hausika, avaruti mu maSinagoge. Vuungi vwa vaantu vuva muzuwi nivaziyeleha. Nivati, “Aba wani kuhi izi intuto?” “Maanonzi aa avahewa kwali?” “Imakazonzi izi zatenda chamayanza akwe”?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?

3“ Kanji muvezi, mwana Maria ni mukulwe wa Jakovo ni Jose ni Juda ni Simoni? Vanchizye kavahena hanu naswe”? Mi vavaziyezwe chaJesu.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.

4Mi Jesu chati kuvali, “Muporofita kayelele kuvuzwa ikute, mbwiteli mwitoropo mwazwa ni muvakwakwe, ni vamunzubo yakwe.”Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

5Ava kangwa kutenda mutendo ikolete, mbwiteli kuvika mayanza akwe havantu vache valwele ni kuvahoza.So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.

6Kusazumina kwavo kuva mukomokisi. Nicha yenda vuzimbuluka muminzi nakavuruta.And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.

7Ni chasumpa vena ikumi limwiina nivovere ni kutanga kuvatuma kunze, vovere cha vovere, nikuvaha ziho he inhuho zisaJololi,Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.

8Ni kuba laera kuti kakwina chiva hinda mulwendo lwavo, mbwiteri inkoli vulyo: kakwina inkoko, kakwina mukotana, imi kakwina mali mulutunga lwavo,He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—

9kono kuzwata insangu, nikusa livwika inguvo zovere.and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.

10Ni chati kuvali, “Monse mumwinjirira mwinzuvo, mwikale mo mbwita hete nimusiire icho chivaka.And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.

11Imi itoropo isete imitambule kamba kusamiteeka, hamusiya icho chivaka, muzukutule isuko kumatende enu ivevupaki kuvali.”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.”

12Vavayendi ni vaya vuruta kuti vaantu vafutatile zivi zavo.So they set out and preached that the people should repent.

13Niva zwisa madimona maangi, ni kusinga vantu vangi valwala ioli ni kuvahoza.They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.

14Heroda hazuwa izi, kakuti izina lya Jesu livavuvaani. Vamwi vavali kucho, “Johani Mukolovezi ava kavuswa kuvafwile imi chovuti, izi ziho zina imakazo zitendete mwali.”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.”

15Vamwi ni vaati, “Nji Eliya”. Kono vamwi nivati, “Muporofita, uvu nji vumwi wavaporofita vamwi nako zentanzi.”Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

16Kono linu Heroda hazuwa ichi nacho, “Johani, uni vakosoli mutwi avavuuswa.”But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”

17Mukuti Heroda avatumini kusuminwa kwa Johani niku muhakila muntolongo kaha mulandu wa Herodiasi (mwi hyabwe wa mwanchakwe Filipi), kakuti chava musesete.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.

18Mukuti Johani avawambiri Heroda, “Kakuyelele kwako kuva ni mwihyabwe wa mwancako.”For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”

19“Kono Herodiyasi nakwatilila havuvengi kumulwisanisa, ni kusaka kumwihaya, kono kana avawoli,So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable,

20Mukuti Heroda avatite Johani; avezi kuti ushiyeme imi mukwame yojolola, na muvika neenza. Muku tekeleza kwali nikwamuha kunyelwa kukando, imi namuzuwisisa chakusanga.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.

21Linu nikwasika mukwa Heroda hava ni luzuva lwakuzalwa kakwe ni chatenda mulalilo ni manduna vakwe, ni vayendisi venkondo, nivakulwana vamwa Galileya.On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.

22Mwana a Herodiasi wa mukazana iyemwine neza ni kuvazanina, nicha sangisa Heroda niva vayenzi vakwe vavasumpwa. Simwine naati kumukazana, “Nikumbiire chimwi nichimwi chosaka imi municikuhe.”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.”

23Chakoonka kwali naati, “Chonse chete ukumbire kwangu, munichi kuhe, ku sika hakati kepuso yangu.”And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”

24Naya hanze nichakati kuvanyina, “Chinzi chete nimukumbiire?” Nacho, “Mutwi wa Johani Mukolovezi,”Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”

25Hohwaho nenjila chokuhwela kwa simwine ni kukumbiira, naati, “Nisaka kuti unihe hahanu, hakagwetere, mutwi wa Johani Mukolovezi”.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.”

26Nihakuva kuti ichi chiva sasamisi simwine, kana avali kuwola kumukanina chava kumbiiri kevaka lya kulikonka kwava tendi nicha veene vakwe.The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.

27Imi simwine cha tuma isole yozwa kuvaganteri ni kumulaera kumuletela mutwi wa Johani. Muganteri nayenda kuka mu kosola mutwi muntolongo.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.

28Naaleta mutwi wakwe hakagwetere niku uha mukazana, mi mukazana chauha vanyina.The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.

29Mi varutwana vakwe, chokuzuwa ichi, chivakeza nikuhinda muviri ni kuka u uunga mwikuumbu.When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.

30Mi vapositola, chivakungana kuzimbuluka Jesu, ku muwambira zonse zivava kapangi ni kuruta.Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.

31Ni chata kuvali, “Mwize muzwe muvene muye muchivaka chisena vaantu ni kukapumula inakozana.” Mukuti vuungi vuvakwiza ni kuyenda, imi kena vavawani nanga inako yokulya.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.

32Imi nivayenda muchikepe muchivaka chisena vaantu avoveene.So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.

33Kono vava vavoni havakatuka mi vuungi ni bwaveziva, nivatilila kwateni hamwiina chamatende kuzwa mwitoropo yonse, ni kukasika lwentanzi kwavo.But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.

34Havasika herizo, chavona chinavuungi imi chava niinse havali kakuti vavali kukola sina imberere zisena mulisi. Nichatanga kuvaruta zintu zingi.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.

35Chitengwaana, varutwana vakwe niveza kwali nikucho, “Ichi chivaka kachina vaantu nikuti cheli chitengu.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.

36Uvatumine valiyendeze munkanda zina havubbali ni muminzi kuka liulila zakulya avoveene.”Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

37Kono netava ni kucho kuvali, “Inwe muvahe zakulya.” Chiva cho kwali, “Tuwola kukawula inkoko ya mali a mianda yovere nikwiza kuvaha valye?”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?”

38Nacho kuvali, “Zongai ziinkwa zimukwete? Muyende mukavone.” Hava sakisisa, nivaati, “Ziinkwa zimana iyanza ninswi zovere.”“Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.”

39Chalaera vaantu vonse kwikala hansi halyani iteke.Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.

40Niveekala muzikwata; zikwata za myandanda ni makumi ahinda iyanza.So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

41Chahinda ziikwa zimana iyanza ni nswi zovere, nalolele kwiwulu nafuyola niku gamoona ziinkwa nikuziha ku varutwana kuka zininzika havusu vwavaantu. Nicha yavelela inswi zovere mukati kavo voonse.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.

42Voonse vavaali mbwita havekuta.They all ate and were satisfied,

43Chivahinda vufwafwaali bwa ziinkwa, nikwizuza ziseye zikwana ikumi nizovere, ni vufwafwali bwenswi.and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.

44Mi vavali vaantu vatenda lule luhinde yanza vavaali ziinkwa.And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.

45Hohwaho nachita kuti varutwana vakwe vechile muchikepe vahitile havusu vwake kuya kuimwi imbali, kwa Bethesaida, naatumina chinavuungi kuyenda.Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.

46Chinga vayenda, nayenda herundu kuku lapera.After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray.

47Masiku nieza, imi chikepe chichivena hakati kewate, imi aveena yenke hamutunda.When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land.

48Imi navona kuti vavakwina muvukukutu vukando havati chivaka zuhila kwina luhuho luva kuvalwisa. Munako ya vuune yakuiza neza kuvali, nakavuyenda hewate, imi asake nava hite silubbali.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,

49Kono haba muvona ukavuyenda hewulu lyewate, niva zeza kuti isaku niva huwa, mane chiva tanga ku huwa,but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost—

50kakuti vavamuboni mi vavasuhite. Imi hohyaho chawamba kuvali nikuvata kuti, “Mulikoze! Jeme! Kanji mutiyi!”for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

51Nenjila muchikepe navo, imi luhuho chilwa siya kuhunga. Imi nivakomokwa.Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,

52Mukuti kena vavazuwisisi kuti chiinkwa chitalusa nzi. Imi, inkulo zavo nizakukutuhazwa.for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.

53Hachiva luutila mwishilya, chiva sika muchivaka Genesereti ni vasiika chikepe.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.

54Hava zuvuka muchikepe, hahobulyo niva mulemuha.As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus

55Nichiva tirira muchikiliti chonse nikutanga kukaleta valwele kwali hamasasa, konse kuvava kuzuwa kuti kwakezite.and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.

56Konse mwavali kwinjira muminzi, kamba mileneñi, kamba munkanda, vava kuvikanga valwele muzibaka zamauzikizo, imi vavali kumu kumbira kuti avazuminine nanga kuwonda kumpera yachizwato chakwe. Imi vuungi vwavo vava kumu kwata vavahozwa.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.
