Mark 6 (YAF) · Opened

1Ha kákatuka hakana, wenda ku mbanza yina kákodila; amana balonguki bandi bámulanda.Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples.

2Tangwa kyáfwana kilumbu kya sabata, wáyandika mu kulonga muna nzu ya kimvuka ya Bayuta. Batu balawu bana bakala hinikina, báyituka lawu. Beka dihyula: «Ku biki mamutukidi mamana? Khi mutindu wa mudimu wana bámuheka? Abweti biphadi bya mutindu wuna bifwani kusalamina mu moku mandi?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?

3Ka yandi ku musadi wa mabaya, mwana wa Madiya, phangi wa Zyaki, Zoze, Yuta, yi Simoni? Baphangi bandi ba bakhetu benahoku ha kati dya betu?» Kákala kisinza kikuma kya bawu.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 kakala bazimbwala: «Mbikudi bisiku mukanda lukumu, kaasi kisiku lumina mu tsi yandi yi muna kikanda kyandi.»Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

5Yesu kalendaku kusala keti kiphadi kimosi kwakuna, kaasi kábuka lwesi ndambu ya bambefu mu kubathetika moku.So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.

6Kakala yituka kikuma kya kukonda kwa lukwikilu kwa batu ba ku tsi yandi. Kunima kakala kangala muna mahata ma kinzunga mu kulongaka.And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.

7Buna kátela bawu kumi yi bodi, wáyandika mu kubatuma bodi-bodi yi kubaheka hamu hana thandu ya bitembu bya mbi.Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.

8Wábaheka mutsiku wawu: «Lunataku kima mu nzila, koka lwesi; keti dipha, keti waba, keti dikuta dya phalata muna khola.He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—

9Vwatenu tsabatu, kaasi lunataku bikutu byodi.»and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.

10Kakala bazimbwala hika: «Muna nzu yina lwakóta, kalenu mwamuna kilumbu yi kuna lwakátwakila homa meni hana.And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.

11Amana yukani batu babusa mu kuluyamba keti mu kuluhinikina, mu kukatuka hana meni, khukumunenu fusyangeni dya bitambi byenu: kyakála kimbangi kikuma kya 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.”

12Amana buna bénda balonguki, bálonga kwena batu ni mboti babalumuna mbundu.So they set out and preached that the people should repent.

13Bakala kukwasa bitembu bya mbi lawu yi kusita masi kwena bambefu amana bakala kola.They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.

14Kinga kyamvu Eloti wáyuka buna yakala kwenda khumbu ya Yesu khululuka. Bahika bakala zimbula: «Yowani, wuna wakala botika, wufutumuki ha kati dya bafwa! Hahana kenina yi ngolu za kuhangila biphadi.»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.”

15Bahika bakala zimbula: «Yandu Diya.» Bahika phi: «Yandu mosi wa bambikudi bana bakhulu.»Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

16Kaasi Eloti mu kuyuka bwabuna, kakala zimbula: «Yowani wuna yibukwasa meni mutwa, yandi wufutumukini!»But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”

17Mukuma yandi-meni Eloti wámukwatisa Yowani, wámukasisa miyololu mu boloku. Kikuma kya Elodyadi, mukhetu wa Fidiphu, phangi wandi wa yakala, wuna kákwela.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.

18Kikuma Yowani kakala zimbula kwena Eloti: «Wulungiku mu kukwela mukhetu wa phangi waku!»For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”

19Elodyadi kikudi-kudi kya Yowani kákala kyawu amana kakala zola ni kamuhondisa. Kaasi kakalaku lenda.So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable,

20Mukuma Eloti bweya bwa Yowani kákala bwawu, bwosu kázaya ni mutu wa masonga yi watoma kákala amana kakala musweka. Tangwa kakala muyuka, kakalaku mona kima kya kuhanga; kinga kakala muhinikina yi tsambu.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.

21Kaasi phila yámonika mu kilumbu kya mukinzi wa lubutuku lwa Eloti, kásadisa mukinzi kikuma kya batu bandi ba luzitu yi bapfumu ba baphumbulu yi bapfumu ba mahata ma kinzunga kya Ngadidi.On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.

22Mwana wandi wa mukhetu, Elodyadi, wákota hana mbasi amana wákina; Eloti yi batu bana kátedisa bwábasephidisa lawu. Kyamvu wázimbula kwena mwana wa mukhetu: «Ndomba kyosu kina wuzodini, amana yikúhekakya.»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.”

23Hanga wudi ndefi ya mukwandi kwena mwana wa mukhetu: «Kina wandómba, yikuhekakya keti kyati kya kipfumu kyama.»And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”

24Mwana wa mukhetu wálubuka amana wázimbula kwena ngudi wandi: «Biki yilómba?» Yandu-yandu wávutula: «Mutwa wa Yowani, wuna wakala botika.»Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”

25Mwana wa mukhetu wénda tswasu kwena kyamvu mu kumulomba: «Nzodi ni wapheka, buthwena meni bwabu, ha dilonga, mutwa wa Yowani Mubotiki.»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.”

26Kyamvu Eloti wáyuka kiwayi kya lawu; kaasi, kikuma kya ndefi yina kádya ku thwala ya babana kátedisa, kázolaku mu kumutuna.The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.

27Muna mbala mosi, kyamvu wátuma tsinzidi mosi yi muswa wa kunata mutwa wa Yowani. Tsinzidi wenda mubukuna Yowani mutwa muna boloku.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.

28Kunima wisa nata mutwa wandi hana dilonga. Wáhanawa kwena mwana wa mukhetu, amana mwana wa mukhetu wáhanawa kwena ngudi wandi.The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.

29Buna báyuka musamu wuna, balonguki ba Yowani, bisa bonga mvumbi yandi amana bázikaya muna mazyamu.When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.

30Bathumwa bákutakana kuna kakala Yesu, bámumenikina mambu moosu mana báhanga yi moosu mana bálonga.Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.

31Hanga wubazimbwadini: «Alwisenu ku phungamu, homa hamosi hakálaku batu, amana lwalembwa koma.» Mukuma lawu bakala kwisa yi kukwendaka, amana bawu bakalaku keti tangwa dya 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.

32Bahanga bakoti mu masuwa ndangu benda ku phungamu, kuma kumosi kwa talala.So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.

33Balawu bábamona mu kukwenda amana bábabakula mu mahata moosu ma kinzunga muna bakala kwenda. Bakala takula mu malu, amana bakala bakesidila kuna thwala.But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.

34Tangwa kátuluka Yesu mu masuwa, wámona mulumba-lumba wa batu lawu; kiwayi kyámukwata, kikuma bákala hanga mikoku mikondi kalema. Amana wáyandika mu kubalonga mambu ma lawu.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.

35Buna kwáyila kuma, balonguki bandi bisa muzimbwala: «Homa thwenina ha tseki, kuma phi kuyidini.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.

36Basula batu, ndangu benda muna mafedime yi muna mahata ma kinzunga, ndangu badisumbila bima bya kudya.»Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

37Kaasi Yesu wubavutwadini: «Bahekenu benu-benu madya.» Bawu bamuzimbwadini: «Thwenda sumba mapha ma khama zodi za phata ndangu thwisa badisila?»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?”

38Yandi wubahyudini: «Alwenda taleti, mapha makwa lwenina mawu?» Kunima dya kuzikisa, bávutula: «Mapha matanu yi batsema bodi.»“Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.”

39Hanga wubasendi ni babazakadisa boosu mu bibuka muna mwangu watsi.Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.

40Amana batu bázakala mu bibuka bya khama yi bya makumatanu.So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

41Wátambula mapha mawu matanu yi batsema bawu bodi, wásekula mesu kuna zilu, wuvutudini matondu kwena Nzambi. Wábukuna mapha amana wáhanama kwena balonguki bandi; ndangu bakabisama. Wákabisa phi batsema bawu bodi hana kati dya bawu boosu.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.

42Boosu bádya amana báyukuta.They all ate and were satisfied,

43Amana balonguki bánata bitunga kumi yi byodi bya bitini bya mapha yi bya batsema.and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.

44Babana bádya mapha bákala mafunda matanu ma bayakala.And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.

45Muna tangwa meni dina, kunima wásenda balonguki bandi bakota mu masuwa amana bamutekidilaka kuna sambwa dya Betisayita, kithama kina kasúdila yandi-meni mulumba-lumba wa batu.Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.

46Kunima dya kubasula, wenda ku mongu kikuma kya kulombila.After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray.

47Ha yábwa phipha, masuwa makala matudi kedi ha kati kya yanga dya mbuta. Yesu yandi buhika kákala muna mafu.When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land.

48Mu kumona ni balonguki bandi mu phasi bakala sabwakila, mukuma pfunzi yakala bakakidikisa; muna khoku wa theti, Yesu wísa kwena bawu mu kukangala hana yanga dya mbuta, hanga wuna wabahita.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,

49Tangwa bámumona kukangala ha thandu ya yanga dya mbuta, bakala banza ni kiphedikisa amana báyandika mu kukalunga;but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost—

50mukuma bakala mumona bawu boosu amana mabanza mabavwalangana. Muna mbala mosi, Yesu wázonza kwena bawu: «Kalenu yi kikesa, meni yandu, luyukaku bweya!»for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

51Kunima wákota muna masuwa ha kimosi yi bawu, amana pfunzi yálembama. Báyituka lawu, mwena bawu meniThen He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,

52mukuma bábakisaku keti kima kikuma kiphadi kina kya mapha: mbundu za bawu zitu zákala.for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.

53Buna bámanisa mu kusabuka, bátula ku Ngenezaleti amana bátuluka mu mafu.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.

54Buna bátuluka mu masuwa, batu bámubakula Yesu.As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus

55Batu bátuka mu kinzunga meni kina kyosu amana báyandika mu kunata bambefu hana biphoyu, mwosu muna bakala muyukila khululuka.and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.

56Mwosu muna kakala kota Yesu, mahata, mbanza, keti mu mafedime, batu bakala sikula bambefu muna mbasi yi kumubokwadilaka ni kabayambwadila ndangu balenga simba keti nzenzi ya muledi wandi. Amana bambefu boosu bana bakalaya simba, bákola.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.
