Mark 6 (YNS) · Opened

1Yɛsu kàlwomà kà ikal akin, waa kan'yà bul ande, alɔŋki ande bàkäl mukun'lab.Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples.

2Ilä a saba, nde kàsɛmà mulɔŋ u ndwà a nköŋ a Ayudà. Baar mbɔɔn bàweemà nde bàkäl mubem, waa bàtɛɛnà naa: « Nde indiir abi byan'fà ken? Amà an'yeerà a nkye ifà bun'pɛ, waa an'kɔɔ ande ikakyerà isal a ngwal a ngwal a tub abi?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?

3Nkye nde kà sharpantye anki, mwan a Màlye, un'tɔŋ a Zyak, anà Yɔsɛ, anà Yude, anà Simɔn? Nkye atɔŋ ande bakaar kà bà anki uboo a bi apà? » Kyakin bàbööl ba kyà ntɔn làkwikilà aba.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.

4Apan Yɛsu kàtɛɛnà a ba naa: « Ŋangɔɔm bàfun'bɛy nà u bul ande, u mbil ande anà u ndwà ande mpɛl. »Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

5Nde kàsàkwo anki mukyer akà impà mwɛy kwo, wɛɛ nde kàsi nà an'kɔɔ udu a ndam a aŋatoo, waa kakɔɔr.So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.

6Nde kàbemà ntɔn mpa bàkäl ba anà làkwikilà. Ungö apan nde kàyilyaaŋà kan'bul a tsütsü muyilɔŋ.And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.

7Nde kàbel Bàkwem Aŋiyweel, kàsɛmà mukatɔm abɔ̈ɔ̈l abɔ̈ɔ̈l, kapɛ ikɔ̈b udu a an'dweelà an'be,Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.

8waa kaswɛŋ naa: « Twon lan'wal akà undiir mwɛy ntɔn mbwo, nà unsɔk mpɛl. Twon lan'wal isaa adyà, itàkal ngɔɔr, itàkal ngim uboo a un'di,He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—

9wɛɛ làbwäär idyaar, twon lan'bwaar an'kàzak an'mɔ̈ɔ̈l. »and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.

10Nde kàfàtɛn a ba naa: « Isàkal naa kà ikal imwɛy, bɛ lan'bilà u ndwà mwɛy, làbwaay paa tii umpal làsàlwomà bɛ kà ikal akin.And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.

11Isàkal naa kà ikal imwɛy bàlawɛl anki, bàlawem anki, làlwomà apan, làkɔɔb un'twà a in'kɔl abɛ. Kya isàkal imbäl ntɔn ba. »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.”

12Alɔŋki bàkyen ba, ba bàkyäänà naa baar bàkyer abuul mpem.So they set out and preached that the people should repent.

13Ba bàyiböŋà insɔŋà mbɔɔn, bàkiirà aŋatoo mbɔɔn may, waa bakɔɔrà.They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.

14Mfum Ɛlɔdi kàwem naa bàtaa Yɛsu din, ntɔn ikɔb ande kyàtoo làpaan. Baar bàtɛɛnà naa: « Ywan Un'düümà kan'wiyà kukwà! Undiir awun awà nde anà ikɔ̈b mukyer indiir a ngwal a ngwal. »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.”

15Bumwɛy bàtɛɛnà naa: « Nde wà Ɛli. » Bamwey sye naa: « Nde wà ŋangɔɔm asànaa umwɛy uboo a aŋangɔɔm. »Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

16Mpal kàwem Ɛlɔdi ndaa ayi, nde kàtɛɛnà naa: « Ywan akwà kàtsül mɛ un'tswe, kan'wiyà! »But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”

17Abun, Ɛlɔdi kàswɛŋ mukɔr Ywan anà bun'si u bɔlokà, ntɔn kàbääl nde Ɛlɔdyas awà kàkäl un'kyay a un'tɔŋ ande Filipo.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.

18Ntɔn Ywan kàtɛɛnà a Ɛlɔdi naa: « Mbwo yatɛy ngye muwal un'kyay a un'tɔŋ angye! »For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”

19Undiir awun Ɛlɔdyas kàyiiŋ nde Ywan, waa kàkweenà mukun'dwa. Wɛɛ nde kàsàkwo anki,So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable,

20ntɔn Ɛlɔdi kàtiinà Ywan bɔɔmà, abà kàyöb nde naa nde wà mbuur a balàbal anà wà in'kyɛɛl, laa kun'tii nde. Mpal kun'wɛɛmà nde, ya yun'pää mpay mbɔɔn. Wɛɛ nde kàkweenà mukun'wɛm.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.

21Kyekà, Ɛlɔdyas ipöl aŋàbwaŋ kàmɛn ilä a un'kyɔm a mböör a Ɛlɔdi. Nde awà kàpɛ udyà akà ayɔl ande anà amfum a aŋità ande, anà akà abyääl a Ngalilɛ.On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.

22Mwan a Ɛlɔdyas wà un'kaar waa kàyàkyen. Ɛlɔdi anà baar kàbel nde bàmɛn un'sak mbɔɔn. Mfum kàtɛn a mwan un'kaar naa: « Lɔm undiir wanswà akwen ngye, mɛ in'kyer ayapà wa. »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.”

23Nde kun'dyeel kyän naa: « Undiir wanswà ayàlɔm ngye, mɛ in'kyɛr ayapà, itàkal naa yar a mɛɛn a imfum amɛ.And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”

24Mwan un'kaar kàtoo u ndwà, waa kàtɛn a ngwän naa: « Ininà mɛ in'lɔm? » Nde waa kàfuur naa: « Un'tswe a Ywan Un'düümà. »Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”

25Nde kàfurà agyägyä akà mfum, waa kun'lɔ̈ɔ̈m: « Mɛ in'kwen naa ngye an'pɛ agyägyä udu a làlɔŋà, un'tswe a Ywan Un'düümà! »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.”

26Mfum kàwem ngyɛb. Wɛɛ, ntɔn kyän ande anà baar kàbel nde, nde kàkwen anki utön mukun'pà.The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.

27Apan sye, mfum kàtöm un'seey mwɛy anà nswɛɛŋ mutwal un'tswe a Ywan Un'düümà. Un'seey kàkyen u bɔlokà, waa kàtsül un'tswe a Ywan,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.

28kàtwääl wa udu a làlɔŋà, waa kàpɛ wa akà mwan un'kaar. Waa mwan un'kaar kàpɛ wa akà ngwän.The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.

29Mpal bàwem alɔŋki a Ywan làsaŋ alan, ba bàyàwal ndom ande, waa bàsi ya kan'dii mwɛy.When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.

30Yàmɛnà naa mpal bàyàfurà antööm, ba bàkɔ̈ŋ apà Yɛsu, ba bun'sam ndaa yanswà bàkyer ba anà bàlɔɔŋà ba.Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.

31Nde kàtɛn a ba naa: « Bɛ bumwɛy, làyi u mpey, làyöör ikye u nsye a ipɔl. » Ntɔn baar mbɔɔn bàkälà muyaa anà mukyeenà, waa ba bàkäl anki itàkal anà taaŋ mudyà.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.

32Lalan bàkyen ba, ba mpɛl, uboo a bwaar u mpey, u nsye a ipɔl.So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.

33Baar batääl mukyà, bàmbɔɔn laa bayöb ba. Apan, fà an'bul manswà, ba bàkyen ntiin ntiin kà in'kɔl, waa bàfweel kà ikal bàkwen ba mukyà.But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.

34Umpal katoo Yɛsu u bwaar, nde kàmɛn un'sɛŋ a baar mbɔɔn, ngyɛb waa yun'wɛl ntɔn ba, ntɔn ba bàkäl asànaa in'kɔk myakɔɔn aleer, waa kàsɛmà mukalɔŋ indiir mbɔɔn.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.

35Taaŋ làkyen mbɔɔn, alɔŋki bàsin apà Yɛsu, waa bàtɛn a nde naa: « Ikal ki kyà ipɔl, taaŋ sye lan'kyà mbɔɔn.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.

36Afuur baar bà, ba bàkyà u bitsuŋ a ndwà anà an'bul a tsütsü mukàsom isaa adyà. »Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

37Wɛɛ nde kafuur naa: « Lapɛ udyà bɛ ŋakwo! » Ba bàtɛn a nde naa: « Nkye bi ikàsom mampà a itɛr a ngim nkam yweel ntɔn bi ipɛ ba udyà? »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?”

38Nde waa utɛn a ba naa: « Mampà an'kwe bɛ làwe amà? Kàlaler! » Ungö muler, ba ban'tɛn naa: « An'tyeen, anà nsö yweel. »“Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.”

39Apan, nde kaswɛŋ naa ba bàsi baar banswà unsà an'kab bàŋàbwaay udu a un'lɛŋ un'bu.Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.

40Baar bàbwaay unsà in'lwaaŋ a nkam anà myà an'kwem an'tyeen.So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

41Yɛsu kàwɛl mampà man'tyeen anà nsö yàyweel, nde kàler u du, kàsaak ma, kàtsül ma, waa kàpɛ akalɔŋki ntɔn mukääb baar banswà.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.

42Ba banswà bàdi, waa bàyüür.They all ate and were satisfied,

43Ba bàsyen in'lwaŋ kwem aŋiyweel myàŋàyɔl a itiir a mampà anà byà nsö byàsäl.and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.

44Baar bàdi mampà bàkäl abaal nsaab tyeen.And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.

45Apan sye, Yɛsu kàswɛŋ alɔŋki ande mubilà u bwaar anà mufweel kusà a nde, u sim a ɛwà lumwɛy, u ntsü a Bɛtesayidà, umpal nde ŋakwo usàpay nde un'sɛŋ a baar.Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.

46Ungö mupay ba, nde kàbeenà u mɔŋ mukàyamà.After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray.

47Làsisye, bwaar làkäl lan'tol uboboo a ɛwà, nde kàsàkal nde mpɛl u mɛɛn.When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land.

48Muman naa alɔŋki ande bàmunwan a ngwal muluk nkay ntɔn un'pöb kàyee lisà, tsütsü a taaŋtyà, nde kan'yà mper akà ba wàmuyikyà udu a ɛwà, waa kàlasoonà.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,

49Mpal bun'mɛn ba wàmuyikyà udu a ɛwà, ba bàsi naa bwo kàkäl, waa bàsi in'kwɛŋ.but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost—

50Ntɔn ba banswà bàkyer un'man, lingyoomà waa lawɛl. Wɛɛ apan, nde kàyäm anà ba, waa kàtɛn a ba naa: « Làwɛl ibaal! Wà mɛ, twon lan'man bɔɔmà! »for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

51Apan, nde kàbilà u bwaar apà ba, un'pöb waa kànye. Uboo a ba ŋakwo, ba bàbemà mbɔɔn.Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,

52Kutɛn aŋàbwaŋ, ba bàsàyöb anki mbuul a impà a mampà, ntɔn mpem aba yàkäl bwoor.for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.

53Ungö a nsaabà, ba bàtɔlà u mɛɛn a Ngɛnɛsàlɛr, waa bàbäm bwaar aba.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.

54Pa bàtoo ba u bwaar, baar waa bàyöb Yɛsu,As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus

55waa bàkyen ntiin kà itiir a nsi akin kyanswà, waa bàsɛmà mukun'twääl aŋukyal udu a ipɔy kà ikal kyanswà bàweemà ba naa Yɛsu wà kwo.and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.

56Ntsü yanswà kàbilà nde: uboo an'bul itàkal an'bul a kölàköl, itàkal kà itsuŋ a ndwà, baar bàtɔ̈ɔ̈là aŋukyal u làbay, waa bun'bɔ̈ɔ̈nà naa nde kawɛy ba bàbä itàkal làpan a ipfɛy ande mpɛl. Abun baar abà bàtɛɛ kya mpi bàkyer akɔɔrà.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.
