Mark 6
1 Jesus tua mun pan in pai a, Ama khua ah theng hi; a nungzui te in zui uh hi.
On leaving that place, Jesus, followed by his disciples, went to his own part of the country.
2 Sabbath ni a thet ciang in, synagogue sung ah thuhil kipan hi: a za mi tampi te lamdangsa in, hi thu te koisung pan in nga ziam? ama tung ah a ki pia pilna sia bang pilna ziam, bangbang in vanglian nasep te a khut taw seam thei ziam? ci uh hi.
When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the Synagogue; and the people, as they listened, were deeply impressed. “Where did he get this?” they said, “and what is this wisdom that has been given him? and these miracles which he is doing?
3 Ama sia Mary tapa, James, Joses, Judah le Simon te suapuipa, lettama pa hi ngawl ziam? a suapui numei te zong ziak ma ah om hi ngawl ziam? ci in, a sang thei bua uh hi.
Is not he the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? And are not his sisters, too, living here among us?” This proved a hindrance to their believing in him;
4 Ahihang Jesus in amate tung ah, Kamsang khat sia ama khua, mealheak suapui le, ama inn simngawl mundang ah ki upat hi, ci hi.
on which Jesus said: “A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and among his own relations, and in his own home.”
5 Tua mun ah cina tawm te tung ah a khut nga in a damsak simngawl, a vanglian nasep dang bangma seam thei ngawl hi.
And he could not work any miracle there, beyond placing his hands upon a few infirm persons, and curing them;
6 Amate up ngawl na hang in Jesus in lamdangsa hi. Taciang ama a kiim a pam khuapi te ah pai in thuhil hi.
and he wondered at the want of faith shown by the people. Jesus went round the villages, one after another, teaching.
7 A nungzui sawmleni te a kung ah sam a, ni tek in sawl hi; doai ngilo te zo tu in vangletna pia hi;
He called the Twelve to him, and began to send them out as his Messengers, two and two, and gave them authority over foul spirits.
8 A khualhaw na mun uh ah ciangkhut bek keng tu a; thung, anluum le sumbawm sung ah sum te keng ngawl in:
He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey — not even bread, or a bag, or pence in their purse;
9 Peangdap bul tu le; laktong sil ni keng ngawl tu in thupia hi.
but they were to wear sandals, and not to put on a second coat.
10 Ama te kung ah, Na tum na uh inn ah tua mun pan na paikik uh dong, tam vun.
“Whenever you go to stay at a house,” he said, “remain there till you leave that place;
11 A kuapo a hi zong note hong sang nuam ngawl le na thu uh a ngai nuam ngawl peuma tua mun pan na pusua kik uh ciang in, amate langpan tu tetti tu in na peang leihui thin vun. A tatak kong ci ciang, thukhenna ni ciang in tua khuapi sang in Sodom le Gomorah te thuakna thuak nop zaw lai tu hi, ci hi.
and if a place does not welcome you, or listen to you, as you go out of it shake off the dust that is on the soles of your feet, as a protest against them.”
12 Amate pai uh a, mihing te ki sikkik tu in thuhil uh hi.
So they set out, and proclaimed the need of repentance.
13 Amate in doai ngilo tampi hawlkhia uh a, cina tampi te zong sathau zut in damsak uh hi.
They drove out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were infirm, and cured them.
14 Jesus sia muntheampo ah a minthang a, Herod kumpipa in a thu a zakciang in; tuiphumpa John thina pan thokik hi, tua hang in a vanglian nasep te lak thei hi, ci hi.
Now King Herod heard of Jesus; for his name had become well known. People were saying — “John the Baptizer must have risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are active in him.”
15 A dangte in Elijah hi, ci uh hi. A dang te in kamsang khat hi, a hibale kamsang sung pan khat papo hi, ci uh hi.
Others again said — “He is Elijah,” and others — “He is a Prophet, like one of the great Prophets.”
16 Ahihang Herod in a zakciang in, hi thu sia a ngawng ka tan John thina pan thokik hi, ci hi.
But when Herod heard of him, he said — “The man whom I beheaded — John — he must be risen!”
17 Herod in a nau Philip i zi Herodias sia tenpui a, tua Herodias thu hang in, ama vateak in mi sawl a, John man in thong ah khum hi.
For Herod himself had sent and arrested John, and put him in prison, in chains, to please Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because Herod had married her.
18 John in Herod kung ah, na naupa zi na tenpui sia ngeina om ngawl hi, a ci hang a hihi.
For John had said to Herod — “You have no right to be living with your brother’s wife.”
19 Tua ahikom Herodias in John mu thei ngawl in that nuam napi; that thei ngawl hi:
So Herodias was incensed against John, and wanted to put him to death, but was unable to do so,
20 Banghangziam cile Herod in John sia mi thutang le mithiangtho hi, ci a heak hang in lau hi, ama in keamcing in, a sep sa tampi te lungdamtak in ngai hi.
because Herod stood in fear of John, knowing him to be an upright and holy man, and protected him. He had listened to John, but still remained much perplexed, and yet he found pleasure in listening to him.
21 Hunpha a thet ciang in, Herod in a suani ah, ama i to te, ngalkapmang te le Galilee ngam uk ulian te atu in nitak an vak hi;
A suitable opportunity, however, occurred when Herod, on his birthday, gave a dinner to his high officials, and his generals, and the foremost men in Galilee.
22 Herodias i ta nu tum in, a lap ciang, Herod le a kiim a to te a lungkimsak mama hi, tua ahikom kumpipa in ngaknu nu kung ah, na dei theampo hong ngen tan, kong pia tu hi, ci hi.
And when his daughter — that is, the daughter of Herodias — came in and danced, she delighted Herod and those who were dining with him. “Ask me for whatever you like,” the King said to the girl, “and I will give it to you”;
23 Nong nget theampo, ka kumpingam a lang a hi zong kong pia tu hi, ci in kamciam hi.
and he swore to her that he would give her whatever she asked him — up to half his kingdom.
24 Tasiaciang ngaknu nu a nu kung ah pai a, bang ka ngen tu ziam? ci hi. A nu in, tuiphumpa John lu ngen in, ci hi.
The girl went out, and said to her mother “What must I ask for?” “The head of John the Baptizer,’ answered her mother.
25 Ngaknu nu hongpai kik pai in, kumpipa kung ah tuiphumpa John i lu sia pakandal sung ah a manlang in nong piak tu ka dei hi, ci in ngen hi.
So she went in as quickly as possible to the King, and made her request. “I want you,” she said, “to give me at once, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist.”
26 Kumpipa sia khuangai mama hi kale; a kamciam na sa le a kiim a to te hang in, ngaknu nu nget na nial ngam ngawl hi.
The King was much distressed; yet, on account of his oath and of the guests at his table, he did not like to refuse her.
27 Taciang kumpipa in mihing that te khat sawl in paisak pai a, John lu puak tu in thupia hi: taciang mihing that pa pai a, thonginn sung ah John ngawng tan hi,
He immediately dispatched one of his bodyguard, with orders to bring John’s head. The man went and beheaded John in the prison,
28 Taciang pakandal taw a lu puak a, ngaknu nu pia hi: taciang ngaknu nu in a nu pia hi.
and, bringing his head on a dish, gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
29 Tua thu John nungzui te in a zak ciang in, amate hongpai uh a, a luanghawm la in than ah vui uh hi.
When John’s disciples heard of it, they came and took his body away, and laid it in a tomb.
30 Sawltakte Jesus kung ah hong ki kaikhawm uh a, amate i vawt te le a thuhil na uh theampo son uh hi.
When the Apostles came back to Jesus, they told him all that they had done and all that they had taught.
31 Jesus in amate tung ah hibang in ci hi, Hongpai tavun, senneal sung ah a tuam in tawmvei tawlnga tawng, ci hi: banghangziam cile a pai le a cia mihing tam mama a, amate anneak hun zong nei ngawl hi.
“Come by yourselves privately to some lonely spot,” he said, “and rest for a while” — for there were so many people coming and going that they had not time even to eat.
32 Taciang amate ngunkuang taw a tuam in senneal sang ah pai uh hi.
So they set off privately in their boat for a lonely spot.
33 Mipi te in amate pai a mu uh ciang in, mi tampi in Ama he uh ahikom, khuapi theampo sung pan in peang taw hongpai tek uh a, amate kantan in, a kung ah hongpai uh hi.
And many people saw them going, and recognised them, and from all the towns they flocked together to the place on foot, and got there before them.
34 Jesus hong pusua ciang in, mitampi a mu ciang, a cing nei ngawl tuuhon taw kibang uh ahikom khuangaihuai sa hi: taciang amate thu tampi hil kipan hi.
On getting out of the boat, Jesus saw a great crowd, and his heart was moved at the sight of them, because they were ‘like sheep without a shepherd’; and he began to teach them many things.
35 Nitak sang ciang in a nungzui te a kung ah hongpai a, hi mun sia senneal ngam hi, khua zong niam zo hi:
When it grew late, his disciples came up to him, and said: “This is a lonely spot, and it is already late.
36 Amate paisak in a, kiim le pam khua tatuam ah pai in, amate neak tu anluum lei tahen: banghangziam cile amate neak tu bangma nei ngawl hi, ci hi.
Send the people away, so that they may go to the farms and villages around and buy themselves something to eat.”
37 Jesus in, Note in amate neak tu pia vun, ci in zo kik hi. Taciang amate in, koma pai in dangka za ni man an lei in, amate neak tu pia tu hong sawl ni ziam? ci uh hi.
But Jesus answered: “It is for you to give them something to eat.” “Are we to go and buy twenty pounds’ worth of bread,” they asked, “to give them to eat?”
38 Jesus in, Anluum bangza nei nu ziam? pai vun a en vun, ci hi. Amate in a heak uh ciang, lum nga le ngasa ni, ci uh hi.
“How many loaves have you?” he asked; “Go, and see.” When they had found out, they told him: “Five, and two fishes.”
39 Jesus in a vekpi in lopa hing tung ah a hon a hon in to tu in thupia hi.
Jesus directed them to make all the people take their seats on the green grass, in parties;
40 Taciang amate, pawlkhat zakhat, pawlkhat sawm nga ci bang in a hon a hon in to tek uh hi.
and they sat down in groups — in hundreds, and in fifties.
41 Jesus in anluum nga le ngasa ni te a lak zawkciang in, vandak to a, thupha a piak zawkciang, anluum te bal in, a nungzui te mai ah lui hi; ngasa ni te zong amate theampo hawmsak hi.
Taking the five loaves and the two fishes, Jesus looked up to Heaven, and said the blessing; he broke the loaves into pieces, and gave them to his disciples for them to serve out to the people, and he divided the two fishes also among them all.
42 Amate theampo in ngilva tak in ne tek uh hi.
Every one had sufficient to eat;
43 Amate in anluum le ngasa a val te tawm uh a, bawm sawm le bawm ni dim hi.
and they picked up enough broken pieces to fill twelve baskets, as well as some of the fish.
44 Anlum a ne teng pasal tul nga kiim pha uh hi.
The men who ate the bread were five thousand in number.
45 Mipite a ciasak uh laitak in, a nungzui te ngunkuang sung ah tumsak pai in, ngalkhat Bethsaida ah paikholsak hi.
Immediately afterwards Jesus made his disciples get into the boat, and cross over in advance, in the direction of Bethsaida, while he himself was dismissing the crowd.
46 Amate a paisak zawkciang in, mualtung ah thungen tu in pai hi.
After he had taken leave of the people, he went away up the hill to pray.
47 Nitak sang ciang in, ngunkuang sia tuili laizang ah om a, Jesus ama nguak mualtung ah om hi.
When evening fell, the boat was out in the middle of the Sea, and Jesus on the shore alone.
48 Amate sang ah hui hongpai ahikom a nungzui te in ngunkuang sia haksa tak in hot uh hi: zingsang nai thum le nai luk ki laklaw kiim in, Jesus amate tung ah tuili tung ah lampai in, amate kantan tu bang in kithoai hi.
Seeing them labouring at the oars — for the wind was against them — about three hours after midnight Jesus came towards them, walking on the water, intending to join them.
49 Ahihang amate in tui tung ah a lampai a mu uh ciang in, thitha sa in, au ngawp uh hi.
But, when they saw him walking on the water, they thought it was a ghost, and cried out;
50 Banghangziam cile a vekpi in mu uh a, amate lungmang mama uh hi. Tasia pociang Jesus in amate paupui a, Thinnuam in om vun: Keima khi hi; lau heak vun, ci hi.
for all of them saw him, and were terrified. But Jesus at once spoke to them. “Courage!” he said, “it is I; do not be afraid!”
51 Jesus amate kung ngunkuang tung ah ka to a, a sung ah a thet ciang in; hui zong thim hi: taciang amate sonzawk ngawl zadong in lamdangsa uh hi.
Then he got into the boat with them, and the wind dropped. The disciples were utterly amazed,
52 Amate in anluum taw kisai nalamdang thu phawk ngawl uh hi, banghangziam cile amate a thinpui lei uh hang a hihi.
for they had not understood about the loaves, their minds being slow to learn.
53 Ngalkhat a thet uh ciang in, Gennesaret ah hongpai uh a, tuihui ah ngunkuang khit uh hi.
When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret, and moored the boat.
54 Amate ngunkuang sung pan a pusua pociang, mipi te in Jesus a hi hunlam tel pai uh hi.
But they had no sooner left her than the people, recognising Jesus,
55 Tasiaciang tua ngam kimkot theampo ah tai uh a, Jesus om hi, ci a zak na mun uh ah, cina te a lupna uh taw hong pua tek uh hi.
hurried over the whole country-side, and began to carry about upon mats those who were ill, wherever they heard he was.
56 Jesus a tum na mun khua theampo, khuapi te le lo lam theampo ah, amate in cina te lampi tung ah sial uh ah, a puanmong tham tu in ngen tek uh hi: a tham tha theampo in damna nga uh hi.
So wherever he went — to villages, or towns, or farms — they would lay their sick in the market-places, begging him to let them touch only the tassel of his cloak; and all who touched were made well.
