Marcus 6

1 Is dh'fhalbh e as a sin, agus chaidh e gu dhuthaich fhein; is lean a dheisciopuil e;

On leaving that place, Jesus, followed by his disciples, went to his own part of the country.

2 Agus nuair thainig an t-sabaid, thoisich e ri teagasg san t-sinagog; is ghabh moran a bha ga eisdeachd ioghnadh ri theagag ag radh: Co as an tainig na tha aig an duine so? agus de an gliocas a tha air a thoirt dha: 's na gniomhan cho euchdail, a th' air an dianamh le lamhan?

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 Nach e so an saor, mac Moire, brathair Sheumais, is Ioseiph, is Iuda, is Shimoin? nach eil a pheathraichean an so maille ruinn? Agus ghabh iad sgainneal as.

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 Is thuirt Iosa riutha: Chan eil faidh gun onair ach 'na dhuthaich fhein, agus 'na thigh fhein, 's am measg a chairdean fhein.

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 Agus cha burrainn dha miarailt sam bith a dhianamh an sin, ach a mhain gun do leighis e beagan de dhaoine tinne le a lamhan a leagail orra;

And he could not work any miracle there, beyond placing his hands upon a few infirm persons, and curing them;

6 Is ghabh e ioghnadh rin cion creidimh, agus dh' imich e feadh nam bailtean mun cuairt a teagasg.

and he wondered at the want of faith shown by the people. Jesus went round the villages, one after another, teaching.

7 Agus ghairm e na dha dhiag: is thoisich e air an cur air falbh lion dithis is dithis, agus thug e cumhachd dhaibh thairis air spioradan neoghlan.

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 Is dh'aithn e orra gun dad a thoirt leo air an rathad, ach bata a mhain: gun mhala, gun aran, gun airgiod 'nan sporan,

He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey — not even bread, or a bag, or pence in their purse;

9 Ach cuarain air a chasan, 's gun da chota a chur orra.

but they were to wear sandals, and not to put on a second coat.

10 Is thuirt e riutha: Ge be aite san teid sibh a stigh do thigh, fanaibh ann, gus am falbh sibh as a sin.

“Whenever you go to stay at a house,” he said, “remain there till you leave that place;

11 Agus aite sam bith nach gabh ribh, 's nach eisd ribh, a falbh as a sin, crathaibh an duslach dher casan mar fhianais 'nan aghaidh.

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 'Sa gabhail a mach, shearmonaich iad gun fheumar aithreachas a dheanamh.

So they set out, and proclaimed the need of repentance.

13 Agus thilg iad a mach moran dheomhan, is dh' ung iad le ola moran dhaoine tinne, agus leighis iad iad.

They drove out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were infirm, and cured them.

14 Agus chuala righ Herod (Oir rinneadh 'ainm Iosa follaiseach), is thuirt e: Dh' eirich Eoin Baistidh bho na mairbh: 's air an aobhar sin tha feartan gan oibreachadh leis.

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 Ach thuirt feadhainn eile: Se Elias a th' ann. Is thuirt cuid eile: Se faidh th' ann, mar aon de na faidhean a bh'ann bho shean.

Others again said — “He is Elijah,” and others — “He is a Prophet, like one of the great Prophets.”

16 Air do Herod so a chluinntinn, thuirt e: Se Eoin, dhen tug mise an ceann, a th' ann, dh' eirich e bho na mairbh.

But when Herod heard of him, he said — “The man whom I beheaded — John — he must be risen!”

17 Oir chuir Herod fhein a mach is ghlac e Eoin, agus cheangal e am priosan e as leth Herodiais, bean a bhrathar Philip, chionn gun do phos e i.

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 Oir thuirt Eoin ri Herod: Chan eil e laghail dhut bean do bhrathar a bhith agad.

For John had said to Herod — “You have no right to be living with your brother’s wife.”

19 Agus bha Herodias le droch run na aghaidh, agus bha toil aice a mharbhadh, ach cha b' urrainn dhi.

So Herodias was incensed against John, and wanted to put him to death, but was unable to do so,

20 Oir bha eagal aig Herod roimh Eoin, a tuigsinn gun robh e 'na dhuine ceart agus naomh: agus ghleidh e sabhailte e, agus air dha eisdeachd ris, bhiodh e fo iomagain, ach dh' eisdeadh e ris gu toileach.

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 Agus nuair a thainig latha freagrach, rinn Herod suipeir, airson latha bhreith, do dh' uaislean, 's do cheannardan, 's do mhaithean Ghalile.

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 'S nuair a thainig nighean Herodiais so a stigh, 'sa dhanns i, 'sa thaitinn i ri Herod, agus riuthasan a bha aig bord comhla ris, thuirt an righ ris a chailin: iarr orm nas aill leat, is bheir mi dhut e:

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 Agus mhionnaich e dhi: Ge be ni a dhiarras tu bheir mi dhut e, ged a b'e leth mo rioghachd.

and he swore to her that he would give her whatever she asked him — up to half his kingdom.

24 Nuair chaidh i mach, thuirt i ri mathair: De a dh' iarras mi? ach thuirt ise: Ceann Eoin Baistidh.

The girl went out, and said to her mother “What must I ask for?” “The head of John the Baptizer,’ answered her mother.

25 'S air dhi tighinn a stigh le cabhaig san uair thun an righ, dh' iarr i, ag radh: Is aill leam gun toir thu dhomh san uair ceann Eoin Baiste air meis.

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 Agus bha 'n righ ro-dhuilich: ach as leth a mhionnan, s air son na feadhnach a bh' aig bord maille ris, cha b' aill leis miothlachd a chur oirre:

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 'Sa cur sleagh-fhear bhuaithe, dh' orduich e a cheann a thoirt a stigh air meis. Is thug e an ceann dheth sa phriosan,

He immediately dispatched one of his bodyguard, with orders to bring John’s head. The man went and beheaded John in the prison,

28 Agus thug e leis a cheann air meis, 's thug e don chailin e; agus thug a chailin dha mathair e.

and, bringing his head on a dish, gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.

29 Nuair chuala a dheisciopuil so, thainig iad, 's thug iad leo a chorp, agus chuir iad ann an uaigh e.

When John’s disciples heard of it, they came and took his body away, and laid it in a tomb.

30 Is chruinnich na h-ostail gu Iosa, agus dh' innis iad dha a h-uile ni, a bha iad air dianamh, 's air teagasg.

When the Apostles came back to Jesus, they told him all that they had done and all that they had taught.

31 Is thuirt e riutha: Thigibh a lethtaobh gu aite fas, agus leigibh ur n-anail airson beagan uine. Oir bha iad lionor an fheadhainn a bha tighinn 'sa dol; agus cha robh uine aca air biadh fhein a ghabhail.

“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 'Sa gabhail a stigh do bhata, chaidh iad a lethtaobh gu aite fas.

So they set off privately in their boat for a lonely spot.

33 Agus chunnacas iad a falbh, 's bha fios aig moran air; sa falbh air an cois as na bailtean uile, ruith iad an sin, agus bha iad rompa.

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 'Sa dol air tir, chunnaic Iosa sluagh mor: agus ghabh e truas riutha, a chionn gun robh iad mar chaoraich gun bhuachaille, agus thoisich e ri moran a theagasg dhaibh.

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 Agus nuair a bha nis a mhor chuid dhan latha seachad, thainig a dheisciopuil ga ionnsuidh, ag radh: Is fasach an t-aite so, 's tha 'n uair a nis air ruith

When it grew late, his disciples came up to him, and said: “This is a lonely spot, and it is already late.

36 Leig air falbh iad, los a dol do na tighean duthcha 's do na bailtean is fhaisge orra gun ceannaich iad biadh dhaibh fhein a dh' itheas iad.

Send the people away, so that they may go to the farms and villages around and buy themselves something to eat.”

37 Agus fhreagair e iad, ag radh: Thugaibh fhein biadh dhaibh ri ithe. Is thuirt iad ris: An rachamaid a cheannach luach da chiad sgilinn de dh' aran a bheir sinn dhaibh ri ithe?

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 Is thuirt e riutha: Co miad bonnach-arain a thagaibh? siubhlaibh a dh' fhaicinn. Agus nuair a fhuair iad mach, thuirt iad: Coig, 's da iasg.

“How many loaves have you?” he asked; “Go, and see.” When they had found out, they told him: “Five, and two fishes.”

39 Agus dh' orduich e dhaibh a thoirt orra suidhe uile nam buidhnean air an fhiar ghorm.

Jesus directed them to make all the people take their seats on the green grass, in parties;

40 Is shuidh iad sios 'nan cuideachdan chiadan agus leth-chiadan.

and they sat down in groups — in hundreds, and in fifties.

41 'Sa glacadh na coig bonnaich-arain, 's an da iasg, 's ag amharc suas gu neamh, bheannaich e, is bhrist e na bonnaich, agus thug e iad dha dheisciopuil, gus an cur air am bialaobh; agus roinn e an da iasg orra uile.

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 Is dhith iad uile, agus riaraicheadh iad.

Every one had sufficient to eat;

43 Is thog iad lan da chliabh dhiag de spruileach, 's de dhiasg.

and they picked up enough broken pieces to fill twelve baskets, as well as some of the fish.

44 Agus b' e aireamh na feadhnach, a dh' ith, coig mile fear.

The men who ate the bread were five thousand in number.

45 'S air ball thug e air a dheisciopuil a dhol a stigh do bhata, gus iad a dhol roimhe thar a chaol gu Bethsaida, fhad 'sa bhiodh e fhein a sgaoileadh an t-sluaigh.

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 Agus nuair a sgaoil e iad, chaidh e suas do bheinn a ghabhail urnaigh.

After he had taken leave of the people, he went away up the hill to pray.

47 'S nuair a bha an t-anmoch ann bha am bata am miadhon na fairge, agus esan leis fhein air tir.

When evening fell, the boat was out in the middle of the Sea, and Jesus on the shore alone.

48 'Sa faicinn gun robh iad air an sarachadh ag iomradh (oir bha ghaoth nan aghaidh), thainig e mun cheathramh faire den oidhche gan ionnsuidh, a coiseachd air a mhuir; agus bha toil aige dhol seachad orra.

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 Ach iadsan ga fhaicinn a coiseachd air a mhuir, shaoil iad gur e manadh a bh'ann, agus glaodh iad.

But, when they saw him walking on the water, they thought it was a ghost, and cried out;

50 Oir chunnaic iad uile e, agus gabh iad eagal mor. Agus ghrad-labhair e, is thuirt e riutha: Biodh misneach agaibh: Is mise thann, na biodh eagal oirbh.

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 Agus chaidh e dhan bhata comhla riutha, agus laidh a ghaoth. Agus bha uamhas mhor orra.

Then he got into the boat with them, and the wind dropped. The disciples were utterly amazed,

52 Oir cha do thuig iad mu na bonnaich-arain: oir bha an cridhe air a chruadhachadh.

for they had not understood about the loaves, their minds being slow to learn.

53 Agus nuair dh' aisig iad thairis, thainig iad gu talamh Ghenesareth, is tharruinn iad gu tir.

When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret, and moored the boat.

54 'S nuair thainig iad as a bhata, dh' aithnich iad e san uair:

But they had no sooner left her than the people, recognising Jesus,

55 Sa ruith feadh na duthcha sin uile, thoisich iad air an fheadhainn a bha tinn a ghiulan mun cuairt air leabaidhean far an cuala iad esan a bhith.

hurried over the whole country-side, and began to carry about upon mats those who were ill, wherever they heard he was.

56 Agus aite sam bith air an tadhaladh e air cathraichean, bailtean no duthaich, bha iad a cur nan daoine tinn air na straidean, 's a guid' air gum faodadh iad a mhain beantuinn do dh'iomall aodaich: 'sa mhiad 's bhean dha, rinneadh slan iad.

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.
