Mark 6
1 Buna Yesu wubotuka kuna; wuvutuka ku tsi andi yika butukila ayi minlonguki miandi minlandakana.
On leaving that place, Jesus, followed by his disciples, went to his own part of the country.
2 Mu lumbu ki saba, Yesu wutona longa mu nzo lukutukunu. Buna bawombomu batu bobo banwa basimina ayi batuba: —A kuevi kabakidi mambu momo e? A phila nduenga mbi yoyibamveni e? A buevi kalembo vangila bikumu biobi e?
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 Niandi ko salaphati; muana Maliya; khomba yi Zaki, Yose, Yuda ayi Simoni e? Bakhomba bandi zi baketo keti zikala yeto vava? Niandi wuba nkaku kuidi bawu muingi babika wilukila.
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 Buna Yesu wuba kamba: —Mbikudi kantambulanga minzitusu ko mu tsi andi, kuidi bibutu biandi koayi mu dikanda diandi ko.
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 Diawu kadi kumu kasia vanga kuna ko. Vayi botuka kaka ndambu bambevokatetika mioko ayi kabelusa.
And he could not work any miracle there, beyond placing his hands upon a few infirm persons, and curing them;
6 Wusimina buwombo mu kambu kuawu ku minu. Yesu wudiengila mu mala ma zunga kina mu diambu di longa.
and he wondered at the want of faith shown by the people. Jesus went round the villages, one after another, teaching.
7 Wutumisa kumi mimvuala miandi miodi ayi wuba fidisa buadi-buadi. Wuba vana lulendo lu yadila ziphevi zimbimbi.
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 Wuba kamba babika nata kadi kima kimosi mu nzila botula kaka nti wutula va koko. Buna wuba kamba: —Bu lunkuenda, lubika nata kadi khuta; kadi nata khutu; kadi nata zimbongo mu photimoni.
He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey — not even bread, or a bag, or pence in their purse;
9 Luvuata zisapatu mu malu vayi kadi nata kikhutu ki viakisa.
but they were to wear sandals, and not to put on a second coat.
10 Yoso nzo bela ku luyakula, buna lukala muna nate luela kuenda.
“Whenever you go to stay at a house,” he said, “remain there till you leave that place;
11 Kioso buangu bela manga ku luyakula voti kuluwa; buna muthangu luela botuka vana luba kukumuna mbungi-mbungi yi malu meno. Diodi diela ba kimbangi kuidi bawu.
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 Buna bayenda ayi balonga batu ti babalula mavanga.
So they set out, and proclaimed the need of repentance.
13 Bakuka ziphevi ziwombo zimbimbi ayi badukudila bambevo ziwombomafuta ayi baba belusa.
They drove out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were infirm, and cured them.
14 Ntinu Elode wuwa zitsangu zi Yesu, bila dizina diandi ditembakanamu zindambu zioso. Baba tubanga: —Yowani Mbotiki niandi wufulukidi mu bafua! Diawu kadidi lulendo luvangilabikumu.
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 Vayi bankaka baba tubanga: —Niandi Eli. Bankaka diaka ti: —Widi mbikudi banga wumosi mu mimbikudi.
Others again said — “He is Elijah,” and others — “He is a Prophet, like one of the great Prophets.”
16 Vayi Elode bu kawa mambu momo, buna wutuba: —Yowani mutu ndizengisa ntu, niandi wufulukidi!
But when Herod heard of him, he said — “The man whom I beheaded — John — he must be risen!”
17 Muaki niandi veka Elode wuvana lutumunu mu buila yowani ayi wunkangisa mu zisieni mu nloko mu diambu Elode kakuela Elodiasi nketo nkhombꞌandi Filipi.
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 Bila Yowani wuba kambanga ntinu Elode: —Wusi ko minsua mu kuela nketo khombꞌaku!
For John had said to Herod — “You have no right to be living with your brother’s wife.”
19 Elodiasi wumfuemina ayi wuntombila diluaku di kumvondila. Vayi kasia nunga ko.
So Herodias was incensed against John, and wanted to put him to death, but was unable to do so,
20 Bila Elode tsisi kaba monanga Yowani bila wuzaba ti Yowani wuba mutu wusonga ayi wunlongo. Diawu kaba ku nkebilanga bumbote. Bu kaba kunwanga buna wuba yindulanga buwombo ayi khini kaba monanga mu kunwa.
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 Vayi lumbu kimosi diluaku dimonika mu thangu Elode, mu lumbu ki nyengo wu mbutukulu andi; kakubika nyengo wunneni wu ndiwulu, wutumisa bapfumu zioso zi leta, bapfumu zioso zi masodi ayi bapfumu zioso zi malamu zunga ki Ngalili muingi biza dia ku nzoꞌandi.
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 Mu thangu yi nyengo, muana ndumba wu Elodiasi wukota muna nzo, wukina. Wumonisa Elode khini va kimosi ayi batu boso Elode katumisa ku nyengo. Diawu ntinu kakambila muana ndumba beni: —Wundomba kioso tidi, ndieka kuvana kiawu.
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 Wumvana tsila bu kaleva ndefi ti kioso kuandi wunlomba, yiba kuandi ti ndambu yi kipfumu kiama, ndieka kuvana kiawu!
and he swore to her that he would give her whatever she asked him — up to half his kingdom.
24 Muana ndumba beni wuyenda yuvula ngudi andi: —A mbi ndomba e? Ngudi andi wunkamba: —Ntu wu Yowani Mbotiki!
The girl went out, and said to her mother “What must I ask for?” “The head of John the Baptizer,’ answered her mother.
25 Buna muana ndumba wuvika vutuka nsualu kuidi ntinu ayi wunkamba: —Thidi mu nsualu wuphana buabu ntu wu Yowani Mbotiki mu dilonga.
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 Ntinu wumona kiadi, vayi mu diambu di zindefi zi kaleva ayi batu bobo batumusu; buna kasia zola kunyimina wawu ko.
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 Buna ntinu wufidisa disodi dimosi mu masadi momo maba kunsungangaayi wuntuma kanata ntu wu Yowani. Disodi beni diyenda kuna nloko ayi dizenga ntu wu Yowani.
He immediately dispatched one of his bodyguard, with orders to bring John’s head. The man went and beheaded John in the prison,
28 Dinata ntu beni mu dilonga; divana wawu kuidi muana ndumba bosimuana wuyenda wuvana kuidi ngudi andi.
and, bringing his head on a dish, gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
29 Minlonguki mi Yowani bu miwa nsamu, miyiza bonga nitu andi, mizika yawu.
When John’s disciples heard of it, they came and took his body away, and laid it in a tomb.
30 Mimvuala mikutakana vaba Yesu ayi mimvumbudila kipholo kimamo bavanga ayi balonga.
When the Apostles came back to Jesus, they told him all that they had done and all that they had taught.
31 Buna wuba kamba: —Yizanu va lutengo, va buangu kikambulu batu ayi luvunda fioti. Muaki batu bawombo baba kuendanga ayi kuizanga. Diawu basia bakila ko thangu yi dila bidia.
“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 Diawu bakumina mu nlungu mu kuenda ku lutengo; va buangu kikambulu batu.
So they set off privately in their boat for a lonely spot.
33 Batu bawombo baba mona bu bayenda ayi baba bakula. Diawu batu bawombo baba mu mavula bazawula kuna ayi baba tuamina va buangu kioki baba kuenda.
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 Yesu bu kakuluka mu nlungu; wumona nkangu wu batu; wuba mona kiadi bila baba banga mameme makambulu nsungi. Wutona kuba longa mambu mawombo.
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 Buisi buna bueka nduka yila, minlonguki miyiza kunkamba: —Va buangu kikambulu batu tuidi bosi buisi bueka yila.
When it grew late, his disciples came up to him, and said: “This is a lonely spot, and it is already late.
36 Diawu vutula batu baba muingi benda mu ziphagu zi bibulu zitsola ayi mu mala mafikimini mu diambu benda sumbi bidia.
Send the people away, so that they may go to the farms and villages around and buy themselves something to eat.”
37 Vayi Yesu wuba vutudila: —Luba vananu beno veka bidia! Vayi bawu banyuvula: —Tidi tuenda sumbi mapha ma zikhama zizole zi denali muingi tuba vana badia.
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 Yesu wuba yuvula: —Mapha ma kua madi yeno e? Yendanu lutala. Bu bazaba, buna bankamba: Mapha matanu ayi zimbizi zizole.
“How many loaves have you?” he asked; “Go, and see.” When they had found out, they told him: “Five, and two fishes.”
39 Buna wuvana lutumunu mu vuandisa nkangu wu batu mu makabu, va biti binlangu.
Jesus directed them to make all the people take their seats on the green grass, in parties;
40 Batu bavuanda mu makabu; mankaka khama yi batu, mankaka makumatanu ma batu.
and they sat down in groups — in hundreds, and in fifties.
41 Bosi wubonga mapha beni matanu ayi zimbizi beni zizole, wuvumbulameso ku Yilu, wuvutula matondo; wubukuna mapha, wuvana minlonguki muingimikabudila nkangu wu batu. Wubuela kabudila zimbizi zizole beni kuidi batu boso.
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 Batu boso badia ayi bayukuta.
Every one had sufficient to eat;
43 Batota kumi bipani biodi biwala mu bitini bi mapha ayi mu zimbizi ziozi zisiadidila.
and they picked up enough broken pieces to fill twelve baskets, as well as some of the fish.
44 Thalu yoso yi batu badia mapha yiba mili tanu yi babakala.
The men who ate the bread were five thousand in number.
45 Ku nzimunina Yesu wutuma minlonguki miandi mikuma mu nlungu muingi mintuaminina ku disimu dinkaka di mbu ku ndambu Betisayida; niandi veka bu kaba vutula nkangu wu batu.
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 Buna kamana vutula nkangu buna wuyenda ku mongo mu kuenda sambila.
After he had taken leave of the people, he went away up the hill to pray.
47 Buisi buna bueka yila, nlungu weka va ngingi mbu; Vayi buna Yesu wukidi niandi veka ku disimu.
When evening fell, the boat was out in the middle of the Sea, and Jesus on the shore alone.
48 Wumona ti minlonguki miandi milembo moni ziphasi ziwombo mu vuila mu diambu di phemo yiba kuba vutula ku manima. Yiba nduka-ndukathangu yinya yi builu. Yesu wuyenda ku baba vayi va mbata mbukaba diatila. Ayi wuzola kuba viokakana.
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 Vayi bu bammona wundiatila va mbata mbu, babanzila ti nkuyuayi diawu bayamikinina.
But, when they saw him walking on the water, they thought it was a ghost, and cried out;
50 Bila baboso bammona ayi bamona boma. Vayi vana vawu wuba kamba: —Bika luba bukhafi bila minu kuandi; lubika mona boma.
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 Bosi wukuma mu nlungu mu baba ayi phemo yilembama. Minlonguki misimina ngolo,
Then he got into the boat with them, and the wind dropped. The disciples were utterly amazed,
52 bila misia sudika ko tsundu yi kumu ki mapha mu diambu di mintimamiawu miba mi matadi.
for they had not understood about the loaves, their minds being slow to learn.
53 Buna bamana sabuka mbu, batula ku zunga ki Ngenezaleti; bakanga nlungu va dibongo.
When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret, and moored the boat.
54 Bu batumbu kuluka mu nlungu, batu babakula Yesu.
But they had no sooner left her than the people, recognising Jesus,
55 Buna batu beni bayenda nsualu mu zunga kioso. Bannatina bambevo mu biphoyi koso buangu bawa ti kuna kadi.
hurried over the whole country-side, and began to carry about upon mats those who were ill, wherever they heard he was.
56 Mu bibuangu bioso kaviokila yiba mu mala, mu mavula voti mu zitsola batu batula bambevo mu mazandu, ayi, baba nlebanga Yesu muingi kaba vana kaka minsua mu simba kaka tsongi yi nledi andi. Babo bobo basimba wawu babeluka.
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.
