< Mark 6 >

1 Jesu fi ibẹ̀ sílẹ̀ lọ sí ìlú rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀.
On leaving that place, Jesus, followed by his disciples, went to his own part of the country.
2 Nígbà tí ó di ọjọ́ ìsinmi, ó lọ sí Sinagọgu láti kọ́ àwọn ènìyàn, ẹnu sì ya àwọn ènìyàn púpọ̀ tí ó gbọ́. Wọ́n wí pé, “Níbo ni ọkùnrin yìí gbé ti rí nǹkan wọ̀nyí? Irú ọgbọ́n kí ni èyí tí a fi fún un, tí irú iṣẹ́ ìyanu báyìí ń ti ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ṣe?
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 Gbẹ́nàgbẹ́nà náà kọ́ yìí? Ọmọ Maria àti arákùnrin Jakọbu àti Josẹfu, Judasi àti Simoni? Àwọn arábìnrin rẹ̀ gbogbo ha kọ́ ni ó ń bá wa gbé níhìn-ín yìí?” Wọ́n sì kọsẹ̀ lára rẹ̀.
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 Nígbà náà, Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “A máa ń bu ọlá fún wòlíì níbi gbogbo àfi ní ìlú ara rẹ̀ àti láàrín àwọn ìdílé àti àwọn ẹbí òun pàápàá.”
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 Nítorí àìgbàgbọ́ wọn, òun kò lè ṣe iṣẹ́ ìyanu ńlá láàrín wọn, àfi àwọn aláìsàn díẹ̀ tí ó gbé ọwọ́ lé lórí, tí wọ́n sì rí ìwòsàn.
And he could not work any miracle there, beyond placing his hands upon a few infirm persons, and curing them;
6 Ẹnu si yà á nítorí àìgbàgbọ́ wọn. Lẹ́yìn náà, Jesu lọ sí àárín àwọn ìletò kéékèèké, ó sì ń kọ́ wọn.
and he wondered at the want of faith shown by the people. Jesus went round the villages, one after another, teaching.
7 Ó sì pe àwọn méjìlá náà sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí rán wọn lọ ní méjì méjì, Ó sì fi àṣẹ fún wọn lórí ẹ̀mí àìmọ́.
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 O sọ fún wọn pé, wọn kò gbọdọ̀ mú ohunkóhun lọ́wọ́, àfi ọ̀pá ìtìlẹ̀ wọn. Wọn kò gbọdọ̀ mú oúnjẹ, àpò ìgbànú, tàbí owó lọ́wọ́.
He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey — not even bread, or a bag, or pence in their purse;
9 Wọn kò tilẹ̀ gbọdọ̀ mú ìpààrọ̀ bàtà tàbí aṣọ lọ́wọ́.
but they were to wear sandals, and not to put on a second coat.
10 Jesu wí pé, “Ẹ dúró sí ilé kan ní ìletò kan. Ẹ má ṣe sípò padà láti ilé dé ilé, nígbà tí ẹ bá wà ní ìlú náà.
“Whenever you go to stay at a house,” he said, “remain there till you leave that place;
11 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí kò bá sì gbà yín, tí kò sì gbọ́rọ̀ yín, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá jáde kúrò níbẹ̀, ẹ gbọn eruku ẹsẹ̀ yín síbẹ̀ fún ẹ̀rí fún wọn.”
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 Wọ́n jáde lọ láti wàásù ìrònúpìwàdà fún àwọn ènìyàn.
So they set out, and proclaimed the need of repentance.
13 Wọ́n lé ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àwọn ẹ̀mí àìmọ́ jáde. Wọ́n sì ń fi òróró kun orí àwọn tí ara wọn kò dá, wọ́n sì mú wọn láradá.
They drove out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were infirm, and cured them.
14 Láìpẹ́, ọba Herodu gbọ́ nípa Jesu, nítorí níbi gbogbo ni a ti ń sọ̀rọ̀ iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀. Ọba náà rò pé, “Johanu Onítẹ̀bọmi jíǹde kúrò nínú òkú, nítorí náà ni iṣẹ́ ìyanu ṣe ń ṣe láti ọwọ́ rẹ.”
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 Àwọn mìíràn wí pé, “Elijah ní.” Àwọn mìíràn wí pé, “Wòlíì bí ọ̀kan lára àwọn àtijọ́ tó ti kú ló tún padà sáyé.”
Others again said — “He is Elijah,” and others — “He is a Prophet, like one of the great Prophets.”
16 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí Herodu gbọ́ èyí, ó wí pé “Johanu tí mo tí bẹ́ lórí ni ó ti jíǹde kúrò nínú òkú.”
But when Herod heard of him, he said — “The man whom I beheaded — John — he must be risen!”
17 Herodu fúnra rẹ̀ sá ti ránṣẹ́ mú Johanu, tìkára rẹ̀ sínú túbú nítorí Herodia aya Filipi arákùnrin rẹ̀ nítorí tí ó fi ṣe aya.
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 Johanu sì ti wí fún Herodu pé, “Kò tọ́ sí ọ láti fi ìyàwó arákùnrin rẹ ṣe aya.”
For John had said to Herod — “You have no right to be living with your brother’s wife.”
19 Nítorí náà ni Herodia ṣe ní sínú, òun sì fẹ́ pa á, ṣùgbọ́n kò le ṣe é.
So Herodias was incensed against John, and wanted to put him to death, but was unable to do so,
20 Nítorí Herodu bẹ̀rù Johanu, ó sì mọ̀ ọ́n ni olóòtítọ́ ènìyàn àti ẹni mímọ́, ó sì ń tọ́jú rẹ̀. Nígbà tí Herodu ba gbọ́rọ̀ Johanu, ó máa ń dààmú síbẹ̀, ó sì fi ayọ̀ gbọ́rọ̀ rẹ̀.
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 Níkẹyìn Herodia rí ààyè. Àkókò yìí ni ọjọ́ ìbí Herodu, òun sì pèsè àsè ní ààfin ọba fún àwọn olùrànlọ́wọ́ rẹ̀: àwọn balógun àti àwọn ènìyàn pàtàkì ní Galili.
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 Nígbà náà, ni ọmọbìnrin Herodia wọlé láti jó. Inú Herodu àti àwọn àlejò rẹ̀ dùn tó bẹ́ẹ̀. Ọba sọ fún ọmọbìnrin náà pé, “Béèrè ohunkóhun tí ìwọ bá fẹ́ lọ́wọ́ mi, èmi ó sì fi fún ọ.”
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 Ó sì búra fún un wí pé, “Ohunkóhun tí ìwọ bá fẹ́, ìbá à ṣe ìdajì ìjọba mi ni, èmi yóò fi fún ọ.”
and he swore to her that he would give her whatever she asked him — up to half his kingdom.
24 Ó jáde lọ sọ fún ìyá rẹ̀ pé, “Kí ní kí ń béèrè?” Ó dáhùn pé, “Orí Johanu Onítẹ̀bọmi.”
The girl went out, and said to her mother “What must I ask for?” “The head of John the Baptizer,’ answered her mother.
25 Ọmọbìnrin yìí sáré padà wá sọ́dọ̀ Herodu ọba. Ó sì wí fún un pé, “Mo ń fẹ́ orí Johanu Onítẹ̀bọmi nísinsin yìí nínú àwopọ̀kọ́.”
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 Inú ọba sì bàjẹ́ gidigidi, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí àwọn ìbúra rẹ, àti nítorí àwọn tí ó bá a jókòó pọ̀, kò sì fẹ́ kọ̀ fún un.
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 Nítorí èyí, ọba rán ẹ̀ṣọ́ kan, ó fi àṣẹ fún un pé, kí ó gbé orí Johanu wá. Ọkùnrin náà sì lọ, ó bẹ́ Johanu lórí nínú túbú.
He immediately dispatched one of his bodyguard, with orders to bring John’s head. The man went and beheaded John in the prison,
28 Ó sì gbé orí Johanu wa nínú àwopọ̀kọ́. Ó sì gbé e fún ọmọbìnrin náà. Òun sì gbé e tọ ìyá rẹ̀ lọ.
and, bringing his head on a dish, gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
29 Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn Johanu gbọ́, wọ́n wá gbé òkú rẹ̀, wọ́n sì lọ tẹ́ ẹ sínú ibojì.
When John’s disciples heard of it, they came and took his body away, and laid it in a tomb.
30 Àwọn aposteli kó ara wọn jọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Jesu, wọ́n sí ròyìn ohun gbogbo tí wọ́n ti ṣe àti ohun gbogbo tí wọ́n ti kọ́ni.
When the Apostles came back to Jesus, they told him all that they had done and all that they had taught.
31 Nígbà tí Jesu rí i pé ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn ń lọ tí wọ́n sì ń bọ̀ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí kò sí ààyè fún wọn láti jẹun, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a kúrò láàrín ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn wọ̀nyí fún ìgbà díẹ̀, kí a sì sinmi.”
“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 Nítorí náà, wọ́n wọ ọkọ̀ ojú omi kúrò níbẹ̀ lọ sí ibi tí ó parọ́rọ́.
So they set off privately in their boat for a lonely spot.
33 Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn ni o rí wọn nígbà tí wọ́n ń lọ. Àwọn wọ̀nyí sì tún wá láti ìlú ńlá gbogbo wọn sáré gba etí Òkun, wọ́n ṣáájú wọn gúnlẹ̀ ní èbúté.
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 Bí Jesu ti ń sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti inú ọkọ̀ náà, ó bá ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn bí i tí àtẹ̀yìnwá, tí wọ́n ti ń dúró dè e. Ó káàánú fún wọn, nítorí wọ́n dàbí àgùntàn tí kò ní olùtọ́jú. Ó sì kọ́ wọn ni ọ̀pọ̀ nǹkan tí ó yẹ kí wọ́n mọ̀.
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 Nígbà tí ọjọ́ sì ti bù lọ tán, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ wá, wọ́n wí fún un pé, ibi aṣálẹ̀ ni ìbí yìí, ọjọ́ sì bù lọ tán.
When it grew late, his disciples came up to him, and said: “This is a lonely spot, and it is already late.
36 “Rán àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí láti lọ sí àwọn abúlé àti ìlú láti ra oúnjẹ fún ara wọn.”
Send the people away, so that they may go to the farms and villages around and buy themselves something to eat.”
37 Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu sọ fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ fún wọn ní oúnjẹ.” Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn wí fún pé, “Èyí yóò ná wa tó owó iṣẹ́ ọ̀yà oṣù mẹ́jọ, ṣe kí a lọ fi èyí ra àkàrà fún àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn yìí láti jẹ.”
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 Jesu tún béèrè pé, “Ìṣù àkàrà mélòó ni ẹ̀yin ni lọ́wọ́? Ẹ lọ wò ó.” Wọ́n padà wá jíṣẹ́ pé, “Ìṣù àkàrà márùn-ún àti ẹja méjì.”
“How many loaves have you?” he asked; “Go, and see.” When they had found out, they told him: “Five, and two fishes.”
39 Nígbà náà ni Jesu sọ fún ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn náà kí a mú wọn jókòó lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ̀gbẹ́ lórí koríko.
Jesus directed them to make all the people take their seats on the green grass, in parties;
40 Lẹ́sẹ̀kan náà, wọ́n bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í jókòó, ní àádọ́ta tàbí ọgọọgọ́rùn-ún.
and they sat down in groups — in hundreds, and in fifties.
41 Nígbà tí ó sì mú ìṣù àkàrà márùn-ún àti ẹja méjì náà, ó gbé ojú rẹ̀ sókè ọ̀run. Ó dúpẹ́ fún oúnjẹ náà, ó bù wọ́n sí wẹ́wẹ́, ó fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ láti gbé e kalẹ̀ síwájú àwọn ènìyàn náà àti àwọn ẹja méjì náà ni ó pín fún gbogbo wọn.
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 Gbogbo wọn sì jẹ àjẹyó.
Every one had sufficient to eat;
43 Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn sì kó agbọ̀n méjìlá tí ó kún fún àjẹkù àkàrà àti ti ẹja pẹ̀lú.
and they picked up enough broken pieces to fill twelve baskets, as well as some of the fish.
44 Àwọn tí ó sì jẹ́ àkàrà náà tó ìwọ̀n ẹgbẹ̀rún márùn-ún ọkùnrin.
The men who ate the bread were five thousand in number.
45 Lẹ́sẹ̀kẹsẹ̀ lẹ́yìn èyí, Jesu pàṣẹ fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ láti padà sínú ọkọ̀ kí wọn sì ṣáájú rékọjá sí Betisaida. Níbẹ̀ ni òun yóò ti wà pẹ̀lú wọn láìpẹ́. Nítorí òun fúnra a rẹ̀ yóò dúró sẹ́yìn láti rí i pé àwọn ènìyàn túká lọ ilé wọn.
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 Lẹ́yìn náà, ó lọ sórí òkè láti lọ gbàdúrà.
After he had taken leave of the people, he went away up the hill to pray.
47 Nígbà tí ó di alẹ́, ọkọ̀ wà láàrín Òkun, òun nìkan sì wà lórí ilẹ̀.
When evening fell, the boat was out in the middle of the Sea, and Jesus on the shore alone.
48 Ó rí i wí pé àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn wà nínú wàhálà púpọ̀ ní wíwa ọkọ̀ náà nítorí ti ìjì líle ṣe ọwọ́ òdì sí wọn, nígbà tí ó sì dì ìwọ̀n ìṣọ́ kẹrin òru, ó tọ̀ wọ́n wá, ó ń rìn lórí omi Òkun, òun sì fẹ́ ré wọn kọjá,
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 ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí wọ́n rí i tí ó ń rìn, wọ́n rò pé iwin ni. Wọ́n sì kígbe sókè lóhùn rara,
But, when they saw him walking on the water, they thought it was a ghost, and cried out;
50 nítorí gbogbo wọn ni ó rí i, tí ẹ̀rù sì bà wọ́n. Ṣùgbọ́n òun sọ̀rọ̀ sí wọn lẹ́sẹ̀kẹsẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ mú ọkàn le! Èmi ni. Ẹ má bẹ̀rù.”
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 Nígbà náà ni ó gòkè sínú ọkọ̀ pẹ̀lú wọn, ìjì líle náà sì dáwọ́ dúró. Ẹ̀rù sì bà wọ́n rékọjá gidigidi, ẹnu sì yà wọ́n.
Then he got into the boat with them, and the wind dropped. The disciples were utterly amazed,
52 Wọn kò sá tó ni òye iṣẹ́ ìyanu ti ìṣù àkàrà, nítorí ti ọkàn wọn yigbì.
for they had not understood about the loaves, their minds being slow to learn.
53 Lẹ́yìn tí wọ́n la Òkun náà kọjá, wọ́n gúnlẹ̀ sí Genesareti. Wọ́n sì so ọkọ̀ sí èbúté.
When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret, and moored the boat.
54 Wọ́n jáde kúrò nínú ọkọ̀. Àwọn ènìyàn tó wà níbẹ̀ rí Jesu, wọ́n sì dá a mọ̀ ọ́n.
But they had no sooner left her than the people, recognising Jesus,
55 Wéré, wọ́n ròyìn dídé rẹ̀, gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sáré gbé gbogbo àwọn aláìsàn lórí àkéte wọn wá pàdé rẹ̀.
hurried over the whole country-side, and began to carry about upon mats those who were ill, wherever they heard he was.
56 Ní ibi gbogbo tí ó sì dé, yálà ní abúlé, ìlú ńlá tàbí àrọ́ko, ń ṣe ni wọ́n ń kó àwọn aláìsàn pàdé rẹ̀ ní àárín ọjà. Wọ́n sì ń bẹ̀ ẹ́ kí ó jẹ́ kí wọn fi ọwọ́ kan etí aṣọ rẹ̀, gbogbo àwọn tí wọ́n sì fi ọwọ́ kàn án ni a mú láradá.
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.
