Marcos 6

1 He went out from there. He came into his own country, and his disciples followed him. 2 When the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things?" and, "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands? 3 Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James, Joses, Judah, and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?" So they were offended at him.

4 Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house." 5 He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 He marveled because of their unbelief.

He went around the villages teaching. 7 He called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits. 8 He commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse, 9 but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics. 10 He said to them, "Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there. 11 Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them. Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!"

12 They went out and preached that people should repent. 13 They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick and healed them. 14 King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, "John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him." 15 But others said, "He is Elijah." Others said, "He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets." 16 But Herod, when he heard this, said, "This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead." 17 For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her. 18 For John had said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife." 19 Herodias set herself against him and desired to kill him, but she couldn’t, 20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.

21 Then a convenient day came when Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee. 22 When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, "Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you." 23 He swore to her, "Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom."

24 She went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?"

She said, "The head of John the Baptizer."

25 She came in immediately with haste to the king and requested, "I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptizer on a platter."

26 The king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths and of his dinner guests, he didn’t wish to refuse her. 27 Immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard and commanded to bring John’s head; and he went and beheaded him in the prison, 28 and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young lady; and the young lady gave it to her mother.

29 When his disciples heard this, they came and took up his corpse and laid it in a tomb.

30 The apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught. 31 He said to them, "Come away into a deserted place, and rest awhile." For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 32 They went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves. 33 They*6:33 TR reads "The multitudes" instead of "They" saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to him. 34 Jesus came out, saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. 35 When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him and said, "This place is deserted, and it is late in the day. 36 Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat."

37 But he answered them, "You give them something to eat."

They asked him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii*6:37 200 denarii was about 7 or 8 months wages for an agricultural laborer. worth of bread and give them something to eat?"

38 He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go see."

When they knew, they said, "Five, and two fish."

39 He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties. 41 He took the five loaves and the two fish; and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his disciples to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them all. 42 They all ate and were filled. 43 They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish. 44 Those who ate the loaves were*6:44 TR adds "about" five thousand men.

45 Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the multitude away. 46 After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.

47 When evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on the land. 48 Seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea;✝6:48 See Job 9:8 and he would have passed by them, 49 but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out; 50 for they all saw him and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them and said to them, "Cheer up! It is I!*6:50 or, "I AM!" Don’t be afraid." 51 He got into the boat with them; and the wind ceased, and they were very amazed among themselves, and marveled; 52 for they hadn’t understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

53 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored to the shore. 54 When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him, 55 and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick on their mats to where they heard he was. 56 Wherever he entered—into villages, or into cities, or into the country—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might just touch the fringe*6:56 or, tassel of his garment; and as many as touched him were made well.

Te Whakahāweatanga i a Īhu

1 Ā, haere ia i reira, ā, ka tae ki tōna kāinga tupu; me te aru anō āna ākonga i a ia. 2 Ā, ka taka mai te hāpati, ka anga ia, ka whakaako i roto i te whare karakia; ā, he tokomaha hoki, i tō rātou rongonga, i mīharo, i mea, "Nō hea ēnei mea a tēnei tangata? He mātauranga aha tēnei kua hoatu nei ki a ia, ā, he aha te tikanga o ēnei merekara nunui kua oti nei i ōna ringa? 3 Ehara ianei tēnei i te kāmura, i te tama a Meri, i te tuakana o Hēmi, o Hohi, o Hūrā, o Haimona? Kāhore ianei ōna tuāhine i konei, i a tātou nei?" Heoi, hē ana rātou ki a ia.

4 Otirā, ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, "Kei tōna kāinga anake, kei ōna whanaunga, kei tōna whare, te poropiti hapa ai i te hōnore."

5 Ā, kīhai ia i āhei te mea i tētahi merekara ki reira, heoi anō, ko te whakapā i ōna ringa ki ētahi tāngata tūroro torutoru kia ora ai. 6 Ā, mīharo ana ia ki tō rātou whakapono kore. Nā, hāereerea ana e ia ngā kāinga ā tawhio noa, whakaako ai.

Ka Tonoa e Īhu ngā Ākonga Tekau mā Rua

7 Kātahi ia ka karanga i te tekau mā rua, ka anga, ka tono i a rātou tokorua, tokorua; ā, hoatu ana ki a rātou he mana hei pei i ngā wairua poke.

8 I whakahau ia ki a rātou, kia kaua tētahi mea e mauria ki te ara, he tokotoko anake – kaua he pūtea, kaua he taro, kaua he moni mō roto i te whītiki. 9 Engari ngā hū, e here nā; kaua hoki e takiruatia he koti hei kākahu. 10 I mea anō ia ki a rātou, "Ka tapoko ki tētahi whare, hei reira noho ai, ā, haere noa i reira. 11 Ā, ki te kāhore ētahi e manako ki a koutou, ki te kore e whakarongo ki a koutou, ina haere atu koutou i reira, ruia atu te puehu i raro i ō koutou waewae hei whakaatu ki a rātou."

12 Nā, ka haere rātou, ka kauwhau kia rīpenetā te tangata. 13 He maha hoki ngā rēwera i peia, he tokomaha anō ngā tūroro i kaukauria ki te hinu, i whakaorangia.

Te Matenga o Hoani te Kaiiriiri

14 Ā, ka rongo a Kīngi Herora ki ēnei mea; kua nui haere hoki tōna ingoa, ā, ka mea ia, "Kua ara a Hoani Kaiiriiri i te hunga mate, nā reira i mahi ai ngā merekara i roto i a ia."

15 Ko ētahi i mea, "Ko Irāia tēnei."

Ko ētahi, "He poropiti ia, he pērā rānei me tētahi o ngā poropiti."

16 Heoi, i te rongonga o Herora, ka mea ia, "Ko Hoani tēnei i pōutoa e ahau te mātenga; kua ara ia."

17 I tono tāngata hoki taua Herora, ā, hopukia ana a Hoani, herea iho ki te whare herehere, he mea mō Herōriaha, mō te wahine a tōna tuakana a Piripi; kua mārenatia hoki e ia. 18 Nā Hoani hoki i mea ki a Herora, "E kore e tika kia riro i a koe te wahine a tōu tuakana." 19 Nā, ka mauāhara a Herōriaha ki a ia, ka mea kia whakamatea ia; heoi, kīhai i taea. 20 I hopohopo hoki a Herora ki a Hoani, i mōhio hoki ki a ia he tangata tika, he tapu, nā, ka āta tiaki i a ia. I tōna rongonga ki a ia he nui tōna pororaru; ā, i whakaahuareka anō ki te whakarongo ki a ia.

21 Ā, ka tae ki tētahi wā pai, i te takanga ai a Herora i tōna rā whānautanga, he hākari mā āna tāngata nunui, mā ngā rangatira hōia, mā ngā tino tāngata o Karirī. 22 Ā, ka haere te tamāhine a taua Herōriaha ki roto, ka kanikani, ka āhuareka a Herora rātou ko te hunga e noho tahi ana, ā, ka mea te kīngi ki te kōtiro rā, "Māu e tono ki ahau tāu e pai ai, ā, ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe." 23 Nā, ka oati ia ki a ia, "Ko tāu e tono ai ki ahau, ahakoa ko tētahi taha o tōku rangatiratanga, me hoatu e ahau ki a koe."

24 Nā, ka haere ia, ka kōrero ki tōna whaea, "Me tono e ahau ki te aha?"

Ka mea tērā, "Ki te mātenga o Hoani Kaiiriiri."

25 Nā, hohoro tonu tōna haere ki te kīngi, ka tono, ka mea, "Ko tāku e pai ai, kia hōmai e koe ki ahau āianei ko te mātenga o Hoani Kaiiriiri i runga i te rīhi."

26 Nā, nui atu te pōuri o te kīngi; otirā, i te whakaaro ki āna oati, ki te hunga hoki e noho tahi ana me ia, kīhai i pai kia whakakāhoretia tāna. 27 Nā, tonoa tonutia atu e te kīngi tētahi o āna hōia kaitiaki me te whakahau atu kia mauria mai tōna mātenga. Ā, haere ana tērā, pōutoa iho e ia tōna mātenga i roto i te whare herehere, 28 ā, mauria mai ana tōna mātenga i runga i te rīhi, hoatu ana ki te kōtiro. Ā, nā te kōtiro i hoatu ki tōna whaea. 29 Ā, nō ka rongo āna ākonga, ka haere mai ka tangohia tōna tinana, ā, whakatakotoria ana ki te urupā.

Ka Whāngaia e Īhu te Rima Mano

30 Nā, ka huihui ngā āpōtoro ki a Īhu, kōrerotia ana e rātou ki a ia ngā mea katoa i mea ai rātou, i whakaako ai. 31 Nā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, "Haere mai koutou nā ki te koraha ki te wāhi motu kē, kia tā ai te manawa. He tokomaha hoki e haere mai ana, e haere atu ana, nō kīhai rawa rātou i wātea ki te kai." 32 Ā, haere puku ana rātou ki te koraha ki tētahi wāhi motu kē rā te kaipuke.

33 Ā, i kite ngā mano i tō rātou haerenga, he tokomaha i mātau ki a ia, nā, ka oma ā-waewae ki reira i roto i ngā pā katoa, ā, ko rātou kua tae wawe. 34 Ā, ka puta a Īhu, ka kite i te hui nui, ka aroha ki a rātou, nō te mea i rite rātou ki te hipi hēparakore; ā, ka anga ia, ka whakaako i a rātou ki ngā mea maha.

35 Nā, kua heke noa atu te rā, ka haere atu āna ākonga ki a ia, ka mea, "He wāhi koraha tēnei, kua heke noa atu te rā. 36 Tonoa atu rātou kia haere ki ngā whenua, ki ngā kāinga i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha, ki te hoko kai mā rātou."

37 Nā, ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a rātou, "Mā koutou e hoatu he kai mā rātou."

Ka mea rātou ki a ia, "Me haere oti mātou ki te hoko taro ki ngā pene e rua rau, ka hoatu ai hei kai mā rātou?"

38 Ka mea ia ki a rātou, "E hia ā koutou taro? Tīkina tirohia."

Ka mōhio rātou, nā ka mea, "E rima, e rua hoki ngā ika."

39 Ka mea ia ki a rātou kia meinga rātou katoa kia noho, he nohoanga, he nohoanga, ki runga ki te tarutaru matomato. 40 Nā, ka noho rātou, he rōpū, he rōpū, tātakirau, tātakirima tekau. 41 Ā, ka mau ia ki ngā taro e rima, ki ngā ika hoki e rua, ka titiro ki runga ki te rangi, ka whakapai, ka whawhati i ngā taro, ā, hoatu ana ki āna ākonga kia whakatakotoria mā rātou; i tuwhaina anō hoki e ia ngā ika e rua mā rātou katoa. 42 Ā, kai katoa ana rātou, ā, ka mākona. 43 Ā, kotahi tekau mā rua ngā kete i kohia e rātou, kī tonu i ngā whatiwhatinga, i ngā ika hoki. 44 Ā, me te mea e rima mano ngā tāne i kai taro rā.

Ka Hikoi a Īhu i runga i te Wai

45 Ā, akiaki tonu iho ia i āna ākonga kia eke ki te kaipuke, kia whakawhiti i mua i a ia ki tāwāhi, ki Petahaira, i a ia e tono ana i te mano kia haere. 46 Nā, ka mutu tāna poroporoaki, ka haere ia ki te maunga ki te īnoi.

47 Nā, kua ahiahi, i waenga moana te kaipuke, ko ia anake hoki i uta. 48 Nā, ka kite ia i a rātou e ruwha ana i te hoenga; i hē hoki te hau ki a rātou; ā, i te whā o ngā mataaratanga o te pō ka haere atu ia ki a rātou, i haere māori atu i runga i te moana. Me te mea hoki ka pahika kē i a rātou. 49 Ā, nō ka kite rātou i a ia e haere ana i runga i te moana, ka mahara he wairua, ka auē; 50 i kite hoki rātou katoa i a ia, ā, ihiihi ana.

Otirā, ka hohoro ia te kōrero ki a rātou, ka mea ki a rātou, "Kia manawanui, ko ahau tēnei; kaua e wehi." 51 Nā, ka eke ia ki te kaipuke ki a rātou; ā, māriri iho te hau. Ā, nui atu tō rātou ohomauri, mīharo ana. 52 Kīhai hoki i mahara ki ngā taro, he pakeke hoki nō ō rātou ngākau.

Ka Whakaorangia e Īhu te Hunga Tūroro i Kenehareta

53 Ā, nō tō rātou whitinga atu, ka tae ki te whenua o Kenehareta, ka herea te kaipuke ki uta. 54 Nō tō rātou mahutatanga i te kaipuke, mōhio tonu rātou ki a ia, 55 Ā, ka oma puta noa i taua whenua, ā, tawhio noa, ka anga, ka mau mai i ngā tūroro i runga i ngā moenga ki te wāhi, i rongo ai rātou kei reira ia. 56 Ā, i ōna haerenga katoatanga ki ngā kāinga, ki ngā pā, ki ngā whenua rānei, ka whakatakotoria e rātou ngā tūroro ki ngā kāinga hokohoko, ka īnoi ki a ia kia pā kau atu rātou ki te tāniko o tōna kākahu, ā, ora ake ngā tāngata katoa i pā ki a ia.
