Matthew 8
1 Large crowds followed Jesus once he'd come down from the mountain.
Yesu aliposhuka kutoka mlimani, makutano makubwa ya watu yakamfuata.
2 A leper approached him and bowed down, worshiping him, and said, “Lord, if you're willing, please heal me.”
Mtu mmoja mwenye ukoma akaja na kupiga magoti mbele yake, akasema, “Bwana, kama ukitaka, unaweza kunitakasa.”
3 Jesus reached out and touched him with his hand. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” Immediately he was healed from his leprosy.
Yesu akanyoosha mkono wake akamgusa yule mtu, akamwambia, “Nataka. Takasika!” Mara yule mtu akatakasika ukoma wake.
4 “Make sure you don't tell anyone,” Jesus told him. “Go and show yourself to the priest and give the offering which Moses required as public proof.”
Kisha Yesu akamwambia, “Hakikisha humwambii mtu yeyote. Lakini nenda ukajionyeshe kwa kuhani, na utoe sadaka aliyoamuru Mose, ili kuwa ushuhuda kwao.”
5 When Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came up to him, begging for help,
Yesu alipoingia Kapernaumu, jemadari mmoja alimjia, kumwomba msaada,
6 “Lord, my servant is at home, lying down, unable to move. He's in terrible agony.”
akisema, “Bwana, mtumishi wangu amelala nyumbani na amepooza, tena ana maumivu makali ya kutisha.”
7 “I will come and heal him,” Jesus replied.
Yesu akamwambia, “Nitakuja na kumponya.”
8 The centurion answered, “Lord, I don't merit a visit to my home. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
Lakini yule jemadari akamwambia, “Bwana, mimi sistahili wewe kuingia chini ya dari yangu. Lakini sema neno tu, naye mtumishi wangu atapona.
9 For I am myself under the authority of superiors, while I also have soldiers under my command. I command one, ‘Go!’ and he goes. I command another, ‘Come!’ and he comes. I tell my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
Kwa kuwa mimi mwenyewe ni mtu niliyewekwa chini ya mamlaka, nikiwa na askari chini yangu. Nikimwambia huyu, ‘Nenda,’ yeye huenda; na mwingine nikimwambia, ‘Njoo,’ yeye huja. Nikimwambia mtumishi wangu, ‘Fanya hivi,’ yeye hufanya.”
10 When Jesus heard what he said, he was astonished. He told those who were following him, “I tell you the truth, I haven't found this kind of trust anywhere in Israel.
Yesu aliposikia maneno haya, alishangaa, akawaambia wale waliomfuata, “Amin, nawaambia, hata katika Israeli sijapata kuona yeyote mwenye imani kubwa namna hii.
11 I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
Ninawaambia kwamba wengi watatoka mashariki na magharibi, nao wataketi karamuni pamoja na Abrahamu, Isaki na Yakobo katika Ufalme wa Mbinguni.
12 But the heirs of the kingdom will be thrown out into utter darkness where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.”
Lakini warithi wa Ufalme watatupwa katika giza la nje, ambako kutakuwako kilio na kusaga meno.”
13 Then Jesus told the centurion, “Go home. Because you trusted that it would happen, what you asked for has been done.” The servant was healed right away.
Kisha Yesu akamwambia yule jemadari, “Nenda na iwe kwako sawasawa na imani yako.” Naye yule mtumishi akapona saa ile ile.
14 When Jesus arrived at Peter's house, he saw that Peter's mother-in-law was sick in bed with a high fever.
Yesu alipoingia nyumbani kwa Petro, alimkuta mama mkwe wa Petro amelala kitandani, akiwa ana homa.
15 He touched her hand and the fever left her. She got up and began making him a meal.
Akamgusa mkono wake na homa ikamwacha, naye akainuka na kuanza kumhudumia.
16 When evening came they brought many who were demon-possessed to Jesus. He made the spirits leave at his command, and he healed all those who were sick.
Jioni ile, wakamletea watu wengi waliopagawa na pepo wachafu, naye akawatoa wale pepo wachafu kwa neno lake, na kuwaponya wagonjwa wote.
17 This fulfilled what the prophet Isaiah said: “He healed our diseases, and freed us from our illnesses.”
Haya yalifanyika ili litimie lile lililonenwa kwa kinywa cha nabii Isaya kwamba: “Mwenyewe alitwaa udhaifu wetu na alichukua magonjwa yetu.”
18 When Jesus saw the crowds around him, he gave instructions that they should go to the other side of the lake.
Yesu alipoona makutano mengi wamemzunguka, aliwaamuru wanafunzi wake wavuke mpaka ngʼambo ya ziwa.
19 One of the religious teachers approached him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go!”
Kisha mwalimu mmoja wa sheria akamjia Yesu na kumwambia, “Mwalimu, nitakufuata kokote uendako.”
20 “Foxes have their dens, and wild birds have their nests, but the Son of man has nowhere he can lie down and rest,” Jesus told him.
Naye Yesu akamjibu, “Mbweha wana mapango, nao ndege wa angani wana viota, lakini Mwana wa Adamu hana mahali pa kulaza kichwa chake.”
21 Another disciple said to Jesus, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
Mwanafunzi mwingine akamwambia, “Bwana, niruhusu kwanza nikamzike baba yangu.”
22 “Follow me. Leave the dead to bury their own dead,” Jesus replied.
Lakini Yesu akamwambia, “Nifuate, uwaache wafu wawazike wafu wao.”
23 Then Jesus got into a boat and his disciples went with him.
Naye alipoingia kwenye mashua, wanafunzi wake wakamfuata.
24 A violent storm suddenly blew up, and waves crashed over the boat, but Jesus went on sleeping.
Ghafula, kukainuka dhoruba kali baharini hata mashua ikaanza kufunikwa na mawimbi, lakini Yesu alikuwa amelala usingizi.
25 The disciples went over to him and woke him up. “Save us, Lord! We're going to drown!” they shouted.
Wanafunzi wake wakamwendea na kumwamsha, wakisema, “Bwana, tuokoe! Tunazama!”
26 “Why are you so afraid? Why do you trust so little?” he asked them. Then he got up, and commanded the winds and the waves to stop. Everything was absolutely calm.
Naye Yesu akawaambia, “Kwa nini mnaogopa, enyi wa imani haba?” Kisha akaamka na kukemea dhoruba na mawimbi, nako kukawa shwari kabisa.
27 The disciples were astonished, and said, “Who is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”
Wale watu wakashangaa, wakisema, “Ni mtu wa namna gani huyu? Hata upepo na mawimbi vinamtii!”
28 When he arrived on the other side, in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men came out of the graveyard to meet him. They were so dangerous that nobody dared to travel that way.
Walipofika ngʼambo katika nchi ya Wagerasi, watu wawili waliopagawa na pepo wachafu walitoka makaburini nao wakakutana naye. Watu hawa walikuwa wakali mno kiasi kwamba hakuna mtu aliyeweza kupita njia ile.
29 They shouted out, “What have you got to do with us, you Son of God? Have you come to torture us before our time?”
Wakapiga kelele, “Una nini nasi, Mwana wa Mungu? Umekuja hapa kututesa kabla ya wakati ulioamriwa?”
30 In the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding.
Mbali kidogo kutoka pale walipokuwa, kulikuwa na kundi kubwa la nguruwe wakilisha.
31 The demons pleaded with him, “If you're going to drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
Wale pepo wachafu wakamsihi Yesu, “Ukitutoa humu, turuhusu twende kwenye lile kundi la nguruwe.”
32 “Go!” said Jesus. The demons left the men and went into the pigs. The whole herd ran down the steep hillside into the sea and drowned.
Akawaambia, “Nendeni!” Hivyo wakatoka na kuwaingia wale nguruwe, nalo kundi lote likateremka gengeni kwa kasi, likaingia katika ziwa na kufa ndani ya maji.
33 The pig herders ran away. They went to the town and told the people there everything that had taken place, and what had happened to the demon-possessed men.
Wale watu waliokuwa wakiwachunga hao nguruwe wakakimbia wakaingia mjini, wakaeleza yote kuhusu yale yaliyowatokea wale waliokuwa wamepagawa na pepo wachafu.
34 The whole town came out to meet Jesus. When they found him, they begged him to leave their district.
Kisha watu wote wa mji huo wakatoka kwenda kukutana na Yesu. Nao walipomwona wakamsihi aondoke kwenye nchi yao.
