Luke 8
1 And it came to passe afterwarde, that hee himselfe went through euery citie and towne, preaching and publishing the kingdome of God, and the twelue were with him,
Baada ya haya Yesu alikwenda, akawa anazunguka katika miji na vijiji akihubiri habari njema za Ufalme wa Mungu. Wale wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili walikuwa pamoja naye,
2 And certaine women, which were healed of euill spirites, and infirmities, as Mary which was called Magdalene, out of whom went seuen deuils,
pia baadhi ya wanawake waliokuwa wametolewa pepo wachafu na kuponywa magonjwa. Miongoni mwao alikuwepo Maria Magdalene, aliyetolewa pepo wachafu saba;
3 And Ioanna the wife of Chuza Herods steward, and Susanna, and many other which ministred vnto him of their substance.
Yoana mkewe Kuza, msimamizi wa nyumba ya watu wa nyumbani mwa Herode; Susana; na wengine wengi waliokuwa wakimhudumia kwa mali zao.
4 Nowe when much people were gathered together, and were come vnto him out of all cities, he spake by a parable.
Umati mkubwa wa watu ulipokuwa ukija kwa Yesu kutoka kila mji, akawaambia mfano huu:
5 A sower went out to sowe his seede, and as he sowed, some fell by the wayes side, and it was troden vnder feete, and the foules of heauen deuoured it vp.
“Mpanzi alitoka kwenda kupanda mbegu zake. Alipokuwa akitawanya mbegu, nyingine zilianguka kando ya njia; zikakanyagwa, nao ndege wa angani wakazila.
6 And some fell on the stones, and when it was sprong vp, it withered away, because it lacked moystnesse.
Mbegu nyingine zilianguka penye miamba, nazo zilipoota, hiyo mimea ikakauka kwa kukosa unyevu.
7 And some fell among thornes, and the thornes sprang vp with it, and choked it.
Nazo mbegu nyingine zilianguka kwenye miiba, nayo ile miiba ikakua pamoja nazo, na kuisonga hiyo mimea.
8 And some fell on good ground, and sprang vp, and bare fruite, an hundreth folde. And as hee sayd these things, he cryed, He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
Mbegu nyingine zilianguka kwenye udongo mzuri. Zikaota na kuzaa mara mia moja zaidi ya mbegu alizopanda.” Baada ya kusema haya, Yesu akapaza sauti, akasema, “Mwenye masikio ya kusikia, na asikie.”
9 Then his disciples asked him, demaunding what parable that was.
Wanafunzi wake wakamuuliza maana ya mfano huo.
10 And he sayd, Vnto you it is giuen to know the secrets of ye kingdome of God, but to other in parables, that when they see, they shoulde not see, and when they heare, they should not vnderstand.
Naye akasema, “Ninyi mmepewa kufahamu siri za Ufalme wa Mungu, lakini kwa wengine nazungumza kwa mifano, ili, “‘ingawa wanatazama, wasione; ingawa wanasikiliza, wasielewe.’
11 The parable is this, The seede is the worde of God.
“Maana ya mfano huu ni hii: Mbegu ni neno la Mungu.
12 And they that are beside the way, are they that heare: afterward commeth the deuill, and taketh away the worde out of their hearts, least they should beleeue, and be saued.
Zile zilizoanguka kando ya njia ni wale ambao husikia neno, naye ibilisi anakuja na kuliondoa neno kutoka mioyoni mwao, ili wasije wakaamini na kuokoka.
13 But they that are on the stones, are they which when they haue heard, receiue ye word with ioy: but they haue no rootes: which for a while beleeue, but in the time of tentation goe away.
Zile mbegu zilizoanguka kwenye mwamba ni wale ambao hulipokea neno kwa furaha wanapolisikia, lakini hawana mizizi. Wanaamini kwa muda mfupi, lakini wakati wa kujaribiwa huiacha imani.
14 And that which fell among thornes, are they which haue heard, and after their departure are choked with cares and with riches, and voluptuous liuing, and bring forth no fruite.
Zile mbegu zilizoanguka kwenye miiba ni mfano wa wale wanaosikia, lakini wanapoendelea husongwa na masumbufu ya maisha haya, utajiri na anasa, nao hawakui.
15 But that which fell in good ground, are they which with an honest and good heart heare the worde, and keepe it, and bring forth fruite with patience.
Lakini zile mbegu zilizoanguka kwenye udongo mzuri ni mfano wa wale ambao hulisikia neno la Mungu na kulishika kwa moyo mnyofu wa utiifu, nao kwa kuvumilia kwingi huzaa matunda.
16 No man when he hath lighted a candle, couereth it vnder a vessell, neither putteth it vnder the bed, but setteth it on a candlesticke, that they that enter in, may see the light.
“Hakuna mtu awashaye taa na kuificha ndani ya gudulia au kuiweka mvunguni mwa kitanda. Badala yake, huiweka juu ya kinara, ili wale waingiao ndani waone mwanga.
17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be euident: neither any thing hid, that shall not be knowen, and come to light.
Kwa maana hakuna jambo lolote lililofichika ambalo halitafichuliwa, wala lolote lililositirika ambalo halitajulikana na kuwekwa wazi.
18 Take heede therefore how ye heare: for whosoeuer hath, to him shall be giuen: and whosoeuer hath not, from him shalbe taken euen that which it seemeth that he hath.
Kwa hiyo, kuweni waangalifu mnavyosikia. Kwa maana yeyote aliye na kitu atapewa zaidi. Lakini yule asiye na kitu, hata kile anachodhani anacho atanyangʼanywa.”
19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come neere to him for the preasse.
Wakati mmoja mama yake Yesu na ndugu zake walikuja kumwona, lakini hawakuweza kumfikia kwa sababu ya msongamano wa watu.
20 And it was tolde him by certaine which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, and would see thee.
Mtu mmoja akamwambia, “Mama yako na ndugu zako wako nje wanataka kukuona.”
21 But he answered, and sayd vnto them, My mother and my brethren are these which heare the worde of God, and doe it.
Yesu akamjibu, “Mama yangu na ndugu zangu ni wale wote wanaolisikia neno la Mungu na kulifanya.”
22 And it came to passe on a certaine day, that he went into a ship with his disciples, and he sayd vnto them, Let vs goe ouer vnto the other side of the lake. And they lanched forth.
Siku moja Yesu alipanda ndani ya mashua pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akawaambia, “Tuvukeni twende mpaka ngʼambo ya ziwa.” Nao wakaondoka.
23 And as they sayled, he fell a sleepe, and there came downe a storme of winde on the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in ieopardie.
Hivyo walipokuwa wakienda, akalala usingizi. Dhoruba kali ikatokea mle ziwani, hata mashua ikawa inajaa maji, nao walikuwa katika hatari kubwa.
24 Then they went to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, Master, we perish. And he arose, and rebuked the winde, and the waues of water: and they ceased, and it was calme.
Wanafunzi wake wakamwendea na kumwamsha, wakisema, “Bwana, Bwana, tunaangamia!” Yeye akaamka, akaukemea ule upepo na yale mawimbi; dhoruba ikakoma, nako kukawa shwari.
25 Then he sayde vnto them, Where is your fayth? and they feared, and wondered among them selues, saying, Who is this that commandeth both the windes and water, and they obey him!
Akawauliza wanafunzi wake, “Imani yenu iko wapi?” Kwa woga na mshangao wakaulizana, “Huyu ni nani, ambaye anaamuru hata upepo na maji, navyo vikamtii?”
26 So they sailed vnto the region of the Gadarenes, which is ouer against Galile.
Basi wakafika katika nchi ya Wagerasi, ambayo iko upande wa pili wa ziwa kutoka Galilaya.
27 And as he went out to land, there met him a certaine man out of the citie, which had deuils long time, and he ware no garment, neither abode in house, but in the graues.
Yesu aliposhuka kutoka mashua na kukanyaga ufuoni, alikutana na mtu mmoja wa mji ule aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo mchafu, naye kwa muda mrefu alikuwa havai nguo wala kuishi nyumbani, bali aliishi makaburini.
28 And when he sawe Iesus, he cryed out and fell downe before him, and with a loude voyce sayd, What haue I to doe with thee, Iesus the Sonne of God the most High? I beseech thee torment me not.
Alipomwona Yesu, alipiga kelele, akajitupa chini mbele yake na kusema kwa sauti kuu, “Una nini nami, Yesu, Mwana wa Mungu Aliye Juu Sana? Nakuomba, usinitese!”
29 For he commanded ye foule spirit to come out of the man: (for oft times he had caught him: therefore he was bound with chaines, and kept in fetters: but he brake the bands, and was caried of the deuill into wildernesses.)
Wakati huo Yesu alikuwa amemwamuru yule pepo mchafu amtoke huyo mtu. Mara nyingi huyo pepo mchafu alimpagaa, na hata alipofungwa kwa minyororo mikono na miguu na kuwekwa chini ya ulinzi, alikata hiyo minyororo na kupelekwa na huyo pepo mchafu kwenda nyikani.
30 Then Iesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? and he sayd, Legion, because many deuils were entred into him.
Yesu akamuuliza, “Jina lako ni nani?” Akamjibu, “Legioni,” kwa kuwa alikuwa ameingiwa na pepo wachafu wengi mno.
Wale pepo wachafu wakamsihi sana asiwaamuru kwenda katika Shimo. (Abyssos g12)
32 And there was there by, an hearde of many swine, feeding on an hill: and the deuils besought him, that he would suffer them to enter into them. So he suffered them.
Palikuwa na kundi kubwa la nguruwe hapo likilisha kando ya kilima. Wale pepo wachafu wakamsihi Yesu awaruhusu wawaingie hao nguruwe, naye akawaruhusu.
33 Then went the deuils out of the man, and entred into the swine: and the hearde was caried with violence from a steepe downe place into the lake, and was choked.
Wale pepo wachafu walipomtoka yule mtu, wakawaingia wale nguruwe, nalo kundi lote likateremkia gengeni kwa kasi, likatumbukia ziwani na kuzama.
34 When the heardmen sawe what was done, they fled: and when they were departed, they tolde it in the citie and in the countrey.
Wale watu waliokuwa wakichunga lile kundi la nguruwe walipoona yaliyotukia, wakakimbia, wakaeneza habari hizi mjini na mashambani.
35 Then they came out to see what was done, and came to Iesus, and found the man, out of whom the deuils were departed, sitting at the feete of Iesus, clothed, and in his right minde: and they were afrayd.
Nao watu wakatoka kwenda kujionea wenyewe yaliyotukia. Walipofika hapo alipokuwa Yesu, wakamkuta yule mtu aliyetokwa na pepo wachafu amekaa karibu na Yesu, akiwa amevaa nguo na mwenye akili timamu! Wakaogopa.
36 They also which saw it, tolde them by what meanes he that was possessed with the deuill, was healed.
Wale walioyaona mambo hayo wakawaeleza watu wengine jinsi yule mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo wachafu alivyoponywa.
37 Then the whole multitude of the countrey about the Gadarenes, besought him that he would depart from them: for they were taken with a great feare: and he went into the ship, and returned.
Ndipo watu wote wa nchi ile ya Wagerasi wakamwomba Yesu aondoke kwao, kwa sababu walikuwa wamejawa na hofu. Basi akaingia katika mashua, akaondoka zake.
38 Then the man, out of whome the deuils were departed, besought him that hee might be with him: but Iesus sent him away, saying,
Yule mtu aliyetokwa na pepo wachafu akamsihi Yesu afuatane naye, lakini Yesu akamuaga, akamwambia:
39 Returne into thine owne house, and shewe what great things God hath done to thee. So hee went his way, and preached throughout all the citie, what great things Iesus had done vnto him.
“Rudi nyumbani ukawaeleze mambo makuu Mungu aliyokutendea.” Kwa hiyo yule mtu akaenda, akatangaza katika mji wote mambo makuu ambayo Yesu alimtendea.
40 And it came to passe, when Iesus was come againe, that the people receiued him: for they all waited for him.
Basi Yesu aliporudi, umati mkubwa wa watu ukampokea kwa furaha, kwani walikuwa wakimngojea.
41 And beholde, there came a man named Iairus, and he was the ruler of the Synagogue, who fell downe at Iesus feete, and besought him that he would come into his house.
Kisha mtu mmoja, jina lake Yairo, aliyekuwa kiongozi wa sinagogi, akaja na kuanguka miguuni mwa Yesu, akimwomba afike nyumbani kwake,
42 For he had but a daughter onely, about twelue yeeres of age, and she lay a dying (and as he went, the people thronged him.
kwa kuwa binti yake wa pekee, mwenye umri wa miaka kumi na miwili, alikuwa anakufa. Yesu alipokuwa akienda, umati wa watu ukamsonga sana.
43 And a woman hauing an yssue of blood, twelue yeeres long, which had spent all her substance vpon physicians, and could not be healed of any:
Katika umati huo palikuwa na mwanamke mmoja aliyekuwa na tatizo la kutokwa damu kwa muda wa miaka kumi na miwili. Tena alikuwa amegharimia yote aliyokuwa nayo kwa ajili ya matibabu, wala hakuna yeyote aliyeweza kumponya.
44 When she came behind him, she touched the hemme of his garment, and immediatly her yssue of blood stanched.
Huyo mwanamke akaja kwa nyuma ya Yesu na kugusa upindo wa vazi lake. Mara kutokwa damu kwake kukakoma.
45 Then Iesus sayd, Who is it that hath touched me? When euery man denied, Peter sayd and they that were with him, Master, the multitude thrust thee, and tread on thee, and sayest thou, Who hath touched me?
Yesu akauliza, “Ni nani aliyenigusa?” Watu wote walipokana, Petro akasema, “Bwana, huu umati wa watu unakusonga na kukusukuma kila upande.”
46 And Iesus sayde, Some one hath touched me: for I perceiue that vertue is gone out of me.
Lakini Yesu akasema, “Kuna mtu aliyenigusa, kwa maana nimetambua kuwa nguvu zimenitoka.”
47 When the woman sawe that she was not hid, she came trembling, and fell downe before him, and tolde him before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediatly.
Yule mwanamke alipofahamu ya kuwa hawezi kuendelea kujificha, alikuja akitetemeka, akaanguka miguuni mwa Yesu. Akaeleza mbele ya watu wote kwa nini alimgusa na jinsi alivyoponywa mara.
48 And he said vnto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath saued thee: go in peace.)
Basi Yesu akamwambia, “Binti, imani yako imekuponya. Nenda kwa amani.”
49 While he yet spake, there came one from the ruler of the Synagogues house, which sayde to him, Thy daughter is dead: disease not the Master.
Yesu alipokuwa bado anasema, akaja mtumishi kutoka nyumbani kwa Yairo, yule kiongozi wa sinagogi, kumwambia, “Binti yako amekwisha kufa. Usiendelee kumsumbua Mwalimu.”
50 When Iesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Feare not: beleeue onely, and she shall be saued.
Yesu aliposikia jambo hili, akamwambia Yairo, “Usiogope. Amini tu, naye binti yako atapona.”
51 And when he went into the house, he suffered no man to goe in with him, saue Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and the father and mother of the maide.
Walipofika nyumbani kwa Yairo, hakumruhusu mtu yeyote aingie ndani naye isipokuwa Petro, Yakobo na Yohana, pamoja na baba na mama wa yule binti.
52 And all wept, and sorowed for her: but he sayd, Weepe not: for she is not dead, but sleepeth.
Wakati ule ule watu wote walikuwa wakilia na kuomboleza kwa ajili ya huyo binti. Yesu akawaambia, “Acheni kulia. Huyu binti hajafa, ila amelala.”
53 And they laught him to scorne, knowing that she was dead.
Wao wakamcheka kwa dharau, wakijua kuwa amekwisha kufa.
54 So he thrust them all out, and tooke her by the hand, and cryed, saying, Maide, arise.
Yesu akamshika yule binti mkono na kuita, “Binti, amka!”
55 And her spirite came againe, and she rose straightway: and he comanded to giue her meate.
Roho yake ikamrudia, naye akainuka mara moja. Akaamuru apewe kitu cha kula.
56 Then her parents were astonied: but hee commanded them that they should tell no man what was done.
Wazazi wake wakastaajabu sana, lakini Yesu akawakataza wasimwambie mtu yeyote juu ya yale yaliyotukia.
