Mark 8
1 In those dayes, when there was a very great multitude, and had nothing to eate, Iesus called his disciples to him, and said vnto them,
Katika siku hizo, umati mkubwa wa watu ulikusanyika tena. Kwa kuwa walikuwa hawana chakula, Yesu akawaita wanafunzi wake akawaambia,
2 I haue compassion on the multitude, because they haue nowe continued with mee three dayes, and haue nothing to eate.
“Ninauhurumia huu umati wa watu, kwa sababu sasa wamekuwa nami kwa muda wa siku tatu na hawana chakula.
3 And if I sende them away fasting to their owne houses, they woulde faint by the way: for some of them came from farre.
Nikiwaaga waende nyumbani bila kula, watazimia njiani kwa sababu baadhi yao wametoka mbali.”
4 Then his disciples answered him, Whence can a man satisfie these with bread here in the wildernes?
Wanafunzi wake wakamjibu, “Lakini hapa nyikani tutapata wapi mikate ya kutosha kuwalisha?”
5 And hee asked them, Howe many loaues haue ye? And they said, Seuen.
Yesu akawauliza, “Mna mikate mingapi?” Wakajibu, “Tuna mikate saba.”
6 Then he commanded the multitude to sit downe on the grounde: and hee tooke the seuen loaues, and gaue thankes, brake them, and gaue to his disciples to set before them, and they did set them before the people.
Akawaambia watu waketi chini. Akiisha kuichukua mikate saba na kushukuru, akaimega na kuwapa wanafunzi wake ili wawagawie watu. Wanafunzi wake wakafanya hivyo.
7 They had also a few small fishes: and when he had giuen thankes, he commanded them also to be set before them.
Walikuwa pia na visamaki vichache, Yesu akavibariki, akawaamuru wanafunzi wake wawagawie watu.
8 So they did eate, and were sufficed, and they tooke vp of the broken meate that was left, seuen baskets full.
Wale watu walikula na kutosheka. Baadaye wanafunzi wakakusanya vipande vilivyosalia, wakajaza vikapu saba.
9 (And they that had eaten, were about foure thousand) so he sent them away.
Watu waliokula walikuwa wapata 4,000. Akiisha kuwaaga,
10 And anon he entred into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
aliingia kwenye mashua pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akaenda sehemu za Dalmanutha.
11 And the Pharises came foorth, and began to dispute with him, seeking of him a signe from heauen, and tempting him.
Mafarisayo wakaja, wakaanza kumhoji Yesu. Ili kumtega, wakamwomba awaonyeshe ishara kutoka mbinguni.
12 Then hee sighed deepely in his spirit, and saide, Why doeth this generation seeke a signe? Verely I say vnto you, a signe shall not be giuen vnto this generation.
Akahuzunika moyoni, akawaambia, “Kwa nini kizazi hiki kinataka ishara? Amin nawaambieni, hakitapewa ishara yoyote.”
13 So he left them, and went into the ship againe, and departed to the other side.
Kisha akawaacha, akarudi kwenye mashua, akavuka hadi ngʼambo.
14 And they had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the shippe with them, but one loafe.
Wanafunzi walikuwa wamesahau kuchukua mikate ya kutosha. Walikuwa na mkate mmoja tu kwenye mashua.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heede, and beware of the leauen of the Pharises, and of the leauen of Herod.
Yesu akawaonya: “Jihadharini na chachu ya Mafarisayo na ya Herode.”
16 And they reasoned among themselues, saying, It is, because we haue no bread.
Wakajadiliana wao kwa wao, na kusema, “Anasema hivi kwa sababu hatukuleta mikate.”
17 And when Iesus knew it, he said vnto them, Why reason you thus, because ye haue no bread? perceiue ye not yet, neither vnderstande? haue ye your hearts yet hardened?
Yesu, akifahamu majadiliano yao, akawauliza: “Mbona mnajadiliana kuhusu kutokuwa na mikate? Je, bado hamtambui wala hamwelewi? Je, mbona mioyo yenu ni migumu kiasi hicho?
18 Haue yee eyes, and see not? and haue yee eares, and heare not? and doe ye not remember?
Je, mna macho lakini mnashindwa kuona, na mna masikio lakini mnashindwa kusikia? Je, hamkumbuki?
19 When I brake the fiue loaues among fiue thousand, how many baskets full of broken meate tooke ye vp? They said vnto him, Twelue.
Nilipoimega ile mikate mitano kuwalisha watu 5,000, mlikusanya vikapu vingapi vilivyojaa vya masazo?” Wakamjibu, “Kumi na viwili.”
20 And when I brake seuen among foure thousande, howe many baskets of the leauings of broken meate tooke ye vp? And they said, Seuen.
“Je, nilipoimega ile mikate saba kuwalisha watu 4,000, mlikusanya vikapu vingapi vilivyojaa vya masazo?” Wakamjibu, “Saba.”
21 Then he saide vnto them, Howe is it that ye vnderstand not?
Ndipo akawauliza, “Je, bado hamwelewi?”
22 And hee came to Bethsaida, and they brought a blinde man vnto him, and desired him to touch him.
Wakafika Bethsaida na baadhi ya watu wakamleta mtu mmoja kipofu wakamsihi Yesu amguse.
23 Then he tooke the blinde by the hand, and ledde him out of the towne, and spat in his eyes, and put his handes vpon him, and asked him, if he sawe ought.
Yesu akamshika mkono huyo kipofu akampeleka nje ya kijiji. Baada ya kuyatemea mate macho ya yule kipofu na kumwekea mikono, Yesu akamuuliza, “Unaona chochote?”
24 And he looked vp, and said, I see men: for I see them walking like trees.
Yule kipofu akaangalia, akasema, “Ninaona watu, wanaonekana kama miti inayotembea.”
25 After that, he put his hands againe vpon his eyes, and made him looke againe. And hee was restored to his sight, and sawe euery man a farre off clearely.
Yesu akamwekea tena mikono machoni. Kisha macho yake yakafunguka, kuona kwake kukarejea naye akaona kila kitu dhahiri.
26 And hee sent him home to his house, saying, Neither goe into the towne, nor tell it to any in the towne.
Yesu akamuaga aende nyumbani kwake, akimwambia, “Hata kijijini usiingie.”
27 And Iesus went out, and his disciples into the townes of Cesarea Philippi. And by the way hee asked his disciples, saying vnto them, Whome doe men say that I am?
Yesu na wanafunzi wake wakaondoka kwenda katika vijiji vya Kaisaria-Filipi. Walipokuwa njiani, Yesu akawauliza, “Watu husema mimi ni nani?”
28 And they answered, Some say, Iohn Baptist: and some, Elias: and some, one of the Prophets.
Wakamjibu, “Baadhi husema wewe ni Yohana Mbatizaji, wengine husema ni Eliya, na bado wengine husema wewe ni mmojawapo wa manabii.”
29 And he said vnto them, But whome say ye that I am? Then Peter answered, and saide vnto him, Thou art that Christ.
Akawauliza, “Je, ninyi mnasema mimi ni nani?” Petro akajibu, “Wewe ndiwe Kristo.”
30 And he sharpely charged them, that concerning him they should tell no man.
Yesu akawaonya wasimwambie mtu yeyote habari zake.
31 Then hee began to teache them that the Sonne of man must suffer many things, and should be reproued of the Elders, and of the hie Priestes, and of the Scribes, and be slaine, and within three dayes rise againe.
Ndipo akaanza kuwafundisha wanafunzi wake kuwa Mwana wa Adamu lazima atapata mateso mengi na kukataliwa na wazee, viongozi wa makuhani, na walimu wa sheria, na kwamba itampasa auawe lakini baada ya siku tatu afufuke.
32 And he spake that thing boldly. Then Peter tooke him aside, and began to rebuke him.
Aliyasema haya waziwazi, ndipo Petro akamchukua kando na akaanza kumkemea.
33 Then he turned backe, and looked on his disciples, and rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behinde me, Satan: for thou vnderstandest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.
Lakini Yesu alipogeuka na kuwaangalia wanafunzi wake, akamkemea Petro. Akasema, “Rudi nyuma yangu, Shetani! Moyo wako hauwazi yaliyo ya Mungu, bali ya wanadamu.”
34 And hee called the people vnto him with his disciples, and saide vnto them, Whosoeuer will follow me, let him forsake himselfe, and take vp his crosse, and follow me.
Ndipo akauita ule umati wa watu pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akasema, “Mtu yeyote akitaka kunifuata, ni lazima ajikane mwenyewe, auchukue msalaba wake, anifuate.
35 For whosoeuer will saue his life, shall lose it: but whosoeuer shall lose his life for my sake and the Gospels, he shall saue it.
Kwa maana yeyote anayetaka kuyaokoa maisha yake atayapoteza, lakini yeyote atakayeyapoteza maisha yake kwa ajili yangu na kwa ajili ya Injili atayaokoa.
36 For what shall it profite a man, though he should winne the whole world, if he lose his soule?
Je, itamfaidi nini mtu kuupata ulimwengu wote, lakini akayapoteza maisha yake?
37 Or what exchange shall a man giue for his soule?
Au mtu atatoa nini badala ya nafsi yake?
38 For whosoeuer shall be ashamed of mee, and of my wordes among this adulterous and sinfull generation, of him shall the Sonne of man be ashamed also, when he commeth in the glorie of his Father with the holy Angels.
Mtu yeyote akinionea aibu mimi na maneno yangu katika kizazi hiki cha uzinzi na dhambi, Mwana wa Adamu naye atamwonea aibu wakati atakapokuja katika utukufu wa Baba yake pamoja na malaika watakatifu.”
