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,
Wakati huo umati mkubwa wa watu ulikusanyika tena, na hawakuwa na chakula. Basi, 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.
“Nawahurumia watu hawa kwa sababu wamekuwa nami kwa muda wa siku tatu, wala 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.
Nikiwaacha waende nyumbani wakiwa na njaa watazimia njiani, maana baadhi yao wametoka mbali.”
4 Then his disciples answered him, Whence can a man satisfie these with bread here in the wildernes?
Wanafunzi wake wakamwuliza, “Hapa nyikani itapatikana wapi mikate ya kuwashibisha watu hawa wote?”
5 And hee asked them, Howe many loaues haue ye? And they said, Seuen.
Yesu akawauliza, “Mnayo mikate mingapi?” Nao wakamjibu, “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.
Basi, akawaamuru watu wakae chini. Akaitwaa ile mikate saba, akamshukuru Mungu, akaimega, akawapa wanafunzi wake wawagawie watu, nao wakawagawia.
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, akaamuru vigawiwe watu vilevile.
8 So they did eate, and were sufficed, and they tooke vp of the broken meate that was left, seuen baskets full.
Watu wakala, wakashiba. Wakaokota mabaki yaliyosalia wakajaza makapu saba.
9 (And they that had eaten, were about foure thousand) so he sent them away.
Nao waliokula walikuwa watu wapatao elfu nne. Yesu akawaaga,
10 And anon he entred into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
na mara akapanda mashua pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akaenda wilaya ya Dalmanutha.
11 And the Pharises came foorth, and began to dispute with him, seeking of him a signe from heauen, and tempting him.
Mafarisayo walikuja, wakaanza kujadiliana na Yesu. Kwa kumjaribu, wakamtaka awafanyie ishara kuonyesha anayo idhini 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.
Yesu akahuzunika rohoni, akasema, “Mbona kizazi hiki kinataka ishara? Kweli nawaambieni, kizazi hiki hakitapewa ishara yoyote!”
13 So he left them, and went into the ship againe, and departed to the other side.
Basi, akawaacha, akapanda tena mashua, akaanza safari kwenda ng'ambo ya pili ya ziwa.
14 And they had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the shippe with them, but one loafe.
Wanafunzi walikuwa wamesahau kuchukua mikate; walikuwa na mkate mmoja tu katika 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, “Angalieni sana! Jihadharini na chachu ya Mafarisayo na chachu ya Herode.”
16 And they reasoned among themselues, saying, It is, because we haue no bread.
Wanafunzi wakaanza kujadiliana wao kwa wao, “Anasema hivyo kwa kuwa hatuna 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 alitambua hayo, akawaambia, “Mbona mnajadiliana juu ya kutokuwa na mikate? Je, bado hamjafahamu, wala hamjaelewa? Je, mioyo yenu imeshupaa?
18 Haue yee eyes, and see not? and haue yee eares, and heare not? and doe ye not remember?
Je, Mnayo macho na hamwoni? Mnayo masikio na hamsikii? 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.
wakati ule nilipoimega ile mikate mitano na kuwapa watu elfu tano? Mlikusanya vikapu vingapi vya mabaki ya makombo?” 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.
“Na nilipoimega ile mikate saba na kuwapa watu elfu nne, mlikusanya makapu mangapi ya makombo?” Wakamjibu, “Saba.”
21 Then he saide vnto them, Howe is it that ye vnderstand not?
Basi, akawaambia, “Na bado hamjaelewa?”
22 And hee came to Bethsaida, and they brought a blinde man vnto him, and desired him to touch him.
Yesu alifika Bethsaida pamoja na wanafunzi wake. Huko watu wakamletea kipofu mmoja, wakamwomba 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. Akamtemea mate machoni, akamwekea mikono, akamwuliza, “Je, unaweza kuona kitu?”
24 And he looked vp, and said, I see men: for I see them walking like trees.
Huyo kipofu akatazama, akasema, “Ninawaona watu wanaoonekana 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.
Kisha Yesu akamwekea tena mikono machoni, naye akakaza macho, uwezo wake wa kuona ukamrudia, akaona kila kitu sawasawa.
26 And hee sent him home to his house, saying, Neither goe into the towne, nor tell it to any in the towne.
Yesu akamwambia aende zake nyumbani na kumwamuru, “Usirudi kijijini!”
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?
Kisha Yesu na wanafunzi wake walikwenda katika vijiji vya Kaisarea Filipi. Walipokuwa njiani, Yesu aliwauliza wanafunzi wake, “Watu wanasema mimi ni nani?”
28 And they answered, Some say, Iohn Baptist: and some, Elias: and some, one of the Prophets.
Wakamjibu, “Wengine wanasema wewe ni Yohane Mbatizaji, wengine Eliya na wengine 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.
Naye akawauliza, “Na ninyi je, mnasema mimi ni nani?” Petro akamjibu, “Wewe ndiwe Kristo.”
30 And he sharpely charged them, that concerning him they should tell no man.
Kisha 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.
Yesu alianza kuwafundisha wanafunzi wake: “Ni lazima Mwana wa Mtu apatwe na mateso mengi na kukataliwa na wazee na makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria. Atauawa na baada ya siku tatu atafufuka.”
32 And he spake that thing boldly. Then Peter tooke him aside, and began to rebuke him.
Yesu aliwaambia jambo hilo waziwazi. Basi, Petro akamchukua kando, 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 akageuka, akawatazama wanafunzi wake, akamkemea Petro akisema, “Ondoka mbele yangu, Shetani! Fikira zako si za kimungu ila ni za kibinadamu!”
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.
Kisha akauita umati wa watu pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akawaambia, “Mtu yeyote akitaka kuwa mfuasi wangu, 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.
Maana mtu anayetaka kuyaokoa maisha yake mwenyewe, atayapoteza, lakini mtu atakayepoteza maisha yake kwa ajili yangu na kwa ajili ya Habari Njema, atayaokoa.
36 For what shall it profite a man, though he should winne the whole world, if he lose his soule?
Je, kuna faida gani mtu kuupata ulimwengu wote na kuyapoteza maisha yake?
37 Or what exchange shall a man giue for his soule?
Ama mtu atatoa kitu gani badala ya maisha 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 katika kizazi hiki kiovu na kisichomjali Mungu anayenionea aibu mimi na mafundisho yangu, Mwana wa Mtu atamwonea aibu mtu huyo wakati atakapokuja katika utukufu wa Baba yake pamoja na malaika watakatifu.”
