< Mark 11 >
1 And when they come near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, to the Mount of Olives, He sends forth two of His disciples,
Wakati huo walipokuja Yerusalemu, walipokaribia Besthfage na Bethania, katika Mlima wa Mizeituni, Yesu aliwatuma wawili miongoni mwa wanafunzi wake
2 and says to them, “Go away into the village that is in front of you, and immediately, entering into it, you will find a colt tied, on which no one of men has sat, having loosed it, bring [it]:
na aliwaambia, “Nendeni katika kijiji kinachokabiliana nasi. Mara mtakapoingia humo, mtamkuta mwanapunda ambaye hajapandwa. Mfungueni na mmlete kwangu.
3 and if anyone may say to you, Why do you do this? Say that the LORD has need of it, and immediately He will send it here.”
Na kama yeyote akiwaambia, 'Kwa nini mnafanya hivi'?, mnapaswa kusema, 'Bwana anamhitaji na mara atamrudisha hapa'.”
4 And they went away, and found the colt tied at the door outside, by the two ways, and they loose it,
Walikwenda na kumkuta mwanapunda amefungwa nje mlangoni kwenye mtaa ulio wazi, nao walimfungua.
5 and certain of those standing there said to them, “What do you—loosing the colt?”
Na baadhi ya watu walikuwa wamesimama pale na waliwaambia, “Mnafanya nini, kumfungua mwanapunda huyo?”
6 And they said to them as Jesus commanded, and they permitted them.
Waliwaambia kama Yesu alivyowaambia, na watu wakawaacha waende.
7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on it, and He sat on it,
Wanafunzi wawili walimleta mwanapunda kwa Yesu na walitandika mavazi yao juu yake ili Yesu aweze kumpanda.
8 and many spread their garments in the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way.
Watu wengi wakatandika mavazi yao barabarani, na wengine wakatandika matawi waliyoyakata kutoka mashambani.
9 And those going before and those following were crying out, saying, “Hosanna! Blessed [is] He who is coming in the Name of the LORD;
Wale waliokwenda mbele yake na wale waliomfuata walipiga kelele, “Hosana! Amebarikiwa anayekuja kwa jina la Bwana.
10 blessed is the coming kingdom, in the Name of the LORD, of our father David; Hosanna in the highest!”
Ubarikiwe ufalme unaokuja wa baba yetu Daudi! Hosana kwa aliye juu”
11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple, and having looked around on all things, it being now evening, He went forth to Bethany with the Twelve.
Ndipo Yesu aliingia Yerusalemu na alikwenda hekaluni na alitazama kila kitu. Sasa, wakati ulikuwa umeenda, alikwenda Bethania pamoja nao kumi na wawili.
12 And on the next day, they having come forth from Bethany, He hungered,
Siku iliyofuata, wakati walipokuwa wakirudi kutoka Bethania, alikuwa na njaa.
13 and having seen a fig tree far off having leaves, He came, if perhaps He will find anything in it, and having come to it, He found nothing except leaves, for it was not a time of figs,
Na akaona mti wa mtini uliokuwa na majani kwa mbali, alikwenda kutazama kama angeweza kupata chochote juu yake. Na wakati alipokwenda kwa huo, hakupata chochote isipokuwa majani, kwa kuwa haikuwa majira ya mtini.
14 and Jesus answering said to it, “No longer from you—throughout the age—may any eat fruit”; and His disciples were hearing. (aiōn )
Aliuambia, “Hakuna yeyote atakayekula tunda kutoka kwako tena”. Na wanafunzi wake wakasikia. (aiōn )
15 And they come to Jerusalem, and Jesus having gone into the temple, began to cast forth those selling and buying in the temple, and He overthrew the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those selling the doves,
Walikuja Yerusalemu, naye aliingia hekaluni na kuanza kuwatoa nje wauzaji na wanunuzi ndani ya hekalu. Alizipindua meza za wabadilishaji wa fedha na viti vya wale waliokuwa wakiuza njiwa.
16 and He did not permit that any might carry a vessel through the temple,
Hakumruhusu yeyote kubeba chochote hekaluni kilichoweza kuuzwa.
17 and He was teaching, saying to them, “Has it not been written: My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations? And you made it a den of robbers!”
Aliwafundisha na akasema, “Je haikuandikwa, 'nyumba yangu itaitwa nyumba ya sala kwa mataifa yote'? Lakini mmeifanya pango la wanyang'anyi”.
18 And the scribes and the chief priests heard, and they were seeking how they will destroy Him, for they were afraid of Him, because all the multitude was astonished at His teaching;
Makuhani wakuu na waandishi walisikia alivyokuwa amesema, nao walitafuta njia ya kumwua. Hata hivyo walimwogopa kwa sababu umati ulishangazwa na mafundisho yake.
19 and when evening came, He was going forth outside the city.
Na kila wakati jioni ilipofika, waliondoka mjini.
20 And in the morning, passing by, they saw the fig tree having been dried up from the roots,
Walipokuwa wakitembea asubuhi, waliuona mti wa mtini umekauka mpaka kwenye mizizi yake.
21 and Peter having remembered says to Him, “Rabbi, behold, the fig tree that You cursed is dried up.”
Petro alikumbuka na kusema, “Rabi! Tazama, mti wa mtini ulioulaani umekauka”.
22 And Jesus answering says to them, “Have faith from God;
Yesu aliwajibu, “Muwe na imani katika Mungu.
23 for truly I say to you that whoever may say to this mountain, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he says come to pass, it will be to him whatever he may say.
Amini nawaambia kwamba kila auambiaye mlima huu, 'Ondoka, na ukajitupe mwenyewe baharini, 'na kama hana mashaka moyoni mwake lakini anaamini kwamba alichokisema kitatokea, hivyo ndivyo Mungu atakavyofanya.
24 Because of this I say to you, all whatever—praying—you ask, believe that you receive, and it will be to you.
Kwa hiyo ninawaambia: kila kitu muombacho na kuuliza kwa ajili yake, aminini kwamba mmepokea, navyo vitakuwa vyenu.
25 And whenever you may stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, that your Father who is in the heavens may also forgive you your trespasses;
Wakati mnaposimama na kuomba, mnapaswa kusamehe chochote mlichonacho dhidi ya yeyote, ili kwamba Baba yenu aliye mbinguni awasamehe pia ninyi makosa yenu.
26 [[and, if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.”]]
(Zingatia: Mstari huu, “Lakini msiposamehe, wala Baba yenu aliye mbinguni hatasamehe dhambi zenu” haumo kwenye nakala za kale).
27 And they come again to Jerusalem, and in the temple, as He is walking, there come to Him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
Walikuja Yerusalemu tena. Na Yesu alipokuwa akitembea hekaluni, makuhani wakuu, waandishi na wazee walikuja kwake.
28 and they say to Him, “By what authority do You do these things? And who gave You this authority that You may do these things?”
Walimwambia, “Kwa mamlaka gani unafanya mambo haya?” Na ni nani aliyekupa mamlaka kuyafanya haya?”
29 And Jesus answering said to them, “I will question you—I also—one word; and answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things;
Yesu aliwaambia, “Nitawauliza swali moja. Niambieni na mimi nitawaambia kwa mamlaka gani ninayafanya mambo haya.
30 the immersion of John—was it from Heaven or from men? Answer Me.”
Je, ubatizo wa Yohana ulitoka mbinguni au ulitoka kwa wanadamu? Nijibuni.”
31 And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, “If we may say, From Heaven, He will say, Why then did you not believe him?
Walijadiliana miongoni mwao na kushindana na kusema, “Kama tukisema, 'Kutoka mbinguni,' atasema, 'Kwa nini basi hamkumwamini?'
32 But if we may say, From men…” They were fearing the people, for all were holding that John was indeed a prophet;
Lakini kama tukisema, 'Kutoka kwa wanadamu,'...” Waliwaogopa watu, kwa kuwa wote walishikilia kwamba Yohana alikuwa Nabii.
33 and answering they say to Jesus, “We have not known”; and Jesus answering says to them, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
Ndipo walimjibu Yesu na kusema, “Hatujui. Ndipo Yesu akawaambia, “Wala mimi sitawaambia ni kwa mamlaka gani nayafanya mambo haya.
