Mark 8
1 In those days the multitude being very great, and not having what they may eat, Jesus having called near His disciples, says to them,
Wakati huo umati mkubwa wa watu ulikusanyika tena, na hawakuwa na chakula. Basi, Yesu akawaita wanafunzi wake, akawaambia,
2 “I have compassion on the multitude, because now three days they continue with Me, and they have not what they may eat;
“Nawahurumia watu hawa kwa sababu wamekuwa nami kwa muda wa siku tatu, wala hawana chakula.
3 and if I will let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.”
Nikiwaacha waende nyumbani wakiwa na njaa watazimia njiani, maana baadhi yao wametoka mbali.”
4 And His disciples answered Him, “From where will anyone be able to feed these here in a wilderness with bread?”
Wanafunzi wake wakamwuliza, “Hapa nyikani itapatikana wapi mikate ya kuwashibisha watu hawa wote?”
5 And He was questioning them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.”
Yesu akawauliza, “Mnayo mikate mingapi?” Nao wakamjibu, “Saba.”
6 And He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, He broke, and was giving to His disciples that they may set before [them]; and they set before the multitude.
Basi, akawaamuru watu wakae chini. Akaitwaa ile mikate saba, akamshukuru Mungu, akaimega, akawapa wanafunzi wake wawagawie watu, nao wakawagawia.
7 And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, He said to set them also before [them];
Walikuwa pia na visamaki vichache. Yesu akavibariki, akaamuru vigawiwe watu vilevile.
8 and they ate and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces—seven baskets;
Watu wakala, wakashiba. Wakaokota mabaki yaliyosalia wakajaza makapu saba.
9 and those eating were about four thousand. And He let them away,
Nao waliokula walikuwa watu wapatao elfu nne. Yesu akawaaga,
10 and immediately having entered into the boat with His disciples, He came to the parts of Dalmanutha,
na mara akapanda mashua pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akaenda wilaya ya Dalmanutha.
11 and the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from Heaven, tempting Him;
Mafarisayo walikuja, wakaanza kujadiliana na Yesu. Kwa kumjaribu, wakamtaka awafanyie ishara kuonyesha anayo idhini kutoka mbinguni.
12 and having sighed deeply in His spirit, He says, “Why does this generation seek after a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
Yesu akahuzunika rohoni, akasema, “Mbona kizazi hiki kinataka ishara? Kweli nawaambieni, kizazi hiki hakitapewa ishara yoyote!”
13 And having left them, having entered again into the boat, He went away to the other side;
Basi, akawaacha, akapanda tena mashua, akaanza safari kwenda ng'ambo ya pili ya ziwa.
14 and they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat,
Wanafunzi walikuwa wamesahau kuchukua mikate; walikuwa na mkate mmoja tu katika mashua.
15 and He was charging them, saying, “Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,”
Yesu akawaonya, “Angalieni sana! Jihadharini na chachu ya Mafarisayo na chachu ya Herode.”
16 and they were reasoning with one another, saying, “Because we have no loaves.”
Wanafunzi wakaanza kujadiliana wao kwa wao, “Anasema hivyo kwa kuwa hatuna mikate.”
17 And Jesus having known, says to them, “Why do you reason, because you have no loaves? Do you not yet perceive, nor understand, yet have you hardened your heart?
Yesu alitambua hayo, akawaambia, “Mbona mnajadiliana juu ya kutokuwa na mikate? Je, bado hamjafahamu, wala hamjaelewa? Je, mioyo yenu imeshupaa?
18 Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?
Je, Mnayo macho na hamwoni? Mnayo masikio na hamsikii? Je, hamkumbuki
19 When I broke the five loaves to the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They say to Him, “Twelve.”
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 the seven to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” And they said, “Seven.”
“Na nilipoimega ile mikate saba na kuwapa watu elfu nne, mlikusanya makapu mangapi ya makombo?” Wakamjibu, “Saba.”
21 And He said to them, “How do you not understand?”
Basi, akawaambia, “Na bado hamjaelewa?”
22 And He comes to Bethsaida, and they bring to Him one blind, and call on Him that He may touch him,
Yesu alifika Bethsaida pamoja na wanafunzi wake. Huko watu wakamletea kipofu mmoja, wakamwomba amguse.
23 and having taken the hand of the blind man, He led him forth outside the village, and having spit on his eyes, having put [His] hands on him, He was questioning him if he beholds anything:
Yesu akamshika mkono huyo kipofu, akampeleka nje ya kijiji. Akamtemea mate machoni, akamwekea mikono, akamwuliza, “Je, unaweza kuona kitu?”
24 and he, having looked up, said, “I behold men, as I see trees, walking.”
Huyo kipofu akatazama, akasema, “Ninawaona watu wanaoonekana kama miti inayotembea.”
25 Afterward again He put [His] hands on his eyes, and made him look up, and he was restored, and discerned all things clearly,
Kisha Yesu akamwekea tena mikono machoni, naye akakaza macho, uwezo wake wa kuona ukamrudia, akaona kila kitu sawasawa.
26 and He sent him away to his house, saying, “Neither may you go into the village, nor tell [it] to any in the village.”
Yesu akamwambia aende zake nyumbani na kumwamuru, “Usirudi kijijini!”
27 And Jesus went forth, and His disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and in the way He was questioning His disciples, saying to them, “Who do men say 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, “John the Immerser, and others Elijah, but others one of the prophets.”
Wakamjibu, “Wengine wanasema wewe ni Yohane Mbatizaji, wengine Eliya na wengine mmojawapo wa manabii.”
29 And He says to them, “And you—who do you say I am?” And Peter answering says to him, “You are the Christ.”
Naye akawauliza, “Na ninyi je, mnasema mimi ni nani?” Petro akamjibu, “Wewe ndiwe Kristo.”
30 And He strictly charged them that they may tell no one about it,
Kisha Yesu akawaonya wasimwambie mtu yeyote habari zake.
31 and began to teach them that it is necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and to rise again after three days;
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 openly He was speaking the word. And Peter having taken Him aside, began to rebuke Him,
Yesu aliwaambia jambo hilo waziwazi. Basi, Petro akamchukua kando, akaanza kumkemea.
33 and He, having turned, and having looked on His disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan, because you do not mind the things of God, but the things 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 having called near the multitude, with His disciples, He said to them, “Whoever wills to come after Me—let him disown himself, and take up his cross, 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 whoever may will to save his life will lose it; and whoever may lose his life for My sake and for the good news’ sake, he will save 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 will it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
Je, kuna faida gani mtu kuupata ulimwengu wote na kuyapoteza maisha yake?
37 Or what will a man give as an exchange for his life?
Ama mtu atatoa kitu gani badala ya maisha yake?
38 For whoever may be ashamed of Me, and of My words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He may come in the glory of His Father with the holy messengers.”
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.”
