Mark 8
1 In those days, when there was a large crowd, and they had nothing to eat, he called the disciples to himself, and said 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 crowd, because they have stayed with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.
“Nawahurumia watu hawa kwa sababu wamekuwa nami kwa muda wa siku tatu, wala hawana chakula.
3 If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, and some of them have come a long way."
Nikiwaacha waende nyumbani wakiwa na njaa watazimia njiani, maana baadhi yao wametoka mbali.”
4 His disciples answered him, "From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?"
Wanafunzi wake wakamwuliza, “Hapa nyikani itapatikana wapi mikate ya kuwashibisha watu hawa wote?”
5 He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven."
Yesu akawauliza, “Mnayo mikate mingapi?” Nao wakamjibu, “Saba.”
6 He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the crowd.
Basi, akawaamuru watu wakae chini. Akaitwaa ile mikate saba, akamshukuru Mungu, akaimega, akawapa wanafunzi wake wawagawie watu, nao wakawagawia.
7 They had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
Walikuwa pia na visamaki vichache. Yesu akavibariki, akaamuru vigawiwe watu vilevile.
8 They ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
Watu wakala, wakashiba. Wakaokota mabaki yaliyosalia wakajaza makapu saba.
9 Now they were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
Nao waliokula walikuwa watu wapatao elfu nne. Yesu akawaaga,
10 Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
na mara akapanda mashua pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akaenda wilaya ya Dalmanutha.
11 The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, and testing him.
Mafarisayo walikuja, wakaanza kujadiliana na Yesu. Kwa kumjaribu, wakamtaka awafanyie ishara kuonyesha anayo idhini kutoka mbinguni.
12 He sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly I tell 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 he left them, and got into the boat again, and went to the other side.
Basi, akawaacha, akapanda tena mashua, akaanza safari kwenda ng'ambo ya pili ya ziwa.
14 Now they forgot to take bread; and they did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
Wanafunzi walikuwa wamesahau kuchukua mikate; walikuwa na mkate mmoja tu katika mashua.
15 He warned them, saying, "Watch out; guard yourselves against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod."
Yesu akawaonya, “Angalieni sana! Jihadharini na chachu ya Mafarisayo na chachu ya Herode.”
16 And they began discussing among themselves that they had no bread.
Wanafunzi wakaanza kujadiliana wao kwa wao, “Anasema hivyo kwa kuwa hatuna mikate.”
17 He, perceiving it, said to them, "Why do you reason that it's because you have no bread? Do you not perceive yet, neither understand? Are your hearts hardened?
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? Having ears, do you not hear? Do you not remember?
Je, Mnayo macho na hamwoni? Mnayo masikio na hamsikii? Je, hamkumbuki
19 When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They told 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 "When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many 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 He asked them, "Do you not yet understand?"
Basi, akawaambia, “Na bado hamjaelewa?”
22 He came to Beth-Sayada. They brought a blind man to him, and begged Yeshua to touch him.
Yesu alifika Bethsaida pamoja na wanafunzi wake. Huko watu wakamletea kipofu mmoja, wakamwomba amguse.
23 He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
Yesu akamshika mkono huyo kipofu, akampeleka nje ya kijiji. Akamtemea mate machoni, akamwekea mikono, akamwuliza, “Je, unaweza kuona kitu?”
24 He looked up, and said, "I see people; they look like trees walking."
Huyo kipofu akatazama, akasema, “Ninawaona watu wanaoonekana kama miti inayotembea.”
25 Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He made him look up, and was restored, and saw everything clearly.
Kisha Yesu akamwekea tena mikono machoni, naye akakaza macho, uwezo wake wa kuona ukamrudia, akaona kila kitu sawasawa.
26 He sent him away to his house, saying, "Do not enter into the village."
Yesu akamwambia aende zake nyumbani na kumwamuru, “Usirudi kijijini!”
27 Yeshua went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Qesarya Dephilipus. On the way he asked his disciples, "Who do people 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 said to him, saying, "Yukhanan the Baptist, and others say Eliya, but others: one of the prophets."
Wakamjibu, “Wengine wanasema wewe ni Yohane Mbatizaji, wengine Eliya na wengine mmojawapo wa manabii.”
29 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Kipha answered, "You are the Meshikha."
Naye akawauliza, “Na ninyi je, mnasema mimi ni nani?” Petro akamjibu, “Wewe ndiwe Kristo.”
30 He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.
Kisha Yesu akawaonya wasimwambie mtu yeyote habari zake.
31 He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
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 He spoke to them openly. Kipha took him, and began to rebuke him.
Yesu aliwaambia jambo hilo waziwazi. Basi, Petro akamchukua kando, akaanza kumkemea.
33 But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Kipha, and said, "Get behind me, Satana. For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of humans."
Lakini Yesu akageuka, akawatazama wanafunzi wake, akamkemea Petro akisema, “Ondoka mbele yangu, Shetani! Fikira zako si za kimungu ila ni za kibinadamu!”
34 He called the crowd to himself with his disciples, and said to them, "If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny 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 wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News 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 does it profit a person to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?
Je, kuna faida gani mtu kuupata ulimwengu wote na kuyapoteza maisha yake?
37 Or what will a person give in exchange for his soul?
Ama mtu atatoa kitu gani badala ya maisha yake?
38 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when he comes in the glory 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.”
