Luke 8
1 It happened soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the Kingdom of God. With him were the twelve,
Ilitokea muda mfupi baadaye kwamba Yesu alianza kusafiri katika miji na jiji mbalimbali, akihubiri na kutangaza habari njema ya ufalme wa Mungu na wale kumi wawili walikwenda pamoja naye,
2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;
vilevile wanawake fulani waliokuwa wameponywa kutoka kwa roho wachafu na magonjwa mbalimbali. Walikuwa ni Mariamu aliyeitwa Magdalena ambaye alikuwa ametolewa pepo saba.
3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward; Susanna; and many others; who provided for them from their possessions.
Yoana mke wa Kuza na meneja wa Herode, Susana, na wanawake wengine wengi, waliotoa mali vyao kwa ajili yao wenyewe.
4 When a large crowd came together, and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable.
Nabaada ya umati wa watu kukusanyika pamoja, wakiwemo na watu waliokuja kwake kutoka miji mbalimbali, akazungumza nao kwa kutumia mifano.
5 "The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
“mpandaji alienda kupanda mbegu, alipokuwa apanda, baadhi ya mbegu hizo ziliangukia kando ya njia zikakanyagwa chini ya miguu, na ndege wa angani wakazila.
6 Other seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
Mbegu zingine zilianguka juu ya udongo wa miamba na zilipoota na kuwa miche zilipooza kwa sababu hakukuwa na unyevunyevu.
7 Other fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.
Mbegu zingine ziliangukia kwenye miti ya miiba, nayo hiyo miti ya miiba ikakua pamoja na zile mbegu na zikasongwa.
8 Other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit one hundred times." As he said these things, he called out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
Lakini mbegu zingine ziliangukia kwenye udongo unaofaa na zikazaa mazao mara mia zaidi. “Baada ya Yesu kusema mambo haya, alipaza sauti,”Yeyote aliye na masikio ya kusikia na asikie.”
9 Then his disciples asked him, "What does this parable mean?"
Tena wanafunzi wake wakamuuliza maana ya mfano huo,
10 He said, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables; that 'seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'
Yesu akawaambia, “Mmepewa upendeleo wa kujua siri ya ufalme wa Mungu, lakini watu wengine watafundishwa tu kwa mifano, ili kwamba 'wakiona wasione na wakisikia wasielewe.'
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
Na hii ndiyo maana ya mfano huu. Mbegu ni neno la Mungu.
12 Those along the road are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
Mbegu zile zilizoanguka kando kando ya njia ndiyo wale watu wanaolisikia neno, na baadaye mwovu shetani hulichukua mbali kutoka moyoni, ili kwamba wasiamini na kuokolewa.
13 Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
Kisha na zile zilizoangukia kwenye mwamba ni watu wale wanaosikia neno na kulipokea kwa furaha lakini hawana mizizi yeyote, wanaamini tu kwa muda mfupi, na wakati wa majaribu huanguka.
14 That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
Na mbegu zile zilizoangukia kwenye miiba ni watu wanaosikia neno, lakini wanapoendelea kukua husongwa na huduma na utajiri na ubora wa maisha haya na hawazai matunda.
15 That in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and bring forth fruit with patience.
Lakini zile mbegu zilizoangukia kwenye udongo mzuri ni wale watu, ambao ni wanyeyekevu na mioyo mizuri, baada ya kulisikia neno hulishikilia na likawa salama na kuazaa matunda ya uvumilivu.
16 "No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.
Sasa, hakuna hata mmoja, anayewasha taa na kuifunika kwa bakuli au kuiweka chini ya kitanda. Badala ya kuiweka kwenye kinara cha taa ili kwamba kila mmoja anayeingia apate kuiona.
17 For nothing is hidden, that will not be revealed; nor anything secret, that will not be known and come to light.
Kwa kuwa hakuna kitakachojificha ambacho hakitajulikana, au chochote kilicho sirini ambacho hakitajulikana kikiwa kwenye mwanga.
18 So consider carefully how you listen. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has."
kwa hiyo kuwa makini unapokuwa unasikiliza. Kwa sababu aliye nacho, kwake ataongezewa zaidi, lakini asiye nacho hata kile kidogo alicho nacho kitachukuliwa.”
19 His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.
baadaye mama yake Yesu na ndugu zake wakaja kwake hawakaribia kwa sababu ya umati wa watu.
20 It was told him by some saying, "Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you."
Na akataarifiwa, “Mama yako na ndugu zako wako pale nje wanahitaji kukuona wewe.
21 But he answered them, "My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it."
Lakini, Yesu akajibu akasema “Mama yangu na ndugu zangu ni wale wanaolisikia neno la Mungu na kulitii.”
22 Now it happened on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side of the lake." So they launched out.
Ilitokea siku moja kati ya siku zile Yesu na wanafunzi wake alipanda kwenye mtumbwi, na akawaambia, “Na tuvuke ng'ambo ya pili ya ziwa.” Wakaandaa mashua yao.
23 But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.
Lakini walipoanza kuondoka, Yesu akalala usingizi, na dhoruba kali yenye upepo, na mashua yao ikaanza kujaa maji na walikuwa kwenye katika kubwa sana.
24 So they came to him, and awoke him, saying, "Master, master, we are dying." And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it was calm.
baadaye wanafunzi wake wakaja kwake na kumwamsha, wakisema, “Bwana mkubwa! Bwana mkubwa! tuko karibu kufa!” Akaamka na akaukemea upepo na mawimbi ya maji vikatulia na kukawa na utulivu.
25 He said to them, "Where is your faith?" But they were terrified and astonished, saying to one another, "Who is this, then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?"
Tena akawaambia, “Imani yenu iko wapi?” Wakaogopa, Walishangaa, wakasemezana kia mmoja na mwenzake,”Huyu ni nani, kiasi kwamba anaamuru hata upepo, na maji na humtii?”
26 They arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
Wakafika kwenye mji wa Gerasini iliyo upande wa nyuma ya Galilaya.
27 And when he came out onto the land he was met by a certain man from the town who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and did not live in a house, but in the tombs.
Yesu aliposhuka na kukanya kwenye ardhi, mtu fulani kutoka mjini, akakutana naye, na huyu mtu alikuwa na nguvu za giza. Kwa muda mrefu alikuwa havai nguo, na alikuwa haishi kwenye Nyumba, lakini aliishi kwenye makaburi.
28 When he saw Jesus, he shouted, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, "What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me."
Alipomwona Yesu akalia kwa sauti, na akaanguka chini mbele yake. kwa sauti kubwa akisema, Nimefanya nini kwako, Yesu mwana wa Mungu aliye juu? Nakusihi, Usiniadhibu mimi”
29 For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bands apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
Yesu akaamuru roho chafu imtoke mtu yule, kwa kuwa mara nyingi amepamgaa. hata kama alikuwa amefungwa minyororo na kubanwa na kuwekwa chini ya ulinzi, alivunja vifungo na kuendeshwa na mapepo mpaka jangwani.
30 Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He said, "Legion," for many demons had entered into him.
Yesu akamwuliza, “Jina lako nani?” akajibu akisema, “Legioni” Kwa maana mapepo mengi yameingia kwake.
Wakaendelea kumsihi usituamuru twende kwenye shimo. (Abyssos g12)
32 Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. He allowed them.
Kundi la Nguruwe lilikuwa likichunga juu ya kilima, wakamsihi awaruhusu wakaingie kwa hao nguruwe. Na akawaruhusu kufanya hivyo.
33 The demons came out from the man, and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake, and were drowned.
kwa hiyo wale mapepo wakamtoka mtu yule na kuingia kwa wale nguruwe, na lile kundi likakimbia kwenye mwinuko wa mlima mpaka ziwani na wakazama humo.
34 When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.
wale watu waliokuwa wanachunga wale nguruwe walipoona kilichotokea, wakakimbia na wakatoa taarifa pale mjini na nje katika miji iliyowazunguka.
35 Then people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
Watu waliposikia hayo walienda kuona kilichotokea, na wakaja kwa Yesu na wakamwona mtu ambaye mapepo yalikuwa yamemtoka. alikuwa amevaa vizuri na mwenye akili timamu, amekaa kwenye miguu ya Yesu, na waliogopa.
36 Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
ndipo mmoja wao aliyeona kilichotokea alianza kuwasimlia wengine jinsi huyu mtu aliyekuwa anaongozwa na mapepo alivyoponywa.
37 All the people of the surrounding region of the Geresenes asked him to leave them, for they were very much afraid; and he entered into the boat and returned.
Watu wote wa mkoa wa Wagerasi na maeneo yaliyozunguka walimwomba Yesu aondoke kwao kwa sababu walikuwa na hofu kuu. Na aliingia kwenye mtumbwi ili arudi.
38 But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
Mtu yule aliyetokwa na pepo alimsihi Yesu kwenda naye, lakini Yesu alimwambia aende na kusema,
39 "Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you." He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
“Rudi kwenye nyumba yako na uhesabu yale yote ambayo Mungu amekutendea” Huyu mtu aliondoka, akitangaza pote katika mji wote yale yote ambayo Yesu aliyofanya kwa ajili yake.
40 When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
Na Yesu akarudi, makutano wakamkaribisha, kwa sababu wote walikuwa wanamngoja.
41 And look, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus' feet, and pleaded with him to come into his house,
Tazama akaja mtu mmoja anaitwa Yairo ni mmoja kati ya viongozi katika sinagogi. Yairo akaanguka miguuni pa Yesu na kumsihi aende nyumbani kwake,
42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the crowds pressed against him.
kwa sababu alikuwa na mtoto msichana mmoja tu, mwenye umri wa miaka kumi na wibili, na alikuwa katika hali ya kufa. Na alipokuwa akienda, makutano walikuwa wakisongama dhidi yake.
43 A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years (who had spent all her living on physicians) and could not be healed by any,
Mwanamke mwenye kutokwa damu kwa miaka kumi na miwili alikuwa pale na alitumia pesa zote kwa waganga, lakini hakuna aliyemponya hata mmoja,
44 came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
alikuja nyuma ya yesu na kugusa pindo la vazi lake, na ghafla kutokwa damu kukakoma.
45 Jesus said, "Who touched me?" When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, "Master, the crowds press and jostle you."
Yesu akasema, “Nani ambaye kanigusa?” Walipokataa wote, Petro akasema, Bwana Mkubwa, umati wa watu wanakusukuma na wanakusonga.”
46 But Jesus said, "Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me."
Lakini Yesu akasema, “Mtu mmoja alinigusa, maana nilijua nguvu zimetoka kwangu.”
47 When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
Mwanamke alipoona ya kuwa hawezi kuficha alichokifanya, akaanza kutetemeka, akaanguka chini mbele za Yesu alitangaza mbele ya watu wote sababu zilizofanya amguse na vile alivyoponywa gafla.
48 He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace."
Kisha akasema kwake, “Binti, imani yako imekufanya uwe mzima. Enenda kwa Amani.”
49 While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue's house came, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher."
Alipokuwa akiendelea kusema, mtu mmoja akaja kutoka kwenye nyumba ya kiongozi wa sinagogi, akisema, “Binti yako amefariki. Usimsumbue mwalimu.”
50 But Jesus hearing it, answered him, "Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed."
Lakini Yesu aliposikia hivyo, alimjibu, “Usiogope. Amini tu, na ataokolewa.”
51 When he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter in with him, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.
Kisha alipoingia kwenye hiyo nyumba, hakuruhusu mtu yeyote kuingia pamoja naye, isipokuwa Petro, Yohana na Yakobo, baba yake binti, na mama yake.
52 All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, "Do not weep. She is not dead, but sleeping."
Sasa watu wote walikuwa wanaomboleza na kutoa sauti kwa ajili yake, lakini akasema, “Msipige kelele, hajafa, lakini amelala tu.”
53 They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.
Lakini wakamcheka kwa dharau, wakijua kuwa amekufa.
54 But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying, "Child, arise."
Lakini Yeye, akimshika binti mkono, akaita kwa sauti, akisema, “Mtoto, inuka”
55 Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
roho yake ikamrudia, na akainuka wakati huohuo. Akaamrisha kwamba, apewe kitu furani kwa ili ale.
56 Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.
Wazazi wake wakashangaa, lakini aliwaamuru wasimwambie mtu kilichokuwa kimetokea.
