Mark 10
1 He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Crowds came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.
Yesu akaondoka huko, akavuka Mto Yordani, akaenda sehemu za Uyahudi. Umati mkubwa wa watu ukaenda kwake tena, naye kama ilivyokuwa desturi yake, akawafundisha.
2 Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"
Baadhi ya Mafarisayo wakaja ili kumjaribu kwa kumuuliza, “Je, ni halali mtu kumwacha mke wake?”
3 He answered, "What did Moses command you?"
Yesu akawajibu, “Je, Mose aliwaamuru nini?”
4 They said, "Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her."
Wakajibu, “Mose aliruhusu kwamba mume anaweza kumwandikia mkewe hati ya talaka na kumwacha.”
5 But Yeshua said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.
Yesu akawaambia, “Mose aliwaandikia sheria hiyo kwa sababu ya ugumu wa mioyo yenu.
6 But from the beginning of the creation, he made them male and female.
Lakini tangu mwanzo wa uumbaji, ‘Mungu aliwaumba mwanaume na mwanamke.
7 For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife,
Kwa sababu hii mwanaume atamwacha baba yake na mama yake na kuambatana na mkewe, na hao wawili watakuwa mwili mmoja.’
8 and the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.
Kwa hiyo hawatakuwa wawili tena, bali mwili mmoja.
9 What therefore God has joined together, let no one separate."
Basi, alichokiunganisha Mungu, mwanadamu asikitenganishe.”
10 In the house, the talmidim asked him again about the same matter.
Walipokuwa tena ndani ya nyumba, wanafunzi wake wakamuuliza kuhusu jambo hili.
11 He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her.
Akawajibu, “Mtu yeyote amwachaye mkewe na kuoa mke mwingine, anazini naye.
12 If she herself divorces her husband, and marries another, she commits adultery."
Naye mwanamke amwachaye mumewe na kuolewa na mume mwingine, anazini.”
13 They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the talmidim rebuked them.
Watu walikuwa wakimletea Yesu watoto wadogo ili awaguse, lakini wanafunzi wake wakawakemea.
14 But when Yeshua saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, "Allow the little children to come to me. Do not forbid them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Yesu alipoona yaliyokuwa yakitukia, akachukizwa. Akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Waacheni watoto wadogo waje kwangu, wala msiwazuie, kwa maana Ufalme wa Mungu ni wa wale walio kama hawa.
15 Truly I tell you, whoever will not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it."
Amin, nawaambia, mtu yeyote asiyeupokea Ufalme wa Mungu kama mtoto mdogo, hatauingia kamwe.”
16 And he took them in his arms, laying his hands on them, and blessed them.
Akawachukua watoto mikononi mwake, akawakumbatia, akaweka mikono yake juu yao, akawabariki.
17 As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do that I may inherit everlasting life?" (aiōnios g166)
Yesu alipokuwa anaondoka, mtu mmoja akamkimbilia, akapiga magoti mbele yake, akamuuliza, “Mwalimu mwema, nifanye nini ili niurithi uzima wa milele?” (aiōnios g166)
18 Yeshua said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God.
Yesu akamwambia, “Mbona unaniita mwema? Hakuna yeyote aliye mwema ila Mungu peke yake.
19 You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not murder,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not give false testimony,' 'Do not defraud,' 'Honor your father and mother.'"
Unazijua amri: ‘Usiue, usizini, usiibe, usishuhudie uongo, usidanganye, waheshimu baba yako na mama yako.’”
20 And he said to him, "Teacher, I have kept all these things from my youth."
Akamjibu, “Mwalimu, amri hizi zote nimezishika tangu nikiwa mtoto.”
21 Yeshua looking at him loved him, and said to him, "One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross."
Yesu akamtazama na kumpenda, akamwambia, “Umepungukiwa na kitu kimoja. Nenda ukauze kila kitu ulicho nacho uwape maskini hizo fedha, nawe utakuwa na hazina mbinguni. Kisha njoo, unifuate.”
22 But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.
Yule mtu aliposikia hayo, akasikitika sana. Akaondoka kwa huzuni kwa sababu alikuwa na mali nyingi.
23 Yeshua looked around, and said to his talmidim, "How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God."
Yesu akatazama pande zote, akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Itakuwa vigumu sana kwa wenye mali kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu!”
24 The talmidim were amazed at his words. But Yeshua answered again and said to them, "Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God.
Wanafunzi wake wakashangazwa sana na maneno hayo. Lakini Yesu akawaambia tena, “Wanangu, tazama jinsi ilivyo vigumu kwa wale wanaotumainia mali kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu.
25 It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich person to enter into the Kingdom of God."
Ni rahisi zaidi kwa ngamia kupita kwenye tundu la sindano kuliko mtu tajirikuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu.”
26 They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, "Then who can be saved?"
Wanafunzi wake wakashangaa sana. Wakaulizana wao kwa wao, “Ni nani basi awezaye kuokoka?”
27 Yeshua, looking at them, said, "With humans it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God."
Yesu akawatazama, akawaambia, “Kwa mwanadamu jambo hili haliwezekani, lakini kwa Mungu sivyo. Mambo yote yanawezekana kwa Mungu.”
28 Peter began to tell him, "Look, we have left everything, and have followed you."
Ndipo Petro akamjibu, “Tazama, tumeacha kila kitu na kukufuata wewe!”
29 Yeshua said, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News,
Yesu akasema, “Amin, nawaambia, hakuna mtu yeyote aliyeacha nyumba, ndugu wa kiume au wa kike, au mama au baba, au watoto au mashamba kwa ajili yangu na kwa ajili ya Injili,
31 But many who are first will be last; and the last first."
Lakini wengi walio wa kwanza watakuwa wa mwisho, na wa mwisho watakuwa wa kwanza.”
32 They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Yeshua was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.
Walikuwa njiani wakipanda kwenda Yerusalemu, na Yesu alikuwa ametangulia. Wanafunzi wake walishangaa, nao watu waliowafuata walijawa na hofu. Yesu akawachukua tena wale wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili kando na kuwaambia yatakayompata.
33 "Look, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief cohanim and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to foreigners.
Akasema, “Tunapanda kwenda Yerusalemu, na Mwana wa Adamu atasalitiwa kwa viongozi wa makuhani na walimu wa sheria. Wao watamhukumu kifo na kumtia mikononi mwa watu wa Mataifa,
34 They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. After three days he will rise again."
ambao watamdhihaki na kumtemea mate, watampiga na kumuua. Siku tatu baadaye atafufuka.”
35 Jacob and John, the sons of Zavdai, came near to him, and said to him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask."
Kisha Yakobo na Yohana, wana wa Zebedayo, wakaja kwake na kumwambia, “Mwalimu, tunataka utufanyie lolote tutakalokuomba.”
36 He said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"
Naye akawaambia, “Je, mwataka niwafanyie jambo gani?”
37 They said to him, "Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right hand, and one at your left hand, in your glory."
Wakamwambia, “Tupe kukaa mmoja upande wako wa kuume na mwingine upande wako wa kushoto katika utukufu wako.”
38 But Yeshua said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with?"
Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Ninyi hamjui mnaloliomba. Je, mnaweza kukinywea kikombe ninyweacho mimi, au kubatizwa ubatizo nibatizwao mimi?”
39 And they said to him, "We are able." And Yeshua said to them, "You will drink the cup I drink, and you will be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with;
Wakajibu, “Tunaweza.” Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “Kikombe nikinyweacho mtakinywea na ubatizo nibatizwao mtabatizwa,
40 but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared."
lakini kuketi mkono wangu wa kuume au wa kushoto si juu yangu mimi kuwapa. Nafasi hizi ni kwa ajili ya wale walioandaliwa.”
41 When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant towards Jacob and John.
Wale wanafunzi wengine kumi waliposikia hayo, wakaanza kuwakasirikia Yakobo na Yohana.
42 Yeshua summoned them, and said to them, "You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
Lakini Yesu akawaita wote pamoja na kuwaambia, “Mnafahamu kuwa wale wanaodhaniwa kuwa watawala wa watu wa Mataifa huwatawala watu kwa nguvu, nao wenye vyeo huonyesha mamlaka yao.
43 But it will not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.
Lakini isiwe hivyo kwenu. Badala yake, yeyote anayetaka kuwa mkuu miongoni mwenu hana budi kuwa mtumishi wenu,
44 And whoever wants to be first among you must be slave of all.
na yeyote anayetaka kuwa wa kwanza, hana budi kuwa mtumwa wa wote.
45 For the Son of Man also did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Kwa kuwa hata Mwana wa Adamu hakuja ili kutumikiwa, bali kutumika na kuutoa uhai wake uwe fidia kwa ajili ya wengi.”
46 They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho, with his talmidim and a large crowd, Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.
Kisha wakafika Yeriko. Yesu alipokuwa akiondoka mjini na wanafunzi wake pamoja na umati mkubwa wa watu, kipofu mmoja, jina lake Bartimayo, mwana wa Timayo, alikuwa ameketi kando ya njia akiomba msaada.
47 When he heard that it was Yeshua of Natzeret, he began to cry out, and say, "Yeshua, Son of David, have mercy on me."
Aliposikia kuwa ni Yesu wa Nazareti aliyekuwa anapita, akaanza kupaza sauti akisema, “Yesu, Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!”
48 Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he shouted all the louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me."
Watu wengi wakamkemea, wakamwambia akae kimya, lakini yeye akazidi kupaza sauti, akisema, “Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!”
49 Yeshua stood still, and said, "Call him." They called the blind man, saying to him, "Cheer up. Get up. He is calling you."
Yesu akasimama na kusema, “Mwiteni.” Hivyo wakamwita yule mtu kipofu, wakamwambia, “Jipe moyo! Inuka, anakuita.”
50 He, casting away his coat, jumped up, and came to Yeshua.
Akiwa analivua lile joho lake, alisimama na kumwendea Yesu.
51 Yeshua asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man said to him, "Rabboni, that I may see again."
Yesu akamuuliza, “Unataka nikufanyie nini?” Yule kipofu akajibu, “Mwalimu, nataka kuona.”
52 Yeshua said to him, "Go your way. Your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight, and followed him on the road.
Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda zako, imani yako imekuponya.” Mara akapata kuona, akamfuata Yesu njiani.
