Luke 8
1 And it came to pass afterward, that he journeyed through cities and villages, preaching and publishing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him,
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 cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons,
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 Chuzas, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who afforded them aid from their substance.
Yoana mke wa Kuza na meneja wa Herode, Susana, na wanawake wengine wengi, waliotoa mali vyao kwa ajili yao wenyewe.
4 And a great multitude collecting together, and people from the cities going out 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 A sower went forth to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way-side; and they were trodden down, and the birds of the air devoured them.
“mpandaji alienda kupanda mbegu, alipokuwa apanda, baadhi ya mbegu hizo ziliangukia kando ya njia zikakanyagwa chini ya miguu, na ndege wa angani wakazila.
6 And others fell upon rocky ground; and when they had sprung up they withered away, because they had no moisture.
Mbegu zingine zilianguka juu ya udongo wa miamba na zilipoota na kuwa miche zilipooza kwa sababu hakukuwa na unyevunyevu.
7 And others fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up with them, and choked them.
Mbegu zingine ziliangukia kwenye miti ya miiba, nayo hiyo miti ya miiba ikakua pamoja na zile mbegu na zikasongwa.
8 And others fell upon good ground, and sprung up, and bore fruit, a hundred-fold. While saying these things, he cried aloud, He that hath 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 And his disciples asked him what this parable meant.
Tena wanafunzi wake wakamuuliza maana ya mfano huo,
10 And he said, To you it hath been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to others [[these things are spoken]] in parables; that while seeing they may not see, and while 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 meaning of 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 by the way-side are they that hear; then cometh the Devil and taketh 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 rocky ground are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root; and for a while they believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
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 And those seeds which fell among the thorns, these are they who, when they have heard, go away and are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
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 But the seeds on the good ground, these are they who in an honest and good heart, when they have heard the word, hold it fast, and bear fruit with constancy.
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 And no one having lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a lampstand, that those who come 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 secret, that will not be made manifest; nor hidden, 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 Take heed therefore how ye hear; for whoever hath, to him will be given; and whoever hath not, from him will be taken even what he seemeth to have.
kwa hiyo kuwa makini unapokuwa unasikiliza. Kwa sababu aliye nacho, kwake ataongezewa zaidi, lakini asiye nacho hata kile kidogo alicho nacho kitachukuliwa.”
19 And his mother and his brothers came where he was, and could not get to him on account of the crowd.
baadaye mama yake Yesu na ndugu zake wakaja kwake hawakaribia kwa sababu ya umati wa watu.
20 And word was brought to him, Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, desiring to see thee.
Na akataarifiwa, “Mama yako na ndugu zako wako pale nje wanahitaji kukuona wewe.
21 And he answering said to 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 came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a boat with his disciples, and said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake; and they put off.
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 were sailing, he fell asleep. And there came down a storm of wind on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy.
Lakini walipoanza kuondoka, Yesu akalala usingizi, na dhoruba kali yenye upepo, na mashua yao ikaanza kujaa maji na walikuwa kwenye katika kubwa sana.
24 And they came and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we are perishing! And he rose, and rebuked the wind, and the surging of the water; and they ceased, and there was a 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 And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they were afraid, and wondered, saying one to another, Who then is this, that he commandeth 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 And they sailed to the country of the Gergesenes, which is over against Galilee.
Wakafika kwenye mji wa Gerasini iliyo upande wa nyuma ya Galilaya.
27 And when he had landed, there met him a certain man out of the city who had demons, and for a long time had worn no clothes, and abode not 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 And seeing Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, 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 he was about to command the unclean spirit to come out of the man; for it had possessed him for a long time, and he had been kept bound and secured with chains and fetters; and bursting the bands, he had been driven by the demon into the wilderness.
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 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; because 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 swine feeding on the mountain; and they besought him to permit them to go into them. And he permitted them.
Kundi la Nguruwe lilikuwa likichunga juu ya kilima, wakamsihi awaruhusu wakaingie kwa hao nguruwe. Na akawaruhusu kufanya hivyo.
33 And the demons coming out of the man went into the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep 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 And the herdsmen, seeing what was done, fled, and told the news 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 And they went out to see what had been done. And they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus; 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 And they who had seen it told them how he that was possessed by demons was made well.
ndipo mmoja wao aliyeona kilichotokea alianza kuwasimlia wengine jinsi huyu mtu aliyekuwa anaongozwa na mapepo alivyoponywa.
37 And the whole multitude in the surrounding country of the Gergesenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear. And he went on board a 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 And the man out of whom the demons had gone besought him that he might be with him. But he sent him away, saying,
Mtu yule aliyetokwa na pepo alimsihi Yesu kwenda naye, lakini Yesu alimwambia aende na kusema,
39 Return to thy house, and tell what great things God hath done for thee. And he went and published through 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 And it came to pass when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him.
Na Yesu akarudi, makutano wakamkaribisha, kwa sababu wote walikuwa wanamngoja.
41 And lo! there came a man, named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at the feet of Jesus, he besought 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. And as he went, the multitudes thronged 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 And a woman who had had an issue of blood twelve years, and had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be cured by any one,
Mwanamke mwenye kutokwa damu kwa miaka kumi na miwili alikuwa pale na alitumia pesa zote kwa waganga, lakini hakuna aliyemponya hata mmoja,
44 came up behind and touched the fringe of his garment; and immediately her issue of blood ceased.
alikuja nyuma ya yesu na kugusa pindo la vazi lake, na ghafla kutokwa damu kukakoma.
45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? And when all denied it, Peter and those with him said, Master, the multitudes are thronging thee, and pressing against thee.
Yesu akasema, “Nani ambaye kanigusa?” Walipokataa wote, Petro akasema, Bwana Mkubwa, umati wa watu wanakusukuma na wanakusonga.”
46 But Jesus said, Some one touched me; for I perceived that power went out from me.
Lakini Yesu akasema, “Mtu mmoja alinigusa, maana nilijua nguvu zimetoka kwangu.”
47 And the woman, seeing that she was discovered, came trembling, and falling down before him declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was cured 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 And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace.
Kisha akasema kwake, “Binti, imani yako imekufanya uwe mzima. Enenda kwa Amani.”
49 While he was yet speaking, there cometh one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, saying, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher any further.
Alipokuwa akiendelea kusema, mtu mmoja akaja kutoka kwenye nyumba ya kiongozi wa sinagogi, akisema, “Binti yako amefariki. Usimsumbue mwalimu.”
50 But Jesus hearing this, answered him, Fear not; only believe, and she will be made well.
Lakini Yesu aliposikia hivyo, alimjibu, “Usiogope. Amini tu, na ataokolewa.”
51 And going into the house, he suffered no one to go in with him but Peter and John and James, and the father of the maiden, and the mother.
Kisha alipoingia kwenye hiyo nyumba, hakuruhusu mtu yeyote kuingia pamoja naye, isipokuwa Petro, Yohana na Yakobo, baba yake binti, na mama yake.
52 And all were weeping, and lamenting for her. But he said, Weep not; 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 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
Lakini wakamcheka kwa dharau, wakijua kuwa amekufa.
54 But he took hold of her hand, and called aloud, saying, Maiden, arise!
Lakini Yeye, akimshika binti mkono, akaita kwa sauti, akisema, “Mtoto, inuka”
55 And her spirit returned, and she immediately arose. And he ordered food to be given to her.
roho yake ikamrudia, na akainuka wakati huohuo. Akaamrisha kwamba, apewe kitu furani kwa ili ale.
56 And her parents were amazed. But he charged them to tell no one what had been done.
Wazazi wake wakashangaa, lakini aliwaamuru wasimwambie mtu kilichokuwa kimetokea.
