Mark 10
1 And departing thence, he cometh into the borders of Judaea, and to the other side of the Jordan; and multitudes again come together to him; and, as he was wont, he again taught them.
Yesu alitoka hapo akaenda mkoani Yudea na hata ng'ambo ya mto Yordani. Umati wa watu ukamwendea tena, naye akawafundisha tena kama ilivyokuwa desturi yake.
2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him whether it was lawful for a man to put away his wife, trying him.
Basi, Mafarisayo wakamwendea, na kwa kumjaribu wakamwuliza, “Je, ni halali mtu kumpa talaka mkewe?”
3 And he answering said to them, What did Moses command you?
Yesu akawajibu, “Mose aliwapa maagizo gani?”
4 And they said, Moses permitted to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
Nao wakasema, “Mose aliagiza mume kumpatia mkewe hati ya talaka na kumwacha.”
5 And Jesus said to them, On account of your hardness of heart he wrote you this command.
Yesu akawaambia, “Mose aliwaandikia amri hiyo kwa sababu ya ugumu wa mioyo yenu.
6 But, from the beginning of the creation, [[God]] made them male and female.
Lakini tangu kuumbwa ulimwengu, Mungu aliumba mwanamume na mwanamke.
7 “For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother;
Hivyo mwanamume atawaacha baba yake na mama yake, ataungana na mkewe,
8 and the two shall become one flesh.” So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
nao wawili watakuwa mwili mmoja. Kwa hiyo, wao si wawili tena bali mwili mmoja.
9 What therefore God joined together, let not man put asunder.
Basi, alichounganisha Mungu, binadamu asitenganishe.”
10 And in the house his disciples asked him again about this matter.
Walipoingia tena ndani ya nyumba, wanafunzi wake walimwuliza juu ya jambo hilo.
11 And he saith to them, Whoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery against her.
Naye akawaambia, “Anayemwacha mkewe na kuoa mwingine, anazini dhidi ya mkewe.
12 And if she put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
Na mwanamke anayemwacha mumewe na kuolewa na mwingine anazini.”
13 And they brought children to him, that he might touch them; and the disciples rebuked those that brought them.
Watu walimletea Yesu watoto wadogo ili awaguse, lakini wanafunzi wakawakemea.
14 But Jesus seeing it was much displeased, and said to them, Suffer the children to come to me; forbid them not; for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.
Yesu alipoona hivyo, alikasirika akawaambia, “Waacheni hao watoto waje kwangu, wala msiwazuie, kwa maana Ufalme wa Mungu ni kwa ajili ya watu walio kama watoto hawa.
15 Truly do I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, will not enter therein.
Nawaambieni kweli, mtu yeyote asiyeupokea Ufalme wa Mungu kama mtoto mdogo hataingia katika Ufalme huo.”
16 And he took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands upon them.
Kisha akawapokea watoto hao, akawawekea mikono, akawabariki.
17 And as he was going out into the way, a certain one running up and kneeling to him, asked him, Good teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit everlasting life? (aiōnios g166)
Yesu alipoanza tena safari yake, mtu mmoja alimjia mbio, akapiga magoti mbele yake, akamwuliza, “Mwalimu mwema, nifanyeje ili niupate uzima wa milele?” (aiōnios g166)
18 And Jesus said to him, Why dost thou call me good? None is good but one, that is, God.
Yesu akamjibu, “Mbona unaniita mwema? Hakuna aliye mwema ila Mungu peke yake.
19 Thou knowest the commandments, “Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honor thy father and thy mother.”
Unazijua amri: Usizini; Usiue; Usiibe; Usitoe ushahidi wa uongo; Usidanganye; Waheshimu baba na mama yako.”
20 And he said to him, Teacher, all these have I kept from my youth.
Naye akamjibu, “Mwalimu, hayo yote nimeyazingatia tangu ujana wangu.”
21 And Jesus looking at him, loved him, and said to him, One thing thou lackest; go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
Yesu akamtazama, akampenda, akamwambia, “Umepungukiwa na kitu kimoja: nenda ukauze vitu ulivyo navyo, uwape maskini, nawe utakuwa na hazina mbinguni; kisha njoo unifuate.”
22 But his countenance fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.
Aliposikia hayo, alisikitika, akaenda zake akiwa na huzuni, kwa maana alikuwa na mali nyingi.
23 And Jesus, looking round, saith to his disciples, How hardly shall they who have riches enter the kingdom t of God!
Yesu akatazama pande zote, akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Jinsi gani itakavyokuwa vigumu kwa matajiri kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu!”
24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answering again saith to them, Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!
Wanafunzi walishangazwa na maneno yake. Yesu akawaambia tena, “Watoto wangu, ni vigumu sana kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu!
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
Ni rahisi zaidi ngamia kupenya katika tundu la sindano, kuliko tajiri kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu.”
26 And they were beyond measure astonished, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
Wanafunzi wake wakashangaa sana wakaulizana, “Ni nani basi, atakayeweza kuokoka?”
27 Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.
Yesu akawatazama, akawaambia, “Kwa binadamu haiwezekani, lakini kwa Mungu si hivyo, maana kwa Mungu mambo yote huwezekana.”
28 Peter began to say to him, Lo! we left all, and have followed thee.
Petro akamwambia, “Na sisi je? Tumeacha yote, tukakufuata!”
29 Jesus said, Truly do I say to you, There is no one who hath left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for the sake of me and of the glad tidings,
Yesu akasema, “Kweli nawaambieni, kila mtu aliyeacha nyumba, au ndugu, au dada, au mama, au baba, au watoto au mashamba kwa ajili yangu na kwa ajili ya Habari Njema,
31 But many who are first will be last; and the last first.
Lakini wengi walio wa kwanza watakuwa wa mwisho, na walio wa mwisho watakuwa wa kwanza.”
32 And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was leading the way; and they were amazed, and they that followed were afraid. And again taking the twelve aside, he began to tell them what things were about to befall him:
Basi, walikuwa njiani kwenda Yerusalemu, na Yesu alikuwa anawatangulia. Wanafunzi wake walijawa na hofu, na watu waliofuata waliogopa. Yesu akawachukua tena kando wale kumi na wawili, akaanza kuwaambia yale yatakayompata:
33 Lo! we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him up to the gentiles;
“Sikilizeni! Tunakwenda Yerusalemu, na huko Mwana wa Mtu atakabidhiwa kwa makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria, nao watamhukumu auawe na kumkabidhi kwa watu wa mataifa.
34 and they will mock him, and spit upon him, and scourge him, and put him to death; and after three days he will rise again.
Nao watamdhihaki; watamtemea mate, watampiga mijeledi na kumwua. Na baada ya siku tatu atafufuka.”
35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying to him, Teacher, we would that thou shouldst do for us whatever we shall ask thee.
Yakobo na Yohane, wana wa Zebedayo, walimwendea Yesu wakamwambia, “Mwalimu, tunataka utufanyie kitu tutakachokuomba.”
36 And he said to them, What would ye that I should do for you?
Yesu akawauliza, “Mnataka niwafanyie nini?”
37 And they said to him, Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand and one on thy left, in thy glory.
Wakamjibu, “Uturuhusu tuketi mmoja upande wako wa kulia na mwingine upande wako wa kushoto katika utukufu wa Ufalme wako.”
38 But Jesus said to them, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
Yesu akawaambia, “Hamjui mnachoomba! Je, mnaweza kunywa kikombe nitakachokunywa, au kubatizwa kama nitakavyobatizwa?”
39 And they said to him, We can. And Jesus said to them, Ye will drink the cup that I drink, and ye will be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;
Wakamjibu, “Tunaweza.” Yesu akawaambia, “Kikombe nitakachokunywa mtakinywa kweli, na mtabatizwa kama nitakavyobatizwa.
40 but to sit on my right hand or on my left is not mine to give, but it will be given to those for whom it hath been prepared.
Lakini ni nani atakayeketi kulia au kushoto kwangu si wajibu wangu kupanga, bali nafasi hizo watapewa wale waliotayarishiwa.”
41 And the ten hearing it began to be much displeased with James and John.
Wale wanafunzi wengine kumi waliposikia hayo, walianza kuchukizwa na Yakobo na Yohane.
42 And Jesus, calling them to him, saith to them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the nations lord it over them, and their great men exercise a strict authority over them.
Yesu akawaita, akawaambia, “Mnajua kwamba wale wanaofikiriwa kuwa watawala wa mataifa huwatawala watu wao kwa mabavu, na wakuu hao huwamiliki watu wao.
43 But it is not so among you; but whoever desireth to become great among you, will be your minister;
Lakini kwenu isiwe hivyo, ila anayetaka kuwa mkuu kati yenu, sharti awe mtumishi wenu.
44 and whoever of you desireth to become first, will be servant of all;
Anayetaka kuwa wa kwanza, sharti awe mtumishi wa wote.
45 for even the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Maana Mwana wa Mtu hakuja kutumikiwa, ila alikuja kutumikia, na kutoa maisha yake kuwa fidia ya watu wengi.”
46 And they come to Jericho; and as he was going out of Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the wayside.
Basi, wakafika Yeriko, naye Yesu alipokuwa anatoka katika mji huo akiwa na wanafunzi wake pamoja na umati mkubwa wa watu, kipofu mwombaji aitwaye Bartimayo mwana wa Timayo alikuwa ameketi kando ya barabara.
47 And hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, Son of David, Jesus, have pity on me!
Aliposikia kwamba ni Yesu wa Nazareti aliyekuwa anapita mahali hapo, alianza kupaaza sauti, “Yesu, Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!”
48 And many sharply bade him be silent; but he cried out the more, Son of David, have pity on me!
Watu wengi walimkemea ili anyamaze, lakini yeye akazidi kupaaza sauti, “Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!”
49 And Jesus stopped, and said, Call him. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Be of good courage, rise, he calleth thee.
Yesu alisimama, akasema, “Mwiteni.” Basi, wakamwita huyo kipofu, wakamwambia, “Jipe moyo! Simama, anakuita.”
50 And throwing off his garment, he leaped up, and came to Jesus.
Naye akatupilia mbali vazi lake, akaruka juu, akamwendea Yesu.
51 And Jesus answering said to him, What dost thou wish me to do for thee? The blind man said to him, My master, to restore my sight.
Yesu akamwuliza, “Unataka nikufanyie nini?” Huyo kipofu akamwambia, “Mwalimu, naomba nipate kuona.”
52 And Jesus said to him, Go; thy faith hath saved thee. And he immediately received his sight, and followed him on the road.
Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda, imani yako imekuponya.” Mara huyo kipofu akaweza kuona, akamfuata Yesu njiani.
