Mark 5
1 And they came to the other side of the lake, into the country of the Gerasenes.
Wakafika upande wa pili wa ziwa wakaingia katika nchi ya Wagerasi.
2 And when he had come out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
Yesu alipotoka kwenye mashua, mara mtu mmoja mwenye pepo mchafu akatoka makaburini akakutana naye.
3 who had his dwelling in the tombs; and not even with a chain could any one bind him any longer;
Mtu huyu aliishi makaburini, wala hakuna aliyeweza kumzuia hata kwa kumfunga minyororo.
4 because he had often been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been snapped asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces; and no one could master him;
Kwa kuwa mara kwa mara alikuwa amefungwa minyororo mikononi na miguuni, lakini akaikata hiyo minyororo na kuzivunja zile pingu miguuni mwake. Hapakuwa na mtu yeyote aliyekuwa na nguvu za kumzuia.
5 and continually, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself, with stones.
Usiku na mchana alikuwa makaburini na milimani, akipiga kelele na kujikatakata kwa mawe.
6 And seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and bowed down before him,
Alipomwona Yesu kwa mbali, alimkimbilia, akapiga magoti mbele yake.
7 and cried out with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, do not torment me.
Akapiga kelele kwa nguvu akisema, “Una nini nami, Yesu, Mwana wa Mungu Aliye Juu Sana? Ninakusihi kwa jina la Mungu, usinitese!”
8 For he was saying to him, Unclean spirit, come out from the man.
Kwa kuwa Yesu alikuwa amemwambia, “Mtoke mtu huyu, wewe pepo mchafu!”
9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he saith to him, Legion is my name; for we are many.
Yesu akamuuliza, “Jina lako ni nani?” Akamjibu, “Jina langu ni Legioni, kwa kuwa tuko wengi.”
10 And he besought him much not to send them out of the country.
Akamsihi Yesu sana asiwapeleke nje ya nchi ile.
11 Now there was there, by the mountain, a great herd of swine feeding.
Palikuwa na kundi kubwa la nguruwe lililokuwa likilisha karibu kando ya kilima.
12 And they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
Wale pepo wachafu wakamsihi Yesu wakisema, “Tuamuru twende kwenye wale nguruwe. Turuhusu tuwaingie.”
13 And he gave them leave. And the unclean spirits coming out, entered into the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, about two thousand, and were drowned in the lake.
Basi Yesu akawaruhusu, nao wale pepo wachafu wakatoka, wakawaingia hao nguruwe. Lile kundi lilikuwa na nguruwe wapatao 2,000, nao wote wakateremkia gengeni kwa kasi, nao wakatumbukia ziwani na kuzama.
14 And they that fed them fled, and told the news in the city and in the country. And they came to see what had been done.
Wale watu waliokuwa wakichunga hao nguruwe wakakimbilia mjini na vijijini kueleza yaliyotukia. Watu wakatoka kwenda kuona hayo yaliyokuwa yametukia.
15 And they come to Jesus, and see him who had been possessed by demons, sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, —him who had had the legion; and they were afraid.
Walipofika kwa Yesu, wakamwona yule mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo wachafu legioni akiwa ameketi hapo, amevaa nguo na mwenye akili timamu. Wakaogopa.
16 And they who saw it told them how it befell him that was possessed by the demons, and concerning the swine.
Wale walioyaona mambo hayo wakawaeleza watu wengine yaliyomtokea yule mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo wachafu, na habari za lile kundi la nguruwe pia.
17 And they began to beseech him to depart from their borders.
Basi watu wakaanza kumwomba Yesu aondoke katika nchi yao.
18 And when he was going on board the boat, he that had been possessed by the demons besought him that be might be with him.
Yesu alipokuwa anaingia kwenye mashua, yule mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo wachafu akamsihi Yesu waende pamoja.
19 And he did not permit him, but said to him, Go to thy house to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and that he hath had compassion on thee.
Yesu hakumruhusu, bali alimwambia, “Nenda nyumbani kwa jamaa yako ukawaeleze mambo makuu aliyokutendea Bwana, na jinsi alivyokuhurumia.”
20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him; and all wondered.
Yule mtu akaenda zake, akaanza kutangaza katika Dekapoli mambo makuu Yesu aliyomtendea. Nao watu wote wakastaajabu.
21 And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the ether side, a great multitude gathered about him; and he was by the lake.
Yesu alipokwisha kuvuka tena na kufika ngʼambo, umati mkubwa wa watu ukamzunguka yeye akiwa hapo kando ya bahari.
22 And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,
Kisha mmoja wa viongozi wa sinagogi aliyeitwa Yairo akafika pale. Naye alipomwona Yesu, akapiga magoti miguuni pake,
23 and besought him much, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death; I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be saved and live.
akamsihi akisema, “Binti yangu mdogo ni mgonjwa mahututi. Tafadhali nakusihi, njoo uweke mikono yako juu yake ili apate kupona, naye atakuwa hai.”
24 And he went with him; and a great multitude followed him, and pressed upon him.
Hivyo Yesu akaenda pamoja naye. Umati mkubwa wa watu ukamfuata, nao watu wakawa wanamsonga.
25 And a woman, who had had an issue of blood twelve years,
Hapo palikuwa na mwanamke aliyekuwa amesumbuliwa na tatizo la kutokwa damu kwa miaka kumi na miwili.
26 and had undergone much at the hands of many physicians, and spent all that she had, and was not at all benefited, but rather grew worse,
Mwanamke huyu alikuwa ameteseka sana kwa mikono ya matabibu wengi, na kutumia kila kitu alichokuwa nacho. Lakini badala ya kupona, hali yake ilizidi kuwa mbaya.
27 having heard about Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment.
Alikuwa amesikia habari za Yesu, naye akaja kwa nyuma yake kwenye umati wa watu, akaligusa vazi lake,
28 For she said, If I touch even his garments, I shall be made well.
kwa maana alisema moyoni mwake, “Kama nikiweza kuligusa vazi lake tu, nitaponywa.”
29 And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she perceived in her body that she was cured of her plague.
Mara kutoka damu kwake kukakoma, naye akajisikia mwilini mwake amepona kabisa.
30 And Jesus immediately perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, turned round in the crowed, and said, Who touched my garments?
Ghafula Yesu akatambua kuwa nguvu zimemtoka. Akaugeukia ule umati wa watu na kuuliza, “Ni nani aliyegusa mavazi yangu?”
31 And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the multitude pressing on thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?
Wanafunzi wake wakamjibu, “Unaona jinsi umati wa watu unavyokusonga. Wawezaje kuuliza, ‘Ni nani aliyenigusa?’”
32 And he looked round to see her who had done this.
Lakini Yesu akaangalia pande zote ili aone ni nani aliyemgusa.
33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
Yule mwanamke, akijua kilichomtokea, akaja, akaanguka miguuni pake akitetemeka kwa hofu, akamweleza ukweli wote.
34 And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace, and be recovered from thy plague.
Yesu akamwambia, “Binti, imani yako imekuponya. Nenda kwa amani, upone kabisa ugonjwa wako.”
35 While he was yet speaking, there came from the house I of the ruler of the synagogue some who said, Thy daughter is dead; why dost thou trouble the Teacher any further?
Alipokuwa bado anaongea, watu wakafika kutoka nyumbani kwa Yairo. Wakamwambia, “Binti yako amekufa. Kwa nini kuendelea kumsumbua Mwalimu?”
36 And Jesus, overhearing those words, saith to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not; only believe.
Aliposikia hayo waliyosema, Yesu akamwambia huyo kiongozi wa sinagogi, “Usiogope. Amini tu.”
37 And he suffered no one to follow him except Peter and James, and John the brother of James.
Hakumruhusu mtu mwingine yeyote amfuate isipokuwa Petro, Yakobo na Yohana, nduguye Yakobo.
38 And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he seeth a tumult, and people weeping and wailing greatly.
Walipofika nyumbani kwa yule kiongozi wa sinagogi, Yesu akaona ghasia, watu wakilia na kuomboleza kwa sauti kubwa.
39 And going in, he saith to them, Why do ye make this confusion and weeping? The child is not dead, but is sleeping.
Alipokwisha kuingia ndani, akawaambia, “Kwa nini mnafanya ghasia na kulia? Mtoto hajafa, bali amelala tu.”
40 And they laughed him to scorn. But putting them all out, he taketh the father of the child, and the mother, and those who were with him, and entereth where the child was.
Wale watu wakamcheka kwa dharau. Lakini yeye akawatoa wote nje, akawachukua baba na mama wa yule mtoto, pamoja na wale wanafunzi aliokuwa nao. Wakaingia ndani mpaka pale alipokuwa yule mtoto.
41 And taking hold of the hand of the child, he saith to her, Talitha, kum; which is, when interpreted, Damsel, I say to thee, arise!
Akamshika mtoto mkono, akamwambia, “Talitha koum!” (maana yake ni, “Msichana, nakuambia: amka!”)
42 And immediately the damsel arose and walked; for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were greatly astonished.
Mara yule msichana akasimama, akaanza kutembea (alikuwa na umri wa miaka kumi na miwili). Walipoona haya, wakastaajabu sana.
43 And he charged them strictly that no one should know it, and bade that something should be given her to eat.
Yesu akawaagiza kwa ukali wasimweleze mtu yeyote jambo hilo, naye akawaambia wampe yule msichana chakula.
