Mark 5
1 And they came to the other side of the lake, into the country of the Gerasenes.
Basi, wakafika katika nchi ya Wagerase, ng'ambo ya ziwa.
2 And when he had come out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
Mara tu Yesu aliposhuka mashuani, mtu mmoja aliyepagawa na pepo mchafu alitoka 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 huyo alikuwa akiishi makaburini wala hakuna mtu aliyeweza tena kumfunga kwa 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;
Mara nyingi walimfunga kwa pingu na minyororo lakini kila mara aliweza kuikata hiyo minyororo na kuzivunja hizo pingu, wala hakuna mtu aliyeweza kumzuia.
5 and continually, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself, with stones.
Mchana na usiku alikaa makaburini na milimani akipaaza sauti na kujikatakata kwa mawe.
6 And seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and bowed down before him,
Alipomwona Yesu kwa mbali, alimkimbilia, akamwinamia
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.
akisema kwa sauti kubwa, “Una shauri gani nami, wewe Yesu Mwana wa Mungu aliye juu? Kwa jina la Mungu, nakusihi usinitese!”
8 For he was saying to him, Unclean spirit, come out from the man.
(Alisema hivyo kwa kuwa Yesu alikuwa amemwambia, “Pepo mchafu, mtoke mtu huyu.”)
9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he saith to him, Legion is my name; for we are many.
Basi, Yesu akamwuliza, “Jina lako nani?” Naye akajibu, “Jina langu ni Jeshi, maana sisi tu wengi.”
10 And he besought him much not to send them out of the country.
Kisha akamsihi Yesu asiwafukuze hao pepo katika nchi ile.
11 Now there was there, by the mountain, a great herd of swine feeding.
Kulikuwa na kundi kubwa la nguruwe malishoni kwenye mteremko wa mlima.
12 And they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
Basi, hao pepo wakamsihi, “Utupeleke kwa hao nguruwe, 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.
Naye akawaruhusu. Basi, hao pepo wachafu wakatoka, wakawaingia wale nguruwe. Kundi lote la nguruwe wapatao elfu mbili likaporomoka kwenye ule mteremko mkali mpaka ziwani, likatumbukia majini.
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.
Wachungaji wa hao nguruwe walikimbia, wakatangaza jambo hilo mjini na mashambani. Watu wakafika kuona yaliyotukia.
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.
Wakamwendea Yesu, wakamwona na mtu yuleyule aliyekuwa amepagawa na jeshi la pepo ameketi chini, amevaa nguo na ana akili yake sawa, wakaogopa.
16 And they who saw it told them how it befell him that was possessed by the demons, and concerning the swine.
Watu walishuhudia tukio hilo wakaeleza wengine mambo yaliyompata huyo mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo na juu ya wale nguruwe.
17 And they began to beseech him to depart from their borders.
Basi, wakaanza kumwomba 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 anapanda mashuani, yule mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo akamwomba amruhusu kwenda naye.
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.
Lakini Yesu akamkatalia. Badala yake akamwambia, “Nenda nyumbani kwa jamaa yako, ukawaambie mambo yote Bwana aliyokutendea na jinsi alivyokuonea huruma.”
20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him; and all wondered.
Basi, huyo mtu akaenda, akaanza kutangaza huko Dekapoli mambo yote Yesu aliyomtendea; watu wote wakashangaa.
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 alivukia tena upande wa pili wa ziwa kwa mashua. Umati mkubwa wa watu ukakusanyika mbele yake, naye akawa amesimama kando ya ziwa.
22 And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,
Hapo akaja mmojawapo wa maofisa wa sunagogi, jina lake Yairo. Alipomwona Yesu, akajitupa mbele ya miguu yake,
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 karibu kufa. Twende tafadhali, ukamwekee mikono yako, apate kupona na kuishi.”
24 And he went with him; and a great multitude followed him, and pressed upon him.
Basi, Yesu akaondoka pamoja naye. Watu wengi sana wakamfuata, wakawa wanamsonga kila upande.
25 And a woman, who had had an issue of blood twelve years,
Mmojawapo alikuwa mwanamke mwenye ugonjwa wa kutokwa damu kwa muda wa 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 huyo alikuwa amekwisha sumbuka sana kuwaendea waganga wengi. Na ingawa alikuwa amekwisha tumia mali yake yote, hakupata nafuu bali hali yake ilizidi kuwa mbaya.
27 having heard about Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment.
Alikuwa amesikia habari za Yesu, na hivyo akaupenya msongamano wa watu kutoka nyuma, akagusa vazi lake.
28 For she said, If I touch even his garments, I shall be made well.
Alifanya hivyo, maana alijisemea, “Nikigusa tu vazi lake, nitapona.”
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 chemchemi ya damu yake ikakauka, akajisikia mwilini mwake kwamba ameponywa ugonjwa wake.
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?
Yesu alitambua mara kwamba nguvu imemtoka. Basi akaugeukia ule umati wa watu, akauliza, “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 watu wanavyokusonga; mbona wauliza nani aliyekugusa?”
32 And he looked round to see her who had done this.
Lakini Yesu akaendelea kutazama amwone huyo aliyefanya hivyo.
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.
Hapo huyo mwanamke, akifahamu yaliyompata, akajitokeza akitetemeka kwa hofu, akajitupa chini mbele ya Yesu na kusema 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?
Yesu alipokuwa bado anaongea, watu walifika kutoka nyumbani kwa yule ofisa wa sunagogi, wakamwambia, “Binti yako amekwisha kufa. Ya nini kuendelea kumsumbua Mwalimu?”
36 And Jesus, overhearing those words, saith to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not; only believe.
Lakini, bila kujali walichosema, Yesu akamwambia mkuu wa sunagogi, “Usiogope, amini tu.”
37 And he suffered no one to follow him except Peter and James, and John the brother of James.
Wala hakumruhusu mtu yeyote kufuatana naye ila Petro, Yakobo na Yohane 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.
Wakafika nyumbani kwa ofisa wa sunagogi naye Yesu akasikia makelele, kilio na maombolezo mengi.
39 And going in, he saith to them, Why do ye make this confusion and weeping? The child is not dead, but is sleeping.
Akaingia ndani, akawaambia, “Mbona mnapiga kelele na kulia? Msichana hakufa, 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.
Lakini wao wakamcheka. Basi, akawaondoa wote nje, akawachukua baba na mama ya huyo msichana na wale wanafunzi wake, wakaingia chumbani alimokuwa huyo msichana.
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!
Kisha akamshika mkono, akamwambia, “Talitha, kumi,” maana yake, “Msichana, nakwambia, amka!”
42 And immediately the damsel arose and walked; for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were greatly astonished.
Mara msichana akasimama, akaanza kutembea. (Alikuwa na umri wa miaka kumi na miwili.) Hapo watu wakashangaa kupita kiasi.
43 And he charged them strictly that no one should know it, and bade that something should be given her to eat.
Yesu akawakataza sana wasimjulishe mtu jambo hilo. Kisha akawaambia wampe huyo msichana chakula.
