Mark 6
1 And he went out from thence, and cometh into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
Yesu akaondoka huko na kwenda mji wa kwao, akiwa amefuatana na wanafunzi wake.
2 And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue. And most people when they heard him were astonished, saying, Whence hath this man these things? And what is the wisdom which is given him? And how is it that such miracles are wrought by his hands?
Ilipofika siku ya Sabato, akaanza kufundisha katika sinagogi, na wengi waliomsikia wakashangaa. Nao wakauliza, “Mtu huyu ameyapata wapi mambo haya yote? Tazama ni hekima ya namna gani hii aliyopewa? Tazama matendo ya miujiza ayafanyayo kwa mikono yake!
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judah, and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they took offence at him.
Huyu si yule seremala, mwana wa Maria? Na ndugu zake si Yakobo, Yose, Yuda na Simoni? Dada zake wote si tuko nao hapa kwetu?” Nao wakachukizwa sana kwa ajili yake, wakakataa kumwamini.
4 And Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, and among his own kindred, and in his own house.
Yesu akawaambia, “Nabii hakosi heshima isipokuwa katika mji wake mwenyewe, na miongoni mwa jamaa na ndugu zake, na nyumbani kwake.”
5 And he could not do any miracle there, except that he laid his hand upon a few sick persons, and cured them.
Hakufanya miujiza yoyote huko isipokuwa kuweka mikono yake juu ya wagonjwa wachache na kuwaponya.
6 And he wondered at their want of faith. And he went about the surrounding villages teaching.
Naye akashangazwa sana kwa jinsi wasivyokuwa na imani. Kisha Yesu akawa anakwenda kutoka kijiji kimoja hadi kingine akifundisha.
7 And he calleth to him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over the unclean spirits;
Akawaita wale kumi na wawili, akawatuma wawili wawili, na kuwapa mamlaka kutoa pepo wachafu.
8 and commanded them that they should take nothing for the way but a staff only; no bread, no bag, no money in their girdle;
Akawaagiza akisema, “Msichukue chochote kwa ajili ya safari isipokuwa fimbo tu. Msichukue mkate, wala mkoba, wala fedha kwenye mikanda yenu.
9 but to be shod with sandals; and, Do not put on two coats.
Vaeni viatu, lakini msivae nguo ya ziada.”
10 And he said to them, Wherever ye enter a house, there abide fill ye leave that place.
Akawaambia, “Mkiingia kwenye nyumba yoyote, kaeni humo hadi mtakapoondoka katika mji huo.
11 And whatever place shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye go thence, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony to them.
Kama mahali popote hawatawakaribisha wala kuwasikiliza, mtakapoondoka huko, kungʼuteni mavumbi kutoka kwenye miguu yenu ili kuwa ushuhuda dhidi yao.”
12 And they went out and preached that men should repent;
Kwa hiyo wakatoka na kuhubiri kwamba inawapasa watu kutubu na kuacha dhambi.
13 and they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many sick persons, and healed them.
Wakatoa pepo wachafu wengi, wakawapaka wagonjwa wengi mafuta na kuwaponya.
14 And king Herod heard of him (for his name was spread abroad), and he said, John the Baptizer hath risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him. But others said, It is Elijah.
Mfalme Herode akasikia habari hizi, kwa maana jina la Yesu lilikuwa limejulikana sana. Watu wengine walikuwa wakisema, “Yohana Mbatizaji amefufuliwa kutoka kwa wafu, ndiyo sababu nguvu za kutenda miujiza zinafanya kazi ndani yake.”
15 And others said, It is a prophet, as one of the prophets.
Wengine wakasema, “Yeye ni Eliya.” Nao wengine wakasema, “Yeye ni nabii, kama mmojawapo wa wale manabii wa zamani.”
16 But Herod hearing of it said, John, whom I beheaded, hath risen again.
Lakini Herode aliposikia habari hizi, akasema, “Huyo ni Yohana Mbatizaji, niliyemkata kichwa, amefufuliwa kutoka kwa wafu!”
17 For Herod himself had sent forth and seized John, and bound him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; for he had married her.
Kwa kuwa Herode alikuwa ameagiza kwamba Yohana Mbatizaji akamatwe, afungwe na kutiwa gerezani. Alifanya hivi kwa sababu ya Herodia, mke wa Filipo, ndugu yake, ambaye Herode alikuwa amemwoa.
18 For John had said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
Yohana alikuwa amemwambia Herode, “Si halali kwako kuwa na mke wa ndugu yako.”
19 And Herodias was enraged against him, and wished to put him to death, but could not.
Kwa hiyo Herodia alikuwa amemwekea Yohana kinyongo akataka kumuua. Lakini hakuweza,
20 For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and was regardful of him; and on hearing him, was in much anxiety, and listened to him gladly.
kwa sababu Herode alimwogopa Yohana akijua kwamba ni mtu mwenye haki na mtakatifu, hivyo akamlinda. Herode alifadhaika sana alipomsikia Yohana, lakini bado alipenda kumsikiliza.
21 And a convenient day having come, when Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles and chief captains and the principal men of Galilee,
Mfalme Herode alifanya karamu kubwa wakati wa sikukuu ya kuzaliwa kwake. Akawaalika maafisa wake wakuu, majemadari wa jeshi na watu mashuhuri wa Galilaya. Hatimaye Herodia alipata wasaa aliokuwa akiutafuta.
22 and the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those at table with him; and the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
Binti yake Herodia alipoingia na kucheza, akamfurahisha Herode pamoja na wageni wake walioalikwa chakulani. Mfalme Herode akamwambia yule binti, “Niombe kitu chochote utakacho, nami nitakupa.”
23 And he swore to her, Whatever thou shalt ask of me, I will give thee, to the half of my kingdom.
Tena akamwahidi kwa kiapo, akamwambia, “Chochote utakachoomba nitakupa, hata kama ni nusu ya ufalme wangu.”
24 And she went out and said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptizer.
Yule binti akatoka nje, akaenda kumuuliza mama yake, “Niombe nini?” Mama yake akamjibu, “Omba kichwa cha Yohana Mbatizaji.”
25 And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, saying, I desire that thou wilt give me immediately on a platter the head of John the Baptist.
Yule binti akarudi haraka kwa mfalme, akamwambia, “Nataka unipe sasa hivi kichwa cha Yohana Mbatizaji kwenye sinia.”
26 And the king was exceedingly sorry; but on account of his oaths, and of those at table with him, he would not refuse her.
Mfalme akasikitika sana, lakini kwa sababu alikuwa ameapa viapo mbele ya wageni wake, hakutaka kumkatalia.
27 And the king immediately sent one of his guards, and ordered his head to be brought. And he went and beheaded him in the prison,
Mara mfalme akatuma askari mmojawapo wa walinzi wake kukileta kichwa cha Yohana. Akaenda na kumkata Yohana kichwa humo gerezani,
28 and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother.
akakileta kichwa chake kwenye sinia na kumpa yule msichana, naye yule msichana akampa mama yake.
29 And his disciples, when they heard of it, came and took up his body, and laid it in a tomb.
Wanafunzi wa Yohana walipopata habari hizi, wakaja na kuuchukua mwili wake, wakauzika kaburini.
30 And the apostles gather together to Jesus, and told him all which they had done and taught.
Wale mitume wakakusanyika kwa Yesu na kumpa taarifa ya mambo yote waliyokuwa wamefanya na kufundisha.
31 And he saith to them, Come ye by yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going; and they had no leisure, even to eat.
Basi kwa kuwa watu wengi mno walikuwa wakija na kutoka, hata wakawa hawana nafasi ya kula, Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Twendeni peke yetu mahali pa faragha, mpate kupumzika.”
32 And they went away into a desert place in the boat apart.
Hivyo wakaondoka kwa mashua peke yao, wakaenda mahali pasipo na watu.
33 And many saw them departing, and knew them, and ran together on foot thither from all the cities, and arrived before them.
Lakini watu wengi waliowaona wakiondoka, wakawatambua, nao wakaenda haraka kwa miguu kutoka miji yote, nao wakatangulia kufika.
34 And when he came forth, he saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion for them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
Yesu alipofika kando ya bahari, aliona makutano makubwa ya watu, akawahurumia kwa maana walikuwa kama kondoo wasiokuwa na mchungaji. Kwa hiyo akaanza kuwafundisha mambo mengi.
35 And late in the day his disciples came to him, and said, This is a desert place, and it is now late;
Mchana ulipokuwa umeendelea sana, wanafunzi wake walienda kwake, wakamwambia, “Mahali hapa ni nyikani, nazo saa zimekwenda sana.
36 send them away, that they may go into the surrounding fields and villages, and buy themselves something to eat.
Waage watu ili waende mashambani na vijijini jirani, wakajinunulie chakula.”
37 But he answering said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denaries' worth of bread, and give them to eat?
Lakini Yesu akawajibu, “Ninyi wapeni chakula.” Wakamwambia, “Je, twende tukanunue mikate ya dinari 200 ili tuwape watu hawa wale?”
38 He saith to them, How many loaves have ye? Go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
Akawauliza, “Kuna mikate mingapi? Nendeni mkaangalie.” Walipokwisha kujua wakarudi, wakamwambia, “Kuna mikate mitano na samaki wawili.”
39 And he ordered them to make all lie down in companies upon the green grass.
Kisha Yesu akawaamuru wawaketishe watu makundi makundi kwenye majani,
40 And they lay down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
nao wakaketi kwenye makundi ya watu mia mia na wengine hamsini hamsini.
41 And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples to set before them; and the two fishes he divided among them all.
Yesu akaichukua ile mikate mitano na wale samaki wawili, akainua macho yake akatazama mbinguni, akavibariki na kuimega ile mikate. Kisha akawapa wanafunzi wake ili wawagawie wale watu wote. Pia akawagawia wote wale samaki wawili.
42 And they all ate, and were filled.
Watu wote wakala, wakashiba.
43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
Nao wanafunzi wake wakakusanya vipande vilivyosalia vya mikate na samaki, wakajaza vikapu kumi na viwili.
44 And they who ate of the loaves were five thousand men.
Idadi ya wanaume waliokula walikuwa 5,000.
45 And he immediately constrained his disciples to get into the boat, and to go before to the other side to Bethsaida, while he sent the multitude away.
Mara Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake waingie kwenye mashua watangulie kwenda Bethsaida, wakati yeye alikuwa akiwaaga wale makutano.
46 And when he had taken leave of them, he went away into the mountain to pray.
Baada ya kuwaaga wale watu, akaenda mlimani kuomba.
47 And when evening came, the boat was in the midst of the lake; and he was alone on the land.
Ilipofika jioni, ile mashua ilikuwa imefika katikati ya bahari, na Yesu alikuwa peke yake katika nchi kavu.
48 And when he saw them toiling hard in rowing, for the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he cometh to them, walking upon the lake. And he would have passed by them;
Akawaona wanafunzi wake wanahangaika na kupiga makasia kwa nguvu, kwa sababu upepo ulikuwa wa mbisho. Wakati wa zamu ya nne ya usiku, Yesu akawaendea wanafunzi wake, akiwa anatembea juu ya maji. Alikuwa karibu kuwapita,
49 but they, seeing him walking upon the lake, thought it was a spectre, and cried out.
lakini walipomwona akitembea juu ya maji, wakadhani ni mzimu. Wakapiga yowe,
50 For they all saw him, and were terrified. But he immediately spoke with them, and saith to them, Be of good cheer; it is I, be not afraid.
kwa sababu wote walipomwona waliogopa. Mara Yesu akasema nao, akawaambia, “Jipeni moyo! Ni mimi. Msiogope!”
51 And he went up to them into the boat, and the wind ceased. And they were exceedingly astonished, beyond measure.
Akapanda ndani ya mashua nao, na ule upepo ukakoma! Wakashangaa kabisa,
52 For they did not consider the matter of the loaves; but their heart was hardened.
kwa kuwa walikuwa hawajaelewa kuhusu ile mikate. Mioyo yao ilikuwa migumu.
53 And crossing over, they came to land, to Gennesaret; and anchored there.
Walipokwisha kuvuka, wakafika nchi ya Genesareti, wakatia nanga.
54 And when they had come out of the boat, the people immediately knowing who he was,
Mara waliposhuka kutoka mashua yao, watu wakamtambua Yesu.
55 ran through all that region, and began to carry about on beds those that were sick to the place where they heard he was.
Wakaenda katika vijiji vyote upesi, wakawabeba wagonjwa kwenye mikeka ili kuwapeleka mahali popote waliposikia kuwa Yesu yupo.
56 And wherever he entered into villages or cities or the open country, they laid the sick in the market-places, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched him were made well.
Kila mahali Yesu alipokwenda, iwe vijijini, mijini au mashambani, watu waliwaweka wagonjwa wao masokoni. Wakamwomba awaruhusu hao wagonjwa waguse japo upindo wa vazi lake. Nao wote waliomgusa waliponywa.
