Mark 6
1 And he went out from thence, and cometh into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
Na akaondoka hapo na kwenda mjini kwao, na wanafunzi wake wakamfuata.
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?
Sabato ilipofika, alianza kufundisha katika Sinagogi. Watu wengi walimsikia na wakashangazwa. Wakasema, “Amepata wapi mafundisho haya?” “Ni hekima gani hii aliyopewa?” “Anatendaje miujiza hii 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.
“Je huyu si yule seremala, mwana wa Mariamu na ndugu yao kina Yakobo, Yose, Yuda na Simioni? Je dada zake si wanaishi papa hapa pamoja nasi?” Na hawakufurahishwa na Yesu.
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 na miongoni mwa ndugu zake na nyumbani mwake.”
5 And he could not do any miracle there, except that he laid his hand upon a few sick persons, and cured them.
Hakuweza kutenda miujiza hapo, ila aliwawekea mikono wagonjwa wachache akawaponya.
6 And he wondered at their want of faith. And he went about the surrounding villages teaching.
Alishangazwa sana kwa sababu ya kutokuamini kwao. Kisha alivitembelea vijiji vya jirani 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;
Aliwaita wale wanafunzi kumi na wawili akaanza kuwatuma wawili wawili. Aliwapa mamlaka juu ya 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;
na kuwaamuru wasichukue chochote wanapokwenda isipokuwa fimbo tu. Wasichukue mkate, wala mkoba, wala fedha kibindoni;
9 but to be shod with sandals; and, Do not put on two coats.
lakini wavae viatu, na siyo kanzu mbili.
10 And he said to them, Wherever ye enter a house, there abide fill ye leave that place.
Na akawaambia, “Nyumba yoyote mtakayoingia, kaeni hapo mpaka mtakapoondoka.
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.
Na mji wowote usipowapokea wala kuwasikiliza, ondokeni kwao, kung'uteni mavumbi ya miguu yenu, iwe ushuhuda kwao.”
12 And they went out and preached that men should repent;
Nao wakaenda wakitangaza watu watubu na kuacha dhambi zao.
13 and they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many sick persons, and healed them.
Waliwafukuza pepo wengi, na waliwapaka mafuta wagonjwa na wakaponywa.
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 aliposikia hayo, kwa kuwa jina la Yesu lilikuwa limejulikana sana. Baadhi walisema, “Yohana mbatizaji amefufuka na kwa sababu hiyo, hii nguvu ya miujiza inafanya kazi ndani yake.”
15 And others said, It is a prophet, as one of the prophets.
Baadhi yao wakasema, “Huyu ni Eliya,” Bado wengine wakasema, “Huyu ni nabii, kama mmoja wa wale manabii wa zamani.”
16 But Herod hearing of it said, John, whom I beheaded, hath risen again.
Lakini Herode aliposikia haya akasema, “Yohana, niliyemkata kichwa amefufuliwa.”
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.
Maana Herode mwenyewe aliagiza Yohana akamatwe na alimfunga gerezani kwa sababu ya Herodia (mke wa kaka yake Filipo) kwa sababu yeye alikuwa amemuoa.
18 For John had said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
Kwa maana Yohana alimwambia Herode, “Si halali kumuoa mke wa kaka yako.”
19 And Herodias was enraged against him, and wished to put him to death, but could not.
Lakini Herodia alianza kumchukia na alikuwa akitaka 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.
maana Herode alimwogopa Yohana; alijua kwamba ni mwenye haki mtu mtakatifu, na alimwacha salama. Na alipoendelea kumsikiliza alihuzunika sana, lakini alifurahi 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,
Hata ilipofika wakati mwafaka ikiwa imekaribia siku ya kuzaliwa Herode akawaandalia moafisa wake karamu, na makamanda, na viongozi wa Galilaya.
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.
Ndipo binti wa Herodia akaingia na kucheza mbele yao, akamfurahisha Herode na wageni walioketi wakati wa chakula cha jioni. Ndipo mfalme akamwambia binti, “Niombe chochote unachotaka nami nitakupa.”
23 And he swore to her, Whatever thou shalt ask of me, I will give thee, to the half of my kingdom.
Akamwapia na kusema, chochote utakachoniomba, nitakupa, hata 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.
Akatoka nje akamuuliza mama yake, “Niombe nini?” Akasema, “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.
Na mara moja akaingia kwa mfalme akaanza kusema, “Nataka unipatie ndani ya sahani, kichwa cha Yohana Mbatizaji.”
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 alisikitishwa sana, lakini kwa sababu ya kiapo chake na kwa ajili ya wageni, hakuweza kumkatalia ombi lake.
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,
Hivyo, mfalme akatuma askari kati ya walinzi wake na kuwaagiza kwenda kumletea kichwa cha Yohana. Mlinzi alikwenda kumkata kichwa akiwa kifungoni.
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 sahani na kumpatia binti, na binti akampa mama yake.
29 And his disciples, when they heard of it, came and took up his body, and laid it in a tomb.
Na wanafunzi wake waliposikia hayo, walikwenda kuuchukua mwili wake wakaenda kuuzika kaburini.
30 And the apostles gather together to Jesus, and told him all which they had done and taught.
Na mitume, walikusanyika pamoja mbele ya Yesu, wakamweleza yote waliyofanya na waliyoyafundisha.
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.
Naye akawaambia, “Njooni wenyewe mahali pa faragha na tupumzike kwa muda.” Watu wengi walikuwa wanakuja na kuondoka, hata hawakupata nafasi ya kula.
32 And they went away into a desert place in the boat apart.
Hivyo wakapanda mashua wakaenda mahali pa faragha peke yao.
33 And many saw them departing, and knew them, and ran together on foot thither from all the cities, and arrived before them.
Lakini waliwaona wakiondoka na wengi wakawatambua, kwa pamoja walikimbia kwa miguu kutoka miji yote, nao wakafika kabla yao.
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.
Walipofika pwani, aliona umati mkubwa na akawahurumia, kwa sababu walikuwa kama kondoo wasiokuwa na mchungaji. Na 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;
Muda ulipoendelea sana, wanafunzi wakamjia wakamwambia,”Hapa ni mahali pa faragha na muda umeendelea.
36 send them away, that they may go into the surrounding fields and villages, and buy themselves something to eat.
Uwaage waende miji ya jirani na vijiji ili 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 akawajibu akisema, “Wapeni ninyi chakula.” Wakamwambia, “Tunaweza kwenda na kununua mikate yenye thamani ya dinari mia mbili na kuwapa wale?”
38 He saith to them, How many loaves have ye? Go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
Akawambia,” Mna mikate mingapi? Nendeni mkaangalie.” walipopata wakamwambia, “Mikate mitano na samaki wawili.”
39 And he ordered them to make all lie down in companies upon the green grass.
Akawaamuru watu waketi katika makundi juu ya majani mabichi.
40 And they lay down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
Wakawaketisha katika makundi; makundi ya mamia kwa 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.
Kisha akachukua mikate mitano na samaki wawili, na kutazama mbinguni, akaibariki kisha akawapa wanafunzi waweke mbele ya umati. Na kisha aligawa samaki wawili kwa watu wote.
42 And they all ate, and were filled.
Walikula wote hadi wakatosheka.
43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
Walikusanya vipande vya mikate iliyobaki, Vikajaa vikapu kumi na viwili, na pia vipande vya samaki.
44 And they who ate of the loaves were five thousand men.
Na walikuwa wanaume elfu tano waliokula mikate.
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 akawaambia wapande kwenye mashua waende sehemu nyingine, hadi Bethsaida, wakati Yeye akiwaaga makutano.
46 And when he had taken leave of them, he went away into the mountain to pray.
Walipokuwa wamekwisha kuondoka, akaenda mlimani kuomba.
47 And when evening came, the boat was in the midst of the lake; and he was alone on the land.
Kulipokuwa jioni, na mashua yao wakati huo ikiwa katikati ya bahari, naye alikuwa peke yake 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;
Na aliwaona wakitaabika kupiga makasia kwa sababu upepo uliwazuia. Ilipokaribia asubuhi akawaendea, akitembea juu ya maji, na alitaka kuwapita.
49 but they, seeing him walking upon the lake, thought it was a spectre, and cried out.
Lakini walipomwona anatembea juu ya maji, wakaingiwa na wasiwasi wakidhani ni mzimu hata wakapiga kelele.
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 walimwona wakajawa na hofu. Mara akasema nao akawaambia, “Muwe wajasiri! ni mimi! Msiwe na hofu.”
51 And he went up to them into the boat, and the wind ceased. And they were exceedingly astonished, beyond measure.
Akaingia ndani ya mashua, na upepo ukaacha kuvuma, nao wakamshangaa kabisa.
52 For they did not consider the matter of the loaves; but their heart was hardened.
Hivyo hawakuwa wameelewa maana ya ile mikate. Maana akili zao zilikuwa na uelewa mdogo.
53 And crossing over, they came to land, to Gennesaret; and anchored there.
Nao walipovuka ng'ambo, walifika nchi ya Genesareti mashua ikatia nanga.
54 And when they had come out of the boat, the people immediately knowing who he was,
Walipotoka nje ya mashua, mara wakamtambua.
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.
Wakakimbia kutangaza katika mkoa mzima na wakaanza kuwaleta wagonjwa kwa machela, kila waliposikia anakuja.
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.
Popote alipoingia katika vijiji, au mjini, au katika nchi, waliwaweka wagonjwa mahali pa soko, na wakamsihi awaruhusu kugusa pindo la vazi lake. Na wote waliomgusa waliponywa.
