Mark 6
1 And he went out from thence, and cometh into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
Yesu aliondoka hapo akaenda katika kijiji chake, akifuatwa 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?
Siku ya Sabato ilipofika, alianza kufundisha katika sunagogi. Wengi waliomsikia walishangaa, wakasema, “Je, ameyapata wapi mambo haya? Ni hekima gani hii aliyopewa? Tena, anatendaje maajabu haya anayoyafanya?
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 Maria, na ndugu yao kina Yakobo, Yose, Yuda na Simoni; Je, dada zake si wanaishi papa hapa kwetu?” Basi, wakawa na mashaka naye.
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 nchi yake, kwa jamaa 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.
Alishangaa sana kwa sababu ya kutoamini kwao. Kisha Yesu alivitembelea vijiji vya pale karibu akiwafundisha watu.
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 wawiliwawili. Aliwapa uwezo wa kuwatoa 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, “Msichukue chochote mnapokwenda isipokuwa fimbo tu. Msichukue mkate, wala mkoba, wala fedha kibindoni.
9 but to be shod with sandals; and, Do not put on two coats.
Vaeni viatu lakini msivae kanzu mbili.”
10 And he said to them, Wherever ye enter a house, there abide fill ye leave that place.
Tena aliwaambia, “Popote mtakapokaribishwa nyumbani, kaeni humo mpaka mtakapoondoka mahali hapo.
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.
Mahali popote ambapo watu watakataa kuwakaribisheni au kuwasikiliza, ondokeni hapo na kuyakung'uta mavumbi miguuni mwenu kama onyo kwao.”
12 And they went out and preached that men should repent;
Basi, wakaondoka, wakahubiri watu watubu.
13 and they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many sick persons, and healed them.
Waliwafukuza pepo wengi wabaya; wakawapaka mafuta wagonjwa wengi, wakawaponya.
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.
Basi, mfalme Herode alisikia juu ya hayo yote, maana sifa za Yesu zilienea kila mahali. Baadhi ya watu walikuwa wakisema, “Yohane Mbatizaji amefufuka kutoka wafu, ndiyo maana nguvu za miujiza zinafanya kazi ndani yake.”
15 And others said, It is a prophet, as one of the prophets.
Wengine walisema, “Mtu huyu ni Eliya.” Wengine walisema, “Huyu ni nabii kama mmojawapo wa manabii wa kale.”
16 But Herod hearing of it said, John, whom I beheaded, hath risen again.
Lakini Herode alipopata habari hizi alisema, “Huyu ni Yohane! Nilimkata kichwa, lakini amefufuka.”
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.
Hapo awali Herode mwenyewe alikuwa ameamuru Yohane atiwe nguvuni, akamfunga gerezani. Herode alifanya hivyo kwa sababu ya Herodia ambaye Herode alimwoa ingawaje alikuwa mke wa Filipo, ndugu yake.
18 For John had said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
Yohane alikuwa amemwambia Herode, “Si halali kwako kumchukua mke wa ndugu yako.”
19 And Herodias was enraged against him, and wished to put him to death, but could not.
Basi Herodia alimchukia sana Yohane, akataka kumwua, asiweze.
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.
Herode alimwogopa Yohane kwa maana alijua kwamba yeye ni mtu mwema na mtakatifu, na hivyo akamlinda. Herode alipenda kumsikiliza Yohane, ingawaje baada ya kumsikiliza, alifadhaika sana.
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,
Ikapatikana nafasi, wakati wa sikukuu ya kuzaliwa kwake Herode. Herode aliwafanyia karamu wazee wa baraza lake, majemadari 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.
Basi, binti yake Herodia aliingia, akacheza, akawafurahisha sana Herode na wageni wake. Mfalme akamwambia huyo msichana, “Niombe 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 akamwapia, “Chochote utakachoniomba, nitakupa: hata ikiwa 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.
Hapo huyo msichana akatoka, akamwuliza mama yake, “Niombe nini?” Naye akamjibu, “Kichwa cha Yohane 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.
Msichana akamrudia mfalme mbio akamwomba, “Nataka unipe sasa hivi katika sinia kichwa cha Yohane 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 akahuzunika sana, lakini kwa sababu ya kiapo chake, na kwa ajili ya wale wageni wake karamuni, 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,
Basi, mfalme akamwamuru askari kukileta kichwa cha Yohane. Askari akaenda, akamkata kichwa Yohane mle gerezani,
28 and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother.
akakileta katika sinia, akampa msichana naye 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 Yohane walipopata habari, walikwenda wakachukua mwili wake, wakauzika kaburini.
30 And the apostles gather together to Jesus, and told him all which they had done and taught.
Wale mitume walirudi, wakakusanyika mbele ya Yesu wakamwarifu yote waliyotenda 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.
Alisema hivyo kwa kuwa kulikuwa na watu wengi mno walikuwa wanafika hapo na kuondoka hata Yesu na wanafunzi wake hawakuweza kupata nafasi ya kula chakula. Basi, Yesu akawaambia, “Twendeni peke yetu mahali pa faragha kula chakula, mkapumzike kidogo.”
32 And they went away into a desert place in the boat apart.
Basi, Wakaondoka peke yao kwa mashua, wakaenda mahali pa faragha.
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 waliwaona wakienda, wakawatambua. Hivyo wengi wakatoka katika kila mji, wakakimbilia huko Yesu na wanafunzi wake walikokuwa wanakwenda, wakawatangulia 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.
Waliposhuka pwani, Yesu aliona umati mkubwa wa watu, akawahurumia, kwa sababu walikuwa kama kondoo wasio na mchungaji. 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;
Saa za mchana zilikwisha pita. Basi, wanafunzi wakamwendea Yesu, wakamwambia, “Hapa ni nyikani, na sasa kunakuchwa.
36 send them away, that they may go into the surrounding fields and villages, and buy themselves something to eat.
Afadhali uwaage watu waende mashambani na katika vijiji vya jirani, wanunue 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 akawaambia, “Wapeni ninyi chakula.” Nao wakamwuliza, “Je, twende kununua mikate kwa fedha dinari mia mbili, na kuwapa chakula?”
38 He saith to them, How many loaves have ye? Go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
Yesu akawauliza, “Mnayo mikate mingapi? Nendeni mkatazame.” Walipokwisha tazama, wakamwambia, “Kuna mikate mitano na samaki wawili.”
39 And he ordered them to make all lie down in companies upon the green grass.
Basi, Yesu akawaamuru wanafunzi wawaketishe watu wote makundimakundi penye nyasi.
40 And they lay down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
Nao wakaketi makundimakundi ya watu mia moja na ya watu 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 Yesu akaitwaa ile mikate mitano na wale samaki wawili, akatazama juu mbinguni, akamshukuru Mungu, akaimega mikate, akawapa wanafunzi wake wawagawie watu. Na wale samaki wawili pia akawagawia wote.
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.
Wakaokota mabaki ya mikate na samaki pia, wakajaza vikapu kumi na viwili.
44 And they who ate of the loaves were five thousand men.
Nao waliokula hiyo mikate walikuwa wanaume elfu tano.
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 akawaamuru wanafunzi wake wapande mashua, wamtangulie kwenda Bethsaida, ng'ambo ya ziwa, wakati yeye anauaga umati wa watu.
46 And when he had taken leave of them, he went away into the mountain to pray.
Baada ya kuwaaga watu alikwenda mlimani kusali.
47 And when evening came, the boat was in the midst of the lake; and he was alone on the land.
Ilipokuwa jioni, mashua ilikuwa katikati ya ziwa, naye 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;
Basi, akawaona wanafunzi wake wakitaabika kwa kupiga makasia, maana upepo ulikuwa unawapinga. Karibu na mapambazuko, Yesu aliwaendea akitembea juu ya maji. Alitaka kuwapita.
49 but they, seeing him walking upon the lake, thought it was a spectre, and cried out.
Lakini walimwona 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.
Maana wote walipomwona waliogopa sana. Mara Yesu akasema nao, “Tulieni, ni mimi. Msiogope!”
51 And he went up to them into the boat, and the wind ceased. And they were exceedingly astonished, beyond measure.
Kisha akapanda mashuani walimokuwa, na upepo ukatulia. Nao wakashangaa sana.
52 For they did not consider the matter of the loaves; but their heart was hardened.
maana hawakuwa bado wameelewa maana ya ile mikate. Akili zao zilikuwa bado zimepumbazika.
53 And crossing over, they came to land, to Gennesaret; and anchored there.
Walivuka ziwa, wakafika nchi ya Genesareti, wakatia nanga.
54 And when they had come out of the boat, the people immediately knowing who he was,
Walipotoka mashuani, mara 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.
Basi, kwa haraka wakazunguka katika nchi ile yote, wakaanza kuwachukua wagonjwa wamelala juu ya mikeka yao, wakawapeleka kila mahali waliposikia 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, vijijini, mijini, au mashambani, watu waliwaweka wagonjwa uwanjani, wakamsihi waguse walau pindo la vazi lake. Nao wote waliomgusa walipona.
