Mark 8
1 In those days, there being again a great multitude, and they having nothing to eat, he called the disciples to him, and saith to them,
Katika siku hizo, umati mkubwa wa watu ulikusanyika tena. Kwa kuwa walikuwa hawana chakula, Yesu akawaita wanafunzi wake akawaambia,
2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have remained with me now three days, and they have nothing to eat.
“Ninauhurumia huu umati wa watu, kwa sababu sasa wamekuwa nami kwa muda wa siku tatu na hawana chakula.
3 And if I send them away fasting to their houses, they will faint on the road; and some of them have come from altar.
Nikiwaaga waende nyumbani bila kula, watazimia njiani kwa sababu baadhi yao wametoka mbali.”
4 And his disciples answered him, Whence can ally one satisfy these men with bread here in a wilderness?
Wanafunzi wake wakamjibu, “Lakini hapa nyikani tutapata wapi mikate ya kutosha kuwalisha?”
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
Yesu akawauliza, “Mna mikate mingapi?” Wakajibu, “Tuna mikate saba.”
6 And he ordered the multitude to lie down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.
Akawaambia watu waketi chini. Akiisha kuichukua mikate saba na kushukuru, akaimega na kuwapa wanafunzi wake ili wawagawie watu. Wanafunzi wake wakafanya hivyo.
7 And they had a few small fishes; and having blessed them, he set them before them.
Walikuwa pia na visamaki vichache, Yesu akavibariki, akawaamuru wanafunzi wake wawagawie watu.
8 And they ate, and were filled; and they took up of the fragments that remained, seven baskets.
Wale watu walikula na kutosheka. Baadaye wanafunzi wakakusanya vipande vilivyosalia, wakajaza vikapu saba.
9 And they were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
Watu waliokula walikuwa wapata 4,000. Akiisha kuwaaga,
10 And immediately going on board the boat with his disciples, he came into the region of Dalmanutha.
aliingia kwenye mashua pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akaenda sehemu za Dalmanutha.
11 And the Pharisees came out, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, trying him.
Mafarisayo wakaja, wakaanza kumhoji Yesu. Ili kumtega, wakamwomba awaonyeshe ishara kutoka mbinguni.
12 And sighing deeply in his spirit, he saith, Why doth this generation seek for a sign? Truly do I say to you, A sign will not he given to this generation.
Akahuzunika moyoni, akawaambia, “Kwa nini kizazi hiki kinataka ishara? Amin nawaambieni, hakitapewa ishara yoyote.”
13 And leaving them, he again went on board and crossed to the other side.
Kisha akawaacha, akarudi kwenye mashua, akavuka hadi ngʼambo.
14 And they had forgotten to take bread, and had not in the boat with them more than one loaf.
Wanafunzi walikuwa wamesahau kuchukua mikate ya kutosha. Walikuwa na mkate mmoja tu kwenye mashua.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod.
Yesu akawaonya: “Jihadharini na chachu ya Mafarisayo na ya Herode.”
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
Wakajadiliana wao kwa wao, na kusema, “Anasema hivi kwa sababu hatukuleta mikate.”
17 And knowing it, he saith to them, Why are ye reasoning, because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet perceive nor understand? Have ye your mind still blinded?
Yesu, akifahamu majadiliano yao, akawauliza: “Mbona mnajadiliana kuhusu kutokuwa na mikate? Je, bado hamtambui wala hamwelewi? Je, mbona mioyo yenu ni migumu kiasi hicho?
18 Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? And do ye not remember,
Je, mna macho lakini mnashindwa kuona, na mna masikio lakini mnashindwa kusikia? Je, hamkumbuki?
19 when I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, and how many baskets full of fragments ye took up? They say to him, Twelve.
Nilipoimega ile mikate mitano kuwalisha watu 5,000, mlikusanya vikapu vingapi vilivyojaa vya masazo?” Wakamjibu, “Kumi na viwili.”
20 When also the seven among the four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did ye take up? And they say, Seven.
“Je, nilipoimega ile mikate saba kuwalisha watu 4,000, mlikusanya vikapu vingapi vilivyojaa vya masazo?” Wakamjibu, “Saba.”
21 And he said to them, Do ye not yet understand?
Ndipo akawauliza, “Je, bado hamwelewi?”
22 And they come to Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him.
Wakafika Bethsaida na baadhi ya watu wakamleta mtu mmoja kipofu wakamsihi Yesu amguse.
23 And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the village; and spitting on his eyes, and putting his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
Yesu akamshika mkono huyo kipofu akampeleka nje ya kijiji. Baada ya kuyatemea mate macho ya yule kipofu na kumwekea mikono, Yesu akamuuliza, “Unaona chochote?”
24 And he looked up, and said, I can see men, for I see them as trees, walking.
Yule kipofu akaangalia, akasema, “Ninaona watu, wanaonekana kama miti inayotembea.”
25 Then he again put his hands on his eyes, and he saw clearly, and was restored, and saw all things distinctly.
Yesu akamwekea tena mikono machoni. Kisha macho yake yakafunguka, kuona kwake kukarejea naye akaona kila kitu dhahiri.
26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Go not into the village.
Yesu akamuaga aende nyumbani kwake, akimwambia, “Hata kijijini usiingie.”
27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am?
Yesu na wanafunzi wake wakaondoka kwenda katika vijiji vya Kaisaria-Filipi. Walipokuwa njiani, Yesu akawauliza, “Watu husema mimi ni nani?”
28 And they answered him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, One of the prophets.
Wakamjibu, “Baadhi husema wewe ni Yohana Mbatizaji, wengine husema ni Eliya, na bado wengine husema wewe ni mmojawapo wa manabii.”
29 And he asked them, But who do ye say that I am? Peter answering saith to him, Thou art the Christ.
Akawauliza, “Je, ninyi mnasema mimi ni nani?” Petro akajibu, “Wewe ndiwe Kristo.”
30 And he strictly charged them to tell no one concerning him.
Yesu akawaonya wasimwambie mtu yeyote habari zake.
31 And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days rise again;
Ndipo akaanza kuwafundisha wanafunzi wake kuwa Mwana wa Adamu lazima atapata mateso mengi na kukataliwa na wazee, viongozi wa makuhani, na walimu wa sheria, na kwamba itampasa auawe lakini baada ya siku tatu afufuke.
32 and he told them this plainly. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him.
Aliyasema haya waziwazi, ndipo Petro akamchukua kando na akaanza kumkemea.
33 But he turning about and looking at his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith, Get thee behind me, Satan! for thy thoughts are not on the things of God, but on those of men.
Lakini Yesu alipogeuka na kuwaangalia wanafunzi wake, akamkemea Petro. Akasema, “Rudi nyuma yangu, Shetani! Moyo wako hauwazi yaliyo ya Mungu, bali ya wanadamu.”
34 And calling the multitude to him with his disciples also, he said to them, Whoever chooseth to follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Ndipo akauita ule umati wa watu pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akasema, “Mtu yeyote akitaka kunifuata, ni lazima ajikane mwenyewe, auchukue msalaba wake, anifuate.
35 For whoever chooseth to save his life, will lose it; but whoever shall lose his life for the sake of me and of the glad tidings, will save it.
Kwa maana yeyote anayetaka kuyaokoa maisha yake atayapoteza, lakini yeyote atakayeyapoteza maisha yake kwa ajili yangu na kwa ajili ya Injili atayaokoa.
36 For what doth it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
Je, itamfaidi nini mtu kuupata ulimwengu wote, lakini akayapoteza maisha yake?
37 For what can a man give as an exchange for his life?
Au mtu atatoa nini badala ya nafsi yake?
38 For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will also the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Mtu yeyote akinionea aibu mimi na maneno yangu katika kizazi hiki cha uzinzi na dhambi, Mwana wa Adamu naye atamwonea aibu wakati atakapokuja katika utukufu wa Baba yake pamoja na malaika watakatifu.”
