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, kulikuwa tena na umati mkubwa, na hawakuwa na 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 umati huu, wameendelea kuwa nami kwa 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.
Nikiwatawanya warudi majumbani kwao bila kula wanaweza wakazimia njiani kwa njaa. Na baadhi yao wametoka mbali sana.”
4 And his disciples answered him, Whence can ally one satisfy these men with bread here in a wilderness?
Wanafunzi wake wakamjibu, “Tutapata wapi mikate ya kutosha kuwashibisha watu hawa katika eneo hili lililoachwa?”
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
Akawauliza, “mna vipande vingapi vya mikate?” Wakasema, “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.
Aliuamuru umati ukae chini. Akachukua mikate saba, akamshukuru Mungu, na kuivunja. Akawapa wanafunzi wake waiweke mbele yao, nao wakaiweka mbele ya umati.
7 And they had a few small fishes; and having blessed them, he set them before them.
Pia walikuwa na samaki wadogo wachache, na baada ya kushukuru, aliwaamuru wanafunzi wake wawagawie hivi pia.
8 And they ate, and were filled; and they took up of the fragments that remained, seven baskets.
Walikula na wakatosheka. Na walikusanya vipande vilivyo baki, vikapu vikubwa saba.
9 And they were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
Walikaribia watu elfu nne. Na aliwaacha waende.
10 And immediately going on board the boat with his disciples, he came into the region of Dalmanutha.
Mara aliingia kwenye mashua na wanafunzi wake, na wakaenda katika ukanda ya Dalmanuta.
11 And the Pharisees came out, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, trying him.
Kisha Mafarisayo walitoka nje na kuanza kubishana naye. Walitaka awape ishara kutoka mbinguni, kwa kumjaribu.
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.
Akatafakari kwa kina moyoni mwake akasema, “Kwa nini kizazi hiki kinatafuta ishara? Nawaambia ninyi kweli, hakuna ishara itakayotolewa kwa kizazi hiki.”
13 And leaving them, he again went on board and crossed to the other side.
Kisha akawaacha, akaingia ndani ya mashua tena, akaondoka kuelekea upande mwingine.
14 And they had forgotten to take bread, and had not in the boat with them more than one loaf.
Wakati huo wanafunzi walisahau kuchukua mikate. Hawakuwa na mikate zaidi ya kipande kimoja kilichokuwa kwenye mashua.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod.
Aliwaonya na kusema, “Muwe macho na mjilinde dhidi ya chachu ya Mafarisayo na chachu ya Herode.
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
Wanafunzi wakasemezana wao kwa wao, “Ni kwa sababu hatuna 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 alilitambua hili, na akawaambia, “Kwa nini mnasemezana kuhusu kutokuwa na mikate? Hamjajua bado? Hamuelewi? Mioyo yenu imekuwa miepesi?
18 Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? And do ye not remember,
Mna macho, hamuoni? Mna masikio, hamsikii? 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.
Nilipoigawanya mikate mitano kwa watu elfu tano, mlichukua vikapu vingapi vilivyo jaa vipande vya mikate?” Wakamjibu, “kumi na mbili.”
20 When also the seven among the four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did ye take up? And they say, Seven.
“Na nilipoigawanya mikate saba kwa watu elfu nne, mlichukua vikapu vingapi?”
21 And he said to them, Do ye not yet understand?
Wakasema, “Saba.” Akawaambia, “Bado hamuelewi?”
22 And they come to Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him.
Wakaja Bethsaida. Watu hao walimleta kwa Yesu mtu kipofu na 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 kwa mkono yule kipofu, na kumwongoza nje ya kijiji. Alipotema mate juu ya macho yake na kunyosha mikono yake juu yake, alimuuliza, “Unaona chochote?”
24 And he looked up, and said, I can see men, for I see them as trees, walking.
Alitazama juu na kusema, “Naona watu wanaonekana kama miti inatembea.”
25 Then he again put his hands on his eyes, and he saw clearly, and was restored, and saw all things distinctly.
Ndipo akanyosha tena mikono yake juu ya macho yake, mtu yule akafungua macho yake, aliona tena, na akaona kila kitu vizuri.
26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Go not into the village.
Yesu alimwacha aende nyumbani na akamwambia, “Usiingie mjini.”
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 aliondoka na wanafunzi wake kwenda vijiji vya Kaiseria ya Filipi. Wakiwa njiani aliwauliza wanafunzi, “Watu wanasema mimi ni nani?”
28 And they answered him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, One of the prophets.
Wakamjibu wakasema, “Yohana mbatizaji. Wengine wanasema, 'Eliya' na wengine, 'Mmoja 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, “Lakini ninyi mnasema mimi ni nani?” Petro kamwambia, “Wewe ni Kristo.”
30 And he strictly charged them to tell no one concerning him.
Yesu akawaonya wasimwabie mtu yeyote kumuhusu Yeye.
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;
Na akaanza kuwafundisha ya kuwa Mwana wa Adamu lazima ateseke kwa mambo mengi, na atakataliwa na viongozi na makuhani wakuu, na waandishi, na atauawa, na baada ya siku tatu atafufuka.
32 and he told them this plainly. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him.
Alisema haya kwa uwazi. Ndipo Petro akamchukua pembeni 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 aligeuka na kuwatazama wanafunzi wake na akamkemea Petro na kusema, “Pita nyuma yangu Shetani! Hujali mambo ya Mungu, isipokuwa mambo ya watu.”
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.
Kisha akauita umati na wanafunzi wake pamoja, na kuwaambia, “Kama kuna mtu anataka kunifuata, ajikane mwenyewe, achukue msalaba wake, na 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 kuwa yeyote anayetaka kuyaokoa maisha yake atayapoteza, na yeyote atakayepoteza 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?
Inamfaidia nini mtu, kupata ulimwengu wote, na kisha kupata hasara ya maisha yake?
37 For what can a man give as an exchange for his life?
Mtu anaweza kutoa nini badala ya maisha 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.
Yeyote anioneaye aibu na maneno yangu katika kizazi hiki cha wazinzi na kizazi cha wenye dhambi, Mwana wa Adamu atamwonea aibu atakapokuja katika ufalme wa Baba yake pamoja na malaika watakatifu.
