Mark 11
1 And when they draw nigh unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,
Walipokuwa wanakaribia Yerusalemu walifika Bethfage na Bethania, karibu na mlima wa Mizeituni. Hapo aliwatuma wawili wa wanafunzi wake,
2 and saith unto them, Go your way into the village that is over against you: and straightway as ye enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat; loose him, and bring him.
akawaambia, “Nendeni katika kijiji kilicho mbele yenu. Mtakapokuwa mnaingia humo, mtakuta mwana punda amefungwa ambaye bado hajatumiwa na mtu. Mfungueni mkamlete.
3 And if any one say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye, The Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him back hither.
Kama mtu akiwauliza, Mbona mnafanya hivyo? Mwambieni, Bwana anamhitaji na atamrudisha hapa mara.”
4 And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door without in the open street; and they loose him.
Basi, wakaenda, wakamkuta mwana punda barabarani amefungwa mlangoni. Walipokuwa wakimfungua,
5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
baadhi ya watu waliokuwa wamesimama hapo wakawauliza “Kwa nini mnamfungua huyo mwana punda?”
6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had said: and they let them go.
Wanafunzi wakajibu kama Yesu alivyokuwa amewaambia; nao wakawaacha waende zao.
7 And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and he sat upon him.
Wakampelekea Yesu huyo mwana punda. Wakatandika mavazi yao juu ya huyo mwana punda, na Yesu akaketi juu yake.
8 And many spread their garments upon the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields.
Watu wengi wakatandaza mavazi yao barabarani; wengine wakatandaza matawi ya miti waliyoyakata mashambani.
9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, Hosanna; Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
Watu wote waliotangulia na wale waliofuata wakapaaza sauti zao wakisema, “Hosana! Abarikiwe huyo ajaye kwa jina la Bwana!
10 Blessed [is] the kingdom that cometh, [the kingdom] of our father David: Hosanna in the highest.
Ubarikiwe Ufalme ujao wa baba yetu Daudi. Hosana juu mbinguni!”
11 And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had looked round about upon all things, it being now eventide, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
Yesu aliingia mjini Yerusalemu akaenda moja kwa moja mpaka Hekaluni, akatazama kila kitu kwa makini. Lakini kwa vile ilikwisha kuwa jioni, akaenda Bethania pamoja na wale kumi na wawili.
12 And on the morrow, when they were come out from Bethany, he hungered.
Kesho yake, walipokuwa wanatoka Bethania, Yesu aliona njaa.
13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it was not the season of figs.
Basi, akaona kwa mbali mtini wenye majani mengi. Akauendea ili aone kama ulikuwa na tunda lolote. Alipoufikia, aliukuta bila tunda lolote ila majani matupu, kwa vile hayakuwa majira ya mtini kuzaa matunda.
14 And he answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
Hapo akauambia mtini, “Tangu leo hata milele mtu yeyote asile matunda kwako.” Nao wanafunzi wake walisikia maneno hayo. (aiōn g165)
15 And they come to Jerusalem: and he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and them that bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves;
Basi, wakafika Yerusalemu. Yesu akaingia Hekaluni, akaanza kuwafukuza nje watu waliokuwa wanauza na kununua vitu humo ndani. Akazipindua meza za wale waliokuwa wakibadilishana fedha na viti vya wale waliokuwa wakiuza njiwa.
16 and he would not suffer that any man should carry a vessel through the temple.
Hakumruhusu mtu yeyote kupitia Hekaluni akichukua kitu.
17 And he taught, and said unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? but ye have made it a den of robbers.
Kisha akawafundisha, “Imeandikwa: Nyumba yangu itaitwa nyumba ya sala kwa ajili ya mataifa yote! Lakini ninyi mmeifanya kuwa pango la wanyang'anyi!”
18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, for all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.
Makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria waliposikia hayo, walianza kutafuta njia ya kumwangamiza. Lakini walimwogopa kwa sababu umati wa watu ulishangazwa na mafundisho yake.
19 And every evening he went forth out of the city.
Ilipokuwa jioni, Yesu na wanafunzi wake waliondoka mjini.
20 And as they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
Asubuhi na mapema, walipokuwa wanapita, waliuona ule mtini umenyauka wote, hata mizizi.
21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
Petro aliukumbuka, akamwambia Yesu, “Mwalimu, tazama! Ule mtini ulioulaani, umenyauka!”
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
Yesu akawaambia, “Mwaminini Mungu.
23 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it.
Nawaambieni kweli, mtu akiuambia mlima huu: Ng'oka ukajitose baharini bila kuona shaka moyoni mwake, ila akaamini kwamba mambo yote anayosema yanafanyika, atafanyiwa jambo hilo.
24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye have received them, and ye shall have them.
Kwa hiyo nawaambieni, mnaposali na kuomba kitu, aminini kwamba mmekipokea, nanyi mtapewa.
25 And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one; that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
Mnaposimama kusali, sameheni kila mtu aliyewakosea chochote, ili Baba yenu aliye mbinguni awasamehe ninyi makosa yenu.
Lakini msipowasamehe wengine, hata Baba yenu aliye mbinguni hatawasamehe ninyi makosa yenu.”
27 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders;
Basi, wakafika tena Yerusalemu. Yesu alipokuwa akitembea Hekaluni, makuhani wakuu, walimu wa Sheria na wazee walimwendea,
28 and they said unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who gave thee this authority to do these things?
wakamwuliza, “Unafanya mambo haya kwa mamlaka gani? Nani aliyekupa mamlaka ya kufanya mambo haya?”
29 And Jesus said unto them, I will ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Nitawaulizeni swali moja; mkinijibu, na pia nitawaambieni ni kwa mamlaka gani ninafanya mambo haya.
30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? answer me.
Je, mamlaka ya Yohane ya kubatiza yalitoka mbinguni ama kwa watu? Nijibuni.”
31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
Wakaanza kujadiliana, “Tukisema, Yalitoka mbinguni, atatuuliza, Basi, mbona hamkumsadiki?
32 But should we say, From men—they feared the people: for all verily held John to be a prophet.
Na tukisema, Yalitoka kwa watu...” (Waliogopa umati wa watu maana wote waliamini kwamba Yohane alikuwa kweli nabii.)
33 And they answered Jesus and say, We know not. And Jesus saith unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
Basi, wakamjibu Yesu, “Sisi hatujui.” Naye Yesu akawaambia, “Nami pia sitawaambieni ninafanya mambo haya kwa mamlaka gani.”
