Mark 9
1 AND he said to them, Amen I say to you, There are some who are standing here, who shall not taste death, until they shall have seen the kingdom of Aloha come with power.
Yesu akaendelea kuwaambia, “Amin, nawaambia, kuna watu waliosimama hapa ambao hawataonja mauti kabla ya kuuona Ufalme wa Mungu ukija kwa nguvu.”
2 And after six days Jeshu took Kipha, and Jacub, and Juchanon, and led them up to a high mountain by themselves. And he was altered before their eyes:
Baada ya siku sita, Yesu akawachukua Petro, Yakobo na Yohana, akawapeleka juu ya mlima mrefu, mahali walipokuwa faraghani. Huko, Yesu akageuka sura mbele yao.
3 and his raiment shone, and became exceeding white as the snow; as the sons of man on earth could not make white.
Mavazi yake yakawa na weupe wa kuzima macho, meupe kuliko ambavyo mtu yeyote duniani angaliweza kuyangʼarisha.
4 And there were seen with them Musha and Elia discoursing with Jeshu.
Mose na Eliya wakawatokea, wakawa wanazungumza na Yesu.
5 And Kipha said to him, Rabi, it is good for us here to be: and let us make three tabernacles; for thee one, and for Musha one, and for Elia one.
Petro akamwambia Yesu, “Rabi, ni vyema sisi tukae hapa. Turuhusu tujenge vibanda vitatu: kimoja chako, kingine cha Mose na kingine cha Eliya.”
6 But he knew not what he said, for they were in fear.
Petro hakujua aseme nini kwa maana yeye na wenzake walikuwa wameogopa sana.
7 And there was the cloud, and it shadowed over them: and the voice was from the cloud, saying, This is my Son, the Beloved, him hear.
Ndipo pakatokea wingu, likawafunika, nayo sauti kutoka lile wingu ikasema, “Huyu ni Mwanangu mpendwa. Msikieni yeye.”
8 And instantly, while the disciples looked, they saw no man, but Jeshu alone with them.
Mara walipotazama huku na huku, hawakuona tena mtu mwingine yeyote pamoja nao isipokuwa Yesu.
9 And while they were descending from the mountain, he charged them to tell no man what they had seen, until the Son of man should have arisen from the dead.
Walipokuwa wakishuka kutoka mlimani, Yesu akawakataza wasimwambie mtu yeyote mambo waliyoona, mpaka Mwana wa Adamu atakapokuwa amefufuka kutoka kwa wafu.
10 And they held discourse among themselves, and inquired what was this word, when he should have arisen from among the dead.
Wakalihifadhi jambo hilo wao wenyewe, lakini wakawa wanajiuliza, “Huku kufufuka kwa wafu maana yake nini?”
11 And they asked him, saying, How then say the Sophree that Elia must come before?
Wakamuuliza, “Kwa nini walimu wa sheria husema kwamba ni lazima Eliya aje kwanza?”
12 He said to them, Elia doth come before, to restore all things; and how it is written concerning the Son of man, that much he should suffer, and be rejected.
Yesu akawajibu, “Ni kweli, Eliya yuaja kwanza ili kutengeneza mambo yote. Mbona basi imeandikwa kwamba Mwana wa Adamu ni lazima ateseke sana na kudharauliwa?
13 But I tell you, Elia hath also come, and they have done to him whatever they would, as it is written concerning him.
Lakini ninawaambia, Eliya amekwisha kuja, nao wakamtendea walivyopenda, kama ilivyoandikwa kumhusu yeye.”
14 AND when he came to his disciples, he saw with them a great crowd, and the Sophree questioning with them.
Walipowafikia wale wanafunzi wengine, wakawakuta wamezungukwa na umati mkubwa wa watu na baadhi ya walimu wa sheria wakibishana nao.
15 And immediately all the crowd saw him, and wondered, and ran to salute him.
Mara wale watu walipomwona Yesu, wakastaajabu sana, wakamkimbilia ili kumsalimu.
16 And he inquired of the Sophree, What dispute you with them?
Akawauliza wanafunzi wake, “Mnabishana nao kuhusu nini?”
17 And one from the company answered and said, Malphona, I had brought my son to thee, because he hath a spirit which speaketh not;
Mtu mmoja miongoni mwa ule umati wa watu akajibu, “Mwalimu, nilimleta kwako mwanangu ambaye ana pepo mchafu anayemfanya asiweze kuongea.
18 and when he seizeth him, he dasheth him, and teareth and grindeth his teeth, and he becometh dry. And I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out, but they could not.
Kila mara huyo pepo mchafu ampagaapo mwanangu, humwangusha chini na kumfanya atokwe povu mdomoni na kusaga meno, kisha mwili wake hukauka. Niliwaomba wanafunzi wako wamtoe huyo pepo mchafu, lakini hawakuweza.”
19 Jeshu answered, and said to him, O generation that believeth not! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I tolerate you? bring him to me.
Yesu akawaambia, “Enyi kizazi kisicho na imani! Nitakuwa pamoja nanyi mpaka lini? Nitawavumilia mpaka lini? Mleteni mvulana kwangu.”
20 And they brought him unto him: and when the spirit saw him, he immediately dashed him, and he fell upon the ground; and was convulsed, and was torn.
Nao wakamleta yule mvulana. Yule pepo mchafu alipomwona Yesu, mara akamtia yule mvulana kifafa, akaanguka, akagaagaa chini huku akitokwa na povu kinywani.
21 And Jeshu asked the father, How long is it from the time from which it was thus? He saith to him, Behold, from his childhood.
Yesu akamuuliza baba yake, “Mwanao amekuwa katika hali hii tangu lini?” Akamjibu, “Tangu utoto wake.
22 And many times he casteth him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but whatever thou canst, help me, and have mercy upon me.
Mara kwa mara huyo pepo mchafu amekuwa akimwangusha kwenye moto au kwenye maji ili kumwangamiza. Lakini kama unaweza kufanya jambo lolote, tafadhali tuhurumie utusaidie.”
23 Jeshu saith to him, If thou canst believe, every thing can be to him who believeth.
Yesu akamwambia, “Kama ukiweza kuamini, yote yawezekana kwake yeye aaminiye.”
24 And in a moment the father of the youth cried out, weeping and saying, I am believing; help the defect of my faith.
Mara baba yake yule mvulana akapiga kelele akisema, “Ninaamini. Nisaidie kutokuamini kwangu!”
25 But when Jeshu saw the people running together, and assembling to him, he rebuked the unclean spirit, and said to him, Spirit, deaf and unspeaking! I command thee, come forth from him, and enter not into him again!
Yesu alipoona kwamba umati wa watu unakusanyika pamoja mbio, akamkemea yule pepo mchafu, akimwambia, “Wewe pepo bubu na kiziwi, nakuamuru umtoke, wala usimwingie tena!”
26 And that devil cried greatly, and crushed him, and went forth. And he became as the dead; as that many would say, He is dead.
Yule pepo mchafu akiisha kupiga kelele, akamtia kifafa kwa nguvu, na akamtoka. Yule mvulana alikuwa kama maiti, hivyo watu wengi wakasema, “Amekufa.”
27 But Jeshu took him by the hand, and raised him.
Lakini Yesu akamshika mkono, akamwinua, naye akasimama.
28 But when Jeshu had gone into the house, his disciples inquired of him by themselves, Why could not we cast him out?
Baada ya Yesu kuingia ndani ya nyumba, wanafunzi wake wakamuuliza wakiwa peke yao, “Mbona sisi hatukuweza kumtoa huyo pepo mchafu?”
29 Jeshu said to them, This kind with nothing can be cast out, but by fasting and prayer.
Yesu akawajibu, “Hali hii haiwezi kutoka isipokuwa kwa kuomba na kufunga.”
30 And when he had gone forth from thence, they passed into Galila: and he was not willing that any man should know of him.
Wakaondoka huko, wakapitia Galilaya. Yesu hakutaka mtu yeyote afahamu mahali walipo,
31 And he taught his disciples, and told them, That the Son of man would be delivered into the hands of men, and they would kill him; and that when he was slain, on the third day he should arise.
kwa maana alikuwa anawafundisha wanafunzi wake. Akawaambia, “Mwana wa Adamu atasalitiwa na kutiwa mikononi mwa watu. Nao watamuua, lakini siku tatu baada ya kuuawa atafufuka.”
32 But they understood not his word, and feared to ask him.
Lakini wao hawakuelewa kile alimaanisha, nao waliogopa kumuuliza maana yake.
33 AND they came to Kapher-nachum: and when they had entered the house, he asked them of what they had argued in the way among themselves.
Basi wakafika Kapernaumu na baada ya kuingia nyumbani akawauliza, “Mlikuwa mnabishana nini kule njiani?”
34 But they were silent: for they had contended in the way one with another, who should be greatest among them.
Lakini hawakumjibu, kwa sababu njiani walikuwa wakibishana kuhusu nani miongoni mwao alikuwa mkuu zaidi ya wote.
35 And Jeshu sat, and he called the twelve, and said to them, Whoever wills to be the first, shall be the last of all, and the servant of all.
Akaketi chini, akawaita wote kumi na wawili, akawaambia: “Kama mtu yeyote akitaka kuwa wa kwanza, hana budi kuwa wa mwisho na mtumishi wa wote.”
36 And he took a certain child, and made him stand in the midst: and he took him upon his arms, and said to them,
Kisha akamchukua mtoto mdogo, akamsimamisha katikati yao. Akamkumbatia, akawaambia,
37 Every one who receiveth (one who is) as this child in my name, me he receiveth: and whoever me receiveth, not me he receiveth, but Him who sent me.
“Mtu yeyote amkaribishaye mmoja wa hawa watoto wadogo kwa Jina langu, anikaribisha mimi. Naye anikaribishaye mimi, amkaribisha Baba yangu aliyenituma.”
38 Juchanon said to him, Rabi, we saw a man casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he did not adhere to us.
Yohana akamwambia, “Mwalimu, tumemwona mtu akitoa pepo wachafu kwa jina lako, nasi tukamkataza, kwa sababu yeye si mmoja wetu.”
39 Jeshu saith to them, Forbid him not; for no man who doeth powerful works in my name, can soon speak of me that which is evil.
Yesu akasema, “Msimkataze, kwa kuwa hakuna yeyote atendaye miujiza kwa Jina langu ambaye baada ya kitambo kidogo aweza kunena lolote baya dhidi yangu.
40 He therefore who is not against you is for you.
Kwa maana yeyote asiye kinyume chetu, yuko upande wetu.
41 For every one who shall give you only a cup of waters to drink in the name that you are of the Meshicha, Amen I say to you, He shall not lose his reward.
Amin, nawaambia, yeyote awapaye ninyi kikombe cha maji kwa Jina langu kwa sababu ninyi ni mali ya Kristo, hakika hataikosa thawabu yake.”
42 And every one who shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it had been better for him that an ass-millstone had been set to his neck, and he had been cast forth into the sea.
“Kama mtu yeyote akimsababisha mmojawapo wa wadogo hawa wanaoniamini kutenda dhambi, ingekuwa bora kwake afungiwe jiwe kubwa la kusagia shingoni mwake, na kutoswa baharini.
43 But if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: better for thee mutilated to go into life, than having two hands to go into gihana; (Geenna g1067)
Kama mkono wako ukikusababisha kutenda dhambi, ukate. Ni afadhali kwako kuingia katika uzima ukiwa na mkono mmoja, kuliko kuwa na mikono miwili lakini ukaingia jehanamu, mahali ambako moto hauzimiki. [ (Geenna g1067)
44 where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched.
Mahali ambako funza wake hawafi wala moto wake hauzimiki.]
45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: better for thee to go into life lame, than having two feet to fall into gihana: (Geenna g1067)
Kama mguu wako ukikusababisha kutenda dhambi, ukate. Ni afadhali kwako kuingia katika uzima ukiwa kiwete, kuliko kuwa na miguu miwili lakini ukaingia jehanamu. [ (Geenna g1067)
46 where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched.
Mahali ambako funza wake hawafi wala moto hauzimiki.]
47 And if thine eye offend thee, root it out: better for thee that with one eye thou enter the kingdom of Aloha, than having two eyes to fall into the gihana of fire: (Geenna g1067)
Nalo jicho lako likikusababisha kutenda dhambi, lingʼoe. Ni afadhali kwako kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu ukiwa na jicho moja, kuliko kuwa na macho mawili lakini ukatupwa jehanamu, (Geenna g1067)
48 where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched.
mahali ambako “‘funza wake hawafi, wala moto wake hauzimiki.’
49 For every (thing) with fire is salted, and every victim with salt shall be salted.
Kila mmoja atatiwa chumvi kwa moto.
50 Good is salt: but if the salt shall (become) insipid, how shall it be salted? Let there be in you salt, and in peace be one with another.
“Chumvi ni nzuri, lakini ikipoteza ladha yake utaifanyaje ili iweze kukolea tena? Mwe na chumvi ndani yenu, mkaishi kwa amani, kila mmoja na mwenzake.”
