Mark 11
1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
Walipokaribia Yerusalemu, wakafika Bethfage na Bethania katika Mlima wa Mizeituni. Yesu akawatuma wawili wa wanafunzi wake,
2 And saith to them, Go into the village over against you: and as soon as ye have entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which never man sat; loose him, and bring [him].
akawaambia, “Nendeni katika kijiji kilichoko mbele yenu. Na hapo mtakapoingia kijijini, mtamkuta mwana-punda amefungwa hapo, ambaye hajapandwa na mtu bado. Mfungueni, mkamlete hapa.
3 And if any man shall say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and immediately he will send him hither.
Kama mtu yeyote akiwauliza, ‘Mbona mnamfungua?’ Mwambieni, ‘Bwana anamhitaji, na atamrudisha hapa baada ya muda mfupi.’”
4 And they went, and found the colt tied by the door without, in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
Wakaenda, wakamkuta mwana-punda amefungwa kando ya barabara, karibu na mlango wa nyumba.
5 And certain of them that stood there, said to them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
Walipokuwa wanamfungua, watu waliokuwa wamesimama karibu wakawauliza, “Mna maana gani mnapomfungua huyo mwana-punda?”
6 And they said to them even as Jesus had commanded; and they let them go.
Wakawajibu kama vile Yesu alivyokuwa amewaagiza, nao wale watu wakawaruhusu.
7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
Kisha wakamleta huyo mwana-punda kwa Yesu na kutandika mavazi yao juu yake, naye akampanda.
8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off trees, and strewed [them] in the way.
Watu wengi wakatandaza mavazi yao barabarani, na wengine wakatandaza matawi waliyokuwa wamekata mashambani.
9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna: Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Kisha wale waliokuwa wametangulia mbele na wale waliokuwa wakifuata nyuma wakapaza sauti, wakisema, “Hosana!” “Amebarikiwa yeye ajaye kwa Jina la Bwana!”
10 Blessed [be] the kingdom of our Father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
“Umebarikiwa Ufalme unaokuja wa baba yetu Daudi!” “Hosana kwake yeye aliye juu!”
11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round upon all things, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany, with the twelve.
Yesu akaingia Yerusalemu na kwenda Hekaluni. Akaangalia kila kitu kilichokuwamo, lakini kwa kuwa ilishakuwa jioni, akaenda zake Bethania pamoja na wale kumi na wawili.
12 And on the morrow, when they had come from Bethany, he was hungry,
Kesho yake walipokuwa wakitoka Bethania, Yesu alikuwa na njaa.
13 And seeing a fig-tree afar off, having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing on it: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves: for the time of figs had not yet come.
Akauona mtini kwa mbali, naye akaenda ili aone kama ulikuwa na matunda. Alipoufikia, akakuta una majani tu, kwa kuwa hayakuwa majira ya tini.
14 And Jesus answered and said to it, Let no man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard [it]. (aiōn g165)
Akauambia ule mti, “Tangu leo mtu yeyote asile kamwe matunda kutoka kwako.” Wanafunzi wake walimsikia akisema hayo. (aiōn g165)
15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
Walipofika Yerusalemu, Yesu akaingia katika eneo la Hekalu, akaanza kuwafukuza wale waliokuwa wakinunua na kuuza humo ndani. Akazipindua meza za wale waliokuwa wakibadilisha fedha, na pia viti vya wale waliokuwa wakiuza njiwa,
16 And would not suffer that any man should carry [any] vessel through the temple.
wala hakumruhusu mtu yeyote kuchukua bidhaa kupitia ukumbi wa Hekalu.
17 And he taught, saying to them, Is it not written, My house shall be called by all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Naye alipokuwa akiwafundisha, akasema, “Je, haikuandikwa kuwa: “‘Nyumba yangu itaitwa nyumba ya sala kwa mataifa yote’? Lakini ninyi mmeifanya kuwa ‘pango la wanyangʼanyi.’”
18 And the scribes and chief priests heard [it], and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people were astonished at his doctrine.
Viongozi wa makuhani na walimu wa sheria wakapata habari hizi, nao wakaanza kutafuta njia ya kumuua, kwa kuwa walikuwa wakimwogopa, kwa sababu umati wote ulikuwa unashangazwa na mafundisho yake.
19 And when evening had come, he went out of the city.
Ilipofika jioni, Yesu na wanafunzi wake wakatoka nje ya mji.
20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig-tree dried up from the roots.
Asubuhi yake walipokuwa wakipita, wakauona ule mtini umenyauka kutoka juu hadi kwenye mizizi yake.
21 And Peter calling to remembrance, saith to him, Master, behold, the fig-tree which thou cursedst is withered.
Petro akakumbuka na kumwambia Yesu, “Rabi, tazama! Ule mtini ulioulaani umenyauka!”
22 And Jesus answering, saith to them, Have faith in God.
Yesu akawajibu, “Mwaminini Mungu.
23 For verily I say to you, that whoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that the things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatever he saith.
Amin, nawaambia, mtu yeyote atakayeuambia mlima huu, ‘Ngʼoka ukatupwe baharini,’ wala asione shaka moyoni mwake, bali aamini kwamba hayo asemayo yametukia, atatimiziwa.
24 Therefore I say to you, Whatever things ye desire when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them].
Kwa sababu hiyo nawaambia, yoyote mtakayoyaomba mkisali, aminini ya kwamba mmeyapokea, nayo yatakuwa yenu.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any: that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
Nanyi kila msimamapo kusali, sameheni mkiwa na neno na mtu, ili naye Baba yenu aliye mbinguni awasamehe ninyi makosa yenu. [
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Lakini kama ninyi msiposamehe, wala 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,
Wakafika tena Yerusalemu, na Yesu alipokuwa akitembea Hekaluni, viongozi wa makuhani, walimu wa sheria pamoja na wazee wa watu wakamjia.
28 And say to him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
Wakamuuliza, “Unafanya mambo haya kwa mamlaka gani? Na ni nani aliyekupa mamlaka ya kufanya hayo?”
29 And Jesus answered and said to them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Yesu akawajibu, “Nitawauliza swali moja. Nijibuni, nami nitawaambia ni kwa mamlaka gani ninafanya mambo haya.
30 The baptism of John, was [it] from heaven, or from men? answer me.
Niambieni, je, ubatizo wa Yohana ulitoka mbinguni au kwa wanadamu?”
31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
Wakahojiana wao kwa wao, wakisema, “Kama tukisema, ‘Ulitoka mbinguni,’ atatuuliza, ‘Mbona hamkumwamini?’
32 But if we shall say, from men; they feared the people: for all [men] counted John that he was a prophet indeed.
Lakini tukisema, ‘Ulitoka kwa wanadamu,’…” (Waliwaogopa watu, kwa sababu kila mtu aliamini kwamba Yohana alikuwa nabii wa kweli.)
33 And they answered and said to Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Kwa hiyo wakamjibu Yesu, “Hatujui.” Naye Yesu akawaambia, “Wala mimi sitawaambia ni kwa mamlaka gani ninatenda mambo haya.”
