Mark 11
1 When they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples
Wakati huo walipokuja Yerusalemu, walipokaribia Besthfage na Bethania, katika Mlima wa Mizeituni, Yesu aliwatuma wawili miongoni mwa wanafunzi wake
2 and said to them, “Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him and bring him.
na aliwaambia, “Nendeni katika kijiji kinachokabiliana nasi. Mara mtakapoingia humo, mtamkuta mwanapunda ambaye hajapandwa. Mfungueni na mmlete kwangu.
3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs him;’ and immediately he will send him back here.”
Na kama yeyote akiwaambia, 'Kwa nini mnafanya hivi'?, mnapaswa kusema, 'Bwana anamhitaji na mara atamrudisha hapa'.”
4 They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.
Walikwenda na kumkuta mwanapunda amefungwa nje mlangoni kwenye mtaa ulio wazi, nao walimfungua.
5 Some of those who stood there asked them, “What are you doing, untying the young donkey?”
Na baadhi ya watu walikuwa wamesimama pale na waliwaambia, “Mnafanya nini, kumfungua mwanapunda huyo?”
6 They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.
Waliwaambia kama Yesu alivyowaambia, na watu wakawaacha waende.
7 They brought the young donkey to Jesus and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.
Wanafunzi wawili walimleta mwanapunda kwa Yesu na walitandika mavazi yao juu yake ili Yesu aweze kumpanda.
8 Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.
Watu wengi wakatandika mavazi yao barabarani, na wengine wakatandika matawi waliyoyakata kutoka mashambani.
9 Those who went in front and those who followed cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
Wale waliokwenda mbele yake na wale waliomfuata walipiga kelele, “Hosana! Amebarikiwa anayekuja kwa jina la Bwana.
10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
Ubarikiwe ufalme unaokuja wa baba yetu Daudi! Hosana kwa aliye juu”
11 Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
Ndipo Yesu aliingia Yerusalemu na alikwenda hekaluni na alitazama kila kitu. Sasa, wakati ulikuwa umeenda, alikwenda Bethania pamoja nao kumi na wawili.
12 The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.
Siku iliyofuata, wakati walipokuwa wakirudi kutoka Bethania, alikuwa na njaa.
13 Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
Na akaona mti wa mtini uliokuwa na majani kwa mbali, alikwenda kutazama kama angeweza kupata chochote juu yake. Na wakati alipokwenda kwa huo, hakupata chochote isipokuwa majani, kwa kuwa haikuwa majira ya mtini.
14 Jesus told it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” and his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
Aliuambia, “Hakuna yeyote atakayekula tunda kutoka kwako tena”. Na wanafunzi wake wakasikia. (aiōn g165)
15 They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.
Walikuja Yerusalemu, naye aliingia hekaluni na kuanza kuwatoa nje wauzaji na wanunuzi ndani ya hekalu. Alizipindua meza za wabadilishaji wa fedha na viti vya wale waliokuwa wakiuza njiwa.
16 He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.
Hakumruhusu yeyote kubeba chochote hekaluni kilichoweza kuuzwa.
17 He taught, saying to them, “Isn’t it written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers!”
Aliwafundisha na akasema, “Je haikuandikwa, 'nyumba yangu itaitwa nyumba ya sala kwa mataifa yote'? Lakini mmeifanya pango la wanyang'anyi”.
18 The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.
Makuhani wakuu na waandishi walisikia alivyokuwa amesema, nao walitafuta njia ya kumwua. Hata hivyo walimwogopa kwa sababu umati ulishangazwa na mafundisho yake.
19 When evening came, he went out of the city.
Na kila wakati jioni ilipofika, waliondoka mjini.
20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
Walipokuwa wakitembea asubuhi, waliuona mti wa mtini umekauka mpaka kwenye mizizi yake.
21 Peter, remembering, said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.”
Petro alikumbuka na kusema, “Rabi! Tazama, mti wa mtini ulioulaani umekauka”.
22 Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.
Yesu aliwajibu, “Muwe na imani katika Mungu.
23 For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening, he shall have whatever he says.
Amini nawaambia kwamba kila auambiaye mlima huu, 'Ondoka, na ukajitupe mwenyewe baharini, 'na kama hana mashaka moyoni mwake lakini anaamini kwamba alichokisema kitatokea, hivyo ndivyo Mungu atakavyofanya.
24 Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.
Kwa hiyo ninawaambia: kila kitu muombacho na kuuliza kwa ajili yake, aminini kwamba mmepokea, navyo vitakuwa vyenu.
25 Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.
Wakati mnaposimama na kuomba, mnapaswa kusamehe chochote mlichonacho dhidi ya yeyote, ili kwamba Baba yenu aliye mbinguni awasamehe pia ninyi makosa yenu.
26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.”
(Zingatia: Mstari huu, “Lakini msiposamehe, wala Baba yenu aliye mbinguni hatasamehe dhambi zenu” haumo kwenye nakala za kale).
27 They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him,
Walikuja Yerusalemu tena. Na Yesu alipokuwa akitembea hekaluni, makuhani wakuu, waandishi na wazee walikuja kwake.
28 and they began saying to him, “By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?”
Walimwambia, “Kwa mamlaka gani unafanya mambo haya?” Na ni nani aliyekupa mamlaka kuyafanya haya?”
29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Yesu aliwaambia, “Nitawauliza swali moja. Niambieni na mimi nitawaambia kwa mamlaka gani ninayafanya mambo haya.
30 The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.”
Je, ubatizo wa Yohana ulitoka mbinguni au ulitoka kwa wanadamu? Nijibuni.”
31 They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘From heaven;’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
Walijadiliana miongoni mwao na kushindana na kusema, “Kama tukisema, 'Kutoka mbinguni,' atasema, 'Kwa nini basi hamkumwamini?'
32 If we should say, ‘From men’”—they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.
Lakini kama tukisema, 'Kutoka kwa wanadamu,'...” Waliwaogopa watu, kwa kuwa wote walishikilia kwamba Yohana alikuwa Nabii.
33 They answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
Ndipo walimjibu Yesu na kusema, “Hatujui. Ndipo Yesu akawaambia, “Wala mimi sitawaambia ni kwa mamlaka gani nayafanya mambo haya.
