Mark 10
1 And having risen thence, he doth come to the coasts of Judea, through the other side of the Jordan, and again do multitudes come together unto him, and, as he had been accustomed, again he was teaching them.
Yesu akaondoka huko, akavuka Mto Yordani, akaenda sehemu za Uyahudi. Umati mkubwa wa watu ukaenda kwake tena, naye kama ilivyokuwa desturi yake, akawafundisha.
2 And the Pharisees, having come near, questioned him, if it is lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting him,
Baadhi ya Mafarisayo wakaja ili kumjaribu kwa kumuuliza, “Je, ni halali mtu kumwacha mke wake?”
3 and he answering said to them, 'What did Moses command you?'
Yesu akawajibu, “Je, Mose aliwaamuru nini?”
4 and they said, 'Moses suffered to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.'
Wakajibu, “Mose aliruhusu kwamba mume anaweza kumwandikia mkewe hati ya talaka na kumwacha.”
5 And Jesus answering said to them, 'For the stiffness of your heart he wrote you this command,
Yesu akawaambia, “Mose aliwaandikia sheria hiyo kwa sababu ya ugumu wa mioyo yenu.
6 but from the beginning of the creation, a male and a female God did make them;
Lakini tangu mwanzo wa uumbaji, ‘Mungu aliwaumba mwanaume na mwanamke.
7 on this account shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife,
Kwa sababu hii mwanaume atamwacha baba yake na mama yake na kuambatana na mkewe, na hao wawili watakuwa mwili mmoja.’
8 and they shall be — the two — for one flesh; so that they are no more two, but one flesh;
Kwa hiyo hawatakuwa wawili tena, bali mwili mmoja.
9 what therefore God did join together, let not man put asunder.'
Basi, alichokiunganisha Mungu, mwanadamu asikitenganishe.”
10 And in the house again his disciples of the same thing questioned him,
Walipokuwa tena ndani ya nyumba, wanafunzi wake wakamuuliza kuhusu jambo hili.
11 and he saith to them, 'Whoever may put away his wife, and may marry another, doth commit adultery against her;
Akawajibu, “Mtu yeyote amwachaye mkewe na kuoa mke mwingine, anazini naye.
12 and if a woman may put away her husband, and is married to another, she committeth adultery.'
Naye mwanamke amwachaye mumewe na kuolewa na mume mwingine, anazini.”
13 And they were bringing to him children, that he might touch them, and the disciples were rebuking those bringing them,
Watu walikuwa wakimletea Yesu watoto wadogo ili awaguse, lakini wanafunzi wake wakawakemea.
14 and Jesus having seen, was much displeased, and he said to them, 'Suffer the children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;
Yesu alipoona yaliyokuwa yakitukia, akachukizwa. Akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Waacheni watoto wadogo waje kwangu, wala msiwazuie, kwa maana Ufalme wa Mungu ni wa wale walio kama hawa.
15 verily I say to you, whoever may not receive the reign of God, as a child — he may not enter into it;'
Amin, nawaambia, mtu yeyote asiyeupokea Ufalme wa Mungu kama mtoto mdogo, hatauingia kamwe.”
16 and having taken them in his arms, having put [his] hands upon them, he was blessing them.
Akawachukua watoto mikononi mwake, akawakumbatia, akaweka mikono yake juu yao, akawabariki.
17 And as he is going forth into the way, one having run and having kneeled to him, was questioning him, 'Good teacher, what may I do, that life age-during I may inherit?' (aiōnios g166)
Yesu alipokuwa anaondoka, mtu mmoja akamkimbilia, akapiga magoti mbele yake, akamuuliza, “Mwalimu mwema, nifanye nini ili niurithi uzima wa milele?” (aiōnios g166)
18 And Jesus said to him, 'Why me dost thou call good? no one [is] good except One — God;
Yesu akamwambia, “Mbona unaniita mwema? Hakuna yeyote aliye mwema ila Mungu peke yake.
19 the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Thou mayest not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.'
Unazijua amri: ‘Usiue, usizini, usiibe, usishuhudie uongo, usidanganye, waheshimu baba yako na mama yako.’”
20 And he answering said to him, 'Teacher, all these did I keep from my youth.'
Akamjibu, “Mwalimu, amri hizi zote nimezishika tangu nikiwa mtoto.”
21 And Jesus having looked upon him, did love him, and said to him, 'One thing thou dost lack; go away, whatever thou hast — sell, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me, having taken up the cross.'
Yesu akamtazama na kumpenda, akamwambia, “Umepungukiwa na kitu kimoja. Nenda ukauze kila kitu ulicho nacho uwape maskini hizo fedha, nawe utakuwa na hazina mbinguni. Kisha njoo, unifuate.”
22 And he — gloomy at the word — went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions.
Yule mtu aliposikia hayo, akasikitika sana. Akaondoka kwa huzuni kwa sababu alikuwa na mali nyingi.
23 And Jesus having looked round, saith to his disciples, 'How hardly shall they who have riches enter into the reign of God!'
Yesu akatazama pande zote, akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Itakuwa vigumu sana kwa wenye mali kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu!”
24 And the disciples were astonished at his words, and Jesus again answering saith to them, 'Children, how hard is it to those trusting on the riches to enter into the reign of God!
Wanafunzi wake wakashangazwa sana na maneno hayo. Lakini Yesu akawaambia tena, “Wanangu, tazama jinsi ilivyo vigumu kwa wale wanaotumainia mali kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu.
25 It is easier for a camel through the eye of the needle to enter, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.'
Ni rahisi zaidi kwa ngamia kupita kwenye tundu la sindano kuliko mtu tajirikuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu.”
26 And they were astonished beyond measure, saying unto themselves, 'And who is able to be saved?'
Wanafunzi wake wakashangaa sana. Wakaulizana wao kwa wao, “Ni nani basi awezaye kuokoka?”
27 And Jesus, having looked upon them, saith, 'With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.'
Yesu akawatazama, akawaambia, “Kwa mwanadamu jambo hili haliwezekani, lakini kwa Mungu sivyo. Mambo yote yanawezekana kwa Mungu.”
28 And Peter began to say to him, 'Lo, we left all, and we followed thee.'
Ndipo Petro akamjibu, “Tazama, tumeacha kila kitu na kukufuata wewe!”
29 And Jesus answering said, 'Verily I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my sake, and for the good news',
Yesu akasema, “Amin, nawaambia, hakuna mtu yeyote aliyeacha nyumba, ndugu wa kiume au wa kike, au mama au baba, au watoto au mashamba kwa ajili yangu na kwa ajili ya Injili,
31 and many first shall be last, and the last first.'
Lakini wengi walio wa kwanza watakuwa wa mwisho, na wa mwisho watakuwa wa kwanza.”
32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them, and they were amazed, and following they were afraid. And having again taken the twelve, he began to tell them the things about to happen to him,
Walikuwa njiani wakipanda kwenda Yerusalemu, na Yesu alikuwa ametangulia. Wanafunzi wake walishangaa, nao watu waliowafuata walijawa na hofu. Yesu akawachukua tena wale wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili kando na kuwaambia yatakayompata.
33 — 'Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations,
Akasema, “Tunapanda kwenda Yerusalemu, na Mwana wa Adamu atasalitiwa kwa viongozi wa makuhani na walimu wa sheria. Wao watamhukumu kifo na kumtia mikononi mwa watu wa Mataifa,
34 and they shall mock him, and scourge him, and spit on him, and kill him, and the third day he shall rise again.'
ambao watamdhihaki na kumtemea mate, watampiga na kumuua. Siku tatu baadaye atafufuka.”
35 And there come near to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying, 'Teacher, we wish that whatever we may ask for ourselves, thou mayest do for us;'
Kisha Yakobo na Yohana, wana wa Zebedayo, wakaja kwake na kumwambia, “Mwalimu, tunataka utufanyie lolote tutakalokuomba.”
36 and he said to them, 'What do ye wish me to do for you?'
Naye akawaambia, “Je, mwataka niwafanyie jambo gani?”
37 and they said to him, 'Grant to us that, one on thy right hand and one on thy left, we may sit in thy glory;'
Wakamwambia, “Tupe kukaa mmoja upande wako wa kuume na mwingine upande wako wa kushoto katika utukufu wako.”
38 and Jesus said to them, 'Ye have not known what ye ask; are ye able to drink of the cup that I drink of, and with the baptism that I am baptized with — to be baptized?'
Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Ninyi hamjui mnaloliomba. Je, mnaweza kukinywea kikombe ninyweacho mimi, au kubatizwa ubatizo nibatizwao mimi?”
39 And they said to him, 'We are able;' and Jesus said to them, 'Of the cup indeed that I drink of, ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with, ye shall be baptized;
Wakajibu, “Tunaweza.” Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “Kikombe nikinyweacho mtakinywea na ubatizo nibatizwao mtabatizwa,
40 but to sit on my right and on my left, is not mine to give, but — to those for whom it hath been prepared.'
lakini kuketi mkono wangu wa kuume au wa kushoto si juu yangu mimi kuwapa. Nafasi hizi ni kwa ajili ya wale walioandaliwa.”
41 And the ten having heard, began to be much displeased at James and John,
Wale wanafunzi wengine kumi waliposikia hayo, wakaanza kuwakasirikia Yakobo na Yohana.
42 but Jesus having called them near, saith to them, 'Ye have known that they who are considered to rule the nations do exercise lordship over them, and their great ones do exercise authority upon them;
Lakini Yesu akawaita wote pamoja na kuwaambia, “Mnafahamu kuwa wale wanaodhaniwa kuwa watawala wa watu wa Mataifa huwatawala watu kwa nguvu, nao wenye vyeo huonyesha mamlaka yao.
43 but not so shall it be among you; but whoever may will to become great among you, he shall be your minister,
Lakini isiwe hivyo kwenu. Badala yake, yeyote anayetaka kuwa mkuu miongoni mwenu hana budi kuwa mtumishi wenu,
44 and whoever of you may will to become first, he shall be servant of all;
na yeyote anayetaka kuwa wa kwanza, hana budi kuwa mtumwa wa wote.
45 for even the Son of Man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'
Kwa kuwa hata Mwana wa Adamu hakuja ili kutumikiwa, bali kutumika na kuutoa uhai wake uwe fidia kwa ajili ya wengi.”
46 And they come to Jericho, and as he is going forth from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, a son of Timaeus — Bartimaeus the blind — was sitting beside the way begging,
Kisha wakafika Yeriko. Yesu alipokuwa akiondoka mjini na wanafunzi wake pamoja na umati mkubwa wa watu, kipofu mmoja, jina lake Bartimayo, mwana wa Timayo, alikuwa ameketi kando ya njia akiomba msaada.
47 and having heard that it is Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and to say, 'The Son of David — Jesus! deal kindly with me;'
Aliposikia kuwa ni Yesu wa Nazareti aliyekuwa anapita, akaanza kupaza sauti akisema, “Yesu, Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!”
48 and many were rebuking him, that he might keep silent, but the more abundantly he cried out, 'Son of David, deal kindly with me.'
Watu wengi wakamkemea, wakamwambia akae kimya, lakini yeye akazidi kupaza sauti, akisema, “Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!”
49 And Jesus having stood, he commanded him to be called, and they call the blind man, saying to him, 'Take courage, rise, he doth call thee;'
Yesu akasimama na kusema, “Mwiteni.” Hivyo wakamwita yule mtu kipofu, wakamwambia, “Jipe moyo! Inuka, anakuita.”
50 and he, having cast away his garment, having risen, did come unto Jesus.
Akiwa analivua lile joho lake, alisimama na kumwendea Yesu.
51 And answering, Jesus saith to him, 'What wilt thou I may do to thee?' and the blind man said to him, 'Rabboni, that I may see again;'
Yesu akamuuliza, “Unataka nikufanyie nini?” Yule kipofu akajibu, “Mwalimu, nataka kuona.”
52 and Jesus said to him, 'Go, thy faith hath saved thee:' and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the way.
Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda zako, imani yako imekuponya.” Mara akapata kuona, akamfuata Yesu njiani.
