Mark 6
1 And he went forth thence, and came to his own country, and his disciples do follow him,
Yesu aliondoka hapo akaenda katika kijiji chake, akifuatwa na wanafunzi wake.
2 and sabbath having come, he began in the synagogue to teach, and many hearing were astonished, saying, 'Whence hath this one these things? and what the wisdom that was given to him, that also such mighty works through his hands are done?
Siku ya Sabato ilipofika, alianza kufundisha katika sunagogi. Wengi waliomsikia walishangaa, wakasema, “Je, ameyapata wapi mambo haya? Ni hekima gani hii aliyopewa? Tena, anatendaje maajabu haya anayoyafanya?
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us?' — and they were being stumbled at him.
Je, huyu si yule seremala mwana wa Maria, na ndugu yao kina Yakobo, Yose, Yuda na Simoni; Je, dada zake si wanaishi papa hapa kwetu?” Basi, wakawa na mashaka naye.
4 And Jesus said to them — 'A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and among his kindred, and in his own house;'
Yesu akawaambia, “Nabii hakosi heshima isipokuwa katika nchi yake, kwa jamaa zake na nyumbani mwake.”
5 and he was not able there any mighty work to do, except on a few infirm people having put hands he did heal [them];
Hakuweza kutenda miujiza hapo, ila aliwawekea mikono wagonjwa wachache, akawaponya.
6 and he wondered because of their unbelief. And he was going round the villages, in a circle, teaching,
Alishangaa sana kwa sababu ya kutoamini kwao. Kisha Yesu alivitembelea vijiji vya pale karibu akiwafundisha watu.
7 and he doth call near the twelve, and he began to send them forth two by two, and he was giving them power over the unclean spirits,
Aliwaita wale wanafunzi kumi na wawili, akaanza kuwatuma wawiliwawili. Aliwapa uwezo wa kuwatoa pepo wachafu,
8 and he commanded them that they may take nothing for the way, except a staff only — no scrip, no bread, no brass in the girdle,
na kuwaamuru, “Msichukue chochote mnapokwenda isipokuwa fimbo tu. Msichukue mkate, wala mkoba, wala fedha kibindoni.
9 but having been shod with sandals, and ye may not put on two coats.
Vaeni viatu lakini msivae kanzu mbili.”
10 And he said to them, 'Whenever ye may enter into a house, there remain till ye may depart thence,
Tena aliwaambia, “Popote mtakapokaribishwa nyumbani, kaeni humo mpaka mtakapoondoka mahali hapo.
11 and as many as may not receive you, nor hear you, going out thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony to them; verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in a day of judgment than for that city.'
Mahali popote ambapo watu watakataa kuwakaribisheni au kuwasikiliza, ondokeni hapo na kuyakung'uta mavumbi miguuni mwenu kama onyo kwao.”
12 And having gone forth they were preaching that [men] might reform,
Basi, wakaondoka, wakahubiri watu watubu.
13 and many demons they were casting out, and they were anointing with oil many infirm, and they were healing [them].
Waliwafukuza pepo wengi wabaya; wakawapaka mafuta wagonjwa wengi, wakawaponya.
14 And the king Herod heard, (for his name became public, ) and he said — 'John the Baptist out of the dead was raised, and because of this the mighty powers are working in him.'
Basi, mfalme Herode alisikia juu ya hayo yote, maana sifa za Yesu zilienea kila mahali. Baadhi ya watu walikuwa wakisema, “Yohane Mbatizaji amefufuka kutoka wafu, ndiyo maana nguvu za miujiza zinafanya kazi ndani yake.”
15 Others said — 'It is Elijah,' and others said — 'It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.'
Wengine walisema, “Mtu huyu ni Eliya.” Wengine walisema, “Huyu ni nabii kama mmojawapo wa manabii wa kale.”
16 And Herod having heard, said — 'He whom I did behead — John — this is he; he was raised out of the dead.'
Lakini Herode alipopata habari hizi alisema, “Huyu ni Yohane! Nilimkata kichwa, lakini amefufuka.”
17 For Herod himself, having sent forth, did lay hold on John, and bound him in the prison, because of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he married her,
Hapo awali Herode mwenyewe alikuwa ameamuru Yohane atiwe nguvuni, akamfunga gerezani. Herode alifanya hivyo kwa sababu ya Herodia ambaye Herode alimwoa ingawaje alikuwa mke wa Filipo, ndugu yake.
18 for John said to Herod — 'It is not lawful to thee to have the wife of thy brother;'
Yohane alikuwa amemwambia Herode, “Si halali kwako kumchukua mke wa ndugu yako.”
19 and Herodias was having a quarrel with him, and was willing to kill him, and was not able,
Basi Herodia alimchukia sana Yohane, akataka kumwua, asiweze.
20 for Herod was fearing John, knowing him a man righteous and holy, and was keeping watch over him, and having heard him, was doing many things, and hearing him gladly.
Herode alimwogopa Yohane kwa maana alijua kwamba yeye ni mtu mwema na mtakatifu, na hivyo akamlinda. Herode alipenda kumsikiliza Yohane, ingawaje baada ya kumsikiliza, alifadhaika sana.
21 And a seasonable day having come, when Herod on his birthday was making a supper to his great men, and to the chiefs of thousands, and to the first men of Galilee,
Ikapatikana nafasi, wakati wa sikukuu ya kuzaliwa kwake Herode. Herode aliwafanyia karamu wazee wa baraza lake, majemadari na viongozi wa Galilaya.
22 and the daughter of that Herodias having come in, and having danced, and having pleased Herod and those reclining (at meat) with him, the king said to the damsel, 'Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give to thee,'
Basi, binti yake Herodia aliingia, akacheza, akawafurahisha sana Herode na wageni wake. Mfalme akamwambia huyo msichana, “Niombe chochote utakacho, nami nitakupa.”
23 and he sware to her — 'Whatever thou mayest ask me, I will give to thee — unto the half of my kingdom.'
Tena akamwapia, “Chochote utakachoniomba, nitakupa: hata ikiwa ni nusu ya ufalme wangu.”
24 And she, having gone forth, said to her mother, 'What shall I ask for myself?' and she said, 'The head of John the Baptist;'
Hapo huyo msichana akatoka, akamwuliza mama yake, “Niombe nini?” Naye akamjibu, “Kichwa cha Yohane mbatizaji.”
25 and having come in immediately with haste unto the king, she asked, saying, 'I will that thou mayest give me presently, upon a plate, the head of John the Baptist.'
Msichana akamrudia mfalme mbio akamwomba, “Nataka unipe sasa hivi katika sinia kichwa cha Yohane mbatizaji.”
26 And the king — made very sorrowful — because of the oaths and of those reclining (at meat) with him, would not put her away,
Mfalme akahuzunika sana, lakini kwa sababu ya kiapo chake, na kwa ajili ya wale wageni wake karamuni, hakutaka kumkatalia.
27 and immediately the king having sent a guardsman, did command his head to be brought,
Basi, mfalme akamwamuru askari kukileta kichwa cha Yohane. Askari akaenda, akamkata kichwa Yohane mle gerezani,
28 and he having gone, beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head upon a plate, and did give it to the damsel, and the damsel did give it to her mother;
akakileta katika sinia, akampa msichana naye msichana akampa mama yake.
29 and having heard, his disciples came and took up his corpse, and laid it in the tomb.
Wanafunzi wa Yohane walipopata habari, walikwenda wakachukua mwili wake, wakauzika kaburini.
30 And the apostles are gathered together unto Jesus, and they told him all, and how many things they did, and how many things they taught,
Wale mitume walirudi, wakakusanyika mbele ya Yesu wakamwarifu yote waliyotenda na kufundisha.
31 and he said to them, 'Come ye yourselves apart to a desert place, and rest a little,' for those coming and those going were many, and not even to eat had they opportunity,
Alisema hivyo kwa kuwa kulikuwa na watu wengi mno walikuwa wanafika hapo na kuondoka hata Yesu na wanafunzi wake hawakuweza kupata nafasi ya kula chakula. Basi, Yesu akawaambia, “Twendeni peke yetu mahali pa faragha kula chakula, mkapumzike kidogo.”
32 and they went away to a desert place, in the boat, by themselves.
Basi, Wakaondoka peke yao kwa mashua, wakaenda mahali pa faragha.
33 And the multitudes saw them going away, and many recognised him, and by land from all the cities they ran thither, and went before them, and came together to him,
Lakini watu wengi waliwaona wakienda, wakawatambua. Hivyo wengi wakatoka katika kila mji, wakakimbilia huko Yesu na wanafunzi wake walikokuwa wanakwenda, wakawatangulia kufika.
34 and having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion on them, that they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach many things.
Waliposhuka pwani, Yesu aliona umati mkubwa wa watu, akawahurumia, kwa sababu walikuwa kama kondoo wasio na mchungaji. Akaanza kuwafundisha mambo mengi.
35 And now the hour being advanced, his disciples having come near to him, say, — 'The place is desolate, and the hour is now advanced,
Saa za mchana zilikwisha pita. Basi, wanafunzi wakamwendea Yesu, wakamwambia, “Hapa ni nyikani, na sasa kunakuchwa.
36 let them away, that, having gone away to the surrounding fields and villages, they may buy to themselves loaves, for what they may eat they have not.'
Afadhali uwaage watu waende mashambani na katika vijiji vya jirani, wanunue chakula.”
37 And he answering said to them, 'Give ye them to eat,' and they say to him, 'Having gone away, may we buy two hundred denaries' worth of loaves, and give to them to eat?'
Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Wapeni ninyi chakula.” Nao wakamwuliza, “Je, twende kununua mikate kwa fedha dinari mia mbili, na kuwapa chakula?”
38 And he saith to them, 'How many loaves have ye? go and see;' and having known, they say, 'Five, and two fishes.'
Yesu akawauliza, “Mnayo mikate mingapi? Nendeni mkatazame.” Walipokwisha tazama, wakamwambia, “Kuna mikate mitano na samaki wawili.”
39 And he commanded them to make all recline in companies upon the green grass,
Basi, Yesu akawaamuru wanafunzi wawaketishe watu wote makundimakundi penye nyasi.
40 and they sat down in squares, by hundreds, and by fifties.
Nao wakaketi makundimakundi ya watu mia moja na ya watu hamsini.
41 And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves, and was giving to his disciples, that they may set before them, and the two fishes divided he to all,
Kisha Yesu akaitwaa ile mikate mitano na wale samaki wawili, akatazama juu mbinguni, akamshukuru Mungu, akaimega mikate, akawapa wanafunzi wake wawagawie watu. Na wale samaki wawili pia akawagawia wote.
42 and they did all eat, and were filled,
Watu wote wakala, wakashiba.
43 and they took up of broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full, and of the fishes,
Wakaokota mabaki ya mikate na samaki pia, wakajaza vikapu kumi na viwili.
44 and those eating of the loaves were about five thousand men.
Nao waliokula hiyo mikate walikuwa wanaume elfu tano.
45 And immediately he constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before to the other side, unto Bethsaida, till he may let the multitude away,
Mara Yesu akawaamuru wanafunzi wake wapande mashua, wamtangulie kwenda Bethsaida, ng'ambo ya ziwa, wakati yeye anauaga umati wa watu.
46 and having taken leave of them, he went away to the mountain to pray.
Baada ya kuwaaga watu alikwenda mlimani kusali.
47 And evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon the land;
Ilipokuwa jioni, mashua ilikuwa katikati ya ziwa, naye alikuwa peke yake katika nchi kavu.
48 and he saw them harassed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, and about the fourth watch of the night he doth come to them walking on the sea, and wished to pass by them.
Basi, akawaona wanafunzi wake wakitaabika kwa kupiga makasia, maana upepo ulikuwa unawapinga. Karibu na mapambazuko, Yesu aliwaendea akitembea juu ya maji. Alitaka kuwapita.
49 And they having seen him walking on the sea, thought [it] to be an apparition, and cried out,
Lakini walimwona akitembea juu ya maji, wakadhani ni mzimu, wakapiga yowe.
50 for they all saw him, and were troubled, and immediately he spake with them, and saith to them, 'Take courage, I am [he], be not afraid.'
Maana wote walipomwona waliogopa sana. Mara Yesu akasema nao, “Tulieni, ni mimi. Msiogope!”
51 And he went up unto them to the boat, and the wind lulled, and greatly out of measure were they amazed in themselves, and were wondering,
Kisha akapanda mashuani walimokuwa, na upepo ukatulia. Nao wakashangaa sana.
52 for they understood not concerning the loaves, for their heart hath been hard.
maana hawakuwa bado wameelewa maana ya ile mikate. Akili zao zilikuwa bado zimepumbazika.
53 And having passed over, they came upon the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore,
Walivuka ziwa, wakafika nchi ya Genesareti, wakatia nanga.
54 and they having come forth out of the boat, immediately having recognised him,
Walipotoka mashuani, mara watu wakamtambua Yesu.
55 having run about through all that region round about, they began upon the couches to carry about those ill, where they were hearing that he is,
Basi, kwa haraka wakazunguka katika nchi ile yote, wakaanza kuwachukua wagonjwa wamelala juu ya mikeka yao, wakawapeleka kila mahali waliposikia Yesu yupo.
56 and wherever he was going, to villages, or cities, or fields, in the market-places they were laying the infirm, and were calling upon him, that they may touch if it were but the fringe of his garment, and as many as were touching him were saved.
Kila mahali Yesu alipokwenda, vijijini, mijini, au mashambani, watu waliwaweka wagonjwa uwanjani, wakamsihi waguse walau pindo la vazi lake. Nao wote waliomgusa walipona.
