Mark 1
1 A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God.
Mwanzo wa Injili ya Yesu Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu.
2 As it hath been written in the prophets, 'Lo, I send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee,' —
Kama ilivyoandikwa katika kitabu cha nabii Isaya: “Tazama, nitamtuma mjumbe wangu mbele yako, atakayetengeneza njia mbele yako”:
3 'A voice of one calling in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye his paths,' —
“sauti ya mtu aliaye nyikani. ‘Itengenezeni njia ya Bwana, yanyoosheni mapito yake.’”
4 John came baptizing in the wilderness, and proclaiming a baptism of reformation — to remission of sins,
Yohana alikuja, akibatiza huko nyikani, akihubiri ubatizo wa toba kwa ajili ya msamaha wa dhambi.
5 and there were going forth to him all the region of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and they were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
Watu kutoka Uyahudi wote na sehemu zote za Yerusalemu walikuwa wakimwendea. Nao wakaziungama dhambi zao, akawabatiza katika Mto Yordani.
6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and a girdle of skin around his loins, and eating locusts and honey of the field,
Yohana alivaa mavazi yaliyotengenezwa kwa singa za ngamia na mkanda wa ngozi kiunoni mwake. Chakula chake kilikuwa nzige na asali ya mwitu.
7 and he proclaimed, saying, 'He doth come — who is mightier than I — after me, of whom I am not worthy — having stooped down — to loose the latchet of his sandals;
Naye alihubiri akisema, “Baada yangu atakuja yeye aliye na uwezo kuniliko mimi, ambaye sistahili hata kuinama na kulegeza kamba za viatu vyake.
8 I indeed did baptize you with water, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.'
Mimi nawabatiza kwa maji, lakini yeye atawabatiza kwa Roho Mtakatifu.”
9 And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John at the Jordan;
Wakati huo Yesu akaja kutoka Nazareti ya Galilaya, naye akabatizwa na Yohana katika Mto Yordani.
10 and immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit as a dove coming down upon him;
Yesu alipokuwa akitoka ndani ya maji, aliona mbingu zikifunguka na Roho akishuka juu yake kama hua.
11 and a voice came out of the heavens, 'Thou art My Son — the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'
Nayo sauti kutoka mbinguni ikasema, “Wewe ni Mwanangu mpendwa; nami nimependezwa nawe sana.”
12 And immediately doth the Spirit put him forth to the wilderness,
Wakati huo huo, Roho akamwongoza Yesu kwenda nyikani,
13 and he was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by the Adversary, and he was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to him.
naye akawa huko nyikani kwa muda wa siku arobaini, akijaribiwa na Shetani. Alikaa na wanyama wa mwituni, nao malaika wakamhudumia.
14 And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the reign of God,
Baada ya Yohana kukamatwa na kutiwa gerezani, Yesu aliingia Galilaya akaanza kuhubiri habari njema ya Mungu,
15 and saying — 'Fulfilled hath been the time, and the reign of God hath come nigh, reform ye, and believe in the good news.'
akisema, “Wakati umewadia, Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia. Tubuni na kuiamini Habari Njema.”
16 And, walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers,
Yesu alipokuwa akitembea kando ya Bahari ya Galilaya, aliwaona Simoni na Andrea nduguye wakizitupa nyavu zao baharini, kwa kuwa wao walikuwa wavuvi.
17 and Jesus said to them, 'Come ye after me, and I shall make you to become fishers of men;'
Yesu akawaambia, “Njooni, nifuateni nami nitawafanya mwe wavuvi wa watu.”
18 and immediately, having left their nets, they followed him.
Mara wakaacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata.
19 And having gone on thence a little, he saw James of Zebedee, and John his brother, and they were in the boat refitting the nets,
Alipokwenda mbele kidogo, akamwona Yakobo mwana wa Zebedayo na Yohana nduguye, wakiwa kwenye mashua yao wakizitengeneza nyavu zao.
20 and immediately he called them, and, having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after him.
Papo hapo akawaita, nao wakamwacha Zebedayo baba yao kwenye mashua pamoja na watumishi wa kuajiriwa, nao wakamfuata Yesu.
21 And they go on to Capernaum, and immediately, on the sabbaths, having gone into the synagogue, he was teaching,
Wakaenda mpaka Kapernaumu. Ilipofika siku ya Sabato, mara Yesu akaingia sinagogi, akaanza kufundisha.
22 and they were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
Watu wakashangaa sana kwa mafundisho yake, kwa maana aliwafundisha kama yeye aliye na mamlaka, wala si kama walimu wa sheria.
23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
Wakati huo huo katika sinagogi lao palikuwa na mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo mchafu,
24 saying, 'Away! what — to us and to thee, Jesus the Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art — the Holy One of God.'
naye akapiga kelele akisema, “Tuna nini nawe, Yesu wa Nazareti? Je, umekuja kutuangamiza? Ninakujua wewe ni nani. Wewe ndiwe Aliye Mtakatifu wa Mungu!”
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, 'Be silenced, and come forth out of him,'
Lakini Yesu akamkemea, akamwambia, “Nyamaza kimya! Nawe umtoke!”
26 and the unclean spirit having torn him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him,
Yule pepo mchafu akamtikisatikisa huyo mtu kwa nguvu, kisha akamtoka akipiga kelele kwa sauti kubwa.
27 and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, 'What is this? what new teaching [is] this? that with authority also the unclean spirits he commandeth, and they obey him!'
Watu wote wakashangaa, hata wakaulizana wao kwa wao, “Haya ni mambo gani? Ni mafundisho mapya, tena yenye mamlaka! Anaamuru hata pepo wachafu, nao wanamtii!”
28 And the fame of him went forth immediately to all the region, round about, of Galilee.
Sifa zake zikaanza kuenea haraka katika eneo lote la karibu na Galilaya.
29 And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John,
Mara walipotoka katika sinagogi, walikwenda pamoja na Yakobo na Yohana hadi nyumbani kwa Simoni na Andrea.
30 and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell him about her,
Mama mkwe wa Simoni alikuwa kitandani, ana homa, nao wakamweleza Yesu habari zake.
31 and having come near, he raised her up, having laid hold of her hand, and the fever left her immediately, and she was ministering to them.
Hivyo Yesu akamwendea, akamshika mkono na kumwinua. Kisha homa ikamwacha, naye akaanza kuwahudumia.
32 And evening having come, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all who were ill, and who were demoniacs,
Jioni ile baada ya jua kutua, watu wakamletea Yesu wagonjwa wote na waliopagawa na pepo wachafu.
33 and the whole city was gathered together near the door,
Mji wote ukakusanyika mbele ya nyumba hiyo.
34 and he healed many who were ill of manifold diseases, and many demons he cast forth, and was not suffering the demons to speak, because they knew him.
Yesu akawaponya watu wengi waliokuwa na magonjwa ya aina mbalimbali. Akawatoa pepo wachafu wengi, lakini hakuwaacha hao pepo wachafu waseme, kwa sababu walimjua yeye ni nani.
35 And very early, it being yet night, having risen, he went forth, and went away to a desert place, and was there praying;
Alfajiri na mapema sana kulipokuwa bado kuna giza, Yesu akaamka, akaondoka, akaenda mahali pa faragha ili kuomba.
36 and Simon and those with him went in quest of him,
Simoni na wenzake wakaenda kumtafuta,
37 and having found him, they say to him, — 'All do seek thee;'
nao walipomwona, wakamwambia, “Kila mtu anakutafuta!”
38 and he saith to them, 'We may go to the next towns, that there also I may preach, for for this I came forth.'
Yesu akawajibu, “Twendeni mahali pengine kwenye vijiji jirani, ili niweze kuhubiri huko pia, kwa sababu hicho ndicho nilichokuja kukifanya.”
39 And he was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons,
Kwa hiyo akazunguka Galilaya kote, akihubiri katika masinagogi yao na kutoa pepo wachafu.
40 and there doth come to him a leper, calling on him, and kneeling to him, and saying to him — 'If thou mayest will, thou art able to cleanse me.'
Mtu mmoja mwenye ukoma alimjia Yesu, akamwomba akipiga magoti, akamwambia, “Ukitaka, waweza kunitakasa.”
41 And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him, and saith to him, 'I will; be thou cleansed;'
Yesu, akiwa amejawa na huruma, akanyoosha mkono wake akamgusa, akamwambia, “Nataka. Takasika!”
42 and he having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.
Mara ukoma ukamtoka, naye akatakasika.
43 And having sternly charged him, immediately he put him forth,
Baada ya Yesu kumwonya vikali, akamruhusu aende zake
44 and saith to him, 'See thou mayest say nothing to any one, but go away, thyself shew to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing the things Moses directed, for a testimony to them.'
akimwambia, “Hakikisha humwambii mtu yeyote habari hizi, bali nenda ukajionyeshe kwa kuhani, na ukatoe sadaka alizoagiza Mose kwa utakaso wako, ili kuwa ushuhuda kwao.”
45 And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread abroad the thing, so that no more he was able openly to enter into the city, but he was without in desert places, and they were coming unto him from every quarter.
Lakini yule mtu akaenda akaanza kutangaza habari za kuponywa kwake waziwazi. Kwa hiyo, Yesu hakuweza tena kuingia katika miji waziwazi lakini alikaa sehemu zisizo na watu. Hata hivyo watu wakamfuata huko kutoka kila upande.
