Mark 1
1 A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God.
Huu ni 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 na nabii Isaya, “Tazama, ninamtuma mjumbe wangu mbele yako, mmoja atakayetayarisha njia 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 aitaye nyikani, “Ikamilisheni njia ya Bwana; zinyosheni njia zake”.
4 John came baptizing in the wilderness, and proclaiming a baptism of reformation — to remission of sins,
Yohana alikuja, akibatiza nyikani na kuhubiri ubatizo wa toba kwa 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.
Nchi yote ya Yudea na watu wote wa Yerusalemu walikwenda kwake. Walikuwa wakibatizwa naye katika mto Yordani, wakiungama dhambi zao.
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 alikuwa anavaa vazi la manyoya ya ngamia na mkanda wa ngozi kiunoni mwake, na alikuwa anakula nzige na asali ya porini.
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;
Alihubiri na kusema, “Yupo mmoja anakuja baada yangu mwenye nguvu zaidi kuliko mimi, na sina hadhi hata ya kuinama chini na kufungua kamba za viatu vyake.
8 I indeed did baptize you with water, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.'
Mimi niliwabatiza kwa maji, lakini yeye atawabatiza ninyi 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;
Ilitokea katika siku hizo kwamba Yesu alikuja kutoka Nazareti ya Galilaya, na alibatizwa 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;
Wakati Yesu alipoinuka kutoka majini, aliona mbingu zimegawanyika wazi na Roho akishuka chini juu yake kama njiwa.
11 and a voice came out of the heavens, 'Thou art My Son — the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'
Na sauti ilitoka mbinguni, “Wewe ni Mwanangu mpendwa. Ninapendezwa sana na wewe.”
12 And immediately doth the Spirit put him forth to the wilderness,
Kisha mara moja Roho akamlazimisha 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.
Alikuwako nyikani siku arobaini, akijaribiwa na Shetani. Alikuwa pamoja na wanyama wa mwituni, na malaika walimhudumia.
14 And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the reign of God,
Sasa baada ya Yohana kukamatwa, Yesu alikuja Galilaya akitangaza injili 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, “Muda umetimia, na ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia. Tubuni na kuamini katika injili”.
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,
Na akipita kando ya bahari ya Galilaya, alimwona Simoni na Andrea ndugu wa Simoni wakitupa nyavu zao katika bahari, kwa kuwa walikuwa wavuvi.
17 and Jesus said to them, 'Come ye after me, and I shall make you to become fishers of men;'
Yesu aliwaambia, “Njoni, nifuateni, na nitawafanya wavuvi wa watu.”
18 and immediately, having left their nets, they followed him.
Na mara moja waliacha nyavu na 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,
Wakati Yesu alipotembea umbali kidogo, alimwona Yakobo mwana wa Zebedayo na Yohana ndugu yake; walikuwa kwenye mtumbwi wakitengeneza nyavu.
20 and immediately he called them, and, having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after him.
Mara aliwaita na wao walimwacha baba yao Zebedayo ndani ya mtumbwi na watumishi waliokodiwa, wakamfuata.
21 And they go on to Capernaum, and immediately, on the sabbaths, having gone into the synagogue, he was teaching,
Na walipofika Kaperinaumu, siku ya Sabato, Yesu aliingia kwenye sinagogi na kufundisha.
22 and they were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
Walilishangaa fundisho lake, kwa vile alikuwa akiwafundisha kama mtu ambaye ana mamlaka na siyo kama waandishi.
23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
Wakati huo huo kulikuwa na mtu katika sinagogi lao aliyekuwa na roho mchafu, na alipiga kelele,
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.'
akisema, “Tuna nini cha kufanya na wewe, Yesu wa Nazareti? Umekuja kutuangamiza? Nakujua u nani. Wewe ni Mtakatifu pekee wa Mungu!”
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, 'Be silenced, and come forth out of him,'
Yesu alimkemea pepo na kusema, “Nyamaza na utoke ndani yake!”
26 and the unclean spirit having torn him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him,
Na roho mchafu alimwangusha chini na akatoka kwake wakati akilia kwa sauti ya juu.
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!'
Na watu wote walishangaa, hivyo wakaulizana kila mmoja, “Hii ni nini? Fundisho jipya lenye mamlaka? Hata huamuru pepo wachafu nao wanamtii!”
28 And the fame of him went forth immediately to all the region, round about, of Galilee.
Na habari kuhusu yeye mara moja zikasambaa kila mahali ndani ya mkoa wote wa Galilaya.
29 And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John,
Na mara moja baada ya kutoka nje ya sinagogi, waliingia nyumbani mwa Simoni na Andrea wakiwa na Yakobo na Yohana.
30 and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell him about her,
Sasa mama mkwe wa Simoni alikuwa amelala mgonjwa wa homa, na mara moja walimwambia 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 alikuja, alimshika kwa mkono, na kumwinua juu; homa ikaondoka kwake, na 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 hiyo wakati jua limekwisha zama, walimletea kwake wote waliokuwa wagonjwa, au waliopagawa na pepo.
33 and the whole city was gathered together near the door,
Mji wote walikusanyika pamoja katika mlango.
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.
Aliwaponya wengi waliokuwa wagonjwa wa magonjwa mbalimbali na kutoa pepo wengi, bali hakuruhusu pepo kuongea kwa sababu walimjua.
35 And very early, it being yet night, having risen, he went forth, and went away to a desert place, and was there praying;
Aliamka asubuhi na mapema, wakati ilikuwa bado giza; aliondoka na kwenda mahali pa faragha na aliomba huko.
36 and Simon and those with him went in quest of him,
Simoni na wote waliokuwa pamoja naye walimtafuta.
37 and having found him, they say to him, — 'All do seek thee;'
Walimpata na wakamwambia, “Kila mmoja 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.'
Aliwaambia, “Twendeni mahali pengine, nje katika miji inayozunguka, ili niweze kuhubiri huko pia. Ndiyo sababu nilikuja hapa.”
39 And he was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons,
Alikwenda akipita Galilaya yote, akihubiri katika masinagogi yao na kukemea pepo.
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.'
Mwenye ukoma mmoja alikuja kwake. Alikuwa akimsihi; alipiga magoti na alimwambia, “Kama unataka, waweza kunifanya niwe safi.”
41 And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him, and saith to him, 'I will; be thou cleansed;'
Akisukumwa na huruma, Yesu alinyosha mkono wake na kumgusa, akimwambia, “Ninataka. Uwe msafi.”
42 and he having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.
Mara moja ukoma ukamtoka, na alifanywa kuwa safi.
43 And having sternly charged him, immediately he put him forth,
Yesu akamwonya vikali na akamwambia aende mara moja,
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.'
Alimwambia, “Hakikisha hausemi neno kwa yeyote, lakini nenda, ujionyeshe kwa kuhani, na utoe dhabihu kwa ajili ya utakaso ambayo Musa aliagiza, kama 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 alikwenda na kuanza kumwambia kila mmoja na kueneza neno zaidi hata Yesu hakuweza tena kuingia mjini kwa uhuru. Hivyo alikaa mahali pa faragha na watu walikuja kwake kutoka kila mahali.
