Markus 8
1 A kwanakin nan wani taro mai girma ya taru. Tun da yake ba su da abin da za su ci, sai Yesu ya kira almajiransa ya ce,
During those days, a large crowd of people gathered again. [After they had been there a couple days], they had no food to eat. So Jesus summoned the disciples [to come closer] and then he said to them,
2 “Ina jin tausayin mutanen nan, kwanansu uku ke nan tare da ni, kuma ba su da abin da za su ci.
“This is the third day that these people have been with me, and they have nothing [left] to eat, so now I feel very sorry for them.
3 In na sallame su gida da yunwa, za su kāsa a hanya, don waɗansu daga cikinsu sun zo daga nesa.”
Furthermore, if I send them home [while they are still] hungry, [some of] them will faint on the way home, because some of them have come from far away.”
4 Almajiransa suka amsa suka ce, “Amma a ina, a wannan wurin da ba kowa, wani zai iya samun isashen burodi, don a ciyar da su?”
[Knowing that he was suggesting that they give the people something to eat, one of] his disciples replied, “(We cannot possibly find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live!/How can we find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live?)” [RHQ]
5 Sai Yesu ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Burodi guda nawa kuke da su?” Suka ce, “Bakwai.”
Jesus asked them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” They replied, “[We have] seven [flat loaves].”
6 Sai ya gaya wa taron su zazzauna a ƙasa. Bayan ya ɗauki burodin nan bakwai, ya yi godiya, sai ya kakkarya, ya ba wa almajiransa su rarraba wa mutanen, suka kuwa yi haka.
Jesus commanded the crowd, “Sit down on the ground!” [After they sat down], he took the seven loaves, he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces] and started giving them to his disciples in order that they might distribute them [to the people].
7 Suna kuma da ƙananan kifaye kaɗan, ya ba da godiya dominsu, ya kuma ce wa almajiran su rarraba musu.
[They found that] they [also] had a few small [dried] fish. So after he thanked God for these, he told the disciples, “Distribute these also.” [After they distributed the bread and fish to the crowd],
8 Mutanen suka ci, suka ƙoshi. Daga baya, almajiran suka tattara gutsattsarin da suka rage cike da kwanduna bakwai.
the people ate this food and they had plenty [to] satisfy [them]. [The disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over. [They filled] seven large baskets full of those pieces.
9 Wajen maza dubu huɗu ne suka kasance. Da ya sallame su,
[They estimated that] there were about 4,000 people [who ate on that day].
10 sai ya shiga jirgin ruwa tare da almajiransa, suka tafi yankin Dalmanuta.
Then Jesus dismissed the crowd. Immediately after that, he got into the boat along with his disciples, and they went [around Lake Galilee] to Dalmanutha district.
11 Farisiyawa suka zo suka fara yin wa Yesu tambayoyi. Don su gwada shi, sai suka nemi yă nuna musu wata alama daga sama.
[In those days some] Pharisees came to Jesus. They asked him [to perform] a miracle [that would show that] God [had sent him]. They wanted to [find a way by which they could] convince the people to reject him. [So] they started to argue with him.
12 Sai ya ja numfashi mai zurfi ya ce, “Don me wannan zamani yake neman ganin abin banmamaki? Gaskiya nake gaya muku, ba wata alamar da za a ba su.”
Jesus sighed quietly to himself, and then he said, “I am disgusted that [RHQ], [even though] you people have seen how I [have healed people], you keep asking me to perform miracles! Note this: Such a miracle will certainly not be shown {I will certainly not show such a miracle} [just] for you people!”
13 Sai ya bar su, ya koma cikin jirgin ruwan, suka ƙetare zuwa ɗaya hayin.
Then he left them. He got into the boat again, along [with his disciples], and they went further around [Lake Galilee].
14 Almajiran suka manta su riƙe burodi, sai dai guda ɗaya da suke da shi a cikin jirgin ruwan.
The disciples had forgotten to bring along [enough] food. Specifically, they had only one flat loaf of bread with them in the boat.
15 Yesu ya gargaɗe su ya ce, “Ku yi hankali, ku kuma lura da yistin Farisiyawa da na Hiridus.”
[As they were going], Jesus warned them against [the attitudes the Pharisees and Herod Antipas had, attitudes that were having a bad effect on other people. He did this by telling them a parable]. He said, “Be careful! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!”
16 Suka tattauna wannan da juna, suna cewa, “Don ba mu da burodi ne.”
[The disciples misunderstood him]. So they said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we have no bread.”
17 Da ya gane abin da suke tattaunawa, sai Yesu ya tambaye su ya ce, “Don me kuke zancen rashin burodi? Har yanzu ba ku gane ko fahimta ba? Zukatanku sun taurare ne?
Jesus knew [what they were discussing among themselves]. So he said to them, “([I am disappointed that you are] discussing about your not having enough bread!/Why are you discussing about your not having enough bread?) [RHQ] (You should understand by now [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food!/Why do you not yet perceive or understand that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] (You are not thinking!/Why are you not thinking?) [RHQ]
18 Kuna da idanu, amma kun kāsa gani, kuna da kunnuwa, amma kun kāsa ji? Ba ku tuna ba?
(I am also disappointed that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see!/Why is it that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see?) [RHQ] You have ears, but you do not understand [what I say] [RHQ]!” [Then he asked], “Do you not remember [what happened]
19 Da na kakkarya burodi guda biyar wa mutane dubu biyar, kwanduna nawa kuka kwashe cike da gutsattsarin?” Suka amsa, “Sha biyu.”
when I broke [only] five loaves [and fed] the 5.000 people [RHQ]? [Not only was everyone satisfied, but there was food left over] How many baskets full of pieces of bread [that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “We collected twelve baskets full.”
20 “Da na kuma kakkarya burodin nan bakwai wa mutum dubu huɗu, kwanduna nawa kuka kwashe cike da gutsattsarin?” Suka ce, “Bakwai.”
Then he asked, “When I broke the seven loaves in order to [feed] the 4,000 people, [again when everyone had plenty to eat], how many large baskets [of pieces of bread that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “[We collected] seven [large baskets full].”
21 Ya ce musu, “Har yanzu ba ku fahimta ba?”
Then he kept saying to them, “([I am disappointed that] you do not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]!/Why do you not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]?)” [RHQ]
22 Suka iso Betsaida, sai waɗansu mutane suka kawo wani makaho, suka roƙi Yesu yă taɓa shi.
They arrived [in the boat] at Bethsaida [town]. People brought to Jesus a blind man and earnestly requested that Jesus touch him [in order to heal him].
23 Yesu ya kama hannun makahon ya kai shi bayan ƙauyen. Bayan ya tofa miyau a idanun mutumin, ya kuma ɗibiya masa hannuwansa, sai ya tambaye shi ya ce, “Kana iya ganin wani abu?”
Jesus took the hand of the blind man, led him outside the town, he put his saliva on the man’s eyes, he put his hands on the man, and then he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
24 Sai ya ɗaga kai ya ce, “Ina ganin mutane, suna kama da itatuwa da suke tafiya.”
The man looked up and then he said, “[Yes], I see people! They are walking around, but I cannot see them [clearly]. They look like trees!”
25 Yesu ya sāke ɗibiya hannuwansa a idanun mutumin, sai idanunsa suka buɗe, ya sami gani, ya kuma ga kome sarai.
Then Jesus again touched the eyes of the blind man. The man looked intently and at that moment he was completely healed! He could see everything clearly.
26 Yesu ya sallame shi gida ya ce, “Kada ka shiga cikin ƙauyen.”
Jesus said to him, “Do not go into the town! [First go straight home and tell the people there about what I did]!” Then he sent the man to his home.
27 Yesu da almajiransa suka tafi ƙauyukan da suke kewaye da Kaisariya Filibbi. A hanya ya tambaye su ya ce, “Wa, mutane suke ce da ni?”
Jesus and the disciples [left Bethsaida town and went to the villages near Caesarea Philippi town]. On the way he questioned them, “Who do people say that I [really] am?”
28 Suka amsa, suka ce, “Waɗansu suna cewa, Yohanna Mai Baftisma, waɗansu Iliya, waɗansu kuma har wa yau sun ce, ɗaya daga cikin annabawa.”
They replied, “[Some people say] that you are John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say [that you are the prophet] Elijah [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. And others say that you are one of the [other former] prophets [who has come back to life again].”
29 Sai ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Amma ku fa, wa kuke ce da ni?” Bitrus ya amsa ya ce, “Kai ne Kiristi.”
He asked them, “What about you? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied to him, “[We believe that] you are the Messiah!”
30 Yesu ya gargaɗe su kada su gaya wa kowa kome a kansa.
Then Jesus warned them strongly that they should not tell anyone [yet that he was the Messiah].
31 Sai ya fara koya musu cewa, dole Ɗan Mutum yă sha wahaloli da yawa, dattawa, manyan firistoci da malaman dokoki kuma su ƙi shi. Dole kuma a kashe shi, bayan kwana uku kuma, yă tashi.
Then Jesus began to teach them, “[Even though] I am the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws reject me}, and that I be killed {they kill me}. But on the third day [after I am killed I] will become alive again.”
32 Ya yi wannan zance a sarari. Sai Bitrus ya jawo shi gefe, ya fara tsawata masa.
He said this to them clearly. But Peter took Jesus aside and then, [because he assumed that the Messiah would never die], he started to rebuke Jesus [for talking about dying].
33 Amma da Yesu ya juya ya dubi almajiransa, sai ya tsawata wa Bitrus ya ce, “Tashi daga nan Shaiɗan! Ba ka da al’amuran Allah a zuciyarka, sai na mutane.”
Jesus turned around and looked at his disciples. Then he rebuked Peter, saying, “Stop thinking like that! Satan [is causing you to talk like that! Instead] of wanting what God wants [me to do, you are wanting] me to do [only] what [most] people [would want me to do].”
34 Sai ya kira taron wurinsa tare da almajiransa ya ce, “Duk wanda zai bi ni, dole yă ƙi kansa, yă ɗauki gicciyensa yă bi ni.
Then he summoned the crowd along with his disciples [so that they might listen to him]. He told them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want to do. Specifically, you must [be willing to allow people to hurt you and to disgrace you. That is what they do to criminals] who are forced to carry crosses [MET] [to the places where they will be crucified]. That is what anyone who wants to be my disciple must do.
35 Domin duk mai son ceton ransa zai rasa shi, amma duk wanda ya rasa ransa saboda ni, da kuma bishara, zai same shi.
[You must do that], because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] and [because of telling others my] good message will live [forever with me].
36 Me mutum zai amfana, in ya ribato duniya duka a bakin ransa?
People might get everything [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples!]/what will they gain if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples]?) [RHQ]
37 Ko kuma, me mutum zai bayar a musayar ransa?
([Think carefully about the fact that] there is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life!/Is there anything that a person can give [to God] in order to gain eternal life?) [RHQ]
38 Duk wanda ya ji kunyata, da na kalmomina a wannan zamani na fasikanci da zunubi, Ɗan Mutum ma zai ji kunyarsa lokacin da ya shiga cikin ɗaukakar Ubansa, tare da tsarkakan mala’iku.”
And think about this: Those who refuse [to say that they belong to] me and who reject what I say in these days when many people have turned away [from God] and are very sinful, I, the one who came from heaven, will also refuse [to say that they belong to me] when I come back with the holy angels and have the glorious brightness that my Father has!”
