Markus 8
1 A kwanakin nan, akwai wani gagaruman taron mutane, kuma basu da abincin ci. Yesu ya kirawo almajiransa yace masu,
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 tausayin taron mutanen nan domin kwana uku kenan suna nan tare da ni babu abinci.
“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 Idan na salame su su koma gidajensu ba tare da sun ci abinci ba, za su galabaita a hanya domin gidajensu na da nisa.”
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 masa cewa, “A ina za mu iya samu gurasa a wannan jeji da zai ishi wadannan mutane haka?”
[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 Ya tambaye su, “gurasa nawa kuke da su?” Sai suka ce, “Bakwai.”
Jesus asked them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” They replied, “[We have] seven [flat loaves].”
6 Ya umarci mutanen da su zauna. Ya dauki gurasar bakwai, bayan da ya yi godiya, ya kakarya gurasar, sa'annan ya umarci almajiransa da su raba wa mutanen. Su kuwa suka raba masu.
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 kananan kifaye kadan. Bayan da ya yi godiya akan su, ya umurci almajiran su rabawa mutanen.
[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 Sun ci sun koshi. Suka tattara ragowar, har sun cika 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 Akwai maza kimanin dubu hudu a wurin. Yesu ya sallame su.
[They estimated that] there were about 4,000 people [who ate on that day].
10 Nan take, ya shiga jirgin ruwa da almajiransa zuwa shiyyar 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 Sai Farisawa suka zo suka fara gardama da shi. Suna nema ya nuna masu alama daga sama, domin su gwada shi.
[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 Ya ja numfashi a ruhunsa yana cewa, “Don me wannan tsarar tana neman alama. Hakika ina gaya maku, babu wata alama da za a ba wannan tsarar.”
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 sake shiga jirgin zuwa hayin tafkin.
Then he left them. He got into the boat again, along [with his disciples], and they went further around [Lake Galilee].
14 A lokacin nan, almajiransa sun manta su dauki gurasa. Domin gurasa daya ce tak a garesu 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 Ya gargade su, “ku yi hattara da yisti na Farisawa da Yisti na Hirudus.”
[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 Almajiran suka fara tattaunawa a tsakaninsu, “Saboda ba mu da gurasa ne.”
[The disciples misunderstood him]. So they said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we have no bread.”
17 Yesu yana sane da wannan, sa'annan ya ce masu, “Don me kuke tattaunawa akan rashin gurasa? Har yanzu baku gane ba? Har yanzu ba ku da sane? Ko zuciyar ku ta duhunta 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, ba ku gani? Kuna da kunnuwa, ba ku 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 gurasar a cikin mutane dubu biyar, kwanduna nawa kuka samu ragowa? Suka ce masa, “Goma 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 Kuma da na kakarya gurasa bakwai a cikin mutane dubu hudu, kwanduna nawa kuka dauka cike da ragowar? Suka ce masa, “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 masu, “har yanzu baku gane 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 Sun zo Baitsaida. Mutanen wurin suka kawo masa wani makaho, sai suka roke shi ya taba 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 rike hanun makahon, ya jagorance shi zuwa bayan kauyen. Da ya tofa yawunsa a idon mutumin, kuma ya dora hanunsa akan mutumin, sai ya tambaye shi “kana ganin wani abu kuwa?”
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 Ya daga ido sai ya ce, “ina ganin mutane na tafiya kamar itatuwa.”
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 Ya sake dora masa hannu a idanuwansa, mutumin ya bude idanuwansa, sai ya fara ganin gari da kyau.
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 zuwa gidansa nan take, ya ce masa, “kada ka shiga cikin garin”
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 sun shiga kauyukan kaisariya ta Filibi. Da suke kan hanya, sai ya tambaye su, “Shin wanene mutane ke 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 masa suka ce, Yahaya mai Baftisma. Wasu suka ce, “Iliya”. wadansu kuma, 'Daya daga cikin anabawa”.
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 Ya tambaye su, “Amma me ku ke ce da ni?” Bitrus ya ce, “Kai ne Almasihu.”
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 umarce su kada su gaya wa kowa game da shi.
Then Jesus warned them strongly that they should not tell anyone [yet that he was the Messiah].
31 Sai ya fara koya masu cewa, dole ne Dan Mutum ya sha wahala, dattawa da marubuta da manyan Firistoci zasu ki shi, a kuma kashe shi. Bayan kwana uku, zai tashi daga matattu.
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 fadi wannan afili. Sai Birus ya ja shi gefe ya fara tsauta 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 Yesu ya juya ya dubi almajiransa sa'annan ya tsautawa Bitrus yana cewa, “Ka koma bayana Shaidan, domin kana kula da abubuwan mutane ne kawai, ba na Allah ba.”
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 jama'ar da almajiransa a wuri daya, ya ce masu, “Duk wanda yake so ya bini, dole ne ya musunci kansa, ya dauki giciyensa ya biyo 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 wanda yake so ya ceci ransa zai rasa shi, amma duk wadda ya rasa ransa domina da kuma bishara zai cece 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 zai amfani mutum idan ya sami dukan duniya sannan ya rasa 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 Me mutum zai bayar amaimakon 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 ke jin kunyata ko maganata a wannan mazinaciyar tsara mai zunubi, Dan Mutum ma zai ji kunyarsa a lokacin da ya dawo cikin daukakar Ubansa da Malaiku masu tsarki.”
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!”
