Marko 1
1 Mwanzo wa Injili ya Yesu Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu.
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 Kama ilivyoandikwa katika kitabu cha nabii Isaya: “Tazama, nitamtuma mjumbe wangu mbele yako, atakayetengeneza njia mbele yako”:
Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way;
3 “sauti ya mtu aliaye nyikani. ‘Itengenezeni njia ya Bwana, yanyoosheni mapito yake.’”
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight;
4 Yohana alikuja, akibatiza huko nyikani, akihubiri ubatizo wa toba kwa ajili ya msamaha wa dhambi.
John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins.
5 Watu kutoka Uyahudi wote na sehemu zote za Yerusalemu walikuwa wakimwendea. Nao wakaziungama dhambi zao, akawabatiza katika Mto Yordani.
And there went out unto him all the country of Judæa, and all they of Jerusalem; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 Yohana alivaa mavazi yaliyotengenezwa kwa singa za ngamia na mkanda wa ngozi kiunoni mwake. Chakula chake kilikuwa nzige na asali ya mwitu.
And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and [had] a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey.
7 Naye alihubiri akisema, “Baada yangu atakuja yeye aliye na uwezo kuniliko mimi, ambaye sistahili hata kuinama na kulegeza kamba za viatu vyake.
And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
8 Mimi nawabatiza kwa maji, lakini yeye atawabatiza kwa Roho Mtakatifu.”
I baptized you in water; but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit.
9 Wakati huo Yesu akaja kutoka Nazareti ya Galilaya, naye akabatizwa na Yohana katika Mto Yordani.
And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan.
10 Yesu alipokuwa akitoka ndani ya maji, aliona mbingu zikifunguka na Roho akishuka juu yake kama hua.
And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him:
11 Nayo sauti kutoka mbinguni ikasema, “Wewe ni Mwanangu mpendwa; nami nimependezwa nawe sana.”
and a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.
12 Wakati huo huo, Roho akamwongoza Yesu kwenda nyikani,
And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness.
13 naye akawa huko nyikani kwa muda wa siku arobaini, akijaribiwa na Shetani. Alikaa na wanyama wa mwituni, nao malaika wakamhudumia.
And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
14 Baada ya Yohana kukamatwa na kutiwa gerezani, Yesu aliingia Galilaya akaanza kuhubiri habari njema ya Mungu,
Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,
15 akisema, “Wakati umewadia, Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia. Tubuni na kuiamini Habari Njema.”
and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe in the gospel.
16 Yesu alipokuwa akitembea kando ya Bahari ya Galilaya, aliwaona Simoni na Andrea nduguye wakizitupa nyavu zao baharini, kwa kuwa wao walikuwa wavuvi.
And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishers.
17 Yesu akawaambia, “Njooni, nifuateni nami nitawafanya mwe wavuvi wa watu.”
And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18 Mara wakaacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata.
And straightway they left the nets, and followed him.
19 Alipokwenda mbele kidogo, akamwona Yakobo mwana wa Zebedayo na Yohana nduguye, wakiwa kwenye mashua yao wakizitengeneza nyavu zao.
And going on a little further, he saw James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets.
20 Papo hapo akawaita, nao wakamwacha Zebedayo baba yao kwenye mashua pamoja na watumishi wa kuajiriwa, nao wakamfuata Yesu.
And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
21 Wakaenda mpaka Kapernaumu. Ilipofika siku ya Sabato, mara Yesu akaingia sinagogi, akaanza kufundisha.
And they go into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.
22 Watu wakashangaa sana kwa mafundisho yake, kwa maana aliwafundisha kama yeye aliye na mamlaka, wala si kama walimu wa sheria.
And they were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Wakati huo huo katika sinagogi lao palikuwa na mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo mchafu,
And straightway there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 naye akapiga kelele akisema, “Tuna nini nawe, Yesu wa Nazareti? Je, umekuja kutuangamiza? Ninakujua wewe ni nani. Wewe ndiwe Aliye Mtakatifu wa Mungu!”
saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 Lakini Yesu akamkemea, akamwambia, “Nyamaza kimya! Nawe umtoke!”
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
26 Yule pepo mchafu akamtikisatikisa huyo mtu kwa nguvu, kisha akamtoka akipiga kelele kwa sauti kubwa.
And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 Watu wote wakashangaa, hata wakaulizana wao kwa wao, “Haya ni mambo gani? Ni mafundisho mapya, tena yenye mamlaka! Anaamuru hata pepo wachafu, nao wanamtii!”
And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
28 Sifa zake zikaanza kuenea haraka katika eneo lote la karibu na Galilaya.
And the report of him went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about.
29 Mara walipotoka katika sinagogi, walikwenda pamoja na Yakobo na Yohana hadi nyumbani kwa Simoni na Andrea.
And straightway, when they were come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Mama mkwe wa Simoni alikuwa kitandani, ana homa, nao wakamweleza Yesu habari zake.
Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever; and straightway they tell him of her:
31 Hivyo Yesu akamwendea, akamshika mkono na kumwinua. Kisha homa ikamwacha, naye akaanza kuwahudumia.
and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
32 Jioni ile baada ya jua kutua, watu wakamletea Yesu wagonjwa wote na waliopagawa na pepo wachafu.
And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with demons.
33 Mji wote ukakusanyika mbele ya nyumba hiyo.
And all the city was gathered together at the door.
34 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.
And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.
35 Alfajiri na mapema sana kulipokuwa bado kuna giza, Yesu akaamka, akaondoka, akaenda mahali pa faragha ili kuomba.
And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed.
36 Simoni na wenzake wakaenda kumtafuta,
And Simon and they that were with him followed after him;
37 nao walipomwona, wakamwambia, “Kila mtu anakutafuta!”
and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee.
38 Yesu akawajibu, “Twendeni mahali pengine kwenye vijiji jirani, ili niweze kuhubiri huko pia, kwa sababu hicho ndicho nilichokuja kukifanya.”
And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth.
39 Kwa hiyo akazunguka Galilaya kote, akihubiri katika masinagogi yao na kutoa pepo wachafu.
And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.
40 Mtu mmoja mwenye ukoma alimjia Yesu, akamwomba akipiga magoti, akamwambia, “Ukitaka, waweza kunitakasa.”
And there cometh to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41 Yesu, akiwa amejawa na huruma, akanyoosha mkono wake akamgusa, akamwambia, “Nataka. Takasika!”
And being moved with compassion, he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou made clean.
42 Mara ukoma ukamtoka, naye akatakasika.
And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.
43 Baada ya Yesu kumwonya vikali, akamruhusu aende zake
And he strictly charged him, and straightway sent him out,
44 akimwambia, “Hakikisha humwambii mtu yeyote habari hizi, bali nenda ukajionyeshe kwa kuhani, na ukatoe sadaka alizoagiza Mose kwa utakaso wako, ili kuwa ushuhuda kwao.”
and saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
45 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.
But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
