Marko 1
1 Mwanzo wa Injili ya Yesu Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu.
THE beginning of the Gospel of Jeshu Meshicha, the Son of Aloha.
2 Kama ilivyoandikwa katika kitabu cha nabii Isaya: “Tazama, nitamtuma mjumbe wangu mbele yako, atakayetengeneza njia mbele yako”:
As it is written in Eshaia the prophet: Behold, I send my angel before thy face, Who shall make straight thy way.
3 “sauti ya mtu aliaye nyikani. ‘Itengenezeni njia ya Bwana, yanyoosheni mapito yake.’”
The voice which crieth in the desert, Prepare the way of the Lord, Make level his paths.
4 Yohana alikuja, akibatiza huko nyikani, akihubiri ubatizo wa toba kwa ajili ya msamaha wa dhambi.
Juchanon was in the desert, baptizing, and proclaiming the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
5 Watu kutoka Uyahudi wote na sehemu zote za Yerusalemu walikuwa wakimwendea. Nao wakaziungama dhambi zao, akawabatiza katika Mto Yordani.
And all the region of Jehud and all the sons of Urishlem went out to him; and he baptized them in Jurdan the river, while they were 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.
But Juchanon himself was clothed with a garment of the hair of camels, and engirded with a belt of leather upon his loins; and his food was locusts and wilderness 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 proclaimed and said, Behold, (One) cometh after me, who is mightier than I; he, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to bow myself to unloose.
8 Mimi nawabatiza kwa maji, lakini yeye atawabatiza kwa Roho Mtakatifu.”
I have baptized you with waters; but he shall baptize you with the Spirit of Holiness.
9 Wakati huo Yesu akaja kutoka Nazareti ya Galilaya, naye akabatizwa na Yohana katika Mto Yordani.
And it was in those days that Jeshu came from Natsrath of Galila, and was baptized in Jurdan by Juchanon.
10 Yesu alipokuwa akitoka ndani ya maji, aliona mbingu zikifunguka na Roho akishuka juu yake kama hua.
And as soon as he had ascended from the waters, he saw the heavens part asunder, and the Spirit, as a dove, descend upon him.
11 Nayo sauti kutoka mbinguni ikasema, “Wewe ni Mwanangu mpendwa; nami nimependezwa nawe sana.”
And the voice was from the heavens, Thou art my Son, the Beloved: in thee I have delighted.
12 Wakati huo huo, Roho akamwongoza Yesu kwenda nyikani,
And immediately the Spirit led him forth into the desert.
13 naye akawa huko nyikani kwa muda wa siku arobaini, akijaribiwa na Shetani. Alikaa na wanyama wa mwituni, nao malaika wakamhudumia.
And he was there in the desert forty days, being tempted by Satana: and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.
14 Baada ya Yohana kukamatwa na kutiwa gerezani, Yesu aliingia Galilaya akaanza kuhubiri habari njema ya Mungu,
BUT after Juchanon was delivered up, Jeshu came to Galila, and proclaimed the annunciation of the kingdom of Aloha.
15 akisema, “Wakati umewadia, Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia. Tubuni na kuiamini Habari Njema.”
And he said, The time is complete; the kingdom of Aloha cometh: repent, and believe 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 while he walked about the sea of Galila, he saw Shemun and Andreas his brother, who were casting nets into the sea: for they were fishers.
17 Yesu akawaambia, “Njooni, nifuateni nami nitawafanya mwe wavuvi wa watu.”
And Jeshu said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of the sons of men.
18 Mara wakaacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata.
And at once they forsook their nets, and went after him.
19 Alipokwenda mbele kidogo, akamwona Yakobo mwana wa Zebedayo na Yohana nduguye, wakiwa kwenye mashua yao wakizitengeneza nyavu zao.
And when he had passed on a little, he saw Jakub bar Zabdai and Juchanon his brother; and they also were in a vessel, preparing their nets.
20 Papo hapo akawaita, nao wakamwacha Zebedayo baba yao kwenye mashua pamoja na watumishi wa kuajiriwa, nao wakamfuata Yesu.
And he called them; and forthwith they left Zabdai their father with the hirelings, and went after him.
21 Wakaenda mpaka Kapernaumu. Ilipofika siku ya Sabato, mara Yesu akaingia sinagogi, akaanza kufundisha.
And when they were come to Kapher-nachum, he forthwith taught on the sabbaths in their assemblies.
22 Watu wakashangaa sana kwa mafundisho yake, kwa maana aliwafundisha kama yeye aliye na mamlaka, wala si kama walimu wa sheria.
And they wondered at his doctrine; for he taught them as having power, and not as their Sophree.
23 Wakati huo huo katika sinagogi lao palikuwa na mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo mchafu,
And there was in their assembly a man who had an unclean spirit: and he cried
24 naye akapiga kelele akisema, “Tuna nini nawe, Yesu wa Nazareti? Je, umekuja kutuangamiza? Ninakujua wewe ni nani. Wewe ndiwe Aliye Mtakatifu wa Mungu!”
and said, What to us and to thee, Jeshu Natsroya? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of Aloha.
25 Lakini Yesu akamkemea, akamwambia, “Nyamaza kimya! Nawe umtoke!”
And Jeshu restrained him, and said, Close thy mouth, and come forth from him.
26 Yule pepo mchafu akamtikisatikisa huyo mtu kwa nguvu, kisha akamtoka akipiga kelele kwa sauti kubwa.
And the impure spirit threw him down, and cried with a high voice, and went forth from 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 all wondered, and questioned one with another, Who is this? and what is this new doctrine? because with authority he commandeth the impure spirits, and they obey him.
28 Sifa zake zikaanza kuenea haraka katika eneo lote la karibu na Galilaya.
And his fame soon went out through all the region of Galila.
29 Mara walipotoka katika sinagogi, walikwenda pamoja na Yakobo na Yohana hadi nyumbani kwa Simoni na Andrea.
And he proceeded from the assembly, and came to the house of Shemun and Andreas with Jacub and Juchanon.
30 Mama mkwe wa Simoni alikuwa kitandani, ana homa, nao wakamweleza Yesu habari zake.
And the mother-in-law of Shemun was lying in a fever; and they told him concerning her.
31 Hivyo Yesu akamwendea, akamshika mkono na kumwinua. Kisha homa ikamwacha, naye akaanza kuwahudumia.
And he approached, took her by her hand; and she arose, and at once the fever left her, and she served them.
32 Jioni ile baada ya jua kutua, watu wakamletea Yesu wagonjwa wote na waliopagawa na pepo wachafu.
Then in the evening at sun-setting they brought to him all those who were grievously affected and demoniacs.
33 Mji wote ukakusanyika mbele ya nyumba hiyo.
And the whole city was assembled at the gate:
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 multitudes who were grievously affected with various diseases, and cast out many demons, and would not permit the demons to speak; for 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 he arose long before (day), and went into a solitude, and there prayed.
36 Simoni na wenzake wakaenda kumtafuta,
And Shemun and (they) who (were) with him sought for him;
37 nao walipomwona, wakamwambia, “Kila mtu anakutafuta!”
and when they had found him, they said to him, All men are seeking thee.
38 Yesu akawajibu, “Twendeni mahali pengine kwenye vijiji jirani, ili niweze kuhubiri huko pia, kwa sababu hicho ndicho nilichokuja kukifanya.”
He said to them, Proceed you to the neighbouring towns and cities; for there also I will preach, because for this am I come.
39 Kwa hiyo akazunguka Galilaya kote, akihubiri katika masinagogi yao na kutoa pepo wachafu.
And he preached in all their assemblies in all Galila, and cast out devils.
40 Mtu mmoja mwenye ukoma alimjia Yesu, akamwomba akipiga magoti, akamwambia, “Ukitaka, waweza kunitakasa.”
And a leper came to him, and fell at his feet, and besought him, and said to him, If thou wilt, thou canst cleanse me.
41 Yesu, akiwa amejawa na huruma, akanyoosha mkono wake akamgusa, akamwambia, “Nataka. Takasika!”
And Jeshu had compassion on him, and stretched forth his hand, touched him, and said, I will, be clean.
42 Mara ukoma ukamtoka, naye akatakasika.
And in that very hour his leprosy went from him, and he was cleansed.
43 Baada ya Yesu kumwonya vikali, akamruhusu aende zake
And he restrained him, and led him forth,
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 said to him, See lest thou tell any one; but go, show thyself to the priests, and offer the oblation for thy purification as Musha commanded for their testimony.
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, when he was gone forth, began to announce it much, and so divulged the matter as that Jeshu could not go openly in the city, but was without in a solitary part: and they came to him from every place.
