Marko 2
1 Baada ya siku kadhaa Yesu alirudi Kapernaumu, watu wakasikia kwamba amerudi nyumbani.
And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
2 Hivyo watu wengi wakakusanyika kiasi kwamba hapakubaki nafasi yoyote hata mlangoni! Naye akawahubiria Neno.
And immediately many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word (logos) unto them.
3 Ndipo baadhi ya watu wakaja wakamletea Yesu mtu aliyepooza, akiwa amebebwa na watu wanne.
And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
4 Kwa kuwa walikuwa hawawezi kumfikisha kwa Yesu kwa ajili ya umati wa watu, walitoboa tundu kwenye paa mahali pale alipokuwa Yesu, wakamshusha yule aliyepooza kwa kitanda alichokuwa amelalia.
And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
5 Yesu alipoiona imani yao, alimwambia yule mtu aliyepooza, “Mwanangu, dhambi zako zimesamehewa.”
When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, your sins be forgiven you.
6 Basi baadhi ya walimu wa sheria waliokuwa wameketi huko wakawaza mioyoni mwao,
But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 “Kwa nini mtu huyu anasema hivi? Huyu anakufuru! Ni nani awezaye kusamehe dhambi isipokuwa Mungu peke yake?”
Why does this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
8 Mara moja Yesu akatambua rohoni mwake kile walichokuwa wanawaza mioyoni mwao, naye akawaambia, “Kwa nini mnawaza hivyo mioyoni mwenu?
And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit (pneuma) that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason all of you these things in your hearts?
9 Je, ni lipi lililo rahisi zaidi: kumwambia huyu aliyepooza, ‘Umesamehewa dhambi zako,’ au kusema, ‘Inuka, uchukue mkeka wako, uende’?
Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Your sins be forgiven you; or to say, Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?
10 Lakini ili mpate kujua ya kwamba Mwana wa Adamu anayo mamlaka duniani kusamehe dhambi…” Yesu akamwambia yule aliyepooza,
But that all of you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (he says to the sick of the palsy, )
11 “Nakuambia, inuka, chukua mkeka wako, uende nyumbani kwako.”
I say unto you, Arise, and take up your bed, and go your way into your house.
12 Yule mtu aliyekuwa amepooza akasimama, akachukua mkeka wake, akatembea machoni pao wote! Jambo hili likawashangaza wote, wakamtukuza Mungu, wakisema, “Hatujapata kuona jambo kama hili kamwe!”
And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
13 Yesu akaenda tena kandokando ya Bahari ya Galilaya. Umati mkubwa wa watu ukamfuata, naye akaanza kuwafundisha.
And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.
14 Alipokuwa akitembea, akamwona Lawi mwana wa Alfayo ameketi forodhani mahali pa kutoza ushuru, akamwambia, “Nifuate.” Lawi akaondoka, akamfuata Yesu.
And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
15 Yesu alipokuwa akila chakula nyumbani mwa Lawi, watoza ushuru wengi pamoja na “wenye dhambi” walikuwa wakila pamoja naye na wanafunzi wake, kwa maana kulikuwa na watu wengi waliokuwa wakimfuata.
And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at food in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
16 Baadhi ya walimu wa sheria waliokuwa Mafarisayo walipomwona akila pamoja na watoza ushuru na “wenye dhambi,” wakawauliza wanafunzi wake: “Mbona Yesu anakula pamoja na watoza ushuru na ‘wenye dhambi’?”
And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eats and drinks with publicans and sinners?
17 Yesu aliposikia haya akawaambia, “Watu wenye afya hawahitaji tabibu, bali walio wagonjwa. Sikuja kuwaita wenye haki, bali wenye dhambi.”
When Jesus heard it, he says unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
18 Basi wanafunzi wa Yohana pamoja na Mafarisayo walikuwa wakifunga. Baadhi ya watu wakamjia Yesu na kumuuliza, “Mbona wanafunzi wa Yohana na wa Mafarisayo hufunga lakini wanafunzi wako hawafungi?”
And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples fast not?
19 Yesu akawajibu, “Wageni wa bwana arusi wawezaje kufunga wakati angali pamoja nao? Wakati bwana arusi bado yuko pamoja nao, hawawezi kufunga.
And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20 Lakini wakati utafika ambapo bwana arusi ataondolewa kwao. Siku hiyo ndipo watakapofunga.
But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
21 “Hakuna mtu ashoneaye kiraka cha nguo mpya kwenye nguo iliyochakaa. Akifanya hivyo, kile kiraka kipya kitachanika kutoka ile nguo iliyochakaa, nayo itachanika zaidi.
No man also sews a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up takes away from the old, and the rent is made worse.
22 Wala hakuna mtu awekaye divai mpya kwenye viriba vikuukuu. Akifanya hivyo, ile divai mpya itavipasua hivyo viriba, nayo hiyo divai itamwagika na viriba vitaharibika. Lakini divai mpya huwekwa kwenye viriba vipya.”
And no man puts new wine into old bottles: else the new wine does burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be ruined: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
23 Siku moja ya Sabato, Yesu pamoja na wanafunzi wake walikuwa wakipita katikati ya mashamba ya nafaka. Walipokuwa wakitembea, wanafunzi wake wakaanza kuvunja masuke.
And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
24 Mafarisayo wakamwambia, “Tazama, mbona wanafanya jambo lisilo halali kufanywa siku ya Sabato?”
And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
25 Yesu akawajibu, “Je, hamjasoma kamwe alivyofanya Daudi wakati yeye na wenzake walikuwa na njaa, wakahitaji chakula?
And he said unto them, Have all of you never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungered, he, and they that were with him?
26 Daudi aliingia katika nyumba ya Mungu, wakati Abiathari alikuwa kuhani mkuu, akaila ile mikate iliyowekwa wakfu, ambayo ni halali kuliwa na makuhani peke yao. Naye pia akawapa wenzake.”
How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the showbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?
27 Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “Sabato ilifanyika kwa ajili ya mwanadamu, lakini si mwanadamu kwa ajili ya Sabato.
And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
28 Hivyo, Mwana wa Adamu ndiye Bwana wa Sabato.”
Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
