Marko 5
1 Wakafika upande wa pili wa ziwa wakaingia katika nchi ya Wagerasi.
They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2 Yesu alipotoka kwenye mashua, mara mtu mmoja mwenye pepo mchafu akatoka makaburini akakutana naye.
When he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met him out of the tombs.
3 Mtu huyu aliishi makaburini, wala hakuna aliyeweza kumzuia hata kwa kumfunga minyororo.
He lived in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even with chains,
4 Kwa kuwa mara kwa mara alikuwa amefungwa minyororo mikononi na miguuni, lakini akaikata hiyo minyororo na kuzivunja zile pingu miguuni mwake. Hapakuwa na mtu yeyote aliyekuwa na nguvu za kumzuia.
because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Nobody had the strength to tame him.
5 Usiku na mchana alikuwa makaburini na milimani, akipiga kelele na kujikatakata kwa mawe.
Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
6 Alipomwona Yesu kwa mbali, alimkimbilia, akapiga magoti mbele yake.
When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,
7 Akapiga kelele kwa nguvu akisema, “Una nini nami, Yesu, Mwana wa Mungu Aliye Juu Sana? Ninakusihi kwa jina la Mungu, usinitese!”
and crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me.”
8 Kwa kuwa Yesu alikuwa amemwambia, “Mtoke mtu huyu, wewe pepo mchafu!”
For he said to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”
9 Yesu akamuuliza, “Jina lako ni nani?” Akamjibu, “Jina langu ni Legioni, kwa kuwa tuko wengi.”
He asked him, “What is your name?” He said to him, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
10 Akamsihi Yesu sana asiwapeleke nje ya nchi ile.
He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
11 Palikuwa na kundi kubwa la nguruwe lililokuwa likilisha karibu kando ya kilima.
Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.
12 Wale pepo wachafu wakamsihi Yesu wakisema, “Tuamuru twende kwenye wale nguruwe. Turuhusu tuwaingie.”
All the demons begged him, saying, “Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them.”
13 Basi Yesu akawaruhusu, nao wale pepo wachafu wakatoka, wakawaingia hao nguruwe. Lile kundi lilikuwa na nguruwe wapatao 2,000, nao wote wakateremkia gengeni kwa kasi, nao wakatumbukia ziwani na kuzama.
At once Jesus gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
14 Wale watu waliokuwa wakichunga hao nguruwe wakakimbilia mjini na vijijini kueleza yaliyotukia. Watu wakatoka kwenda kuona hayo yaliyokuwa yametukia.
Those who fed the pigs fled, and told it in the city and in the country. The people came to see what it was that had happened.
15 Walipofika kwa Yesu, wakamwona yule mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo wachafu legioni akiwa ameketi hapo, amevaa nguo na mwenye akili timamu. Wakaogopa.
They came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid.
16 Wale walioyaona mambo hayo wakawaeleza watu wengine yaliyomtokea yule mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo wachafu, na habari za lile kundi la nguruwe pia.
Those who saw it declared to them what happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.
17 Basi watu wakaanza kumwomba Yesu aondoke katika nchi yao.
They began to beg him to depart from their region.
18 Yesu alipokuwa anaingia kwenye mashua, yule mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo wachafu akamsihi Yesu waende pamoja.
As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him.
19 Yesu hakumruhusu, bali alimwambia, “Nenda nyumbani kwa jamaa yako ukawaeleze mambo makuu aliyokutendea Bwana, na jinsi alivyokuhurumia.”
He did not allow him, but said to him, “Go to your house, to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you and how he had mercy on you.”
20 Yule mtu akaenda zake, akaanza kutangaza katika Dekapoli mambo makuu Yesu aliyomtendea. Nao watu wote wakastaajabu.
He went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone marveled.
21 Yesu alipokwisha kuvuka tena na kufika ngʼambo, umati mkubwa wa watu ukamzunguka yeye akiwa hapo kando ya bahari.
When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.
22 Kisha mmoja wa viongozi wa sinagogi aliyeitwa Yairo akafika pale. Naye alipomwona Yesu, akapiga magoti miguuni pake,
Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet
23 akamsihi akisema, “Binti yangu mdogo ni mgonjwa mahututi. Tafadhali nakusihi, njoo uweke mikono yako juu yake ili apate kupona, naye atakuwa hai.”
and begged him much, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live.”
24 Hivyo Yesu akaenda pamoja naye. Umati mkubwa wa watu ukamfuata, nao watu wakawa wanamsonga.
He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.
25 Hapo palikuwa na mwanamke aliyekuwa amesumbuliwa na tatizo la kutokwa damu kwa miaka kumi na miwili.
A certain woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years,
26 Mwanamke huyu alikuwa ameteseka sana kwa mikono ya matabibu wengi, na kutumia kila kitu alichokuwa nacho. Lakini badala ya kupona, hali yake ilizidi kuwa mbaya.
and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,
27 Alikuwa amesikia habari za Yesu, naye akaja kwa nyuma yake kwenye umati wa watu, akaligusa vazi lake,
having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothes.
28 kwa maana alisema moyoni mwake, “Kama nikiweza kuligusa vazi lake tu, nitaponywa.”
For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well.”
29 Mara kutoka damu kwake kukakoma, naye akajisikia mwilini mwake amepona kabisa.
Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
30 Ghafula Yesu akatambua kuwa nguvu zimemtoka. Akaugeukia ule umati wa watu na kuuliza, “Ni nani aliyegusa mavazi yangu?”
Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
31 Wanafunzi wake wakamjibu, “Unaona jinsi umati wa watu unavyokusonga. Wawezaje kuuliza, ‘Ni nani aliyenigusa?’”
His disciples said to him, “You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
32 Lakini Yesu akaangalia pande zote ili aone ni nani aliyemgusa.
He looked around to see her who had done this thing.
33 Yule mwanamke, akijua kilichomtokea, akaja, akaanguka miguuni pake akitetemeka kwa hofu, akamweleza ukweli wote.
But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 Yesu akamwambia, “Binti, imani yako imekuponya. Nenda kwa amani, upone kabisa ugonjwa wako.”
He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.”
35 Alipokuwa bado anaongea, watu wakafika kutoka nyumbani kwa Yairo. Wakamwambia, “Binti yako amekufa. Kwa nini kuendelea kumsumbua Mwalimu?”
While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler’s house, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?”
36 Aliposikia hayo waliyosema, Yesu akamwambia huyo kiongozi wa sinagogi, “Usiogope. Amini tu.”
But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid, only believe.”
37 Hakumruhusu mtu mwingine yeyote amfuate isipokuwa Petro, Yakobo na Yohana, nduguye Yakobo.
He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
38 Walipofika nyumbani kwa yule kiongozi wa sinagogi, Yesu akaona ghasia, watu wakilia na kuomboleza kwa sauti kubwa.
He came to the synagogue ruler’s house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.
39 Alipokwisha kuingia ndani, akawaambia, “Kwa nini mnafanya ghasia na kulia? Mtoto hajafa, bali amelala tu.”
When he had entered in, he said to them, “Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep.”
40 Wale watu wakamcheka kwa dharau. Lakini yeye akawatoa wote nje, akawachukua baba na mama wa yule mtoto, pamoja na wale wanafunzi aliokuwa nao. Wakaingia ndani mpaka pale alipokuwa yule mtoto.
They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying.
41 Akamshika mtoto mkono, akamwambia, “Talitha koum!” (maana yake ni, “Msichana, nakuambia: amka!”)
Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha cumi!” which means, being interpreted, “Girl, I tell you, get up!”
42 Mara yule msichana akasimama, akaanza kutembea (alikuwa na umri wa miaka kumi na miwili). Walipoona haya, wakastaajabu sana.
Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement.
43 Yesu akawaagiza kwa ukali wasimweleze mtu yeyote jambo hilo, naye akawaambia wampe yule msichana chakula.
He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
