Marko 6
1 Yesu akaondoka huko na kwenda mji wa kwao, akiwa amefuatana na wanafunzi wake.
And he departed thence, and came into his owne countrey, and his disciples followed him.
2 Ilipofika siku ya Sabato, akaanza kufundisha katika sinagogi, na wengi waliomsikia wakashangaa. Nao wakauliza, “Mtu huyu ameyapata wapi mambo haya yote? Tazama ni hekima ya namna gani hii aliyopewa? Tazama matendo ya miujiza ayafanyayo kwa mikono yake!
And when the Sabbath was come, he began to teach in the Synagogue, and many that heard him, were astonied, and sayd, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdome is this that is giuen vnto him, that euen such great workes are done by his hands?
3 Huyu si yule seremala, mwana wa Maria? Na ndugu zake si Yakobo, Yose, Yuda na Simoni? Dada zake wote si tuko nao hapa kwetu?” Nao wakachukizwa sana kwa ajili yake, wakakataa kumwamini.
Is not this that carpenter Maries sonne, the brother of Iames and Ioses, and of Iuda and Simon? and are not his sisters here with vs? And they were offended in him.
4 Yesu akawaambia, “Nabii hakosi heshima isipokuwa katika mji wake mwenyewe, na miongoni mwa jamaa na ndugu zake, na nyumbani kwake.”
Then Iesus sayd vnto them, A Prophet is not without honour, but in his owne countrey, and among his owne kindred, and in his own house.
5 Hakufanya miujiza yoyote huko isipokuwa kuweka mikono yake juu ya wagonjwa wachache na kuwaponya.
And he could there doe no great workes, saue that hee layd his hands vpon a fewe sicke folke, and healed them,
6 Naye akashangazwa sana kwa jinsi wasivyokuwa na imani. Kisha Yesu akawa anakwenda kutoka kijiji kimoja hadi kingine akifundisha.
And he marueiled at their vnbeliefe, and went about by ye townes on euery side, teaching.
7 Akawaita wale kumi na wawili, akawatuma wawili wawili, na kuwapa mamlaka kutoa pepo wachafu.
And he called vnto him the twelue, and began to send them forth two and two, and gaue them power ouer vncleane spirits,
8 Akawaagiza akisema, “Msichukue chochote kwa ajili ya safari isipokuwa fimbo tu. Msichukue mkate, wala mkoba, wala fedha kwenye mikanda yenu.
And commanded them that they should take nothing for their iourney, saue a staffe onely: neither scrip, neither bread, neither money in their girdles:
9 Vaeni viatu, lakini msivae nguo ya ziada.”
But that they should be shod with sandals, and that they should not put on two coates.
10 Akawaambia, “Mkiingia kwenye nyumba yoyote, kaeni humo hadi mtakapoondoka katika mji huo.
And he sayd vnto them, Wheresoeuer ye shall enter into an house, there abide till ye depart thence.
11 Kama mahali popote hawatawakaribisha wala kuwasikiliza, mtakapoondoka huko, kungʼuteni mavumbi kutoka kwenye miguu yenu ili kuwa ushuhuda dhidi yao.”
And whosoeuer shall not receiue you, nor heare you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust that is vnder your feete, for a witnes vnto them. Verely I say vnto you, It shalbe easier for Sodom, or Gomorrha at the day of iudgement, then for that citie.
12 Kwa hiyo wakatoka na kuhubiri kwamba inawapasa watu kutubu na kuacha dhambi.
And they went out, and preached, that men should amend their liues.
13 Wakatoa pepo wachafu wengi, wakawapaka wagonjwa wengi mafuta na kuwaponya.
And they cast out many deuils: and they anointed many that were sicke, with oyle, and healed them.
14 Mfalme Herode akasikia habari hizi, kwa maana jina la Yesu lilikuwa limejulikana sana. Watu wengine walikuwa wakisema, “Yohana Mbatizaji amefufuliwa kutoka kwa wafu, ndiyo sababu nguvu za kutenda miujiza zinafanya kazi ndani yake.”
Then King Herod heard of him (for his name was made manifest) and sayd, Iohn Baptist is risen againe from the dead, and therefore great workes are wrought by him.
15 Wengine wakasema, “Yeye ni Eliya.” Nao wengine wakasema, “Yeye ni nabii, kama mmojawapo wa wale manabii wa zamani.”
Other sayd, It is Elias, and some sayd, It is a Prophet, or as one of those Prophets.
16 Lakini Herode aliposikia habari hizi, akasema, “Huyo ni Yohana Mbatizaji, niliyemkata kichwa, amefufuliwa kutoka kwa wafu!”
So when Herod heard it, he said, It is Iohn whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.
17 Kwa kuwa Herode alikuwa ameagiza kwamba Yohana Mbatizaji akamatwe, afungwe na kutiwa gerezani. Alifanya hivi kwa sababu ya Herodia, mke wa Filipo, ndugu yake, ambaye Herode alikuwa amemwoa.
For Herod him selfe had sent forth, and had taken Iohn, and bound him in prison for Herodias sake, which was his brother Philippes wife, because he had maried her.
18 Yohana alikuwa amemwambia Herode, “Si halali kwako kuwa na mke wa ndugu yako.”
For Iohn sayd vnto Herod, It is not lawfull for thee to haue thy brothers wife.
19 Kwa hiyo Herodia alikuwa amemwekea Yohana kinyongo akataka kumuua. Lakini hakuweza,
Therefore Herodias layd waite against him, and would haue killed him, but she could not:
20 kwa sababu Herode alimwogopa Yohana akijua kwamba ni mtu mwenye haki na mtakatifu, hivyo akamlinda. Herode alifadhaika sana alipomsikia Yohana, lakini bado alipenda kumsikiliza.
For Herod feared Iohn, knowing that hee was a iust man, and an holy, and reuerenced him, and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.
21 Mfalme Herode alifanya karamu kubwa wakati wa sikukuu ya kuzaliwa kwake. Akawaalika maafisa wake wakuu, majemadari wa jeshi na watu mashuhuri wa Galilaya. Hatimaye Herodia alipata wasaa aliokuwa akiutafuta.
But the time being conuenient, when Herod on his birth day made a banket to his princes and captaines, and chiefe estates of Galile:
22 Binti yake Herodia alipoingia na kucheza, akamfurahisha Herode pamoja na wageni wake walioalikwa chakulani. Mfalme Herode akamwambia yule binti, “Niombe kitu chochote utakacho, nami nitakupa.”
And the daughter of the same Herodias came in, and daunced, and pleased Herod, and them that sate at table together, the King sayd vnto the mayde, Aske of me what thou wilt, and I will giue it thee.
23 Tena akamwahidi kwa kiapo, akamwambia, “Chochote utakachoomba nitakupa, hata kama ni nusu ya ufalme wangu.”
And he sware vnto her, Whatsoeuer thou shalt aske of me, I will giue it thee, euen vnto the halfe of my kingdome.
24 Yule binti akatoka nje, akaenda kumuuliza mama yake, “Niombe nini?” Mama yake akamjibu, “Omba kichwa cha Yohana Mbatizaji.”
So she went forth, and said to her mother, What shall I aske? And she said, Iohn Baptists head.
25 Yule binti akarudi haraka kwa mfalme, akamwambia, “Nataka unipe sasa hivi kichwa cha Yohana Mbatizaji kwenye sinia.”
Then she came in straightway with haste vnto the King, and asked, saying, I would that thou shouldest giue me euen now in a charger the head of Iohn Baptist.
26 Mfalme akasikitika sana, lakini kwa sababu alikuwa ameapa viapo mbele ya wageni wake, hakutaka kumkatalia.
Then the King was very sory: yet for his othes sake, and for their sakes which sate at table with him, he would not refuse her.
27 Mara mfalme akatuma askari mmojawapo wa walinzi wake kukileta kichwa cha Yohana. Akaenda na kumkata Yohana kichwa humo gerezani,
And immediatly the King sent the hangman, and gaue charge that his head shoulde be brought in. So he went and beheaded him in the prison,
28 akakileta kichwa chake kwenye sinia na kumpa yule msichana, naye yule msichana akampa mama yake.
And brought his head in a charger, and gaue it to the maide, and the maide gaue it to her mother.
29 Wanafunzi wa Yohana walipopata habari hizi, wakaja na kuuchukua mwili wake, wakauzika kaburini.
And when his disciples heard it, they came and tooke vp his body, and put it in a tombe.
30 Wale mitume wakakusanyika kwa Yesu na kumpa taarifa ya mambo yote waliyokuwa wamefanya na kufundisha.
And the Apostles gathered themselues together to Iesus, and tolde him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
31 Basi kwa kuwa watu wengi mno walikuwa wakija na kutoka, hata wakawa hawana nafasi ya kula, Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Twendeni peke yetu mahali pa faragha, mpate kupumzika.”
And he sayd vnto them, Come ye apart into the wildernes, and rest a while: for there were many commers and goers, that they had not leasure to eate.
32 Hivyo wakaondoka kwa mashua peke yao, wakaenda mahali pasipo na watu.
So they went by ship out of the way into a desart place.
33 Lakini watu wengi waliowaona wakiondoka, wakawatambua, nao wakaenda haraka kwa miguu kutoka miji yote, nao wakatangulia kufika.
But the people sawe them when they departed, and many knewe him, and ran a foote thither out of all cities, and came thither before them, and assembled vnto him.
34 Yesu alipofika kando ya bahari, aliona makutano makubwa ya watu, akawahurumia kwa maana walikuwa kama kondoo wasiokuwa na mchungaji. Kwa hiyo akaanza kuwafundisha mambo mengi.
Then Iesus went out, and sawe a great multitude, and had compassion on them, because they were like sheepe which had no shepheard: and he began to teach them many things.
35 Mchana ulipokuwa umeendelea sana, wanafunzi wake walienda kwake, wakamwambia, “Mahali hapa ni nyikani, nazo saa zimekwenda sana.
And when the day was nowe farre spent, his disciples came vnto him, saying, This is a desart place, and nowe the day is farre passed.
36 Waage watu ili waende mashambani na vijijini jirani, wakajinunulie chakula.”
Let them depart, that they may goe into the countrey and townes about, and buy them bread: for they haue nothing to eate.
37 Lakini Yesu akawajibu, “Ninyi wapeni chakula.” Wakamwambia, “Je, twende tukanunue mikate ya dinari 200 ili tuwape watu hawa wale?”
But he answered, and said vnto them, Giue yee them to eate. And they said vnto him, Shall we goe, and buy two hundreth peny worth of bread, and giue them to eate?
38 Akawauliza, “Kuna mikate mingapi? Nendeni mkaangalie.” Walipokwisha kujua wakarudi, wakamwambia, “Kuna mikate mitano na samaki wawili.”
Then he sayde vnto them, Howe many loaues haue ye? goe and looke. And when they knewe it, they sayd, Fiue, and two fishes.
39 Kisha Yesu akawaamuru wawaketishe watu makundi makundi kwenye majani,
So he commanded them to make them all sit downe by companies vpon the greene grasse.
40 nao wakaketi kwenye makundi ya watu mia mia na wengine hamsini hamsini.
Then they sate downe by rowes, by hundreds, and by fifties.
41 Yesu akaichukua ile mikate mitano na wale samaki wawili, akainua macho yake akatazama mbinguni, akavibariki na kuimega ile mikate. Kisha akawapa wanafunzi wake ili wawagawie wale watu wote. Pia akawagawia wote wale samaki wawili.
And he tooke the fiue loaues, and the two fishes, and looked vp to heauen, and gaue thanks, and brake the loaues, and gaue them to his disciples to set before them, and the two fishes he deuided among them all.
42 Watu wote wakala, wakashiba.
So they did all eate, and were satisfied.
43 Nao wanafunzi wake wakakusanya vipande vilivyosalia vya mikate na samaki, wakajaza vikapu kumi na viwili.
And they tooke vp twelue baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
44 Idadi ya wanaume waliokula walikuwa 5,000.
And they that had eaten, were about fiue thousand men.
45 Mara Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake waingie kwenye mashua watangulie kwenda Bethsaida, wakati yeye alikuwa akiwaaga wale makutano.
And straightway he caused his disciples to goe into the ship, and to goe before vnto the other side vnto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.
46 Baada ya kuwaaga wale watu, akaenda mlimani kuomba.
Then assoone as he had sent them away, he departed into a mountaine to pray.
47 Ilipofika jioni, ile mashua ilikuwa imefika katikati ya bahari, na Yesu alikuwa peke yake katika nchi kavu.
And when euen was come, the ship was in the mids of the sea, and he alone on the land.
48 Akawaona wanafunzi wake wanahangaika na kupiga makasia kwa nguvu, kwa sababu upepo ulikuwa wa mbisho. Wakati wa zamu ya nne ya usiku, Yesu akawaendea wanafunzi wake, akiwa anatembea juu ya maji. Alikuwa karibu kuwapita,
And he saw them troubled in rowing, (for the winde was contrary vnto them) and about the fourth watch of the night, hee came vnto them, walking vpon the sea, and would haue passed by them.
49 lakini walipomwona akitembea juu ya maji, wakadhani ni mzimu. Wakapiga yowe,
And when they saw him walking vpon the sea, they supposed it had bene a spirit, and cried out.
50 kwa sababu wote walipomwona waliogopa. Mara Yesu akasema nao, akawaambia, “Jipeni moyo! Ni mimi. Msiogope!”
For they all saw him, and were sore afrayd: but anon he talked with them, and said vnto them, Be ye of good comfort: it is I, be not afrayd.
51 Akapanda ndani ya mashua nao, na ule upepo ukakoma! Wakashangaa kabisa,
Then he went vp vnto them into the ship, and the winde ceased, and they were much more amased in them selues, and marueiled.
52 kwa kuwa walikuwa hawajaelewa kuhusu ile mikate. Mioyo yao ilikuwa migumu.
For they had not considered the matter of the loaues, because their hearts were hardened.
53 Walipokwisha kuvuka, wakafika nchi ya Genesareti, wakatia nanga.
And they came ouer, and went into the land of Gennesaret, and arriued.
54 Mara waliposhuka kutoka mashua yao, watu wakamtambua Yesu.
So when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knewe him,
55 Wakaenda katika vijiji vyote upesi, wakawabeba wagonjwa kwenye mikeka ili kuwapeleka mahali popote waliposikia kuwa Yesu yupo.
And ran about throughout all that region round about, and began to cary hither and thither in couches all that were sicke, where they heard that he was.
56 Kila mahali Yesu alipokwenda, iwe vijijini, mijini au mashambani, watu waliwaweka wagonjwa wao masokoni. Wakamwomba awaruhusu hao wagonjwa waguse japo upindo wa vazi lake. Nao wote waliomgusa waliponywa.
And whithersoeuer he entred into townes, or cities, or villages, they laide their sicke in the streetes, and prayed him that they might touch at the least the edge of his garment. And as many as touched him, were made whole.
