Marko 6
1 Yesu akaondoka huko na kwenda mji wa kwao, akiwa amefuatana na wanafunzi wake.
And he went out from there, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow 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 hearing him were astonished, saying, From where hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given to him, that even such mighty works are wrought 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 the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
4 Yesu akawaambia, “Nabii hakosi heshima isipokuwa katika mji wake mwenyewe, na miongoni mwa jamaa na ndugu zake, na nyumbani kwake.”
But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own 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 do no mighty work, except that he laid his hands upon a few sick people, and healed them.
6 Naye akashangazwa sana kwa jinsi wasivyokuwa na imani. Kisha Yesu akawa anakwenda kutoka kijiji kimoja hadi kingine akifundisha.
And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went around the villages, teaching.
7 Akawaita wale kumi na wawili, akawatuma wawili wawili, na kuwapa mamlaka kutoa pepo wachafu.
And he calleth to him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them authority over unclean 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 journey, except a staff only; no bag, no bread, no money in their purse:
9 Vaeni viatu, lakini msivae nguo ya ziada.”
But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
10 Akawaambia, “Mkiingia kwenye nyumba yoyote, kaeni humo hadi mtakapoondoka katika mji huo.
And he said to them, In whatever place ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
11 Kama mahali popote hawatawakaribisha wala kuwasikiliza, mtakapoondoka huko, kungʼuteni mavumbi kutoka kwenye miguu yenu ili kuwa ushuhuda dhidi yao.”
And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.
12 Kwa hiyo wakatoka na kuhubiri kwamba inawapasa watu kutubu na kuacha dhambi.
And they went out, and preached that men should repent.
13 Wakatoa pepo wachafu wengi, wakawapaka wagonjwa wengi mafuta na kuwaponya.
And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, 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.”
And king Herod heard of him; ( for his name was spread abroad: ) and he said, That John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.
15 Wengine wakasema, “Yeye ni Eliya.” Nao wengine wakasema, “Yeye ni nabii, kama mmojawapo wa wale manabii wa zamani.”
Others said, That it is Elijah. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
16 Lakini Herode aliposikia habari hizi, akasema, “Huyo ni Yohana Mbatizaji, niliyemkata kichwa, amefufuliwa kutoka kwa wafu!”
But when Herod heard of him, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he hath 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 himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife: for he had married her.
18 Yohana alikuwa amemwambia Herode, “Si halali kwako kuwa na mke wa ndugu yako.”
For John had said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.
19 Kwa hiyo Herodia alikuwa amemwekea Yohana kinyongo akataka kumuua. Lakini hakuweza,
Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have 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 John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and observed 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.
And when a convenient day had come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief men of Galilee;
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 when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said to the girl, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
23 Tena akamwahidi kwa kiapo, akamwambia, “Chochote utakachoomba nitakupa, hata kama ni nusu ya ufalme wangu.”
And he swore to her, Whatever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, to the half of my kingdom.
24 Yule binti akatoka nje, akaenda kumuuliza mama yake, “Niombe nini?” Mama yake akamjibu, “Omba kichwa cha Yohana Mbatizaji.”
And she went forth, and said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
25 Yule binti akarudi haraka kwa mfalme, akamwambia, “Nataka unipe sasa hivi kichwa cha Yohana Mbatizaji kwenye sinia.”
And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou shouldest give me immediately on a platter the head of John the Baptist.
26 Mfalme akasikitika sana, lakini kwa sababu alikuwa ameapa viapo mbele ya wageni wake, hakutaka kumkatalia.
And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath’s sake, and for their sakes who sat with him, he would not reject her.
27 Mara mfalme akatuma askari mmojawapo wa walinzi wake kukileta kichwa cha Yohana. Akaenda na kumkata Yohana kichwa humo gerezani,
And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and 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 on a platter, and gave it to the girl: and the girl gave it to her mother.
29 Wanafunzi wa Yohana walipopata habari hizi, wakaja na kuuchukua mwili wake, wakauzika kaburini.
And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his dead body, and laid it in a tomb.
30 Wale mitume wakakusanyika kwa Yesu na kumpa taarifa ya mambo yote waliyokuwa wamefanya na kufundisha.
And the apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and told 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 said to them, Come ye yourselves aside into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
32 Hivyo wakaondoka kwa mashua peke yao, wakaenda mahali pasipo na watu.
And they departed into a desert place in a boat by themselves.
33 Lakini watu wengi waliowaona wakiondoka, wakawatambua, nao wakaenda haraka kwa miguu kutoka miji yote, nao wakatangulia kufika.
And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran on foot there out of all cities, and went before them, and came together to 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.
And Jesus, when he came out, saw many people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: 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 now far spent, his disciples came to him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:
36 Waage watu ili waende mashambani na vijijini jirani, wakajinunulie chakula.”
Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.
37 Lakini Yesu akawajibu, “Ninyi wapeni chakula.” Wakamwambia, “Je, twende tukanunue mikate ya dinari 200 ili tuwape watu hawa wale?”
He answered and said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
38 Akawauliza, “Kuna mikate mingapi? Nendeni mkaangalie.” Walipokwisha kujua wakarudi, wakamwambia, “Kuna mikate mitano na samaki wawili.”
He saith to them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
39 Kisha Yesu akawaamuru wawaketishe watu makundi makundi kwenye majani,
And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
40 nao wakaketi kwenye makundi ya watu mia mia na wengine hamsini hamsini.
And they sat down in ranks, 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 when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes he divided among them all.
42 Watu wote wakala, wakashiba.
And they all ate, and were satisfied.
43 Nao wanafunzi wake wakakusanya vipande vilivyosalia vya mikate na samaki, wakajaza vikapu kumi na viwili.
And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
44 Idadi ya wanaume waliokula walikuwa 5,000.
And they that ate of the loaves were about five thousand men.
45 Mara Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake waingie kwenye mashua watangulie kwenda Bethsaida, wakati yeye alikuwa akiwaaga wale makutano.
And immediately he constrained his disciples to get into the boat, and to go to the other side before to Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.
46 Baada ya kuwaaga wale watu, akaenda mlimani kuomba.
And when he had dismissed them, he departed to a mountain to pray.
47 Ilipofika jioni, ile mashua ilikuwa imefika katikati ya bahari, na Yesu alikuwa peke yake katika nchi kavu.
And when evening was come, the boat was in the midst 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 toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary to them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh to them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
49 lakini walipomwona akitembea juu ya maji, wakadhani ni mzimu. Wakapiga yowe,
But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been 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 troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith to them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
51 Akapanda ndani ya mashua nao, na ule upepo ukakoma! Wakashangaa kabisa,
And he went up to them into the boat; and the wind ceased: and they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
52 kwa kuwa walikuwa hawajaelewa kuhusu ile mikate. Mioyo yao ilikuwa migumu.
For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.
53 Walipokwisha kuvuka, wakafika nchi ya Genesareti, wakatia nanga.
And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
54 Mara waliposhuka kutoka mashua yao, watu wakamtambua Yesu.
And when they had come out of the boat, immediately they knew him,
55 Wakaenda katika vijiji vyote upesi, wakawabeba wagonjwa kwenye mikeka ili kuwapeleka mahali popote waliposikia kuwa Yesu yupo.
And ran through that whole surrounding region, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard 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 wherever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made well.
