Marko 6
1 Yesu akaondoka huko na kwenda mji wa kwao, akiwa amefuatana na wanafunzi wake.
And He went out from thence, and came into his own country, and his disciples attended 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 astonished, and said, From whence hath He these things? and what is this wisdom which is given unto Him, that even such mighty things 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 the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here among us? and they were prejudiced against 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 unto them, A prophet is nowhere less honoured, than in his own country, and among his relations, and his own family.
5 Hakufanya miujiza yoyote huko isipokuwa kuweka mikono yake juu ya wagonjwa wachache na kuwaponya.
And He could do no miracle there, only laying his hands on a few sick people He healed them;
6 Naye akashangazwa sana kwa jinsi wasivyokuwa na imani. Kisha Yesu akawa anakwenda kutoka kijiji kimoja hadi kingine akifundisha.
and He was amazed at their unbelief. But he went about all the villages round, teaching.
7 Akawaita wale kumi na wawili, akawatuma wawili wawili, na kuwapa mamlaka kutoa pepo wachafu.
And He calleth unto Him the twelve, and sent them forth two and two, and gave them power over impure spirits;
8 Akawaagiza akisema, “Msichukue chochote kwa ajili ya safari isipokuwa fimbo tu. Msichukue mkate, wala mkoba, wala fedha kwenye mikanda yenu.
and ordered them to take nothing for their journey, but a staff only; no bag, nor bread, nor money in their purse:
9 Vaeni viatu, lakini msivae nguo ya ziada.”
but to tie on their sandals, and not to put on two coats.
10 Akawaambia, “Mkiingia kwenye nyumba yoyote, kaeni humo hadi mtakapoondoka katika mji huo.
And He said unto them, wheresoever ye enter into a house, there stay till ye leave that place.
11 Kama mahali popote hawatawakaribisha wala kuwasikiliza, mtakapoondoka huko, kungʼuteni mavumbi kutoka kwenye miguu yenu ili kuwa ushuhuda dhidi yao.”
And whosoever will not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in the day of judgement, than for that city.
12 Kwa hiyo wakatoka na kuhubiri kwamba inawapasa watu kutubu na kuacha dhambi.
And they went forth, 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, John the baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore miraculous powers appear in him.
15 Wengine wakasema, “Yeye ni Eliya.” Nao wengine wakasema, “Yeye ni nabii, kama mmojawapo wa wale manabii wa zamani.”
Others said, it is Elias: and others said, it is a prophet, or like 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 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 had sent and seized John, and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because 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,
Wherefore Herodias persecuted him, and would have taken away his life:
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.
but could not; for Herod revered John, knowing him to be a just and holy man, and protected him: and when he heard him he did many things according to John's instructions, and heard him willingly.
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 a convenient day happening, when Herod on his birth-night gave a supper to his lords, and chief officers, and persons of distinction in Galilee; and the daughter of Herodias coming in,
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 dancing, and having pleased Herod and his guests, the king said to the young princess, 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 gave her his oath too, whatever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, even 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 withdrew and consulted her mother, what to 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 immediately she came in again with eagerness to the king, and said, I desire that thou wouldst give me directly the head of John the baptist in a dish.
26 Mfalme akasikitika sana, lakini kwa sababu alikuwa ameapa viapo mbele ya wageni wake, hakutaka kumkatalia.
And the king was exceedingly grieved, but on account of his oath, and those who were at table with him, he would not refuse her: but immediately sent one of his guard,
27 Mara mfalme akatuma askari mmojawapo wa walinzi wake kukileta kichwa cha Yohana. Akaenda na kumkata Yohana kichwa humo gerezani,
and ordered his head to be brought:
28 akakileta kichwa chake kwenye sinia na kumpa yule msichana, naye yule msichana akampa mama yake.
and he went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a dish, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel carried it to her mother.
29 Wanafunzi wa Yohana walipopata habari hizi, wakaja na kuuchukua mwili wake, wakauzika kaburini.
And his disciples hearing of it, came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a sepulchre.
30 Wale mitume wakakusanyika kwa Yesu na kumpa taarifa ya mambo yote waliyokuwa wamefanya na kufundisha.
And the apostles came 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 apart into a retired place, and rest a little: for there were many coming and going, and they had not time even to eat.
32 Hivyo wakaondoka kwa mashua peke yao, wakaenda mahali pasipo na watu.
And they went away privately in a ship into a desert place.
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 took notice of them, and ran thither on foot from all the cities, and got before them, and came together unto 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 when Jesus came out of the ship, He saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them; because they were as sheep without 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 it was now late in the day, his disciples came to Him, and said, this is a desert place, and it is now late:
36 Waage watu ili waende mashambani na vijijini jirani, wakajinunulie chakula.”
dismiss them, that they may go into the country-places and villages round about, 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?”
But He answered them, Do ye give them something to eat. And they say to Him, shall we go and buy two hundred penny-worth of bread, and give them to eat?
38 Akawauliza, “Kuna mikate mingapi? Nendeni mkaangalie.” Walipokwisha kujua wakarudi, wakamwambia, “Kuna mikate mitano na samaki wawili.”
But He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they had examined, they said, Five, and two fishes.
39 Kisha Yesu akawaamuru wawaketishe watu makundi makundi kwenye majani,
And He ordered them to cause all the people to sit down by companies upon the grass:
40 nao wakaketi kwenye makundi ya watu mia mia na wengine hamsini hamsini.
and they sat down in an oblong square, an hundred by fifty.
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 gave thanks; then He brake the loaves and gave them to his disciples, to set before them; the two fishes likewise He divided among them all.
42 Watu wote wakala, wakashiba.
And they did all eat and were fully satisfied.
43 Nao wanafunzi wake wakakusanya vipande vilivyosalia vya mikate na samaki, wakajaza vikapu kumi na viwili.
And they took up of the fragments of the bread, and of the fishes, twelve baskets full.
44 Idadi ya wanaume waliokula walikuwa 5,000.
And they that had eaten 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 obliged his disciples to get into the ship, and to go before Him to the other side to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the people:
46 Baada ya kuwaaga wale watu, akaenda mlimani kuomba.
and when He had sent them away, He retired into a mountain to pray.
47 Ilipofika jioni, ile mashua ilikuwa imefika katikati ya bahari, na Yesu alikuwa peke yake katika nchi kavu.
And when the evening was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and He alone upon 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 labouring in rowing; (for the wind was contrary: ) 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 they seeing Him walking upon the water, thought it was an apparition, and cried out: for they all saw Him and were frighted.
50 kwa sababu wote walipomwona waliogopa. Mara Yesu akasema nao, akawaambia, “Jipeni moyo! Ni mimi. Msiogope!”
And He immediately spake to them, and saith, Be of good courage, it is I, be not afraid.
51 Akapanda ndani ya mashua nao, na ule upepo ukakoma! Wakashangaa kabisa,
And He went up into the ship to them, and the wind ceased, and they were exceedingly amazed in themselves, and wondered: not considering the miracle of the loaves,
52 kwa kuwa walikuwa hawajaelewa kuhusu ile mikate. Mioyo yao ilikuwa migumu.
for their heart was stupified.
53 Walipokwisha kuvuka, wakafika nchi ya Genesareti, wakatia nanga.
And they passed over and came to the country of Gennesaret, and put to shore:
54 Mara waliposhuka kutoka mashua yao, watu wakamtambua Yesu.
and when they came out of the ship, immediately the people knew Him, and ran through all the country,
55 Wakaenda katika vijiji vyote upesi, wakawabeba wagonjwa kwenye mikeka ili kuwapeleka mahali popote waliposikia kuwa Yesu yupo.
and carried 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 came into their towns, or cities, or villages, they laid the sick in the streets, and intreated Him that they might but touch the border of his garment, and as many as touched it were healed.
