Mathayo 8
1 Yesu aliposhuka kutoka mlimani, makutano makubwa ya watu yakamfuata.
And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him:
2 Mtu mmoja mwenye ukoma akaja na kupiga magoti mbele yake, akasema, “Bwana, kama ukitaka, unaweza kunitakasa.”
And behold a leper came and adored him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
3 Yesu akanyoosha mkono wake akamgusa yule mtu, akamwambia, “Nataka. Takasika!” Mara yule mtu akatakasika ukoma wake.
And Jesus stretching forth his hand, touched him, saying: I will, be thou made clean. And forthwith his leprosy was cleansed.
4 Kisha Yesu akamwambia, “Hakikisha humwambii mtu yeyote. Lakini nenda ukajionyeshe kwa kuhani, na utoe sadaka aliyoamuru Mose, ili kuwa ushuhuda kwao.”
And Jesus saith to him: See thou tell no man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded for a testimony unto them.
5 Yesu alipoingia Kapernaumu, jemadari mmoja alimjia, kumwomba msaada,
And when he had entered into Capharnaum, there came to him a centurion, beseeching him,
6 akisema, “Bwana, mtumishi wangu amelala nyumbani na amepooza, tena ana maumivu makali ya kutisha.”
And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, and is grieviously tormented.
7 Yesu akamwambia, “Nitakuja na kumponya.”
And Jesus saith to him: I will come and heal him.
8 Lakini yule jemadari akamwambia, “Bwana, mimi sistahili wewe kuingia chini ya dari yangu. Lakini sema neno tu, naye mtumishi wangu atapona.
And the centurion making answer, said: Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof: but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
9 Kwa kuwa mimi mwenyewe ni mtu niliyewekwa chini ya mamlaka, nikiwa na askari chini yangu. Nikimwambia huyu, ‘Nenda,’ yeye huenda; na mwingine nikimwambia, ‘Njoo,’ yeye huja. Nikimwambia mtumishi wangu, ‘Fanya hivi,’ yeye hufanya.”
For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers; and I say to this, Go, and he goeth, and to another, Come, and he cometh, and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
10 Yesu aliposikia maneno haya, alishangaa, akawaambia wale waliomfuata, “Amin, nawaambia, hata katika Israeli sijapata kuona yeyote mwenye imani kubwa namna hii.
And Jesus hearing this, marvelled; and said to them that followed him: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith in Israel.
11 Ninawaambia kwamba wengi watatoka mashariki na magharibi, nao wataketi karamuni pamoja na Abrahamu, Isaki na Yakobo katika Ufalme wa Mbinguni.
And I say to you that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven:
12 Lakini warithi wa Ufalme watatupwa katika giza la nje, ambako kutakuwako kilio na kusaga meno.”
But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13 Kisha Yesu akamwambia yule jemadari, “Nenda na iwe kwako sawasawa na imani yako.” Naye yule mtumishi akapona saa ile ile.
And Jesus said to the centurion: Go, and as thou hast believed, so be it done to thee. And the servant was healed at the same hour.
14 Yesu alipoingia nyumbani kwa Petro, alimkuta mama mkwe wa Petro amelala kitandani, akiwa ana homa.
And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying, and sick of a fever:
15 Akamgusa mkono wake na homa ikamwacha, naye akainuka na kuanza kumhudumia.
And he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose and ministered to them.
16 Jioni ile, wakamletea watu wengi waliopagawa na pepo wachafu, naye akawatoa wale pepo wachafu kwa neno lake, na kuwaponya wagonjwa wote.
And when evening was come, they brought to him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word: and all that were sick he healed:
17 Haya yalifanyika ili litimie lile lililonenwa kwa kinywa cha nabii Isaya kwamba: “Mwenyewe alitwaa udhaifu wetu na alichukua magonjwa yetu.”
That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the prophet Isaias, saying: He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases.
18 Yesu alipoona makutano mengi wamemzunguka, aliwaamuru wanafunzi wake wavuke mpaka ngʼambo ya ziwa.
And Jesus seeing great multitudes about him, gave orders to pass over the water.
19 Kisha mwalimu mmoja wa sheria akamjia Yesu na kumwambia, “Mwalimu, nitakufuata kokote uendako.”
And a certain scribe came and said to him: Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou shalt go.
20 Naye Yesu akamjibu, “Mbweha wana mapango, nao ndege wa angani wana viota, lakini Mwana wa Adamu hana mahali pa kulaza kichwa chake.”
And Jesus saith to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests: but the son of man hath not where to lay his head.
21 Mwanafunzi mwingine akamwambia, “Bwana, niruhusu kwanza nikamzike baba yangu.”
And another of his disciples said to him: Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
22 Lakini Yesu akamwambia, “Nifuate, uwaache wafu wawazike wafu wao.”
But Jesus said to him: Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.
23 Naye alipoingia kwenye mashua, wanafunzi wake wakamfuata.
And when he entered into the boat, his disciples followed him:
24 Ghafula, kukainuka dhoruba kali baharini hata mashua ikaanza kufunikwa na mawimbi, lakini Yesu alikuwa amelala usingizi.
And behold a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was covered with waves, but he was asleep.
25 Wanafunzi wake wakamwendea na kumwamsha, wakisema, “Bwana, tuokoe! Tunazama!”
And they came to him, and awaked him, saying: Lord, save us, we perish.
26 Naye Yesu akawaambia, “Kwa nini mnaogopa, enyi wa imani haba?” Kisha akaamka na kukemea dhoruba na mawimbi, nako kukawa shwari kabisa.
And Jesus saith to them: Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith? Then rising up he commanded the winds, and the sea, and there came a great calm.
27 Wale watu wakashangaa, wakisema, “Ni mtu wa namna gani huyu? Hata upepo na mawimbi vinamtii!”
But the men wondered, saying: What manner of man is this, for the winds and the sea obey him?
28 Walipofika ngʼambo katika nchi ya Wagerasi, watu wawili waliopagawa na pepo wachafu walitoka makaburini nao wakakutana naye. Watu hawa walikuwa wakali mno kiasi kwamba hakuna mtu aliyeweza kupita njia ile.
And when he was come on the other side of the water, into the country of the Gerasens, there met him two that were possessed with devils, coming out of the sepulchres, exceeding fierce, so that none could pass by that way.
29 Wakapiga kelele, “Una nini nasi, Mwana wa Mungu? Umekuja hapa kututesa kabla ya wakati ulioamriwa?”
And behold they cried out, saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
30 Mbali kidogo kutoka pale walipokuwa, kulikuwa na kundi kubwa la nguruwe wakilisha.
And there was, not far from them, an herd of many swine feeding.
31 Wale pepo wachafu wakamsihi Yesu, “Ukitutoa humu, turuhusu twende kwenye lile kundi la nguruwe.”
And the devils besought him, saying: If thou cast us out hence, send us into the herd of swine.
32 Akawaambia, “Nendeni!” Hivyo wakatoka na kuwaingia wale nguruwe, nalo kundi lote likateremka gengeni kwa kasi, likaingia katika ziwa na kufa ndani ya maji.
And he said to them: Go. But they going out went into the swine, and behold the whole herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea: and they perished in the waters.
33 Wale watu waliokuwa wakiwachunga hao nguruwe wakakimbia wakaingia mjini, wakaeleza yote kuhusu yale yaliyowatokea wale waliokuwa wamepagawa na pepo wachafu.
And they that kept them fled: and coming into the city, told every thing, and concerning them that had been possessed by the devils.
34 Kisha watu wote wa mji huo wakatoka kwenda kukutana na Yesu. Nao walipomwona wakamsihi aondoke kwenye nchi yao.
And behold the whole city went out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their coasts.
