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, there came to him a leper and worshipped 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 he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway 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 unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
5 Yesu alipoingia Kapernaumu, jemadari mmoja alimjia, kumwomba msaada,
And when he was entered into Capernaum, there came unto 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 in the house sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
7 Yesu akamwambia, “Nitakuja na kumponya.”
And he saith unto 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 answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come 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 under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, 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 when Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not 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 unto 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 sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer darkness: there shall be the 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 unto the centurion, Go thy way; as thou hast believed, [so] be it done unto thee. And the servant was healed in that 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 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 unto him.
16 Jioni ile, wakamletea watu wengi waliopagawa na pepo wachafu, naye akawatoa wale pepo wachafu kwa neno lake, na kuwaponya wagonjwa wote.
And when even was come, they brought unto him many possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick:
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 Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our diseases.
18 Yesu alipoona makutano mengi wamemzunguka, aliwaamuru wanafunzi wake wavuke mpaka ngʼambo ya ziwa.
Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.
19 Kisha mwalimu mmoja wa sheria akamjia Yesu na kumwambia, “Mwalimu, nitakufuata kokote uendako.”
And there came a scribe, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
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 unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven [have] 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 the disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
22 Lakini Yesu akamwambia, “Nifuate, uwaache wafu wawazike wafu wao.”
But Jesus saith unto him, Follow me; and leave the dead to bury their own dead.
23 Naye alipoingia kwenye mashua, wanafunzi wake wakamfuata.
And when he was entered into a boat, his disciples followed him.
24 Ghafula, kukainuka dhoruba kali baharini hata mashua ikaanza kufunikwa na mawimbi, lakini Yesu alikuwa amelala usingizi.
And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
25 Wanafunzi wake wakamwendea na kumwamsha, wakisema, “Bwana, tuokoe! Tunazama!”
And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Save, Lord; 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 he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
27 Wale watu wakashangaa, wakisema, “Ni mtu wa namna gani huyu? Hata upepo na mawimbi vinamtii!”
And the men marveled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even 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 to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming forth out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man 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, thou 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.
Now there was afar off from them a 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, send us away 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 unto them, Go. And they came out, and went into the swine: and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep into the sea, and 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 fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, and what was befallen to them that were possessed with devils.
34 Kisha watu wote wa mji huo wakatoka kwenda kukutana na Yesu. Nao walipomwona wakamsihi aondoke kwenye nchi yao.
And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought [him] that he would depart from their borders.
