Luka 8
1 Ilitokea muda mfupi baadaye kwamba Yesu alianza kusafiri katika miji na jiji mbalimbali, akihubiri na kutangaza habari njema ya ufalme wa Mungu na wale kumi wawili walikwenda pamoja naye,
And it came to pass that he traveled through, by city and village in succession, announcing and preaching the good news of the kingdom of God, and the twelve men with him,
2 vilevile wanawake fulani waliokuwa wameponywa kutoka kwa roho wachafu na magonjwa mbalimbali. Walikuwa ni Mariamu aliyeitwa Magdalena ambaye alikuwa ametolewa pepo saba.
and certain women who were healed from evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
3 Yoana mke wa Kuza na meneja wa Herode, Susana, na wanawake wengine wengi, waliotoa mali vyao kwa ajili yao wenyewe.
and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many other women who served them from the things they possessed.
4 Nabaada ya umati wa watu kukusanyika pamoja, wakiwemo na watu waliokuja kwake kutoka miji mbalimbali, akazungumza nao kwa kutumia mifano.
And when a large multitude gathered together, and those coming to him from each city, he spoke by a parable.
5 “mpandaji alienda kupanda mbegu, alipokuwa apanda, baadhi ya mbegu hizo ziliangukia kando ya njia zikakanyagwa chini ya miguu, na ndege wa angani wakazila.
The man who sows went forth to sow his seed. And during his sowing, some fell by the way, and it was trampled, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6 Mbegu zingine zilianguka juu ya udongo wa miamba na zilipoota na kuwa miche zilipooza kwa sababu hakukuwa na unyevunyevu.
And another fell on the rock, and having grown, it withered away because of not having moisture.
7 Mbegu zingine ziliangukia kwenye miti ya miiba, nayo hiyo miti ya miiba ikakua pamoja na zile mbegu na zikasongwa.
And another fell amidst the thorns, and having grown together, the thorns choked it.
8 Lakini mbegu zingine ziliangukia kwenye udongo unaofaa na zikazaa mazao mara mia zaidi. “Baada ya Yesu kusema mambo haya, alipaza sauti,”Yeyote aliye na masikio ya kusikia na asikie.”
And another fell on the good ground, and having grown it produced fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things, he called out, He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
9 Tena wanafunzi wake wakamuuliza maana ya mfano huo,
And his disciples questioned him, saying, What is this parable?
10 Yesu akawaambia, “Mmepewa upendeleo wa kujua siri ya ufalme wa Mungu, lakini watu wengine watafundishwa tu kwa mifano, ili kwamba 'wakiona wasione na wakisikia wasielewe.'
And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the others in parables, so that seeing they would not see, and hearing they would not understand.
11 Na hii ndiyo maana ya mfano huu. Mbegu ni neno la Mungu.
Now the parable is this. The seed is the word of God.
12 Mbegu zile zilizoanguka kando kando ya njia ndiyo wale watu wanaolisikia neno, na baadaye mwovu shetani hulichukua mbali kutoka moyoni, ili kwamba wasiamini na kuokolewa.
And those by the way are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, lest having believed, they would be saved.
13 Kisha na zile zilizoangukia kwenye mwamba ni watu wale wanaosikia neno na kulipokea kwa furaha lakini hawana mizizi yeyote, wanaamini tu kwa muda mfupi, na wakati wa majaribu huanguka.
And those on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy. And these have no root, who believe for a time, and withdraw in time of trial.
14 Na mbegu zile zilizoangukia kwenye miiba ni watu wanaosikia neno, lakini wanapoendelea kukua husongwa na huduma na utajiri na ubora wa maisha haya na hawazai matunda.
And that which fell in the thorns, these are those who heard, and as they go they are choked by cares and wealth and pleasures of life, and do not bring to maturity.
15 Lakini zile mbegu zilizoangukia kwenye udongo mzuri ni wale watu, ambao ni wanyeyekevu na mioyo mizuri, baada ya kulisikia neno hulishikilia na likawa salama na kuazaa matunda ya uvumilivu.
But those in the good ground, these are those who in an good and right heart, having heard the word, hold it firm, and bring forth fruit in perseverance.
16 Sasa, hakuna hata mmoja, anayewasha taa na kuifunika kwa bakuli au kuiweka chini ya kitanda. Badala ya kuiweka kwenye kinara cha taa ili kwamba kila mmoja anayeingia apate kuiona.
And no man, having lit a lamp, covers it with a container, or places it under a bed, but places it on a lampstand, so that those who enter in may see the light.
17 Kwa kuwa hakuna kitakachojificha ambacho hakitajulikana, au chochote kilicho sirini ambacho hakitajulikana kikiwa kwenye mwanga.
For there is no secret that will not become visible, nor hid, that will not be known and come to be visible.
18 kwa hiyo kuwa makini unapokuwa unasikiliza. Kwa sababu aliye nacho, kwake ataongezewa zaidi, lakini asiye nacho hata kile kidogo alicho nacho kitachukuliwa.”
Notice therefore how ye hear. For whoever has, to him will be given, and whoever has not, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.
19 baadaye mama yake Yesu na ndugu zake wakaja kwake hawakaribia kwa sababu ya umati wa watu.
And his mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him because of the crowd.
20 Na akataarifiwa, “Mama yako na ndugu zako wako pale nje wanahitaji kukuona wewe.
And it was reported to him, saying, Thy mother and thy brothers stand outside, desiring to see thee.
21 Lakini, Yesu akajibu akasema “Mama yangu na ndugu zangu ni wale wanaolisikia neno la Mungu na kulitii.”
But having answered, he said to them, My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.
22 Ilitokea siku moja kati ya siku zile Yesu na wanafunzi wake alipanda kwenye mtumbwi, na akawaambia, “Na tuvuke ng'ambo ya pili ya ziwa.” Wakaandaa mashua yao.
Now it came to pass on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, also his disciples. And he said to them, Let us pass through to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth,
23 Lakini walipoanza kuondoka, Yesu akalala usingizi, na dhoruba kali yenye upepo, na mashua yao ikaanza kujaa maji na walikuwa kwenye katika kubwa sana.
but as they sailed he began to asleep. And a storm of wind came down on the lake, and they were filling up, and were in peril.
24 baadaye wanafunzi wake wakaja kwake na kumwamsha, wakisema, “Bwana mkubwa! Bwana mkubwa! tuko karibu kufa!” Akaamka na akaukemea upepo na mawimbi ya maji vikatulia na kukawa na utulivu.
And having approached, they awoke him, saying, Master, master, we are perishing. And having risen, he rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it became calm.
25 Tena akawaambia, “Imani yenu iko wapi?” Wakaogopa, Walishangaa, wakasemezana kia mmoja na mwenzake,”Huyu ni nani, kiasi kwamba anaamuru hata upepo, na maji na humtii?”
And he said to them, Where is your faith? And having feared, they wondered, saying to each other, Who then is this man, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?
26 Wakafika kwenye mji wa Gerasini iliyo upande wa nyuma ya Galilaya.
And they sailed toward the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 Yesu aliposhuka na kukanya kwenye ardhi, mtu fulani kutoka mjini, akakutana naye, na huyu mtu alikuwa na nguvu za giza. Kwa muda mrefu alikuwa havai nguo, na alikuwa haishi kwenye Nyumba, lakini aliishi kwenye makaburi.
And when he came forth upon the land, a certain man met him out of the city, who had demons of a considerable time. And he wore no clothing, and did not dwell in a house, but in the sepulchers.
28 Alipomwona Yesu akalia kwa sauti, na akaanguka chini mbele yake. kwa sauti kubwa akisema, Nimefanya nini kwako, Yesu mwana wa Mungu aliye juu? Nakusihi, Usiniadhibu mimi”
And when he saw Jesus, having cried out, he fell down before him. And in a great voice he said, What is with me and with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.
29 Yesu akaamuru roho chafu imtoke mtu yule, kwa kuwa mara nyingi amepamgaa. hata kama alikuwa amefungwa minyororo na kubanwa na kuwekwa chini ya ulinzi, alivunja vifungo na kuendeshwa na mapepo mpaka jangwani.
For he commanded the unclean spirit to come out from the man, for many times it had seized him. And he was bound with chains and shackles, and guarded. And breaking the bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the desolate regions.
30 Yesu akamwuliza, “Jina lako nani?” akajibu akisema, “Legioni” Kwa maana mapepo mengi yameingia kwake.
And Jesus demanded him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion, because many demons were entered into him.
And they entreated him that he would not command them to go out into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Kundi la Nguruwe lilikuwa likichunga juu ya kilima, wakamsihi awaruhusu wakaingie kwa hao nguruwe. Na akawaruhusu kufanya hivyo.
Now a herd of considerable swine was there feeding on the mountain, and they implored him that he would allow them to enter into those. And he allowed them.
33 kwa hiyo wale mapepo wakamtoka mtu yule na kuingia kwa wale nguruwe, na lile kundi likakimbia kwenye mwinuko wa mlima mpaka ziwani na wakazama humo.
And the demons having come out from the man, they entered into the swine. And the herd stampeded down the slope into the lake, and were drowned.
34 wale watu waliokuwa wanachunga wale nguruwe walipoona kilichotokea, wakakimbia na wakatoa taarifa pale mjini na nje katika miji iliyowazunguka.
And when those who tended them saw what happened, they fled and reported it in the city and in the fields.
35 Watu waliposikia hayo walienda kuona kilichotokea, na wakaja kwa Yesu na wakamwona mtu ambaye mapepo yalikuwa yamemtoka. alikuwa amevaa vizuri na mwenye akili timamu, amekaa kwenye miguu ya Yesu, na waliogopa.
And they came out to see what happened. And they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the demons had gone out, sitting near the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.
36 ndipo mmoja wao aliyeona kilichotokea alianza kuwasimlia wengine jinsi huyu mtu aliyekuwa anaongozwa na mapepo alivyoponywa.
And also those who saw it informed them how the man who was demon-possessed was saved.
37 Watu wote wa mkoa wa Wagerasi na maeneo yaliyozunguka walimwomba Yesu aondoke kwao kwa sababu walikuwa na hofu kuu. Na aliingia kwenye mtumbwi ili arudi.
And the whole multitude of the region around the Gadarenes besought him to depart from them, because they were gripped by great fear. And he, having embarked into the boat, returned.
38 Mtu yule aliyetokwa na pepo alimsihi Yesu kwenda naye, lakini Yesu alimwambia aende na kusema,
But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him to be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 “Rudi kwenye nyumba yako na uhesabu yale yote ambayo Mungu amekutendea” Huyu mtu aliondoka, akitangaza pote katika mji wote yale yote ambayo Yesu aliyofanya kwa ajili yake.
Return to thy house, and relate everything God did for thee. And he departed, proclaiming throughout the whole city how many things Jesus did for him.
40 Na Yesu akarudi, makutano wakamkaribisha, kwa sababu wote walikuwa wanamngoja.
And it came to pass during Jesus returning, the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41 Tazama akaja mtu mmoja anaitwa Yairo ni mmoja kati ya viongozi katika sinagogi. Yairo akaanguka miguuni pa Yesu na kumsihi aende nyumbani kwake,
And behold, there came a man whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And having fallen down near Jesus' feet, he besought him to come into his house,
42 kwa sababu alikuwa na mtoto msichana mmoja tu, mwenye umri wa miaka kumi na wibili, na alikuwa katika hali ya kufa. Na alipokuwa akienda, makutano walikuwa wakisongama dhidi yake.
because there was with him an only begotten daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But during his going the multitudes thronged him.
43 Mwanamke mwenye kutokwa damu kwa miaka kumi na miwili alikuwa pale na alitumia pesa zote kwa waganga, lakini hakuna aliyemponya hata mmoja,
And a woman being with an issue of blood for twelve years, who, although she spent her entire living on physicians, was unable to be healed by any,
44 alikuja nyuma ya yesu na kugusa pindo la vazi lake, na ghafla kutokwa damu kukakoma.
having come from behind, she touched the border of his garment. And immediately the issue of her blood stayed.
45 Yesu akasema, “Nani ambaye kanigusa?” Walipokataa wote, Petro akasema, Bwana Mkubwa, umati wa watu wanakusukuma na wanakusonga.”
And Jesus said, Who is he who touched me? But when they all denied, Peter and those with him, said, Master, the multitudes come together and crowd thee, and thou say, Who is he who touched me?
46 Lakini Yesu akasema, “Mtu mmoja alinigusa, maana nilijua nguvu zimetoka kwangu.”
But Jesus said, Who touched me? For I perceived power having gone forth from me.
47 Mwanamke alipoona ya kuwa hawezi kuficha alichokifanya, akaanza kutetemeka, akaanguka chini mbele za Yesu alitangaza mbele ya watu wote sababu zilizofanya amguse na vile alivyoponywa gafla.
And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling. And having fallen down before him, she declared to him in the presence of all the people for what reason she touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 Kisha akasema kwake, “Binti, imani yako imekufanya uwe mzima. Enenda kwa Amani.”
And he said to her, Cheer up, Daughter. Thy faith has healed thee. Go in peace.
49 Alipokuwa akiendelea kusema, mtu mmoja akaja kutoka kwenye nyumba ya kiongozi wa sinagogi, akisema, “Binti yako amefariki. Usimsumbue mwalimu.”
While he still spoke, some man comes from the synagogue ruler, saying to him, Thy daughter has died. Do not trouble the teacher.
50 Lakini Yesu aliposikia hivyo, alimjibu, “Usiogope. Amini tu, na ataokolewa.”
But having heard it, Jesus answered him, saying, Fear not, only believe and she will be saved.
51 Kisha alipoingia kwenye hiyo nyumba, hakuruhusu mtu yeyote kuingia pamoja naye, isipokuwa Petro, Yohana na Yakobo, baba yake binti, na mama yake.
And when he came to the house, he did not allow any man to enter in except Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl and the mother.
52 Sasa watu wote walikuwa wanaomboleza na kutoa sauti kwa ajili yake, lakini akasema, “Msipige kelele, hajafa, lakini amelala tu.”
And all were weeping and bewailing her. But he said, Weep not. She did not die, but sleeps.
53 Lakini wakamcheka kwa dharau, wakijua kuwa amekufa.
And they ridiculed him, knowing that she died.
54 Lakini Yeye, akimshika binti mkono, akaita kwa sauti, akisema, “Mtoto, inuka”
But having sent them all away outside, having taken her by the hand, he called out, saying, Girl, awake.
55 roho yake ikamrudia, na akainuka wakati huohuo. Akaamrisha kwamba, apewe kitu furani kwa ili ale.
And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. And he commanded to give her to eat.
56 Wazazi wake wakashangaa, lakini aliwaamuru wasimwambie mtu kilichokuwa kimetokea.
And her parents were amazed, but he ordered them to tell no man that which happened.
