Marko 10
1 Yesu aliondoka eneo hilo na akaenda katika mkoa wa Uyahudi na eneo la mbele ya Mto Yorodani, na makutano walimfuata tena. Aliwafundisha tena, kama ilivyokuwa kawaida yake kufanya.
And he arose from there, and cometh into the region of Judaea by the other side of Jordan: and the people resort to him again; and, as he was accustomed, he taught them again.
2 Na Mafarisayo walikuja kumjaribu na wakamuuliza, “Ni halali kwa mwanamume kuachana na mke wake?”
And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.
3 Yesu akawajibu, “Musa aliwaamuru nini?”
And he answered and said to them, What did Moses command you?
4 Wakasema, “Musa aliruhusu kuandika cheti cha kuachana na kisha kumfukuza mwanamke.”
And they said, Moses permitted to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
5 “Ni kwa sababu ya mioyo yenu migumu ndiyo maana aliwaandikia sheria hii,” Yesu aliwaambia.
And Jesus answered and said to them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
6 “Lakini kutoka mwanzo wa uumbaji, 'Mungu aliwaumba mwanamume na mwanamke.'
But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 Kwa sababu hii mwanamume atamwacha baba yake na mama yake na ataungana na mke wake,
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8 na hao wawili watakuwa mwili mmoja; Kwa kuwa si wawili tena, bali mwili mmoja.
And they two shall be one flesh: so then they are no more two, but one flesh.
9 Kwa hiyo alichokiunganisha Mungu, mwanadamu asikitenganishe.”
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man separate.
10 Walipokuwa ndani ya nyumba, wanafunzi wake wakamwuliza tena kuhusu hili.
And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.
11 Akawaambia, “Yeyote amwachaye mke wake na kumwoa mwanamke mwingine, anafanya uzinzi dhidi yake.
And he saith to them, Whoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
12 Mwanamke naye akimwacha mme wake na kuolewa na mwanamme mwingine, anafanya uzinzi.”
And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
13 Nao walimletea watoto wao wadogo ili awaguse, lakini wanafunzi wakawakemea.
And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
14 Lakini Yesu alipotambua hilo, hakufurahishwa nalo kabisa akawaambia, “Waruhusuni watoto wadogo waje kwangu, na msiwazuie, kwa sababu walio kama hawa ufalme wa Mungu ni wao.
But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said to them, Permit the little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Ukweli nawaambia, yeyote asiyeupokea ufalme wa Mungu kama mtoto mdogo hakika hawezi kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu.
Verily I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter it.
16 Kisha akawachukua watoto mikononi mwake na akawabariki akiwawekea mikono yake juu yao.
And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
17 Na alipoanza safari yake mtu mmoja alimkimbilia na akapiga magoti mbele yake, akamwuliza, “Mwalimu Mwema, nifanye nini ili niweze kurithi uzima ya milele?” (aiōnios g166)
And when he had gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
18 Na Yesu akasema, “Kwa nini unaniita mwema? Hakuna aliye mwema, isipokuwa Mungu peke yake.
And Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
19 Unazijua amri: 'Usiue, usizini, usiibe, usishuhudie uongo, usidanganye, mheshimu baba na mama yako'.”
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
20 Mtu yule akasema, “Mwalimu, haya yote nimeyatii tangu nikiwa kijana.”
And he answered and said to him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
21 Yesu alimwangalia na kumpenda. Akawambia, “Unapungukiwa kitu kimoja. Unapaswa kuuza vyote ulivyo navyo na uwape masikini, na utakuwa na hazina mbinguni. Ndipo uje unifuate.”
Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said to him, One thing thou lackest: go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
22 Lakini alikata tamaa kwa sababu ya maelezo haya; aliondoka akiwa mwenye huzuni, kwa kuwa alikuwa na mali nyingi.
And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
23 Yesu akatazama pande zote na kuwaambia wanafunzi wake, “Ni jinsi gani ilivyo vigumu kwa tajiri kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu!
And Jesus looked around, and saith to his disciples, How hard it shall be for them that have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
24 Wanafunzi walishangazwa kwa maneno haya. Lakini Yesu akawaambia tena, “Watoto, ni jinsi gani ilivyo vigumu kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu!
And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith to them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
25 Ni rahisi kwa ngamia kupita kwenye tundu la sindano, kuliko mtu tajiri kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu.”
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Walishangazwa sana na wakasemezana, “Hivyo nani ataokoka”
And they were astonished beyond measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
27 Yesu akawaangalia na kusema, “Kwa binadamu haiwezekani, lakini sio kwa Mungu. Kwa kuwa katika Mungu yote yanawezekana.”
And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
28 “Petro akaanza kuzungumza naye, “Angalia tumeacha vyote na tumekufuata.”
Then Peter began to say to him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
29 Yesu akasema, “Ukweli nawaambia ninyi, hakuna aliyeacha nyumba, au kaka, au dada, au mama, au baba, au watoto, au ardhi, kwa ajili yangu, na kwa ajili ya Injili,
Jesus answered and said, Verily I say to you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s,
31 Lakini wengi walio wa kwanza watakuwa wa mwisho na walio wa mwisho watakuwa wa kwanza.”
But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
32 Walipokuwa njiani, kwenda Yerusalemu, Yesu alikuwa amewatangulia mbele yao. Wanafunzi walishangaa, na wale waliokuwa wanafuata nyuma waliogopa. Ndipo Yesu akawatoa pembeni tena wale kumi na wawili na akaanza kuwaambia ambacho kitamtokea hivi karibuni:
And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen to him,
33 “Tazama, tunakwenda mpaka Yerusalemu, na Mwana wa Adamu atafikishwa kwa makuhani wakuu na waandishi. Watamhukumu afe na watamtoa kwa watu wa Mataifa.
Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
34 Watamdhihaki, watamtemea mate, watampiga fimbo, na watamwua. Lakini baada ya siku tatu atafufuka.”
And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
35 Yakobo na Yohana, wana wa Zebedayo, walikuja kwake na kusema, “Mwalimu, tunakuhitaji utufanyie chochote tukuombacho.”
And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatever we shall desire.
36 Aliwaambia, “Mnataka niwatendee nini?”
And he said to them, What would ye that I should do for you?
37 Wakasema, “Turuhusu tukae nawe katika utukufu wako, mmoja katika mkono wako wa kuume na mwingine mkono wako wa kushoto.”
They said to him, Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.
38 Lakini Yesu aliwajibu, “Hamjui mnachoomba. Mnaweza kukinywea kikombe ambacho nitakiywea au kustahimili ubatizo ambao nitabatizwa?”
But Jesus said to them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
39 Wakamwambia, “Tunaweza” Yesu akawaambia, “Kikombe nitakachokinywea, mtakinywea. Na ubatizo ambao kwao nimebatizwa, mtaustahimili.
And they said to him, We can. And Jesus said to them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized with shall ye be baptized:
40 Lakini atakayekaa mkono wangu wa kuume au mkono wangu wa kushoto sio mimi wa kutoa, lakini ni kwa wale ambao kwao imekwisha andaliwa.”
But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.
41 Wale wanafunzi wengine kumi waliposikia haya, wakaanza kuwakasirikia Yakobo na Yohana.
And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.
42 Yesu akawaita kwake na kusema, “Mnajua kuwa wale wanaodhaniwa kuwa watawala wa watu wa Mataifa huwatawala, na watu wao mashuhuri huwaonyesha mamlaka juu yao.”
But Jesus called them, and saith to them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.
43 Lakini haipaswi kuwa hivi kati yenu. Yeyote atakaye kuwa mkubwa kati yenu lazima awatumikie,
But so it shall not be among you: but whoever would be great among you, shall be your minister:
44 na yeyote atakaye kuwa wa kwanza kati yenu ni lazima awe mtumwa wa wote.
And whoever of you would be the chief, shall be servant of all.
45 Kwa kuwa Mwana wa Adamu hakuja kutumikiwa bali kutumika, na kuyatoa maisha yake kuwa fidia kwa wengi.”
For even the Son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
46 Wakaja Yeriko. Alipokuwa akiondoka Yeriko na wanafunzi wake na kundi kubwa, mwana wa Timayo, Batimayo, kipofu mwombaji, alikaa kando ya barabara.
And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the way side begging.
47 Aliposikia kuwa ni Yesu Mnazareti, alianza kupiga kelele na kusema, “Yesu, Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!”
And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
48 Wengi walimkemea yule kipofu, wakimwambia anyamaze. Lakini alilia kwa sauti zaidi, “Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!”
And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
49 Yesu alisimama na kuamuru aitwe. Walimwita yule kipofu, wakisema, “Kuwa shujaa! Inuka! Yesu anakuita.”
And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
50 Akalitupa pembeni koti lake, akakimbia zaidi, na kuja kwa Yesu.
And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
51 Yesu akamjibu na kusema, “Unataka nikufanyie nini?” Yule mwanaume kipofu akamjibu, “Mwalimu, ninataka kuona.”
And Jesus answered and said to him, What wilt thou that I should do to thee? The blind man said to him, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
52 Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda. Imani yako imekuponya.” Hapo hapo macho yake yakaona; na akamfuata Yesu barabarani.
And Jesus said to him, Go; thy faith hath made thee well. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
