Marko 11
1 Wakati huo walipokuja Yerusalemu, walipokaribia Besthfage na Bethania, katika Mlima wa Mizeituni, Yesu aliwatuma wawili miongoni mwa wanafunzi wake
Now when they were approaching Jerusalem, near Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives,
2 na aliwaambia, “Nendeni katika kijiji kinachokabiliana nasi. Mara mtakapoingia humo, mtamkuta mwanapunda ambaye hajapandwa. Mfungueni na mmlete kwangu.
Jesus sent two of his disciples and told them. "Go to that village in front of you, and immediately on entering it you will find a colt tied, upon which no man has ever sat; untie him and bring him here.
3 Na kama yeyote akiwaambia, 'Kwa nini mnafanya hivi'?, mnapaswa kusema, 'Bwana anamhitaji na mara atamrudisha hapa'.”
And if any man asks you, ‘Why are you doing that?" answer, ‘The Lord has need of him, and he will immediately send him back.’"
4 Walikwenda na kumkuta mwanapunda amefungwa nje mlangoni kwenye mtaa ulio wazi, nao walimfungua.
So they went and found a colt tied outside a door, in the open street, and untied it.
5 Na baadhi ya watu walikuwa wamesimama pale na waliwaambia, “Mnafanya nini, kumfungua mwanapunda huyo?”
And some of the bystanders began to say to them, "What are you trying to do, untying that colt?"
6 Waliwaambia kama Yesu alivyowaambia, na watu wakawaacha waende.
So they answered them just as Jesus had told them, and they let them take it.
7 Wanafunzi wawili walimleta mwanapunda kwa Yesu na walitandika mavazi yao juu yake ili Yesu aweze kumpanda.
Then they brought the colt to Jesus, and when they had thrown cloaks upon it, Jesus seated himself on it.
8 Watu wengi wakatandika mavazi yao barabarani, na wengine wakatandika matawi waliyoyakata kutoka mashambani.
Then many spread their cloaks on the road, and others, soft leafy branches, which they had cut from the fields;
9 Wale waliokwenda mbele yake na wale waliomfuata walipiga kelele, “Hosana! Amebarikiwa anayekuja kwa jina la Bwana.
and those who went before him and those who came after kept shouting. "Hosanna! Blessed be He who comes in the name of the Lord!
10 Ubarikiwe ufalme unaokuja wa baba yetu Daudi! Hosana kwa aliye juu”
Blessed be the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna, in the highest!"
11 Ndipo Yesu aliingia Yerusalemu na alikwenda hekaluni na alitazama kila kitu. Sasa, wakati ulikuwa umeenda, alikwenda Bethania pamoja nao kumi na wawili.
Then he entered Jerusalem and went into the Temple, and after he had looked around at everything, as the hour was now late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
12 Siku iliyofuata, wakati walipokuwa wakirudi kutoka Bethania, alikuwa na njaa.
The next day after leaving Bethany he was hungry,
13 Na akaona mti wa mtini uliokuwa na majani kwa mbali, alikwenda kutazama kama angeweza kupata chochote juu yake. Na wakati alipokwenda kwa huo, hakupata chochote isipokuwa majani, kwa kuwa haikuwa majira ya mtini.
and seeing a fig tree in the distance full of leaves, he came to see if he could find anything on it, and found on it nothing but leaves (for it was not the time of figs).
14 Aliuambia, “Hakuna yeyote atakayekula tunda kutoka kwako tena”. Na wanafunzi wake wakasikia. (aiōn g165)
So, addressing the tree, he said, "Let no man ever more eat fruit from you." And the disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
15 Walikuja Yerusalemu, naye aliingia hekaluni na kuanza kuwatoa nje wauzaji na wanunuzi ndani ya hekalu. Alizipindua meza za wabadilishaji wa fedha na viti vya wale waliokuwa wakiuza njiwa.
Presently they reached Jerusalem, and, after entering the Temple courts, Jesus began to drive out those who were buying and selling there, and to upset the tables of the money-changers, and the stalls of those who sold doves,
16 Hakumruhusu yeyote kubeba chochote hekaluni kilichoweza kuuzwa.
and he would not allow any one to carry a vessel through the Temple courts, Then he began to teach.
17 Aliwafundisha na akasema, “Je haikuandikwa, 'nyumba yangu itaitwa nyumba ya sala kwa mataifa yote'? Lakini mmeifanya pango la wanyang'anyi”.
"Is it not written," he said, "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? But you have made it a den of robbers."
18 Makuhani wakuu na waandishi walisikia alivyokuwa amesema, nao walitafuta njia ya kumwua. Hata hivyo walimwogopa kwa sababu umati ulishangazwa na mafundisho yake.
The chief priests and the Scribes heard this, and they began to seek means of destroying him; for they were afraid of him because all the crowd were greatly struck with his teaching.
19 Na kila wakati jioni ilipofika, waliondoka mjini.
Now every evening he used to go outside the city;
20 Walipokuwa wakitembea asubuhi, waliuona mti wa mtini umekauka mpaka kwenye mizizi yake.
and as they (he and his disciples) were passing along in the morning, they saw the fig tree already withered from the root.
21 Petro alikumbuka na kusema, “Rabi! Tazama, mti wa mtini ulioulaani umekauka”.
Then Peter remembered, and exclaimed, "Look, Rabbi, the fig tree which you cursed is withered up."
22 Yesu aliwajibu, “Muwe na imani katika Mungu.
"Take hold on God’s faithfulness," said Jesus to them in reply.
23 Amini nawaambia kwamba kila auambiaye mlima huu, 'Ondoka, na ukajitupe mwenyewe baharini, 'na kama hana mashaka moyoni mwake lakini anaamini kwamba alichokisema kitatokea, hivyo ndivyo Mungu atakavyofanya.
"In solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall say to this mountain, ‘Up and hurl yourself into the sea!’ and shall not doubt in his heart, but on the contrary shall believe that what he says will happen, it will be granted him.
24 Kwa hiyo ninawaambia: kila kitu muombacho na kuuliza kwa ajili yake, aminini kwamba mmepokea, navyo vitakuwa vyenu.
That is why I am telling you that whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it shall be yours.
25 Wakati mnaposimama na kuomba, mnapaswa kusamehe chochote mlichonacho dhidi ya yeyote, ili kwamba Baba yenu aliye mbinguni awasamehe pia ninyi makosa yenu.
And whenever you stand up to pray, forgive, if you have anything against any one, that so your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."
26 (Zingatia: Mstari huu, “Lakini msiposamehe, wala Baba yenu aliye mbinguni hatasamehe dhambi zenu” haumo kwenye nakala za kale).
27 Walikuja Yerusalemu tena. Na Yesu alipokuwa akitembea hekaluni, makuhani wakuu, waandishi na wazee walikuja kwake.
Once more they came into Jerusalem; and as he was walking in the Temple courts, there came to him the high priests and Scribes and elders and asked him.
28 Walimwambia, “Kwa mamlaka gani unafanya mambo haya?” Na ni nani aliyekupa mamlaka kuyafanya haya?”
"By what authority do you do these things? or who gave you this authority to do these things?"
29 Yesu aliwaambia, “Nitawauliza swali moja. Niambieni na mimi nitawaambia kwa mamlaka gani ninayafanya mambo haya.
"And I will put one question to you," replied Jesus. "Answer this, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 Je, ubatizo wa Yohana ulitoka mbinguni au ulitoka kwa wanadamu? Nijibuni.”
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me!"
31 Walijadiliana miongoni mwao na kushindana na kusema, “Kama tukisema, 'Kutoka mbinguni,' atasema, 'Kwa nini basi hamkumwamini?'
Then they began arguing with one another. "If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?"
32 Lakini kama tukisema, 'Kutoka kwa wanadamu,'...” Waliwaogopa watu, kwa kuwa wote walishikilia kwamba Yohana alikuwa Nabii.
On the other hand, if we say, ‘From men’!"They were afraid, however, of the people, for every one held that Johnhad been really a prophet.
33 Ndipo walimjibu Yesu na kusema, “Hatujui. Ndipo Yesu akawaambia, “Wala mimi sitawaambia ni kwa mamlaka gani nayafanya mambo haya.
So their answer to Jesus was, "We do not know." "Neither will I tell you," said Jesus, "by what authority I do these things."
