Marko 2
1 Aliporudi Kaperinaumu baada ya siku chache, ilisikika kwamba alikuwa nyumbani.
And having again entered into Capernaum, after some days it was heard that he was in a house.
2 Watu wengi sana walikuwa wamekusanyika pale na haikuwepo nafasi tena, hata ile ya pale mlangoni, na Yesu alisema neno kwao.
And straightaway many were gathered together, so as to accommodate no more, not even near the door. And he spoke the word to them.
3 Kisha baadhi ya watu walikuja kwake waliomleta mtu aliyekuwa amepooza; watu wanne walikuwa wamembeba.
And they come bringing to him a paralyzed man, being taken by four men.
4 Wakati waliposhindwa kumkaribia kwa sababu ya umati wa watu, waliondoa paa juu ya mahali pale alipokuwa. Na walipokuwa wamekwishatoboa tundu, walishusha kitanda ambacho mtu aliyepooza alikuwa amelala.
And not being able to come near to him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was. And when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralyzed man lay.
5 Alipoiona imani yao, Yesu alimwambia mtu aliyepooza, “mwanangu, dhambi zako zimesamehewa.”
And having seen their faith, Jesus says to the paralyzed man, Child, thy sins are forgiven thee.
6 Lakini baadhi ya waandishi wale waliokuwa wamekaa pale walijihoji mioyoni mwao,
But some of the scholars were sitting there, and deliberating in their hearts,
7 “Anawezaje mtu huyu kusema hivi? Anakufuru! Nani awezaye kusamehe dhambi isipokuwa Mungu peke yake?”
Why does this man speak blasphemies this way. Who can forgive sins but one, God?
8 Mara Yesu alijua rohoni mwake walichokuwa wakifikiri miongoni mwao wenyewe. Aliwaambia, “Kwa nini mnafikiri hivi mioyoni mwenu?
And straightaway Jesus, having perceived in his spirit that they so deliberated within themselves, said to them, Why do ye deliberate these things in your hearts?
9 Lipi ni jepesi zaidi kusema kwa mtu aliyepooza, 'Dhambi zako zimesamehewa' au kusema 'Simama, chukua kitanda chako, na utembee?'
Which is easier, to say to the paralyzed man, Thy sins are forgiven thee, or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed and walk?
10 Lakini ili wapate kujua ya kuwa Mwana wa Adamu ana mamlaka ya kusamehe dhambi katika dunia, alimwambia yule aliyepooza,
But that ye may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins (he says to the paralyzed man),
11 “Nakuambia wewe, inuka, chukua mkeka wako, na uende nyumbani kwako.”
I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go to thy house.
12 Alisimama na mara moja akachukua mkeka wake, na alikwenda nje ya nyumba mbele ya kila mtu, hivyo wote walishangaa na walimpa Mungu utukufu, na wakasema “Kamwe, hatujawahi kuona jambo kama hili.”
And straightaway he arose, and having taken up the bed, he went forth before them all, so as for all to be amazed, and to glorify God, saying, We never saw it like this.
13 Alienda tena kando ya ziwa, na umati wote wa watu walikuja kwake, na akawafundisha.
And he went forth again by the sea, and all the multitude resorted to him, and he taught them.
14 Alipokuwa akipita alimwona Lawi mwana wa Alfayo ameketi kwenye sehemu ya kukusanyia kodi na akamwambia, “Nifuate.” Alisimama na kumfuata.
And as he passed by he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. And he says to him, Follow thou me. And having risen, he followed him.
15 Na wakati Yesu alipokuwa akipata chakula katika nyumba ya Lawi, wakusanya kodi wengi na watu wenye dhambi walikuwa wakila na Yesu na wanafunzi wake, kwa kuwa walikuwa wengi nao walimfuata.
And it came to pass, while he was dining in his house, that many tax collectors and sinners were dining with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.
16 Wakati waandishi, ambao walikuwa Mafarisayo, walipoona kwamba Yesu alikuwa akila na watu wenye dhambi na wakusanya kodi, waliwaambia wanafunzi wake, “Kwa nini anakula na wakusanya kodi na watu wenye dhambi?”
And the scholars of the Pharisees, when they saw him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, they said to his disciples, Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?
17 Wakati Yesu aliposikia hivi aliwaambia, “Watu walio na afya katika mwili hawamhitaji tabibu; ni watu wagonjwa pekee ndio wanamhitaji. Sikuja kuwaita watu wenye haki, lakini watu wenye dhambi.”
And when Jesus heard it he says to them, Those who are strong have no need of a physician, but those faring badly. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners for repentance.
18 Wanafunzi wa Yohana na Mafarisayo walikuwa wakifunga. Na baadhi ya watu walikuja kwake na kumwambia, “Kwa nini wanafunzi wa Yohana na mafarisayo hufunga, lakini wanafunzi wako hawafungi?
And John's disciples and those of the Pharisees were fasting. And they come and say to him, Why do John's disciples and those of the Pharisees fast, but the disciples with you do not fast?
19 Yesu aliwaambia, “Je waliohudhuria harusini wanaweza kufunga wakati bwana harusi bado akiwa pamoja nao? Kwa vyovyote bwana harusi akiwa bado yuko pamoja nao hawawezi kufunga.”
And Jesus said to them, The sons of the wedding hall cannot fast while the bridegroom is with them. As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20 Lakini siku zitakuja wakati bwana harusi atakapoondolewa kwao, na katika siku hizo wao watafunga.
But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will they fast in those day.
21 Hakuna mtu ashonaye kipande kipya cha nguo kwenye vazi kuukuu, vinginevyo kiraka kitabanduka kutoka katika hilo, kipya kubanduka kutoka katika kikuukuu, na kutakuwepo mpasuko mbaya.
And no man sews a new patch of cloth on an old garment, otherwise the patch of it pulls away, the new from the old, and a tear becomes worse.
22 Hakuna mtu atiaye divai mpya katika viriba vikuukuu, vinginevyo divai itavipasua viriba na vyote viwili divai na viriba vitapotea. Badala yake, weka divai mpya katika viriba vipya.”
And no man puts new wine into old wineskins, otherwise the new wine bursts the wineskins, and the wine is spilled, and the wineskins will be destroyed. But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
23 Katika siku ya Sabato Yesu alipita kwenye baadhi ya mashamba, na wanafunzi wake walianza kuchukua baadhi ya masuke ya ngano.
And it came to pass, that he was passing through the grain fields on the sabbath day, and his disciples began to make a path while plucking the ears.
24 Na Mafarisayo walimwambia, “Tazama, kwa nini wanafanya kitu ambacho ni kinyume cha sheria katika siku ya Sabato?”
And the Pharisees said to him, Look, why are they doing what is not permitted on the sabbath day?
25 Aliwaambia, “Hamkusoma kile alichofanya Daudi alipokuwa katika uhitaji na njaa—yeye pamoja na watu waliokuwa pamoja naye?
And he said to them, Did ye never read what David did when he had need, and was hungry, he and those with him?
26 Jinsi alivyoenda katika nyumba ya Mungu wakati Abiathari alipokuwa kuhani mkuu na akala mkate uliowekwa mbele—ambao ilikuwa kinyume cha sheria kwa mtu yeyote kula isipokuwa makuhani—na aliwapa hata baadhi ya wale waliokuwa pamoja naye?”
How he entered into the house of God under Abiathar the high priest, and ate the loaves of the presentation, which is not permitted to eat except for the priests. And he also gave to those who were with him?
27 Yesu alisema, “Sabato ilifanywa kwa ajili ya mwanadamu, siyo mwanadamu kwa ajili ya Sabato.
And he said to them, The sabbath came into being for sake of man, and not man for sake of the sabbath.
28 Kwa hiyo, Mwana wa Adamu ni Bwana, hata kwa Sabato.”
So then the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.
