Marko 2
1 Aliporudi Kaperinaumu baada ya siku chache, ilisikika kwamba alikuwa nyumbani.
AND again he entered into Capernaum, after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
2 Watu wengi sana walikuwa wamekusanyika pale na haikuwepo nafasi tena, hata ile ya pale mlangoni, na Yesu alisema neno kwao.
And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
3 Kisha baadhi ya watu walikuja kwake waliomleta mtu aliyekuwa amepooza; watu wanne walikuwa wamembeba.
And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
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 when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
5 Alipoiona imani yao, Yesu alimwambia mtu aliyepooza, “mwanangu, dhambi zako zimesamehewa.”
When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
6 Lakini baadhi ya waandishi wale waliokuwa wamekaa pale walijihoji mioyoni mwao,
But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 “Anawezaje mtu huyu kusema hivi? Anakufuru! Nani awezaye kusamehe dhambi isipokuwa Mungu peke yake?”
Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
8 Mara Yesu alijua rohoni mwake walichokuwa wakifikiri miongoni mwao wenyewe. Aliwaambia, “Kwa nini mnafikiri hivi mioyoni mwenu?
And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye 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?'
Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be 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 hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy, )
11 “Nakuambia wewe, inuka, chukua mkeka wako, na uende nyumbani kwako.”
I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine 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 immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
13 Alienda tena kando ya ziwa, na umati wote wa watu walikuja kwake, na akawafundisha.
And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto 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 Alphæus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and 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, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together 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 when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans 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.”
When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to 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 the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
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 unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber 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 shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
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.
No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made 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 putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
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 went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
24 Na Mafarisayo walimwambia, “Tazama, kwa nini wanafanya kitu ambacho ni kinyume cha sheria katika siku ya Sabato?”
And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
25 Aliwaambia, “Hamkusoma kile alichofanya Daudi alipokuwa katika uhitaji na njaa—yeye pamoja na watu waliokuwa pamoja naye?
And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were 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 went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?
27 Yesu alisema, “Sabato ilifanywa kwa ajili ya mwanadamu, siyo mwanadamu kwa ajili ya Sabato.
And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
28 Kwa hiyo, Mwana wa Adamu ni Bwana, hata kwa Sabato.”
Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
