Marko 2
1 Aliporudi Kaperinaumu baada ya siku chache, ilisikika kwamba alikuwa nyumbani.
When he entered again into Capernaum [Village-Comfort, Village-Compassion] after some days, it was heard 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.
Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.
3 Kisha baadhi ya watu walikuja kwake waliomleta mtu aliyekuwa amepooza; watu wanne walikuwa wamembeba.
Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.
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.
When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.
5 Alipoiona imani yao, Yesu alimwambia mtu aliyepooza, “mwanangu, dhambi zako zimesamehewa.”
Yeshua [Salvation], seeing their trusting faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your abstract sins ·miss the marks· are forgiven you.”
6 Lakini baadhi ya waandishi wale waliokuwa wamekaa pale walijihoji mioyoni mwao,
But there were some of the Torah-Teachers sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 “Anawezaje mtu huyu kusema hivi? Anakufuru! Nani awezaye kusamehe dhambi isipokuwa Mungu peke yake?”
“Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive abstract sins ·miss the marks· but God alone?”
8 Mara Yesu alijua rohoni mwake walichokuwa wakifikiri miongoni mwao wenyewe. Aliwaambia, “Kwa nini mnafikiri hivi mioyoni mwenu?
Immediately Yeshua [Salvation], perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason 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 tell the paralytic, ‘Your abstract sins ·miss the marks· are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your 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 you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive abstract sins ·miss the marks·”— he said to the paralytic—
11 “Nakuambia wewe, inuka, chukua mkeka wako, na uende nyumbani kwako.”
“I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your 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.”
He arose, and immediately took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
13 Alienda tena kando ya ziwa, na umati wote wa watu walikuja kwake, na akawafundisha.
He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude came 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.
As he passed by, he saw Levi [United with], the son of Alphaeus [Changing], sitting at the tax office, and he said to 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.
He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners ·devoted to missing the mark and without share in the goal· sat down with Yeshua [Salvation] 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?”
The Torah-Teachers and the Pharisees [Separated], when they saw that he was eating with the sinners ·devoted to missing the mark and without share in the goal· and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners ·devoted to missing the mark and without share in the goal·?”
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 Yeshua [Salvation] heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the upright, but sinners ·devoted to missing the mark and without share in the goal· to teshuvah ·complete 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?
John [Yah is gracious]’s disciples and the Pharisees [Separated] were fasting, and they came and asked him, “Why do John [Yah is gracious]’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees [Separated] fast, but your disciples don’t 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.”
Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can’t fast.
20 Lakini siku zitakuja wakati bwana harusi atakapoondolewa kwao, na katika siku hizo wao watafunga.
But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that 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.
No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.
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.”
No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins.”
23 Katika siku ya Sabato Yesu alipita kwenye baadhi ya mashamba, na wanafunzi wake walianza kuchukua baadhi ya masuke ya ngano.
He was going on the Sabbath ·To cease· day through the grain fields, and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.
24 Na Mafarisayo walimwambia, “Tazama, kwa nini wanafanya kitu ambacho ni kinyume cha sheria katika siku ya Sabato?”
The Pharisees [Separated] said to him, “Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath ·To cease· day?”
25 Aliwaambia, “Hamkusoma kile alichofanya Daudi alipokuwa katika uhitaji na njaa—yeye pamoja na watu waliokuwa pamoja naye?
He said to them, “Did you never read what David [Beloved] did, when he had need, and was hungry— he, and those who 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 entered into God’s house when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the show bread from the altar of Yahweh, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?”
27 Yesu alisema, “Sabato ilifanywa kwa ajili ya mwanadamu, siyo mwanadamu kwa ajili ya Sabato.
He said to them, “The Sabbath ·To cease· was made for man, not man for the Sabbath ·To cease·.
28 Kwa hiyo, Mwana wa Adamu ni Bwana, hata kwa Sabato.”
Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath ·To cease·.”
