Marko 3
1 Na tena aliingia ndani ya sinagogi na mle palikuwa na mtu mwenye mkono uliopooza.
Jesus went to the synagogue again. A man was there who had a crippled hand.
2 Baadhi ya watu walikuwa wakimfuatilia kwa ukaribu kuona kama atamponya siku ya Sabato ili kwamba wamshitaki.
Some of those there were watching Jesus to see if he would heal the man on the Sabbath, because they were looking for a reason to accuse him of breaking the law.
3 Yesu alimwambia mtu mwenye mkono uliopooza, “Inuka na usimame katikati ya umati huu.”
Jesus told the man with the crippled hand, “Come and stand here in front of everyone.”
4 Kisha akawaambia watu, “Je ni halali kutenda tendo jema siku ya Sabato au kutenda yasiyo haki; kuokoa maisha, au kuua?” Lakini walibaki kimya.
“Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil? Should you save life, or should you kill?” he asked them. But they didn't say a word.
5 Akawaangalia kwa hasira, akihuzunika kwa sababu ya ugumu wa mioyo yao, na akamwambia yule mtu, “Nyoosha mkono wako”. Akaunyoosha na Yesu akamponya mkono wake.
He looked around at them in exasperation, very upset by their hard-hearted attitude. Then he told the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man held out his hand, and it was healed.
6 Mafarisayo wakaenda nje na mara wakafanya njama pamoja na Maherode dhidi yake ili kumuua.
The Pharisees left, and immediately began plotting with Herod's party as to how they might kill Jesus.
7 Kisha Yesu, pamoja na wanafunzi wake, walienda baharini, na umati mkubwa wa watu uliwafuata ukitokea Galilaya na Uyahudi
Meanwhile Jesus returned to the Sea, and a large crowd followed him. They were from Galilee, Judea,
8 na kutoka Yerusalemu na kutoka Idumaya na mbele ya Yorodani na jirani ya Tiro na Sidoni, umati mkubwa, uliposikia kila kitu alichokuwa anakifanya, walikuja kwake.
Jerusalem, Idumea, Transjordan, and from the regions of Tyre and Sidon. So many people came to see him because they'd heard all he was doing.
9 Na aliwaambia wanafunzi wake kuandaa mtubwi mdongo kwa ajili yake kwa sababu ya umati, ili kwamba wasije wakamsonga.
Jesus told his disciples to have a small boat ready in case the crowd crushed him,
10 Kwa kuwa aliponya wengi, ili kila mtu aliyekuwa na mateso alikuwa na shauku ya kumfikia ili amguse.
because he had healed so many that all the sick people kept on pressing towards him so they could touch him.
11 Popote roho wachafu walipomwona, walianguka chini mbele yake na kulia, na walisema, “Wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu”.
Whenever the evil spirits saw him they would fall down in front of him and shout out, “You are the Son of God!”
12 Aliwaamuru kwa msisitizo wasifanye ajulikane.
But he commanded them not to reveal who he was.
13 Alienda juu ya mlima, na akawaita aliowataka, na wakaenda kwake.
Then Jesus went away to the hill country. He called those he wanted to be with him, and they came to him.
14 Akawachagua kumi na wawili (aliowaita mitume), ili kwamba wawe pamoja naye na aweze kuwatuma kuhubiri,
He chose twelve to be with him, and called them apostles. They were to be with him, and he would send them out to announce the good news,
15 na kuwa na mamlaka ya kutoa mapepo.
and with the authority to drive out demons.
16 Na akawachagua kumi na wawili: Simoni, aliyempa jina la Petro,
These are the twelve he chose: Simon (whom he called Peter),
17 Yakobo mwana wa Zebedayo, na Yohana ndugu yake Yakobo, aliyepewa jina la Bonagesi, hao ni, wana wa ngurumo,
James the son of Zebedee and his brother John (who he called Boanerges, meaning “sons of thunder”),
18 na Andrea, Filipo, Bartholomayo, Mathayo, Tomaso, Yakobo mwana wa Alfayo, Thadayo, Simoni Mkananayo,
Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Revolutionary,
19 na Yuda Iskariote, ambaye atamsaliti.
and Judas Iscariot (who betrayed him).
20 Kisha alienda nyumbani, na umati wa watu wakaja pamoja tena, hata wasiweze kula hata mkate.
Jesus went home, but such a large crowd gathered again that he and his disciples didn't even have time to eat.
21 Familia yake waliposikia habari hiyo, walienda kumkamata, kwani walisema, “Amerukwa na akili”.
When Jesus' family heard about it, they came to take him away, saying, “He's lost his senses!”
22 Waandishi waliokuja kutoka Yerusalemu walisema, “Amepagawa na Beelzebuli,” na, “Kwa mtawala wa mapepo anatoa mapepo”.
But the religious leaders from Jerusalem said, “He's possessed by Beelzebub! It's by the ruler of demons that he's driving out demons!”
23 Yesu aliwaita kwake na kusema nao kwa mifano, “Jinsi gani Shetani aweza kumtoa Shetani?
But Jesus called them over to him. Using illustrations he asked them, “How can Satan throw out Satan?
24 Kama ufalme ukigawanyika wenyewe, ufalme huo hauwezi kusimama.
A kingdom fighting itself can't continue.
25 Kama nyumba ikigawanyika yenyewe, nyumba hiyo haiwezi kusimama.
A household that's divided is doomed.
26 Kama Shetani atainuka kinyume chake mwenyewe na kugawanyika, hawezi kusimama, na atakuwa amefika mwisho wake.
If Satan is divided and fights against himself, he won't last long—he'll soon come to an end.
27 Lakini hakuna hata mmoja awezaye kuingia ndani ya nyumba ya mtu mwenye nguvu na kuiba vitu vyake bila kumfunga mwenye nguvu kwanza, na kisha kukusanya kilichomo nyumbani.
Clearly, if someone breaks into the house of a strong man and tries to take his things, he won't get far in his theft unless he ties up the strong man first.”
28 Kweli nawambieni, dhambi zote za wana wa watu zitasamehewa, pamoja na kufuru ambazo wanatamka,
“I tell you the truth: all sins and blasphemies can be forgiven,
30 Yesu alilisema hili kwa sababu walikuwa wakisema, “Ana roho chafu”.
(Jesus said this because they said, “He has an evil spirit.”)
31 Kisha mama yake na ndugu zake walikuja na kusimama nje. Wakamtuma mtu, kumwita.
Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. They waited outside and sent him a message, asking him to come out.
32 Na umati wa watu uliokuwa umekaa karibu naye wakamwambia, “mama yako na ndugu zako wako nje, na wanakutafuta wewe”.
The crowd that was sitting around him told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside asking for you.”
33 Aliwajibu, “Ni nani mama yangu na ndugu zangu?”
“Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” he responded.
34 Aliwaangalia waliokuwa wamekaa wamemzunguka, na akasema, “Tazama, hawa ni mama zangu na ndugu zangu!
Looking around at all those sitting there in a circle, he said, “Here is my mother! Here are my brothers!
35 Yeyote afanyaye mapenzi ya Mungu, mtu huyo ni ndugu yangu, na dada yangu, na mama yangu”.
Whoever does what God wants, they are my brother, and sister, and mother.”
