Marko 5
1 Walikuja mpaka upande mwingine wa bahari, katika mkoa wa Gerasi
And they came to the opposite side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2 Na ghafla wakati Yesu alipokuwa akitoka nje ya mtumbwi, mtu mwenye roho chafu alikuja kwake kutoka makaburini.
And when he had come out of the ship, immediately there met him from the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3 Mtu huyu aliishi makaburini. Hakuna aliyeweza kumzuia zaidi, hakuna hata kwa minyororo.
who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could keep him bound even with chains;
4 Alikuwa amefungwa nyakati nyingi kwa pingu na minyororo. Aliikata minyororo na pingu zake zilivunjwa. Hakuna hata mmoja aliyekuwa na nguvu za kumshinda.
because he had often been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been pulled to pieces by him, and the fetters had been broken, and no one had strength to subdue him;
5 Usiku na mchana akiwa makaburini na milimani, alilia na kujikata yeye mwenyewe kwa mawe makali.
and always, night and day, he was in the tombs, and in the mountains, crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
6 Alipomwona Yesu kwa mbali, alikimbilia kwake na kuinama mbele yake.
And when he saw Jesus at a distance, he ran and did him homage;
7 Alilia kwa sauti kuu, “Wataka nikufanyie nini, Yesu, Mwana wa Mungu aliye Juu sana? Ninakusihi kwa Mungu mwenyewe, usinitese.”
and crying out with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
8 Kwa kuwa alikuwa amemwambia, “Mtoke mtu huyu, wewe roho mchafu.”
For he had said to him: Unclean spirit, come out of the man.
9 Naye alimwuliza, “Jina lako ni nani?” Naye alimjibu, “Jina langu ni Legion, kwa kuwa tuko wengi.”
And he asked him: What is your name? And he said to him: My name is Legion; for we are many.
10 Alimsihi tena na tena asiwapeleke nje ya mkoa.
And he earnestly besought him that he would not send them out of the country.
11 Sasa kundi kubwa la nguruwe lilikuwa likilishwa juu ya kilima,
Now a great herd of swine was feeding there near the mountain.
12 nao walimsihi, wakisema, “Tutume kwa nguruwe; tuingie ndani yao.”
And the demons besought him, saying: Send us to the swine, that we may enter into them.
13 Hivyo aliwaruhusu; roho wachafu waliwatoka na kuingia ndani ya nguruwe, nao walikimbilia chini ya kilima mpaka baharini, na karibia nguruwe elfu mbili walizama baharini.
And Jesus immediately gave them leave. And the unclean spirits came out and entered into the swine; and the herd (they were about two thousand, ) rushed down a steep place into the sea, and were strangled in the sea.
14 Na wale waliokuwa wakiwalisha nguruwe walikimbia na kutoa taarifa ya kilichotokea katika mji na katika nchi. Ndipo watu wengi walitoka kwenda kuona kilichotokea.
And those who fed them fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they came out to see what had been done;
15 Ndipo walikuja kwa Yesu na walimwona mtu aliyepagawa na pepo—aliyekuwa na Jeshi—amekaa chini, amevikwa, na akiwa katika akili yake timamu, nao waliogopa.
and they came to Jesus and saw the demoniac, who had had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
16 Wale waliokuwa wameona kilichotokea kwa mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo waliwaambia kilichotokea kwake na pia kuhusu nguruwe.
And those who had seen it told them how it had happened to the demoniac, and also concerning the swine.
17 Nao walianza kumsihi aondoke katika mkoa wao.
And they began to beseech him to depart from their borders.
18 Na alipokuwa akiingia ndani ya mtumbwi, mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na mapepo alimsihi kwamba aende pamoja naye.
And when he had entered the ship, he that had been possessed with the demons besought him that he might be with him.
19 Lakini hakumruhusu, lakini alimwambia, “Nenda nyumbani kwako na kwa watu wako, na uwaambie alikufanyia Bwana, na rehema aliyokupa.”
And he did not permit him, but said to him: Go home to your relatives, and make known to them what things the Lord has done for you, and that he has had compassion on you.
20 Hivyo alienda na alianza kutangaza mambo makuu ambayo Yesu amefanya kwake katika Dekapoli, na kila mmoja alistaajabu.
And he went away and began to proclaim in Decapolis what things Jesus had done for him. And all were astonished.
21 Na wakati Yesu alipovuka tena upande mwingine, ndani ya mtumbwi, umati mkubwa ulikusanyika kumzunguka, alipokuwa kando ya bahari.
And when Jesus had again gone over in the ship to the opposite side, a great multitude came together to him; and he was near the sea.
22 Na mmoja wa kiongozi wa sinagogi, aliyeitwa Yairo, alikuja, na alipomwona, alianguka miguuni pake.
And behold, there came one of the rulers of the synagogue, named Jairus; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
23 Akamsihi zaidi na zaidi, akisema, “Binti yangu mdogo anakaribia kufa. Ninakusihi, njoo na uweke mikono yako juu yake ili kwamba aweze kupata afya na kuishi.”
and besought him earnestly, saying: My little daughter is at the point of death; come, lay thy hands on her, that she may be saved, and she will live.
24 Hivyo alikwenda pamoja naye, na umati mkubwa ulimfuata nao walimzonga karibu wakimzunguka.
And he went with him; and a great multitude followed him, and pressed upon him.
25 Kulikuwa na mwanamke ambaye damu yake ilikuwa imetoka kwa miaka kumi na miwili.
And a certain woman who had had an issue of blood for twelve years,
26 Aliteseka vya kutosha chini ya matabibu wengi na alitumia kila kitu alichokuwa nacho. Hata hivyo hakusaidika kwa chochote, lakini badala yake alizidi kuwa na hali mbaya.
and had suffered much from many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was in no way benefited, but rather grew worse,
27 Alisikia habari kuhusu Yesu. Hivyo alikuja nyuma yake wakati alipokuwa akitembea ndani ya umati, naye aliligusa vazi lake.
when she heard of Jesus, came behind him in the multitude, and touched his mantle;
28 Kwa kuwa alisema, “Kama nikiyagusa mavazi yake tu, nitakuwa mzima.”
for she said: If I may even touch his clothes, I shall be saved.
29 Alipomgusa, kutokwa damu kulikoma, na alijisikia katika mwili wake kwamba aliponywa kutoka kwenye mateso yake.
And immediately the fountain of her blood dried up, and she knew in her body that she was cured of that plague.
30 Na ghafla Yesu aligundua ndani yake mwenyewe kwamba nguvu zimemtoka. Na aligeuka huku na huku katika umati wa watu na kuuliza, “Ni nani aliyeligusa vazi langu?”
And Jesus, immediately perceiving in himself that power had gone forth from him, turned around in the multitude and said: Who touched my clothes?
31 Wanafunzi wake walimwambia, “Unaona umati huu umekusonga ukikuzunguka, nawe wasema, 'Ni nani aliyenigusa?'”
And his disciples said to him: Thou seest the multitude pressing upon thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?
32 Lakini Yesu alitazama huku na huku kuona ambaye aliyekuwa amefanya hili.
And he looked around to see her that had done this.
33 Mwanamke, akijua kilichotokea kwake, aliogopa na kutetemeka. Alikuja na alianguka chini mbele yake na kumwambia ukweli wote.
But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing; what had been done within her, came and fell down before him; and told him all the truth.
34 Alisema kwake, “Binti, imani yako imekufanya uwe mzima. Enenda kwa amani na uponywe kutoka kwenye ugonjwa wako.”
And he said to her: Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace, and be cured of your plague.
35 Alipokuwa akizungumza, baadhi ya watu walikuja kutoka kwa kiongozi wa Sinagogi, wakisema, “Binti yako amekufa. Kwa nini kuendelea kumsumbua mwalimu?”
While he was yet speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue, who said: Your daughter is dead; why give the Teacher further trouble?
36 Lakini Yesu aliposikia ambacho walikisema, alimwambia kiongozi wa Sinagogi, “Usiogope. Amini tu.”
But as soon as Jesus heard what was spoken, he said to the ruler of the synagogue: Fear not, only believe.
37 Hakumruhusu yeyote kuongozana naye, isipokuwa Petro, Yakobo, na Yohana, ndugu yake Yakobo.
And he suffered no one to follow him, except Peter and James and John the brother of James.
38 Walikuja nyumbani kwa kiongozi wa Sinagogi naye aliona vurugu, kulia kwingi na kuomboleza.
And he came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw the tumult, and those who were weeping and wailing greatly.
39 Alipoingia nyumbani, aliwaambia, “Kwa nini mmesikitika na kwa nini mnalia? Mtoto hajafa bali amelala.”
And he went in and said to them: Why do you make a tumult and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeps.
40 Walimcheka, lakini yeye, aliwatoa wote nje, alimchukua baba wa mtoto na mama na wale waliokuwa pamoja naye, na aliingia ndani alimokuwa mtoto.
And they derided him. But when he had put them all out, he took the father and mother of the child, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying.
41 Aliuchukua mkono wa mtoto na alimwambia, “Talitha koum,” ambayo ni kusema, “Binti mdogo, nakuambia, amka.”
And he took the child by the hand, and said to her: Talitha kumi; which is, when translated, Maiden, (I say to you, ) arise.
42 Ghafla mtoto aliamka na kutembea (kwa kuwa alikuwa na umri wa miaka kumi na miwili). Na ghafla walishikwa na mshangao mkubwa.
And the maiden immediately arose and walked, for she was twelve years old. And they were greatly astonished.
43 Aliwaamuru kwa nguvu kwamba hakuna yeyote anapaswa kujua kuhusu hili. Na aliwaambia wampatie yule binti chakula.
And he charged them strictly that no one should know this. And he commanded that something should be given her to eat.
