< Marko 5 >

1 Walikuja mpaka upande mwingine wa bahari, katika mkoa wa Gerasi
And they came to the other side of the sea, into the territory of the Gerasenes.
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 boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met him out of the tombs.
3 Mtu huyu aliishi makaburini. Hakuna aliyeweza kumzuia zaidi, hakuna hata kwa minyororo.
He lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him any more, not even with a chain.
4 Alikuwa amefungwa nyakati nyingi kwa pingu na minyororo. Aliikata minyororo na pingu zake zilivunjwa. Hakuna hata mmoja aliyekuwa na nguvu za kumshinda.
For he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. No one had the strength to tame him.
5 Usiku na mchana akiwa makaburini na milimani, alilia na kujikata yeye mwenyewe kwa mawe makali.
And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
6 Alipomwona Yesu kwa mbali, alikimbilia kwake na kuinama mbele yake.
And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,
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 you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me."
8 Kwa kuwa alikuwa amemwambia, “Mtoke mtu huyu, wewe roho mchafu.”
For he had been saying to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit."
9 Naye alimwuliza, “Jina lako ni nani?” Naye alimjibu, “Jina langu ni Legion, kwa kuwa tuko wengi.”
And then he asked him, "What is your name?" And he replied, "My name is Legion, for we are many."
10 Alimsihi tena na tena asiwapeleke nje ya mkoa.
And he pleaded with Jesus repeatedly not to send them away out of the region.
11 Sasa kundi kubwa la nguruwe lilikuwa likilishwa juu ya kilima,
Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.
12 nao walimsihi, wakisema, “Tutume kwa nguruwe; tuingie ndani yao.”
And they begged him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, 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 he gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs; and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned 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 the people went to see what it was that had happened.
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 him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; 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 saw it declared to them how it happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.
17 Nao walianza kumsihi aondoke katika mkoa wao.
And then they began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.
18 Na alipokuwa akiingia ndani ya mtumbwi, mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na mapepo alimsihi kwamba aende pamoja naye.
As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons pleaded with 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.”
However, Jesus did not allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your own, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you."
20 Hivyo alienda na alianza kutangaza mambo makuu ambayo Yesu amefanya kwake katika Dekapoli, na kila mmoja alistaajabu.
So he went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone was amazed.
21 Na wakati Yesu alipovuka tena upande mwingine, ndani ya mtumbwi, umati mkubwa ulikusanyika kumzunguka, alipokuwa kando ya bahari.
And when Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a large crowd was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.
22 Na mmoja wa kiongozi wa sinagogi, aliyeitwa Yairo, alikuja, na alipomwona, alianguka miguuni pake.
One of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing 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 pleaded with him repeatedly, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live."
24 Hivyo alikwenda pamoja naye, na umati mkubwa ulimfuata nao walimzonga karibu wakimzunguka.
And he went with him, and a large crowd followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.
25 Kulikuwa na mwanamke ambaye damu yake ilikuwa imetoka kwa miaka kumi na miwili.
Now a woman, who 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 many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,
27 Alisikia habari kuhusu Yesu. Hivyo alikuja nyuma yake wakati alipokuwa akitembea ndani ya umati, naye aliligusa vazi lake.
having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes.
28 Kwa kuwa alisema, “Kama nikiyagusa mavazi yake tu, nitakuwa mzima.”
For she said, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well."
29 Alipomgusa, kutokwa damu kulikoma, na alijisikia katika mwili wake kwamba aliponywa kutoka kwenye mateso yake.
And immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
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 immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
31 Wanafunzi wake walimwambia, “Unaona umati huu umekusonga ukikuzunguka, nawe wasema, 'Ni nani aliyenigusa?'”
And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing against you, and you say, 'Who touched me?'"
32 Lakini Yesu alitazama huku na huku kuona ambaye aliyekuwa amefanya hili.
He looked around to see her who had done this thing.
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 to her, came and fell down before him, and told him the whole 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 made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease."
35 Alipokuwa akizungumza, baadhi ya watu walikuja kutoka kwa kiongozi wa Sinagogi, wakisema, “Binti yako amekufa. Kwa nini kuendelea kumsumbua mwalimu?”
While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler's house saying, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?"
36 Lakini Yesu aliposikia ambacho walikisema, alimwambia kiongozi wa Sinagogi, “Usiogope. Amini tu.”
But Jesus, overhearing the message spoken, said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid, only believe."
37 Hakumruhusu yeyote kuongozana naye, isipokuwa Petro, Yakobo, na Yohana, ndugu yake Yakobo.
And he allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
38 Walikuja nyumbani kwa kiongozi wa Sinagogi naye aliona vurugu, kulia kwingi na kuomboleza.
And they came to the synagogue ruler's house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.
39 Alipoingia nyumbani, aliwaambia, “Kwa nini mmesikitika na kwa nini mnalia? Mtoto hajafa bali amelala.”
And when he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep."
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 ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.
41 Aliuchukua mkono wa mtoto na alimwambia, “Talitha koum,” ambayo ni kusema, “Binti mdogo, nakuambia, amka.”
And taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha koum," which translated means, "Little girl, I tell you, get up."
42 Ghafla mtoto aliamka na kutembea (kwa kuwa alikuwa na umri wa miaka kumi na miwili). Na ghafla walishikwa na mshangao mkubwa.
And immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were overcome with amazement.
43 Aliwaamuru kwa nguvu kwamba hakuna yeyote anapaswa kujua kuhusu hili. Na aliwaambia wampatie yule binti chakula.
And he strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
