Marko 8
1 Katika siku hizo, kulikuwa tena na umati mkubwa, na hawakuwa na chakula. Yesu akawaita wanafunzi wake akawaambia,
In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples [unto him], and saith unto them,
2 “Ninauhurumia umati huu, wameendelea kuwa nami kwa siku tatu na hawana chakula.
I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
3 Nikiwatawanya warudi majumbani kwao bila kula wanaweza wakazimia njiani kwa njaa. Na baadhi yao wametoka mbali sana.”
And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
4 Wanafunzi wake wakamjibu, “Tutapata wapi mikate ya kutosha kuwashibisha watu hawa katika eneo hili lililoachwa?”
And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these [men] with bread here in the wilderness?
5 Akawauliza, “mna vipande vingapi vya mikate?” Wakasema, “Saba”.
And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
6 Aliuamuru umati ukae chini. Akachukua mikate saba, akamshukuru Mungu, na kuivunja. Akawapa wanafunzi wake waiweke mbele yao, nao wakaiweka mbele ya umati.
And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before [them]; and they did set [them] before the people.
7 Pia walikuwa na samaki wadogo wachache, na baada ya kushukuru, aliwaamuru wanafunzi wake wawagawie hivi pia.
And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before [them].
8 Walikula na wakatosheka. Na walikusanya vipande vilivyo baki, vikapu vikubwa saba.
So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken [meat] that was left seven baskets.
9 Walikaribia watu elfu nne. Na aliwaacha waende.
And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
10 Mara aliingia kwenye mashua na wanafunzi wake, na wakaenda katika ukanda ya Dalmanuta.
And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 Kisha Mafarisayo walitoka nje na kuanza kubishana naye. Walitaka awape ishara kutoka mbinguni, kwa kumjaribu.
And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
12 Akatafakari kwa kina moyoni mwake akasema, “Kwa nini kizazi hiki kinatafuta ishara? Nawaambia ninyi kweli, hakuna ishara itakayotolewa kwa kizazi hiki.”
And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
13 Kisha akawaacha, akaingia ndani ya mashua tena, akaondoka kuelekea upande mwingine.
And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
14 Wakati huo wanafunzi walisahau kuchukua mikate. Hawakuwa na mikate zaidi ya kipande kimoja kilichokuwa kwenye mashua.
Now [the disciples] had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
15 Aliwaonya na kusema, “Muwe macho na mjilinde dhidi ya chachu ya Mafarisayo na chachu ya Herode.
And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod.
16 Wanafunzi wakasemezana wao kwa wao, “Ni kwa sababu hatuna mikate.”
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is] because we have no bread.
17 Yesu alilitambua hili, na akawaambia, “Kwa nini mnasemezana kuhusu kutokuwa na mikate? Hamjajua bado? Hamuelewi? Mioyo yenu imekuwa miepesi?
And when Jesus knew [it], he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
18 Mna macho, hamuoni? Mna masikio, hamsikii? Hamkumbuki?
Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
19 Nilipoigawanya mikate mitano kwa watu elfu tano, mlichukua vikapu vingapi vilivyo jaa vipande vya mikate?” Wakamjibu, “kumi na mbili.”
When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
20 “Na nilipoigawanya mikate saba kwa watu elfu nne, mlichukua vikapu vingapi?”
And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
21 Wakasema, “Saba.” Akawaambia, “Bado hamuelewi?”
And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
22 Wakaja Bethsaida. Watu hao walimleta kwa Yesu mtu kipofu na wakamsihi Yesu amguse.
And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
23 Yesu akamshika kwa mkono yule kipofu, na kumwongoza nje ya kijiji. Alipotema mate juu ya macho yake na kunyosha mikono yake juu yake, alimuuliza, “Unaona chochote?”
And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
24 Alitazama juu na kusema, “Naona watu wanaonekana kama miti inatembea.”
And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
25 Ndipo akanyosha tena mikono yake juu ya macho yake, mtu yule akafungua macho yake, aliona tena, na akaona kila kitu vizuri.
After that he put [his] hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
26 Yesu alimwacha aende nyumbani na akamwambia, “Usiingie mjini.”
And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell [it] to any in the town.
27 Yesu aliondoka na wanafunzi wake kwenda vijiji vya Kaiseria ya Filipi. Wakiwa njiani aliwauliza wanafunzi, “Watu wanasema mimi ni nani?”
And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Cæsarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?
28 Wakamjibu wakasema, “Yohana mbatizaji. Wengine wanasema, 'Eliya' na wengine, 'Mmoja wa Manabii.”
And they answered, John the Baptist: but some [say], Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
29 Akawauliza, “Lakini ninyi mnasema mimi ni nani?” Petro kamwambia, “Wewe ni Kristo.”
And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
30 Yesu akawaonya wasimwabie mtu yeyote kumuhusu Yeye.
And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
31 Na akaanza kuwafundisha ya kuwa Mwana wa Adamu lazima ateseke kwa mambo mengi, na atakataliwa na viongozi na makuhani wakuu, na waandishi, na atauawa, na baada ya siku tatu atafufuka.
And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and [of] the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 Alisema haya kwa uwazi. Ndipo Petro akamchukua pembeni na akaanza kumkemea.
And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 Lakini Yesu aligeuka na kuwatazama wanafunzi wake na akamkemea Petro na kusema, “Pita nyuma yangu Shetani! Hujali mambo ya Mungu, isipokuwa mambo ya watu.”
But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
34 Kisha akauita umati na wanafunzi wake pamoja, na kuwaambia, “Kama kuna mtu anataka kunifuata, ajikane mwenyewe, achukue msalaba wake, na anifuate.
And when he had called the people [unto him] with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 Kwa kuwa yeyote anayetaka kuyaokoa maisha yake atayapoteza, na yeyote atakayepoteza maisha yake kwa ajili yangu na kwa ajili ya injili, atayaokoa.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.
36 Inamfaidia nini mtu, kupata ulimwengu wote, na kisha kupata hasara ya maisha yake?
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Mtu anaweza kutoa nini badala ya maisha yake?
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Yeyote anioneaye aibu na maneno yangu katika kizazi hiki cha wazinzi na kizazi cha wenye dhambi, Mwana wa Adamu atamwonea aibu atakapokuja katika ufalme wa Baba yake pamoja na malaika watakatifu.
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
