Marko 1
1 Huu ni mwanzo wa injili ya Yesu Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu.
Beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
2 Kama ilivyoandikwa na nabii Isaya, “Tazama, ninamtuma mjumbe wangu mbele yako, mmoja atakayetayarisha njia yako.
even as it is written in the prophet Isaiah, Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face to prepare your way.
3 Sauti ya mtu aitaye nyikani, “Ikamilisheni njia ya Bwana; zinyosheni njia zake”.
The voice of one crying aloud. In the desert make ready a road for the Lord. Make his paths straight.
4 Yohana alikuja, akibatiza nyikani na kuhubiri ubatizo wa toba kwa msamaha wa dhambi.
In the desert came Johnwho baptized, and preached a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
5 Nchi yote ya Yudea na watu wote wa Yerusalemu walikwenda kwake. Walikuwa wakibatizwa naye katika mto Yordani, wakiungama dhambi zao.
and all the land of Judea, and all the people of Jerusalem, kept going out to him, and were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
6 Yohana alikuwa anavaa vazi la manyoya ya ngamia na mkanda wa ngozi kiunoni mwake, na alikuwa anakula nzige na asali ya porini.
And Johnwas clothed with camel’s hair, and he had a leather girdle round his loins, and he ate locusts, and "honey of the wood."
7 Alihubiri na kusema, “Yupo mmoja anakuja baada yangu mwenye nguvu zaidi kuliko mimi, na sina hadhi hata ya kuinama chini na kufungua kamba za viatu vyake.
He made proclamation. "There is One mightier than I coming after me, and I am not worthy to stoop down and unfasten his sandal strap;
8 Mimi niliwabatiza kwa maji, lakini yeye atawabatiza ninyi kwa Roho Mtakatifu.”
I have baptized you in water, but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit."
9 Ilitokea katika siku hizo kwamba Yesu alikuja kutoka Nazareti ya Galilaya, na alibatizwa na Yohana katika mto Yordani.
It was at that time that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by Johnin the Jordan;
10 Wakati Yesu alipoinuka kutoka majini, aliona mbingu zimegawanyika wazi na Roho akishuka chini juu yake kama njiwa.
and as soon as he rose from the water he saw the sky cleft asunder, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him,
11 Na sauti ilitoka mbinguni, “Wewe ni Mwanangu mpendwa. Ninapendezwa sana na wewe.”
and a voice from the sky. "Thou art my Son, my beloved; in thee is my delight."
12 Kisha mara moja Roho akamlazimisha kwenda nyikani.
Then the Spirit drove him at once into the desert,
13 Alikuwako nyikani siku arobaini, akijaribiwa na Shetani. Alikuwa pamoja na wanyama wa mwituni, na malaika walimhudumia.
and he remained in the desert for forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was among the wild beasts, but the angels were ministering to him.
14 Sasa baada ya Yohana kukamatwa, Yesu alikuja Galilaya akitangaza injili ya Mungu,
After Johnhad been thrown into prison Jesus came into Galilee preaching the gospel of God.
15 akisema, “Muda umetimia, na ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia. Tubuni na kuamini katika injili”.
"The time is now come," he said, "and the kingdom of God is near! Repent and believe the gospel."
16 Na akipita kando ya bahari ya Galilaya, alimwona Simoni na Andrea ndugu wa Simoni wakitupa nyavu zao katika bahari, kwa kuwa walikuwa wavuvi.
And as he was passing along by the sea of Galilee he saw Simon and Andrew, Simon’s brother, casting their net into the sea, for they were fishermen;
17 Yesu aliwaambia, “Njoni, nifuateni, na nitawafanya wavuvi wa watu.”
so Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men."
18 Na mara moja waliacha nyavu na wakamfuata.
At once they left their nets and followed him.
19 Wakati Yesu alipotembea umbali kidogo, alimwona Yakobo mwana wa Zebedayo na Yohana ndugu yake; walikuwa kwenye mtumbwi wakitengeneza nyavu.
As he went a little farther on he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and Johnhis brother, who also were in their boat mending the nets.
20 Mara aliwaita na wao walimwacha baba yao Zebedayo ndani ya mtumbwi na watumishi waliokodiwa, wakamfuata.
Straightway he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants and went after him.
21 Na walipofika Kaperinaumu, siku ya Sabato, Yesu aliingia kwenye sinagogi na kufundisha.
So they came to Capernaum, and as soon as the Sabbath Day came he went into the synagogue and began to teach.
22 Walilishangaa fundisho lake, kwa vile alikuwa akiwafundisha kama mtu ambaye ana mamlaka na siyo kama waandishi.
They were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them with authority, not like the Scribes.
23 Wakati huo huo kulikuwa na mtu katika sinagogi lao aliyekuwa na roho mchafu, na alipiga kelele,
And at that very moment, there in their synagogue, a man in the grip of an unclean spirit shrieked out.
24 akisema, “Tuna nini cha kufanya na wewe, Yesu wa Nazareti? Umekuja kutuangamiza? Nakujua u nani. Wewe ni Mtakatifu pekee wa Mungu!”
"What business have you with us, you Jesus of Nazareth? Are you come to destroy us? I know you who you are, the Holy One of God."
25 Yesu alimkemea pepo na kusema, “Nyamaza na utoke ndani yake!”
But Jesus rebuked him, saying. "Be quit! Come out of him."
26 Na roho mchafu alimwangusha chini na akatoka kwake wakati akilia kwa sauti ya juu.
So the unclean spirit, after tearing him, came out of him with a loud cry;
27 Na watu wote walishangaa, hivyo wakaulizana kila mmoja, “Hii ni nini? Fundisho jipya lenye mamlaka? Hata huamuru pepo wachafu nao wanamtii!”
and every one was amazed so that they began questioning among themselves. "What does this mean? A new teaching with authority? He lays commands even upon unclean spirits and they obey him."
28 Na habari kuhusu yeye mara moja zikasambaa kila mahali ndani ya mkoa wote wa Galilaya.
And at once his fame spread everywhere through that part of Galilee.
29 Na mara moja baada ya kutoka nje ya sinagogi, waliingia nyumbani mwa Simoni na Andrea wakiwa na Yakobo na Yohana.
On leaving the synagogue they went at once with Jamesand Johnto the house of Simon and Andrew.
30 Sasa mama mkwe wa Simoni alikuwa amelala mgonjwa wa homa, na mara moja walimwambia Yesu habari zake.
Now Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick of fever, and without delay they told him about her.
31 Hivyo alikuja, alimshika kwa mkono, na kumwinua juu; homa ikaondoka kwake, na akaanza kuwahudumia.
So he came and took her hand and raised her up. The fever left her at once, and she began to wait upon them.
32 Jioni hiyo wakati jua limekwisha zama, walimletea kwake wote waliokuwa wagonjwa, au waliopagawa na pepo.
At evening when the sun had set, people came and brought to him all the sick and demon-possessed,
33 Mji wote walikusanyika pamoja katika mlango.
and the whole town was gathered at the door.
34 Aliwaponya wengi waliokuwa wagonjwa wa magonjwa mbalimbali na kutoa pepo wengi, bali hakuruhusu pepo kuongea kwa sababu walimjua.
He cured many who were ill with various diseases, and drove out many demons. But he did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who he was.
35 Aliamka asubuhi na mapema, wakati ilikuwa bado giza; aliondoka na kwenda mahali pa faragha na aliomba huko.
In the morning he rose a great while before day and went out to a desert place, and there prayed.
36 Simoni na wote waliokuwa pamoja naye walimtafuta.
And Simon and his companions hunted him up,
37 Walimpata na wakamwambia, “Kila mmoja anakutafuta”
and told him, "Every one is looking for you."
38 Aliwaambia, “Twendeni mahali pengine, nje katika miji inayozunguka, ili niweze kuhubiri huko pia. Ndiyo sababu nilikuja hapa.”
"Let us go away," he answered, "to the neighboring country towns, that I may preach there, too; because for that purpose I came forth."
39 Alikwenda akipita Galilaya yote, akihubiri katika masinagogi yao na kukemea pepo.
So he went throughout Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and driving out demons.
40 Mwenye ukoma mmoja alikuja kwake. Alikuwa akimsihi; alipiga magoti na alimwambia, “Kama unataka, waweza kunifanya niwe safi.”
One day a leper cane to him and besought him as he knelt down to him, saying, "If you choose, you are able to cleanse me."
41 Akisukumwa na huruma, Yesu alinyosha mkono wake na kumgusa, akimwambia, “Ninataka. Uwe msafi.”
Jesus, moved with compassion, put out his hand and touched him, saying, "I do choose, be clean!"
42 Mara moja ukoma ukamtoka, na alifanywa kuwa safi.
The leprosy at once left him, and he was made clean.
43 Yesu akamwonya vikali na akamwambia aende mara moja,
Jesus immediately sent him away, charging him sternly and saying.
44 Alimwambia, “Hakikisha hausemi neno kwa yeyote, lakini nenda, ujionyeshe kwa kuhani, na utoe dhabihu kwa ajili ya utakaso ambayo Musa aliagiza, kama ushuhuda kwao.”
"See you say nothing to any one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your purification what Moses commanded for a testimony to them."
45 Lakini alikwenda na kuanza kumwambia kila mmoja na kueneza neno zaidi hata Yesu hakuweza tena kuingia mjini kwa uhuru. Hivyo alikaa mahali pa faragha na watu walikuja kwake kutoka kila mahali.
But he went out and began to tell every one and to publish it broadcast, so that Jesus could no longer enter any town openly; but he had to remain outside in lonely places, and people kept coming to him from every quarter.
