< Mathayo 8 >

1 Wakati Yesu aliposhuka chini kutoka mlimani, umati mkubwa ulimfuata.
And upon his coming down from the mountain, many multitudes followed him.
2 Tazama, mkoma alikuja na kusujudu mbele yake, akasema, “Bwana, ikiwa uko tayari, unaweza kunifanya niwe safi”.
And behold, a leper who came, worshiped him, saying, Lord, if thou will, thou can cleanse me.
3 Yesu akanyoosha mkono wake na kumgusa, akasema, “Niko tayari. Uwe msafi.” Hapo hapo alitakaswa ukoma wake.
And having reached out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying, I will, be thou cleansed. And straightaway his leprosy was cleansed.
4 Yesu akamwambia, “Angalia kwamba usiseme kwa mtu yeyote. Shika njia yako, na jioneshe mwenyewe kwa kuhani na utoe zawadi ambayo Musa aliagiza, kwa ajili ya ushuhuda kwao”
And Jesus says to him, See thou speak to no man, but go, show thyself to the priest, and bring the gift that Moses commanded for a testimony to them.
5 Wakati Yesu alipofika Kapernaumu, Jemedari akaja kwake akamuuliza
And upon his entering into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, beseeching him,
6 akisema, “Bwana, mtumishi wangu amelala nyumbani amepooza na ana maumivu ya kutisha.”
and saying, Lord, my boy has been laid down in the house, paralyzed, extremely tormented.
7 Yesu akamwambia, “Nitakuja na kumponya”.
And Jesus says to him, after coming I will heal him.
8 Jemedari akajibu na kumwambia, “Bwana, mimi si wathamani hata uje na kuingia ndani ya dari yangu, sema neno tu na mtumishi wangu ataponywa.
And having answered, the centurion said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou should come under my roof, but only speak the word, and my boy will be healed.
9 Kwa kuwa mimi pia ni mtu niliye na mamlaka, na ninao askari walio chini yangu. Nikisema kwa huyu “Nenda' na huenda, na kwa mwingine 'Njoo' na yeye huja, na kwa mtumishi wangu, 'Fanya hivi,' na yeye anafanya hivyo”
For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under myself. And I say to this man, Go, and he goes, and to another, Come, and he comes, and to my bondman, Do this, and he does it.
10 Wakati Yesu aliposikia haya, alishangazwa na kuwaambia wale waliokuwa wakimfuata, “Kweli ninawaambia, Sijapata kuona mtu mwenye imani kama huyu katika Israel.
And when Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed, Truly I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.
11 Ninawambieni, wengi watakuja kutoka mashariki na magharibi, wataketi katika meza pamoja na Abrahimu, Isaka, na Yakobo, katika ufame wa mbinguni.
And I say to you, that many will come from east and west, and will sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of the heavens,
12 Lakini watoto wa ufalme watatupwa katika giza la nje, ambapo kutakuwa na kilio na kusaga meno.”
but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
13 Yesu akamwambia Jemadari, “Nenda! Kama ulivyokwisha amini, na itendeke hivyo kwako”. Na mtumishi aliponywa katika saa hiyo.
And Jesus said to the centurion, Go thou. And as thou have believed, be it done to thee. And his boy was healed in that hour.
14 Wakati Yesu alipofika kwenye nyumba ya Petro, alimwona mama mkwe wake na Petro amelala akiwa mgonjwa wa homa.
And when Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law, having been laid down, and feverish.
15 Yesu akamgusa mkono wake, na homa yake ikamwacha. kisha akaamka akaanza kumhudumia.
And he touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she was raised up, and served him.
16 Na ilipofika jioni, watu wakamletea Yesu wengi waliotawaliwa na pepo. Akawafukuza pepo na wale walio wagonjwa akawaponya.
And having become evening, they brought to him many being demon possessed. And he cast out the spirits by word, and healed all those faring badly,
17 Kwa jinsi hii yalitimia yale yaliyo kwisha kunenwa na Isaya nabii, “Yeye mwenyewe alichukua magonjwa yetu na alibeba maradhi yetu”
so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, He himself took our infirmities, and bore our diseases.
18 Kisha Yesu alipoliona kusanyiko limemzunguka, alitoa maelekezo ya kwenda upande mwingine wa Bahari ya Galilaya.
Now when Jesus saw many multitudes around him, he commanded to depart to the other side.
19 Kisha mwandishi akaja kwake na kumwambia, “Mwalimu, nitakufuata popote utakapoenda.”
And a certain scholar having come, he said to him, Teacher, I will follow thee wherever thou may go.
20 Yesu akamwambia, “Mbweha wana mashimo, na ndege wa angani wana viota, lakini mwana wa Adamu hana sehemu ya kulaza kichwa chake.”
And Jesus says to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky, nests, but the Son of man has nowhere he may lay his head.
21 Mwanafunzi mwingine akamwambia, “Bwana, niruhusu kwanza niende kumzika baba yangu.”
And another of his disciples said to him, Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.
22 Lakini Yesu akamwambia, “Nifuate, na uwaache wafu wazike wafu wao.”
But Jesus said to him, Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.
23 Yesu alipoingia kwenye mtumbwi, wanafunzi wake wakamfuata mtumbwini.
And upon his entering into the boat, his disciples followed him.
24 Tazama, ikainuka dhoruba kuu juu ya bahari, kiasi kwamba mtumbwi ulifunikwa na mawimbi. Lakini Yesu alikuwa amelala.
And behold, a great tempest developed in the sea, so as for the boat to be covered by the waves, but he was sleeping.
25 Wanafunzi wakaja kwake na kumwamsha wakisema, “Bwana, tuokoe sisi, tunaelekea kufa!”
And the disciples having approached, they awoke him, saying, Save us, Lord, we are perishing.
26 Yesu akawaambia, “kwa nini mnaogopa, ninyi wenye imani ndogo?” Ndipo akaamka na kuukemea upepo na bahari. Kisha kukawa na utulivu mkuu,
And he says to them, Why are ye cowardly, O ye of little faith? Then after rising, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there became a great calm.
27 wanaume wakashikwa na mshangao wakasema, “Huyu mtu niwa namna gani, kwamba hata pepo na bahari vinamtii yeye?”
But the men marveled, saying, What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?
28 Wakati Yesu alipokuwa amekuja upande mwingine wa nchi ya Magadala, wanaume wawili waliotawaliwa na pepo walikutana naye. Walikuwa wakitokea makaburini na walikuwa wakifanya vurugu sana, kiasi kwamba hakuna msafiri angeweza kupita njia ile.
And upon his coming to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two men being demon possessed met him, coming out of the sepulchers, exceedingly fierce, so that no man could pass by that way.
29 Tazama, walipaza sauti na kusema, “Tuna nini cha kufanya kwako, mwana wa Mungu? Umekuja hapa kututesa kabla ya wakati kufika?”
And behold, they cried out, saying, What is with us and thee, Jesus, Son of God? Did thou come here before the time to torment us?
30 Sasa kundi kubwa la nguruwe lilikuwa likichunga, hapakuwa mbali sana walipokuwa,
Now there was afar off from them a herd of many swine feeding.
31 pepo waliendelea kulalamika kwa Yesu na kusema. “Ikiwa utatuamuru kutoka, tupeleke kwenye kundi la nguruwe.”
And the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, allow us to go away into the herd of swine.
32 Yesu akawaambia, “Nendeni!” Pepo wakawatoka na kwenda kwa nguruwe. Na tazama, kundi lote likashuka kutoka mlimani kuteremkia baharini na lote likafia majini.
And he said to them, Go. And having come out, they went into the herd of swine. And behold, the whole herd of the swine stampeded down the slope into the sea, and perished in the waters.
33 Wanaume waliokuwa wakichunga nguruwe walikimbia. Na walipoenda mjini wakaelezea kila kitu, hususani kilichotokea kwa wanaume waliotawaliwa na mapepo.
And those who tended them fled, and having gone into the city, they told everything, also the things of the men being demon possessed.
34 Tazama, mji mzima ukaja kukutana na Yesu. Walipomwona, walimsihi aondoke kwenye mkoa wao.
And behold, the whole city came out to a meeting with Jesus. And having seen him, they besought him that he would depart from their regions.
