Mathayo 8
1 Wakati Yesu aliposhuka chini kutoka mlimani, umati mkubwa ulimfuata.
As he went down from the mountain, great crowds followed him.
2 Tazama, mkoma alikuja na kusujudu mbele yake, akasema, “Bwana, ikiwa uko tayari, unaweza kunifanya niwe safi”.
And behold! a leper came and knelt before him, saying, "Lord if you choose, you can make me clean."
3 Yesu akanyoosha mkono wake na kumgusa, akasema, “Niko tayari. Uwe msafi.” Hapo hapo alitakaswa ukoma wake.
Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him "I do choose," he said, "become clean," and immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy.
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”
Jesus said to him, "See that you tell no one, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded, as an evidence to them."
5 Wakati Yesu alipofika Kapernaumu, Jemedari akaja kwake akamuuliza
When he entered Capernaum, an army captain came, and entered him,
6 akisema, “Bwana, mtumishi wangu amelala nyumbani amepooza na ana maumivu ya kutisha.”
saying, "Lord, my slave at home is lying ill with paralysis, in terrible agony."
7 Yesu akamwambia, “Nitakuja na kumponya”.
"I will come and heal him," said Jesus.
8 Jemedari akajibu na kumwambia, “Bwana, mimi si wathamani hata uje na kuingia ndani ya dari yangu, sema neno tu na mtumishi wangu ataponywa.
"Lord, "said the captain in reply, "I am not worthy to have you under my roof, but speak the word only, and my slave will be cured,
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 myself also am a man under authority, and I have soldiers under me. To one man I say ‘Go,’ and he goes; to another,’Come,’ and he comes; and to my slave, ‘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.
As Jesus listened to this reply he was astonished, and said to those who followed him. "In solemn truth I tell you that I have found faith like this in any Israelite.
11 Ninawambieni, wengi watakuja kutoka mashariki na magharibi, wataketi katika meza pamoja na Abrahimu, Isaka, na Yakobo, katika ufame wa mbinguni.
"I tell you that many will come from the east and from the west, and sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
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 wailing and the gnashing of teeth."
13 Yesu akamwambia Jemadari, “Nenda! Kama ulivyokwisha amini, na itendeke hivyo kwako”. Na mtumishi aliponywa katika saa hiyo.
Then Jesus said to the captain. "Go! As you have believed, so be it unto you." And his slave was healed in that very hour.
14 Wakati Yesu alipofika kwenye nyumba ya Petro, alimwona mama mkwe wake na Petro amelala akiwa mgonjwa wa homa.
When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he found his wife’s mother prostrated with fever.
15 Yesu akamgusa mkono wake, na homa yake ikamwacha. kisha akaamka akaanza kumhudumia.
He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose and waited upon him.
16 Na ilipofika jioni, watu wakamletea Yesu wengi waliotawaliwa na pepo. Akawafukuza pepo na wale walio wagonjwa akawaponya.
At evening-time they brought to him many demoniacs. He cast out the demons with a word, and healed all who were ill,
17 Kwa jinsi hii yalitimia yale yaliyo kwisha kunenwa na Isaya nabii, “Yeye mwenyewe alichukua magonjwa yetu na alibeba maradhi yetu”
that the word spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, He took upon himself our weaknesses, and bore the burden of our diseases.
18 Kisha Yesu alipoliona kusanyiko limemzunguka, alitoa maelekezo ya kwenda upande mwingine wa Bahari ya Galilaya.
When Jesus saw the great crowds about him, he had given directions to cross to the other side,
19 Kisha mwandishi akaja kwake na kumwambia, “Mwalimu, nitakufuata popote utakapoenda.”
when a Scribe came up and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go!"
20 Yesu akamwambia, “Mbweha wana mashimo, na ndege wa angani wana viota, lakini mwana wa Adamu hana sehemu ya kulaza kichwa chake.”
"Foxes have their holes," answered Jesus, "and wild birds their roosting-places, but the Son of man has not where to lay his head."
21 Mwanafunzi mwingine akamwambia, “Bwana, niruhusu kwanza niende kumzika baba yangu.”
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.”
"Follow me," Jesus said to him, "and leave the dead to bury their own dead."
23 Yesu alipoingia kwenye mtumbwi, wanafunzi wake wakamfuata mtumbwini.
Then he went in board a fishing-boat, his disciples accompanying him;
24 Tazama, ikainuka dhoruba kuu juu ya bahari, kiasi kwamba mtumbwi ulifunikwa na mawimbi. Lakini Yesu alikuwa amelala.
and behold, a sudden storm arose on the sea, so that the boat began to be buried by the waves.
25 Wanafunzi wakaja kwake na kumwamsha wakisema, “Bwana, tuokoe sisi, tunaelekea kufa!”
But he was asleep. And they came and woke him, saying. "Lord save us! We are drowning!"
26 Yesu akawaambia, “kwa nini mnaogopa, ninyi wenye imani ndogo?” Ndipo akaamka na kuukemea upepo na bahari. Kisha kukawa na utulivu mkuu,
"Why are you afraid?" he said, "you men of little faith!" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there came a great calm.
27 wanaume wakashikwa na mshangao wakasema, “Huyu mtu niwa namna gani, kwamba hata pepo na bahari vinamtii yeye?”
But the men were amazed, saying, "What manner 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.
When he arrived on the other side, in the country of the Gadarenes, he was met by two demoniacs who were coming out of the tombs. They were so violently fierce that no one dared pass along that road.
29 Tazama, walipaza sauti na kusema, “Tuna nini cha kufanya kwako, mwana wa Mungu? Umekuja hapa kututesa kabla ya wakati kufika?”
"You Son of God," they shouted, "what have you to do with us? Are you come to torment us before the time?"
30 Sasa kundi kubwa la nguruwe lilikuwa likichunga, hapakuwa mbali sana walipokuwa,
Now there was, at some distance 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 began entreating him. "If you are driving us out," they said, "send us 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.
He answered, "Go!" So they came out of the men, and went into the swine, and behold! the entire herd rushed headlong down from the cliff into the sea, and perished in the water.
33 Wanaume waliokuwa wakichunga nguruwe walikimbia. Na walipoenda mjini wakaelezea kila kitu, hususani kilichotokea kwa wanaume waliotawaliwa na mapepo.
The swineherds fled. They went away into the city and told all about it, and what had befallen the demoniacs.
34 Tazama, mji mzima ukaja kukutana na Yesu. Walipomwona, walimsihi aondoke kwenye mkoa wao.
At once all the citizens came out to meet Jesus; and when they had seen him, they begged him to move away from their country.
