Mathayo 8
1 Wakati Yesu aliposhuka chini kutoka mlimani, umati mkubwa ulimfuata.
When he had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
2 Tazama, mkoma alikuja na kusujudu mbele yake, akasema, “Bwana, ikiwa uko tayari, unaweza kunifanya niwe safi”.
And behold, there came a leper and worshiped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
3 Yesu akanyoosha mkono wake na kumgusa, akasema, “Niko tayari. Uwe msafi.” Hapo hapo alitakaswa ukoma wake.
And Jesus put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately 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 saith to him, See thou tell no man; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
5 Wakati Yesu alipofika Kapernaumu, Jemedari akaja kwake akamuuliza
And when Jesus had entered into Capernaum, there came to him a centurion, beseeching him,
6 akisema, “Bwana, mtumishi wangu amelala nyumbani amepooza na ana maumivu ya kutisha.”
And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick with the palsy, grievously tormented.
7 Yesu akamwambia, “Nitakuja na kumponya”.
And Jesus saith to him, I will come and 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.
The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant 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 am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this [man], Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth [it].
10 Wakati Yesu aliposikia haya, alishangazwa na kuwaambia wale waliokuwa wakimfuata, “Kweli ninawaambia, Sijapata kuona mtu mwenye imani kama huyu katika Israel.
When Jesus heard [it], he marveled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
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 shall come from the east and the west, and shall 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 children of the kingdom shall be cast out into utter darkness: there shall be weeping and 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, Depart; and as thou hast believed, so be it done to thee. And his servant was healed in the same hour.
14 Wakati Yesu alipofika kwenye nyumba ya Petro, alimwona mama mkwe wake na Petro amelala akiwa mgonjwa wa homa.
And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick with a fever.
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 arose, and ministered to them.
16 Na ilipofika jioni, watu wakamletea Yesu wengi waliotawaliwa na pepo. Akawafukuza pepo na wale walio wagonjwa akawaponya.
When the evening was come, they brought to him many that were possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with [his] word, and healed all that were sick;
17 Kwa jinsi hii yalitimia yale yaliyo kwisha kunenwa na Isaya nabii, “Yeye mwenyewe alichukua magonjwa yetu na alibeba maradhi yetu”
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, He himself took our infirmities, and bore [our] sicknesses.
18 Kisha Yesu alipoliona kusanyiko limemzunguka, alitoa maelekezo ya kwenda upande mwingine wa Bahari ya Galilaya.
Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart to the other side.
19 Kisha mwandishi akaja kwake na kumwambia, “Mwalimu, nitakufuata popote utakapoenda.”
And a certain scribe came, and said to him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
20 Yesu akamwambia, “Mbweha wana mashimo, na ndege wa angani wana viota, lakini mwana wa Adamu hana sehemu ya kulaza kichwa chake.”
And Jesus saith to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay [his] head.
21 Mwanafunzi mwingine akamwambia, “Bwana, niruhusu kwanza niende kumzika baba yangu.”
And another of his disciples said to him, Lord, suffer 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 let the dead bury their dead.
23 Yesu alipoingia kwenye mtumbwi, wanafunzi wake wakamfuata mtumbwini.
And when he had entered into a 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, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
25 Wanafunzi wakaja kwake na kumwamsha wakisema, “Bwana, tuokoe sisi, tunaelekea kufa!”
And his disciples came to [him], and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
26 Yesu akawaambia, “kwa nini mnaogopa, ninyi wenye imani ndogo?” Ndipo akaamka na kuukemea upepo na bahari. Kisha kukawa na utulivu mkuu,
And he saith to them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was 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 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.
And when he had come to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might 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 have we [to do] with thee, Jesus, [thou] Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
30 Sasa kundi kubwa la nguruwe lilikuwa likichunga, hapakuwa mbali sana walipokuwa,
And there was a good way 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.”
So the demons besought him, saying, If thou expellest us, suffer 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 when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine: and behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place 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 they that kept them, fled, and went into the city, and told every thing; and what had befallen to the possessed with demons.
34 Tazama, mji mzima ukaja kukutana na Yesu. Walipomwona, walimsihi aondoke kwenye mkoa wao.
And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their borders.
