Marko 1
1 Habari Njema ya Yesu Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu.
THE beginning of the gospel of Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God.
2 Ilianza kama ilivyoandikwa katika kitabu cha nabii Isaya: “Tazama, namtuma mjumbe wangu akutangulie; yeye atakutayarishia njia yako.
As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way.
3 Sauti ya mtu imesikika jangwani: Mtayarishieni Bwana njia yake, nyoosheni mapito yake.”
The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make smooth his paths.
4 Yohane Mbatizaji alitokea jangwani, akahubiri kwamba ni lazima watu watubu na kubatizwa ili Mungu awasamehe dhambi zao.
John baptized in the wilderness, and proclaimed the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
5 Watu kutoka sehemu zote za Yudea na wenyeji wote wa Yerusalemu walimwendea, wakaziungama dhambi zao, naye akawabatiza katika mto Yordani.
And there went out to him all the region of Judaea, and all the people of Jerusalem; and he baptized them in the river Jordan, while they confessed their sins.
6 Yohane alikuwa amevaa vazi lililofumwa kwa manyoya ya ngamia, na mkanda wa ngozi kiunoni mwake. Chakula chake kilikuwa nzige na asali ya mwituni.
And this John was clad in raiment of camels' hair; and was girded with a cincture of skin about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
7 Naye alihubiri akisema, “Baada yangu anakuja mwenye uwezo zaidi kuliko mimi, ambaye mimi sistahili hata kuinama na kufungua kamba za viatu vyake.
And he proclaimed, and said: Behold, after me cometh one more powerful than I, of whom I am not worthy to stoop and untie the fastenings of his shoes.
8 Mimi ninawabatiza kwa maji, lakini yeye atawabatiza kwa Roho Mtakatifu.”
I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.
9 Siku hizo, Yesu alifika kutoka Nazareti, mji wa Galilaya, akabatizwa na Yohane katika mto Yordani.
And it occurred, in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptized in Jordan by John.
10 Mara tu alipotoka majini, aliona mbingu zimefunguliwa, na Roho akishuka juu yake kama njiwa.
And immediately on his coming from the water, he saw the heavens cleft, and the Spirit descending like a dove upon him.
11 Sauti ikasikika kutoka mbinguni: “Wewe ni Mwanangu mpendwa, nimependezwa nawe.”
And there was a voice from the heavens: Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I delight.
12 Mara akaongozwa na Roho kwenda jangwani,
And directly the Spirit carried him into the wilderness:
13 akakaa huko siku arubaini akijaribiwa na Shetani. Alikuwa huko pamoja na wanyama wa porini, nao malaika wakawa wanamtumikia.
and he was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild beasts; and angels ministered to him.
14 Yohane alipokwisha fungwa gerezani, Yesu alikwenda Galilaya, akahubiri Habari Njema ya Mungu, akisema,
After John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, and proclaimed the tidings, of the kingdom of God,
15 “Wakati umetimia, na Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia. Tubuni na kuiamini Habari Njema!”
and said: The time is completed, and the kingdom of God is near. Repent ye, and believe the tidings.
16 Alipokuwa anapita kando ya ziwa Galilaya, aliwaona wavuvi wawili: Simoni na Andrea ndugu yake wakivua samaki kwa wavu.
And as he walked near the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
17 Yesu akawaambia, “Nifuateni nami nitawafanya ninyi wavuvi wa watu.”
And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
18 Mara wakaziacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata.
And immediately they left their nets, and went after him.
19 Alipokwenda mbele kidogo, aliwaona Yakobo na Yohane, wana wa Zebedayo. Nao pia walikuwa ndani ya mashua yao wakizitengeneza nyavu zao.
And as he passed on a little, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in a ship, and mending their nets.
20 Yesu akawaita mara, nao wakamwacha baba yao Zebedayo katika mashua pamoja na wafanyakazi, wakamfuata.
And he called them: and immediately they left Zebedee their father in the ship, with the hired servants, and went after him.
21 Wakafika mjini Kafarnaumu, na mara ilipofika Sabato, Yesu akaingia katika Sunagogi, akaanza kufundisha.
And when they entered Capernaum, he immediately taught on the sabbath in their synagogues.
22 Watu wote waliomsikia walishangazwa na mafundisho yake, maana hakuwa anafundisha kama walimu wao wa Sheria, bali kama mtu mwenye mamlaka.
And they were astonished at his doctrine; for he taught them, as having authority, and not as their Scribes.
23 Mara akatokea mle ndani ya sunagogi mtu mmoja mwenye pepo mchafu,
And in their synagogue was a man, in whom was an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 akapaaza sauti, “Una nini nasi, wewe Yesu wa Nazareti? Je, umekuja kutuangamiza? Najua wewe ni nani: wewe ni Mtakatifu wa Mungu!”
and said: What have we to do with thee? Jesus thou Nazarean. Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 Yesu akamkemea, “Nyamaza! Mtoke mtu huyu.”
And Jesus rebuked him, and said: Shut thy mouth, and come out of him.
26 Basi, huyo pepo mchafu akamtikisatikisa mtu huyo, kisha akalia kwa sauti kubwa, akamtoka.
And the unclean spirit threw him down, and cried with a loud voice, and came out of him.
27 Watu wote wakashangaa, wakaulizana, “Ni mambo gani haya? Je, ni mafundisho mapya? Mtu huyu anayo mamlaka ya kuamuru hata pepo wachafu, nao wanamtii!”
And they were all amazed, and inquired one of another, and said: What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
28 Habari za Yesu zikaenea upesi kila mahali katika wilaya ya Galilaya.
And immediately his fame spread into all the land of Galilee.
29 Wakatoka katika sunagogi, wakaenda moja kwa moja hadi nyumbani kwa Simoni na Andrea; Yakobo na Yohane walikwenda pamoja nao.
And he retired from the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Basi, mama mmoja, mkwewe Simoni, alikuwa kitandani ana homa kali. Wakamwarifu Yesu mara alipowasili.
And Simon's mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever: and they told him about her.
31 Yesu akamwendea huyo mama, akamshika mkono, akamwinua. Na ile homa ikamwacha, akaanza kuwatumikia.
And he came, and took her hand, and raised her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered to them.
32 Jioni, jua lilipokwisha tua, wakamletea Yesu wagonjwa wote na watu waliopagawa na pepo.
And in the evening at the setting of the sun, they brought to him all them that were diseased, and demoniacs.
33 Watu wote wa mji ule wakakusanyika nje ya mlango.
And all the city was collected at the door.
34 Naye Yesu akawaponya watu wengi waliokuwa na magonjwa mbalimbali; aliwafukuza pepo wengi, lakini hakuwaruhusu kusema kitu maana walikuwa wanamjua yeye ni nani.
And he healed many who labored under divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.
35 Kesho yake, kabla ya mapambazuko, Yesu alitoka, akaenda mahali pa faragha kusali.
And in the morning, he rose much before others, and retired to a solitary place, and there prayed.
36 Simoni na wenzake wakaenda kumtafuta.
And Simon and his associates sought for him.
37 Walipomwona wakamwambia, “Kila mtu anakutafuta.”
And when they found him, they said to him: Every body is seeking for thee.
38 Yesu akawaambia, “Twendeni katika miji mingine ya jirani nikahubiri huko pia, maana nimekuja kwa sababu hiyo.”
And he said to them: Go into the adjacent villages and towns; for there also I will preach, because therefore have I come.
39 Basi, akaenda kila mahali Galilaya akihubiri katika masunagogi na kufukuza pepo.
And he preached in all their synagogues, in all Galilee, and cast out demons.
40 Mtu mmoja mwenye ukoma alimwendea Yesu, akapiga magoti, akamwomba, “Ukitaka, waweza kunitakasa!”
And a leper came to him, and fell at his feet, and entreated him, and said to him: If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41 Yesu akamwonea huruma, akanyosha mkono wake, akamgusa na kumwambia, “Nataka, takasika!”
And Jesus had compassion on him, and stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said: I will; be thou clean.
42 Mara ukoma ukamwacha mtu huyo, akatakasika.
And in that hour, his leprosy departed from him, and he became clean.
43 Kisha Yesu akamwambia aende zake upesi na kumwonya vikali,
And he charged him, and sent him away,
44 “Usimwambie mtu yeyote jambo hili, ila nenda ukajionyeshe kwa kuhani; kisha utoe sadaka kwa ajili ya kutakasika kwako kama alivyoamuru Mose, iwe uthibitisho kwao kwamba umepona.”
and he said to him: See that thou tell no person; but go, show thyself to the priests, and offer an oblation on account of thy purification, as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
45 Lakini huyo mtu akaenda, akaanza kueneza habari hiyo kila mahali na kusema mambo mengi hata Yesu hakuweza tena kuingia katika mji wowote waziwazi; ikamlazimu kukaa nje, mahali pa faragha. Hata hivyo, watu wakamwendea kutoka kila upande.
And he, as he went out, began to proclaim it much, and to divulge the matter; so that Jesus could not openly go into the city, but was without, in desert places; and they came to him from every quarter.
