Marko 10
1 Yesu alitoka hapo akaenda mkoani Yudea na hata ng'ambo ya mto Yordani. Umati wa watu ukamwendea tena, naye akawafundisha tena kama ilivyokuwa desturi yake.
And he arose from there, and came to the border of Judaea, on the other side the Jordan. And great multitudes came to him there; and again he instructed them, as he was accustomed.
2 Basi, Mafarisayo wakamwendea, na kwa kumjaribu wakamwuliza, “Je, ni halali mtu kumpa talaka mkewe?”
And the Pharisees came to him, and, tempting him, inquired if it were lawful for a man to divorce his wife.
3 Yesu akawajibu, “Mose aliwapa maagizo gani?”
He said to them: What did Moses command you?
4 Nao wakasema, “Mose aliagiza mume kumpatia mkewe hati ya talaka na kumwacha.”
They said: Moses permitted us to write a bill of divorce, and send her away.
5 Yesu akawaambia, “Mose aliwaandikia amri hiyo kwa sababu ya ugumu wa mioyo yenu.
Jesus answered and said to them: On account of the hardness of your heart, Moses wrote you this precept.
6 Lakini tangu kuumbwa ulimwengu, Mungu aliumba mwanamume na mwanamke.
But, from the beginning, God made them a male and a female.
7 Hivyo mwanamume atawaacha baba yake na mama yake, ataungana na mkewe,
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and adhere to his wife:
8 nao wawili watakuwa mwili mmoja. Kwa hiyo, wao si wawili tena bali mwili mmoja.
and they two shall be one flesh. Wherefore they are not two, but one flesh.
9 Basi, alichounganisha Mungu, binadamu asitenganishe.”
What therefore God hath conjoined, let not man separate.
10 Walipoingia tena ndani ya nyumba, wanafunzi wake walimwuliza juu ya jambo hilo.
And in the house, the disciples asked him again of this matter.
11 Naye akawaambia, “Anayemwacha mkewe na kuoa mwingine, anazini dhidi ya mkewe.
And he said to them: Whoever shall divorce his wife, and take another, committeth adultery.
12 Na mwanamke anayemwacha mumewe na kuolewa na mwingine anazini.”
And if a woman shall leave her husband, and marry another, she committeth adultery.
13 Watu walimletea Yesu watoto wadogo ili awaguse, lakini wanafunzi wakawakemea.
And they brought little children to him, that he might touch them. But his disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14 Yesu alipoona hivyo, alikasirika akawaambia, “Waacheni hao watoto waje kwangu, wala msiwazuie, kwa maana Ufalme wa Mungu ni kwa ajili ya watu walio kama watoto hawa.
And when Jesus saw it, he was displeased; and he said to them, Suffer little children to come to me, and forbid them not; for of those like them is the kingdom of God.
15 Nawaambieni kweli, mtu yeyote asiyeupokea Ufalme wa Mungu kama mtoto mdogo hataingia katika Ufalme huo.”
Verily I say to you, That whoever doth not receive the kingdom of God, like a little child, shall not enter it.
16 Kisha akawapokea watoto hao, akawawekea mikono, akawabariki.
And he took them in his arms, and laid his hand on them and blessed them.
17 Yesu alipoanza tena safari yake, mtu mmoja alimjia mbio, akapiga magoti mbele yake, akamwuliza, “Mwalimu mwema, nifanyeje ili niupate uzima wa milele?” (aiōnios g166)
And as he walked in the way, one ran and fell upon his knees, and asked him, and said: Good Teacher, what must I do, to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
18 Yesu akamjibu, “Mbona unaniita mwema? Hakuna aliye mwema ila Mungu peke yake.
Jesus saith to him: Why callest thou me good? There is none good, but one, God.
19 Unazijua amri: Usizini; Usiue; Usiibe; Usitoe ushahidi wa uongo; Usidanganye; Waheshimu baba na mama yako.”
Thou knowest the commandments; thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not give false testimony, thou shalt not defraud; honor thy father and thy mother.
20 Naye akamjibu, “Mwalimu, hayo yote nimeyazingatia tangu ujana wangu.”
And he answered, and said to him: Teacher, all these have I kept from my childhood.
21 Yesu akamtazama, akampenda, akamwambia, “Umepungukiwa na kitu kimoja: nenda ukauze vitu ulivyo navyo, uwape maskini, nawe utakuwa na hazina mbinguni; kisha njoo unifuate.”
And Jesus looked on him, and loved him, and said to him: One thing thou lackest. Go, sell all that thou possessest, and give to the poor, and there will be a treasure for thee in heaven; and take thy cross, and come after me.
22 Aliposikia hayo, alisikitika, akaenda zake akiwa na huzuni, kwa maana alikuwa na mali nyingi.
And he was made sad by that speech, and went away sorrowing: for he possessed great riches.
23 Yesu akatazama pande zote, akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Jinsi gani itakavyokuwa vigumu kwa matajiri kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu!”
And Jesus looked upon his disciples, and said to them: How hard for those who possess wealth, to enter into the kingdom of God!
24 Wanafunzi walishangazwa na maneno yake. Yesu akawaambia tena, “Watoto wangu, ni vigumu sana kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu!
And the disciples wondered at the remark. And Jesus, replied again, and said to them: My children, how hard it is, for those who trust in riches, to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 Ni rahisi zaidi ngamia kupenya katika tundu la sindano, kuliko tajiri kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu.”
It is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
26 Wanafunzi wake wakashangaa sana wakaulizana, “Ni nani basi, atakayeweza kuokoka?”
And they wondered the more, and said among themselves: Who can obtain life!
27 Yesu akawatazama, akawaambia, “Kwa binadamu haiwezekani, lakini kwa Mungu si hivyo, maana kwa Mungu mambo yote huwezekana.”
And Jesus looked on them again, and said to them: With men, this is not possible, but with God it is; for with God all things are possible.
28 Petro akamwambia, “Na sisi je? Tumeacha yote, tukakufuata!”
And Cephas began to say: Lo, we have left every thing, and have cleaved to thee.
29 Yesu akasema, “Kweli nawaambieni, kila mtu aliyeacha nyumba, au ndugu, au dada, au mama, au baba, au watoto au mashamba kwa ajili yangu na kwa ajili ya Habari Njema,
Jesus answered and said: Verily I say to you, There is no man that leaveth houses, or brothers or sisters, or father or mother, or wife or children, for my sake, and for the sake of my tidings,
31 Lakini wengi walio wa kwanza watakuwa wa mwisho, na walio wa mwisho watakuwa wa kwanza.”
But many are first, who will be last; and last, who will be first.
32 Basi, walikuwa njiani kwenda Yerusalemu, na Yesu alikuwa anawatangulia. Wanafunzi wake walijawa na hofu, na watu waliofuata waliogopa. Yesu akawachukua tena kando wale kumi na wawili, akaanza kuwaambia yale yatakayompata:
And as they were in the way, going up to Jerusalem, Jesus went before them: and they were amazed, and walked after him with trembling. And he took his twelve, and began to tell them what was to befall him.
33 “Sikilizeni! Tunakwenda Yerusalemu, na huko Mwana wa Mtu atakabidhiwa kwa makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria, nao watamhukumu auawe na kumkabidhi kwa watu wa mataifa.
Behold, we are going to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and the Scribes; and they will condemn him to die, and will deliver him over to the Gentiles.
34 Nao watamdhihaki; watamtemea mate, watampiga mijeledi na kumwua. Na baada ya siku tatu atafufuka.”
And they will mock him, and will scourge him, and will spit in his face, and will kill him; and on the third day he will arise.
35 Yakobo na Yohane, wana wa Zebedayo, walimwendea Yesu wakamwambia, “Mwalimu, tunataka utufanyie kitu tutakachokuomba.”
And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him, and said to him: Teacher, we desire that thou wouldst do for us all that we ask.
36 Yesu akawauliza, “Mnataka niwafanyie nini?”
He saith to them: What would ye, that I should do for you?
37 Wakamjibu, “Uturuhusu tuketi mmoja upande wako wa kulia na mwingine upande wako wa kushoto katika utukufu wa Ufalme wako.”
They say to him: Grant to us, that one may sit on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy glory.
38 Yesu akawaambia, “Hamjui mnachoomba! Je, mnaweza kunywa kikombe nitakachokunywa, au kubatizwa kama nitakavyobatizwa?”
But he said to them: Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup, of which I drink? and to be baptized with the baptism, that I am baptized with?
39 Wakamjibu, “Tunaweza.” Yesu akawaambia, “Kikombe nitakachokunywa mtakinywa kweli, na mtabatizwa kama nitakavyobatizwa.
They say to him: We are able. Jesus saith to them: The cup that I drink, ye will drink, and the baptism that I am baptized with, ye will be baptized with:
40 Lakini ni nani atakayeketi kulia au kushoto kwangu si wajibu wangu kupanga, bali nafasi hizo watapewa wale waliotayarishiwa.”
But that ye should sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine o give, except to those for whom it is prepared.
41 Wale wanafunzi wengine kumi waliposikia hayo, walianza kuchukizwa na Yakobo na Yohane.
And when the ten heard it, they began to murmur against James and John.
42 Yesu akawaita, akawaambia, “Mnajua kwamba wale wanaofikiriwa kuwa watawala wa mataifa huwatawala watu wao kwa mabavu, na wakuu hao huwamiliki watu wao.
And Jesus called them, and said to them: Ye know, that they who are accounted chiefs of the nations, are their lords; and their great men have authority over them.
43 Lakini kwenu isiwe hivyo, ila anayetaka kuwa mkuu kati yenu, sharti awe mtumishi wenu.
But it shall not be so among you: but he that would be great among you, must be a servitor to you.
44 Anayetaka kuwa wa kwanza, sharti awe mtumishi wa wote.
And he of you that would be first, must be servant to every one.
45 Maana Mwana wa Mtu hakuja kutumikiwa, ila alikuja kutumikia, na kutoa maisha yake kuwa fidia ya watu wengi.”
And also the Son of man came, not to be served, but to serve; and to give his life a ransom for many.
46 Basi, wakafika Yeriko, naye Yesu alipokuwa anatoka katika mji huo akiwa na wanafunzi wake pamoja na umati mkubwa wa watu, kipofu mwombaji aitwaye Bartimayo mwana wa Timayo alikuwa ameketi kando ya barabara.
And they came to Jericho. And as Jesus went out of Jericho, he and his disciples and a great multitude; Timeus, the son of Timeus, a blind man, was sitting by the side of the way, and begging.
47 Aliposikia kwamba ni Yesu wa Nazareti aliyekuwa anapita mahali hapo, alianza kupaaza sauti, “Yesu, Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!”
And he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarean; and he began to cry out, and to say: Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
48 Watu wengi walimkemea ili anyamaze, lakini yeye akazidi kupaaza sauti, “Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!”
And many rebuked him, that he might be silent. But he cried out the more, and said: Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
49 Yesu alisimama, akasema, “Mwiteni.” Basi, wakamwita huyo kipofu, wakamwambia, “Jipe moyo! Simama, anakuita.”
And Jesus stood, and directed him to be called. And they called the blind man, and said to him: Take courage: arise, he calleth thee.
50 Naye akatupilia mbali vazi lake, akaruka juu, akamwendea Yesu.
And the blind man cast off his garment and arose, and went to Jesus.
51 Yesu akamwuliza, “Unataka nikufanyie nini?” Huyo kipofu akamwambia, “Mwalimu, naomba nipate kuona.”
Jesus said to him: What wilt thou, that I do for thee? And the blind man said to him: Rabbi, that I may have sight.
52 Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda, imani yako imekuponya.” Mara huyo kipofu akaweza kuona, akamfuata Yesu njiani.
And Jesus said to him: Go; thy faith hath procured thee life. And immediately his sight was restored; and he followed after him.
