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 thence and came into the coasts of Judea, through the country beyond Jordan: and the people resorted to Him again; and, as He was wont, He taught them again.
2 Basi, Mafarisayo wakamwendea, na kwa kumjaribu wakamwuliza, “Je, ni halali mtu kumpa talaka mkewe?”
And the pharisees came to Him and asked Him, "if it were lawful for a man to put away his wife," tempting Him.
3 Yesu akawajibu, “Mose aliwapa maagizo gani?”
And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
4 Nao wakasema, “Mose aliagiza mume kumpatia mkewe hati ya talaka na kumwacha.”
And they said, Moses permitted a man to write a bill of divorce, and to put her away.
5 Yesu akawaambia, “Mose aliwaandikia amri hiyo kwa sababu ya ugumu wa mioyo yenu.
And Jesus replied, He wrote this precept on account of your cruel tempers:
6 Lakini tangu kuumbwa ulimwengu, Mungu aliumba mwanamume na mwanamke.
but from the beginning of the world, God created them male and female.
7 Hivyo mwanamume atawaacha baba yake na mama yake, ataungana na mkewe,
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,
8 nao wawili watakuwa mwili mmoja. Kwa hiyo, wao si wawili tena bali mwili mmoja.
and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh: so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 Basi, alichounganisha Mungu, binadamu asitenganishe.”
Therefore let not man separate what God hath joined together.
10 Walipoingia tena ndani ya nyumba, wanafunzi wake walimwuliza juu ya jambo hilo.
And when they were in the house his disciples asked Him again about it:
11 Naye akawaambia, “Anayemwacha mkewe na kuoa mwingine, anazini dhidi ya mkewe.
and He told them, Whoever putteth away his wife and marrieth another, committeth adultery against her.
12 Na mwanamke anayemwacha mumewe na kuolewa na mwingine anazini.”
And if a woman be divorced from her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
13 Watu walimletea Yesu watoto wadogo ili awaguse, lakini wanafunzi wakawakemea.
And they brought to Him little children that He might touch them: and the disciples rebuked those that 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.
Which Jesus observing, was much displeased, and said to them, Let the children come to me; and hinder them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Nawaambieni kweli, mtu yeyote asiyeupokea Ufalme wa Mungu kama mtoto mdogo hataingia katika Ufalme huo.”
Verily I tell you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall by no means enter into it.
16 Kisha akawapokea watoto hao, akawawekea mikono, akawabariki.
And He took them in his arms, and put his hands upon 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 went out into the way, there came one running and kneeling to Him, and asked Him, Good master, what shall I do, that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
18 Yesu akamjibu, “Mbona unaniita mwema? Hakuna aliye mwema ila Mungu peke yake.
And Jesus said unto him, Why dost thou call me good? there is none good, but one, that is God.
19 Unazijua amri: Usizini; Usiue; Usiibe; Usitoe ushahidi wa uongo; Usidanganye; Waheshimu baba na mama yako.”
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour thy father and thy mother.
20 Naye akamjibu, “Mwalimu, hayo yote nimeyazingatia tangu ujana wangu.”
And he answered and said unto Him, Master, all these have I kept from my youth.
21 Yesu akamtazama, akampenda, akamwambia, “Umepungukiwa na kitu kimoja: nenda ukauze vitu ulivyo navyo, uwape maskini, nawe utakuwa na hazina mbinguni; kisha njoo unifuate.”
Then Jesus looked upon him with affection, and said to him, One thing thou wantest; go, sell all that thou hast, and give it to the poor; and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross and follow me.
22 Aliposikia hayo, alisikitika, akaenda zake akiwa na huzuni, kwa maana alikuwa na mali nyingi.
But he was sad at that saying, and went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.
23 Yesu akatazama pande zote, akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Jinsi gani itakavyokuwa vigumu kwa matajiri kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu!”
And Jesus looking round about saith to his disciples, How difficultly shall they that have riches 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 were astonished at his words. But Jesus repeating it, saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them, that 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 pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Wanafunzi wake wakashangaa sana wakaulizana, “Ni nani basi, atakayeweza kuokoka?”
And they were exceedingly amazed, saying one to another, Who then can be saved?
27 Yesu akawatazama, akawaambia, “Kwa binadamu haiwezekani, lakini kwa Mungu si hivyo, maana kwa Mungu mambo yote huwezekana.”
But Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.
28 Petro akamwambia, “Na sisi je? Tumeacha yote, tukakufuata!”
Then Peter said to Him, Behold we have left all, and followed 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,
And Jesus answered and said, Verily I tell you, there is no one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children,
31 Lakini wengi walio wa kwanza watakuwa wa mwisho, na walio wa mwisho watakuwa wa kwanza.”
But many that are first shall be last, and the last 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 they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed at it, and afraid to follow Him. And again taking the twelve aside, He began to tell them what things should befal 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.
saying, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, and deliver Him to the Gentiles;
34 Nao watamdhihaki; watamtemea mate, watampiga mijeledi na kumwua. Na baada ya siku tatu atafufuka.”
and they will insult Him, and scourge Him, and spit upon Him, and put Him to death: but on the third day He shall rise again.
35 Yakobo na Yohane, wana wa Zebedayo, walimwendea Yesu wakamwambia, “Mwalimu, tunataka utufanyie kitu tutakachokuomba.”
Then come to Him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying, Master, we desire that thou wouldest do for us what we shall request:
36 Yesu akawauliza, “Mnataka niwafanyie nini?”
and He said to them, What do ye desire me to do for you?
37 Wakamjibu, “Uturuhusu tuketi mmoja upande wako wa kulia na mwingine upande wako wa kushoto katika utukufu wa Ufalme wako.”
they said unto Him, Grant that we may sit, one 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 Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink of the cup, that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
39 Wakamjibu, “Tunaweza.” Yesu akawaambia, “Kikombe nitakachokunywa mtakinywa kweli, na mtabatizwa kama nitakavyobatizwa.
And they said, We can. And Jesus said unto them, The cup indeed which I drink, ye shall drink of; and with the baptism, that I am baptized with, shall ye be baptized:
40 Lakini ni nani atakayeketi kulia au kushoto kwangu si wajibu wangu kupanga, bali nafasi hizo watapewa wale waliotayarishiwa.”
but to sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine to give, but for whom it is prepared.
41 Wale wanafunzi wengine kumi waliposikia hayo, walianza kuchukizwa na Yakobo na Yohane.
And when the other ten heard it, they were provoked at 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.
But Jesus called them to Him, and said unto them, Ye know that those who rule among the Gentiles, lord it over them, and their grandees exercise authority upon 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 whoever would be great among you shall be your minister;
44 Anayetaka kuwa wa kwanza, sharti awe mtumishi wa wote.
and whoever of you would be first shall be servant of all.
45 Maana Mwana wa Mtu hakuja kutumikiwa, ila alikuja kutumikia, na kutoa maisha yake kuwa fidia ya watu wengi.”
For the Son of man came not to be ministred unto, but to minister 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 He was going out of Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, sat by the way-side begging.
47 Aliposikia kwamba ni Yesu wa Nazareti aliyekuwa anapita mahali hapo, alianza kupaaza sauti, “Yesu, Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!”
And hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, 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 hold his peace: but he cried out so much the more, Thou son of David, have pity on me.
49 Yesu alisimama, akasema, “Mwiteni.” Basi, wakamwita huyo kipofu, wakamwambia, “Jipe moyo! Simama, anakuita.”
And Jesus stopt, and ordered him to be called: so they called the blind man, and said to him, Be of good courage, rise up, He calleth thee.
50 Naye akatupilia mbali vazi lake, akaruka juu, akamwendea Yesu.
And he threw off his outer garment, and arose, and came to Jesus.
51 Yesu akamwuliza, “Unataka nikufanyie nini?” Huyo kipofu akamwambia, “Mwalimu, naomba nipate kuona.”
And Jesus said to him, What dost thou desire that I should do for thee? And the blind man said to Him, Lord, that I may recover my sight.
52 Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda, imani yako imekuponya.” Mara huyo kipofu akaweza kuona, akamfuata Yesu njiani.
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way, thy faith has cured thee. And he immediately recovered his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
