Marko 5
1 Basi, wakafika katika nchi ya Wagerase, ng'ambo ya ziwa.
Then they came to the country of the Gadarenes, on the opposite side of the sea;
2 Mara tu Yesu aliposhuka mashuani, mtu mmoja aliyepagawa na pepo mchafu alitoka makaburini, akakutana naye.
and he had no sooner stepped out of the boat, than a man out of the tombs came to meet him, a man with an unclean spirit,
3 Mtu huyo alikuwa akiishi makaburini wala hakuna mtu aliyeweza tena kumfunga kwa minyororo.
who lived among the tombs.
4 Mara nyingi walimfunga kwa pingu na minyororo lakini kila mara aliweza kuikata hiyo minyororo na kuzivunja hizo pingu, wala hakuna mtu aliyeweza kumzuia.
Not even with a chain could any man bind him, for he had been bound with fetters and chains again and again, and had snapped the chains, and broken the fetters; and there was no one strong enough to master him.
5 Mchana na usiku alikaa makaburini na milimani akipaaza sauti na kujikatakata kwa mawe.
And always, night and day, he remained among the tombs and in the mountains, shrieking and gashing himself with stones.
6 Alipomwona Yesu kwa mbali, alimkimbilia, akamwinamia
As he caught sight of Jesus from afar, he ran and knelt before him,
7 akisema kwa sauti kubwa, “Una shauri gani nami, wewe Yesu Mwana wa Mungu aliye juu? Kwa jina la Mungu, nakusihi usinitese!”
and with a shriek he cried out in a loud voice. "Jesus, son of God most high, what business have you with me? I adjure you by God, torment me not!"
8 (Alisema hivyo kwa kuwa Yesu alikuwa amemwambia, “Pepo mchafu, mtoke mtu huyu.”)
For Jesus was saying, "Foul spirit, come out of the man."
9 Basi, Yesu akamwuliza, “Jina lako nani?” Naye akajibu, “Jina langu ni Jeshi, maana sisi tu wengi.”
He continued asking him, "What is your mane?" "Legion is my name, for we are many."
10 Kisha akamsihi Yesu asiwafukuze hao pepo katika nchi ile.
Over and over he continued to beg Jesus not to send them away out of the country.
11 Kulikuwa na kundi kubwa la nguruwe malishoni kwenye mteremko wa mlima.
Now there was on the hillside a great drove of swine feeding.
12 Basi, hao pepo wakamsihi, “Utupeleke kwa hao nguruwe, tuwaingie.”
So the spirits begged him, saying, "Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them."
13 Naye akawaruhusu. Basi, hao pepo wachafu wakatoka, wakawaingia wale nguruwe. Kundi lote la nguruwe wapatao elfu mbili likaporomoka kwenye ule mteremko mkali mpaka ziwani, likatumbukia majini.
And he gave them leave. And out came the foul spirits and entered the swine; and the drove rushed down from the steep into the sea, in number about two thousand, and were choked in the sea.
14 Wachungaji wa hao nguruwe walikimbia, wakatangaza jambo hilo mjini na mashambani. Watu wakafika kuona yaliyotukia.
On this the swineherds ran away and spread the news in town and country. So the people went to see what had happened.
15 Wakamwendea Yesu, wakamwona na mtu yuleyule aliyekuwa amepagawa na jeshi la pepo ameketi chini, amevaa nguo na ana akili yake sawa, wakaogopa.
When they got to Jesus they found the demoniac sitting there clothed and in his right mind - the man who had had the "Legion" - and they were awestruck.
16 Watu walishuhudia tukio hilo wakaeleza wengine mambo yaliyompata huyo mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo na juu ya wale nguruwe.
And those who had been eye-witnesses told them what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine.
17 Basi, wakaanza kumwomba aondoke katika nchi yao.
Then they began to beg Jesus to depart from their district.
18 Yesu alipokuwa anapanda mashuani, yule mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo akamwomba amruhusu kwenda naye.
As he was getting into the boat the man who had been demon-possessed kept begging to go with him; but he said,
19 Lakini Yesu akamkatalia. Badala yake akamwambia, “Nenda nyumbani kwa jamaa yako, ukawaambie mambo yote Bwana aliyokutendea na jinsi alivyokuonea huruma.”
"Go home to your own people, and tell them what great things God has done for you, and has had mercy upon you."
20 Basi, huyo mtu akaenda, akaanza kutangaza huko Dekapoli mambo yote Yesu aliyomtendea; watu wote wakashangaa.
So he went and began to publish abroad in the District of the Ten Towns all that Jesus had done for him; and every one was astonished and all men marveled.
21 Yesu alivukia tena upande wa pili wa ziwa kwa mashua. Umati mkubwa wa watu ukakusanyika mbele yake, naye akawa amesimama kando ya ziwa.
Then after Jesus had recrossed in a boat to the other side, a vast multitude came crowding around him; so he stayed on the seashore.
22 Hapo akaja mmojawapo wa maofisa wa sunagogi, jina lake Yairo. Alipomwona Yesu, akajitupa mbele ya miguu yake,
Then one of the wardens of the synagogue, named Jairus, came up, and as soon as he saw Jesus, fell at his feet, with many entreaties,
23 akamsihi akisema, “Binti yangu mdogo ni mgonjwa karibu kufa. Twende tafadhali, ukamwekee mikono yako, apate kupona na kuishi.”
"My little daughter," he said, "is dying. I beseech you, come and lay your hands on her, that she may recover and live."
24 Basi, Yesu akaondoka pamoja naye. Watu wengi sana wakamfuata, wakawa wanamsonga kila upande.
So he went with him, and a great crowd followed him and thronged about him.
25 Mmojawapo alikuwa mwanamke mwenye ugonjwa wa kutokwa damu kwa muda wa miaka kumi na miwili.
Now there was a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years,
26 Mwanamke huyo alikuwa amekwisha sumbuka sana kuwaendea waganga wengi. Na ingawa alikuwa amekwisha tumia mali yake yote, hakupata nafuu bali hali yake ilizidi kuwa mbaya.
and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, but was no better; on the contrary, rather grew worse.
27 Alikuwa amesikia habari za Yesu, na hivyo akaupenya msongamano wa watu kutoka nyuma, akagusa vazi lake.
She had heard about Jesus, so she came in the crowd behind and touched his cloak.
28 Alifanya hivyo, maana alijisemea, “Nikigusa tu vazi lake, nitapona.”
"If I can touch even his clothes," she kept saying to herself, "I shall get well."
29 Mara chemchemi ya damu yake ikakauka, akajisikia mwilini mwake kwamba ameponywa ugonjwa wake.
At once the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her complaint.
30 Yesu alitambua mara kwamba nguvu imemtoka. Basi akaugeukia ule umati wa watu, akauliza, “Nani aliyegusa mavazi yangu?”
Jesus, instantly conscious that the power within him had gone forth, turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my clothes?"
31 Wanafunzi wake wakamjibu, “Unaona jinsi watu wanavyokusonga; mbona wauliza nani aliyekugusa?”
"You see the crowd thronging about you," said his disciples, "and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’"
32 Lakini Yesu akaendelea kutazama amwone huyo aliyefanya hivyo.
But he kept looking about to see who had done it,
33 Hapo huyo mwanamke, akifahamu yaliyompata, akajitokeza akitetemeka kwa hofu, akajitupa chini mbele ya Yesu na kusema ukweli wote.
and the woman knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 Yesu akamwambia, “Binti, imani yako imekuponya. Nenda kwa amani, upone kabisa ugonjwa wako.”
"Daughter," he said, "your faith has saved you. Go in peace, and be cured of your complaint."
35 Yesu alipokuwa bado anaongea, watu walifika kutoka nyumbani kwa yule ofisa wa sunagogi, wakamwambia, “Binti yako amekwisha kufa. Ya nini kuendelea kumsumbua Mwalimu?”
While he was still speaking men came from the house of the warden of the synagogue to tell him, "Your daughter is dead, why trouble the Teacher any further?"
36 Lakini, bila kujali walichosema, Yesu akamwambia mkuu wa sunagogi, “Usiogope, amini tu.”
But Jesus, paying no attention to the remark, said to the warden of the synagogue, "Have no fear, only believe."
37 Wala hakumruhusu mtu yeyote kufuatana naye ila Petro, Yakobo na Yohane nduguye Yakobo.
He would not permit any one to go with him, except Peter and Jamesand John, the brother of James.
38 Wakafika nyumbani kwa ofisa wa sunagogi naye Yesu akasikia makelele, kilio na maombolezo mengi.
As they came to the house of the warden of the synagogue, he gazed upon a tumult, many weeping and wailing shrilly.
39 Akaingia ndani, akawaambia, “Mbona mnapiga kelele na kulia? Msichana hakufa, amelala tu.”
"Why all this tumult and loud weeping?" he asked.
40 Lakini wao wakamcheka. Basi, akawaondoa wote nje, akawachukua baba na mama ya huyo msichana na wale wanafunzi wake, wakaingia chumbani alimokuwa huyo msichana.
"The child is not dead, but asleep." And they began to laugh him to scorn. Then he put them all outside, took the father and mother of the child and those he brought with him, and entered the room where the child was lying.
41 Kisha akamshika mkono, akamwambia, “Talitha, kumi,” maana yake, “Msichana, nakwambia, amka!”
Then he took the child’s hand and said to her, "Talitha, cumi," that is to say, "Little girl, I am speaking to you; arise!"
42 Mara msichana akasimama, akaanza kutembea. (Alikuwa na umri wa miaka kumi na miwili.) Hapo watu wakashangaa kupita kiasi.
And instantly the little girl stood up, and began to walk, for she was twelve years old, They were at once beside themselves with utter amazement.
43 Yesu akawakataza sana wasimjulishe mtu jambo hilo. Kisha akawaambia wampe huyo msichana chakula.
He, however, repeatedly cautioned them not to let any one know about it, and directed them to give her something to eat.
