Marko 6
1 Yesu aliondoka hapo akaenda katika kijiji chake, akifuatwa na wanafunzi wake.
And He came out thence and comes into His own country; and His disciples follow Him:
2 Siku ya Sabato ilipofika, alianza kufundisha katika sunagogi. Wengi waliomsikia walishangaa, wakasema, “Je, ameyapata wapi mambo haya? Ni hekima gani hii aliyopewa? Tena, anatendaje maajabu haya anayoyafanya?
and it being the Sabbath day, He began to preach in the synagogue: and many hearing were astonished, saying, Whence are these things to this one? and, What wisdom is given unto Him? Such miracles are wrought by His hands.
3 Je, huyu si yule seremala mwana wa Maria, na ndugu yao kina Yakobo, Yose, Yuda na Simoni; Je, dada zake si wanaishi papa hapa kwetu?” Basi, wakawa na mashaka naye.
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary? the brother of James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? Are not His sisters here with us? And they were offended in Him.
4 Yesu akawaambia, “Nabii hakosi heshima isipokuwa katika nchi yake, kwa jamaa zake na nyumbani mwake.”
And Jesus said to them; A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, and among his relatives, and in his own house.
5 Hakuweza kutenda miujiza hapo, ila aliwawekea mikono wagonjwa wachache, akawaponya.
And He was not able to do any miracle there, except laying hands on a few sick people, He healed them.
6 Alishangaa sana kwa sababu ya kutoamini kwao. Kisha Yesu alivitembelea vijiji vya pale karibu akiwafundisha watu.
And He was astonished on account of their unbelief. And He went about the villages in a circuit teaching.
7 Aliwaita wale wanafunzi kumi na wawili, akaanza kuwatuma wawiliwawili. Aliwapa uwezo wa kuwatoa pepo wachafu,
And He calls the twelve to Him, and began to send them out two by two; and He gave them authority over unclean spirits.
8 na kuwaamuru, “Msichukue chochote mnapokwenda isipokuwa fimbo tu. Msichukue mkate, wala mkoba, wala fedha kibindoni.
And He commanded them that they should take nothing for the way except staff only; no valise, no bread, no money in the girdle;
9 Vaeni viatu lakini msivae kanzu mbili.”
but having put on your sandals: and put not on two coats.
10 Tena aliwaambia, “Popote mtakapokaribishwa nyumbani, kaeni humo mpaka mtakapoondoka mahali hapo.
And He said to them, Into whatsoever house you may enter, there abide until you may go out from thence.
11 Mahali popote ambapo watu watakataa kuwakaribisheni au kuwasikiliza, ondokeni hapo na kuyakung'uta mavumbi miguuni mwenu kama onyo kwao.”
And whatsoever place may not receive you nor hear you, going forth thence, shake off the dust which is beneath your feet for a testimony unto them.
12 Basi, wakaondoka, wakahubiri watu watubu.
And having gone out they preached that they must repent;
13 Waliwafukuza pepo wengi wabaya; wakawapaka mafuta wagonjwa wengi, wakawaponya.
and they cast out many demons; and anointed many sick with oil, and healed them.
14 Basi, mfalme Herode alisikia juu ya hayo yote, maana sifa za Yesu zilienea kila mahali. Baadhi ya watu walikuwa wakisema, “Yohane Mbatizaji amefufuka kutoka wafu, ndiyo maana nguvu za miujiza zinafanya kazi ndani yake.”
And king Herod heard; for His name became known: and said, John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works are wrought in Him.
15 Wengine walisema, “Mtu huyu ni Eliya.” Wengine walisema, “Huyu ni nabii kama mmojawapo wa manabii wa kale.”
And others continued to say, That He is Elijah; and others continued to say that He is a prophet, indeed one of the prophets.
16 Lakini Herode alipopata habari hizi alisema, “Huyu ni Yohane! Nilimkata kichwa, lakini amefufuka.”
But Herod hearing said, That, He is John, whom I beheaded; He is risen from the dead.
17 Hapo awali Herode mwenyewe alikuwa ameamuru Yohane atiwe nguvuni, akamfunga gerezani. Herode alifanya hivyo kwa sababu ya Herodia ambaye Herode alimwoa ingawaje alikuwa mke wa Filipo, ndugu yake.
For Herod himself having sent, arrested John, and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip: because he married her.
18 Yohane alikuwa amemwambia Herode, “Si halali kwako kumchukua mke wa ndugu yako.”
For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have the wife of thy brother.
19 Basi Herodia alimchukia sana Yohane, akataka kumwua, asiweze.
And Herodias hated him, and wished to kill him; and was not able;
20 Herode alimwogopa Yohane kwa maana alijua kwamba yeye ni mtu mwema na mtakatifu, na hivyo akamlinda. Herode alipenda kumsikiliza Yohane, ingawaje baada ya kumsikiliza, alifadhaika sana.
for Herod was afraid of John, knowing him to be a just and holy man, and he continued to hold him in prison: and hearing him, he continued to do many things, and he was hearing him gladly.
21 Ikapatikana nafasi, wakati wa sikukuu ya kuzaliwa kwake Herode. Herode aliwafanyia karamu wazee wa baraza lake, majemadari na viongozi wa Galilaya.
And it being a high day, when Herod on his birthday made a feast to his mighty men, and chiliarchs, and the first men of Galilee;
22 Basi, binti yake Herodia aliingia, akacheza, akawafurahisha sana Herode na wageni wake. Mfalme akamwambia huyo msichana, “Niombe chochote utakacho, nami nitakupa.”
and the daughter of Herodias herself, having come in and danced, and pleased Herod and those sitting with him; the king said to the damsel. Ask what you may wish, and I will give it to you.
23 Tena akamwapia, “Chochote utakachoniomba, nitakupa: hata ikiwa ni nusu ya ufalme wangu.”
And he promised her, I will give you whatsoever you may ask, even unto the half of my kingdom.
24 Hapo huyo msichana akatoka, akamwuliza mama yake, “Niombe nini?” Naye akamjibu, “Kichwa cha Yohane mbatizaji.”
And having gone out, she said to her mother, What shall I ask And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
25 Msichana akamrudia mfalme mbio akamwomba, “Nataka unipe sasa hivi katika sinia kichwa cha Yohane mbatizaji.”
And she having come in to the king, immediately with haste asked him, saying; I wish, that you may give to me immediately, the head of John the Baptist in a charger.
26 Mfalme akahuzunika sana, lakini kwa sababu ya kiapo chake, na kwa ajili ya wale wageni wake karamuni, hakutaka kumkatalia.
And the king being grieved exceedingly; on account of his oaths, and those sitting with him, was not willing to reject her.
27 Basi, mfalme akamwamuru askari kukileta kichwa cha Yohane. Askari akaenda, akamkata kichwa Yohane mle gerezani,
And the king immediately sending forth a soldier of his guard, commanded that his head should be brought.
28 akakileta katika sinia, akampa msichana naye msichana akampa mama yake.
And having departed, he beheaded him in prison: and brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.
29 Wanafunzi wa Yohane walipopata habari, walikwenda wakachukua mwili wake, wakauzika kaburini.
And his disciples having heard, came and took his body, and put it in a sepulcher.
30 Wale mitume walirudi, wakakusanyika mbele ya Yesu wakamwarifu yote waliyotenda na kufundisha.
The apostles return to Jesus, and related unto Him all things, even so many as they did, and so many as they taught.
31 Alisema hivyo kwa kuwa kulikuwa na watu wengi mno walikuwa wanafika hapo na kuondoka hata Yesu na wanafunzi wake hawakuweza kupata nafasi ya kula chakula. Basi, Yesu akawaambia, “Twendeni peke yetu mahali pa faragha kula chakula, mkapumzike kidogo.”
And He said to them, Come ye privately into a desert place, and rest a little while. For many were coming and going, neither had they leisure even to eat.
32 Basi, Wakaondoka peke yao kwa mashua, wakaenda mahali pa faragha.
And they came away into a desert place privately in a ship.
33 Lakini watu wengi waliwaona wakienda, wakawatambua. Hivyo wengi wakatoka katika kila mji, wakakimbilia huko Yesu na wanafunzi wake walikokuwa wanakwenda, wakawatangulia kufika.
And the multitudes saw them going, and many recognized them, and they ran together thither on foot from many cities, and came before them and came together to Him.
34 Waliposhuka pwani, Yesu aliona umati mkubwa wa watu, akawahurumia, kwa sababu walikuwa kama kondoo wasio na mchungaji. Akaanza kuwafundisha mambo mengi.
And Jesus having come out saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion in their behalf, because they were as sheep having no shepherd: and He began to teach them many things.
35 Saa za mchana zilikwisha pita. Basi, wanafunzi wakamwendea Yesu, wakamwambia, “Hapa ni nyikani, na sasa kunakuchwa.
And already the hour being late, His disciples coming to Him, say, That it is a desert place, and the hour is already late:
36 Afadhali uwaage watu waende mashambani na katika vijiji vya jirani, wanunue chakula.”
send them away, that having gone into the surrounding country and the villages, they may purchase for themselves bread: for they have not what they may eat.
37 Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Wapeni ninyi chakula.” Nao wakamwuliza, “Je, twende kununua mikate kwa fedha dinari mia mbili, na kuwapa chakula?”
And responding He said to them, You give to them to eat. And they say to Him, Having gone away must we purchase the loaves of two hundred denaria, and give them to eat?
38 Yesu akawauliza, “Mnayo mikate mingapi? Nendeni mkatazame.” Walipokwisha tazama, wakamwambia, “Kuna mikate mitano na samaki wawili.”
And He says to them; How many loaves have you? go and see. And having ascertained, they say, five loaves and two fishes.
39 Basi, Yesu akawaamuru wanafunzi wawaketishe watu wote makundimakundi penye nyasi.
And He commanded them all to sit down in companies on the green grass.
40 Nao wakaketi makundimakundi ya watu mia moja na ya watu hamsini.
And they sat down in ranks, about one hundred, and about fifty.
41 Kisha Yesu akaitwaa ile mikate mitano na wale samaki wawili, akatazama juu mbinguni, akamshukuru Mungu, akaimega mikate, akawapa wanafunzi wake wawagawie watu. Na wale samaki wawili pia akawagawia wote.
And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, He blessed them; and broke the loaves, and gave them to His disciples, that they should dispense to them; and He divided the two fishes among all.
42 Watu wote wakala, wakashiba.
And they all ate, and were filled;
43 Wakaokota mabaki ya mikate na samaki pia, wakajaza vikapu kumi na viwili.
and they took up the fragments, twelve baskets full, and from the fishes.
44 Nao waliokula hiyo mikate walikuwa wanaume elfu tano.
And those eating the bread were five thousand men.
45 Mara Yesu akawaamuru wanafunzi wake wapande mashua, wamtangulie kwenda Bethsaida, ng'ambo ya ziwa, wakati yeye anauaga umati wa watu.
And immediately He constrained His disciples to embark into the ship, and go before Him to the other side to Bethsaida, until He shall send away the multitude.
46 Baada ya kuwaaga watu alikwenda mlimani kusali.
And having dismissed them, He went away into the mountain to pray.
47 Ilipokuwa jioni, mashua ilikuwa katikati ya ziwa, naye alikuwa peke yake katika nchi kavu.
And it being evening, the ship was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone upon the land.
48 Basi, akawaona wanafunzi wake wakitaabika kwa kupiga makasia, maana upepo ulikuwa unawapinga. Karibu na mapambazuko, Yesu aliwaendea akitembea juu ya maji. Alitaka kuwapita.
And He seeing them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary to them, and about the fourth watch of the night He comes to them, walking on the sea; and He wished to pass by them.
49 Lakini walimwona akitembea juu ya maji, wakadhani ni mzimu, wakapiga yowe.
But they, seeing Him walking on the sea, thought it was a specter, and cried out.
50 Maana wote walipomwona waliogopa sana. Mara Yesu akasema nao, “Tulieni, ni mimi. Msiogope!”
For they all saw Him, and were alarmed. And immediately He spoke with them, and says to them, Be of good cheer; I am He; be not afraid.
51 Kisha akapanda mashuani walimokuwa, na upepo ukatulia. Nao wakashangaa sana.
And He went up to them into the ship; and the wind ceased. And they were exceedingly much astonished among themselves, and continued to marvel.
52 maana hawakuwa bado wameelewa maana ya ile mikate. Akili zao zilikuwa bado zimepumbazika.
For they did not understand concerning the loaves, for their heart was hardened.
53 Walivuka ziwa, wakafika nchi ya Genesareti, wakatia nanga.
And having crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret; and they disembarked.
54 Walipotoka mashuani, mara watu wakamtambua Yesu.
And they having come out from the ship, immediately recognizing Him,
55 Basi, kwa haraka wakazunguka katika nchi ile yote, wakaanza kuwachukua wagonjwa wamelala juu ya mikeka yao, wakawapeleka kila mahali waliposikia Yesu yupo.
they were running round all that country, and they began to carry the sick on beds, when they heard that He is there.
56 Kila mahali Yesu alipokwenda, vijijini, mijini, au mashambani, watu waliwaweka wagonjwa uwanjani, wakamsihi waguse walau pindo la vazi lake. Nao wote waliomgusa walipona.
And when He departed into the villages, or cities, or countries, they placed the sick in the forums, and call upon Him, and continued to intreat Him that they should touch the hem of His garment: and so many as touched Him were saved.
