Marko 6
1 Yesu aliondoka hapo akaenda katika kijiji chake, akifuatwa na wanafunzi wake.
And he went out from there and came into his own country, and his disciples followed 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 when the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things?" and, "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about 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 Miriam, and brother of Jacob, Josi, Judah, and Shim'on? Are not his sisters here with us?" They were offended at him.
4 Yesu akawaambia, “Nabii hakosi heshima isipokuwa katika nchi yake, kwa jamaa zake na nyumbani mwake.”
Yeshua said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house."
5 Hakuweza kutenda miujiza hapo, ila aliwawekea mikono wagonjwa wachache, akawaponya.
And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people, and healed them.
6 Alishangaa sana kwa sababu ya kutoamini kwao. Kisha Yesu alivitembelea vijiji vya pale karibu akiwafundisha watu.
And he was amazed because of their unbelief. And he went around the villages teaching.
7 Aliwaita wale wanafunzi kumi na wawili, akaanza kuwatuma wawiliwawili. Aliwapa uwezo wa kuwatoa pepo wachafu,
And he called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the 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 their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no pack, no money in their belts,
9 Vaeni viatu lakini msivae kanzu mbili.”
but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.
10 Tena aliwaambia, “Popote mtakapokaribishwa nyumbani, kaeni humo mpaka mtakapoondoka mahali hapo.
And he said to them, "Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.
11 Mahali popote ambapo watu watakataa kuwakaribisheni au kuwasikiliza, ondokeni hapo na kuyakung'uta mavumbi miguuni mwenu kama onyo kwao.”
And if any place will not receive you or listen to you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them."
12 Basi, wakaondoka, wakahubiri watu watubu.
So they went out and proclaimed that all should repent.
13 Waliwafukuza pepo wengi wabaya; wakawapaka mafuta wagonjwa wengi, wakawaponya.
They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick, 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.”
King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, "John the Immerser has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him."
15 Wengine walisema, “Mtu huyu ni Eliya.” Wengine walisema, “Huyu ni nabii kama mmojawapo wa manabii wa kale.”
But others said, "He is Elijah." Others said, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets."
16 Lakini Herode alipopata habari hizi alisema, “Huyu ni Yohane! Nilimkata kichwa, lakini amefufuka.”
But Herod, when he heard this, said, "This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen."
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 had sent out and arrested John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, for he had 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 you to have your brother's wife."
19 Basi Herodia alimchukia sana Yohane, akataka kumwua, asiweze.
So Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but she could not,
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 feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed, but he heard 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 then a convenient day came, that Herod on his birthday gave a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the leaders of Galil.
22 Basi, binti yake Herodia aliingia, akacheza, akawafurahisha sana Herode na wageni wake. Mfalme akamwambia huyo msichana, “Niombe chochote utakacho, nami nitakupa.”
And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young woman, "Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you."
23 Tena akamwapia, “Chochote utakachoniomba, nitakupa: hata ikiwa ni nusu ya ufalme wangu.”
And he swore to her, "Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom."
24 Hapo huyo msichana akatoka, akamwuliza mama yake, “Niombe nini?” Naye akamjibu, “Kichwa cha Yohane mbatizaji.”
So she went out, and said to her mother, "What should I ask?" And she said, "The head of John, the one immersing."
25 Msichana akamrudia mfalme mbio akamwomba, “Nataka unipe sasa hivi katika sinia kichwa cha Yohane mbatizaji.”
And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, "I want you to give me right now the head of John the Immerser on a platter."
26 Mfalme akahuzunika sana, lakini kwa sababu ya kiapo chake, na kwa ajili ya wale wageni wake karamuni, hakutaka kumkatalia.
And the king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths, and of his dinner guests, he did not wish to refuse her.
27 Basi, mfalme akamwamuru askari kukileta kichwa cha Yohane. Askari akaenda, akamkata kichwa Yohane mle gerezani,
So immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring John's head, and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
28 akakileta katika sinia, akampa msichana naye msichana akampa mama yake.
and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young woman; and the young woman gave it to her mother.
29 Wanafunzi wa Yohane walipopata habari, walikwenda wakachukua mwili wake, wakauzika kaburini.
And when his talmidim heard this, they came and took up his corpse, and placed it in a tomb.
30 Wale mitume walirudi, wakakusanyika mbele ya Yesu wakamwarifu yote waliyotenda na kufundisha.
Then the emissaries gathered themselves together to Yeshua, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had 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 away by yourselves to an isolated place, and rest awhile." For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
32 Basi, Wakaondoka peke yao kwa mashua, wakaenda mahali pa faragha.
So they went away in the boat to an isolated place by themselves.
33 Lakini watu wengi waliwaona wakienda, wakawatambua. Hivyo wengi wakatoka katika kila mji, wakakimbilia huko Yesu na wanafunzi wake walikokuwa wanakwenda, wakawatangulia kufika.
But they saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities and they arrived before them.
34 Waliposhuka pwani, Yesu aliona umati mkubwa wa watu, akawahurumia, kwa sababu walikuwa kama kondoo wasio na mchungaji. Akaanza kuwafundisha mambo mengi.
And he came out, saw a large crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a 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 when it was late in the day, his talmidim came to him, and said, "This place is desolate, and it is late in the day.
36 Afadhali uwaage watu waende mashambani na katika vijiji vya jirani, wanunue chakula.”
Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages, and buy themselves something to eat."
37 Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Wapeni ninyi chakula.” Nao wakamwuliza, “Je, twende kununua mikate kwa fedha dinari mia mbili, na kuwapa chakula?”
But he answered them, "You give them something to eat." They asked him, "Are we to go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give them something to eat?"
38 Yesu akawauliza, “Mnayo mikate mingapi? Nendeni mkatazame.” Walipokwisha tazama, wakamwambia, “Kuna mikate mitano na samaki wawili.”
He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go see." When they knew, they said, "Five, and two fish."
39 Basi, Yesu akawaamuru wanafunzi wawaketishe watu wote makundimakundi penye nyasi.
He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass.
40 Nao wakaketi makundimakundi ya watu mia moja na ya watu hamsini.
They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.
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.
He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his talmidim to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them all.
42 Watu wote wakala, wakashiba.
They all ate, and were filled.
43 Wakaokota mabaki ya mikate na samaki pia, wakajaza vikapu kumi na viwili.
They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish.
44 Nao waliokula hiyo mikate walikuwa wanaume elfu tano.
Those who ate the loaves 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 made his talmidim get into the boat, and to go ahead to the other side, to Beit Tzaidah, while he himself sent the crowd away.
46 Baada ya kuwaaga watu alikwenda mlimani kusali.
After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.
47 Ilipokuwa jioni, mashua ilikuwa katikati ya ziwa, naye alikuwa peke yake katika nchi kavu.
When evening had come, the boat was in the midst of the lake, and he was alone on 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.
He saw them distressed in rowing, for the wind was against them. In the watch between three and six in the morning he came to them, walking on the lake, and he would have passed by them,
49 Lakini walimwona akitembea juu ya maji, wakadhani ni mzimu, wakapiga yowe.
but they, when they saw him walking on the lake, supposed that it was a ghost, and began to scream;
50 Maana wote walipomwona waliogopa sana. Mara Yesu akasema nao, “Tulieni, ni mimi. Msiogope!”
for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them, and said to them, "Cheer up. It is I. Do not be afraid."
51 Kisha akapanda mashuani walimokuwa, na upepo ukatulia. Nao wakashangaa sana.
And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were completely profusely astonished among themselves;
52 maana hawakuwa bado wameelewa maana ya ile mikate. Akili zao zilikuwa bado zimepumbazika.
for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
53 Walivuka ziwa, wakafika nchi ya Genesareti, wakatia nanga.
When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.
54 Walipotoka mashuani, mara watu wakamtambua Yesu.
When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,
55 Basi, kwa haraka wakazunguka katika nchi ile yote, wakaanza kuwachukua wagonjwa wamelala juu ya mikeka yao, wakawapeleka kila mahali waliposikia Yesu yupo.
and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick, on their mats, to where they heard he was.
56 Kila mahali Yesu alipokwenda, vijijini, mijini, au mashambani, watu waliwaweka wagonjwa uwanjani, wakamsihi waguse walau pindo la vazi lake. Nao wote waliomgusa walipona.
Wherever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they placed the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch just the fringe of his garment; and everyone who touched him were made well.
