Marko 6
1 Yesu aliondoka hapo akaenda katika kijiji chake, akifuatwa na wanafunzi wake.
And he went out from thence, and cometh 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 when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue. And most people when they heard him were astonished, saying, Whence hath this man these things? And what is the wisdom which is given him? And how is it that 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, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judah, and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they took offence at 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 own kindred, and in his own house.
5 Hakuweza kutenda miujiza hapo, ila aliwawekea mikono wagonjwa wachache, akawaponya.
And he could not do any miracle there, except that he laid his hand upon a few sick persons, and cured them.
6 Alishangaa sana kwa sababu ya kutoamini kwao. Kisha Yesu alivitembelea vijiji vya pale karibu akiwafundisha watu.
And he wondered at their want of faith. And he went about the surrounding villages teaching.
7 Aliwaita wale wanafunzi kumi na wawili, akaanza kuwatuma wawiliwawili. Aliwapa uwezo wa kuwatoa pepo wachafu,
And he calleth to him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over the unclean spirits;
8 na kuwaamuru, “Msichukue chochote mnapokwenda isipokuwa fimbo tu. Msichukue mkate, wala mkoba, wala fedha kibindoni.
and commanded them that they should take nothing for the way but a staff only; no bread, no bag, no money in their girdle;
9 Vaeni viatu lakini msivae kanzu mbili.”
but to be shod with sandals; and, Do not put on two coats.
10 Tena aliwaambia, “Popote mtakapokaribishwa nyumbani, kaeni humo mpaka mtakapoondoka mahali hapo.
And he said to them, Wherever ye enter a house, there abide fill ye leave that place.
11 Mahali popote ambapo watu watakataa kuwakaribisheni au kuwasikiliza, ondokeni hapo na kuyakung'uta mavumbi miguuni mwenu kama onyo kwao.”
And whatever place shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye go thence, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony to them.
12 Basi, wakaondoka, wakahubiri watu watubu.
And they went out and preached that men should repent;
13 Waliwafukuza pepo wengi wabaya; wakawapaka mafuta wagonjwa wengi, wakawaponya.
and they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many sick persons, 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 of him (for his name was spread abroad), and he said, John the Baptizer hath risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him. But others said, It is Elijah.
15 Wengine walisema, “Mtu huyu ni Eliya.” Wengine walisema, “Huyu ni nabii kama mmojawapo wa manabii wa kale.”
And others said, It is a prophet, as one of the prophets.
16 Lakini Herode alipopata habari hizi alisema, “Huyu ni Yohane! Nilimkata kichwa, lakini amefufuka.”
But Herod hearing of it said, John, whom I beheaded, hath risen again.
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 forth and seized John, and bound him in prison, on account 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 had said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
19 Basi Herodia alimchukia sana Yohane, akataka kumwua, asiweze.
And Herodias was enraged against him, and wished to put him to death, but 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 was regardful of him; and on hearing him, was in much anxiety, and listened to 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 a convenient day having come, when Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles and chief captains and the principal 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 came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those at table with him; and the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
23 Tena akamwapia, “Chochote utakachoniomba, nitakupa: hata ikiwa ni nusu ya ufalme wangu.”
And he swore to her, Whatever thou shalt ask of me, I will give thee, to the half of my kingdom.
24 Hapo huyo msichana akatoka, akamwuliza mama yake, “Niombe nini?” Naye akamjibu, “Kichwa cha Yohane mbatizaji.”
And she went out and said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptizer.
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, saying, I desire that thou wilt give me immediately on a platter the head of John the Baptist.
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 on account of his oaths, and of those at table with him, he would not refuse her.
27 Basi, mfalme akamwamuru askari kukileta kichwa cha Yohane. Askari akaenda, akamkata kichwa Yohane mle gerezani,
And the king immediately sent one of his guards, and ordered his head to be brought. 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 damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother.
29 Wanafunzi wa Yohane walipopata habari, walikwenda wakachukua mwili wake, wakauzika kaburini.
And his disciples, when they heard of it, came and took up his body, and laid it in a tomb.
30 Wale mitume walirudi, wakakusanyika mbele ya Yesu wakamwarifu yote waliyotenda na kufundisha.
And the apostles gather together to Jesus, and told him all which they had done and 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 saith to them, Come ye by yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going; and they had no leisure, even to eat.
32 Basi, Wakaondoka peke yao kwa mashua, wakaenda mahali pa faragha.
And they went away into a desert place in the boat apart.
33 Lakini watu wengi waliwaona wakienda, wakawatambua. Hivyo wengi wakatoka katika kila mji, wakakimbilia huko Yesu na wanafunzi wake walikokuwa wanakwenda, wakawatangulia kufika.
And many saw them departing, and knew them, and ran together on foot thither from all the cities, and 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 when he came forth, he saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion for them, because they were as sheep not having 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 late in the day his disciples came to him, and said, This is a desert place, and it is now late;
36 Afadhali uwaage watu waende mashambani na katika vijiji vya jirani, wanunue chakula.”
send them away, that they may go into the surrounding fields 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 answering said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denaries' worth of bread, and give them to eat?
38 Yesu akawauliza, “Mnayo mikate mingapi? Nendeni mkatazame.” Walipokwisha tazama, wakamwambia, “Kuna mikate mitano na samaki wawili.”
He saith to them, How many loaves have ye? Go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
39 Basi, Yesu akawaamuru wanafunzi wawaketishe watu wote makundimakundi penye nyasi.
And he ordered them to make all lie down in companies upon the green grass.
40 Nao wakaketi makundimakundi ya watu mia moja na ya watu hamsini.
And they lay 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.
And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples to set before them; and the two fishes he divided among them 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 twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
44 Nao waliokula hiyo mikate walikuwa wanaume elfu tano.
And they who ate of 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 he immediately constrained his disciples to get into the boat, and to go before to the other side to Bethsaida, while he sent the multitude away.
46 Baada ya kuwaaga watu alikwenda mlimani kusali.
And when he had taken leave of 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 when evening came, 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.
And when he saw them toiling hard in rowing, for the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he cometh to them, walking upon the lake. And he would have passed by them;
49 Lakini walimwona akitembea juu ya maji, wakadhani ni mzimu, wakapiga yowe.
but they, seeing him walking upon the lake, thought it was a spectre, and cried out.
50 Maana wote walipomwona waliogopa sana. Mara Yesu akasema nao, “Tulieni, ni mimi. Msiogope!”
For they all saw him, and were terrified. But he immediately spoke with them, and saith to them, Be of good cheer; it is I, be not afraid.
51 Kisha akapanda mashuani walimokuwa, na upepo ukatulia. Nao wakashangaa sana.
And he went up to them into the boat, and the wind ceased. And they were exceedingly astonished, beyond measure.
52 maana hawakuwa bado wameelewa maana ya ile mikate. Akili zao zilikuwa bado zimepumbazika.
For they did not consider the matter of the loaves; but their heart was hardened.
53 Walivuka ziwa, wakafika nchi ya Genesareti, wakatia nanga.
And crossing over, they came to land, to Gennesaret; and anchored there.
54 Walipotoka mashuani, mara watu wakamtambua Yesu.
And when they had come out of the boat, the people immediately knowing who he was,
55 Basi, kwa haraka wakazunguka katika nchi ile yote, wakaanza kuwachukua wagonjwa wamelala juu ya mikeka yao, wakawapeleka kila mahali waliposikia Yesu yupo.
ran through all that region, and began to carry about on beds those that were sick to the place 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.
And wherever he entered into villages or cities or the open country, they laid the sick in the market-places, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched him were made well.
