Marko 6
1 Yesu aliondoka hapo akaenda katika kijiji chake, akifuatwa na wanafunzi wake.
And He went out from thence, and came into his own country, and his disciples attended 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 many that heard Him were astonished, and said, From whence hath He these things? and what is this wisdom which is given unto Him, that even such mighty things are done 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 Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here among us? and they were prejudiced against Him.
4 Yesu akawaambia, “Nabii hakosi heshima isipokuwa katika nchi yake, kwa jamaa zake na nyumbani mwake.”
But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is nowhere less honoured, than in his own country, and among his relations, and his own family.
5 Hakuweza kutenda miujiza hapo, ila aliwawekea mikono wagonjwa wachache, akawaponya.
And He could do no miracle there, only laying his 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 amazed at their unbelief. But he went about all the villages round, teaching.
7 Aliwaita wale wanafunzi kumi na wawili, akaanza kuwatuma wawiliwawili. Aliwapa uwezo wa kuwatoa pepo wachafu,
And He calleth unto Him the twelve, and sent them forth two and two, and gave them power over impure spirits;
8 na kuwaamuru, “Msichukue chochote mnapokwenda isipokuwa fimbo tu. Msichukue mkate, wala mkoba, wala fedha kibindoni.
and ordered them to take nothing for their journey, but a staff only; no bag, nor bread, nor money in their purse:
9 Vaeni viatu lakini msivae kanzu mbili.”
but to tie on their sandals, and not to put on two coats.
10 Tena aliwaambia, “Popote mtakapokaribishwa nyumbani, kaeni humo mpaka mtakapoondoka mahali hapo.
And He said unto them, wheresoever ye enter into a house, there stay till 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 whosoever will not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in the day of judgement, than for that city.
12 Basi, wakaondoka, wakahubiri watu watubu.
And they went forth, 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 that 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.”
And king Herod heard of Him, (for his name was spread abroad, ) and he said, John the baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore miraculous powers appear in him.
15 Wengine walisema, “Mtu huyu ni Eliya.” Wengine walisema, “Huyu ni nabii kama mmojawapo wa manabii wa kale.”
Others said, it is Elias: and others said, it is a prophet, or like one of the prophets.
16 Lakini Herode alipopata habari hizi alisema, “Huyu ni Yohane! Nilimkata kichwa, lakini amefufuka.”
But when Herod heard of Him, he said, it 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 had sent and seized John, and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because 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.
Wherefore Herodias persecuted him, and would have taken away his life:
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.
but could not; for Herod revered John, knowing him to be a just and holy man, and protected him: and when he heard him he did many things according to John's instructions, and heard him willingly.
21 Ikapatikana nafasi, wakati wa sikukuu ya kuzaliwa kwake Herode. Herode aliwafanyia karamu wazee wa baraza lake, majemadari na viongozi wa Galilaya.
But a convenient day happening, when Herod on his birth-night gave a supper to his lords, and chief officers, and persons of distinction in Galilee; and the daughter of Herodias coming in,
22 Basi, binti yake Herodia aliingia, akacheza, akawafurahisha sana Herode na wageni wake. Mfalme akamwambia huyo msichana, “Niombe chochote utakacho, nami nitakupa.”
and dancing, and having pleased Herod and his guests, the king said to the young princess, 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 gave her his oath too, whatever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, even to the half of my kingdom.
24 Hapo huyo msichana akatoka, akamwuliza mama yake, “Niombe nini?” Naye akamjibu, “Kichwa cha Yohane mbatizaji.”
And she withdrew and consulted her mother, what to 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 immediately she came in again with eagerness to the king, and said, I desire that thou wouldst give me directly the head of John the baptist in a dish.
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 grieved, but on account of his oath, and those who were at table with him, he would not refuse her: but immediately sent one of his guard,
27 Basi, mfalme akamwamuru askari kukileta kichwa cha Yohane. Askari akaenda, akamkata kichwa Yohane mle gerezani,
and ordered his head to be brought:
28 akakileta katika sinia, akampa msichana naye msichana akampa mama yake.
and he went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a dish, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel carried it to her mother.
29 Wanafunzi wa Yohane walipopata habari, walikwenda wakachukua mwili wake, wakauzika kaburini.
And his disciples hearing of it, came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a sepulchre.
30 Wale mitume walirudi, wakakusanyika mbele ya Yesu wakamwarifu yote waliyotenda na kufundisha.
And the apostles came together to Jesus, and told Him all things, both what they had done, and what 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 ye yourselves apart into a retired place, and rest a little: for there were many coming and going, and they had not time even to eat.
32 Basi, Wakaondoka peke yao kwa mashua, wakaenda mahali pa faragha.
And they went away privately in a ship into a desert place.
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 people saw them departing, and many took notice of them, and ran thither on foot from all the cities, and got before them, and came together unto Him.
34 Waliposhuka pwani, Yesu aliona umati mkubwa wa watu, akawahurumia, kwa sababu walikuwa kama kondoo wasio na mchungaji. Akaanza kuwafundisha mambo mengi.
And when Jesus came out of the ship, He saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them; because they were as 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 now 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.”
dismiss them, that they may go into the country-places and villages round about, and buy themselves bread; for they have nothing 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, Do ye give them something to eat. And they say to Him, shall we go and buy two hundred penny-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.”
But He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they had examined, they said, Five, and two fishes.
39 Basi, Yesu akawaamuru wanafunzi wawaketishe watu wote makundimakundi penye nyasi.
And He ordered them to cause all the people to sit down by companies upon the grass:
40 Nao wakaketi makundimakundi ya watu mia moja na ya watu hamsini.
and they sat down in an oblong square, an hundred by 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 when He had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, He looked up to heaven, and gave thanks; then He brake the loaves and gave them to his disciples, to set before them; the two fishes likewise He divided among them all.
42 Watu wote wakala, wakashiba.
And they did all eat and were fully satisfied.
43 Wakaokota mabaki ya mikate na samaki pia, wakajaza vikapu kumi na viwili.
And they took up of the fragments of the bread, and of the fishes, twelve baskets full.
44 Nao waliokula hiyo mikate walikuwa wanaume elfu tano.
And they that had eaten were about 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 obliged his disciples to get into the ship, and to go before Him to the other side to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the people:
46 Baada ya kuwaaga watu alikwenda mlimani kusali.
and when He had sent them away, He retired into a mountain to pray.
47 Ilipokuwa jioni, mashua ilikuwa katikati ya ziwa, naye alikuwa peke yake katika nchi kavu.
And when the evening was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and He 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 saw them labouring in rowing; (for the wind was contrary: ) and about the fourth watch of the night He cometh to them walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
49 Lakini walimwona akitembea juu ya maji, wakadhani ni mzimu, wakapiga yowe.
But they seeing Him walking upon the water, thought it was an apparition, and cried out: for they all saw Him and were frighted.
50 Maana wote walipomwona waliogopa sana. Mara Yesu akasema nao, “Tulieni, ni mimi. Msiogope!”
And He immediately spake to them, and saith, Be of good courage, it is I, be not afraid.
51 Kisha akapanda mashuani walimokuwa, na upepo ukatulia. Nao wakashangaa sana.
And He went up into the ship to them, and the wind ceased, and they were exceedingly amazed in themselves, and wondered: not considering the miracle of the loaves,
52 maana hawakuwa bado wameelewa maana ya ile mikate. Akili zao zilikuwa bado zimepumbazika.
for their heart was stupified.
53 Walivuka ziwa, wakafika nchi ya Genesareti, wakatia nanga.
And they passed over and came to the country of Gennesaret, and put to shore:
54 Walipotoka mashuani, mara watu wakamtambua Yesu.
and when they came out of the ship, immediately the people knew Him, and ran through all the country,
55 Basi, kwa haraka wakazunguka katika nchi ile yote, wakaanza kuwachukua wagonjwa wamelala juu ya mikeka yao, wakawapeleka kila mahali waliposikia Yesu yupo.
and carried about in beds those that were sick, 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 came into their towns, or cities, or villages, they laid the sick in the streets, and intreated Him that they might but touch the border of his garment, and as many as touched it were healed.
