Marko 8
1 Wakati huo umati mkubwa wa watu ulikusanyika tena, na hawakuwa na chakula. Basi, Yesu akawaita wanafunzi wake, akawaambia,
In those days, there being again a very great multitude, and they having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to Him,
2 “Nawahurumia watu hawa kwa sababu wamekuwa nami kwa muda wa siku tatu, wala hawana chakula.
and saith unto them, I have compassion on the multitude, for they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
3 Nikiwaacha waende nyumbani wakiwa na njaa watazimia njiani, maana baadhi yao wametoka mbali.”
and if I send them away fasting to their own home, they will faint by the way; for some of them are come from far.
4 Wanafunzi wake wakamwuliza, “Hapa nyikani itapatikana wapi mikate ya kuwashibisha watu hawa wote?”
And his disciples answered Him, From whence can one satisfy these people with bread here in a desert?
5 Yesu akawauliza, “Mnayo mikate mingapi?” Nao wakamjibu, “Saba.”
And He asked them, How many loaves have ye? and they said, Seven.
6 Basi, akawaamuru watu wakae chini. Akaitwaa ile mikate saba, akamshukuru Mungu, akaimega, akawapa wanafunzi wake wawagawie watu, nao wakawagawia.
And He ordered the people to sit down upon the ground: and taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks and brake them, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the multitude.
7 Walikuwa pia na visamaki vichache. Yesu akavibariki, akaamuru vigawiwe watu vilevile.
And they had a few small fishes: and He blessed them, and bid them set them also before the people.
8 Watu wakala, wakashiba. Wakaokota mabaki yaliyosalia wakajaza makapu saba.
And they did eat and were satisfied: and they took up what were left, to wit of fragments seven baskets:
9 Nao waliokula walikuwa watu wapatao elfu nne. Yesu akawaaga,
and they that had eaten were about four thousand. And then He dismissed them.
10 na mara akapanda mashua pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akaenda wilaya ya Dalmanutha.
And going directly on board a ship with his disciples, He came into the parts of Dalmanutha:
11 Mafarisayo walikuja, wakaanza kujadiliana na Yesu. Kwa kumjaribu, wakamtaka awafanyie ishara kuonyesha anayo idhini kutoka mbinguni.
and the pharirisees came forth, and began to dispute with Him, desiring of Him a sign from heaven, tempting Him.
12 Yesu akahuzunika rohoni, akasema, “Mbona kizazi hiki kinataka ishara? Kweli nawaambieni, kizazi hiki hakitapewa ishara yoyote!”
And He sighing deeply in his spirit, saith, Why doth this generation require a sign? Verily I tell you, There shall no sign be given to this generation.
13 Basi, akawaacha, akapanda tena mashua, akaanza safari kwenda ng'ambo ya pili ya ziwa.
So He left them, and went on board the ship again, and departed to the other side.
14 Wanafunzi walikuwa wamesahau kuchukua mikate; walikuwa na mkate mmoja tu katika mashua.
And his disciples had forgot to take bread, neither had they any more than one loaf with them in the ship.
15 Yesu akawaonya, “Angalieni sana! Jihadharini na chachu ya Mafarisayo na chachu ya Herode.”
And therefore as He was giving them a charge, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,
16 Wanafunzi wakaanza kujadiliana wao kwa wao, “Anasema hivyo kwa kuwa hatuna mikate.”
they argued one with another, saying, It is because we have no bread.
17 Yesu alitambua hayo, akawaambia, “Mbona mnajadiliana juu ya kutokuwa na mikate? Je, bado hamjafahamu, wala hamjaelewa? Je, mioyo yenu imeshupaa?
And Jesus knowing it saith unto them, What are ye reasoning about? because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet discern nor understand? have ye your heart still hardened?
18 Je, Mnayo macho na hamwoni? Mnayo masikio na hamsikii? Je, hamkumbuki
Have ye eyes, and do not see? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
19 wakati ule nilipoimega ile mikate mitano na kuwapa watu elfu tano? Mlikusanya vikapu vingapi vya mabaki ya makombo?” Wakamjibu, “Kumi na viwili.”
When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did ye take up? They answer, Twelve.
20 “Na nilipoimega ile mikate saba na kuwapa watu elfu nne, mlikusanya makapu mangapi ya makombo?” Wakamjibu, “Saba.”
And when I divided the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? and they said, Seven.
21 Basi, akawaambia, “Na bado hamjaelewa?”
And He said unto them, How is it then that ye do not understand?
22 Yesu alifika Bethsaida pamoja na wanafunzi wake. Huko watu wakamletea kipofu mmoja, wakamwomba amguse.
Then He cometh to Bethsaida, where they brought to Him a blind man, and begged of Him that He would touch him.
23 Yesu akamshika mkono huyo kipofu, akampeleka nje ya kijiji. Akamtemea mate machoni, akamwekea mikono, akamwuliza, “Je, unaweza kuona kitu?”
And He took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and having spit on his eyes, He laid his hands upon him, and asked him, If he saw any thing.
24 Huyo kipofu akatazama, akasema, “Ninawaona watu wanaoonekana kama miti inayotembea.”
And he looked up, and said, I see men (as it were trees) walking.
25 Kisha Yesu akamwekea tena mikono machoni, naye akakaza macho, uwezo wake wa kuona ukamrudia, akaona kila kitu sawasawa.
Then He put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored to sight, and saw them all plainly.
26 Yesu akamwambia aende zake nyumbani na kumwamuru, “Usirudi kijijini!”
And He sent him away to his house, and said, Neither go into the town, nor tell any one in the town.
27 Kisha Yesu na wanafunzi wake walikwenda katika vijiji vya Kaisarea Filipi. Walipokuwa njiani, Yesu aliwauliza wanafunzi wake, “Watu wanasema mimi ni nani?”
Then Jesus and his disciples went out into the towns of Cesarea Philippi: and by the way He asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I am?
28 Wakamjibu, “Wengine wanasema wewe ni Yohane Mbatizaji, wengine Eliya na wengine mmojawapo wa manabii.”
And they answered, Some say, John the baptist; and others, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
29 Naye akawauliza, “Na ninyi je, mnasema mimi ni nani?” Petro akamjibu, “Wewe ndiwe Kristo.”
And He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answered and saith, Thou art the Christ.
30 Kisha Yesu akawaonya wasimwambie mtu yeyote habari zake.
And He charged them, that they should say this to no one concerning Him:
31 Yesu alianza kuwafundisha wanafunzi wake: “Ni lazima Mwana wa Mtu apatwe na mateso mengi na kukataliwa na wazee na makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria. Atauawa na baada ya siku tatu atafufuka.”
and began to tell them, that the Son of man must suffer much; and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes; and be put to death: and after three days rise again.
32 Yesu aliwaambia jambo hilo waziwazi. Basi, Petro akamchukua kando, akaanza kumkemea.
And this He spake plainly and openly. Upon which Peter began to rebuke Him.
33 Lakini Yesu akageuka, akawatazama wanafunzi wake, akamkemea Petro akisema, “Ondoka mbele yangu, Shetani! Fikira zako si za kimungu ila ni za kibinadamu!”
But He turned about and looking on his disciples reproved Peter, saying, Get thee behind me Satan; for thou savourest not the things of God, but the things that be of men.
34 Kisha akauita umati wa watu pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akawaambia, “Mtu yeyote akitaka kuwa mfuasi wangu, lazima ajikane mwenyewe, auchukue msalaba wake, anifuate.
And calling the people and his disciples to Him, He said unto them, Whosoever is willing to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me:
35 Maana mtu anayetaka kuyaokoa maisha yake mwenyewe, atayapoteza, lakini mtu atakayepoteza maisha yake kwa ajili yangu na kwa ajili ya Habari Njema, atayaokoa.
for he that would save his life, shall lose it; but he that would lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, shall save it.
36 Je, kuna faida gani mtu kuupata ulimwengu wote na kuyapoteza maisha yake?
For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Ama mtu atatoa kitu gani badala ya maisha yake?
or what shall a man give as a ransom for his soul?
38 Mtu yeyote katika kizazi hiki kiovu na kisichomjali Mungu anayenionea aibu mimi na mafundisho yangu, Mwana wa Mtu atamwonea aibu mtu huyo wakati atakapokuja katika utukufu wa Baba yake pamoja na malaika watakatifu.”
for whosoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this degenerate and sinful age, of him will the Son of man be also ashamed, when He cometh in the glory of his Father, with the holy angels.
