Mathayo 8
1 Yesu aliposhuka kutoka mlimani, makundi mengi ya watu yalimfuata.
And when he had come down from the mountain, many multitudes followed him.
2 Basi, akaja mtu mmoja mwenye ukoma, akamsujudia akisema, “Bwana, ukitaka, waweza kunitakasa!”
And behold, a leper came and did him homage, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
3 Yesu akanyosha mkono wake, akamgusa na kusema, “Nataka! Takasika.” Mara huyo mtu akapona ukoma wake.
And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying: I will; be clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 Kisha Yesu akamwambia, “Sikiliza, usimwambie mtu yeyote, ila nenda ukajionyeshe kwa kuhani, na ukatoe sadaka iliyoamriwa na Mose kuwathibitishia kwamba umepona.”
And Jesus said to him: See that you tell no one. But go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
5 Yesu alipokuwa anaingia mjini Kafarnaumu, ofisa mmoja Mroma alimwendea, akamsihi
And when he entered Capernaum, there came to him a centurion, beseeching him,
6 akisema, “Mheshimiwa, mtumishi wangu amelala nyumbani, mgonjwa wa kupooza na anaumwa sana.”
and saying: Lord, my servant lies in my house, palsied, fearfully afflicted.
7 Yesu akamwambia, “Nitakuja kumponya.”
And Jesus said to him: I will go and cure him.
8 Huyo ofisa akamwambia, “Mheshimiwa, sistahili uingie nyumbani mwangu. Lakini sema tu neno, na mtumishi wangu atapona.
And the centurion answering, said: Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof; but say in a word only, and my servant shall be restored to health.
9 Maana, hata mimi niliye mtu chini ya mamlaka ya wengine, ninao askari chini yangu. Namwambia mmoja, Nenda! naye huenda; na mwingine, Njoo! naye huja; na mtumishi wangu, Fanya kitu hiki! naye hufanya.”
For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.
10 Yesu aliposikia hayo, alistaajabu, akawaambia watu waliokuwa wanamfuata, “Kweli nawaambieni, sijapata kumwona mtu yeyote katika Israeli aliye na imani kama hii.
And when Jesus heard it, he was filled with admiration, and said to those who followed him: Verily I say to you, not even in Israel have I found so great faith.
11 Basi, nawaambieni kwamba watu wengi watakuja kutoka mashariki na magharibi, nao wataketi karamuni pamoja na Abrahamu, Isaka na Yakobo katika Ufalme wa mbinguni.
I also say to you, That many shall come from the east and the west, and shall recline with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;
12 Lakini wale ambao wangalipaswa kuwa katika Ufalme huo watatupwa nje, gizani, ambako watalia na kusaga meno.”
but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast into the darkness that is without. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13 Kisha Yesu akamwambia huyo ofisa Mroma, “Nenda nyumbani; na iwe kama ulivyoamini.” Na mtumishi wake akapona saa ileile.
And Jesus said to the centurion: Go, and as you have believed, so be it to you. And his servant was restored to health in that hour.
14 Yesu alifika nyumbani kwa Petro, akamkuta mama mkwe wa Petro amelala kitandani, ana homa kali.
And when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law lying, and ill of a fever.
15 Basi, Yesu akamgusa huyo mama mkono, na homa ikamwacha; akasimama, akamtumikia.
And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose and ministered to him.
16 Ilipokuwa jioni, walimletea watu wengi waliokuwa wamepagawa na pepo; naye, kwa kusema neno tu, akawafukuza hao pepo. Aliwaponya pia watu wote waliokuwa wagonjwa.
When the evening had come, they brought to him many that were possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and cured all that were sick;
17 Alifanya hivyo ili yale aliyosema nabii Isaya yatimie: “Yeye mwenyewe ameondoa udhaifu wetu, ameyachukua magonjwa yetu.”
that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: He himself took our infirmities, and bore our diseases.
18 Yesu alipoona kundi la watu limemzunguka, aliwaamuru wanafunzi wake waende ng'ambo ya ziwa.
But when Jesus saw many multitudes about him, he gave orders to depart to the other side.
19 Mwalimu mmoja wa Sheria akamwendea, akamwambia, “Mwalimu, mimi nitakufuata kokote uendako.”
And a certain scribe came and said to him: Teacher, I will follow thee wherever thou goest.
20 Yesu akamjibu, “Mbweha wana mapango, na ndege wana viota; lakini Mwana wa Mtu hana mahali pa kupumzikia.”
And Jesus said to him: The foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have roosts; but the Son of man has not where to lay his head.
21 Kisha mtu mwingine miongoni mwa wanafunzi wake akamwambia, “Bwana, niruhusu kwanza niende nikamzike baba yangu.”
And another of his disciples said to him: Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.
22 Lakini Yesu akamwambia, “Nifuate! Waache wafu wazike wafu wao.”
But Jesus said to him: Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.
23 Yesu alipanda mashua, na wanafunzi wake wakaenda pamoja naye.
And when he had entered the ship, his disciples followed him.
24 Ghafla, dhoruba kali ikatokea ziwani, hata mawimbi yakaanza kuifunika mashua. Yesu alikuwa amelala usingizi.
And behold, there was a great tempest in the sea, so that the ship was covered by the waves: but he was asleep.
25 Wanafunzi wakamwendea, wakamwamsha wakisema, “Bwana, tuokoe, tunaangamia!”
And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying: Lord, save us; we perish.
26 Yesu akawaambia, “Enyi watu wenye imani haba; mbona mnaogopa?” Basi, akainuka, akazikemea pepo na mawimbi; kukawa shwari kabisa.
And he said to them: Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea: and there was a great calm.
27 Watu wakashangaa, wakasema, “Ni mtu wa namna gani huyu? Hata pepo na mawimbi vinamtii!”
But the men were astonished, and said: What man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
28 Yesu alifika katika nchi ya Wagerasi, ng'ambo ya ziwa, na huko watu wawili waliopagawa na pepo wakakutana naye wakitokea makaburini. Watu hawa walikuwa wenye kutisha mno, hata hakuna mtu aliyethubutu kupita katika njia hiyo.
And when he had come to the opposite side, into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two men, coming out of the tombs, possessed with demons, very fierce, so that no one could pass that way.
29 Nao wakaanza kupiga kelele, “Una shauri gani nasi, wewe Mwana wa Mungu? Je, umekuja kututesa kabla ya wakati wake?”
And behold, they cried out, saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus, Son of God? Hast thou come hither to torment us before the time?
30 Karibu na mahali hapo kulikuwa na nguruwe wengi wakichungwa.
Now there was, at a distance from them, a herd of many swine, feeding.
31 Basi, hao pepo wakamsihi, “Ikiwa utatutoa, basi uturuhusu tuwaingie nguruwe wale.”
And the demons besought him, saying: If thou cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine.
32 Yesu akawaambia, “Haya, nendeni.” Hapo wakawatoka watu hao, wakawaingia nguruwe. Kundi lote la nguruwe likaporomoka kwenye ule mteremko mkali, likatumbukia ziwani; nguruwe wote wakafa maji.
And he said to them: Go. And when they had come out, they went away into the herd of swine. And behold, the whole herd of swine rushed down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
33 Wachungaji wa hao nguruwe walikimbia, wakaenda mjini. Huko walitoa habari zote na mambo yaliyowapata wale watu waliokuwa wamepagawa.
And those who fed them fled, and went into the city, and told every thing, and what had happened to those who had been possessed with the demons.
34 Basi, watu wote katika mji ule walitoka, wakamwendea Yesu; na walipomwona, wakamsihi aondoke katika nchi yao.
And, behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they besought him to depart out of their borders.
