Mathayo 8
1 Yesu aliposhuka kutoka mlimani, makundi mengi ya watu yalimfuata.
And when he came down from the mountain, large crowds followed him.
2 Basi, akaja mtu mmoja mwenye ukoma, akamsujudia akisema, “Bwana, ukitaka, waweza kunitakasa!”
And look, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean."
3 Yesu akanyosha mkono wake, akamgusa na kusema, “Nataka! Takasika.” Mara huyo mtu akapona ukoma wake.
And he stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I am willing. Be cleansed." 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 nobody, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."
5 Yesu alipokuwa anaingia mjini Kafarnaumu, ofisa mmoja Mroma alimwendea, akamsihi
And when he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him,
6 akisema, “Mheshimiwa, mtumishi wangu amelala nyumbani, mgonjwa wa kupooza na anaumwa sana.”
and saying, "Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented."
7 Yesu akamwambia, “Nitakuja kumponya.”
And he said to him, "I will come and heal him."
8 Huyo ofisa akamwambia, “Mheshimiwa, sistahili uingie nyumbani mwangu. Lakini sema tu neno, na mtumishi wangu atapona.
And the centurion answered, "Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
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 also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and tell another, 'Come,' and he comes; and tell 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 amazed, and said to those who followed, "Truly I tell you, I have not found so great a faith with anyone in Israel.
11 Basi, nawaambieni kwamba watu wengi watakuja kutoka mashariki na magharibi, nao wataketi karamuni pamoja na Abrahamu, Isaka na Yakobo katika Ufalme wa mbinguni.
And I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down 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 children of the kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and grinding 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 your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed in that hour.
14 Yesu alifika nyumbani kwa Petro, akamkuta mama mkwe wa Petro amelala kitandani, ana homa kali.
And when Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever.
15 Basi, Yesu akamgusa huyo mama mkono, na homa ikamwacha; akasimama, akamtumikia.
So he touched her hand, and the fever left her. She got up and served 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.
And when evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick;
17 Alifanya hivyo ili yale aliyosema nabii Isaya yatimie: “Yeye mwenyewe ameondoa udhaifu wetu, ameyachukua magonjwa yetu.”
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, "He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases."
18 Yesu alipoona kundi la watu limemzunguka, aliwaamuru wanafunzi wake waende ng'ambo ya ziwa.
Now when Jesus saw large crowds around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.
19 Mwalimu mmoja wa Sheria akamwendea, akamwambia, “Mwalimu, mimi nitakufuata kokote uendako.”
Then a scribe came, and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."
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 holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."
21 Kisha mtu mwingine miongoni mwa wanafunzi wake akamwambia, “Bwana, niruhusu kwanza niende nikamzike baba yangu.”
And another of the disciples said to him, "Lord, allow 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 leave the dead to bury their own dead."
23 Yesu alipanda mashua, na wanafunzi wake wakaenda pamoja naye.
And when he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.
24 Ghafla, dhoruba kali ikatokea ziwani, hata mawimbi yakaanza kuifunika mashua. Yesu alikuwa amelala usingizi.
And look, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves, but he was asleep.
25 Wanafunzi wakamwendea, wakamwamsha wakisema, “Bwana, tuokoe, tunaangamia!”
They came to him, and woke him up, saying, "Save us, Lord. We are dying."
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 got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.
27 Watu wakashangaa, wakasema, “Ni mtu wa namna gani huyu? Hata pepo na mawimbi vinamtii!”
And the men were amazed, saying, "What kind of person is this, that even the wind 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 came to the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody 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 look, they shouted, saying, "What do we have to do with you, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"
30 Karibu na mahali hapo kulikuwa na nguruwe wengi wakichungwa.
Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.
31 Basi, hao pepo wakamsihi, “Ikiwa utatutoa, basi uturuhusu tuwaingie nguruwe wale.”
And the demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs."
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 they came out, and went into the pigs, and look, the whole herd rushed down the cliff into the sea, and died in the water.
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 away into the city, and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons.
34 Basi, watu wote katika mji ule walitoka, wakamwendea Yesu; na walipomwona, wakamsihi aondoke katika nchi yao.
And look, all the city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.
