Mathayo 8
1 Yesu aliposhuka kutoka mlimani, makundi mengi ya watu yalimfuata.
Now as he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him.
2 Basi, akaja mtu mmoja mwenye ukoma, akamsujudia akisema, “Bwana, ukitaka, waweza kunitakasa!”
And behold a leper came and worshipped Him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst cleanse me:
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 thou 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 saith unto him, See thou tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
5 Yesu alipokuwa anaingia mjini Kafarnaumu, ofisa mmoja Mroma alimwendea, akamsihi
And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto Him a centurion beseeching Him, and saying, Lord,
6 akisema, “Mheshimiwa, mtumishi wangu amelala nyumbani, mgonjwa wa kupooza na anaumwa sana.”
my servant lieth in my house ill of the palsy, grievously afflicted:
7 Yesu akamwambia, “Nitakuja kumponya.”
and Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
8 Huyo ofisa akamwambia, “Mheshimiwa, sistahili uingie nyumbani mwangu. Lakini sema tu neno, na mtumishi wangu atapona.
But the centurion answering said, Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst come under my roof, but speak 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 also am a man under the authority of others, yet have soldiers under me; and I say to one, go, and he goeth; and to another, come, and he cometh; and to my servant, do this, and he doth 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 marvelled, and said to them that followed Him, Verily, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith even 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.
but I tell you, that many shall come from the east and from the west, and shall 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.”
and the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness; where there will 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 be it unto thee as thou hast believed. And his servant was healed in that very hour.
14 Yesu alifika nyumbani kwa Petro, akamkuta mama mkwe wa Petro amelala kitandani, ana homa kali.
And when Jesus came to Peter's house. He saw his wife's mother lying ill of a fever:
15 Basi, Yesu akamgusa huyo mama mkono, na homa ikamwacha; akasimama, akamtumikia.
and He did but touch her hand, and the fever left her; and she rose up and waited on them.
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 it was evening they brought to him many demoniacs: and he cast out the evil spirits with a word, and healed all that were ill: that it might be fulfilled,
17 Alifanya hivyo ili yale aliyosema nabii Isaya yatimie: “Yeye mwenyewe ameondoa udhaifu wetu, ameyachukua magonjwa yetu.”
which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, He took our infirmities himself, and bore our diseases.
18 Yesu alipoona kundi la watu limemzunguka, aliwaamuru wanafunzi wake waende ng'ambo ya ziwa.
But when Jesus saw great multitudes about Him, he gave orders for departing to the other side of the lake.
19 Mwalimu mmoja wa Sheria akamwendea, akamwambia, “Mwalimu, mimi nitakufuata kokote uendako.”
And a certain scribe came to Him, and said, Master, I will follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest:
20 Yesu akamjibu, “Mbweha wana mapango, na ndege wana viota; lakini Mwana wa Mtu hana mahali pa kupumzikia.”
and Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the fowls of heaven their nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
21 Kisha mtu mwingine miongoni mwa wanafunzi wake akamwambia, “Bwana, niruhusu kwanza niende nikamzike baba yangu.”
But another of his disciples, whom he ordered to follow Him, said unto Him, Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father:
22 Lakini Yesu akamwambia, “Nifuate! Waache wafu wazike wafu wao.”
but Jesus said unto him; Do thou follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.
23 Yesu alipanda mashua, na wanafunzi wake wakaenda pamoja naye.
And when He was entered into the ship, his disciples followed Him:
24 Ghafla, dhoruba kali ikatokea ziwani, hata mawimbi yakaanza kuifunika mashua. Yesu alikuwa amelala usingizi.
and behold a great tempest rose on the sea, so that the vessel was even 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, for we are perishing: and He saith unto them,
26 Yesu akawaambia, “Enyi watu wenye imani haba; mbona mnaogopa?” Basi, akainuka, akazikemea pepo na mawimbi; kukawa shwari kabisa.
Why are ye so frighted, O ye of little faith? Then He rose up 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!”
And the men wondered, saying, What an amazing person 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 was come to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, there met Him two demoniacs coming out from the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no one could pass by that way:
29 Nao wakaanza kupiga kelele, “Una shauri gani nasi, wewe Mwana wa Mungu? Je, umekuja kututesa kabla ya wakati wake?”
and they cried out, saying, What have we to do with Thee, Jesus thou Son of God? Art Thou come hither to torment us before the time?
30 Karibu na mahali hapo kulikuwa na nguruwe wengi wakichungwa.
Now there was at some distance from them a large herd of swine seeding: and the devils besought Him,
31 Basi, hao pepo wakamsihi, “Ikiwa utatutoa, basi uturuhusu tuwaingie nguruwe wale.”
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 unto them, Go: and they came out and went away into the herd of swine; and lo, all the herd of swine ran furiously down a precipice into the sea,
33 Wachungaji wa hao nguruwe walikimbia, wakaenda mjini. Huko walitoa habari zote na mambo yaliyowapata wale watu waliokuwa wamepagawa.
and perished in the waters. And they that were feeding them fled, and went away into the city, and related all these things, as also concerning the demoniacs.
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 intreated Him to depart from their coasts.
