Mark 11
1 When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
Walipokuwa wanakaribia Yerusalemu walifika Bethfage na Bethania, karibu na mlima wa Mizeituni. Hapo aliwatuma wawili wa wanafunzi wake,
2 and said to them, "Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has yet sat. Untie him, and bring him.
akawaambia, “Nendeni katika kijiji kilicho mbele yenu. Mtakapokuwa mnaingia humo, mtakuta mwana punda amefungwa ambaye bado hajatumiwa na mtu. Mfungueni mkamlete.
3 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'Because the Lord needs it,' and he will send it back here at once."
Kama mtu akiwauliza, Mbona mnafanya hivyo? Mwambieni, Bwana anamhitaji na atamrudisha hapa mara.”
4 They went away, and found a colt tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.
Basi, wakaenda, wakamkuta mwana punda barabarani amefungwa mlangoni. Walipokuwa wakimfungua,
5 Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you doing, untying the young donkey?"
baadhi ya watu waliokuwa wamesimama hapo wakawauliza “Kwa nini mnamfungua huyo mwana punda?”
6 They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.
Wanafunzi wakajibu kama Yesu alivyokuwa amewaambia; nao wakawaacha waende zao.
7 They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.
Wakampelekea Yesu huyo mwana punda. Wakatandika mavazi yao juu ya huyo mwana punda, na Yesu akaketi juu yake.
8 Many spread their garments on the way, and others spread branches which they had cut from the fields.
Watu wengi wakatandaza mavazi yao barabarani; wengine wakatandaza matawi ya miti waliyoyakata mashambani.
9 Those who went in front, and those who followed, shouted, "Hosanna. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Watu wote waliotangulia na wale waliofuata wakapaaza sauti zao wakisema, “Hosana! Abarikiwe huyo ajaye kwa jina la Bwana!
10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest."
Ubarikiwe Ufalme ujao wa baba yetu Daudi. Hosana juu mbinguni!”
11 And he entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
Yesu aliingia mjini Yerusalemu akaenda moja kwa moja mpaka Hekaluni, akatazama kila kitu kwa makini. Lakini kwa vile ilikwisha kuwa jioni, akaenda Bethania pamoja na wale kumi na wawili.
12 The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.
Kesho yake, walipokuwa wanatoka Bethania, Yesu aliona njaa.
13 Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
Basi, akaona kwa mbali mtini wenye majani mengi. Akauendea ili aone kama ulikuwa na tunda lolote. Alipoufikia, aliukuta bila tunda lolote ila majani matupu, kwa vile hayakuwa majira ya mtini kuzaa matunda.
14 Jesus told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." and his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
Hapo akauambia mtini, “Tangu leo hata milele mtu yeyote asile matunda kwako.” Nao wanafunzi wake walisikia maneno hayo. (aiōn g165)
15 They came to Jerusalem, and he entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.
Basi, wakafika Yerusalemu. Yesu akaingia Hekaluni, akaanza kuwafukuza nje watu waliokuwa wanauza na kununua vitu humo ndani. Akazipindua meza za wale waliokuwa wakibadilishana fedha na viti vya wale waliokuwa wakiuza njiwa.
16 He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.
Hakumruhusu mtu yeyote kupitia Hekaluni akichukua kitu.
17 He taught, saying to them, "Is it not written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations?' But you have made it a den of robbers."
Kisha akawafundisha, “Imeandikwa: Nyumba yangu itaitwa nyumba ya sala kwa ajili ya mataifa yote! Lakini ninyi mmeifanya kuwa pango la wanyang'anyi!”
18 The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching.
Makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria waliposikia hayo, walianza kutafuta njia ya kumwangamiza. Lakini walimwogopa kwa sababu umati wa watu ulishangazwa na mafundisho yake.
19 When evening came, they went out of the city.
Ilipokuwa jioni, Yesu na wanafunzi wake waliondoka mjini.
20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
Asubuhi na mapema, walipokuwa wanapita, waliuona ule mtini umenyauka wote, hata mizizi.
21 Peter, remembering, said to him, "Teacher, look. The fig tree which you cursed has withered away."
Petro aliukumbuka, akamwambia Yesu, “Mwalimu, tazama! Ule mtini ulioulaani, umenyauka!”
22 Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.
Yesu akawaambia, “Mwaminini Mungu.
23 Truly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
Nawaambieni kweli, mtu akiuambia mlima huu: Ng'oka ukajitose baharini bila kuona shaka moyoni mwake, ila akaamini kwamba mambo yote anayosema yanafanyika, atafanyiwa jambo hilo.
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Kwa hiyo nawaambieni, mnaposali na kuomba kitu, aminini kwamba mmekipokea, nanyi mtapewa.
25 Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your wrongdoing.
Mnaposimama kusali, sameheni kila mtu aliyewakosea chochote, ili Baba yenu aliye mbinguni awasamehe ninyi makosa yenu.
26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your wrongdoing."
Lakini msipowasamehe wengine, hata Baba yenu aliye mbinguni hatawasamehe ninyi makosa yenu.”
27 They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,
Basi, wakafika tena Yerusalemu. Yesu alipokuwa akitembea Hekaluni, makuhani wakuu, walimu wa Sheria na wazee walimwendea,
28 and they began saying to him, "By what authority do you do these things? And who gave you this authority to do these things?"
wakamwuliza, “Unafanya mambo haya kwa mamlaka gani? Nani aliyekupa mamlaka ya kufanya mambo haya?”
29 Jesus said to them, "I will also ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Nitawaulizeni swali moja; mkinijibu, na pia nitawaambieni ni kwa mamlaka gani ninafanya mambo haya.
30 The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from people? Answer me."
Je, mamlaka ya Yohane ya kubatiza yalitoka mbinguni ama kwa watu? Nijibuni.”
31 They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we should say, 'From heaven;' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
Wakaanza kujadiliana, “Tukisema, Yalitoka mbinguni, atatuuliza, Basi, mbona hamkumsadiki?
32 If we should say, 'From people'"—they feared the crowd, for all held John to really be a prophet.
Na tukisema, Yalitoka kwa watu...” (Waliogopa umati wa watu maana wote waliamini kwamba Yohane alikuwa kweli nabii.)
33 They answered and said to Jesus, "We do not know." Jesus said to them, "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things."
Basi, wakamjibu Yesu, “Sisi hatujui.” Naye Yesu akawaambia, “Nami pia sitawaambieni ninafanya mambo haya kwa mamlaka gani.”
