Mark 1
1 The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Mwanzo wa Injili ya Yesu Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu.
2 As it is written in the prophets, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you:
Kama ilivyoandikwa katika kitabu cha nabii Isaya: “Tazama, nitamtuma mjumbe wangu mbele yako, atakayetengeneza njia mbele yako”:
3 the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord! Make his paths straight!’”
“sauti ya mtu aliaye nyikani. ‘Itengenezeni njia ya Bwana, yanyoosheni mapito yake.’”
4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
Yohana alikuja, akibatiza huko nyikani, akihubiri ubatizo wa toba kwa ajili ya msamaha wa dhambi.
5 All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
Watu kutoka Uyahudi wote na sehemu zote za Yerusalemu walikuwa wakimwendea. Nao wakaziungama dhambi zao, akawabatiza katika Mto Yordani.
6 John was clothed with camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
Yohana alivaa mavazi yaliyotengenezwa kwa singa za ngamia na mkanda wa ngozi kiunoni mwake. Chakula chake kilikuwa nzige na asali ya mwitu.
7 He preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
Naye alihubiri akisema, “Baada yangu atakuja yeye aliye na uwezo kuniliko mimi, ambaye sistahili hata kuinama na kulegeza kamba za viatu vyake.
8 I baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.”
Mimi nawabatiza kwa maji, lakini yeye atawabatiza kwa Roho Mtakatifu.”
9 In those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
Wakati huo Yesu akaja kutoka Nazareti ya Galilaya, naye akabatizwa na Yohana katika Mto Yordani.
10 Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.
Yesu alipokuwa akitoka ndani ya maji, aliona mbingu zikifunguka na Roho akishuka juu yake kama hua.
11 A voice came out of the sky, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Nayo sauti kutoka mbinguni ikasema, “Wewe ni Mwanangu mpendwa; nami nimependezwa nawe sana.”
12 Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness.
Wakati huo huo, Roho akamwongoza Yesu kwenda nyikani,
13 He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels were serving him.
naye akawa huko nyikani kwa muda wa siku arobaini, akijaribiwa na Shetani. Alikaa na wanyama wa mwituni, nao malaika wakamhudumia.
14 Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of God’s Kingdom,
Baada ya Yohana kukamatwa na kutiwa gerezani, Yesu aliingia Galilaya akaanza kuhubiri habari njema ya Mungu,
15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News.”
akisema, “Wakati umewadia, Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia. Tubuni na kuiamini Habari Njema.”
16 Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
Yesu alipokuwa akitembea kando ya Bahari ya Galilaya, aliwaona Simoni na Andrea nduguye wakizitupa nyavu zao baharini, kwa kuwa wao walikuwa wavuvi.
17 Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men.”
Yesu akawaambia, “Njooni, nifuateni nami nitawafanya mwe wavuvi wa watu.”
18 Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.
Mara wakaacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata.
19 Going on a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.
Alipokwenda mbele kidogo, akamwona Yakobo mwana wa Zebedayo na Yohana nduguye, wakiwa kwenye mashua yao wakizitengeneza nyavu zao.
20 Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
Papo hapo akawaita, nao wakamwacha Zebedayo baba yao kwenye mashua pamoja na watumishi wa kuajiriwa, nao wakamfuata Yesu.
21 They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.
Wakaenda mpaka Kapernaumu. Ilipofika siku ya Sabato, mara Yesu akaingia sinagogi, akaanza kufundisha.
22 They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
Watu wakashangaa sana kwa mafundisho yake, kwa maana aliwafundisha kama yeye aliye na mamlaka, wala si kama walimu wa sheria.
23 Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
Wakati huo huo katika sinagogi lao palikuwa na mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo mchafu,
24 saying, “Ha! What do we have to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”
naye akapiga kelele akisema, “Tuna nini nawe, Yesu wa Nazareti? Je, umekuja kutuangamiza? Ninakujua wewe ni nani. Wewe ndiwe Aliye Mtakatifu wa Mungu!”
25 Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”
Lakini Yesu akamkemea, akamwambia, “Nyamaza kimya! Nawe umtoke!”
26 The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
Yule pepo mchafu akamtikisatikisa huyo mtu kwa nguvu, kisha akamtoka akipiga kelele kwa sauti kubwa.
27 They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”
Watu wote wakashangaa, hata wakaulizana wao kwa wao, “Haya ni mambo gani? Ni mafundisho mapya, tena yenye mamlaka! Anaamuru hata pepo wachafu, nao wanamtii!”
28 The report of him went out immediately everywhere into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.
Sifa zake zikaanza kuenea haraka katika eneo lote la karibu na Galilaya.
29 Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
Mara walipotoka katika sinagogi, walikwenda pamoja na Yakobo na Yohana hadi nyumbani kwa Simoni na Andrea.
30 Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.
Mama mkwe wa Simoni alikuwa kitandani, ana homa, nao wakamweleza Yesu habari zake.
31 He came and took her by the hand and raised her up. The fever left her immediately, and she served them.
Hivyo Yesu akamwendea, akamshika mkono na kumwinua. Kisha homa ikamwacha, naye akaanza kuwahudumia.
32 At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were possessed by demons.
Jioni ile baada ya jua kutua, watu wakamletea Yesu wagonjwa wote na waliopagawa na pepo wachafu.
33 All the city was gathered together at the door.
Mji wote ukakusanyika mbele ya nyumba hiyo.
34 He healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons. He didn’t allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.
Yesu akawaponya watu wengi waliokuwa na magonjwa ya aina mbalimbali. Akawatoa pepo wachafu wengi, lakini hakuwaacha hao pepo wachafu waseme, kwa sababu walimjua yeye ni nani.
35 Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.
Alfajiri na mapema sana kulipokuwa bado kuna giza, Yesu akaamka, akaondoka, akaenda mahali pa faragha ili kuomba.
36 Simon and those who were with him searched for him.
Simoni na wenzake wakaenda kumtafuta,
37 They found him and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
nao walipomwona, wakamwambia, “Kila mtu anakutafuta!”
38 He said to them, “Let’s go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because I came out for this reason.”
Yesu akawajibu, “Twendeni mahali pengine kwenye vijiji jirani, ili niweze kuhubiri huko pia, kwa sababu hicho ndicho nilichokuja kukifanya.”
39 He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.
Kwa hiyo akazunguka Galilaya kote, akihubiri katika masinagogi yao na kutoa pepo wachafu.
40 A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, “If you want to, you can make me clean.”
Mtu mmoja mwenye ukoma alimjia Yesu, akamwomba akipiga magoti, akamwambia, “Ukitaka, waweza kunitakasa.”
41 Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I want to. Be made clean.”
Yesu, akiwa amejawa na huruma, akanyoosha mkono wake akamgusa, akamwambia, “Nataka. Takasika!”
42 When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him and he was made clean.
Mara ukoma ukamtoka, naye akatakasika.
43 He strictly warned him and immediately sent him out,
Baada ya Yesu kumwonya vikali, akamruhusu aende zake
44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
akimwambia, “Hakikisha humwambii mtu yeyote habari hizi, bali nenda ukajionyeshe kwa kuhani, na ukatoe sadaka alizoagiza Mose kwa utakaso wako, ili kuwa ushuhuda kwao.”
45 But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places. People came to him from everywhere.
Lakini yule mtu akaenda akaanza kutangaza habari za kuponywa kwake waziwazi. Kwa hiyo, Yesu hakuweza tena kuingia katika miji waziwazi lakini alikaa sehemu zisizo na watu. Hata hivyo watu wakamfuata huko kutoka kila upande.
