Marko 8
1 Wakati huo umati mkubwa wa watu ulikusanyika tena, na hawakuwa na chakula. Basi, Yesu akawaita wanafunzi wake, akawaambia,
IN those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,
2 “Nawahurumia watu hawa kwa sababu wamekuwa nami kwa muda wa siku tatu, wala hawana chakula.
I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
3 Nikiwaacha waende nyumbani wakiwa na njaa watazimia njiani, maana baadhi yao wametoka mbali.”
And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
4 Wanafunzi wake wakamwuliza, “Hapa nyikani itapatikana wapi mikate ya kuwashibisha watu hawa wote?”
And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
5 Yesu akawauliza, “Mnayo mikate mingapi?” Nao wakamjibu, “Saba.”
And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
6 Basi, akawaamuru watu wakae chini. Akaitwaa ile mikate saba, akamshukuru Mungu, akaimega, akawapa wanafunzi wake wawagawie watu, nao wakawagawia.
And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.
7 Walikuwa pia na visamaki vichache. Yesu akavibariki, akaamuru vigawiwe watu vilevile.
And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.
8 Watu wakala, wakashiba. Wakaokota mabaki yaliyosalia wakajaza makapu saba.
So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.
9 Nao waliokula walikuwa watu wapatao elfu nne. Yesu akawaaga,
And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
10 na mara akapanda mashua pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akaenda wilaya ya Dalmanutha.
And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 Mafarisayo walikuja, wakaanza kujadiliana na Yesu. Kwa kumjaribu, wakamtaka awafanyie ishara kuonyesha anayo idhini kutoka mbinguni.
And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
12 Yesu akahuzunika rohoni, akasema, “Mbona kizazi hiki kinataka ishara? Kweli nawaambieni, kizazi hiki hakitapewa ishara yoyote!”
And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
13 Basi, akawaacha, akapanda tena mashua, akaanza safari kwenda ng'ambo ya pili ya ziwa.
And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
14 Wanafunzi walikuwa wamesahau kuchukua mikate; walikuwa na mkate mmoja tu katika mashua.
Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
15 Yesu akawaonya, “Angalieni sana! Jihadharini na chachu ya Mafarisayo na chachu ya Herode.”
And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
16 Wanafunzi wakaanza kujadiliana wao kwa wao, “Anasema hivyo kwa kuwa hatuna mikate.”
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
17 Yesu alitambua hayo, akawaambia, “Mbona mnajadiliana juu ya kutokuwa na mikate? Je, bado hamjafahamu, wala hamjaelewa? Je, mioyo yenu imeshupaa?
And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
18 Je, Mnayo macho na hamwoni? Mnayo masikio na hamsikii? Je, hamkumbuki
Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
19 wakati ule nilipoimega ile mikate mitano na kuwapa watu elfu tano? Mlikusanya vikapu vingapi vya mabaki ya makombo?” Wakamjibu, “Kumi na viwili.”
When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
20 “Na nilipoimega ile mikate saba na kuwapa watu elfu nne, mlikusanya makapu mangapi ya makombo?” Wakamjibu, “Saba.”
And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
21 Basi, akawaambia, “Na bado hamjaelewa?”
And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
22 Yesu alifika Bethsaida pamoja na wanafunzi wake. Huko watu wakamletea kipofu mmoja, wakamwomba amguse.
And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
23 Yesu akamshika mkono huyo kipofu, akampeleka nje ya kijiji. Akamtemea mate machoni, akamwekea mikono, akamwuliza, “Je, unaweza kuona kitu?”
And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
24 Huyo kipofu akatazama, akasema, “Ninawaona watu wanaoonekana kama miti inayotembea.”
And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
25 Kisha Yesu akamwekea tena mikono machoni, naye akakaza macho, uwezo wake wa kuona ukamrudia, akaona kila kitu sawasawa.
After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
26 Yesu akamwambia aende zake nyumbani na kumwamuru, “Usirudi kijijini!”
And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
27 Kisha Yesu na wanafunzi wake walikwenda katika vijiji vya Kaisarea Filipi. Walipokuwa njiani, Yesu aliwauliza wanafunzi wake, “Watu wanasema mimi ni nani?”
And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Cæsarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?
28 Wakamjibu, “Wengine wanasema wewe ni Yohane Mbatizaji, wengine Eliya na wengine mmojawapo wa manabii.”
And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
29 Naye akawauliza, “Na ninyi je, mnasema mimi ni nani?” Petro akamjibu, “Wewe ndiwe Kristo.”
And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
30 Kisha Yesu akawaonya wasimwambie mtu yeyote habari zake.
And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
31 Yesu alianza kuwafundisha wanafunzi wake: “Ni lazima Mwana wa Mtu apatwe na mateso mengi na kukataliwa na wazee na makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria. Atauawa na baada ya siku tatu atafufuka.”
And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 Yesu aliwaambia jambo hilo waziwazi. Basi, Petro akamchukua kando, akaanza kumkemea.
And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 Lakini Yesu akageuka, akawatazama wanafunzi wake, akamkemea Petro akisema, “Ondoka mbele yangu, Shetani! Fikira zako si za kimungu ila ni za kibinadamu!”
But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
34 Kisha akauita umati wa watu pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akawaambia, “Mtu yeyote akitaka kuwa mfuasi wangu, lazima ajikane mwenyewe, auchukue msalaba wake, anifuate.
And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 Maana mtu anayetaka kuyaokoa maisha yake mwenyewe, atayapoteza, lakini mtu atakayepoteza maisha yake kwa ajili yangu na kwa ajili ya Habari Njema, atayaokoa.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.
36 Je, kuna faida gani mtu kuupata ulimwengu wote na kuyapoteza maisha yake?
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Ama mtu atatoa kitu gani badala ya maisha yake?
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Mtu yeyote katika kizazi hiki kiovu na kisichomjali Mungu anayenionea aibu mimi na mafundisho yangu, Mwana wa Mtu atamwonea aibu mtu huyo wakati atakapokuja katika utukufu wa Baba yake pamoja na malaika watakatifu.”
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
