Mark 10
1 And, from thence, arising, he cometh into the bounds of Judaea and beyond the Jordan, —and there come together again, multitudes unto him, and, as he had been wont, again, was he teaching them.
Yesu aliondoka eneo hilo na akaenda katika mkoa wa Uyahudi na eneo la mbele ya Mto Yorodani, na makutano walimfuata tena. Aliwafundisha tena, kama ilivyokuwa kawaida yake kufanya.
2 And Pharisees coming near were questioning him—whether it is allowed a husband to divorce a wife, testing him.
Na Mafarisayo walikuja kumjaribu na wakamuuliza, “Ni halali kwa mwanamume kuachana na mke wake?”
3 But, he, answering, said unto them—What unto you did, Moses, command?
Yesu akawajibu, “Musa aliwaamuru nini?”
4 And, they, said—Moses permitted, to write, a roll of dismissal, and to divorce.
Wakasema, “Musa aliruhusu kuandika cheti cha kuachana na kisha kumfukuza mwanamke.”
5 But, Jesus, said unto them—In view of your hardness of heart, wrote he for you this commandment;
“Ni kwa sababu ya mioyo yenu migumu ndiyo maana aliwaandikia sheria hii,” Yesu aliwaambia.
6 But, from the beginning of creation, male and female, made he [them];
“Lakini kutoka mwanzo wa uumbaji, 'Mungu aliwaumba mwanamume na mwanamke.'
7 For this cause, shall a man leave behind his father and mother,
Kwa sababu hii mwanamume atamwacha baba yake na mama yake na ataungana na mke wake,
8 and, the two, shall become, one flesh; so that, no longer, are they two, but, one flesh.
na hao wawili watakuwa mwili mmoja; Kwa kuwa si wawili tena, bali mwili mmoja.
9 What then, God, hath yoked together, let, a man, not put asunder.
Kwa hiyo alichokiunganisha Mungu, mwanadamu asikitenganishe.”
10 And, [coming] into the house again, the disciples, concerning this, were questioning him;
Walipokuwa ndani ya nyumba, wanafunzi wake wakamwuliza tena kuhusu hili.
11 and he saith unto them—Whosoever shall divorce his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her;
Akawaambia, “Yeyote amwachaye mke wake na kumwoa mwanamke mwingine, anafanya uzinzi dhidi yake.
12 And, if, she, divorcing her husband, marry another, she committeth adultery.
Mwanamke naye akimwacha mme wake na kuolewa na mwanamme mwingine, anafanya uzinzi.”
13 And they were bringing unto him children, that he might, touch, them, —the disciples, however, were rebuking them.
Nao walimletea watoto wao wadogo ili awaguse, lakini wanafunzi wakawakemea.
14 But Jesus, seeing it, was greatly displeased, and said unto them—Suffer the children to come unto me, —do not hinder them; for, of such, is the kingdom of God.
Lakini Yesu alipotambua hilo, hakufurahishwa nalo kabisa akawaambia, “Waruhusuni watoto wadogo waje kwangu, na msiwazuie, kwa sababu walio kama hawa ufalme wa Mungu ni wao.
15 Verily, I say unto you—Whosoever shall not welcome the kingdom of God, as a child, in nowise shall enter thereinto.
Ukweli nawaambia, yeyote asiyeupokea ufalme wa Mungu kama mtoto mdogo hakika hawezi kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu.
16 And, folding them in his arms, he was blessing them, having laid his hands upon them.
Kisha akawachukua watoto mikononi mwake na akawabariki akiwawekea mikono yake juu yao.
17 And, as he was going forth into a road, one, running, and kneeling before him, was questioning him—Good Teacher! what shall I do that, life age—abiding, I may inherit? (aiōnios g166)
Na alipoanza safari yake mtu mmoja alimkimbilia na akapiga magoti mbele yake, akamwuliza, “Mwalimu Mwema, nifanye nini ili niweze kurithi uzima ya milele?” (aiōnios g166)
18 And, Jesus, said unto him—Why callest thou me, good? None, is good, save one—God.
Na Yesu akasema, “Kwa nini unaniita mwema? Hakuna aliye mwema, isipokuwa Mungu peke yake.
19 The commandments, thou knowest, —Do not commit murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal; Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.
Unazijua amri: 'Usiue, usizini, usiibe, usishuhudie uongo, usidanganye, mheshimu baba na mama yako'.”
20 And, he, said unto him—Teacher! all these things, have I kept, from my youth.
Mtu yule akasema, “Mwalimu, haya yote nimeyatii tangu nikiwa kijana.”
21 And, Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said unto him—One thing, unto thee, is wanting; —Withdraw! whatsoever thou hast, sell, and give unto [the] destitute, —and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come! be following me.
Yesu alimwangalia na kumpenda. Akawambia, “Unapungukiwa kitu kimoja. Unapaswa kuuza vyote ulivyo navyo na uwape masikini, na utakuwa na hazina mbinguni. Ndipo uje unifuate.”
22 And, he, becoming gloomy because of the word, departed sorrowing, for he was holding, many possessions.
Lakini alikata tamaa kwa sababu ya maelezo haya; aliondoka akiwa mwenye huzuni, kwa kuwa alikuwa na mali nyingi.
23 And, looking around, Jesus saith unto his disciples—With what difficulty, shall, they who have money, enter, into the kingdom of God!
Yesu akatazama pande zote na kuwaambia wanafunzi wake, “Ni jinsi gani ilivyo vigumu kwa tajiri kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu!
24 And, the disciples, were in amazement, because of the words. But, Jesus, again answering, saith unto them—Children! how difficult, it is, to enter, into the kingdom of God!
Wanafunzi walishangazwa kwa maneno haya. Lakini Yesu akawaambia tena, “Watoto, ni jinsi gani ilivyo vigumu kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu!
25 It is, easier, for a camel, through the eye of a needle, to pass, than for, a rich man, into the kingdom of God, to enter.
Ni rahisi kwa ngamia kupita kwenye tundu la sindano, kuliko mtu tajiri kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu.”
26 And, they, were being exceedingly struck with astonishment, saying unto him—Who, then, can, be saved?
Walishangazwa sana na wakasemezana, “Hivyo nani ataokoka”
27 Looking at them, Jesus saith—With men, impossible, but not, with God; for, all things, are possible, with God
Yesu akawaangalia na kusema, “Kwa binadamu haiwezekani, lakini sio kwa Mungu. Kwa kuwa katika Mungu yote yanawezekana.”
28 Peter began to be saying unto him—Lo! we, have left all, and followed thee!
“Petro akaanza kuzungumza naye, “Angalia tumeacha vyote na tumekufuata.”
29 Jesus said—Verily, I say unto you—There is, no one, who hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for the sake of me, and [for the sake of] the glad-message,
Yesu akasema, “Ukweli nawaambia ninyi, hakuna aliyeacha nyumba, au kaka, au dada, au mama, au baba, au watoto, au ardhi, kwa ajili yangu, na kwa ajili ya Injili,
31 But, many, shall be—first-last, and [the] Last-first.
Lakini wengi walio wa kwanza watakuwa wa mwisho na walio wa mwisho watakuwa wa kwanza.”
32 Now they were in the way, going up unto Jerusalem, and Jesus was going on before them, —and they were in amazement; and, they who followed, were in fear. And, taking unto himself, again, the twelve, he began to be saying unto them, as to the things about to befall him—
Walipokuwa njiani, kwenda Yerusalemu, Yesu alikuwa amewatangulia mbele yao. Wanafunzi walishangaa, na wale waliokuwa wanafuata nyuma waliogopa. Ndipo Yesu akawatoa pembeni tena wale kumi na wawili na akaanza kuwaambia ambacho kitamtokea hivi karibuni:
33 Lo! we are going up unto Jerusalem; and, the Son of Man, will be delivered up, unto the Chief-priests and the Scribes, —and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him up unto the nations;
“Tazama, tunakwenda mpaka Yerusalemu, na Mwana wa Adamu atafikishwa kwa makuhani wakuu na waandishi. Watamhukumu afe na watamtoa kwa watu wa Mataifa.
34 And they will mock him, and spit upon him, and scourge him, and, slay; —and, after three days, will he, arise.
Watamdhihaki, watamtemea mate, watampiga fimbo, na watamwua. Lakini baada ya siku tatu atafufuka.”
35 And there come near unto him, James and John, the [two] sons of Zebedee, —saying unto him—Teacher! we desire, that, whatsoever we shall ask thee, thou wilt do for us.
Yakobo na Yohana, wana wa Zebedayo, walikuja kwake na kusema, “Mwalimu, tunakuhitaji utufanyie chochote tukuombacho.”
36 But, he, said unto them—What desire ye, I should do for you?
Aliwaambia, “Mnataka niwatendee nini?”
37 And, they, said unto him—Grant us, that, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left, we may sit, in thy glory.
Wakasema, “Turuhusu tukae nawe katika utukufu wako, mmoja katika mkono wako wa kuume na mwingine mkono wako wa kushoto.”
38 But, Jesus, said unto them—Ye know not what ye are asking: Are ye able to drink the cup that, I, am to drink? or to be immersed, with the immersion wherewith, I, am to be immersed?
Lakini Yesu aliwajibu, “Hamjui mnachoomba. Mnaweza kukinywea kikombe ambacho nitakiywea au kustahimili ubatizo ambao nitabatizwa?”
39 And, they, said unto him—We are able. And, Jesus, said unto them—The cup which, I, am to drink, ye shall drink, and, with the immersion wherewith, I, am to be immersed, shall ye be immersed;
Wakamwambia, “Tunaweza” Yesu akawaambia, “Kikombe nitakachokinywea, mtakinywea. Na ubatizo ambao kwao nimebatizwa, mtaustahimili.
40 But, to sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine to give, except unto them for whom it hath been prepared.
Lakini atakayekaa mkono wangu wa kuume au mkono wangu wa kushoto sio mimi wa kutoa, lakini ni kwa wale ambao kwao imekwisha andaliwa.”
41 And the ten, hearing, began to be sorely displeased, concerning James and John.
Wale wanafunzi wengine kumi waliposikia haya, wakaanza kuwakasirikia Yakobo na Yohana.
42 And Jesus, calling them near, saith unto them—Ye know that, they who think to rule the nations, lord it over them, and, their great ones, wield authority over them;
Yesu akawaita kwake na kusema, “Mnajua kuwa wale wanaodhaniwa kuwa watawala wa watu wa Mataifa huwatawala, na watu wao mashuhuri huwaonyesha mamlaka juu yao.”
43 But, not so, it is, among you. But, whosoever desireth to become, great, among you, shall be, your minister,
Lakini haipaswi kuwa hivi kati yenu. Yeyote atakaye kuwa mkubwa kati yenu lazima awatumikie,
44 And, whosoever desireth, among you, to be, first, shall be, servant of all;
na yeyote atakaye kuwa wa kwanza kati yenu ni lazima awe mtumwa wa wote.
45 For, even the Son of Man, came not to be ministered unto, but minister, —and to give his life, a ransom instead of many.
Kwa kuwa Mwana wa Adamu hakuja kutumikiwa bali kutumika, na kuyatoa maisha yake kuwa fidia kwa wengi.”
46 And they come into Jericho. And, as he was journeying forth from Jericho, and his disciples, and a considerable multitude, the son of Timaeus, blind Bar-Timaeus, a beggar, was sitting beside the road.
Wakaja Yeriko. Alipokuwa akiondoka Yeriko na wanafunzi wake na kundi kubwa, mwana wa Timayo, Batimayo, kipofu mwombaji, alikaa kando ya barabara.
47 And, hearing that it was, Jesus the Nazarene, he began to be crying aloud, and saying—O Son of David! Jesus! have mercy on me.
Aliposikia kuwa ni Yesu Mnazareti, alianza kupiga kelele na kusema, “Yesu, Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!”
48 And many were rebuking him, that he might hold his peace; but, he, so much the more, was crying aloud, O Son of David, have mercy on me.
Wengi walimkemea yule kipofu, wakimwambia anyamaze. Lakini alilia kwa sauti zaidi, “Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!”
49 And, coming to a stand, Jesus said—Call him! And they call the blind man, saying unto him—Take courage! rise! he calleth thee!
Yesu alisimama na kuamuru aitwe. Walimwita yule kipofu, wakisema, “Kuwa shujaa! Inuka! Yesu anakuita.”
50 And, he, throwing off his mantle—springing to his feet, came unto Jesus.
Akalitupa pembeni koti lake, akakimbia zaidi, na kuja kwa Yesu.
51 And, answering him, Jesus said—What desirest thou, I should do for thee? And, the blind man, said unto him—Rabboni! that may recover sight.
Yesu akamjibu na kusema, “Unataka nikufanyie nini?” Yule mwanaume kipofu akamjibu, “Mwalimu, ninataka kuona.”
52 And, Jesus, said unto him—Go thy way! thy faith, hath saved thee. And, straightway, he recovered sight, and was following him in the road.
Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda. Imani yako imekuponya.” Hapo hapo macho yake yakaona; na akamfuata Yesu barabarani.
