Mark 1
1 The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
Huu ni mwanzo wa injili ya Yesu Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu.
2 As it is written in Isaiah the Prophet, "See, I am sending My messenger before Thee, Who will prepare Thy way";
Kama ilivyoandikwa na nabii Isaya, “Tazama, ninamtuma mjumbe wangu mbele yako, mmoja atakayetayarisha njia yako.
3 "The voice of one crying aloud: 'In the Desert prepare a road for the Lord: Make His highways straight.'"
Sauti ya mtu aitaye nyikani, “Ikamilisheni njia ya Bwana; zinyosheni njia zake”.
4 So John the Baptizer came, and was in the Desert proclaiming a baptism of the penitent for forgiveness of sins.
Yohana alikuja, akibatiza nyikani na kuhubiri ubatizo wa toba kwa msamaha wa dhambi.
5 There went out to him people of all classes from Judaea, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem of all ranks, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, making open confession of their sins.
Nchi yote ya Yudea na watu wote wa Yerusalemu walikwenda kwake. Walikuwa wakibatizwa naye katika mto Yordani, wakiungama dhambi zao.
6 As for John, his garment was of camel's hair, and he wore a loincloth of leather; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
Yohana alikuwa anavaa vazi la manyoya ya ngamia na mkanda wa ngozi kiunoni mwake, na alikuwa anakula nzige na asali ya porini.
7 His announcement was, "There is One coming after me mightier than I--One whose sandal-strap I am unworthy to stoop down and unfasten.
Alihubiri na kusema, “Yupo mmoja anakuja baada yangu mwenye nguvu zaidi kuliko mimi, na sina hadhi hata ya kuinama chini na kufungua kamba za viatu vyake.
8 I have baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
Mimi niliwabatiza kwa maji, lakini yeye atawabatiza ninyi kwa Roho Mtakatifu.”
9 At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan;
Ilitokea katika siku hizo kwamba Yesu alikuja kutoka Nazareti ya Galilaya, na alibatizwa na Yohana katika mto Yordani.
10 and immediately on His coming up out of the water He saw an opening in the sky, and the Spirit like a dove coming down to Him;
Wakati Yesu alipoinuka kutoka majini, aliona mbingu zimegawanyika wazi na Roho akishuka chini juu yake kama njiwa.
11 and a voice came from the sky, saying, "Thou art My Son dearly loved: in Thee is My delight."
Na sauti ilitoka mbinguni, “Wewe ni Mwanangu mpendwa. Ninapendezwa sana na wewe.”
12 At once the Spirit impelled Him to go out into the Desert,
Kisha mara moja Roho akamlazimisha kwenda nyikani.
13 where He remained for forty days, tempted by Satan; and He was among the wild beasts, but the angels waited upon Him.
Alikuwako nyikani siku arobaini, akijaribiwa na Shetani. Alikuwa pamoja na wanyama wa mwituni, na malaika walimhudumia.
14 Then, after John had been thrown into prison, Jesus came into Galilee proclaiming God's Good News.
Sasa baada ya Yohana kukamatwa, Yesu alikuja Galilaya akitangaza injili ya Mungu,
15 "The time has fully come," He said, "and the Kingdom of God is close at hand: repent, and believe this Good News.
akisema, “Muda umetimia, na ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia. Tubuni na kuamini katika injili”.
16 One day, passing along the shore of the Lake of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, Simon's brother, throwing their nets in the Lake; for they were fisherman.
Na akipita kando ya bahari ya Galilaya, alimwona Simoni na Andrea ndugu wa Simoni wakitupa nyavu zao katika bahari, kwa kuwa walikuwa wavuvi.
17 "Come and follow me," said Jesus, "and I will make you fishers for men."
Yesu aliwaambia, “Njoni, nifuateni, na nitawafanya wavuvi wa watu.”
18 At once they left their nets and followed Him.
Na mara moja waliacha nyavu na wakamfuata.
19 Going on a little further He saw James the son of Zabdi and his brother John: they also were in the boat mending the nets, and He immediately called them.
Wakati Yesu alipotembea umbali kidogo, alimwona Yakobo mwana wa Zebedayo na Yohana ndugu yake; walikuwa kwenye mtumbwi wakitengeneza nyavu.
20 They therefore left their father Zabdi in the boat with the hired men, and went and followed Him.
Mara aliwaita na wao walimwacha baba yao Zebedayo ndani ya mtumbwi na watumishi waliokodiwa, wakamfuata.
21 So they came to Capernaum, and on the next Sabbath He went to the synagogue and began to teach.
Na walipofika Kaperinaumu, siku ya Sabato, Yesu aliingia kwenye sinagogi na kufundisha.
22 The people listened with amazement to His teaching--for there was authority about it: it was very different from that of the Scribes--
Walilishangaa fundisho lake, kwa vile alikuwa akiwafundisha kama mtu ambaye ana mamlaka na siyo kama waandishi.
23 when all at once, there in their synagogue, a man under the power of a foul spirit screamed out:
Wakati huo huo kulikuwa na mtu katika sinagogi lao aliyekuwa na roho mchafu, na alipiga kelele,
24 "What have you to do with us, Jesus the Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--God's Holy One."
akisema, “Tuna nini cha kufanya na wewe, Yesu wa Nazareti? Umekuja kutuangamiza? Nakujua u nani. Wewe ni Mtakatifu pekee wa Mungu!”
25 But Jesus reprimanded him, saying, "Silence! come out of him."
Yesu alimkemea pepo na kusema, “Nyamaza na utoke ndani yake!”
26 So the foul spirit, after throwing the man into convulsions, came out of him with a loud cry.
Na roho mchafu alimwangusha chini na akatoka kwake wakati akilia kwa sauti ya juu.
27 And all were amazed and awe-struck, so they began to ask one another, "What does this mean? Here is a new sort of teaching--and a tone of authority! And even to foul spirits he issues orders and they obey him!"
Na watu wote walishangaa, hivyo wakaulizana kila mmoja, “Hii ni nini? Fundisho jipya lenye mamlaka? Hata huamuru pepo wachafu nao wanamtii!”
28 And His fame spread at once everywhere in all that part of Galilee.
Na habari kuhusu yeye mara moja zikasambaa kila mahali ndani ya mkoa wote wa Galilaya.
29 Then on leaving the synagogue they came at once, with James and John, to the house of Simon and Andrew.
Na mara moja baada ya kutoka nje ya sinagogi, waliingia nyumbani mwa Simoni na Andrea wakiwa na Yakobo na Yohana.
30 Now Simon's mother-in-law was ill in bed with a fever, and without delay they informed Him about her.
Sasa mama mkwe wa Simoni alikuwa amelala mgonjwa wa homa, na mara moja walimwambia Yesu habari zake.
31 So He went to her, and taking her hand He raised her to her feet: the fever left her, and she began to wait upon them.
Hivyo alikuja, alimshika kwa mkono, na kumwinua juu; homa ikaondoka kwake, na akaanza kuwahudumia.
32 When it was evening, after sunset people came bringing Him all who were sick and the demoniacs;
Jioni hiyo wakati jua limekwisha zama, walimletea kwake wote waliokuwa wagonjwa, au waliopagawa na pepo.
33 and the whole town was assembled at the door.
Mji wote walikusanyika pamoja katika mlango.
34 Then He cured numbers of people who were ill with various diseases, and He drove out many demons; not allowing the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
Aliwaponya wengi waliokuwa wagonjwa wa magonjwa mbalimbali na kutoa pepo wengi, bali hakuruhusu pepo kuongea kwa sababu walimjua.
35 In the morning He rose early, while it was still quite dark, and leaving the house He went away to a solitary place and there prayed.
Aliamka asubuhi na mapema, wakati ilikuwa bado giza; aliondoka na kwenda mahali pa faragha na aliomba huko.
36 And Simon and the others searched everywhere for Him.
Simoni na wote waliokuwa pamoja naye walimtafuta.
37 When they found Him they said, "Every one is looking for you."
Walimpata na wakamwambia, “Kila mmoja anakutafuta”
38 "Let us go elsewhere, to the neighbouring country towns," He replied, "that I may proclaim my Message there also; because for that purpose I came from God."
Aliwaambia, “Twendeni mahali pengine, nje katika miji inayozunguka, ili niweze kuhubiri huko pia. Ndiyo sababu nilikuja hapa.”
39 And He went through all Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and expelling the demons.
Alikwenda akipita Galilaya yote, akihubiri katika masinagogi yao na kukemea pepo.
40 One day there came a leper to Jesus entreating Him, and pleading on his knees. "If you are willing," he said, "you are able to cleanse me."
Mwenye ukoma mmoja alikuja kwake. Alikuwa akimsihi; alipiga magoti na alimwambia, “Kama unataka, waweza kunifanya niwe safi.”
41 Moved with pity Jesus reached out His hand and touched him. "I am willing," He said; "be cleansed."
Akisukumwa na huruma, Yesu alinyosha mkono wake na kumgusa, akimwambia, “Ninataka. Uwe msafi.”
42 The leprosy at once left him, and he was cleansed.
Mara moja ukoma ukamtoka, na alifanywa kuwa safi.
43 Jesus at once sent him away, strictly charging him,
Yesu akamwonya vikali na akamwambia aende mara moja,
44 and saying, "Be careful not to tell any one, but go and show yourself to the Priest, and for your purification present the offerings that Moses appointed as evidence for them."
Alimwambia, “Hakikisha hausemi neno kwa yeyote, lakini nenda, ujionyeshe kwa kuhani, na utoe dhabihu kwa ajili ya utakaso ambayo Musa aliagiza, kama ushuhuda kwao.”
45 But the man, when he went out, began to tell every one and to publish the matter abroad, so that it was no longer possible for Jesus to go openly into any town; but He had to remain outside in unfrequented places, where people came to Him from all parts.
Lakini alikwenda na kuanza kumwambia kila mmoja na kueneza neno zaidi hata Yesu hakuweza tena kuingia mjini kwa uhuru. Hivyo alikaa mahali pa faragha na watu walikuja kwake kutoka kila mahali.
