Rejection at Nazareth
1 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
Akatoka huko, akafika mpaka nchi ya kwao; wanafunzi wake wakamfuata.
2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
Na ilipokuwa sabato, alianza kufundisha katika sinagogi; wengi waliposikia wakashangaa, wakisema, Huyu ameyapata wapi haya? Na, Ni hekima gani hii aliyopewa huyu? Na, Ni nini miujiza hii mikubwa inayotendeka kwa mikono yake?
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
Huyu si yule seremala, mwana wa Mariamu, na ndugu yao Yakobo, na Yose, na Yuda, na Simoni? Na maumbu yake hawapo hapa petu? Wakajikwaa kwake.
4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
Yesu akawaambia, Nabii hakosi heshima, isipokuwa katika nchi yake mwenyewe, na kwa jamaa zake, na nyumbani mwake.
5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them .
Wala hakuweza kufanya mwujiza wo wote huko, isipokuwa aliweka mikono yake juu ya wagonjwa wachache, akawaponya.
6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
Akastaajabu kwa sababu ya kutokuamini kwao. Akazunguka-zunguka katika vile vijiji, akifundisha.
Sends Out Apostles
7 And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;
Akawaita wale Thenashara, akaanza kuwatuma wawili wawili, akawapa amri juu ya pepo wachafu;
8 and commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:
akawakataza wasichukue kitu cha njiani isipokuwa fimbo tu; wala mkate, wala mkoba, wala pesa za bindoni;
9 but be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
lakini wajifungie viatu; akasema, Msivae kanzu mbili.
10 And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
Akawaambia, Mahali po pote mtakapoingia katika nyumba, kaeni humo hata mtakapotoka mahali pale.
11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Na mahali po pote wasipowakaribisha ninyi wala kuwasikia, mtokapo huko, yakung'uteni mavumbi yaliyo chini ya miguu yenu, kuwa ushuhuda kwao.
12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.
Wakatoka, wakahubiri kwamba watu watubu.
13 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them .
Wakatoa pepo wengi, wakapaka mafuta watu wengi waliokuwa wagonjwa, wakawapoza.
Herod's Alarm
14 And king Herod heard of him ; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
Naye Mfalme Herode akasikia habari; kwa maana jina lake lilikuwa kutangaa, akasema, Yohana Mbatizaji amefufuka katika wafu, na kwa hiyo nguvu hizi zinatenda kazi ndani yake.
15 Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
Wengine walisema, Ni Eliya. Wengine walisema, Huyu ni nabii, au ni kama mmoja wa manabii.
16 But when Herod heard thereof , he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.
Lakini Herode aliposikia, alisema, Yohana, niliyemkata kichwa, amefufuka.
17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.
Kwa maana Herode mwenyewe alikuwa ametuma watu, akamkamata Yohana, akamfunga gerezani, kwa ajili ya Herodia, mkewe Filipo ndugu yake, kwa kuwa amemwoa;
18 For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
kwa sababu Yohana alimwambia Herode, Si halali kwako kuwa na mke wa nduguyo.
19 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:
Naye yule Herodia akawa akimvizia, akataka kumwua, asipate.
20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.
Maana Herode alimwogopa Yohana; akimjua kuwa ni mtu wa haki, mtakatifu, akamlinda; na alipokwisha kumsikiliza alifadhaika sana; naye alikuwa akimsikiliza kwa furaha.
21 And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;
Hata ilipotokea siku ya kufaa, na Herode, sikukuu ya kuzaliwa kwake, alipowafanyia karamu wakubwa wake, na majemadari, na watu wenye cheo wa Galilaya;
22 and when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
ndipo binti yake yule Herodia alipoingia, akacheza, akampendeza Herode na wale walioketi pamoja naye karamuni. Mfalme akamwambia yule kijana, Niombe lo lote utakalo, nitakupa.
23 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
Akamwapia, Lo lote utakaloniomba nitakupa, hata nusu ya ufalme wangu.
24 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
Basi akatoka, akamwuliza mamaye, Niombe nini? Naye akasema, Kichwa cha Yohana Mbatizaji.
25 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.
Mara akaingia kwa haraka mbele ya mfalme, akaomba akisema, Nataka unipe sasa hivi katika kombe kichwa cha Yohana Mbatizaji.
26 And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.
Mfalme akafanya huzuni sana, lakini kwa ajili ya viapo vyake, na kwa ajili ya hao walioketi karamuni, hakutaka kumkatalia.
27 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
Mara mfalme akatuma askari, akaamuru kuleta kichwa chake. Basi akaenda, akamkata kichwa mle gerezani,
28 and brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.
akakileta kichwa chake katika kombe, akampa yule kijana, naye yule kijana akampa mamaye.
29 And when his disciples heard of it , they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
Wanafunzi wake waliposikia habari, walikwenda, wakauchukua mwili wake, wakauzika kaburini.
In a Desert Place
30 And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
Na mitume wakakusanyika mbele ya Yesu; wakampa habari za mambo yote waliyoyafanya, na mambo yote waliyoyafundisha.
31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
Akawaambia, Njoni ninyi peke yenu kwa faragha, mahali pasipokuwa na watu, mkapumzike kidogo. Kwa sababu walikuwako watu wengi, wakija, wakienda, hata haikuwapo nafasi ya kula.
32 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.
Wakaenda zao faragha mashuani, mahali pasipokuwa na watu.
33 And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.
Watu wakawaona wakienda zao, na wengi wakatambua, wakaenda huko mbio kwa miguu, toka miji yote, wakatangulia kufika.
34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
Naye aliposhuka mashuani, akaona mkutano mkuu, akawahurumia; kwa sababu walikuwa kama kondoo wasio na mchungaji; akaanza kuwafundisha mambo mengi.
35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:
Hata zilipopita saa nyingi za mchana, wanafunzi wake walimwendea, wakasema, Mahali hapa ni nyika tupu, na sasa kunakuchwa;
36 send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.
uwaage watu hawa, ili waende zao mashambani na vijijini kandokando, wakajinunulie chakula.
37 He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
Akajibu, akawaambia, Wapeni ninyi chakula. Wakamwambia, Je! Twende tukanunue mikate ya dinari mia mbili ili tuwape kula?
38 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
Akawaambia, Mnayo mikate mingapi? Nendeni mkatazame. Walipokwisha kujua wakasema, Mitano, na samaki wawili.
39 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
Akawaagiza wawaketishe wote, vikao vikao, penye majani mabichi.
40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
Wakaketi safu safu, hapa mia hapa hamsini.
41 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.
Akaitwaa ile mikate mitano na wale samaki wawili, akatazama mbinguni, akashukuru, akaimega ile mikate, akawapa wanafunzi wake wawaandikie; na wale samaki wawili akawagawia wote.
42 And they did all eat, and were filled.
Wakala wote wakashiba.
43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
Wakaokota vipande vilivyomegwa vya kuweza kujaza vikapu kumi na viwili; na vipande vya samaki pia.
44 And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.
Na walioila ile mikate wapata elfu tano wanaume.
Across the Lake
45 And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.
Mara akawalazimisha wanafunzi wake wapande mashuani, watangulie kwenda ng'ambo hata Bethsaida, wakati yeye alipokuwa akiwaaga mkutano.
46 And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.
Hata alipokwisha kuagana nao akaenda zake mlimani kuomba.
47 And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
Na kulipokuwa jioni mashua ilikuwa katikati ya bahari, na yeye yu peke yake katika nchi kavu.
48 And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
Akawaona wakitaabika kwa kuvuta makasia, kwa maana upepo ulikuwa wa mbisho; hata ilipopata kama zamu ya nne ya usiku akawaendea, akitembea juu ya bahari; akataka kuwapita.
49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
Nao walipomwona anatembea juu ya bahari, walidhani ya kuwa ni kivuli, wakapiga yowe,
50 for they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
kwa kuwa wote walimwona, wakafadhaika. Mara akasema nao, akawaambia, Changamkeni; ni mimi, msiogope.
51 And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
Akapanda mle chomboni walimo; upepo ukakoma; wakashangaa sana mioyoni mwao;
52 For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.
kwa maana hawakufahamu habari za ile mikate, lakini mioyo yao ilikuwa mizito.
53 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
Hata walipokwisha kuvuka, walifika nchi ya Genesareti, wakatia nanga.
54 And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,
Nao wakiisha kutoka mashuani, mara watu walimtambua,
55 and ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
wakaenda mbio, wakizunguka nchi ile yote, wakaanza kuwachukua vitandani walio hawawezi, kwenda kila mahali waliposikia kwamba yupo.
56 And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
Na kila alikokwenda, akiingia vijijini, au mijini, au mashambani, wakawaweka wagonjwa sokoni, wakamsihi waguse ngaa pindo la vazi lake; nao wote waliomgusa wakapona.
