1 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him , and saith unto them,
Katika siku zile, kwa vile ulivyokuwa mkuu tena ule mkutano, nao wamekosa kitu cha kula, akawaita wanafunzi wake, akawaambia,
2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
Nawahurumia mkutano kwa sababu yapata siku tatu wamekaa nami, wala hawana kitu cha kula;
3 and if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
nami nikiwaaga waende zao nyumbani kwao hali wanafunga, watazimia njiani; na baadhi yao wametoka mbali.
4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
Wanafunzi wake wakamjibu, Je! Ataweza wapi mtu kuwashibisha hawa mikate hapa nyikani?
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
Akawauliza, Mnayo mikate mingapi? Wakasema, Saba,
6 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.
Akawaagiza mkutano waketi chini; akaitwaa ile mikate saba, akashukuru, akaimega, akawapa wanafunzi wake wawaandikie; wakawaandikia mkutano.
7 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them .
Walikuwa na visamaki vichache; akavibarikia, akasema wawaandikie na hivyo pia.
8 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.
Wakala, wakashiba, wakakusanya mabaki ya vipande vya mikate makanda saba.
9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
Na watu waliokula wapata elfu nne. Akawaaga.
Dalmanutha
10 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
Mara akapanda chomboni pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akaenda pande za Dalmanutha.
11 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
Wakatokea Mafarisayo, wakaanza kuhojiana naye; wakitafuta kwake ishara itokayo mbinguni; wakimjaribu.
12 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.
Akaugua rohoni mwake, akasema, Mbona kizazi hiki chatafuta ishara? Amin, nawaambieni, Hakitapewa ishara kizazi hiki.
13 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
Akawaacha, akapanda tena chomboni, akaenda zake hata ng'ambo.
14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
Wakasahau kuchukua mikate, wala chomboni hawana ila mkate mmoja tu.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
Akawaagiza, akasema, Angalieni, jihadharini na chachu ya Mafarisayo na chachu ya Herode.
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
Wakabishana wao kwa wao, kwa kuwa hawana mikate.
17 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?
Naye Yesu akatambua, akawaambia, Mbona mnabishana kwa sababu hamna mikate? Hamfahamu bado, wala hamjaelewa? Je! Mioyo yenu ni mizito?
18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
Mna macho, hamwoni; mna masikio, hamsikii? Wala hamkumbuki?
19 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
Nilipoivunja ile mikate mitano na kuwapa wale elfu tano, mlichukua vikapu vingapi vimejaa vipande? Wakamwambia, Kumi na viwili.
20 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
Na ile saba kuwapa wale elfu nne, mlichukua makanda mangapi yamejaa vipande? Wakamwambia, Saba.
21 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
Akawaambia, Hamjafahamu bado?
Bethsaida
22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
Wakafika Bethsaida, wakamletea kipofu, wakamsihi amguse.
23 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.
Akamshika mkono yule kipofu, akamchukua nje ya kijiji, akamtemea mate ya macho, akamwekea mikono yake, akamwuliza, Waona kitu?
24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
Akatazama juu, akasema, Naona watu kama miti, inakwenda.
25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
Ndipo akaweka tena mikono yake juu ya macho yake, naye akatazama sana; akawa mzima, akaona vyote waziwazi.
26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
Akampeleka nyumbani kwake, akisema, Hata kijijini usiingie.
Cæsarea Philippi
27 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?
Akatoka Yesu na wanafunzi wake, wakaenda kwenye vijiji vya Kaisaria-Filipi; na njiani akawauliza wanafunzi wake, akasema, Watu huninena mimi kuwa ni nani?
28 And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say , Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
Wakamjibu, Yohana Mbatizaji; wengine, Eliya; wengine, Mmojawapo wa manabii.
29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
Naye akawauliza, Na ninyi mnasema ya kuwa mimi ni nani? Petro akamjibu, akamwambia, Wewe ndiwe Kristo.
30 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
Akawaonya wasimwambie mtu habari zake.
31 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.
Akaanza kuwafundisha kwamba imempasa Mwana wa Adamu kupatikana na mateso mengi, na kukataliwa na wazee, na wakuu wa makuhani, na waandishi, na kuuawa, na baada ya siku tatu kufufuka.
32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
Naye alikuwa akinena neno hilo waziwazi. Petro akamchukua, akaanza kumkemea.
33 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 .
Akageuka, akawatazama wanafunzi wake, akamkemea Petro, akasema, Nenda nyuma yangu, Shetani; maana huyawazi yaliyo ya Mungu, bali ya wanadamu.
34 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.
Akawaita mkutano pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akawaambia, Mtu ye yote akitaka kunifuata na ajikane mwenyewe, ajitwike na msalaba wake, anifuate.
35 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.
Kwa kuwa mtu atakaye kuiponya nafsi yake, ataiangamiza, na mtu atakayeiangamiza nafsi yake kwa ajili yangu na kwa ajili ya Injili, huyu ataisalimisha.
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Kwa kuwa itamfaidia mtu nini kuupata ulimwengu wote, akipata hasara ya nafsi yake?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Ama mtu atoe nini badala ya nafsi yake?
38 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.
Maana kila mtu atakayenionea haya mimi, na maneno yangu, katika kizazi hiki cha uzinzi na dhambi, Mwana wa Adamu atamwonea haya mtu huyo, atakapokuja katika utukufu wa Baba yake pamoja na malaika watakatifu.
