1At the time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus.
1Wakati huo, mtawala Herode alisikia sifa za Yesu.
2And he said to his servants: This is John the Baptist: he is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him.
2Basi, akawaambia watumishi wake, “Mtu huyu ni Yohane mbatizaji, amefufuka kutoka wafu; ndiyo maana nguvu za miujiza zinafanya kazi ndani yake.”
3For Herod had apprehended John and bound him, and put him into prison, because of Herodias, his brother’s wife.
3Herode ndiye aliyekuwa amemtia Yohane nguvuni, akamfunga minyororo na kumtia gerezani kwa sababu ya Herodia, mke wa Filipo, ndugu yake. Sababu hasa ni
4For John said to him: It is not lawful for thee to have her.
4kwamba alikuwa amemwambia Herode, “Si halali kwako kuishi na huyo mwanamke!”
5And having a mind to put him to death, he feared the people: because they esteemed him as a prophet.
5Herode alitaka kumwua Yohane, lakini aliogopa watu kwa sababu kwao Yohane alikuwa nabii.
6But on Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced before them: and pleased Herod.
6Katika sherehe za sikukuu ya kuzaliwa kwake Herode, binti ya Herodia alicheza mbele ya wageni. Herode alifurahiwa,
7Whereupon he promised with an oath, to give her whatsoever she would ask of him.
7hata akaahidi kwa kiapo kumpa huyo msichana chochote atakachoomba.
8But she being instructed before by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptist.
8Naye, huku akichochewa na mama yake, akaomba, “Nipe papahapa katika sinia kichwa cha Yohane mbatizaji.”
9And the king was struck sad: yet because of his oath, and for them that sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given.
9Mfalme alihuzunika, lakini kwa sababu ya kile kiapo chake na kwa sababu ya wale wageni karamuni, akaamuru apewe.
10And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
10Basi, Herode akatuma mtu gerezani amkate kichwa Yohane.
11And his head was brought in a dish: and it was given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother.
11Kichwa chake kikaletwa katika sinia, wakampa yule msichana, naye akampelekea mama yake.
12And his disciples came and took the body, and buried it, and came and told Jesus.
12Wanafunzi wa Yohane wakaja, wakauchukua mwili wake, wakauzika. Kisha wakaenda kumpasha habari Yesu.
13Which when Jesus had heard, he retired from thence by boat, into a desert place apart, and the multitudes having heard of it, followed him on foot out of the cities.
13Yesu alipopata habari hiyo, aliondoka mahali pale kwa mashua, akaenda mahali pa faragha peke yake. Lakini watu walipata habari, wakamfuata kwa miguu toka mijini.
14And he coming forth saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
14Basi, aliposhuka pwani, aliona umati mkubwa wa watu, akawaonea huruma, akawaponya wagonjwa wao.
15And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past: send away the multitudes, that going into the towns, they may buy themselves victuals.
15Kulipokuwa jioni, wanafunzi wake walimwendea wakamwambia, “Mahali hapa ni nyikani, na saa zimepita. Basi, uwaage watu ili waende vijijini wakajinunulie chakula.”
16But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give you them to eat.
16Yesu akawaambia, “Si lazima waende, wapeni ninyi chakula.”
17They answered him: We have not here, but five loaves, and two fishes.
17Lakini wao wakamwambia, “Tunayo mikate mitano tu na samaki wawili.”
18He said to them: Bring them hither to me.
18Yesu akawaambia, “Nileteeni hapa.”
19And when he had commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
19Akawaamuru watu waketi katika nyasi. Kisha akaitwaa ile mikate mitano na wale samaki wawili, akatazama juu mbinguni, akamshukuru Mungu. Halafu akaimega hiyo mikate, akawapa wanafunzi wake, nao wakawapa watu.
20And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up what remained, twelve full baskets of fragments.
20Watu wote wakala, wakashiba. Kisha wanafunzi wakakusanya mabaki, wakajaza vikapu kumi na viwili.
21And the number of them that did eat, was five thousand men, besides women and children.
21Jumla ya waliokula ilikuwa wanaume wapatao elfu tano, bila kuhesabu wanawake na watoto.
22And forthwith Jesus obliged his disciples to go up into the boat, and to go before him over the water, till he dismissed the people.
22Mara, Yesu akawaamuru wanafunzi wake wapande mashua, wamtangulie ng'ambo ya ziwa wakati yeye anawaaga watu.
23And having dismissed the multitude, he went into a mountain alone to pray. And when it was evening, he was there alone.
23Baada ya kuwaaga, alipanda mlimani peke yake kusali. Ilipokuwa jioni, yeye alikuwa huko peke yake,
24But the boat in the midst of the sea was tossed with the waves: for the wind was contrary.
24na wakati huo ile mashua ilikwishafika karibu katikati ya ziwa, lakini ilikuwa inakwenda mrama kwa sababu upepo ulikuwa unaipinga.
25And in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking upon the sea.
25Usiku, karibu na mapambazuko, Yesu aliwaendea wanafunzi akitembea juu ya maji.
26And they seeing him walk upon the sea, were troubled, saying: It is an apparition. And they cried out for fear.
26Wanafunzi wake walipomwona akitembea juu ya maji waliingiwa na hofu, wakasema, “Ni mzimu!” Wakapiga kelele kwa hofu.
27And immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying: Be of good heart: it is I, fear ye not.
27Mara, Yesu akasema nao, “Tulieni, ni mimi. Msiogope!”
28And Peter making answer, said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters.
28Petro akamwambia, “Bwana, ikiwa ni wewe kweli, amuru nitembee juu ya maji nije kwako.”
29And he said: Come. And Peter going down out of the boat, walked upon the water to come to Jesus.
29Yesu akasema, “Haya, njoo.” Basi, Petro akashuka kutoka ile mashua, akatembea juu ya maji, akamwendea Yesu.
30But seeing the wind strong, he was afraid: and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying: Lord, save me.
30Lakini alipouona ule upepo, aliogopa, akaanza kuzama; akalia kwa sauti, “Bwana, niokoe!”
31And immediately Jesus stretching forth his hand took hold of him, and said to him: O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?
31Hapo, Yesu akaunyosha mkono wake, akamshika na kumwambia, “Ewe mwenye imani haba! Kwa nini uliona shaka?”
32And when they were come up into the boat, the wind ceased.
32Basi, wakapanda mashuani, na upepo ukatulia.
33And they that were in the boat came and adored him, saying: Indeed thou art the Son of God.
33Wote waliokuwa ndani ya mashua walimsujudia, wakasema, “Hakika wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu.”
34And having passed the water, they came into the country of Genesar.
34Walivuka ziwa, wakafika nchi ya Genesareti.
35And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent into all that country, and brought to him all that were diseased.
35Watu wa huko walipomtambua, wakaeneza habari pote katika sehemu hizo. Basi, wakamletea Yesu wagonjwa wote,
36And they besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment. And as many as touched, were made whole.
36wakamwomba awaruhusu waguse tu pindo la vazi lake; wote waliomgusa walipona.
