Marko 8
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1Wakati huo umati mkubwa wa watu ulikusanyika tena, na hawakuwa na chakula. Basi, Yesu akawaita wanafunzi wake, akawaambia,
1In those days the crowd once again became very large, and they had nothing to eat. Jesus called the disciples to Him and said,
2“Nawahurumia watu hawa kwa sababu wamekuwa nami kwa muda wa siku tatu, wala hawana chakula.
2“I have compassion for this crowd, because they have already been with Me three days and have nothing to eat.
3Nikiwaacha waende nyumbani wakiwa na njaa watazimia njiani, maana baadhi yao wametoka mbali.”
3If I send them home hungry, they will faint along the way. For some of them have come a great distance.”
4Wanafunzi wake wakamwuliza, “Hapa nyikani itapatikana wapi mikate ya kuwashibisha watu hawa wote?”
4His disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could anyone find enough bread to feed all these people?”
5Yesu akawauliza, “Mnayo mikate mingapi?” Nao wakamjibu, “Saba.”
5“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied.
6Basi, akawaamuru watu wakae chini. Akaitwaa ile mikate saba, akamshukuru Mungu, akaimega, akawapa wanafunzi wake wawagawie watu, nao wakawagawia.
6And He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then He took the seven loaves, gave thanks and broke them, and gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And they distributed them to the crowd.
7Walikuwa pia na visamaki vichache. Yesu akavibariki, akaamuru vigawiwe watu vilevile.
7They also had a few small fish, and Jesus blessed them and ordered that these be set before them as well.
8Watu wakala, wakashiba. Wakaokota mabaki yaliyosalia wakajaza makapu saba.
8The people ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
9Nao waliokula walikuwa watu wapatao elfu nne. Yesu akawaaga,
9And about four thousand men were present. As soon as Jesus had dismissed the crowd,
10na mara akapanda mashua pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akaenda wilaya ya Dalmanutha.
10He got into the boat with His disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.
11Mafarisayo walikuja, wakaanza kujadiliana na Yesu. Kwa kumjaribu, wakamtaka awafanyie ishara kuonyesha anayo idhini kutoka mbinguni.
11Then the Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus, testing Him by demanding from Him a sign from heaven.
12Yesu akahuzunika rohoni, akasema, “Mbona kizazi hiki kinataka ishara? Kweli nawaambieni, kizazi hiki hakitapewa ishara yoyote!”
12Jesus sighed deeply in His spirit and said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
13Basi, akawaacha, akapanda tena mashua, akaanza safari kwenda ng'ambo ya pili ya ziwa.
13And He left them, got back into the boat, and crossed to the other side.
14Wanafunzi walikuwa wamesahau kuchukua mikate; walikuwa na mkate mmoja tu katika mashua.
14Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.
15Yesu akawaonya, “Angalieni sana! Jihadharini na chachu ya Mafarisayo na chachu ya Herode.”
15“Watch out!” He cautioned them. “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of Herod.”
16Wanafunzi wakaanza kujadiliana wao kwa wao, “Anasema hivyo kwa kuwa hatuna mikate.”
16So they began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread.
17Yesu alitambua hayo, akawaambia, “Mbona mnajadiliana juu ya kutokuwa na mikate? Je, bado hamjafahamu, wala hamjaelewa? Je, mioyo yenu imeshupaa?
17Aware of their conversation, Jesus asked them, “Why are you debating about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Do you have such hard hearts?
18Je, Mnayo macho na hamwoni? Mnayo masikio na hamsikii? Je, hamkumbuki
18‘Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear?’ And do you not remember?
19wakati ule nilipoimega ile mikate mitano na kuwapa watu elfu tano? Mlikusanya vikapu vingapi vya mabaki ya makombo?” Wakamjibu, “Kumi na viwili.”
19When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you collect?” “Twelve,” they answered.
20“Na nilipoimega ile mikate saba na kuwapa watu elfu nne, mlikusanya makapu mangapi ya makombo?” Wakamjibu, “Saba.”
20“And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you collect?” “Seven,” they said.
21Basi, akawaambia, “Na bado hamjaelewa?”
21Then He asked them, “Do you still not understand?”
22Yesu alifika Bethsaida pamoja na wanafunzi wake. Huko watu wakamletea kipofu mmoja, wakamwomba amguse.
22When they arrived at Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.
23Yesu akamshika mkono huyo kipofu, akampeleka nje ya kijiji. Akamtemea mate machoni, akamwekea mikono, akamwuliza, “Je, unaweza kuona kitu?”
23So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then He spit on the man’s eyes and placed His hands on him. “Can you see anything?” He asked.
24Huyo kipofu akatazama, akasema, “Ninawaona watu wanaoonekana kama miti inayotembea.”
24The man looked up and said, “I can see the people, but they look like trees walking around.”
25Kisha Yesu akamwekea tena mikono machoni, naye akakaza macho, uwezo wake wa kuona ukamrudia, akaona kila kitu sawasawa.
25Once again Jesus placed His hands on the man’s eyes, and when he opened them his sight was restored, and he could see everything clearly.
26Yesu akamwambia aende zake nyumbani na kumwamuru, “Usirudi kijijini!”
26Jesus sent him home and said, “Do not go back into the village.”
27Kisha Yesu na wanafunzi wake walikwenda katika vijiji vya Kaisarea Filipi. Walipokuwa njiani, Yesu aliwauliza wanafunzi wake, “Watu wanasema mimi ni nani?”
27Then Jesus and His disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say I am?”
28Wakamjibu, “Wengine wanasema wewe ni Yohane Mbatizaji, wengine Eliya na wengine mmojawapo wa manabii.”
28They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.”
29Naye akawauliza, “Na ninyi je, mnasema mimi ni nani?” Petro akamjibu, “Wewe ndiwe Kristo.”
29“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”
30Kisha Yesu akawaonya wasimwambie mtu yeyote habari zake.
30And Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about Him.
31Yesu alianza kuwafundisha wanafunzi wake: “Ni lazima Mwana wa Mtu apatwe na mateso mengi na kukataliwa na wazee na makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria. Atauawa na baada ya siku tatu atafufuka.”
31Then He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and after three days rise again.
32Yesu aliwaambia jambo hilo waziwazi. Basi, Petro akamchukua kando, akaanza kumkemea.
32He spoke this message quite frankly, and Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.
33Lakini Yesu akageuka, akawatazama wanafunzi wake, akamkemea Petro akisema, “Ondoka mbele yangu, Shetani! Fikira zako si za kimungu ila ni za kibinadamu!”
33But Jesus, turning and looking at His disciples, rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”
34Kisha akauita umati wa watu pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akawaambia, “Mtu yeyote akitaka kuwa mfuasi wangu, lazima ajikane mwenyewe, auchukue msalaba wake, anifuate.
34Then Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples, and He told them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.
35Maana mtu anayetaka kuyaokoa maisha yake mwenyewe, atayapoteza, lakini mtu atakayepoteza maisha yake kwa ajili yangu na kwa ajili ya Habari Njema, atayaokoa.
35For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and for the gospel will save it.
36Je, kuna faida gani mtu kuupata ulimwengu wote na kuyapoteza maisha yake?
36What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?
37Ama mtu atatoa kitu gani badala ya maisha yake?
37Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
38Mtu yeyote katika kizazi hiki kiovu na kisichomjali Mungu anayenionea aibu mimi na mafundisho yangu, Mwana wa Mtu atamwonea aibu mtu huyo wakati atakapokuja katika utukufu wa Baba yake pamoja na malaika watakatifu.”
38If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in His Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
