¹And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was there a man having the hand withered,

¹Yesu aliingia tena katika sunagogi na mle ndani mlikuwa na mtu aliyekuwa na mkono uliopooza.

²and they were watching him, whether on the sabbaths he will heal him, that they might accuse him.

²Humo baadhi ya watu walimngojea amponye mtu huyo siku ya sabato ili wapate kumshtaki.

³And he saith to the man having the hand withered, `Rise up in the midst.`

³Yesu akamwambia huyo mtu aliyekuwa na mkono uliopooza, "Njoo hapa katikati."

⁴And he saith to them, `Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save, or to kill?` but they were silent.

⁴Kisha, akawauliza, "Je, ni halali siku ya Sabato kutenda jambo jema au kutenda jambo baya; kuokoa maisha au kuua?" Lakini wao hawakusema neno.

⁵And having looked round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he saith to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand;` and he stretched forth, and his hand was restored whole as the other;

⁵Hapo akawatazama wote kwa hasira, akaona huzuni kwa sababu ya ugumu wa mioyo yao. Kisha akamwambia huyo mtu, "Nyosha mkono wako!" Naye akaunyosha mkono wake, ukawa mzima tena.

⁶and the Pharisees having gone forth, immediately, with the Herodians, were taking counsel against him how they might destroy him.

⁶Mara Mafarisayo wakatoka nje, wakafanya shauri pamoja na watu wa kikundi cha Herode jinsi ya kumwangamiza Yesu.

⁷And Jesus withdrew with his disciples unto the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea,

⁷Yesu aliondoka hapo pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akaenda kando ya ziwa, na umati wa watu ukamfuata. Watu hao walikuwa wametoka Yerusalemu, Yudea,

⁸and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon — a great multitude — having heard how great things he was doing, came unto him.

⁸Idumea, ng'ambo ya mto Yordani, Tiro na Sidoni. Watu hao wengi walimwendea Yesu kwa sababu ya kusikia mambo mengi aliyokuwa ameyatenda.

⁹And he said to his disciples that a little boat may wait on him, because of the multitude, that they may not press upon him,

⁹Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake wamtayarishie mashua moja, ili umati wa watu usije ukamsonga.

¹⁰for he did heal many, so that they threw themselves on him, in order to touch him — as many as had plagues;

¹⁰Alikuwa amewaponya watu wengi, na wagonjwa wote wakawa wanamsonga ili wapate kumgusa.

¹¹and the unclean spirits, when they were seeing him, were falling down before him, and were crying, saying — `Thou art the Son of God;`

¹¹Na watu waliokuwa wamepagawa na pepo wachafu walipomwona, walijitupa chini mbele yake na kupaaza sauti, "Wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu!"

¹²and many times he was charging them that they might not make him manifest.

¹²Lakini Yesu akawaamuru kwa ukali wasimjulishe kwa watu.

¹³And he goeth up to the mountain, and doth call near whom he willed, and they went away to him;

¹³Yesu alipanda kilimani, akawaita wale aliowataka. Basi, wakamwendea,

¹⁴and he appointed twelve, that they may be with him, and that he may send them forth to preach,

¹⁴naye akawateua watu kumi na wawili ambao aliwaita mitume, wakae naye, awatume kuhubiri

¹⁵and to have power to heal the sicknesses, and to cast out the demons.

¹⁵na wawe na mamlaka ya kuwafukuza pepo.

¹⁶And he put on Simon the name Peter;

¹⁶Basi, hao kumi na wawili walioteuliwa ndio hawa: Simoni (ambaye Yesu alimpa jina, Petro),

¹⁷and James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he put on them names — Boanerges, that is, `Sons of thunder;`

¹⁷Yakobo na Yohane, wana wa Zebedayo (Yesu aliwapa hawa ndugu wawili jina Boanerge, maana yake "wanangurumo"),

¹⁸and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananite,

¹⁸Andrea na Filipo, Batholomayo, Mathayo, Thoma, Yakobo mwana wa Alfayo, Thadayo, Simoni Mkanani na

¹⁹and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up; and they come into a house.

¹⁹Yuda Iskarioti ambaye alimsaliti Yesu.

²⁰And come together again doth a multitude, so that they are not able even to eat bread;

²⁰Kisha Yesu alikwenda nyumbani. Umati wa watu ukakusanyika tena, hata Yesu na wafuasi wake wasiweze kupata nafasi ya kula chakula.

²¹and his friends having heard, went forth to lay hold on him, for they said that he was beside himself,

²¹Basi, watu wa jamaa yake walipopata habari hiyo wakatoka kwenda kumchukua maana walikuwa wanasema kwamba amepatwa na wazimu.

²²and the scribes who [are] from Jerusalem having come down, said — `He hath Beelzeboul,` and — `By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.`

²²Nao walimu wa Sheria waliokuwa wametoka Yerusalemu, wakasema, "Ana Beelzebuli! Tena, anawafukuza pepo kwa nguvu ya mkuu wa pepo."

²³And, having called them near, in similes he said to them, `How is the Adversary able to cast out the Adversary?

²³Hapo Yesu akawaita, akawaambia kwa mifano, "Shetani anawezaje kumfukuza Shetani?

²⁴and if a kingdom against itself be divided, that kingdom cannot be made to stand;

²⁴Ikiwa utawala mmoja umegawanyika makundimakundi yanayopigana, utawala huo hauwezi kudumu.

²⁵and if a house against itself be divided, that house cannot be made to stand;

²⁵Tena, ikiwa jamaa moja imegawanyika makundimakundi yanayopingana, jamaa hiyo itaangamia.

²⁶and if the Adversary did rise against himself, and hath been divided, he cannot be made to stand, but hath an end.

²⁶Ikiwa basi, utawala wa Shetani umegawanyika vikundivikundi hauwezi kudumu, bali utaangamia kabisa.

²⁷`No one is able the vessels of the strong man — having entered into his house — to spoil, if first he may not bind the strong man, and then his house he will spoil.

²⁷"Hakuna mtu awezaye kuivamia nyumba ya mtu mwenye nguvu na kumnyang'anya mali yake, isipokuwa kwanza amemfunga huyo mtu mwenye nguvu; hapo ndipo atakapoweza kumnyang'anya mali yake.

²⁸`Verily I say to you, that all the sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and evil speakings with which they might speak evil,

²⁸"Kweli nawaambieni, watu watasamehewa dhambi zao zote na kufuru zao zote;

²⁹but whoever may speak evil in regard to the Holy Spirit hath not forgiveness — to the age, but is in danger of age-during judgment;`

²⁹lakini anayesema mabaya dhidi ya Roho Mtakatifu, hatasamehewa kamwe; ana hatia ya dhambi ya milele."

³⁰because they said, `He hath an unclean spirit.`

³⁰(Yesu alisema hivyo kwa sababu walikuwa wanasema, "Ana pepo mchafu.")

³¹Then come do his brethren and mother, and standing without, they sent unto him, calling him,

³¹Mama yake Yesu na ndugu zake walifika hapo, wakasimama nje, wakampelekea ujumbe kutaka kumwona.

³²and a multitude was sitting about him, and they said to him, `Lo, thy mother and thy brethren without do seek thee.`

³²Umati wa watu ulikuwa umekaa hapo kumzunguka. Basi, wakamwambia, "Mama yako na ndugu zako wako nje, wanataka kukuona."

³³And he answered them, saying, `Who is my mother, or my brethren?`

³³Yesu akawaambia, "Mama yangu na ndugu zangu ni kina nani?"

³⁴And having looked round in a circle to those sitting about him, he saith, `Lo, my mother and my brethren!

³⁴Hapo akawatazama watu waliokuwa wamemzunguka, akasema, "Tazameni! Hawa ndio mama yangu na ndugu zangu.

³⁵for whoever may do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.`

³⁵Mtu yeyote anayefanya anayotaka Mungu, huyo ndiye kaka yangu, dada yangu na mama yangu."
