¹And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was there a man having his hand dried up.

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

²And they watched him if he would heal him on the sabbath, that they might accuse him.

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

³And he says to the man who had his hand dried up, Rise up [and come] into the midst.

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

⁴And he says to them, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life 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 looking round upon them with anger, distressed at the hardening of their heart, he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched [it] out, and his hand was restored.

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 going out straightway with the Herodians took 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 to the sea; and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,

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 Idumaea and beyond the Jordan; and they of around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, having heard what things he did, came to 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 spoke to his disciples, in order that a little ship should wait upon him on account of the crowd, that they might not press upon him.

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

¹⁰For he healed many, so that they beset him that they might 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 beheld him, fell down before him, and cried 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 he rebuked them much, that they might not make him manifest.

¹²Lakini Yesu akawaamuru kwa ukali wasimjulishe kwa watu.

¹³And he goes up into the mountain, and calls whom he himself would, and they went to him.

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

¹⁴And he appointed twelve that they might be with him, and that he might send them to preach,

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

¹⁵and to have power [to heal diseases, and] to cast out demons.

¹⁵na wawe na mamlaka ya kuwafukuza pepo.

¹⁶And he gave to Simon the surname of Peter;

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

¹⁷and James the [son] of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he gave them the surname of 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 the [son] of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean,

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

¹⁹and Judas Iscariote, who also delivered him up. And they come to [the] house.

¹⁹Yuda Iskarioti ambaye alimsaliti Yesu.

²⁰And again a crowd comes together, so that they cannot even eat bread.

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

²¹And his relatives having heard [of it] went out to lay hold on him, for they said, He is out of his mind.

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

²²And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebub, and, By the prince of the demons he casts out demons.

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

²³And having called them to [him], he said to them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

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

²⁴And if a kingdom has become divided against itself, that kingdom cannot subsist.

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

²⁵And if a house has become divided against itself, that house cannot subsist.

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

²⁶And if Satan rise up against himself, and is divided, he cannot subsist, but has an end.

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

²⁷But no one can, having entered into his house, plunder the goods of the strong [man] unless he first bind the strong [man], and then he will plunder his house.

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.

²⁸Verily I say unto you, that all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and all the injurious speeches [with] which they may speak injuriously;

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

²⁹but whosoever shall speak injuriously against the Holy Spirit, to eternity has no forgiveness; but lies under the guilt of an everlasting sin;

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

³⁰-- because they said, He has an unclean spirit.

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

³¹And his brethren and his mother come, and standing without sent to him calling him.

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

³²And a crowd sat around him. And they said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren seek thee without.

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 looking around in a circuit at those that were sitting around him, he says, Behold my mother and my brethren:

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

³⁵for whosoever shall do the will of God, *he* is my brother, and sister, and mother.

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