Marko 1

Mahubiri ya Yohane Mbatizaji

(Mat 3:1-12; Luka 3:1-18; Yon. 1:19-28)

1 Habari Njema ya Yesu Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu.t 2 Ilianza kama ilivyoandikwa katika kitabu cha nabii Isaya: “Mungu alisema, ‘Namtuma mjumbe wangu akutangulie, ambaye atakutayarishia njia yako.’

3 Sauti ya mtu anaita jangwani: ‘Mtayarishieni Bwana njia yake, nyosheni barabara zake.’”

4 Yohane Mbatizaji alitokea jangwani, akahubiri kwamba watu watubu na kubatizwa ili Mungu awasamehe dhambi zao. 5 Watu kutoka sehemu zote za Yudea na wenyeji wote wa Yerusalemu walimwendea, wakaziungama dhambi zao, naye akawabatiza katika mto Yordani.

6 Yohane alikuwa amevaa vazi lililofumwa kwa manyoya ya ngamia, na ukanda wa ngozi kiunoni mwake. Chakula chake kilikuwa nzige na asali ya mwituni. 7 Naye alihubiri akisema, “Baada yangu anakuja mwenye nguvu zaidi kuliko mimi, ambaye mimi sistahili hata kuinama na kufungua kamba za viatu vyake. 8 Mimi ninawabatiza kwa maji, lakini yeye atawabatiza kwa Roho Mtakatifu.”

Kubatizwa na kujaribiwa kwa Yesu

(Mat 3:13–4:11; Luka 3:21-22; 4:1-13)

9 Siku hizo, Yesu alifika kutoka Nazareti, mji wa Galilaya, akabatizwa na Yohane katika mto Yordani. 10 Mara tu alipotoka majini, aliona mbingu zimefunguliwa, na Roho akishuka juu yake kama njiwa. 11 t Sauti ikasikika kutoka mbinguni: “Wewe ni Mwanangu mpendwa, nimependezwa nawe.” 

12 Mara akaongozwa na Roho kwenda jangwani, 13 akakaa huko siku arubaini akijaribiwa na Shetani. Alikuwa huko pamoja na wanyama wa porini, nao malaika wakawa wanamhudumia.

Yesu anawaita wavuvi wanne

(Mat 4:12-22; Luka 4:14-15; 5:1-11)

14 Yohane alipokwisha fungwa gerezani, Yesu alikwenda Galilaya, akahubiri Habari Njema ya Mungu, akisema, 15 “Wakati umetimia, na ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia. Tubuni na kuiamini Habari Njema!”

16 Alipokuwa anapita kando ya ziwa Galilaya, aliwaona wavuvi wawili: Simoni na Andrea ndugu yake wakivua samaki kwa wavu. 17 Yesu akawaambia, “Nifuateni nami nitawafanya nyinyi kuwa wavuvi wa watu.” 18 Mara wakaziacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata. 19 Alipokwenda mbele kidogo, aliwaona Yakobo na Yohane, wana wa Zebedayo. Nao pia walikuwa ndani ya mashua yao wakizitengeneza nyavu zao. 20 Yesu akawaita mara, nao wakamwacha baba yao Zebedayo katika mashua pamoja na wafanyakazi, wakamfuata.

Mtu mwenye pepo mchafu

(Luka 4:31-37)

21 Wakafika mjini Kafarnaumu, na mara ilipofika Sabato, Yesu akaingia katika sunagogi, akaanza kufundisha. 22 Watu wote waliomsikia walishangazwa na mafundisho yake, maana hakuwa anafundisha kama waalimu wao wa sheria, bali kama mtu mwenye mamlaka.

23 Mara akatokea mle ndani ya sunagogi mtu mmoja mwenye pepo mchafu, 24 akapaza sauti, “Una nini nasi, wewe Yesu wa Nazareti? Je, umekuja kutuangamiza? Najua wewe ni nani: Wewe ni Mtakatifu wa Mungu!” 25 Yesu akamkemea huyo pepo akisema, “Nyamaza! Mtoke mtu huyu.” 26 Basi, huyo pepo mchafu akamtikisatikisa mtu huyo, kisha akalia kwa sauti kubwa, akamtoka. 27 Watu wote wakashangaa, wakaulizana, “Ni mambo gani haya? Je, ni mafundisho mapya? Mtu huyu anayo mamlaka ya kuamuru hata pepo wachafu, nao wanamtii!” 28 Habari za Yesu zikaenea upesi kila mahali katika eneo la Galilaya.

Yesu anawaponya watu wengi

(Mat 8:14-17; Luka 4:38-41)

29 Wakatoka katika sunagogi, wakaenda moja kwa moja hadi nyumbani kwa Simoni na Andrea; Yakobo na Yohane walikwenda pamoja nao. 30 Basi, mama mmoja, mkwewe Simoni, alikuwa kitandani ana homa kali. Wakamwarifu Yesu mara alipowasili. 31 Yesu akamwendea huyo mama, akamshika mkono, akamwinua. Na ile homa ikamwacha, akaanza kuwatumikia.

32 Jioni, jua lilipokwisha tua, wakamletea Yesu wagonjwa wote na watu waliopagawa na pepo. 33 Watu wote wa mji ule wakakusanyika nje ya mlango. 34 Naye Yesu akawaponya watu wengi waliokuwa na magonjwa mbalimbali; aliwafukuza pepo wengi, lakini hakuwaruhusu kusema kitu maana walikuwa wanamjua yeye ni nani.

Yesu anahubiri Galilaya

(Luka 4:42-44)

35 Kesho yake, kabla ya mapambazuko, Yesu alitoka, akaenda mahali pa faragha kusali. 36 Simoni na wenzake wakaenda kumtafuta. 37 Walipomwona, wakamwambia, “Kila mtu anakutafuta.” 38 Yesu akawaambia, “Twendeni katika miji mingine ya jirani nikahubiri huko pia, maana nimekuja kwa sababu hiyo.” 39 Basi, akaenda kila mahali huko Galilaya akihubiri katika masunagogi na kufukuza pepo.

Yesu anamponya mtu mwenye ukoma

(Mat 8:1-4; Luka 5:12-16)

40 Mtu mmoja mwenye ukoma alimwendea Yesu, akapiga magoti, akamwomba: “Ukitaka, waweza kunitakasa!” 41 Yesu akamwonea huruma, akanyosha mkono wake, akamgusa na kumwambia, “Nataka! Takasika!” 42 Mara ukoma ukamwacha mtu huyo, akatakasika. 43 Kisha Yesu akamwambia aende zake upesi na kumwambia, 44 “Angalia usimwambie mtu yeyote jambo hili, ila nenda ukajioneshe kwa kuhani na ukatoe sadaka kwa ajili ya kutakasika kwako kama alivyoamuru Mose kuwathibitishia kwamba umepona.” 45 Lakini huyo mtu akaenda, akaanza kueneza habari hiyo kila mahali na kusema mambo mengi hata Yesu hakuweza tena kuingia katika mji wowote waziwazi; ikamlazimu kukaa nje, mahali pa faragha. Hata hivyo, watu wakamwendea kutoka kila upande.

Mark 1

1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.2 Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way.3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight;4 John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins.5 And there went out unto him all the country of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem; And they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.6 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and had a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey.7 And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.8 I baptized you in water; But he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit.9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan.10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him:11 And a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.12 And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness.13 And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; And he was with the wild beasts; And the angels ministered unto him.14 Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,15 and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe in the gospel.16 And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishers.17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.18 And straightway they left the nets, and followed him.19 And going on a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets.20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.21 And they go into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.22 And they were astonished at his teaching: For he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.23 And straightway there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,24 saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.26 And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.28 And the report of him went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about.29 And straightway, when they were come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.30 Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever; and straightway they tell him of her:31 and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with demons.33 And all the city was gathered together at the door.34 And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.35 And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed.36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him;37 and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee.38 And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth.39 And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.40 And there cometh to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.41 And being moved with compassion, he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou made clean.42 And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.43 And he strictly charged him, and straightway sent him out,44 and saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
