MK. 10
Mafundisho juu ya Talaka
1 t tAkaondoka huko akafika mipakani mwa Uyahudi, na ng’ambo ya Yordani; makutano mengi wakakutanika tena wakamwendea; akawafundisha tena kama alivyozoea. 2 Basi Mafarisayo wakamwendea, wakamwuliza, Je! Ni halali mtu kumwacha mkewe? Huku wakimjaribu. 3 Naye akajibu, akawaambia, Musa aliwaamuru nini? 4 tWakasema, Musa alitoa ruhusa kuandika hati ya talaka na kumwacha. 5 Yesu akawaambia, Kwa sababu ya ugumu wa mioyo yenu aliwaandikia amri hii. 6 tLakini tangu mwanzo wa kuumbwa ulimwengu, aliwafanya mume na mke. 7 tKwa sababu hiyo mtu atamwacha babaye na mamaye, ataambatana na mkewe; 8 na hao wawili watakuwa mwili mmoja; hata wamekuwa si wawili tena, bali mwili mmoja. 9 Basi alichokiunganisha Mungu, mwanadamu asikitenganishe. 10 Hata nyumbani tena wanafunzi wakamwuliza habari ya neno hilo. 11 ttAkawaambia, Kila mtu atakayemwacha mkewe na kuoa mwingine azini juu yake;
12 na mke, akimwacha mumewe na kuolewa na mtu mwingine, azini.Yesu Awabariki Watoto wadogo
13 tBasi wakamletea watoto wadogo ili awaguse; wanafunzi wake wakawakemea. 14 Ila Yesu alipoona alichukizwa sana, akawaambia, Waacheni watoto wadogo waje kwangu, msiwazuie; kwa maana watoto kama hawa ufalme wa Mungu ni wao. 15 tAmin, nawaambieni, Ye yote asiyeukubali ufalme wa Mungu kama mtoto mdogo hatauingia kabisa.
16 tAkawakumbatia, akaweka mikono yake juu yao, akawabarikia.Mtu aliyekuwa Tajiri
17 tHata alipokuwa akitoka kwenda njiani, mtu mmoja akaja mbio, akampigia magoti, akamwuliza, Mwalimu mwema, nifanye nini nipate kuurithi uzima wa milele? 18 Yesu akamwambia, Kwa nini kuniita mwema? Hakuna aliye mwema ila mmoja, ndiye Mungu. 19 tWazijua amri, Usiue, Usizini, Usiibe, Usishuhudie uongo, Usidanganye, Waheshimu baba yako na mama yako. 20 Akamwambia, Mwalimu, haya yote nimeyashika tangu utoto wangu. 21 tYesu akamkazia macho, akampenda, akamwambia, Umepungukiwa na neno moja. Enenda, ukauze ulivyo navyo vyote, uwape maskini, nawe utakuwa na hazina mbinguni; kisha njoo unifuate.
22 Walakini yeye akakunja uso kwa neno hilo, akaenda zake kwa huzuni; kwa sababu alikuwa na mali nyingi.
23 Yesu akatazama kotekote, akawaambia wanafunzi wake, Jinsi itakavyokuwa shida wenye mali kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu! 24 tWanafunzi wakashangaa kwa maneno yake. Yesu akajibu tena, akawaambia, Watoto, jinsi ilivyo shida wenye kutegemea mali kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu! 25 Ni rahisi ngamia kupenya katika tundu ya sindano kuliko tajiri kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu. 26 Nao wakashangaa mno, wakimwambia, Ni nani, basi, awezaye kuokoka? 27 tYesu akawakazia macho, akasema, Kwa wanadamu haiwezekani, bali kwa Mungu sivyo; maana yote yawezekana kwa Mungu. 28 Petro akaanza kumwambia, Tazama, sisi tumeacha vyote tukakufuata wewe. 29 Yesu akasema, Amin, nawaambieni, Hakuna mtu aliyeacha nyumba, au ndugu waume, au ndugu wake, au mama, au baba, au watoto, au mashamba, kwa ajili yangu, na kwa ajili ya Injili, 30 ila atapewa mara mia sasa wakati huu, nyumba, na ndugu waume, na ndugu wake, na mama, na watoto, na mashamba, pamoja na udhia; na katika ulimwengu ujao uzima wa milele.
31 tLakini wengi walio wa kwanza watakuwa wa mwisho; na wa mwisho watakuwa wa kwanza.Yesu asema juu ya Kufa na Kufufuka kwake kwa Mara ya Tatu
32 t tNao walikuwako njiani, huku wakipanda kwenda Yerusalemu; na Yesu alikuwa akiwatangulia, wakashangaa, nao katika kufuata wakaogopa. Akawatwaa tena wale Thenashara, akaanza kuwaambia habari za mambo yatakayompata, 33 akisema, Angalieni, tunapanda kwenda Yerusalemu; na Mwana wa Adamu atatiwa mikononi mwa wakuu wa makuhani na waandishi, nao watamhukumu afe, watamtia mikononi mwa Mataifa,
34 nao watamdhihaki, na kumtemea mate, na kumpiga mijeledi, na kumwua; na baada ya siku tatu atafufuka.Ombi la Yakobo na Yohana
35 tNa Yakobo na Yohana, wana wa Zebedayo, wakamwendea, wakamwambia, Mwalimu, twataka utufanyie lo lote tutakalokuomba. 36 Akawaambia, Mwataka niwafanyie nini? 37 Wakamwambia, Utujalie sisi tuketi, mmoja mkono wako wa kuume, na mmoja mkono wako wa kushoto, katika utukufu wako. 38 tYesu akawaambia, Hamjui mnaloliomba. Mwaweza kunywea kikombe ninyweacho mimi, au kubatizwa ubatizo nibatizwao mimi? 39 tWakamwambia, Twaweza. Yesu akawaambia, Kikombe ninyweacho mimi mtakinywea, na ubatizo nibatizwao mimi mtabatizwa; 40 lakini habari ya kuketi mkono wangu wa kuume au mkono wangu wa kushoto si langu kuwapa, ila wao watapewa waliowekewa tayari. 41 Hata wale kumi waliposikia wakaanza kuwakasirikia Yakobo na Yohana. 42 tYesu akawaita, akawaambia, Mwajua ya kuwa wale wanaohesabiwa kuwa wakuu wa Mataifa huwatawala kwa nguvu, na wakubwa wao huwatumikisha. 43 tLakini haitakuwa hivyo kwenu; bali mtu anayetaka kuwa mkubwa kwenu, atakuwa mtumishi wenu, 44 na mtu anayetaka kuwa wa kwanza wenu, atakuwa mtumwa wa wote.
45 Kwa maana Mwana wa Adamu naye hakuja kutumikiwa, bali kutumika, na kutoa nafsi yake iwe fidia ya wengi.Kuponywa kwa Kipofu Bartimayo
46 tWakafika Yeriko; hata alipokuwa akishika njia kutoka Yeriko, pamoja na wanafunzi wake, na mkutano mkubwa, mwana wa Timayo, Bartimayo, yule mwombaji kipofu, alikuwa ameketi kando ya njia. 47 Naye aliposikia ya kwamba ni Yesu Mnazareti, alianza kupaza sauti yake, na kusema, Mwana wa Daudi, Yesu, unirehemu. 48 Na wengi wakamkemea ili anyamaze, lakini alizidi kupaza sauti, Mwana wa Daudi, unirehemu. 49 Yesu akasimama akasema, Mwiteni. Wakamwita yule kipofu, wakamwambia, Jipe moyo; inuka, anakuita. 50 Akatupa vazi lake, akaruka, akamwendea Yesu. 51 Yesu akamjibu, akamwambia, Wataka nikufanyie nini? Yule kipofu akamwambia, Mwalimu wangu, nataka nipate kuona. 52 Yesu akamwambia, Enenda zako, imani yako imekuponya. Mara akapata kuona; akamfuata njiani.
MARK 10
Teaching about Divorce
(Matthew 19.1-12; Luke 16.18)
1 After Jesus left, he went to Judea and then on to the other side of the Jordan River. Once again large crowds came to him, and as usual, he taught them.
2 Some Pharisees wanted to test Jesus. So they came up to him and asked if it was right for a man to divorce his wife.
3 Jesus asked them, “What does the Law of Moses say about this?”
4 t They answered, “Moses allows a man to write out divorce papers and send his wife away.”
5 Jesus replied, “Moses gave you this law because you are so heartless. 6 t But in the beginning God made a man and a woman. 7 t That's why a man leaves his father and mother and gets married. 8 He becomes like one person with his wife. Then they are no longer two people, but one.
9 And no one should separate a couple that God has joined together.”
10 When Jesus and his disciples were back in the house, they asked him about what he had said. 11 t He told them, “A man who divorces his wife and marries someone else is unfaithful to his wife.
12 A woman who divorces her husbandt and marries again is also unfaithful.”Jesus Blesses Little Children
(Matthew 19.13-15; Luke 18.15-17)
13 Some people brought their children to Jesus so he could bless them by placing his hands on them. But his disciples told the people to stop bothering him.
14 When Jesus saw this, he became angry and said, “Let the children come to me! Don't try to stop them. People who are like these little children belong to the kingdom of God.t 15 t I promise you that you cannot get into God's kingdom, unless you accept it the way a child does.”
16 Then Jesus took the children in his arms and blessed them by placing his hands on them.A Rich Man
(Matthew 19.16-30; Luke 18.18-30)
17 As Jesus was walking down a road, a man ran up to him. He knelt down, and asked, “Good teacher, what can I do to have eternal life?”
18 Jesus replied, “Why do you call me good? Only God is good.
19 t You know the commandments. ‘Do not murder. Be faithful in marriage. Do not steal. Do not tell lies about others. Do not cheat. Respect your father and mother.’ ”
20 The man answered, “Teacher, I have obeyed all these commandments since I was a young man.”
21 Jesus looked closely at the man. He liked him and said, “There's one thing you still need to do. Go sell everything you own. Give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come with me.”
22 When the man heard Jesus say this, he went away gloomy and sad because he was very rich.
23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “It's hard for rich people to get into God's kingdom!” 24 The disciples were shocked to hear this. So Jesus told them again, “It's terribly hardt to get into God's kingdom!
25 In fact, it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get into God's kingdom.”
26 Jesus' disciples were even more amazed. They asked each other, “How can anyone ever be saved?”
27 Jesus looked at them and said, “There are some things that people cannot do, but God can do anything.”
28 Peter replied, “Remember, we left everything to be your followers!”
29 Jesus told him:
You can be sure that anyone who gives up home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or land for me and for the good news 30 will be rewarded. In this world they will be given 100 times as many houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and pieces of land, though they will also be mistreated. And in the world to come, they will have eternal life.
31 t But many who are now first will be last, and many who are now last will be first.Jesus Again //Tells about His Death
(Matthew 20.17-19; Luke 18.31-34)
32 The disciples were confused as Jesus led them toward Jerusalem, and his other followers were afraid. Once again, Jesus took the twelve disciples aside and told them what was going to happen to him. He said:
33 We are now on our way to Jerusalem where the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses. They will sentence him to death and hand him over to foreigners, t
34 who will make fun of him and spit on him. They will beat him and kill him. But three days later he will rise to life.The Request of James //and John
(Matthew 20.20-28)
35 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, will you do us a favor?”
36 Jesus asked them what they wanted,
37 and they answered, “When you come into your glory, please let one of us sit at your right side and the other at your left.”t
38 t Jesus told them, “You don't really know what you're asking! Are you able to drink from the cupt that I must soon drink from or be baptized as I must be baptized?”t
39 “Yes, we are!” James and John answered.
Then Jesus replied, “You certainly will drink from the cup from which I must drink. And you will be baptized just as I must!
40 But it isn't for me to say who will sit at my right side and at my left. This is for God to decide.”
41 When the ten other disciples heard this, they were angry with James and John.
42 t But Jesus called the disciples together and said:
You know that those foreigners who call themselves kings like to order their people around. And their great leaders have full power over the people they rule. 43 t But don't act like them. If you want to be great, you must be the servant of all the others. 44 And if you want to be first, you must be everyone's slave.
45 t The Son of Man did not come to be a slave master, but a slave who will give his life to rescuet many people.Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus
(Matthew 20.29-34; Luke 18.35-43)
46 Jesus and his disciples went to Jericho. And as they were leaving, they were followed by a large crowd. A blind beggar by the name of Bartimaeus son of Timaeus was sitting beside the road. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus from Nazareth, he shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, t have pity on me!”
48 Many people told the man to stop, but he shouted even louder, “Son of David, have pity on me!”
49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him over!”
They called out to the blind man and said, “Don't be afraid! Come on! He is calling for you.”
50 The man threw off his coat as he jumped up and ran to Jesus.
51 Jesus asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”
The blind man answered, “Master, t I want to see!”
52 Jesus told him, “You may go. Your eyes are healed because of your faith.”
At once the man could see, and he went down the road with Jesus.
