Jesus in Judæa
Beyond Jordan
1 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judæa by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.
Akaondoka huko akafika mipakani mwa Uyahudi, na ng'ambo ya Yordani; makutano mengi wakakutanika tena wakamwendea; akawafundisha tena kama alivyozoea.
2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.
Basi Mafarisayo wakamwendea, wakamwuliza, Je! Ni halali mtu kumwacha mkewe? Huku wakimjaribu.
3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
Naye akajibu, akawaambia, Musa aliwaamuru nini?
4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
Wakasema, Musa alitoa ruhusa kuandika hati ya talaka na kumwacha.
5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
Yesu akawaambia, Kwa sababu ya ugumu wa mioyo yenu aliwaandikia amri hii.
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
Lakini tangu mwanzo wa kuumbwa ulimwengu, aliwafanya mume na mke.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
Kwa sababu hiyo mtu atamwacha babaye na mamaye, ataambatana na mkewe;
8 and they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
na hao wawili watakuwa mwili mmoja; hata wamekuwa si wawili tena, bali mwili mmoja.
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Basi alichokiunganisha Mungu, mwanadamu asikitenganishe.
10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter .
Hata nyumbani tena wanafunzi wakamwuliza habari ya neno hilo.
11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
Akawaambia, Kila mtu atakayemwacha mkewe na kuoa mwingine azini juu yake;
12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
na mke, akimwacha mumewe na kuolewa na mtu mwingine, azini.
13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them .
Basi wakamletea watoto wadogo ili awaguse; wanafunzi wake wakawakemea.
14 But when Jesus saw it , he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Ila Yesu alipoona alichukizwa sana, akawaambia, Waacheni watoto wadogo waje kwangu, msiwazuie; kwa maana watoto kama hawa ufalme wa Mungu ni wao.
15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
Amin, nawaambieni, Ye yote asiyeukubali ufalme wa Mungu kama mtoto mdogo hatauingia kabisa.
16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
Akawakumbatia, akaweka mikono yake juu yao, akawabarikia.
17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
Hata alipokuwa akitoka kwenda njiani, mtu mmoja akaja mbio, akampigia magoti, akamwuliza, Mwalimu mwema, nifanye nini nipate kuurithi uzima wa milele?
18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is , God.
Yesu akamwambia, Kwa nini kuniita mwema? Hakuna aliye mwema ila mmoja, ndiye Mungu.
19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
Wazijua amri, Usiue, Usizini, Usiibe, Usishuhudie uongo, Usidanganye, Waheshimu baba yako na mama yako.
20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
Akamwambia, Mwalimu, haya yote nimeyashika tangu utoto wangu.
21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Yesu akamkazia macho, akampenda, akamwambia, Umepungukiwa na neno moja. Enenda, ukauze ulivyo navyo vyote, uwape maskini, nawe utakuwa na hazina mbinguni; kisha njoo unifuate.
22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
Walakini yeye akakunja uso kwa neno hilo, akaenda zake kwa huzuni; kwa sababu alikuwa na mali nyingi.
23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
Yesu akatazama kotekote, akawaambia wanafunzi wake, Jinsi itakavyokuwa shida wenye mali kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu!
24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
Wanafunzi wakashangaa kwa maneno yake. Yesu akajibu tena, akawaambia, Watoto, jinsi ilivyo shida wenye kutegemea mali kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu!
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Ni rahisi ngamia kupenya katika tundu ya sindano kuliko tajiri kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu.
26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
Nao wakashangaa mno, wakimwambia, Ni nani, basi, awezaye kuokoka?
27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
Yesu akawakazia macho, akasema, Kwa wanadamu haiwezekani, bali kwa Mungu sivyo; maana yote yawezekana kwa Mungu.
28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
Petro akaanza kumwambia, Tazama, sisi tumeacha vyote tukakufuata wewe.
29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
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 but he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
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 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
Lakini wengi walio wa kwanza watakuwa wa mwisho; na wa mwisho watakuwa wa kwanza.
On the Way to Jerusalem
32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,
Nao 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 saying , Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
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 and they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
nao watamdhihaki, na kumtemea mate, na kumpiga mijeledi, na kumwua; na baada ya siku tatu atafufuka.
The Sons of Zebedee
35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.
Na Yakobo na Yohana, wana wa Zebedayo, wakamwendea, wakamwambia, Mwalimu, twataka utufanyie lo lote tutakalokuomba.
36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
Akawaambia, Mwataka niwafanyie nini?
37 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.
Wakamwambia, Utujalie sisi tuketi, mmoja mkono wako wa kuume, na mmoja mkono wako wa kushoto, katika utukufu wako.
38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
Yesu akawaambia, Hamjui mnaloliomba. Mwaweza kunywea kikombe ninyweacho mimi, au kubatizwa ubatizo nibatizwao mimi?
39 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
Wakamwambia, Twaweza. Yesu akawaambia, Kikombe ninyweacho mimi mtakinywea, na ubatizo nibatizwao mimi mtabatizwa;
40 but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.
lakini habari ya kuketi mkono wangu wa kuume au mkono wangu wa kushoto si langu kuwapa, ila wao watapewa waliowekewa tayari.
41 And when the ten heard it , they began to be much displeased with James and John.
Hata wale kumi waliposikia wakaanza kuwakasirikia Yakobo na Yohana.
42 But Jesus called them to him , and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.
Yesu akawaita, akawaambia, Mwajua ya kuwa wale wanaohesabiwa kuwa wakuu wa Mataifa huwatawala kwa nguvu, na wakubwa wao huwatumikisha.
43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
Lakini haitakuwa hivyo kwenu; bali mtu anayetaka kuwa mkubwa kwenu, atakuwa mtumishi wenu,
44 and whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
na mtu anayetaka kuwa wa kwanza wenu, atakuwa mtumwa wa wote.
45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Kwa maana Mwana wa Adamu naye hakuja kutumikiwa, bali kutumika, na kutoa nafsi yake iwe fidia ya wengi.
Jericho
46 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimæus, the son of Timæus, sat by the highway side begging.
Wakafika 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 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
Naye aliposikia ya kwamba ni Yesu Mnazareti, alianza kupaza sauti yake, na kusema, Mwana wa Daudi, Yesu, unirehemu.
48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
Na wengi wakamkemea ili anyamaze, lakini alizidi kupaza sauti, Mwana wa Daudi, unirehemu.
49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
Yesu akasimama akasema, Mwiteni. Wakamwita yule kipofu, wakamwambia, Jipe moyo; inuka, anakuita.
50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
Akatupa vazi lake, akaruka, akamwendea Yesu.
51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
Yesu akamjibu, akamwambia, Wataka nikufanyie nini? Yule kipofu akamwambia, Mwalimu wangu, nataka nipate kuona.
52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
Yesu akamwambia, Enenda zako, imani yako imekuponya. Mara akapata kuona; akamfuata njiani.
