Sabbath Problems
1 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.
Ikawa siku ya sabato moja alikuwa akipita katika mashamba, wanafunzi wake wakawa wakivunja masuke na kuyala, wakiyapukusa-pukusa mikononi mwao.
2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?
Basi baadhi ya Mafarisayo wakawaambia, Mbona mnafanya lisilo halali siku ya sabato?
3 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;
Yesu akawajibu akawaambia, Hamkulisoma hata hilo alilolifanya Daudi, alipokuwa na njaa, yeye na wale aliokuwa nao?
4 how he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
Jinsi alivyoingia katika nyumba ya Mungu, akaitwaa mikate ile ya Wonyesho, akaila akawapa na hao wenziwe, ambayo si halali kuila ila kwa makuhani peke yao.
5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
Akawaambia, Mwana wa Adamu ndiye Bwana wa sabato.
6 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.
Ikawa siku ya sabato nyingine aliingia katika sinagogi akafundisha; na mlikuwamo mtu ambaye mkono wake wa kuume umepooza.
7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.
Na waandishi na Mafarisayo walikuwa wakimvizia, ili waone kwamba ataponya siku ya sabato; kusudi wapate neno la kumshitakia.
8 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.
Lakini yeye akayatambua mawazo yao, akamwambia yule mwenye mkono uliopooza, Ondoka, simama katikati; akaondoka akasimama.
9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it ?
Ndipo Yesu akawaambia, Nawauliza ninyi, Je! Ni halali siku ya sabato kutenda mema, au kutenda mabaya; kuponya roho au kuangamiza?
10 And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
Akawakazia macho wote pande zote, akamwambia yule mtu, Nyosha mkono wako. Akaunyosha; mkono wake ukawa mzima tena.
11 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.
Wakajawa na uchungu, wakashauriana wao kwa wao wamtendeje Yesu.
12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
Ikawa siku zile aliondoka akaenda mlimani ili kuomba, akakesha usiku kucha katika kumwomba Mungu.
His Twelve Apostles
13 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;
Hata kulipokuwa mchana aliwaita wanafunzi wake; akachagua kumi na wawili miongoni mwao, ambao aliwaita Mitume;
14 Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
Simoni, aliyemwita jina la pili Petro, na Andrea nduguye, na Yakobo na Yohana, na Filipo na Bartolomayo,
15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphæus, and Simon called Zelotes,
na Mathayo na Tomaso, na Yakobo wa Alfayo, na Simoni aitwaye Zelote,
16 and Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.
na Yuda wa Yakobo, na Yuda Iskariote, ndiye aliyekuwa msaliti.
17 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judæa and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
Akashuka pamoja nao, akasimama mahali tambarare, pamoja na wanafunzi wake wengi, na makutano makubwa ya watu waliotoka Uyahudi wote na Yerusalemu, na pwani ya Tiro na Sidoni; waliokuja kumsikiliza na kuponywa magonjwa yao;
18 and they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.
na wale waliosumbuliwa na pepo wachafu; waliponywa.
19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.
Na makutano yote walikuwa wakitaka kumgusa, kwa sababu uweza ulikuwa ukimtoka ukiwaponya wote.
Addresses His Disciples
20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for your's is the kingdom of God.
Akainua macho yake akawatazama wanafunzi wake, akasema, Heri ninyi mlio maskini, kwa sababu ufalme wa Mungu ni wenu.
21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
Heri ninyi mlio na njaa sasa, kwa sababu mtashiba. Heri ninyi mliao sasa, kwa sababu mtacheka.
22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company , and shall reproach you , and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
Heri ninyi watu watakapowachukia, na kuwatenga, na kuwashutumu, na kulitupa nje jina lenu kama neno ovu, kwa ajili ya Mwana wa Adamu.
23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
Furahiwani siku ile na kuruka-ruka, kwa kuwa, tazama, thawabu yenu ni kubwa mbinguni, maana, baba zao waliwatenda manabii vivyo hivyo.
24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
Lakini, ole wenu ninyi mlio na mali, kwa kuwa faraja yenu mmekwisha kuipata.
25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
Ole wenu ninyi ambao mmeshiba sasa, kwa kuwa mtaona njaa. Ole wenu ninyi mnaocheka sasa, kwa kuwa mtaomboleza na kulia.
26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
Ole wenu ninyi watu wote watakapowasifu, kwa kuwa baba zao waliwatenda manabii wa uongo mambo kama hayo.
27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
Lakini nawaambia ninyi mnaosikia, Wapendeni adui zenu, watendeeni mema wale ambao wawachukia ninyi,
28 bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
wabarikieni wale ambao wawalaani ninyi, waombeeni wale ambao wawaonea ninyi.
29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.
Akupigaye shavu moja, mgeuzie la pili, naye akunyang'anyaye joho yako, usimzuilie na kanzu.
30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
Mpe kila akuombaye, na akunyang'anyaye vitu vyako, usitake akurudishie.
31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
Na kama mnavyotaka watu wawatendee ninyi, watendeeni vivyo hivyo.
32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
Maana mkiwapenda wale wawapendao ninyi, mwaonyesha fadhili gani? Kwa kuwa hata wenye dhambi huwapenda wale wawapendao.
33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
Nanyi mkiwatendea mema wale wawatendeao mema, mwaonyesha fadhili gani? Hata wenye dhambi hufanya vivyo hivyo.
34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
Na mkiwakopesha watu huku mkitumaini kupata kitu kwao, mwaonyesha fadhili gani? Hata wenye dhambi huwakopesha wenye dhambi, ili warudishiwe vile vile.
35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
Bali wapendeni adui zenu, tendeni mema, na kukopesha msitumaini kupata malipo, na thawabu yenu itakuwa nyingi; nanyi mtakuwa wana wa Aliye juu, kwa kuwa yeye ni mwema kwa wasiomshukuru, na waovu.
36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Basi, iweni na huruma, kama Baba yenu alivyo na huruma.
37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Msihukumu, nanyi hamtahukumiwa; msilaumu, nanyi hamtalaumiwa; achilieni, nanyi mtaachiliwa.
38 give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Wapeni watu vitu, nanyi mtapewa; kipimo cha kujaa na kushindiliwa, na kusukwa-sukwa hata kumwagika, ndicho watu watakachowapa vifuani mwenu. Kwa kuwa kipimo kile kile mpimacho ndicho mtakachopimiwa.
39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
Akawaambia mithali, Je! Aliye kipofu aweza kuongoza kipofu? Hawatatumbukia shimoni wote wawili?
40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
Mwanafunzi hawi mkuu kuliko mwalimu wake, lakini kila mtu ambaye amehitimu hulingana na mwalimu wake.
41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Basi, mbona wakitazama kibanzi kilicho ndani ya jicho la ndugu yako, na boriti iliyo ndani ya jicho lako mwenyewe huiangalii?
42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
Au, utawezaje kumwambia ndugu yako, Ndugu yangu, niache nikitoe kibanzi kilicho ndani ya jicho lako, nawe huiangalii boriti iliyo ndani ya jicho lako mwenyewe? Mnafiki wewe, itoe kwanza ile boriti katika jicho lako mwenyewe, ndipo utakapoona vema kukitoa kile kibanzi kilichomo katika jicho la ndugu yako.
43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Kwa maana hakuna mti mzuri uzaao matunda mabaya, wala mti mbaya uzaao matunda mazuri;
44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
kwa kuwa kila mti hutambulikana kwa matunda yake; maana, katika miiba hawachumi tini, wala katika michongoma hawachumi zabibu.
45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
Mtu mwema katika hazina njema ya moyo wake hutoa yaliyo mema, na mtu mwovu katika hazina mbovu ya moyo wake hutoa yaliyo maovu; kwa kuwa mtu, kinywa chake hunena yale yaujazayo moyo wake.
46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Na kwa nini mnaniita, Bwana, Bwana, walakini hamyatendi nisemayo?
47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
Kila mtu ajaye kwangu, na kuyasikia maneno yangu na kuyatenda, nitawaonyesha mfano wake.
48 he is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
Mfano wake ni mtu ajengaye nyumba, na kuchimba chini sana, na kuweka msingi juu ya mwamba; na kulipokuja gharika, mto uliishukia nyumba ile kwa nguvu, usiweze kuitikisa; kwa kuwa imejengwa vizuri.
49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
Lakini yule aliyesikia ila hakutenda, mfano wake ni mtu aliyejenga nyumba juu ya ardhi pasipokuwa na msingi, mto ukaishukia kwa nguvu, ikaanguka mara; na maangamizi yake nyumba ile yakawa makubwa.
