Forgives Sin
1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
Akapanda chomboni, akavuka, akafika mjini kwao.
2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
Na tazama, wakamletea mtu mwenye kupooza, amelala kitandani; naye Yesu, alipoiona imani yao, alimwambia yule mwenye kupooza, Jipe moyo mkuu, mwanangu, umesamehewa dhambi zako.
3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
Na tazama, baadhi ya waandishi wakasema nafsini mwao, Huyu anakufuru.
4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
Naye Yesu, hali akijua mawazo yao, akasema, Mbona mnawaza maovu mioyoni mwenu?
5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
Kwa maana rahisi ni lipi, ni kusema, Umesamehewa dhambi zako, au ni kusema, Ondoka, uende?
6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
Lakini mpate kujua ya kwamba Mwana wa Adamu anayo amri duniani ya kusamehe dhambi, (amwambia yule mwenye kupooza) Ondoka, ujitwike kitanda chako, uende nyumbani kwako.
7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
Akaondoka, akaenda zake nyumbani kwake.
8 But when the multitudes saw it , they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
Makutano walipomwona, walishikwa na hofu, wakamtukuza Mungu, aliyewapa watu amri ya namna hii.
Calls Publicans and Sinners
9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
Naye Yesu alipokuwa akipita kutoka huko aliona mtu ameketi forodhani, aitwaye Mathayo, akamwambia, Nifuate. Akaondoka, akamfuata.
10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
Ikawa alipoketi nyumbani ale chakula, tazama, watoza ushuru wengi na wenye dhambi walikuja wakaketi pamoja na Yesu na wanafunzi wake.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it , they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
Mafarisayo walipoona, waliwaambia wanafunzi wake, Mbona mwalimu wenu anakula pamoja na watoza ushuru na wenye dhambi?
12 But when Jesus heard that , he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
Naye aliposikia, aliwaambia, Wenye afya hawahitaji tabibu, bali walio hawawezi.
13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Lakini nendeni, mkajifunze maana yake maneno haya, Nataka rehema, wala si sadaka; kwa maana sikuja kuwaita wenye haki, bali wenye dhambi.
Signs of Change
14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
Wakati ule wanafunzi wake Yohana wakamwendea, wakasema, Kwa nini sisi na Mafarisayo twafunga, bali wanafunzi wako hawafungi?
15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast .
Yesu akawaambia, Walioalikwa arusini wawezaje kuomboleza, muda bwana arusi akiwapo pamoja nao? Lakini siku zitakuja watakapoondolewa bwana arusi; ndipo watakapofunga.
16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
Hakuna mtu atiaye kiraka cha nguo mpya katika vazi kuukuu; maana kile kilichotiwa huondoa kipande cha lile vazi, na pale palipotatuka huzidi.
17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
Wala watu hawatii divai mpya katika viriba vikuukuu; na kama wakitia, vile viriba hupasuka, divai ikamwagika, na viriba vikaharibika; bali hutia divai mpya katika viriba vipya, vikahifadhika vyote.
Signs of Faith
18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
Alipokuwa akiwaambia hayo, tazama, akaja jumbe mmoja, akamsujudia, akisema, Binti yangu sasa hivi amekufa; lakini njoo, uweke mkono wako juu yake, naye ataishi.
19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
Akaondoka Yesu, akamfuata, pamoja na wanafunzi wake.
20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him , and touched the hem of his garment:
Na tazama, mwanamke aliyekuwa na ugonjwa wa kutoka damu muda wa miaka kumi na miwili, alikuja kwa nyuma, akaugusa upindo wa vazi lake.
21 for she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
Kwa maana alisema moyoni mwake, Nikigusa tu upindo wa vazi lake nitapona.
22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
Yesu akageuka, akamwona, akamwambia, Jipe moyo mkuu, binti yangu; imani yako imekuponya. Yule mwanamke akapona tangu saa ile.
23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
Yesu alipofika nyumbani kwa yule jumbe, aliona wapiga filimbi, na makutano wakifanya maombolezo,
24 he said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
akawaambia, Ondokeni; kwa maana kijana hakufa, amelala tu. Wakamcheka sana.
25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
Lakini makutano walipoondoshwa, aliingia, akamshika mkono; yule kijana akasimama.
26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
Zikaenea habari hizi katika nchi ile yote.
27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.
Yesu alipokuwa akipita kutoka huko, vipofu wawili wakamfuata wakipaza sauti, wakisema, Uturehemu, Mwana wa Daudi.
28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
Naye alipofika nyumbani, wale vipofu walimwendea; Yesu akawaambia, Mnaamini kwamba naweza kufanya hili? Wakamwambia, Naam, Bwana.
29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
Ndipo alipowagusa macho, akasema, Kwa kadiri ya imani yenu mpate.
30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it .
Macho yao yakafumbuka. Naye Yesu akawaagiza kwa nguvu, akisema, Angalieni hata mtu mmoja asijue.
31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
Lakini wakatoka, wakaeneza habari zake katika nchi ile yote.
32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
Hata hao walipokuwa wakitoka, tazama, walimletea mtu bubu mwenye pepo.
33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
Na pepo alipotolewa, yule bubu alinena, makutano wakastajabu, wakasema, Haijaonekana hivi katika Israeli wakati wo wote.
34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
Lakini Mafarisayo wakasema, Kwa nguvu za mkuu wa pepo atoa pepo.
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
Naye Yesu alikuwa akizunguka katika miji yote na vijiji, akifundisha katika masinagogi yao, na kuihubiri habari njema ya ufalme, na kuponya magonjwa yote na udhaifu wa kila aina.
Jesus and His Apostles
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
Na alipowaona makutano, aliwahurumia, kwa sababu walikuwa wamechoka na kutawanyika kama kondoo wasio na mchungaji.
37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
Ndipo alipowaambia wanafunzi wake, Mavuno ni mengi, lakini watenda kazi ni wachache.
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Basi mwombeni Bwana wa mavuno, apeleke watenda kazi katika mavuno yake.
