Luke 11
1 And so it was, that as he was praying in a certaine place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said vnto him, Lord, teache vs to pray, as Iohn also taught his disciples.
Ilitokea wakati Yesu alipokuwa anaomba mahali fulani, mmoja wa mwanafunzi wake alimwambia, “Bwana, tufundishe sisi kuomba kama Yohana alivyo wafundisha wanafunzi wake'.
2 And he said vnto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father, which art in heauen, halowed be thy Name: Thy kingdome come: Let thy will be done, euen in earth, as it is in heauen:
Yesu akawaambia, Msalipo, semeni, 'Baba, Jina lako litakazwe. Ufalme wako uje.
3 Our dayly bread giue vs for the day:
Utupe mkate wetu wa kila siku.
4 And forgiue vs our sinnes: for euen we forgiue euery man that is indetted to vs: And leade vs not into temptation: but deliuer vs from euill.
Utusamehe makosa yetu, kama nasi tunavyowasamehe wote waliotukosea. Usituongoze katika majaribu.”
5 Moreouer he said vnto them, Which of you shall haue a friende, and shall goe to him at midnight, and say vnto him, Friende, lende mee three loaues?
Yesu akawaambia, “Ni nani kwenu atakuwa na rafiki, ambaye atamuendea usiku, na kumwambia, Rafiki niazime mikate mitatu.
6 For a friende of mine is come out of the way to me, and I haue nothing to set before him:
Kwa sababu rafiki yangu amenijia sasa hivi kutoka safarini, nami sina cha kumuandalia.'
7 And hee within shoulde answere, and say, Trouble mee not: the doore is nowe shut, and my children are with mee in bed: I can not rise and giue them to thee.
Na yule aliyeko ndani akamjibu, usinitaabishe, Mlango umekwisha kufungwa, na watoto wangu, pamoja nami tumekwisha kulala kitandani. Siwezi kuamka na kukupa wewe mikate.
8 I say vnto you, Though he would not arise and giue him, because he is his friende, yet doubtlesse because of his importunitie, hee woulde rise, and giue him as many as he needed.
Nawaambia, japo kuwa haamki na kukupatia mikate kama rafiki yake, kwa sababu ya kuendelea kumgongea bila aibu, ataamka na kukupatia vipande vingi vya mikate kulingana na mahitaji yako.
9 And I say vnto you, Aske, and it shall be giuen you: seeke, and yee shall finde: knocke, and it shalbe opened vnto you.
Nami pia nawaambieni, Ombeni, nanyi mtapewa; tafuteni, nanyi mtapata, pigeni hodi nanyi mtafunguliwa.
10 For euery one that asketh, receiueth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shalbe opened.
Kwa kuwa kila mtu aombaye atapokea, na kila mtu atafutaye atapata, na kila mtu apigaye hodi, mlango utafunguliwa kwake.
11 If a sonne shall aske bread of any of you that is a father, will he giue him a stone? or if hee aske a fish, will he for a fish giue him a serpent?
Ni baba yupi miongoni mwenu, mwanaye akimuomba samaki atampa nyoka badala yake?
12 Or if hee aske an egge, will hee giue him a scorpion?
Au akimuomba yai atampa nge badala yake?
13 If yee then which are euill, can giue good giftes vnto your children, howe much more shall your heauenly Father giue the holy Ghost to them, that desire him?
Kwa hiyo, ikiwa ninyi mlio waovu mnajuwa kuwapa watoto wenu zawadi nzuri, je si zaidi sana Baba yenu wa mbinguni kwamba atawapa Roho Mtakatifu hao wamuombao?”
14 Then hee cast out a deuill which was domme: and when the deuill was gone out, the domme spake, and the people wondered.
Baadaye, Yesu akawa anakemea pepo, na mtu mwenye pepo alikuwa bubu. Ikawa pepo lilipomtoka, mtu huyo aliweza kuongea. Umati wakastaajabu sana.
15 But some of them said, He casteth out deuils through Beelzebub the chiefe of ye deuils.
Lakii watu wengine wakasema, huyu anaondo mapepo kwa Beelzebul, mkuu wa mapepo
16 And others tempted him, seeking of him a signe from heauen.
Wengine walimjaribu na kumtaka awaonyeshe ishara kutoka mbinguni.
17 But he knew their thoughts, and said vnto them, Euery kingdom deuided against it self, shall be desolate, and an house deuided against an house, falleth.
Lakini Yesu aliyatambua mawazo yao na kuwaambia, “Kila ufalme utakaogawanyika itakuwa ukiwa, na nyumba iliyo gawanyika itaanguka.
18 So if Satan also bee deuided against himselfe, howe shall his kingdome stande, because yee say that I cast out deuils through Beelzebub?
Kama Shetani atakuwa amegawanyika, ufalme wake utasimamaje? Kwa sababu mwasema natoa mapepo kwa Belzebuli
19 If I through Beelzebub cast out deuils, by whome doe your children cast them out? Therefore shall they be your iudges.
Kama mimi natoa mapepo kwa Belzebuli, je wenzenu wanatoa mapepo kwa njia gani? Kwa sababu hii, wao watawahukumu ninyi.
20 But if I by ye finger of God cast out deuils, doutles the kingdome of God is come vnto you.
Lakini, kama natoa mapepo kwa kidole cha Mungu, basi uflame wa Mungu umewajia.
21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, the thinges that hee possesseth, are in peace.
Mtu mwenye nguvu aliye na silaha akilinda nyumba yake, vitu vyake vitakaa salama.
22 But when a stronger then hee, commeth vpon him, and ouercommeth him: hee taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and deuideth his spoiles.
Lakini akivamiwa na mtu mwenye nguvu zaidi, Yule mtu mwenye nguvu atamnyang'anya silaha zake, na kuzichukua mali zake zote.
23 He that is not with me, is against me: and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.
Yeye asiye pamoja nami yuko kinyume nami, na yeye asiyekusanya pamoja nami hutapanya.
24 When the vncleane spirite is gone out of a man, he walketh through drie places, seeking rest: and when he findeth none he saieth, I wil returne vnto mine house whence I came out.
Pepo mchafu amtokapo mtu, huenda na kutafuta mahali pasipo na maji ili ajipumzishe. Atakapokuwa amekosa, husema, 'nitarudi nilipotoka.
25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
Akirudi na kukuta nyumba imefagiliwa na imekaa vizuri.
26 Then goeth hee, and taketh to him seuen other spirites worse then himselfe: and they enter in, and dwel there: so the last state of that man is worse then the first.
Hivyo huenda na kutafuta mapepo saba walio waovu kuliko yeye mwenyewe na kuwaleta waje wakae mahali pale. Na hali ya mtu huyo huwa mbaya kuliko ilivyokuwa mara ya kwanza.”
27 And it came to passe as he sayde these thinges, a certaine woman of the companie lifted vp her voyce, and sayde vnto him, Blessed is the wombe that bare thee, and the pappes which thou hast sucked.
Ilitokea kwamba alipokuwa akisema maneno hayo, mwanamke fulani alipasa sauti yake zaidi ya wote kwanye mkutano wa watu na kusema “Limebarikiwa tumbo lililo kuzaa na matiti uliyoyanyonya”
28 But hee saide, Yea, rather blessed are they that heare the woorde of God, and keepe it.
Lakini yeye akasema, wamebarikiwa wale wasikio neno la Mungu na kulitunza.
29 And when the people were gathered thicke together, he began to say, This is a wicked generation: they seeke a signe, and there shall no signe be giuen them, but the signe of Ionas the Prophet.
Wakati umati wa watu wanakusanyika na kuongezeka, Yesu akaanza kusema “Kizazi hiki ni kizazi cha uovu. Hutafuta ishara, na hakuna ishara watayopewa zaidi ya ile ishara ya Yona.
30 For as Ionas was a signe to the Niniuites: so shall also the Sonne of man bee to this generation.
Maana kama Yona alivyokuwa ishara kwa watu wa Ninawi, ndivyo na Mwana wa Adamu atakavyokuwa ishara kwa kizazi hiki
31 The Queene of the South shall rise in iudgement, with the men of this generation, and shall condemne them: for shee came from the vtmost partes of the earth to heare the wisedome of Salomon, and beholde, a greater then Salomon is here.
Malkia wa Kusini atasimama siku ya hukumu na watu wa kizazi hiki na kuwahukumu wao, kwani yeye alitoka katika mwisho wa nchi ili aje asikilize hekima za Solomoni, na hapa yuko aliye mkuu kuliko Solomoni.
32 The men of Niniue shall rise in iudgement with this generation, and shall condemne it: for they repented at the preaching of Ionas: and beholde, a greater then Ionas is here.
Watu wa Ninawi watasimama katika hukumu pamoja na watu wa kizazi hiki siku ya hukumu watakihukumu, kwani wao walitubu kwa mahubiri ya Yona, na tazama, hapa yuko aliye mkuu kuliko Yona.
33 No man when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a priuie place, neither vnder a bushell: but on a candlesticke, that they which come in, may see the light.
Hakuna Mtu yeyote, awashaye taa na kuiweka sehemu ya chini yenye giza isiyoonekana au chini ya kikapu, ila huwasha na kuweka juu ya kitu ili kila mtu aingiaye aweze kuona mwanga.
34 The light of the bodie is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, then is thy whole bodie light: but if thine eye be euill, then thy bodie is darke.
Jicho lako ni taa ya mwili. Jicho lako likiwa zuri basi mwili wako wote utakuwa kwenye mwanga. Lakini jicho lako likiwa baya basi mwili wako wote utakuwa kwenye giza.
35 Take heede therefore, that the light which is in thee, be not darkenesse.
Kwa hiyo, mjihadhari ili mwanga ulio ndani yenu usitiwe giza.
36 If therefore thy whole body shall be light, hauing no part darke, then shall all be light, euen as when a candle doth light thee with the brightnesse.
Hivyo basi, kama mwili wako wote uko kwenye mwanga, na hakuna sehemu iliyo katika giza, basi mwili wako utakuwa sawa na taa iwakayo na kutoa mwanga kwenu.”
37 And as hee spake, a certaine Pharise besought him to dine with him: and hee went in, and sate downe at table.
Alipomaliza kuongea, Farisayo alimwalika akale chakula nyumbani kwake, naye Yesu akaingia ndani na kuwa pamoja nao.
38 And when the Pharise saw it, he marueiled that he had not first washed before dinner.
Na Mafarisayo wakashangaa kwa jinsi ambavyo hakunawa kwanza kabla ya chakula cha jioni.
39 And the Lord saide to him, In deede yee Pharises make cleane the outside of the cuppe, and of the platter: but the inwarde part is full of rauening and wickednesse.
Lakini Bwana akawaambia, “Ninyi Mafarisayo mnaosha nje ya vikombe na bakuli, lakini ndani yenu mmejaa tamaa na uovu.
40 Ye fooles, did not he that made that which is without, make that which is within also?
Ninyi watu msio na ufahamu, Je yeye aliyeumba nje hakuumba na ndani pia?
41 Therefore, giue almes of those thinges which you haue, and beholde, all thinges shall be cleane to you.
Wapeni masikini yaliyo ndani, na mambo yote yatakuwa safi kwenu.
42 But wo be to you, Pharises: for ye tithe the mynt and the rewe, and all maner herbs, and passe ouer iudgement and the loue of God: these ought yee to haue done, and not to haue left the other vndone.
Lakini ole wenu Mafarisayo, kwani mnatoa zaka ya mnanaa na mchicha na kila aina ya mboga ya bustani. Lakini mmeacha mambo ya haki na kumpenda Mungu. Ni muhimu zaidi kufanya yaliyo ya haki na kumpenda Mungu, bila kuacha kufanya na hayo mengine pia.
43 Wo be to you, Pharises: for ye loue the vppermost seats in the Synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
Ole wenu Mafarisayo, kwa kuwa mnapenda kukaa katika viti vya mbele kwenye masinagogi na kuamkiwa kwa salamu za heshima sokoni.
44 Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye are as graues which appeare not, and the men that walke ouer them, perceiue not.
Ole wenu, kwani mnafanana na makaburi yasiyo na alama ambayo watu hutembea juu yake pasipokujua.”
45 Then answered one of the Lawyers, and saide vnto him, Master, thus saying thou puttest vs to rebuke also.
Mwalimu mmoja wa sheria za Kiyahudi akamjibu na kumwambia, “Mwalimu, unachokisema kinatuudhi pia sisi.”
46 And he sayde, Wo be to you also, yee Lawyers: for yee lade men with burdens grieuous to be borne, and yee your selues touche not the burdens with one of your fingers.
Yesu akasema, “Ole wenu, waalimu wa sheria! kwani mnawapa watu mizigo mikubwa wasiyoweza kuibeba, walakini ninyi hamgusi mizigo hiyo hata kwa moja ya vidole vyenu.
47 Wo be to you: for ye builde the sepulchres of the Prophetes, and your fathers killed them.
Ole wenu, kwa sababu mnajenga na kuweka kumbukumbu kwenye makaburi ya manabii' ambao waliuwawa na mababu zenu.
48 Truely ye beare witnesse, and allowe the deedes of your fathers: for they killed them, and yee build their sepulchres.
Hivyo ninyi mwashuhudia na kukubaliana na kazi walizozifanya mababu zenu, kwa sababu hakika waliwauwa manabii ambao mnajenga kumbukumbu katika makaburi yao.
49 Therefore said the wisedome of God, I wil sende them Prophets and Apostles, and of them they shall slaie, and persecute away,
Kwa sababu hiyo pia, hekima ya Mungu inasema, 'Nitawatumia manabii na mitume nao watawatesa na kuwaua baadhi yao.
50 That the blood of all the Prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,
Kizazi hiki kitawajibika kwa damu ya manabii waliouawa tangu kuanza kwa dunia,
51 From the blood of Abel vnto the blood of Zacharias, which was slaine betweene the altar and the Temple: verely I say vnto you, it shall be required of this generation.
Kutoka damu ya Abeli hadi damu ya Zakaria, aliyeuawa katikati ya madhabahu na patakatifu. Ndiyo, nawaambia ninyi, kizazi hiki kitawajibika.
52 Wo be to you, Lawyers: for ye haue taken away the key of knowledge: ye entred not in your selues, and them that came in, ye forbade.
Ole wenu waalimu wa sheria za Kiyahudi, kwa sababu mmechukua funguo za ufahamu; nyie wenyewe hamuingii, na wale wanaotaka kuingia mnawazuia.”
53 And as he sayde these things vnto them, the Scribes and Pharises began to vrge him sore, and to prouoke him to speake of many things,
Baada ya Yesu kuondoka pale, Waandishi na Mafarisayo walimpinga na kubishana naye juu ya mambo mengi.
54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catche some thing of his mouth, whereby they might accuse him.
wakijaribu kumnsana kwa maneno yake.
