Luke 13
1 There were certaine men present at the same season, that shewed him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
Wakati huo watu fulani walikuja, wakamweleza Yesu juu ya watu wa Galilaya ambao Pilato alikuwa amewaua wakati walipokuwa wanachinja wanyama wao wa tambiko.
2 And Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Suppose ye, that these Galileans were greater sinners then al the other Galileans, because they haue suffered such things?
Naye Yesu akawaambia, “Mnadhani Wagalilaya hao walikuwa wahalifu zaidi kuliko Wagalilaya wengine, ati kwa sababu wameteseka hivyo?
3 I tell you, nay: but except ye amend your liues, ye shall all likewise perish.
Nawaambieni hakika sivyo; lakini nanyi, hali kadhalika, msipotubu, mtaangamia kama wao.
4 Or thinke you that those eighteene, vpon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slewe them, were sinners aboue all men that dwel in Hierusalem?
Au wale kumi na wanane walioangukiwa na mnara kule Siloamu wakafa; mnadhani wao walikuwa wakosefu zaidi kuliko wengine wote walioishi Yerusalemu?
5 I tell you, nay: but except ye amend your liues, ye shall all likewise perish.
Nawaambieni sivyo; lakini nanyi msipotubu, mtaangamia kama wao.”
6 He spake also this parable, A certaine man had a figge tree planted in his vineyard: and he came and sought fruite thereon, and found none.
Kisha, Yesu akawaambia mfano huu: “Mtu mmoja alikuwa na mtini katika shamba lake. Mtu huyu akaenda akitaka kuchuma matunda yake, lakini akaukuta haujazaa hata tunda moja.
7 Then said he to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, this three yeeres haue I come and sought fruite of this figge tree, and finde none: cut it downe: why keepeth it also the ground barren?
Basi, akamwambia mfanyakazi wake: Angalia! Kwa miaka mitatu nimekuwa nikija kuchuma matunda ya mtini huu, nami nisiambulie kitu. Ukate! Kwa nini uitumie ardhi bure?
8 And he answered, and said vnto him, Lord, let it alone this yeere also, till I digge round about it, and doung it.
Lakini naye akamjibu: Bwana, tuuache tena mwaka huu; nitauzungushia mtaro na kuutilia mbolea.
9 And if it beare fruite, well: if not, then after thou shalt cut it downe.
Kama ukizaa matunda mwaka ujao, vema; la sivyo, basi utaweza kuukata.”
10 And he taught in one of ye Synagogues on the Sabbath day.
Yesu alikuwa akifundisha katika sunagogi moja siku ya Sabato.
11 And behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmitie eighteene yeeres, and was bowed together, and coulde not lift vp her selfe in any wise.
Na hapo palikuwa na mwanamke mmoja aliyekuwa mgonjwa kwa miaka kumi na minane kutokana na pepo aliyekuwa amempagaa. Kwa sababu hiyo, mwili wake ulikuwa umepindika vibaya hata asiweze kusimama wima.
12 When Iesus sawe her, he called her to him, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thy disease.
Yesu alipomwona, alimwita, akamwambia, “Mama, umeponywa ugonjwa wako.”
13 And he laide his handes on her, and immediately she was made straight againe, and glorified God.
Akamwekea mikono, na mara mwili wake ukawa wima tena, akawa anamtukuza Mungu.
14 And the ruler of the Synagogue answered with indignation, because that Iesus healed on the Sabbath day, and said vnto the people, There are sixe dayes in which men ought to worke: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.
Lakini mkuu wa sunagogi alikasirika kwa sababu Yesu alikuwa amemponya siku ya Sabato. Hivyo akawaambia wale watu walikusanyika pale, “Mnazo siku sita za kufanya kazi. Basi, fikeni siku hizo mkaponywe magonjwa yenu; lakini msije siku ya Sabato.”
15 Then answered him the Lord, and said, Hypocrite, doth not eche one of you on the Sabbath day loose his oxe or his asse from the stall, and leade him away to the water?
Hapo Bwana akamjibu, “Enyi wanafiki! Nani kati yenu hangemfungua ng'ombe au punda wake kutoka zizini ampeleke kunywa maji, hata kama siku hiyo ni ya Sabato?
16 And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, loe, eighteene yeeres, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?
Sasa, hapa yupo binti wa Abrahamu ambaye Shetani alimfanya kilema kwa muda wa miaka kumi na minane. Je, haikuwa vizuri kumfungulia vifungo vyake siku ya Sabato?”
17 And when he said these things, all his aduersaries were ashamed: but all the people reioyced at all the excellent things, that were done by him.
Alipokwisha sema hayo, wapinzani wake waliona aibu lakini watu wengine wote wakajaa furaha kwa sababu ya mambo yote aliyotenda.
18 Then said he, What is the kingdome of God like? or whereto shall I compare it?
Yesu akauliza: “Ufalme wa Mungu unafanana na nini? Nitaulinganisha na nini?
19 It is like a graine of mustard seede, which a man tooke and sowed in his garden, and it grewe, and waxed a great tree, and the foules of the heauen made nestes in the branches thereof.
NI kama mbegu ya haradali aliyotwaa mtu mmoja na kuipanda shambani mwake; ikaota hata ikawa mti. Ndege wa angani wakajenga viota vyao katika matawi yake.”
20 And againe he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdome of God?
Tena akauliza: “Nitaulinganisha Ufalme wa Mungu na nini?
21 It is like leauen, which a woman tooke, and hid in three peckes of floure, till all was leauened.
Ni kama chachu aliyoitwaa mama mmoja na kuichanganya pamoja na unga debe moja kisha unga wote ukaumuka wote.”
22 And he went through all cities and townes, teaching, and iourneying towards Hierusalem.
Yesu alindelea na safari yake kwenda Yerusalemu huku akipitia mijini na vijijini, akihubiri.
23 Then saide one vnto him, Lord, are there fewe that shalbe saued? And he said vnto them,
Mtu mmoja akamwuliza, “Je, Mwalimu, watu watakaookoka ni wachache?”
24 Striue to enter in at the straite gate: for many, I say vnto you, will seeke to enter in, and shall not be able.
Yesu akawaambia, “Jitahidini kuingia kwa kupitia mlango mwembamba; maana nawaambieni, wengi watajaribu kuingia lakini hawataweza.
25 When the good man of the house is risen vp, and hath shut to the doore, and ye begin to stand without, and to knocke at the doore, saying, Lord, Lord, open to vs, and he shall answere and say vnto you, I know you not whence ye are,
“Wakati utakuja ambapo mwenye nyumba atainuka na kufunga mlango. Ninyi mtasimama nje na kuanza kupiga hodi mkisema: Bwana, tufungulie mlango. Lakini yeye atawajibu: Sijui mmetoka wapi.
26 Then shall ye begin to say, We haue eaten and drunke in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streetes.
Nanyi mtaanza kumwambia: Sisi ndio wale tuliokula na kunywa pamoja nawe; na wewe ulifundisha katika vijiji vyetu.
27 But he shall say, I tell you, I knowe you not whence ye are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquitie.
Lakini yeye atasema: Sijui ninyi mmetoka wapi; ondokeni mbele yangu, enyi nyote watenda maovu.
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth when ye shall see Abraham and Isaac, and Iacob, and all the Prophets in the kingdome of God, and your selues thrust out at doores.
Ndipo mtakuwa na kulia na kusaga meno, wakati mtakapowaona Abrahamu, Isaka na Yakobo, na manabii wote wapo katika Ufalme wa Mungu, lakini ninyi wenyewe mmetupwa nje!
29 Then shall come many from the East, and from the West, and from the North, and from the South, and shall sit at Table in the kingdome of God.
Watu watakuja kutoka mashariki na magharibi, kutoka kaskazini na kusini, watakuja na kukaa kwenye karamu katika Ufalme wa Mungu.
30 And beholde, there are last, which shalbe first, and there are first, which shalbe last.
Naam, wale walio wa mwisho watakuwa wa kwanza; na wale walio wa kwanza watakuwa wa mwisho.”
31 The same day there came certaine Pharises, and said vnto him, Depart, and goe hence: for Herod will kill thee.
Wakati huohuo, Mafarisayo na watu wengine walimwendea Yesu wakamwambia, “Ondoka hapa uende mahali pengine, kwa maana Herode anataka kukuua.”
32 Then said he vnto them, Goe ye and tell that foxe, Beholde, I cast out deuils, and will heale still to day, and to morowe, and the third day I shalbe perfected.
Yesu akawajibu, “Nendeni mkamwambie huyo mbweha hivi: Leo na kesho ninafukuza pepo na kuponya wagonjwa, na siku ya tatu nitakamilisha kazi yangu.
33 Neuerthelesse I must walke to day, and to morowe, and the day following: for it cannot be that a Prophet should perish out of Hierusalem.
Hata hivyo, kwa leo, kesho na kesho kutwa, ni lazima niendelee na safari yangu, kwa sababu si sawa nabii auawe nje ya Yerusalemu.
34 O Hierusalem, Hierusalem, which killest the Prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee, howe often would I haue gathered thy children together, as the henne gathereth her brood vnder her wings, and ye would not!
“Yerusalemu! We Yerusalemu! Unawaua manabii na kuwapiga mawe wale waliotumwa kwako! Mara ngapi nimetaka kuwakusanya watoto wako pamoja kama kuku anavyokusanya vifaranga vyake chini ya mabawa yake, Lakini wewe umekataa.
35 Beholde, your house is left vnto you desolate: and verely I tell you, ye shall not see me vntill the time come that ye shall say, Blessed is he that commeth in the Name of the Lord.
Haya, utaachiwa mwenyewe nyumba yako. Naam, hakika nawaambieni, hamtaniona mpaka wakati utakapofika mseme: Abarikiwe huyo ajaye kwa jina la Bwana.”
