Luke 5
1 Then it came to passe, as the people preassed vpon him to heare the word of God, that he stoode by the lake of Gennesaret,
Siku moja Yesu alipokuwa amesimama karibu na Ziwa la Genesareti, watu wengi wakiwa wanasongana kumzunguka ili wapate kusikia neno la Mungu,
2 And sawe two shippes stand by the lakes side, but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nettes.
akaona mashua mbili ukingoni mwa ziwa, zikiwa zimeachwa hapo na wavuvi waliokuwa wanaosha nyavu zao.
3 And he entred into one of the ships, which was Simons, and required him that he would thrust off a litle from the land: and he sate downe, and taught the people out of the ship.
Akaingia katika mojawapo ya hizo mashua ambayo ilikuwa ya Simoni, akamwomba aisogeze ndani ya maji kidogo kutoka ufuoni. Kisha akaketi na kufundisha watu akiwa mle ndani ya mashua.
4 Now when he had left speaking, he sayd vnto Simon, Lanch out into the deepe, and let downe your nettes to make a draught.
Alipomaliza kunena, akamwambia Simoni, “Sasa peleka mashua hadi kilindini kisha mshushe nyavu zenu mkavue samaki.”
5 Then Simon answered, and sayd vnto him, Master, we haue trauailed sore all night, and haue taken nothing: neuerthelesse at thy worde I will let downe the net.
Simoni akamjibu, “Bwana, tumefanya kazi ya kuchosha usiku kucha na hatukuvua chochote. Lakini, kwa neno lako nitazishusha nyavu.”
6 And when they had so done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, so that their net brake.
Nao walipozishusha nyavu zao, wakavua samaki wengi sana, nyavu zao zikajaa zikaanza kukatika.
7 And they beckened to their parteners, which were in the other ship, that they shoulde come and helpe them, who came then, and filled both the ships, that they did sinke.
Wakawaashiria wavuvi wenzao kwenye ile mashua nyingine ili waje kuwasaidia. Wakaja, wakajaza mashua zote mbili samaki hata zikaanza kuzama.
8 Now when Simon Peter saw it, he fel down at Iesus knees, saying, Lord, go from me: for I am a sinfull man.
Simoni Petro alipoona haya yaliyotukia, alianguka miguuni mwa Yesu na kumwambia, “Bwana, ondoka kwangu. Mimi ni mtu mwenye dhambi!”
9 For he was vtterly astonied, and all that were with him, for the draught of fishes which they tooke.
Kwa kuwa yeye na wavuvi wenzake walikuwa wameshangazwa sana na wingi wa samaki waliokuwa wamepata.
10 And so was also Iames and Iohn the sonnes of Zebedeus, which were companions with Simon. Then Iesus sayde vnto Simon, Feare not: from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
Vivyo hivyo wenzake Simoni, yaani Yakobo na Yohana, wana wa Zebedayo, walishangazwa pia. Ndipo Yesu akamwambia Simoni, “Usiogope, tangu sasa utakuwa mvuvi wa watu.”
11 And when they had brought the ships to land, they forsooke all, and followed him.
Hivyo wakasogeza mashua zao mpaka ufuoni mwa bahari, wakaacha kila kitu na kumfuata.
12 Nowe it came to passe, as he was in a certaine citie, beholde, there was a man full of leprosie, and when he sawe Iesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me cleane.
Ikawa siku moja Yesu alipokuwa katika mji fulani, mtu mmoja mwenye ukoma mwili mzima akamjia. Alipomwona Yesu, alianguka chini mpaka uso wake ukagusa ardhi, akamsihi akisema, “Bwana, ukitaka, waweza kunitakasa.”
13 So he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will, be thou cleane. And immediately the leprosie departed from him.
Yesu akanyoosha mkono wake, akamgusa yule mtu, akamwambia, “Nataka. Takasika!” Na mara ukoma wake ukatakasika.
14 And he commanded him that hee should tell it no man: but Go, sayth he, and shew thy selfe to the Priest, and offer for thy clensing, as Moses hath commanded, for a witnes vnto them.
Yesu akamwagiza akisema, “Usimwambie mtu yeyote, bali nenda ukajionyeshe kwa kuhani na ukatoe sadaka alizoagiza Mose kwa utakaso wako, ili kuwa ushuhuda kwao.”
15 But so much more went there a fame abroad of him, and great multitudes came together to heare, and to be healed of him of their infirmities.
Lakini habari zake Yesu zikazidi sana kuenea kotekote kuliko wakati mwingine wowote. Makutano makubwa ya watu yalikuwa yakikusanyika ili kumsikiliza na kuponywa magonjwa yao.
16 But he kept himselfe apart in the wildernes, and prayed.
Lakini mara kwa mara Yesu alijitenga nao ili kwenda mahali pa faragha kuomba.
17 And it came to passe, on a certaine day, as he was teaching, that the Pharises and doctours of the Law sate by, which were come out of euery towne of Galile, and Iudea, and Hierusalem, and the power of the Lord was in him to heale them.
Siku moja Yesu alipokuwa akifundisha, Mafarisayo na walimu wa sheria, waliokuwa wametoka kila kijiji cha Galilaya na kutoka Uyahudi na Yerusalemu, walikuwa wameketi huko. Nao uweza wa Bwana ulikuwa juu yake kuponya wagonjwa.
18 Then beholde, men brought a man lying in a bed, which was taken with a palsie, and they sought meanes to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
Wakaja watu wamembeba mgonjwa aliyepooza kwenye mkeka. Wakajaribu kumwingiza ndani ili wamweke mbele ya Yesu.
19 And when they could not finde by what way they might bring him in, because of the preasse, they went vp on the house, and let him downe through the tyling, bed and all, in the middes before Iesus.
Walipokuwa hawawezi kufanya hivyo kwa sababu ya umati wa watu, wakapanda juu ya paa, wakaondoa baadhi ya matofali, wakamteremsha yule mgonjwa kwa mkeka wake hadi katikati ya ule umati pale mbele ya Yesu.
20 And when he sawe their faith, he sayd vnto him, Man, thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.
Yesu alipoiona imani yao, akamwambia yule mgonjwa, “Rafiki, dhambi zako zimesamehewa.”
21 Then the Scribes and the Pharises began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? who can forgiue sinnes, but God onely?
Mafarisayo na wale walimu wa sheria wakaanza kuuliza, “Ni nani mtu huyu anayesema maneno ya kukufuru? Ni nani awezaye kusamehe dhambi isipokuwa Mungu peke yake?”
22 But when Iesus perceiued their reasoning, he answered, and sayd vnto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
Yesu akijua mawazo yao akawauliza, “Kwa nini mnawaza hivyo mioyoni mwenu?
23 Whether is easier to say, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee, or to say, Rise and walke?
Je, ni lipi lililo rahisi zaidi, kumwambia, ‘Umesamehewa dhambi zako,’ au kusema, ‘Inuka, uende’?
24 But that ye may know that that Sonne of man hath authoritie to forgiue sinnes in earth, (he sayd vnto the sicke of the palsie) I say to thee, Arise: take vp thy bed, and goe to thine house.
Lakini ili mpate kujua kwamba Mwana wa Adamu anayo mamlaka duniani kusamehe dhambi…” Akamwambia yule aliyepooza, “Nakuambia, inuka, chukua mkeka wako, uende nyumbani kwako.”
25 And immediatly he rose vp before them, and tooke vp his bed whereon he lay, and departed to his owne house, praysing God.
Mara yule mtu aliyekuwa amepooza akasimama mbele yao wote, akachukua mkeka wake, akaenda zake nyumbani, huku akimtukuza Mungu.
26 And they were all amased, and praysed God, and were filled with feare, saying, Doutlesse we haue seene strange things to day.
Kila mmoja akashangaa na kumtukuza Mungu. Wakajawa na hofu ya Mungu, wakasema, “Leo tumeona mambo ya ajabu.”
27 And after that, he went foorth and sawe a Publicane named Leui, sitting at the receite of custome, and sayd vnto him, Follow me.
Baada ya haya, Yesu alitoka na kumwona mtoza ushuru mmoja jina lake Lawi akiwa amekaa forodhani, mahali pake pa kutoza ushuru. Akamwambia, “Nifuate.”
28 And he left all, rose vp, and folowed him.
Naye Lawi akaacha kila kitu, akaondoka, akamfuata.
29 Then Leui made him a great feast in his owne house, where there was a great company of Publicanes, and of other that sate at table with them.
Kisha Lawi akamfanyia Yesu karamu kubwa nyumbani kwake, nao umati mkubwa wa watoza ushuru na watu wengine walikuwa wakila pamoja nao.
30 But they that were Scribes and Pharises among them, murmured against his disciples, saying, Why eate ye and drinke ye with Publicanes and sinners?
Lakini Mafarisayo na walimu wa sheria waliokuwa wa dhehebu lao wakawalalamikia wanafunzi wa Yesu, wakisema, “Mbona mnakula na kunywa pamoja na watoza ushuru na ‘wenye dhambi’?”
31 Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, They that are whole, neede not the Physician, but they that are sicke.
Yesu akawajibu, “Wenye afya hawahitaji tabibu, bali walio wagonjwa.
32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Sikuja kuwaita wenye haki, bali wenye dhambi wapate kutubu.”
33 Then they said vnto him, Why do the disciples of Iohn fast often, and pray, and the disciples of the Pharises also, but thine eate and drinke?
Wakamwambia Yesu, “Wanafunzi wa Yohana na wa Mafarisayo mara kwa mara hufunga na kuomba, lakini wanafunzi wako wanaendelea kula na kunywa.”
34 And he said vnto them, Can ye make the children of the wedding chamber to fast, as long as the bridegrome is with them?
Yesu akawajibu, “Je, mnaweza kuwafanya wageni wa bwana arusi kufunga wakati yuko pamoja nao?
35 But the dayes will come, euen when the bridegrome shalbe taken away from them: then shall they fast in those dayes.
Lakini wakati utafika ambapo bwana arusi ataondolewa kwao. Hapo ndipo watakapofunga.”
36 Againe he spake also vnto them a parable, No man putteth a piece of a newe garment into an olde vesture: for then the newe renteth it, and the piece taken out of the newe, agreeth not with the olde.
Yesu akawapa mfano huu, akawaambia: “Hakuna mtu achanaye kiraka kutoka kwenye nguo mpya na kukishonea kwenye nguo iliyochakaa. Akifanya hivyo, atakuwa amechana nguo mpya, na kile kiraka hakitalingana na ile nguo iliyochakaa.
37 Also no man powreth newe wine into olde vessels: for then ye new wine wil breake the vessels, and it will runne out, and the vessels will perish:
Hakuna mtu awekaye divai mpya kwenye viriba vikuukuu. Akifanya hivyo, hiyo divai mpya itavipasua hivyo viriba, nayo yote itamwagika.
38 But newe wine must be powred into newe vessels: so both are preserued.
Divai mpya lazima iwekwe kwenye viriba vipya.
39 Also no man that drinketh olde wine, straightway desireth newe: for he sayth, The olde is more profitable.
Wala hakuna mtu anayependelea divai mpya baada ya kunywa divai ya zamani, bali husema, ‘Ile ya zamani ni nzuri zaidi.’”
