Matthew 12
1 At that time Iesus went on a Sabbath day through ye corne, and his disciples were an hungred, and bega to plucke ye eares of corne and to eate.
Wakati huo Yesu alipitia kwenye mashamba ya nafaka siku ya Sabato. Wanafunzi wake walikuwa na njaa, nao wakaanza kuvunja masuke ya nafaka na kuyala.
2 And when the Pharises sawe it, they saide vnto him, Beholde, thy disciples doe that which is not lawfull to doe vpon the Sabbath.
Lakini Mafarisayo walipoona jambo hili, wakamwambia, “Tazama! Wanafunzi wako wanafanya jambo lisilo halali kufanywa siku ya Sabato.”
3 But he said vnto them, Haue ye not read what Dauid did when he was an hungred, and they that were with him?
Yesu akawajibu, “Je, hamjasoma alichofanya Daudi na wenzake walipokuwa na njaa?
4 Howe he entred into ye house of God, and did eate the shewe bread, which was not lawfull for him to eate, neither for them which were with him, but onely for the Priestes?
Aliingia katika nyumba ya Mungu, akala mikate iliyowekwa wakfu, yeye na wenzake, jambo ambalo halikuwa halali kwao kufanya, isipokuwa makuhani peke yao.
5 Or haue ye not read in the Lawe, how that on the Sabbath dayes the Priestes in the Temple breake the Sabbath, and are blameles?
Au hamjasoma katika Sheria kwamba siku ya Sabato makuhani huvunja sheria ya Sabato Hekaluni lakini hawahesabiwi kuwa na hatia?
6 But I say vnto you, that here is one greater then the Temple.
Nawaambia wazi kwamba, yeye aliye mkuu kuliko Hekalu yupo hapa.
7 Wherefore if ye knewe what this is, I will haue mercie, and not sacrifice, ye would not haue condemned the innocents.
Kama mngekuwa mmejua maana ya maneno haya, ‘Nataka rehema, wala si dhabihu,’ msingewalaumu watu wasio na hatia,
8 For the sonne of man is Lord, euen of the Sabbath.
kwa maana Mwana wa Adamu ndiye Bwana wa Sabato.”
9 And he departed thence, and went into their Synagogue:
Yesu akaondoka mahali hapo, akaingia ndani ya sinagogi lao,
10 And beholde, there was a man which had his hand dried vp. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawfull to heale vpon a Sabbath day? that they might accuse him.
na huko alikuwepo mtu aliyepooza mkono. Wakitafuta sababu ya kumshtaki Yesu, wakamuuliza, “Je, ni halali kuponya siku ya Sabato?”
11 And he said vnto the, What man shall there be among you, that hath a sheepe, and if it fal on a Sabbath day into a pit, doth not take it and lift it out?
Yesu akawaambia, “Ni nani miongoni mwenu, mwenye kondoo wake ambaye huyo kondoo akitumbukia shimoni siku ya Sabato hatamtoa?
12 How much more then is a man better then a sheepe? therefore, it is lawfull to doe well on a Sabbath day.
Mtu ana thamani kubwa kuliko kondoo. Kwa hiyo ni halali kutenda mema siku ya Sabato.”
13 Then said he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it foorth, and it was made whole as the other.
Ndipo akamwambia yule mtu, “Nyoosha mkono wako.” Akaunyoosha, nao ukaponywa ukawa mzima kama ule mwingine.
14 Then the Pharises went out, and consulted against him, howe they might destroy him.
Lakini Mafarisayo wakatoka nje, wakafanya shauri baya juu ya Yesu jinsi watakavyoweza kumuua.
15 But whe Iesus knew it, he departed thece, and great multitudes folowed him, and he healed the al,
Lakini Yesu alipoyatambua mawazo yao, akaondoka mahali hapo. Watu wengi wakamfuata, naye akawaponya wagonjwa wao wote,
16 And charged them in threatning wise, that they should not make him knowen,
akiwakataza wasiseme yeye ni nani.
17 That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by Esaias the Prophet, saying,
Hii ilikuwa ili litimie lile neno lililonenwa kwa kinywa cha nabii Isaya kusema:
18 Behold my seruant whom I haue chosen, my beloued in whom my soule deliteth: I wil put my Spirit on him, and he shall shewe iudgement to the Gentiles.
“Tazama mtumishi wangu niliyemchagua, mpendwa wangu, ninayependezwa naye. Nitaweka Roho wangu juu yake, naye atatangaza haki kwa mataifa.
19 He shall not striue, nor crie, neither shall any man heare his voyce in the streetes.
Hatagombana wala hatapiga kelele, wala hakuna atakayesikia sauti yake njiani.
20 A bruised reede shall he not breake, and smoking flaxe shall he not quenche, till he bring forth iudgement vnto victorie.
Mwanzi uliopondeka hatauvunja, na utambi unaofuka moshi hatauzima, mpaka atakapoifanya haki ishinde.
21 And in his Name shall the Gentiles trust.
Katika Jina lake mataifa wataweka tumaini lao.”
22 Then was brought to him one, possessed with a deuill, both blind, and dumme, and he healed him, so that he which was blind and dumme, both spake and saw.
Kisha wakamletea mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo mchafu, na alikuwa kipofu na bubu. Yesu akamponya, hata akaweza kusema na kuona.
23 And all the people were amased, and saide, Is not this that sonne of Dauid?
Watu wote wakashangaa na kusema, “Je, yawezekana huyu ndiye Mwana wa Daudi?”
24 But when the Pharises heard it, they saide, This man casteth the deuils no otherwise out, but through Beelzebub the prince of deuils.
Lakini Mafarisayo waliposikia jambo hili wakasema, “Mtu huyu anatoa pepo wachafu kwa uwezo wa Beelzebuli, mkuu wa pepo wachafu.”
25 But Iesus knew their thoughtes, and said to them, Euery kingdome deuided against it selfe, is brought to nought: and euery citie or house, deuided against it selfe, shall not stand.
Yesu alijua walichokuwa wakiwaza, hivyo akawaambia, “Kila ufalme ukigawanyika dhidi yake wenyewe huangamia. Hali kadhalika kila mji au watu wa nyumba moja waliogawanyika dhidi yao wenyewe hawawezi kusimama.
26 So if Satan cast out Satan, he is deuided against himself: how shall then his kingdom endure?
Kama Shetani akimtoa Shetani, atakuwa amegawanyika yeye mwenyewe. Basi ufalme wake utawezaje kusimama?
27 Also if I through Beelzebub cast out deuils, by whom doe your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your iudges.
Nami kama natoa pepo wachafu kwa nguvu za Beelzebuli, watu wenu je, wao hutoa pepo wachafu kwa uwezo wa nani? Hivyo basi, wao ndio watakaowahukumu.
28 But if I cast out deuils by ye Spirit of God, then is the kingdome of God come vnto you.
Lakini kama mimi ninatoa pepo wachafu kwa Roho wa Mungu, basi Ufalme wa Mungu umekuja juu yenu.
29 Els howe can a man enter into a strong mans house and spoyle his goods, except he first bind the strong man, and then spoile his house.
“Au tena, mtu awezaje kuingia katika nyumba ya mtu mwenye nguvu na kuteka nyara mali zake asipomfunga kwanza yule mwenye nguvu? Akishamfunga, ndipo hakika anaweza kuteka nyara mali zake.
30 He that is not with me, is against me: and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.
“Mtu asiyekuwa pamoja nami yu kinyume nami, na mtu ambaye hakusanyi pamoja nami, hutawanya.
31 Wherefore I say vnto you, euery sinne and blasphemie shalbe forgiuen vnto men: but the blasphemie against the holy Ghost shall not be forgiuen vnto men.
Kwa hiyo nawaambia, kila dhambi na kufuru watu watasamehewa, lakini mtu atakayemkufuru Roho Mtakatifu hatasamehewa.
32 And whosoeuer shall speake a word against the Sonne of man, it shall be forgiuen him: but whosoeuer shall speake against the holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiuen him, neither in this worlde, nor in the worlde to come. (aiōn g165)
Mtu yeyote atakayesema neno dhidi ya Mwana wa Adamu atasamehewa, lakini yeyote anenaye neno dhidi ya Roho Mtakatifu hatasamehewa, iwe katika ulimwengu huu au katika ulimwengu ujao. (aiōn g165)
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruite good: or els make the tree euill, and his fruite euil: for the tree is knowen by the fruite.
“Ufanye mti kuwa mzuri, nayo matunda yake yatakuwa mazuri. Au ufanye mti kuwa mbaya, na matunda yake yatakuwa mabaya. Kwa maana mti hutambulika kwa matunda yake.
34 O generations of vipers, howe can you speake good things, when ye are euill? For of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Enyi uzao wa nyoka! Mnawezaje kunena mambo mema, wakati ninyi ni waovu? Kwa maana kinywa cha mtu huyanena yale yaliyoujaza moyo wake.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth foorth good things: and an euill man out of an euill treasure, bringeth forth euill things.
Mtu mwema hutoa yaliyo mema kutoka hazina ya mambo mema yaliyohifadhiwa ndani yake, naye mtu mwovu hutoa yaliyo maovu kutoka hazina ya mambo maovu yaliyohifadhiwa ndani yake.
36 But I say vnto you, that of euery idle word that men shall speake, they shall giue account thereof at the day of iudgement.
Lakini nawaambia, katika siku ya hukumu watu watatoa hesabu kuhusu kila neno lisilo maana walilonena.
37 For by thy wordes thou shalt be iustified, and by thy wordes thou shalt be condemned.
Kwa maana kwa maneno yako utahesabiwa haki, na kwa maneno yako utahukumiwa.”
38 Then answered certaine of ye Scribes and of the Pharises, saying, Master, we would see a signe of thee.
Kisha baadhi ya Mafarisayo na walimu wa sheria wakamwambia, “Mwalimu, tunataka kuona ishara kutoka kwako.”
39 But he answered and said to them, An euill and adulterous generation seeketh a signe, but no signe shall be giuen vnto it, saue that signe of the Prophet Ionas.
Lakini yeye akawajibu, “Kizazi kiovu na cha uzinzi kinaomba ishara! Lakini hakitapewa ishara yoyote isipokuwa ile ishara ya nabii Yona.
40 For as Ionas was three daies and three nights in the whales belly: so shall the Sonne of man be three daies and three nights in ye heart of the earth.
Kwa maana kama vile Yona alivyokuwa ndani ya tumbo la nyangumikwa siku tatu, usiku na mchana, vivyo hivyo Mwana wa Adamu atakuwa katika moyo wa nchi siku tatu, usiku na mchana.
41 The men of Nineue shall rise in iudgement with this generation, and condemne it: for they repented at the preaching of Ionas: and behold, a greater then Ionas is here.
Siku ya hukumu watu wa Ninawi watasimama pamoja na kizazi hiki na kukihukumu; kwa maana wao walitubu waliposikia mahubiri ya Yona. Na tazama, hapa yupo yeye aliye mkuu kuliko Yona.
42 The Queene of the South shall rise in iudgement with this generation, and shall condemne it: for she came from the vtmost partes of the earth to heare the wisdome of Salomon: and beholde, a greater then Salomon is here.
Malkia wa Kusini atasimama wakati wa hukumu na kukihukumu kizazi hiki. Kwa kuwa yeye alikuja kutoka miisho ya dunia ili kuisikiliza hekima ya Solomoni. Na hapa yupo aliye mkuu kuliko Solomoni.”
43 Nowe when the vncleane spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh throughout drie places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
“Pepo mchafu amtokapo mtu, hutangatanga katika sehemu zisizo na maji akitafuta mahali pa kupumzika, lakini hapati.
44 Then he saith, I wil returne into mine house from whence I came: and when he is come, he findeth it emptie, swept and garnished.
Ndipo husema, ‘Nitarudi kwenye nyumba yangu nilikotoka.’ Naye arudipo huikuta ile nyumba ikiwa tupu, imefagiliwa na kupangwa vizuri.
45 Then he goeth, and taketh vnto him seuen other spirites worse then himselfe, and they enter in, and dwell there: and the ende of that man is worse then the beginning. Euen so shall it be with this wicked generation.
Kisha huenda na kuwaleta pepo wachafu wengine saba wabaya kuliko yeye mwenyewe, nao huingia na kukaa humo. Nayo hali ya mwisho ya yule mtu huwa ni mbaya kuliko ile ya kwanza. Ndivyo itakavyokuwa kwa kizazi hiki kiovu.”
46 While he yet spake to ye multitude, beholde, his mother, and his brethren stood without, desiring to speake with him.
Wakati alikuwa angali anazungumza na makutano, mama yake na ndugu zake wakasimama nje wakitaka kuongea naye.
47 Then one said vnto him, Beholde, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speake with thee.
Ndipo mtu mmoja akamwambia, “Tazama, mama yako na ndugu zako wamesimama nje, wanataka kuongea na wewe.”
48 But he answered, and said to him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
Lakini yeye akamjibu na kumwambia yule mtu, “Mama yangu ni nani, nao ndugu zangu ni nani?”
49 And he stretched foorth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Beholde my mother and my brethren.
Akawanyooshea mkono wanafunzi wake, akasema, “Hawa hapa ndio mama yangu na ndugu zangu!
50 For whosoeuer shall doe my Fathers will which is in heauen, the same is my brother and sister and mother.
Kwa maana yeyote afanyaye mapenzi ya Baba yangu wa mbinguni, huyo ndiye ndugu yangu, na dada yangu na mama yangu.”
