Luke 6
1 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he was going through grain-fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of grain, and ate them, rubbing them with their hands.
Sasa ilitokea kwenye Sabato kwamba Yesu alikuwa akipita katika ya shamba la nafaka na wanafunzi wake walikuwa wakichuma masuke, wakayasuguasugua kati ya mikono yao wakala nafaka.
2 And some of the Pharisees said, Why are ye doing that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath?
Lakini baadhi ya Mafarisayo wakasema, “Kwa nini mnafanya kitu ambacho si halali kisheria kukifanya siku ya sabato”?
3 And Jesus answering them, said, Have ye not even read what David did, when he was himself hungry, and they who were with him?
Yesu, akawajibu, akisema, “Hamkuwahi kusoma kile Daudi alifanya alipokuwa na njaa, yeye na wanaume waliokuwa pamoja naye?
4 how he went into the house of God, and took and ate the show-bread, and gave it also to those who were with him, which it is not lawful for any to eat but the priests alone?
Alikwenda katika nyumba ya Mungu, na akachukuwa mikate mitakatifu na kuila baadhi, na kuitoa baadhi kwa watu aliokuwa nao kuila, hatakama ilikuwa halali kwa makuhani kuila.”
5 And he said to them, The Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.
Kisha akawaambia, “Mwana wa Adamu ni Bwana wa Sabato.”
6 And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue, and taught; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.
Ilitokea katika Sabato nyingine kwamba alikwenda ndani ya sinagogi na kuwafundisha watu huko. Palikuwa na mtu ambaye mkono wake wa kulia ulikuwa umepooza.
7 And the scribes and the Pharisees were watching whether he would heal on the sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.
Waandishi na Mafarisayo walikuwa wanamwangalia kwa makini kuona kama angemponya mtu siku ya Sabato, ili waweze kupata sababu ya kumshtaki kwa kufanya kosa.
8 But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man having the withered hand, Rise, and stand up in the midst. And he arose, and stood up.
Lakini alijua nini walikuwa wanafikiri na akasema kwa mtu aliyekuwa amepooza mkono, “Amka, simama hapa katikati ya kila mmoja.” Hivyo huyo mtu akanyanyuka na kusimama pale.
9 And Jesus said to them, I ask you whether it is lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do evil; to save life, or to kill?
Yesu akasema kwao, “Nawauliza ninyi, ni halali siku ya Sabato kufanya mema au kufanya madhara, kuokoa maisha au kuyaharibu?” Kisha aliwaangalia wote na kumwambia yule mtu,
10 And looking round on them all, he said to him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so; and his hand was restored.
“Nyoosha mkono wako.” Akafanya hivyo, na mkono wake ulikuwa umeponywa.
11 But they were filled with madness, and conferred with one another as to what they should do to Jesus.
Lakini walijawa na hasira, wakaongeleshana wao kwa wao kuhusu nini wanapaswa wafanye kwa Yesu.
12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into the mountain to pray; and he continued all night in prayer to God.
Ilitokea siku hizo kwamba alikwenda mlimani kuomba. Aliendelea usiku mzima kumuomba Mungu.
13 And when it was day, he called to him his disciples; and he chose from them twelve, whom he also named apostles;
Ilipokuwa asubuhi, aliwaita wanafunzi wake kwake, na akawachagua kumi na wawili kati yao, ambao pia aliwaita “mitume.”
14 Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,
Majina ya wale mitume yalikuwa Simoni (ambaye pia alimwita Petro) na Andrea ndugu yake, Yakobo, Yohana, Filipo, Bartolomayo,
15 and Matthew and Thomas, and James the Son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the zealot,
Mathayo, Tomaso na Yakobo mwana wa Alfayo, Simoni, ambaye aliitwa Zelote,
16 and Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
Yuda mwana Yakobo na Yuda Iskariote, ambaye alikuwa msaliti msaliti.
17 And he came down with them, and stood on a level place with a great multitude of his disciples, and a great crowd of the people from all Judaea and Jerusalem and the sea-coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases.
Kisha Yesu alitelemka pamoja nao toka mlimani na kusimama mahali tambarare. Idadi kubwa ya wanafunzi wake walikuwa huko, pamoja na idadi kubwa ya watu kutoka Uyahudi na Yerusalemu, na kutoka pwani ya Tiro na Sidoni.
18 And they that were harassed with unclean spirits were cured.
Walikuja kumsikiliza na kuponywa magonjwa yao. Watu waliokuwa wakisumbuliwa na pepo wachafu waliponywa pia.
19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him, because power went out of him and healed all.
Kila mmoja kwenye hilo kusanyiko alijaribu kumgusa kwa sababu nguvu za uponyaji zilikuwa zikitokea ndani yake, na aliwaponya wote.
20 And raising his eyes toward his disciples, he said, Blessed are ye poor; for yours is the kingdom of God.
Kisha akawaangalia wanafunzi wake, na kusema, “Mmebarikiwa ninyi mlio maskini, kwa maana ufalme wa Mungu ni wenu.
21 Blessed are ye that hunger now; for ye will be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now; for ye will laugh.
Mmebarikiwa ninyi mlio na njaa sasa, kwa maana mtashibishwa. Mmebarikiwa ninyi mliao sasa, kwa maana mtacheka.
22 Blessed are ye when men hate you, and when they exclude you, and revile and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of man.
Mmebarikiwa ninyi ambao watu watakapowachukia na kuwatenga na kuwashutumu ninyi kwamba ni waovu, kwa ajili ya Mwana Adamu.
23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy; for lo! your reward is great in heaven; for thus their fathers did to the prophets.
Furahini katika siku hiyo na kurukaruka kwa furaha, kwa sababu hakika mtakuwa na thawabu kubwa mbinguni, kwa maana baba zao waliwatendea vivyohivyo manabii.
24 But woe to you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
Lakini ole wenu mlio matajiri! Kwa maana mmekwisha pata faraja yenu.
25 Woe to you that are full now! for ye will hunger. Woe to you that laugh now! for ye will mourn and weep.
Ole wenu mlio shiba sasa! Kwa maana mtaona njaa baadaye. Ole wenu mnaocheka sasa! Kwa maana mtaomboleza na kulia baadaye.
26 Woe, when all men speak well of you! for so did their fathers of the false prophets.
Ole wenu, mtakaposifiwa na watu wote! Kwa maana baba zao waliwatendea manabii wa uongo vivyohivyo.
27 But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies; do good to those who hate you;
Lakini nasema kwenu ninyi mnaonisikiliza, wapendeni adui zenu na kufanya mema kwa wanao wachukieni.
28 bless those who curse you; pray for those who are spiteful to you.
Wabarikini wale wanao walaani ninyi na waombeeni wale wanaowaonea.
29 To him that smiteth thee on one cheek, offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also.
Kwake yeye akupigaye shavu moja, mgeuzie na la pili. Kama mtu akikunyang'anya joho lako usimzuilie na kanzu.
30 Give to every one that asketh of thee; and from him that taketh away thy goods, demand them not again.
Mpe kila akuombaye. Kama mtu akikunyang'anya kitu ambacho ni mali yako, usimuombe akurudishie.
31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also in like manner to them.
Kama mpendavyo watu wawatendee, nanyi watendeeni vivyo hivyo.
32 And if ye love those who love you, what thanks do ye deserve? for sinners also love those who love them.
Kama mkiwapenda watu wawapendao ninyi tu, hiyo ni thawabu gani kwenu? Kwamaana hata wenye dhambi huwapenda wale wawapendao.
33 For if ye do good to those who do good to you, what thanks do ye deserve? even sinners do the same.
Kama mkiwatendea mema wale wanaowatendea ninyi mema, hiyo ni thawabu gani kwenu? Kwa maana hata wenye dhambi hufanya vivyo hivyo.
34 And if ye lend to those from whom ye expect to receive, what thanks do ye deserve? even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much in return.
Kama mkikopesha vitu kwa watu ambao mnategemea watawarudishia, hiyo ni thawabu gani kwenu? Hata wenye dhambi huwakopesha wenye dhambi, na hutegemea kupokea kiasi hicho hicho tena.
35 But love your enemies, and do good and lend, despairing of no one; and your reward will be great, and ye will be sons of the Most High; for he is kind to the unthankful and wicked.
Lakini wapendeni adui zenu na watendeeni mema. Wakopesheni na msihofu kuhusu kurudishiwa, na thawabu yenu itakuwa kubwa. Mtakuwa wana wa Aliye Juu, kwasababu yeye mwenyewe ni mwema kwa watu wasio na shukurani na waovu.
36 Be merciful, as your Father is merciful.
Iweni na huruma, kama Baba yenu alivyo na huruma.
37 And judge not, and ye will not be judged; and condemn not, and ye will not be condemned; forgive, and ye will be forgiven;
Msihukumu, nanyi hamta hukumiwa. Msilaani, nanyi hamtalaaniwa. Sameheni wengine, nanyi mtasamehewa.
38 give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will men give into your bosom; for with what measure ye mete, it will be measured to you in return.
Wapeni wengine, nanyi mtapewa. Kiasi cha ukarimu - kilichoshindiliwa, kusukwasukwa na kumwagika - kitamwagika magotini penu. Kwa sababu kwa kipimo chochote mnachotumia kupimia, kipimo hicho hicho kitatumika kuwapimia ninyi.”
39 And he spoke also a parable to them: Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a ditch?
Kisha akawaambia mfano pia. “Je mtu aliye kipofu aweza kumwongoza mtu mwingine kipofu? Kama alifanya hivyo, basi wote wangalitumbukia shimoni, je wasingetumbukia?
40 A disciple is not above his teacher; but every one when fully instructed will be as his teacher.
Mwanafunzi hawi mkubwa kuliko mwalimu wake, lakini kila mtu akiisha kufundishwa kwa ukamilifu atakuwa kama mwalimu wake.
41 And why dost thou look at the mote in thy brother's eye, and not perceive the beam that is in thine own eye?
Na kwa nini basi wakitazama kibanzi kilicho ndani ya jicho la ndugu yako, na boriti lililo ndani ya jicho lako huliangalii?
42 How canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me take out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself perceivest not the beam in thine own eye? Hypocrite! first cast the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou wilt see clearly to take out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
Utawezaje kumwambia ndugu yako, 'Ndugu, naomba nikitoe kibanzi kilicho ndani ya jicho lako,' nawe huangalii boriti iliyo katika jicho lako mwenyewe? Mnafiki wewe! Kwanza itoe boriti katika jicho lako mwenyewe, ndipo utaona vizuri kutoa kibanzi katika jicho la ndugu yako.
43 For there is no good tree that beareth bad fruit; and again, there is no bad tree that beareth good fruit.
Kwa sababu hakuna mti mzuri uzaao matunda mabaya, wala hakuna mti mbaya uzaao matunda mazuri.
44 For every tree is known by its own fruit; for from thorns men do not gather figs, nor from a bramble-bush do they gather grapes.
Kwa sababu kila mti hutambulika kwa matunda yake. Kwa sababu watu hawachumi tini kutoka kwenye miba, wala hawachumi zabibu kutoka kwenye michongoma.
45 The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil; for out of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaketh.
Mtu mwema katika hazina njema ya moyo wake hutoa yaliyo mema, na mtu mwovu katika hazina mbovu ya moyo wake hutoa yaliyo maovu. Kwa sababu kinywa chake husema yale yaujazayo moyo wake.
46 But why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Kwanini mnaniita, 'Bwana, Bwana', na bado hamyatendi yale nisemayo?
47 Every one that cometh to me and heareth my sayings and doeth them, I will show you whom he is like.
Kila mtu ajaye kwangu na kuyasikia maneno yangu na kuyatendea kazi, nitawaonyesha jinsi alivyo.
48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep, and laid its foundation on a rock; and when a flood arose, the stream dashed against that house, and could not shake it; because it was well built.
Anafanana na mtu ajengae nyumba yake, ambaye huchimba chini sana, na kujenga msingi wa nyumba juu ya mwamba imara. Mafuriko yalipokuja, maporomoko ya maji yaliipiga nyumba, lakini hayakuweza kuitikisa, kwa sababu ilikuwa imejengwa vizuri.
49 But he that heareth and doeth not, is like a man that built a house upon the earth without a foundation; against which the stream dashed, and it fell at once, and the ruin of that house was great.
Lakini yeyote asikiaye neno langu na hakulitii; mfano wake ni mtu aliyejenga nyumba juu ya ardhi pasipokuwa na msingi, mto ulipoishukia kwa nguvu, nyumba ile ilitopata maangamizi makubwa.
