Luke 7
1 When he had ended all his discourse in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.
Baada ya Yesu kumaliza kila kitu alichokuwa anasema kwa watu waliomsikiliza, akaingia Kapernaumu.
2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and about to die.
Mtumwa fulani wa akida, aliyekuwa wa thamani sana kwake, alikuwa mgonjwa sana na alikuwa karibu ya kufa.
3 And having heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, and besought him to come and save his servant.
Lakini akiwa amesikia kuhusu Yesu, yule Akida alimtuma kiongozi wa kiyahudi, kumwomba aje kumwokoa mtumwa wake ili asife.
4 And they came to Jesus, and besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldst do this for him;
Walipofika karibu na Yesu, walimsihi kwa bidii na kusema, “anastahili kwamba unapaswa kufanya hivi kwa ajili yake,
5 for he loveth our nation, and himself built the synagogue for us.
kwa sababu analipenda taifa letu, na ndiye aliyejenga sinagogi kwa ajili yetu”.
6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof;
Yesu akaendelea na safari yake pamoja nao. lakini kabla hajaenda mbali na nyumba, afisa mmoja aliwatuma marafiki zake kuzungumza naye. “Bwana, usijichoshe mwenyewe kwa sababu mimi sistahili wewe kuingia kwenye dari yangu.
7 on which account I did not think myself worthy to come to thee; but command with a word, and let my servant be healed.
Kwa sababu hii sikufikiria hata mimi mwenyewe kuwa ninafaa kuja kwako, lakini sema neno tu na mtumishi wangu atapona.
8 For even I am a man set under authority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
Kwani mimi pia ni mtu niliyewekwa kwenye mamlaka na nina askari chini yangu. Husema kwa huyu “Nenda” na huenda, na kwa mwingine, “Njoo” naye huja, na kwa mtumishi wangu 'Fanya hiki', na yeye hufanya”.
9 And Jesus hearing this, wondered at him; and turning round said to the multitude that followed him, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found such faith.
Yesu aliposikia haya alishangaa, na kuwageukia makutano waliokuwa wanamfuata na kusema.”Nawaambia, hata katika Israeli, sijawahi kuona mtu mwenye imani kuu kama huyu.
10 And they who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well.
Kisha wale waliokuwa wametumwa walirudi nyumbani na kumkuta mtumishi akiwa mzima.
11 And it came to pass the day after, that he was going to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples were with him, and a great multitude.
fulani baada ya haya, ilitokea kuwa Yesu alikuwa anasafiri kwenda mji ulioitwa Naini. wanafunzi wake wakaenda pamoja naye wakiambana na umati wa watu.
12 And as he came near the gate of the city, lo! there was carried out dead an only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a great multitude from the city was with her.
Alipofika karibu na Lango la jiji tazama, mtu aliyekufa alikuwa amebebwa, na ni mtoto wa pekee kwa mama yake. aliyekuwa mjane, na umati wa wawakilishi kutoka kwenye jiji walikuwa pamoja naye.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not.
Alipomwona, Bwana akamsogelea kwa huruma kubwa sana juu yake na akamwambia, “Usilie”.
14 And he came up, and touched the bier; and they who bore it stood still; and he said, Young man, I say to thee, Rise.
Kisha akasogea mbele akaligusa jeneza ambalo walibebea mwili, na wale waliobeba wakasimama akasema “Kijana nasema amka”
15 And he that was dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
Mfu akainuka na kukaa chini na akaanza kuongea. Kisha Yesu akamkabidhi kwa mama yake.
16 And fear seized on all, and they gave glory to God, saying, A great prophet hath risen up among us; and, God hath visited his people.
Kisha hofu ikawajaa wote. wakaendelea kumtukuza Mungu wakisema “Nabii mkuu ameinuliwa miongoni mwetu” na “Mungu amewaangalia watu wake”
17 And this report about him went forth in all Judaea, and in all the neighboring country.
Hizi habari njema za Yesu zilienea Yudea yote na kwa mikoa yote ya jirani.
18 And the disciples of John told him all these things.
Wanafunzi wa Yohana walimwamwambia mambo haya yote.
19 And calling to him two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?
Ndipo Yohana akawaita wawili wa wanafunzi wake na kuwatuma kwa Bwana kusema “Wewe ndiye yule ajaye, au kuna mtu mwingine tumtazamie?
20 And the men came to him and said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?
Walipofika karibu na Yesu hawa wakasema, “Yohana mbatizaji ametutuma kwako kusema, 'Wewe ni yule ajaye au kuna mtu mwingine tumtazamie?”
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many who were blind he gave sight.
kwa wakati huo aliowaponya watu wengi kutoka katika magonjwa na mateso, kutoka kwa roho wachafu, na kwa watu wenye upofu aliwapa kuona.
22 And he answered and said to them, Go and tell John what ye have seen and heard; that the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor good tidings are brought;
Yesu akajibu na kusema kwao. “Baada ya kuwa mmekwenda mlikotoka mtamjulisha Yohana mlichokiona na kukisikia. Wenye upofu wanapokea kuona na viwete wanatembea, wenye ukoma wanatakasika, viziwi wanasikia, wafu wanafufuliwa na kuwa hai tena, masikini wanaambiwa habari njema.
23 and blessed is he, whoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.
Na mtu ambaye hataacha kuniamini mimi kwa sababu ya matendo yangu amebarikiwa”.
24 And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What have ye gone out into the wilderness to see? the reeds shaken by the wind?
Baada ya wale waliotumwa na Yohana kurudi walikotoka, Yesu akaanza kusema kwa makutano juu ya Yohana, “Mlikwenda nje kuona nini, mwanzi ukiwa unatikiswa na upepo?
25 But what have ye gone out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Lo! they who wear gorgeous apparel, and live luxuriously, are in kings' palaces.
lakini mlikwenda nje kuona nini, mtu aliyevaa vizuri? tazama watu wale wanaovaa mavazi ya kifalme na kuishi maisha ya starehe wako kwenye nafasi za wafalme.
26 But what have ye gone out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
lakini mnakwenda nje kuona nini, Nabii? Ndiyo, ninasema kwenu na zaidi sana kuliko nabii.
27 This is he of whom it is written, “Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.”
Huyu ndiye aliyeandikiwa, “Tazama, namtuma mjumbe wangu mbele ya macho yenu, atakeyeandaa njia kwa ajili yangu,
28 I say to you, Among those born of women there is no greater prophet than John; but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
Nasema kwenu, kati ya wale waliozaliwa na mwanamke, hakuna mkuu kama Yohana, lakini mtu asiye muhimu sana atakayeishi na Mungu mahali alipo yeye, atakuwa mkuu kuliko Yohana.”
29 And all the people when they heard him, and the publicans, acknowledged God as righteous by being baptized with the baptism of John.
Na watu wote waliposikia haya pamoja na watoza ushuru, walitangaza kuwa Mungu ni mwenye Haki. Walikuwepo kati yao wale waliobatizwa kwa ubatizo wa Yohana.
30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God toward themselves, not being baptized by him.
Lakini mafarisayo na wataalamu wa sheria za kiyahudi, ambao hawakubatizwa na yeye walikataa hekima za Mungu kwa ajili yao wenyewe.
31 To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like?
Tena naweza kuwalinganisha na nini watu wa kizazi hiki? Wakoje hasai?
32 They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another, saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance; we sung a dirge, and ye did not weep.
Wanafanana na watoto wanaocheza kwenye eneo la soko, wanaokaa na kuitana mmoja baada wa mwingine wakisema, 'Tumepuliza filimbi kwa ajili yenu, na hamkucheza. tumeomboleza na hamkulia.'
33 For John the Baptist hath come not eating bread, nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.
Yohana mbatizaji alikuja hakula mkate wala hakunywa divai, na mkasema “Ana pepo.
34 The Son of man hath come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a glutton and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
Mwana wa Mtu amekuja amekula na kunywa na mkasema, “Angali ni mlafi na mlevi, rafiki wa watoza ushuru na wenye dhambi!
35 But wisdom is acknowledged by all her children.
Lakini hekima imetambulika kuwa ina haki kwa watoto wake wote.”
36 And one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him; and he went into the Pharisee's house, and reclined at the table.
Mmoja wa mafarisayo alimwomba Yesu aende kula pamoja naye. Baada ya Yesu kuingia kwenye nyumba ya farisayo, aliegemea kwenye meza ili ale.
37 And lo! a woman who was in the city, a sinner, learning that he was at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster-bottle of ointment,
Tazama kulikuwa na mwanamke mmoja katika jiji hilo aliyekuwa na dhambi. Akagundua kuwa alikuwa amekaa kwa Farisayo, akaleta chupa ya manukato.
38 and standing behind at his feet, weeping, began to wet his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
Alisimama nyuma yake karibu na miguu yake huku akilia. Tena alianza kulowanisha miguu yake kwa machozi, na kuifuta kwa nywele za kichwa chake, akiibusu miguu yake na kuipaka manukato.
39 And the Pharisee who had invited him, when he saw this, said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would know who, and what sort of woman, this is that toucheth him; for she is a sinner.
Na yule farisayo aliyekuwa amemwalika Yesu alipoona hivyo, akawaza mwenyewe akisema, “Kama huyu mtu angekuwa nabii, angejua huyu ni nani na ni aina gani ya mwanamke anayemgusa, ya kuwa ni mwenye dhambi.
40 And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.
Yesu akajibu na kumwambia, “Simoni nina kitu cha kukuambia. “Akasema” “Kiseme tu mwalimu!”
41 A certain money-lender had two debtors; one owed five hundred denaries, and the other fifty.
Yesu akasema “Kulikuwa na wadaiwa wawili kwa mkopeshaji mmoja. Mmoja alikuwa anadaiwa dinari mia tano na wa pili alidaiwa dinari hamsini.
42 When they had nothing to pay, he freely remitted the debt of both. Which of them, now, will love him the most?
Na walipokuwa hawana pesa ya kumlipa aliwasamehe wote. Sasa ni nani atampenda zaidi?
43 Simon answering said, He, I suppose, to whom he remitted the most. And he said to him, Thou hast judged rightly.
Simoni akamjibu na kusema, “Nadhani aliyesamehewa zaidi.”Yesu akamwambia, “Umehukumu kwa usahihi.”
44 And turning to the woman, he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered thy house, no water didst thou give me for my feet; but she wet my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.
Yesu akamgeukia mwanamke na kusema kwa Simoni, “Unamwona huyu mwanamke. Nimeingia kwenye Nyumba yako. Hukunipa maji kwa ajili ya miguu yangu, lakini huyu, kwa machozi yake, alilowanisha miguu yangu na kuifuta kwa nywele zake.
45 No kiss didst thou give me; but she, from the time I came in, did not cease to kiss my feet.
Hukunibusu, lakini yeye, tangu alipoingia humu hakuacha kunibusu miguu yangu.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she anointed my feet with costly ointment.
Hukuipaka miguu yangu kwa mafuta, lakini ameipaka miguu yangu kwa manukato.
47 Wherefore, I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loveth little.
Kwa jambo hili, nakwambia kwamba alikuwa na dhambi nyingi na amesamehewa zaidi, na pia alipenda zaidi. Lakini aliyesamehewa kidogo, hupenda kidogo tu.”
48 And he said to her, Thy sins have been forgiven.
Baadaye akamwambia mwanamke, “Dhambi zako zimesamehewa”
49 And those who were at table with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?
Wale waliokaa mezani pamoja naye wakaanza kusemezana wao kwa wao, “Huyu ni nani mpaka anasamehe dhambi?”
50 But he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
Na Yesu akamwambia mwanamke, “Imani yako imekuokoa. Enenda kwa amani”
