Matthew 12
1 In that season, went Jesus, on, the sabbath, through the cornfields, —and, his disciples, hungered, and began to pluck ears of corn, and to eat.
Wakati huo Yesu alienda siku ya sabato kupitia mashambani. Wanafunzi wake walikuwa na njaa na wakaanza kuyavunja masuke na kuyala.
2 But, the Pharisees, observing it, said unto him, Lo! thy disciples, are doing what is not allowed to do, on sabbath.
Lakini Mafarisayo walipoona hayo, wakamwambia Yesu “Angalia wanafunzi wako wanavunja sheria wanatenda siku yasiyo yuhusiwa siku ya Sabato''
3 And he said unto them, have ye never read what, David, did, when he hungered, and they who were with him? how
Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Hamjasoma jinsi Daudi aliyoyafanya, wakati alipokuwa na njaa, pamoja na watu aliokuwa nao?
4 he entered into the house of God and, the presence-bread, did eat, which it was not, allowable, for him to eat, nor for them who were with him, —save for the priests, alone?
Namna alivyoingia ndani ya nyumba ya Mungu na kula mikate ya wonyesho, ambayo ilikuwa siyo halali kwake kuila na wale aliokuwa nao, ila halali kwa Makuhani?
5 Or have ye not read, in the law, that, on the sabbaths, the priests, in the temple, the sabbath, profane, and are, blameless?
Bado hamjasoma katika sheria, kwamba katika siku ya Sabato Makuhani ndani ya hekalu huinajisi Sabato, lakini hawana hatia?
6 But I say unto you, —Something greater than the Temple, is here!
Lakini nasema kwenu kuwa aliye mkuu kuliko hekalu yuko hapa.
7 If, however, ye had known what this meaneth—Mercy, I desire, and not, sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the blameless;
Kama mngalijua hii ina maanisha nini; nataka rehema na siyo dhabihu; msingaliwahukumu wasio na hatia,
8 For, the Son of Man, is, Lord of the Sabbath.
Kwa kuwa Mwana wa Adamu ndiye Bwana wa Sabato.”
9 And, passing on from thence, he came into their synagogue;
Kisha Yesu akatoka pale akaenda katika sinagogi lao.
10 and lo! a man having, a withered hand, and they questioned him, saying, Is it allowable, on the sabbath, to heal? that they might accuse him.
Tazama kulikuwa na mtu aliyepooza mkono. Mafarisayo wakamuuliza Yesu, wakisema. “Je, ni halali kuponya siku ya Sabato?” ili kwamba waweze kumshitaki kwa kutenda dhambi.
11 And said unto them, What man, from among yourselves, [shall there be], —Who shall have one sheep, and, if this should fall, on the sabbath, into a pit, will not lay hold of it, and raise it?
Yesu akawaambia, “Nani kati yenu, ambaye ikiwa ana kondoo mmoja, na huyu kondoo akaanguka ndani ya shimo siku ya sabato, hatamshika na kumtoa kwa nguvu ndani ya shimo?
12 How much better, then, a man, than, a sheep? So that it is allowable, on the sabbath, nobly, to act.
Je, ni kipi chenye thamani, zaidi kwani, si zaidi ya kondoo! Kwa hivyo ni halali kutenda mema siku ya Sabato.''
13 Then saith he unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand! And he stretched it forth, —and it was restored, whole, as the other.
Kisha Yesu akamwambia yule mtu,” Nyoosha mkono wako” Akaunyoosha, na ukapata afya, kama ule mwingine.
14 And the Pharisees, going forth, took, counsel, against him, to the end that, him, they might destroy.
Lakini Mafarisayo wakatoka njena wakapanga jinsi ya kumwangamiza walienda nje kupanga kinyume chake. Walikuwa wakitafuta jinsi ya kumuua.
15 But, Jesus, taking note, retired from thence, —and many followed him, and he cured them all;
Yesu alipoelewa hili aliondoka hapo. Watu wengi walimfuata, na akawaaponya wote.
16 and straitly charged them, lest they should make him, manifest:
Aliwaagiza wasije wakamfanya afahamike kwa wengine,
17 that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: —
kwamba itimie ile kweli, iliyokuwa imesemwa na nabii Isaya, akisema,
18 Lo! my servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom, my soul, delighteth, —I will put my Spirit upon him, and, justice, unto the nations, will he report:
Tazama, mtumishi wangu niliyemchagua, mpendwa wangu, katika yeye nafsi yangu imependezwa. Nitaweka Roho yangu juu yake, na atatangaza hukumu kwa Mataifa.
19 He will not strive, nor will he cry out, nor shall any hear, in the broadways, his voice:
Hatahangaika wala kulia kwa nguvu; wala awaye yote kusikia sauti yake mitaani.
20 A bruised cane, will he not break, and, a smoking wick, will he not quench, —until he urge on, justice, to victory,
Hatalivunja tete lililochubuliwa; hatazima utambi wowote utoao moshi, mpaka atakapoleta hukumu ikashinda.
21 And, in his name, shall nations hope.
Na Mataifa watakuwa na ujasiri katika jina lake.
22 Then they brought unto him, one demonized, blind and dumb, —and he cured him, so that the dumb did speak and see.
Mtu fulani kipofu na bubu, aliyepagawa na pepo aliletwa mbele ya Yesu. Akamponya, pamoja na matokeo ya kwamba mtu bubu alisema na kuona.
23 And all the multitudes were beside themselves, and were saying, Can, this one, be, the Son of David?
Makutano wote walishangaa na kusema,”Yaweza mtu huyu kuwa mwana wa Daudi?”
24 But, the Pharisees, hearing it, said, This one, doth not cast out the demons, save in Beelzebul ruler of the demons.
Lakini pindi Mafarisayo waliposikia muujiza huu, walisema, “Huyu mtu hatoi pepo kwa nguvu zake mwenyewe isipokuwa kwa nguvu za Belzebuli, mkuu wa pepo.
25 And, knowing their inward thoughts, he said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself, is laid waste, —and, no city or house divided against itself, will stand;
“Lakini Yesu alifahamu fikra zao na kuwaambia, “Kila ufalme uliogawanyika wenyewe huharibika, na kila mji au nyumba inayogawanyika yenyewe haitasimama.
26 And, if, Satan, is casting, Satan, out, against himself, hath he become divided, —How then shall, his kingdom, stand?
Ikiwa Shetani, atamwondoa Shetani, basi anajipinga katika nafsi yake mwenyewe.
27 And, if, I, in Beelzebul, am casting out the demons, In whom are, your sons, casting them out? Wherefore, they, shall be, judges of you.
Ni namna gani ufalme wake utasimama? Na kama natoa pepo kwa nguvu za Belizabuli, wafuasi wenu huwatatoa kwa nija ya nani? Kwa ajili ya hili watakuwa mahakimu wenu.
28 But, if, in God’s Spirit, I, am casting out the demons, then doubtless hath come upon you unawares, the kingdom of God!
Na kama natoa pepo kwa nguvu za Roho wa Mungu, basi ufalme wa Mungu umekjua kwenu.
29 Or how can one enter the house of the mighty and, seize his goods, unless, first, he bind the mighty one? and, then, his house, he will plunder.
Na mtu atawezaje kuingia ndani ya nyumba ya mwenye nguvu na kuiba, bila kumfunga mwenye nguvu kwanza? Ndiyo atakapoiba mali yake kutoka ndani ya nyumba.
30 He that is no with me, is, against me, —and, he that gathereth not with me, scattereth
Yeyote asiye kuwa pamoja nami yuko kinyume changu, naye asiye kusanya pamoja nami huyo hutawanya.
31 Wherefore, I say unto you, All sin and profane speaking, shall be forgiven unto men, —but, the speaking profanely of the Spirit, shall not be forgiven;
Kwa hiyo nasema kwenu, kila dhambi na kufuru watu watasamehewa, ila kumkufuru Roho Mtakatifu hawatasamehewa.
32 And, whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him, —but, whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or the coming. (aiōn g165)
Na yeyote asemaye neno kinyume cha Mwana wa Adamu, hilo atasamehewa. Lakini yeyote asemaye kinyume na Roho Mtakatifu, huyo hatasamehewa, katika ulimwengu huu, na wala ule ujao (aiōn g165)
33 Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree worthless, and its fruit worthless; for, from the fruit, the tree is known.
Ama ufanye mti kuwa mzuri na tunda lake zuri, au uuharibu mti na tunda lake, kwa kuwa mti hutambulika kwa tunda lake.
34 Broods of vipers! How can ye speak, good things, being, evil? For, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.
Nyinyi kizazi cha nyoka, nyie ni waovu, mnawezaje kusema mambo mazuri? Kwa kuwa kinywa hunena kutoka katika akiba ya yaliyomo moyoni.
35 The good man, out of the good treasure, putteth forth, good things; and, the evil man, out of the evil treasure, putteth forth, evil things.
Mtu mwema katika akiba njema ya moyo wake hutoka mema, na mtu mwovu katika akiba ovu ya moyo wake, hutoa kilicho kiovu.
36 But I say unto you, That, every useless expression that men shall utter, they shall render, concerning it, an account, in a day of judgment;
Nawaambia kuwa katika siku ya hukumu watu watatoa hesabu ya kila neno lisilo na maana walilosema.
37 For, by thy words, shalt thou be, justified, and, by thy words, shalt thou be condemned.
Kwa kuwa kwa maneno yako utahesabiwa haki na kwa maneno yako utahukumiwa.”
38 Then, answered him, certain of the Scribes and Pharisees, saying, Teacher! we desire of thee, a sign, to behold.
Kisha baadhi ya waandishi na Mafarisayo walimjibu Yesu wakisema” Mwalimu, tungependa kuona ishara kutoka kwako.”
39 But, he, answering, said unto them, A wicked and adulterous generation, a sign, doth seek, and, a sign, will not be, given, it, save the sign of Jonah the prophet.
Lakini Yesu alijibu na kuwaambia, “Kizazi kiovu na cha zinaa kinatafuta ishara. Lakini hakuna ishara itakayotolewa kwao isipokuwa ile ishara ya Yona nabii.
40 For, just as was Jonah in the belly of the sea-monster three days and three nights, so, will be the Son of Man, in the heart of the earth, three days and three nights.
Kama vile nabii Yona alivyokuwa ndani ya tumbo la samaki mkubwa kwa siku tatu mchana na usiku, hivyo ndivyo Mwana wa Adam atakavyo kuwa ndani ya moyo wa nchi kwa siku tatu mchana na usiku.
41 Men of Nineveh, will rise up in the judgment, with this generation, and will condemn it, —because they repented into the proclamation of Jonah; and lo! something greater than Jonah, here.
Watu wa Ninawi watasimama mbele ya hukumu pamoja na kizazi cha watu hawa na watakihukumu. Kwa kuwa walitubu kwa mahubiri ya Yona, na tazama, mtu fulani mkuu kuliko Yona yuko hapa.
42 The queen of the south, will arise in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it—because she came out of the ends of the earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and lo! something greater than Solomon, here.
Malkia wa kusini atainuka kwenye hukumu pamoja na watu wa kizazi hiki na kukihukumu. Alikuja toka miisho ya dunia kuja kusikia hekima ya Selemani, na tazama, mtu fulani mkuu kuliko Selemani yupo hapa.
43 But, when the impure spirit goeth out of the man, it passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, —and findeth it not.
Wakati pepo mchafu amtokapo mtu, hupita mahali pasipo na maji akitafuta kupumzika, lakini hapaoni
44 Then, it saith, Into my house, will I return whence I came out, —and, coming, findeth it empty [and] swept and adorned.
Kisha husema, 'nitarudi kwenye nyumba yangu niliyotoka.' Arudipo hukuta ile nyumba imesafishwa na iko tayari.
45 Then, it goeth, and taketh along with itself, seven diverse spirits, more wicked than itself, —and, entering, abideth there; and, the last state of that man, becometh, worse than the first. So, shall it be, with this, wicked, generation.
Kisha huenda na kuwaleta wengine roho wachafu saba walio wabaya zaidi kuliko yeye, huja kuishi wote pale. Na hali yake ya mwisho huwa mbaya kuliko ya kwanza. Hivyo ndivyo itakavyo kuwa kwa kizazi hiki kiovu.
46 While yet he was speaking unto the multitudes, lo! his mother and brethren, were standing without, seeking to speak with him.
Wakati Yesu alipokuwa akizungumza na umati tazama, mama yake na ndugu zake walisimama nje, wakitafuta kuongea naye.
47 [And one said to him, Lo! thy mother and thy brethren, without, are standing, seeking, to speak, with thee.]
Mtu mmoja akamwambia, “Tazama mama yako na ndugu zako wamesimama nje, wanatafuta kuongea nawe”.
48 But, he, answering, said unto him that was telling him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
Lakini Yesu alijibu na kumwambia aliyemjulisha, “Mama yangu ni nani? Na ndugu zangu ni akina nani?”
49 And, stretching forth his hand towards his disciples, he said, Lo! my mother and my brethren!
Naye alinyoosha mkono wake kwa wanafunzi na kusema, “Tazama, hawa ni mama na ndugu zangu!
50 For, whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in the heavens, he, is my, brother, and sister, and mother.
Kwa kuwa yeyote afanyae mapenzi ya Baba yangu aliye mbinguni, mtu huyo ndiye ndugu yangu, dada yangu na mama yangu”.
