Matthew 9
1 And, entering into a boat, he crossed over, and came into his own city.
Yesu akaingia kwenye boti, akavuka na akafika kwenye mji alipokuwa anaishi.
2 And lo! they were bringing unto him a paralytic, on a couch, laid prostrate; and Jesus, seeing, their faith, said to the paralytic, —Take courage! child, forgiven are thy sins.
Tazama, wakamletea mtu aliyepooza amelazwa kwenye godoro. alipooiona imani yao, Yesu akamwambia mtu aliyepooza, “Mwanangu, uwe na furaha, Dhambi zako zimesamehewa”
3 And lo! certain of the scribes, said within themselves, —This man, speaketh profanely!
Tazama, Baadhi ya walimu wa sheria wakasemezana wao kwa wao, “Huyu mtu anakufuru”
4 And Jesus, knowing, their inward thoughts, said, —To what end are ye cherishing evil thoughts within your hearts?
Yesu akatambua mawazo yao na kusema, “Kwa nini mnawaza maovu moyoni mwenu?
5 For which is easier—To say, Forgiven are thy sins, —or to say, Rise and be walking!
Kipi kilicho rahisi kusema, 'Dhambi zako zimesamehewa' au kusema, 'Simama na utembee?'
6 But, that ye may know, that the Son of Man hath, authority, upon the earth, to be forgiving sins, then, saith he to the paralytic, —Rise! take up thy couch, and withdraw unto thy house.
Lakini mtambue ya kwamba Mwana wa Adamu anao uwezo wa kusamehe dhambi...” aliyasema haya kwa yule aliyepooza, “Simama, chukua godoro lako, na uende nyumbani kwako”
7 And, rising, he departed unto his house.
Ndipo yule mtu akasimama na kuondoka kwenda nyumbani kwake.
8 Now the multitudes, seeing, were struck with fear, and glorified the God who had given authority, such as this, unto men.
Makutano walipoona hayo, walishangaa na kumsifu Mungu, ambaye amewapa uwezo huo watu.
9 And Jesus, passing aside from thence, saw a man presiding over the tax-office, called, Matthew, and saith unto him, —Be following me. And, arising, he followed him.
Na Yesu alipokuwa akipita kutoka hapo, alimwona mtu ambaye aliitwa kwa jina la Mathayo, ambaye alikuwa amekaa sehemu ya watoza ushuru. Naye akamwambia, “Nifuate mimi” Naye akasimama na kumfuata.
10 And it came to pass, as he was reclining in the house, that lo! many tax-collectors and sinners, came, and were reclining together with Jesus and his disciples.
Na Yesu alipoketi ili ale chakula ndani ya nyumba, wakaja watoza ushuru wengi na watu waovu wakashiriki chakula pamoja na Yesu na wanafunzi wake.
11 And, the Pharisees, observing it, began to say unto his disciples, —Wherefore, with tax-collectors and sinners, doth your Teacher eat?
Ndipo Mafarisayo walipoona hayo, wakawaambia wanafunzi “Kwa nini mwalimu wenu anakula chakula pamoja na watoza ushuru na watu waovu?”
12 And, he, hearing it, said, —No need have the strong, of a physician, but they who are sick.
Yesu aliposikia hayo, naye alisema “Watu walio na afya nzuri hawahitaji mganga, isipokuwa wale walio wagonjwa.
13 But go ye, and learn what this meaneth, —Mercy, I desire, and not, sacrifice; For I came, not to call the righteous, but sinners.
Inawapasa muende mkajifunze maana yake, “Ninapenda rehema na siyo dhabihu” Kwa kuwa nilikuja, si kwa wenye haki kutubu, lakini kwa wenye dhambi.
14 Then come near unto him the disciples of John, saying, —Wherefore do, we, and the Pharisees, fast, whereas, thy disciples, fast not?
Ndipo wanafunzi wa Yohana wakaja kwake na kusema, “Kwa nini sisi na mafarisayo tunafunga, lakini wanafunzi wako hawafungi?”
15 And Jesus said unto them, —Can, the sons of the bridechamber, mourn, so long as, the bridegroom, is, with them? But days will come, when the bridegroom, shall be taken from them, and, then, will they fast.
Yesu akawaambia, Je wasindikizaji wa arusi wanaweza kuwa na huzuni pindi Bwana arusi anapokuwa pamoja nao? Lakini siku zinakuja ambapo Bwana arusi atachukuliwa kutoka kwao, na ndipo watakapofunga.
16 Howbeit, no one, layeth on a patch of unshrunk cloth, upon an old garment, —for the shrinking of it teareth away from the garment, and, a worse rent, is made.
Hakuna mtu anayeweka kipande cha nguo mpya kwenye nguo ya zamani, kiraka kitatatuliwa kutoka kwenye nguo na mpasuko mkubwa utatokea.
17 Neither pour they new wine into old skins: otherwise at least, the skins are burst, and, the wine, runneth out, and, the skins, are spoiled, —but they pour new wine into unused skins, and, both, are together preserved.
Hakuna watu wanaoweka mvinyo mpya katika chombo cha mvinyo wa zamani, ikiwa watafanya, ngozi itachanika, mvinyo utatoweka na ngozi itaharibika. Badala yake, huweka mvinyo mpya katika ngozi mpya na vyote vitakuwa salama.
18 While, these things, he was speaking unto them, lo! a [certain] ruler, came, and began bowing down to him, saying, —My daughter, just now died! But come, and lay thy hand upon, her, and she shall live.
Wakati Yesu alipokuwa akiwaambia mambo hayo, tazama, afisa akaja akasujudu mbele yake, Naye akasema, “Binti yangu amefariki punde, lakini njoo na uweke mkono wako juu yake na yeye ataishi tena.
19 And Jesus, arising, was following him, also his disciples.
Ndipo Yesu akasimama na kumfuata na wanafunzi wake pia.
20 And lo! a woman, having a flow of blood twelve years, coming near behind, touched the fringe of his mantle.
Tazama, mwanamke ambaye alikuwa anatokwa damu kwa muda wa miaka kumi na miwili, akaja karibu na Yesu na akagusa sehemu ya pindo la vazi lake.
21 For she kept saying within herself, —If only I touch his mantle, I shall be made well!
Kwa kuwa alisema, “Endapo nitagusa vazi lake, nami nitapata uponyaji.”
22 And, Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, —Take courage! daughter, Thy faith, hath made thee well. And the woman was made well, from that hour.
Yesu akageuka na kumtazama na kumwambia. “Binti, jipe moyo, imani yako imekufanya upone,” Na muda huo huo mwanamke akapata uponyaji muda huo.
23 And, Jesus, coming, into the house of the ruler, and seeing the flute-players and the multitude in confusion, was saying:
Na Yesu alipofika kwenye nyumba ya afisa, naye aliwaona wapiga tarumbeta na umati wa watu ulikuwa ukipiga kelele.
24 Give place! for the maiden died not, but is sleeping. And they began to deride him.
Naye akasema, “Tokeni hapa, kwa kuwa binti hajafa, bali amelala. Lakini wao walicheka na kumkebehi.
25 But, when the multitude had been put forth, he went in, and grasped her hand, —and the maiden arose.
Na wale watu walipotolewa nje, naye akaingia chumbani na kumshika mkono na msichana akaamka.
26 And forth went this report, into the whole of that land.
Na habari hizi zikaenea katika mji mzima.
27 And, as Jesus, was passing aside from thence, there followed him, two blind men, crying aloud and saying, —Have mercy on us, O Son of David!
Ndipo Yesu alipokuwa akipita kutoka pale, wanaume wawili vipofu wakamfuata. Waliendelea kupaza sauti wakisema, “Tunaomba uturehemu, Mwana wa Daudi.”
28 And, when he entered the house, the blind men came unto him, —and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye, that I can, do this? They say unto him, Yea, Lord!
Pindi Yesu apokuwa amefika kwenye nyumba, wale vipofu wakaja kwake. Yesu akawaambia, “Mnaamini kwamba ninaweza kutenda?” Nao wakamwambia “Ndiyo, Bwana”
29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it done unto you.
Ndipo Yesu akagusa macho yao na kusema “Na ifanyike hivyo kwenu kama imani yenu ilivyo”
30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus, sternly charged them, saying, Mind! let no one know!
Na macho yao yakafumbuka. Ndipo Yesu akasisitiza akawaamuru na kusema “Angalieni mtu yeyote asifahamu kuhusu jambo hili.”
31 They, however, going forth, made him known throughout the whole of that land.
Lakini watu hawa wawili wakaondoka na kutangaza habari hizi sehemu zote za mji.
32 And, as, they, were going forth, lo! there was brought to him, a dumb man, demonized.
Ndipo wale wanaume wawili walipokuwa wakienda zao, Tazama, mtu mmoja bubu aliyepagawa na pepo akaletwa kwa Yesu.
33 And, the demon being cast out, the dumb man spoke; and the multitudes marvelled, saying, —Never, was it seen thus, in Israel.
Na pepo walipomtoka, yule mtu bubu akaanza kuongea. Umati ukashangazwa na kusema “Hii haijawahi kutokea katika Israel.
34 [But, the Pharisees, beg to say, In the ruler of the demons, is he casting out the demons.]
Lakini mafarisayo walikuwa wakisema “Kwa wakuu wa pepo, anawafukuza mapepo”
35 And Jesus was going round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the glad-message of the kingdom, —and curing every disease, and every infirmity.
Yesu akaenda kwenye miji yote na vijiji. Naye akaendelea kufundisha katika masinagogi, akihubiri injili ya ufalme, na kuponya magonjwa ya kila aina na udhaifu wa aina zote.
36 But, seeing the multitudes, he was moved with compassion concerning them, because they were torn and thrown down, like sheep hating no shepherd.
Wakati alipotazama umati, naye aliwaonea huruma, kwa sababu walisumbuka na kuvunjika moyo. Walikuwa kama kondoo wasio na mchungaji.
37 Then, saith he unto his disciples, The harvest, indeed, is great, but, the labourers, few;
Naye akawaambia wanafunzi wake. “Mavuno ni mengi, lakini wafanya kazi ni wachache.
38 Beg ye, therefore, of the Lord of the harvest, —That he would thrust forth labourers, into his harvest.
Hivyo basi upesi mwombeni Bwana wa mavuno, ili kwamba atume wafanya kazi katika mavuno yake.”
