Matthew 10
1 And he called his twelve disciples, and gave them power over unclean spirits to cast them out, and to cure every disease and infirmity.
Yesu akawaita wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili pamoja na kuwapa mamlaka juu ya pepo wachafu, kuwakemea na kuwafukuza na kuponya aina zote za maladhi na aina zote za magonjwa.
2 Now, of the twelve apostles the names are these: the first of them, Shemun who is called Kipha, and Andreas his brother, and Jakubbar-Zabdai, and Juchanon his brother,
Majina ya mitume kumi na wawili ni haya. La kwanza simeoni (ambaye pia anaitwa Petro), na Andrea kaka yake, Yakobo mwana wa Zebedayo, na Yohana kaka yake:
3 and Philipos, and Bar-Tholmai, and Thoma, and Mathai the tribute-gatherer, and Jakubbar-Chalphai, and Labi who was surnamed Thadai,
Philipo, na Bartelemayo, Thomaso, na Mathayo mtoza ushuru, Yakobo mwana wa Alfayo, na Tadeo,
4 and Shemun the zealous, and Jihuda S'carjuta, he who betrayed him.
Simoni mkananayo, na Yuda iskariote, ambaye alimsaliti.
5 These twelve Jeshu sent, and commanded them and said, In the way of the heathens go not, and into the city of the Shomroyee do not enter;
Hawa kumi na wawili Yesu aliwatuma. Naye aliwaelekeza akisema “Msiende sehemu wanakoishi wamataifa na msiingie kwenye miji ya wasamalia.
6 but go rather unto the sheep which have perished from the house of Isroel.
Badala yake, mwende kwa kondoo waliopotea wa nyumba ya Israel.
7 And as you go, proclaim and say that the kingdom of heaven hath drawn near.
Na mnapokwenda, hubirini na kusema, ufalme wa mbinguni umekaribia.'
8 The diseased heal, the lepers cleanse, the dead raise, and the demons cast forth. Freely you have received, freely give.
Ponyeni wagonjwa, fufueni wafu, takaseni wenye ukoma na fukuzeni pepo. Mmepokea bure, toeni bure.
9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
Msichue dhahabu, almasi au shaba kwenye pochi zenu.
10 nor a wallet for the road; neither two tunics, nor sandals, nor staff: for worthy is the workman of his meat.
Usichukue mkoba katika safari yenu, au nguo za ziada, viatu au fimbo, kwa kuwa mfanyakazi anastahili chakula chake.
11 And into whatsoever city or town you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and there be till you depart.
Mji wowote au kijiji mtakachoingia, tafuteni ambaye anastahili na mkae pale mpaka mtakapoondoka.
12 And when you enter into the house, invoke peace for the house;
Mtakapoingia katika nyumba salimieni,
13 and if the house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace upon yourselves shall revert.
endapo nyumba inastahili, amani yenu ibaki pale, lakini kama nyumba haistahili, amani yenu iondoke pamoja nanyi.
14 But whosoever doth not receive you or hear your words, when you depart from that house, or that town, set free the dust from your feet.
Na kwa wale wasiowapokea ninyi au kusikiliza maneno yenu, wakati mnaondoka kwenye nyumba au mji huo, jipanguseni mavumbi ya nyayo zenu mahali hapo.
15 And, Amen, I say unto you, that for the land of Sadum and of Amura it will be more tolerable, in the day of the judgment, than for that city.
Kweli ninawaambia, itakuwa ya kustahimili zaidi miji ya Sodoma na Gomorah siku ya hukumu kuliko mji huo.
16 LO, I send you forth as sheep among wolves: be you, therefore, wise as serpents and guileless as doves.
Angalia, ninawatuma kama kondoo katikati ya mbwa mwitu, kwa hiyo iweni na werevu kama nyoka na wapole kama njiwa.
17 But beware of the sons of men; for, delivering you to the house of judgments, in their synagogues they will scourge you,
Muwe waangalifu na watu, watawapeleka kwenye mabaraza, na watawapiga kwenye masinagogi.
18 and before governors and kings bring you, on my account, for the testimony concerning them and the gentiles.
Na mtaletwa mbele ya wakuu na wafalme kwa ajili yangu, kama ushuhuda kwao na kwa mataifa.
19 But when they deliver you up, be not solicitous how or what you shall speak; for it is given you in that hour what you shall speak.
Pindi watakapowashutumu, msiwe na wasiwasi jinsi gani au nini cha kuongea, kwa kuwa kitu cha kusema mtapewa kwa wakati huo.
20 For it is not you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking in you.
Kwa kuwa sio ninyi mtakaoongea, lakini Roho wa Baba yenu ataongea ndani yenu.
21 But the brother shall deliver his brother unto death, and the father his son; and the sons shall rise up against their fathers, and shall slay them.
Ndugu atamwinukia ndugu yake kumwua, na baba kwa mtoto wake. Watoto watainuka dhidi ya wazazi, na kuwasababishia kifo.
22 And you shall be abhorred by all men on account of my name: but he who shall persevere until the end, he shall be saved.
Nanyi mtachukiwa na kila mtu kwa sababu ya jina langu. Lakini yeyote atakayevumilia mpaka mwisho mtu huyo ataokolewa.
23 When they persecute you in this city, escape to the other; for, Amen I say unto you, that you shall not have completed all the cities of the house of Isroel, till the Son of man shall come.
Pindi wanapowatesa katika mji huu, kimbilieni mji unaofuata, kwa kweli ninawaambia, hamtakuwa mmekwenda kwenye miji yote ya Israeli kabla ya mwana wa Adam hajarudi.
24 The disciple is not greater than his master, nor the servant than his lord.
Mwanafunzi si mkuu kuliko mwalimu wake, wala mtumwa aliye juu ya Bwana wake.
25 It sufficeth the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If the master of the house they have called Beelzebub, how much more his house-sons!
Inatosha kwa mwanafunzi kwamba awe kama mwalimu wake, na mtumishi kama Bwana wake. Ikiwa wamemwita Bwana wa nyumba Belzabuli, ni kwa kiasi gani zaidi watawakashifu wa nyumba yake!
26 You shall not fear, therefore, from them; for there is nothing covered which shall not be revealed, nor secret which shall not be known.
Hivyo basi msiwahofu wao, kwa kuwa hakuna jambo ambalo halitafunuliwa, na hakuna lililofichika ambalo halitajulikana.
27 Whatsoever I say to you in darkness, declare you in the light; and whatsoever you have heard in your ears, proclaim upon the roofs.
Kile ninachowaambia gizani, mkiseme nuruni, na mnachokisikia kwa ulaini masikioni mwenu, mkitangaze mkiwa juu ya nyumba.
28 And fear not them who kill the body, but the soul cannot kill; but fear rather One who the soul and the body can destroy in gihano. (Geenna g1067)
Msiwaogope wale ambao wanaua mwili lakini hawana uwezo wa kuua roho. Badala yake, mwogopeni yule ambaye awezaye kuangamiza mwili na roho kule kuzimu. (Geenna g1067)
29 Are not two sparrows sold for an asor? yet one of them, without your Father, doth not fall upon the earth.
Je kasuku wawili hawauzwi kwa senti ndogo? Hata hivyo hakuna anayeweza kuanguka chini bila Baba yenu kufahamu.
30 But of you, also, the hairs of your head are all numbered.
Lakini hata idadi ya nywele zenu zimehesabiwa.
31 Fear not, therefore; than many sparrows more precious are you.
Msiwe na hofu, kwa kuwa mnathamani zaidi kuliko kasuku wengi.
32 Every man, therefore, who shall confess me before the sons of men, I myself will confess him also before my Father who is in heaven.
Hivyo basi kila mmoja atakaye nikiri mbele za watu, nami pia nitamkiri mbele ya Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.
33 But whosoever shall deny me before the sons of men, I also will deny him, I, before my Father who is in heaven.
Lakini yeye atakaye nikana mbele za watu, nami pia nitamkana mbele ya Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.
34 EXPECT not that I have come to send forth peace on the earth; I have not come to send forth peace, but the sword.
Msifikiri kwamba nimekuja kuleta amani duniani. Sikuja kuleta amani, lakini upanga.
35 For I have come to cause a man to separate from his father, and a daughter from her mother, and a daughter-in-law from her mother-in-law;
Kwa kuwa nilikuja kumweka mtu apingane na baba yake, na binti dhidi ya mama yake, na mkwe dhidi ya mama mkwe wake.
36 and the adversaries of a man (to be) his own house-sons.
Adui wa mtu watakuwa wale wa nyumbani mwake.
37 Whosoever loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy (of) me; and whosoever loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy (of) me.
Yeye ambaye anampenda baba au mama zaidi kuliko mimi huyo hanistahili. Na yeye anayempenda kijana au binti zaidi kuliko mimi huyo hanistahili.
38 And every one who taketh not his cross and cometh after me, is not worthy of me.
Yeye ambaye hatabeba msalaba na kunifuata mimi hanistahili.
39 Whosoever will find his life shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Yeye atakayetafuta maisha atayapoteza. Lakini yeye atakayepoteza maisha kwa ajili yangu atayapata.
40 Whosoever receiveth you, receiveth me; and whosoever receiveth me, Him who sent me he receiveth.
Yeye atakayewakaribisha amenikaribisha mimi, na yeye atakayenikaribisha mimi amemkaribisha yeye aliyenituma mimi.
41 Whosoever entertaineth a prophet in the name of a prophet, the reward of a prophet receiveth. Whosoever entertaineth a just man in the name of a just man, the reward of the just man he receiveth.
Na yeye atakayemkaribisha nabii kwa sababu ni nabii atapokea thawabu ya nabii. Na yeye atakayemkaribisha mwenye haki kwa sababu ni mtu wa haki atapokea thawabu ya mtu wa haki.
42 And whosoever only giveth one of these little ones a cup of cold (waters) to drink in the name of a disciple, Amen, I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
Yeyote atakayempatia mmoja wa wadogo hawa, hata kikombe cha maji ya kunywa ya baridi, kwa sababu yeye ni mwanafunzi, kweli ninawaambia, yeye hawezi kukosa kwa njia yeyote thawabu yake.”
