Luke 6
1 Now it happened on a Sabbath that Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them between their hands, and eating the grain.
Siku moja ya Sabato, Yesu alikuwa anapita katika mashamba ya ngano, na wanafunzi wake wakaanza kukwanyua masuke ya ngano, wakaondoa punje zake kwa mikono, wakala.
2 But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing something that is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?”
Baadhi ya Mafarisayo wakawauliza, “Mbona mnafanya jambo ambalo si halali siku ya Sabato?”
3 Answering them, Jesus said, “Have you not even read what David did when he was hungry, he and the men who were with him?
Yesu akawajibu, “Je, hamjasoma jinsi alivyofanya Daudi pamoja na wenzake wakati walipokuwa na njaa?
4 He went into the house of God, and took the bread of the presence and ate some of it, and also gave some to the men who were with him to eat, even though it was only lawful for the priests to eat it.”
Yeye aliingia ndani ya nyumba ya Mungu, akachukua ile mikate iliyowekwa mbele ya Mungu, akala na kuwapa wenzake. Kisheria, ni makuhani tu peke yao ndio walioruhusiwa kula mikate hiyo.”
5 Then he said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
Hivyo akawaambia, “Mwana wa Mtu ni Bwana wa Sabato.”
6 It happened on another Sabbath that he went into the synagogue and taught the people there. A man was there whose right hand was withered.
Siku nyingine ya Sabato, Yesu aliingia katika sunagogi, akafundisha. Mle ndani mlikuwa na mtu ambaye mkono wake wa kuume ulikuwa umepooza.
7 The scribes and the Pharisees were watching him closely to see whether he would heal someone on the Sabbath, so that they might find a reason to accuse him.
Walimu wa Sheria na Mafarisayo walitaka kupata kisingizio cha kumshtaki Yesu na hivyo wakawa wanangojea waone kama angemponya mtu siku ya Sabato.
8 But he knew what they were thinking and he said to the man whose hand was withered, “Get up, and stand here in the middle of everyone.” So the man got up and stood there.
Lakini Yesu alijua mawazo yao, akamwambia yule mwenye mkono uliopooza, “Inuka, simama katikati.” Yule mtu akaenda akasimama katikati.
9 Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save a life or to destroy it?”
Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “Nawaulizeni, je, ni halali siku ya Sabato kutenda jambo jema au kutenda jambo baya; kuokoa maisha au kuyaangamiza?”
10 Then he looked around at them all and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was restored.
Baada ya kuwatazama wote waliokuwa pale, akamwambia yule mtu, “Nyosha mkono wako.” Naye akafanya hivyo, na mkono wake ukawa mzima tena.
11 But they were filled with anger and they talked to each other about what they might do to Jesus.
Lakini wao wakakasirika sana, wakajadiliana jinsi ya kumtendea Yesu maovu.
12 It happened in those days that he went out to the mountain to pray. He continued all night in prayer to God.
Siku moja Yesu alikwenda mlimani kusali, akakesha huko usiku kucha akimwomba Mungu.
13 When it was day, he called his disciples to him, and he chose twelve of them, whom he also named apostles.
Kesho yake aliwaita wanafunzi wake, na miongoni mwao akachagua kumi na wawili ambao aliwaita mitume:
14 The names of the apostles were Simon (whom he also named Peter) and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
Simoni (ambaye Yesu alimpa jina Petro) na Andrea ndugu yake, Yakobo na Yohane, Filipo na Bartholomayo,
15 Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called the Zealot,
Mathayo na Thoma, Yakobo wa Alfayo na Simoni (aliyeitwa Zelote),
16 Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
Yuda wa Yakobo na Yuda Iskarioti ambaye baadaye alikuwa msaliti.
17 Then Jesus came down the mountain with them and stood on a level place with a large crowd of his disciples and a large number of the people from Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon.
Baada ya kushuka mlimani pamoja na mitume, Yesu alisimama mahali palipokuwa tambarare. Hapo palikuwa na kundi kubwa la wanafunzi wake na umati wa watu waliotoka pande zote za Yudea na Yerusalemu na pwani ya Tiro na Sidoni. Wote walifika kumsikiliza Yesu na kuponywa magonjwa yao.
18 They had come to listen to him and to be healed of their diseases. People who were troubled with unclean spirits were also healed.
Aliwaponya pia wote waliokuwa wanasumbuliwa na pepo wachafu.
19 Everyone in the crowd kept trying to touch him because power to heal was coming out from him, and he healed them all.
Watu wote walitaka kumgusa, kwa maana nguvu ilikuwa inatoka ndani yake na kuwaponya wote.
20 Then he looked at his disciples, and said, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
Yesu akawageukia wanafunzi wake, akasema: “Heri ninyi mlio maskini, maana Ufalme wa Mungu ni wenu.
21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
Heri ninyi mnaosikia njaa sasa, maana baadaye mtashiba. Heri ninyi mnaolia sasa, maana baadaye mtacheka kwa furaha.
22 Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.
“Heri yenu ninyi iwapo watu watawachukia, watawatenga, watawatukana na kuwaharibieni jina kwa ajili ya Mwana wa Mtu!
23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because you will surely have a great reward in heaven, for their ancestors treated the prophets in the same way.
Wakati hayo yatakapotokea, furahini na kucheza, maana hakika tuzo lenu ni kubwa mbinguni. Kwa maana wazee wao waliwatendea manabii vivyo hivyo.
24 But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.
Lakini ole wenu ninyi mlio matajiri, maana mmekwisha pata faraja yenu.
25 Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry later. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep later.
Ole wenu ninyi mnaoshiba sasa, maana baadaye mtasikia njaa. Ole wenu ninyi mnaocheka kwa furaha sasa, maana baadaye mtaomboleza na kulia.
26 Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.
Ole wenu ninyi iwapo watu wote wanawasifu, maana wazee wao waliwafanyia manabii wa uongo vivyo hivyo.
27 But I say to you who are listening, love your enemies and do good to those who hate you.
“Lakini nawaambieni ninyi mnaonisikiliza: wapendeni adui zenu, watendeeni mema wale wanaowachukieni.
28 Bless those who curse you and pray for those who mistreat you.
Watakieni baraka wale wanaowalaani, na waombeeni wale wanaowatendea vibaya.
29 To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer him also the other. If someone takes away your coat, do not withhold your tunic either.
Mtu akikupiga shavu moja mgeuzie na la pili. Mtu akikunyang'anya koti lako mwachie pia shati lako.
30 Give to everyone who asks you. If someone takes away something that belongs to you, do not ask him to give it back to you.
Yeyote anayekuomba mpe, na mtu akikunyang'anya mali yako usimtake akurudishie.
31 As you want people to do to you, you should do the same to them.
Watendeeni wengine kama mnavyotaka wawatendee ninyi.
32 If you only love people who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
“Na ikiwa mnawapenda tu wale wanaowapenda ninyi, je, mtapata tuzo gani? Hakuna! Kwa maana hata wenye dhambi huwapenda wale wanaowapenda wao.
33 If you do good only to people who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
Tena, kama mkiwatendea mema wale tu wanaowatendeeni mema, mtapata tuzo gani? Hata wenye dhambi hufanya vivyo hivyo!
34 If you only lend to people from whom you expect to be repaid, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount.
Na kama mnawakopesha wale tu mnaotumaini watawalipeni, je, mtapata tuzo gani? Hata wenye dhambi huwakopesha wenye dhambi wenzao ili warudishiwe kima kilekile!
35 But love your enemies and do good to them. Lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he himself is kind toward unthankful and evil people.
Ila nyinyi wapendeni adui zenu, na kuwatendea mema; kopesheni bila kutazamia malipo, na tuzo lenu litakuwa kubwa, nanyi mtakuwa watoto wa Mungu aliye juu. Kwa maana yeye ni mwema kwa wale wasio na shukrani na walio wabaya.
36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
Muwe na huruma kama Baba yenu alivyo na huruma.
37 Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven.
“Msiwahukumu wengine, nanyi hamtahukumiwa; msiwalaumu wengine, nanyi hamtalaumiwa; wasameheni wengine, nanyi mtasamehewa.
38 Give, and it will be given to you. A generous amount—pressed down, shaken together and spilling over—will pour into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”
Wapeni wengine wanavyohitaji, nanyi mtapewa. Naam, mtapokea mikononi mwenu kipimo kilichojaa, kikashindiliwa na kusukwasukwa hata kumwagika. Kwa maana kipimo kilekile mnachotumia kwa wengine ndicho ambacho Mungu atatumia kwenu.”
39 Then he also told them a parable. “Can a blind person guide another blind person? If he did, they would both fall into a pit, would they not?
Akawaambia mfano huu: “Je, kipofu anaweza kumwongoza kipofu mwenzake? La! Wote wataanguka shimoni.
40 A disciple is not greater than his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.
Mwanafunzi hamshindi mwalimu wake, lakini kila mwanafunzi akisha hitimu huwa kama mwalimu wake.
41 Why do you look at the tiny piece of straw that is in your brother's eye, but you do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
Unawezaje kukiona kibanzi kilicho katika jicho la mwenzio, usione boriti iliyo katika jicho lako mwenyewe?
42 How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the piece of straw that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not even see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the piece of straw that is in your brother's eye.
Au, unawezaje kumwambia mwenzako, Ndugu, ngoja nikuondoe kibanzi katika jicho lako, na huku huioni boriti iliyoko katika jicho lako mwenyewe? Mnafiki wewe! Toa kwanza boriti iliyoko jichoni mwako, na hivyo utaona sawasawa kiasi cha kuweza kuondoa kibanzi kilicho katika jicho la ndugu yako.
43 For there is no good tree that produces rotten fruit, nor is there a rotten tree that produces good fruit.
“Mti mwema hauzai matunda mabaya, wala mti mbaya hauzai matunda mazuri.
44 For each tree is known by the kind of fruit it produces. For people do not gather figs from a thornbush, nor do they gather grapes from a briar bush.
Watu huutambua mti kutokana na matunda yake. Ni wazi kwamba watu hawachumi tini katika michongoma, wala hawachumi zabibu katika mbigili.
45 The good man from the good treasure of his heart produces what is good, and the evil man from the evil treasure of his heart produces what is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
Mtu mwema hutoa yaliyo mema kutoka katika hazina bora iliyo moyoni mwake; na mtu mbaya hutoa yaliyo mabaya katika hazina mbaya iliyo moyoni mwake, kwa maana mtu huongea kutokana na yale yaliyojaa moyoni mwake.
46 Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and yet you do not obey the things that I say?
“Mbona mwaniita Bwana, Bwana, na huku hamtimizi yale ninayosema?
47 Every person who comes to me and hears my words and obeys them, I will tell you what he is like.
Nitawapeni mfano unaofaa kuonyesha alivyo yeyote yule anayekuja kwangu, akasikia maneno yangu na kuyatimiza:
48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep in the ground and built the house's foundation on solid rock. When a flood came, the torrent of water flowed against that house, but could not shake it, because it had been well built.
Huyo anafanana na mtu ajengaye nyumba, ambaye amechimba chini na kuweka msingi wake juu ya mwamba; kukatokea mafuriko ya mto, mkondo wa maji ukaipiga nyumba ile, lakini haukuweza kuitikisa, kwa sababu ilikuwa imejengwa imara.
49 But the person who hears my words and does not obey them, he is like a man who built a house on top of the ground without a foundation. When the torrent of water flowed against that house, it immediately collapsed, and the ruin of that house was complete.”
Lakini yeyote anayesikia maneno yangu lakini asifanye chochote, huyo anafanana na mtu aliyejenga nyumba juu ya udongo, bila msingi. Mafuriko ya mto yakatokea, mkondo wa maji ukaipiga nyumba ile, ikaanguka na kuharibika kabisa!”
