Matthew 10
1 And He called unto Him his twelve disciples, and gave them power over impure spirits, even to cast them out; and to cure all diseases and every malady whatsoever.
Yesu aliwaita wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili, akawapa uwezo wa kutoa pepo wachafu na kuponya magonjwa na maradhi yote.
2 Now these are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother; Philip, and Bartholomew;
Majina ya hao mitume kumi na wawili ni haya: wa kwanza ni Simoni aitwae Petro, na Andrea ndugu yake; Yakobo mwana wa Zebedayo, na Yohane ndugu yake;
3 Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was surnamed Thaddeus;
Filipo na Bartholomayo, Thoma na Mathayo aliyekuwa mtoza ushuru; Yakobo mwana wa Alfayo, na Thadayo;
4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, even he that betrayed Him.
Simoni Mkanaani, na Yuda Iskarioti ambaye alimsaliti Yesu.
5 These twelve did Jesus send forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not among the gentiles, neither enter into any city of the Samaritans:
Yesu aliwatuma hao kumi na wawili na kuwapa maagizo haya: “Msiende kwa watu wa mataifa mengine, wala msiingie katika mji wa Wasamaria.
6 but go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Ila nendeni kwa watu wa Israeli waliopotea kama kondoo.
7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand: and in confirmation of your doctrine heal the sick,
Mnapokwenda hubirini hivi: Ufalme wa mbinguni umekaribia.
8 cleanse the leprous, raise the dead, cast out demons; and as ye have received freely, freely give.
Ponyeni wagonjwa, fufueni wafu, takaseni wenye ukoma, toeni pepo. Mmepewa bure, toeni bure.
9 Take not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses: take no bag for your journey,
Msichukue mifukoni mwenu dhahabu, wala fedha, wala sarafu za shaba.
10 nor two coats, nor shoes, nor weapons; for the laborer is worthy of his food.
Msichukue mkoba wa kuombea njiani, wala koti la ziada, wala viatu, wala fimbo. Maana mfanyakazi anastahili riziki yake.
11 And into whatsoever city or town ye enter, inquire who in it is a worthy person, and there remain till ye leave the place.
“Mkiingia katika mji wowote au kijiji, tafuteni humo mtu yeyote aliye tayari kuwakaribisheni, na kaeni naye mpaka mtakapoondoka mahali hapo.
12 And when ye come into the house, salute them:
Mnapoingia nyumbani wasalimuni wenyeji wake.
13 and if the family be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if they be not worthy, your salutation shall return to you.
Kama wenyeji wa nyumba hiyo wakiipokea salamu hiyo, basi, amani yenu itakaa pamoja nao. Lakini ikiwa hawaipokei, basi amani yenu itawarudia ninyi.
14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hearken to your words; when ye come out of that house or city, shake off the very dust of your feet:
Kama mtu yeyote atakataa kuwakaribisheni au kuwasikilizeni, basi mtokapo katika nyumba hiyo au mji huo, yakung'uteni mavumbi miguuni mwenu kama onyo kwao.
15 for I tell you verily, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha, in the day of judgement, than for that city.
Kweli nawaambieni, Siku ya hukumu mji huo utapata adhabu kubwa kuliko ile iliyoipata miji ya Sodoma na Gomora.
16 Behold I send you forth as sheep into the midst of wolves: be ye therefore prudent as serpents, and innocent as doves.
“Sasa, mimi nawatuma ninyi kama kondoo kati ya mbwa mwitu. Muwe na busara kama nyoka, na wapole kama njiwa.
17 Beware of evil men; for they will deliver you up to their councils, and will scourge you in their synagogues.
Jihadharini na watu, maana watawapeleka ninyi mahakamani na kuwapiga viboko katika masunagogi yao.
18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings on my account, for a testimony to them and to the nations:
Mtapelekwa mbele ya watawala na wafalme kwa sababu yangu, mpate kutangaza Habari Njema kwao na kwa mataifa.
19 but when they take you up, be not sollicitous how, or what ye shall say; for ye shall be taught in that very instant what ye shall speak: for it is not you that speak,
Basi, watakapowapeleka ninyi mahakamani, msiwe na wasiwasi mtasema nini au namna gani; wakati utakapofika, mtapewa la kusema.
20 but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh by you.
Maana si ninyi mtakaosema, bali ni Roho wa Baba yenu asemaye ndani yenu.
21 Brother shall betray his brother to death, and the father his child: and children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death:
“Ndugu atamsaliti ndugu yake auawe, na baba atamsaliti mwanawe, nao watoto watawashambulia wazazi wao na kuwaua.
22 and ye shall be hated by all men for professing my name; but he that perseveres to the end shall certainly be saved.
Watu wote watawachukieni kwa sababu ya jina langu. Lakini atakayevumilia mpaka mwisho, ataokolewa.
23 But when they persecute you in one city, flee into another: for verily I tell you, ye shall not finish your commission through the cities of Israel, before the Son of man shall come.
“Watu wakiwadhulumu katika mji mmoja, kimbilieni mji mwingine. Kweli nawaambieni, hamtamaliza ziara yenu katika miji yote ya Israeli kabla Mwana wa Mtu hajafika.
24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord:
“Mwanafunzi si mkuu kuliko mwalimu wake, wala mtumishi si mkuu kuliko bwana wake.
25 it is sufficient sure for the disciple that he be treated as his master, and the servant as his lord. If then they call the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more his domestics?
Yatosha mwanafunzi kuwa kama mwalimu wake, na mtumishi kuwa kama bwana wake. Ikiwa wamemwita mkubwa wa jamaa Beelzebuli, je hawatawaita watu wengine wa jamaa hiyo majina mabaya zaidi?
26 Be not therefore afraid of them; for there is nothing hid, that shall not be revealed; nor secret, that shall not be made known.
“Basi, msiwaogope watu hao. Kila kilichofunikwa kitafunuliwa, na kila kilichofichwa kitafichuliwa.
27 What I say to you in private, declare ye in public: and what ye hear as in the ear, preach ye as from the house-tops.
Ninalowaambieni ninyi katika giza, lisemeni katika mwanga; na jambo mlilosikia likinong'onezwa, litangazeni hadharani.
28 And be not afraid of them, who can only kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him, who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Msiwaogope wale wauao mwili, lakini hawawezi kuiua roho. Afadhali zaidi kumwogopa yule awezaye kuuangamiza mwili pamoja na roho katika moto wa Jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall to the ground without the will of your Father:
Shomoro wawili huuzwa kwa senti tano. Lakini hata mmoja wao haanguki chini bila kibali cha Baba yenu.
30 and even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
Lakini kwa upande wenu, hata nywele za vichwa vyenu zimehesabiwa zote.
31 Therefore be not afraid, ye are of more worth than many sparrows.
Kwa hiyo msiogope; ninyi mu wa thamani kuliko shomoro wengi.
32 Whosoever then shall own me before men, I also will own him before my Father, who is in heaven:
“Kila mtu anayekiri hadharani kwamba yeye ni wangu, mimi pia nitamkiri mbele ya Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.
33 but whosoever shall disown me before men, him will I also disown before my Father who is in heaven.
Lakini yeyote atakayenikana hadharani, nami nitamkana mbele ya Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to bring peace but division.
“Msidhani kwamba nimekuja kuleta amani duniani. Sikuja kuleta amani bali upanga.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law:
Maana nimekuja kuleta mafarakano kati ya mtu na baba yake, kati ya binti na mama yake, kati ya mkwe na mkwe wake.
36 and those of a man's own family shall be his enemies.
Na maadui wa mtu ni watu wa nyumbani mwake.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me:
“Ampendaye baba au mama yake kuliko anipendavyo mimi, hanistahili. Ampendaye mwana au binti kuliko mimi, hanistahili.
38 and he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
Mtu asiyechukua msalaba wake na kunifuata, hanistahili.
39 He that would save his life shall lose it; and he, that loseth his life for my sake, shall find it.
Anayeyashikilia maisha yake, atayapoteza; lakini anayeyapoteza maisha yake kwa ajili yangu, atayapata.
40 He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth Him that sent me.
“Anayewakaribisha ninyi, ananikaribisha mimi; na anayenikaribisha mimi, anamkaribisha yule aliyenituma.
41 He that receiveth a prophet as a prophet, shall have a prophet's reward: and he that receiveth a righteous man as such, shall receive a righteous man's reward.
Anayemkaribisha nabii kwa sababu ni nabii, atapokea tuzo la nabii. Anayemkaribisha mtu mwema kwa sababu ni mtu mwema, atapokea tuzo la mtu mwema.
42 And whosoever shall give to one of these mean persons but a cup of cold water to drink, as my disciple, I assure you, he shall not lose his reward.
Kweli nawaambieni, yeyote atakayempa mmojawapo wa wadogo hawa kikombe cha maji baridi kwa sababu ni mfuasi wangu, hatakosa kamwe kupata tuzo lake.”
