Matthew 15
1 Then come unto Jesus do they from Jerusalem — scribes and Pharisees — saying,
Ndipo baadhi ya Mafarisayo na walimu wa sheria wakamjia Yesu kutoka Yerusalemu na kumuuliza,
2 'Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread.'
“Mbona wanafunzi wako wanakiuka mapokeo ya wazee? Kwa maana wao hawanawi mikono yao kabla ya kula!”
3 And he answering said to them, 'Wherefore also do ye transgress the command of God because of your tradition?
Yesu akawajibu, “Mbona ninyi mnavunja amri ya Mungu kwa ajili ya mapokeo yenu?
4 for God did command, saying, Honour thy father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother — let him die the death;
Kwa maana Mungu alisema, ‘Waheshimu baba yako na mama yako,’ na, ‘Yeyote amtukanaye baba yake au mama yake, na auawe.’
5 but ye say, Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering [is] whatever thou mayest be profited by me; —
Lakini ninyi mwafundisha kwamba mtu akimwambia baba yake au mama yake, ‘Kile ambacho ningeweza kukusaidia kimewekwa wakfu kwa Mungu,’
6 and he may not honour his father or his mother, and ye did set aside the command of God because of your tradition.
basi hana tena sababu ya kumheshimu baba yake nacho. Basi kwa ajili ya mafundisho yenu mnavunja amri ya Mungu.
7 'Hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
Ninyi wanafiki! Isaya alikuwa sawa alipotabiri juu yenu kwamba:
8 This people doth draw nigh to Me with their mouth, and with the lips it doth honour Me, but their heart is far off from Me;
“‘Watu hawa huniheshimu kwa midomo yao, lakini mioyo yao iko mbali nami.
9 and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings — commands of men.'
Huniabudu bure; nayo mafundisho yao ni maagizo ya wanadamu tu.’”
10 And having called near the multitude, he said to them, 'Hear and understand:
Yesu akaita ule umati wa watu, akawaambia, “Sikilizeni na mwelewe:
11 not that which is coming into the mouth doth defile the man, but that which is coming forth from the mouth, this defileth the man.'
kinachomfanya mtu kuwa najisi mbele za Mungu si kile kiingiacho kinywani mwake, bali ni kile kitokacho kinywani mwake.”
12 Then his disciples having come near, said to him, 'Hast thou known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?'
Kisha wanafunzi wake wakamjia na kumuuliza, “Je, unajua kwamba Mafarisayo walichukizwa sana waliposikia yale uliyosema?”
13 And he answering said, 'Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant shall be rooted up;
Akawajibu, “Kila pando ambalo Baba yangu wa mbinguni hakulipanda, litangʼolewa.
14 let them alone, guides they are — blind of blind; and if blind may guide blind, both into a ditch shall fall.'
Waacheni; wao ni viongozi vipofu, wanaoongoza vipofu. Kama kipofu akimwongoza kipofu mwenzake, wote wawili watatumbukia shimoni.”
15 And Peter answering said to him, 'Explain to us this simile.'
Petro akasema, “Tueleze maana ya huu mfano.”
16 And Jesus said, 'Are ye also yet without understanding?
Yesu akawauliza, “Je, bado ninyi hamfahamu?
17 do ye not understand that all that is going into the mouth doth pass into the belly, and into the drain is cast forth?
Je, hamwelewi kwamba chochote kiingiacho kinywani huenda tumboni, na hatimaye hutolewa nje kikiwa uchafu?
18 but the things coming forth from the mouth from the heart do come forth, and these defile the man;
Lakini kitokacho kinywani hutoka moyoni, na hiki ndicho kimtiacho mtu unajisi.
19 for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, evil speakings:
Kwa maana ndani ya moyo hutoka mawazo mabaya, uuaji, uzinzi, uasherati, wizi, ushahidi wa uongo na masingizio.
20 these are the things defiling the man; but to eat with unwashen hands doth not defile the man.'
Haya ndiyo yamtiayo mtu unajisi; lakini kula bila kunawa mikono hakumtii mtu unajisi.”
21 And Jesus having come forth thence, withdrew to the parts of Tyre and Sidon,
Yesu aliondoka mahali pale, akaenda sehemu za Tiro na Sidoni.
22 and lo, a woman, a Canaanitess, from those borders having come forth, did call to him, saying, 'Deal kindly with me, Sir — Son of David; my daughter is miserably demonized.'
Mwanamke mmoja Mkanaani aliyeishi sehemu jirani na hizo akaja kwake akilia, akasema, “Nihurumie, Ee Bwana, Mwana wa Daudi! Binti yangu amepagawa na pepo mchafu, na anateseka sana.”
23 And he did not answer her a word; and his disciples having come to him, were asking him, saying — 'Let her away, because she crieth after us;'
Lakini Yesu hakumjibu neno. Hivyo wanafunzi wake wakamwendea na kumsihi sana, wakisema, “Mwambie aende zake, kwa maana anaendelea kutupigia kelele.”
24 and he answering said, 'I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.'
Yesu akajibu, “Nimetumwa tu kwa ajili ya kondoo wa Israeli waliopotea.”
25 And having come, she was bowing to him, saying, 'Sir, help me;'
Lakini yule mwanamke akaja, akapiga magoti mbele ya Yesu, akasema, “Bwana, nisaidie!”
26 and he answering said, 'It is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast to the little dogs.'
Yesu akajibu, “Si haki kuchukua chakula cha watoto na kuwatupia mbwa.”
27 And she said, 'Yes, sir, for even the little dogs do eat of the crumbs that are falling from their lords' table;'
Yule mwanamke akajibu, “Ndiyo, Bwana, lakini hata mbwa hula makombo yanayoanguka kutoka kwenye meza za bwana zao.”
28 then answering, Jesus said to her, 'O woman, great [is] thy faith, let it be to thee as thou wilt;' and her daughter was healed from that hour.
Ndipo Yesu akamwambia, “Mwanamke, imani yako ni kubwa! Iwe kwako kama unavyotaka.” Naye binti yake akapona tangu saa ile.
29 And Jesus having passed thence, came nigh unto the sea of Galilee, and having gone up to the mountain, he was sitting there,
Yesu akaondoka na kwenda kando ya Bahari ya Galilaya. Kisha akapanda mlimani, akaketi huko.
30 and there came to him great multitudes, having with them lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they did cast them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them,
Umati mkubwa wa watu ukamjia, wakiwaleta vilema, vipofu, viwete, bubu na wengine wengi, wakawaweka miguuni pake; naye akawaponya.
31 so that the multitudes did wonder, seeing dumb ones speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
Hao watu wakashangaa walipoona bubu wakisema, vilema wakipona, viwete wakitembea na vipofu wakiona, wakamtukuza Mungu wa Israeli.
32 And Jesus having called near his disciples, said, 'I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they continue with me, and they have not what they may eat; and to let them away fasting I will not, lest they faint in the way.'
Kisha Yesu akawaita wanafunzi wake, akawaambia, “Ninauhurumia huu umati wa watu, kwa sababu sasa wamekuwa pamoja nami kwa muda wa siku tatu, na hawana chakula chochote. Nami sipendi kuwaaga wakiwa na njaa, wasije wakazimia njiani.”
33 And his disciples say to him, 'Whence to us, in a wilderness, so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?'
Wanafunzi wake wakasema, “Tutapata wapi mikate ya kutosha kuwalisha umati huu wa watu mkubwa namna hii, nasi tuko nyikani?”
34 And Jesus saith to them, 'How many loaves have ye?' and they said, 'Seven, and a few little fishes.'
Yesu akawauliza, “Mnayo mikate mingapi?” Wakamjibu, “Tunayo mikate saba na visamaki vichache.”
35 And he commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground,
Yesu akawaambia ule umati wa watu waketi chini.
36 and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he did break, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
Kisha akachukua ile mikate saba na wale samaki, naye akiisha kumshukuru Mungu, akavimega na kuwapa wanafunzi wake, nao wakawapa ule umati wa watu.
37 And they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full,
Wote wakala na kushiba. Baadaye wanafunzi wakakusanya vipande vilivyosalia, wakajaza vikapu saba.
38 and those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and children.
Idadi ya watu walikuwa wanaume 4,000, bila kuhesabu wanawake na watoto.
39 And having let away the multitudes, he went into the boat, and did come to the borders of Magdala.
Baada ya kuaga ule umati wa watu, Yesu aliingia katika mashua, akaenda sehemu za Magadani.
