Κατα Λουκαν 16
1 Ἔλεγεν δὲ καὶ πρὸς τοὺς μαθητάς, “Ἄνθρωπός τις ἦν πλούσιος, ὃς εἶχεν οἰκονόμον, καὶ οὗτος διεβλήθη αὐτῷ ὡς διασκορπίζων τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ.
Yesu aliwaambia wanafunzi wake: “Tajiri mmoja alikuwa na karani wake. Huyu karani alichongewa kwamba alitumia ovyo mali ya tajiri wake.
2 Καὶ φωνήσας αὐτὸν, εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ‘Τί τοῦτο ἀκούω περὶ σοῦ; Ἀπόδος τὸν λόγον τῆς οἰκονομίας σου, οὐ γὰρ δύνῃ ἔτι οἰκονομεῖν.’
Yule tajiri akamwita akamwambia: Ni mambo gani haya ninayosikia juu yako? Toa hesabu ya mapato na matumizi ya mali yangu, kwa maana huwezi kuwa karani tena.
3 Εἶπεν δὲ ἐν ἑαυτῷ ὁ οἰκονόμος, ‘Τί ποιήσω, ὅτι ὁ κύριός μου ἀφαιρεῖται τὴν οἰκονομίαν ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ; Σκάπτειν οὐκ ἰσχύω, ἐπαιτεῖν αἰσχύνομαι.
Yule karani akafikiri: Bwana wangu amenifukuza kazi ya ukarani; nitafanya nini? Kwenda kulima siwezi; kwenda kuombaomba kama maskini ni aibu.
4 Ἔγνων τί ποιήσω, ἵνα ὅταν μετασταθῶ ἐκ τῆς οἰκονομίας, δέξωνταί με εἰς τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν.’
Naam, najua la kufanya, ili nitakapofukuzwa kazi, watu waweze kunikaribisha nyumbani kwao.
5 Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος ἕνα ἕκαστον τῶν χρεοφειλετῶν τοῦ κυρίου ἑαυτοῦ, ἔλεγεν τῷ πρώτῳ, ‘Πόσον ὀφείλεις τῷ κυρίῳ μου;’
Basi, akawaita wadeni wa bwana wake, mmoja mmoja, akamwambia yule wa kwanza: Unadaiwa kiasi gani na bwana wangu?
6 Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ‘Ἑκατὸν βάτους ἐλαίου.’ Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ‘Δέξαι σου τὰ γράμματα καὶ καθίσας ταχέως γράψον πεντήκοντα.’
Yeye akamjibu: Mapipa mia ya mafuta ya zeituni. Yule karani akamwambia: Chukua hati yako ya deni, keti haraka, andika hamsini.
7 Ἔπειτα ἑτέρῳ εἶπεν, ‘Σὺ δὲ πόσον ὀφείλεις;’ Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ‘Ἑκατὸν κόρους σίτου.’ Λέγει αὐτῷ, ‘Δέξαι σου τὰ γράμματα καὶ γράψον ὀγδοήκοντα.’
Kisha akamwuliza mdeni mwingine: Wewe unadaiwa kiasi gani? Yeye akamjibu: Magunia mia ya ngano. Yule karani akamwambia: Chukua hati yako ya deni, andika themanini.
8 Καὶ ἐπῄνεσεν ὁ κύριος τὸν οἰκονόμον τῆς ἀδικίας, ὅτι φρονίμως ἐποίησεν. Ὅτι οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου φρονιμώτεροι ὑπὲρ τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ φωτὸς εἰς τὴν γενεὰν τὴν ἑαυτῶν εἰσιν. (aiōn g165)
“Basi, yule bwana akamsifu huyo karani asiye mwaminifu, kwa kuwa alitumia busara. Kwa maana watu wa dunia hii wana busara zaidi na mambo yao kuliko watu wa mwanga.” (aiōn g165)
9 Καὶ ἐγὼ ὑμῖν λέγω, ἑαυτοῖς ποιήσατε φίλους ἐκ τοῦ μαμωνᾶ τῆς ἀδικίας, ἵνα ὅταν ἐκλίπῃ, δέξωνται ὑμᾶς εἰς τὰς αἰωνίους σκηνάς. (aiōnios g166)
Naye Yesu akaendelea kusema, “Nami nawaambieni, jifanyieni marafiki kutokana na mali ya dunia, ili zitakapowaishieni, mweze kupokewa nao katika makao ya milele. (aiōnios g166)
10 Ὁ πιστὸς ἐν ἐλαχίστῳ, καὶ ἐν πολλῷ πιστός ἐστιν, καὶ ὁ ἐν ἐλαχίστῳ ἄδικος, καὶ ἐν πολλῷ ἄδικός ἐστιν.
Yeyote aliye mwaminifu katika mambo madogo, atakuwa mwaminifu katika mambo makubwa; na yeyote asiye mwaminifu katika mambo madogo, hatakuwa mwaminifu katika mambo makubwa.
11 Εἰ οὖν ἐν τῷ ἀδίκῳ μαμωνᾷ, πιστοὶ οὐκ ἐγένεσθε, τὸ ἀληθινὸν τίς ὑμῖν πιστεύσει;
Kama basi, ninyi si hamjawa waaminifu mali mbaya za dunia, ni nani atakayewakabidhi zile mali za kweli?
12 Καὶ εἰ ἐν τῷ ἀλλοτρίῳ, πιστοὶ οὐκ ἐγένεσθε, τὸ ὑμέτερον τίς ὑμῖν δώσει;
Na kama hamjakuwa waaminifu katika mali ya mtu mwingine, ni nani atakayewakabidhi mali yenu wenyewe?
13 Οὐδεὶς οἰκέτης δύναται δυσὶ κυρίοις δουλεύειν, ἢ γὰρ τὸν ἕνα μισήσει, καὶ τὸν ἕτερον ἀγαπήσει, ἢ ἑνὸς ἀνθέξεται, καὶ τοῦ ἑτέρου καταφρονήσει. Οὐ δύνασθε ˚Θεῷ δουλεύειν καὶ μαμωνᾷ.”
“Hakuna mtumishi awezaye kuwatumikia mabwana wawili; kwa maana atamchukia mmoja na kumpenda mwingine, au ataambatana na mmoja na kumdharau mwingine. Hamwezi kumtumikia Mungu na mali.”
14 Ἤκουον δὲ ταῦτα πάντα οἱ Φαρισαῖοι, φιλάργυροι ὑπάρχοντες, καὶ ἐξεμυκτήριζον αὐτόν.
Lakini Mafarisayo waliposikia hayo, kwa vile wao walikuwa wanapenda sana fedha, wakamdharau Yesu.
15 Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Ὑμεῖς ἐστε οἱ δικαιοῦντες ἑαυτοὺς ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὁ δὲ ˚Θεὸς γινώσκει τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν· ὅτι τὸ ἐν ἀνθρώποις ὑψηλὸν, βδέλυγμα ἐνώπιον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.
Hapo akawaambia, “Ninyi mnajifanya wema mbele ya watu, lakini Mungu anaijua mioyo yenu. Kwa maana kile kinachoonekana kuwa kitukufu mbele ya watu, Mungu anakiona kuwa takataka.
16 Ὁ νόμος καὶ οἱ προφῆται μέχρι Ἰωάννου· ἀπὸ τότε ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ εὐαγγελίζεται, καὶ πᾶς εἰς αὐτὴν βιάζεται.
“Sheria na maandishi ya manabii vilikuweko mpaka wakati wa Yohane mbatizaji. Tangu hapo, Ufalme wa Mungu unahubiriwa, na kila mmoja anauingia kwa nguvu.
17 Εὐκοπώτερον δέ ἐστιν τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν παρελθεῖν, ἢ τοῦ νόμου μίαν κεραίαν πεσεῖν.
Lakini ni rahisi zaidi mbingu na dunia kupita, kuliko hata herufi moja ya Sheria kufutwa.
18 Πᾶς ὁ ἀπολύων τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ γαμῶν ἑτέραν, μοιχεύει, καὶ πᾶς ὁ ἀπολελυμένην ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς γαμῶν, μοιχεύει.
“Yeyote anayemwacha mke wake na kuoa mwingine, anazini; na yeyote anayemwoa mwanamke aliyepewa talaka, anazini.
19 Ἄνθρωπος δέ τις ἦν πλούσιος, καὶ ἐνεδιδύσκετο πορφύραν καὶ βύσσον, εὐφραινόμενος καθʼ ἡμέραν λαμπρῶς.
“Palikuwa na mtu mmoja tajiri, ambaye alikuwa anavaa mavazi ya bei kubwa sana ya rangi ya zambarau, na ya kitani safi, na kufanya sherehe kila siku.
20 Πτωχὸς δέ τις ὀνόματι Λάζαρος, ἐβέβλητο πρὸς τὸν πυλῶνα αὐτοῦ, εἱλκωμένος
Kulikuwa pia na maskini mmoja jina lake Lazaro, aliyekuwa amejaa vidonda na alikuwa analazwa mlangoni pa nyumba ya huyo tajiri.
21 καὶ ἐπιθυμῶν χορτασθῆναι ἀπὸ τῶν πιπτόντων ἀπὸ τῆς τραπέζης τοῦ πλουσίου· ἀλλὰ καὶ οἱ κύνες ἐρχόμενοι ἐπέλειχον τὰ ἕλκη αὐτοῦ.
Lazaro alitamani kula makombo yaliyoanguka kutoka meza ya tajiri; na zaidi ya hayo, mbwa walikuwa wanakuja na kulamba vidonda vyake!
22 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἀποθανεῖν τὸν πτωχὸν, καὶ ἀπενεχθῆναι αὐτὸν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων εἰς τὸν κόλπον Ἀβραάμ. Ἀπέθανεν δὲ καὶ ὁ πλούσιος καὶ ἐτάφη.
“Ikatokea kwamba huyo maskini akafa, malaika wakamchukua, wakamweka karibu na Abrahamu. Na yule tajiri pia akafa, akazikwa.
23 Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἍΙδῃ ἐπάρας τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, ὑπάρχων ἐν βασάνοις, ὁρᾷ Ἀβραὰμ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν, καὶ Λάζαρον ἐν τοῖς κόλποις αὐτοῦ. (Hadēs g86)
Huyo tajiri, alikuwa na mateso makali huko kuzimu, akainua macho yake, akamwona Abrahamu kwa mbali na Lazaro karibu naye. (Hadēs g86)
24 Καὶ αὐτὸς φωνήσας εἶπεν, Πάτερ ‘Ἀβραάμ, ἐλέησόν με καὶ πέμψον Λάζαρον, ἵνα βάψῃ τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ δακτύλου αὐτοῦ ὕδατος, καὶ καταψύξῃ τὴν γλῶσσάν μου, ὅτι ὀδυνῶμαι ἐν τῇ φλογὶ ταύτῃ.’
Basi, akaita kwa sauti: Baba Abrahamu, nionee huruma; umtume Lazaro angalau achovye ncha ya kidole chake katika maji, auburudishe ulimi wangu, maana ninateseka mno katika moto huu.
25 Εἶπεν δὲ Ἀβραάμ, ‘Τέκνον, μνήσθητι ὅτι ἀπέλαβες τὰ ἀγαθά σου ἐν τῇ ζωῇ σου, καὶ Λάζαρος ὁμοίως τὰ κακά. Νῦν δὲ ὧδε παρακαλεῖται, σὺ δὲ ὀδυνᾶσαι.
Lakini Abrahamu akamjibu: Kumbuka mwanangu, kwamba ulipokea mema yako katika maisha, naye Lazaro akapokea mabaya. Sasa lakini, yeye anatulizwa, nawe unateswa.
26 Καὶ ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις, μεταξὺ ἡμῶν καὶ ὑμῶν χάσμα μέγα ἐστήρικται, ὅπως οἱ θέλοντες διαβῆναι ἔνθεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς μὴ δύνωνται, μηδὲ ἐκεῖθεν πρὸς ἡμᾶς διαπερῶσιν.’
Licha ya hayo, kati yetu na ninyi kumewekwa shimo kubwa, ili wanaotaka kuja kwenu kutoka huku wasiweze, wala wanaotaka kutoka kwenu kuja kwetu wasiweze.
27 Εἶπεν δέ, ‘Ἐρωτῶ σε οὖν Πάτερ, ἵνα πέμψῃς αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου,
Huyo aliyekuwa tajiri akasema: Basi baba, nakuomba umtume aende nyumbani kwa baba yangu,
28 ἔχω γὰρ πέντε ἀδελφούς, ὅπως διαμαρτύρηται αὐτοῖς, ἵνα μὴ καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔλθωσιν εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον τῆς βασάνου.’
maana ninao ndugu watano, ili awaonye wasije wakaja huku kwenye mateso.
29 Λέγει δὲ Ἀβραάμ, ‘Ἔχουσι Μωϋσέα καὶ τοὺς προφήτας· ἀκουσάτωσαν αὐτῶν.’
Lakini Abrahamu akamwambia: Ndugu zako wanao Mose na manabii; waache wawasikilize hao.
30 Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ‘Οὐχί, Πάτερ Ἀβραάμ, ἀλλʼ ἐάν τις ἀπὸ νεκρῶν πορευθῇ πρὸς αὐτοὺς, μετανοήσουσιν.’
Lakini yeye akasema: Sivyo baba Abrahamu, ila kama mtu atafufuka kutoka wafu na kuwaendea, watatubu.
31 Εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ, ‘Εἰ Μωϋσέως καὶ τῶν προφητῶν οὐκ ἀκούουσιν, οὐδʼ ἐάν τις ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῇ, πεισθήσονται.’”
Naye Abrahamu akasema: Kama hawawasikilizi Mose na manabii, hawatajali hata kama mtu angefufuka kutoka wafu.”
