Luka 6
1 Ikawa siku moja ya Sabato Yesu alikuwa akipita katika mashamba ya nafaka, nao wanafunzi wake wakaanza kuvunja masuke ya nafaka, wakayafikicha kwa mikono yao na kula punje zake.
It happened that on a Sabbath he was going through the wheat-fields. His disciples were picking the ears and eating the wheat, rubbing it out with their hands.
2 Baadhi ya Mafarisayo wakawauliza, “Mbona mnafanya mambo yasiyo halali kufanywa siku ya Sabato?”
And some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what it is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?"
3 Yesu akawajibu, “Je, ninyi hamjasoma kamwe alivyofanya Daudi wakati yeye na wenzake walikuwa na njaa?
"Have you never read," answered Jesus, "what David did when he and his followers were hungry?
4 Aliingia ndani ya nyumba ya Mungu, akaichukua na kuila ile mikate iliyowekwa wakfu, ambayo ni halali kuliwa na makuhani peke yao. Naye pia akawapa wenzake.”
"How he entered into God’s house and took and ate the Presented Loaves, and gave some to his followers, loaves which none must eat but the priests?
5 Yesu akawaambia, “Mwana wa Adamu ndiye Bwana wa Sabato.”
"THE SON OF MAN," he told them, "IS LORD EVEN OVER THE SABBATH."
6 Ikawa siku nyingine ya Sabato, Yesu aliingia ndani ya sinagogi na akawa anafundisha. Huko palikuwa na mtu ambaye mkono wake wa kuume ulikuwa umepooza.
On another Sabbath he went into a synagogue and was teaching; and there was there a man whose right hand was withered.
7 Mafarisayo na walimu wa sheria walikuwa wakitafuta sababu ya kumshtaki Yesu. Kwa hivyo wakawa wanamwangalia sana ili waone kama ataponya katika siku ya Sabato.
Now the Scribes and Pharisees kept watching to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might be able to bring on accusations to him.
8 Lakini Yesu alijua mawazo yao, hivyo akamwambia yule mwenye mkono uliopooza, “Inuka usimame mbele ya watu wote.” Hivyo yule mtu akainuka, akasimama mbele yao wote.
He was all along aware of their thoughts; and he said to the man with the withered hand, "Rise, and stand there in the midst."
9 Ndipo Yesu akawaambia wale walimu wa sheria na Mafarisayo, “Nawauliza ninyi, ni lipi lililo halali siku ya Sabato? Ni kutenda mema au kutenda mabaya? Ni kuokoa maisha au kuyaangamiza?”
So he rose and stood. Then Jesus said to them. "I ask you whether it is lawful on the Sabbath Day to do good or to do harm? To save a life or to destroy it?"
10 Akawatazama watu wote waliokuwepo, kisha akamwambia yule aliyepooza mkono, “Nyoosha mkono wako!” Akaunyoosha na mkono wake ukaponywa kabisa.
Then he looked round about on them in anger, and said to him, "Stretch out your hand!"
11 Wale wakuu wakakasirika sana, wakashauriana wao kwa wao ni nini watakachomtendea Yesu.
He did so; and his hand was restored. But they were filled with fury, and they began to talk over together what they could do to Jesus.
12 Ikawa katika siku hizo Yesu alikwenda mlimani kuomba, akakesha usiku kucha akimwomba Mungu.
It happened about that time that he went out into the mountain to pray. He continued all night in prayer to God.
13 Kulipopambazuka, akawaita wanafunzi wake, naye akachagua kumi na wawili, ambao pia aliwaita mitume:
And when day dawned he called his disciples, and from among them he selected twelve, whom also he called Apostles missionaries.
14 Simoni aliyemwita Petro, Andrea nduguye, Yakobo, Yohana, Filipo, Bartholomayo,
They were Simon, whom he had also called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John;
15 Mathayo, Tomaso, Yakobo mwana wa Alfayo, Simoni aliyeitwa Zelote,
Philip and Bartholomew; Mathew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon called the Zealot;
16 Yuda mwana wa Yakobo, na Yuda Iskariote ambaye alikuwa msaliti.
Jude the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who was the traitor.
17 Akashuka pamoja nao, akasimama mahali penye uwanja tambarare. Hapo palikuwa na idadi kubwa ya wanafunzi wake na umati mkubwa wa watu kutoka sehemu zote za Uyahudi, kutoka Yerusalemu, na kutoka pwani ya Tiro na Sidoni.
With these he came down till he reached a level place, where there was a great crowd of his disciples and a great many people from all Judea and Jerusalem and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon. These came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases.
18 Walikuwa wamekuja kumsikiliza na kuponywa magonjwa yao. Wale waliokuwa wakiteswa na pepo wachafu akawaponya.
Those who were tormented by unclean spirits were healed also.
19 Watu wote walikuwa wanajitahidi kumgusa kwa sababu nguvu zilikuwa zikimtoka na kuwaponya wote.
The whole crowd were trying to touch him, because power emanated from him and cured them all.
20 Akawatazama wanafunzi wake, akasema: “Mmebarikiwa ninyi mlio maskini, kwa sababu Ufalme wa Mungu ni wenu.
Then raising his eyes upon his disciples he began to say to them. "Blessed are you poor, For the kingdom of God is yours.
21 Mmebarikiwa ninyi mlio na njaa sasa, kwa sababu mtashibishwa. Mmebarikiwa ninyi mnaolia sasa, kwa sababu mtacheka.
"Blessed are you who are hungry now, For you shall be filled. "Blessed are you who are wailing now, For you shall laugh.
22 Mmebarikiwa ninyi, watu watakapowachukia, watakapowatenga na kuwatukana na kulikataa jina lenu kama neno ovu, kwa ajili ya Mwana wa Adamu.
"Blessed are you when men shall hate you, And excommunicate you and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil because of the Son of man.
23 “Furahini na kurukaruka kwa shangwe, kwa sababu thawabu yenu ni kubwa mbinguni, kwa kuwa hivyo ndivyo baba zao walivyowatenda manabii.
"Rejoice in that day and exult, For your reward is great in heaven; For even so did their fathers to the prophets.
24 “Lakini ole wenu ninyi mlio matajiri, kwa sababu mmekwisha kupokea faraja yenu.
"But woe to you rich! For you already have received your consolation.
25 Ole wenu ninyi mlioshiba sasa, maana mtaona njaa. Ole wenu ninyi mnaocheka sasa, maana mtaomboleza na kulia.
"Woe unto you who are full now! For you shall suffer hunger. "Woe to you who are laughing now! For you shall wail and weep.
26 Ole wenu watu watakapowasifu, kwani ndivyo baba zao walivyowasifu manabii wa uongo.
"Woe to you when all men shall speak well of you! For even so did their fathers to the false prophets.
27 “Lakini nawaambia ninyi mnaonisikia: Wapendeni adui zenu. Watendeeni mema wanaowachukia.
"But to you who are listening to me I say, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 Wabarikini wale wanaowalaani, waombeeni wale wanaowatendea mabaya.
Bless those who curse you, pray for those who calumniate you.
29 Kama mtu akikupiga shavu moja, mgeuzie na la pili pia. Mtu akikunyangʼanya koti lako, usimzuie kuchukua joho pia.
To him who gives you a blow on the jaw Turn the other jaw also; And from him who is robbing you of your cloak Withhold not your coat also.
30 Mpe kila akuombaye, na kama mtu akichukua mali yako usitake akurudishie.
Give to every one who asks you; And do not demand your goods back from him who is taking them away.
31 Watendeeni wengine kama ambavyo mngetaka wawatendee ninyi.
And as you would like men to do to you, So do you also to them.
32 “Kama mkiwapenda tu wale wanaowapenda, mwapata sifa gani? Hata ‘wenye dhambi’ huwapenda wale wawapendao.
"If you love those who love you what credit is it to you? Why even sinners love those who love them.
33 Tena mkiwatendea mema wale tu wanaowatendea ninyi mema, mwapata sifa gani? Hata ‘wenye dhambi’ hufanya vivyo hivyo.
"And if you are kind to those who are kind to you, what credit is it to you? Even sinners do the same.
34 Tena mnapowakopesha wale tu mnaotegemea wawalipe, mwapata sifa gani? Hata ‘wenye dhambi’ huwakopesha ‘wenye dhambi’ wenzao wakitarajia kulipwa mali yao yote.
"And if you lend to those from whom you are hoping to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, so as to get as much back.
35 Lakini wapendeni adui zenu, watendeeni mema, wakopesheni bila kutegemea kurudishiwa mlichokopesha. Ndipo thawabu yenu itakapokuwa kubwa, nanyi mtakuwa wana wa Aliye Juu Sana, kwa sababu yeye ni mwema kwa watu wasio na shukrani na kwa wale waovu.
"But you must love even your enemies and be kind to them, And lend, despairing of no man. Then your reward will be great, And you will be the sons of the Most High; For he is kind even to the ungrateful and to the evil.
36 Kuweni na huruma, kama Baba yenu alivyo na huruma.
"Do you therefore be merciful, As your Father is merciful.
37 “Msihukumu, nanyi hamtahukumiwa. Msilaumu, nanyi hamtalaumiwa. Sameheni, nanyi mtasamehewa.
"Do not judge, and you shall not be judged; Do not condemn, and you shall not be condemned;
38 Wapeni watu vitu, nanyi mtapewa. Kipimo cha kujaa na kushindiliwa na kusukwasukwa hata kumwagika, ndicho watu watakachowapa vifuani mwenu. Kwa kuwa kipimo kile mpimacho, ndicho mtakachopimiwa.”
"Pardon, and you shall be pardoned; Give, and gifts shall be given to you; Full measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, they shall pour into your bosom. For with what measure you measure, they will measure back to you."
39 Pia akawapa mfano akasema, “Je, kipofu aweza kumwongoza kipofu? Je, wote wawili hawatatumbukia shimoni?
He also told them a parable. "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?
40 Mwanafunzi hawezi kumzidi mwalimu wake, ila yule aliyehitimu aweza kuwa kama mwalimu wake.
"There is no disciple who is above his master; But every one when he is completely trained will be like his master.
41 “Mbona unatazama kibanzi kilicho ndani ya jicho la ndugu yako, wala huoni boriti iliyo ndani ya jicho lako mwenyewe?
"And why do you look at the splinter that is in your brother’s eye, but never consider the beam that is in your own eye?
42 Utawezaje kumwambia ndugu yako, ‘Ndugu yangu, acha nitoe kibanzi kilicho ndani ya jicho lako,’ wakati wewe mwenyewe huoni boriti iliyo ndani ya jicho lako? Ewe mnafiki, ondoa boriti ndani ya jicho lako kwanza, ndipo utaweza kuona dhahiri jinsi ya kuondoa kibanzi kilicho ndani ya jicho la ndugu yako.
"Or how can you say to your brother. "Brother, allow me to pull that splinter out of your eye," when you do not see the beam in your own eye? Hypocrite! Take out first the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the splinter from your brother’s eye.
43 “Hakuna mti mzuri uzaao matunda mabaya, wala hakuna mti mbaya uzaao matunda mazuri.
"For there is not good tree which bears worthless fruit, nor again any worthless tree which bears good fruit; for each tree is known by its own fruit.
44 Kila mti hujulikana kwa matunda yake. Kwa maana watu hawachumi tini kwenye miiba, wala zabibu kwenye michongoma.
"You do not gather figs from thorns, and grapes are not plucked from a bramble-bush.
45 Vivyo hivyo mtu mwema hutoa mambo mema kutoka kwenye hazina ya moyo wake, naye mtu mwovu hutoa mambo maovu kutoka kwenye hazina ya moyo wake. Kwa kuwa mtu hunena kwa kinywa chake yale yaliyoujaza moyo wake.
"The good man out of the good treasure-house of his heart brings forth good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure-house of his heart brings forth evil; for the mouth speaks out of the abundance of the heart.
46 “Kwa nini mnaniita, ‘Bwana, Bwana,’ nanyi hamfanyi ninayowaambia?
"And why are you calling me Lord, Lord, and not doing what I tell you?
47 Nitawaonyesha jinsi alivyo mtu yule anayekuja kwangu na kusikia maneno yangu na kuyatenda.
"I will show whom the man that comes to me, and listens to my works, and does them, is like.
48 Yeye ni kama mtu aliyejenga nyumba, akachimba chini sana, na kuweka msingi kwenye mwamba. Mafuriko yalipokuja, maji ya ghafula yaliipiga ile nyumba, lakini haikutikisika, kwa sababu ilikuwa imejengwa vizuri.
"He is like a man who is building a house who digged and went deep and laid a foundation upon rock. And, when a flood came, the torrent dashed against that house, but could not move, because it had been founded upon rock.
49 Lakini yeye anayesikia maneno yangu wala asiyatende, ni kama mtu aliyejenga nyumba juu ya ardhi bila kuweka msingi. Mafuriko yalipoikumba nyumba ile, ikaanguka mara na kubomoka kabisa.”
"But he who listens but does not do, is like a man who built a house upon the soil, without foundations, against which the torrent burst, and at once it fell in, and the ruin of that house was great."
