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.
Now it happened on the second chief Sabbath that he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain, and ate, rubbing them in their hands.
2 Baadhi ya Mafarisayo wakawauliza, “Mbona mnafanya mambo yasiyo halali kufanywa siku ya Sabato?”
But some of the Pharisees said to them, "Why do you do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?"
3 Yesu akawajibu, “Je, ninyi hamjasoma kamwe alivyofanya Daudi wakati yeye na wenzake walikuwa na njaa?
Jesus, answering them, said, "Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;
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 the house of God, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?"
5 Yesu akawaambia, “Mwana wa Adamu ndiye Bwana wa Sabato.”
He said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of 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.
It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his 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.
The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against 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.
But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Rise up, and stand in the middle." He arose and stood.
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?”
Then 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?"
10 Akawatazama watu wote waliokuwepo, kisha akamwambia yule aliyepooza mkono, “Nyoosha mkono wako!” Akaunyoosha na mkono wake ukaponywa kabisa.
He looked around at them all, and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did, and his hand was restored.
11 Wale wakuu wakakasirika sana, wakashauriana wao kwa wao ni nini watakachomtendea Yesu.
But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.
12 Ikawa katika siku hizo Yesu alikwenda mlimani kuomba, akakesha usiku kucha akimwomba Mungu.
It happened in these days, that he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.
13 Kulipopambazuka, akawaita wanafunzi wake, naye akachagua kumi na wawili, ambao pia aliwaita mitume:
When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:
14 Simoni aliyemwita Petro, Andrea nduguye, Yakobo, Yohana, Filipo, Bartholomayo,
Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew;
15 Mathayo, Tomaso, Yakobo mwana wa Alfayo, Simoni aliyeitwa Zelote,
and Matthew and Thomas; and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon, who was called the Zealot;
16 Yuda mwana wa Yakobo, na Yuda Iskariote ambaye alikuwa msaliti.
and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a 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.
He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a large crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon,
18 Walikuwa wamekuja kumsikiliza na kuponywa magonjwa yao. Wale waliokuwa wakiteswa na pepo wachafu akawaponya.
who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.
19 Watu wote walikuwa wanajitahidi kumgusa kwa sababu nguvu zilikuwa zikimtoka na kuwaponya wote.
All the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.
20 Akawatazama wanafunzi wake, akasema: “Mmebarikiwa ninyi mlio maskini, kwa sababu Ufalme wa Mungu ni wenu.
He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said, "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God.
21 Mmebarikiwa ninyi mlio na njaa sasa, kwa sababu mtashibishwa. Mmebarikiwa ninyi mnaolia sasa, kwa sababu mtacheka.
Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will 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 people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake.
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 leap for joy, for look, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.
24 “Lakini ole wenu ninyi mlio matajiri, kwa sababu mmekwisha kupokea faraja yenu.
"But woe to you who are rich. For you have received your consolation.
25 Ole wenu ninyi mlioshiba sasa, maana mtaona njaa. Ole wenu ninyi mnaocheka sasa, maana mtaomboleza na kulia.
Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
26 Ole wenu watu watakapowasifu, kwani ndivyo baba zao walivyowasifu manabii wa uongo.
Woe when all people speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.
27 “Lakini nawaambia ninyi mnaonisikia: Wapendeni adui zenu. Watendeeni mema wanaowachukia.
"But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 Wabarikini wale wanaowalaani, waombeeni wale wanaowatendea mabaya.
bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.
29 Kama mtu akikupiga shavu moja, mgeuzie na la pili pia. Mtu akikunyangʼanya koti lako, usimzuie kuchukua joho pia.
To the person who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from the person who takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt either.
30 Mpe kila akuombaye, na kama mtu akichukua mali yako usitake akurudishie.
Give to everyone who asks you, and do not ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.
31 Watendeeni wengine kama ambavyo mngetaka wawatendee ninyi.
And as you would like people to do to you, you also do the same 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 that to you? For 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.
If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For 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.
If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.
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 love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.
36 Kuweni na huruma, kama Baba yenu alivyo na huruma.
Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.
37 “Msihukumu, nanyi hamtahukumiwa. Msilaumu, nanyi hamtalaumiwa. Sameheni, nanyi mtasamehewa.
Do not judge, and you won't be judged. Do not condemn, and you won't be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
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.”
"Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you."
39 Pia akawapa mfano akasema, “Je, kipofu aweza kumwongoza kipofu? Je, wote wawili hawatatumbukia shimoni?
He spoke a parable to them. "Can the blind guide the blind? Won't they both fall into a pit?
40 Mwanafunzi hawezi kumzidi mwalimu wake, ila yule aliyehitimu aweza kuwa kama mwalimu wake.
A disciple is not above the teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.
41 “Mbona unatazama kibanzi kilicho ndani ya jicho la ndugu yako, wala huoni boriti iliyo ndani ya jicho lako mwenyewe?
And why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log 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 tell your brother, 'Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite. First remove the log from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother's eye.
43 “Hakuna mti mzuri uzaao matunda mabaya, wala hakuna mti mbaya uzaao matunda mazuri.
For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that brings forth good fruit.
44 Kila mti hujulikana kwa matunda yake. Kwa maana watu hawachumi tini kwenye miiba, wala zabibu kwenye michongoma.
For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes 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 person out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil person out of the evil treasure brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.
46 “Kwa nini mnaniita, ‘Bwana, Bwana,’ nanyi hamfanyi ninayowaambia?
"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say?
47 Nitawaonyesha jinsi alivyo mtu yule anayekuja kwangu na kusikia maneno yangu na kuyatenda.
Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he 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 someone building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
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 hears, and does not do, is like someone who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."
