< Luka 7 >

1 Baada ya Yesu kumaliza kusema haya yote watu wakiwa wanamsikiliza, akaingia Kapernaumu.
Ἐπεὶ δὲ ἐπλήρωσε πάντα τὰ ῥήματα αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰς ἀκοὰς τοῦ λαοῦ, εἰσῆλθεν εἰς Καπερναούμ.
2 Mtumishi wa jemadari mmoja wa Kirumi, ambaye bwana wake alimthamini sana, alikuwa mgonjwa sana karibu kufa.
Ἑκατοντάρχου δέ τινος δοῦλος κακῶς ἔχων ἔμελλε τελευτᾷν, ὃς ἦν αὐτῷ ἔντιμος.
3 Jemadari huyo aliposikia habari za Yesu, aliwatuma wazee wa Kiyahudi kwake, wakamwomba aje kumponya mtumishi wa huyo jemadari.
Ἀκούσας δὲ περὶ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, ἀπέστειλε πρὸς αὐτὸν πρεσβυτέρους τῶν Ἰουδαίων, ἐρωτῶν αὐτὸν ὅπως ἐλθὼν διασώσῃ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ.
4 Wale wazee walipofika kwa Yesu, wakamsihi sana amsaidie yule jemadari wakisema, “Mtu huyu anastahili wewe umfanyie jambo hili,
Οἱ δέ, παραγενόμενοι πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν, παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν σπουδαίως, λέγοντες ὅτι ἄξιός ἐστιν ᾧ παρέξει τοῦτο·
5 kwa sababu analipenda taifa letu tena ametujengea sinagogi.”
ἀγαπᾷ γὰρ τὸ ἔθνος ἡμῶν, καὶ τὴν συναγωγὴν αὐτὸς ᾠκοδόμησεν ἡμῖν.
6 Hivyo Yesu akaongozana nao, lakini alipokuwa hayuko mbali na nyumbani, yule jemadari akatuma rafiki zake kumwambia Yesu, “Bwana, usijisumbue, kwani mimi sistahili wewe kuingia chini ya dari yangu.
Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἐπορεύετο σὺν αὐτοῖς. Ἤδη δὲ αὐτοῦ οὐ μακρὰν ἀπέχοντος ἀπὸ τῆς οἰκίας, ἔπεμψε πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ ἑκατόνταρχος φίλους, λέγων αὐτῷ, Κύριε, μὴ σκύλλου· οὐ γάρ εἰμι ἱκανὸς ἵνα ὑπὸ τὴν στέγην μου εἰσέλθῃς·
7 Ndiyo maana sikujiona hata ninastahili kuja kwako wewe. Lakini sema neno tu, naye mtumishi wangu atapona.
διὸ οὐδὲ ἐμαυτὸν ἠξίωσα πρός σε ἐλθεῖν· ἀλλ᾽ εἰπὲ λόγῳ, καὶ ἰαθήσεται ὁ παῖς μου.
8 Kwa kuwa mimi mwenyewe ni mtu niliyewekwa chini ya mamlaka, nikiwa na askari chini yangu. Nikimwambia huyu, ‘Nenda,’ yeye huenda; na mwingine nikimwambia, ‘Njoo,’ yeye huja. Nikimwambia mtumishi wangu, ‘Fanya hivi,’ yeye hufanya.”
Καὶ γὰρ ἐγὼ ἄνθρωπός εἰμι ὑπὸ ἐξουσίαν τασσόμενος, ἔχων ὑπ᾽ ἐμαυτὸν στρατιώτας, καὶ λέγω τούτῳ, Πορεύθητι, καὶ πορεύεται· καὶ ἄλλῳ, Ἔρχου, καὶ ἔρχεται· καὶ τῷ δούλῳ μου, Ποίησον τοῦτο, καὶ ποιεῖ.
9 Yesu aliposikia maneno haya, alishangazwa naye sana. Akaugeukia ule umati wa watu uliokuwa unamfuata, akawaambia, “Sijaona imani kubwa namna hii hata katika Israeli.”
Ἀκούσας δὲ ταῦτα ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐθαύμασεν αὐτόν, καὶ στραφεὶς τῷ ἀκολουθοῦντι αὐτῷ ὄχλῳ εἶπε, Λέγω ὑμῖν, οὔτε ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ τοσαύτην πίστιν εὗρον.
10 Nao wale watu waliokuwa wametumwa kwa Yesu waliporudi nyumbani walimkuta yule mtumishi amepona.
Καὶ ὑποστρέψαντες οἱ πεμφθέντες εἰς τὸν οἶκον εὗρον τὸν ἀσθενοῦντα δοῦλον ὑγιαίνοντα.
11 Baadaye kidogo, Yesu alikwenda katika mji mmoja ulioitwa Naini. Nao wanafunzi wake na umati mkubwa wa watu walikwenda pamoja naye.
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἑξῆς, ἐπορεύετο εἰς πόλιν καλουμένην Ναΐν· καὶ συνεπορεύοντο αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἱκανοί, καὶ ὄχλος πολύς.
12 Alipokaribia lango la mji, alikutana na watu waliokuwa wamebeba maiti wakitoka nje ya mji. Huyu aliyekufa alikuwa mwana pekee wa mwanamke mjane. Umati mkubwa wa watu wa mji ule ulikuwa pamoja na huyo mwanamke.
Ὡς δὲ ἤγγισε τῇ πύλῃ τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἰδού, ἐξεκομίζετο τεθνηκώς, υἱὸς μονογενὴς τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτὴ χήρα· καὶ ὄχλος τῆς πόλεως ἱκανὸς σὺν αὐτῇ.
13 Bwana Yesu alipomwona yule mjane, moyo wake ulimhurumia, akamwambia, “Usilie.”
Καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὴν ὁ Κύριος ἐσπλαγχνίσθη ἐπ᾽ αὐτῇ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, Μὴ κλαῖε.
14 Kisha akasogea mbele akaligusa lile jeneza na wale waliokuwa wamelibeba wakasimama kimya. Akasema, “Kijana, nakuambia inuka.”
Καὶ προσελθὼν ἥψατο τῆς σοροῦ· οἱ δὲ βαστάζοντες ἔστησαν. Καὶ εἶπε, Νεανίσκε, σοὶ λέγω, ἐγέρθητι.
15 Yule aliyekuwa amekufa akaketi akaanza kuongea, naye Yesu akamkabidhi kwa mama yake.
Καὶ ἀνεκάθισεν ὁ νεκρός, καὶ ἤρξατο λαλεῖν. Καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ.
16 Watu wote wakajawa na hofu ya Mungu, nao wakamtukuza Mungu wakisema, “Nabii mkuu ametokea miongoni mwetu, Mungu amekuja kuwakomboa watu wake.”
Ἔλαβε δὲ φόβος πάντας, καὶ ἐδόξαζον τὸν Θεόν, λέγοντες ὅτι Προφήτης μέγας ἐγήγερται ἐν ἡμῖν, καὶ ὅτι Ἐπεσκέψατο ὁ Θεὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ.
17 Habari hizi za mambo aliyoyafanya Yesu zikaenea Uyahudi wote na sehemu zote za jirani.
Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ λόγος οὗτος ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ περὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ περιχώρῳ.
18 Wanafunzi wa Yohana Mbatizaji wakamweleza Yohana mambo haya yote. Hivyo Yohana akawaita wanafunzi wake wawili
Καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν Ἰωάννῃ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ περὶ πάντων τούτων.
19 na kuwatuma kwa Bwana ili kumuuliza, “Wewe ndiye yule aliyekuwa aje, au tumngojee mwingine?”
Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος δύο τινὰς τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ ὁ Ἰωάννης ἔπεμψε πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν, λέγων, Σὺ εἶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος, ἢ ἄλλον προσδοκῶμεν;
20 Wale watu walipofika kwa Yesu wakamwambia, “Yohana Mbatizaji ametutuma tukuulize, ‘Wewe ndiye yule aliyekuwa aje, au tumngojee mwingine?’”
Παραγενόμενοι δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνδρες εἶπον, Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτιστὴς ἀπέσταλκεν ἡμᾶς πρός σε, λέγων, Σὺ εἶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος, ἢ ἄλλον προσδοκῶμεν;
21 Wakati huo huo, Yesu aliwaponya wengi waliokuwa na magonjwa, maradhi na pepo wachafu, na pia akawafungua vipofu wengi macho wakapata kuona.
Ἐν αὐτῇ δὲ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἐθεράπευσε πολλοὺς ἀπὸ νόσων καὶ μαστίγων καὶ πνευμάτων πονηρῶν, καὶ τυφλοῖς πολλοῖς ἐχαρίσατο τὸ βλέπειν.
22 Hivyo akawajibu wale wajumbe, “Rudini mkamwambie Yohana yote mnayoyaona na kuyasikia: Vipofu wanapata kuona, viwete wanatembea, wenye ukoma wanatakaswa, viziwi wanasikia, wafu wanafufuliwa na maskini wanahubiriwa habari njema.
Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Πορευθέντες ἀπαγγείλατε Ἰωάννῃ ἃ εἴδετε καὶ ἠκούσατε· ὅτι τυφλοὶ ἀναβλέπουσι, χωλοὶ περιπατοῦσι, λεπροὶ καθαρίζονται, κωφοὶ ἀκούουσι, νεκροὶ ἐγείρονται, πτωχοὶ εὐαγγελίζονται·
23 Amebarikiwa mtu yule asiyechukizwa na mimi.”
καὶ μακάριός ἐστιν, ὃς ἐὰν μὴ σκανδαλισθῇ ἐν ἐμοί.
24 Wajumbe wa Yohana walipoondoka, Yesu akaanza kusema na makutano kuhusu Yohana Mbatizaji. Akawauliza, “Mlipokwenda kule nyikani, mlikwenda kuona nini? Je, ni unyasi ukipeperushwa na upepo?
Ἀπελθόντων δὲ τῶν ἀγγέλων Ἰωάννου, ἤρξατο λέγειν τοῖς ὄχλοις περὶ Ἰωάννου, Τί ἐξεληλύθατε εἰς τὴν ἔρημον θεάσασθαι; Κάλαμον ὑπὸ ἀνέμου σαλευόμενον;
25 Kama sivyo, mlikwenda kuona nini basi? Mtu aliyevaa mavazi ya kifahari? La hasha, watu wanaovaa mavazi ya kifahari na kuishi maisha ya anasa wako katika majumba ya kifalme.
Ἀλλὰ τί ἐξεληλύθατε ἰδεῖν; Ἄνθρωπον ἐν μαλακοῖς ἱματίοις ἠμφιεσμένον; Ἰδού, οἱ ἐν ἱματισμῷ ἐνδόξῳ καὶ τρυφῇ ὑπάρχοντες ἐν τοῖς βασιλείοις εἰσίν.
26 Lakini mlikwenda kuona nini? Mlikwenda kumwona nabii? Naam, nawaambia, yeye ni zaidi ya nabii.
Ἀλλὰ τί ἐξεληλύθατε ἰδεῖν; Προφήτην; Ναί, λέγω ὑμῖν, καὶ περισσότερον προφήτου.
27 Huyu ndiye ambaye habari zake zimeandikwa: “‘Tazama, nitamtuma mjumbe wangu mbele yako, atakayetengeneza njia mbele yako.’
Οὗτός ἐστι περὶ οὗ γέγραπται, Ἰδού, ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω τὸν ἄγγελόν μου πρὸ προσώπου σου, ὃς κατασκευάσει τὴν ὁδόν σου ἔμπροσθέν σου.
28 Nawaambia, miongoni mwa wale waliozaliwa na wanawake, hakuna aliye mkuu kuliko Yohana. Lakini yeye aliye mdogo kabisa katika Ufalme wa Mungu ni mkuu kuliko Yohana.”
Λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν, μείζων ἐν γεννητοῖς γυναικῶν προφήτης Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτιστοῦ οὐδείς ἐστιν· ὁ δὲ μικρότερος ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ μείζων αὐτοῦ ἐστι.
29 (Watu wote hata watoza ushuru waliposikia maneno ya Yesu, walikubali kwamba mpango wa Mungu ni haki, maana walikuwa wamebatizwa na Yohana.
Καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἀκούσας καὶ οἱ τελῶναι ἐδικαίωσαν τὸν Θεόν, βαπτισθέντες τὸ βάπτισμα Ἰωάννου·
30 Lakini Mafarisayo na wataalamu wa sheria walikataa mpango wa Mungu kwao kwa kutokubali kubatizwa na Yohana.)
οἱ δὲ Φαρισαῖοι καὶ οἱ νομικοὶ τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἠθέτησαν εἰς ἑαυτούς, μὴ βαπτισθέντες ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ.
31 Yesu akawauliza, “Niwafananishe na nini watu wa kizazi hiki? Wanafanana na nini?
Τίνι οὖν ὁμοιώσω τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης, καὶ τίνι εἰσὶν ὅμοιοι;
32 Wao ni kama watoto waliokaa sokoni wakiitana wao kwa wao, wakisema: “‘Tuliwapigia filimbi, lakini hamkucheza; tuliwaimbia nyimbo za maombolezo, lakini hamkulia.’
Ὅμοιοί εἰσι παιδίοις τοῖς ἐν ἀγορᾷ καθημένοις, καὶ προσφωνοῦσιν ἀλλήλοις, καὶ λέγουσιν, Ηὐλήσαμεν ὑμῖν, καὶ οὐκ ὠρχήσασθε· ἐθρηνήσαμεν ὑμῖν, καὶ οὐκ ἐκλαύσατε.
33 Kwa maana Yohana Mbatizaji alikuja, alikuwa hali mkate wala hanywi divai, nanyi mkasema, ‘Yeye ana pepo mchafu.’
Ἐλήλυθε γὰρ Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτιστὴς μήτε ἄρτον ἐσθίων μήτε οἶνον πίνων, καὶ λέγετε, Δαιμόνιον ἔχει·
34 Mwana wa Adamu alikuja akila na kunywa, nanyi mnasema: ‘Tazameni huyu mlafi na mlevi, rafiki wa watoza ushuru na “wenye dhambi.”’
ἐλήλυθεν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐσθίων καὶ πίνων, καὶ λέγετε, Ἰδού, ἄνθρωπος φάγος καὶ οἰνοπότης, φίλος τελωνῶν καὶ ἁμαρτωλῶν.
35 Nayo hekima huthibitishwa kuwa kweli na watoto wake wote.”
Καὶ ἐδικαιώθη ἡ σοφία ἀπὸ τῶν τέκνων αὐτῆς πάντων.
36 Basi Farisayo mmoja alimwalika Yesu nyumbani kwake kwa chakula. Hivyo Yesu akaenda nyumbani mwa yule Farisayo na kukaa katika nafasi yake mezani.
Ἠρώτα δέ τις αὐτὸν τῶν Φαρισαίων ἵνα φάγῃ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν τοῦ Φαρισαίου ἀνεκλίθη.
37 Naye mwanamke mmoja kwenye ule mji, ambaye alikuwa mwenye dhambi, alipojua kwamba Yesu alikuwa akila chakula nyumbani kwa yule Farisayo, akaleta chupa ya marhamu yenye manukato.
Καὶ ἰδού, γυνὴ ἐν τῇ πόλει, ἥτις ἦν ἁμαρτωλός, ἐπιγνοῦσα ὅτι ἀνάκειται ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ τοῦ Φαρισαίου, κομίσασα ἀλάβαστρον μύρου,
38 Yule mwanamke akasimama nyuma ya miguu ya Yesu akilia. Akailowanisha miguu yake kwa machozi yake, kisha akaifuta kwa nywele zake, akaibusu na kuimiminia manukato.
καὶ στᾶσα παρὰ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ ὀπίσω κλαίουσα, ἤρξατο βρέχειν τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ τοῖς δάκρυσι, καὶ ταῖς θριξὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτῆς ἐξέμασσε, καὶ κατεφίλει τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἤλειφε τῷ μύρῳ.
39 Yule Farisayo aliyemwalika Yesu alipoona yanayotendeka, akawaza moyoni mwake, “Kama huyu mtu angekuwa nabii, angejua kwamba ni nani anayemgusa, na kwamba yeye ni mwanamke wa namna gani, na ya kuwa huyu mwanamke ni mwenye dhambi.”
Ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Φαρισαῖος ὁ καλέσας αὐτὸν εἶπεν ἐν ἑαυτῷ λέγων, Οὗτος, εἰ ἦν προφήτης, ἐγίνωσκεν ἂν τίς καὶ ποταπὴ ἡ γυνὴ ἥτις ἅπτεται αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἁμαρτωλός ἐστι.
40 Yesu akanena akamwambia, “Simoni, nina jambo la kukuambia.” Simoni akajibu, “Mwalimu, sema.”
Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν, Σίμων, ἔχω σοί τι εἰπεῖν. Ὁ δέ φησι, Διδάσκαλε, εἰπέ.
41 “Palikuwa na mtu mmoja aliyewakopesha watu wawili fedha: Mmoja alidaiwa dinari 500na mwingine dinari hamsini.
Δύο χρεωφειλέται ἦσαν δανειστῇ τινι· ὁ εἷς ὤφειλε δηνάρια πεντακόσια, ὁ δὲ ἕτερος πεντήκοντα.
42 Wote wawili walipokuwa hawawezi kulipa, aliyafuta madeni yao wote wawili. Sasa ni yupi kati yao atakayempenda yule aliyewasamehe zaidi?”
Μὴ ἐχόντων δὲ αὐτῶν ἀποδοῦναι, ἀμφοτέροις ἐχαρίσατο. Τίς οὖν αὐτῶν, εἰπέ, πλεῖον αὐτὸν ἀγαπήσει;
43 Simoni akajibu, “Nadhani ni yule aliyesamehewa deni kubwa zaidi.” Naye Yesu akamwambia, “Umehukumu kwa usahihi.”
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Σίμων εἶπεν, Ὑπολαμβάνω ὅτι ᾧ τὸ πλεῖον ἐχαρίσατο. Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Ὀρθῶς ἔκρινας.
44 Kisha akamgeukia yule mwanamke, akamwambia Simoni, “Je, unamwona mwanamke huyu? Nilipoingia nyumbani mwako, hukunipa maji ya kunawa miguu yangu, lakini huyu ameninawisha miguu kwa machozi yake, na kunifuta kwa nywele zake.
Καὶ στραφεὶς πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα, τῷ Σίμωνι ἔφη, Βλέπεις ταύτην τὴν γυναῖκα; Εἰσῆλθόν σου εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν, ὕδωρ ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας μου οὐκ ἔδωκας· αὕτη δὲ τοῖς δάκρυσιν ἔβρεξέ μου τοὺς πόδας, καὶ ταῖς θριξὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτῆς ἐξέμαξε.
45 Hukunisalimu kwa busu, lakini huyu mwanamke hajaacha kuibusu miguu yangu tangu nilipoingia.
Φίλημά μοι οὐκ ἔδωκας· αὕτη δέ, ἀφ᾽ ἧς εἰσῆλθον, οὐ διέλιπε καταφιλοῦσά μου τοὺς πόδας.
46 Hukunipaka mafuta kichwani mwangu, lakini yeye ameipaka miguu yangu manukato.
Ἐλαίῳ τὴν κεφαλήν μου οὐκ ἤλειψας· αὕτη δὲ μύρῳ ἤλειψέ μου τοὺς πόδας.
47 Kwa hiyo, nakuambia, dhambi zake zilizokuwa nyingi zimesamehewa, kwani ameonyesha upendo mwingi. Lakini yule aliyesamehewa kidogo, hupenda kidogo.”
Οὗ χάριν, λέγω σοι, ἀφέωνται αἱ ἁμαρτίαι αὐτῆς αἱ πολλαί, ὅτι ἠγάπησε πολύ· ᾧ δὲ ὀλίγον ἀφίεται, ὀλίγον ἀγαπᾷ.
48 Kisha akamwambia yule mwanamke, “Dhambi zako zimesamehewa.”
Εἶπε δὲ αὐτῇ, Ἀφέωνταί σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι.
49 Lakini wale waliokuwa wameketi pamoja naye chakulani wakaanza kusemezana wao kwa wao, “Huyu ni nani ambaye hata anasamehe dhambi?”
Καὶ ἤρξαντο οἱ συνανακείμενοι λέγειν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς, Τίς οὗτός ἐστιν ὃς καὶ ἁμαρτίας ἀφίησιν;
50 Yesu akamwambia yule mwanamke, “Imani yako imekuokoa; nenda kwa amani.”
Εἶπε δὲ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα, Ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέ σε· πορεύου εἰς εἰρήνην.
