Mathayo 10
1 Ndipo Yesu akawaita wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili, naye akawapa mamlaka juu ya pepo wachafu, ili waweze kuwatoa na kuponya kila ugonjwa na maradhi ya kila aina.
And hee called his twelue disciples vnto him, and gaue them power against vncleane spirits, to cast them out, and to heale euery sickenesse, and euery disease.
2 Haya ndiyo majina ya hao mitume kumi na wawili: wa kwanza, Simoni aitwaye Petro, na Andrea nduguye; Yakobo mwana wa Zebedayo, na Yohana nduguye;
Nowe the names of the twelue Apostles are these. The first is Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother: Iames the sonne of Zebedeus, and Iohn his brother.
3 Filipo, na Bartholomayo; Tomaso, na Mathayo mtoza ushuru; Yakobo mwana wa Alfayo, na Thadayo;
Philippe and Bartlemewe: Thomas, and Matthewe that Publicane: Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Lebbeus whose surname was Thaddeus:
4 Simoni Mkananayo, na Yuda Iskariote aliyemsaliti Yesu.
Simon the Cananite, and Iudas Iscariot, who also betraied him.
5 Hawa kumi na wawili, Yesu aliwatuma akawaagiza: “Msiende miongoni mwa watu wa Mataifa, wala msiingie mji wowote wa Wasamaria.
These twelue did Iesus send forth, and commanded them, saying, Goe not into the way of of the Gentiles, and into the cities of the Samaritans enter yee not:
6 Lakini afadhali mshike njia kuwaendea kondoo wa nyumba ya Israeli waliopotea.
But goe rather to the lost sheepe of the house of Israel.
7 Wakati mnapokwenda, hubirini mkisema, ‘Ufalme wa Mbinguni umekaribia.’
And as ye goe, preach, saying, The kingdome of heauen is at hand.
8 Ponyeni wagonjwa, fufueni wafu, takaseni wenye ukoma, toeni pepo wachafu. Mmepata bure, toeni bure.
Heale the sicke: cleanse the lepers: raise vp the dead: cast out the deuils. Freely ye haue receiued, freely giue.
9 Msichukue dhahabu, wala fedha, wala shaba kwenye vifuko vyenu.
Possesse not golde, nor siluer, nor money in your girdels,
10 Msichukue mkoba wa safari, wala kanzu mbili, wala jozi ya pili ya viatu, wala fimbo, kwa maana mtendakazi anastahili posho yake.
Nor a scrippe for the iourney, neither two coates, neither shoes, nor a staffe: for the workeman is worthie of his meate.
11 “Mji wowote au kijiji chochote mtakapoingia, tafuteni humo mtu anayestahili, nanyi kaeni kwake mpaka mtakapoondoka.
And into whatsoeuer citie or towne ye shall come, enquire who is worthy in it, and there abide till yee goe thence.
12 Mkiingia kwenye nyumba, itakieni amani.
And when yee come into an house, salute the same.
13 Kama nyumba hiyo inastahili, amani yenu na iwe juu yake. La sivyo, amani yenu na iwarudie ninyi.
And if the house be worthy, let your peace come vpon it: but if it be not worthie, let your peace returne to you.
14 Kama mtu yeyote hatawakaribisha ninyi, wala kusikiliza maneno yenu, kungʼuteni mavumbi kutoka kwenye miguu yenu mtakapokuwa mnatoka kwenye nyumba hiyo au mji huo.
And whosoeuer shall not receiue you, nor heare your woordes, when yee depart out of that house, or that citie, shake off the dust of your feete.
15 Amin, nawaambia, itakuwa rahisi zaidi kwa miji ya Sodoma na Gomora kustahimili katika hukumu kuliko mji huo.
Truely I say vnto you, it shall be easier for them of the lande of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of iudgement, then for that citie.
16 “Tazama, ninawatuma kama kondoo katikati ya mbwa mwitu. Kwa hiyo mwe werevu kama nyoka na wapole kama hua.
Behold, I send you as sheepe in the middes of the wolues: be yee therefore wise as serpents, and innocent as doues.
17 “Jihadharini na wanadamu; kwa maana watawapeleka katika mabaraza yao na kuwapiga kwenye masinagogi yao.
But beware of men, for they will deliuer you vp to the Councils, and will scourge you in their Synagogues.
18 Nanyi mtaburutwa mbele ya watawala na wafalme kwa ajili yangu, ili kuwa ushuhuda kwao na kwa watu wa Mataifa.
And ye shall be brought to the gouernours and Kings for my sake, in witnes to them, and to the Gentiles.
19 Lakini watakapowapeleka humo, msisumbuke kufikiria mtakalosema, kwa maana mtapewa la kusema wakati huo.
But when they deliuer you vp, take no thought howe or what ye shall speake: for it shall be giuen you in that houre, what ye shall say.
20 Kwa sababu si ninyi mtakaokuwa mkinena, bali ni Roho wa Baba yenu atakayekuwa akinena kupitia kwenu.
For it is not yee that speake, but the spirite of your father which speaketh in you.
21 “Ndugu atamsaliti ndugu yake ili auawe, naye baba atamsaliti mtoto wake. Watoto nao wataasi dhidi ya wazazi wao na kusababisha wauawe.
And the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the sonne, and the children shall rise against their parents, and shall cause them to die.
22 Watu wote watawachukia kwa ajili ya Jina langu. Lakini yule atakayevumilia hadi mwisho ataokolewa.
And yee shall be hated of all men for my Name: but he that endureth to the end, he shall be saued.
23 Wakiwatesa katika mji mmoja, kimbilieni mji mwingine. Amin, amin nawaambia, hamtamaliza miji yote ya Israeli kabla Mwana wa Adamu kuja.
And when they persecute you in this citie, flee into another: for verely I say vnto you, yee shall not goe ouer all the cities of Israel, till the Sonne of man be come.
24 “Mwanafunzi hawezi kumzidi mwalimu wake, wala mtumishi hamzidi bwana wake.
The disciple is not aboue his master, nor the seruant aboue his Lord.
25 Yatosha mwanafunzi kuwa kama mwalimu wake, na mtumishi kuwa kama bwana wake. Ikiwa mkuu wa nyumba ameitwa Beelzebuli, je, si watawaita zaidi wale wa nyumbani mwake!
It is ynough for the disciple to bee as his master is, and the seruaunt as his Lord. If they haue called the master of the house Beel-zebub, howe much more them of his housholde?
26 “Kwa hiyo msiwaogope hao, kwa maana hakuna kilichofichika ambacho hakitafunuliwa, wala hakuna siri ambayo haitajulikana.
Feare them not therefore: for there is nothing couered, that shall not be disclosed, nor hid, that shall not be knowen.
27 Ninalowaambia gizani, ninyi lisemeni mchana peupe. Na lile mnalosikia likinongʼonwa masikioni mwenu, lihubirini juu ya nyumba.
What I tell you in darkenesse, that speake yee in light: and what yee heare in the eare, that preach yee on the houses.
28 Msiwaogope wale wauao mwili lakini hawawezi kuua roho. Afadhali mwogopeni yeye awezaye kuiangamiza roho na mwili katika jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
And feare yee not them which kill the bodie, but are nor able to kill the soule: but rather feare him, which is able to destroy both soule and bodie in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 Je, shomoro wawili hawauzwi kwa senti moja tu? Lakini hakuna hata mmoja wao atakayeanguka chini pasipo Baba yenu kujua.
Are not two sparrowes sold for a farthing, and one of them shall not fal on the ground without your Father?
30 Hata nywele za vichwa vyenu zote zimehesabiwa.
Yea, and all the heares of your head are nombred.
31 Hivyo msiogope; kwa maana ninyi ni wa thamani kubwa kuliko shomoro wengi.
Feare ye not therefore, yee are of more value then many sparowes.
32 “Kila mtu atakayenikiri mbele ya watu, mimi nami nitamkiri yeye mbele za Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.
Whosoeuer therefore shall confesse me before men, him will I confesse also before my Father which is in heauen.
33 Lakini yeyote atakayenikana mimi mbele ya watu, mimi nami nitamkana mbele za Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.”
But whosoeuer shall denie me before me, him will I also denie before my Father which is in heauen.
34 “Msidhani kwamba nimekuja kuleta amani duniani. Sikuja kuleta amani bali upanga.
Thinke not that I am come to sende peace into the earth: I came not to send peace, but the sworde.
35 Kwa maana nimekuja kumfitini “‘mtu na babaye, binti na mamaye, mkwe na mama mkwe wake;
For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in lawe.
36 nao adui za mtu watakuwa ni wale watu wa nyumbani kwake.’
And a mans enemies shall be they of his owne housholde.
37 “Yeyote ampendaye baba yake au mama yake kuliko anavyonipenda mimi, hastahili kuwa wangu. Yeyote ampendaye mwanawe au binti yake kuliko anavyonipenda mimi, hastahili kuwa wangu.
He that loueth father or mother more then me, is not worthie of me. And he that loueth sonne, or daughter more then mee, is not worthie of me.
38 Tena yeyote asiyeuchukua msalaba wake na kunifuata, hastahili kuwa wangu.
And hee that taketh not his crosse, and followeth after me, is not worthie of me.
39 Kwa maana yeyote anayetaka kuyaokoa maisha yake atayapoteza, lakini yeyote atakayeyapoteza maisha yake kwa ajili yangu atayapata.
He that will finde his life, shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake, shall finde it.
40 “Mtu yeyote atakayewapokea ninyi atakuwa amenipokea mimi, na yeyote atakayenipokea mimi atakuwa amempokea yeye aliyenituma.
He that receiueth you, receiueth me: and hee that receiueth mee, receiueth him that hath sent me.
41 Mtu yeyote anayempokea nabii kwa kuwa ni nabii atapokea thawabu ya nabii, naye mtu anayempokea mwenye haki kwa kuwa ni mwenye haki atapokea thawabu ya mwenye haki.
Hee that receiueth a Prophet in the name of a Prophet, shall receiue a Prophetes rewarde: and hee that receiueth a righteous man, in the name of a righteous man, shall receiue the rewarde of a righteous man.
42 Kama yeyote akimpa hata kikombe cha maji baridi mmoja wa hawa wadogo kwa kuwa ni mwanafunzi wangu, amin, nawaambia, hataikosa thawabu yake.”
And whosoeuer shall giue vnto one of these litle ones to drinke a cuppe of colde water onely, in the name of a disciple, verely I say vnto you, he shall not lose his rewarde.
