Mathayo 13
1 Siku iyo hiyo Yesu akatoka nje ya nyumba, akaketi kando ya bahari.
And in that day Jesus, having gone forth from the house, was sitting by the sea,
2 Umati mkubwa mno wa watu ukakusanyika kumzunguka, hata ikabidi aingie katika chombo na kuketi humo, nao watu wote wakawa wamesimama ukingoni mwa bahari.
and gathered together to Him were many multitudes, so that He having gone into the boat sat down, and all the multitude on the beach stood,
3 Ndipo akawaambia mambo mengi kwa mifano, akisema: “Mpanzi alitoka kwenda kupanda mbegu zake.
and He spoke to them many things in allegories, saying, “Behold, the sower went forth to sow,
4 Alipokuwa akitawanya mbegu, nyingine zilianguka kando ya njia, nao ndege wakaja na kuzila.
and in his sowing, some indeed fell by the way, and the birds having come, devoured them,
5 Nyingine zilianguka kwenye ardhi yenye mwamba isiyo na udongo wa kutosha. Zikaota haraka, kwa kuwa udongo ulikuwa haba.
and others fell on the rocky places where they did not have much earth, and immediately they sprang forth, through having no depth of earth,
6 Lakini jua lilipozidi, mimea ikanyauka na kukauka kwa kuwa mizizi yake haikuwa na kina.
and the sun having risen they were scorched, and through having no root, they withered,
7 Mbegu nyingine zilianguka kwenye miiba, nayo miiba hiyo ikakua, ikaisonga hiyo mimea.
and others fell on the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them,
8 Mbegu nyingine zilianguka kwenye udongo mzuri ambapo zilitoa mazao, nyingine mara mia moja, nyingine mara sitini, na nyingine mara thelathini.
and others fell on the good ground, and were giving fruit, some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and some thirty.
9 Mwenye masikio ya kusikia, na asikie.”
He who is having ears to hear—let him hear.”
10 Wanafunzi wake wakamwendea, wakamuuliza, “Kwa nini unasema na watu kwa mifano?”
And the disciples having come near, said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in allegories?”
11 Akawajibu, “Ninyi mmepewa kuzifahamu siri za Ufalme wa Mbinguni, lakini wao hawajapewa.
And He answering said to them that, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of the heavens, and to these it has not been given,
12 Kwa maana yule aliye na kitu atapewa zaidi, naye atakuwa navyo tele. Lakini yule asiye na kitu, hata kile alicho nacho atanyangʼanywa.
for whoever has, it will be given to him, and he will have overabundance, and whoever has not, even that which he has will be taken from him.
13 Hii ndiyo sababu nasema nao kwa mifano: “Ingawa wanatazama, hawaoni; wanasikiliza, lakini hawasikii, wala hawaelewi.
Because of this, in allegories I speak to them, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor understand,
14 Kwao unatimia ule unabii wa Isaya aliposema: “‘Hakika mtasikiliza lakini hamtaelewa; na pia mtatazama lakini hamtaona.
and fulfilled on them is the prophecy of Isaiah that says, With hearing you will hear, and you will not understand, and seeing you will see, and you will not perceive,
15 Kwa kuwa mioyo ya watu hawa imekuwa migumu; hawasikii kwa masikio yao, na wamefumba macho yao. Wasije wakaona kwa macho yao, na wakasikiliza kwa masikio yao, wakaelewa kwa mioyo yao, na kugeuka nami nikawaponya.’
for the heart of this people was made obtuse, and with the ears they barely heard, and they closed their eyes, lest they might see with the eyes, and might hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them.
16 Lakini heri macho yenu kwa sababu yanaona, na heri masikio yenu kwa sababu yanasikia.
And blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear,
17 Amin, nawaambia, manabii wengi na wenye haki walitamani kuona yale mnayoyaona lakini hawakuyaona, na walitamani kusikia yale mnayoyasikia lakini hawakuyasikia.
for truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see that which you look on, and they did not see, and to hear that which you hear, and they did not hear.
18 “Sikilizeni basi maana ya ule mfano wa mpanzi:
You, therefore, hear the allegory of the sower:
19 Mtu yeyote anaposikia neno la Ufalme naye asilielewe, yule mwovu huja na kunyakua kile kilichopandwa moyoni mwake. Hii ndiyo ile mbegu iliyopandwa kando ya njia.
Everyone hearing the word of the kingdom, and not understanding—the evil one comes, and snatches that which has been sown in his heart; this is that sown by the way.
20 Ile mbegu iliyopandwa kwenye sehemu yenye mawe ni mtu yule ambaye hulisikia neno na mara hulipokea kwa furaha.
And that sown on the rocky places, this is he who is hearing the word, and immediately with joy is receiving it,
21 Lakini kwa kuwa hana mizizi yenye kina ndani yake, lile neno hudumu kwa muda mfupi tu. Kisha dhiki au mateso yanapoinuka kwa ajili ya lile neno, yeye mara huchukizwa.
and he has no root in himself, but is temporary, and persecution or tribulation having happened because of the word, immediately he is stumbled.
22 Ile mbegu iliyopandwa katika miiba ni yule mtu alisikiaye neno, lakini masumbufu ya maisha haya na udanganyifu wa mali hulisonga lile neno na kulifanya lisizae matunda. (aiōn g165)
And that sown toward the thorns, this is he who is hearing the word, and the anxiety of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, chokes the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 Lakini ile mbegu iliyopandwa kwenye udongo mzuri ni yule mtu ambaye hulisikia neno na kulielewa. Naye hakika huzaa matunda, akizaa mara mia, au mara sitini, au mara thelathini ya mbegu iliyopandwa.”
And that sown on the good ground: this is he who is hearing the word, and is understanding, who indeed bears fruit, and makes, some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and some thirty.”
24 Yesu akawaambia mfano mwingine, akasema: “Ufalme wa Mbinguni unaweza kufananishwa na mtu aliyepanda mbegu nzuri katika shamba lake.
Another allegory He set before them, saying, “The kingdom of the heavens was likened to a man sowing good seed in his field,
25 Lakini wakati kila mtu alipokuwa amelala, adui yake akaja na kupanda magugu katikati ya ngano, akaenda zake.
and while men are sleeping, his enemy came and sowed darnel in the midst of the wheat, and went away,
26 Ngano ilipoota na kutoa masuke, magugu nayo yakatokea.
and when the herb sprang up, and yielded fruit, then appeared also the darnel.
27 “Watumishi wa yule mwenye shamba wakamjia na kumwambia, ‘Bwana, si tulipanda mbegu nzuri shambani mwako? Basi, magugu yametoka wapi?’
And the servants of the householder, having come near, said to him, Lord, did you not sow good seed in your field? From where then does it have the darnel?
28 “Akawajibu, ‘Adui ndiye alifanya jambo hili.’ “Wale watumishi wakamuuliza, ‘Je, unataka twende tukayangʼoe?’
And he says to them, A man, an enemy, did this; and the servants said to him, Will you, then, [that] having gone away we may gather it up?
29 “Lakini akasema, ‘Hapana, msiyangʼoe, kwa maana wakati mkingʼoa magugu mnaweza mkangʼoa na ngano pamoja nayo.
And he said, No, lest—gathering up the darnel—you root up with it the wheat;
30 Acheni ngano na magugu vikue vyote pamoja mpaka wakati wa mavuno. Wakati huo nitawaambia wavunaji wayakusanye magugu kwanza, wayafunge matita matita ili yachomwe moto; kisha wakusanye ngano na kuileta ghalani mwangu.’”
permit both to grow together until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the darnel, and bind it in bundles, to burn it, and the wheat gather up into my storehouse.”
31 Akawaambia mfano mwingine, akasema, “Ufalme wa Mbinguni ni kama punje ya haradali, ambayo mtu aliichukua, akaipanda shambani mwake.
Another allegory He set before them, saying, “The kingdom of the heavens is like to a grain of mustard, which a man having taken, sowed in his field,
32 Ingawa mbegu hiyo ni ndogo kuliko mbegu zote, lakini inapokua ni mmea mkubwa kuliko yote ya bustanini, nao huwa mti mkubwa, hadi ndege wa angani wanakuja na kutengeneza viota katika matawi yake.”
which less, indeed, is than all the seeds, but when it may be grown, is greatest of the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the sky come and rest in its branches.”
33 Akawaambia mfano mwingine, “Ufalme wa Mbinguni unafanana na chachu ambayo mwanamke aliichukua akaichanganya katika kiasi kikubwa cha unga mpaka wote ukaumuka.”
Another allegory He spoke to them: “The kingdom of the heavens is like to leaven, which a woman having taken, hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.”
34 Yesu alinena mambo haya yote kwa makutano kwa mifano. Wala hakuwaambia lolote pasipo mfano.
All these things Jesus spoke in allegories to the multitudes, and without an allegory He was not speaking to them,
35 Hii ilikuwa ili kutimiza lile lililonenwa kwa kinywa cha nabii aliposema: “Nitafungua kinywa changu niseme nao kwa mifano; nitahubiri mambo yaliyofichika tangu kuumbwa kwa misingi ya ulimwengu.”
that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophet, saying, “I will open in allegories My mouth, I will utter things having been hidden from the foundation of the world.”
36 Kisha Yesu akaagana na makutano, akaingia nyumbani. Wanafunzi wake wakamjia wakamwambia, “Tueleze maana ya ule mfano wa magugu shambani.”
Then having let away the multitudes, Jesus came into the house, and His disciples came near to Him, saying, “Explain to us the allegory of the darnel of the field.”
37 Akawaambia, “Aliyepanda mbegu nzuri ni Mwana wa Adamu.
And He answering said to them, “He who is sowing the good seed is the Son of Man,
38 Shamba ni ulimwengu na mbegu nzuri ni wana wa Ufalme. Magugu ni wana wa yule mwovu.
and the field is the world, and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, and the darnel are the sons of the evil one,
39 Yule adui aliyepanda magugu ni ibilisi. Mavuno ni mwisho wa dunia, nao wavunaji ni malaika. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sowed them is the Devil, and the harvest is [the] full end of the age, and the reapers are messengers. (aiōn g165)
40 “Kama vile magugu yangʼolewavyo na kuchomwa motoni, ndivyo itakavyokuwa wakati wa mwisho wa dunia. (aiōn g165)
As, then, the darnel is gathered up, and is burned with fire, so will it be in the full end of this age; (aiōn g165)
41 Mwana wa Adamu atawatuma malaika zake, nao watakusanya kutoka Ufalme wake kila kitu kinachosababisha dhambi na watenda maovu wote.
the Son of Man will send forth His messengers, and they will gather up out of His kingdom all the stumbling-blocks, and those doing the lawlessness,
42 Nao watawatupa katika tanuru la moto ambako kutakuwa na kilio na kusaga meno.
and will cast them into the furnace of the fire; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
43 Ndipo wenye haki watangʼaa kama jua katika Ufalme wa Baba yao. Yeye aliye na masikio, na asikie.
Then will the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who is having ears to hear—let him hear.
44 “Ufalme wa Mbinguni unafanana na hazina iliyofichwa shambani, ambayo mtu mmoja alipoiona akaificha tena. Kisha katika furaha yake, akaenda akauza vyote alivyokuwa navyo, akalinunua lile shamba.”
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to treasure hid in the field, which a man having found, hid, and from his joy goes, and all, as much as he has, he sells, and buys that field.
45 “Tena, Ufalme wa Mbinguni unafanana na mfanyabiashara aliyekuwa akitafuta lulu safi.
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a man, a merchant, seeking good pearls,
46 Alipoipata lulu moja ya thamani kubwa, alikwenda akauza vyote alivyokuwa navyo akainunua.”
who having found one pearl of great price, having gone away, has sold all, as much as he had, and bought it.
47 “Tena, Ufalme wa Mbinguni ni kama wavu wa kuvua samaki uliotupwa baharini ukavua samaki wa kila aina.
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a net that was cast into the sea, and gathered together of every kind,
48 Ulipojaa, wavuvi wakavuta pwani, wakaketi na kukusanya samaki wazuri kuwaweka kwenye vyombo safi, lakini wale samaki wabaya wakawatupa.
which, when it was filled, having drawn up again on the beach, and having sat down, they gathered the good into vessels, and the bad they cast out,
49 Hivi ndivyo itakavyokuwa wakati wa mwisho wa dunia. Malaika watakuja na kuwatenganisha watu waovu na watu wenye haki. (aiōn g165)
so will it be in the full end of the age, the messengers will come forth and separate the evil out of the midst of the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 Nao watawatupa hao waovu katika tanuru la moto ambako kutakuwa na kilio na kusaga meno.”
and will cast them into the furnace of the fire; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.”
51 Yesu akauliza, “Je, mmeyaelewa haya yote?” Wakamjibu, “Ndiyo.”
Jesus says to them, “Did you understand all these?” They say to Him, “Yes, Lord.”
52 Akawaambia, “Basi kila mwalimu wa sheria aliyefundishwa elimu ya Ufalme wa Mbinguni ni kama mwenye nyumba anayetoa kutoka ghala yake mali mpya na mali ya zamani.”
And He said to them, “Because of this, every scribe having been discipled in regard to the kingdom of the heavens is like to a man, a householder, who brings forth out of his treasure things new and old.”
53 Yesu alipomaliza kutoa mifano hii, akaondoka.
And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these allegories, He removed from there,
54 Alipofika mji wa kwao, akawafundisha watu katika sinagogi lao. Nao wakastaajabu, wakauliza, “Mtu huyu amepata wapi hekima hii na uwezo huu wa kufanya miujiza?”
and having come to His own country, He was teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and were saying, “From where to this One this wisdom and the mighty works?
55 “Huyu si yule mwana wa seremala? Mama yake si yeye aitwaye Maria, nao ndugu zake si Yakobo, Yosefu, Simoni na Yuda?
Is this not the carpenter’s Son? Is His mother not called Mary, and His brothers James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 Nao dada zake wote, hawako hapa pamoja nasi? Mtu huyu amepata wapi basi mambo haya yote?”
And His sisters—are they not all with us? From where, then, to this One all these?”
57 Wakachukizwa naye. Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Nabii hakosi heshima, isipokuwa katika nchi yake na nyumbani kwake.”
And they were stumbled at Him. And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, and in his own house”:
58 Naye hakufanya miujiza mingi huko kwa sababu ya kutokuamini kwao.
and He did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.
