Mathayo 13
1 Siku iyo hiyo Yesu akatoka nje ya nyumba, akaketi kando ya bahari.
On that day, Jesus, going out of the house, was sitting near 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 there were gathered unto him, large multitudes, so that, he, into a boat, entered, and was sitting, and, all the multitude, on the beach was standing.
3 Ndipo akawaambia mambo mengi kwa mifano, akisema: “Mpanzi alitoka kwenda kupanda mbegu zake.
And he spake unto them many things, in parables, saying: Lo! the sower went forth to sow, —
4 Alipokuwa akitawanya mbegu, nyingine zilianguka kando ya njia, nao ndege wakaja na kuzila.
and, as he sowed, some, indeed, fell by the pathway, and, the birds, came, and devoured it;
5 Nyingine zilianguka kwenye ardhi yenye mwamba isiyo na udongo wa kutosha. Zikaota haraka, kwa kuwa udongo ulikuwa haba.
And, some, fell on the rocky places, where it had not much earth, —and, straightway, it sprang up, because if had no depth of earth;
6 Lakini jua lilipozidi, mimea ikanyauka na kukauka kwa kuwa mizizi yake haikuwa na kina.
and, the sun arising, it was scorched, and, because it had no root, it withered away;
7 Mbegu nyingine zilianguka kwenye miiba, nayo miiba hiyo ikakua, ikaisonga hiyo mimea.
And, some, fell upon the thorns, and the thorns came up, and choked it;
8 Mbegu nyingine zilianguka kwenye udongo mzuri ambapo zilitoa mazao, nyingine mara mia moja, nyingine mara sitini, na nyingine mara thelathini.
But, some, fell upon the good ground, and did yield fruit, —this, indeed a hundred fold, and, that, sixty, and, the other, thirty.
9 Mwenye masikio ya kusikia, na asikie.”
He that hath ears, let him hear.
10 Wanafunzi wake wakamwendea, wakamuuliza, “Kwa nini unasema na watu kwa mifano?”
And the disciples, coming near, said to him, Wherefore, in parables, art thou speaking to them?
11 Akawajibu, “Ninyi mmepewa kuzifahamu siri za Ufalme wa Mbinguni, lakini wao hawajapewa.
And, he, answering, said, Because, unto you, hath it been given, to get to know the sacred secrets of the kingdom of the heavens, —whereas, unto them, hath it 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, whosoever hath, it shall be given, to him, and he shall be made to abound, —but, whoever hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken from him?
13 Hii ndiyo sababu nasema nao kwa mifano: “Ingawa wanatazama, hawaoni; wanasikiliza, lakini hawasikii, wala hawaelewi.
For this reason, in parables, unto them, do I speak, —because, seeing, they see not, and, hearing, they hear not, —neither do they understand.
14 Kwao unatimia ule unabii wa Isaya aliposema: “‘Hakika mtasikiliza lakini hamtaelewa; na pia mtatazama lakini hamtaona.
And, again is being fulfilled in them, the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, —They shall, surely hear, and yet will not understand, and, surely see, and yet 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 hath become dense, and, with their ears, heavily have they heard, and, their eyes, have they closed, —lest, once they should see with their eyes, and, with their ears, should hear, and, with their hearts, should understand, and return; when I would certainly heal them.
16 Lakini heri macho yenu kwa sababu yanaona, na heri masikio yenu kwa sababu yanasikia.
But happy are, your, eyes, that they see, and your ears, that they hear;
17 Amin, nawaambia, manabii wengi na wenye haki walitamani kuona yale mnayoyaona lakini hawakuyaona, na walitamani kusikia yale mnayoyasikia lakini hawakuyasikia.
For, verily, I say unto you—Many prophets and righteous men, have coveted to see what ye see, and have not seen, and to hear what ye hear, and have not heard.
18 “Sikilizeni basi maana ya ule mfano wa mpanzi:
Hear, ye, then, the parable of him that sowed: —
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.
When anyone heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, the wicked one cometh, and catcheth up that which hath been sown in his heart, —this, is he, by the pathway, sown.
20 Ile mbegu iliyopandwa kwenye sehemu yenye mawe ni mtu yule ambaye hulisikia neno na mara hulipokea kwa furaha.
And, he on the rocky places sown, the same, is he that, heareth the word, and, straightway, with joy, receiveth 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.
yet hath he no root in himself, but is, only for a season, —and, there arising, tribulation or persecution because of the word, straightway, he findeth cause of stumbling.
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, he among the thorns sown, the same, is he that, heareth the word, —and, the anxiety of the age and the deceit of riches, choke up the word, and, unfruitful, it becometh. (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.”
But, he on the good ground sown, the same, is he who doth hear and understand the word, who, indeed, beareth fruit and produceth, —this, a hundred, and, that, sixty, and, the other, thirty.
24 Yesu akawaambia mfano mwingine, akasema: “Ufalme wa Mbinguni unaweza kufananishwa na mtu aliyepanda mbegu nzuri katika shamba lake.
Another parable, put he before them, saying—The kingdom of the heavens hath become like 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 were sleeping, his enemy came, and sowed over darnel, in among the wheat, —and away he went.
26 Ngano ilipoota na kutoa masuke, magugu nayo yakatokea.
And, when the blade shot up, and brought forth, fruit, then, appeared, the darnel also.
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, coming near, said to him, —Sir! was it not, good seed, thou didst sow in thy field? Whence then hath it, darnel?
28 “Akawajibu, ‘Adui ndiye alifanya jambo hili.’ “Wale watumishi wakamuuliza, ‘Je, unataka twende tukayangʼoe?’
And he said unto them—An enemy, hath, done this. And they say, unto him—Wilt thou, then, that we go and collect it?
29 “Lakini akasema, ‘Hapana, msiyangʼoe, kwa maana wakati mkingʼoa magugu mnaweza mkangʼoa na ngano pamoja nayo.
And, he, saith—Nay! lest, at any time, while collecting the darnel, ye uproot, along 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.’”
Suffer both to grow together until the harvest, and at, harvest time, I will say unto the reapers, —Collect ye first, the darnel, and bind it into bundles, with a view to the burning it up; but, the wheat, be gathering it into my barn.
31 Akawaambia mfano mwingine, akasema, “Ufalme wa Mbinguni ni kama punje ya haradali, ambayo mtu aliichukua, akaipanda shambani mwake.
Another parable, put he before them, saying—The kingdom of the heavens is like unto, a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and 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, indeed, is, less, than all seeds, but, when grown, is greater than garden-plants, and becometh a tree, —so that the birds of heaven come, and lodge among 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 parable, [spake he unto them]: —The kingdom of the heavens is like, unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour until, the whole, was leavened.
34 Yesu alinena mambo haya yote kwa makutano kwa mifano. Wala hakuwaambia lolote pasipo mfano.
All these things, spake Jesus in parables, unto the multitudes, and, without a parable, was he speaking, nothing, unto 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, which was spoken through the prophet, saying—I will open, in parables, my mouth, I will bring up things hidden from the foundation!
36 Kisha Yesu akaagana na makutano, akaingia nyumbani. Wanafunzi wake wakamjia wakamwambia, “Tueleze maana ya ule mfano wa magugu shambani.”
Then, dismissing the multitudes, he went into the house, and his disciples came near to him, saying—Make quite plain to us the parable of the darnel of the field.
37 Akawaambia, “Aliyepanda mbegu nzuri ni Mwana wa Adamu.
And, he, answering, said—He that soweth 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 seeds, 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 that sowed them, is the adversary, and, the harvest, is, the conclusion of an 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)
Just, therefore, as collected is the darnel, and, with fire is burned, so, will it be in the conclusion of the 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 collect, out of his kingdom, all the causes of stumbling, and the doers of lawlessness,
42 Nao watawatupa katika tanuru la moto ambako kutakuwa na kilio na kusaga meno.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire: there, will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Ndipo wenye haki watangʼaa kama jua katika Ufalme wa Baba yao. Yeye aliye na masikio, na asikie.
Then, the righteous, will shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, 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.”
The kingdom of the heavens is like unto, a treasure hid in the field, which a man, finding, hid, —and, by reason of his joy, withdraweth and selleth whatsoever he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 “Tena, Ufalme wa Mbinguni unafanana na mfanyabiashara aliyekuwa akitafuta lulu safi.
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is, like, unto, a merchant, seeking beautiful pearls, —
46 Alipoipata lulu moja ya thamani kubwa, alikwenda akauza vyote alivyokuwa navyo akainunua.”
and, finding one very precious pearl, departing, he at once sold all things, whatsoever 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 unto, a large drag-net, cast into the sea and gathering 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, they dragged up on the beach, and, sitting down, collected the good into vessels, but, the worthless, forth they cast.
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 conclusion of the age: The messengers will come forth, and separate the wicked from among 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 fire: there, will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 Yesu akauliza, “Je, mmeyaelewa haya yote?” Wakamjibu, “Ndiyo.”
Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea!
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 unto them—Wherefore, every scribe, discipled unto the kingdom of the heavens, is like unto a householder, who putteth forth out of his treasure, things new and old.
53 Yesu alipomaliza kutoa mifano hii, akaondoka.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he removed from thence;
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, coming into his own city, began teaching them in their synagogue, so that with astonishment were they being struck, and were saying—Whence, hath, 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 not, this one, the carpenter’s, son? Is not, his mother, called Mary, and are not his brethren—James and Joseph, 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? Whence, then hath, this one, all these things?
57 Wakachukizwa naye. Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Nabii hakosi heshima, isipokuwa katika nchi yake na nyumbani kwake.”
And they began to find cause of stumbling in him. But, Jesus, said unto them—A prophet is not without honour, save in his city, and in his house.
58 Naye hakufanya miujiza mingi huko kwa sababu ya kutokuamini kwao.
And he did not, there, many mighty works, because of their unbelief.
