Luka 5
1 Basi ilitokea wakati watu walipomkusanyikia na kumzunguka Yesu na kusikiliza neno la Mungu, ambapo alikuwa amesimama kando ya ziwa Genesareti.
On one occasion when he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, the crowd pressed upon him to listen to the word of God.
2 Aliona mashua mbili zimetia nanga pembeni mwa ziwa. Wavuvi walikuwa wametoka na walikuwa wakiosha nyavu zao.
But he saw two fishing-boats on the shore of the lake; the fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets.
3 Yesu akaingia katika mojawapo ya zile mashua, ambayo ilikuwa ya Simoni na kumwomba aipeleke majini mbali kidogo na nchi kavu. Kisha akakaa na kufundisha kutokea kwenye mashua.
He went on board one of the boats which belonged to Simon, and asked him to push out a little way from land. Then he sat down and continued to teach the crowd from the boat.
4 kuongea, akamwambia Simoni, “Ipeleke mashua yako mpaka kwenye kilindi cha maji nakushusha nyavu zako ili kuvua samaki.”
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Push out into deep water, and let down your nets for a haul."
5 Simon akajibu na kusema, Bwana, tumefanya kazi usiku wote, na hatukukamata chochote, lakini kwa neno lako, nitazishusha nyavu.
"Master," answered Simon, "although we toiled all night, we took nothing; but at your bidding I will let down the nets."
6 Walipofanya hivyo walikusanya kiasi kikubwa cha samaki na nyavu zao zikaanza kukatika.
And when they had done this they enclosed a great multitude of fish; and their nets began to break.
7 Hivyo wakawaashiria washirika wao kwenye mashua nyingine ili waja na kuwasaidia. Walikuja wakazijaza mashua zote, kiasi kwamba zikaanza kuzama.
So they motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.
8 Lakini Simoni Petro, alipoona hivyo, alianguka magotini pa Yesu akisema,”Ondoka kwangu, kwa sababu mimi ni mtu mwenye dhambi Bwana.”
When Simon Peter saw this he fell down at the knees of Jesus, exclaiming, "Depart from me, O Lord, for I am a sinful man!"
9 Kwa sababu alishangazwa, na wote waliokuwa pamoja naye, kwa uvuvi wa samaki waliokuwa wameufanya.
(For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the haul of fish which they had made;
10 Hili liliwajumuisha Yakobo na Yohana wana wa Zebedayo, ambao walikuwa washirika wa Simoni. Na Yesu akamwambia Simoni, “Usiogope, kwa sababu kuanzia sasa na kuendelea utavua watu.”
and so were Simon’s partners, Jamesand John, sons of Zebedee.) But Jesus answered Simon. "Fear not; from this time on, you will be catching men."
11 Walipokwishazileta mashua zao nchi kavu, waliacha kila kitu na kumfuata yeye.
So when they had brought their boats to land they left everything and followed him.
12 Ilitokea kwamba alipokuwa katika mji mmojawapo, mtu aliyekuwa amejaa ukoma alikuwa huko. Wakati alipomuona Yesu, alianguka akiinamisha uso kwake mpaka chini na kumuomba, akisema, “Bwana, ikiwa unataka, waweza kunitakasa.”
Another time when he was in one of their cities, there was a man there full of leprosy. And he, upon seeing Jesus, fell on his face and implored him. "Lord," he said, "if only you choose you can make me clean."
13 Kisha Yesu alinyoosha mkono wake na kumgusa, akisema, “Nataka. Takasika.” Na saa ileile ukoma ukamwacha.
And he stretched out his hand and touching him, said. "I do choose; be made clean."
14 “Alimwagiza asimwambie mtu yeyote, lakini alimwambia, “Nenda zako, na ukajionyeshe kwa makuhani na utoe sadaka ya utakaso wako, sawasawa na kile Musa alichokiamuru, kwa ushuhuda kwao.”
And instantly the leprosy left him. Jesus ordered him to tell no one, "But be off," he said, "show yourself to the priest, and make the offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."
15 Lakini habari kumuhusu yeye zikaenea mbali zaidi, na umati mkubwa wa watu ukaja pamoja kumsikiliza akifundisha na kuponywa magonjwa yao.
But all the more the report about him continued to spread; and great crowds began to come together to hear him, and to be healed of their infirmities.
16 Lakini mara kwa mara alijitenga faraghani na kuomba.
But Jesus himself habitually withdrew into solitary places, and there used to pray.
17 Ilitokea siku moja kati ya hizo siku alikuwa akifundisha, na walikuwapo Mafarisayo na waalimu wa sheria wamekaa hapo ambao walikuja wakitokea vijiji vingi tofauti katika mkoa wa Galilaya na Yudea, na pia kutokea katika mji wa Yerusalemu. Nguvu ya Bwana ilikuwa pamoja naye kuponya.
One day he was teaching, and near to him were seated Pharisees and teachers of the Law, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.
18 watu kadhaa walikuja, wamembeba kwenye mkeka mtu aliyepooza, na wakatafuta njia ya kumwingiza ndani ili kumlaza chini mbele ya Yesu.
And behold there came men carrying a paralytic on a bed; and they tried to bring him and lay him before Jesus, but they could not because of the crowd.
19 Hawakupata njia ya kumwingiza ndani kwa sababu ya umati, hivyo walipanda juu ya paa la nyumba na kumshusha yule mtu chini kupitia kwenye vigae, juu mkeka wake katikati ya watu, mbele kabisa ya Yesu.
So they went up on the roof, and let him down through the tiling, with his bed, into the crowd, before Jesus.
20 Akiangalia imani yao, Yesu alisema, “Rafiki, dhambi zako umesamehewa.”
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to him, "Man, your sins are forgiven you!"
21 Waandishi na Mafarisayo waliaanza kuhoji hilo, wakisema, “Huyu ni nani anayeongea makufuru? Ni nani anaweza kusamehe dhambi ila Mungu pekee yake?”
And the Scribes and Pharisees began to cavil. "Who is this?" they asked, "speaking blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
22 Lakini Yesu, akitambua nini walichokuwa wakifikiri, aliwajibu na kuwaambia, “Kwa nini mnaulizana hili mioyoni mwenu?
Conscious of their cavilings, Jesus answered, saying.
23 Kipi ni rahisi kusema, 'Dhambi zako zimesamehewa' au kusema 'Simama utembee?'
"What is this caviling in your hearts? Which is easier to say, "Your sins are forgiven," or to say, "Rise and walk?"
24 Lakini mjue ya kwamba Mwana wa Adamu anayo mamlaka duniani ya kusamehe dhambi, Nakwambia wewe, 'Amka, chukua mkeka wako na uende nyumbani kwako.'”
But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins (he said to the paralytic), "I bid you rise, take up your bed, and go to your house."
25 Wakati huo huo akaamka mbele yao na akachukua mkeka wake aliokuwa ameulalia. Kisha akariudi nyumbani kwake akimtukuza Mungu.
And instantly he arose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and went away to his house, glorifying God.
26 Kila mmoja alishangazwa na wakamtukuza Mungu. Walijawa na hofu, wakisema, “Tumeona mambo yasiyo ya kawaida leo.”
Astonishment fell upon them all, and they began to glorify God, and they were filled with awe, and they said, "We have seen strange things today."
27 Baada ya mambo haya kutokea, Yesu alitoka huko na akamwona mtoza ushuru aliyeitwa Lawi amekaa eneo la kukusanyia kodi. Akamwambia, “Nifuate.”
After this he went forth and noticed a tax-gatherer, named Levi, sitting at the tax-office, and said to him, "Follow me."
28 Hivyo Lawi akanyanyuka na kumfuata, akiacha kila kitu nyuma.
He rose, left everything, and followed him.
29 Kisha Lawi akaandaa nyumbani kwake karamu kubwa kwa ajili ya Yesu. Walikuwapo watozaushuru wengi kule na watu wengi walioketi mezani wakila pamoja nao.
Levi also made him a great reception at his house. There was a large party of tax-gatherers and others who were dining with them.
30 Lakini Mafarisayo na waandishi wao walikuwa wakiwanung'unikia wanafunzi, wakisema, “Kwa nini mnakula na kunywa na watoza ushuru pamoja na watu wengine wenye dhambi?”
And the Pharisees and their scribes began complaining to his disciples, saying, "Why are you eating and drinking with tax- gatherers and sinners?"
31 Yesu akawajibu, “Watu walio katika afya njema hawahitaji tabibu, ni wale tu wanaoumwa ndiyo watakao mhitaji mmoja.
Jesus answered them saying. "They who are well have no need of a physician, but they who are ill.
32 Sikuja kuwaita watu wenye haki haki wapate kutubu, bali kuwaita wenye dhambi wapate kutubu.”
I am not come to call the righteous but sinners, to repentance."
33 Wakamwambia, “Wanafunzi wa Yohana mara nyingi hufunga na kuomba, na wanafunzi wa Mafarisayo nao hufanya vivyo hivyo. Lakini wanafunzi wako hula na kunywa.”
Again they said unto him. "Why do the disciples of Johnfast frequently, and make supplications, as also do the disciples of the Pharisees, but your disciples are eating and drinking?"
34 Yesu akawaambia, “Inawezekana mtu yeyote akawafanya waliohudhuria harusi ya Bwana Arusi kufunga wakati Bwana Arusi bado yu pamoja nao?
"Can you make the bridal party fast," he asked, while the bridegroom is still with them?
35 Lakini siku zitakuja wakati Bwana Arusi atakapoondolewa kwao, ndipo katika siku hizo watafunga.”
"But there is coming a day when the Bridegroom will have been taken away from them; then at that time they will fast."
36 Kisha Yesu aliongea pia kwao kwa mfano. “Hakuna anayechana kipande cha nguo kutoka kwenye vazi jipya na kukitumia kurekebisha vazi la zamani. Kama akifanya hivyo, ataichana nguo mpya, na kipande cha nguo kutoka vazi jipya kisengefaa kutumika na nguo ya vazi la zamani.
He also told them a parable. "No one," he said, "tears a piece from a new garment, and patches it upon an old one; otherwise he will tear the new garment, and the patch from the new will not mend the old.
37 pia, hakuna mtu ambaye huweka divai mpya kwenye viriba vikuukuu. Kama akifanya hivyo, divai mpya ingepasua kile chombo, na divai ingemwagika, na viriba vingeharibika.
"Nor does any one pour new wine into old wine-skins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins, and will itself be spilled, and the skins be destroyed
38 Lakini divai mpya lazima iwekwe kwenye viriba vipya.
"But new wine must be put into fresh wine-skins
39 Na hakuna mtu baada ya kunywa divai ya zamani, hutataka mpya, kwa sababu husema, 'Ya zamani ni bora.”'
"And no man after drinking old wine, wishes for new; for he says, "The old is better.""
