Luka 6
1 Sasa ilitokea kwenye Sabato kwamba Yesu alikuwa akipita katika ya shamba la nafaka na wanafunzi wake walikuwa wakichuma masuke, wakayasuguasugua kati ya mikono yao wakala nafaka.
One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.
2 Lakini baadhi ya Mafarisayo wakasema, “Kwa nini mnafanya kitu ambacho si halali kisheria kukifanya siku ya sabato”?
But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”
3 Yesu, akawajibu, akisema, “Hamkuwahi kusoma kile Daudi alifanya alipokuwa na njaa, yeye na wanaume waliokuwa pamoja naye?
Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
4 Alikwenda katika nyumba ya Mungu, na akachukuwa mikate mitakatifu na kuila baadhi, na kuitoa baadhi kwa watu aliokuwa nao kuila, hatakama ilikuwa halali kwa makuhani kuila.”
He entered the house of God, took the consecrated bread and gave it to his companions, and ate what is lawful only for the priests to eat.”
5 Kisha akawaambia, “Mwana wa Adamu ni Bwana wa Sabato.”
Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
6 Ilitokea katika Sabato nyingine kwamba alikwenda ndani ya sinagogi na kuwafundisha watu huko. Palikuwa na mtu ambaye mkono wake wa kulia ulikuwa umepooza.
On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.
7 Waandishi na Mafarisayo walikuwa wanamwangalia kwa makini kuona kama angemponya mtu siku ya Sabato, ili waweze kupata sababu ya kumshtaki kwa kufanya kosa.
Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.
8 Lakini alijua nini walikuwa wanafikiri na akasema kwa mtu aliyekuwa amepooza mkono, “Amka, simama hapa katikati ya kila mmoja.” Hivyo huyo mtu akanyanyuka na kusimama pale.
But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.
9 Yesu akasema kwao, “Nawauliza ninyi, ni halali siku ya Sabato kufanya mema au kufanya madhara, kuokoa maisha au kuyaharibu?” Kisha aliwaangalia wote na kumwambia yule mtu,
Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”
10 “Nyoosha mkono wako.” Akafanya hivyo, na mkono wake ulikuwa umeponywa.
And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.
11 Lakini walijawa na hasira, wakaongeleshana wao kwa wao kuhusu nini wanapaswa wafanye kwa Yesu.
But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.
12 Ilitokea siku hizo kwamba alikwenda mlimani kuomba. Aliendelea usiku mzima kumuomba Mungu.
In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.
13 Ilipokuwa asubuhi, aliwaita wanafunzi wake kwake, na akawachagua kumi na wawili kati yao, ambao pia aliwaita “mitume.”
When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:
14 Majina ya wale mitume yalikuwa Simoni (ambaye pia alimwita Petro) na Andrea ndugu yake, Yakobo, Yohana, Filipo, Bartolomayo,
Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;
15 Mathayo, Tomaso na Yakobo mwana wa Alfayo, Simoni, ambaye aliitwa Zelote,
Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;
16 Yuda mwana Yakobo na Yuda Iskariote, ambaye alikuwa msaliti msaliti.
Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
17 Kisha Yesu alitelemka pamoja nao toka mlimani na kusimama mahali tambarare. Idadi kubwa ya wanafunzi wake walikuwa huko, pamoja na idadi kubwa ya watu kutoka Uyahudi na Yerusalemu, na kutoka pwani ya Tiro na Sidoni.
Then Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples was there, along with a great number of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon.
18 Walikuja kumsikiliza na kuponywa magonjwa yao. Watu waliokuwa wakisumbuliwa na pepo wachafu waliponywa pia.
They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.
19 Kila mmoja kwenye hilo kusanyiko alijaribu kumgusa kwa sababu nguvu za uponyaji zilikuwa zikitokea ndani yake, na aliwaponya wote.
The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.
20 Kisha akawaangalia wanafunzi wake, na kusema, “Mmebarikiwa ninyi mlio maskini, kwa maana ufalme wa Mungu ni wenu.
Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Mmebarikiwa ninyi mlio na njaa sasa, kwa maana mtashibishwa. Mmebarikiwa ninyi mliao sasa, kwa maana mtacheka.
Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
22 Mmebarikiwa ninyi ambao watu watakapowachukia na kuwatenga na kuwashutumu ninyi kwamba ni waovu, kwa ajili ya Mwana Adamu.
Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.
23 Furahini katika siku hiyo na kurukaruka kwa furaha, kwa sababu hakika mtakuwa na thawabu kubwa mbinguni, kwa maana baba zao waliwatendea vivyohivyo manabii.
Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For their fathers treated the prophets in the same way.
24 Lakini ole wenu mlio matajiri! Kwa maana mmekwisha pata faraja yenu.
But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.
25 Ole wenu mlio shiba sasa! Kwa maana mtaona njaa baadaye. Ole wenu mnaocheka sasa! Kwa maana mtaomboleza na kulia baadaye.
Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
26 Ole wenu, mtakaposifiwa na watu wote! Kwa maana baba zao waliwatendea manabii wa uongo vivyohivyo.
Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.
27 Lakini nasema kwenu ninyi mnaonisikiliza, wapendeni adui zenu na kufanya mema kwa wanao wachukieni.
But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 Wabarikini wale wanao walaani ninyi na waombeeni wale wanaowaonea.
bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
29 Kwake yeye akupigaye shavu moja, mgeuzie na la pili. Kama mtu akikunyang'anya joho lako usimzuilie na kanzu.
If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well.
30 Mpe kila akuombaye. Kama mtu akikunyang'anya kitu ambacho ni mali yako, usimuombe akurudishie.
Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.
31 Kama mpendavyo watu wawatendee, nanyi watendeeni vivyo hivyo.
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
32 Kama mkiwapenda watu wawapendao ninyi tu, hiyo ni thawabu gani kwenu? Kwamaana hata wenye dhambi huwapenda wale wawapendao.
If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.
33 Kama mkiwatendea mema wale wanaowatendea ninyi mema, hiyo ni thawabu gani kwenu? Kwa maana hata wenye dhambi hufanya vivyo hivyo.
If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.
34 Kama mkikopesha vitu kwa watu ambao mnategemea watawarudishia, hiyo ni thawabu gani kwenu? Hata wenye dhambi huwakopesha wenye dhambi, na hutegemea kupokea kiasi hicho hicho tena.
And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.
35 Lakini wapendeni adui zenu na watendeeni mema. Wakopesheni na msihofu kuhusu kurudishiwa, na thawabu yenu itakuwa kubwa. Mtakuwa wana wa Aliye Juu, kwasababu yeye mwenyewe ni mwema kwa watu wasio na shukurani na waovu.
But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
36 Iweni na huruma, kama Baba yenu alivyo na huruma.
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
37 Msihukumu, nanyi hamta hukumiwa. Msilaani, nanyi hamtalaaniwa. Sameheni wengine, nanyi mtasamehewa.
Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
38 Wapeni wengine, nanyi mtapewa. Kiasi cha ukarimu - kilichoshindiliwa, kusukwasukwa na kumwagika - kitamwagika magotini penu. Kwa sababu kwa kipimo chochote mnachotumia kupimia, kipimo hicho hicho kitatumika kuwapimia ninyi.”
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”
39 Kisha akawaambia mfano pia. “Je mtu aliye kipofu aweza kumwongoza mtu mwingine kipofu? Kama alifanya hivyo, basi wote wangalitumbukia shimoni, je wasingetumbukia?
Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?
40 Mwanafunzi hawi mkubwa kuliko mwalimu wake, lakini kila mtu akiisha kufundishwa kwa ukamilifu atakuwa kama mwalimu wake.
A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.
41 Na kwa nini basi wakitazama kibanzi kilicho ndani ya jicho la ndugu yako, na boriti lililo ndani ya jicho lako huliangalii?
Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?
42 Utawezaje kumwambia ndugu yako, 'Ndugu, naomba nikitoe kibanzi kilicho ndani ya jicho lako,' nawe huangalii boriti iliyo katika jicho lako mwenyewe? Mnafiki wewe! Kwanza itoe boriti katika jicho lako mwenyewe, ndipo utaona vizuri kutoa kibanzi katika jicho la ndugu yako.
How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
43 Kwa sababu hakuna mti mzuri uzaao matunda mabaya, wala hakuna mti mbaya uzaao matunda mazuri.
No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.
44 Kwa sababu kila mti hutambulika kwa matunda yake. Kwa sababu watu hawachumi tini kutoka kwenye miba, wala hawachumi zabibu kutoka kwenye michongoma.
For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.
45 Mtu mwema katika hazina njema ya moyo wake hutoa yaliyo mema, na mtu mwovu katika hazina mbovu ya moyo wake hutoa yaliyo maovu. Kwa sababu kinywa chake husema yale yaujazayo moyo wake.
The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.
46 Kwanini mnaniita, 'Bwana, Bwana', na bado hamyatendi yale nisemayo?
Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I say?
47 Kila mtu ajaye kwangu na kuyasikia maneno yangu na kuyatendea kazi, nitawaonyesha jinsi alivyo.
I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:
48 Anafanana na mtu ajengae nyumba yake, ambaye huchimba chini sana, na kujenga msingi wa nyumba juu ya mwamba imara. Mafuriko yalipokuja, maporomoko ya maji yaliipiga nyumba, lakini hayakuweza kuitikisa, kwa sababu ilikuwa imejengwa vizuri.
He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
49 Lakini yeyote asikiaye neno langu na hakulitii; mfano wake ni mtu aliyejenga nyumba juu ya ardhi pasipokuwa na msingi, mto ulipoishukia kwa nguvu, nyumba ile ilitopata maangamizi makubwa.
But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”
