Mathayo 12
1 Wakati huo Yesu alienda siku ya sabato kupitia mashambani. Wanafunzi wake walikuwa na njaa na wakaanza kuyavunja masuke na kuyala.
At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
2 Lakini Mafarisayo walipoona hayo, wakamwambia Yesu “Angalia wanafunzi wako wanavunja sheria wanatenda siku yasiyo yuhusiwa siku ya Sabato''
But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, "Look, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath."
3 Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Hamjasoma jinsi Daudi aliyoyafanya, wakati alipokuwa na njaa, pamoja na watu aliokuwa nao?
But he said to them, "Have you not read what David did, when he and his companions were hungry;
4 Namna alivyoingia ndani ya nyumba ya Mungu na kula mikate ya wonyesho, ambayo ilikuwa siyo halali kwake kuila na wale aliokuwa nao, ila halali kwa Makuhani?
how he entered into the house of God, and they ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
5 Bado hamjasoma katika sheria, kwamba katika siku ya Sabato Makuhani ndani ya hekalu huinajisi Sabato, lakini hawana hatia?
Or have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are blameless?
6 Lakini nasema kwenu kuwa aliye mkuu kuliko hekalu yuko hapa.
But I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.
7 Kama mngalijua hii ina maanisha nini; nataka rehema na siyo dhabihu; msingaliwahukumu wasio na hatia,
But if you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent.
8 Kwa kuwa Mwana wa Adamu ndiye Bwana wa Sabato.”
For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."
9 Kisha Yesu akatoka pale akaenda katika sinagogi lao.
And he departed from there and went into their synagogue.
10 Tazama kulikuwa na mtu aliyepooza mkono. Mafarisayo wakamuuliza Yesu, wakisema. “Je, ni halali kuponya siku ya Sabato?” ili kwamba waweze kumshitaki kwa kutenda dhambi.
And look, there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?" that they might accuse him.
11 Yesu akawaambia, “Nani kati yenu, ambaye ikiwa ana kondoo mmoja, na huyu kondoo akaanguka ndani ya shimo siku ya sabato, hatamshika na kumtoa kwa nguvu ndani ya shimo?
And he said to them, "Which one of you who has one sheep, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out?
12 Je, ni kipi chenye thamani, zaidi kwani, si zaidi ya kondoo! Kwa hivyo ni halali kutenda mema siku ya Sabato.''
Of how much more value then is a person than a sheep. Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."
13 Kisha Yesu akamwambia yule mtu,” Nyoosha mkono wako” Akaunyoosha, na ukapata afya, kama ule mwingine.
Then he told the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched it out, and it was restored whole, just like the other.
14 Lakini Mafarisayo wakatoka njena wakapanga jinsi ya kumwangamiza walienda nje kupanga kinyume chake. Walikuwa wakitafuta jinsi ya kumuua.
But the Pharisees went out, and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.
15 Yesu alipoelewa hili aliondoka hapo. Watu wengi walimfuata, na akawaaponya wote.
But Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Large crowds followed him, and he healed them all,
16 Aliwaagiza wasije wakamfanya afahamike kwa wengine,
and commanded them that they should not make him known.
17 kwamba itimie ile kweli, iliyokuwa imesemwa na nabii Isaya, akisema,
This was to fulfill what had been spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
18 Tazama, mtumishi wangu niliyemchagua, mpendwa wangu, katika yeye nafsi yangu imependezwa. Nitaweka Roho yangu juu yake, na atatangaza hukumu kwa Mataifa.
"Look, my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved in whom my soul delights. I will put my Spirit on him; and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
19 Hatahangaika wala kulia kwa nguvu; wala awaye yote kusikia sauti yake mitaani.
He will not quarrel, nor shout; nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
20 Hatalivunja tete lililochubuliwa; hatazima utambi wowote utoao moshi, mpaka atakapoleta hukumu ikashinda.
He won't break a bruised reed. And he won't put out a smoldering wick, until he leads justice to victory.
21 Na Mataifa watakuwa na ujasiri katika jina lake.
And in his name the coastlands will hope."
22 Mtu fulani kipofu na bubu, aliyepagawa na pepo aliletwa mbele ya Yesu. Akamponya, pamoja na matokeo ya kwamba mtu bubu alisema na kuona.
Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him and he healed him, so that the mute man spoke and saw.
23 Makutano wote walishangaa na kusema,”Yaweza mtu huyu kuwa mwana wa Daudi?”
And all the crowds were amazed, and said, "Can this be the son of David?"
24 Lakini pindi Mafarisayo waliposikia muujiza huu, walisema, “Huyu mtu hatoi pepo kwa nguvu zake mwenyewe isipokuwa kwa nguvu za Belzebuli, mkuu wa pepo.
But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, "This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons."
25 “Lakini Yesu alifahamu fikra zao na kuwaambia, “Kila ufalme uliogawanyika wenyewe huharibika, na kila mji au nyumba inayogawanyika yenyewe haitasimama.
And knowing their thoughts, he said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
26 Ikiwa Shetani, atamwondoa Shetani, basi anajipinga katika nafsi yake mwenyewe.
And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
27 Ni namna gani ufalme wake utasimama? Na kama natoa pepo kwa nguvu za Belizabuli, wafuasi wenu huwatatoa kwa nija ya nani? Kwa ajili ya hili watakuwa mahakimu wenu.
If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
28 Na kama natoa pepo kwa nguvu za Roho wa Mungu, basi ufalme wa Mungu umekjua kwenu.
But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
29 Na mtu atawezaje kuingia ndani ya nyumba ya mwenye nguvu na kuiba, bila kumfunga mwenye nguvu kwanza? Ndiyo atakapoiba mali yake kutoka ndani ya nyumba.
Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man, and carry off his possessions, unless he first bind the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.
30 Yeyote asiye kuwa pamoja nami yuko kinyume changu, naye asiye kusanya pamoja nami huyo hutawanya.
"He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me, scatters.
31 Kwa hiyo nasema kwenu, kila dhambi na kufuru watu watasamehewa, ila kumkufuru Roho Mtakatifu hawatasamehewa.
Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
32 Na yeyote asemaye neno kinyume cha Mwana wa Adamu, hilo atasamehewa. Lakini yeyote asemaye kinyume na Roho Mtakatifu, huyo hatasamehewa, katika ulimwengu huu, na wala ule ujao (aiōn g165)
And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
33 Ama ufanye mti kuwa mzuri na tunda lake zuri, au uuharibu mti na tunda lake, kwa kuwa mti hutambulika kwa tunda lake.
"Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit.
34 Nyinyi kizazi cha nyoka, nyie ni waovu, mnawezaje kusema mambo mazuri? Kwa kuwa kinywa hunena kutoka katika akiba ya yaliyomo moyoni.
You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
35 Mtu mwema katika akiba njema ya moyo wake hutoka mema, na mtu mwovu katika akiba ovu ya moyo wake, hutoa kilicho kiovu.
The good person out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings out evil things.
36 Nawaambia kuwa katika siku ya hukumu watu watatoa hesabu ya kila neno lisilo na maana walilosema.
But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
37 Kwa kuwa kwa maneno yako utahesabiwa haki na kwa maneno yako utahukumiwa.”
For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
38 Kisha baadhi ya waandishi na Mafarisayo walimjibu Yesu wakisema” Mwalimu, tungependa kuona ishara kutoka kwako.”
Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from you."
39 Lakini Yesu alijibu na kuwaambia, “Kizazi kiovu na cha zinaa kinatafuta ishara. Lakini hakuna ishara itakayotolewa kwao isipokuwa ile ishara ya Yona nabii.
But he answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
40 Kama vile nabii Yona alivyokuwa ndani ya tumbo la samaki mkubwa kwa siku tatu mchana na usiku, hivyo ndivyo Mwana wa Adam atakavyo kuwa ndani ya moyo wa nchi kwa siku tatu mchana na usiku.
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 Watu wa Ninawi watasimama mbele ya hukumu pamoja na kizazi cha watu hawa na watakihukumu. Kwa kuwa walitubu kwa mahubiri ya Yona, na tazama, mtu fulani mkuu kuliko Yona yuko hapa.
The people of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and look, something greater than Jonah is here.
42 Malkia wa kusini atainuka kwenye hukumu pamoja na watu wa kizazi hiki na kukihukumu. Alikuja toka miisho ya dunia kuja kusikia hekima ya Selemani, na tazama, mtu fulani mkuu kuliko Selemani yupo hapa.
The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for she came from a distant land to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and look, someone greater than Solomon is here.
43 Wakati pepo mchafu amtokapo mtu, hupita mahali pasipo na maji akitafuta kupumzika, lakini hapaoni
But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the person, passes through waterless places, seeking rest, and does not find it.
44 Kisha husema, 'nitarudi kwenye nyumba yangu niliyotoka.' Arudipo hukuta ile nyumba imesafishwa na iko tayari.
Then he says, 'I will return into my house from which I came out,' and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
45 Kisha huenda na kuwaleta wengine roho wachafu saba walio wabaya zaidi kuliko yeye, huja kuishi wote pale. Na hali yake ya mwisho huwa mbaya kuliko ya kwanza. Hivyo ndivyo itakavyo kuwa kwa kizazi hiki kiovu.
Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that person becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation."
46 Wakati Yesu alipokuwa akizungumza na umati tazama, mama yake na ndugu zake walisimama nje, wakitafuta kuongea naye.
While he was yet speaking to the crowds, look, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.
47 Mtu mmoja akamwambia, “Tazama mama yako na ndugu zako wamesimama nje, wanatafuta kuongea nawe”.
Then one said to him, "Look, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you."
48 Lakini Yesu alijibu na kumwambia aliyemjulisha, “Mama yangu ni nani? Na ndugu zangu ni akina nani?”
But he answered him who spoke to him, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?"
49 Naye alinyoosha mkono wake kwa wanafunzi na kusema, “Tazama, hawa ni mama na ndugu zangu!
And he stretched out his hand towards his disciples, and said, "Look, my mother and my brothers.
50 Kwa kuwa yeyote afanyae mapenzi ya Baba yangu aliye mbinguni, mtu huyo ndiye ndugu yangu, dada yangu na mama yangu”.
For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother."
