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 through the corn, and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
2 Lakini Mafarisayo walipoona hayo, wakamwambia Yesu “Angalia wanafunzi wako wanavunja sheria wanatenda siku yasiyo yuhusiwa siku ya Sabato''
But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, Behold, thy disciples do that which it 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 ye not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him;
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 ate the show-bread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them 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 ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
6 Lakini nasema kwenu kuwa aliye mkuu kuliko hekalu yuko hapa.
But I say to you, that in this place is [one] greater than the temple.
7 Kama mngalijua hii ina maanisha nini; nataka rehema na siyo dhabihu; msingaliwahukumu wasio na hatia,
But if ye had known what [this] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 Kwa kuwa Mwana wa Adamu ndiye Bwana wa Sabato.”
For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.
9 Kisha Yesu akatoka pale akaenda katika sinagogi lao.
And when he had departed thence, he 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 behold, there was a man who had [his] hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? 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, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it shall fall into a pit on the sabbath, will he not lay hold on 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.''
How much then is a man better than a sheep? wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
13 Kisha Yesu akamwambia yule mtu,” Nyoosha mkono wako” Akaunyoosha, na ukapata afya, kama ule mwingine.
Then saith he to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched [it] out; and [it] was restored to a sound state like the other.
14 Lakini Mafarisayo wakatoka njena wakapanga jinsi ya kumwangamiza walienda nje kupanga kinyume chake. Walikuwa wakitafuta jinsi ya kumuua.
Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
15 Yesu alipoelewa hili aliondoka hapo. Watu wengi walimfuata, na akawaaponya wote.
But when Jesus knew [it], he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all.
16 Aliwaagiza wasije wakamfanya afahamike kwa wengine,
And charged them that they should not make him known:
17 kwamba itimie ile kweli, iliyokuwa imesemwa na nabii Isaya, akisema,
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by 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.
Behold, my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles.
19 Hatahangaika wala kulia kwa nguvu; wala awaye yote kusikia sauti yake mitaani.
He shall not contend, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
20 Hatalivunja tete lililochubuliwa; hatazima utambi wowote utoao moshi, mpaka atakapoleta hukumu ikashinda.
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he shall send forth judgment to victory.
21 Na Mataifa watakuwa na ujasiri katika jina lake.
And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
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 was brought to him one possessed with a demon, blind and dumb; and he healed him, so that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw.
23 Makutano wote walishangaa na kusema,”Yaweza mtu huyu kuwa mwana wa Daudi?”
And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this 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] doth not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub 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 Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself, is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself, shall not stand.
26 Ikiwa Shetani, atamwondoa Shetani, basi anajipinga katika nafsi yake mwenyewe.
And if Satan casteth out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall 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.
And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your children expel [them]? therefore they shall be your judges.
28 Na kama natoa pepo kwa nguvu za Roho wa Mungu, basi ufalme wa Mungu umekjua kwenu.
But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come to 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 else, how can one enter into a strong man's house, and seize his goods, except he shall 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 that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth abroad.
31 Kwa hiyo nasema kwenu, kila dhambi na kufuru watu watasamehewa, ila kumkufuru Roho Mtakatifu hawatasamehewa.
Wherefore I say to you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men: but the blasphemy [against] the [Holy] Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.
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 speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whoever speaketh against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the [world] 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 else 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.
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.
35 Mtu mwema katika akiba njema ya moyo wake hutoka mema, na mtu mwovu katika akiba ovu ya moyo wake, hutoa kilicho kiovu.
A good man, out of the good treasure of the heart, bringeth forth good things: and an evil man, out of the evil treasure, bringeth forth evil things.
36 Nawaambia kuwa katika siku ya hukumu watu watatoa hesabu ya kila neno lisilo na maana walilosema.
But I say to you, That for every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account in the day of judgment.
37 Kwa kuwa kwa maneno yako utahesabiwa haki na kwa maneno yako utahukumiwa.”
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
38 Kisha baadhi ya waandishi na Mafarisayo walimjibu Yesu wakisema” Mwalimu, tungependa kuona ishara kutoka kwako.”
Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
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 seeketh for a sign, and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah.
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 whale's belly: so shall 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 men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a 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 shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.
43 Wakati pepo mchafu amtokapo mtu, hupita mahali pasipo na maji akitafuta kupumzika, lakini hapaoni
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and he findeth none.
44 Kisha husema, 'nitarudi kwenye nyumba yangu niliyotoka.' Arudipo hukuta ile nyumba imesafishwa na iko tayari.
Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth [it] empty, swept, and garnished.
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 goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last [state] of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also to this wicked 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 people, behold, [his] mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
47 Mtu mmoja akamwambia, “Tazama mama yako na ndugu zako wamesimama nje, wanatafuta kuongea nawe”.
Then one said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
48 Lakini Yesu alijibu na kumwambia aliyemjulisha, “Mama yangu ni nani? Na ndugu zangu ni akina nani?”
But he answered and said to him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49 Naye alinyoosha mkono wake kwa wanafunzi na kusema, “Tazama, hawa ni mama na ndugu zangu!
And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
50 Kwa kuwa yeyote afanyae mapenzi ya Baba yangu aliye mbinguni, mtu huyo ndiye ndugu yangu, dada yangu na mama yangu”.
For whoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
