Mathayo 13
1 Katika siku hiyo Yesu aliondoka nyumbani na kukaa kando ya bahari.
The same day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
2 Umati mkubwa ulikusanyika kwa kumzunguka, aliingia ndani ya mtumbwi na kukaa ndani yake. Umati wote walisimama kando ya bahari.
And great multitudes were gathered together to him, so that he went into a boat, and sat down; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 Kisha Yesu alisema maneno mengi kwa mifano, Alisema, “Tazama, mpanzi alienda kupanda.
And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
4 Alipokuwa akipanda baadhi ya mbegu zilianguka kando ya njia na ndege walikuja wakazidonoa.
And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them:
5 Mbegu zingine zilianguka juu ya mwamba, ambapo hazikupata udongo wa kutosha. Ghafla zilichipuka kwa sababu udongo haukuwa na kina.
Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and immediately they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
6 Lakini jua lilipo chomoza zilichomwa kwa sababu hazikuwa na mizizi, na zilikauka.
And when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Mbengu zingine zilianguka kati ya miti yenye miiba. Miti yenye miiba ilirefuka juu ikaisonga.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
8 Mbegu zingine zilianguka kwenye udongo mzuri na kuzaa mbegu, zingine mara mia moja zaidi, zingine sitini na zingine thelathini
But others fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
9 Aliye na masikio na asikie.
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 Wanafunzi walikuja na kumwambia Yesu, “Kwa nini unazungumza na makutano kwa mifano?”
And the disciples came, and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?
11 Yesu alijibu kuwaambia, “Mmepewa upendeleo wa kufahamu siri za ufalme wa mbinguni, bali kwao hawajapewa.
He answered and said to them, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 Lakini yeyote aliyenacho, kwake yeye ataongezewa zaidi, na atapata faida kubwa. Ilasiye nacho hata kile alichonacho atanyang'anywa.
For whoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.
13 Hivyo naongea nao kwa mifano kwa sababu ingawa wanaona, wasione kweli. Na ingawa wanasikia wasisikie wala kufahamu.
Therefore I speak to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 Unabii wa Isaya umetimia kwao, ule usemao, “Msikiapo msikie, lakini kwa namna yoyote hamtaelewa; wakati mwonapo muweze kuona, lakini kwa namna yeyote ile msijue.
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15 Na mioyo ya watu hawa imekuwa giza, ni vigumu kusikia, na wamefumba macho yao, ili wasiweze kuona kwa macho yao, au kusikia kwa masikio yao, au kufahamu kwa mioyo yao, hivyo wangenigeukia tena, na ningewaponya.'
For this people’s heart has become dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
16 Bali macho yenu yamebarikiwa, kwa kuwa yanaona, na masikio yenu kwa kuwa yanasikia.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17 Hakika nawaambia manabii wengi na watu wenye haki walikuwa na hamu ya kuyaona mambo yale myaonayo, na hawakuweza kuyaona. Walitamani kusikia mambo yale mnayosikia, hawakuyasikia.
For verily I say to you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
18 . Sasa sikilizeni mfano wa mpanzi.
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19 Wakati yeyote asikiapo neno la ufalme na asilifahamu, ndipo mwovu huja na kukinyakua kilichokwisha kupandwa ndani ya moyo wake. Hii ni mbegu ile iliyopandwa kando ya njia.
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the way side.
20 Yeye aliyepandwa katika miamba ni yule asikiaye neno na kulipokea haraka kwa furaha.
But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and immediately with joy receiveth it;
21 Bado hana mizizi ndani yake, ila huvumilia kwa kitambo kifupi. Wakati matatizo au mateso yanapotokea kwa sababu ya neno hujikwaa ghafla.
Yet he hath not root in himself, but endureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, immediately he is offended.
22 Aliyepandwa kati ya miti ya miiba, huyu ni yule alisikiaye neno lakini masumbuko ya ulimwengu na udaganyifu wa utajiri hulisonga lile neno lisije likazaa matunda. (aiōn g165)
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 Aliyepandwa kwenye udongo mzuri, huyu ni yule asikiaye neno na kulifahamu. Huyu ni yule azaaye matunda na kuendelea kuzaa moja zaidi ya mara mia, nyingine sitini, nyingine thelathini.''
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
24 Yesu aliwapa mfano mwingine. Akisema, “Ufalme wa mbinguni unafananishwa na mtu aliye panda mbengu nzuri katika shamba lake
Another parable he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field:
25 Lakini watu waliposinzia, adui wake akaja pia akapanda magugu katikati ya ngano kisha akaenda zake.
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 Baadaye ngano ilipoota na kutoa mazao yake, ndipo magugu yalitokea pia.
But when the blade had sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 Na watumishi wa mwenye shamba walikuja wakamwambia, 'Bwana, hukupanda mbengu nzuri katika shamba lako? Imekuwaje sasa lina magugu?
So the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? how then hath it tares?
28 Akawaambia, Adui ametenda hili.' Watumishi walimwambia, “Kwa hiyo unataka twende tukayang'oe?”
He said to them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said to him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 Mwenye shamba akisema, 'Hapana, wakati mnayang'oa magugu mtang'oa pamoja na ngano.
But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Yaacheni yakue pamoja mpaka wakati wa mavuno. Wakati wa mavuno nitasema kwa wavunaji, 'Kwanza yang'oeri magugu na yafungeni matita matita na kuyachoma, lakini kusanyeni ngano katika ghala langu.''''
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
31 Kisha Yesu aliwatolea mfano mwingine. Akasema, “Ufalme wa mbinguni unafanana na mbegu ya haradali ambayo mtu aliichukua na kuipanda katika shamba lake.
Another parable he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
32 Mbegu hii kwa hakika ni ndogo kuliko mbegu zingine zote. Lakini imeapo huwa kubwa kuliko mimea yote ya bustani, huwa mti, kiasi kwamba ndege wa angani huja na kujenga viota katika matawi yake.”
Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge on its branches.
33 Akawaambia mfano mwingine tena.”Ufalme wa mbinguni ni kama chachu ile iliyo twaliwa na mwanamke na kuichanganya kwa vipimo vitatu kwa unga mpaka viumuke.
Another parable he spoke to them; The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
34 Hayo yote Yesu aliyasema kwenye umati kwa mifano. Na pasipo mifano hakusema chochote kwao.
All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable he spoke not to them:
35 Hii ilikuwa kwamba kile kilichokwisha semwa kupitia kwa nabii kiweze kutimia, pale aliposema, “Nitafumbua kinywa changu katika mifano. Nitasema mambo yale yaliyokuwa yamefichwa tangu misingi ya ulimwengu”.
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
36 Kisha Yesu aliwaacha makutano na kwenda nyumbani. Wanafunzi wake walimwendea na kusema, “Tufafanulie mfano wa magugu ya shambani.''
Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came to him, saying, Make known to us the meaning of the parable of the tares of the field.
37 Yesu alijibu na kusema, “Apandae mbegu nzuri ni Mwana wa Adamu.
He answered and said to them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38 Shamba ni ulimwengu; na mbegu nzuri, hawa ni wana wa ufalme. Magugu ni wana wa yule mwovu, na adui aliye zipanda ni ibilisi.
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Kama vile magugu yanavyo kusanywa na kuchomwa moto, hivyo ndivyo itakavyo kuwa mwisho wa ulimwengu. (aiōn g165)
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. (aiōn g165)
41 Mwana wa Adamu atatuma malaika wake, na kukusanya kutoka katika ufalme wake mambo yote yaliyosababisha dhambi na wale watendao maasi.
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them who do iniquity;
42 Watawatupa wote katika tanuru la moto, ambako kutakuwa na kilio na kusaga meno.
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Ndipo watu wenye haki watakapong'aa kama jua katika Ufalme wa Baba yao. Yeye aliye na masikio na sikie.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
44 Ufalme wa mbinguni ni kama hazina iliyofichwa shambani. Mtu akaiona na kuificha. Katika furaha yake akaenda kuuza vyote alivyokuwa navyo, na kulinunua shamba.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hid in a field; which when a man hath found, he hideth, and from joy over it goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 Tena, ufalme wa mbinguni ni kama mtu anayefanya biashara atafutaye lulu yenye thamani.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant man, seeking fine pearls:
46 Wakati alipoiona ile yenye thamani, alienda akauza kila kitu alichokuwa nacho na akainunua.
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47 Ufalme wa mbinguni ni kama nyavu iliyo ndani ya bahari, na kwamba hukusanya viumbe vya kila aina.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48 Ulipojaa wavuvi waliuvuta ufukweni. Kisha wakakaa chini wakakusanya vitu vyema ndani ya vyombo, lakini visivyo na thamani vilitupwa mbali.
Which, when it was full, they drew to the shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast away the bad.
49 Itakuwa namna hii katika mwisho wa dunia. Malaika watakuja na kuwatenga watu waovu kutoka miongoni mwa wenye haki. (aiōn g165)
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 Na kuwatupa ndani ya tanuru ya moto, ambako kutakuwa na maombolezo na kusaga meno.
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 Mmefahamu mambo yote haya? Wanafunzi walimjibu, ''Ndiyo.''
Jesus saith to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yea, Lord.
52 Kisha Yesu akawambia, ''Kila mwandishi ambaye amekuwa mwanafunzi wa ufalme anafanana na mwenye nyumba atoaye katika hazina yake vitu vipya na vya kale.''
Then said he to them, Therefore every scribe who is instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a man that is an householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
53 IkawaYesu alipomaliza mifano yote hiyo, akaondoka katika sehemu hiyo.
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
54 Kisha Yesu akafika katika mkoa wake na akawafundisha watu katika sinagogi. Matokeo yake ni kuwa walishangaa na kusema, “Ni wapi mtu huyu alipopata hekima hii na miujiza hii?
And when he had come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, How hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
55 Mtu huyu siyo mwana wa seremala? Mariamu siyo mamaye? Na ndugu zake siyo Yakobo, Yusuph, Simoni na Yuda?
Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 Na dada zake tunao hapa petu? Basi mtu huyu ameyapata wapi haya yote?”.
And his sisters, are they not all with us? How then hath this man all these things?
57 Aliwachukiza. Lakini Yesu aliwambia, “Nabii hakosi kuwa na heshima isipokuwa kwao na katika nchi yao.
And they were offended in him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and in his own house.
58 Na hakuweza kufanya miujiza mingi kwa sababu hawakuwa na imani naye.
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
