Mathayo 15
1 Ndipo Mafarisayo na waadishi walikuja kwa Yesu kutoka Yerusalemu. Na kusema,
Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem come up to Jesus, saying,
2 “Kwa nini wanafunzi wanayahalifu mapokeo ya wazee? Kwa kuwa hawanawi mikono yao wanapokuwa wanakula chakula.''
Why do thy disciples transgress what has been delivered by the ancients? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
3 Yesu akawajibu na kuwaambia, “Nanyi kwa nini mnaihalifu sheria ya Bwana kwa ajili ya mapokeo yenu?
But he answering said to them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching?
4 Kwa kuwa Mungu alisema, 'Mheshimu baba yako na mama yako; na 'Asemaye uovu kwa baba yake na mama yake, hakika atakufa.'
For God commanded saying, Honour father and mother; and, He that speaks ill of father or mother, let him die the death.
5 Lakini ninyi husema, 'Kila amwambiaye baba yake na mama yake, '“Kila msaada ambao angepata kutoka kwangu sasa ni zawadi kutoka kwa Mungu,'''
But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever [it be] by which [received] from me thou wouldest be profited:
6 “Mtu huyo hana haja ya kumuheshimu baba yake. Katika namna hii mmelitangua neno la Mungu kwa ajili ya mapokeo yenu.
and he shall in no wise honour his father or his mother; and ye have made void the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching.
7 Enyi wanafiki, ni vema kama Isaya alivyo tabiri juu yenu aliposema,
Hypocrites! well has Esaias prophesied about you, saying,
8 'Watu hawa wananiheshimu mimi kwa midomo yao, lakini mioyo yao iko mbali nami.
This people honour me with the lips, but their heart is far away from me;
9 Wananiabudu bure, kwa sababu wanafundisha mafundisho yaliyo maagizo ya wanadamu.”'
but in vain do they worship me, teaching [as] teachings commandments of men.
10 Ndipo akawaita makutano na kuwaambia,” Sikilizeni na mfahamu
And having called to [him] the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand:
11 Hakuna kitu kiingiacho mdomoni mwa mtu na kumfanya najisi. Bali, kile kitokacho kinywani, hiki ndicho kimfanyacho mtu kuwa najisi.''
Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man; but what goes forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man.
12 Ndipo wanafunzi wakamwendea na kusema na Yesu, “Je!, Unafahamu Mafarisayo walipolisikia lile neno walikwazika?”
Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended?
13 Yesu aliwajibu na kusema, “Kila mmea ambao Baba yangu wa mbinguni hajaupanda utang'olewa.
But he answering said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.
14 Waacheni pekee, wao ni viongozi vipofu. Kama mtu kipofu atamuongoza kipofu mwenzake, wote wawili wataanguka shimoni.”
Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of blind: but if blind lead blind, both will fall into a ditch.
15 Petro akajibu na kumwambia Yesu,” Tuelezee mfano huu kwetu,
And Peter answering said to him, Expound to us this parable.
16 Yesu akajibu, ''Nanyi pia bado hamuelewi?
But he said, Are ye also still without intelligence?
17 Ninyi hamuoni kuwa kila kiendacho mdomoni hupitia tumboni na kwenda chooni?
Do ye not yet apprehend, that everything that enters into the mouth finds its way into the belly, and is cast forth into the draught?
18 Lakini vitu vyote vitokavyo mdomoni hutoka ndani ya moyo. Ndivyo vitu vimtiavyo mtu unajisi.
but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man.
19 Kwa kuwa katika moyo hutoka mawazo mabaya, uuaji, uzinzi, uasherati, wizi, ushuhuda wa uongo, na matusi.
For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies;
20 Haya ndiyo mambo yamtiayo mtu unajisi. Lakini kula bila kunawa mikono hakumfanyi mtu kuwa najisi.”
these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.
21 Ndipo Yesu akatoka mahali pale na akajitenga kuelekea pande za miji ya Tiro na Sidoni.
And Jesus, going forth from thence, went away into the parts of Tyre and Sidon;
22 Tazama akaja mwanamke Mkanani kutoka pande hizo. Akapaza sauti akisema, ''Nihurumie, Bwana, Mwana wa Daudi; binti yangu anateswa sana na pepo.''
and lo, a Canaanitish woman, coming out from those borders, cried [to him] saying, Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.
23 Lakini Yesu hakumjibu neno. Wanafunzi wake wakaja wakimsihi, wakisema, ''Muondoe aende zake, maana anatupigia kelele.''
But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came to [him] and asked him, saying, Dismiss her, for she cries after us.
24 Yesu aliwajibu na kusema, Sikutumwa kwa mtu yeyoye isipokuwa kwa kondoo waliopotea wa nyumba ya Israeli.''
But he answering said, I have not been sent save to the lost sheep of Israel's house.
25 Lakini alikuja na kuinama mbele yake, akisema, ''Bwana nisaidie.''
But she came and did him homage, saying, Lord, help me.
26 Alimjibu na kusema, “Siyo vema kuchukua chakula cha watoto na kuwatupia mbwa,”
But he answering said, It is not well to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.
27 Akasema, “Ndiyo, Bwana, hata hivyo mbwa wadogo hula chakula kiagukacho mezani mwa Bwana wao.”
But she said, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters.
28 Ndipo Yesu akajibu na akisema “Mwanamke, imani yako ni kubwa. Na ifanyike kwako kama utakavyo.” Na binti yake alikuwa ameponywa katika wakati huo.
Then Jesus answering said to her, O woman, thy faith [is] great. Be it to thee as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed from that hour.
29 Yesu aliondoka mahali pale na kwenda karibu na bahari ya Galilaya. Kisha alienda juu ya mlima na kuketi huko.
And Jesus, going away from thence, came towards the sea of Galilee, and he went up into the mountain and sat down there;
30 Kundi kubwa likaja kwake. Na kumletea viwete, vipofu, bubu, vilema na wengine wengi, waliokuwa wagonjwa. Waliwaweka katika miguu ya Yesu na akawaponya.
and great crowds came to him, having with them lame, blind, dumb, crippled, and many others, and they cast them at his feet, and he healed them:
31 Nao umati wakashangaa walipoona mabubu wakiongea, na vilema wakifanywa wazima, viwete wakitembea, na vipofu wakiona. Walimsifu Mungu wa Israeli.
so that the crowds wondered, seeing dumb speaking, crippled sound, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Yesu akawaita wanafunzi wake na kusema, “Nimewaonea huruma umati, kwa sababu wamekuwa nami kwa siku tatu bila kula kitu chochote. Sitawaaga waende kwao bila kula, wasije wakazimia njiani.”
But Jesus, having called his disciples to [him], said, I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat, and I would not send them away fasting lest they should faint on the way.
33 Wanafunzi wake wakamwambia, “Ni wapi tunaweza kupata mikate ya kutosha hapa nyikani kushibisha umati mkuwbwa hivi?”
And his disciples say to him, Whence should we have so many loaves in [the] wilderness as to satisfy so great a crowd?
34 Yesu akawaambia, “Mna mikate mingapi?” Wakasema, “Saba, na samaki wadogo wachache.”
And Jesus says to them, How many loaves have ye? But they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.
35 Yesu akawaamuru umati uketi chini.
And he commanded the crowds to lie down on the ground;
36 Aliitwaa ile mikate saba na samaki, na baada ya kushukuru, akaimega na kuwapa wanafunzi. Wanafunzi wakawapa umati.
and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he broke [them] and gave [them] to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.
37 Watu wote wakala na kutosheka. Na wakakusanya mabaki ya vipande vya chakula vilivyosalia vipande vipande, vilijaa vikapu saba.
And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was over and above of the fragments seven baskets full;
38 Wote waliokula walikuwa wanaume elfu nne bila wanawake na watoto.
but they that ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 Kisha Yesu akauaga umati waende zao na akaingia ndani ya mashua na kwenda sehemu za Magadani.
And, having dismissed the crowds, he went on board ship and came to the borders of Magadan.
