Mathayo 9
1 Yesu akaingia kwenye boti, akavuka na akafika kwenye mji alipokuwa anaishi.
And going on board the ship, he passed over and came to his own city.
2 Tazama, wakamletea mtu aliyepooza amelazwa kwenye godoro. alipooiona imani yao, Yesu akamwambia mtu aliyepooza, “Mwanangu, uwe na furaha, Dhambi zako zimesamehewa”
And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Be of good courage, child; thy sins are forgiven.
3 Tazama, Baadhi ya walimu wa sheria wakasemezana wao kwa wao, “Huyu mtu anakufuru”
And behold, certain of the scribes said to themselves, This [man] blasphemes.
4 Yesu akatambua mawazo yao na kusema, “Kwa nini mnawaza maovu moyoni mwenu?
And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, Why do ye think evil things in your hearts?
5 Kipi kilicho rahisi kusema, 'Dhambi zako zimesamehewa' au kusema, 'Simama na utembee?'
For which is easier: to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise up and walk?
6 Lakini mtambue ya kwamba Mwana wa Adamu anao uwezo wa kusamehe dhambi...” aliyasema haya kwa yule aliyepooza, “Simama, chukua godoro lako, na uende nyumbani kwako”
But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then he says to the paralytic, ) Rise up, take up thy bed and go to thy house.
7 Ndipo yule mtu akasimama na kuondoka kwenda nyumbani kwake.
And he rose up and went to his house.
8 Makutano walipoona hayo, walishangaa na kumsifu Mungu, ambaye amewapa uwezo huo watu.
But the crowds seeing [it], were in fear, and glorified God who gave such power to men.
9 Na Yesu alipokuwa akipita kutoka hapo, alimwona mtu ambaye aliitwa kwa jina la Mathayo, ambaye alikuwa amekaa sehemu ya watoza ushuru. Naye akamwambia, “Nifuate mimi” Naye akasimama na kumfuata.
And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, called Matthew, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.
10 Na Yesu alipoketi ili ale chakula ndani ya nyumba, wakaja watoza ushuru wengi na watu waovu wakashiriki chakula pamoja na Yesu na wanafunzi wake.
And it came to pass, as he lay at table in the house, that behold, many tax-gatherers and sinners came and lay at table with Jesus and his disciples.
11 Ndipo Mafarisayo walipoona hayo, wakawaambia wanafunzi “Kwa nini mwalimu wenu anakula chakula pamoja na watoza ushuru na watu waovu?”
And the Pharisees seeing [it], said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with tax-gatherers and sinners?
12 Yesu aliposikia hayo, naye alisema “Watu walio na afya nzuri hawahitaji mganga, isipokuwa wale walio wagonjwa.
But [Jesus] hearing it, said, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.
13 Inawapasa muende mkajifunze maana yake, “Ninapenda rehema na siyo dhabihu” Kwa kuwa nilikuja, si kwa wenye haki kutubu, lakini kwa wenye dhambi.
But go and learn what [that] is — I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I have not come to call righteous [men] but sinners.
14 Ndipo wanafunzi wa Yohana wakaja kwake na kusema, “Kwa nini sisi na mafarisayo tunafunga, lakini wanafunzi wako hawafungi?”
Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees often fast, but thy disciples fast not?
15 Yesu akawaambia, Je wasindikizaji wa arusi wanaweza kuwa na huzuni pindi Bwana arusi anapokuwa pamoja nao? Lakini siku zinakuja ambapo Bwana arusi atachukuliwa kutoka kwao, na ndipo watakapofunga.
And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn so long as the bridegroom is with them? But days will come when the bridegroom will have been taken away from them, and then they will fast.
16 Hakuna mtu anayeweka kipande cha nguo mpya kwenye nguo ya zamani, kiraka kitatatuliwa kutoka kwenye nguo na mpasuko mkubwa utatokea.
But no one puts a patch of new cloth on an old garment, for its filling up takes from the garment and a worse rent takes place.
17 Hakuna watu wanaoweka mvinyo mpya katika chombo cha mvinyo wa zamani, ikiwa watafanya, ngozi itachanika, mvinyo utatoweka na ngozi itaharibika. Badala yake, huweka mvinyo mpya katika ngozi mpya na vyote vitakuwa salama.
Nor do men put new wine into old skins, otherwise the skins burst and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.
18 Wakati Yesu alipokuwa akiwaambia mambo hayo, tazama, afisa akaja akasujudu mbele yake, Naye akasema, “Binti yangu amefariki punde, lakini njoo na uweke mkono wako juu yake na yeye ataishi tena.
As he spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler coming in did homage to him, saying, My daughter has by this died; but come and lay thy hand upon her and she shall live.
19 Ndipo Yesu akasimama na kumfuata na wanafunzi wake pia.
And Jesus rose up and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.
20 Tazama, mwanamke ambaye alikuwa anatokwa damu kwa muda wa miaka kumi na miwili, akaja karibu na Yesu na akagusa sehemu ya pindo la vazi lake.
And behold, a woman, who had had a bloody flux [for] twelve years, came behind and touched the hem of his garment;
21 Kwa kuwa alisema, “Endapo nitagusa vazi lake, nami nitapata uponyaji.”
for she said within herself, If I should only touch his garment I shall be healed.
22 Yesu akageuka na kumtazama na kumwambia. “Binti, jipe moyo, imani yako imekufanya upone,” Na muda huo huo mwanamke akapata uponyaji muda huo.
But Jesus turning and seeing her, said, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.
23 Na Yesu alipofika kwenye nyumba ya afisa, naye aliwaona wapiga tarumbeta na umati wa watu ulikuwa ukipiga kelele.
And when Jesus was come to the house of the ruler, and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a tumult,
24 Naye akasema, “Tokeni hapa, kwa kuwa binti hajafa, bali amelala. Lakini wao walicheka na kumkebehi.
he said, Withdraw, for the damsel is not dead, but sleeps. And they derided him.
25 Na wale watu walipotolewa nje, naye akaingia chumbani na kumshika mkono na msichana akaamka.
But when the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand; and the damsel rose up.
26 Na habari hizi zikaenea katika mji mzima.
And the fame of it went out into all that land.
27 Ndipo Yesu alipokuwa akipita kutoka pale, wanaume wawili vipofu wakamfuata. Waliendelea kupaza sauti wakisema, “Tunaomba uturehemu, Mwana wa Daudi.”
And as Jesus passed on thence, two blind [men] followed him, crying and saying, Have mercy on us, Son of David.
28 Pindi Yesu apokuwa amefika kwenye nyumba, wale vipofu wakaja kwake. Yesu akawaambia, “Mnaamini kwamba ninaweza kutenda?” Nao wakamwambia “Ndiyo, Bwana”
And when he was come to the house, the blind [men] came to him. And Jesus says to them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yea, Lord.
29 Ndipo Yesu akagusa macho yao na kusema “Na ifanyike hivyo kwenu kama imani yenu ilivyo”
Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it unto you.
30 Na macho yao yakafumbuka. Ndipo Yesu akasisitiza akawaamuru na kusema “Angalieni mtu yeyote asifahamu kuhusu jambo hili.”
And their eyes were opened; and Jesus charged them sharply, saying, See, let no man know it.
31 Lakini watu hawa wawili wakaondoka na kutangaza habari hizi sehemu zote za mji.
But they, when they were gone out, spread his name abroad in all that land.
32 Ndipo wale wanaume wawili walipokuwa wakienda zao, Tazama, mtu mmoja bubu aliyepagawa na pepo akaletwa kwa Yesu.
But as these were going out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed by a demon.
33 Na pepo walipomtoka, yule mtu bubu akaanza kuongea. Umati ukashangazwa na kusema “Hii haijawahi kutokea katika Israel.
And the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake. And the crowds were astonished, saying, It has never been seen thus in Israel.
34 Lakini mafarisayo walikuwa wakisema “Kwa wakuu wa pepo, anawafukuza mapepo”
But the Pharisees said, He casts out the demons through the prince of the demons.
35 Yesu akaenda kwenye miji yote na vijiji. Naye akaendelea kufundisha katika masinagogi, akihubiri injili ya ufalme, na kuponya magonjwa ya kila aina na udhaifu wa aina zote.
And Jesus went round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness.
36 Wakati alipotazama umati, naye aliwaonea huruma, kwa sababu walisumbuka na kuvunjika moyo. Walikuwa kama kondoo wasio na mchungaji.
But when he saw the crowds he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed, and cast away as sheep not having a shepherd.
37 Naye akawaambia wanafunzi wake. “Mavuno ni mengi, lakini wafanya kazi ni wachache.
Then saith he to his disciples, The harvest [is] great and the workmen [are] few;
38 Hivyo basi upesi mwombeni Bwana wa mavuno, ili kwamba atume wafanya kazi katika mavuno yake.”
supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth workmen unto his harvest.
