Mathayo 9
1 Yesu akaingia kwenye boti, akavuka na akafika kwenye mji alipokuwa anaishi.
So he went on board, crossed the sea, 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 here they brought to him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic, "Courage, son, your sins are forgiven."
3 Tazama, Baadhi ya walimu wa sheria wakasemezana wao kwa wao, “Huyu mtu anakufuru”
And behold! certain scribes said to themselves, "This man is blaspheming."
4 Yesu akatambua mawazo yao na kusema, “Kwa nini mnawaza maovu moyoni mwenu?
And because Jesus knew well their thought, he said.
5 Kipi kilicho rahisi kusema, 'Dhambi zako zimesamehewa' au kusema, 'Simama na utembee?'
"Why do you think evil in your hearts? For which is easier, to say’Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise 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 you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins"- he then says to the paralytic, "Rise, take up your bed, and go to your home."
7 Ndipo yule mtu akasimama na kuondoka kwenda nyumbani kwake.
And he rose and went to his home.
8 Makutano walipoona hayo, walishangaa na kumsifu Mungu, ambaye amewapa uwezo huo watu.
But all the crowd were awestruck, and glorified God, who had given 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.
As Jesus was passing thence, he saw a man called Mathew sitting at the tax-office, and said to him, "Follow me."
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 he rose and followed him. And while he was at table in Matthew’s house, there came many tax-gatherers and sinners, and they dined 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?”
When the Pharisees saw it, they kept saying to his disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with the tax-gatherers and sinners?"
12 Yesu aliposikia hayo, naye alisema “Watu walio na afya nzuri hawahitaji mganga, isipokuwa wale walio wagonjwa.
"It is not those who are well," said Jesus, when he heard this, "but the sick, who need a doctor.
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 this means, "It is mercy I desire, and not sacrifice; for I am come not to call just men, but sinners."
14 Ndipo wanafunzi wa Yohana wakaja kwake na kusema, “Kwa nini sisi na mafarisayo tunafunga, lakini wanafunzi wako hawafungi?”
At that time the disciples of Johncame and asked him, "Why are we and the Pharisees always fasting, while your disciples are 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.
"Can the friends fast at a wedding-feast," said Jesus, "so long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom has been taken 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.
"No one ever sews a piece of undressed cloth on an old cloak. If they did, the patch put on to fill it up would tear away from the cloak, and the rent be made worse.
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 they put new wine into old wine-skins; if they did, the wine- skins would split, the wine would run out, and the skins be ruined. Instead, they put new wine into fresh wine-skins and both are preserved."
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 was saying these words to them, a ruler came up and knelt before him, saying. "My daughter has just died; but come, put your hand upon her, and she will live."
19 Ndipo Yesu akasimama na kumfuata na wanafunzi wake pia.
And Jesus rose 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.
But a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him, and touched the tassel of his cloak.
21 Kwa kuwa alisema, “Endapo nitagusa vazi lake, nami nitapata uponyaji.”
For she said to herself, "If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured."
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 turned and saw her and said, "Be of good courage, daughter, your faith has healed you." 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.
Now when Jesus had come into the house of the ruler, and had seen the flute-players and the wailing crowd, he said,
24 Naye akasema, “Tokeni hapa, kwa kuwa binti hajafa, bali amelala. Lakini wao walicheka na kumkebehi.
"Leave the room, for the little girl is not dead, she is sleeping." And they began laughing at him.
25 Na wale watu walipotolewa nje, naye akaingia chumbani na kumshika mkono na msichana akaamka.
When, however, the crowd had been driven out, he went in and took her hand, and the little girl woke up.
26 Na habari hizi zikaenea katika mji mzima.
And the report of this spread throughout that whole region.
27 Ndipo Yesu alipokuwa akipita kutoka pale, wanaume wawili vipofu wakamfuata. Waliendelea kupaza sauti wakisema, “Tunaomba uturehemu, Mwana wa Daudi.”
And as he went on from thence two blind men followed Jesus, crying, "Have pity 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 had gone indoors, they came to him. "Do you believe that I can do this?" asked Jesus. "Yes, Lord," they answered.
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," and their eyes were opened.
30 Na macho yao yakafumbuka. Ndipo Yesu akasisitiza akawaamuru na kusema “Angalieni mtu yeyote asifahamu kuhusu jambo hili.”
Jesus charged them sternly, saying, "See to it that you let no one know."
31 Lakini watu hawa wawili wakaondoka na kutangaza habari hizi sehemu zote za mji.
But they went and published his fame in that whole region.
32 Ndipo wale wanaume wawili walipokuwa wakienda zao, Tazama, mtu mmoja bubu aliyepagawa na pepo akaletwa kwa Yesu.
And as they were departing a dumb demoniac was brought to him,
33 Na pepo walipomtoka, yule mtu bubu akaanza kuongea. Umati ukashangazwa na kusema “Hii haijawahi kutokea katika Israel.
and when he had driven out the demon, the dumb spoke. The crowds were amazed, saying, "Never was such a thing seen in Israel!"
34 Lakini mafarisayo walikuwa wakisema “Kwa wakuu wa pepo, anawafukuza mapepo”
But the Pharisees kept saying, "It is in the power of the Prince of the demons that he is casting out 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 continued to go throughout all the cities and towns, teaching in the synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and infirmity.
36 Wakati alipotazama umati, naye aliwaonea huruma, kwa sababu walisumbuka na kuvunjika moyo. Walikuwa kama kondoo wasio na mchungaji.
And when he saw the crowds he had compassion on them because they were distressed and fainting, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 Naye akawaambia wanafunzi wake. “Mavuno ni mengi, lakini wafanya kazi ni wachache.
And he said to his disciples. "The harvest is great, but the laborers are few;
38 Hivyo basi upesi mwombeni Bwana wa mavuno, ili kwamba atume wafanya kazi katika mavuno yake.”
"therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to thrust forth laborers into his harvest field."
