Mathayo 9
1 Yesu akaingia kwenye boti, akavuka na akafika kwenye mji alipokuwa anaishi.
And he entered into a boat, and passed over, and came into 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 man sick with the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the sick of the palsy, Son, be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven thee.
3 Tazama, Baadhi ya walimu wa sheria wakasemezana wao kwa wao, “Huyu mtu anakufuru”
And behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This [man] blasphemeth.
4 Yesu akatambua mawazo yao na kusema, “Kwa nini mnawaza maovu moyoni mwenu?
And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, Why think ye evil 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 thee; or to say, Arise, 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 hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick with the palsy, ) Arise, take up thy bed, and go to thy house.
7 Ndipo yule mtu akasimama na kuondoka kwenda nyumbani kwake.
And he arose, and departed to his house.
8 Makutano walipoona hayo, walishangaa na kumsifu Mungu, ambaye amewapa uwezo huo watu.
But when the multitude saw [it], they marveled, 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.
And as Jesus was passing from thence, he saw a man named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith to him, Follow me. And he arose, 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 Jesus sat at table in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
11 Ndipo Mafarisayo walipoona hayo, wakawaambia wanafunzi “Kwa nini mwalimu wenu anakula chakula pamoja na watoza ushuru na watu waovu?”
And when the Pharisees saw [it], they said to his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
12 Yesu aliposikia hayo, naye alisema “Watu walio na afya nzuri hawahitaji mganga, isipokuwa wale walio wagonjwa.
But when Jesus heard [that], he said to them, They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are sick.
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 ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
14 Ndipo wanafunzi wa Yohana wakaja kwake na kusema, “Kwa nini sisi na mafarisayo tunafunga, lakini wanafunzi wako hawafungi?”
Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, 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 children of the bride-chamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be 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 man putteth a piece of new cloth to an old garment: for that which is put in to fill it up, taketh from the garment, and the rent is 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.
Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, 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.
While he was speaking these things to them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshiped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she will live.
19 Ndipo Yesu akasimama na kumfuata na wanafunzi wake pia.
And Jesus arose, 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 was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind [him], 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 may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
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 himself about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole 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 came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
24 Naye akasema, “Tokeni hapa, kwa kuwa binti hajafa, bali amelala. Lakini wao walicheka na kumkebehi.
He said to them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they derided him.
25 Na wale watu walipotolewa nje, naye akaingia chumbani na kumshika mkono na msichana akaamka.
But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
26 Na habari hizi zikaenea katika mji mzima.
And the fame of this went abroad 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 when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, [Thou] son of David, have mercy on us.
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 come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith to them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, 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 to 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 strictly charged them, saying, See [that] no man know [it].
31 Lakini watu hawa wawili wakaondoka na kutangaza habari hizi sehemu zote za mji.
But they, when they had departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
32 Ndipo wale wanaume wawili walipokuwa wakienda zao, Tazama, mtu mmoja bubu aliyepagawa na pepo akaletwa kwa Yesu.
As thy went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon.
33 Na pepo walipomtoka, yule mtu bubu akaanza kuongea. Umati ukashangazwa na kusema “Hii haijawahi kutokea katika Israel.
And when the demon was cast out, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes marveled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
34 Lakini mafarisayo walikuwa wakisema “Kwa wakuu wa pepo, anawafukuza mapepo”
But the Pharisees said, He casteth out 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 about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness, and every disease among the people.
36 Wakati alipotazama umati, naye aliwaonea huruma, kwa sababu walisumbuka na kuvunjika moyo. Walikuwa kama kondoo wasio na mchungaji.
But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Naye akawaambia wanafunzi wake. “Mavuno ni mengi, lakini wafanya kazi ni wachache.
Then saith he to his disciples, The harvest truly [is] plentiful, but the laborers [are] few.
38 Hivyo basi upesi mwombeni Bwana wa mavuno, ili kwamba atume wafanya kazi katika mavuno yake.”
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest.
