Mathayo 9
1 Yesu akaingia kwenye boti, akavuka na akafika kwenye mji alipokuwa anaishi.
He entered into a boat and crossed 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”
Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralysed, lying on a bed. Yeshua, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.”
3 Tazama, Baadhi ya walimu wa sheria wakasemezana wao kwa wao, “Huyu mtu anakufuru”
Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes.”
4 Yesu akatambua mawazo yao na kusema, “Kwa nini mnawaza maovu moyoni mwenu?
Yeshua, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?
5 Kipi kilicho rahisi kusema, 'Dhambi zako zimesamehewa' au kusema, 'Simama na utembee?'
For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get 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 you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins—” (then he said to the paralytic), “Get up, and take up your mat, and go to your house.”
7 Ndipo yule mtu akasimama na kuondoka kwenda nyumbani kwake.
He arose and departed to his house.
8 Makutano walipoona hayo, walishangaa na kumsifu Mungu, ambaye amewapa uwezo huo watu.
But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled and glorified God, who had given such authority 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 Yeshua passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got 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.
As he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Yeshua 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 said to his disciples, “Why does your rabbi eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
12 Yesu aliposikia hayo, naye alisema “Watu walio na afya nzuri hawahitaji mganga, isipokuwa wale walio wagonjwa.
When Yeshua heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
13 Inawapasa muende mkajifunze maana yake, “Ninapenda rehema na siyo dhabihu” Kwa kuwa nilikuja, si kwa wenye haki kutubu, lakini kwa wenye dhambi.
But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not 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 Yochanan’s disciples came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?”
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.
Yeshua said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be 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.
No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.
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 people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, 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 told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshipped him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”
19 Ndipo Yesu akasimama na kumfuata na wanafunzi wake pia.
Yeshua got up and followed him, as 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.
Behold, a woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;
21 Kwa kuwa alisema, “Endapo nitagusa vazi lake, nami nitapata uponyaji.”
for she said within herself, “If I just touch his garment, I will be made well.”
22 Yesu akageuka na kumtazama na kumwambia. “Binti, jipe moyo, imani yako imekufanya upone,” Na muda huo huo mwanamke akapata uponyaji muda huo.
But Yeshua, turning around and seeing her, said, “Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.
23 Na Yesu alipofika kwenye nyumba ya afisa, naye aliwaona wapiga tarumbeta na umati wa watu ulikuwa ukipiga kelele.
When Yeshua came into the ruler’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd in noisy disorder,
24 Naye akasema, “Tokeni hapa, kwa kuwa binti hajafa, bali amelala. Lakini wao walicheka na kumkebehi.
he said to them, “Make room, because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.” They were ridiculing him.
25 Na wale watu walipotolewa nje, naye akaingia chumbani na kumshika mkono na msichana akaamka.
But when the crowd was sent out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
26 Na habari hizi zikaenea katika mji mzima.
The report of this 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.”
As Yeshua passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out 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”
When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Yeshua said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They told 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 done to you.”
30 Na macho yao yakafumbuka. Ndipo Yesu akasisitiza akawaamuru na kusema “Angalieni mtu yeyote asifahamu kuhusu jambo hili.”
Then their eyes were opened. Yeshua strictly commanded them, saying, “See that no one knows about this.”
31 Lakini watu hawa wawili wakaondoka na kutangaza habari hizi sehemu zote za mji.
But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.
32 Ndipo wale wanaume wawili walipokuwa wakienda zao, Tazama, mtu mmoja bubu aliyepagawa na pepo akaletwa kwa Yesu.
As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.
33 Na pepo walipomtoka, yule mtu bubu akaanza kuongea. Umati ukashangazwa na kusema “Hii haijawahi kutokea katika Israel.
When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marvelled, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
34 Lakini mafarisayo walikuwa wakisema “Kwa wakuu wa pepo, anawafukuza mapepo”
But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of the demons, he casts 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.
Yeshua went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness amongst 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 for them because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 Naye akawaambia wanafunzi wake. “Mavuno ni mengi, lakini wafanya kazi ni wachache.
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the labourers are few.
38 Hivyo basi upesi mwombeni Bwana wa mavuno, ili kwamba atume wafanya kazi katika mavuno yake.”
Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out labourers into his harvest.”
