Mathayo 10
1 Yesu aliwaita wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili, akawapa uwezo wa kutoa pepo wachafu na kuponya magonjwa na maradhi yote.
And having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave them power to expel unclean spirits, and to cure diseases and maladies of every kind.
2 Majina ya hao mitume kumi na wawili ni haya: wa kwanza ni Simoni aitwae Petro, na Andrea ndugu yake; Yakobo mwana wa Zebedayo, na Yohane ndugu yake;
Now these are the names of the twelve apostles: The first, Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James, son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
3 Filipo na Bartholomayo, Thoma na Mathayo aliyekuwa mtoza ushuru; Yakobo mwana wa Alfayo, na Thadayo;
Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James, son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, surnamed Thaddeus;
4 Simoni Mkanaani, na Yuda Iskarioti ambaye alimsaliti Yesu.
and Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, he who betrayed him.
5 Yesu aliwatuma hao kumi na wawili na kuwapa maagizo haya: “Msiende kwa watu wa mataifa mengine, wala msiingie katika mji wa Wasamaria.
These twelve Jesus commissioned, instructing them, and saying: Go not away to the Gentiles, nor enter a Samaritan city;
6 Ila nendeni kwa watu wa Israeli waliopotea kama kondoo.
but go directly to the lost sheep of the stock of Israel.
7 Mnapokwenda hubirini hivi: Ufalme wa mbinguni umekaribia.
And as you go, proclaim, saying, The Reign of Heaven approaches.
8 Ponyeni wagonjwa, fufueni wafu, takaseni wenye ukoma, toeni pepo. Mmepewa bure, toeni bure.
Heal the sick, raise the dead; cleanse lepers, expel demons; freely they have received, freely give.
9 Msichukue mifukoni mwenu dhahabu, wala fedha, wala sarafu za shaba.
Put not gold or silver, or brass in your girdles;
10 Msichukue mkoba wa kuombea njiani, wala koti la ziada, wala viatu, wala fimbo. Maana mfanyakazi anastahili riziki yake.
carry no traveling bag, no spare coat, shoes, or staff; for the workman is worthy of his maintenance.
11 “Mkiingia katika mji wowote au kijiji, tafuteni humo mtu yeyote aliye tayari kuwakaribisheni, na kaeni naye mpaka mtakapoondoka mahali hapo.
And whatever city or village you enter, inquire what person of worth dwells there; and abide with him until you leave the place.
12 Mnapoingia nyumbani wasalimuni wenyeji wake.
When you enter the home, salute the family.
13 Kama wenyeji wa nyumba hiyo wakiipokea salamu hiyo, basi, amani yenu itakaa pamoja nao. Lakini ikiwa hawaipokei, basi amani yenu itawarudia ninyi.
If the family be worthy, the peace you wish them shall come upon them: if they be not worthy, it shall rebound upon yourselves.
14 Kama mtu yeyote atakataa kuwakaribisheni au kuwasikilizeni, basi mtokapo katika nyumba hiyo au mji huo, yakung'uteni mavumbi miguuni mwenu kama onyo kwao.
Wheresoever they will not receive you, nor regard your words, in departing that house or city, shake the dust off your feet.
15 Kweli nawaambieni, Siku ya hukumu mji huo utapata adhabu kubwa kuliko ile iliyoipata miji ya Sodoma na Gomora.
Indeed, I say to you, the condition of Sodom and Gomorrah shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment, than the condition of that city.
16 “Sasa, mimi nawatuma ninyi kama kondoo kati ya mbwa mwitu. Muwe na busara kama nyoka, na wapole kama njiwa.
Behold! I send you forth as sheep amidst wolves. Be therefore prudent as the serpents, and harmless as the doves.
17 Jihadharini na watu, maana watawapeleka ninyi mahakamani na kuwapiga viboko katika masunagogi yao.
But be upon your guard against these men; for they will deliver you to councils, and scourge you in their synagogues;
18 Mtapelekwa mbele ya watawala na wafalme kwa sababu yangu, mpate kutangaza Habari Njema kwao na kwa mataifa.
and you shall be brought before governors and kings, on my account, to bear testimony to them, and to the Gentiles.
19 Basi, watakapowapeleka ninyi mahakamani, msiwe na wasiwasi mtasema nini au namna gani; wakati utakapofika, mtapewa la kusema.
But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how, or what you shall speak; for what you shall speak shall be suggested to you in that moment.
20 Maana si ninyi mtakaosema, bali ni Roho wa Baba yenu asemaye ndani yenu.
For it shall not be you that shall speak; but the Spirit of my Father, who will speak by you.
21 “Ndugu atamsaliti ndugu yake auawe, na baba atamsaliti mwanawe, nao watoto watawashambulia wazazi wao na kuwaua.
Then the brother will deliver up the brother to death; and the father the child; and children will arise against their parents, and procure their death.
22 Watu wote watawachukieni kwa sababu ya jina langu. Lakini atakayevumilia mpaka mwisho, ataokolewa.
And for my name you shall be hated universally. But the man who perseveres to the end, shall be saved.
23 “Watu wakiwadhulumu katika mji mmoja, kimbilieni mji mwingine. Kweli nawaambieni, hamtamaliza ziara yenu katika miji yote ya Israeli kabla Mwana wa Mtu hajafika.
Therefore, when they persecute you in one city, flee to another; for indeed, I say to you, you shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of Man be come.
24 “Mwanafunzi si mkuu kuliko mwalimu wake, wala mtumishi si mkuu kuliko bwana wake.
A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
25 Yatosha mwanafunzi kuwa kama mwalimu wake, na mtumishi kuwa kama bwana wake. Ikiwa wamemwita mkubwa wa jamaa Beelzebuli, je hawatawaita watu wengine wa jamaa hiyo majina mabaya zaidi?
It is enough for the disciple to be as his teacher, and for the servant to be as his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more his domestics?
26 “Basi, msiwaogope watu hao. Kila kilichofunikwa kitafunuliwa, na kila kilichofichwa kitafichuliwa.
Therefore, fear them not; for there is nothing hid that shall not be detected; nothing secret that shall not be known.
27 Ninalowaambieni ninyi katika giza, lisemeni katika mwanga; na jambo mlilosikia likinong'onezwa, litangazeni hadharani.
What I tell you in the dark, publish in the light; and what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the house tops.
28 Msiwaogope wale wauao mwili, lakini hawawezi kuiua roho. Afadhali zaidi kumwogopa yule awezaye kuuangamiza mwili pamoja na roho katika moto wa Jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
And fear not them you kill the body, but can not kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 Shomoro wawili huuzwa kwa senti tano. Lakini hata mmoja wao haanguki chini bila kibali cha Baba yenu.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet neither of them falls to the ground without your Father.
30 Lakini kwa upande wenu, hata nywele za vichwa vyenu zimehesabiwa zote.
Nay, the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Kwa hiyo msiogope; ninyi mu wa thamani kuliko shomoro wengi.
Fear not, then; you are much more valuable than sparrows.
32 “Kila mtu anayekiri hadharani kwamba yeye ni wangu, mimi pia nitamkiri mbele ya Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.
Whoever, therefore, shall acknowledge me before men, him will I also acknowledge before my Father, who is in heaven.
33 Lakini yeyote atakayenikana hadharani, nami nitamkana mbele ya Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.
But whoever shall disown me before men, him will I also disown before my Father, who is in heaven.
34 “Msidhani kwamba nimekuja kuleta amani duniani. Sikuja kuleta amani bali upanga.
Think not that I am come to bring peace to the earth. I came not to bring peace, but a sword.
35 Maana nimekuja kuleta mafarakano kati ya mtu na baba yake, kati ya binti na mama yake, kati ya mkwe na mkwe wake.
For I am come to cause dissension between father and son, between mother and daughter, between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law;
36 Na maadui wa mtu ni watu wa nyumbani mwake.
so that a man's enemies will be found in his own family.
37 “Ampendaye baba au mama yake kuliko anipendavyo mimi, hanistahili. Ampendaye mwana au binti kuliko mimi, hanistahili.
He who loves father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me. He who loves son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.
38 Mtu asiyechukua msalaba wake na kunifuata, hanistahili.
He who will not take his cross and follow me, is not worthy of me.
39 Anayeyashikilia maisha yake, atayapoteza; lakini anayeyapoteza maisha yake kwa ajili yangu, atayapata.
He who preserves his life, shall lose it: but he who loses his life, on my account, shall preserve it.
40 “Anayewakaribisha ninyi, ananikaribisha mimi; na anayenikaribisha mimi, anamkaribisha yule aliyenituma.
He that receives you, receives me; and he that receives me, receives him who sent me, receives him who sent me.
41 Anayemkaribisha nabii kwa sababu ni nabii, atapokea tuzo la nabii. Anayemkaribisha mtu mwema kwa sababu ni mtu mwema, atapokea tuzo la mtu mwema.
He that receives a prophet, because he is a prophet, shall obtain a prophet's reward; and he that receives a righteous man, because he is a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward:
42 Kweli nawaambieni, yeyote atakayempa mmojawapo wa wadogo hawa kikombe cha maji baridi kwa sababu ni mfuasi wangu, hatakosa kamwe kupata tuzo lake.”
and whosoever shall give one of these little ones, because he is my disciple, a single cup of cold water to drink; indeed, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
