Κατα Ματθαιον 18
1 Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ προσῆλθον οἱ μαθηταὶ τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ λέγοντες, “Τίς ἄρα μείζων ἐστὶν ἐν τῇ Βασιλείᾳ τῶν Οὐρανῶν;”
Wakati ule wanafunzi walimwendea Yesu, wakamwuliza, “Ni nani aliye mkuu katika Ufalme wa mbinguni?”
2 Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος παιδίον, ἔστησεν αὐτὸ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν
Yesu akamwita mtoto mmoja, akamsimamisha kati yao,
3 καὶ εἶπεν, “Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐὰν μὴ στραφῆτε καὶ γένησθε ὡς τὰ παιδία, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν Βασιλείαν τῶν Οὐρανῶν.
kisha akasema, “Nawaambieni kweli, msipogeuka na kuwa kama watoto, hamtaingia kamwe katika Ufalme wa mbinguni.
4 Ὅστις οὖν ταπεινώσει ἑαυτὸν ὡς τὸ παιδίον τοῦτο, οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ μείζων ἐν τῇ Βασιλείᾳ τῶν Οὐρανῶν.
Yeyote anayejinyenyekesha kama mtoto huyu, huyo ndiye aliye mkubwa katika Ufalme wa mbinguni.
5 Καὶ ὃς ἐὰν δέξηται ἓν παιδίον τοιοῦτο ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ἐμὲ δέχεται.
Yeyote anayemkaribisha mtoto mmoja kama huyu kwa jina langu, ananikaribisha mimi.
6 Ὃς δʼ ἂν σκανδαλίσῃ ἕνα τῶν μικρῶν τούτων τῶν πιστευόντων εἰς ἐμέ, συμφέρει αὐτῷ ἵνα κρεμασθῇ μύλος ὀνικὸς περὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ, καὶ καταποντισθῇ ἐν τῷ πελάγει τῆς θαλάσσης.
“Yeyote atakayemkosesha mmoja wa hawa wadogo wanaoniamini, ingekuwa afadhali afungwe shingoni jiwe kubwa la kusagia na kuzamishwa kwenye kilindi cha bahari.
7 Οὐαὶ τῷ κόσμῳ ἀπὸ τῶν σκανδάλων! Ἀνάγκη γὰρ ἐστιν ἐλθεῖν τὰ σκάνδαλα, πλὴν οὐαὶ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ἐκείνῳ διʼ οὗ τὸ σκάνδαλον ἔρχεται!
Ole wake ulimwengu kwa sababu ya vikwazo vinavyowaangusha wengine. Vikwazo hivyo ni lazima vitokee lakini ole wake mtu yule atakayevisababisha.
8 Εἰ δὲ ἡ χείρ σου ἢ ὁ πούς σου σκανδαλίζει σε, ἔκκοψον αὐτὸν καὶ βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ· καλόν σοί ἐστιν εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν ζωὴν κυλλὸν ἢ χωλόν, ἢ δύο χεῖρας ἢ δύο πόδας ἔχοντα, βληθῆναι εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ αἰώνιον. (aiōnios g166)
“Kama mkono au mguu wako ukikukosesha, ukate na kuutupa mbali nawe. Ni afadhali kwako kuingia katika uzima bila mkono au mguu, kuliko kutupwa katika moto wa milele ukiwa na mikono miwili na miguu yako miwili. (aiōnios g166)
9 Καὶ εἰ ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου σκανδαλίζει σε, ἔξελε αὐτὸν καὶ βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ· καλόν σοί ἐστιν μονόφθαλμον εἰς τὴν ζωὴν εἰσελθεῖν, ἢ δύο ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντα βληθῆναι εἰς τὴν Γέενναν τοῦ πυρός. (Geenna g1067)
Na kama jicho lako likikukosesha, ling'oe na kulitupa mbali nawe. Ni afadhali kwako kuingia katika uzima ukiwa chongo, kuliko kutupwa katika moto wa Jehanamu ukiwa na macho yako yote mawili. (Geenna g1067)
10 Ὁρᾶτε μὴ καταφρονήσητε ἑνὸς τῶν μικρῶν τούτων, λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι οἱ ἄγγελοι αὐτῶν ἐν οὐρανοῖς, διὰ παντὸς βλέπουσι τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ Πατρός μου, τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς.
“Jihadharini! Msimdharau mmojawapo wa wadogo hawa. Nawaambieni, malaika wao huko mbinguni wako daima mbele ya Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.
Maana Mwana wa Mtu alikuja kuwaokoa wale waliopotea.
12 Τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ; Ἐὰν γένηταί τινι ἀνθρώπῳ ἑκατὸν πρόβατα, καὶ πλανηθῇ ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν, οὐχὶ ἀφεὶς τὰ ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη, καὶ πορευθεὶς ζητεῖ τὸ πλανώμενον;
Mnaonaje? Mtu akiwa na kondoo mia, akimpoteza mmoja, hufanyaje? Huwaacha wale tisini na tisa mlimani, na huenda kumtafuta yule aliyepotea.
13 Καὶ ἐὰν γένηται εὑρεῖν αὐτό, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι χαίρει ἐπʼ αὐτῷ μᾶλλον ἢ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα τοῖς μὴ πεπλανημένοις.
Akimpata, nawaambieni kweli, humfurahia huyo kuliko awafurahiavyo wale tisini na tisa ambao hawakupotea.
14 Οὕτως οὐκ ἔστιν θέλημα ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ Πατρὸς ὑμῶν, τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς, ἵνα ἀπόληται ἓν τῶν μικρῶν τούτων.
Hali kadhalika, Baba yenu wa mbinguni hapendi hata mmoja wa hawa wadogo apotee.
15 Ἐὰν δὲ ἁμαρτήσῃ ὁ ἀδελφός σου, ὕπαγε ἔλεγξον αὐτὸν μεταξὺ σοῦ καὶ αὐτοῦ μόνου. Ἐάν σου ἀκούσῃ, ἐκέρδησας τὸν ἀδελφόν σου.
“Ndugu yako akikukosea, mwendee ukamwonye mkiwa ninyi peke yenu. Akikusikia utakuwa umempata ndugu yako.
16 Ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ἀκούσῃ, παράλαβε μετὰ σοῦ ἔτι, ἕνα ἢ δύο, ἵνα ‘ἐπὶ στόματος δύο μαρτύρων ἢ τριῶν, σταθῇ πᾶν ῥῆμα’.
Asipokusikia, chukua mtu mmoja au wawili pamoja nawe, ili kwa mawaidha ya mashahidi wawili au watatu, kila tatizo litatuliwe.
17 Ἐὰν δὲ παρακούσῃ αὐτῶν, εἰπὲ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ. Ἐὰν δὲ καὶ τῆς ἐκκλησίας παρακούσῃ, ἔστω σοι ὥσπερ ὁ ἐθνικὸς καὶ ὁ τελώνης.
Asipowasikia hao, liambie kanisa. Na kama hatalisikia kanisa, na awe kwako kama watu wasiomjua Mungu na watoza ushuru.
18 Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, ὅσα ἂν δήσητε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἔσται δεδεμένα ἐν οὐρανῷ, καὶ ὅσα ἐὰν λύσητε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἔσται λελυμένα ἐν οὐρανῷ.
“Nawaambieni kweli, mtakachofunga duniani kitafungwa mbinguni, na mtakachofungua duniani kitafunguliwa mbinguni.
19 Πάλιν ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐὰν δύο συμφωνήσωσιν ἐξ ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς περὶ παντὸς πράγματος, οὗ ἐὰν αἰτήσωνται, γενήσεται αὐτοῖς παρὰ τοῦ Πατρός μου, τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς.
Tena nawaambieni, wawili miongoni mwenu wakikubaliana hapa duniani kuhusu jambo lolote la kuomba, Baba yangu wa mbinguni atawafanyia jambo hilo.
20 Οὗ γάρ εἰσιν δύο ἢ τρεῖς συνηγμένοι εἰς τὸ ἐμὸν ὄνομα, ἐκεῖ εἰμι ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν.”
Kwa maana popote pale wanapokusanyika wawili au watatu kwa jina langu, mimi nipo hapo kati yao.”
21 Τότε προσελθὼν, ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “˚Κύριε, ποσάκις ἁμαρτήσει εἰς ἐμὲ ὁ ἀδελφός μου, καὶ ἀφήσω αὐτῷ; Ἕως ἑπτάκις;”
Kisha Petro akamwendea Yesu, akamwuliza, “Je, ndugu yangu akinikosea, nimsamehe mara ngapi? Mara saba?”
22 Λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Οὐ λέγω σοι ἕως ἑπτάκις, ἀλλὰ ἕως ἑβδομηκοντάκις ἑπτά!
Yesu akamjibu, “Sisemi mara saba tu, bali sabini mara saba.
23 Διὰ τοῦτο ὡμοιώθη ἡ Βασιλεία τῶν Οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ βασιλεῖ, ὃς ἠθέλησεν συνᾶραι λόγον μετὰ τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ.
Ndiyo maana Ufalme wa mbinguni umefanana na mfalme mmoja aliyeamua kukagua hesabu za watumishi wake.
24 Ἀρξαμένου δὲ αὐτοῦ συναίρειν, προσήχθη εἷς αὐτῷ ὀφειλέτης μυρίων ταλάντων.
Ukaguzi ulipoanza, akaletewa mtu mmoja aliyekuwa na deni la fedha talanta elfu kumi.
25 Μὴ ἔχοντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἀποδοῦναι, ἐκέλευσεν αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος πραθῆναι, καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα, καὶ τὰ τέκνα, καὶ πάντα ὅσα εἶχεν, καὶ ἀποδοθῆναι.
Mtu huyo hakuwa na chochote cha kulipa; hivyo bwana wake aliamuru wauzwe, yeye, mke wake, watoto wake na vitu vyote alivyokuwa navyo, ili deni lilipwe.
26 Πεσὼν οὖν ὁ δοῦλος προσεκύνει αὐτῷ λέγων, ‘Κύριε, μακροθύμησον ἐπʼ ἐμοί, καὶ πάντα ἀποδώσω σοι.’
Basi, huyo mtumishi akapiga magoti mbele yake, akasema, Unisubiri nami nitakulipa deni lote.
27 Σπλαγχνισθεὶς δὲ, ὁ κύριος τοῦ δούλου ἐκείνου ἀπέλυσεν αὐτόν, καὶ τὸ δάνειον ἀφῆκεν αὐτῷ.
Yule bwana alimwonea huruma, akamsamehe lile deni, akamwacha aende zake.
28 Ἐξελθὼν δὲ, ὁ δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος εὗρεν ἕνα τῶν συνδούλων αὐτοῦ, ὃς ὤφειλεν αὐτῷ ἑκατὸν δηνάρια, καὶ κρατήσας αὐτὸν ἔπνιγεν λέγων, ‘Ἀπόδος εἴ τι ὀφείλεις.’
“Lakini huyo mtumishi akaondoka, akamkuta mmoja wa watumishi wenzake aliyekuwa na deni lake fedha denari mia moja. Akamkamata, akamkaba koo akisema, Lipa deni lako!
29 Πεσὼν οὖν, ὁ σύνδουλος αὐτοῦ παρεκάλει αὐτὸν λέγων, ‘Μακροθύμησον ἐπʼ ἐμοί, καὶ ἀποδώσω σοι.’
Huyo mtumishi mwenzake akapiga magoti, akamwomba, Unisubiri nami nitalipa deni langu lote.
30 Ὁ δὲ οὐκ ἤθελεν, ἀλλὰ ἀπελθὼν, ἔβαλεν αὐτὸν εἰς φυλακὴν, ἕως ἀποδῷ τὸ ὀφειλόμενον.
Lakini yeye hakutaka, bali alimtia gerezani mpaka hapo atakapolipa lile deni.
31 Ἰδόντες οὖν οἱ σύνδουλοι αὐτοῦ τὰ γενόμενα, ἐλυπήθησαν σφόδρα, καὶ ἐλθόντες διεσάφησαν τῷ κυρίῳ ἑαυτῶν πάντα τὰ γενόμενα.
“Basi, watumishi wenzake walipoona jambo hilo walisikitika sana, wakaenda kumpasha habari bwana wao juu ya mambo hayo yaliyotukia.
32 Τότε προσκαλεσάμενος αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ λέγει αὐτῷ, ‘Δοῦλε πονηρέ, πᾶσαν τὴν ὀφειλὴν ἐκείνην ἀφῆκά σοι, ἐπεὶ παρεκάλεσάς με.
Hapo yule bwana alimwita huyo mtumishi, akamwambia, Wewe ni mtumishi mbaya sana! Uliniomba, nami nikakusamehe deni lako lote.
33 Οὐκ ἔδει καὶ σὲ ἐλεῆσαι τὸν σύνδουλόν σου, ὡς κἀγὼ σὲ ἠλέησα;’
Je, haikukupasa nawe kumhurumia mtumishi mwenzako kama nilivyokuhurumia?
34 Καὶ ὀργισθεὶς, ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ παρέδωκεν αὐτὸν τοῖς βασανισταῖς, ἕως οὗ ἀποδῷ πᾶν τὸ ὀφειλόμενον αὑτῷ.
“Basi, huyo bwana alikasirika sana, akamtoa huyo mtumishi aadhibiwe mpaka hapo atakapolipa deni lote.
35 Οὕτως καὶ ὁ Πατήρ μου ὁ οὐράνιος ποιήσει ὑμῖν, ἐὰν μὴ ἀφῆτε ἕκαστος τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν καρδιῶν ὑμῶν.”
Na baba yangu aliye mbinguni atawafanyieni vivyo hivyo kama kila mmoja wenu hatamsamehe ndugu yake kwa moyo wake wote.”
