Luke 7
1 NOW when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
Baada ya Yesu kumaliza kila kitu alichokuwa anasema kwa watu waliomsikiliza, akaingia Kapernaumu.
2 And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
Mtumwa fulani wa akida, aliyekuwa wa thamani sana kwake, alikuwa mgonjwa sana na alikuwa karibu ya kufa.
3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
Lakini akiwa amesikia kuhusu Yesu, yule Akida alimtuma kiongozi wa kiyahudi, kumwomba aje kumwokoa mtumwa wake ili asife.
4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
Walipofika karibu na Yesu, walimsihi kwa bidii na kusema, “anastahili kwamba unapaswa kufanya hivi kwa ajili yake,
5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
kwa sababu analipenda taifa letu, na ndiye aliyejenga sinagogi kwa ajili yetu”.
6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
Yesu akaendelea na safari yake pamoja nao. lakini kabla hajaenda mbali na nyumba, afisa mmoja aliwatuma marafiki zake kuzungumza naye. “Bwana, usijichoshe mwenyewe kwa sababu mimi sistahili wewe kuingia kwenye dari yangu.
7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
Kwa sababu hii sikufikiria hata mimi mwenyewe kuwa ninafaa kuja kwako, lakini sema neno tu na mtumishi wangu atapona.
8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
Kwani mimi pia ni mtu niliyewekwa kwenye mamlaka na nina askari chini yangu. Husema kwa huyu “Nenda” na huenda, na kwa mwingine, “Njoo” naye huja, na kwa mtumishi wangu 'Fanya hiki', na yeye hufanya”.
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
Yesu aliposikia haya alishangaa, na kuwageukia makutano waliokuwa wanamfuata na kusema.”Nawaambia, hata katika Israeli, sijawahi kuona mtu mwenye imani kuu kama huyu.
10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
Kisha wale waliokuwa wametumwa walirudi nyumbani na kumkuta mtumishi akiwa mzima.
11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
fulani baada ya haya, ilitokea kuwa Yesu alikuwa anasafiri kwenda mji ulioitwa Naini. wanafunzi wake wakaenda pamoja naye wakiambana na umati wa watu.
12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
Alipofika karibu na Lango la jiji tazama, mtu aliyekufa alikuwa amebebwa, na ni mtoto wa pekee kwa mama yake. aliyekuwa mjane, na umati wa wawakilishi kutoka kwenye jiji walikuwa pamoja naye.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
Alipomwona, Bwana akamsogelea kwa huruma kubwa sana juu yake na akamwambia, “Usilie”.
14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
Kisha akasogea mbele akaligusa jeneza ambalo walibebea mwili, na wale waliobeba wakasimama akasema “Kijana nasema amka”
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
Mfu akainuka na kukaa chini na akaanza kuongea. Kisha Yesu akamkabidhi kwa mama yake.
16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
Kisha hofu ikawajaa wote. wakaendelea kumtukuza Mungu wakisema “Nabii mkuu ameinuliwa miongoni mwetu” na “Mungu amewaangalia watu wake”
17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judæa, and throughout all the region round about.
Hizi habari njema za Yesu zilienea Yudea yote na kwa mikoa yote ya jirani.
18 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
Wanafunzi wa Yohana walimwamwambia mambo haya yote.
19 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
Ndipo Yohana akawaita wawili wa wanafunzi wake na kuwatuma kwa Bwana kusema “Wewe ndiye yule ajaye, au kuna mtu mwingine tumtazamie?
20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
Walipofika karibu na Yesu hawa wakasema, “Yohana mbatizaji ametutuma kwako kusema, 'Wewe ni yule ajaye au kuna mtu mwingine tumtazamie?”
21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.
kwa wakati huo aliowaponya watu wengi kutoka katika magonjwa na mateso, kutoka kwa roho wachafu, na kwa watu wenye upofu aliwapa kuona.
22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
Yesu akajibu na kusema kwao. “Baada ya kuwa mmekwenda mlikotoka mtamjulisha Yohana mlichokiona na kukisikia. Wenye upofu wanapokea kuona na viwete wanatembea, wenye ukoma wanatakasika, viziwi wanasikia, wafu wanafufuliwa na kuwa hai tena, masikini wanaambiwa habari njema.
23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
Na mtu ambaye hataacha kuniamini mimi kwa sababu ya matendo yangu amebarikiwa”.
24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
Baada ya wale waliotumwa na Yohana kurudi walikotoka, Yesu akaanza kusema kwa makutano juu ya Yohana, “Mlikwenda nje kuona nini, mwanzi ukiwa unatikiswa na upepo?
25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.
lakini mlikwenda nje kuona nini, mtu aliyevaa vizuri? tazama watu wale wanaovaa mavazi ya kifalme na kuishi maisha ya starehe wako kwenye nafasi za wafalme.
26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
lakini mnakwenda nje kuona nini, Nabii? Ndiyo, ninasema kwenu na zaidi sana kuliko nabii.
27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
Huyu ndiye aliyeandikiwa, “Tazama, namtuma mjumbe wangu mbele ya macho yenu, atakeyeandaa njia kwa ajili yangu,
28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
Nasema kwenu, kati ya wale waliozaliwa na mwanamke, hakuna mkuu kama Yohana, lakini mtu asiye muhimu sana atakayeishi na Mungu mahali alipo yeye, atakuwa mkuu kuliko Yohana.”
29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
Na watu wote waliposikia haya pamoja na watoza ushuru, walitangaza kuwa Mungu ni mwenye Haki. Walikuwepo kati yao wale waliobatizwa kwa ubatizo wa Yohana.
30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
Lakini mafarisayo na wataalamu wa sheria za kiyahudi, ambao hawakubatizwa na yeye walikataa hekima za Mungu kwa ajili yao wenyewe.
31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
Tena naweza kuwalinganisha na nini watu wa kizazi hiki? Wakoje hasai?
32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
Wanafanana na watoto wanaocheza kwenye eneo la soko, wanaokaa na kuitana mmoja baada wa mwingine wakisema, 'Tumepuliza filimbi kwa ajili yenu, na hamkucheza. tumeomboleza na hamkulia.'
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
Yohana mbatizaji alikuja hakula mkate wala hakunywa divai, na mkasema “Ana pepo.
34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
Mwana wa Mtu amekuja amekula na kunywa na mkasema, “Angali ni mlafi na mlevi, rafiki wa watoza ushuru na wenye dhambi!
35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.
Lakini hekima imetambulika kuwa ina haki kwa watoto wake wote.”
36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.
Mmoja wa mafarisayo alimwomba Yesu aende kula pamoja naye. Baada ya Yesu kuingia kwenye nyumba ya farisayo, aliegemea kwenye meza ili ale.
37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
Tazama kulikuwa na mwanamke mmoja katika jiji hilo aliyekuwa na dhambi. Akagundua kuwa alikuwa amekaa kwa Farisayo, akaleta chupa ya manukato.
38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
Alisimama nyuma yake karibu na miguu yake huku akilia. Tena alianza kulowanisha miguu yake kwa machozi, na kuifuta kwa nywele za kichwa chake, akiibusu miguu yake na kuipaka manukato.
39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
Na yule farisayo aliyekuwa amemwalika Yesu alipoona hivyo, akawaza mwenyewe akisema, “Kama huyu mtu angekuwa nabii, angejua huyu ni nani na ni aina gani ya mwanamke anayemgusa, ya kuwa ni mwenye dhambi.
40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
Yesu akajibu na kumwambia, “Simoni nina kitu cha kukuambia. “Akasema” “Kiseme tu mwalimu!”
41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
Yesu akasema “Kulikuwa na wadaiwa wawili kwa mkopeshaji mmoja. Mmoja alikuwa anadaiwa dinari mia tano na wa pili alidaiwa dinari hamsini.
42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
Na walipokuwa hawana pesa ya kumlipa aliwasamehe wote. Sasa ni nani atampenda zaidi?
43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
Simoni akamjibu na kusema, “Nadhani aliyesamehewa zaidi.”Yesu akamwambia, “Umehukumu kwa usahihi.”
44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
Yesu akamgeukia mwanamke na kusema kwa Simoni, “Unamwona huyu mwanamke. Nimeingia kwenye Nyumba yako. Hukunipa maji kwa ajili ya miguu yangu, lakini huyu, kwa machozi yake, alilowanisha miguu yangu na kuifuta kwa nywele zake.
45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
Hukunibusu, lakini yeye, tangu alipoingia humu hakuacha kunibusu miguu yangu.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
Hukuipaka miguu yangu kwa mafuta, lakini ameipaka miguu yangu kwa manukato.
47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
Kwa jambo hili, nakwambia kwamba alikuwa na dhambi nyingi na amesamehewa zaidi, na pia alipenda zaidi. Lakini aliyesamehewa kidogo, hupenda kidogo tu.”
48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
Baadaye akamwambia mwanamke, “Dhambi zako zimesamehewa”
49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
Wale waliokaa mezani pamoja naye wakaanza kusemezana wao kwa wao, “Huyu ni nani mpaka anasamehe dhambi?”
50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
Na Yesu akamwambia mwanamke, “Imani yako imekuokoa. Enenda kwa amani”
