Luke 11
1 And it fortuned as he was prayinge in a certayne place: when he ceased one of his disciples sayde vnto him: Master teache vs to praye as Iohn taught his disciples.
Siku moja, Yesu alikuwa mahali fulani akisali. Alipomaliza kusali, mmoja wa wanafunzi wake akamwambia, “Bwana, tunakuomba utufundishe kusali kama Yohane mbatizaji alivyowafundisha wanafunzi wake.”
2 And he sayd vnto the: When ye praye saye: O oure father which arte in heave halowed be thy name. Thy kyngdome come. Thy will be fulfilled even in erth as it is in heaven.
Yesu akawaambia, “Mnaposali, semeni: Baba! Jina lako litukuzwe; Ufalme wako ufike.
3 Oure dayly breed geve vs evermore.
Utupe daima chakula chetu cha kila siku.
4 And forgeve vs oure synnes: For eve we forgeve every man yt treaspaseth vs. And ledde vs not into teptacio. But deliver vs fro evill.
Utusamehe dhambi zetu, maana sisi tunawasamehe wote waliotukosea; wala usitutie katika majaribu.”
5 And he sayde vnto them: if any of you shuld have a frede and shuld goo to him at mid nyght and saye vnto him: frende lende me thre loves
Kisha akawaambia, “Tuseme mmoja wenu anaye rafiki, akaenda kwake usiku wa manane, akamwambia: Rafiki, tafadhali niazime mikate mitatu,
6 for a frende of myne is come out of the waye to me and I have nothinge to set before him:
kwa kuwa rafiki yangu amepitia kwangu akiwa safarini nami sina cha kumpa.
7 and he within shuld answere and saye trouble me not the dore is now sheet and my servautes are with me in the chamber I canot ryse and geve them to the.
Naye, akiwa ndani angemjibu: Usinisumbue! Nimekwisha funga mlango. Mimi na watoto wangu tumelala; siwezi kuamka nikupe!
8 I saye vnto you though he wold not aryse and geve him because he is his frede: yet because of his importunite he wold rise and geve him as many as he neded.
Hakika, ingawa hataamka ampe kwa sababu yeye ni rafiki yake, lakini, kwa sababu ya huyo mtu kuendelea kumwomba, ataamka ampe chochote anachohitaji.
9 And I saye vnto you: axe and it shalbe geven you. Seke and ye shall fynde. knocke and it shalbe opened vnto you.
Kwa hiyo, ombeni, nanyi mtapewa, tafuteni, nanyi mtapata, bisheni nanyi mtafunguliwa.
10 For every one that axeth receaveth: and he that seketh fyndeth: and to him that knocketh shall it be openned.
Maana yeyote aombaye hupewa, atafutaye hupata na abishaye hufunguliwa.
11 Yf the sonne shall axe breed of eny of you that is a father: wyll he geve him a stone? Or yf he axe fisshe wyll he for a fysshe geve him a serpent?
Mtoto akimwomba baba yake samaki, je, atampa nyoka badala ya samaki?
12 Or yf he axe an egge: wyll he offer him a scorpion?
Na kama akimwomba yai, je, atampa ng'e?
13 Yf ye then which are evyll canne geve good giftes vnto youre chyldren how moche more shall the father of heaven geve an holy sprete to them that desyre it of him?
Ninyi, ingawa ni waovu, mnajua kuwapa watoto wenu vitu vizuri. Basi, baba yenu wa mbinguni atafanya zaidi; atawapa Roho Mtakatifu wale wanaomwomba.”
14 And he was a castynge out a devyll which was dome. And it folowed when the devyll was gone out the domme spake and the people wondred.
Siku moja Yesu alikuwa anamfukuza pepo aliyemfanya mtu mmoja kuwa bubu. Basi, huyo pepo alipomtoka, yule mtu akaweza kuongea hata umati wa watu ukashangaa.
15 But some of the sayde: he casteth out devyls by the power of Belzebub the chefe of the devyls.
Lakini baadhi ya watu hao wakasema, “Anamfukuza pepo kwa uwezo wa Beelzebuli, mkuu wa pepo.”
16 And other tempted him sekinge of him a signe fro heave.
Wengine, wakimjaribu, wakamtaka afanye ishara kuonyesha kama alikuwa na idhini kutoka mbinguni.
17 But he knewe their thoughtes and sayde vnto them: Every kingdome devided with in it silfe shalbe desolate: and one housse shall fall vpon another.
Lakini yeye, akiwa anayajua mawazo yao, akawaambia, “Ufalme wowote uliofarakana wenyewe, hauwezi kudumu; kadhalika, jamaa yeyote inayofarakana huangamia.
18 So if Satan be devided with in him silfe: how shall his kyngdome endure? Because ye saye that I cast out devyls by the power of Belzebub.
Kama Shetani anajipinga mwenyewe, utawala wake utasimamaje? Mnasemaje, basi, kwamba ninawafukuza pepo kwa uwezo wa Beelzebuli?
19 Yf I by the power of Belzebub caste oute devyls: by whome do youre chyldren cast them out? Therfore shall they be youre iudges.
Kama ninafukuza pepo kwa uwezo wa Beelzebuli, watoto wenu huwafukuza kwa uwezo wa nani? Kwa sababu hiyo, wao ndio watakaowahukumu ninyi.
20 But if I with ye finger of God cast out devyls noo doute the kyngdome of God is come vpon you.
Lakini ikiwa ninawafukuza pepo kwa uwezo wa Mungu, basi jueni kwamba Ufalme wa Mungu umekwisha fika kwenu.
21 When a stronge man armed watcheth his housse: yt he possesseth is in peace.
“Mtu mwenye nguvu anapolinda jumba lake kwa silaha, mali yake yote iko salama.
22 But when a stronger then he cometh vpo him and overcometh him: he taketh from him his harnes wherin he trusted and devideth his gooddes.
Lakini akija mwenye nguvu zaidi akamshambulia na kumshinda, huyo huziteka silaha zake alizotegemea na kugawanya nyara.
23 He that is not with me is agaynst me. And he that gadereth not with me scattereth.
Yeyote asiyejiunga nami, ananipinga; na yeyote asiyekusanya pamoja nami, hutawanya.
24 When the vnclene sprete is gone out of a man he walketh through waterlesse places sekinge reest. And when he fyndeth none he sayeth: I will returne agayne vnto my housse whence I came out.
“Pepo mchafu akifukuzwa kwa mtu fulani, huzururazurura jangwani akitafuta mahali pa kupumzikia. Asipopata, hujisemea: Nitarudi kwenye makao yangu nilikotoka.
25 And when he cometh he fyndeth it swept and garnissed.
Anaporudi, huikuta ile nyumba imefagiwa na kupambwa.
26 Then goeth he and taketh to him seve other spretes worsse then himsilfe: and they enter in and dwell there. And the ende of that man is worsse then the begynninge.
Basi, huenda na kuwachukua pepo wengine saba waovu zaidi kuliko yeye; wote huenda na kumwingia mtu yule. Hivyo, basi hali ya mtu huyo sasa huwa mbaya zaidi kuliko pale mwanzo.”
27 And it fortuned as he spake those thinges a certayne woman of the copany lyfte vp her voyce and sayde vnto him: Happy is the wombe that bare the and the pappes which gave the sucke.
Alipokuwa akisema hayo, mwanamke mmoja katika lile kundi la watu, akasema kwa sauti kubwa: “Heri tumbo lililokuzaa, na maziwa yaliyokunyonyesha!”
28 But he sayde: Ye happy are they that heare the worde of God and kepe it.
Lakini Yesu akasema, “Lakini heri zaidi wale wanaolisikia neno la Mungu na kulishika.”
29 When the people were gadered thicke to geder: he began to saye. This is an evyll nacion: they seke a signe and ther shall no signe be geven them but the signe of Ionas the Prophet.
Umati wa watu ulipozidi kuongezeka, Yesu akawaambia, “Kizazi hiki ni kizazi kiovu. Kinataka ishara, lakini hakitapewa ishara yoyote isipokuwa ile ya Yona.
30 For as Ionas was a signe to the Ninivites so shall ye sonne of ma be to this nacio.
Jinsi Yona alivyokuwa ishara kwa watu wa Ninewi, ndivyo pia Mwana wa Mtu atakavyokuwa ishara kwa kizazi hiki.
31 The quene of the southe shall ryse at iudgement with the men of this generacio and condempne them: for she came fro the ende of the worlde to heare the wysdome of Salomon. And beholde a greater then Salomon is here.
Malkia wa kusini atatokea wakati kizazi hiki kitakapohukumiwa, naye atashuhudia kwamba kina hatia. Yeye alisafiri kutoka mbali, akaja kusikiliza maneno ya hekima ya Solomoni; kumbe hapa pana mkuu zaidi kuliko Solomoni.
32 The men of Ninive shall ryse at the iudgement wt this generacio and shall condepne the: for they repented at the preachinge of Ionas. And beholde a greater then Ionas is here.
Watu wa Ninewi watatokea wakati kizazi hiki kitakapohukumiwa, na watashuhudia kwamba kizazi hiki kina hatia. Hao watu wa Ninewi walitubu kwa sababu ya mahubiri ya Yona; na hapa pana mkuu zaidi kuliko Yona!
33 Noo man lighteth a candell and putteth it in a previe place nether vnder a busshell: But on a candelsticke that they that come in maye se ye light.
“Hakuna mtu anayewasha taa na kuifunika kwa pishi, bali huiweka juu ya kinara ili watu wanaoingia ndani wapate kuona mwanga.
34 The light of thy body is the eye. Therfore when thine eye is single: then is all thy body full of light. But if thine eye be evyll: then shall thy body also be full of darknes.
Jicho lako ni kama taa ya mwili wako; likiwa zima, mwili wako wote utakuwa katika mwanga. Jicho lako likiwa bovu, na mwili wako pia utakuwa katika giza.
35 Take hede therfore that the light which is in the be not darknes.
Uwe mwangalifu basi mwanga ulio ndani yako usije ukawa giza.
36 For if all thy body shalbe light havynge noo parte darke: then shall all be full of light even as when a candell doeth light the with his brightnes.
Basi, kama mwili wako wote una mwanga, bila kuwa na sehemu yoyote yenye giza, mwili huo utang'aa kikamilifu kama vile taa inavyokuangazia kwa mwanga wake.”
37 And as he spake a certayne Pharise besought him to dyne with him: and he went in and sate doune to meate.
Yesu alipokuwa akiongea, Mfarisayo mmoja alimkaribisha chakula nyumbani kwake, naye akaenda, akaketi kula chakula.
38 When the Pharise sawe that he marveylled yt he had not fyrst wesshed before dyner.
Huyo Mfarisayo alistaajabu kuona kwamba alikula chakula bila kunawa.
39 And ye Lorde sayde to him: Now do ye Pharises make clene the out side of the cup and of the platter: but youre inwarde parties are full of raveninge and wickednes.
Bwana akamwambia, “Ninyi Mafarisayo huosha kikombe na sahani kwa nje, lakini ndani mmejaa udhalimu na uovu.
40 Ye foles dyd not he that made that which is without: make that which is within also?
Wapumbavu ninyi! Je, aliyetengeneza nje si ndiye aliyetengeneza ndani pia?
41 Neverthelesse geve almose of that ye have and beholde all is clene to you.
Toeni kwa maskini vile vitu vilivyomo ndani, na vingine vyote vitakuwa halali kwenu.
42 But wo be to you Pharises for ye tithe the mynt and rewe and all manner erbes and passe over iudgment and the love of God. These ought ye to have done and yet not to have left the other vndone.
“Lakini ole wenu Mafarisayo, kwa sababu mnatoza watu zaka hata juu ya majani ya kukolezea chakula, mchicha na majani mengine, na huku hamjali juu ya haki na upendo kwa Mungu. Mambo haya iliwapasa muwe mmeyazingatia bila kuyasahau yale mengine.
43 Wo be to you Pharises: for ye love the vppermost seates in the synagoges and gretinges in the markets.
“Ole wenu ninyi Mafarisayo, kwa sababu mnapenda kuketi mbele mahali pa heshima katika masunagogi, na kusalimiwa kwa heshima hadharani.
44 Wo be to you scribes and pharises ypocrites for ye are as graves which appere not and the men yt walke over the are not ware of the.
Ole wenu, kwa sababu mko kama makaburi yaliyofichika; watu hutembea juu yake bila kufahamu.”
45 Then answered one of the lawears and sayd vnto him: Master thus sayinge thou puttest vs to rebuke also.
Mmoja wa walimu wa Sheria akamwambia, “Mwalimu, maneno yako yanatukashifu na sisi pia.”
46 Then he sayde: Wo be to you also ye lawears: for ye lade men with burthens greveous to be borne and ye youre selves touche not ye packes wt one of youre fyngers.
Yesu akamjibu, “Na ninyi walimu wa Sheria, ole wenu; maana mnawatwika watu mizigo isiyochukulika, huku ninyi wenyewe hamnyoshi hata kidole kuwasaidia.
47 Wo be to you: ye bylde the sepulchres of the Prophetes and youre fathers killed the:
Ole wenu, kwa kuwa mnajenga makaburi ya manabii wale ambao wazee wenu waliwaua.
48 truly ye beare witnes that ye alowe the dedes of youre fathers for they kylled them and ye bylde their sepulchres.
Kwa hiyo mnashuhudia na kukubaliana na matendo ya wazee wenu; maana wao waliwaua hao manabii, nanyi mnajenga makaburi yao.
49 Therfore sayde ye wisdome of God: I will send them Prophetes and Apostles and of them they shall slee and persecute:
Kwa hiyo, Hekima ya Mungu ilisema hivi: Nitawapelekea manabii na mitume, lakini watawaua baadhi yao, na kuwatesa wengine.
50 that the bloude of all Prophetes which was sheed fro the beginninge of the worlde maye be requyred of this generacion
Matokeo yake ni kwamba kizazi hiki kitaadhibiwa kwa sababu ya damu ya manabii wote iliyomwagika tangu mwanzo wa ulimwengu;
51 from the bloud of Abell vnto the bloud of zachary which perisshed bitwene the aulter and the temple. Verely I saye vnto you: it shalbe requyred of this nacion.
tangu kumwagwa damu ya Abeli mpaka kifo cha Zakariya ambaye walimuua kati ya madhabahu na mahali patakatifu. Naam, hakika kizazi hiki kitaadhibiwa kwa matendo haya.
52 Wo be to you lawears: for ye have taken awaye ye keye of knowledge ye entred not in youre selves and them that came in ye forbade.
“Ole wenu ninyi walimu wa Sheria, kwa sababu mmeuficha ule ufunguo wa mlango wa elimu; ninyi wenyewe hamkuingia na mmewazuia waliokuwa wanaingia wasiingie.”
53 When he thus spake vnto them the lawears and the Pharises began to wexe busye about him and to stop his mouth with many questions
Alipokuwa akitoka pale, wale Mafarisayo na walimu wa Sheria wakaanza kumshambulia vikali na kumsonga kwa maswali mengi
54 layinge wayte for him and sekinge to catche somethinge of his mought wherby they might accuse him.
ili wapate kumnasa kwa maneno yake.
