Luke 6
1 Now on the second Sabbath after the first, he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate, rubbing them in their hands.
Sasa ilitokea kwenye Sabato kwamba Yesu alikuwa akipita katika ya shamba la nafaka na wanafunzi wake walikuwa wakichuma masuke, wakayasuguasugua kati ya mikono yao wakala nafaka.
2 But some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?”
Lakini baadhi ya Mafarisayo wakasema, “Kwa nini mnafanya kitu ambacho si halali kisheria kukifanya siku ya sabato”?
3 Yeshua, answering them, said, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him,
Yesu, akawajibu, akisema, “Hamkuwahi kusoma kile Daudi alifanya alipokuwa na njaa, yeye na wanaume waliokuwa pamoja naye?
4 how he entered into God’s house, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?”
Alikwenda katika nyumba ya Mungu, na akachukuwa mikate mitakatifu na kuila baadhi, na kuitoa baadhi kwa watu aliokuwa nao kuila, hatakama ilikuwa halali kwa makuhani kuila.”
5 He said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
Kisha akawaambia, “Mwana wa Adamu ni Bwana wa Sabato.”
6 It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.
Ilitokea katika Sabato nyingine kwamba alikwenda ndani ya sinagogi na kuwafundisha watu huko. Palikuwa na mtu ambaye mkono wake wa kulia ulikuwa umepooza.
7 The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.
Waandishi na Mafarisayo walikuwa wanamwangalia kwa makini kuona kama angemponya mtu siku ya Sabato, ili waweze kupata sababu ya kumshtaki kwa kufanya kosa.
8 But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Rise up and stand in the middle.” He arose and stood.
Lakini alijua nini walikuwa wanafikiri na akasema kwa mtu aliyekuwa amepooza mkono, “Amka, simama hapa katikati ya kila mmoja.” Hivyo huyo mtu akanyanyuka na kusimama pale.
9 Then Yeshua said to them, “I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?”
Yesu akasema kwao, “Nawauliza ninyi, ni halali siku ya Sabato kufanya mema au kufanya madhara, kuokoa maisha au kuyaharibu?” Kisha aliwaangalia wote na kumwambia yule mtu,
10 He looked around at them all, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.
“Nyoosha mkono wako.” Akafanya hivyo, na mkono wake ulikuwa umeponywa.
11 But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Yeshua.
Lakini walijawa na hasira, wakaongeleshana wao kwa wao kuhusu nini wanapaswa wafanye kwa Yesu.
12 In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.
Ilitokea siku hizo kwamba alikwenda mlimani kuomba. Aliendelea usiku mzima kumuomba Mungu.
13 When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named emissaries:
Ilipokuwa asubuhi, aliwaita wanafunzi wake kwake, na akawachagua kumi na wawili kati yao, ambao pia aliwaita “mitume.”
14 Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; Jacob; Yochanan; Philip; Bartholomew;
Majina ya wale mitume yalikuwa Simoni (ambaye pia alimwita Petro) na Andrea ndugu yake, Yakobo, Yohana, Filipo, Bartolomayo,
15 Matthew; Thomas; Jacob the son of Halfai; Simon who was called the Zealot;
Mathayo, Tomaso na Yakobo mwana wa Alfayo, Simoni, ambaye aliitwa Zelote,
16 Judah the son of Jacob; and Judah Iscariot, who also became a traitor.
Yuda mwana Yakobo na Yuda Iskariote, ambaye alikuwa msaliti msaliti.
17 He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases,
Kisha Yesu alitelemka pamoja nao toka mlimani na kusimama mahali tambarare. Idadi kubwa ya wanafunzi wake walikuwa huko, pamoja na idadi kubwa ya watu kutoka Uyahudi na Yerusalemu, na kutoka pwani ya Tiro na Sidoni.
18 as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits; and they were being healed.
Walikuja kumsikiliza na kuponywa magonjwa yao. Watu waliokuwa wakisumbuliwa na pepo wachafu waliponywa pia.
19 All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out of him and healed them all.
Kila mmoja kwenye hilo kusanyiko alijaribu kumgusa kwa sababu nguvu za uponyaji zilikuwa zikitokea ndani yake, na aliwaponya wote.
20 He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for God’s Kingdom is yours.
Kisha akawaangalia wanafunzi wake, na kusema, “Mmebarikiwa ninyi mlio maskini, kwa maana ufalme wa Mungu ni wenu.
21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
Mmebarikiwa ninyi mlio na njaa sasa, kwa maana mtashibishwa. Mmebarikiwa ninyi mliao sasa, kwa maana mtacheka.
22 Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.
Mmebarikiwa ninyi ambao watu watakapowachukia na kuwatenga na kuwashutumu ninyi kwamba ni waovu, kwa ajili ya Mwana Adamu.
23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.
Furahini katika siku hiyo na kurukaruka kwa furaha, kwa sababu hakika mtakuwa na thawabu kubwa mbinguni, kwa maana baba zao waliwatendea vivyohivyo manabii.
24 “But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your consolation.
Lakini ole wenu mlio matajiri! Kwa maana mmekwisha pata faraja yenu.
25 Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
Ole wenu mlio shiba sasa! Kwa maana mtaona njaa baadaye. Ole wenu mnaocheka sasa! Kwa maana mtaomboleza na kulia baadaye.
26 Woe, when men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.
Ole wenu, mtakaposifiwa na watu wote! Kwa maana baba zao waliwatendea manabii wa uongo vivyohivyo.
27 “But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
Lakini nasema kwenu ninyi mnaonisikiliza, wapendeni adui zenu na kufanya mema kwa wanao wachukieni.
28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.
Wabarikini wale wanao walaani ninyi na waombeeni wale wanaowaonea.
29 To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your coat also.
Kwake yeye akupigaye shavu moja, mgeuzie na la pili. Kama mtu akikunyang'anya joho lako usimzuilie na kanzu.
30 Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.
Mpe kila akuombaye. Kama mtu akikunyang'anya kitu ambacho ni mali yako, usimuombe akurudishie.
31 “As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them.
Kama mpendavyo watu wawatendee, nanyi watendeeni vivyo hivyo.
32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
Kama mkiwapenda watu wawapendao ninyi tu, hiyo ni thawabu gani kwenu? Kwamaana hata wenye dhambi huwapenda wale wawapendao.
33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
Kama mkiwatendea mema wale wanaowatendea ninyi mema, hiyo ni thawabu gani kwenu? Kwa maana hata wenye dhambi hufanya vivyo hivyo.
34 If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.
Kama mkikopesha vitu kwa watu ambao mnategemea watawarudishia, hiyo ni thawabu gani kwenu? Hata wenye dhambi huwakopesha wenye dhambi, na hutegemea kupokea kiasi hicho hicho tena.
35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind towards the unthankful and evil.
Lakini wapendeni adui zenu na watendeeni mema. Wakopesheni na msihofu kuhusu kurudishiwa, na thawabu yenu itakuwa kubwa. Mtakuwa wana wa Aliye Juu, kwasababu yeye mwenyewe ni mwema kwa watu wasio na shukurani na waovu.
36 “Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.
Iweni na huruma, kama Baba yenu alivyo na huruma.
37 Don’t judge, and you won’t be judged. Don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.
Msihukumu, nanyi hamta hukumiwa. Msilaani, nanyi hamtalaaniwa. Sameheni wengine, nanyi mtasamehewa.
38 “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you.”
Wapeni wengine, nanyi mtapewa. Kiasi cha ukarimu - kilichoshindiliwa, kusukwasukwa na kumwagika - kitamwagika magotini penu. Kwa sababu kwa kipimo chochote mnachotumia kupimia, kipimo hicho hicho kitatumika kuwapimia ninyi.”
39 He spoke a parable to them. “Can the blind guide the blind? Won’t they both fall into a pit?
Kisha akawaambia mfano pia. “Je mtu aliye kipofu aweza kumwongoza mtu mwingine kipofu? Kama alifanya hivyo, basi wote wangalitumbukia shimoni, je wasingetumbukia?
40 A disciple is not above his rabbi, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his rabbi.
Mwanafunzi hawi mkubwa kuliko mwalimu wake, lakini kila mtu akiisha kufundishwa kwa ukamilifu atakuwa kama mwalimu wake.
41 Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?
Na kwa nini basi wakitazama kibanzi kilicho ndani ya jicho la ndugu yako, na boriti lililo ndani ya jicho lako huliangalii?
42 Or how can you tell your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,’ when you yourself don’t see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye.
Utawezaje kumwambia ndugu yako, 'Ndugu, naomba nikitoe kibanzi kilicho ndani ya jicho lako,' nawe huangalii boriti iliyo katika jicho lako mwenyewe? Mnafiki wewe! Kwanza itoe boriti katika jicho lako mwenyewe, ndipo utaona vizuri kutoa kibanzi katika jicho la ndugu yako.
43 “For there is no good tree that produces rotten fruit, nor again a rotten tree that produces good fruit.
Kwa sababu hakuna mti mzuri uzaao matunda mabaya, wala hakuna mti mbaya uzaao matunda mazuri.
44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people don’t gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.
Kwa sababu kila mti hutambulika kwa matunda yake. Kwa sababu watu hawachumi tini kutoka kwenye miba, wala hawachumi zabibu kutoka kwenye michongoma.
45 The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.
Mtu mwema katika hazina njema ya moyo wake hutoa yaliyo mema, na mtu mwovu katika hazina mbovu ya moyo wake hutoa yaliyo maovu. Kwa sababu kinywa chake husema yale yaujazayo moyo wake.
46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?
Kwanini mnaniita, 'Bwana, Bwana', na bado hamyatendi yale nisemayo?
47 Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words and does them, I will show you who he is like.
Kila mtu ajaye kwangu na kuyasikia maneno yangu na kuyatendea kazi, nitawaonyesha jinsi alivyo.
48 He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock.
Anafanana na mtu ajengae nyumba yake, ambaye huchimba chini sana, na kujenga msingi wa nyumba juu ya mwamba imara. Mafuriko yalipokuja, maporomoko ya maji yaliipiga nyumba, lakini hayakuweza kuitikisa, kwa sababu ilikuwa imejengwa vizuri.
49 But he who hears and doesn’t do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.”
Lakini yeyote asikiaye neno langu na hakulitii; mfano wake ni mtu aliyejenga nyumba juu ya ardhi pasipokuwa na msingi, mto ulipoishukia kwa nguvu, nyumba ile ilitopata maangamizi makubwa.
