Matthew 12 (BOU)

1Kisingi icho Yesu akembokea kwe minda ya uhemba msi wa kuhumwiiza. Aho wahina wakwe wakawa nasaa, kusenga uhemba, wakada khokhoo zakwe.At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them.

2Mafalisayo wekuonaho ayo, wakamwamba Yesu, “Kauwa, wahina wako wagosoa mbui yesayokukundigwa kugosoka mwe Msi wa Kuhumwiiza.”When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”

3Yesu akawatambaisa, “Khamzati kusoma ekugosoavyo Daudi hamwe na weziwe kisingi wekuwaho na saa?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Yee kengia mwe nyumba ya Muungu akada yada mabumunda yekuikwayo hemeso ya Muungu. Khio yee wala wada weziwe khawekukundigwa kuda yada mabumunda iya nee yakundigwa kuigwa na waviki wowodu ikedu.He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for them to eat, but only for the priests.

5Tambe khamzati kusoma mwe miko, Waviki wakuu newawa wakabananga miko ya Msi wa Kuhumwiiza nao khawamamakhanywa kuwa wana masa?Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?

6Iya nawagombeka kwei, aha yuaho mkuu kusima nyumba ya Muungu.But I tell you that One greater than the temple is here.

7Inga nee mmanya mana ya mbui inu, ‘Nakunda mbazi nawala khio ntambiko.’ Khamwekuwa mkawaamuiiya wantu wesaokukoa masa,If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.

8kwaviya Mwana wa Mntu nee Zumbe wa Msi wa kuhumwiiza.”For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

9Yesu akahauka hantu aho, na kwengia mwe nyumba yao yakukintania Wayahudi.Moving on from there, Jesus entered their synagogue,

10Nekuwa na mntu yumwe mwenye mkono wekuhoao. Naho, wantu wakamuuza Yesu, “Kulawana na miko yetu, ivi ni vitana kuohoa mntu Msi wa Kuhumwiiza? Wamuuza ivyo wapate kumuamuiiya masa.”and a man with a withered hand was there. In order to accuse Jesus, they asked Him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

11Yesu akawamba, “Ni ndai gatigati yenu mwenye ngoto yumwe, na yuda ngoto akengia mwe tubwi Msi wa Kuhumwiiza, ivi khanaamtoze na kumlavya?He replied, “If one of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?

12Nakunda mmanye du, mntu ana yombe muno kusima ngoto! Aho ni vitana kugosoa matana Msi wa Kuhumwiiza.”How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

13Naho akamwamba yuda mntu, “Unyooshe uwo mkono.” Akanyoosha, nao ukawa mgima inga uda mtuhu.Then Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored to full use, just like the other.

14Aho, Mafalisayo wakalawa chongoi na kufanyanya wendavyowadahe kumkoma Yesu.But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

15Akini Yesu ekumanyaho mamakhanyi zao, hantu hada akahalawa. Wantu wangi wakamtongea, akawahonya watamu wose.Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,

16Akawaemeza wasekumwamba mntu mbui zakwe.warning them not to make Him known.

17Ili yada ekwambayo Muoni Isaya yaiganie,This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

18“Kauwa mndima yangu nekumsaguae, Mkundiswa wangu nitamiwae nae mwe moyo. Nenda niike Muye wangu, Nae enda aiyambaze miamuiyo kwa si zose.“Here is My Servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations.

19Khana aete uhigano na wantu wala kutoa vuzo, Wala mgutio wakwe khauna utegeezeke siai.He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear His voice in the streets.

20Lasi dekuhondekado khanaadibonde, Wala utambi wa koloboi ufufutikao mosi khanaaukome Adi endaho atende uwamuiyo wa kwei ugooke wenye,A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish, till He leads justice to victory.

21Na wantu wose wendawamkauwiiye.”In His name the nations will put their hope.”

22Aho wantu wakamwetea Yesu mntu mwekuwae ni tuntu naho khadaha kutamwiiya uku kakwewa ni mazaiko. Yesu nee amhonya ata akadaha kutamwiiya na kuona.Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to Jesus, and He healed the man so that he could speak and see.

23Zumwezumwe dose da wantu dikahondomaa na kugombeka, “Ivi yadahika ikawa nee Mwana wa Daudi?”The crowds were astounded and asked, “Could this be the Son of David?”

24Akini Mafalisayo wekusikiaho ayo, newamba, “Mntu uyu ayaguusa mazaiko kwa udaho wa Belizebuli mkuu wa mazaiko.”But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “Only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, does this man drive out demons.”

25Yesu, akawamanya mamakhanyo zao, akawamba, “Useuta wowose wekupanganikao vizumwezumwe vihiganavyo khaudaha kwekaisa, naho mzi wowose hambu kaya yoyose yekupanganikayo vizumwezumwe vihiganavyo khavina vigooke.Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.

26Ikawa Ibiisi amguusa Ibiisi mweziwe ahigana mwenye. Aho useuta wakwe wenda ugooke viivihi?If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?

27Nywie mwamba ati naguusa mazaiko kwa udaho wa Belizebuli mkuu wa mazaiko. Awo wana wenu wayaguusa kwa udaho wa ndai? Kwaajii iyo wao nee wendao awaamuiye nywinywi.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

28Akini ikawa nayaguusa mazaiko kwa udaho wa Muye wa Muungu, aho mmanye Useuta wa Muungu ubua kae henu.But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

29“Yadahika viivihi mntu kwengia mwe nyumba ya mntu mwenye nguvu na kumhoka vintu vyakwe, kwesaho kuvoka kumzengeteza sigi uyo mntu mwenye nguvu? Akimzengeteza kae aho ndiho endahoadahe kumhoka mai zakwe.Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and steal his possessions, unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.

30“Mntu yoyose mwese kuwa hamwe na miye ahigana na miye naho mtu yoyose mwesaekuika wantu hamwe na miye na kuwegaa kwa Muungu mtu uyo amwaganisa.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

31Kwaajii iyo nawamba, wantu wenda waekewe mavigaviga yao hamwe na kufuu zao, akini khawana waekewe mavigaviga ya kumbea Muye wa Muungu.Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

32Nae agombekae mbui ya kuhigana na Mwana wa Mntu enda aekewe, akini yuda agombekae mbui ya kuhigana na Muye wa Muungu khana aekewe mwe si inu wala ida yezayo.Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come.

33“Ukauweni mti uwe mtana na matunda yakwe yenda yawe matana na ugosoeni mti kuwa mfyaimi na matunda yakwe yenda yawe mafyaimi, kwaviya mti wamanyika kwa matunda yakwe.Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is known by its fruit.

34Nywie uvyazi wa mdudu mwadaha viivihi kugombeka mbui ntana kisingi nywinywi wenye ni wenye mavigaviga? Kwaviya mntu agombeka yada yekumemayo mwe moyo wakwe.You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

35Mntu yedi ulavya mbui zedi mwe moyo wakwe na mntu mfyaimi hulavya mbui zakwe za ufyaimi kwe moyo wakwe wa ufyaimi.The good man brings good things out of his good store of treasure, and the evil man brings evil things out of his evil store of treasure.

36“Iya nawamba, mwe msi wakuamuiwa wantu wenda wakundigwe kutambaisa kuusu kia mbui wekugombekayo.But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

37Kwaviya kwayada ugombekayo wendautaaziwe kuwa uyedi hemeso ya Muungu na kwa kugombeka wendauamuiwe.”For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

38Wamwe wa wahinyi wa Miko na Mafalisayo wakamwamba Yesu, “Mhinyi takunda kuona ntangio kulawa kwako.”Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”

39Iya yee akawatambaisa, “Kivyazi chesacho kutama na cha ukianga chaondeza ntangio! Iya khakina chekhigwe ntangio iya ntangio wa Yona muoni wa Muungu.Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

40Kwaviya inga Yona ekuwavyo mwe ifu da samaki etangwae Nyangumi, nee ivyo Mwana wa Mntu endavyoekae asi ya sanga kwa misi mitatu kio na musi.For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

41Wantu wa Ninawi wenda wagooke msi wa kuamuiwa hamwe na uvyazi unu na kuwaamuiiya, kwaviya wowo wayaeka mavigaviga kwa mabiikizi ya Yona, kauwa hanu yuaho ambae ni mkuu kusima Yona!The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.

42Maikia wa kusini endaagooke kisingi cha uamuiyo na kukiamuiya kivyazi iki, kwaviya yee kalawiiya kisikiizi cha inusi, kutegeeza umanyi wa Selemani, akeza kutegeeza mbui za umanyi wa Selemani na aha yuaho ekuwae mkuu kusima Selemani.The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.

43“Zaiko dimlawaho mntu, daangadika angadika mwe hantu hesiho na mazi dikoondeza hantu hakuhumwiiza akini kadipata,When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.

44aho egombekea mwenye, ‘Nenda niiuiye ida nyumba yangu nekulawayo.’ Iya auyaho na kuibwiiya ibue ihagiwa na kuhambwa vitana.Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ On its return, it finds the house vacant, swept clean, and put in order.

45Aho, aita kuwaeta mazaiko mfungate wafyaimi kusima yee, nao wengia nakwekaa umo. Nae hali ya kisiikizi ya mntu yuda yatenda ya ufyaimi muno kusima ya bosi. Nee yendavyoiwe mwe uvyazi unu wa mavigaviga.”Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first. So will it be with this wicked generation.”

46Yesu ekuwaho atamwiiya na zumwezumwe da wantu, mami yakwe na wanduguze wakabua na kugooka chongoi na kukunda kutamwiiya nae.While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.

47Aho mntu yumwe akamwamba, “Mhinyi, mami yako na wanduguzo wagooka uko chongoi wakunda kutamwiiya nawe.”Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”

48Yesu akamtambaisa, “Mmaa yangu nindai, na wandugu zangu ni wakina ndai?”But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?”

49Ahoaho akenua mkono kwa wahina wakwe, akagombeka, “Awa nee mmaa yangu na wandugu zangu!Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers.

50Mana yoyose agosoae akundavyo Tate yangu wa uwanga kwa Muungu, uyo nee kaka yangu na umbu dangu na mmaa yangu.”For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
