Matthew 9 (BOU)

1Yesu akakwea ngaawa, akadumua ntondoo da mazi na kubua mwe mzi wa Kapelinaumu ekuwaho akekaa.Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.

2Aho wakamwetea mntu mwenye kuhooa mwii, kagonezwa mwe javi. Yesu ekuonaho uzumizi wao, akamwamba uyo mntu mwe kuhooa, “Ekhe moyo mwanangu! Kuekewa mavigaviga yako.”Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”

3Naho wamwe wa wahinyi wa miko wakavoka kumamakhanya mwe mioyo yao, “Mntu uyu amdumua Muungu!”On seeing this, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”

4Yesu akayamanya wamamakhanyayo, akamba “Kwambwai mwamamakhanya ufyaimi mwe mioyo yenu?But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?

5Ni dihi dekuhuhado muno, kugombeka, ‘kuekewa mavigaviga, hambu kugombeka, gooka wende?’Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

6Naho, nakunda mmanye Mwana wa Mntu ana udaho mwe inusi ya kuwaekea wantu mavigaviga.” Aho akamwamba uyo mntu mwekuhoowa, “Enuka, udoe javi dako uite kaya kwako.”But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

7Yuda mntu ekuhooae akahauka na kuita kaya kwakwe.And the man got up and went home.

8Zumwezumwe da wantu dekuwado hada, dikahondomaa na kuogoha, wakamtogoa Muungu ekuwekhae wantu udaho wa namna iyo.When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

9Yesu akahauka hantu hada, na ekuwaho akaita zakwe, akamwoona mntu yumwe etangwae Matayo, kekaa mwe kazumba cha kuihiiya ushuu. Nee, Yesu amwamba, “Nibase.” Matayo akenuka, akambasa.As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.

10Yesu ekuwaho kaya kwa Matayo kekaa ada khande, watoza ushuu wangi na wenye mavigaviga wakeza na kwekaa hamwe na Yesu na wahina wakwe.Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.

11Mafalisayo wekuonaho, wakawamba wahina wakwe, “Kwambwai mhinyi yenu ada khande hamwe na watoza ushuu na wenye mavigaviga?”When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

12Yesu ekuwategeezaho, akawatambaisa, “Wantu wenye ugima khawakunda mganga, iya watamu du nee wakundao mganga.On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

13Akini hitani, mkehinye mana ya mbui inu. ‘Nakunda mbazi khio ntambiko.’ Nchekweza kuwetanga wantu wedi iya wenye mavigaviga.”But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

14Naho wahina wa Yohana Mbatiiza wakamtimia Yesu, na kumuuza, “Swie na Mafalisayo tehiniza kuda, kwambwai wahina wako khawehiniza kuda?”Then John’s disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast so often, but Your disciples do not fast?”

15Yesu akawatambaisa, “Ivi wekugonekwao kwe ndoza wadaha viivihi kutoa bwaimbo kisingi zumbe wa ndoza yuke hamwe nao? Havidaika! Iya kisingi chendakibue ambaho zumbe wa wiya endaho ausigwe gatigati yao, kisingi icho ndiho wendaho wehinize kuda.Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while He is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

16“Wantu khawagea kilaka cha gwanda dihya mwe gwanda dekusakaayo. Kwa mana kilaka icho chendakitatue diya gwanda dekusakaayo, na hada hekutatukaho endahagenyee.No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch will pull away from the garment, and a worse tear will result.

17Naho wantu khawageya divai mphya mwe mikwiji yekusakaayo, inga akatenda ivyo iyo divai mphya yendaitatue iyo mikwiji na divai yendayetike na mikwiji iyo yendaibanike. Divai mphya yagewa mwe mikwiji ya babu mihya.”Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

18Yesu ekuwaho akagombeka ayo, mkuu yumwe wa Wakiyahudi neabuwa, akamkintia mavindi na kugombeka, “Mwanangu ya kindee kauya kae na nyuma isasa ivi. Akini tite ukamwikie mkono, nae endaatende mgima.”While Jesus was saying these things, a synagogue leader came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and place Your hand on her, and she will live.”

19Yesu akahauka akatongeana nae, nao wahina wakwe wakamtongea.So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.

20Kisingi ichoicho, mmaa yumwe, mwekuwa na utamu wa mtuo kwa kisingi cha myaka kumi dimwe na mbii, nee amtongea Yesu kwa nyuma, akadonta msao wa gwanda dakwe.Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.

21Kwaviya nee kegombekea mwe moyo wakwe, “Nikadonta du gwanda dakwe, nendanihone.”She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”

22Yesu nee ahituka akamwona, akamwamba, “Ekhe moyo biti yangu! Uzumizi wako ukuohoa.” Mmaa uyo akahona saa idaida.Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that very hour.

23Naho Yesu akengia nyumbani kwa yuda mkuu. Na ekuwaonaho wantu wavuzia fiimbi na zumwezumwe kuu da wantu wakatoa bwaimbo,When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.

24akagombeka, “Haukeni aha! Mndee uyu khekuuya na nyuma, kagonadu.” Nawo nee wamseka.“Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.

25Naho, zumwezumwe da wantu dekuuswaho, Yesu akengia mda ndani, akamtoza mkono uyo mndee, nae akenuka.After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.

26Mbui iyo ikaambazika mwe si ida yose.And the news about this spread throughout that region.

27Yesu ekuwaho ahauka hantu aho, matuntu waidi wakambasa na kutoa vuzo, “Mwana wa Daudi, utifiiye mbazi!”As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

28Yesu ekwengiaho nyumbani, wantu awo waidi wakamtimia, nae akawauza, “Ivi, mwazumiiya nadaha kutenda mbui iyo?” Nao nee wamtambaisa, “Eehe, Zumbe.”After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.

29Aho Yesu akayadonta meso yao, akawamba, “Naiwe inga mzuumiavyo!”Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”

30Meso yao yakagubulwa. Nee Yesu akawahaza muno, “Mwesekumwamba mntu yoyose mbui inu!”And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”

31Iya wowo wakalawa na kuambaza mbui zakwe Yesu mwe si ida yose.But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.

32Wantu wada waidi wekuwaho wakahauka, watuhu wakamwetea Yesu mntu yumwe mwekuwa mbubu naho kakwewa ni zaiko.As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.

33Ahoaho uyo zaiko dekulavigwaho, mntu uyo mwekuwa mbubu akavoka kutamwiiya vituhu. Wantu wakahondomaa na kugombeka, “Mbui inga inu khaizati kulawiiya kwa wantu wa Isilaeli!”And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

34Iya Mafalisayo wakagombeka, “Ayaguusa mazaiko kwa udaho wa mkuu wa mazaiko.”But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”

35Yesu akavuiiya mizi yose mikuu na phaamo zose, akahinya he nyumba ya kukintania Wayahudi na kubiikia Mbui Yedi za Useuta wa Muungu, na kuwahonya wantu matamu yose.Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.

36Na ekuwaonaho wantu, zumwezumwe kwa zumwezumwe, akawafiiya mbazi kwaajii newasokea muno na wenye maatumaatu inga ngoto wesao kuwa na muisi.When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

37Ivyo akawamba wahina wakwe, “Ubosi ni mwingi, iya wagosozi wandima niwacheche.Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

38Ivyo mwombezeni mwenye uwo ubosi aagiiye wagosozi wa ndima wabonde ubosi wakwe.”Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
