Luke 6 (NMM) · Opened

1Ikawa siku moja ya Sabato Isa alikuwa akipita katika mashamba ya nafaka, nao wanafunzi wake wakaanza kuvunja masuke ya nafaka, wakayafikicha kwa mikono yao na kula punje zake.One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.

2Baadhi ya Mafarisayo wakawauliza, “Mbona mnafanya mambo yasiyo halali kufanywa siku ya Sabato?”But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

3Isa akawajibu, “Je, ninyi hamjasoma alivyofanya Daudi wakati yeye na wenzake walikuwa na njaa?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Aliingia ndani ya nyumba ya Mungu, akaichukua na kuila ile mikate iliyowekwa wakfu, ambayo ni halali kuliwa na makuhani tu. Naye pia akawapa wenzake.”He entered the house of God, took the consecrated bread and gave it to his companions, and ate what is lawful only for the priests to eat.”

5Kisha Isa akawaambia, “Mwana wa Adamu ndiye Bwana wa Sabato.”Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

6Ikawa siku nyingine ya Sabato, Isa aliingia ndani ya sinagogi na akawa anafundisha. Huko palikuwa na mtu ambaye mkono wake wa kuume ulikuwa umepooza.On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

7Mafarisayo na walimu wa Torati walikuwa wakitafuta sababu ya kumshtaki Isa. Kwa hivyo wakawa wanamwangalia sana ili waone kama ataponya katika siku ya Sabato.Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

8Lakini Isa alijua mawazo yao, hivyo akamwambia yule mtu mwenye mkono uliopooza, “Inuka usimame mbele ya watu wote.” Hivyo yule mtu akainuka, akasimama mbele yao wote.But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.

9Ndipo Isa akawaambia wale walimu wa Torati na Mafarisayo, “Nawauliza ninyi, ni lipi lililo halali siku ya Sabato? Ni kutenda mema au kutenda mabaya? Ni kuokoa maisha au kuyaangamiza?”Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”

10Akawatazama watu wote waliokuwepo, kisha akamwambia yule mtu, “Nyoosha mkono wako!” Akaunyoosha, na mkono wake ukawa umeponywa kabisa.And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.

11Wale wakuu wakakasirika sana, wakashauriana wao kwa wao ni nini watakachomtendea Isa.But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

12Ikawa katika siku hizo Isa alienda mlimani kuomba, akakesha usiku kucha akimwomba Mungu.In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.

13Kulipopambazuka, akawaita wanafunzi wake, naye akachagua kumi na wawili, ambao pia aliwaita mitume:When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:

14Simoni (aliyemwita Petro) na Andrea nduguye, Yakobo, Yohana, Filipo, Bartholomayo,Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

15Mathayo, Tomaso, Yakobo mwana wa Alfayo, Simoni aliyeitwa Zelote,Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;

16Yuda mwana wa Yakobo, na Yuda Iskariote, aliyekuwa msaliti.Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17Akashuka pamoja nao, akasimama mahali penye uwanja tambarare. Hapo palikuwa na idadi kubwa ya wanafunzi wake na umati mkubwa wa watu kutoka sehemu zote za Yudea, kutoka Yerusalemu, na kutoka pwani ya Tiro na Sidoni.Then Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples was there, along with a great number of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon.

18Walikuwa wamekuja kumsikiliza na kuponywa magonjwa yao. Wale waliokuwa wakiteswa na pepo wachafu akawaponya.They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.

19Watu wote walikuwa wanajitahidi kumgusa kwa sababu nguvu zilikuwa zikimtoka na kuwaponya wote.The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.

20Akawatazama wanafunzi wake, akasema: “Mmebarikiwa ninyi mlio maskini, kwa sababu ufalme wa Mungu ni wenu.Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

21Mmebarikiwa ninyi mlio na njaa sasa, kwa sababu mtashibishwa. Mmebarikiwa ninyi mnaolia sasa, kwa sababu mtacheka.Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

22Mmebarikiwa ninyi, watu watakapowachukia, watakapowatenga na kuwatukana na kulikataa jina lenu kama neno ovu, kwa ajili ya Mwana wa Adamu.Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.

23“Furahini na kurukaruka kwa shangwe, kwa sababu thawabu yenu ni kubwa mbinguni, kwa kuwa hivyo ndivyo baba zao walivyowatenda manabii.Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For their fathers treated the prophets in the same way.

24“Lakini ole wenu ninyi mlio matajiri, kwa sababu mmekwisha kupokea faraja yenu.But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.

25Ole wenu ninyi mlioshiba sasa, maana mtaona njaa. Ole wenu ninyi mnaocheka sasa, maana mtaomboleza na kulia.Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

26Ole wenu watu watakapowasifu, kwani ndivyo baba zao walivyowasifu manabii wa uongo.Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.

27“Lakini nawaambia ninyi mnaonisikia: Wapendeni adui zenu. Watendeeni mema wanaowachukia.But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28Wabarikini wale wanaowalaani, waombeeni wale wanaowatendea mabaya.bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

29Kama mtu akikupiga shavu moja, mgeuzie na la pili pia. Mtu akikunyang’anya koti lako, usimzuie kuchukua joho pia.If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well.

30Mpe kila akuombaye, na kama mtu akichukua mali yako usitake akurudishie.Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.

31Watendeeni wengine kama ambavyo mngetaka wawatendee ninyi.Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32“Mkiwapenda tu wale wanaowapenda, mwapata sifa gani? Hata wenye dhambi huwapenda wale wanaowapenda.If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

33Tena mkiwatendea mema wale tu wanaowatendea ninyi mema, mwapata sifa gani? Hata wenye dhambi hufanya vivyo hivyo.If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.

34Tena mnapowakopesha wale tu mnaotegemea wawalipe, mwapata sifa gani? Hata wenye dhambi huwakopesha wenye dhambi wenzao wakitarajia kulipwa mali yao yote.And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.

35Lakini wapendeni adui zenu, watendeeni mema, wakopesheni bila kutegemea kurudishiwa mlichokopesha. Ndipo thawabu yenu itakapokuwa kubwa, nanyi mtakuwa wana wa Aliye Juu Sana, kwa sababu yeye ni mwema kwa watu wasio na shukrani na kwa wale waovu.But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

36Kuweni na huruma, kama Baba yenu alivyo na huruma.Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

37“Msihukumu, nanyi hamtahukumiwa. Msilaumu, nanyi hamtalaumiwa. Sameheni, nanyi mtasamehewa.Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

38Wapeni watu vitu, nanyi mtapewa. Kipimo cha kujaa na kushindiliwa na kusukwasukwa hata kumwagika, ndicho watu watakachowapa vifuani mwenu. Kwa kuwa kipimo kile mpimacho, ndicho mtakachopimiwa.”Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

39Pia akawapa mfano akasema, “Je, kipofu aweza kumwongoza kipofu? Je, wote wawili hawatatumbukia shimoni?Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?

40Mwanafunzi hawezi kumzidi mwalimu wake, ila yule aliyehitimu aweza kuwa kama mwalimu wake.A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

41“Mbona unatazama kibanzi kilicho ndani ya jicho la ndugu yako, wala huoni boriti iliyo ndani ya jicho lako mwenyewe?Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

42Utawezaje kumwambia ndugu yako, ‘Ndugu yangu, acha nitoe kibanzi kilicho ndani ya jicho lako,’ wakati wewe mwenyewe huoni boriti iliyo ndani ya jicho lako? Ewe mnafiki, ondoa boriti ndani ya jicho lako kwanza, ndipo utaweza kuona dhahiri jinsi ya kuondoa kibanzi kilicho ndani ya jicho la ndugu yako.How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

43“Hakuna mti mzuri uzaao matunda mabaya, wala hakuna mti mbaya uzaao matunda mazuri.No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

44Kila mti hujulikana kwa matunda yake. Kwa maana watu hawachumi tini kwenye miiba, wala zabibu kwenye michongoma.For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.

45Vivyo hivyo mtu mwema hutoa mambo mema kutoka hazina ya moyo wake, naye mtu mwovu hutoa mambo maovu kutoka hazina ya moyo wake. Kwa kuwa mtu hunena kwa kinywa chake yale yaliyoujaza moyo wake.The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

46“Kwa nini mnaniita, ‘Bwana, Bwana,’ nanyi hamfanyi ninayowaambia?Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but do not do what I say?

47Nitawaonesha jinsi alivyo mtu yule anayekuja kwangu na kusikia maneno yangu na kuyatenda.I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:

48Yeye ni kama mtu aliyejenga nyumba, akachimba chini sana, na kuweka msingi kwenye mwamba. Mafuriko yalipokuja, mkondo wa maji ukaipiga ile nyumba, lakini haikutikisika, kwa sababu ilikuwa imejengwa vizuri.He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

49Lakini yeye anayesikia maneno yangu wala asiyatende, ni kama mtu aliyejenga nyumba juu ya ardhi bila kuweka msingi. Mafuriko yalipoikumba nyumba ile, ikaanguka mara na kubomoka kabisa.”But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”
