1. 1SWH1850Basi, Yesu aliwasimulia mfano kuonyesha kwamba ni lazima kusali daima bila kukata tamaa.BSBBSB: Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
2. 2SWH1850Alisema: “Katika mji mmoja kulikuwa na hakimu ambaye hakuwa anamcha Mungu wala kumjali binadamu.BSBBSB: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3. 3SWH1850Katika mji huohuo, kulikuwa pia na mama mmoja mjane, ambaye alimwendea huyo hakimu mara nyingi akimwomba amtetee apate haki yake kutoka kwa adui yake.BSBBSB: And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4. 4SWH1850Kwa muda mrefu huyo hakimu hakupenda kumtetea huyo mjane; lakini, mwishowe akajisemea: Ingawa mimi simchi Mungu wala simjali binadamu,BSBBSB: For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5. 5SWH1850lakini kwa vile huyu mjane ananisumbua, nitamtetea; la sivyo ataendelea kufika hapa, na mwisho atanichosha kabisa!”BSBBSB: yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Otherwise, she will wear me out with her perpetual requests.’”
6. 6SWH1850Basi, Bwana akaendelea kusema, “Sikieni jinsi alivyosema huyo hakimu mbaya.BSBBSB: And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7. 7SWH1850Je, ndio kusema Mungu hatawatetea wale aliowachagua, ambao wanamlilia mchana na usiku? Je, atakawia kuwasikiliza?BSBBSB: Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay in helping them?
8. 8SWH1850Nawaambieni atawatetea upesi. Hata hivyo, je, kutakuwako na imani duniani wakati Mwana wa Mtu atakapokuja?”BSBBSB: I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”
9. 9SWH1850Halafu Yesu aliwaambia pia mfano wa wale ambao walijiona kuwa wema na kuwadharau wengine.BSBBSB: To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
10. 10SWH1850“Watu wawili walipanda kwenda Hekaluni kusali: mmoja Mfarisayo, na mwingine mtoza ushuru.BSBBSB: “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11. 11SWH1850Huyo Mfarisayo akasimama, akasali kimoyomoyo: Ee Mungu, nakushukuru kwa vile mimi si kama watu wengine: walafi, wadanganyifu au wazinzi. Nakushukuru kwamba mimi si kama huyu mtoza ushuru.BSBBSB: The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
12. 12SWH1850Nafunga mara mbili kwa juma, natoa zaka sehemu ya kumi ya pato langu.BSBBSB: I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13. 13SWH1850Lakini yule mtoza ushuru, akiwa amesimama kwa mbali bila hata kuinua macho yake mbinguni, ila tu akijipiga kifua kwa huzuni, alisema: Ee Mungu, unionee huruma mimi mwenye dhambi.BSBBSB: But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’
14. 14SWH1850Nawaambieni, huyu mtoza ushuru alirudi nyumbani akiwa amesamehewa. Lakini yule mwingine, sivyo. Kwa maana kila anayejikweza atashushwa, na kila anayejishusha atakwezwa.”BSBBSB: I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15. 15SWH1850Watu walimletea Yesu watoto wadogo ili awawekee mikono yake. Wanafunzi walipowaona, wakawazuia kwa maneno makali.BSBBSB: Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who brought them.
16. 16SWH1850Lakini Yesu akawaita kwake akisema: “Waacheni hao watoto waje kwangu, wala msiwazuie, kwa maana Ufalme wa Mungu ni kwa ajili ya watu kama hawa.BSBBSB: But Jesus called the children to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
17. 17SWH1850Nawaambieni kweli, mtu yeyote asiyeupokea Ufalme wa Mungu kama mtoto mdogo, hataingia katika Ufalme huo.”BSBBSB: Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18. 18SWH1850Kiongozi mmoja, Myahudi, alimwuliza Yesu, “Mwalimu mwema, nifanye nini ili niweze kuupata uzima wa milele?”BSBBSB: Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19. 19SWH1850Yesu akamwambia, “Mbona waniita mwema? Hakuna aliye mwema ila Mungu peke yake.BSBBSB: “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
20. 20SWH1850Unazijua amri: Usizini; usiue; usiibe; usitoe ushahidi wa uongo; waheshimu baba yako na mama yako.”BSBBSB: You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”
21. 21SWH1850Yeye akasema, “Hayo yote nimeyazingatia tangu ujana wangu.”BSBBSB: “All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
22. 22SWH1850Yesu aliposikia hayo akamwambia, “Unatakiwa bado kufanya kitu kimoja: uza kila ulicho nacho, wagawie maskini, na hivyo utakuwa na hazina yako mbinguni; halafu njoo unifuate.”BSBBSB: On hearing this, Jesus told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
23. 23SWH1850Lakini huyo mtu aliposikia hayo, alihuzunika sana kwa sababu alikuwa tajiri sana.BSBBSB: But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
24. 24SWH1850Yesu alipoona akihuzunika hivyo, akasema, “Jinsi gani ilivyo vigumu kwa matajiri kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu!BSBBSB: Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25. 25SWH1850Naam, ni rahisi zaidi kwa ngamia kupita katika tundu la sindano, kuliko tajiri kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu.”BSBBSB: Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
26. 26SWH1850Wale watu waliposikia hayo, wakasema, “Nani basi, atakayeokolewa?”BSBBSB: Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27. 27SWH1850Yesu akajibu, “Yasiyowezekana kwa binadamu, yanawezekana kwa Mungu.”BSBBSB: But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
28. 28SWH1850Naye Petro akamwuliza, “Na sisi je? Tumeacha vitu vyote tukakufuata!”BSBBSB: “Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
29. 29SWH1850Yesu akawaambia, “Kweli nawaambieni, mtu yeyote aliyeacha nyumba au mke au kaka au wazazi au watoto kwa ajili ya Ufalme wa Mungu,BSBBSB: “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God
30. 30SWH1850atapokea mengi zaidi wakati huu wa sasa, na kupokea uzima wa milele wakati ujao.”BSBBSB: will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”
31. 31SWH1850Yesu aliwachukua kando wale kumi na wawili, akawaambia, “Sikilizeni! Tunakwenda Yerusalemu na huko kila kitu kilichoandikwa na manabii kuhusu Mwana wa Mtu kitakamilishwa.BSBBSB: Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
32. 32SWH1850Kwa maana atakabidhiwa kwa watu wa mataifa nao watamtendea vibaya na kumtemea mate.BSBBSB: He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33. 33SWH1850Watampiga mijeledi, watamuua; lakini siku ya tatu atafufuka.”BSBBSB: They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34. 34SWH1850Lakini wao hawakuelewa hata kidogo jambo hilo; walikuwa wamefichwa maana ya maneno hayo, na hawakutambua yaliyosemwa.BSBBSB: But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.
35. 35SWH1850Wakati Yesu alipokaribia Yeriko, kulikuwa na mtu mmoja kipofu ameketi njiani akiomba.BSBBSB: As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
36. 36SWH1850Aliposikia umati wa watu ukipita aliuliza, “Kuna nini?”BSBBSB: When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
37. 37SWH1850Wakamwambia, “Yesu wa Nazareti anapita.”BSBBSB: “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
38. 38SWH1850Naye akapaza sauti akisema, “Yesu, Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!”BSBBSB: So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39. 39SWH1850Wale watu waliotangulia wakamkemea wakimwambia anyamaze; lakini yeye akazidi kupaza sauti: “Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie;”BSBBSB: Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
40. 40SWH1850Yesu alisimama, akaamuru wamlete mbele yake. Yule kipofu alipofika karibu, Yesu akamwuliza,BSBBSB: Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had come near, Jesus asked him,
41. 41SWH1850“Unataka nikufanyie nini?” Naye akamjibu, “Bwana, naomba nipate kuona tena.”BSBBSB: “What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
42. 42SWH1850Yesu akamwambia, “Ona! Imani yako imekuponya.”BSBBSB: “Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”
43. 43SWH1850Na mara yule aliyekuwa kipofu akapata kuona, akamfuata Yesu akimtukuza Mungu. Watu wote walipoona hayo, wakamsifu Mungu.BSBBSB: Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
