Luke 6 (SWH1850)

1Siku moja ya Sabato, Yesu alikuwa anapita katika mashamba ya ngano, na wanafunzi wake wakaanza kukwanyua masuke ya ngano, wakaondoa punje zake kwa mikono, wakala.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 jambo ambalo si halali siku ya Sabato?”But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

3Yesu akawajibu, “Je, hamjasoma jinsi alivyofanya Daudi pamoja na wenzake wakati walipokuwa na njaa?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Yeye aliingia ndani ya nyumba ya Mungu, akachukua ile mikate iliyowekwa mbele ya Mungu, akala na kuwapa wenzake. Kisheria, ni makuhani tu peke yao ndio walioruhusiwa kula mikate hiyo.”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.”

5Hivyo akawaambia, “Mwana wa Mtu ni Bwana wa Sabato.”Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

6Siku nyingine ya Sabato, Yesu aliingia katika sunagogi, akafundisha. Mle ndani mlikuwa 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.

7Walimu wa Sheria na Mafarisayo walitaka kupata kisingizio cha kumshtaki Yesu na hivyo wakawa wanangojea waone kama angemponya mtu 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 Yesu alijua mawazo yao, akamwambia yule mwenye mkono uliopooza, “Inuka, simama katikati.” Yule mtu akaenda akasimama katikati.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.

9Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “Nawaulizeni, je, ni halali siku ya Sabato kutenda jambo jema au kutenda jambo baya; 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?”

10Baada ya kuwatazama wote waliokuwa pale, akamwambia yule mtu, “Nyosha mkono wako.” Naye akafanya hivyo, na mkono wake ukawa mzima tena.And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.

11Lakini wao wakakasirika sana, wakajadiliana jinsi ya kumtendea Yesu maovu.But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

12Siku moja Yesu alikwenda mlimani kusali, akakesha huko usiku kucha akimwomba Mungu.In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.

13Kesho yake aliwaita wanafunzi wake, na miongoni mwao akachagua kumi na wawili ambao aliwaita mitume:When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:

14Simoni (ambaye Yesu alimpa jina Petro) na Andrea ndugu yake, Yakobo na Yohane, Filipo na Bartholomayo,Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

15Mathayo na Thoma, Yakobo wa Alfayo na Simoni (aliyeitwa Zelote),Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;

16Yuda wa Yakobo na Yuda Iskarioti ambaye baadaye alikuwa msaliti.Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17Baada ya kushuka mlimani pamoja na mitume, Yesu alisimama mahali palipokuwa tambarare. Hapo palikuwa na kundi kubwa la wanafunzi wake na umati wa watu waliotoka pande zote za Yudea na Yerusalemu na pwani ya Tiro na Sidoni. Wote walifika kumsikiliza Yesu na kuponywa magonjwa yao.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.

18Aliwaponya pia wote waliokuwa wanasumbuliwa na pepo wachafu.They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.

19Watu wote walitaka kumgusa, kwa maana nguvu ilikuwa inatoka ndani yake na kuwaponya wote.The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.

20Yesu akawageukia wanafunzi wake, akasema: “Heri ninyi mlio maskini, maana 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.

21Heri ninyi mnaosikia njaa sasa, maana baadaye mtashiba. Heri ninyi mnaolia sasa, maana baadaye mtacheka kwa furaha.Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

22“Heri yenu ninyi iwapo watu watawachukia, watawatenga, watawatukana na kuwaharibieni jina kwa ajili ya Mwana wa Mtu!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.

23Wakati hayo yatakapotokea, furahini na kucheza, maana hakika tuzo lenu ni kubwa mbinguni. Kwa maana wazee wao waliwatendea manabii vivyo hivyo.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.

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

25Ole wenu ninyi mnaoshiba sasa, maana baadaye mtasikia njaa. Ole wenu ninyi mnaocheka kwa furaha sasa, maana baadaye 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 ninyi iwapo watu wote wanawasifu, maana wazee wao waliwafanyia manabii wa uongo vivyo hivyo.Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.

27“Lakini nawaambieni ninyi mnaonisikiliza: wapendeni adui zenu, watendeeni mema wale wanaowachukieni.But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28Watakieni baraka wale wanaowalaani, na waombeeni wale wanaowatendea vibaya.bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

29Mtu akikupiga shavu moja mgeuzie na la pili. Mtu akikunyang'anya koti lako mwachie pia shati lako.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.

30Yeyote anayekuomba mpe, na mtu akikunyang'anya mali yako usimtake akurudishie.Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.

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

32“Na ikiwa mnawapenda tu wale wanaowapenda ninyi, je, mtapata tuzo gani? Hakuna! Kwa maana hata wenye dhambi huwapenda wale wanaowapenda wao.If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

33Tena, kama mkiwatendea mema wale tu wanaowatendeeni mema, mtapata tuzo 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.

34Na kama mnawakopesha wale tu mnaotumaini watawalipeni, je, mtapata tuzo gani? Hata wenye dhambi huwakopesha wenye dhambi wenzao ili warudishiwe kima kilekile!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.

35Ila nyinyi wapendeni adui zenu, na kuwatendea mema; kopesheni bila kutazamia malipo, na tuzo lenu litakuwa kubwa, nanyi mtakuwa watoto wa Mungu aliye juu. Kwa maana yeye ni mwema kwa wale wasio na shukrani na walio wabaya.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.

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

37“Msiwahukumu wengine, nanyi hamtahukumiwa; msiwalaumu wengine, nanyi hamtalaumiwa; wasameheni wengine, 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 wengine wanavyohitaji, nanyi mtapewa. Naam, mtapokea mikononi mwenu kipimo kilichojaa, kikashindiliwa na kusukwasukwa hata kumwagika. Kwa maana kipimo kilekile mnachotumia kwa wengine ndicho ambacho Mungu atatumia kwenu.”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.”

39Akawaambia mfano huu: “Je, kipofu anaweza kumwongoza kipofu mwenzake? La! Wote wataanguka shimoni.Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?

40Mwanafunzi hamshindi mwalimu wake, lakini kila mwanafunzi akisha hitimu huwa kama mwalimu wake.A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

41Unawezaje kukiona kibanzi kilicho katika jicho la mwenzio, usione boriti iliyo katika 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?

42Au, unawezaje kumwambia mwenzako, Ndugu, ngoja nikuondoe kibanzi katika jicho lako, na huku huioni boriti iliyoko katika jicho lako mwenyewe? Mnafiki wewe! Toa kwanza boriti iliyoko jichoni mwako, na hivyo utaona sawasawa kiasi cha kuweza kuondoa kibanzi kilicho katika 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“Mti mwema hauzai matunda mabaya, wala mti mbaya hauzai matunda mazuri.No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

44Watu huutambua mti kutokana na matunda yake. Ni wazi kwamba watu hawachumi tini katika michongoma, wala hawachumi zabibu katika mbigili.For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.

45Mtu mwema hutoa yaliyo mema kutoka katika hazina bora iliyo moyoni mwake; na mtu mbaya hutoa yaliyo mabaya katika hazina mbaya iliyo moyoni mwake, kwa maana mtu huongea kutokana na yale yaliyojaa moyoni mwake.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“Mbona mwaniita Bwana, Bwana, na huku hamtimizi yale ninayosema?Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but do not do what I say?

47Nitawapeni mfano unaofaa kuonyesha alivyo yeyote yule anayekuja kwangu, akasikia maneno yangu na kuyatimiza:I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:

48Huyo anafanana na mtu ajengaye nyumba, ambaye amechimba chini na kuweka msingi wake juu ya mwamba; kukatokea mafuriko ya mto, mkondo wa maji ukaipiga nyumba ile, lakini haukuweza kuitikisa, kwa sababu ilikuwa imejengwa imara.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 yeyote anayesikia maneno yangu lakini asifanye chochote, huyo anafanana na mtu aliyejenga nyumba juu ya udongo, bila msingi. Mafuriko ya mto yakatokea, mkondo wa maji ukaipiga nyumba ile, ikaanguka na kuharibika 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!”
