Matthew 10 (SWH1850)

1Yesu aliwaita wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili, akawapa uwezo wa kutoa pepo wachafu na kuponya magonjwa na maradhi yote.And calling His twelve disciples to Him, Jesus gave them authority over unclean spirits, so that they could drive them out and heal every disease and sickness.

2Majina ya hao mitume kumi na wawili ni haya: wa kwanza ni Simoni aitwae Petro, na Andrea ndugu yake; Yakobo mwana wa Zebedayo, na Yohane ndugu yake;These are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;

3Filipo na Bartholomayo, Thoma na Mathayo aliyekuwa mtoza ushuru; Yakobo mwana wa Alfayo, na Thadayo;Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

4Simoni Mkanaani, na Yuda Iskarioti ambaye alimsaliti Yesu.Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.

5Yesu aliwatuma hao kumi na wawili na kuwapa maagizo haya: “Msiende kwa watu wa mataifa mengine, wala msiingie katika mji wa Wasamaria.These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go onto the road of the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.

6Ila nendeni kwa watu wa Israeli waliopotea kama kondoo.Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.

7Mnapokwenda hubirini hivi: Ufalme wa mbinguni umekaribia.As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’

8Ponyeni wagonjwa, fufueni wafu, takaseni wenye ukoma, toeni pepo. Mmepewa bure, toeni bure.Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

9Msichukue mifukoni mwenu dhahabu, wala fedha, wala sarafu za shaba.Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts.

10Msichukue mkoba wa kuombea njiani, wala koti la ziada, wala viatu, wala fimbo. Maana mfanyakazi anastahili riziki yake.Take no bag for the road, or second tunic, or sandals, or staff; for the worker is worthy of his provisions.

11“Mkiingia katika mji wowote au kijiji, tafuteni humo mtu yeyote aliye tayari kuwakaribisheni, na kaeni naye mpaka mtakapoondoka mahali hapo.Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy there and stay at his house until you move on.

12Mnapoingia nyumbani wasalimuni wenyeji wake.As you enter the home, greet its occupants.

13Kama wenyeji wa nyumba hiyo wakiipokea salamu hiyo, basi, amani yenu itakaa pamoja nao. Lakini ikiwa hawaipokei, basi amani yenu itawarudia ninyi.If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it, but if it is not, let your peace return to you.

14Kama mtu yeyote atakataa kuwakaribisheni au kuwasikilizeni, basi mtokapo katika nyumba hiyo au mji huo, yakung'uteni mavumbi miguuni mwenu kama onyo kwao.And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.

15Kweli nawaambieni, Siku ya hukumu mji huo utapata adhabu kubwa kuliko ile iliyoipata miji ya Sodoma na Gomora.Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

16“Sasa, mimi nawatuma ninyi kama kondoo kati ya mbwa mwitu. Muwe na busara kama nyoka, na wapole kama njiwa.Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

17Jihadharini na watu, maana watawapeleka ninyi mahakamani na kuwapiga viboko katika masunagogi yao.But beware of men, for they will hand you over to their councils and flog you in their synagogues.

18Mtapelekwa mbele ya watawala na wafalme kwa sababu yangu, mpate kutangaza Habari Njema kwao na kwa mataifa.On My account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.

19Basi, watakapowapeleka ninyi mahakamani, msiwe na wasiwasi mtasema nini au namna gani; wakati utakapofika, mtapewa la kusema.But when they hand you over, do not worry about how to respond or what to say. In that hour you will be given what to say.

20Maana si ninyi mtakaosema, bali ni Roho wa Baba yenu asemaye ndani yenu.For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

21“Ndugu atamsaliti ndugu yake auawe, na baba atamsaliti mwanawe, nao watoto watawashambulia wazazi wao na kuwaua.Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.

22Watu wote watawachukieni kwa sababu ya jina langu. Lakini atakayevumilia mpaka mwisho, ataokolewa.You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

23“Watu wakiwadhulumu katika mji mmoja, kimbilieni mji mwingine. Kweli nawaambieni, hamtamaliza ziara yenu katika miji yote ya Israeli kabla Mwana wa Mtu hajafika.When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. Truly I tell you, you will not reach all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

24“Mwanafunzi si mkuu kuliko mwalimu wake, wala mtumishi si mkuu kuliko bwana wake.A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

25Yatosha mwanafunzi kuwa kama mwalimu wake, na mtumishi kuwa kama bwana wake. Ikiwa wamemwita mkubwa wa jamaa Beelzebuli, je hawatawaita watu wengine wa jamaa hiyo majina mabaya zaidi?It is enough for a disciple to be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!

26“Basi, msiwaogope watu hao. Kila kilichofunikwa kitafunuliwa, na kila kilichofichwa kitafichuliwa.So do not be afraid of them. For there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

27Ninalowaambieni ninyi katika giza, lisemeni katika mwanga; na jambo mlilosikia likinong'onezwa, litangazeni hadharani.What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.

28Msiwaogope wale wauao mwili, lakini hawawezi kuiua roho. Afadhali zaidi kumwogopa yule awezaye kuuangamiza mwili pamoja na roho katika moto wa Jehanamu.Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

29Shomoro wawili huuzwa kwa senti tano. Lakini hata mmoja wao haanguki chini bila kibali cha Baba yenu.Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.

30Lakini kwa upande wenu, hata nywele za vichwa vyenu zimehesabiwa zote.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31Kwa hiyo msiogope; ninyi mu wa thamani kuliko shomoro wengi.So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

32“Kila mtu anayekiri hadharani kwamba yeye ni wangu, mimi pia nitamkiri mbele ya Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven.

33Lakini yeyote atakayenikana hadharani, nami nitamkana mbele ya Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.

34“Msidhani kwamba nimekuja kuleta amani duniani. Sikuja kuleta amani bali upanga.Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

35Maana nimekuja kuleta mafarakano kati ya mtu na baba yake, kati ya binti na mama yake, kati ya mkwe na mkwe wake.For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

36Na maadui wa mtu ni watu wa nyumbani mwake.A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

37“Ampendaye baba au mama yake kuliko anipendavyo mimi, hanistahili. Ampendaye mwana au binti kuliko mimi, hanistahili.Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;

38Mtu asiyechukua msalaba wake na kunifuata, hanistahili.and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.

39Anayeyashikilia maisha yake, atayapoteza; lakini anayeyapoteza maisha yake kwa ajili yangu, atayapata.Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

40“Anayewakaribisha ninyi, ananikaribisha mimi; na anayenikaribisha mimi, anamkaribisha yule aliyenituma.He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me.

41Anayemkaribisha nabii kwa sababu ni nabii, atapokea tuzo la nabii. Anayemkaribisha mtu mwema kwa sababu ni mtu mwema, atapokea tuzo la mtu mwema.Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.

42Kweli nawaambieni, yeyote atakayempa mmojawapo wa wadogo hawa kikombe cha maji baridi kwa sababu ni mfuasi wangu, hatakosa kamwe kupata tuzo lake.”And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.”
