1Then came to him from Jerusalem scribes and Pharisees, saying:
1Kisha Mafarisayo na walimu wa Sheria wakafika kutoka Yerusalemu, wakamwendea Yesu, wakamwuliza,
2Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the ancients? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
2“Kwa nini wanafunzi wako hawajali mapokeo tuliyopokea kutoka kwa wazee wetu? Hawanawi mikono yao kama ipasavyo kabla ya kula!”
3But he answering, said to them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God for your tradition? For God said:
3Yesu akawajibu, “Kwa nini nanyi mnapendelea mapokeo yenu wenyewe na hamuijali Sheria ya Mungu?
4Honour thy father and mother: And: He that shall curse father or mother, let him die the death.
4Mungu amesema: Waheshimu baba yako na mama yako, na Anayemkashifu baba yake au mama yake, lazima auawe.
5But you say: Whosoever shall say to father or mother, The gift whatsoever proceedeth from me, shall profit thee.
5Lakini ninyi mwafundisha ati mtu akiwa na kitu ambacho angeweza kuwasaidia nacho baba au mama yake, lakini akasema: Kitu hiki nimemtolea Mungu,
6And he shall not honour his father or his mother: and you have made void the commandment of God for your tradition.
6basi, hapaswi tena kumheshimu baba yake! Ndivyo mnavyodharau neno la Mungu kwa kufuata mafundisho yenu wenyewe.
7Hypocrites, well hath Isaias prophesied of you, saying:
7Enyi wanafiki! Isaya alitabiri sawa kabisa juu yenu:
8This people honoureth me with their lips: but their heart is far from me.
8Watu hawa, asema Mungu, huniheshimu kwa maneno tu, lakini mioyoni mwao wako mbali nami.
9And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men.
9Kuniabudu kwao hakufai, maana mambo wanayofundisha ni maagizo ya kibinadamu tu.”
10And having called together the multitudes unto him, he said to them: Hear ye and understand.
10Yesu aliuita ule umati wa watu, akawaambia, “Sikilizeni na muelewe!
11Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man: but what cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
11Kitu kinachomtia mtu najisi si kile kiingiacho kinywani, bali kile kitokacho kinywani. Hicho ndicho kimtiacho mtu najisi.”
12Then came his disciples, and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard this word, were scandalized?
12Kisha wanafunzi wakamwendea, wakamwambia, “Je, unajua kwamba Mafarisayo walichukizwa waliposikia maneno yako?”
13But he answering them, said: Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
13Lakini yeye akawajibu, “Kila mmea ambao Baba yangu aliye mbinguni hakuupanda, utang'olewa.
14Let them alone: they are blind, and leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the pit.
14Waacheni wenyewe! Wao ni vipofu, viongozi wa vipofu; na kipofu akimwongoza kipofu, wote wawili hutumbukia shimoni.”
15And Peter answering, said to him: Expound to us this parable.
15Petro akadakia, “Tufafanulie huo mfano.”
16But he said: Are you also yet without understanding?
16Yesu akasema, “Hata nyinyi hamwelewi?
17Do you not understand, that whatsoever entereth into the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the privy?
17Je, hamwelewi kwamba kila kinachoingia kinywani huenda tumboni na baadaye hutupwa nje chooni?
18But the things which proceed out of the mouth, come forth from the heart, and those things defile a man.
18Lakini yale yatokayo kinywani hutoka moyoni, na hayo ndiyo yanayomtia mtu najisi.
19For from the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.
19Maana moyoni hutoka mawazo maovu yanayosababisha uuaji, uzinzi, uasherati, wizi, ushahidi wa uongo na kashfa.
20These are the things that defile a man. But to eat with unwashed hands doth not defile a man.
20Hayo ndiyo yanayomtia mtu najisi. Lakini kula chakula bila kunawa mikono hakumtii mtu najisi.”
21And Jesus went from thence, and retired into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
21Yesu aliondoka mahali hapo akaenda kukaa katika sehemu za Tiro na Sidoni.
22And behold a woman of Canaan who came out of those coasts, crying out, said to him: Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grieviously troubled by the devil.
22Basi, mama mmoja Mkaanani wa nchi hiyo alimjia, akapaaza sauti: “Mheshimiwa, Mwana wa Daudi, nionee huruma! Binti yangu anasumbuliwa na pepo.”
23Who answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away, for she crieth after us:
23Lakini Yesu hakumjibu neno. Basi, wanafunzi wake wakamwendea, wakamwambia, “Mwambie aende zake kwa maana anatufuatafuata akipiga kelele.”
24And he answering, said: I was not sent but to the sheep that are lost of the house of Israel.
24Yesu akajibu, “Sikutumwa ila kwa watu wa Israeli waliopotea kama kondoo.”
25But she came and adored him, saying: Lord, help me.
25Hapo huyo mama akaja, akapiga magoti mbele yake, akasema, “Mheshimiwa, nisaidie.”
26Who answering, said: It is not good to take the bread of the children, and to cast it to the dogs.
26Yesu akamjibu, “Si sawa kuchukua chakula cha watoto na kuwatupia mbwa.”
27But she said: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters.
27Huyo mama akajibu, “Ni kweli, Mheshimiwa; lakini hata mbwa hula makombo yanayoanguka kutoka meza ya bwana wao.”
28Then Jesus answering, said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it done to thee as thou wilt: and her daughter was cured from that hour.
28Hapo Yesu akamjibu, “Mama, imani yako ni kubwa; basi, ufanyiwe kama unavyotaka.” Yule binti yake akapona tangu saa hiyo wakati huohuo.
29And when Jesus had passed away from thence, he came nigh the sea of Galilee. And going up into a mountain, he sat there.
29Yesu alitoka hapo akaenda kando ya ziwa Galilaya, akapanda mlimani, akaketi.
30And there came to him great multitudes, having with them the dumb, the blind, the lame, the maimed, and many others: and they cast them down at his feet, and he healed them:
30Watu wengi sana wakamjia wakiwaleta vilema, vipofu, viwete, bubu na wengine wengi waliokuwa wagonjwa, wakawaweka mbele ya miguu yake, naye Yesu akawaponya.
31So that the multitudes marvelled seeing the dumb speak, the lame walk, and the blind see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
31Umati ule wa watu ulishangaa sana ulipoona bubu wakiongea, waliokuwa wamelemaa wamepona, viwete wakitembea na vipofu wakiona; wakamsifu Mungu wa Israeli.
32And Jesus called together his disciples, and said: I have compassion on the multitudes, because they continue with me now three days, and have not what to eat, and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
32Basi, Yesu aliwaita wanafunzi wake, akasema, “Nawaonea watu hawa huruma kwa sababu kwa siku tatu wamekuwa nami, wala hawana chakula. Sipendi kuwaacha waende bila kula wasije wakazimia njiani.”
33And the disciples say unto him: Whence then should we have so many loaves in the desert, as to fill so great a multitude?
33Wanafunzi wakamwambia, “Hapa tuko nyikani; tutapata wapi chakula cha kuwatosha watu wengi hivi?”
34And Jesus said to them: How many loaves have you? But they said: Seven, and a few little fishes.
34Yesu akawauliza, “Mnayo mikate mingapi?” Wakamjibu, “Saba na visamaki vichache.”
35And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground.
35Basi, Yesu akawaamuru watu wakae chini.
36And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, and giving thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the people.
36Akaitwaa ile mikate saba na vile visamaki, akamshukuru Mungu, akavimega, akawapa wanafunzi, nao wakawagawia watu.
37And they did all eat, and had their fill. And they took up seven baskets full, of what remained of the fragments.
37Wote wakala, wakashiba. Kisha wakakusanya makombo, wakajaza vikapu saba.
38And they that did eat, were four thousand men, beside children and women.
38Hao waliokula walikuwa wanaume elfu nne, bila kuhesabu wanawake na watoto.
39And having dismissed the multitude, he went up into a boat, and came into the coasts of Magedan.
39Basi, Yesu akawaaga watu, akapanda mashua, akaenda katika eneo la Magadani.
