Luka 13
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Wakati huo watu fulani walikuja, wakamweleza Yesu juu ya watu wa Galilaya ambao Pilato alikuwa amewaua wakati walipokuwa wanachinja wanyama wao wa tambiko.
1And there were present, at that very time, some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2Naye Yesu akawaambia, “Mnadhani Wagalilaya hao walikuwa wahalifu zaidi kuliko Wagalilaya wengine, ati kwa sababu wameteseka hivyo?
2And he answering, said to them: Think you that these Galileans were sinners above all the men of Galilee, because they suffered such things?
3Nawaambieni hakika sivyo; lakini nanyi, hali kadhalika, msipotubu, mtaangamia kama wao.
3No, I say to you: but unless you shall do penance, you shall all likewise perish.
4Au wale kumi na wanane walioangukiwa na mnara kule Siloamu wakafa; mnadhani wao walikuwa wakosefu zaidi kuliko wengine wote walioishi Yerusalemu?
4Or those eighteen upon whom the tower fell in Siloe, and slew them: think you, that they also were debtors above all the men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5Nawaambieni sivyo; lakini nanyi msipotubu, mtaangamia kama wao.”
5No, I say to you; but except you do penance, you shall all likewise perish.
6Kisha, Yesu akawaambia mfano huu: “Mtu mmoja alikuwa na mtini katika shamba lake. Mtu huyu akaenda akitaka kuchuma matunda yake, lakini akaukuta haujazaa hata tunda moja.
6He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.
7Basi, akamwambia mfanyakazi wake: Angalia! Kwa miaka mitatu nimekuwa nikija kuchuma matunda ya mtini huu, nami nisiambulie kitu. Ukate! Kwa nini uitumie ardhi bure?
7And he said to the dresser of the vineyard: Behold, for these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it done therefore: why cumbereth it the ground?
8Lakini naye akamjibu: Bwana, tuuache tena mwaka huu; nitauzungushia mtaro na kuutilia mbolea.
8But he answering, said to him: Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig about it, and dung it.
9Kama ukizaa matunda mwaka ujao, vema; la sivyo, basi utaweza kuukata.”
9And if happily it bear fruit: but if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
10Yesu alikuwa akifundisha katika sunagogi moja siku ya Sabato.
10And he was teaching in their synagogue on their sabbath.
11Na hapo palikuwa na mwanamke mmoja aliyekuwa mgonjwa kwa miaka kumi na minane kutokana na pepo aliyekuwa amempagaa. Kwa sababu hiyo, mwili wake ulikuwa umepindika vibaya hata asiweze kusimama wima.
11And behold there was a woman, who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years: and she was bowed together, neither could she look upwards at all.
12Yesu alipomwona, alimwita, akamwambia, “Mama, umeponywa ugonjwa wako.”
12Whom when Jesus saw, he called her unto him, and said to her: Woman, thou art delivered from thy infirmity.
13Akamwekea mikono, na mara mwili wake ukawa wima tena, akawa anamtukuza Mungu.
13And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14Lakini mkuu wa sunagogi alikasirika kwa sababu Yesu alikuwa amemponya siku ya Sabato. Hivyo akawaambia wale watu walikusanyika pale, “Mnazo siku sita za kufanya kazi. Basi, fikeni siku hizo mkaponywe magonjwa yenu; lakini msije siku ya Sabato.”
14And the ruler of the synagogue (being angry that Jesus had healed on the sabbath) answering, said to the multitude: Six days there are wherein you ought to work. In them therefore come, and be healed; and not on the sabbath day.
15Hapo Bwana akamjibu, “Enyi wanafiki! Nani kati yenu hangemfungua ng'ombe au punda wake kutoka zizini ampeleke kunywa maji, hata kama siku hiyo ni ya Sabato?
15And the Lord answering him, said: Ye hypocrites, doth not every one of you, on the sabbath day, loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead them to water?
16Sasa, hapa yupo binti wa Abrahamu ambaye Shetani alimfanya kilema kwa muda wa miaka kumi na minane. Je, haikuwa vizuri kumfungulia vifungo vyake siku ya Sabato?”
16And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
17Alipokwisha sema hayo, wapinzani wake waliona aibu lakini watu wengine wote wakajaa furaha kwa sababu ya mambo yote aliyotenda.
17And when he said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the things that were gloriously done by him.
18Yesu akauliza: “Ufalme wa Mungu unafanana na nini? Nitaulinganisha na nini?
18He said therefore: To what is the kingdom of God like, and whereunto shall I resemble it?
19NI kama mbegu ya haradali aliyotwaa mtu mmoja na kuipanda shambani mwake; ikaota hata ikawa mti. Ndege wa angani wakajenga viota vyao katika matawi yake.”
19It is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden, and it grew and became a great tree, and the birds of the air lodged in the branches thereof.
20Tena akauliza: “Nitaulinganisha Ufalme wa Mungu na nini?
20And again he said: Whereunto shall I esteem the kingdom of God to be like?
21Ni kama chachu aliyoitwaa mama mmoja na kuichanganya pamoja na unga debe moja kisha unga wote ukaumuka wote.”
21It is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
22Yesu alindelea na safari yake kwenda Yerusalemu huku akipitia mijini na vijijini, akihubiri.
22And he went through the cities and towns teaching, and making his journey to Jerusalem.
23Mtu mmoja akamwuliza, “Je, Mwalimu, watu watakaookoka ni wachache?”
23And a certain man said to him: Lord, are they few that are saved? But he said to them:
24Yesu akawaambia, “Jitahidini kuingia kwa kupitia mlango mwembamba; maana nawaambieni, wengi watajaribu kuingia lakini hawataweza.
24Strive to enter by the narrow gate; for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter, and shall not be able.
25“Wakati utakuja ambapo mwenye nyumba atainuka na kufunga mlango. Ninyi mtasimama nje na kuanza kupiga hodi mkisema: Bwana, tufungulie mlango. Lakini yeye atawajibu: Sijui mmetoka wapi.
25But when the master of the house shall be gone in, and shall shut the door, you shall begin to stand without, and knock at the door, saying: Lord, open to us. And he answering, shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are.
26Nanyi mtaanza kumwambia: Sisi ndio wale tuliokula na kunywa pamoja nawe; na wewe ulifundisha katika vijiji vyetu.
26Then you shall begin to say: We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27Lakini yeye atasema: Sijui ninyi mmetoka wapi; ondokeni mbele yangu, enyi nyote watenda maovu.
27And he shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28Ndipo mtakuwa na kulia na kusaga meno, wakati mtakapowaona Abrahamu, Isaka na Yakobo, na manabii wote wapo katika Ufalme wa Mungu, lakini ninyi wenyewe mmetupwa nje!
28There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
29Watu watakuja kutoka mashariki na magharibi, kutoka kaskazini na kusini, watakuja na kukaa kwenye karamu katika Ufalme wa Mungu.
29And there shall come from the east and the west, and the north and the south; and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
30Naam, wale walio wa mwisho watakuwa wa kwanza; na wale walio wa kwanza watakuwa wa mwisho.”
30And behold, they are last that shall be first; and they are first that shall be last.
31Wakati huohuo, Mafarisayo na watu wengine walimwendea Yesu wakamwambia, “Ondoka hapa uende mahali pengine, kwa maana Herode anataka kukuua.”
31The same day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill thee.
32Yesu akawajibu, “Nendeni mkamwambie huyo mbweha hivi: Leo na kesho ninafukuza pepo na kuponya wagonjwa, na siku ya tatu nitakamilisha kazi yangu.
32And he said to them: Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and do cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I am consummated.
33Hata hivyo, kwa leo, kesho na kesho kutwa, ni lazima niendelee na safari yangu, kwa sababu si sawa nabii auawe nje ya Yerusalemu.
33Nevertheless I must walk today and tomorrow, and the day following, because it cannot be that a prophet perish, out of Jerusalem.
34“Yerusalemu! We Yerusalemu! Unawaua manabii na kuwapiga mawe wale waliotumwa kwako! Mara ngapi nimetaka kuwakusanya watoto wako pamoja kama kuku anavyokusanya vifaranga vyake chini ya mabawa yake, Lakini wewe umekataa.
34Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee, how often would I have gathered thy children as the bird doth her brood under her wings, and thou wouldest not?
35Haya, utaachiwa mwenyewe nyumba yako. Naam, hakika nawaambieni, hamtaniona mpaka wakati utakapofika mseme: Abarikiwe huyo ajaye kwa jina la Bwana.”
35Behold your house shall be left to you desolate. And I say to you, that you shall not see me till the time come, when you shall say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
