Luka 7
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
SBL Greek New Testament
1Baada ya kusema yale aliyotaka watu wasikie, Yesu alikwenda Kafarnaumu.
1⸀Ἐπειδὴ ἐπλήρωσεν πάντα τὰ ῥήματα αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰς ἀκοὰς τοῦ λαοῦ, εἰσῆλθεν εἰς Καφαρναούμ.
2Huko kulikuwa na jemadari mmoja Mroma ambaye alikuwa na mtumishi wake aliyempenda sana. Huyu mtumishi alikuwa mgonjwa karibu kufa.
2Ἑκατοντάρχου δέ τινος δοῦλος κακῶς ἔχων ἤμελλεν τελευτᾶν, ὃς ἦν αὐτῷ ἔντιμος.
3Yule jemadari aliposikia habari za Yesu, aliwatuma wazee fulani Wayahudi waende kumwomba aje amponye mtumishi wake.
3ἀκούσας δὲ περὶ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτὸν πρεσβυτέρους τῶν Ἰουδαίων, ἐρωτῶν αὐτὸν ὅπως ἐλθὼν διασώσῃ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ.
4Walipofika kwa Yesu, walimsihi sana, wakasema: “Huyu anastahili afanyiwe jambo hilo,
4οἱ δὲ παραγενόμενοι πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν σπουδαίως λέγοντες ὅτι Ἄξιός ἐστιν ᾧ ⸀παρέξῃ τοῦτο,
5maana analipenda taifa letu, na ndiye aliyetujengea lile sunagogi.”
5ἀγαπᾷ γὰρ τὸ ἔθνος ἡμῶν καὶ τὴν συναγωγὴν αὐτὸς ᾠκοδόμησεν ἡμῖν.
6Basi, Yesu akaenda pamoja nao. Alipokuwa karibu kufika nyumbani kwa yule jemadari Mroma, yule jemadari aliwatuma marafiki zake wamwambie Yesu: “Bwana, usijisumbue zaidi, maana mimi sistahili uingie nyumbani mwangu.
6ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἐπορεύετο σὺν αὐτοῖς. ἤδη δὲ αὐτοῦ οὐ μακρὰν ἀπέχοντος ἀπὸ τῆς οἰκίας ἔπεμψεν ⸂φίλους ὁ ἑκατοντάρχης⸃ λέγων αὐτῷ· Κύριε, μὴ σκύλλου, οὐ γὰρ ⸂ἱκανός εἰμι⸃ ἵνα ὑπὸ τὴν στέγην μου εἰσέλθῃς·
7Ndio maana sikujiona nastahili hata kuja kwako; amuru tu, na mtumishi wangu atapona.
7διὸ οὐδὲ ἐμαυτὸν ἠξίωσα πρὸς σὲ ἐλθεῖν· ἀλλὰ εἰπὲ λόγῳ, καὶ ⸀ἰαθήτω ὁ παῖς μου·
8Mimi pia ni mtu niliye chini ya mamlaka, na ninao askari chini yangu. Namwambia mmoja, Nenda!, naye huenda; namwambia mwingine, Njoo! naye huja; na nikimwambia mtumishi wangu, Fanya hiki!, hufanya.”
8καὶ γὰρ ἐγὼ ἄνθρωπός εἰμι ὑπὸ ἐξουσίαν τασσόμενος, ἔχων ὑπʼ ἐμαυτὸν στρατιώτας, καὶ λέγω τούτῳ· Πορεύθητι, καὶ πορεύεται, καὶ ἄλλῳ· Ἔρχου, καὶ ἔρχεται, καὶ τῷ δούλῳ μου· Ποίησον τοῦτο, καὶ ποιεῖ.
9Yesu aliposikia hayo, alishangaa; halafu akauelekea ule umati wa watu uliokuwa unamfuata, akasema, “Sijaona imani kubwa namna hii hata katika Israeli.”
9ἀκούσας δὲ ταῦτα ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐθαύμασεν αὐτόν, καὶ στραφεὶς τῷ ἀκολουθοῦντι αὐτῷ ὄχλῳ εἶπεν· Λέγω ὑμῖν, ⸀οὐδὲ ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ τοσαύτην πίστιν εὗρον.
10Wale watu walipowasili nyumbani walimkuta yule mtumishi hajambo kabisa.
10καὶ ὑποστρέψαντες ⸂εἰς τὸν οἶκον οἱ πεμφθέντες⸃ εὗρον ⸀τὸν δοῦλον ὑγιαίνοντα.
11Baadaye kidogo Yesu alikwenda katika mji mmoja uitwao Naini, na wafuasi wake pamoja na kundi kubwa la watu waliandamana naye.
11Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἑξῆς ⸀ἐπορεύθη εἰς πόλιν καλουμένην Ναΐν, καὶ συνεπορεύοντο αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ ⸀αὐτοῦ καὶ ὄχλος πολύς.
12Basi, alipokuwa anakaribia lango la mji, walitokea watu wamebeba maiti ya kijana mmoja, mtoto wa pekee wa mama mjane. Watu wengi wa mji ule walikuwa pamoja na huyo mama.
12ὡς δὲ ἤγγισεν τῇ πύλῃ τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐξεκομίζετο τεθνηκὼς ⸂μονογενὴς υἱὸς⸃ τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτὴ ⸀ἦν χήρα, καὶ ὄχλος τῆς πόλεως ἱκανὸς ⸁ἦν σὺν αὐτῇ.
13Bwana alipomwona mama huyo, alimwonea huruma, akamwambia, “Usilie.”
13καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὴν ὁ κύριος ἐσπλαγχνίσθη ἐπʼ αὐτῇ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· Μὴ κλαῖε.
14Kisha akaenda, akaligusa lile jeneza, na wale waliokuwa wanalichukua wakasimama. Halafu akasema, “Kijana! Nakuamuru, amka!”
14καὶ προσελθὼν ἥψατο τῆς σοροῦ, οἱ δὲ βαστάζοντες ἔστησαν, καὶ εἶπεν· Νεανίσκε, σοὶ λέγω, ἐγέρθητι.
15Yule aliyekufa akaketi, akaanza kuongea. Na Yesu akamkabidhi kwa mama yake.
15καὶ ἀνεκάθισεν ὁ νεκρὸς καὶ ἤρξατο λαλεῖν, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ.
16Watu wote walishikwa na hofu, wakawa wanamtukuza Mungu wakisema: “Nabii mkuu ametokea kati yetu. Mungu amekuja kuwakomboa watu wake.”
16ἔλαβεν δὲ φόβος πάντας, καὶ ἐδόξαζον τὸν θεὸν λέγοντες ὅτι Προφήτης μέγας ⸀ἠγέρθη ἐν ἡμῖν, καὶ ὅτι Ἐπεσκέψατο ὁ θεὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ.
17Habari hizo zikaenea kote katika Uyahudi na katika nchi za jirani.
17καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ λόγος οὗτος ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ περὶ αὐτοῦ ⸀καὶ πάσῃ τῇ περιχώρῳ.
18Wanafunzi wa Yohane walimpa habari Yohane juu ya mambo hayo yote. Naye Yohane, baada ya kuwaita wawili kati ya wanafunzi wake,
18Καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν Ἰωάννῃ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ περὶ πάντων τούτων. καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος δύο τινὰς τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ ὁ Ἰωάννης
19aliwatuma kwa Bwana wamwulize: “Wewe ndiye yule ajaye, au tumtazamie mwingine?”
19ἔπεμψεν πρὸς τὸν ⸀κύριον λέγων· Σὺ εἶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἢ ⸀ἄλλον προσδοκῶμεν;
20Wale wanafunzi walipomfikia Yesu wakamwambia, “Yohane Mbatizaji ametutuma kwako tukuulize: Wewe ndiye yule ajaye, au tumtazamie mwingine?”
20παραγενόμενοι δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνδρες εἶπαν· Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτιστὴς ⸀ἀπέστειλεν ἡμᾶς πρὸς σὲ λέγων· Σὺ εἶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἢ ἄλλον προσδοκῶμεν;
21Wakati huohuo, Yesu alikuwa anawaponya watu wengi waliokuwa wanateseka kwa magonjwa na waliopagawa na pepo wabaya, akawawezesha vipofu wengi kuona tena.
21ἐν ⸀ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἐθεράπευσεν πολλοὺς ἀπὸ νόσων καὶ μαστίγων καὶ πνευμάτων πονηρῶν, καὶ τυφλοῖς πολλοῖς ⸀ἐχαρίσατο βλέπειν.
22Basi, Yesu akawajibu, “Nendeni mkamwambie Yohane yale mliyojionea na kuyasikia: vipofu wanaona, viwete wanatembea, wenye ukoma wanatakaswa, viziwi wanasikia, wafu wanafufuliwa, na maskini wanahubiriwa Habari njema.
22καὶ ⸀ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Πορευθέντες ἀπαγγείλατε Ἰωάννῃ ἃ εἴδετε καὶ ἠκούσατε· ⸀τυφλοὶ ἀναβλέπουσιν, χωλοὶ περιπατοῦσιν, λεπροὶ καθαρίζονται, ⸀κωφοὶ ἀκούουσιν, νεκροὶ ἐγείρονται, πτωχοὶ εὐαγγελίζονται·
23Heri mtu yule ambaye hana mashaka nami!”
23καὶ μακάριός ἐστιν ὃς ἐὰν μὴ σκανδαλισθῇ ἐν ἐμοί.
24Hapo wajumbe wa Yohane walipokwisha kwenda zao, Yesu alianza kuyaambia makundi ya watu juu ya Yohane: “Mlikwenda kule jangwani, hivi mlitaka kuona kitu gani? Mlitaka kuona unyasi unaotikiswa na upepo?
24Ἀπελθόντων δὲ τῶν ἀγγέλων Ἰωάννου ἤρξατο λέγειν ⸂πρὸς τοὺς ὄχλους⸃ περὶ Ἰωάννου· Τί ⸀ἐξήλθατε εἰς τὴν ἔρημον θεάσασθαι; κάλαμον ὑπὸ ἀνέμου σαλευόμενον;
25Basi, mlikwenda kuona nini? Mlikwenda kumwona mtu aliyevalia mavazi maridadi? La hasha! Wanaovaa mavazi maridadi na kuishi maisha ya anasa, hukaa katika majumba ya wafalme!
25ἀλλὰ τί ⸀ἐξήλθατε ἰδεῖν; ἄνθρωπον ἐν μαλακοῖς ἱματίοις ἠμφιεσμένον; ἰδοὺ οἱ ἐν ἱματισμῷ ἐνδόξῳ καὶ τρυφῇ ὑπάρχοντες ἐν τοῖς βασιλείοις εἰσίν.
26Basi, niambieni, mlikwenda kuona nini? Mlikwenda kumwona nabii? Naam, hakika ni zaidi ya nabii.
26ἀλλὰ τί ⸀ἐξήλθατε ἰδεῖν; προφήτην; ναί, λέγω ὑμῖν, καὶ περισσότερον προφήτου.
27Huyu Yohane ndiye anayesemwa katika Maandiko Matakatifu: Hapa ni mtumishi wangu, asema Bwana; ninamtuma akutangulie, akutayarishie njia.”
27οὗτός ἐστιν περὶ οὗ γέγραπται· ⸀Ἰδοὺ ἀποστέλλω τὸν ἄγγελόν μου πρὸ προσώπου σου, ὃς κατασκευάσει τὴν ὁδόν σου ἔμπροσθέν σου.
28Yesu akamalizia kwa kusema, “Nawaambieni, kati ya binadamu wote hakuna aliye mkubwa zaidi kuliko Yohane Mbatizaji. Hata hivyo, yule aliye mdogo kabisa katika ufalme wa Mungu ni mkubwa zaidi kuliko yeye.”
28⸀λέγω ὑμῖν, μείζων ἐν γεννητοῖς γυναικῶν ⸀Ἰωάννου οὐδείς ἐστιν· ὁ δὲ μικρότερος ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ θεοῦ μείζων αὐτοῦ ἐστιν.
29Waliposikia hayo watu wote na watoza ushuru waliusifu wema wa Mungu; hao ndio wale waliokuwa wameupokea ubatizo wa Yohane.
29(καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἀκούσας καὶ οἱ τελῶναι ἐδικαίωσαν τὸν θεόν, βαπτισθέντες τὸ βάπτισμα Ἰωάννου·
30Lakini Mafarisayo na walimu wa Sheria walikataa mpango wa Mungu uliowahusu wakakataa kubatizwa na Yohane.
30οἱ δὲ Φαρισαῖοι καὶ οἱ νομικοὶ τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ θεοῦ ἠθέτησαν εἰς ἑαυτούς, μὴ βαπτισθέντες ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ.)
31Yesu akaendelea kusema, “Basi, nitawafananisha watu wa kizazi hiki na kitu gani? Ni watu wa namna gani?
31Τίνι οὖν ὁμοιώσω τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης, καὶ τίνι εἰσὶν ὅμοιοι;
32Ni kama vijana waliokuwa wamekaa sokoni na kuambiana, kikundi kimoja na kingine: Tumewapigieni ngoma, lakini hamkucheza! Tumeomboleza, lakini hamkulia!
32ὅμοιοί εἰσιν παιδίοις τοῖς ἐν ἀγορᾷ καθημένοις καὶ προσφωνοῦσιν ἀλλήλοις, ⸂ἃ λέγει⸃· Ηὐλήσαμεν ὑμῖν καὶ οὐκ ὠρχήσασθε· ⸀ἐθρηνήσαμεν καὶ οὐκ ἐκλαύσατε·
33Kwa maana Yohane alikuja, yeye alifunga na hakunywa divai, nanyi mkasema: Amepagawa na pepo!
33ἐλήλυθεν γὰρ Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτιστὴς ⸀μὴ ⸂ἐσθίων ἄρτον μήτε πίνων οἶνον⸃, καὶ λέγετε· Δαιμόνιον ἔχει·
34Akaja Mwana wa Mtu; anakula na kunywa, mkasema: Mwangalieni mlafi huyu na mlevi; rafiki ya watoza ushuru na wenye dhambi!
34ἐλήλυθεν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐσθίων καὶ πίνων, καὶ λέγετε· Ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος φάγος καὶ οἰνοπότης, φίλος τελωνῶν καὶ ἁμαρτωλῶν.
35Hata hivyo, hekima ya Mungu imethibitishwa kuwa njema na wote wale wanaoikubali.”
35καὶ ἐδικαιώθη ἡ σοφία ἀπὸ ⸂πάντων τῶν τέκνων αὐτῆς⸃.
36Mfarisayo mmoja alimwalika Yesu kula chakula nyumbani kwake. Akaingia nyumbani mwa huyo Mfarisayo, akakaa kula chakula.
36Ἠρώτα δέ τις αὐτὸν τῶν Φαρισαίων ἵνα φάγῃ μετʼ αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἰσελθὼν εἰς ⸂τὸν οἶκον⸃ τοῦ Φαρισαίου ⸀κατεκλίθη.
37Basi, katika mji ule kulikuwa na mama mmoja aliyekuwa anaishi maisha mabaya. Alipopata habari kwamba Yesu yuko nyumbani kwa huyo Mfarisayo, alichukua chupa ya alabasta yenye marashi.
37καὶ ἰδοὺ γυνὴ ⸂ἥτις ἦν ἐν τῇ πόλει⸃ ἁμαρτωλός, ⸀καὶ ἐπιγνοῦσα ὅτι ⸀κατάκειται ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ τοῦ Φαρισαίου, κομίσασα ἀλάβαστρον μύρου
38Akaja, akasimama karibu na miguu yake Yesu, akilia, na machozi yake yakamdondokea Yesu miguuni. Huyo mwanamke akaipangusa miguu ya Yesu kwa nywele zake. Kisha akaibusu na kuipaka yale marashi.
38καὶ στᾶσα ⸂ὀπίσω παρὰ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ⸃ κλαίουσα, ⸂τοῖς δάκρυσιν ἤρξατο βρέχειν τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ⸃ καὶ ταῖς θριξὶν τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτῆς ἐξέμασσεν, καὶ κατεφίλει τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἤλειφεν τῷ μύρῳ.
39Yule Mfarisayo aliyemwalika Yesu alipoona hayo, akawaza moyoni mwake, “Kama mtu huyu angekuwa kweli nabii angejua huyu mwanamke ni wa namna gani, ya kwamba ni mwenye dhambi.”
39ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Φαρισαῖος ὁ καλέσας αὐτὸν εἶπεν ἐν ἑαυτῷ λέγων· Οὗτος εἰ ⸀ἦν προφήτης, ἐγίνωσκεν ἂν τίς καὶ ποταπὴ ἡ γυνὴ ἥτις ἅπτεται αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἁμαρτωλός ἐστιν.
40Yesu akamwambia huyo Mfarisayo, “Simoni, ninacho kitu cha kukwambia.” Naye Simoni akamwambia, “Ndio Mwalimu, sema.” Yesu akasema,
40καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν· Σίμων, ἔχω σοί τι εἰπεῖν. ὁ δέ· ⸂Διδάσκαλε, εἰπέ, φησίν⸃.
41“Watu wawili walikuwa wamemkopa mtu fedha: mmoja alikuwa amekopa dinari mia tano, na mwingine hamsini.
41δύο χρεοφειλέται ἦσαν δανιστῇ τινι· ὁ εἷς ὤφειλεν δηνάρια πεντακόσια, ὁ δὲ ἕτερος πεντήκοντα.
42Waliposhindwa kulipa madeni yao, huyo mtu aliwasamehe wote wawili. Sasa ni yupi kati ya hao wawili atampenda zaidi huyo bwana?”
42μὴ ⸀ἐχόντων αὐτῶν ἀποδοῦναι ἀμφοτέροις ἐχαρίσατο. τίς οὖν ⸀αὐτῶν πλεῖον ⸂ἀγαπήσει αὐτόν⸃;
43Simoni akamjibu, “Ni dhahiri kwamba yule aliyesamehewa deni kubwa zaidi atampenda zaidi yule bwana.” Yesu akamwambia, “Sawa.”
43⸀ἀποκριθεὶς Σίμων εἶπεν· Ὑπολαμβάνω ὅτι ᾧ τὸ πλεῖον ἐχαρίσατο. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Ὀρθῶς ἔκρινας.
44Halafu akamgeukia yule mwanamke na kumwambia Simoni, “Unamwona huyu mwanamke, sivyo? Basi, mimi nilipoingia hapa nyumbani kwako hukunipa maji ya kunawa miguu yangu; lakini mwanamke huyu ameniosha miguu yangu kwa machozi yake na kunipangusa kwa nywele zake.
44καὶ στραφεὶς πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα τῷ Σίμωνι ἔφη· Βλέπεις ταύτην τὴν γυναῖκα; εἰσῆλθόν σου εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν, ὕδωρ ⸀μοι ἐπὶ ⸀πόδας οὐκ ἔδωκας· αὕτη δὲ τοῖς δάκρυσιν ἔβρεξέν μου τοὺς πόδας καὶ ταῖς ⸀θριξὶν αὐτῆς ἐξέμαξεν.
45Wewe hukunisalimu kwa kunibusu, lakini huyu mwanamke tangu nilipoingia hapa amekuwa akiibusu miguu yangu.
45φίλημά μοι οὐκ ἔδωκας· αὕτη δὲ ἀφʼ ἧς εἰσῆλθον οὐ διέλιπεν καταφιλοῦσά μου τοὺς πόδας.
46Wewe hukunionyesha ukarimu wako kwa kunipaka mafuta kichwani, lakini huyu mwanamke amefanya hivyo kwa kunipaka mafuta miguu yangu.
46ἐλαίῳ τὴν κεφαλήν μου οὐκ ἤλειψας· αὕτη δὲ μύρῳ ἤλειψεν ⸂τοὺς πόδας μου⸃.
47Kwa hiyo nakwambia amesamehewa dhambi zake nyingi kwa kuwa ameonyesha upendo mkubwa. Mwenye kusamehe kidogo, hupenda kidogo.”
47οὗ χάριν, λέγω σοι, ἀφέωνται αἱ ἁμαρτίαι αὐτῆς αἱ πολλαί, ὅτι ἠγάπησεν πολύ· ᾧ δὲ ὀλίγον ἀφίεται, ὀλίγον ἀγαπᾷ.
48Basi, Yesu akamwambia yule mwanamke, “Umesamehewa dhambi zako.”
48εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῇ· Ἀφέωνταί σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι.
49Na hapo wale waliokuwa pamoja naye mezani wakaulizana, “Ni mtu wa namna gani huyu awezaye kusamehe dhambi?”
49καὶ ἤρξαντο οἱ συνανακείμενοι λέγειν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς· Τίς οὗτός ἐστιν ὃς καὶ ἁμαρτίας ἀφίησιν;
50Naye Yesu akamwambia yule mwanamke, “Imani yako imekuokoa; nenda kwa amani.”
50εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα· Ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέν σε· πορεύου εἰς εἰρήνην.
