1
Akaingia tena katika sinagogi; na palikuwako huko mtu mwenye mkono uliopooza;
Once again Jesus entered the synagogue, and a man with a withered hand was there.
2
wakamvizia ili kuona kama atamponya siku ya sabato; wapate kumshitaki.
In order to accuse Jesus, they were watching to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.
3
Akamwambia yule mtu mwenye mkono uliopooza, Simama katikati.
Then Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, “Stand up among us.”
4
Akawauliza, Ni halali siku ya sabato kutenda mema, au kutenda mabaya? Kuponya roho au kuiua? Wakanyamaza.
And He asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” But they were silent.
5
Akawakazia macho pande zote kwa hasira, akiona huzuni kwa ajili ya ugumu wa mioyo yao, akamwambia yule mtu, Nyosha mkono wako. Naye akaunyosha; mkono wake ukawa mzima tena.
Jesus looked around at them with anger and sorrow at their hardness of heart. Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored.
6
Mara wakatoka wale Mafarisayo, wakawa wakifanya shauri juu yake pamoja na Maherodi, jinsi ya kumwangamiza.
At this, the Pharisees went out and began plotting with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.
7
Naye Yesu akajitenga, yeye na wanafunzi wake, akaenda baharini. Mkutano mkuu ukamfuata, kutoka Galilaya, na Uyahudi,
So Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea, accompanied by a large crowd from Galilee, Judea,
8
na Yerusalemu, na Idumaya, na ng'ambo ya Yordani, na pande za Tiro na Sidoni, mkutano mkuu, waliposikia habari za mambo yote aliyokuwa akiyatenda, wakamwendea.
Jerusalem, Idumea, the region beyond the Jordan, and the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon. The large crowd came to Him when they heard what great things He was doing.
9
Akawaambia wanafunzi wake ya kwamba chombo kidogo kikae karibu naye, kwa sababu ya mkutano, wasije wakamsonga.
Jesus asked His disciples to have a boat ready for Him so that the crowd would not crush Him.
10
Maana aliponya wengi, hata wote waliokuwa na misiba wakamrukia wapate kumgusa.
For He had healed so many that all who had diseases were pressing forward to touch Him.
11
Na pepo wachafu, kila walipomwona, walianguka mbele yake, wakalia wakisema, Wewe ndiwe Mwana wa Mungu.
And when the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!”
12
Akawakataza sana, wasimdhihirishe.
But He warned them sternly not to make Him known.
13
Akapanda mlimani, akawaita aliowataka mwenyewe; wakamwendea.
Then Jesus went up on the mountain and called for those He wanted, and they came to Him.
14
Akaweka watu kumi na wawili, wapate kuwa pamoja naye, na kwamba awatume kuhubiri,
He appointed twelve of them, whom He designated as apostles, to accompany Him, to be sent out to preach,
15
tena wawe na amri ya kutoa pepo.
and to have authority to drive out demons.
16
Akawaweka wale Thenashara; na Simoni akampa jina la Petro;
These are the twelve He appointed: Simon (whom He named Peter),
17
na Yakobo, mwana wa Zebedayo, na Yohana nduguye Yakobo, akawapa jina la Boanerge, maana yake, wana wa ngurumo;
James son of Zebedee and his brother John (whom He named Boanerges, meaning “Sons of Thunder”),
18
na Andrea, na Filipo, na Bartholomayo, na Mathayo, na Tomaso, na Yakobo wa Alfayo, na Thadayo, na Simoni Mkananayo,
Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot,
19
na Yuda Iskariote, ndiye aliyemsaliti. Kisha akaingia nyumbani.
and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.
20
Mkutano wakakusanyika tena, hata wao wenyewe wasiweze hata kula mkate.
Then Jesus went home, and once again a crowd gathered, so that He and His disciples could not even eat.
21
Jamaa zake walipopata habari wakatoka kwenda kumkamata; maana walisema, Amerukwa na akili.
When His family heard about this, they went out to take custody of Him, saying, “He is out of His mind.”
22
Nao waandishi walioshuka kutoka Yerusalemu wakasema, Ana Beelzebuli, na, Kwa mkuu wa pepo huwatoa pepo.
And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and, “By the prince of the demons He drives out demons.”
23
Akawaita, akawaambia kwa mifano, Awezaje Shetani kumtoa Shetani?
So Jesus called them together and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan?
24
Na ufalme ukifitinika juu ya nafsi yake, ufalme huo hauwezi kusimama;
If a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot stand.
25
na nyumba ikifitinika juu ya nafsi yake, nyumba hiyo haiwezi kusimama.
If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand.
26
Na kama Shetani ameondoka juu ya nafsi yake, akafitinika, hawezi kusimama, bali huwa na kikomo.
And if Satan is divided and rises against himself, he cannot stand; his end has come.
27
Hawezi mtu kuingia ndani ya nyumba ya mtu mwenye nguvu, na kuviteka vitu vyake, asipomfunga kwanza yule mwenye nguvu; ndipo atakapoiteka nyumba yake.
Indeed, no one can enter a strong man’s house to steal his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder his house.
28
Amin, nawaambia, Dhambi zote watasamehewa wanadamu, na kufuru zao watakazokufuru zote;
Truly I tell you, the sons of men will be forgiven all sins and blasphemies, as many as they utter.
29
bali mtu atakayemkufuru Roho Mtakatifu hana msamaha hata milele; ila atakuwa ana dhambi ya milele,
But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of eternal sin.”
30
kwa vile walivyosema, Ana pepo mchafu.
Jesus made this statement because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”
31
Wakaja mamaye na nduguze; wakasimama nje, wakatuma mtu kumwita.
Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came and stood outside. They sent someone in to summon Him,
32
Na makutano walikuwa wameketi, wakimzunguka, wakamwambia, Tazama, mama yako na ndugu zako wako nje, wanakutafuta.
and a crowd was sitting around Him. “Look,” He was told, “Your mother and brothers are outside, asking for You.”
33
Akawajibu, akisema, Mama yangu na ndugu zangu ni akina nani?
But Jesus replied, “Who are My mother and My brothers?”
34
Akawatazama wale walioketi wakimzunguka pande zote, akasema, Tazama, mama yangu na ndugu zangu!
Looking at those seated in a circle around Him, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!
35
Kwa maana mtu ye yote atakayeyafanya mapenzi ya Mungu, huyo ndiye ndugu yangu, na umbu langu, na mama yangu.
For whoever does the will of God is My brother and sister and mother.”
