¹And going on board the ship, he passed over and came to his own city.

¹Yesu alipanda mashua, akavuka ziwa na kufika katika mji wake.

²And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Be of good courage, child; thy sins are forgiven.

²Hapo watu walimletea mtu mmoja aliyepooza mwili, amelazwa juu ya kitanda. Yesu alipoona imani yao, akamwambia huyo mtu aliyepooza, "Jipe moyo mwanangu! Umesamehewa dhambi zako."

³And behold, certain of the scribes said to themselves, This [man] blasphemes.

³Baadhi ya walimu wa Sheria wakaanza kufikiri, "Mtu huyu anamkufuru Mungu!"

⁴And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, Why do *ye* think evil things in your hearts?

⁴Yesu aliyajua mawazo yao, akasema, "Kwa nini mnawaza mabaya mioyoni mwenu?

⁵For which is easier: to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise up and walk?

⁵Ni lipi lililo rahisi zaidi: kusema, Umesamehewa dhambi zako, au kusema, Simama, utembee?

⁶But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then he says to the paralytic,) Rise up, take up thy bed and go to thy house.

⁶Basi, nataka mjue kwamba Mwana wa Mtu anao uwezo wa kuwasamehe watu dhambi duniani." Hapo akamwambia huyo mtu aliyepooza, "Inuka, chukua kitanda chako, uende nyumbani kwako."

⁷And he rose up and went to his house.

⁷Huyo mtu aliyekuwa amepooza akainuka, akaenda nyumbani kwake.

⁸But the crowds seeing [it], were in fear, and glorified God who gave such power to men.

⁸Watu wote katika ule umati walipoona hayo, walishangaa na kuogopa; wakamtukuza Mungu aliyewapa binadamu uwezo wa namna hiyo.

⁹And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, called Matthew, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.

⁹Yesu aliondoka hapo, na alipokuwa anakwenda zake, alimwona mtu mmoja aitwaye Mathayo, ameketi katika ofisi ya ushuru. Basi, Yesu akamwambia, "Nifuate." Naye Mathayo akainuka, akamfuata.

¹⁰And it came to pass, as he lay at table in the house, that behold, many tax-gatherers and sinners came and lay at table with Jesus and his disciples.

¹⁰Yesu alipokuwa nyumbani ameketi kula chakula, watoza ushuru wengi na wahalifu walikuja wakaketi pamoja naye na wanafunzi wake.

¹¹And the Pharisees seeing [it], said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with tax-gatherers and sinners?

¹¹Mafarisayo walipoona hayo, wakawaambia wanafunzi wake, "Mbona mwalimu wenu anakula pamoja na watoza ushuru na wenye dhambi?"

¹²But [Jesus] hearing it, said, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.

¹²Yesu aliwasikia, akasema, "Watu wenye afya hawahitaji daktari; wanaomhitaji ni wale walio wagonjwa. Sikuja kuwaita watu wema, ila wenye dhambi.

¹³But go and learn what [that] is -- I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I have not come to call righteous [men] but sinners.

¹³Basi, kajifunzeni maana ya maneno haya: Nataka huruma, wala si dhabihu. Sikuja kuwaita watu wema, bali wenye dhambi."

¹⁴Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees often fast, but thy disciples fast not?

¹⁴Kisha wanafunzi wa Yohane mbatizaji walimwendea Yesu, wakamwuliza, "Sisi na Mafarisayo hufunga mara nyingi; mbona wanafunzi wako hawafungi?"

¹⁵And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn so long as the bridegroom is with them? But days will come when the bridegroom will have been taken away from them, and then they will fast.

¹⁵Yesu akawajibu, "Je, walioalikwa arusini wanaweza kuomboleza wakati bwana arusi yupo pamoja nao? La hasha! Lakini wakati utafika ambapo bwana arusi ataondolewa kati yao; wakati huo ndipo watakapofunga.

¹⁶But no one puts a patch of new cloth on an old garment, for its filling up takes from the garment and a worse rent takes place.

¹⁶"Hakuna mtu atiaye kiraka cha nguo mpya katika vazi kuukuu. Maana kiraka hicho kitararua hilo vazi kuukuu, na pale palipokuwa pameraruka pataongezeka.

¹⁷Nor do men put new wine into old skins, otherwise the skins burst and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.

¹⁷Wala hakuna mtu awekaye divai mpya katika viriba vikuukuu. Akifanya hivyo, viriba hupasuka na divai ikamwagika, navyo viriba vikaharibika. Ila divai mpya hutiwa katika viriba vipya, na vyote viwili, viriba na divai, vikahifadhiwa salama."

¹⁸As he spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler coming in did homage to him, saying, My daughter has by this died; but come and lay thy hand upon her and she shall live.

¹⁸Yesu alipokuwa akisema hayo, ofisa mmoja Myahudi alifika, akamwinamia na kusema, "Binti yangu amekufa sasa hivi. Lakini, tafadhali njoo umwekee mkono wako naye ataishi."

¹⁹And Jesus rose up and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.

¹⁹Yesu akaondoka pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akamfuata.

²⁰And behold, a woman, who had had a bloody flux [for] twelve years, came behind and touched the hem of his garment;

²⁰Mama mmoja, mgonjwa wa kutokwa damu kwa muda wa miaka kumi na miwili, alimfuata Yesu nyuma, akagusa pindo la vazi lake.

²¹for she said within herself, If I should only touch his garment I shall be healed.

²¹Alifanya hivyo kwani alifikiri moyoni: "Nikigusa tu vazi lake, nitapona."

²²But Jesus turning and seeing her, said, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.

²²Basi, Yesu akageuka akamwona, akamwambia, "Binti, jipe moyo! Imani yako imekuponya." Mama huyo akapona saa ileile.

²³And when Jesus was come to the house of the ruler, and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a tumult,

²³Kisha Yesu akaingia nyumbani kwa yule ofisa. Na alipowaona wapiga filimbi na umati wa watu wanaofanya matanga,

²⁴he said, Withdraw, for the damsel is not dead, but sleeps. And they derided him.

²⁴akasema, "Ondokeni hapa! Msichana huyu hakufa, amelala tu." Nao wakamcheka.

²⁵But when the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand; and the damsel rose up.

²⁵Basi, umati wa watu ulipoondolewa, Yesu aliingia ndani, akamshika huyo msichana mkono, naye akasimama.

²⁶And the fame of it went out into all that land.

²⁶Habari hiyo ikavuma sana katika nchi ile yote.

²⁷And as Jesus passed on thence, two blind [men] followed him, crying and saying, Have mercy on us, Son of David.

²⁷Yesu aliondoka hapo, na alipokuwa anakwenda, vipofu wawili walimfuata wakipiga kelele, "Mwana wa Daudi, utuhurumie!"

²⁸And when he was come to the house, the blind [men] came to him. And Jesus says to them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yea, Lord.

²⁸Yesu alipoingia nyumbani, vipofu hao wawili wakamwendea, naye akawauliza, "Je, mnaamini kwamba naweza kuwafanyia jambo hilo?" Nao wakamjibu, "Naam, Mheshimiwa."

²⁹Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it unto you.

²⁹Hapo Yesu akayagusa macho yao, akasema, "Na iwe kwenu kama mnavyoamini."

³⁰And their eyes were opened; and Jesus charged them sharply, saying, See, let no man know it.

³⁰Macho yao yakafunguliwa. Naye Yesu akawaonya kwa ukali: "Msimwambie mtu yeyote jambo hili."

³¹But they, when they were gone out, spread his name abroad in all that land.

³¹Lakini wao wakaondoka, wakaeneza habari za Yesu katika nchi ile yote.

³²But as these were going out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed by a demon.

³²Watu walipokuwa wanakwenda zao, wengine walimletea Yesu mtu mmoja aliyekuwa bubu kwa sababu alikuwa amepagawa na pepo.

³³And the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake. And the crowds were astonished, saying, It has never been seen thus in Israel.

³³Mara tu huyo pepo alipotolewa, mtu huyo aliyekuwa bubu akaanza kuongea tena. Watu wakashangaa na kusema, "Jambo kama hili halijapata kuonekana katika Israeli!"

³⁴But the Pharisees said, He casts out the demons through the prince of the demons.

³⁴Lakini Mafarisayo wakawa wanasema, "Anawatoa pepo kwa nguvu ya mkuu wa pepo wabaya."

³⁵And Jesus went round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness.

³⁵Yesu alitembelea miji yote na vijiji, akafundisha katika masunagogi yao akihubiri Habari Njema ya Ufalme wa Mungu, na kuponya magonjwa yote na udhaifu wa kila namna.

³⁶But when he saw the crowds he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed, and cast away as sheep not having a shepherd.

³⁶Basi, alipowaona watu, makundi kwa makundi, aliwaonea huruma kwa sababu walikuwa hoi na wenye wasiwasi kama kondoo wasio na mchungaji.

³⁷Then saith he to his disciples, The harvest [is] great and the workmen [are] few;

³⁷Hapo akawaambia wanafunzi wake, "Mavuno ni mengi, lakini wavunaji ni wachache.

³⁸supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth workmen unto his harvest.

³⁸Kwa hivyo mwombeni mwenye shamba atume wavunaji shambani mwake."
