¹He entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city.

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

²Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.”

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."

³Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes.”

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

⁴Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?

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

⁵ For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get up, and walk?’

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

⁶ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” (then he said to the paralytic), “Get up, and take up your mat, and go up to your 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."

⁷He arose and departed to his house.

⁷Huyo mtu aliyekuwa amepooza akainuka, akaenda nyumbani kwake.

⁸But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

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

⁹As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got 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.

¹⁰It happened as he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.

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

¹¹When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

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

¹²When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

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

¹³ But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ Hosea 6:6 for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. NU omits “to repentance”. ”

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

¹⁴Then John’s disciples came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?”

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

¹⁵Jesus said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be 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.

¹⁶ No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.

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

¹⁷ Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”

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."

¹⁸While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will 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."

¹⁹Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.

¹⁹Yesu akaondoka pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akamfuata.

²⁰Behold, a woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe or, tassel 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 just touch his garment, I will be made well.”

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

²²But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, “Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

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

²³When Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd in noisy disorder,

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

²⁴he said to them, “Make room, because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.” They were ridiculing him.

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

²⁵But when the crowd was put out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

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

²⁶The report of this went out into all that land.

²⁶Habari hiyo ikavuma sana katika nchi ile yote.

²⁷As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, “Have mercy on us, son of David!”

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

²⁸When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They told him, “Yes, 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 done to you.”

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

³⁰Their eyes were opened. Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, “See that no one knows about this.”

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

³¹But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.

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

³²As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.

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

³³When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen 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, “By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons.”

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

³⁵Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

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 multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed TR reads “weary” instead of “harassed” and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.

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

³⁷Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

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

³⁸ Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest.”

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