1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
Wakamjia Mafarisayo na Masadukayo, wakamjaribu, wakamwomba awaonyeshe ishara itokayo mbinguni.
2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
Akajibu, akawaambia, [Kukiwa jioni, mwasema, Kutakuwa na kianga; kwa maana mbingu ni nyekundu.
3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
Na asubuhi, mwasema, Leo kutakuwa na dhoruba; kwa maana mbingu ni nyekundu, tena kumetanda. Enyi wanafiki, mwajua kuutambua uso wa mbingu; lakini, je! Ishara za zamani hizi hamwezi kuzitambua?]
4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
Kizazi kibaya na cha zinaa chataka ishara; wala hakitapewa ishara, isipokuwa ishara ya Yona. Akawaacha, akaenda zake.
5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
Nao wanafunzi wakaenda hata ng'ambo, wakasahau kuchukua mikate.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Yesu akawaambia, Angalieni, jilindeni na chachu ya Mafarisayo na Masadukayo.
7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
Wakabishana wao kwa wao, wakisema, Ni kwa sababu hatukuchukua mikate.
8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
Naye Yesu akafahamu, akawaambia, Mbona mnabishana ninyi kwa ninyi, enyi wa imani chache, kwa sababu hamna mikate?
9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Hamjafahamu bado, wala hamkumbuki ile mikate mitano kwa wale elfu tano, na vikapu vingapi mlivyoviokota?
10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Wala ile mikate saba kwa watu elfu nne, na makanda mangapi mliyoyaokota?
11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
Imekuwaje hamkufahamu ya kuwa si kwa sababu ya mkate naliwaambia? Ila jilindeni na chachu ya Mafarisayo na Masadukayo.
12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Ndipo walipofahamu ya kuwa hakuwaambia kujilinda na chachu ya mkate, bali na mafundisho ya Mafarisayo na Masadukayo.
The Great Confession
13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
Basi Yesu akaenda pande za Kaisaria-Filipi, akawauliza wanafunzi wake akasema, Watu hunena Mwana wa Adamu kuwa ni nani?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
Wakasema, Wengine hunena u Yohana Mbatizaji, wengine Eliya, wengine Yeremia au mmojawapo wa manabii.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
Akawaambia, Nanyi mwaninena mimi kuwa ni nani?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Simoni Petro akajibu akasema, Wewe ndiwe Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu aliye hai.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Yesu akajibu, akamwambia, Heri wewe Simoni Bar-yona; kwa kuwa mwili na damu havikukufunulia hili, bali Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Nami nakuambia, Wewe ndiwe Petro, na juu ya mwamba huu nitalijenga kanisa langu; wala milango ya kuzimu haitalishinda.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Nami nitakupa wewe funguo za ufalme wa mbinguni; na lo lote utakalolifunga duniani, litakuwa limefungwa mbinguni; na lo lote utakalolifungua duniani, litakuwa limefunguliwa mbinguni.
20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
Ndipo alipowakataza sana wanafunzi wake wasimwambie mtu ye yote ya kwamba yeye ndiye Kristo.
True Discipleship
21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
Tangu wakati huo Yesu alianza kuwaonya wanafunzi wake ya kwamba imempasa kwenda Yerusalemu, na kupata mateso mengi kwa wazee na wakuu wa makuhani, na waandishi, na kuuawa, na siku ya tatu kufufuka.
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
Petro akamchukua, akaanza kumkemea, akisema, Hasha, Bwana, hayo hayatakupata.
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
Akageuka, akamwambia Petro, Nenda nyuma yangu, Shetani; u kikwazo kwangu; maana huyawazi yaliyo ya Mungu, bali ya wanadamu.
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Wakati huo Yesu aliwaambia wanafunzi wake, Mtu ye yote akitaka kunifuata, na ajikane mwenyewe, ajitwike msalaba wake, anifuate.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Kwa kuwa mtu atakaye kuiokoa nafsi yake, ataipoteza; na mtu atakayepoteza nafsi yake kwa ajili yangu, ataiona.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Kwani atafaidiwa nini mtu akiupata ulimwengu wote, na kupata hasara ya nafsi yake? Au mtu atatoa nini badala ya nafsi yake?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Kwa sababu Mwana wa Adamu atakuja katika utukufu wa Baba yake pamoja na malaika zake; ndipo atakapomlipa kila mtu kwa kadiri ya matendo yake.
28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Amin, nawaambieni, Pana watu katika hawa wasimamao hapa, ambao hawataonja mauti kabisa, hata watakapomwona Mwana wa Adamu akija katika ufalme wake.
