1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
Akawaambia, Amin, nawaambia, Pana watu katika hawa wasimamao hapa, ambao hawataonja mauti kabisa, hata watakapouona ufalme wa Mungu umekuja kwa nguvu.
Mount of Transfiguration
2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
Hata baada ya siku sita Yesu akawatwaa Petro, na Yakobo, na Yohana, akawaleta juu ya mlima mrefu faraghani, peke yao; akageuka sura yake mbele yao;
3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
mavazi yake yakimeta-meta, meupe mno, jinsi asivyoweza dobi duniani kuyafanya meupe.
4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
Wakatokewa na Eliya pamoja na Musa, nao walikuwa wakizungumza na Yesu.
5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
Petro akajibu, akamwambia Yesu, Rabi, ni vizuri sisi kuwapo hapa; na tufanye vibanda vitatu, kimoja chako wewe, kimoja cha Musa, na kimoja cha Eliya.
6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
Maana, hakujua la kunena, kwa kuwa waliingiwa na hofu nyingi.
7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
Kisha likatokea wingu, likawatia uvuli; sauti ikatoka katika lile wingu, Huyu ni Mwanangu, mpendwa wangu, msikieni yeye.
8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
Mara hiyo walipotazama huku na huku, hawakuona mtu pamoja nao ila Yesu peke yake.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
Na walipokuwa wakishuka mlimani aliwakataza wasimweleze mtu waliyoyaona, hata Mwana wa Adamu atakapokuwa amefufuka katika wafu.
10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
Wakalishika neno lile, wakiulizana wao kwa wao, Huko kufufuka katika wafu maana yake nini?
11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
Wakamwuliza, wakisema, Mbona waandishi hunena ya kwamba imempasa Eliya kuja kwanza?
12 And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
Akajibu akawaambia, Ni kweli Eliya yuaja kwanza, na kurejeza upya yote; lakini, pamoja na haya, ameandikiwaje Mwana wa Adamu ya kwamba atateswa mengi na kudharauliwa?
13 But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
Lakini nawaambia, Eliya amekwisha kuja, nao wakamtenda yote waliyoyataka kama alivyoandikiwa.
14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
Hata walipowafikia wanafunzi, waliona mkutano mkuu wakiwazunguka, na waandishi wakijadiliana nao;
15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
mara mkutano wote walipomwona walishangaa, wakamwendea mbio, wakamsalimu.
16 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
Akawauliza, Mnajadiliana nini nao?
17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
Mtu mmoja katika mkutano akamjibu, Mwalimu, nimemleta mwanangu kwako, ana pepo bubu;
18 and wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
na kila ampagaapo, humbwaga chini, naye hutoka povu na kusaga meno na kukonda; nikasema na wanafunzi wako wamtoe pepo, wasiweze.
19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
Akawajibu, akasema, Enyi kizazi kisichoamini, nikae nanyi hata lini? Nichukuliane nanyi hata lini? Mleteni kwangu.
20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
Wakamleta kwake; hata alipomwona, mara yule pepo alimtia kifafa; naye akaanguka chini, akagaa-gaa, akitokwa na povu.
21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
Akamwuliza babaye, Amepatwa na haya tangu lini? Akasema, Tangu utoto.
22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
Na mara nyingi amemtupa katika moto, na katika maji, amwangamize; lakini ukiweza neno lo lote, utuhurumie, na kutusaidia.
23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Yesu akamwambia, Ukiweza! Yote yawezekana kwake aaminiye.
24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
Mara babaye yule kijana akapaza sauti, akasema, Naamini, nisaidie kutokuamini kwangu.
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
Naye Yesu akiona ya kuwa mkutano unakusanyika mbio, akamkemea yule pepo mchafu, akamwambia, Ewe pepo bubu na kiziwi, mimi nakuamuru, mtoke huyu, wala usimwingie tena.
26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
Akalia, akamtia kifafa sana, akamtoka; naye akawa kama amekufa; hata wengi wakasema, Amekufa.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
Lakini Yesu akamshika mkono akamwinua naye akasimama.
28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
Hata alipoingia nyumbani, wanafunzi wake wakamwuliza kwa faragha, Mbona sisi hatukuweza kumtoa?
29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
Akawaambia, Namna hii haiwezi kutoka kwa neno lo lote, isipokuwa kwa kuomba.
30 And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it .
Wakatoka huko, wakapita katikati ya Galilaya; naye hakutaka mtu kujua.
31 For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.
Kwa sababu alikuwa akiwafundisha wanafunzi wake, akawaambia, Mwana wa Adamu yuaenda kutiwa katika mikono ya watu, nao watamwua; hata akiisha kuuawa, baada ya siku tatu atafufuka.
32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.
Lakini hawakulifahamu neno lile, wakaogopa kumwuliza.
Capernaum
33 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?
Wakafika Kapernaumu; hata alipokuwamo nyumbani, akawauliza, Mlishindania nini njiani?
34 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
Wakanyamaza; kwa maana njiani walikuwa wakibishana wao kwa wao, ni nani aliye mkubwa.
35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
Akaketi chini, akawaita wale Thenashara akawaambia, Mtu atakaye kuwa wa kwanza atakuwa wa mwisho kuliko wote, na mtumishi wa wote.
36 And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
Akatwaa kitoto, akamweka katikati yao, akamkumbatia, akawaambia,
37 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
Mtu akimpokea mtoto mmoja wa namna hii kwa jina langu, anipokea mimi; na mtu akinipokea mimi, humpokea, si mimi, bali yeye aliyenituma.
38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
Yohana akamjibu, akamwambia, Mwalimu, tulimwona mtu akitoa pepo kwa jina lako, ambaye hafuatani nasi; tukamkataza, kwa sababu hafuatani nasi.
39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
Yesu akasema, Msimkataze, kwa kuwa hakuna mtu atakayefanya mwujiza kwa jina langu akaweza mara kuninenea mabaya;
40 For he that is not against us is on our part.
kwa sababu asiye kinyume chetu, yu upande wetu.
41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
Kwa kuwa ye yote atakayewanywesha ninyi kikombe cha maji, kwa kuwa ninyi ni watu wa Kristo, amin, nawaambia, hatakosa thawabu yake.
42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
Na ye yote atakayemkosesha mmojawapo wa wadogo hawa waniaminio, afadhali afungiwe jiwe la kusagia shingoni mwake, na kutupwa baharini.
43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
Na mkono wako ukikukosesha, ukate; ni afadhali kuingia katika uzima u kigutu, kuliko kuwa na mikono miwili, na kwenda zako jehanum, kwenye moto usiozimika;
44 where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
ambamo humo funza wao hafi, wala moto hauzimiki.
45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
Na mguu wako ukikukosesha, ukate; ni afadhali kuingia katika uzima, u kiwete, kuliko kuwa na miguu miwili, na kutupwa katika jehanum;
46 where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
ambamo humo funza wao hafi, wala moto hauzimiki.
47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
Na jicho lako likikukosesha, ling'oe, ulitupe; ni afadhali kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu, una chongo, kuliko kuwa na macho mawili, na kutupwa katika jehanum;
48 where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
ambamo humo funza wao hafi, wala moto hauzimiki.
49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
Kwa sababu kila mtu atatiwa chumvi kwa moto.
50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
Chumvi ni njema; lakini chumvi ikiwa si chumvi tena, mtaitia nini ikolee? Mwe na chumvi ndani yenu, mkakae kwa amani ninyi kwa ninyi.
