The Transfiguration
1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
Na baada ya siku sita Yesu akawatwaa Petro, na Yakobo, na Yohana nduguye, akawaleta juu ya mlima mrefu faraghani;
2 and was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
akageuka sura yake mbele yao; uso wake ukang'aa kama jua, mavazi yake yakawa meupe kama nuru.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Na tazama, wakatokewa na Musa na Eliya, wakizungumza naye.
4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
Petro akajibu akamwambia Yesu, Bwana, ni vizuri sisi kuwapo hapa; ukitaka, nitafanya hapa vibanda vitatu, kimoja chako wewe, na kimoja cha Musa, na kimoja cha Eliya.
5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
Alipokuwa katika kusema, tazama, wingu jeupe likawatia uvuli; na tazama, sauti ikatoka katika lile wingu, ikasema, Huyu ni Mwanangu, mpendwa wangu, ninayependezwa naye; msikieni yeye.
6 And when the disciples heard it , they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
Na wale wanafunzi waliposikia, walianguka kifulifuli, wakaogopa sana.
7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
Yesu akaja, akawagusa, akasema, Inukeni, wala msiogope.
8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
Wakainua macho yao, wasione mtu ila Yesu peke yake.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
Na walipokuwa wakishuka mlimani, Yesu aliwaagiza, akasema, Msimwambie mtu ye yote habari ya maono hayo, hata Mwana wa Adamu atakapofufuka katika wafu.
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
Wanafunzi wake wakamwuliza, wakisema, Basi kwa nini waandishi hunena ya kwamba imempasa Eliya kuja kwanza?
11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
Naye akajibu, akawaambia, Kweli Eliya yuaja kwanza, naye atatengeneza yote,
12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
ila nawaambia, ya kwamba Eliya amekwisha kuja, wasimtambue, lakini wakamtenda yote waliyotaka. Vivyo hivyo Mwana wa Adamu naye yuaenda kuteswa kwao.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
Ndipo wale wanafunzi walipofahamu ya kuwa amesema nao habari za Yohana Mbatizaji.
Cures an Afflicted Boy
14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
Nao walipoufikia mkutano, mtu mmoja akamjia, akampigia magoti, akisema,
15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
Bwana, umrehemu mwanangu, kwa kuwa ana kifafa, na kuteswa vibaya; maana mara nyingi huanguka motoni, na mara nyingi majini.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
Nikamleta kwa wanafunzi wako, wasiweze kumponya.
17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
Yesu akajibu, akasema, Enyi kizazi kisichoamini, kilichopotoka, nitakaa pamoja nanyi hata lini? Nitachukuliana nanyi hata lini? Mleteni huku kwangu.
18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
Yesu akamkemea pepo, naye akamtoka; yule kijana akapona tangu saa ile.
19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
Kisha wale wanafunzi wakamwendea Yesu kwa faragha wakasema Mbona sisi hatukuweza kumtoa?
20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Yesu akawaambia, Kwa sababu ya upungufu wa imani yenu. Kwa maana, amin, nawaambia, Mkiwa na imani kiasi cha punje ya haradali mtauambia mlima huu, Ondoka hapa uende kule; nao utaondoka; wala halitakuwako neno lisilowezekana kwenu.
21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
[Lakini namna hii haitoki ila kwa kusali na kufunga.]
In Galilee
22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
Nao walipokuwa wakikaa Galilaya, Yesu akawaambia, Mwana wa Adamu anakwenda kutiwa katika mikono ya watu, nao watamwua, na siku ya tatu atafufuka.
23 and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
Wakasikitika sana.
24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
Hata walipofika Kapernaumu, wale watozao nusu-shekeli walimwendea Petro, wakasema, Je! Mwalimu wenu hatoi nusu-shekeli? Akasema, Hutoa.
25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
Naye alipoingia nyumbani, Yesu alitangulia kumwuliza, akisema, Waonaje, Simoni? Wafalme wa dunia hutwaa kodi ama ushuru kwa watu gani? Kwa wana wao au kwa wageni?
26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
Naye aliposema, Kwa wageni, Yesu alimwambia, Basi, kama ni hivyo, wana ni mahuru.
27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
Lakini tusije tukawakwaza, enenda baharini ukatupe ndoana, ukatwae samaki yule azukaye kwanza; na ukifumbua mdomo wake utaona shekeli ichukue hiyo ukawape kwa ajili yangu na kwa ajili yako.
