¹Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

¹Kisha, Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, "Haiwezekani kabisa kusitokee vikwazo vinavyosababisha dhambi; lakini ole wake mtu yule atakayevisababisha.

²It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

²Ingekuwa afadhali kwake kufungiwa shingoni jiwe kubwa la kusagia na kutoswa baharini, kuliko kumkwaza mmoja wa wadogo hawa.

³Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

³Jihadharini! Kama ndugu yako akikukosea, mwonye; akitubu, msamehe.

⁴And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

⁴Na kama akikukosea mara saba kwa siku, na kila mara akarudi kwako akisema Nimetubu, lazima umsamehe."

⁵And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

⁵Mitume wakamwambia Bwana, "Utuongezee imani."

⁶And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

⁶Naye Bwana akajibu, "Kama imani yenu ingekuwa ndogo hata kama chembe ndogo ya haradali, mngeweza kuuambia mti huu wa mkuyu: Ng'oka ukajipandikize baharini, nao ungewatii.

⁷But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

⁷"Tuseme mmoja wenu ana mtumishi ambaye analima shambani au anachunga kondoo. Je, anaporudi kutoka shambani, atamwambia: Haraka, njoo ule chakula?

⁸And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

⁸La! Atamwambia: Nitayarishie chakula, ujifunge tayari kunitumikia mpaka nitakapomaliza kula na kunywa, ndipo nawe ule na unywe.

⁹Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

⁹Je utamshukuru huyo mtumishi kwa sababu ametimiza aliyoamriwa?

¹⁰So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

¹⁰Hali kadhalika na ninyi mkisha fanya yote mliyoamriwa, semeni: Sisi ni watumishi tusio na faida, tumetimiza tu yale tuliyotakiwa kufanya."

¹¹And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

¹¹Yesu akiwa safarini kwenda Yerusalemu alipitia mipakani mwa Samaria na Galilaya.

¹²And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

¹²Alipokuwa anaingia katika kijiji kimoja, watu kumi wenye ukoma walikutana naye, wakasimama kwa mbali.

¹³And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

¹³Wakapaza sauti wakisema, "Yesu Mwalimu, tuonee huruma!"

¹⁴And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

¹⁴Alipowaona akawaambia, "Nendeni mkajionyeshe kwa makuhani." Basi, ikawa walipokuwa wanakwenda, wakatakasika.

¹⁵And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

¹⁵Mmoja wao alipoona kwamba ameponywa alirudi akimtukuza Mungu kwa sauti kubwa.

¹⁶And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

¹⁶Akajitupa chini mbele ya miguu ya Yesu huku akimshukuru. Huyo alikuwa Msamaria.

¹⁷And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

¹⁷Hapo Yesu akasema, "Je, si watu kumi walitakaswa? Wale tisa wako wapi?

¹⁸There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

¹⁸Hakupatikana mwingine aliyerudi kumtukuza Mungu ila tu huyu mgeni?"

¹⁹And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

¹⁹Halafu akamwambia huyo mtu, "Simama, uende zako; imani yako imekuponya."

²⁰And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

²⁰Wakati mmoja, Mafarisayo walimwuliza Yesu, "Ufalme wa Mungu utakuja lini?" Naye akawajibu, "Ufalme wa Mungu hauji kwa namna itakayoweza kuonekana.

²¹Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

²¹Wala hakuna atakayeweza kusema, Uko hapa, au Uko pale. Kwa kweli Ufalme wa Mungu uko kati yenu."

²²And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

²²Halafu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, "Siku zinakuja ambapo mtatamani kuona mojawapo ya siku za Mwana wa Mtu, lakini hamtaiona.

²³And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

²³Na watu watawaambieni: Tazameni yuko hapa; ninyi msitoke wala msiwafuate.

²⁴For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

²⁴Kwa maana kama vile umeme unavyotokea ghafla na kuangaza anga upande mmoja hadi mwingine, ndivyo Mwana wa Mtu atakavyokuwa siku yake.

²⁵But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.

²⁵Lakini kabla ya hayo, itambidi ateseke sana na kukataliwa na kizazi hiki.

²⁶And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

²⁶Kama ilivyokuwa nyakati za Noa, ndivyo itakavyokuwa katika siku za Mwana wa Mtu.

²⁷They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

²⁷Watu waliendelea kula na kunywa, kuoa na kuolewa mpaka wakati ule Noa alipoingia katika safina. Gharika ikatokea na kuwaangamiza wote.

²⁸Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

²⁸Itakuwa kama ilivyotokea wakati wa Loti. Watu waliendelea kula na kunywa, kununua na kuuza, kupanda mbegu na kujenga.

²⁹But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

²⁹Lakini siku ile Loti alipoondoka Sodoma, moto na kiberiti vikanyesha kama mvua kutoka mbinguni na kuwaangamiza wote.

³⁰Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

³⁰Ndivyo itakavyokuwa siku ile Mwana wa Mtu atakapofunuliwa.

³¹In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

³¹"Siku hiyo, yeyote atakayekuwa juu ya paa asishuke nyumbani kuchukua mali yake. Kadhalika, naye atakayekuwa shambani asirudi nyuma.

³²Remember Lot's wife.

³²Kumbukeni yaliyompata mke wa Loti.

³³Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

³³Yeyote anayetaka kuiokoa nafsi yake, ataipoteza; na yeyote anayeipoteza, ataiokoa.

³⁴I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

³⁴Nawaambieni, siku ile usiku watu wawili watakuwa wanalala pamoja, mmoja atachukuliwa na yule mwingine ataachwa.

³⁵Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

³⁵Wanawake wawili watakuwa wakisaga nafaka pamoja; mmoja atachukuliwa na mwingine ataachwa."

³⁶Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

³⁶Watu wawili watakuwa shambani; mmoja atachukuliwa na mwingine ataachwa.

³⁷And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

³⁷Hapo wakamwuliza, "Ni wapi Bwana?" Naye akawaambia, "Ulipo mzoga, ndipo tai watakapokusanyikia."
