¹The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.

¹Mafarisayo na Masadukayo walimwendea Yesu, na kwa kumjaribu, wakamwomba afanye ishara itokayo mbinguni.

²He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

²Lakini Yesu akawajibu, "Wakati wa jioni ukifika ninyi husema: Hali ya hewa itakuwa nzuri kwa maana anga ni jekundu!

³And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

³Na alfajiri mwasema: Leo hali ya hewa itakuwa ya dhoruba, maana anga ni jekundu na tena mawingu yametanda! Basi, ninyi mnajua sana kusoma majira kwa kuangalia anga, lakini kutambua dalili za nyakati hizi hamjui.

⁴A 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.

⁴Kizazi kiovu kisicho na uaminifu! Mnataka ishara, lakini hamtapewa ishara yoyote isipokuwa tu ile ya Yona." Basi, akawaacha, akaenda zake.

⁵And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

⁵Wanafunzi wake walipokwisha vukia upande wa pili wa ziwa, walijikuta wamesahau kuchukua mikate.

⁶Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

⁶Yesu akawaambia, "Muwe macho na mjihadhari na chachu ya Mafarisayo na Masadukayo!"

⁷And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.

⁷Lakini wao wakawa wanajadiliana: "Anasema hivyo kwa kuwa hatukuchukua mikate."

⁸Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

⁸Yesu alijua mawazo yao, akawaambia, "Enyi watu wenye imani haba! Mbona mnajadiliana juu ya kutokuwa na mikate?

⁹Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

⁹Je, hamjaelewa bado? Je, hamkumbuki nilipoimega ile mikate mitano kwa ajili ya wale watu elfu tano? Je, mlijaza vikapu vingapi vya makombo?

¹⁰Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

¹⁰Au, ile mikate saba waliyogawiwa wale watu elfu nne, je, mlikusanya vikapu vingapi vya mabaki?

¹¹How 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?

¹¹Inawezekanaje hamwelewi ya kwamba sikuwa nikisema juu ya mikate? Jihadharini na chachu ya Mafarisayo na Masadukayo!"

¹²Then 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.

¹²Hapo wanafunzi wakafahamu kwamba aliwaambia wajihadhari siyo na chachu ya mikate, bali na mafundisho ya Mafarisayo na Masadukayo.

¹³When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

¹³Yesu alipofika pande za Kaisarea Filipi, aliwauliza wanafunzi wake, "Watu wanasema Mwana wa Mtu kuwa ni nani?"

¹⁴And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

¹⁴Wakamjibu, "Wengine wanasema kuwa ni Yohane mbatizaji, wengine Eliya, wengine Yeremia au mmojawapo wa manabii."

¹⁵He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

¹⁵Yesu akawauliza, "Na ninyi je, mwasema mimi ni nani?"

¹⁶And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

¹⁶Simoni Petro akajibu, "Wewe ndiwe Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu aliye hai."

¹⁷And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

¹⁷Yesu akasema, "Heri wewe Simoni mwana wa Yona, kwa maana si binadamu aliyekufunulia ukweli huu, ila Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.

¹⁸And 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.

¹⁸Nami nakwambia: wewe ni Petro, na juu ya mwamba huu nitalijenga kanisa langu; wala kifo chenyewe hakitaweza kulishinda.

¹⁹And 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.

¹⁹Nitakupa funguo za Ufalme wa mbinguni; kila utakachofunga duniani, kitafungwa pia mbinguni; kila utakachofungua duniani, kitafunguliwa pia mbinguni."

²⁰Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

²⁰Kisha akawaonya wanafunzi wasimwambie mtu yeyote kwamba yeye ndiye Kristo.

²¹From 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.

²¹Tangu wakati huo Yesu alianza kuwajulisha waziwazi wanafunzi wake: "Ni lazima mimi niende Yerusalemu, na huko nikapate mateso mengi yatakayosababishwa na wazee, makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria. Nitauawa, na siku ya tatu nitafufuliwa."

²²Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

²²Hapo Petro akamchukua kando, akaanza kumkemea: "Isiwe hivyo Bwana! Jambo hili halitakupata!"

²³But 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.

²³Lakini Yesu akageuka, akamwambia Petro, "Ondoka mbele yangu Shetani! Wewe ni kikwazo kwangu. Mawazo yako si ya mungu bali ni ya kibinadamu!"

²⁴Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

²⁴Kisha Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, "Kama mtu yeyote anataka kuwa mfuasi wangu, ni lazima ajikane mwenyewe, auchukue msalaba wake, anifuate.

²⁵For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

²⁵Maana, mtu anayetaka kuyaokoa maisha yake mwenyewe, atayapoteza;

²⁶For 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?

²⁶lakini mtu anayeyapoteza maisha yake kwa ajili yangu, atayapata. Je, mtu atafaidi nini akiupata utajiri wote wa ulimwengu na hali amepoteza maisha yake? Au, mtu atatoa kitu gani kiwe badala ya maisha yake?

²⁷For 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.

²⁷Maana, Mwana wa Mtu atakuja katika utukufu wa Baba yake pamoja na malaika wake, na hapo ndipo atakapomlipa kila mtu kadiri ya matendo yake.

²⁸Verily 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.

²⁸Kweli nawaambieni, wako wengine papahapa ambao hawatakufa kabla ya kumwona Mwana wa Mtu akija katika Ufalme wake."
