¹And he said unto the disciples, `It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but wo [to him] through whom they come;

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

²it is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put round about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to stumble.

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

³`Take heed to yourselves, and, if thy brother may sin in regard to thee, rebuke him, and if he may reform, forgive him,

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

⁴and if seven times in the day he may sin against thee, and seven times in the day may turn back to thee, saying, I reform; thou shalt forgive him.`

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

⁵And the apostles said to the Lord, `Add to us faith;`

⁵Mitume wakamwambia Bwana, "Utuongezee imani."

⁶and the Lord said, `If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye would have said to this sycamine, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed 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.

⁷`But, who is he of you — having a servant ploughing or feeding — who, to him having come in out of the field, will say, Having come near, recline at meat?

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

⁸but will not [rather] say to him, Prepare what I may sup, and having girded thyself about, minister to me, till I eat and drink, and after these things thou shalt eat and drink?

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

⁹Hath he favour to that servant because he did the things directed? I think not.

⁹Je utamshukuru huyo mtumishi kwa sababu ametimiza aliyoamriwa?

¹⁰`So also ye, when ye may have done all the things directed you, say — We are unprofitable servants, because that which we owed to do — we have done.`

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, in his going on to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee,

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

¹²and he entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood afar off,

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

¹³and they lifted up the voice, saying, `Jesus, master, deal kindly with us;`

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

¹⁴and having seen [them], he said to them, `Having gone on, shew yourselves to the priests;` and it came to pass, in their going, they were cleansed,

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

¹⁵and one of them having seen that he was healed did turn back, with a loud voice glorifying God,

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

¹⁶and he fell upon [his] face at his feet, giving thanks to him, and he was a Samaritan.

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

¹⁷And Jesus answering said, `Were not the ten cleansed, and the nine — where?

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

¹⁸There were not found who did turn back to give glory to God, except this alien;`

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

¹⁹and he said to him, `Having risen, be going on, thy faith hath saved thee.`

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

²⁰And having been questioned by the Pharisees, when the reign of God doth come, he answered them, and said, `The reign of God doth not come with observation;

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

²¹nor shall they say, Lo, here; or lo, there; for lo, the reign 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 his disciples, `Days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and ye shall not behold [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, Lo, here; or lo, there; ye may not go away, nor follow;

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

²⁴for as the lightning that is lightening out of the one [part] under heaven, to the other part under heaven doth shine, so shall be also the Son of Man in his day;

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

²⁵and first it behoveth him to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.

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

²⁶`And, as it came to pass in the days of Noah, 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 were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were given in marriage, till the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came, and destroyed all;

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

²⁸in like manner also, as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;

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

²⁹and on the day Lot went forth from Sodom, He rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed all.

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

³⁰`According to these things it shall be, in the day the Son of Man is revealed;

³⁰Ndivyo itakavyokuwa siku ile Mwana wa Mtu atakapofunuliwa.

³¹in that day, he who shall be on the house top, and his vessels in the house, let him not come down to take them away; and he in the field, in like manner, let him not turn backward;

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

³²remember the wife of Lot.

³²Kumbukeni yaliyompata mke wa Loti.

³³Whoever may seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever may lose it, shall preserve it.

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

³⁴`I say to you, In that night, there shall be two men on one couch, 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 at the same place together, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be 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 answering say to him, `Where, sir?` and he said to them, `Where the body [is], there will the eagles be gathered together.`

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