¹And he said to them, `Verily I say to you, That there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death till they see the reign of God having come in power.`

¹Yesu akaendelea kuwaambia, "Kweli nawaambieni, wako wengine papa hapa ambao hawatakufa kabla ya kuuona Ufalme wa Mungu ukija kwa enzi."

²And after six days doth Jesus take Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up to a high mount by themselves, alone, and he was transfigured before them,

²Baada ya siku sita, Yesu aliwachukua Petro, Yakobo na Yohane juu ya mlima mrefu peke yao. Huko, Yesu akageuka sura mbele yao,

³and his garments became glittering, white exceedingly, as snow, so as a fuller upon the earth is not able to whiten [them].

³mavazi yake yakang'aa, yakawa meupe sana, jinsi dobi yeyote duniani asingeweza kuyafanya meupe.

⁴And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

⁴Eliya na Mose wakawatokea, wakazungumza na Yesu.

⁵And Peter answering saith to Jesus, `Rabbi, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, for thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one:`

⁵Petro akamwambia Yesu, "Mwalimu, ni vizuri sana kwamba tuko hapa. Basi, afadhali tujenge vibanda vitatu: kimoja chako, kimoja cha Mose na kimoja cha Eliya."

⁶for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid.

⁶Yeye na wenzake waliogopa hata hakujua la kusema.

⁷And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, `This is My Son — the Beloved, hear ye him;`

⁷Kisha likatokea wingu likawafunika, na sauti ikasikika kutoka katika hilo wingu, "Huyu ni Mwanangu mpendwa, msikilizeni."

⁸and suddenly, having looked around, they saw no one any more, but Jesus only with themselves.

⁸Mara wanafunzi hao wakatazama tena, lakini hawakumwona mtu mwingine, ila Yesu peke yake pamoja nao.

⁹And as they are coming down from the mount, he charged them that they may declare to no one the things that they saw, except when the Son of Man may rise out of the dead;

⁹Walipokuwa wakishuka mlimani, Yesu aliwakataza wasimwambie mtu yeyote mambo waliyoyaona, mpaka Mwana wa Mtu atakapokuwa amefufuka kutoka wafu.

¹⁰and the thing they kept to themselves, questioning together what the rising out of the dead is.

¹⁰Basi, wakashika agizo hilo, lakini wakawa wanajadiliana wao kwa wao maana ya kufufuka kutoka wafu.

¹¹And they were questioning him, saying, that the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first.

¹¹Wakamwuliza Yesu, "Mbona walimu wa Sheria wanasema kwamba ni lazima Eliya aje kwanza?"

¹²And he answering said to them, `Elijah indeed, having come first, doth restore all things; and how hath it been written concerning the Son of Man, that many things he may suffer, and be set at nought?

¹²Naye akawajibu, "Naam, Eliya anakuja kwanza kutayarisha yote. Hata hivyo, kwa nini basi imeandikwa katika Maandiko Matakatifu kwamba Mwana wa Mtu atapatwa na mateso mengi na kudharauliwa?

¹³But I say to you, That also Elijah hath come, and they did to him what they willed, as it hath been written of him.`

¹³Lakini nawaambieni, Eliya amekwisha kuja, nao wakamtendea walivyotaka kama ilivyoandikwa juu yake."

¹⁴And having come unto the disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them,

¹⁴Walipowafikia wale wanafunzi wengine, waliona umati mkubwa wa watu hapo. Na baadhi ya walimu wa Sheria walikuwa wanajadiliana nao.

¹⁵and immediately, all the multitude having seen him, were amazed, and running near, were saluting him.

¹⁵Mara tu ule umati wa watu ulipomwona, wote walishangaa sana, wakamkimbilia wamsalimu.

¹⁶And he questioned the scribes, `What dispute ye with them?`

¹⁶Yesu akawauliza, "Mnajadiliana nini nao?"

¹⁷and one out of the multitude answering said, `Teacher, I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit;

¹⁷Hapo mtu mmoja katika ule umati wa watu akamjibu, "Mwalimu, nimemleta mwanangu kwako, ana pepo aliyemfanya kuwa bubu.

¹⁸and wherever it doth seize him, it doth tear him, and he foameth, and gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away; and I spake to thy disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not able.`

¹⁸Kila mara anapomvamia, humwangusha chini na kumfanya atokwe na povu kinywani, akisaga meno na kuwa mkavu mwili wote. Niliwaomba wanafunzi wako wamtoe huyo pepo lakini hawakuweza."

¹⁹And he answering him, said, `O generation unbelieving, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I suffer you? bring him unto me;`

¹⁹Yesu akawaambia, "Enyi kizazi kisicho na imani! Nitakaa nanyi mpaka lini? Nitawavumilia mpaka lini? Mleteni kwangu."

²⁰and they brought him unto him, and he having seen him, immediately the spirit tare him, and he, having fallen upon the earth, was wallowing — foaming.

²⁰Wakampeleka. Mara tu huyo pepo alipomwona Yesu, alimtia mtoto kifafa, naye mtoto akaanguka chini, akagaagaa na kutoka povu kinywani. Yesu akamwuliza baba yake huyo mtoto,

²¹And he questioned his father, `How long time is it since this came to him?` and he said, `From childhood,

²¹"Amepatwa na mambo hayo tangu lini?" Naye akamjibu, "Tangu utoto wake.

²²and many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if thou art able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.`

²²Na mara nyingi pepo huyo amemwangusha motoni na majini, ili amwangamize kabisa. Basi, ikiwa waweza, utuhurumie na kutusaidia!"

²³And Jesus said to him, `If thou art able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing;`

²³Yesu akamwambia, "Eti ikiwa waweza! Mambo yote yanawezekana kwa mtu aliye na imani."

²⁴and immediately the father of the child, having cried out, with tears said, `I believe, sir; be helping mine unbelief.`

²⁴Hapo, huyo baba akalia kwa sauti, "Naamini! Lakini imani yangu haitoshi, nisaidie!"

²⁵Jesus having seen that a multitude doth run together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, `Spirit — dumb and deaf — I charge thee, come forth out of him, and no more thou mayest enter into him;`

²⁵Yesu alipouona umati wa watu unaongezeka upesi mbele yake, alimkemea yule pepo mchafu, "Pepo unayemfanya huyu mtoto kuwa bubu-kiziwi, nakuamuru, mtoke mtoto huyu wala usimwingie tena!"

²⁶and having cried, and rent him much, it came forth, and he became as dead, so that many said that he was dead,

²⁶Hapo huyo pepo alipaaza sauti, akamwangusha huyo mtoto chini, kisha akamtoka. Mtoto alionekana kama maiti, hata wengine walisema, "Amekufa!"

²⁷but Jesus, having taken him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.

²⁷Lakini Yesu akamshika mkono, akamwinua, naye akasimama.

²⁸And he having come into the house, his disciples were questioning him by himself — `Why were we not able to cast it forth?`

²⁸Yesu alipoingia nyumbani, wanafunzi wake walimwuliza kwa faragha, "Kwa nini sisi hatukuweza kumtoa?"

²⁹And he said to them, `This kind is able to come forth with nothing except with prayer and fasting.`

²⁹Naye akawaambia, "Pepo wa aina hii hawezi kutoka isipokuwa kwa sala tu."

³⁰And having gone forth thence, they were passing through Galilee, and he did not wish that any may know,

³⁰Yesu na wanafunzi wake waliondoka hapo, wakaendelea na safari kupitia wilaya ya Galilaya. Yesu hakupenda watu wajue alipokuwa,

³¹for he was teaching his disciples, and he said to them, `The Son of Man is being delivered to the hands of men, and they shall kill him, and having been killed the third day he shall rise,`

³¹kwa sababu alikuwa anawafundisha wanafunzi wake. Aliwaambia, "Mwana wa Mtu atakabidhiwa kwa watu ambao watamuua; lakini siku ya tatu baada ya kuuawa atafufuka."

³²but they were not understanding the saying, and they were afraid to question him.

³²Wanafunzi hawakufahamu jambo hilo. Wakaogopa kumwuliza.

³³And he came to Capernaum, and being in the house, he was questioning them, `What were ye reasoning in the way among yourselves?`

³³Basi, walifika Kafarnaumu. Na alipokuwa nyumbani, aliwauliza, "Mlikuwa mnajadiliana nini njiani?"

³⁴and they were silent, for with one another they did reason in the way who is greater;

³⁴Lakini wao wakanyamaza, maana njiani walikuwa wamebishana ni nani aliye mkuu kati yao.

³⁵and having sat down he called the twelve, and he saith to them, `If any doth will to be first, he shall be last of all, and minister of all.`

³⁵Yesu akaketi chini, akawaita wale kumi na wawili, akawaambia, "Yeyote anayetaka kuwa wa kwanza lazima awe wa mwisho na kuwa mtumishi wa wote."

³⁶And having taken a child, he set him in the midst of them, and having taken him in his arms, said to them,

³⁶Kisha akamchukua mtoto mdogo, akamsimamisha kati yao, akamku mbatia, halafu akawaambia,

³⁷`Whoever may receive one of such children in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth not receive me, but Him who sent me.`

³⁷"Anayempokea mtoto kama huyu kwa jina langu, ananipokea mimi; na anayenipokea mimi, hanipokei mimi tu, bali anampokea yule aliyenituma."

³⁸And John did answer him, saying, `Teacher, we saw a certain one in thy name casting out demons, who doth not follow us, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow us.`

³⁸Yohane akamwambia, "Mwalimu, tumemwona mtu mmoja akitoa pepo kwa kulitumia jina lako, nasi tukajaribu kumkataza kwa kuwa yeye si mmoja wetu."

³⁹And Jesus said, `Forbid him not, for there is no one who shall do a mighty work in my name, and shall be able readily to speak evil of me:

³⁹Lakini Yesu akasema, "Msimkataze, maana hakuna mtu anayefanya muujiza kwa jina langu, na papo hapo akaweza kusema mabaya juu yangu.

⁴⁰for he who is not against us is for us;

⁴⁰Maana, asiyepingana nasi, yuko upande wetu.

⁴¹for whoever may give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because ye are Christ`s, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward;

⁴¹Mtu yeyote atakeyewapeni kikombe cha maji ya kunywa kwa sababu ninyi ni watu wake Kristo, hakika hatakosa kupata tuzo lake.

⁴²and whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea.

⁴²"Mtu yeyote atakayemfanya mmoja wa hawa wadogo wanaoniamini atende dhambi, ingekuwa afadhali kwa mtu huyo kufungiwa shingoni mwake jiwe kubwa la kusagia na kutupwa baharini.

⁴³`And if thy hand may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee maimed to enter into the life, than having the two hands, to go away to the gehenna, to the fire — the unquenchable —

⁴³Mkono wako ukikukosesha, ukate! Afadhali kuingia kwenye uzima bila mkono mmoja, kuliko kuwa na mikono miwili na kwenda katika moto wa Jehanamu.

⁴⁴where there worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.

⁴⁴Humo, wadudu wake hawafi na moto hauzimiki.

⁴⁵`And if thy foot may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into the life lame, than having the two feet to be cast to the gehenna, to the fire — the unquenchable —

⁴⁵Na mguu wako ukikukosesha, ukate! Afadhali kuingia katika uzima bila mguu mmoja, kuliko kuwa na miguu yote miwili na kutupwa katika moto wa Jehanamu.

⁴⁶where there worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.

⁴⁶Humo, wadudu wake hawafi na moto hauzimiki.

⁴⁷And if thine eye may cause thee to stumble, cast it out; it is better for thee one-eyed to enter into the reign of God, than having two eyes, to be cast to the gehenna of the fire —

⁴⁷Na jicho lako likikukosesha, ling'oe! Afadhali kuingia katika utawala wa Mungu ukiwa na jicho moja tu, kuliko kuwa na macho yako yote mawili na kutupwa katika moto wa Jehanamu.

⁴⁸where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched;

⁴⁸Humo wadudu wake hawafi, na moto hauzimiki.

⁴⁹for every one with fire shall be salted, and every sacrifice with salt shall be salted.

⁴⁹"Maana kila mmoja atakolezwa kwa moto.

⁵⁰The salt [is] good, but if the salt may become saltless, in what will ye season [it]? Have in yourselves salt, and have peace in one another.`

⁵⁰Chumvi ni nzuri, lakini ikipoteza ladha yake, itakolezwa na nini? Muwe na chumvi ndani yenu na kudumisha amani kati yenu."
