¹And he arose from thence and cometh into the borders of Judaea and beyond the Jordan: and multitudes come together unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.

¹Yesu alitoka hapo akaenda mkoani Yudea na hata ng'ambo ya mto Yordani. Umati wa watu ukamwendea tena, naye akawafundisha tena kama ilivyokuwa desturi yake.

²And there came unto him Pharisees, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away [his] wife? trying him.

²Basi, Mafarisayo wakamwendea, na kwa kumjaribu wakamwuliza, "Je, ni halali mtu kumpa talaka mkewe?"

³And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?

³Yesu akawajibu, "Mose aliwapa maagizo gani?"

⁴And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.

⁴Nao wakasema, "Mose aliagiza mume kumpatia mkewe hati ya talaka na kumwacha."

⁵But Jesus said unto them, For your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.

⁵Yesu akawaambia, "Mose aliwaandikia amri hiyo kwa sababu ya ugumu wa mioyo yenu.

⁶But from the beginning of the creation, Male and female made he them.

⁶Lakini tangu kuumbwa ulimwengu, Mungu aliumba mwanamume na mwanamke.

⁷For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife;

⁷Hivyo mwanamume atawaacha baba yake na mama yake, ataungana na mkewe,

⁸and the two shall become one flesh: so that they are no more two, but one flesh.

⁸nao wawili watakuwa mwili mmoja. Kwa hiyo, wao si wawili tena bali mwili mmoja.

⁹What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

⁹Basi, alichounganisha Mungu, binadamu asitenganishe."

¹⁰And in the house the disciples asked him again of this matter.

¹⁰Walipoingia tena ndani ya nyumba, wanafunzi wake walimwuliza juu ya jambo hilo.

¹¹And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her:

¹¹Naye akawaambia, "Anayemwacha mkewe na kuoa mwingine, anazini dhidi ya mkewe.

¹²and if she herself shall put away her husband, and marry another, she committeth adultery.

¹²Na mwanamke anayemwacha mumewe na kuolewa na mwingine anazini."

¹³And they were bringing unto him little children, that he should touch them: and the disciples rebuked them.

¹³Watu walimletea Yesu watoto wadogo ili awaguse, lakini wanafunzi wakawakemea.

¹⁴But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me; forbid them not: for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.

¹⁴Yesu alipoona hivyo, alikasirika akawaambia, "Waacheni hao watoto waje kwangu, wala msiwazuie, kwa maana Ufalme wa Mungu ni kwa ajili ya watu walio kama watoto hawa.

¹⁵Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.

¹⁵Nawaambieni kweli, mtu yeyote asiyeupokea Ufalme wa Mungu kama mtoto mdogo hataingia katika Ufalme huo."

¹⁶And he took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands upon them.

¹⁶Kisha akawapokea watoto hao, akawawekea mikono, akawabariki.

¹⁷And as he was going forth into the way, there ran one to him, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

¹⁷Yesu alipoanza tena safari yake, mtu mmoja alimjia mbio, akapiga magoti mbele yake, akamwuliza, "Mwalimu mwema, nifanyeje ili niupate uzima wa milele?"

¹⁸And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good save one, [even] God.

¹⁸Yesu akamjibu, "Mbona unaniita mwema? Hakuna aliye mwema ila Mungu peke yake.

¹⁹Thou knowest the commandments, Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor thy father and mother.

¹⁹Unazijua amri: Usizini; Usiue; Usiibe; Usitoe ushahidi wa uongo; Usidanganye; Waheshimu baba na mama yako."

²⁰And he said unto him, Teacher, all these things have I observed from my youth.

²⁰Naye akamjibu, "Mwalimu, hayo yote nimeyazingatia tangu ujana wangu."

²¹And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

²¹Yesu akamtazama, akampenda, akamwambia, "Umepungukiwa na kitu kimoja: nenda ukauze vitu ulivyo navyo, uwape maskini, nawe utakuwa na hazina mbinguni; kisha njoo unifuate."

²²But his countenance fell at the saying, and he went away sorrowful: for he was one that had great possessions.

²²Aliposikia hayo, alisikitika, akaenda zake akiwa na huzuni, kwa maana alikuwa na mali nyingi.

²³And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

²³Yesu akatazama pande zote, akawaambia wanafunzi wake, "Jinsi gani itakavyokuwa vigumu kwa matajiri kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu!"

²⁴And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

²⁴Wanafunzi walishangazwa na maneno yake. Yesu akawaambia tena, "Watoto wangu, ni vigumu sana kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu!

²⁵It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁵Ni rahisi zaidi ngamia kupenya katika tundu la sindano, kuliko tajiri kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu."

²⁶And they were astonished exceedingly, saying unto him, Then who can be saved?

²⁶Wanafunzi wake wakashangaa sana wakaulizana, "Ni nani basi, atakayeweza kuokoka?"

²⁷Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.

²⁷Yesu akawatazama, akawaambia, "Kwa binadamu haiwezekani, lakini kwa Mungu si hivyo, maana kwa Mungu mambo yote huwezekana."

²⁸Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.

²⁸Petro akamwambia, "Na sisi je? Tumeacha yote, tukakufuata!"

²⁹Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the gospel's sake,

²⁹Yesu akasema, "Kweli nawaambieni, kila mtu aliyeacha nyumba, au ndugu, au dada, au mama, au baba, au watoto au mashamba kwa ajili yangu na kwa ajili ya Habari Njema,

³⁰but he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

³⁰atapokea mara mia zaidi wakati huu wa sasa nyumba, ndugu, dada, mama, watoto na mashamba pamoja na mateso; na katika wakati ujao atapokea uzima wa milele.

³¹But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last first.

³¹Lakini wengi walio wa kwanza watakuwa wa mwisho, na walio wa mwisho watakuwa wa kwanza."

³²And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were amazed; and they that followed were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were to happen unto him,

³²Basi, walikuwa njiani kwenda Yerusalemu, na Yesu alikuwa anawatangulia. Wanafunzi wake walijawa na hofu, na watu waliofuata waliogopa. Yesu akawachukua tena kando wale kumi na wawili, akaanza kuwaambia yale yatakayompata:

³³[saying], Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles:

³³"Sikilizeni! Tunakwenda Yerusalemu, na huko Mwana wa Mtu atakabidhiwa kwa makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria, nao watamhukumu auawe na kumkabidhi kwa watu wa mataifa.

³⁴and they shall mock him, and shall spit upon him, and shall scourge him, and shall kill him; and after three days he shall rise again.

³⁴Nao watamdhihaki; watamtemea mate, watampiga mijeledi na kumwua. Na baada ya siku tatu atafufuka."

³⁵And there come near unto him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying unto him, Teacher, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall ask of thee.

³⁵Yakobo na Yohane, wana wa Zebedayo, walimwendea Yesu wakamwambia, "Mwalimu, tunataka utufanyie kitu tutakachokuomba."

³⁶And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?

³⁶Yesu akawauliza, "Mnataka niwafanyie nini?"

³⁷And they said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on [thy] left hand, in thy glory.

³⁷Wakamjibu, "Uturuhusu tuketi mmoja upande wako wa kulia na mwingine upande wako wa kushoto katika utukufu wa Ufalme wako."

³⁸But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink? or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

³⁸Yesu akawaambia, "Hamjui mnachoomba! Je, mnaweza kunywa kikombe nitakachokunywa, au kubatizwa kama nitakavyobatizwa?"

³⁹And they said unto him, We are able. And Jesus said unto them, The cup that I drink ye shall drink; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:

³⁹Wakamjibu, "Tunaweza." Yesu akawaambia, "Kikombe nitakachokunywa mtakinywa kweli, na mtabatizwa kama nitakavyobatizwa.

⁴⁰but to sit on my right hand or on [my] left hand is not mine to give; but [it is for them] for whom it hath been prepared.

⁴⁰Lakini ni nani atakayeketi kulia au kushoto kwangu si wajibu wangu kupanga, bali nafasi hizo watapewa wale waliotayarishiwa."

⁴¹And when the ten heard it, they began to be moved with indignation concerning James and John.

⁴¹Wale wanafunzi wengine kumi waliposikia hayo, walianza kuchukizwa na Yakobo na Yohane.

⁴²And Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them.

⁴²Yesu akawaita, akawaambia, "Mnajua kwamba wale wanaofikiriwa kuwa watawala wa mataifa huwatawala watu wao kwa mabavu, na wakuu hao huwamiliki watu wao.

⁴³But it is not so among you: but whosoever would become great among you, shall be your minister;

⁴³Lakini kwenu isiwe hivyo, ila anayetaka kuwa mkuu kati yenu, sharti awe mtumishi wenu.

⁴⁴and whosoever would be first among you, shall be servant of all.

⁴⁴Anayetaka kuwa wa kwanza, sharti awe mtumishi wa wote.

⁴⁵For the Son of man also came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

⁴⁵Maana Mwana wa Mtu hakuja kutumikiwa, ila alikuja kutumikia, na kutoa maisha yake kuwa fidia ya watu wengi."

⁴⁶And they come to Jericho: and as he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the way side.

⁴⁶Basi, wakafika Yeriko, naye Yesu alipokuwa anatoka katika mji huo akiwa na wanafunzi wake pamoja na umati mkubwa wa watu, kipofu mwombaji aitwaye Bartimayo mwana wa Timayo alikuwa ameketi kando ya barabara.

⁴⁷And when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁷Aliposikia kwamba ni Yesu wa Nazareti aliyekuwa anapita mahali hapo, alianza kupaaza sauti, "Yesu, Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!"

⁴⁸And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁸Watu wengi walimkemea ili anyamaze, lakini yeye akazidi kupaaza sauti, "Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!"

⁴⁹And Jesus stood still, and said, Call ye him. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good cheer: rise, he calleth thee.

⁴⁹Yesu alisimama, akasema, "Mwiteni." Basi, wakamwita huyo kipofu, wakamwambia, "Jipe moyo! Simama, anakuita."

⁵⁰And he, casting away his garment, sprang up, and came to Jesus.

⁵⁰Naye akatupilia mbali vazi lake, akaruka juu, akamwendea Yesu.

⁵¹And Jesus answered him, and said, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And the blind man said unto him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.

⁵¹Yesu akamwuliza, "Unataka nikufanyie nini?" Huyo kipofu akamwambia, "Mwalimu, naomba nipate kuona."

⁵²And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And straightway he received his sight, and followed him in the way.

⁵²Yesu akamwambia, "Nenda, imani yako imekuponya." Mara huyo kipofu akaweza kuona, akamfuata Yesu njiani.
