¹And he said to them, Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste death until they shall have seen the kingdom of God 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 Jesus takes with [him] Peter and James and John, and takes them up on a high mountain by themselves apart. 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 shining, exceeding white [as snow], such as fuller on earth could not whiten [them].

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

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

⁴Eliya na Mose wakawatokea, wakazungumza na Yesu.

⁵And Peter answering says to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good that we should be here; and let us make three tabernacles, for thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elias 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 knew not what he should say, for they were filled with fear.

⁶Yeye na wenzake waliogopa hata hakujua la kusema.

⁷And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, *This* is my beloved Son: hear him.

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

⁸And suddenly having looked around, they no longer saw any one, but Jesus alone with themselves.

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

⁹And as they descended from the mountain, he charged them that they should relate to no one what they had seen, unless when the Son of man should be risen from among [the] dead.

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

¹⁰And they kept that saying, questioning among themselves, what rising from among [the] dead was.

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

¹¹And they asked him saying, Why do the scribes say that Elias must first have come?

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

¹²And he answering said to them, Elias indeed, having first come, restores all things; and how is it written of the Son of man that he must suffer much, 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 unto you that Elias also is come, and they have done to him whatever they would, as it is written of him.

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

¹⁴And when he came to the disciples he saw a great crowd around them, and scribes disputing against them.

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

¹⁵And immediately all the crowd seeing him were amazed, and running to [him], saluted him.

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

¹⁶And he asked them, What do ye question with them about?

¹⁶Yesu akawauliza, "Mnajadiliana nini nao?"

¹⁷And one out of the crowd answered him, Teacher, I brought to thee my son, who has a dumb spirit;

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

¹⁸and wheresoever it seizes him it tears him, and he foams and gnashes his teeth, and he is withering away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they might cast him out, and they could not.

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."

¹⁹But he answering them says, O unbelieving generation! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me.

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

²⁰And they brought him to him. And seeing him the spirit immediately tore him; and falling upon the earth he rolled 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 asked his father, How long a time is it that it has been like this with him? And he said, From childhood;

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

²²and often it has cast him both into fire and into waters that it might destroy him: but if thou couldst [do] anything, be moved with pity on us, and help us.

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

²³And Jesus said to him, The 'if thou couldst' is [if thou couldst] believe: all things are possible to him that believes.

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

²⁴And immediately the father of the young child crying out said [with tears], I believe, help mine unbelief.

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

²⁵But Jesus, seeing that [the] crowd was running up together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, *I* command thee, come out of him, and enter no more 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 out and torn [him] much, he came out; and he became as if dead, so that the most said, He is dead.

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

²⁷But Jesus, having taken hold of him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.

²⁷Lakini Yesu akamshika mkono, akamwinua, naye akasimama.

²⁸And when he was entered into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Wherefore could not *we* cast him out?

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

²⁹And he said to them, This kind can go out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.

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

³⁰And going forth from thence they went through Galilee; and he would not that any one knew it;

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

³¹for he taught his disciples and said to them, The Son of man is delivered into men's hands, and they shall kill him; and having been killed, after three days he shall rise again.

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 understood not the saying, and feared to ask him.

³²Wanafunzi hawakufahamu jambo hilo. Wakaogopa kumwuliza.

³³And he came to Capernaum, and being in the house, he asked them, Of what were ye reasoning by the way?

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

³⁴And they remained silent, for by the way they had been reasoning with one another who [was] greatest.

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

³⁵And sitting down he called the twelve; and he says to them, If any one would 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 taking a little child he set it in their midst, and having taken it in his arms he said to them,

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

³⁷Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receives me; and whosoever shall receive me, does 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 answered him saying, Teacher, we saw some one casting out demons in thy name, who does not follow us, and we forbad him, because he does not follow us.

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

³⁹But Jesus said, Forbid him not; for there is no one who shall do a miracle in my name, and be able soon [after] to speak ill 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 whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in [my] name, because ye are Christ's, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

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

⁴²And whosoever shall be a snare to one of the little ones who believe [in me], it were better for him if a millstone were hung about his neck, and he 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.

⁴³And if thy hand serve as a snare to thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having thy two hands to go away into hell, into the fire unquenchable;

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

⁴⁴[where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched].

⁴⁴Humo, wadudu wake hawafi na moto hauzimiki.

⁴⁵And if thy foot serve as a snare to thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life lame, than having thy two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire 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.

⁴⁶[where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched].

⁴⁶Humo, wadudu wake hawafi na moto hauzimiki.

⁴⁷And if thine eye serve as a snare to thee, cast it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of 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 dies not, and the fire is not quenched.

⁴⁸Humo wadudu wake hawafi, na moto hauzimiki.

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

⁴⁹"Maana kila mmoja atakolezwa kwa moto.

⁵⁰Salt [is] good, but if the salt is become saltless, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.

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