¹And the Pharisees and Sadducees, coming to [him], asked him, tempting [him], to shew them a sign out of heaven.

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

²But he answering said to them, When evening is come, ye say, Fine 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, A storm to-day, for the sky is red [and] lowering; ye know [how] to discern the face of the sky, but ye cannot 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 seeks after a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it save the sign of Jonas. And he left them and went away.

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.

⁶And Jesus said to them, See and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

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

⁷And they reasoned among themselves, saying, Because we have taken no bread.

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

⁸And Jesus knowing [it], said, Why reason ye among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have taken no bread?

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

⁹Do ye not yet understand nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-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?

¹⁰nor 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 do ye not understand that [it was] not concerning bread I said to you, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

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

¹²Then they comprehended that he did not speak of being beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

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

¹³But when Jesus was come into the parts of Caesarea-Philippi, he demanded of his disciples, saying, Who 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, John the baptist; and others, Elias; and others again, Jeremias or one of the prophets.

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

¹⁵He says to them, But *ye*, who do ye say that I am?

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

¹⁶And Simon Peter answering said, *Thou* art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

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

¹⁷And Jesus answering said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona, for flesh and blood has not revealed [it] to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.

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

¹⁸And *I* also, I say unto thee that *thou* art Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and hades' gates 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 to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be bound in the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest loose on the earth shall be loosed in the heavens.

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

²⁰Then he enjoined on his disciples that they should say to no man that he was the Christ.

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

²¹From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples that he must go away to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised.

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."

²²And Peter taking him to [him] began to rebuke him, saying, [God] be favourable to thee, Lord; this shall in no wise be unto thee.

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

²³But turning round, he said to Peter, Get away behind me, Satan; thou art an offence to me, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are 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 Jesus said to his disciples, If any one desires to 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 shall desire to save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.

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

²⁶For what does a man profit, if he should gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his 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 is about to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to each according to his doings.

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 are some of those standing here that shall not taste of death at all until they shall have seen 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."
