¹He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come!

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

² It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should 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 Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.

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

⁴ If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”

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

⁵The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

⁵Mitume wakamwambia Bwana, "Utuongezee imani."

⁶The Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey 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 there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say, when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table,’

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

⁸ and will not rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me, while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?

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

⁹ Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.

⁹Je utamshukuru huyo mtumishi kwa sababu ametimiza aliyoamriwa?

¹⁰ Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”

¹⁰Hali kadhalika na ninyi mkisha fanya yote mliyoamriwa, semeni: Sisi ni watumishi tusio na faida, tumetimiza tu yale tuliyotakiwa kufanya."

¹¹It happened as he was on his way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.

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

¹²As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.

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

¹³They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

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

¹⁴When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” It happened that as they went, they were cleansed.

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

¹⁵One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.

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

¹⁶He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.

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

¹⁷Jesus answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

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

¹⁸ Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this stranger?”

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

¹⁹Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you.”

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

²⁰Being asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The Kingdom of God doesn’t come with observation;

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

²¹ neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you.”

²¹Wala hakuna atakayeweza kusema, Uko hapa, au Uko pale. Kwa kweli Ufalme wa Mungu uko kati yenu."

²²He said to the disciples, “The days will come, when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

²²Halafu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, "Siku zinakuja ambapo mtatamani kuona mojawapo ya siku za Mwana wa Mtu, lakini hamtaiona.

²³ They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away, nor follow after them,

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

²⁴ for as the lightning, when it flashes out of the one part under the sky, shines to the other part under the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his day.

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

²⁵ But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

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

²⁶ As it happened in the days of Noah, even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man.

²⁶Kama ilivyokuwa nyakati za Noa, ndivyo itakavyokuwa katika siku za Mwana wa Mtu.

²⁷ They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

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

²⁸ Likewise, even as it happened in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

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

²⁹ but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky, and destroyed them all.

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

³⁰ It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.

³⁰Ndivyo itakavyokuwa siku ile Mwana wa Mtu atakapofunuliwa.

³¹ In that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.

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

³² Remember Lot’s wife!

³²Kumbukeni yaliyompata mke wa Loti.

³³ Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.

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

³⁴ I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. The one will be taken, and the other will be left.

³⁴Nawaambieni, siku ile usiku watu wawili watakuwa wanalala pamoja, mmoja atachukuliwa na yule mwingine ataachwa.

³⁵ There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken, and the other will be left.”

³⁵Wanawake wawili watakuwa wakisaga nafaka pamoja; mmoja atachukuliwa na mwingine ataachwa."

³⁶ Some Greek manuscripts add: “Two will be in the field: the one taken, and the other left.”

³⁶Watu wawili watakuwa shambani; mmoja atachukuliwa na mwingine ataachwa.

³⁷They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered together.”

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