Matthew 16
1 Then came the Pharises and Sadduces, and did tempt him, desiring him to shew them a signe from heauen.
Mafarisayo na Masadukayo walimjia na kumjaribu Yesu awaonyeshe ishara inayotoka angani.
2 But he answered, and said vnto them, When it is euening, ye say, Faire wether: for ye skie is red.
Lakini Yesu aliwajibu na kuwaambia kuwa “Ikiwa ni jioni mnasema kuwa hali ya hewa ni nzuri, kwa kuwa anga ni jekundu.
3 And in the morning ye say, To day shall be a tempest: for the skie is red and lowring. O hypocrites, ye can discerne the face of the skie, and can ye not discerne the signes of the times?
Na asubuhi mnasema 'Hali ya hewa leo si nzuri kwa kuwa anga ni jekundu na mawingu yameifunika anga lote.' Mnajua kufasiri mwonekano wa anga, lakini hamwezi kufasiri ishara za nyakati.
4 The wicked generation, and adulterous seeketh a signe, but there shall no signe be giuen it, but that signe of the Prophet Ionas: so hee left them, and departed.
Kizazi kiovu na cha uzinzi kinatafuta ishara, lakini hakuna ishara yoyote kitakachopewa, isipokuwa ile ya Yona. Kisha Yesu akawaacha na akaenda zake.
5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread with them.
Wanafunzi wakaja upande wa pili, lakini walikuwa wamesahau kuchukua mikate.
6 Then Iesus said vnto them, Take heede and beware of the leauen of the Pharises and Sadduces.
Yesu akawaambia “Jitahadharini na iweni makini na chachu ya Mafarisayo na Masadukayo.”
7 And they reasoned among themselues, saying, It is because we haue brought no bread.
Wanafunzi wakahojiana miongoni mwao na kusema. “Ni kwa sababu hatukuchukua mikate.”
8 But Iesus knowing it, saide vnto them, O ye of litle faith, why reason you thus among your selues, because ye haue brought no bread?
Yesu alitambua hilo na kusema, “Enyi wenye imani ndogo, kwa nini mmewaza na kusemezana miongoni mwenu na kusema kuwa ni kwa sababu hamkuchukua mikate?
9 Doe ye not yet perceiue, neither remember the fiue loaues, when there were fiue thousand men, and how many baskets tooke ye vp?
Je bado hamtambui wala hamkumbuki ile mikate mitano kwa watu elfu tano, na vikapu vingapi mlivyokusanya?
10 Neither the seuen loaues when there were foure thousande men, and howe many baskets tooke ye vp?
Au mikate saba kwa watu elfu nne, na ni vikapu vingapi mlikuchukua?
11 Why perceiue ye not that I said not vnto you concerning bread, that ye shoulde beware of the leauen of the Pharises and Sadduces?
Imekuwaje kuwa hata hamuelewi ya kuwa nilikuwa sizungumzi nanyi juu ya mikate? Jitunzeni na jihadharini na chachu ya Mafarisayo na Masadukayo.”
12 Then vnderstood they that he had not said that they should beware of the leauen of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharises, and Sadduces.
Kisha wakatambua kuwa alikuwa hawaambii juu ya kujihadhari na mikate iliyo na chachu, bali kujihadhari na mafundisho ya Mafarisayo na Masadukayo.
13 Nowe when Iesus came into the coastes of Cesarea Philippi, hee asked his disciples, saying, Whome doe men say that I, the sonne of man am?
Wakati Yesu alipofika sehemu za Kaisaria ya Filipi, akawauliza wanafunzi wake, akisema, “Watu wanasema kuwa Mwana wa Mtu ni nani?”
14 And they said, Some say, Iohn Baptist: and some, Elias: and others, Ieremias, or one of the Prophets.
Wakasema,” Wengine husema kuwa ni Yohana Mbatizaji; wengine, Eliya; na wengine, Yeremia, au mojawapo wa manabii.
15 He said vnto them, But whome say ye that I am?
Akawaambia, ninyi mwasema mimi ni nani?
16 Then Simon Peter answered, and said, Thou art that Christ, the Sonne of the liuing God.
Kwa akijibu, Simoni Petro akasema, “Wewe ni Kristo Mwana wa Mungu aliye hai”
17 And Iesus answered, and saide to him, Blessed art thou, Simon, the sonne of Ionas: for flesh and blood hath not reueiled it vnto thee, but my Father which is in heauen.
Yesu akamjibu na kumwambia, “Umebarikiwa wewe, Simoni Bar Yona, kwa kuwa damu na nyama havikukufunulia hili, bali Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.
18 And I say also vnto thee, that thou art Peter, and vpon this rocke I will builde my Church: and ye gates of hell shall not ouercome it. (Hadēs g86)
Nami pia ninakwambia kuwa wewe ni Petro, na juu ya mwamba huu nitalijenga kanisa langu. Milango ya kuzimu haitalishinda. (Hadēs g86)
19 And I will giue vnto thee the keyes of the kingdome of heauen, and whatsoeuer thou shalt binde vpon earth, shalbe bound in heauen: and whatsoeuer thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heauen.
Nitakupa wewe funguo za ufalme wa mbinguni. Chochote utakachokifunga duniani kitakuwa kimefungwa mbinguni, na chochote utakachokifungua duniani kitafunguliwa na mbinguni.”
20 Then hee charged his disciples, that they should tell no man that he was Iesus that Christ.
Kisha Yesu akawaamuru wanafunzi wasimwambie mtu yeyote kuwa yeye alikuwa ni Kristo.
21 From that time foorth Iesus beganne to shewe vnto his disciples, that he must goe vnto Hierusalem, and suffer many thinges of the Elders, and of the hie Priestes, and Scribes, and be slaine, and be raised againe the thirde day.
Tangu wakati huo Yesu alianza kuwaambia wanafunzi kuwa ni lazima aende Yerusalemu, kuteswa kwa mambo mengi katika mikono ya wazee na wakuu wa makuhani na waandishi, kuuawa na kufufuka siku ya tatu.
22 Then Peter tooke him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, Master, pitie thy selfe: this shall not be vnto thee.
Kisha Petro akamchukua Yesu pembeni na kumkemea, kwa kusema, “Jambo hili na liwe mbali nawe, Bwana, hili lisitokee kwako.
23 Then he turned backe, and said vnto Peter, Get thee behinde me, Satan: thou art an offence vnto me, because thou vnderstandest not the thinges that are of God, but the thinges that are of men.
Lakini Yesu akageuka na kumwambia Petro, “Rudi nyuma yangu shetani! Wewe ni kizuizi kwangu, kwa maana hujali mambo ya Mungu, bali mambo ya wanadamu.”
24 Iesus then saide to his disciples, If any man will follow me, let him forsake himselfe: and take vp his crosse, and follow me.
Kisha Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Kama mtu yeyote akitaka kunifuata mimi, ni lazima ajikane yeye mwenyewe, auchukue msalaba wake, na anifuate.
25 For whosoeuer will saue his life, shall lose it: and whosoeuer shall lose his life for my sake, shall finde it.
Kwa kuwa anayetaka kuyaokoa maisha yake atayapoteza, na kwa yeyote anayepoteza maisha yake kwa ajili yangu atayaokoa.
26 For what shall it profite a man though he should winne the whole worlde, if hee lose his owne soule? or what shall a man giue for recompence of his soule?
Je! Ni faida gani atakayopata mtu akipata dunia yote lakini akapoteza maisha yake? Je! Ni kitu gani atakachotoa mtu katika kubadilishana na maisha yake?
27 For the Sonne of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his Angels, and then shall he giue to euery man according to his deedes.
Kwa kuwa Mwana wa Adamu atakuja katika utukufu wa Baba yake na malaika wake. Naye atamlipa kila mtu kulingana na matendo yake.
28 Verely I say vnto you, there bee some of them that stande here, which shall not taste of death, till they haue seene the Sonne of man come in his kingdome.
Kweli nawaambieni kuna baadhi yenu mliosimama hapa ambao hawataonja mauti mpaka watakapomwona Mwana wa Adamu akija katika ufalme wake.
