Matthew 17
1 And after sixe dayes, Iesus tooke Peter, and Iames and Iohn his brother, and brought them vp into an hie mountaine apart,
Siku sita baada ya jambo hili, Yesu akawachukua Petro, Yakobo na Yohana ndugu yake Yakobo, akawapeleka juu ya mlima mrefu peke yao.
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the Sunne, and his clothes were as white as the light.
Wakiwa huko, Yesu alibadilika sura mbele yao. Uso wake ukangʼaa kama jua na nguo zake zikawa na weupe wa kuumiza macho.
3 And beholde, there appeared vnto them Moses, and Elias, talking with him.
Ghafula wakawatokea mbele yao Mose na Eliya, wakizungumza na Yesu.
4 Then answered Peter, and saide to Iesus, Master, it is good for vs to be here: if thou wilt, let vs make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
Ndipo Petro akamwambia Yesu, “Bwana, ni vyema sisi tukae hapa. Ukitaka, nitafanya vibanda vitatu: kimoja chako, kingine cha Mose na kingine cha Eliya.”
5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloude shadowed them: and beholde, there came a voyce out of the cloude, saying, This is that my beloued Sonne, in whom I am well pleased: heare him.
Petro alipokuwa angali ananena, ghafula wingu lililongʼaa likawafunika, na sauti ikatoka kwenye hilo wingu ikisema, “Huyu ni Mwanangu mpendwa. Ninapendezwa naye sana. Msikieni yeye.”
6 And when the disciples heard that, they fell on their faces, and were sore afraide.
Wanafunzi waliposikia haya, wakaanguka chini kifudifudi, wakajawa na hofu.
7 Then Iesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraide.
Lakini Yesu akaja na kuwagusa, akawaambia, “Inukeni na wala msiogope.”
8 And when they lifted vp their eyes, they sawe no man, saue Iesus onely.
Walipoinua macho yao, hawakumwona mtu mwingine yeyote isipokuwa Yesu.
9 And as they came downe from the moutaine, Iesus charged them, saying, Shewe the vision to no man, vntil the Sonne of man rise againe from the dead.
Walipokuwa wakishuka kutoka mlimani, Yesu akawaagiza, “Msimwambie mtu yeyote mambo mliyoyaona hapa, mpaka Mwana wa Adamu atakapofufuliwa kutoka kwa wafu.”
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the Scribes that Elias must first come?
Wale wanafunzi wakamuuliza, “Kwa nini basi walimu wa sheria husema kwamba ni lazima Eliya aje kwanza?”
11 And Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Certeinely Elias must first come, and restore all thinges.
Yesu akawajibu, “Ni kweli, Eliya lazima aje kwanza, naye atatengeneza mambo yote.
12 But I say vnto you that Elias is come alreadie, and they knewe him not, but haue done vnto him whatsoeuer they would: likewise shall also the Sonne of man suffer of them.
Lakini nawaambia, Eliya amekwisha kuja, nao hawakumtambua, bali walimtendea kila kitu walichotaka. Vivyo hivyo Mwana wa Adamu pia atateswa mikononi mwao.”
13 Then the disciples perceiued that he spake vnto them of Iohn Baptist.
Ndipo wale wanafunzi wakaelewa kuwa alikuwa anazungumza nao habari za Yohana Mbatizaji.
14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certaine man, and fell downe at his feete,
Walipofika penye umati wa watu, mtu mmoja akamjia Yesu na kupiga magoti mbele yake, akasema,
15 And saide, Master, haue pitie on my sonne: for he is lunatike, and is sore vexed: for oft times he falleth into the fire, and oft times into the water.
“Bwana, mhurumie mwanangu. Yeye ana kifafa na anateseka sana. Mara kwa mara huanguka kwenye moto au kwenye maji.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not heale him.
Nilimleta kwa wanafunzi wako, lakini hawakuweza kumponya.”
17 Then Iesus answered, and said, O generation faithlesse, and crooked, how long now shall I be with you! howe long nowe shall I suffer you! bring him hither to me.
Yesu akajibu, “Enyi kizazi kisichoamini na kilichopotoka! Nitakaa nanyi mpaka lini? Nitawavumilia mpaka lini? Mleteni mvulana hapa kwangu.”
18 And Iesus rebuked the deuill, and he went out of him: and the childe was healed at that houre.
Yesu akamkemea yule pepo mchafu, akamtoka yule kijana, naye akapona saa ile ile.
19 Then came the disciples to Iesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
Kisha wanafunzi wakamwendea Yesu wakiwa peke yao, wakamuuliza, “Kwa nini sisi hatukuweza kumtoa?”
20 And Iesus said vnto them, Because of your vnbeliefe: for verely I say vnto you, if ye haue faith as much as is a graine of mustarde seede, ye shall say vnto this mountaine, Remooue hence to yonder place, and it shall remoue: and nothing shalbe vnpossible vnto you.
Akawajibu, “Kwa sababu ya imani yenu ndogo. Ninawaambia kweli, mkiwa na imani ndogo kama punje ya haradali, mtauambia mlima huu, ‘Ondoka hapa uende pale,’ nao utaondoka. Wala hakutakuwa na jambo lisilowezekana kwenu. [
21 Howbeit this kinde goeth not out, but by prayer and fasting.
Lakini hali kama hii haitoki ila kwa kuomba na kufunga.]”
22 And they being in Galile, Iesus said vnto them, The Sonne of man shall be deliuered into the handes of men,
Siku moja walipokuwa pamoja huko Galilaya, Yesu akawaambia, “Mwana wa Adamu atasalitiwa na kutiwa mikononi mwa watu.
23 And they shall kill him, but the thirde day shall he rise againe: and they were very sorie.
Nao watamuua, lakini siku ya tatu atafufuliwa.” Wanafunzi wakahuzunika sana.
24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that receiued polle money, came to Peter, and sayd, Doeth not your Master pay polle money?
Baada ya Yesu na wanafunzi wake kufika Kapernaumu, wakusanya kodi ya Hekalu wakamjia Petro na kumuuliza, “Je, Mwalimu wenu halipi kodi ya Hekalu?”
25 He sayd, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Iesus preuented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? Of whome doe the Kings of the earth take tribute, or polle money? of their children, or of strangers?
Petro akajibu, “Ndiyo, yeye hulipa.” Petro aliporudi nyumbani, Yesu akawa wa kwanza kulizungumzia, akamuuliza, “Unaonaje Simoni? Wafalme wa dunia hupokea ushuru na kodi kutoka kwa nani? Je, ni kutoka kwa watoto wao au kutoka kwa watu wengine?”
26 Peter sayd vnto him, Of strangers. Then said Iesus vnto him, Then are the children free.
Petro akamjibu, “Kutoka kwa watu wengine.” Yesu akamwambia, “Kwa hiyo watoto wao wamesamehewa.
27 Neuerthelesse, lest we should offend them: goe to the sea, and cast in an angle, and take the first fish that commeth vp, and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt finde a piece of twentie pence: that take, and giue it vnto them for me and thee.
Lakini ili tusije tukawaudhi, nenda baharini ukatupe ndoana. Mchukue samaki wa kwanza utakayemvua. Fungua kinywa chake nawe utakuta humo fedha, ichukue ukalipe kodi yako na yangu.”
