Matthew 17
1 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and leadeth them up into a high mountain apart.
Pagapititi mashaka sita Yesu kamtoliti Peteru na Yakobu na Yohani mlongu gakuwi kagenda nawa gweka yawu kulugongu lutalipa.
2 And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun; and his garments became white as the light.
Aku pawaweriti wakumlola Yesu kagalambuka sheni, sheni shakuwi shiweriti ndaa gambira mshenji na nguwu zyakuwi ziwera neru mbuu.
3 And lo! there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.
Shakapanu wafundwa watatu walii wawawoniti Musa na Eliya pawayowera na Yesu.
4 And Peter answering said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here; if thou wilt, I will make here three tents; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
Su Peteru kamgambira Yesu, “Mtuwa, iherepa nentu twenga twapanu, pagufira hanyawi visasa vitatu, shimu shaku na shamonga sha Musa na shamonga sha Eliya.”
5 While he was yet speaking, lo! a bright cloud overshadowed them; and lo! a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; hear him.”
Pakaweriti kankali kankutakula hangu, liwundu lifufu limgubikira na liziwu lipikanika kulawa muliwundi ali palilonga, “Ayu ndo mwana gwangu yanumfira nentu nherepeziwa nayomberi, mumpikaniri.”
6 And the disciples hearing it, fell on their face, and were exceedingly afraid.
Wafundwa pawapikaniriti aga watiliti nentu, su wasuntama makukama.
7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
Yesu kawagendera kawashinkula pakalonga, “Namtira, mgoloki!”
8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.
Pawaloliti wawona ndiri muntu gwingi kumbiti Yesu gweka yakuwi.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell what hath been seen to no one, until the Son of man hath risen from the dead.
Pawaweriti wankusuluka kulugongu Yesu kawaberiziya nawamgambira muntu vitwatira yawaviwoniti mpaka Mwana gwa Muntu pawamzyukisiya kulawa kwa wahowiti.
10 And the disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come?
Shakapanu wafundwa wakuwi wamkosiya, “Iwera hashi wafunda wa Malagaliru wankutakula eti mpaka Eliya kizi huti?”
11 And he answering said, Elijah indeed cometh, and will restore all things.
Yesu kawankula, “Nakaka, Eliya hakizi kunyawa vitwatira yoseri.
12 But I say to you, that Elijah hath already come, and they knew him not, but did with him whatever they would. So also is the Son of man to suffer by them.
Nukugambirani kuwera Eliya kiza kala na wantu wammana ndiri, kumbiti wamtendera vyawafiriti weni. Mwana gwa Muntu hawambeziyi ntambu ira ayi mumawoku gawu.”
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptist.
Peni panu wafundwa wavimana kuwera yomberi kaweriti kankuwagambira weni kuusu Yohani Mbatiza.
14 And when they had come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
Pawawuyiti mulipinga lya wantu, muntu yumu kamgendera Yesu na kamsuntamalira,
15 Lord, have compassion on my son; for he is a lunatic, and is sorely afflicted; for he often falleth into the fire, and often into the water.
na kalonga, “Mtuwa, gumwoneri lusungu mwana gwana! Yomberi kana shisirika, kayi mwana gwangu katabika nentu mala zitangala kaguwira mumotu ama mumashi.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
Numjega kwa wafundwa waku, kumbiti waweza ndiri kumponiziya.”
17 Then Jesus answering said, Unbelieving and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him hither to me.
Yesu kawankula, “Shiyiwuku ashi shahera moyu na shipotoka! Hanulikali na mwenga mpaka ndii? Munjegeri panu mwana ayu!”
18 And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him; and the boy was cured from that hour.
Yesu kamkalipira shamshera ulii, na shamshera kamlawa na mwana ulii kawera mkomu palaa palii.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast it out?
Shakapanu wafundwa wakuwi wamgendera Yesu pahala pagweka wamkosiya, “Iwera hashi twenga tusinda kumwusiya shamshera ulii.”
20 And he said to them, Because of your want of faith. For truly do I say to you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place, and it will remove; and nothing will be impossible to you.
Yesu kawankula, “Toziya mwahera njimiru, nuwagambira nakaka pamuwera na njimiru gambira mbeyu ndidini nentu, hamuwezi kulugambira lugongu alu, ‘Guwuki panu gugendi palii!’ Na lugongu alu halugendi. Haguwezi kutenda shitwatila shoseri!”
Kumbiti kwa kuluwa na kufunga mweza kuwalaviya washamshera awa, kwahera shintu shingi shiweza.
22 And while they were together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
Wafundwa pawaliwoniti pamuhera Galilaya, Yesu kawagambira, “Mwana gwa Muntu hawamupanani kwa wantu
23 and they will put him to death; and on the third day he will rise again. And they were greatly grieved.
na hawamlagi, kumbiti lishaka lya tatu kwanjira kuhowa kwakuwi hakazyuki.” Wafundwa waweriti na ushiwa nentu.
24 And when they had come to Capernaum, those who received the half-shekel came to Peter, and said, Doth not your teacher pay the half-shekel?
Yesu pamuhera na wafundwa wakuwi pawasokiti Kafarinaumu, watola mpiya za zaka za Numba nkulu ya Mlungu wamgenderiti Peteru na wamkosiya, “Hashi mfunda gwenu kalipa mpiya za zaka za Numba nkulu ya Mlungu?”
25 He saith, Yes. And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? Of whom do the kings of the earth take customs or taxes? Of their own sons, or of strangers?
Peteru kawankula, “Yina!” Su Peteru pakayingiriti mnumba, pamberi kanetakuli shisoweru shoseri, Yesu kamkosiya, “Simoni gwengapa guwona ashi, wafalumi wa pasipanu watola ushuru ama kodi kwa ashina gaa? Kulawa kwa wenikaya ama kwa wahenga?”
26 And when he said, Of strangers, Jesus said to him, Then are the sons free.
Peteru kawankula, “Kulawa kwa wahenga.” Yesu kamgambira, “Iherepa!, Su wenikaya wawusika ndiri kulipa.
27 But that we may not give them offence, go to the lake, and cast a hook, and take the fish that first cometh up; and on opening his mouth, thou wilt find a shekel; take that, and give it to them for me and thee.
Kumbiti wantu awa nawatuwona twenga twawadoda. Su mgendi kulitanda mwakalopoli somba. Somba gwa kwanja kumlopola, gugubuturi mlomu gwakuwi na haguwoni mpiya zazitosha kulipira zaka yangu na mwenga. Guzitoli na gulipi kodi zyetu.”
