Matayo 17
1 Magono sita baadaye Yesu abhatolili pamonga nu muene Petro, ni Yakobo, ni Yohana ndongomunu, na akabhatola mpaka panani pa kid'onda kitali bhabhu bhene.
And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart:
2 Abadilisibhu mb'ele j'ha bhene. Pamihu pa muene pang'areghe kama lij'hobha, ni ngobho sya muene syabhonekene kung'ara kama nuru.
and he was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his garments became white as the light.
3 Langai, pala bhakatokili Musa ni Eliya bhakaj'habhilongela nakhu.
And behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him.
4 Petro akajibu ni kun'jobhela Yesu, “Bwana, ni kinofu kwa tete kuj'ha mahali apa. Kama ghwinoghela, nibetakujenga fibanda fidatu - kimonga kya bhebhe, ni kimonga kwa ndabha j'ha Musa, ni kimonga kwa ndabha j'ha Eliya.”
And Peter answered, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, I will make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
5 Bhwakati ilongela, langai libhengu libhalafu likabhafunika na langai, na j'hikah'omela sauti mulibhengu, j'hijobha, “Oj'ho ndo Mwanabhangu n'ganwa j'han'hobhwiki naghu. Mump'elekisiaghe muene.”
While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
6 Bhanafunzi bho bhap'heliki aghu bhakabina kifudifudi na bhakatila sana.
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
7 Kisha Yesu akahida akabhakamula ni kujobha, “Muj'hinukayi musitili.”
And Jesus came and touched them and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
8 Ni bhene bhakaj'hinula nyuso sya bhene kunani lakini bhambwene lepi munu isipokuj'ha Yesu muene.
And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, save Jesus only.
9 Na bhobhiselela pa kid'onda, Yesu akalaghisya, akajobha, “Musih'omesi habari ya maono agha mpaka Mwana ghwa Adamu paibetakufufuka kuhoma kwa bhafu.”
And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen from the dead.
10 Bhanafunzi bha muene bhakan'kota bhakajobha, “Kwa ndabha j'ha kiki bhaandishi bhijobha kuj'ha Eliya ibetakuhida hoti?
And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come?
11 Yesu akabhajibu nikujobha, “Eliya ibetakuhida kweli na ibetakukherebhusya mambo ghoha.
And he answered and said, Elijah indeed cometh, and shall restore all things:
12 Lakini nikabhajobhela muenga, Eliya amali kuhida, lakini bhakammanyi lepi. Baada j'hiake, bhambombili mambo gha bhitonda bhene. Na efyo ndo Mwana ghwa Adamu kyaibetakutesibhwa mu mabhokho gha bhene.
but I say unto you, that Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but did unto him whatsoever they listed. Even so shall the Son of man also suffer of them.
13 Ndipo bhanafunzi bhakatambula kuj'ha alongeleghe habari sya Yohana Mbatizaji.
Then understood the disciples that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
14 Bhobhafikiri mu bhumati bhwa bhanu munu mmonga akabhalotela, akapiga magoti mbele sya muene, ni kun'jobhela,
And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling to him, and saying,
15 “Bwana, un'hurumilayi mwanabhangu, maana aj'hele ni kifafa ni kuteseka sana. Kwa kuj'ha mara nyingi ibina mu muoto au mu masi.
Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is epileptic, and suffereth grievously: for oft-times he falleth into the fire, and oft-times into the water.
16 Nandetili kwa bhanafunzi bha jhobi, lakini bhabhwesilepi kumponya.
And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17 Yesu akajibu akajobha, “Enyi kizazi kyaibetakukiera na kyakiharibiki nibetakutama ni muenga mpaka? Nibeta kuvumililana ni muenga mpaka ndali? Mundetayi apa kwa nene.”
And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him hither to me.
18 Yesu akam'b'enga, ni pepo likabhoka. Nsongolo aponyisibhu kuh'omela lisaa lela.
And Jesus rebuked him; and the devil went out from him: and the boy was cured from that hour.
19 Kisha bhanafunzi bhakan'kesya Yesu kwa siri ni kun'kota, “Kwa ndabha j'ha kiki twabhwesilepi kumb'enga?”
Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast it out?
20 Yesu akabhajobhela, “Kwa ndabha j'ha imani j'hinu ndebe. Kweli nikabhajobhela, kama mwibetakuj'ha ni imani hata ndebe kama punje j'ha mbeyu ya haradali, mwibeta kubhwesya kuujobhela kid'onda ek'he, kihamaghe kuhomela pala kilotayi khola, ni bhuene bhwibeta kuhama na kubetakujha lepi ni khenu kyokyoha khela kya kushindikanika kwa muenga.
And he saith unto them, Because of your little faith: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
22 Bhwakati bhajele bado Galilaya, Yesu akabhajobhela Bhanafunzi bha muene, “Mwana ghwa Adamu ibetakubhakibhwa mu mabhoko gha bhanu.
And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men;
23 Na bhibetakun'koma, na ligono lya tatu ibetakufufuka.” Bhanafunzi bhahuzuniki sana.
and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were exceeding sorry.
24 Na bhene bho bhafikiri Kapenaumu, bhanu bhabhikhonganiya kodi j'ha nusu shekheli bhakandotela Petro ni kujobha, “Je mwalimu ghwa muenga e'lepa kodi j'ha nusu shekheli?”
And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received the half-shekel came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay the half-shekel?
25 Akajobha, “Ena” Lakini Petro bho aj'hingili mugati mu nyumba, Yesu akalongela ni Petro h'oti ni kujobha, “Ghwifikirira kiki Simoni? Bhafalme bha dunia, bhipokela kodi au bhshuru kuhomela kwa niani? Kwa bhala bhabhikabhatabhwala kuh'oma kwa bhahesya?
He saith, Yea. And when he came into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive toll or tribute? from their sons, or from strangers?
26 Na bhwakati Petro ajobhili, “Kuhoma kwa bhahesya” Yesu akabhajobhela, hivyo bhatawalibhwa bhabhosibhu mu bhul'epaji.
And when he said, From strangers, Jesus said unto him, Therefore the sons are free.
27 Lakini tusihidi kubhabhomba bhatoza ushuru bhakabhomba dhambi, lotaghe kubahari, sopayi ndobhani, na ulayi somba hosi. Baada ya kuufungula ndomo bhwake, ghibeta kuj'hikholela mo'la shekeli j'himonga. J'hitolayi na ubhapelayi bhatoza ushuru kwa ndabha j'ha nene ni bhebhe.
But, lest we cause them to stumble, go thou to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a shekel: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
