Matayu 17
1 Pagapititi mashaka sita Yesu kamtoliti Peteru na Yakobu na Yohani mlongu gakuwi kagenda nawa gweka yawu kulugongu lutalipa.
After six days, Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, brother of James, apart to the top of a high mountain,
2 Aku pawaweriti wakumlola Yesu kagalambuka sheni, sheni shakuwi shiweriti ndaa gambira mshenji na nguwu zyakuwi ziwera neru mbuu.
and was transfigured in their presence, His face shone as the sun; and his raiment became white as the light.
3 Shakapanu wafundwa watatu walii wawawoniti Musa na Eliya pawayowera na Yesu.
And presently appeared to them Moses and Elijah conversing with him.
4 Su Peteru kamgambira Yesu, “Mtuwa, iherepa nentu twenga twapanu, pagufira hanyawi visasa vitatu, shimu shaku na shamonga sha Musa na shamonga sha Eliya.”
Peter, upon this, addressing Jesus, said, Master, it is good for us to stay here; let us make here, if you will, three booths; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
5 Pakaweriti kankali kankutakula hangu, liwundu lifufu limgubikira na liziwu lipikanika kulawa muliwundi ali palilonga, “Ayu ndo mwana gwangu yanumfira nentu nherepeziwa nayomberi, mumpikaniri.”
While he was speaking, behold! a bright cloud covered them, and out of the cloud a voice came, which said, This is my Son, the beloved in whom I delight; hear him.
6 Wafundwa pawapikaniriti aga watiliti nentu, su wasuntama makukama.
The disciples, hearing this, fell upon their faces, and were greatly frightened.
7 Yesu kawagendera kawashinkula pakalonga, “Namtira, mgoloki!”
But Jesus came and touched them, saying, Arise; be not afraid.
8 Pawaloliti wawona ndiri muntu gwingi kumbiti Yesu gweka yakuwi.
Then lifting up their eyes, they saw none but Jesus.
9 Pawaweriti wankusuluka kulugongu Yesu kawaberiziya nawamgambira muntu vitwatira yawaviwoniti mpaka Mwana gwa Muntu pawamzyukisiya kulawa kwa wahowiti.
As they went down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell no person what you have seen, until the Son of Man rise from the dead.
10 Shakapanu wafundwa wakuwi wamkosiya, “Iwera hashi wafunda wa Malagaliru wankutakula eti mpaka Eliya kizi huti?”
Then the disciples asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elijah must come first?
11 Yesu kawankula, “Nakaka, Eliya hakizi kunyawa vitwatira yoseri.
Jesus answering, said to them, To consummate the whole, Elijah, indeed, must come first.
12 Nukugambirani kuwera Eliya kiza kala na wantu wammana ndiri, kumbiti wamtendera vyawafiriti weni. Mwana gwa Muntu hawambeziyi ntambu ira ayi mumawoku gawu.”
But I tell you, Elijah is come already, though they did not acknowledge him, but have treated him as they pleased. Thus they will treat the Son of Man also.
13 Peni panu wafundwa wavimana kuwera yomberi kaweriti kankuwagambira weni kuusu Yohani Mbatiza.
Then the disciple understood, that he spoke concerning John the Immerser.
14 Pawawuyiti mulipinga lya wantu, muntu yumu kamgendera Yesu na kamsuntamalira,
When they were come to the multitude, a man came to him, who kneeling, said,
15 na kalonga, “Mtuwa, gumwoneri lusungu mwana gwana! Yomberi kana shisirika, kayi mwana gwangu katabika nentu mala zitangala kaguwira mumotu ama mumashi.
Sir, have pity on my son; for he is grievously distressed with lunacy; often ge falls into the fire, and often into the water,
16 Numjega kwa wafundwa waku, kumbiti waweza ndiri kumponiziya.”
and I presented him to your disciples; but they could not cure him.
17 Yesu kawankula, “Shiyiwuku ashi shahera moyu na shipotoka! Hanulikali na mwenga mpaka ndii? Munjegeri panu mwana ayu!”
Jesus answering, said, O unbelieving and perverse race! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? Bring him hither to me.
18 Yesu kamkalipira shamshera ulii, na shamshera kamlawa na mwana ulii kawera mkomu palaa palii.
Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and he came out: and the lad was instantly cured.
19 Shakapanu wafundwa wakuwi wamgendera Yesu pahala pagweka wamkosiya, “Iwera hashi twenga tusinda kumwusiya shamshera ulii.”
At that time the disciple came to him privately, saying, Why could not we expel the demon?
20 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!”
Jesus answered, Because of your unbelief; for, indeed, I say to you, if you had faith, though but as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this mountain, Remove to yonder place, and it would remove: yes, nothing would be impossible to you.
21 Kumbiti kwa kuluwa na kufunga mweza kuwalaviya washamshera awa, kwahera shintu shingi shiweza.
This kind, however, is not dispossessed, unless by prayer and fasting.
22 Wafundwa pawaliwoniti pamuhera Galilaya, Yesu kawagambira, “Mwana gwa Muntu hawamupanani kwa wantu
While they remained in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of Man is to be delivered up to men,
23 na hawamlagi, kumbiti lishaka lya tatu kwanjira kuhowa kwakuwi hakazyuki.” Wafundwa waweriti na ushiwa nentu.
who will kill him: but the third day he shall be raised again. And they were grieved exceedingly.
24 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?”
When they were come to Capernaum, the collectors came and asked Peter, Does not your teacher pay the didrachma?
25 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?”
He said, Yes. Being come into the house, before he spoke, Jesus said to him, What is your opinion, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth exact tribute or custom? from their own sons, or from others?
26 Peteru kawankula, “Kulawa kwa wahenga.” Yesu kamgambira, “Iherepa!, Su wenikaya wawusika ndiri kulipa.
Peter answered, From others. Jesus replied, The sons then are exempted.
27 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.”
Nevertheless, lest we shall give them offense, go to the sea and throw a line, draw out the first fish that is hooked, and, having opened its mouth, you shall find a stater; take that, and give it to them for me and you.
