Matayu 17
1 Pagapititi mashaka sita Yesu kamtoliti Peteru na Yakobu na Yohani mlongu gakuwi kagenda nawa gweka yawu kulugongu lutalipa.
And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and doth bring them up to a high mount by themselves,
2 Aku pawaweriti wakumlola Yesu kagalambuka sheni, sheni shakuwi shiweriti ndaa gambira mshenji na nguwu zyakuwi ziwera neru mbuu.
and he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments did become white as the light,
3 Shakapanu wafundwa watatu walii wawawoniti Musa na Eliya pawayowera na Yesu.
and lo, appear to them did Moses and Elijah, talking together 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.”
And Peter answering said to Jesus, 'Sir, it is good to us to be here; if thou wilt, we may make here three booths — for thee one, and for Moses one, 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 is yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, 'This is My Son, — the Beloved, in whom I did delight; hear him.'
6 Wafundwa pawapikaniriti aga watiliti nentu, su wasuntama makukama.
And the disciples having heard, did fall upon their face, and were exceedingly afraid,
7 Yesu kawagendera kawashinkula pakalonga, “Namtira, mgoloki!”
and Jesus having come near, touched them, and said, 'Rise, be not afraid,'
8 Pawaloliti wawona ndiri muntu gwingi kumbiti Yesu gweka yakuwi.
and having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only.
9 Pawaweriti wankusuluka kulugongu Yesu kawaberiziya nawamgambira muntu vitwatira yawaviwoniti mpaka Mwana gwa Muntu pawamzyukisiya kulawa kwa wahowiti.
And as they are coming down from the mount, Jesus charged them, saying, 'Say to no one the vision, till the Son of Man out of the dead may rise.'
10 Shakapanu wafundwa wakuwi wamkosiya, “Iwera hashi wafunda wa Malagaliru wankutakula eti mpaka Eliya kizi huti?”
And his disciples questioned him, saying, 'Why then do the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first?'
11 Yesu kawankula, “Nakaka, Eliya hakizi kunyawa vitwatira yoseri.
And Jesus answering said to them, 'Elijah doth indeed come first, and shall restore all things,
12 Nukugambirani kuwera Eliya kiza kala na wantu wammana ndiri, kumbiti wamtendera vyawafiriti weni. Mwana gwa Muntu hawambeziyi ntambu ira ayi mumawoku gawu.”
and I say to you — Elijah did already come, and they did not know him, but did with him whatever they would, so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them.'
13 Peni panu wafundwa wavimana kuwera yomberi kaweriti kankuwagambira weni kuusu Yohani Mbatiza.
Then understood the disciples that concerning John the Baptist he spake to them.
14 Pawawuyiti mulipinga lya wantu, muntu yumu kamgendera Yesu na kamsuntamalira,
And when they came unto the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling down to him,
15 na kalonga, “Mtuwa, gumwoneri lusungu mwana gwana! Yomberi kana shisirika, kayi mwana gwangu katabika nentu mala zitangala kaguwira mumotu ama mumashi.
and saying, 'Sir, deal kindly with my son, for he is lunatic, and doth suffer miserably, for often he doth fall into the fire, and often into the water,
16 Numjega kwa wafundwa waku, kumbiti waweza ndiri kumponiziya.”
and I brought him near to thy disciples, and they were not able to heal him.'
17 Yesu kawankula, “Shiyiwuku ashi shahera moyu na shipotoka! Hanulikali na mwenga mpaka ndii? Munjegeri panu mwana ayu!”
And Jesus answering said, 'O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I bear you? bring him to me hither;'
18 Yesu kamkalipira shamshera ulii, na shamshera kamlawa na mwana ulii kawera mkomu palaa palii.
and Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and the lad was healed from that hour.
19 Shakapanu wafundwa wakuwi wamgendera Yesu pahala pagweka wamkosiya, “Iwera hashi twenga tusinda kumwusiya shamshera ulii.”
Then the disciples having come to Jesus by himself, said, 'Wherefore were we not able to cast him out?'
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!”
And Jesus said to them, 'Through your want of faith; for verily I say to you, if ye may have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mount, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible to you,
21 Kumbiti kwa kuluwa na kufunga mweza kuwalaviya washamshera awa, kwahera shintu shingi shiweza.
and this kind doth not go forth except in prayer and fasting.'
22 Wafundwa pawaliwoniti pamuhera Galilaya, Yesu kawagambira, “Mwana gwa Muntu hawamupanani kwa wantu
And while they are living in Galilee, Jesus said to them, 'The Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men,
23 na hawamlagi, kumbiti lishaka lya tatu kwanjira kuhowa kwakuwi hakazyuki.” Wafundwa waweriti na ushiwa nentu.
and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise,' and they were exceeding sorry.
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?”
And they having come to Capernaum, those receiving the didrachms came near to Peter, and said, 'Your teacher — doth he not pay the didrachms?' He saith, 'Yes.'
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?”
And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, 'What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth — from whom do they receive custom or poll-tax? from their sons or from the strangers?'
26 Peteru kawankula, “Kulawa kwa wahenga.” Yesu kamgambira, “Iherepa!, Su wenikaya wawusika ndiri kulipa.
Peter saith to him, 'From the strangers.' Jesus said to him, 'Then are the sons free;
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.”
but, that we may not cause them to stumble, having gone to the sea, cast a hook, and the fish that hath come up first take thou up, and having opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater, that having taken, give to them for me and thee.'
