Mathayo 16
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Mafarisayo na Masadukayo walimwendea Yesu, na kwa kumjaribu, wakamwomba afanye ishara itokayo mbinguni.
1And there came to him the Pharisees and Sadduccees tempting: and they asked him to shew them a sign from heaven.
2Lakini Yesu akawajibu, “Wakati wa jioni ukifika ninyi husema: Hali ya hewa itakuwa nzuri kwa maana anga ni jekundu!
2But he answered and said to them: When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.
3Na alfajiri mwasema: Leo hali ya hewa itakuwa ya dhoruba, maana anga ni jekundu na tena mawingu yametanda! Basi, ninyi mnajua sana kusoma majira kwa kuangalia anga, lakini kutambua dalili za nyakati hizi hamjui.
3And in the morning: Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and lowering. You know then how to discern the face of the sky: and can you not know the signs of the times?
4Kizazi kiovu kisicho na uaminifu! Mnataka ishara, lakini hamtapewa ishara yoyote isipokuwa tu ile ya Yona.” Basi, akawaacha, akaenda zake.
4A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. And he left them, and went away.
5Wanafunzi wake walipokwisha vukia upande wa pili wa ziwa, walijikuta wamesahau kuchukua mikate.
5And when his disciples were come over the water, they had forgotten to take bread.
6Yesu akawaambia, “Muwe macho na mjihadhari na chachu ya Mafarisayo na Masadukayo!”
6Who said to them: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
7Lakini wao wakawa wanajadiliana: “Anasema hivyo kwa kuwa hatukuchukua mikate.”
7But they thought within themselves, saying: Because we have taken no bread.
8Yesu alijua mawazo yao, akawaambia, “Enyi watu wenye imani haba! Mbona mnajadiliana juu ya kutokuwa na mikate?
8And Jesus knowing it, said: Why do you think within yourselves, O ye of little faith, for that you have no bread?
9Je, hamjaelewa bado? Je, hamkumbuki nilipoimega ile mikate mitano kwa ajili ya wale watu elfu tano? Je, mlijaza vikapu vingapi vya makombo?
9Do you not yet understand, neither do you remember the five loaves among five thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?
10Au, ile mikate saba waliyogawiwa wale watu elfu nne, je, mlikusanya vikapu vingapi vya mabaki?
10Nor the seven loaves among four thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?
11Inawezekanaje hamwelewi ya kwamba sikuwa nikisema juu ya mikate? Jihadharini na chachu ya Mafarisayo na Masadukayo!”
11Why do you not understand that it was not concerning the bread I said to you: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?
12Hapo wanafunzi wakafahamu kwamba aliwaambia wajihadhari siyo na chachu ya mikate, bali na mafundisho ya Mafarisayo na Masadukayo.
12Then they understood that he said not that they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13Yesu alipofika pande za Kaisarea Filipi, aliwauliza wanafunzi wake, “Watu wanasema Mwana wa Mtu kuwa ni nani?”
13And Jesus came into the quarters of Cesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that the Son of man is?
14Wakamjibu, “Wengine wanasema kuwa ni Yohane mbatizaji, wengine Eliya, wengine Yeremia au mmojawapo wa manabii.”
14But they said: Some John the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15Yesu akawauliza, “Na ninyi je, mwasema mimi ni nani?”
15Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am?
16Simoni Petro akajibu, “Wewe ndiwe Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu aliye hai.”
16Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God.
17Yesu akasema, “Heri wewe Simoni mwana wa Yona, kwa maana si binadamu aliyekufunulia ukweli huu, ila Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.
17And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.
18Nami nakwambia: wewe ni Petro, na juu ya mwamba huu nitalijenga kanisa langu; wala kifo chenyewe hakitaweza kulishinda.
18And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19Nitakupa funguo za Ufalme wa mbinguni; kila utakachofunga duniani, kitafungwa pia mbinguni; kila utakachofungua duniani, kitafunguliwa pia mbinguni.”
19And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.
20Kisha akawaonya wanafunzi wasimwambie mtu yeyote kwamba yeye ndiye Kristo.
20Then he commanded his disciples, that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.
21Tangu wakati huo Yesu alianza kuwajulisha waziwazi wanafunzi wake: “Ni lazima mimi niende Yerusalemu, na huko nikapate mateso mengi yatakayosababishwa na wazee, makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria. Nitauawa, na siku ya tatu nitafufuliwa.”
21From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the ancients and scribes and chief priests, and be put to death, and the third day rise again.
22Hapo Petro akamchukua kando, akaanza kumkemea: “Isiwe hivyo Bwana! Jambo hili halitakupata!”
22And Peter taking him, began to rebuke him, saying: Lord, be it far from thee, this shall not be unto thee.
23Lakini Yesu akageuka, akamwambia Petro, “Ondoka mbele yangu Shetani! Wewe ni kikwazo kwangu. Mawazo yako si ya mungu bali ni ya kibinadamu!”
23Who turning, said to Peter: Go behind me, Satan, thou art a scandal unto me: because thou savourest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.
24Kisha Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Kama mtu yeyote anataka kuwa mfuasi wangu, ni lazima ajikane mwenyewe, auchukue msalaba wake, anifuate.
24Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25Maana, mtu anayetaka kuyaokoa maisha yake mwenyewe, atayapoteza;
25For he that will save his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it.
26lakini mtu anayeyapoteza maisha yake kwa ajili yangu, atayapata. Je, mtu atafaidi nini akiupata utajiri wote wa ulimwengu na hali amepoteza maisha yake? Au, mtu atatoa kitu gani kiwe badala ya maisha yake?
26For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?
27Maana, Mwana wa Mtu atakuja katika utukufu wa Baba yake pamoja na malaika wake, na hapo ndipo atakapomlipa kila mtu kadiri ya matendo yake.
27For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels: and then will he render to every man according to his works.
28Kweli nawaambieni, wako wengine papahapa ambao hawatakufa kabla ya kumwona Mwana wa Mtu akija katika Ufalme wake.”
28Amen I say to you, there are some of them that stand here, that shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
