Mathayo 17
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Baada ya siku sita, Yesu aliwachukua Petro, Yakobo na Yohane nduguye, akaenda nao peke yao juu ya mlima mrefu.
1And after six days Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart:
2Huko, wakiwa wanamtazama, akageuka sura, uso wake ukang'aa kama jua na mavazi yake yakawa meupe kama nuru.
2And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow.
3Mose na Eliya wakawatokea, wakawa wanazungumza naye.
3And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with him.
4Hapo Petro akamwambia Yesu, “Bwana, ni vizuri sana kwamba tupo hapa! Ukipenda nitajenga vibanda vitatu: kimoja chako, kimoja cha Mose na kimoja cha Eliya.”
4And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
5Alipokuwa bado anasema hivyo, wingu jeupe likawafunika, na sauti ikasikika kutoka katika hilo wingu: “Huyu ni Mwanangu mpendwa, ninayependezwa naye, msikilizeni.”
5And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him.
6Wanafunzi waliposikia hivyo wakaanguka kifudifudi, wakaogopa sana.
6And the disciples hearing, fell upon their face, and were very much afraid.
7Yesu akawaendea, akawagusa, akasema, “Simameni, msiogope!”
7And Jesus came and touched them: and said to them, Arise, and fear not.
8Walipoinua macho yao hawakumwona mtu, ila Yesu peke yake.
8And they lifting up their eyes saw no one but only Jesus.
9Basi, walipokuwa wanashuka mlimani, Yesu akawaonya: “Msimwambie mtu mambo mliyoyaona mpaka Mwana wa Mtu atakapofufuliwa kutoka wafu.”
9And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man, till the Son of man be risen from the dead.
10Kisha wanafunzi wakamwuliza, “Mbona walimu wa Sheria wanasema ati ni lazima kwanza Eliya aje?”
10And his disciples asked him, saying: Why then do the scribes say that Elias must come first?
11Yesu akawajibu, “Kweli, Eliya atakuja kutayarisha mambo yote.
11But he answering, said to them: Elias indeed shall come, and restore all things.
12Lakini nawaambieni, Eliya amekwisha kuja nao hawakumtambua, bali walimtendea jinsi walivyotaka. Mwana wa Mtu atateswa vivyo hivyo mikononi mwao.”
12But I say to you, that Elias is already come, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they had a mind. So also the Son of man shall suffer from them.
13Hapo hao wanafunzi wakafahamu kwamba alikuwa akiwaambia juu ya Yohane mbatizaji.
13Then the disciples understood, that he had spoken to them of John the Baptist.
14Walipojiunga tena na ule umati wa watu, mtu mmoja alimwendea Yesu, akampigia magoti,
14And when he was come to the multitude, there came to him a man falling down on his knees before him, saying: Lord, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffereth much: for he falleth often into the fire, and often into the water.
15akasema, “Mheshimiwa, mwonee huruma mwanangu kwa kuwa ana kifafa, tena anateseka sana; mara nyingi yeye huanguka motoni na majini.
15And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
16Nilimleta kwa wanafunzi wako lakini hawakuweza kumponya.”
16Then Jesus answered and said: O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
17Yesu akajibu, “Enyi kizazi kisicho na imani, kilichopotoka! Nitakaa nanyi mpaka lini? Nitawavumilia ninyi mpaka lini? Mleteni hapa huyo mtoto.”
17And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil went out of him, and the child was cured from that hour.
18Basi, Yesu akamkemea huyo pepo, naye akamtoka, na yule mtoto akapona wakati huohuo.
18Then came the disciples to Jesus secretly, and said: Why could not we cast him out?
19Kisha wanafunzi wakamwendea Yesu kwa faragha, wakamwuliza, “Kwa nini sisi hatukuweza kumtoa yule pepo?”
19Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For, amen I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence hither, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.
20Yesu akawajibu, “Kwa sababu ya imani yenu haba. Nawaambieni kweli, kama tu mkiwa na imani, hata iwe ndogo kama mbegu ya haradali, mtaweza kuuambia mlima huu: Toka hapa uende pale, nao utakwenda. Hakuna chochote ambacho hakingewezekana kwenu.”
20But this kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting.
21“Pepo wa namna hii hawezi kuondolewa ila kwa sala na kufunga.”
21And when they abode together in Galilee, Jesus said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
22Walipokuwa pamoja huko Galilaya, Yesu aliwaambia, “Mwana wa Mtu atakabidhiwa kwa watu.
22And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise again. And they were troubled exceedingly.
23Watamuua, lakini siku ya tatu atafufuliwa.” Wanafunzi wakahuzunika mno.
23And when they were come to Capharnaum, they that received the didrachmas, came to Peter and said to him: Doth not your master pay the didrachmas?
24Walipofika Kafarnaumu watu wenye kukusanya fedha ya zaka ya Hekalu walimwendea Petro, wakamwuliza, “Je, mwalimu wenu hulipa fedha ya zaka?”
24He said: Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying: What is thy opinion, Simon? The kings of the earth, of whom do they receive tribute or custom? of their own children, or of strangers?
25Petro akajibu, “Naam, hulipa.” Basi, Petro alipoingia ndani ya nyumba, kabla hata hajasema neno, Yesu akamwuliza, “Simoni, wewe unaonaje? Wafalme wa dunia hukusanya ushuru au kodi kutoka kwa kina nani? Kutoka kwa wananchi ama kutoka kwa wageni?”
25And he said: Of strangers. Jesus said to him: Then the children are free.
26Petro akajibu, “Kutoka kwa wageni.” Yesu akamwambia, “Haya basi, wananchi hawahusiki.
26But that we may not scandalize them, go to the sea, and cast in a hook: and that fish which shall first come up, take: and when thou hast opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater: take that, and give it to them for me and thee.
27Lakini kusudi tusiwakwaze, nenda ziwani ukatupe ndoana; chukua samaki wa kwanza atakayenaswa, fungua kinywa chake, na ndani utakuta fedha taslimu ya zaka. Ichukue ukawape kwa ajili yangu na kwa ajili yako.”
