Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1You are to imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.
1Niigeni mimi kama ninavyomwiga Kristo.
2Now I commend you for remembering me in everything and for maintaining the traditions, just as I passed them on to you.
2Nawapeni hongera kwa sababu mnanikumbuka na kwa sababu mnayashikilia yale maagizo niliyowapeni.
3But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
3Lakini napenda pia mjue kwamba Kristo ni kichwa cha kila mwanamume, na mwanamume ni kichwa cha mkewe, na Mungu ni kichwa cha Kristo.
4Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.
4Basi, kila mwanamume anayesali au anayetangaza ujumbe wa Mungu huku amefunika kichwa chake, huyo anamdharau Kristo.
5And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is just as if her head were shaved.
5Na mwanamke akisali au kutangaza ujumbe wa Mungu bila kufunika kichwa chake, anamdharau mumewe; anayefanya hivyo ni sawa tu na mwanamke aliyenyoa kichwa chake.
6If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. And if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.
6Mwanamke asiyefunika kichwa chake, afadhali anyoe nywele zake. Lakini ni aibu kwa mwanamke kukatwa nywele zake au kunyolewa; basi, afadhali afunike kichwa chake.
7A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.
7Haifai mwanamume kufunika kichwa chake, kwa kuwa yeye ni mfano wa Mungu na kioo cha utukufu wake Mungu; lakini mwanamke ni kioo cha utukufu wa mwanamume.
8For man did not come from woman, but woman from man.
8Mwanamume hakutoka kwa mwanamke, ila mwanamke alitoka kwa mwanamume.
9Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
9Mwanamume hakuumbwa kwa ajili ya mwanamke, ila mwanamke aliumbwa kwa ajili ya mwanamume.
10For this reason a woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.
10Ndiyo maana mwanamke hufunika kichwa chake, iwe ishara ya mamlaka yaliyo juu yake, na pia kwa sababu ya malaika.
11In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.
11Hata hivyo, mbele ya Bwana mwanamke si kitu bila mwanamume, naye mwanamume si kitu bila mwanamke.
12For just as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.
12Kama vile mwanamke alivyotokana na mwanamume, vivyo hivyo mwanamume huzaliwa na mwanamke; kila kitu hutoka kwa Mungu.
13Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
13Amueni wenyewe: Je, inafaa mwanamke kumwomba Mungu bila kuvaa kitu kichwani?
14Doesn’t nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,
14Hata maumbile yenyewe huonyesha wazi kwamba kwa mwanamume kuwa na nywele ndefu ni aibu kwake mwenyewe;
15but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.
15lakini kwa mwanamke kuwa na nywele ni heshima kwake; nywele zake ndefu amepewa ili zimfunike.
16If anyone is inclined to dispute this, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God.
16Kama mtu anataka kuleta ubishi juu ya jambo hili, basi, na ajue kwamba sisi hatuna desturi nyingine, wala makanisa ya Mungu hayana desturi nyingine.
17In the following instructions I have no praise to offer, because your gatherings do more harm than good.
17Nikiwa bado nawapeni maagizo haya, siwezi hata kidogo kuwapa ninyi hongera kuhusu haya yafuatayo: mikutano yenu ninyi waumini yaleta hasara zaidi kuliko faida.
18First of all, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.
18Awali ya yote, nasikia kwamba mnapokutana pamoja hutokea mafarakano kati yenu. Nami naamini kiasi,
19And indeed, there must be differences among you to show which of you are approved.
19maana ni lazima fikira tofauti ziweko miongoni mwenu, ili wale walio thabiti wapate kutambulikana.
20Now then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat.
20Kweli mnakutana, lakini si kwa ajili ya kula chakula cha Bwana!
21For as you eat, each of you goes ahead without sharing his meal. While one remains hungry, another gets drunk.
21Maana mnapokula kila mmoja hukikalia chakula chake mwenyewe, hata hutokea kwamba baadhi yenu wana njaa, na wengine wamelewa!
22Don’t you have your own homes in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? No, I will not!
22Je, hamwezi kula na kunywa nyumbani kwenu! Au je, mnalidharau kanisa la Mungu na kuwaaibisha hao wasio na kitu? Niwaambie nini? Niwasifu? La hasha! Si kuhusu jambo hili.
23For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, took bread,
23Maana mimi nilipokea kwa Bwana yale maagizo niliyowaachieni: kwamba, usiku ule Bwana Yesu aliotolewa, alitwaa mkate,
24and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
24akamshukuru Mungu, akaumega, akasema: “Huu ndio mwili wangu ulio kwa ajili yenu; fanyeni hivi kwa kunikumbuka.”
25In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
25Vivyo hivyo, baada ya kula, akatwaa kikombe akasema: “Hiki ni kikombe cha agano jipya linalothibitishwa kwa damu yangu. Fanyeni hivi, kila mnapokunywa, kwa kunikumbuka.”
26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.
26Maana kila mnapokula mkate huu na kunywa kikombe hiki, mwatangaza kifo cha Bwana, mpaka atakapokuja.
27Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.
27Kwa hiyo, kila aulaye mkate huo au kunywa kikombe cha Bwana bila kustahili, atakuwa na hatia dhidi ya mwili na damu ya Bwana.
28Each one must examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup.
28Basi, kila mtu ajichunguze mwenyewe kwanza, ndipo ale mkate huo na anywe kikombe hicho;
29For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.
29maana anayekula na kunywa bila kutambua maana ya mwili wa Bwana, anakula na kunywa hukumu yake yeye mwenyewe.
30That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.
30Ndiyo maana wengi kati yenu ni dhaifu na wagonjwa, na wengine kadhaa wamekufa.
31Now if we judged ourselves properly, we would not come under judgment.
31Kama tungejichunguza wenyewe vizuri hatungeadhibiwa hivyo.
32But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.
32Lakini tunapohukumiwa na Bwana, tunafunzwa tuwe na nidhamu, ili tusije tukahukumiwa pamoja na ulimwengu.
33So, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
33Kwa hiyo, ndugu zangu, mnapokutana kula chakula cha Bwana, kila mmoja amngoje mwenzake.
34If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you come together it will not result in judgment. And when I come, I will give instructions about the remaining matters.
34Na kama kuna yeyote aliye na njaa, na ale nyumbani kwake, ili kukutana kwenu kusisababishe hukumu. Lakini, kuhusu yale mambo mengine, nitawapeni maelezo nitakapokuja.
