Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1As a fellow elder, a witness of Christ’s sufferings, and a partaker of the glory to be revealed, I appeal to the elders among you:
1wazee! Mimi niliye mzee ninalo ombi moja kwenu wazee wenzangu. Mimi mwenyewe nilishuhudia kwa macho yangu mateso ya Kristo na natumaini kuushiriki ule utukufu utakaofunuliwa. Mimi nawaombeni
2Be shepherds of God’s flock that is among you, watching over them not out of compulsion, but because it is God’s will; not out of greed, but out of eagerness;
2mlichunge lile kundi la Mungu mlilokabidhiwa, mlitunze si kwa kulazimika, bali kwa hiari kama atakavyo Mungu. Fanyeni kazi hiyo si kwa tamaa ya fedha, bali kwa moyo wenu wote.
3not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
3Msiwatawale kwa mabavu hao waliowekwa chini ya ulinzi wenu, bali muwe mfano kwa hilo kundi.
4And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
4Na wakati Mchungaji Mkuu atakapotokea, ninyi mtapokea taji ya utukufu isiyofifia.
5Young men, in the same way, submit yourselves to your elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
5Kadhalika nanyi vijana mnapaswa kujiweka chini ya mamlaka ya wazee. Ninyi nyote mnapaswa kuwa na unyenyekevu mpate kutumikiana; maana Maandiko Matakatifu yasema: “Mungu huwapinga wenye majivuno, lakini huwajalia neema wanyenyekevu.”
6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you.
6Basi, nyenyekeeni chini ya mkono wa enzi wa Mungu, ili awainue wakati ufaao.
7Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
7Mwekeeni matatizo yenu yote, maana yeye anawatunzeni.
8Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
8Muwe macho; kesheni! Maana adui yenu, Ibilisi, huzungukazunguka kama simba angurumaye akitafuta mawindo.
9Resist him, standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.
9Muwe imara katika imani na kumpinga, mkijua kwamba ndugu zenu pote duniani wanapatwa na mateso hayohayo.
10And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore you, secure you, strengthen you, and establish you.
10Lakini mkisha teseka muda mfupi, Mungu aliye asili ya neema yote na ambaye anawaiteni muushiriki utukufu wake wa milele katika kuungana na Kristo, yeye mwenyewe atawakamilisheni na kuwapeni uthabiti, nguvu na msingi imara.
11To Him be the power forever and ever. Amen.
11Kwake uwe uwezo milele! Amina.
12Through Silvanus, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.
12Nimewaandikieni barua hii fupi kwa msaada wa Silwano, ndugu ambaye namjua na kumwamini. Nataka kuwapeni moyo na kushuhudia kwamba jambo hili ni neema ya Mungu kweli. Kaeni imara katika neema hiyo.
13The church in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, as does my son Mark.
13Jumuiya ya wenzenu walioteuliwa na Mungu hapa Babuloni wanawasalimuni. Vilevile mwanangu Marko anawasalimuni.
14Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
14Salimianeni kwa ishara ya upendo wa Kikristo. Nawatakieni amani ninyi mlio wake Kristo.
