Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1Continue in brotherly love.
1Endeleeni kupendana kidugu.
2Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
2Msisahau kuwakaribisha wageni; maana kwa kufanya hivyo watu wengine walipata kuwakaribisha malaika bila kujua.
3Remember those in prison as if you were bound with them, and those who are mistreated as if you were suffering with them.
3Wakumbukeni wale waliofungwa kana kwamba mmefungwa pamoja nao. Wakumbukeni wale wanaoteseka kana kwamba nanyi mnateseka kama wao.
4Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
4Ndoa inapaswa kuheshimiwa na watu wote, na haki zake zitekelezwe kwa uaminifu. Mungu atawahukumu waasherati na wazinzi.
5Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”
5Msiwe watu wa kupenda fedha; toshekeni na vile vitu mlivyo navyo. Mungu mwenyewe amesema: “Sitakuacha kamwe, wala sitakutupa.”
6So we say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”
6Ndiyo maana tunathubutu kusema: “Bwana ndiye msaada wangu, sitaogopa. Binadamu atanifanya nini?”
7Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.
7wakumbukeni viongozi wenu waliowatangazieni ujumbe wa Mungu. Fikirieni juu ya mwenendo wao, mkaige imani yao.
8Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
8Yesu Kristo ni yuleyule, jana, leo na milele.
9Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace and not by foods of no value to those devoted to them.
9Msipeperushwe huku na huku kwa mafundisho tofauti ya kigeni. Neema ya Mungu ndiyo inayoimarisha roho zetu na wala si masharti juu ya chakula; masharti hayo hayakumsaidia kamwe mtu yeyote aliyeyafuata.
10We have an altar from which those who serve at the tabernacle have no right to eat.
10Sisi tunayo madhabahu ambayo wale wanaotumikia bado katika hema la Wayahudi, hawana haki ya kula vitu vyake.
11Although the high priest brings the blood of animals into the Holy Place as a sacrifice for sin, the bodies are burned outside the camp.
11Kuhani Mkuu wa Kiyahudi huleta damu ya wanyama katika Mahali Patakatifu na kuitoa dhabihu kwa ajili ya dhambi; lakini nyama za hao wanyama huteketezwa nje ya kambi.
12And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate, to sanctify the people by His own blood.
12Ndiyo maana Yesu pia, kusudi apate kuwatakasa watu kwa damu yake mwenyewe, aliteswa na kufa nje ya mji.
13Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace He bore.
13Basi, tumwendee huko nje ya kambi tukajitwike laana yake.
14For here we do not have a permanent city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.
14Maana hapa duniani hatuna mji wa kudumu; lakini tunautafuta ule unaokuja.
15Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that confess His name.
15Basi, kwa njia ya Yesu, tumtolee Mungu dhabihu ya sifa daima, yaani sifa zinazotolewa na midomo inayoliungama jina lake.
16And do not neglect to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
16Msisahau kutenda mema na kusaidiana, maana hizi ndizo dhabihu zinazompendeza Mungu.
17Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch over your souls as those who must give an account. To this end, allow them to lead with joy and not with grief, for that would be of no advantage to you.
17Watiini viongozi wenu na kushika amri zao; wao huchunga roho zenu usiku na mchana, na watatoa ripoti ya utumishi wao mbele ya Mungu. Kama mkiwatii watafanya kazi zao kwa furaha, la sivyo, watazifanya kwa huzuni, na hiyo haitakuwa na faida kwenu.
18Pray for us; we are convinced that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.
18Tuombeeni na sisi. Tuna hakika kwamba tunayo dhamiri safi, maana twataka kufanya lililo sawa daima.
19And I especially urge you to pray that I may be restored to you soon.
19Nawasihi sana mniombee ili Mungu anirudishe kwenu upesi iwezekanavyo.
20Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,
20Mungu amemfufua Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo ambaye ni Mchungaji Mkuu wa kondoo kwa sababu ya kumwaga damu yake iliyothibitisha agano la milele.
21equip you with every good thing to do His will. And may He accomplish in us what is pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
21Mungu wa amani awakamilishe katika kila tendo jema ili mtekeleze mapenzi yake; yeye na afanye ndani yetu kwa njia ya Kristo yale yanayompendeza mwenyewe. Utukufu uwe kwake, milele na milele! Amina.
22I urge you, brothers, to bear with my word of exhortation, for I have only written to you briefly.
22Basi, ndugu, nawasihi mpokee kwa utulivu ujumbe huu wa kuwatieni moyo. Hii ni barua fupi tu ambayo nimewaandikieni.
23Be aware that our brother Timothy has been released. If he arrives soon, I will come with him to see you.
23Napenda kuwajulisheni kwamba ndugu yetu Timotheo amekwisha funguliwa gerezani. Kama akifika hapa mapema, nitakuja naye nitakapokuja kwenu.
24Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy send you greetings.
24Wasalimieni viongozi wenu wote pamoja na watu wa Mungu! Ndugu wa Italia wanawasalimuni.
25Grace be with all of you.
25Tunawatakieni nyote neema ya Mungu.
