Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.
1Yesu alipokwisha sema hayo, alitazama juu mbinguni, akasema, “Baba, saa imefika! Mtukuze Mwanao ili naye Mwana apate kukutukuza.
2For You granted Him authority over all people, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him.
2Maana ulimpa Mwanao mamlaka juu ya watu wote ili awape uzima wa milele wote hao uliompa.
3Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.
3Na uzima wa milele ndio huu: kukujua wewe uliye peke yako Mungu wa kweli, na kumjua Yesu Kristo uliyemtuma.
4I have glorified You on earth by accomplishing the work You gave Me to do.
4Mimi nimekutukuza hapa duniani; nimeikamilisha ile kazi uliyonipa nifanye.
5And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed.
5Sasa, Baba, nitukuze mbele yako kwa ule utukufu niliokuwa nao kabla ya kuumbwa ulimwengu.
6I have revealed Your name to those You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.
6“Nimekufanya ujulikane kwa watu wale ulionipa kutoka duniani. Walikuwa watu wako, nawe ukanipa wawe wangu; nao wamelishika neno lako.
7Now they know that everything You have given Me comes from You.
7Sasa wanajua kwamba kila ulichonipa kimetoka kwako.
8For I have given them the words You gave Me, and they have received them. They knew with certainty that I came from You, and they believed that You sent Me.
8Mimi nimewapa ule ujumbe ulionipa nao wameupokea; wanajua kwamba kweli nimetoka kwako, na wanaamini kwamba wewe ulinituma.
9I ask on their behalf. I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those You have given Me; for they are Yours.
9“Nawaombea hao; siuombei ulimwengu, ila nawaombea hao ulionipa, maana ni wako.
10All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine; and in them I have been glorified.
10Yote niliyo nayo ni yako, na yako ni yangu; na utukufu wangu umeonekana ndani yao.
11I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one.
11Na sasa naja kwako; simo tena ulimwenguni, lakini wao wamo ulimwenguni. Baba Mtakatifu! Kwa nguvu ya jina lako ulilonipa, tafadhali uwaweke salama ili wawe kitu kimoja kama sisi tulivyo mmoja.
12While I was with them, I protected and preserved them by Your name, the name You gave Me. Not one of them has been lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.
12Nilipokuwa nao, mimi niliwaweka salama kwa nguvu ya jina lako ulilonipa. Mimi nimewalinda, wala hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyepotea, isipokuwa yule aliyelazimika kupotea ili Maandiko Matakatifu yapate kutimia.
13But now I am coming to You; and I am saying these things while I am in the world, so that they may have My joy fulfilled within them.
13Basi, sasa naja kwako, na nimesema mambo haya ulimwenguni, ili waweze kushiriki kikamilifu furaha yangu.
14I have given them Your word and the world has hated them; for they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
14Mimi nimewapa neno lako, nao ulimwengu ukawachukia, kwa sababu wao si wa ulimwengu kama vile nami nisivyo wa ulimwengu.
15I am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one.
15Siombi uwatoe ulimwenguni, bali naomba uwakinge na yule Mwovu.
16They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
16Wao si wa ulimwengu, kama vile nami nisivyo wa ulimwengu.
17Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.
17Waweke wakfu kwa ukweli; neno lako ni ukweli.
18As You sent Me into the world, I have also sent them into the world.
18Kama vile ulivyonituma ulimwenguni, nami pia nimewatuma wao ulimwenguni;
19For them I sanctify Myself, so that they too may be sanctified by the truth.
19na kwa ajili yao mimi mwenyewe najiweka wakfu ili nao pia wafanywe wakfu katika ukweli.
20I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message,
20“Siwaombei hao tu, bali nawaombea pia wote watakaoamini kutokana na ujumbe wao.
21that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
21Naomba ili wote wawe kitu kimoja. Baba! Naomba wawe ndani yetu kama vile wewe ulivyo ndani yangu nami ndani yako. Naomba wawe kitu kimoja kusudi ulimwengu upate kuamini kwamba wewe ulinituma.
22I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one—
22Mimi nimewapa utukufu uleule ulionipa mimi, ili wawe kitu kimoja kama nasi tulivyo mmoja;
23I in them and You in Me—that they may be perfectly united, so that the world may know that You sent Me and have loved them just as You have loved Me.
23mimi niwe ndani yao, nawe uwe ndani yangu; naomba wakamilishwe na kuwa kitu kimoja, ili ulimwengu upate kujua kwamba wewe ulinituma, na kwamba unawapenda wao kama unavyonipenda mimi.
24Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, that they may see the glory You gave Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
24“Baba! Nataka wao ulionipa wawe pamoja nami pale nilipo, ili wauone utukufu wangu ulionipa; kwa kuwa ulinipenda kabla ya kuumbwa ulimwengu.
25Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me.
25Baba Mwema! Ulimwengu haukujui, lakini mimi nakujua. Hawa nao wanajua kwamba wewe ulinituma.
26And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love You have for Me may be in them, and I in them.”
26Nimekufanya ujulikane kwao na nitaendelea kufanya hivyo, ili upendo ulio nao kwangu uwe ndani yao, nami niwe ndani yao.”
