Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!
1Kisha, Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Haiwezekani kabisa kusitokee vikwazo vinavyosababisha dhambi; lakini ole wake mtu yule atakayevisababisha.
2It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
2Ingekuwa afadhali kwake kufungiwa shingoni jiwe kubwa la kusagia na kutoswa baharini, kuliko kumkwaza mmoja wa wadogo hawa.
3Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
3Jihadharini! Kama ndugu yako akikukosea, mwonye; akitubu, msamehe.
4Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
4Na kama akikukosea mara saba kwa siku, na kila mara akarudi kwako akisema Nimetubu, lazima umsamehe.”
5The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”
5Mitume wakamwambia Bwana, “Utuongezee imani.”
6And the Lord answered, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.
6Naye Bwana akajibu, “Kama imani yenu ingekuwa ndogo hata kama chembe ndogo ya haradali, mngeweza kuuambia mti huu wa mkuyu: Ng'oka ukajipandikize baharini, nao ungewatii.
7Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say to him, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?
7“Tuseme mmoja wenu ana mtumishi ambaye analima shambani au anachunga kondoo. Je, anaporudi kutoka shambani, atamwambia: Haraka, njoo ule chakula?
8Instead, won’t he tell him, ‘Prepare my meal and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink; and afterward you may eat and drink’?
8La! Atamwambia: Nitayarishie chakula, ujifunge tayari kunitumikia mpaka nitakapomaliza kula na kunywa, ndipo nawe ule na unywe.
9Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?
9Je utamshukuru huyo mtumishi kwa sababu ametimiza aliyoamriwa?
10So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”
10Hali kadhalika na ninyi mkisha fanya yote mliyoamriwa, semeni: Sisi ni watumishi tusio na faida, tumetimiza tu yale tuliyotakiwa kufanya.”
11While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.
11Yesu akiwa safarini kwenda Yerusalemu alipitia mipakani mwa Samaria na Galilaya.
12As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance
12Alipokuwa anaingia katika kijiji kimoja, watu kumi wenye ukoma walikutana naye, wakasimama kwa mbali.
13and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
13Wakapaza sauti wakisema, “Yesu Mwalimu, tuonee huruma!”
14When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.
14Alipowaona akawaambia, “Nendeni mkajionyeshe kwa makuhani.” Basi, ikawa walipokuwa wanakwenda, wakatakasika.
15When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.
15Mmoja wao alipoona kwamba ameponywa alirudi akimtukuza Mungu kwa sauti kubwa.
16He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.
16Akajitupa chini mbele ya miguu ya Yesu huku akimshukuru. Huyo alikuwa Msamaria.
17“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?
17Hapo Yesu akasema, “Je, si watu kumi walitakaswa? Wale tisa wako wapi?
18Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”
18Hakupatikana mwingine aliyerudi kumtukuza Mungu ila tu huyu mgeni?”
19Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”
19Halafu akamwambia huyo mtu, “Simama, uende zako; imani yako imekuponya.”
20When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.
20Wakati mmoja, Mafarisayo walimwuliza Yesu, “Ufalme wa Mungu utakuja lini?” Naye akawajibu, “Ufalme wa Mungu hauji kwa namna itakayoweza kuonekana.
21Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
21Wala hakuna atakayeweza kusema, Uko hapa, au Uko pale. Kwa kweli Ufalme wa Mungu uko kati yenu.”
22Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.
22Halafu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Siku zinakuja ambapo mtatamani kuona mojawapo ya siku za Mwana wa Mtu, lakini hamtaiona.
23People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.
23Na watu watawaambieni: Tazameni yuko hapa; ninyi msitoke wala msiwafuate.
24For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.
24Kwa maana kama vile umeme unavyotokea ghafla na kuangaza anga upande mmoja hadi mwingine, ndivyo Mwana wa Mtu atakavyokuwa siku yake.
25But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
25Lakini kabla ya hayo, itambidi ateseke sana na kukataliwa na kizazi hiki.
26Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:
26Kama ilivyokuwa nyakati za Noa, ndivyo itakavyokuwa katika siku za Mwana wa Mtu.
27People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
27Watu waliendelea kula na kunywa, kuoa na kuolewa mpaka wakati ule Noa alipoingia katika safina. Gharika ikatokea na kuwaangamiza wote.
28It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
28Itakuwa kama ilivyotokea wakati wa Loti. Watu waliendelea kula na kunywa, kununua na kuuza, kupanda mbegu na kujenga.
29But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
29Lakini siku ile Loti alipoondoka Sodoma, moto na kiberiti vikanyesha kama mvua kutoka mbinguni na kuwaangamiza wote.
30It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
30Ndivyo itakavyokuwa siku ile Mwana wa Mtu atakapofunuliwa.
31On that day, let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve his possessions. Likewise, let no one in the field return for anything he has left behind.
31“Siku hiyo, yeyote atakayekuwa juu ya paa asishuke nyumbani kuchukua mali yake. Kadhalika, naye atakayekuwa shambani asirudi nyuma.
32Remember Lot’s wife!
32Kumbukeni yaliyompata mke wa Loti.
33Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
33Yeyote anayetaka kuiokoa nafsi yake, ataipoteza; na yeyote anayeipoteza, ataiokoa.
34I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: One will be taken and the other left.
34Nawaambieni, siku ile usiku watu wawili watakuwa wanalala pamoja, mmoja atachukuliwa na yule mwingine ataachwa.
35Two women will be grinding grain together: One will be taken and the other left.”
35Wanawake wawili watakuwa wakisaga nafaka pamoja; mmoja atachukuliwa na mwingine ataachwa.”

36Watu wawili watakuwa shambani; mmoja atachukuliwa na mwingine ataachwa.
37“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
37Hapo wakamwuliza, “Ni wapi Bwana?” Naye akawaambia, “Ulipo mzoga, ndipo tai watakapokusanyikia.”
