Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1Then Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury,
1Yesu alitazama kwa makini, akawaona matajiri walivyokuwa wanatia sadaka zao katika hazina ya Hekalu,
2and He saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins.
2akamwona pia mama mmoja mjane akitumbukiza humo sarafu mbili ndogo.
3“Truly I tell you,” He said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others.
3Basi, akasema, “Nawaambieni kweli, mama huyu mjane ametia zaidi katika hazina kuliko wote.
4For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
4Kwa maana, wengine wote wametoa sadaka zao kutokana na ziada ya mali zao, lakini huyu mama, ingawa ni maskini, ametoa kila kitu alichohitaji kwa kuishi.”
5As some of the disciples were remarking how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and consecrated gifts, Jesus said,
5Baadhi ya wanafunzi walikuwa wanazungumza juu ya Hekalu, jinsi lilivyopambwa kwa mawe ya thamani, pamoja na sadaka zilizotolewa kwa Mungu. Yesu akasema,
6“As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
6“Haya yote mnayoyaona—zitakuja siku ambapo hakuna hata jiwe moja litakalosalia juu ya lingine; kila kitu kitaharibiwa.”
7“Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?”
7Basi, wakamwuliza, “Mwalimu, mambo hayo yatatokea lini? Na ni ishara gani zitakazoonyesha kwamba karibu mambo hayo yatokee?”
8Jesus answered, “See to it that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them.
8Yesu akawajibu, “Jihadharini, msije mkadanganyika. Maana wengi watatokea na kulitumia jina langu wakisema: Mimi ndiye, na, Wakati ule umekaribia. Lakini ninyi msiwafuate!
9When you hear of wars and rebellions, do not be alarmed. These things must happen first, but the end is not imminent.”
9Basi, mtakaposikia habari za vita na misukosuko, msitishike; maana ni lazima hayo yatokee kwanza, lakini mwisho wa yote, bado.”
10Then He told them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
10Halafu akaendelea kusema: “Taifa moja litapigana na taifa lingine, na ufalme mmoja utapigana na ufalme mwingine.
11There will be great earthquakes, famines, and pestilences in various places, along with fearful sights and great signs from heaven.
11Kila mahali kutakuwa na mitetemeko mikubwa ya ardhi, kutakuwa na njaa na tauni. Kutakuwa na vituko vya kutisha na ishara kubwa angani.
12But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. On account of My name they will deliver you to the synagogues and prisons, and they will bring you before kings and governors.
12Lakini kabla ya kutokea hayo yote, watawatieni nguvuni, watawatesa na kuwapelekeni katika masunagogi na kuwatia gerezani; mtapelekwa mbele ya wafalme na watawala kwa ajili ya jina langu.
13This will be your opportunity to serve as witnesses.
13Hii itawapeni fursa ya kushuhudia Habari Njema.
14So make up your mind not to worry beforehand how to defend yourselves.
14Muwe na msimamo huu mioyoni mwenu: hakuna kufikiria kabla ya wakati juu ya jinsi mtakavyojitetea,
15For I will give you speech and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.
15kwa sababu mimi mwenyewe nitawapeni ufasaha wa maneno na hekima, hivyo kwamba zenu hawataweza kustahimili wala kupinga.
16You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and some of you will be put to death.
16Wazazi wenu, ndugu, jamaa na rafiki zenu watawasaliti ninyi; na baadhi yenu mtauawa.
17And you will be hated by everyone because of My name.
17Watu wote watawachukieni kwa sababu ya jina langu.
18Yet not even a hair of your head will perish.
18Lakini, hata unywele mmoja wa vichwa vyenu hautapotea.
19By your patient endurance you will gain your souls.
19Kwa uvumilivu wenu, mtayaokoa maisha yenu.
20But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, you will know that her desolation is near.
20“Mtakapoona mji wa Yerusalemu umezungukwa na majeshi, ndipo mtambue ya kwamba wakati umefika ambapo mji huo utaharibiwa.
21Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country stay out of the city.
21Hapo walioko Yudea wakimbilie milimani; wale walio mjini watoke; na wale walio mashambani wasirudi mjini.
22For these are the days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written.
22Kwa maana siku hizo ni siku za adhabu, ili yote yaliyoandikwa yatimie.
23How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers! For there will be great distress upon the land and wrath against this people.
23Ole wao waja wazito na wanyonyeshao siku hizo! Kwa maana kutakuwa na dhiki kubwa katika nchi, na hasira ya Mungu itawajia watu hawa.
24They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations. And Jerusalem will be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
24Wengine watauawa kwa upanga, wengine watachukuliwa mateka katika nchi zote; na mji wa Yerusalemu utakanyagwa na watu wa mataifa mengine, hadi nyakati zao zitakapotimia.
25There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among the nations, bewildered by the roaring of the sea and the surging of the waves.
25“Kutakuwa na ishara katika jua na mwezi na nyota. Mataifa duniani yatakuwa na dhiki kwa sababu ya wasiwasi kutokana na mshindo wa mawimbi ya bahari.
26Men will faint from fear and anxiety over what is coming upon the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
26Watu watazirai kwa sababu ya uoga, wakitazamia mambo yatakayoupata ulimwengu; kwa maana nguvu za mbingu zitatikiswa.
27At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
27Halafu, watamwona Mwana wa Mtu akija katika wingu, mwenye nguvu na utukufu mwingi.
28When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
28Wakati mambo hayo yatakapoanza kutukia, simameni na kuinua vichwa vyenu juu, kwa maana ukombozi wenu umekaribia.”
29Then Jesus told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees.
29Kisha akawaambia mfano: “Angalieni mtini na miti mingine yote.
30When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near.
30Mnapoona kwamba imeanza kuchipua majani, mwatambua kwamba wakati wa kiangazi umekaribia.
31So also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
31Vivyo hivyo, mtakapoona mambo hayo yanatendeka, mtatambua kwamba Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia.
32Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.
32Nawaambieni hakika, kizazi hiki cha sasa hakitapita kabla ya hayo yote kutendeka.
33Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
33Mbingu na dunia vitapita, lakini maneno yangu hayatapita.
34But watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life—and that day will spring upon you suddenly like a snare.
34“Muwe macho, mioyo yenu isije ikalemewa na anasa, ulevi na shughuli za maisha haya. La sivyo, Siku ile itawajieni ghafla.
35For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of all the earth.
35Kwa maana itawajia kama mtego, wote wanaoishi duniani pote.
36So keep watch at all times, and pray that you may have the strength to escape all that is about to happen and to stand before the Son of Man.”
36Muwe waangalifu basi, na salini daima ili muweze kupata nguvu ya kupita salama katika mambo haya yote yatakayotokea, na kusimama mbele ya Mwana wa Mtu.”
37Every day Jesus taught at the temple, but every evening He went out to spend the night on the Mount of Olives.
37Wakati wa mchana, siku hizo, Yesu alikuwa akifundisha watu Hekaluni; lakini usiku alikuwa akienda katika mlima wa Mizeituni na kukaa huko.
38And early in the morning all the people would come to hear Him at the temple.
38Watu wote walikuwa wanakwenda Hekaluni asubuhi na mapema, wapate kumsikiliza.
