Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1Then Jesus left that place and went into the region of Judea, beyond the Jordan. Again the crowds came to Him and He taught them, as was His custom.
1Yesu alitoka hapo akaenda mkoani Yudea na hata ng'ambo ya mto Yordani. Umati wa watu ukamwendea tena, naye akawafundisha tena kama ilivyokuwa desturi yake.
2Some Pharisees came to test Him. “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” they inquired.
2Basi, Mafarisayo wakamwendea, na kwa kumjaribu wakamwuliza, “Je, ni halali mtu kumpa talaka mkewe?”
3“What did Moses command you?” He replied.
3Yesu akawajibu, “Mose aliwapa maagizo gani?”
4They answered, “Moses permitted a man to write his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away.”
4Nao wakasema, “Mose aliagiza mume kumpatia mkewe hati ya talaka na kumwacha.”
5But Jesus told them, “Moses wrote this commandment for you because of your hardness of heart.
5Yesu akawaambia, “Mose aliwaandikia amri hiyo kwa sababu ya ugumu wa mioyo yenu.
6However, from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’
6Lakini tangu kuumbwa ulimwengu, Mungu aliumba mwanamume na mwanamke.
7‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
7Hivyo mwanamume atawaacha baba yake na mama yake, ataungana na mkewe,
8and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
8nao wawili watakuwa mwili mmoja. Kwa hiyo, wao si wawili tena bali mwili mmoja.
9Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
9Basi, alichounganisha Mungu, binadamu asitenganishe.”
10When they were back inside the house, the disciples asked Jesus about this matter.
10Walipoingia tena ndani ya nyumba, wanafunzi wake walimwuliza juu ya jambo hilo.
11So He told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.
11Naye akawaambia, “Anayemwacha mkewe na kuoa mwingine, anazini dhidi ya mkewe.
12And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”
12Na mwanamke anayemwacha mumewe na kuolewa na mwingine anazini.”
13Now people were bringing the little children to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them, and the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
13Watu walimletea Yesu watoto wadogo ili awaguse, lakini wanafunzi wakawakemea.
14But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and told them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
14Yesu alipoona hivyo, alikasirika akawaambia, “Waacheni hao watoto waje kwangu, wala msiwazuie, kwa maana Ufalme wa Mungu ni kwa ajili ya watu walio kama watoto hawa.
15Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
15Nawaambieni kweli, mtu yeyote asiyeupokea Ufalme wa Mungu kama mtoto mdogo hataingia katika Ufalme huo.”
16And He took the children in His arms, placed His hands on them, and blessed them.
16Kisha akawapokea watoto hao, akawawekea mikono, akawabariki.
17As Jesus started on His way, a man ran up and knelt before Him. “Good Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
17Yesu alipoanza tena safari yake, mtu mmoja alimjia mbio, akapiga magoti mbele yake, akamwuliza, “Mwalimu mwema, nifanyeje ili niupate uzima wa milele?”
18“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
18Yesu akamjibu, “Mbona unaniita mwema? Hakuna aliye mwema ila Mungu peke yake.
19You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not cheat others, honor your father and mother.’”
19Unazijua amri: Usizini; Usiue; Usiibe; Usitoe ushahidi wa uongo; Usidanganye; Waheshimu baba na mama yako.”
20“Teacher,” he replied, “all these I have kept from my youth.”
20Naye akamjibu, “Mwalimu, hayo yote nimeyazingatia tangu ujana wangu.”
21Jesus looked at him, loved him, and said to him, “There is one thing you lack: Go, sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
21Yesu akamtazama, akampenda, akamwambia, “Umepungukiwa na kitu kimoja: nenda ukauze vitu ulivyo navyo, uwape maskini, nawe utakuwa na hazina mbinguni; kisha njoo unifuate.”
22But the man was saddened by these words and went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.
22Aliposikia hayo, alisikitika, akaenda zake akiwa na huzuni, kwa maana alikuwa na mali nyingi.
23Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”
23Yesu akatazama pande zote, akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Jinsi gani itakavyokuwa vigumu kwa matajiri kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu!”
24And the disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!
24Wanafunzi walishangazwa na maneno yake. Yesu akawaambia tena, “Watoto wangu, ni vigumu sana kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu!
25It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
25Ni rahisi zaidi ngamia kupenya katika tundu la sindano, kuliko tajiri kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu.”
26They were even more astonished and said to one another, “Who then can be saved?”
26Wanafunzi wake wakashangaa sana wakaulizana, “Ni nani basi, atakayeweza kuokoka?”
27Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”
27Yesu akawatazama, akawaambia, “Kwa binadamu haiwezekani, lakini kwa Mungu si hivyo, maana kwa Mungu mambo yote huwezekana.”
28Peter began to say to Him, “Look, we have left everything and followed You.”
28Petro akamwambia, “Na sisi je? Tumeacha yote, tukakufuata!”
29“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for My sake and for the gospel
29Yesu akasema, “Kweli nawaambieni, kila mtu aliyeacha nyumba, au ndugu, au dada, au mama, au baba, au watoto au mashamba kwa ajili yangu na kwa ajili ya Habari Njema,
30will fail to receive a hundredfold in the present age—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, along with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life.
30atapokea mara mia zaidi wakati huu wa sasa nyumba, ndugu, dada, mama, watoto na mashamba pamoja na mateso; na katika wakati ujao atapokea uzima wa milele.
31But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”
31Lakini wengi walio wa kwanza watakuwa wa mwisho, na walio wa mwisho watakuwa wa kwanza.”
32As they were going up the road to Jerusalem, Jesus was walking ahead of them. The disciples were amazed, but those who followed were afraid. Again Jesus took the Twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him:
32Basi, walikuwa njiani kwenda Yerusalemu, na Yesu alikuwa anawatangulia. Wanafunzi wake walijawa na hofu, na watu waliofuata waliogopa. Yesu akawachukua tena kando wale kumi na wawili, akaanza kuwaambia yale yatakayompata:
33“Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn Him to death and will deliver Him over to the Gentiles,
33“Sikilizeni! Tunakwenda Yerusalemu, na huko Mwana wa Mtu atakabidhiwa kwa makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria, nao watamhukumu auawe na kumkabidhi kwa watu wa mataifa.
34who will mock Him and spit on Him and flog Him and kill Him. And after three days He will rise again.”
34Nao watamdhihaki; watamtemea mate, watampiga mijeledi na kumwua. Na baada ya siku tatu atafufuka.”
35Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and declared, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask.”
35Yakobo na Yohane, wana wa Zebedayo, walimwendea Yesu wakamwambia, “Mwalimu, tunataka utufanyie kitu tutakachokuomba.”
36“What do you want Me to do for you?” He inquired.
36Yesu akawauliza, “Mnataka niwafanyie nini?”
37They answered, “Grant that one of us may sit at Your right hand and the other at Your left in Your glory.”
37Wakamjibu, “Uturuhusu tuketi mmoja upande wako wa kulia na mwingine upande wako wa kushoto katika utukufu wa Ufalme wako.”
38“You do not know what you are asking,” Jesus replied. “Can you drink the cup I will drink, or be baptized with the baptism I will undergo?”
38Yesu akawaambia, “Hamjui mnachoomba! Je, mnaweza kunywa kikombe nitakachokunywa, au kubatizwa kama nitakavyobatizwa?”
39“We can,” the brothers answered. “You will drink the cup that I drink,” Jesus said, “and you will be baptized with the baptism that I undergo.
39Wakamjibu, “Tunaweza.” Yesu akawaambia, “Kikombe nitakachokunywa mtakinywa kweli, na mtabatizwa kama nitakavyobatizwa.
40But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to grant. These seats belong to those for whom they have been prepared.”
40Lakini ni nani atakayeketi kulia au kushoto kwangu si wajibu wangu kupanga, bali nafasi hizo watapewa wale waliotayarishiwa.”
41When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John.
41Wale wanafunzi wengine kumi waliposikia hayo, walianza kuchukizwa na Yakobo na Yohane.
42So Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them.
42Yesu akawaita, akawaambia, “Mnajua kwamba wale wanaofikiriwa kuwa watawala wa mataifa huwatawala watu wao kwa mabavu, na wakuu hao huwamiliki watu wao.
43But it shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
43Lakini kwenu isiwe hivyo, ila anayetaka kuwa mkuu kati yenu, sharti awe mtumishi wenu.
44and whoever wants to be first must be the slave of all.
44Anayetaka kuwa wa kwanza, sharti awe mtumishi wa wote.
45For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
45Maana Mwana wa Mtu hakuja kutumikiwa, ila alikuja kutumikia, na kutoa maisha yake kuwa fidia ya watu wengi.”
46Next, they came to Jericho. And as Jesus and His disciples were leaving Jericho with a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting beside the road.
46Basi, wakafika Yeriko, naye Yesu alipokuwa anatoka katika mji huo akiwa na wanafunzi wake pamoja na umati mkubwa wa watu, kipofu mwombaji aitwaye Bartimayo mwana wa Timayo alikuwa ameketi kando ya barabara.
47When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
47Aliposikia kwamba ni Yesu wa Nazareti aliyekuwa anapita mahali hapo, alianza kupaaza sauti, “Yesu, Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!”
48Many people admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
48Watu wengi walimkemea ili anyamaze, lakini yeye akazidi kupaaza sauti, “Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!”
49Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind man. “Take courage!” they said. “Get up! He is calling for you.”
49Yesu alisimama, akasema, “Mwiteni.” Basi, wakamwita huyo kipofu, wakamwambia, “Jipe moyo! Simama, anakuita.”
50Throwing off his cloak, Bartimaeus jumped up and came to Jesus.
50Naye akatupilia mbali vazi lake, akaruka juu, akamwendea Yesu.
51“What do you want Me to do for you?” Jesus asked. “Rabboni,” said the blind man, “let me see again.”
51Yesu akamwuliza, “Unataka nikufanyie nini?” Huyo kipofu akamwambia, “Mwalimu, naomba nipate kuona.”
52“Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
52Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda, imani yako imekuponya.” Mara huyo kipofu akaweza kuona, akamfuata Yesu njiani.
