Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, look at the magnificent stones and buildings!”
1Yesu alipokuwa anatoka Hekaluni, mmoja wa wanafunzi wake alimwambia, “Mwalimu, tazama jinsi mawe haya na majengo haya yalivyo ya ajabu!”
2“Do you see all these great buildings?” Jesus replied. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
2Yesu akamwambia, “Je, unayaona majengo haya makubwa? Hakuna hata jiwe moja litakalosalia juu ya lingine; kila kitu kitabomolewa.”
3While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately,
3Yesu alipokuwa ameketi juu ya mlima wa Mizeituni akielekea Hekalu, Petro, Yakobo, Yohane na Andrea wakamwuliza kwa faragha,
4“Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to be fulfilled?”
4“Twambie mambo haya yatatukia lini? Ni ishara gani itakayoonyesha kwamba mambo haya karibu yatimizwe?”
5Jesus began by telling them, “See to it that no one deceives you.
5Yesu akaanza kuwaambia, “Jihadharini msije mkadanganywa na mtu.
6Many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many.
6Maana wengi watakuja wakilitumia jina langu, wakisema, Mimi ndiye! nao watawapotosha watu wengi.
7When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.
7Mtakaposikia juu ya vita na fununu za vita, msifadhaike. Mambo hayo lazima yatokee, lakini mwisho wenyewe ungali bado.
8Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, as well as famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.
8Taifa moja litapigana na taifa lingine; utawala mmoja utapigana na utawala mwingine; kila mahali kutakuwa na mitetemeko ya ardhi na njaa. Mambo haya ni kama tu maumivu ya kwanza ya kujifungua mtoto.
9So be on your guard. You will be delivered over to the councils and beaten in the synagogues. On My account you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them.
9“Lakini ninyi jihadharini. Maana watu watawapelekeni mahakamani, na kuwapigeni katika masunagogi. Mtapelekwa mbele ya watawala na wafalme kwa sababu yangu ili mpate kunishuhudia kwao.
10And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all the nations.
10Lakini lazima kwanza Habari Njema ihubiriwe kwa mataifa yote.
11But when they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand what to say. Instead, speak whatever you are given at that time, for it will not be you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
11Nao watakapowatieni nguvuni na kuwapeleka mahakamani, msiwe na wasiwasi juu ya yale mtakayosema; saa ile itakapofika, semeni chochote mtakachopewa, maana si ninyi mtakaosema, bali Roho Mtakatifu.
12Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.
12Ndugu atamsaliti ndugu yake auawe; baba atamsaliti mwanae; watoto watawashambulia wazazi wao na kuwaua.
13You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
13Watu wote watawachukieni ninyi kwa sababu ya jina langu. Lakini atakayevumilia mpaka mwisho ndiye atakayeokolewa.
14So when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
14“Mtakapoona Chukizo Haribifu limesimama mahali ambapo si pake, (msomaji na atambue maana yake!) Hapo watu walioko Yudea wakimbilie milimani.
15Let no one on the housetop go back inside to retrieve anything from his house.
15Mtu aliye juu ya paa la nyumba asishuke kuingia nyumbani mwake kuchukua kitu.
16And let no one in the field return for his cloak.
16Aliye shambani asirudi nyuma kuchukua vazi lake.
17How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!
17Ole wao waja wazito na wanaonyonyesha siku hizo!
18Pray that this will not occur in the winter.
18Ombeni ili mambo hayo yasitukie nyakati za baridi.
19For those will be days of tribulation unmatched from the beginning of God’s creation until now, and never to be seen again.
19Maana wakati huo kutakuwa na dhiki ambayo haijatokea tangu Mungu alipoumba ulimwengu mpaka leo, wala haitatokea tena.
20If the Lord had not cut short those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has cut them short.
20Kama Bwana asingepunguza siku hizo, hakuna binadamu ambaye angeokolewa. Lakini kwa ajili ya wateule wake, Bwana amezipunguza siku hizo.
21At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.
21“Basi mtu akiwaambieni, Tazama, Kristo yupo hapa! au Yupo pale! msimsadiki.
22For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible.
22Maana watatokea kina Kristo wa uongo na manabii wa uongo, watafanya ishara na maajabu, ili kuwapotosha wateule wa Mungu, kama ikiwezekana.
23So be on your guard; I have told you everything in advance.
23Lakini ninyi jihadharini. Mimi nimewaambieni mambo yote kabla hayajatokea.
24But in those days, after that tribulation: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;
24“Basi, siku hizo baada ya dhiki hiyo, jua litatiwa giza na mwezi hautaangaza.
25the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’
25Nyota zitaanguka kutoka angani, na nguvu za mbingu zitatikiswa.
26At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
26Hapo watamwona Mwana wa Mtu akija katika mawingu kwa nguvu nyingi na utukufu.
27And He will send out the angels to gather His elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.
27Kisha atawatuma malaika wake; atawakusanya wateule wake kutoka pande zote nne za dunia, kutoka mwisho wa dunia mpaka mwisho wa mbingu.
28Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.
28“Kwa mtini jifunzeni mfano huu: Mara tu matawi yake yanapoanza kuwa laini na kuchanua majani, mnajua kwamba wakati wa kiangazi umekaribia.
29So also, when you see these things happening, know that He is near, right at the door.
29Hali kadhalika nanyi mtakapoona mambo hayo yakitendeka, jueni kwamba Mwana wa Mtu yuko karibu sana.
30Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.
30Nawaambieni kweli, kizazi hiki hakitapita kabla ya mambo hayo yote kutukia.
31Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
31Mbingu na dunia zitapita, lakini maneno yangu hayatapita kamwe.
32No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
32“Lakini hakuna mtu ajuaye siku au saa hiyo itakuja lini; wala malaika wa mbinguni, wala Mwana; Baba peke yake ndiye ajuaye.
33Be on your guard and stay alert! For you do not know when the appointed time will come.
33Muwe waangalifu na kesheni, maana hamjui wakati huo utafika lini.
34It is like a man going on a journey who left his house, put each servant in charge of his own task, and instructed the doorkeeper to keep watch.
34Itakuwa kama mtu anayeondoka nyumbani kwenda safari akiwaachia watumishi wake madaraka, kila mmoja na kazi yake; akamwambia mlinzi wa mlango awe macho.
35Therefore keep watch, because you do not know when the master of the house will return—whether in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or in the morning.
35Kesheni, basi, kwa maana hamjui mwenye nyumba atarudi lini; huenda ikawa jioni, usiku wa manane, alfajiri au asubuhi.
36Otherwise, he may arrive without notice and find you sleeping.
36Kesheni ili akija ghafla asije akawakuta mmelala.
37And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Keep watch!”
37Ninayowaambieni ninyi, nawaambia wote: Kesheni!”
