Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1Then I watched as the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say in a thunderous voice, “Come!”
1Kisha nikamwona Mwanakondoo anavunja mhuri mmojawapo wa ile mihuri saba. Nikasikia kimoja cha vile viumbe hai vinne kikisema kwa sauti kama ya ngurumo, “Njoo!”
2So I looked and saw a white horse, and its rider held a bow. And he was given a crown, and he rode out to overcome and conquer.
2Mimi nikatazama, na kumbe palikuwa na farasi mmoja mweupe hapo. Na mpanda farasi wake alikuwa na upinde, akapewa na taji. Basi, akatoka kama mshindi aendelee kushinda.
3And when the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!”
3Kisha, Mwanakondoo akavunja mhuri wa pili. Nikamsikia yule kiumbe hai wa pili akisema, “Njoo!”
4Then another horse went forth. It was bright red, and its rider was granted permission to take away peace from the earth and to make men slay one another. And he was given a great sword.
4Nami nikatazama na kumbe palikuwapo farasi mwingine hapo, mwekundu. Mpanda farasi wake alikabidhiwa jukumu la kuondoa amani duniani, watu wauane, akapewa upanga mkubwa.
5And when the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” Then I looked and saw a black horse, and its rider held in his hand a pair of scales.
5Kisha Mwanakondoo akavunja mhuri wa tatu. Nikamsikia yule kiumbe hai wa tatu akisema, “Njoo!” Nikatazama na kumbe palikuwapo farasi mmoja hapo, mweusi. Mpanda farasi wake alikuwa na vipimo viwili vya kupimia uzito mkononi mwake.
6And I heard what sounded like a voice from among the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine.”
6Nikasikia kitu kama sauti itokayo kwa vile viumbe hai vinne. Nayo ilisema, “Kibaba kimoja cha unga wa ngano wa kiasi cha fedha dinari moja, na vibaba vitatu vya shayiri kwa dinari moja. Lakini usiharibu mafuta wala divai!”
7And when the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!”
7Kisha Mwanakondoo akavunja mhuri wa nne. Nikamsikia yule kiumbe hai wa nne akisema, “Njoo!”
8Then I looked and saw a pale green horse. Its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed close behind. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill by sword, by famine, by plague, and by the beasts of the earth.
8Nami nikatazama, na kumbe alikuwapo farasi mmoja hapo, rangi yake kijivu. Na jina la mpanda farasi wake lilikuwa kifo, na Kuzimu alimfuata nyuma. Hao walipewa mamlaka juu ya robo moja ya dunia, wawaue watu kwa upanga, njaa, tauni na kwa wanyama wakali wa dunia.
9And when the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony they had upheld.
9Kisha Mwanakondoo akavunja mhuri wa tano. Nikaona pale chini ya madhabahu ya kufukizia ubani roho za wale waliouawa kwa sababu ya ujumbe wa Mungu, na kwa sababu ya ushuhuda waliotoa.
10And they cried out in a loud voice, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You avenge our blood and judge those who dwell upon the earth?”
10Basi, wakalia kwa sauti kubwa: “Ee Bwana, uliye mtakatifu na mwaminifu, mpaka lini utakawia kulipiza kisasi kwa wakazi wote wa dunia kwa ajili ya kuuawa kwetu?”
11Then each of them was given a white robe and told to rest a little while longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers, were killed, just as they had been killed.
11Wakapewa kila mmoja vazi refu jeupe, wakaambiwa wazidi kusubiri kwa muda mfupi, mpaka itakapotimia idadi ya watumishi wenzao na ndugu ambao watawaua kama wao wenyewe walivyouawa.
12And when I saw the Lamb open the sixth seal, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black like sackcloth of goat hair, and the whole moon turned blood red,
12Kisha nikatazama, na wakati Mwanakondoo alipouvunja mhuri wa sita, kukawa na tetemeko kubwa la ardhi; jua likawa jeusi kama gunia; mwezi wote ukawa mwekundu kama damu;
13and the stars of the sky fell to the earth like unripe figs dropping from a tree shaken by a great wind.
13nazo nyota za mbingu zikaanguka juu ya ardhi kama matunda ya mtini yasiyokomaa yaangukavyo wakati mti wake unapotikiswa na upepo mkali.
14The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.
14Anga likatoweka kama vile karatasi inavyokunjwakunjwa; milima yote na visima vyote vikaondolewa mahali pake.
15Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the commanders, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and free man hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
15Kisha wafalme wa duniani, wakuu, majemadari, matajiri, wenye nguvu, kila mtumwa na mtu huru, wakajificha mapangoni na kwenye majabali milimani.
16And they said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.
16Wakaiambia hiyo milima na hayo majabali, “Tuangukieni, mkatufiche mbali na yeye aketiye juu ya kiti cha enzi, na mbali na ghadhabu ya Mwanakondoo!
17For the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to withstand it?”
17Maana siku maalum ya ghadhabu yao imefika. Nani awezaye kuikabili?”
