Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1We who are strong ought to bear with the shortcomings of the weak and not to please ourselves.
1Sisi tulio imara katika imani tunapaswa kuwasaidia wale walio dhaifu wayakabili matatizo yao. Tusijipendelee sisi wenyewe tu.
2Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.
2Kila mmoja wetu anapaswa kumpendeza jirani yake kwa wema ili huyo apate kujijenga katika imani.
3For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: “The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.”
3Maana Kristo hakujipendelea mwenyewe; ila alikuwa kama yasemavyo Maandiko: “Kashfa zote walizokutolea wewe zimenipata mimi.”
4For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.
4Maana yote yalioandikwa yameandikwa kwa ajili ya kutufundisha sisi ili kutokana na saburi na faraja tupewayo na Maandiko hayo Matakatifu tupate kuwa na matumaini.
5Now may the God who gives endurance and encouragement grant you harmony with one another in Christ Jesus,
5Mungu aliye msingi wa saburi na faraja yote, awajalieni ninyi kuwa na msimamo mmoja kufuatana na mfano wake Kristo Yesu,
6so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
6ili ninyi nyote, kwa nia moja na sauti moja, mumtukuze Mungu, Baba wa Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo.
7Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring glory to God.
7Basi, karibishaneni kwa ajili ya utukufu wa Mungu kama naye Kristo alivyowakaribisheni.
8For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs,
8Maana, nawaambieni Kristo aliwatumikia Wayahudi apate kuonyesha uaminifu wa Mungu, na zile ahadi Mungu alizowapa babu zetu zipate kutimia;
9so that the Gentiles may glorify God for His mercy. As it is written: “Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to Your name.”
9ili nao watu wa mataifa mengine wapate kumtukuza Mungu kwa sababu ya huruma yake. Kama yasemavyo Maandiko Matakatifu: “Kwa sababu hiyo, nitakusifu miongoni mwa watu wa mataifa. Nitaziimba sifa za jina lako.”
10Again, it says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people.”
10Tena Maandiko yasema: “Furahini, enyi watu wa mataifa; furahini pamoja na watu wake.”
11And again: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and extol Him, all you peoples.”
11Na tena: “Enyi mataifa yote, msifuni Bwana; enyi watu wote, msifuni.”
12And once more, Isaiah says: “The Root of Jesse will appear, One who will arise to rule over the Gentiles; in Him the Gentiles will put their hope.”
12Tena Isaya asema: “Atatokea mtu katika ukoo wa Yese, naye atawatawala watu wa mataifa; nao watamtumainia.”
13Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
13Basi, Mungu aliye msingi wa matumaini, awajazeni furaha yote na amani kutokana na imani yenu; tumaini lenu lipate kuongezeka kwa nguvu ya Roho Mtakatifu.
14I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, brimming with knowledge, and able to instruct one another.
14Ndugu zangu, mimi binafsi nina hakika kwamba ninyi pia mmejaa wema, elimu yote, na mnaweza kushauriana ninyi kwa ninyi.
15However, I have written you a bold reminder on some points, because of the grace God has given me
15Lakini nimewaandikia hapa na pale katika barua hii bila woga, nipate kuwakumbusheni juu ya mambo fulani. Nimefanya hivyo kwa sababu ya neema aliyonijalia Mungu
16to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
16ya kuwa mtumishi wa Yesu Kristo kwa watu wa mataifa. Ni jukumu langu la kikuhani kuihubiri Habari Njema ya Mungu ili watu wa mataifa mengine wapate kuwa dhabihu inayokubaliwa na Mungu, dhabihu iliyotakaswa na Roho Mtakatifu.
17Therefore I exult in Christ Jesus in my service to God.
17Kwa hiyo, nikiwa nimeungana na Kristo Yesu, naweza kujivunia huduma yangu kwa ajili ya Mungu.
18I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,
18Sithubutu kusema kitu kingine chochote isipokuwa tu kile ambacho Kristo Yesu amekifanya kwa kunitumia mimi ili watu wa mataifa wapate kutii. Amefanya hivyo kwa maneno na vitendo,
19by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
19kwa nguvu ya miujiza na maajabu, na kwa nguvu ya Roho wa Mungu. Basi, kwa kusafiri kila mahali, tangu kule Yerusalemu mpaka Iluriko, nimeihubiri kikamilifu Habari Njema ya Kristo.
20In this way I have aspired to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.
20Nia yangu imekuwa daima kuihubiri Habari Njema popote pale ambapo jina la Kristo halijapata kusikika, nisije nikajenga juu ya msingi wa mtu mwingine.
21Rather, as it is written: “Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”
21Kama yasemavyo Maandiko Matakatifu: “Watu wote ambao hawakuambiwa habari zote wataona; nao wale ambao hawajapata kusikia, wataelewa.”
22That is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.
22Kwa sababu hiyo nilizuiwa mara nyingi kuja kwenu.
23But now that there are no further opportunities for me in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to visit you,
23Lakini maadam sasa nimemaliza kazi yangu pande hizi, na kwa kuwa kwa miaka mingi nimekuwa na nia kubwa ya kuja kwenu,
24I hope to see you on my way to Spain. And after I have enjoyed your company for a while, you can equip me for my journey.
24natumaini kufanya hivyo sasa. Ningependa kuwaoneni nikiwa safarini kwenda Spania na kupata msaada wenu kwa safari hiyo baada ya kufurahia kuwa kwa muda pamoja nanyi.
25Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem to serve the saints there.
25Lakini, kwa sasa nakwenda kuwahudumia watu wa Mungu kule Yerusalem.
26For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.
26Maana makanisa ya Makedonia na Akaya yemeamua kutoka mchango wao kuwasaidia watu wa Mungu walio maskini huko Yerusalem.
27They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings, they are obligated to minister to them with material blessings.
27Wao wenyewe wameamua kufanya hivyo; lakini, kwa kweli, hilo ni jukumu lao kwa hao. Maana, ikiwa watu wa mataifa mengine wameshiriki baraka za kiroho za Wayahudi, wanapaswa nao pia kuwahudumia Wayahudi katika mahitaji yao ya kidunia.
28So after I have completed this service and have safely delivered this bounty to them, I will set off to Spain by way of you.
28Nitakapokwisha tekeleza kazi hiyo na kuwakabidhi mchango huo uliokusanywa kwa ajili yao, nitawatembeleeni ninyi nikiwa safarini kwenda Spania.
29I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
29Najua ya kuwa nikija kwenu nitawaletea wingi wa baraka za Kristo.
30Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.
30Basi, ndugu zangu, nawasihi kwa kwa ajili ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo, na kwa ajili ya upendo uletwao na Roho, mniunge mkono kwa kuniombea kwa Mungu.
31Pray that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there,
31Ombeni nipate kutoka salama miongoni mwa wale wasioamini walioko Uyahudi, nayo huduma yangu huko Yerusalem ipate kukubaliwa na watu wa Mungu walioko huko.
32so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed.
32Hivyo, Mungu akipenda, nitaweza kuja kwenu na moyo wa furaha, nikapumzike pamoja nanyi.
33The God of peace be with all of you. Amen.
33Mungu aliye chanzo cha amani na awe nanyi nyote! Amina!
