Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1Be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.
1Niigeni mimi kama ninavyomwiga Kristo.
2Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me: and keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you.
2Nawapeni hongera kwa sababu mnanikumbuka na kwa sababu mnayashikilia yale maagizo niliyowapeni.
3But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
3Lakini napenda pia mjue kwamba Kristo ni kichwa cha kila mwanamume, na mwanamume ni kichwa cha mkewe, na Mungu ni kichwa cha Kristo.
4Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered, disgraceth his head.
4Basi, kila mwanamume anayesali au anayetangaza ujumbe wa Mungu huku amefunika kichwa chake, huyo anamdharau Kristo.
5But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered, disgraceth her head: for it is all one as if she were shaven.
5Na mwanamke akisali au kutangaza ujumbe wa Mungu bila kufunika kichwa chake, anamdharau mumewe; anayefanya hivyo ni sawa tu na mwanamke aliyenyoa kichwa chake.
6For if a woman be not covered, let her be shorn. But if it be a shame to a woman to be shorn or made bald, let her cover her head.
6Mwanamke asiyefunika kichwa chake, afadhali anyoe nywele zake. Lakini ni aibu kwa mwanamke kukatwa nywele zake au kunyolewa; basi, afadhali afunike kichwa chake.
7The man indeed ought not to cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.
7Haifai mwanamume kufunika kichwa chake, kwa kuwa yeye ni mfano wa Mungu na kioo cha utukufu wake Mungu; lakini mwanamke ni kioo cha utukufu wa mwanamume.
8For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man.
8Mwanamume hakutoka kwa mwanamke, ila mwanamke alitoka kwa mwanamume.
9For the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.
9Mwanamume hakuumbwa kwa ajili ya mwanamke, ila mwanamke aliumbwa kwa ajili ya mwanamume.
10Therefore ought the woman to have a power over her head, because of the angels.
10Ndiyo maana mwanamke hufunika kichwa chake, iwe ishara ya mamlaka yaliyo juu yake, na pia kwa sababu ya malaika.
11But yet neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord.
11Hata hivyo, mbele ya Bwana mwanamke si kitu bila mwanamume, naye mwanamume si kitu bila mwanamke.
12For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all things of God.
12Kama vile mwanamke alivyotokana na mwanamume, vivyo hivyo mwanamume huzaliwa na mwanamke; kila kitu hutoka kwa Mungu.
13You yourselves judge: doth it become a woman, to pray unto God uncovered?
13Amueni wenyewe: Je, inafaa mwanamke kumwomba Mungu bila kuvaa kitu kichwani?
14Doth not even nature itself teach you, that a man indeed, if he nourish his hair, it is a shame unto him?
14Hata maumbile yenyewe huonyesha wazi kwamba kwa mwanamume kuwa na nywele ndefu ni aibu kwake mwenyewe;
15But if a woman nourish her hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.
15lakini kwa mwanamke kuwa na nywele ni heshima kwake; nywele zake ndefu amepewa ili zimfunike.
16But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the church of God.
16Kama mtu anataka kuleta ubishi juu ya jambo hili, basi, na ajue kwamba sisi hatuna desturi nyingine, wala makanisa ya Mungu hayana desturi nyingine.
17Now this I ordain: not praising you, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse.
17Nikiwa bado nawapeni maagizo haya, siwezi hata kidogo kuwapa ninyi hongera kuhusu haya yafuatayo: mikutano yenu ninyi waumini yaleta hasara zaidi kuliko faida.
18For first of all I hear that when you come together in the church, there are schisms among you; and in part I believe it.
18Awali ya yote, nasikia kwamba mnapokutana pamoja hutokea mafarakano kati yenu. Nami naamini kiasi,
19For there must be also heresies: that they also, who are approved, may be made manifest among you.
19maana ni lazima fikira tofauti ziweko miongoni mwenu, ili wale walio thabiti wapate kutambulikana.
20When you come therefore together into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord’s supper.
20Kweli mnakutana, lakini si kwa ajili ya kula chakula cha Bwana!
21For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk.
21Maana mnapokula kila mmoja hukikalia chakula chake mwenyewe, hata hutokea kwamba baadhi yenu wana njaa, na wengine wamelewa!
22What, have you not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God; and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? Do I praise you? In this I praise you not.
22Je, hamwezi kula na kunywa nyumbani kwenu! Au je, mnalidharau kanisa la Mungu na kuwaaibisha hao wasio na kitu? Niwaambie nini? Niwasifu? La hasha! Si kuhusu jambo hili.
23For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread.
23Maana mimi nilipokea kwa Bwana yale maagizo niliyowaachieni: kwamba, usiku ule Bwana Yesu aliotolewa, alitwaa mkate,
24And giving thanks, broke, and said: Take ye, and eat: this is my body, which shall be delivered for you: this do for the commemoration of me.
24akamshukuru Mungu, akaumega, akasema: “Huu ndio mwili wangu ulio kwa ajili yenu; fanyeni hivi kwa kunikumbuka.”
25In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me.
25Vivyo hivyo, baada ya kula, akatwaa kikombe akasema: “Hiki ni kikombe cha agano jipya linalothibitishwa kwa damu yangu. Fanyeni hivi, kila mnapokunywa, kwa kunikumbuka.”
26For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come.
26Maana kila mnapokula mkate huu na kunywa kikombe hiki, mwatangaza kifo cha Bwana, mpaka atakapokuja.
27Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.
27Kwa hiyo, kila aulaye mkate huo au kunywa kikombe cha Bwana bila kustahili, atakuwa na hatia dhidi ya mwili na damu ya Bwana.
28But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice.
28Basi, kila mtu ajichunguze mwenyewe kwanza, ndipo ale mkate huo na anywe kikombe hicho;
29For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.
29maana anayekula na kunywa bila kutambua maana ya mwili wa Bwana, anakula na kunywa hukumu yake yeye mwenyewe.
30Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you, and many sleep.
30Ndiyo maana wengi kati yenu ni dhaifu na wagonjwa, na wengine kadhaa wamekufa.
31But if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
31Kama tungejichunguza wenyewe vizuri hatungeadhibiwa hivyo.
32But whilst we are judged, we are chastised by the Lord, that we be not condemned with this world.
32Lakini tunapohukumiwa na Bwana, tunafunzwa tuwe na nidhamu, ili tusije tukahukumiwa pamoja na ulimwengu.
33Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
33Kwa hiyo, ndugu zangu, mnapokutana kula chakula cha Bwana, kila mmoja amngoje mwenzake.
34If any man be hungry, let him eat at home; that you come not together unto judgment. And the rest I will set in order, when I come.
34Na kama kuna yeyote aliye na njaa, na ale nyumbani kwake, ili kukutana kwenu kusisababishe hukumu. Lakini, kuhusu yale mambo mengine, nitawapeni maelezo nitakapokuja.
