Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to be judged before the unjust, and not before the saints?
1Anathubutuje mmoja wenu kumshtaki ndugu muumini mbele ya mahakama ya watu wasiomjua Mungu badala ya kumshtaki mbele ya watu wa Mungu?
2Know you not that the saints shall judge this world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
2Je, hamjui kwamba watu wa Mungu watauhukumu ulimwengu? Ikiwa basi, ulimwengu utahukumiwa nanyi, kwa nini hamstahili kuhukumu hata katika mambo madogo?
3Know you not that we shall judge angels? how much more things of this world?
3Je, hamjui kwamba, licha ya kuhukumu mambo ya kawaida ya kila siku, tutawahukumu hata malaika?
4If therefore you have judgments of things pertaining to this world, set them to judge, who are the most despised in the church.
4Mnapokuwa na mizozo juu ya mambo ya kawaida, je, mnawaita wawe mahakimu watu ambao hata hawalijali kanisa?
5I speak to your shame. Is it so that there is not among you any one wise man, that is able to judge between his brethren?
5Aibu kwenu! Ndiyo kusema hakuna hata mmoja miongoni mwenu mwenye hekima kiasi cha kuweza kutatua tatizo kati ya ndugu waumini?
6But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers.
6Badala yake, kweli imekuwa mtindo ndugu kumpeleka ndugu yake mahakamani, tena mbele ya mahakimu wasioamini.
7Already indeed there is plainly a fault among you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why do you not rather take wrong? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
7Kwa kweli huko kushtakiana tu wenyewe kwa wenyewe kwabainisha kwamba mmeshindwa kabisa! Je, haingekuwa jambo bora zaidi kwenu kudhulumiwa! Haingekuwa bora zaidi kwenu kunyang'anywa mali yenu?
8But you do wrong and defraud, and that to your brethren.
8Lakini, badala yake, ninyi ndio mnaodhulumu na kunyang'anya; tena, hayo mnawafanyia ndugu zenu!
9Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
9Au je, hamjui kwamba watu wabaya hawataurithi Utawala wa Mungu? Msijidanganye! Watu wanaoishi maisha ya uasherati, wanaoabudu sanamu, wazinzi, au walawiti,
10Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God.
10wevi, wachoyo, walevi, wasengenyaji, wanyang'anyi, hao wote hawatashiriki Utawala wa Mungu.
11And such some of you were; but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of our God.
11Baadhi yenu mlikuwa hivyo; lakini sasa mmeoshwa, mkafanywa watakatifu, na kupatanishwa na Mungu kwa jina la Bwana Yesu Kristo na kwa Roho wa Mungu wetu.
12All things are lawful to me, but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful to me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
12Mtu anaweza kusema: “Kwangu mimi kila kitu ni halali.” Sawa; lakini si kila kitu kinafaa. Nakubali kwamba kila kitu ni halali kwangu lakini sitaki kutawaliwa na kitu chochote.
13Meat for the belly, and the belly for the meats; but God shall destroy both it and them: but the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
13Unaweza kusema: “Chakula ni kwa ajili ya tumbo, na tumbo ni kwa ajili ya chakula.” Sawa; lakini Mungu ataviharibu vyote viwili. Mwili wa mtu si kwa ajili ya uzinzi bali ni kwa ajili ya kumtumikia Bwana, naye Bwana ni kwa ajili ya mwili.
14Now God hath both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up also by his power.
14Basi, Mungu aliyemfufua Bwana kutoka wafu atatufufua nasi pia kwa nguvu yake.
15Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
15Je, hamjui kwamba miili yenu ni viungo vya mwili wa Kristo? Je, mnadhani naweza kuchukua sehemu ya mwili wa Kristo na kuifanya kuwa sehemu ya mwili wa kahaba? Hata kidogo!
16Or know you not, that he who is joined to a harlot, is made one body? For they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh.
16Maana, kama mjuavyo, anayeungana na kahaba huwa mwili mmoja naye—kama ilivyoandikwa: “Nao wawili watakuwa mwili mmoja.”
17But he who is joined to the Lord, is one spirit.
17Lakini aliyejiunga na Bwana huwa roho moja naye.
18Fly fornication. Every sin that a man doth, is without the body; but he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body.
18Jiepusheni kabisa na uzinzi. Dhambi nyingine zote hutendwa nje ya mwili lakini mzinzi hutenda dhambi dhidi ya mwili wake mwenyewe.
19Or know you not, that your members are the temple of the Holy Ghost, who is in you, whom you have from God; and you are not your own?
19Je, hamjui kwamba miili yenu ni hekalu la Roho Mtakatifu aliye ndani yenu, ambaye mlimpokea kutoka kwa Mungu? Ninyi basi, si mali yenu wenyewe.
20For you are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear God in your body.
20Mlinunuliwa kwa bei kubwa. Kwa hiyo, itumieni miili yenu kwa ajili ya kumtukuza Mungu.
