Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And every one that loveth him who begot, loveth him also who is born of him.
1Kila mtu anayeamini kwamba Yesu ni Kristo, huyo ni mtoto wa Mungu; na, anayempenda mzazi humpenda pia mtoto wa huyo mzazi.
2In this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God, and keep his commandments.
2Hivi ndivyo tunavyojua kwamba tunawapenda watoto wa Mungu: Kwa kumpenda Mungu na kuzitii amri zake;
3For this is the charity of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy.
3maana kumpenda Mungu ni kuzitii amri zake. Na, amri zake si ngumu,
4For whatsoever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith.
4maana kila aliye mtoto wa Mungu anaweza kuushinda ulimwengu. Hivi ndivyo tunavyoushinda ulimwengu: kwa imani yetu.
5Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
5Nani, basi, awezaye kuushinda ulimwengu? Ni yule anayeamini kwamba Yesu ni Mwana wa Mungu.
6This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ: not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit which testifieth, that Christ is the truth.
6Yesu Kristo ndiye aliyekuja kwa maji ya ubatizo wake na kwa damu ya kifo chake. Hakuja kwa maji tu, bali kwa maji na kwa damu. Naye Roho anashuhudia kwamba ni kweli, kwani Roho ni ukweli.
7And there are three who give testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. And these three are one.
7Basi, wako mashahidi watatu:
8And there are three that give testimony on earth: the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three are one.
8Roho, maji na damu; na ushahidi wa hawa watatu waafikiana.
9If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater, because he hath testified of his Son.
9Ikiwa twaukubali ushahidi wa binadamu, ushahidi wa Mungu una uzito zaidi; na huu ndio ushahidi alioutoa Mungu mwenyewe juu ya Mwanae.
10He that believeth in the Son of God, hath the testimony of God in himself. He that believeth not the Son, maketh him a liar: because he believeth not in the testimony which God hath testified of his Son.
10Anayemwamini mwana wa Mungu anao ushahidi huo ndani yake; lakini asiyemwamini Mungu, anamfanya yeye kuwa mwongo, maana hakuamini ushahidi alioutoa Mungu juu ya Mwanae.
11And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us eternal life. And this life is in his Son.
11Na, ushahidi wenyewe ndio huu: Mungu alitupatia uzima wa milele, na uzima huo uko kwa Bwana.
12He that hath the Son, hath life. He that hath not the Son, hath not life.
12Yeyote, aliye na Mwana wa Mungu anao uzima huo; asiye na Mwana wa Mungu, hana uzima.
13These things I write to you, that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.
13Nawaandikieni mpate kujua kwamba mnao uzima wa milele ninyi mnaoamini kwa jina la Mwana wa Mungu.
14And this is the confidence which we have towards him: That, whatsoever we shall ask according to his will, he heareth us.
14Na sisi tuko thabiti mbele ya Mungu kwani tuna hakika kwamba tukimwomba chochote kadiri ya mapenzi yake, yeye hutusikiliza.
15And we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask: we know that we have the petitions which we request of him.
15Yeye hutusikiliza kila tunapomwomba; na kwa vile tunajua kwamba yeye hutusikiliza kila tunapomwomba, twajua pia kwamba atupatia yote tunayomwomba.
16He that knoweth his brother to sin a sin which is not to death, let him ask, and life shall be given to him, who sinneth not to death. There is a sin unto death: for that I say not that any man ask.
16Mtu akimwona ndugu yake ametenda dhambi isiyompeleka kwenye kifo anapaswa kumwombea kwa Mungu, naye Mungu atampatia uzima. Nasema jambo hili kuhusu wale waliotenda dhambi ambazo si za kifo. Lakini ipo dhambi yenye kumpeleka mtu kwenye kifo nami sisemi kwamba mnapaswa kumwomba Mungu kwa ajili ya hiyo.
17All iniquity is sin. And there is a sin unto death.
17Kila tendo lisilo adilifu ni dhambi, lakini kuna dhambi isiyompeleka mtu kwenye kifo.
18We know that whosoever is born of God, sinneth not: but the generation of God preserveth him, and the wicked one toucheth him not.
18Tunajua kwamba kila aliye mtoto wa Mungu hatendi dhambi, kwa sababu Mwana wa Mungu humlinda salama, na yule Mwovu hawezi kumdhuru.
19We know that we are of God, and the whole world is seated in wickedness.
19Tunajua kwamba sisi ni wake Mungu ingawa ulimwengu wote unatawaliwa na yule Mwovu.
20And we know that the Son of God is come: and he hath given us understanding that we may know the true God, and may be in his true Son. This is the true God and life eternal.
20Twajua pia kwamba Mwana wa Mungu amekuja, akatupa elimu ili tumjue Mungu wa kweli; tuishi katika muungano na Mungu wa kweli—katika muungano na Mwanae, Yesu Kristo. Huyu ndiye Mungu wa kweli, na huu ndio uzima wa milele.
21Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
21Watoto wangu, epukaneni na sanamu za miungu.
