Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1The ancients therefore that are among you, I beseech, who am myself also an ancient, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ: as also a partaker of that glory which is to be revealed in time to come:
1wazee! Mimi niliye mzee ninalo ombi moja kwenu wazee wenzangu. Mimi mwenyewe nilishuhudia kwa macho yangu mateso ya Kristo na natumaini kuushiriki ule utukufu utakaofunuliwa. Mimi nawaombeni
2Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking care of it, not by constraint, but willingly, according to God: not for filthy lucre’s sake, but voluntarily:
2mlichunge lile kundi la Mungu mlilokabidhiwa, mlitunze si kwa kulazimika, bali kwa hiari kama atakavyo Mungu. Fanyeni kazi hiyo si kwa tamaa ya fedha, bali kwa moyo wenu wote.
3Neither as lording it over the clergy, but being made a pattern of the flock from the heart.
3Msiwatawale kwa mabavu hao waliowekwa chini ya ulinzi wenu, bali muwe mfano kwa hilo kundi.
4And when the prince of pastors shall appear, you shall receive a never fading crown of glory.
4Na wakati Mchungaji Mkuu atakapotokea, ninyi mtapokea taji ya utukufu isiyofifia.
5In like manner, ye young men, be subject to the ancients. And do you all insinuate humility one to another, for God resisteth the proud, but to the humble he giveth grace.
5Kadhalika nanyi vijana mnapaswa kujiweka chini ya mamlaka ya wazee. Ninyi nyote mnapaswa kuwa na unyenyekevu mpate kutumikiana; maana Maandiko Matakatifu yasema: “Mungu huwapinga wenye majivuno, lakini huwajalia neema wanyenyekevu.”
6Be you humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in the time of visitation:
6Basi, nyenyekeeni chini ya mkono wa enzi wa Mungu, ili awainue wakati ufaao.
7Casting all your care upon him, for he hath care of you.
7Mwekeeni matatizo yenu yote, maana yeye anawatunzeni.
8Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour.
8Muwe macho; kesheni! Maana adui yenu, Ibilisi, huzungukazunguka kama simba angurumaye akitafuta mawindo.
9Whom resist ye, strong in faith: knowing that the same affliction befalls your brethren who are in the world.
9Muwe imara katika imani na kumpinga, mkijua kwamba ndugu zenu pote duniani wanapatwa na mateso hayohayo.
10But the God of all grace, who hath called us into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself perfect you, and confirm you, and establish you.
10Lakini mkisha teseka muda mfupi, Mungu aliye asili ya neema yote na ambaye anawaiteni muushiriki utukufu wake wa milele katika kuungana na Kristo, yeye mwenyewe atawakamilisheni na kuwapeni uthabiti, nguvu na msingi imara.
11To him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.
11Kwake uwe uwezo milele! Amina.
12By Sylvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I think, I have written briefly: beseeching and testifying that this is the true grace of God, wherein you stand.
12Nimewaandikieni barua hii fupi kwa msaada wa Silwano, ndugu ambaye namjua na kumwamini. Nataka kuwapeni moyo na kushuhudia kwamba jambo hili ni neema ya Mungu kweli. Kaeni imara katika neema hiyo.
13The church that is in Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you: and so doth my son Mark.
13Jumuiya ya wenzenu walioteuliwa na Mungu hapa Babuloni wanawasalimuni. Vilevile mwanangu Marko anawasalimuni.
14Salute one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all you, who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
14Salimianeni kwa ishara ya upendo wa Kikristo. Nawatakieni amani ninyi mlio wake Kristo.
