Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1Paul and Sylvanus and Timothy: to the church of the Thessalonians, in God the Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ.
1Mimi Paulo, Silwano na Timotheo tunawaandikia ninyi jumuiya ya kanisa la Thesalonike, ambao ni watu wake Mungu Baba, na wa Bwana Yesu Kristo.
2Grace be to you and peace. We give thanks to God always for you all; making a remembrance of you in our prayers without ceasing,
2Tunamshukuru Mungu daima kwa ajili yenu ninyi nyote na kuwakumbukeni daima katika sala zetu.
3Being mindful of the work of your faith, and labour, and charity, and of the enduring of the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ before God and our Father:
3Maana, mbele ya Mungu Baba yetu, twakumbuka jinsi mnavyoonyesha imani yenu kwa matendo, jinsi upendo wenu unavyowawezesha kufanya kazi kwa bidii, na jinsi tumaini lenu katika Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo lilivyo thabiti.
4Knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election:
4Ndugu, twajua kwamba Mungu anawapenda na kwamba amewateua muwe watu wake,
5For our gospel hath not been unto you in word only, but in power also, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much fulness, as you know what manner of men we have been among you for your sakes.
5maana wakati tulipowahubirieni ile Habari Njema haikuwa kwa maneno tu, bali pia kwa nguvu na kwa Roho Mtakatifu, tukiwa na hakika kwamba ujumbe huo ulikuwa wa kweli. Mnajua jinsi tulivyoishi pamoja nanyi; tuliishi kwa manufaa yenu.
6And you became followers of us, and of the Lord; receiving the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Ghost:
6Ninyi mlifuata mfano wetu, na kumwiga Bwana. Ingawa mliteswa sana, mliupokea ujumbe huo kwa furaha itokayo kwa Roho Mtakatifu.
7So that you were made a pattern to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
7Kwa hiyo ninyi mmekuwa mfano mzuri kwa waumini wote wa Makedonia na Akaya.
8For from you was spread abroad the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia, and in Achaia, but also in every place, your faith which is towards God, is gone forth, so that we need not to speak any thing.
8Maana, kutokana na bidii yenu ujumbe wa Bwana umesikika si tu huko Makedonia na Akaya, bali imani yenu kwa Mungu imeenea popote. Tena hatuhitaji kusema zaidi.
9For they themselves relate of us, what manner of entering in we had unto you; and how you turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God.
9Watu hao wanazungumza juu ya ziara yetu kwenu: jinsi mlivyotukaribisha, jinsi mlivyoziacha sanamu mkamgeukia Mungu aliye hai na wa kweli,
10And to wait for his Son from heaven (whom he raised up from the dead,) Jesus, who hath delivered us from the wrath to come.
10na sasa mwamngojea Mwanae ashuke kutoka mbinguni, Yesu, ambaye Mungu alimfufua kutoka wafu, na ambaye anatuokoa katika ghadhabu ya Mungu inayokuja.
