Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1Now the Spirit manifestly saith, that in the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error, and doctrines of devils,
1Roho asema waziwazi kwamba siku za baadaye watu wengine wataitupilia mbali imani; watazitii roho danganyifu na kufuata mafundisho ya pepo.
2Speaking lies in hypocrisy, and having their conscience seared,
2Mafundisho ya namna hiyo yanaenezwa na watu waongo wadanganyifu, ambao dhamiri zao ziko kama zimechomwa kwa chuma cha moto.
3Forbidding to marry, to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and by them that have known the truth.
3Watu hao hufundisha kwamba ni makosa kuona na pia kula vyakula fulani. Lakini Mungu aliviumba vyakula hivyo, ili wale walio waumini na ambao wanapata kuujua ukweli, wavitumie kwa shukrani.
4For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected that is received with thanksgiving:
4Kila kitu alichoumba Mungu ni chema, wala hakuna kinachohitaji kukataliwa, bali vyote vipokelewe kwa sala ya shukrani,
5For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
5kwa sababu neno la Mungu na sala hukifanya kitu hicho kikubalike kwa Mungu.
6These things proposing to the brethren, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished up in the words of faith, and of the good doctrine which thou hast attained unto.
6Kama ukiwapa ndugu wote maagizo haya, utakuwa mtumishi mwema wa Kristo Yesu, ukijiendeleza kiroho kwa maneno ya imani na mafundisho ya kweli, ambayo wewe umeyafuata.
7But avoid foolish and old wives’ fables: and exercise thyself unto godliness.
7Lakini achana na hadithi zile zisizo za kidini na ambazo hazina maana. Jizoeshe kuishi maisha ya uchaji wa Mungu.
8For bodily exercise is profitable to little: but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
8Mazoezi ya mwili yana faida yake, lakini mazoezi ya kiroho yana faida za kila namna, maana yanatuahidia uzima katika maisha ya sasa, na pia hayo yanayokuja.
9A faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
9Usemi huo ni wa kusadikika kabisa na unastahili kukubaliwa.
10For therefore we labor and are reviled, because we hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful.
10Sisi tunajitahidi na kufanya kazi kwa bidii kwani tumemwekea tumaini letu Mungu aliye hai ambaye ni Mwokozi wa watu wote, na hasa wale wanaoamini.
11These things command and teach.
11Wape maagizo hayo na mafundisho hayo.
12Let no man despise thy youth: but be thou an example of the faithful in word, in conversation, in charity, in faith, in chastity.
12Usikubali mtu yeyote akudharau kwa sababu wewe ni kijana, lakini jitahidi uwe mfano kwa wanaoamini: katika usemi wako, mwenendo wako, upendo, imani na maisha safi.
13Till I come, attend unto reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine.
13Tumia wakati wako na juhudi yako katika kusoma hadharani Maandiko Matakatifu, kuhubiri na kufundisha, mpaka nitakapokuja.
14Neglect not the grace that is in thee, which was given thee by prophesy, with imposition of the hands of the priesthood.
14Usiache kukitumia kile kipaji cha Kristo ndani yako ulichopewa kwa maneno ya manabii na kwa kuwekewa mikono na wazee.
15Meditate upon these things, be wholly in these things: that thy profiting may be manifest to all.
15Fikiri kwa makini juu ya hayo yote na kuyatekeleza kusudi maendeleo yako yaonekane na wote.
16Take heed to thyself and to doctrine: be earnest in them. For in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee.
16Angalia sana mambo yako mwenyewe, na mafundisho yako. Endelea kufanya hayo maana ukifanya hivyo utajiokoa mwenyewe na wale wanaokusikiliza.
