Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit, perfecting sactification in the fear of God.
1Basi, wapenzi wangu, tukiwa tumepewa ahadi hizi zote, na tujitakase na chochote kiwezacho kuchafua miili na roho zetu, tuwe watakatifu kabisa, na tuishi kwa kumcha Mungu.
2Receive us. We have injured no man, we have corrupted no man, we have overreached no man.
2Tunaomba mtupe nafasi mioyoni mwenu! Hatujamkosea mtu yeyote, hatujamdhuru wala kumdanganya mtu yeyote.
3I speak not this to your condemnation. For we have said before, that you are in our hearts, to die together, and to live together.
3Sisemi mambo haya kwa ajili ya kumhukumu mtu; maana, kama nilivyokwisha sema, ninyi mko mioyoni mwetu, tufe pamoja, tuishi pamoja.
4Great is my confidence for you, great is my glorying for you. I am filled with comfort: I exceedingly abound with joy in all our tribulation.
4Nina imani kubwa sana ninaposema nanyi; naona fahari kubwa juu yenu! Katika taabu zetu nimepata kitulizo kikubwa na kufurahi mno.
5For also when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we suffered all tribulation; combats without, fears within.
5Hata baada ya kufika Makedonia hatukuweza kupumzika. Kila upande tulikabiliwa na taabu: nje ugomvi; ndani hofu.
6But God, who comforteth the humble, comforted us by the coming of Titus.
6Lakini Mungu, mwenye kuwapa shime wanyonge alitupa moyo sisi pia kwa kuja kwake Tito.
7And not by his coming only, but also by the consolation, wherewith he was comforted in you, relating to us your desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more.
7Si tu kwa kule kuja kwake Tito, bali pia kwa sababu ya moyo mliompa ninyi. Yeye ametuarifu jinsi mnavyotamani kuniona, jinsi mlivyo na huzuni, na mnavyotaka kunitetea. Jambo hili linanifurahisha sana.
8For although I made you sorrowful by my epistle, I do not repent; and if I did repent, seeing that the same epistle (although but for a time) did make you sorrowful;
8Maana, hata kama kwa barua ile yangu nimewahuzunisha, sioni sababu ya kujuta. Naam, naona kwamba barua hiyo iliwatia huzuni lakini kwa muda.
9Now I am glad: not because you were made sorrowful; but because you were made sorrowful unto penance. For you were made sorrowful according to God, that you might suffer damage by us in nothing.
9Sasa nafurahi, si kwa sababu mmehuzunika, ila kwa kuwa huzuni yenu imewafanya mbadili nia zenu na kutubu. Mmehuzunishwa kadiri ya mpango wa Mungu, na kwa sababu hiyo hatukuwadhuru ninyi kwa vyovyote.
10For the sorrow that is according to God worketh penance, steadfast unto salvation; but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
10Kuwa na huzuni jinsi atakavyo Mungu, husababisha badiliko la moyo, badiliko lenye kuleta wokovu; hivyo hakuna sababu ya kujuta. Lakini huzuni ya kidunia huleta kifo.
11For behold this selfsame thing, that you were made sorrowful according to God, how great carefulness it worketh in you; yea defence, yea indignation, yea fear, yea desire, yea zeal, yea revenge: in all things you have shewed yourselves to be undefiled in the matter.
11Sasa mnaweza kuona matokeo ya kuona huzuni jinsi Mungu atakavyo: ninyi mmepata kuwa sasa watu wenye jitihada, wenye hoja, mnashtuka na kuogopa, mna bidii na mko tayari kuona kwamba haki yatekelezwa. Ninyi mmethibitisha kwa kila njia kwamba hamna hatia kuhusu jambo hili.
12Wherefore although I wrote to you, it was not for his sake that I did the wrong, nor for him that suffered it; but to manifest our carefulness that we have for you
12Hivyo, ingawa niliandika ile barua, haikuwa kwa ajili ya yule aliyekosa, au kwa ajili ya yule aliyekosewa. Niliandika kusudi ionekane wazi mbele ya Mungu jinsi mlivyo na bidii kwa ajili yetu.
13Before God: therefore we were comforted. But in our consolation, we did the more abundantly rejoice for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
13Ndiyo maana sisi tulifarijika sana. Siyo kwamba tulifarijika tu, ila pia Tito alitufurahisha kwa furaha aliyokuwa nayo kutokana na jinsi mlivyomchangamsha moyo.
14And if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I have not been put to shame; but as we have spoken all things to you in truth, so also our boasting that was made to Titus is found a truth.
14Mimi nimewasifu sana mbele yake, na katika jambo hilo sikudanganyika. Tumewaambieni ukweli daima, na kule kuwasifia ninyi mbele ya Tito kumekuwa jambo la ukweli mtupu.
15And his bowels are more abundantly towards you; remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you have received him.
15Hivyo upendo wake wa moyo kwenu unaongezeka zaidi akikumbuka jinsi ninyi nyote mlivyo tayari kutii, na jinsi mlivyomkaribisha kwa hofu nyingi na kutetemeka.
16I rejoice that in all things I have confidence in you.
16Nafurahi sana kwamba naweza kuwategemea ninyi kabisa katika kila jambo.
