Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1Know also this, that, in the last days, shall come dangerous times.
1Kumbuka kwamba, katika siku za mwisho kutakuwa na nyakati za taabu.
2Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked,
2watu watakuwa na ubinafsi, wenye tamaa ya fedha, wenye majivuno, wenye kujiona, wenye kumtukana Mungu, wasiowatii wazazi wao, wasio na shukrani na waovu;
3Without affection, without peace, slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful, without kindness,
3watatokea watu wasio na upendo moyoni, wasio na huruma, wachongezi, walafi na wakali; watachukia chochote kilicho chema;
4Traitors, stubborn, puffed up, and lovers of pleasures more than of God:
4watakuwa wahaini, wakaidi na waliojaa kiburi; watapenda anasa kuliko kumpenda Mungu.
5Having an appearance indeed of godliness, but denying the power thereof. Now these avoid.
5Kwa nje wataonekana kama watu wenye kumcha Mungu, lakini wataikana nguvu yake. Jiepushe kabisa na watu wa namna hiyo.
6For of these sort are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, who are led away with divers desires:
6Baadhi yao huenda katika nyumba za watu na huwateka wanawake dhaifu waliolemewa mizigo ya dhambi na ambao wanaongozwa na tamaa za kila aina;
7Ever learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth.
7wanawake ambao wanajaribu daima kujifunza lakini hawawezi kuufikia ujuzi wa huo ukweli.
8Now as Jannes and Mambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.
8Watu hao huupinga ukweli kama vile Yane na Yambre walivyompinga Mose.
9But they shall proceed no farther; for their folly shall be manifest to all men, as theirs also was.
9Lakini hawataweza kuendelea zaidi kwa maana upumbavu wao utaonekana wazi kwa wote. Ndivyo ilivyokuwa kwa akina Yane na Yambre.
10But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,
10Wewe lakini, umeyafuata mafundisho yangu, mwenendo wangu, makusudi yangu katika maisha, imani yangu, uvumilivu wangu, upendo wangu, subira yangu,
11Persecutions, afflictions: such as came upon me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra: what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord delivered me.
11udhalimu na mateso yangu. Unayajua mambo yaliyonipata huko Antiokia, Ikonio na Lustra. Nilivumilia udhalimu mkubwa mno! Lakini Bwana aliniokoa katika mambo hayo yote.
12And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.
12Kila mtu anayetaka kuishi maisha ya kumcha Mungu katika kuungana na Kristo Yesu lazima adhulumiwe.
13But evil men and seducers shall grow worse and worse: erring, and driving into error.
13Watu waovu na wadanyanyifu watazidi kuwa waovu zaidi na zaidi kwa kuwadanganya wengine na kudanganyika wao wenyewe.
14But continue thou in those things which thou hast learned, and which have been committed to thee: knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
14Lakini wewe dumu katika ukweli ule uliofundishwa, ukaukubali kabisa. Unawajua wale waliokuwa walimu wako.
15And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures, which can instruct thee to salvation, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
15Unakumbuka kwamba tangu utoto wako umeyajua Maandiko Matakatifu ambayo yaweza kukupatia hekima iletayo wokovu kwa njia ya imani kwa Kristo Yesu.
16All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice,
16Maandiko yote Matakatifu yameandikwa kwa uongozi wa Mungu, na yanafaa katika kufundishia ukweli, kuonya, kusahihisha makosa, na kuwaongoza watu waishi maisha adili,
17That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.
17ili mtu anayemtumikia Mungu awe mkamilifu, na tayari kabisa kufanya kila tendo jema.
