Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1Let us fear therefore lest the promise being left of entering into his rest, any of you should be thought to be wanting.
1Mungu alituahidia kwamba tutaweza kupata pumziko hilo alilosema. Basi, na tuogope ili yeyote kati yenu asije akashindwa kupata pumziko hilo.
2For unto us also it hath been declared, in like manner as unto them. But the word of hearing did not profit them, not being mixed with faith of those things they heard.
2Maana Habari Njema imehubiriwa kwetu kama vile ilivyohubiriwa kwa hao watu wa kale. Lakini ujumbe huo haukuwafaa chochote, maana waliusikia lakini hawakuupokea kwa imani.
3For we, who have believed, shall enter into rest; as he said: As I have sworn in my wrath; If they shall enter into my rest; and this indeed when the works from the foundation of the world were finished.
3Basi, sisi tunaoamini tunapata pumziko hilo aliloahidi Mungu. Kama alivyosema: “Nilikasirika, nikaapa: Hawataingia huko ambako ningewapa pumziko.” Mungu alisema hayo ingawa kazi yake ilikuwa imekwisha malizika tangu alipoumba ulimwengu.
4For in a certain place he spoke of the seventh day thus: And God rested the seventh day from all his works.
4Maana Maandiko yasema mahali fulani kuhusu siku ya saba: “Mungu alipumzika siku ya saba, akaacha kazi zake zote.”
5And in this place again: If they shall enter into my rest.
5Tena jambo hili lasemwa pia: “Hawataingia huko ambako ningewapa pumziko.”
6Seeing then it remaineth that some are to enter into it, and they, to whom it was first preached, did not enter because of unbelief:
6Wale waliotangulia kuhubiriwa Habari Njema hawakupata pumziko hilo kwa sababu hawakuamini. Wapo, basi, wengine ambao wangejaliwa kulipata.
7Again he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, Today, after so long a time, as it is above said: Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
7Jambo hili ni wazi, kwani Mungu aliweka siku nyingine ambayo inaitwa “Leo”. Miaka mingi baadaye Mungu alisema juu ya hiyo siku kwa maneno ya Daudi katika Maandiko yaliyokwisha tajwa: “Kama mkisikia sauti ya Mungu leo, msiifanye mioyo yenu kuwa migumu.”
8For if Jesus had given them rest, he would never have afterwards spoken of another day.
8Kama Yoshua angaliwapa watu hao hilo pumziko, Mungu hangalisema baadaye juu ya siku nyingine.
9There remaineth therefore a day of rest for the people of God.
9Kwa hiyo, basi, bado lipo pumziko kwa watu wa Mungu kama kule kupumzika kwake Mungu siku ya saba.
10For he that is entered into his rest, the same also hath rested from his works, as God did from his.
10Maana, kila anayepata pumziko aliloahidi Mungu atapumzika baada ya kazi yake kama vile pia Mungu alivyopumzika baada ya yake.
11Let us hasten therefore to enter into that rest; lest any man fall into the same example of unbelief.
11Basi, tujitahidi kupata pumziko hilo, ili asiwepo yeyote miongoni mwenu atakayeshindwa, kama walivyofanya wao kwa sababu ya ukosefu wao wa imani.
12For the word of God is living and effectual, and more piercing than any two edged sword; and reaching unto the division of the soul and the spirit, of the joints also and the marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
12Neno la Mungu ni hai na lina nguvu; ni kali zaidi kuliko upanga wenye makali kuwili. Hukata kabisa mpaka mahali ambapo moyo na roho hukutana, mpaka pale vikutanapo viungo vya mwili na mafuta. Neno hilo huchambua nia na fikira za mioyo ya watu.
13Neither is there any creature invisible in his sight: but all things are naked and open to his eyes, to whom our speech is.
13Hakuna kiumbe chochote kilichofichika mbele ya Mungu; kila kitu kimefunuliwa wazi mbele ya macho yake. Kwake, sisi sote tutapaswa kutoa hoja ya matendo yetu.
14Having therefore a great high priest that hath passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God: let us hold fast our confession.
14Basi, tunapaswa kuzingatia kwa uthabiti imani tunayoiungama. Maana tunaye Kuhani Mkuu aliyeingia mpaka kwa Mungu mwenyewe—Yesu, Mwana wa Mungu.
15For we have not a high priest, who can not have compassion on our infirmities: but one tempted in all things like as we are, without sin.
15Huyu Kuhani Mkuu wetu si mmoja ambaye hawezi kutuunga mkono katika unyonge wetu, ila ni Kuhani Mkuu ambaye alijaribiwa kama sisi kwa kila namna lakini hakutenda dhambi.
16Let us go therefore with confidence to the throne of grace: that we may obtain mercy, and find grace in seasonable aid.
16Basi, na tukikaribie bila hofu kiti cha enzi cha Mungu, palipo na neema, ili tukajipatie huruma na neema ya kutusaidia wakati wa lazima.
