Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1The former indeed had also justifications of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
1Agano la kwanza lilikuwa na taratibu zake za ibada na pia mahali patakatifu pa ibada palipojengwa na watu.
2For there was a tabernacle made the first, wherein were the candlesticks, and the table, and the setting forth of loaves, which is called the holy.
2Palitengenezwa hema ambayo sehemu yake ya nje iliitwa Mahali Patakatifu. Humo mlikuwa na kinara cha taa, meza na mikate iliyotolewa kwa Mungu.
3And after the second veil, the tabernacle, which is called the holy of holies:
3Nyuma ya pazia la pili, kulikuwa na hema iliyoitwa Mahali Patakatifu Kupita Pote.
4Having a golden censer, and the ark of the testament covered about on every part with gold, in which was a golden pot that had manna, and the rod of Aaron, that had blossomed, and the tables of the testament.
4Humo mlikuwa na madhabahu ya dhahabu kwa ajili ya kufukizia ubani, na Sanduku la Agano, ambalo lilikuwa limepakwa dhahabu pande zote, na ndani yake mlikuwa na chungu cha dhahabu kilichokuwa na mana; fimbo ya Aroni iliyokuwa imechanua majani, na vile vibao viwili vilivyoandikwa agano.
5And over it were the cherubims of glory overshadowing the propitiatory: of which it is not needful to speak now particularly.
5Juu ya hilo Sanduku kulikuwa na viumbe vilivyodhihirisha kuweko kwa Mungu, na mabawa yao yalitanda juu ya mahali ambapo dhambi huondolewa. Lakini sasa, hatuwezi kusema kinaganaga juu ya mambo hayo.
6Now these things being thus ordered, into the first tabernacle the priests indeed always entered, accomplishing the offices of sacrifices.
6Mipango hiyo ilitekelezwa kisha ikawa desturi kwa makuhani kuingia kila siku katika hema ya nje kutoa huduma zao.
7But into the second, the high priest alone, once a year: not without blood, which he offereth for his own, and the people’s ignorance:
7Lakini kuhani Mkuu peke yake ndiye anayeingia katika lile hema la pili; naye hufanya hivyo mara moja tu kwa mwaka. Anapoingia ndani huwa amechukua damu ambayo anamtolea Mungu kwa ajili yake mwenyewe na kwa ajili ya dhambi ambazo watu wamezitenda bila wao wenyewe kujua.
8The Holy Ghost signifying this, that the way into the holies was not yet made manifest, whilst the former tabernacle was yet standing.
8Kutokana na taratibu hizo Roho Mtakatifu anafundisha wazi kwamba wakati ile hema ya nje ingali ipo imesimama, njia ya kuingia Mahali Patakatifu haijafunguliwa.
9Which is a parable of the time present: according to which gifts and sacrifices are offered, which can not, as to the conscience, make him perfect that serveth, only in meats and in drinks,
9Jambo hili ni mfano wa nyakati za sasa. Linaonyesha kwamba zawadi na dhabihu zinazotolewa kwa Mungu haziwezi kuifanya mioyo ya wale wanaoabudu kuwa mikamilifu,
10And divers washings, and justices of the flesh laid on them until the time of correction.
10kwani haya yote yanahusika na vyakula, vinywaji na taratibu mbalimbali za kutawadha. Yote hayo ni maagizo ya njenje tu; na nguvu yake hukoma wakati Mungu atakaporekebisha vitu vyote.
11But Christ, being come an high priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, that is, not of this creation:
11Lakini Kristo amekwisha fika, akiwa Kuhani Mkuu wa mambo yaliyo mema, ambayo sasa yamekwisha fika. Yeye anatoa huduma zake katika hema iliyo bora na kamilifu zaidi, isiyofanywa kwa mikono ya watu, yaani isiyo ya ulimwengu huu ulioumbwa.
12Neither by the blood of goats, or of calves, but by his own blood, entered once into the holies, having obtained eternal redemption.
12Yeye aliingia Mahali Patakatifu mara moja tu, tena hakuwa amechukua damu ya mbuzi wala ng'ombe, bali aliingia kwa damu yake yeye mwenyewe, akatupatia ukombozi wa milele.
13For if the blood of goats and of oxen, and the ashes of an heifer being sprinkled, sanctify such as are defiled, to the cleansing of the flesh:
13Watu waliokuwa najisi kidini waliweza kutakasika na kuwa safi waliponyunyiziwa damu ya mbuzi na ya ng'ombe pamoja na majivu ya ndama.
14How much more shall the blood of Christ, who by the Holy Ghost offered himself unspotted unto God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, to serve the living God?
14Lakini, kwa damu ya Kristo, mambo makuu zaidi hufanyika! Kwa nguvu za Roho wa milele, Kristo alijitolea mwenyewe dhabihu kamilifu kwa Mungu. Damu yake itatutakasa dhamiri zetu kutokana na matendo yaletayo kifo, ili tupate kumtumikia Mungu aliye hai.
15And therefore he is the mediator of the new testament: that by means of his death, for the redemption of those transgressions, which were under the former testament, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
15Kwa hiyo, Kristo ndiye aliyeratibisha agano jipya ili wale walioitwa na Mungu wazipokee baraka za milele walizoahidiwa. Watazipata, kwani kifo kimetokea ambacho huwakomboa watu kutoka yale makosa waliyofanya wakati wa lile agano la kale.
16For where there is a testament, the death of the testator must of necessity come in.
16Kwa kawaida wosia hutambuliwa tu kama kifo cha yule aliyeufanya huo wosia kimethibitishwa.
17For a testament is of force, after men are dead: otherwise it is as yet of no strength, whilst the testator liveth.
17Wosia hauwezi kutekelezwa mpaka kumetokea kifo, kwani wosia hauna maana ikiwa mwenye kuufanya bado anaishi.
18Whereupon neither was the first indeed dedicated without blood.
18Ndiyo maana hata lile agano la kwanza halikuwekwa bila damu kumwagwa.
19For when every commandment of the law had been read by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
19Kwanza Mose aliwatangazia watu wote amri zote kama ilivyokuwa katika Sheria; kisha akachukua damu ya ndama pamoja na maji, na kwa kutumia majani ya mti uitwao husopo na pamba nyekundu, akakinyunyizia kile kitabu cha Sheria na hao watu wote.
20Saying: This is the blood of the testament, which God hath enjoined unto you.
20Mose alisema: “Hii ni damu inayothibitisha agano mliloamriwa na Mungu mlitii.”
21The tabernacle also and all the vessels of the ministry, in like manner, he sprinkled with blood.
21Vilevile Mose aliinyunyizia damu ile hema na vyombo vya ibada.
22And almost all things, according to the law, are cleansed with blood: and without shedding of blood there is no remission.
22Naam, kadiri ya Sheria karibu kila kitu chaweza kutakaswa kwa damu, na dhambi nazo zaondolewa tu ikiwa damu imemwagwa.
23It is necessary therefore that the patterns of heavenly things should be cleansed with these: but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
23Vitu hivi ambavyo ni mfano tu wa mambo halisi ya mbinguni, vililazimika kutakaswa kwa namna hiyo. Lakini vitu vya mbinguni huhitaji dhabihu iliyo bora zaidi.
24For Jesus is not entered into the holies made with hands, the patterns of the true: but into heaven itself, that he may appear now in the presence of God for us.
24Maana Kristo hakuingia Mahali Patakatifu palipojengwa kwa mikono ya watu, ambapo ni mfano tu wa kile kilicho halisi. yeye aliingia mbinguni kwenyewe ambako sasa anasimama mbele ya Mungu kwa ajili yetu.
25Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holies, every year with the blood of others:
25Kuhani Mkuu wa Wayahudi huingia Mahali Patakatifu kila mwaka akiwa amechukua damu ya mnyama; lakini Kristo hakuingia humo ili ajitoe mwenyewe mara nyingi,
26For then he ought to have suffered often from the beginning of the world: but now once at the end of ages, he hath appeared for the destruction of sin, by the sacrifice of himself.
26maana ingalikuwa hivyo, Kristo angalipaswa kuteswa mara nyingi tangu kuumbwa ulimwengu. Lakini sasa nyakati hizi zinapokaribia mwisho wake, yeye ametokea mara moja tu, kuondoa dhambi kwa kujitoa yeye mwenyewe dhabihu.
27And as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgment:
27Basi, kama vile kila mtu hufa mara moja tu, kisha husimama mbele ya hukumu ya Mungu,
28So also Christ was offered once to exhaust the sins of many; the second time he shall appear without sin to them that expect him unto salvation.
28vivyo hivyo Kristo naye alijitoa dhabihu mara moja tu kwa ajili ya kuziondoa dhambi za wengi. Atakapotokea mara ya pili si kwa ajili ya kupambana na dhambi, bali ni kwa ajili ya kuwaokoa wale wanaomngojea.
