Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1These things have I spoken to you, that you may not be scandalized.
1“Nimewaambieni hayo kusudi msiiache imani yenu.
2They will put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you, will think that he doth a service to God.
2Watu watawatenga ninyi na masunagogi yao. Tena, wakati unakuja ambapo kila atakayewaua ninyi atadhani anamhudumia Mungu.
3And these things will they do to you; because they have not known the Father, nor me.
3Watawatendeeni mambo hayo kwa sababu hawamjui Baba, wala hawanijui mimi.
4But these things I have told you, that when the hour shall come, you may remember that I told you of them.
4Basi, nimewaambieni mambo haya ili saa yake itakapofika mkumbuke kwamba niliwaambieni. “Sikuwaambieni mambo haya tangu mwanzo kwa sababu nilikuwa pamoja nanyi.
5But I told you not these things from the beginning, because I was with you. And now I go to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me: Whither goest thou?
5Lakini sasa namwendea yule aliyenituma; na hakuna hata mmoja wenu anayeniuliza: Unakwenda wapi?
6But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
6Kwa kuwa nimewaambieni mambo hayo mmejaa huzuni mioyoni mwenu.
7But I tell you the truth: it is expedient to you that I go: for if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
7Lakini, nawaambieni ukweli: afadhali kwenu mimi niende zangu, maana nisipokwenda Msaidizi hatakuja kwenu. Lakini nikienda, basi, nitamtuma kwenu.
8And when he is come, he will convince the world of sin, and of justice, and of judgment.
8Naye atakapokuja atawathibitishia walimwengu kwamba wamekosea kuhusu dhambi, uadilifu na hukumu ya Mungu.
9Of sin: because they believed not in me.
9Wamekosea kuhusu dhambi kwa sababu hawaniamini;
10And of justice: because I go to the Father; and you shall see me no longer.
10kuhusu uadilifu, kwa sababu naenda zangu kwa Baba, nanyi hamtaniona tena;
11And of judgment: because the prince of this world is already judged.
11kuhusu hukumu kwa sababu mkuu wa ulimwengu huu amekwisha hukumiwa.
12I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them now.
12“Ninayo bado mengi ya kuwaambieni, ila kwa sasa hamwezi kuyastahimili.
13But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself; but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak; and the things that are to come, he shall shew you.
13Lakini atakapokuja huyo Roho wa kweli atawaongoza kwenye ukweli wote; maana hatasema kwa mamlaka yake mwenyewe, bali atawaambieni yote atakayosikia, na atasema mambo yatakayokuwa yanakuja.
14He shall glorify me; because he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it to you.
14Yeye atanitukuza mimi kwa kuwa atawaambieni yale atakayopata kutoka kwangu.
15All things whatsoever the Father hath, are mine. Therefore I said, that he shall receive of mine, and shew it to you.
15Vyote alivyo navyo Baba ni vyangu; ndiyo maana nimesema kwamba huyo Roho Mtakatifu atawaambieni yale atakayopata kutoka kwangu.
16A little while, and now you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me: because I go to the Father.
16“Bado kitambo kidogo nanyi hamtaniona; na baada ya kitambo kidogo tena mtaniona!”
17Then some of the disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me, and, because I go to the Father?
17Hapo baadhi ya wanafunzi wake wakaulizana, “Ana maana gani anapotwambia: Bado kitambo kidogo nanyi hamtaniona; na baada ya kitambo kidogo tena mtaniona? Tena anasema: Kwa kuwa ninakwenda kwa Baba!”
18They said therefore: What is this that he saith, A little while? we know not what he speaketh.
18Basi, wakawa wanaulizana, “Ana maana gani anaposema: Bado kitambo kidogo? Hatuelewi anaongelea nini.”
19And Jesus knew that they had a mind to ask him; and he said to them: Of this do you inquire among yourselves, because I said: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me?
19Yesu alijua kwamba walitaka kumwuliza, basi akawaambia, “Je, mnaulizana juu ya yale niliyosema: Bado kitambo kidogo nanyi hamtaniona; na baada ya kitambo kidogo tena mtaniona?
20Amen, amen I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
20Nawaambieni kweli, ninyi mtalia na kuomboleza, lakini ulimwengu utafurahi: mtaona huzuni lakini huzuni yenu itageuka kuwa furaha.
21A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
21Wakati mama anapojifungua huona huzuni kwa sababu saa ya maumivu imefika; lakini akisha jifungua hayakumbuki tena maumivu hayo kwa sababu ya furaha kwamba mtu amezaliwa duniani.
22So also you now indeed have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice; and your joy no man shall take from you.
22Ninyi pia mna huzuni sasa; lakini nitawajieni tena, nanyi mtajaa furaha mioyoni mwenu, na furaha hiyo hakuna mtu atakayeiondoa kwenu.
23And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you.
23Siku hiyo hamtaniomba chochote. Kweli nawaambieni, chochote mtakachomwomba Baba kwa jina langu, atawapeni.
24Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive; that your joy may be full.
24Mpaka sasa hamjaomba chochote kwa jina langu. Ombeni nanyi mtapata ili furaha yenu ikamilike.
25These things I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh, when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will shew you plainly of the Father.
25“Nimewaambieni mambo hayo kwa mafumbo. Lakini wakati utakuja ambapo sitasema tena nanyi kwa mafumbo, bali nitawaambieni waziwazi juu ya Baba.
26In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I will ask the Father for you:
26Siku hiyo mtaomba kwa jina langu, na siwaambii kwamba nitamwomba Baba kwa niaba yenu;
27For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
27maana yeye mwenyewe anawapenda ninyi, kwa sababu ninyi mmenipenda mimi na mmeamini kwamba nimetoka kwa Mungu.
28I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again I leave the world, and I go to the Father.
28Mimi nilitoka kwa Baba, nikaja ulimwenguni; na sasa nauacha ulimwengu na kurudi kwa Baba.”
29His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no proverb.
29Basi, wanafunzi wake wakamwambia, “Ahaa! Sasa unasema waziwazi kabisa bila kutumia mafumbo.
30Now we know that thou knowest all things, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
30Sasa tunajua kwamba wewe unajua kila kitu, na huna haja ya kuulizwa maswali na mtu yeyote; kwa hiyo tunaamini kwamba umetoka kwa Mungu.”
31Jesus answered them: Do you now believe?
31Yesu akawajibu, “Je, mnaamini sasa?
32Behold, the hour cometh, and it is now come, that you shall be scattered every man to his own, and shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
32Wakati unakuja, tena umekwisha fika, ambapo ninyi nyote mtatawanyika kila mtu kwake, nami nitaachwa peke yangu. Kumbe, lakini mimi siko peke yangu, maana Baba yu pamoja nami.
33These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress: but have confidence, I have overcome the world.
33Nimewaambieni mambo haya ili mpate kuwa na amani katika kuungana nami. Ulimwenguni mtapata masumbuko; lakini jipeni moyo! Mimi nimeushinda ulimwengu!”
