Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1And on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalen cometh early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre; and she saw the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
1Alfajiri na mapema Jumapili, kukiwa bado na giza, Maria Magdalene alikwenda kaburini, akaliona lile jiwe limeondolewa mlangoni pa kaburi.
2She ran, therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith to them: They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
2Basi, akaenda mbio hadi kwa Petro na yule mwanafunzi mwingine ambaye Yesu alimpenda, akawaambia, “Wamemwondoa Bwana kaburini, na wala hatujui walikomweka.”
3Peter therefore went out, and that other disciple, and they came to the sepulchre.
3Petro pamoja na yule mwanafunzi mwingine wakaenda kaburini.
4And they both ran together, and that other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
4Wote wawili walikimbia lakini yule mwanafunzi mwingine alikimbia mbio zaidi kuliko Petro, akatangulia kufika kaburini.
5And when he stooped down, he saw the linen cloths lying; but yet he went not in.
5Alipoinama na kuchungulia ndani, aliona sanda, lakini hakuingia ndani.
6Then cometh Simon Peter, following him, and went into the sepulchre, and saw the linen cloths lying,
6Simoni Petro naye akaja akimfuata, akaingia kaburini; humo akaona sanda,
7And the napkin that had been about his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but apart, wrapped up into one place.
7na kile kitambaa alichofungwa Yesu kichwani. Hicho kitambaa hakikuwekwa pamoja na hiyo sanda, bali kilikuwa kimekunjwa na kuwekwa mahali peke yake.
8Then that other disciple also went in, who came first to the sepulchre: and he saw, and believed.
8Kisha yule mwanafunzi mwingine aliyemtangulia kufika kaburini, akaingia pia ndani, akaona, akaaamini.
9For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
9(Walikuwa bado hawajaelewa Maandiko Matakatifu yaliyosema kwamba ilikuwa lazima afufuke kutoka wafu).
10The disciples therefore departed again to their home.
10Basi, hao wanafunzi wakarudi nyumbani.
11But Mary stood at the sepulchre without, weeping. Now as she was weeping, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
11Maria alikuwa amesimama nje ya kaburi, akilia. Huku akiwa bado analia, aliinama na kuchungulia kaburini,
12And she saw two angels in white, sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid.
12akawaona malaika wawili waliovaa mavazi meupe, wameketi pale mwili wa Yesu ulipokuwa umelazwa, mmoja kichwani na wa pili miguuni.
13They say to her: Woman, why weepest thou? She saith to them: Because they have taken away my Lord; and I know not where they have laid him.
13Hao malaika wakamwuliza, “Mama, kwa nini unalia?” Naye akawaambia, “Wamemwondoa Bwana wangu, na wala sijui walikomweka!”
14When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing; and she knew not that it was Jesus.
14Baada ya kusema hayo, aligeuka nyuma, akamwona Yesu amesimama hapo, lakini asitambue ya kuwa ni Yesu.
15Jesus saith to her: Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, thinking it was the gardener, saith to him: Sir, if thou hast taken him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
15Yesu akamwuliza, “Mama, kwa nini unalia? Unamtafuta nani?” Maria, akidhani kwamba huyo ni mtunza bustani, akamwambia, “Mheshimiwa, kama ni wewe umemwondoa, niambie ulikomweka, nami nitamchukua.”
16Jesus saith to her: Mary. She turning, saith to him: Rabboni (which is to say, Master).
16Yesu akamwambia, “Maria!” Naye Maria akageuka, akamwambia kwa Kiebrania, “Raboni” (yaani “Mwalimu”).
17Jesus saith to her: Do not touch me, for I am not yet ascended to my Father. But go to my brethren, and say to them: I ascend to my Father and to your Father, to my God and your God.
17Yesu akamwambia, “Usinishike; sijakwenda bado juu kwa Baba. Lakini nenda kwa ndugu zangu uwaambie: nakwenda juu kwa Baba yangu na Baba yenu, Mungu wangu na Mungu wenu.”
18Mary Magdalen cometh, and telleth the disciples: I have seen the Lord, and these things he said to me.
18Hivyo Maria Magdalene akaenda akawapa habari wale wanafunzi kuwa amemwona Bwana, na kwamba alikuwa amemwambia hivyo.
19Now when it was late that same day, the first of the week, and the doors were shut, where the disciples were gathered together, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them: Peace be to you.
19Ilikuwa jioni ya siku hiyo ya Jumapili. Wanafunzi walikuwa wamekutana pamoja ndani ya nyumba, na milango ilikuwa imefungwa kwa sababu waliwaogopa viongozi wa Wayahudi. Basi, Yesu akaja, akasimama kati yao, akawaambia, “Amani kwenu!”
20And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.
20Alipokwisha sema hayo, akawaonyesha mikono yake na ubavu wake. Basi, hao wanafunzi wakafurahi mno kumwona Bwana.
21He said therefore to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent me, I also send you.
21Yesu akawaambia tena, “Amani kwenu! Kama vile Baba alivyonituma mimi, nami nawatuma ninyi.”
22When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost.
22Alipokwisha sema hayo, akawapulizia na kuwaambia, “Pokeeni Roho Mtakatifu.
23Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.
23Mkiwasamehe watu dhambi zao, wamesamehewa; msipowaondolea, hawasamehewi.”
24Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
24Thoma mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili (aitwaye Pacha), hakuwa pamoja nao wakati Yesu alipokuja.
25The other disciples therefore said to him: We have seen the Lord. But he said to them: Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.
25Basi, wale wanafunzi wengine wakamwambia, “Tumemwona Bwana.” Thoma akawaambia, “Nisipoona mikononi mwake alama za misumari, na kutia kidole changu katika kovu hizo, na kutia mkono wangu ubavuni mwake, sitasadiki.”
26And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said: Peace be to you.
26Basi, baada ya siku nane hao wanafunzi walikuwa tena pamoja mle ndani, na Thoma alikuwa pamoja nao. Milango ilikuwa imefungwa, lakini Yesu akaja, akasimama kati yao, akasema, “Amani kwenu!”
27Then he saith to Thomas: Put in thy finger hither, and see my hands; and bring hither thy hand, and put it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing.
27Kisha akamwambia Thoma, “Lete kidole chako hapa uitazame mikono yangu; lete mkono wako ukautie ubavuni mwangu. Usiwe na mashaka, ila amini!”
28Thomas answered, and said to him: My Lord, and my God.
28Thoma akamjibu, “Bwana wangu na Mungu wangu!”
29Jesus saith to him: Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and have believed.
29Yesu akamwambia, “Je, unaamini kwa kuwa umeniona? Heri yao wale ambao hawajaona, lakini wameamini.”
30Many other signs also did Jesus in the sight of his disciples, which are not written in this book.
30Yesu alifanya mbele ya wanafunzi wake ishara nyingine nyingi ambazo hazikuandikwa katika kitabu hiki.
31But these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God: and that believing, you may have life in his name.
31Lakini hizi zimeandikwa ili mpate kuamini kwamba Yesu ni Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu; na kwa kuamini mpate kuwa na uzima kwa nguvu ya jina lake.
