Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1And after these things the Lord appointed also other seventy-two: and he sent them two and two before his face into every city and place whither he himself was to come.
1Baada ya hayo, Bwana aliwachagua wengine sabini na wawili, akawatuma wawiliwawili, wamtangulie katika kila kijiji na mahali ambapo yeye mwenyewe alitaka kwenda.
2And he said to them: The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send labourers into his harvest.
2Akawaambia, “Mavuno ni mengi, lakini wavunaji ni wachache. Kwa hivyo, mwombeni mwenye shamba atume wavunaji shambani mwake.
3Go: Behold I send you as lambs among wolves.
3Sasa nendeni; fahamuni kwamba ninawatuma ninyi kama kondoo wanaokwenda kati ya mbwa mwitu.
4Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way.
4Msichukue mfuko wa fedha, mkoba, wala viatu; msimsalimu mtu yeyote njiani.
5Into whatsoever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house.
5Mkiingia katika nyumba yoyote, kwanza wasalimuni hivi: Amani iwe katika nyumba hii!
6And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you.
6Kama akiwako mwenye kupenda amani, amani yenu itakaa naye, la sivyo, itawarudieni.
7And in the same house, remain, eating and drinking such things as they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house.
7Kaeni katika nyumba hiyo mkila na kunywa wanavyowapeni, maana mfanyakazi anastahili mshahara wake. Msiende mara nyumba hii mara nyumba ile.
8And into what city soever you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.
8Kama mkifika mji fulani na watu wakiwakaribisha, kuleni wanavyowapeni.
9And heal the sick that are therein, and say to them: The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
9Ponyeni wagonjwa walioko huko, waambieni watu: Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia kwenu.
10But into whatsoever city you enter, and they receive you not, going forth into the streets thereof, say:
10Lakini mkiingia katika mji wowote, wasipowakaribisheni, tokeni; nanyi mpitapo katika barabara zao semeni:
11Even the very dust of your city that cleaveth to us, we wipe off against you. Yet know this, that the kingdom of God is at hand.
11Hata mavumbi ya mji wenu yaliyoshikamana na miguu yetu tunawakung'utieni. Lakini, jueni kwamba Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia.
12I say to you, it shall be more tolerable at that day for Sodom, than for that city.
12Hakika nawaambieni, siku ile mji huo utapata adhabu kubwa zaidi kuliko ile ya watu wa Sodoma.
13Woe to thee, Corozain, woe to thee, Bethsaida. For if in Tyre and Sidon had been wrought the mighty works that have been wrought in you, they would have done penance long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
13“Ole wako Korazini! Ole wako Bethsaida! Maana, kama miujiza iliyofanyika kwenu ingalifanyika kule Tiro na Sidoni, watu wake wangalikwishavaa mavazi ya gunia kitambo, na kukaa katika majivu kuonyesha kwamba wametubu.
14But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgement, than for you.
14Hata hivyo, Siku ya Hukumu ninyi mtapata adhabu kubwa zaidi kuliko ile ya watu wa Tiro na Sidoni.
15And thou, Capharnaum, which art exalted unto heaven, thou shalt be thrust down to hell.
15Na wewe Kafarnaumu, unataka kujikweza mpaka mbinguni? La; utaporomoshwa mpaka Kuzimu.”
16He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me.
16Halafu akasema, “Anayewasikiliza ninyi, ananisikiliza mimi; na anayekataa kuwapokea ninyi, anakataa kunipokea mimi. Yeyote anayekataa kunipokea, anakataa kumpokea yule aliyenituma.”
17And the seventy-two returned with joy, saying: Lord, the devils also are subject to us in thy name.
17Baadaye, wale sabini na wawili walirudi wamejaa furaha, wakisema, “Bwana, hata pepo wametutii tulipolitaja jina lako.”
18And he said to them: I saw Satan like lightening falling from heaven.
18Yeye akawaambia, “Nilimwona Shetani jinsi alivyokuwa anaporomoka kama umeme kutoka mbinguni.
19Behold, I have given you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall hurt you.
19Naam, nimewapeni uwezo wa kukanyaga nyoka na ng'e, na uwezo juu ya nguvu zote za yule adui; hakuna chochote kitakachowadhuru.
20But yet rejoice not in this, that spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice in this, that your names are written in heaven.
20Hata hivyo, msifurahi kwa sababu pepo wamewatii, bali furahini kwa sababu majina yenu yameandikwa mbinguni.”
21In that same hour, he rejoiced in the Holy Ghost, and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to little ones. Yea, Father, for so it hath seemed good in thy sight.
21Saa ileile, Yesu akafurahi kwa uwezo wa Roho Mtakatifu, akasema, “Nakushukuru ee Baba, Bwana wa mbingu na dunia, kwa kuwa umewaficha wenye hekima na elimu mambo haya, ukawafumbulia wadogo. Naam, Baba, ndivyo ilivyokupendeza.”
22All things are delivered to me by my Father; and no one knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and to whom the Son will reveal him.
22Kisha akasema, “Baba yangu ameweka yote mikononi mwangu. Hakuna amjuaye Mwana ni nani ila Baba, wala amjuaye Baba ni nani ila Mwana, na yeyote yule ambaye Mwana anataka kumfunulia hayo.”
23And turning to his disciples, he said: Blessed are the eyes that see the things which you see.
23Halafu akawaelekea wafuasi wake akawaambia, “Heri wanaoona yale mnayoyaona ninyi!
24For I say to you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things that you hear, and have not heard them.
24Hakika, manabii na wafalme walitamani kuona yale mnayoyaona ninyi wasiyaone, na kusikia yale mnayoyasikia wasiyasikie.”
25And behold a certain lawyer stood up, tempting him, and saying, Master, what must I do to possess eternal life?
25Baadaye mwalimu mmoja wa Sheria alisimama akamwuliza akitaka kumtega, “Mwalimu, nifanye nini ili nipate uzima wa milele?”
26But he said to him: What is written in the law? how readest thou?
26Yesu akamwuliza, “Imeandikwa nini katika Sheria? Unaelewaje?”
27He answering, said: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind: and thy neighbour as thyself.
27Akamjibu, “Mpende Bwana Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote, kwa roho yako yote, kwa nguvu zako zote na kwa akili yako yote. Na, mpende jirani yako kama unavyojipenda mwenyewe.”
28And he said to him: Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
28Yesu akawaambia, “Vema! Fanya hivyo, nawe utaishi.”
29But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbour?
29Lakini yeye akitaka kujihakikishia kuwa mwema akamwuliza Yesu, “Na jirani yangu ni nani?”
30And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped him, and having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead.
30Yesu akamjibu, “Mtu mmoja alikuwa anashuka kutoka Yerusalemu kwenda Yeriko. Alipokuwa njiani, alivamiwa na majambazi, wakamnyang'anya mali yake na kumpiga, wakamwacha amelala pale nusu mfu.
31And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the same way: and seeing him, passed by.
31Kumbe, kuhani mmoja akawa anapita barabara ileile, akamwona, akapita kando.
32In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by.
32Hali kadhalika na Mlawi mmoja, alipofika mahali akamwona, akapita kando.
33But a certain Samaritan being on his journey, came near him; and seeing him, was moved with compassion.
33Lakini Msamaria mmoja aliyekuwa anasafiri, alifika pale yule mtu alipokuwa, naye alipomwona, alimwonea huruma.
34And going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine: and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
34Akamwendea, akamtibu majeraha yake kwa kumtia mafuta na divai; na kuyafunga halafu akampandisha juu ya punda wake akampeleka katika nyumba moja ya wageni akamuuguza.
35And the next day he took out two pence, and gave to the host, and said: Take care of him; and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above, I, at my return, will repay thee.
35Kesho yake akatoa fedha dinari mbili akampa yule mwenye nyumba, akamwambia, Muuguze mtu huyu; na chochote utakachotumia zaidi, nitakulipa nitakaporudi.”
36Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbour to him that fell among the robbers?
36Kisha Yesu akauliza, “Kati ya hao watatu, ni yupi aliyeonyesha kuwa jirani yake yule aliyevamiwa na majambazi?”
37But he said: He that shewed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou in like manner.
37Yule mwalimu wa Sheria akamjibu, “Ni yule aliyemwonea huruma.” Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda ukafanye vivyo hivyo.”
38Now it came to pass as they went, that he entered into a certain town: and a certain woman named Martha, received him into her house.
38Walipokuwa safarini, waliingia katika kijiji kimoja na mwanamke mmoja, aitwaye Martha, alimkaribisha nyumbani kwake.
39And she had a sister called Mary, who sitting also at the Lord’s feet, heard his word.
39Martha alikuwa na dada yake aitwaye Maria; huyu aliketi karibu na Yesu akisikiliza mafundisho yake.
40But Martha was busy about much serving. Who stood and said: Lord, hast thou no care that my sister hath left me alone to serve? speak to her therefore, that she help me.
40Lakini Martha alikuwa anashughulika na mambo mengi. Basi, akamwendea Yesu, akamwambia, “Bwana, hivi hujali kwamba dada yangu ameniacha nishughulike peke yangu? Mwambie basi, anisaidie.”
41And the Lord answering, said to her: Martha, Martha, thou art careful, and art troubled about many things:
41Lakini Bwana akamjibu, “Martha, Martha, unahangaika na kusumbuka kwa mambo mengi.
42But one thing is necessary. Mary hath chosen the best part, which shall not be taken away from her.
42Kitu kimoja tu ni muhimu. Maria amechagua kitu bora zaidi ambacho hakuna mtu atakayemnyag'anya.”
