Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1And it came to pass, that on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, with the ancients, met together,
1Siku moja, Yesu alipokuwa akiwafundisha watu Hekaluni na kuwahubiria juu ya Habari Njema, makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria pamoja na wazee walifika,
2And spoke to him, saying: Tell us, by what authority dost thou these things? or, Who is he that hath given thee this authority?
2wakasema, “Tuambie! Unafanya mambo haya kwa mamlaka gani?”
3And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one thing. Answer me:
3Yesu akawaambia, “Na mimi nitawaulizeni swali:
4The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
4mamlaka ya Yohane ya kubatiza yalitoka kwa Mungu au kwa watu?”
5But they thought within themselves, saying: If we shall say, From heaven: he will say: Why then did you not believe him?
5Lakini wao wakajadiliana hivi: “Tukisema yalitoka mbinguni, yeye atatuuliza: Mbona hamkumsadiki?
6But if we say, Of men, the whole people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
6Na tukisema yalitoka kwa binadamu, watu wote hapa watatupiga mawe, maana wote wanaamini kwamba Yohane alikuwa nabii.”
7And they answered, that they knew not whence it was.
7Basi, wakamwambia, “Hatujui mamlaka hayo yalitoka wapi.”
8And Jesus said to them: Neither do I tell thee by what authority I do these things.
8Yesu akawaambia, “Hata mimi sitawaambia ninafanya mambo haya kwa mamlaka gani.”
9And he began to speak to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen: and he was abroad for a long time.
9Yesu akaendelea kuwaambia watu mfano huu: “Mtu mmoja alilima shamba la mizabibu, akalikodisha kwa wakulima; kisha akasafiri hadi nchi ya mbali, akakaa huko kwa muda mrefu.
10And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. Who, beating him, sent him away empty.
10Wakati wa mavuno, mtu huyo alimtuma mtumishi wake kwa wale wakulima, akachukue sehemu ya matunda ya shamba la mizabibu. Lakini wale wakulima wakampiga mtumishi huyo wakamrudisha mikono mitupu.
11And again he sent another servant. But they beat him also, and treating him reproachfully, sent him away empty.
11Yule bwana akamtuma tena mtumishi mwingine; lakini wao wakampiga huyo vilevile na kumtendea vibaya, wakamrudisha mikono mitupu.
12And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
12Akamtuma tena wa tatu; huyu naye, baada ya kumwumiza, wakamfukuza.
13Then the lord of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be, when they see him, they will reverence him.
13Yule mwenye shamba akafikiri: Nitafanya nini? Nitamtuma mwanangu mpenzi; labda watamjali yeye.
14Whom when the husbandmen saw, they thought within themselves, saying: This is the heir, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
14Wale wakulima walipomwona tu, wakasemezana: Huyu ndiye mrithi. Basi, tumwue ili urithi wake uwe wetu.
15So casting him out of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
15Basi, wakamtoa nje ya lile shamba la mizabibu, wakamwua.” Yesu akauliza, “Yule mwenye shamba atawafanya nini hao wakulima?
16He will come, and will destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. Which they hearing, said to him: God forbid.
16Atakuja kuwaangamiza wakulima hao, na atawapa wakulima wengine hilo shamba la mizabibu.” Watu waliposikia maneno hayo, walisema: “Hasha! Yasitukie hata kidogo!”
17But he looking on them, said: What is this then that is written, The stone, which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
17Lakini Yesu akawatazama, akawaambia, “Maandiko haya Matakatifu yana maana gani basi? Jiwe walilokataa waashi, sasa limekuwa jiwe kuu la msingi!
18Whosoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be bruised: and upon whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
18Mtu yeyote akianguka juu ya jiwe hilo, atavunjika vipandevipande; na likimwangukia mtu yeyote, litamsaga kabisa.”
19And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him the same hour: but they feared the people, for they knew that he spoke this parable to them.
19Walimu wa Sheria na makuhani wakuu walifahamu kwamba mfano huo ulikuwa unawahusu, na hivyo walitaka kumkamata palepale, ila tu waliogopa watu.
20And being upon the watch, they sent spies, who should feign themselves just, that they might take hold of him in his words, that they might deliver him up to the authority and power of the governor.
20Basi, wakawa wanatafuta wakati wa kufaa. Wakawahonga watu fulani wajisingizie kuwa wema, wakawatuma wamnase Yesu kwa maswali, na hivyo waweze kumtia nguvuni na kumpeleka kwa wakuu wa serikali.
21And they asked him, saying: Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly: and thou dost not respect any person, but teachest the way of God in truth.
21Hao wapelelezi wakamwambia, “Mwalimu, tunajua kwamba unasema na kufundisha mambo ya kweli; tunajua kwamba wewe huna ubaguzi; wewe wafundisha ukweli juu ya njia ya Mungu.
22Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or no?
22Basi, twambie kama ni halali, au la, kulipa kodi kwa Kaisari!”
23But he considering their guile, said to them: Why tempt you me?
23Yesu alitambua mtego wao, akawaambia,
24Shew me a penny. Whose image and inscription hath it? They answering, said to him, Caesar’s.
24“Nionyesheni sarafu. Je, sura na chapa ni vya nani?”
25And he said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s: and to God the things that are God’s.
25Nao wakamjibu, “Ni vya Kaisari.” Yesu akawaambia, “Basi, mpeni Kaisari vilivyo vyake Kaisari, na Mungu vilivyo vyake Mungu.”
26And they could not reprehend his word before the people: and wondering at his answer, they held their peace.
26Hawakufaulu kumnasa kwa neno lolote pale mbele ya watu na hivyo wakakaa kimya wakilistaajabia jibu lake.
27And there came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, and they asked him,
27Kisha Masadukayo, ambao husema kwamba wafu hawafufuki, wakamjia Yesu, wakasema:
28Saying: Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take her to wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
28“Mwalimu, Mose alituandikia kwamba kama ndugu ya mtu fulani akifa na kumwacha mjane wake bila watoto, ni lazima ndugu yake amchukue huyo mama mjane, amzalie watoto ndugu yake marehemu.
29There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
29Sasa, wakati mmoja kulikuwa na ndugu saba. Yule wa kwanza alioa na baadaye akafa bila kuacha mtoto.
30And the next took her to wife, and he also died childless.
30Yule ndugu wa pili akamwoa yule mjane, naye pia, akafa;
31And the third took her. And in like manner all the seven, and they left no children, and died.
31na ndugu wa tatu vilevile. Mambo yakawa yaleyale kwa wote saba—wote walikufa bila kuacha watoto.
32Last of all the woman died also.
32Mwishowe akafa pia yule mwanamke.
33In the resurrection therefore, whose wife of them shall she be? For all the seven had her to wife.
33Je, siku wafu watakapofufuliwa, mwanamke huyo atakuwa mke wa nani? Alikuwa ameolewa na wote saba.”
34And Jesus said to them: The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
34Yesu akawaambia, “Watu wa nyakati hizi huoa na kuolewa;
35But they that shall be accounted worthy of that world, and of the resurrection from the dead, shall neither be married, nor take wives.
35lakini wale ambao Mungu atawawezesha kushiriki ule wakati wa ufufuo, hawataoa wala kuolewa.
36Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels, and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
36Ama hakika, hawawezi kufa tena, kwa sababu watakuwa kama malaika, na ni watoto wa Mungu kwa vile wamefufuliwa katika wafu.
37Now that the dead rise again, Moses also shewed, at the bush, when he called the Lord, The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
37Lakini, kwamba kuna kufufuka kutoka wafu, hata Mose alithibitisha jambo hilo katika Maandiko Matakatifu. Katika sehemu ya Maandiko Matakatifu juu ya kile kichaka kilichokuwa kinawaka moto, anamtaja Bwana kama Mungu wa Abrahamu, Isaka na Yakobo.
38For he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
38Basi, yeye si Mungu wa wafu, bali ni Mungu wa wale walio hai; maana wale aliowaita kwake, wanaishi naye.”
39And some of the scribes answering, said to him: Master, thou hast said well.
39Baadhi ya wale walimu wa Sheria wakasema, “Mwalimu, umejibu vema kabisa.”
40And after that they durst not ask him any more questions.
40Walisema hivyo kwa sababu hawakuthubutu kumwuliza tena maswali mengine.
41But he said to them: How say they that Christ is the son of David?
41Yesu akawauliza, “Yasemekanaje kwamba Kristo ni mwana wa Daudi?
42And David himself saith in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,
42Maana Daudi mwenyewe anasema katika Zaburi: Bwana alimwambia Bwana wangu: Keti upande wangu wa kulia
43Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
43mpaka niwafanye adui zako kama kiti cha kuwekea miguu yako.
44David then calleth him Lord: and how is he his son?
44Ikiwa Daudi anamwita yeye, Bwana, basi atakuwaje mwanawe?”
45And in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples:
45Yesu aliwaambia wanafunzi wake mbele ya watu wote,
46Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplace, and the first chairs in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts:
46“Jihadharini na walimu wa Sheria ambao hupenda kupitapita wamevalia kanzu. Hupenda kusalimiwa na watu kwa heshima masokoni, huketi mahali pa heshima katika masunagogi na kuchukua nafasi za heshima katika karamu.
47Who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayer. These shall receive greater damnation.
47Huwadhulumu wajane huku wakisingizia kuwa wema kwa kusali sala ndefu. Hao watapata hukumu kali zaidi!”
