Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1And looking on, he saw the rich men cast their gifts into the treasury.
1Yesu alitazama kwa makini, akawaona matajiri walivyokuwa wanatia sadaka zao katika hazina ya Hekalu,
2And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in two brass mites.
2akamwona pia mama mmoja mjane akitumbukiza humo sarafu mbili ndogo.
3And he said: Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
3Basi, akasema, “Nawaambieni kweli, mama huyu mjane ametia zaidi katika hazina kuliko wote.
4For all these have of their abundance cast into the offerings of God: but she of her want, hath cast in all the living that she had.
4Kwa maana, wengine wote wametoa sadaka zao kutokana na ziada ya mali zao, lakini huyu mama, ingawa ni maskini, ametoa kila kitu alichohitaji kwa kuishi.”
5And some saying of the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said:
5Baadhi ya wanafunzi walikuwa wanazungumza juu ya Hekalu, jinsi lilivyopambwa kwa mawe ya thamani, pamoja na sadaka zilizotolewa kwa Mungu. Yesu akasema,
6These things which you see, the days will come in which there shall not be left a stone upon a stone that shall not be thrown down.
6“Haya yote mnayoyaona—zitakuja siku ambapo hakuna hata jiwe moja litakalosalia juu ya lingine; kila kitu kitaharibiwa.”
7And they asked him, saying: Master, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when they shall begin to come to pass?
7Basi, wakamwuliza, “Mwalimu, mambo hayo yatatokea lini? Na ni ishara gani zitakazoonyesha kwamba karibu mambo hayo yatokee?”
8Who said: Take heed you be not seduced; for many will come in my name, saying, I am he; and the time is at hand: go ye not therefore after them.
8Yesu akawajibu, “Jihadharini, msije mkadanganyika. Maana wengi watatokea na kulitumia jina langu wakisema: Mimi ndiye, na, Wakati ule umekaribia. Lakini ninyi msiwafuate!
9And when you shall hear of wars and seditions, be not terrified: these things must first come to pass; but the end is not yet presently.
9Basi, mtakaposikia habari za vita na misukosuko, msitishike; maana ni lazima hayo yatokee kwanza, lakini mwisho wa yote, bado.”
10Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
10Halafu akaendelea kusema: “Taifa moja litapigana na taifa lingine, na ufalme mmoja utapigana na ufalme mwingine.
11And there shall be great earthquakes in divers places, and pestilences, and famines, and terrors from heaven; and there shall be great signs.
11Kila mahali kutakuwa na mitetemeko mikubwa ya ardhi, kutakuwa na njaa na tauni. Kutakuwa na vituko vya kutisha na ishara kubwa angani.
12But before all these things, they will lay their hands upon you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and into prisons, dragging you before kings and governors, for my name’s sake.
12Lakini kabla ya kutokea hayo yote, watawatieni nguvuni, watawatesa na kuwapelekeni katika masunagogi na kuwatia gerezani; mtapelekwa mbele ya wafalme na watawala kwa ajili ya jina langu.
13And it shall happen unto you for a testimony.
13Hii itawapeni fursa ya kushuhudia Habari Njema.
14Lay it up therefore into your hearts, not to meditate before how you shall answer:
14Muwe na msimamo huu mioyoni mwenu: hakuna kufikiria kabla ya wakati juu ya jinsi mtakavyojitetea,
15For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to resist and gainsay.
15kwa sababu mimi mwenyewe nitawapeni ufasaha wa maneno na hekima, hivyo kwamba zenu hawataweza kustahimili wala kupinga.
16And you shall be betrayed by your parents and brethren, and kinsmen and friends; and some of you they will put to death.
16Wazazi wenu, ndugu, jamaa na rafiki zenu watawasaliti ninyi; na baadhi yenu mtauawa.
17And you shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
17Watu wote watawachukieni kwa sababu ya jina langu.
18But a hair of your head shall not perish.
18Lakini, hata unywele mmoja wa vichwa vyenu hautapotea.
19In your patience you shall possess your souls.
19Kwa uvumilivu wenu, mtayaokoa maisha yenu.
20And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed about with an army; then know that the desolation thereof is at hand.
20“Mtakapoona mji wa Yerusalemu umezungukwa na majeshi, ndipo mtambue ya kwamba wakati umefika ambapo mji huo utaharibiwa.
21Then let those who are in Judea, flee to the mountains; and those who are in the midst thereof, depart out: and those who are in the countries, not enter into it.
21Hapo walioko Yudea wakimbilie milimani; wale walio mjini watoke; na wale walio mashambani wasirudi mjini.
22For these are the days of vengeance, that all things may be fulfilled, that are written.
22Kwa maana siku hizo ni siku za adhabu, ili yote yaliyoandikwa yatimie.
23But woe to them that are with child, and give suck in those days; for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
23Ole wao waja wazito na wanyonyeshao siku hizo! Kwa maana kutakuwa na dhiki kubwa katika nchi, na hasira ya Mungu itawajia watu hawa.
24And they shall fall by the edge of the sword; and shall be led away captives into all nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles; till the times of the nations be fulfilled.
24Wengine watauawa kwa upanga, wengine watachukuliwa mateka katika nchi zote; na mji wa Yerusalemu utakanyagwa na watu wa mataifa mengine, hadi nyakati zao zitakapotimia.
25And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea and of the waves;
25“Kutakuwa na ishara katika jua na mwezi na nyota. Mataifa duniani yatakuwa na dhiki kwa sababu ya wasiwasi kutokana na mshindo wa mawimbi ya bahari.
26Men withering away for fear, and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved;
26Watu watazirai kwa sababu ya uoga, wakitazamia mambo yatakayoupata ulimwengu; kwa maana nguvu za mbingu zitatikiswa.
27And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with great power and majesty.
27Halafu, watamwona Mwana wa Mtu akija katika wingu, mwenye nguvu na utukufu mwingi.
28But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.
28Wakati mambo hayo yatakapoanza kutukia, simameni na kuinua vichwa vyenu juu, kwa maana ukombozi wenu umekaribia.”
29And he spoke to them in a similitude. See the fig tree, and all the trees:
29Kisha akawaambia mfano: “Angalieni mtini na miti mingine yote.
30When they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that summer is nigh;
30Mnapoona kwamba imeanza kuchipua majani, mwatambua kwamba wakati wa kiangazi umekaribia.
31So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand.
31Vivyo hivyo, mtakapoona mambo hayo yanatendeka, mtatambua kwamba Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia.
32Amen, I say to you, this generation shall not pass away, till all things be fulfilled.
32Nawaambieni hakika, kizazi hiki cha sasa hakitapita kabla ya hayo yote kutendeka.
33Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
33Mbingu na dunia vitapita, lakini maneno yangu hayatapita.
34And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and the cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly.
34“Muwe macho, mioyo yenu isije ikalemewa na anasa, ulevi na shughuli za maisha haya. La sivyo, Siku ile itawajieni ghafla.
35For as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth.
35Kwa maana itawajia kama mtego, wote wanaoishi duniani pote.
36Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come, and to stand before the Son of man.
36Muwe waangalifu basi, na salini daima ili muweze kupata nguvu ya kupita salama katika mambo haya yote yatakayotokea, na kusimama mbele ya Mwana wa Mtu.”
37And in the daytime, he was teaching in the temple; but at night, going out, he abode in the mount that is called Olivet.
37Wakati wa mchana, siku hizo, Yesu alikuwa akifundisha watu Hekaluni; lakini usiku alikuwa akienda katika mlima wa Mizeituni na kukaa huko.
38And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.
38Watu wote walikuwa wanakwenda Hekaluni asubuhi na mapema, wapate kumsikiliza.
