Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1Then calling together the twelve apostles, he gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
1Yesu aliwaita wale kumi na wawili, akawapa uwezo juu ya pepo wote, na uwezo wa kuponya wagonjwa.
2And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
2Halafu akawatuma waende kuhubiri Ufalme wa Mungu na kuponya wagonjwa.
3And he said to them: Take nothing for your journey; neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats.
3Akawaambia, “Mnaposafiri msichukue chochote: msichukue fimbo, wala mkoba, wala chakula, wala fedha, wala hata koti la ziada.
4And whatsoever house you shall enter into, abide there, and depart not from thence.
4Nyumba yoyote mtakayoingia na kukaribishwa, kaeni humo mpaka mtakapoondoka katika kijiji hicho.
5And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off even the dust of your feet, for a testimony against them.
5Watu wakikataa kuwakaribisha, tokeni katika mji huo, nanyi mnapotoka kung'uteni mavumbi miguuni mwenu kama onyo kwao.”
6And going out, they went about through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
6Basi, wakaanza safari, wakapitia vijijini wakihubiri Habari Njema na kuponya wagonjwa kila mahali.
7Now Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all things that were done by him; and he was in a doubt, because it was said
7Sasa, mtawala Herode, alipata habari za mambo yote yaliyokuwa yanatendeka, akawa na wasiwasi kwa vile walikuwa wakisema: “Yohane amefufuka kutoka wafu!”
8By some, that John was risen from the dead: but by other some, that Elias had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
8Wengine walisema kwamba Eliya ametokea, na wengine walisema kwamba mmojawapo wa manabii wa kale amerudi duniani.
9And Herod said: John I have beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.
9Lakini Herode akasema, “Huyo Yohane nilimkata kichwa; sasa ni nani huyu ninayesikia habari zake?” Akawa na hamu ya kumwona.
10And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all they had done. And taking them, he went aside into a desert place, apart, which belongeth to Bethsaida.
10Wale mitume waliporudi, walimweleza yote waliyoyafanya. Yesu akawachukua, wakaenda peke yao mjini Bethsaida.
11Which when the people knew, they followed him; and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed them who had need of healing.
11Lakini wale watu walipojua alikokwenda, walimfuata. Yesu akawakaribisha akawazungumzia juu ya Ufalme wa Mungu, akawaponya wale waliohitaji kuponywa.
12Now the day began to decline. And the twelve came and said to him: Send away the multitude, that going into the towns and villages round about, they may lodge and get victuals; for we are here in a desert place.
12Jua lilipokuwa linaanza kutua, wale kumi na wawili walimwendea wakamwambia, “Waage watu waende kwenye vijiji na mashamba ya karibu, wakajipatie chakula na mahali pa kulala, kwa maana hapa tulipo ni nyikani.”
13But he said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless perhaps we should go and buy food for all this multitude.
13Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Wapeni ninyi chakula.” Wakamjibu, “Hatuna chochote ila mikate mitano na samaki wawili. Labda twende wenyewe tukawanunulie chakula watu wote hawa!”
14Now there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
14(Walikuwepo pale wanaume wapatao elfu tano.) Basi, Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Waambieni watu waketi katika makundi ya watu hamsinihamsini.”
15And they did so; and made them all sit down.
15Wanafunzi wakafanya walivyoambiwa, wakawaketisha wote.
16And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed them; and he broke, and distributed to his disciples, to set before the multitude.
16Kisha Yesu akaitwaa ile mikate mitano na wale samaki wawili, akatazama juu mbinguni, akamshukuru Mungu, akavimega, akawapa wanafunzi wake wawagawie watu.
17And they did all eat, and were filled. And there were taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets.
17Wakala wote, wakashiba; wakakusanya makombo ya chakula, wakajaza vikapu kumi na viwili.
18And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples also were with him: and he asked them, saying: Whom do the people say that I am?
18Siku moja, Yesu alikuwa anasali peke yake, na wanafunzi wake walikuwa karibu. Basi, akawauliza, “Eti watu wanasema mimi ni nani?”
19But they answered, and said: John the Baptist; but some say Elias; and others say that one of the former prophets is risen again.
19Nao wakamjibu, “Wengine wanasema kuwa wewe ni Yohane mbatizaji, wengine wanasema wewe ni Eliya, hali wengine wanasema kuwa wewe ni mmoja wa manabii wa kale ambaye amefufuka.”
20And he said to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answering, said: The Christ of God.
20Hapo akawauliza, “Na ninyi je, mwasema mimi ni nani?” Petro akajibu, “Wewe ndiwe Kristo wa Mungu.”
21But he strictly charging them, commanded they should tell this to no man.
21Halafu Yesu akawaamuru wasimwambie mtu yeyote habari hiyo.
22Saying: The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the ancients and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day rise again.
22Akaendelea kusema: “Ni lazima Mwana wa Mtu apate mateso mengi na kukataliwa na wazee na makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria; atauawa, lakini siku ya tatu atafufuliwa.”
23And he said to all: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
23Kisha akawaambia watu wote, “Mtu yeyote akitaka kuwa mfuasi wangu, ni lazima ajikane nafsi yake, auchukue msalaba wake kila siku, anifuate.
24For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it; for he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall save it.
24Maana, mtu anayetaka kuyaokoa maisha yake mwenyewe, atayapoteza; lakini atakayeyapoteza maisha yake kwa ajili yangu, atayaokoa.
25For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, and cast away himself?
25Je, kuna faida gani mtu kuupata utajiri wote wa dunia kwa kujipoteza au kujiangamiza yeye mwenyewe?
26For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of man shall be ashamed, when he shall come in his majesty, and that of his Father, and of the holy angels.
26Mtu akinionea aibu mimi na mafundisho yangu, Mwana wa Mtu atamwonea aibu mtu huyo wakati atakapokuja katika utukufu wake na wa Baba na wa malaika watakatifu.
27But I tell you of a truth: There are some standing here that shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God.
27Nawaambieni kweli, kuna wengine papa hapa ambao hawatakufa kabla ya kuuona Ufalme wa Mungu.”
28And it came to pass about eight days after these words, that he took Peter, and James, and John, and went up into a mountain to pray.
28Yapata siku nane baada ya kusema hayo, Yesu aliwachukua Petro, Yohane na Yakobo, akaenda nao mlimani kusali.
29And whilst he prayed, the shape of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white and glittering.
29Alipokuwa akisali, sura yake ilibadilika, mavazi yake yakawa meupe na kung'aa sana.
30And behold two men were talking with him. And they were Moses and Elias,
30Na watu wawili wakaonekana wakizungumza naye, nao ni Mose na Eliya,
31Appearing in majesty. And they spoke of his decease that he should accomplish in Jerusalem.
31ambao walitokea wakiwa wenye utukufu, wakazungumza naye juu ya kifo chake ambacho angekikamilisha huko Yerusalemu.
32But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep. And waking, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
32Petro na wenzake walikuwa wamelemewa na usingizi mzito, hata hivyo waliamka, wakauona utukufu wake, wakawaona na wale watu wawili waliokuwa wamesimama pamoja naye.
33And it came to pass, that as they were departing from him, Peter saith to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias; not knowing what he said.
33Basi, watu hao wawili walipokuwa wakiondoka, Petro alimwambia Yesu, “Bwana, ni vizuri kwamba tupo hapa: basi, tujenge vibanda vitatu: kimoja chako, kimoja cha Mose na kimoja cha Eliya.” —Kwa kweli hakujua anasema nini.
34And as he spoke these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them; and they were afraid, when they entered into the cloud.
34Petro alipokuwa akisema hayo, mara wingu likatokea na kuwafunika; na wingu hilo lilipowajia, wale wanafunzi waliogopa sana.
35And a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son; hear him.
35Sauti ikasikika kutoka katika hilo wingu: “Huyu ndiye Mwanangu niliyemchagua, msikilizeni.”
36And whilst the voice was uttered, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of these things which they had seen.
36Baada ya hiyo sauti kusikika, Yesu alionekana akiwa peke yake. Wanafunzi walikaa kimya juu ya tukio hilo, na wakati ule hawakumwambia mtu yeyote mambo hayo waliyoyaona.
37And it came to pass the day following, when they came down from the mountain, there met him a great multitude.
37Kesho yake walipokuwa wakishuka kutoka kule mlimani, kundi kubwa la watu lilikutana na Yesu.
38And behold a man among the crowd cried out, saying: Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only one.
38Hapo, mtu mmoja katika lile kundi akapaaza sauti, akasema, “Mwalimu! Ninakusihi umwangalie mwanangu—mwanangu wa pekee!
39And lo, a spirit seizeth him, and he suddenly crieth out, and he throweth him down and teareth him, so that he foameth; and bruising him, he hardly departeth from him.
39Pepo huwa anamshambulia, na mara humfanya apige kelele; humtia kifafa, na povu likamtoka kinywani. Huendelea kumtesa sana, asimwache upesi.
40And I desired thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.
40Niliwaomba wanafunzi wako wamfukuze, lakini hawakuweza.”
41And Jesus answering, said: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring hither thy son.
41Yesu akasema, “Enyi kizazi kisicho na imani, kilichopotoka! Nitakaa nanyi na kuwavumilia mpaka lini?” Kisha akamwambia huyo mtu, “Mlete mtoto wako hapa.”
42And as he was coming to him, the devil threw him down, and tore him.
42Wakati mtoto huyo alipokuwa anamjia Yesu, yule pepo alimwangusha chini na kumtia kifafa. Lakini Yesu akamkemea yule pepo mchafu akamponya mtoto na kumkabidhi kwa baba yake.
43And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and cured the boy, and restored him to his father.
43Watu wote wakashangazwa na uwezo mkuu wa Mungu. Wale watu walipokuwa bado wanashangaa juu ya mambo yote aliyofanya, Yesu aliwaambia wanafunzi wake,
44And all were astonished at the mighty power of God. But while all wondered at all the things he did, he said to his disciples: Lay you up in your hearts these words, for it shall come to pass, that the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
44“Tegeni masikio, myasikie mambo haya: Mwana wa Mtu anakwenda kutiwa mikononi mwa watu.”
45But they understood not this word; and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not. And they were afraid to ask him concerning this word.
45Lakini wao hawakuelewa maana ya usemi huo. Jambo hilo lilikuwa limefichwa kwao ili wasitambue; nao wakaogopa kumwuliza juu ya msemo huo.
46And there entered a thought into them, which of them should be greater.
46Kukatokea majadiliano kati ya wale wanafunzi kuhusu nani kati yao aliyekuwa mkuu zaidi.
47But Jesus seeing the thoughts of their heart, took a child and set him by him,
47Yesu aliyajua mawazo yaliyokuwa mioyoni mwao; basi akamchukua mtoto mdogo akamweka karibu naye,
48And said to them: Whosoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me. For he that is the lesser among you all, he is the greater.
48akawaambia, “Mtu yeyote anayempokea mtoto huyu mdogo kwa jina langu, ananipokea mimi; na yeyote anayenipokea mimi, anampokea yule aliyenituma. Maana yule aliye mdogo kuliko wote kati yenu ndiye aliye mkubwa kuliko wote.”
49And John, answering, said: Master, we saw a certain man casting out devils in thy name, and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.
49Yohane alidakia na kusema, “Bwana, tumemwona mtu mmoja akitoa pepo kwa kulitumia jina lako nasi tukajaribu kumkataza kwa kuwa yeye si mmoja wetu.”
50And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not; for he that is not against you, is for you.
50Lakini Yesu akamwambia, “Msimkataze; kwani asiyepingana nanyi yuko upande wenu.”
51And it came to pass, when the days of his assumption were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.
51Wakati ulipokaribia ambapo Yesu angechukuliwa juu mbinguni, yeye alikata shauri kwenda Yerusalemu.
52And he sent messengers before his face; and going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.
52Basi, akawatuma wajumbe wamtangulie, nao wakaenda wakaingia kijiji kimoja cha Wasamaria ili wamtayarishie mahali.
53And they received him not, because his face was of one going to Jerusalem.
53Lakini wenyeji wa hapo hawakutaka kumpokea kwa sababu alikuwa anaelekea Yerusalemu.
54And when his disciples James and John had seen this, they said: Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?
54Basi, wanafunzi wake, kina Yohane na Yakobo, walipoona hayo, wakasema, “Bwana, wataka tuamuru moto ushuke kutoka mbinguni uwateketeze?”
55And turning, he rebuked them, saying: You know not of what spirit you are.
55Lakini yeye akawageukia, akawakemea akasema, “Hamjui ni roho ya namna gani mliyo nayo;
56The Son of man came not to destroy souls, but to save. And they went into another town.
56kwa maana Mwana wa Mtu hakuja kuyaangamiza maisha ya watu, bali kuyaokoa.” Wakatoka, wakaenda kijiji kingine.
57And it came to pass, as they walked in the way, that a certain man said to him: I will follow thee withersoever thou goest.
57Walipokuwa wakisafiri njiani, mtu mmoja akamwambia Yesu, “Nitakufuata kokote utakakokwenda.”
58Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
58Yesu akasema, “Mbweha wana mapango, na ndege wana viota; lakini Mwana wa Mtu hana mahali pa kupumzikia.”
59But he said to another: Follow me. And he said: Lord, suffer me first to go, and to bury my father.
59Kisha akamwambia mtu mwingine, “Nifuate.” Lakini huyo akasema, “Bwana, niruhusu kwanza niende kumzika baba yangu.”
60And Jesus said to him: Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou, and preach the kingdom of God.
60Yesu akamwambia, “Waache wafu wazike wafu wao; bali wewe nenda ukatangaze Ufalme wa Mungu.”
61And another said: I will follow thee, Lord; but let me first take my leave of them that are at my house.
61Na mtu mwingine akamwambia, “Nitakufuata, lakini niruhusu kwanza nikawaage wale walio nyumbani kwangu.”
62Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
62Yesu akamwambia, “Yeyote anayeshika jembe tayari kulima na huku anaangalia nyuma, hafai kwa Ufalme wa Mungu.”
