Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1And having called his twelve disciples together, he gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of diseases, and all manner of infirmities.
1Yesu aliwaita wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili, akawapa uwezo wa kutoa pepo wachafu na kuponya magonjwa na maradhi yote.
2And the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother,
2Majina ya hao mitume kumi na wawili ni haya: wa kwanza ni Simoni aitwae Petro, na Andrea ndugu yake; Yakobo mwana wa Zebedayo, na Yohane ndugu yake;
3James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the publican, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus,
3Filipo na Bartholomayo, Thoma na Mathayo aliyekuwa mtoza ushuru; Yakobo mwana wa Alfayo, na Thadayo;
4Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
4Simoni Mkanaani, na Yuda Iskarioti ambaye alimsaliti Yesu.
5These twelve Jesus sent: commanding them, saying: Go ye not into the way of the Gentiles, and into the city of the Samaritans enter ye not.
5Yesu aliwatuma hao kumi na wawili na kuwapa maagizo haya: “Msiende kwa watu wa mataifa mengine, wala msiingie katika mji wa Wasamaria.
6But go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
6Ila nendeni kwa watu wa Israeli waliopotea kama kondoo.
7And going, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
7Mnapokwenda hubirini hivi: Ufalme wa mbinguni umekaribia.
8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils: freely have you received, freely give.
8Ponyeni wagonjwa, fufueni wafu, takaseni wenye ukoma, toeni pepo. Mmepewa bure, toeni bure.
9Do not possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your purses:
9Msichukue mifukoni mwenu dhahabu, wala fedha, wala sarafu za shaba.
10Nor scrip for your journey, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff; for the workman is worthy of his meat.
10Msichukue mkoba wa kuombea njiani, wala koti la ziada, wala viatu, wala fimbo. Maana mfanyakazi anastahili riziki yake.
11And into whatsoever city or town you shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till you go thence.
11“Mkiingia katika mji wowote au kijiji, tafuteni humo mtu yeyote aliye tayari kuwakaribisheni, na kaeni naye mpaka mtakapoondoka mahali hapo.
12And when you come into the house, salute it, saying: Peace be to this house.
12Mnapoingia nyumbani wasalimuni wenyeji wake.
13And if that house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you.
13Kama wenyeji wa nyumba hiyo wakiipokea salamu hiyo, basi, amani yenu itakaa pamoja nao. Lakini ikiwa hawaipokei, basi amani yenu itawarudia ninyi.
14And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words: going forth out of that house or city shake off the dust from your feet.
14Kama mtu yeyote atakataa kuwakaribisheni au kuwasikilizeni, basi mtokapo katika nyumba hiyo au mji huo, yakung'uteni mavumbi miguuni mwenu kama onyo kwao.
15Amen I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
15Kweli nawaambieni, Siku ya hukumu mji huo utapata adhabu kubwa kuliko ile iliyoipata miji ya Sodoma na Gomora.
16Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves.
16“Sasa, mimi nawatuma ninyi kama kondoo kati ya mbwa mwitu. Muwe na busara kama nyoka, na wapole kama njiwa.
17But beware of men. For they will deliver you up in councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues.
17Jihadharini na watu, maana watawapeleka ninyi mahakamani na kuwapiga viboko katika masunagogi yao.
18And you shall be brought before governors, and before kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles:
18Mtapelekwa mbele ya watawala na wafalme kwa sababu yangu, mpate kutangaza Habari Njema kwao na kwa mataifa.
19But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought how or what to speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what to speak.
19Basi, watakapowapeleka ninyi mahakamani, msiwe na wasiwasi mtasema nini au namna gani; wakati utakapofika, mtapewa la kusema.
20For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you.
20Maana si ninyi mtakaosema, bali ni Roho wa Baba yenu asemaye ndani yenu.
21The brother also shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the son: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and shall put them to death.
21“Ndugu atamsaliti ndugu yake auawe, na baba atamsaliti mwanawe, nao watoto watawashambulia wazazi wao na kuwaua.
22And you shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be saved.
22Watu wote watawachukieni kwa sababu ya jina langu. Lakini atakayevumilia mpaka mwisho, ataokolewa.
23And when they shall persecute you in this city, flee into another. Amen I say to you, you shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the Son of man come.
23“Watu wakiwadhulumu katika mji mmoja, kimbilieni mji mwingine. Kweli nawaambieni, hamtamaliza ziara yenu katika miji yote ya Israeli kabla Mwana wa Mtu hajafika.
24The disciple is not above the master, nor the servant above his lord.
24“Mwanafunzi si mkuu kuliko mwalimu wake, wala mtumishi si mkuu kuliko bwana wake.
25It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the goodman of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household?
25Yatosha mwanafunzi kuwa kama mwalimu wake, na mtumishi kuwa kama bwana wake. Ikiwa wamemwita mkubwa wa jamaa Beelzebuli, je hawatawaita watu wengine wa jamaa hiyo majina mabaya zaidi?
26Therefore fear them not. For nothing is covered that shall not be revealed: nor hid, that shall not be known.
26“Basi, msiwaogope watu hao. Kila kilichofunikwa kitafunuliwa, na kila kilichofichwa kitafichuliwa.
27That which I tell you in the dark, speak ye in the light: and that which you hear in the ear, preach ye upon the housetops.
27Ninalowaambieni ninyi katika giza, lisemeni katika mwanga; na jambo mlilosikia likinong'onezwa, litangazeni hadharani.
28And fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell.
28Msiwaogope wale wauao mwili, lakini hawawezi kuiua roho. Afadhali zaidi kumwogopa yule awezaye kuuangamiza mwili pamoja na roho katika moto wa Jehanamu.
29Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father.
29Shomoro wawili huuzwa kwa senti tano. Lakini hata mmoja wao haanguki chini bila kibali cha Baba yenu.
30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
30Lakini kwa upande wenu, hata nywele za vichwa vyenu zimehesabiwa zote.
31Fear not therefore: better are you than many sparrows.
31Kwa hiyo msiogope; ninyi mu wa thamani kuliko shomoro wengi.
32Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.
32“Kila mtu anayekiri hadharani kwamba yeye ni wangu, mimi pia nitamkiri mbele ya Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.
33But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
33Lakini yeyote atakayenikana hadharani, nami nitamkana mbele ya Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.
34Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword.
34“Msidhani kwamba nimekuja kuleta amani duniani. Sikuja kuleta amani bali upanga.
35For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
35Maana nimekuja kuleta mafarakano kati ya mtu na baba yake, kati ya binti na mama yake, kati ya mkwe na mkwe wake.
36And as a man’s enemies shall be they of his own household.
36Na maadui wa mtu ni watu wa nyumbani mwake.
37He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.
37“Ampendaye baba au mama yake kuliko anipendavyo mimi, hanistahili. Ampendaye mwana au binti kuliko mimi, hanistahili.
38And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me.
38Mtu asiyechukua msalaba wake na kunifuata, hanistahili.
39He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it.
39Anayeyashikilia maisha yake, atayapoteza; lakini anayeyapoteza maisha yake kwa ajili yangu, atayapata.
40He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.
40“Anayewakaribisha ninyi, ananikaribisha mimi; na anayenikaribisha mimi, anamkaribisha yule aliyenituma.
41He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet: and he that receiveth a just man in the name of a just man, shall receive the reward of a just man.
41Anayemkaribisha nabii kwa sababu ni nabii, atapokea tuzo la nabii. Anayemkaribisha mtu mwema kwa sababu ni mtu mwema, atapokea tuzo la mtu mwema.
42And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
42Kweli nawaambieni, yeyote atakayempa mmojawapo wa wadogo hawa kikombe cha maji baridi kwa sababu ni mfuasi wangu, hatakosa kamwe kupata tuzo lake.”
