Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1At that time Jesus went through the corn on the sabbath: and his disciples being hungry, began to pluck the ears, and to eat.
1Wakati huo, Yesu alikuwa anapita katika mashamba ya ngano siku ya Sabato. Basi, wanafunzi wake wakaona njaa, wakaanza kukwanyua masuke ya ngano, wakala punje zake.
2And the Pharisees seeing them, said to him: Behold thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days.
2Mafarisayo walipoona hayo, wakamwambia Yesu, “Tazama, wanafunzi wako wanafanya jambo ambalo si halali siku ya Sabato.”
3But he said to them: Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him:
3Yesu akawajibu, “Je, hamjasoma alivyofanya Daudi pamoja na wenzake wakati walipokuwa na njaa?
4How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for them that were with him, but for the priests only?
4Yeye aliingia katika Nyumba ya Mungu pamoja na wenzake, wakala ile mikate iliyowekwa mbele ya Mungu. Yeye wala hao wenzake hawakuruhusiwa kula mikate hiyo isipokuwa tu makuhani peke yao.
5Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple break the sabbath, and are without blame?
5Au je, hamjasoma katika Sheria kwamba kila siku ya Sabato makuhani huivunja Sheria Hekaluni, lakini hawafikiriwi kuwa na hatia?
6But I tell you that there is here a greater than the temple.
6Basi, nawaambieni kwamba hapa pana kikuu kuliko Hekalu.
7And if you knew what this meaneth: I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: you would never have condemned the innocent.
7Kama tu mngejua maana ya maneno haya: Nataka huruma wala si dhabihu, hamngewahukumu watu wasio na hatia.
8For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.
8Maana Mwana wa Mtu ni Bwana wa Sabato.”
9And when he has passed from thence, he came into their synagogues.
9Yesu alitoka hapo, akaenda katika sunagogi lao.
10And behold there was a man who had a withered hand, and they asked him, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
10Kulikuwa na mtu mmoja mwenye mkono uliopooza. Basi, watu wakamwuliza Yesu, “Je, ni halali kumponya mtu siku ya Sabato?” Walimwuliza hivyo wapate kisa cha kumshtaki.
11But he said to them: What man shall there be among you, that hath one sheep: and if the same fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not take hold on it and lift it up?
11Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Tuseme mmoja wenu ana kondoo wake ambaye ametumbukia shimoni; je, hatamshika na kumtoa humo siku ya Sabato?
12How much better is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do a good deed on the sabbath days.
12Mtu ana thamani kuliko kondoo! Basi, ni halali kutenda mema siku ya Sabato.”
13Then he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand; and he stretched it forth, and it was restored to health even as the other.
13Kisha akamwambia yule mtu, “Nyosha mkono wako.” Akaunyosha, nao ukawa mzima kabisa kama ule mwingine.
14And the Pharisees going out made a consultation against him, how they might destroy him.
14Basi, Mafarisayo wakatoka nje, wakashauriana jinsi watakavyomwangamiza Yesu.
15But Jesus knowing it, retired from thence: and many followed him, and he healed them all.
15Lakini Yesu alipojua jambo hilo, akatoka mahali pale. Watu wengi walimfuata, akawaponya wagonjwa wote,
16And he charged them that they should not make him known.
16akawaamuru wasiwaambie watu habari zake,
17That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaias the prophet, saying:
17ili yale aliyosema nabii Isaya yatimie:
18Behold my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul hath been well pleased. I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
18“Hapa ni mtumishi wangu niliyemteua, mpendwa wangu anipendezaye moyoni. Nitaiweka Roho yangu juu yake, naye atatangaza hukumu yangu kwa mataifa yote.
19He shall not contend, nor cry out, neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
19Hatakuwa na ubishi wala kupiga kelele, wala sauti yake haitasikika barabarani.
20The bruised reed he shall not break: and smoking flax he shall not extinguish: till he send forth judgment unto victory.
20Mwanzi uliopondeka hatauvunja, wala utambi ufukao moshi hatauzima, mpaka atakapoifanya hukumu ya haki itawale.
21And in his name the Gentiles shall hope.
21Katika jina lake mataifa yatakuwa na tumaini.”
22Then was offered to him one possessed with a devil, blind and dumb: and he healed him, so that he spoke and saw.
22Hapo watu wakamletea Yesu kipofu mmoja ambaye alikuwa bubu kwa sababu alikuwa amepagawa na pepo. Yesu akamponya hata, akaweza kusema na kuona.
23And all the multitudes were amazed, and said: Is not this the son of David?
23Umati wote wa watu ulishangaa ukasema, “Je, huenda ikawa huyu ndiye Mwana wa Daudi?”
24But the Pharisees hearing it, said: This man casteth not out the devils but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
24Lakini Mafarisayo waliposikia hayo, wakasema, “Mtu huyu anawafukuza pepo kwa uwezo wa Beelzebuli, mkuu wa pepo.”
25And Jesus knowing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself shall be made desolate: and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.
25Yesu, akiwa anayajua mawazo yao, akawaambia, “Ufalme wowote uliogawanyika makundimakundi yanayopingana, hauwezi kudumu, na mji wowote au jamaa yoyote iliyogawanyika makundimakundi yanayopingana, itaanguka.
26And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself: how then shall his kingdom stand?
26Ikiwa Shetani anamfukuza Shetani, anajipinga mwenyewe. Basi, ufalme wake utasimamaje?
27And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.
27Ninyi mnasema ati nawafukuza pepo kwa uwezo wa Beelzebuli; je, watoto wenu huwafukuza kwa uwezo wa nani? Kwa sababu hiyo wao ndio watakaowahukumu ninyi.
28But if I by the Spirit of God cast out devils, then is the kingdom of God come upon you.
28Lakini ikiwa ninawafukuza pepo kwa nguvu ya Roho wa Mungu, basi jueni kwamba Ufalme wa Mungu umekwisha fika kwenu.
29Or how can any one enter into the house of the strong, and rifle his goods, unless he first bind the strong? and then he will rifle his house.
29“Au, anawezaje mtu kuivamia nyumba ya mtu mwenye nguvu na kumnyang'anya mali yake, bila kwanza kumfunga huyo mtu mwenye nguvu? Hapo ndipo atakapoweza kumnyang'anya mali yake.
30He that is not with me, is against me: and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.
30“Yeyote asiyejiunga nami, anapingana nami; na yeyote asiyekusanya pamoja nami, hutawanya.
31Therefore I say to you: Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but the blasphemy of the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
31Kwa sababu hiyo, nawaambieni, watu watasamehewa dhambi na kufuru zao zote, lakini hawatasamehewa dhambi ya kumkufuru Roho Mtakatifu.
32And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but he that shall speak against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in the world to come.
32Tena, asemaye neno la kumpinga Mwana wa Mtu atasamehewa, lakini yule asemaye neno la kumpinga Roho Mtakatifu, hatasamehewa, wala katika ulimwengu huu, wala katika ulimwengu ujao.
33Either make the tree good and its fruit good: or make the tree evil, and its fruit evil. For by the fruit the tree is known.
33“Ufanyeni mti kuwa mzuri na matunda yake yatakuwa mema; ufanyeni kuwa mbaya na matunda yake yatakuwa mabaya. Mti hujulikana kwa matunda yake.
34O generation of vipers, how can you speak good things, whereas you are evil? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
34Enyi kizazi cha nyoka! Mnawezaje kusema mambo mema hali ninyi ni waovu? Maana mtu husema kutokana na yale yaliyojaa moyoni.
35A good man out of a good treasure bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of an evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
35Mtu mwema hutoa mambo mema katika hazina yake njema; na mtu mbaya hutoa mambo mabaya katika hazina yake mbaya.
36But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall render an account for it in the day of judgment.
36“Basi, nawaambieni, Siku ya hukumu watu watapaswa kujibu juu ya kila neno lisilofaa wanalosema.
37For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
37Maana kwa maneno yako, utakubaliwa kuwa mwadilifu, na kwa maneno yako, utahukumiwa kuwa na hatia.”
38Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying: Master we would see a sign from thee.
38Kisha baadhi ya walimu wa Sheria na Mafarisayo wakamwambia Yesu, “Mwalimu, tunataka kuona ishara kutoka kwako.”
39Who answering said to them: An evil and adulterous generation seeketh a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
39Naye akawajibu, “Kizazi kiovu kisicho na uaminifu! Mnataka ishara; hamtapewa ishara nyingine, ila tu ile ishara ya nabii Yona.
40For as Jonas was in the whale’s belly three days and three nights: so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
40Jinsi Yona alivyokaa siku tatu kutwa kucha tumboni mwa nyangumi, ndivyo naye Mwana wa Mtu atakavyokaa ndani ya ardhi siku tatu kutwa kucha.
41The men of Ninive shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they did penance at the preaching of Jonas. And behold a greater than Jonas here.
41Watu wa Ninewi watatokea siku ya hukumu, nao watakihukumu kizazi hiki kwamba kina hatia. Maana Waninewi walitubu kwa sababu ya mahubiri ya Yona, na kumbe hapa kuna kikuu kuliko Yona!
42The queen of the south shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold a greater than Solomon here.
42Malkia wa kusini atatokea wakati kizazi hiki kitakapohukumiwa, naye atakihukumu kwamba kina hatia. Maana yeye alisafiri kutoka mbali akaja kusikiliza maneno ya hekima ya Solomoni, na kumbe hapa kuna kikuu kuliko Solomoni.
43And when an unclean spirit is gone out of a man he walketh through dry places seeking rest, and findeth none.
43“Pepo mchafu akifukuzwa kwa mtu, huzururazurura jangwani akitafuta mahali pa kupumzika asipate.
44Then he saith: I will return into my house from whence I came out. And coming he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
44Hapo hujisemea: Nitarudi nyumbani kwangu nilikotoka. Lakini anaporudi na kuikuta tupu, imefagiwa na kupambwa,
45Then he goeth, and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is made worse than the first. So shall it be also to this wicked generation.
45huenda kuwachukua pepo wengine saba, wabaya kuliko yeye; na wote huja wakamwingia huyo mtu. Na hali ya mtu huyo sasa huwa mbaya kuliko hapo mwanzo. Ndivyo itakavyokuwa kwa watu hawa waovu.”
46As he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him.
46Yesu alikuwa bado anasema na umati wa watu wakati mama yake na ndugu zake walipofika na kusimama nje, wakitaka kusema naye.
47And one said unto him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren stand without, seeking thee.
47Basi, mtu mmoja akamwambia, “Mama yako na ndugu zako wako nje, wanataka kusema nawe.”
48But he answering him that told him, said: Who is my mother, and who are my brethren?
48Lakini Yesu akamjibu mtu huyo, “Mama yangu ni nani? Na ndugu zangu ni kina nani?”
49And stretching forth his hand towards his disciples, he said: Behold my mother and my brethren.
49Kisha akaunyosha mkono wake kuelekea wanafunzi wake, akasema, “Hawa ndio mama yangu na ndugu zangu!
50For whosoever shall do the will of my Father, that is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
50Maana yeyote anayefanya anavyotaka Baba yangu aliye mbinguni, huyo ndiye ndugu yangu, dada yangu na mama yangu.”
