Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1The same day Jesus going out of the house, sat by the sea side.
1Siku hiyohiyo, Yesu alitoka katika ile nyumba, akaenda na kuketi kando ya ziwa.
2And great multitudes were gathered unto him, so that he went up into a boat and sat: and all the multitude stood on the shore.
2Makundi makubwa ya watu yalimzunguka hata Yesu akapanda mashua, akaketi. Hao watu walisimama kwenye ukingo wa ziwa,
3And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying: Behold the sower went forth to sow.
3naye Yesu akawaambia mambo mengi kwa mifano. “Sikilizeni! Mpanzi alikwenda kupanda mbegu.
4And whilst he soweth some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate them up.
4Alipokuwa akipanda, nyingine zilianguka njiani, ndege wakaja wakazila.
5And other some fell upon stony ground, where they had not much earth: and they sprung up immediately, because they had no deepness of earth.
5Nyingine zilianguka penye mawe pasipokuwa na udongo mwingi. Zikaota mara kwa kuwa udongo haukuwa na kina.
6And when the sun was up they were scorched: and because they had not root, they withered away.
6Jua lilipochomoza, zilichomeka; na kwa kuwa mizizi yake haikuwa na nguvu, zikanyauka.
7And others fell among thorns: and the thorns grew up and choked them.
7Nyingine zilianguka kwenye miti ya miiba, nayo ikakua na kuzisonga.
8And others fell upon good ground: and they brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold.
8Lakini nyingine zilianguka penye udongo mzuri, zikaota, zikazaa: nyingine punje mia moja, nyingine sitini na nyingine thelathini.
9He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9Mwenye masikio na asikie!”
10And his disciples came and said to him: Why speakest thou to them in parables?
10Wanafunzi wake wakamwendea, wakamwuliza, “Kwa nini unasema na watu kwa mifano?”
11Who answered and said to them: Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven: but to them it is not given.
11Yesu akawajibu, “Ninyi mmejaliwa kuzijua siri za Ufalme wa mbinguni, lakini wao hawakujaliwa.
12For he that hath, to him shall be given, and he shall abound: but he that hath not, from him shall be taken away that also which he hath.
12Maana, aliye na kitu atapewa na kuzidishiwa; lakini yule asiye na kitu, hata kile alicho nacho kitachukuliwa.
13Therefore do I speak to them in parables: because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
13Ndiyo maana ninasema nao kwa mifano, kwa sababu wanatazama lakini hawaoni, wanasikiliza lakini hawasikii, wala hawaelewi.
14And the prophecy of Isaias is fulfilled in them, who saith: By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand: and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive.
14Kwao yametimia yale aliyosema nabii Isaya: Kusikia mtasikia, lakini hamtaelewa; Kutazama mtatazama, lakini hamtaona.
15For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears they have been dull of hearing, and their eyes they have shut: lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
15Maana akili za watu hawa zimepumbaa, wameyaziba masikio yao, wameyafumba macho yao. La sivyo, wangeona kwa macho yao. wangesikia kwa masikio yao, wangeelewa kwa akili zao, na kunigeukia, asema Bwana, nami ningewaponya.
16But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.
16“Lakini heri yenu ninyi, maana macho yenu yanaona na masikio yenu yanasikia.
17For, amen, I say to you, many prophets and just men have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the things that you hear and have not heard them.
17Kweli nawaambieni, manabii na watu wengi wema walitamani kuyaona yale mnayoyaona, wasiyaone, na kuyasikia yale mnayoyasikia, wasiyasikie.
18Hear you therefore the parable of the sower.
18“Basi, ninyi sikilizeni maana ya mfano huo wa mpanzi.
19When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, there cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he that received the seed by the way side.
19Yeyote asikiaye ujumbe wa ufalme bila kuuelewa, ni kama zile mbegu zilizoanguka njiani; yule Mwovu huja na kunyakua kile kilichopandwa moyoni mwake.
20And he that received the seed upon stony ground, is he that heareth the word, and immediately receiveth it with joy.
20Ile mbegu iliyopandwa penye mawe ni mfano wa mtu asikiaye ujumbe huo na mara akaupokea kwa furaha.
21Yet hath he not root in himself, but is only for a time: and when there ariseth tribulation and persecution because of the word, he is presently scandalized.
21Lakini haumwingii na kuwa na mizizi ndani yake; huendelea kuuzingatia ujumbe huo kwa kitambo tu, na wakati taabu au udhalimu vinapotokea kwa sababu ya ujumbe huo, anakata tamaa mara.
22And he that received the seed among thorns, is he that heareth the word, and the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choketh up the word, and he becometh fruitless.
22Ile mbegu iliyoanguka kati ya miti ya miiba, ni mfano wa mtu asikiaye huo ujumbe, lakini wasiwasi wa ulimwengu huu na anasa za mali huusonga ujumbe huo, naye hazai matunda.
23But he that received the seed upon good ground, is he that heareth the word, and understandeth, and beareth fruit, and yieldeth the one an hundredfold, and another sixty, and another thirty.
23Ile mbegu iliyopandwa katika udongo mzuri ni mfano wa mtu ausikiaye ujumbe huo na kuuelewa, naye huzaa matunda; mmoja mia, mwingine sitini na mwingine thelathini.”
24Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seeds in his field.
24Yesu akawaambia watu mfano mwingine: “Ufalme wa mbinguni unafanana na mtu aliyepanda mbegu nzuri katika shamba lake.
25But while men were asleep, his enemy came and oversowed cockle among the wheat and went his way.
25Lakini watu wakiwa wamelala, adui yake akaja akapanda magugu kati ya ngano, akaenda zake.
26And when the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared also the cockle.
26Basi, mimea ilipoota na kuanza kuchanua, magugu pia yakaanza kuonekana.
27And the servants of the goodman of the house coming said to him: Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it cockle?
27Watumishi wa yule mwenye shamba wakamwendea, wakamwambia, Mheshimiwa, bila shaka ulipanda mbegu nzuri katika shamba lako. Sasa magugu yametoka wapi?
28And he said to them: An enemy hath done this. And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up?
28Yeye akawajibu, Adui ndiye aliyefanya hivyo. Basi, watumishi wake wakamwuliza, Je, unataka twende tukayang'oe
29And he said: No, lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it.
29Naye akawajibu, La, msije labda mnapokusanya magugu, mkang'oa na ngano pia.
30Suffer both to grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn.
30Acheni vikue pamoja mpaka wakati wa mavuno. Wakati huo nitawaambia wavunaji: kusanyeni kwanza magugu mkayafunge mafungumafungu ya kuchomwa. Lakini ngano ikusanyeni mkaiweke ghalani mwangu.”
31Another parable he proposed unto them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field.
31Yesu akawaambia watu mfano mwingine: “Ufalme wa mbinguni unafanana na mbegu ya haradali aliyotwaa mtu mmoja, akaipanda katika shamba lake.
32Which is the least indeed of all seeds; but when it is grown up, it is greater than all herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come, and dwell in the branches thereof.
32Yenyewe ni ndogo kuliko mbegu zote, lakini ikishaota huwa kubwa kuliko mimea yote. Hukua ikawa mti, na ndege wa angani huja na kujenga viota katika matawi yake.”
33Another parable he spoke to them: The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.
33Yesu akawaambia mfano mwingine: “Ufalme wa mbinguni umefanana na chachu aliyotwaa mama mmoja, akaichanganya na unga pishi tatu, hata unga wote ukaumuka.”
34All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes: and without parables he did not speak to them.
34Yesu aliwaambia watu hayo yote kwa mifano. Hakuwaambia chochote bila kutumia mifano,
35That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.
35ili jambo lililonenwa na nabii litimie: “Nitasema kwa mifano; nitawaambia mambo yaliyofichika tangu kuumbwa ulimwengu.”
36Then having sent away the multitudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle of the field.
36Kisha Yesu aliwaaga wale watu, akaingia nyumbani. Wanafunzi wake wakamwendea, wakamwambia, “Tufafanulie ule mfano wa magugu shambani.”
37Who made answer and said to them: He that soweth the good seed, is the Son of man.
37Yesu akawaambia, “Mpanzi wa zile mbegu nzuri ni Mwana wa Mtu.
38And the field, is the world. And the good seed are the children of the kingdom. And the cockle, are the children of the wicked one.
38Lile shamba ni ulimwengu. Zile mbegu nzuri ni watu wale ambao Ufalme ni wao. Lakini yale magugu ni wale watu wa yule Mwovu.
39And the enemy that sowed them, is the devil. But the harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels.
39Adui aliyepanda yale magugu ni Ibilisi. Mavuno ni mwisho wa nyakati na wavunaji ni malaika.
40Even as cockle therefore is gathered up, and burnt with fire: so shall it be at the end of the world.
40Kama vile magugu yanavyokusanywa kuchomwa moto, ndivyo itakavyokuwa mwishoni mwa nyakati;
41The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and them that work iniquity.
41Mwana wa Mtu atawatuma malaika wake wawakusanye kutoka katika Ufalme wake wale wote wenye kusababisha dhambi, na wote wenye kutenda maovu,
42And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
42na kuwatupa katika tanuru ya moto, na huko watalia na kusaga meno.
43Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
43Kisha, wale wema watang'ara kama jua katika Ufalme wa Baba yao. Sikieni basi, kama mna masikio!
44The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
44“Ufalme wa mbinguni umefanana na hazina iliyofichika shambani. Mtu mmoja aliigundua, akaificha tena. Alifurahi sana hata akaenda kuuza yote aliyokuwa nayo, akalinunua shamba lile.
45Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls.
45“Tena, Ufalme wa mbinguni umefanana na mfanyabiashara mmoja mwenye kutafuta lulu nzuri.
46Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it.
46Alipopata lulu moja ya thamani kubwa, alienda akauza yote aliyokuwa nayo, akainunua lulu ile.
47Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kind of fishes.
47“Tena, Ufalme wa mbinguni unafanana na wavu uliotupwa baharini, ukanasa samaki wa kila aina.
48Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth.
48Ulipojaa, watu waliuvuta pwani, wakaketi, wakachagua samaki wazuri wakawaweka ndani ya vikapu vyao, na wabaya wakawatupa.
49So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just.
49Ndivyo itakavyokuwa mwishoni mwa nyakati: malaika watatokea, watawatenganisha watu wabaya na watu wema,
50And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
50na kuwatupa hao wabaya katika tanuru ya moto. Huko watalia na kusaga meno.”
51Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.
51Yesu akawauliza, “Je, mmeelewa mambo haya yote?” Wakamjibu, “Naam.”
52He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.
52Naye akawaambia, “Hivyo basi, kila mwalimu wa Sheria aliye mwanafunzi wa Ufalme wa mbinguni anafanana na mwenye nyumba atoaye katika hazina yake vitu vipya na vya kale.”
53And it came to pass: when Jesus had finished these parables, he passed from thence.
53Yesu alipomaliza kusema mifano hiyo alitoka mahali hapo,
54And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogues, so that they wondered and said: How came this man by this wisdom and miracles?
54akaenda kijijini kwake. Huko akawa anawafundisha watu katika sunagogi hata wakashangaa, wakasema, “Huyu amepata wapi hekima hii na maajabu?
55Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude:
55Je, huyu si yule mwana wa seremala? Je, mama yake si anaitwa Maria, na ndugu zake si kina Yakobo, Yosefu, Simoni na Yuda?
56And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence therefore hath he all these things?
56Na dada zake je, si wote wako hapa pamoja nasi? Basi amepata wapi haya yote?”
57And they were scandalized in his regard. But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
57Basi, wakawa na mashaka naye. Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Nabii hakosi kuheshimiwa, isipokuwa katika nchi yake na nyumbani mwake!”
58And he wrought not many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
58Kwa hiyo, hakutenda miujiza mingi pale kwa sababu ya kutoamini kwao.
