Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended all these words, he said to his disciples:
1Yesu alipomaliza kusema hayo yote, aliwaambia wanafunzi wake,
2You know that after two days shall be the pasch, and the son of man shall be delivered up to be crucified:
2“Mnajua kwamba baada ya siku mbili tutakuwa na sikukuu ya Pasaka, na Mwana wa Mtu atatolewa ili asulubiwe.”
3Then were gathered together the chief priests and ancients of the people into the court of the high priest, who was called Caiphas:
3Wakati huo makuhani wakuu na wazee wa watu walikutana pamoja katika ukumbi wa Kayafa, Kuhani Mkuu.
4And they consulted together, that by subtilty they might apprehend Jesus, and put him to death.
4Wakashauriana jinsi ya kumtia Yesu nguvuni kwa hila wamuue.
5But they said: Not on the festival day, lest perhaps there should be a tumult among the people.
5Lakini wakaamua jambo hilo lisifanyike wakati wa sikukuu, kusije kukatokea ghasia kati ya watu.
6And when Jesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper,
6Yesu alipokuwa Bethania, nyumbani kwa Simoni, aitwaye Mkoma,
7There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of precious ointment, and poured it on his head as he was at table.
7mama mmoja aliyekuwa na chupa ya alabasta yenye marashi ya thamani kubwa, alimjia pale mezani alipokuwa amekaa kula chakula, akammiminia hayo marashi kichwani.
8And the disciples seeing it, had indignation, saying: To what purpose is this waste?
8Wanafunzi wake walipoona hayo wakakasirika, wakasema, “Ya nini hasara hii?
9For this might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
9Marashi haya yangaliweza kuuzwa kwa bei kubwa, maskini wakapewa hizo fedha.”
10And Jesus knowing it, said to them: Why do you trouble this woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
10Yesu alitambua mawazo yao, akawaambia, “Mbona mnamsumbua huyu mama? Yeye amenitendea jambo jema.
11For the poor you have always with you: but me you have not always.
11Maskini mnao daima pamoja nanyi, lakini mimi sitakuwapo pamoja nanyi daima.
12For she in pouring this ointment upon my body, hath done it for my burial.
12Huyu mama amenimiminia marashi ili kunitayarisha kwa maziko.
13Amen I say to you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which she hath done, shall be told for a memory of her.
13Nawaambieni kweli, popote ambapo hii Habari Njema itahubiriwa ulimwenguni, kitendo hiki alichofanya mama huyu kitatajwa kwa kumkumbuka yeye.”
14Then went one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests,
14Kisha, Yuda Iskarioti, mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili, akaenda kwa makuhani wakuu,
15And said to them: What will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you? But they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.
15akawaambia, “Mtanipa kitu gani kama nikimkabidhi Yesu kwenu?” Wakamhesabia sarafu thelathini za fedha;
16And from thenceforth he sought opportunity to betray him.
16na tangu wakati huo Yuda akawa anatafuta nafasi ya kumsaliti.
17And on the first day of the Azymes, the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the pasch?
17Siku ya kwanza kabla ya Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu, wanafunzi walimwendea Yesu wakamwuliza, “Unataka tukuandalie wapi chakula cha Pasaka?”
18But Jesus said: Go ye into the city to a certain man, and say to him: the master saith, My time is near at hand, with thee I make the pasch with my disciples.
18Yeye akawajibu, “Nendeni mjini kwa mtu fulani, mkamwambie: Mwalimu anasema, wakati wangu umefika; kwako nitakula Pasaka pamoja na wanafunzi wangu.”
19And the disciples did as Jesus appointed to them, and they prepared the pasch.
19Wanafunzi wakafanya kama Yesu alivyowaagiza, wakaandaa Pasaka.
20But when it was evening, he sat down with his twelve disciples.
20Kulipokuwa jioni, Yesu akakaa mezani pamoja na wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili.
21And whilst they were eating, he said: Amen I say to you, that one of you is about to betray me.
21Walipokuwa wakila, Yesu akasema, “Nawaambieni kweli, mmoja wenu atanisaliti.”
22And they being very much troubled, began every one to say: Is it I, Lord?
22Wanafunzi wakahuzunika sana, wakaanza kuuliza mmojammoja, “Bwana! Je, ni mimi?”
23But he answering, said: He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, he shall betray me.
23Yesu akajibu, “Atakayechovya mkate pamoja nami katika bakuli ndiye atakayenisaliti.
24The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed: it were better for him, if that man had not been born.
24Naam, Mwana wa Mtu anakwenda zake kama Maandiko Matakatifu yasemavyo, lakini ole wake mtu yule atakayemsaliti Mwana wa Mtu! Ingalikuwa afadhali kwa mtu huyo kama hangalizaliwa.”
25And Judas that betrayed him, answering, said: Is it I, Rabbi? He saith to him: Thou hast said it.
25Yuda, ambaye ndiye aliyetaka kumsaliti, akamwuliza, “Mwalimu! Je, ni mimi?” Yesu akamjibu, “Wewe umesema.”
26And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke: and gave to his disciples, and said: Take ye, and eat. This is my body.
26Walipokuwa wanakula, Yesu akatwaa mkate, akashukuru, akaumega, akawapa wanafunzi wake akisema, “Twaeni mle; huu ni mwili wangu.”
27And taking the chalice, he gave thanks, and gave to them, saying: Drink ye all of this.
27Kisha akatwaa kikombe, akamshukuru Mungu, akawapa akisema, “Nyweni nyote;
28For this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins.
28maana hii ni damu yangu inayothibitisha agano, damu inayomwagwa kwa ajili ya watu wengi ili kuwaondolea dhambi.
29And I say to you, I will not drink from henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I shall drink it with you new in the kingdom of my Father.
29Nawaambieni, sitakunywa tena divai ya zabibu mpaka siku ile nitakapoinywa mpya pamoja nanyi katika Ufalme wa Baba yangu.”
30And a hymn being said, they went out unto mount Olivet.
30Baada ya kuimba wimbo, wakaondoka, wakaenda katika mlima wa Mizeituni.
31Then Jesus said to them: All you shall be scandalized in me this night. For it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be dispersed.
31Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “Usiku huu wa leo, ninyi nyote mtakuwa na mashaka nami, maana Maandiko Matakatifu yasema: Nitampiga mchungaji, na kondoo wa kundi watatawanyika.
32But after I shall be risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
32Lakini baada ya kufufuka kwangu, nitawatangulieni Galilaya.”
33And Peter answering, said to him: Although all shall be scandalized in thee, I will never be scandalized.
33Petro akamwambia Yesu “Hata kama wote watakuwa na mashaka nawe na kukuacha, mimi sitakuacha kamwe.”
34Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee, that in this night before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice.
34Yesu akamwambia, “Kweli nakwambia, usiku huu kabla jogoo hajawika, utanikana mara tatu.”
35Peter saith to him: Yea, though I should die with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner said all the disciples.
35Petro akamwambia, “Hata kama ni lazima nife pamoja nawe, sitakukana kamwe.” Wale wanafunzi wengine wote wakasema vivyo hivyo.
36Then Jesus came with them into a country place which is called Gethsemani; and he said to his disciples: Sit you here, till I go yonder and pray.
36Kisha Yesu akaenda pamoja nao bustanini Gethsemane, akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Kaeni hapa nami niende pale mbele kusali.”
37And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to grow sorrowful and to be sad.
37Akawachukua Petro na wana wawili wa Zebedayo, akaanza kuwa na huzuni na mahangaiko.
38Then he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death: stay you here, and watch with me.
38Hapo akawaambia, “Nina huzuni kubwa moyoni hata karibu kufa. Kaeni hapa mkeshe pamoja nami.”
39And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying, and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
39Basi, akaenda mbele kidogo, akaanguka kifudifudi, akasali: “Baba yangu, kama inawezekana, aacha kikombe hiki cha mateso kinipite; lakini isiwe nitakavyo mimi, ila utakavyo wewe.”
40And he cometh to his disciples, and findeth them asleep, and he saith to Peter: What? Could you not watch one hour with me?
40Akawaendea wale wanafunzi, akawakuta wamelala. Akamwambia Petro, “Ndiyo kusema hamkuweza kukesha pamoja nami hata saa moja?
41Watch ye, and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak.
41Kesheni na kusali ili msije mkaingia katika majaribu. Roho i tayari lakini mwili ni dhaifu.”
42Again the second time, he went and prayed, saying: My Father, if this chalice may not pass away, but I must drink it, thy will be done.
42Akaenda tena mara ya pili akasali: “Baba yangu, kama haiwezekani kikombe hiki kinipite bila mimi kukinywa, basi, mapenzi yako yafanyike.”
43And he cometh again and findeth them sleeping: for their eyes were heavy.
43Akawaendea tena, akawakuta wamelala, maana macho yao yalikuwa yamebanwa na usingizi.
44And leaving them, he went again: and he prayed the third time, saying the selfsame word.
44Basi, akawaacha, akaenda tena kusali mara ya tatu kwa maneno yaleyale.
45Then he cometh to his disciples, and saith to them: Sleep ye now and take your rest; behold the hour is at hand, and the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners.
45Kisha akawaendea wale wanafunzi, akawaambia, “Je, mngali mmelala na kupumzika? Tazameni! Saa yenyewe imefika, na Mwana wa Mtu atatolewa kwa watu wenye dhambi.
46Rise, let us go: behold he is at hand that will betray me.
46Amkeni, twendeni zetu. Tazameni! Anakuja yule atakayenisaliti.”
47As he yet spoke, behold Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the ancients of the people.
47Basi, Yesu alipokuwa bado anasema nao, mara akaja Yuda, mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili. Pamoja naye walikuja watu wengi wenye mapanga na marungu ambao walitumwa na makuhani wakuu na wazee wa watu.
48And he that betrayed him, gave them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he, hold him fast.
48Huyo aliyetaka kumsaliti Yesu, alikuwa amekwisha wapa ishara akisema: “Yule nitakayembusu ndiye; mkamateni.”
49And forthwith coming to Jesus, he said: Hail, Rabbi. And he kissed him.
49Basi, Yuda akamkaribia Yesu, akamwambia, “Shikamoo, Mwalimu!” Kisha akambusu.
50And Jesus said to him: Friend, whereto art thou come? Then they came up, and laid hands on Jesus, and held him.
50Yesu akamwambia, “Rafiki, fanya ulichokuja kufanya.” Hapo wale watu wakaja, wakamkamata Yesu, wakamtia nguvuni.
51And behold one of them that were with Jesus, stretching forth his hand, drew out his sword: and striking the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear.
51Mmoja wa wale waliokuwa pamoja na Yesu akanyosha mkono, akauchomoa upanga wake, akampiga mtumishi wa Kuhani Mkuu, akamkata sikio.
52Then Jesus saith to him: Put up again thy sword into its place: for all that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
52Hapo Yesu akamwambia, “Rudisha upanga wako alani, maana yeyote anayeutumia upanga, atakufa kwa upanga.
53Thinkest thou that I cannot ask my Father, and he will give me presently more than twelve legions of angels?
53Je, hamjui kwamba ningeweza kumwomba Baba yangu naye mara angeniletea zaidi ya majeshi kumi na mawili ya malaika?
54How then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that so it must be done?
54Lakini yatatimiaje Maandiko Matakatifu yasemayo kwamba ndivyo inavyopaswa kuwa?”
55In that same hour Jesus said to the multitudes: You are come out as it were to a robber with swords and clubs to apprehend me. I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you laid not hands on me.
55Wakati huohuo Yesu akauambia huo umati wa watu waliokuja kumtia nguvuni, “Je, mmekuja kunikamata kwa mapanga na marungu kama kwamba mimi ni mnyang'anyi? Kila siku nilikuwa Hekaluni nikifundisha, na hamkunikamata!
56Now all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples all leaving him, fled.
56Lakini haya yote yametendeka ili Maandiko ya manabii yatimie.” Kisha wanafunzi wote wakamwacha, wakakimbia.
57But they holding Jesus led him to Caiphas the high priest, where the scribes and the ancients were assembled.
57Basi, hao watu waliomkamata Yesu walimpeleka nyumbani kwa Kayafa, Kuhani Mkuu, walikokusanyika walimu wa Sheria na wazee.
58And Peter followed him afar off, even to the court of the high priest. And going in, he sat with the servants, that he might see the end.
58Petro alimfuata kwa mbali mpaka uani kwa Kuhani Mkuu, akaingia ndani pamoja na walinzi ili apate kuona mambo yatakavyokuwa.
59And the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death:
59Basi, makuhani wakuu na Baraza lote wakatafuta ushahidi wa uongo dhidi ya Yesu wapate kumwua,
60And they found not, whereas many false witnesses had come in. And last of all there came two false witnesses:
60lakini hawakupata ushahidi wowote, ingawa walikuja mashahidi wengi wa uongo. Mwishowe wakaja mashahidi wawili,
61And they said: This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and after three days to rebuild it.
61wakasema, “Mtu huyu alisema: Ninaweza kuliharibu Hekalu la Mungu na kulijenga tena kwa siku tatu.”
62And the high priest rising up, said to him: Answerest thou nothing to the things which these witness against thee?
62Kuhani Mkuu akasimama, akamwuliza Yesu, “Je, hujibu neno? Watu hawa wanashuhudia nini dhidi yako?”
63But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said to him: I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou be the Christ the Son of God.
63Lakini Yesu akakaa kimya. Kuhani Mkuu akamwambia, “Nakuapisha kwa Mungu aliye hai, twambie kama wewe ndiwe Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu!”
64Jesus saith to him: Thou hast said it. Nevertheless I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
64Yesu akamwambia, “Wewe umesema! Lakini nawaambieni, tangu sasa mtamwona Mwana wa Mtu ameketi upande wa kulia wa Mwenyezi, akija juu ya mawingu ya mbinguni.”
65Then the high priests rent his garments, saying: He hath blasphemed; what further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now you have heard the blasphemy:
65Hapo, Kuhani Mkuu akararua mavazi yake, akasema, “Amekufuru! Tuna haja gani tena ya mashahidi? Sasa mmesikia kufuru yake.
66What think you? But they answering, said: He is guilty of death.
66Ninyi mwaonaje?” Wao wakamjibu, “Anastahili kufa!”
67Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him: and others struck his face with the palms of their hands,
67Kisha wakamtemea mate usoni, wakampiga makofi. Wengine wakiwa wanampiga makofi,
68Saying: Prophesy unto us, O Christ, who is he that struck thee?
68wakasema, “Haya Kristo, tutabirie; ni nani amekupiga!”
69But Peter sat without in the court: and there came to him a servant maid, saying: Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilean.
69Petro alikuwa ameketi nje uani. Basi, mtumishi mmoja wa kike akamwendea, akasema, “Wewe ulikuwa pamoja na Yesu wa Galilaya.”
70But he denied before them all, saying: I know not what thou sayest.
70Petro akakana mbele ya wote akisema, “Sijui hata unasema nini.”
71And as he went out of the gate, another maid saw him, and she saith to them that were there: This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.
71Alipokuwa akitoka mlangoni, mtumishi mwingine wa kike akamwona, akawaambia wale waliokuwa pale, “Mtu huyu alikuwa pamoja na Yesu wa Nazareti.”
72And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.
72Petro akakana tena kwa kiapo: “Simjui mtu huyo.”
73And after a little while they came that stood by, and said to Peter: Surely thou also art one of them; for even thy speech doth discover thee.
73Baadaye kidogo, watu waliokuwa pale wakamwendea Petro, wakamwambia, “Hakika, wewe pia ni mmoja wao, maana msemo wako unakutambulisha.”
74Then he began to curse and to swear that he knew not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
74Hapo Petro akaanza kujilaani na kuapa akisema, “Simjui mtu huyo!” Mara jogoo akawika.
75And Peter remembered the word of Jesus which he had said: Before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. And going forth, he wept bitterly.
75Petro akakumbuka maneno aliyoambiwa na Yesu: “Kabla jogoo hajawika, utanikana mara tatu.” Basi, akatoka nje akalia sana.
