Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1And when morning was come, all the chief priests and ancients of the people took counsel against Jesus, that they might put him to death.
1Kulipopambazuka, makuhani wakuu wote na wazee wa watu walifanya mashauri juu ya Yesu wapate kumwua.
2And they brought him bound, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
2Wakamfunga pingu, wakamchukua, wakamkabidhi kwa Pilato, mkuu wa mkoa.
3Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that he was condemned, repenting himself, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and ancients,
3Hapo, Yuda ambaye ndiye aliyemsaliti, alipoona kwamba wamekwisha mhukumu Yesu, akajuta, akawarudishia makuhani wakuu zile sarafu thelathini za fedha.
4Saying: I have sinned in betraying innocent blood. But they said: What is that to us? look thou to it.
4Akawaambia, “Nimekosa kwa kumtoa mtu asiye na hatia auawe.” Lakini wao wakasema, “Yatuhusu nini sisi? Hilo ni shauri lako.”
5And casting down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed: and went and hanged himself with an halter.
5Naye akazitupa zile fedha Hekaluni, akatoka nje, akaenda akajinyonga.
6But the chief priests having taken the pieces of silver, said: It is not lawful to put them into the corbona, because it is the price of blood.
6Makuhani wakuu wakazichukua zile fedha, wakasema, “Haifai kuziweka katika hazina ya Hekalu kwa maana ni fedha za damu.”
7And after they had consulted together, they bought with them the potter’s field, to be a burying place for strangers.
7Basi, wakashauriana, wakazitumia kununua shamba la mfinyanzi liwe mahali pa kuzika wageni.
8For this cause the field was called Haceldama, that is, The field of blood, even to this day.
8Ndiyo maana mpaka leo shamba hilo linaitwa Shamba la Damu.
9Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying: And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was prized, whom they prized of the children of Israel.
9Hivyo maneno ya nabii Yeremia yakatimia: “Walizichukua sarafu thelathini za fedha, thamani ya yule ambaye watu wa Israeli walipanga bei,
10And they gave them unto the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed to me.
10wakanunua nazo shamba la mfinyanzi, kama Bwana alivyoniagiza.”
11And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? Jesus saith to him: Thou sayest it.
11Yesu alisimamishwa mbele ya mkuu wa mkoa. Basi, mkuu wa mkoa akamwuliza, “Je, wewe ndiwe Mfalme wa Wayahudi?” Yesu akamwambia, “Wewe umesema.”
12And when he was accused by the chief priests and ancients, he answered nothing.
12Lakini makuhani wakuu na wazee walipokuwa wanamshtaki, hakujibu neno.
13Then Pilate saith to him: Dost not thou hear how great testimonies they allege against thee?
13Hivyo Pilato akamwuliza, “Je, husikii mashtaka hayo yote wanayotoa juu yako?”
14And he answered him to never a word; so that the governor wondered exceedingly.
14Lakini Yesu hakumjibu hata neno moja; hata huyo mkuu wa mkoa akashangaa sana.
15Now upon the solemn day the governor was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner, whom they would.
15Ilikuwa kawaida wakati wa Sikukuu ya Pasaka mkuu wa mkoa kuwafungulia Wayahudi mfungwa mmoja waliyemtaka.
16And he had then a notorious prisoner, that was called Barabbas.
16Wakati huo kulikuwa na mfungwa mmoja, jina lake Baraba.
17They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said: Whom will you that I release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus that is called Christ?
17Hivyo, watu walipokusanyika pamoja, Pilato akawauliza, “Mwataka nimfungue yupi kati ya wawili hawa, Baraba ama Yesu aitwae Kristo?”
18For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
18Alisema hivyo maana alijua wazi kwamba walimleta kwake kwa sababu ya wivu.
19And as he was sitting in the place of judgment, his wife sent to him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that just man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
19Pilato alipokuwa amekaa katika kiti cha hukumu, mke wake akampelekea ujumbe: “Usijitie katika shauri la mtu huyu mwema, maana leo nimeteseka sana katika ndoto kwa sababu yake.”
20But the chief priests and ancients persuaded the people, that they should ask Barabbas, and make Jesus away.
20Lakini makuhani wakuu na wazee wakawashawishi watu waombe Baraba afunguliwe na Yesu auawe.
21And the governor answering, said to them: Whether will you of the two to be released unto you? But they said, Barabbas.
21Mkuu wa mkoa akawauliza, “Ni yupi kati ya hawa wawili mnayetaka nimfungue?” Wakamjibu, “Baraba!”
22Pilate saith to them: What shall I do then with Jesus that is called Christ? They say all: Let him be crucified.
22Pilato akawauliza, “Sasa, nifanye nini na Yesu aitwaye Kristo?” Wote wakasema, “Asulubiwe!”
23The governor said to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying: Let him be crucified.
23Pilato akauliza, “Kwa nini? Amefanya kosa gani?” Wao wakazidi kupaaza sauti: “Asulubiwe!”
24And Pilate seeing that he prevailed nothing, but that rather a tumult was made; taking water washed his hands before the people, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man; look you to it.
24Basi, Pilato alipotambua kwamba hafanikiwi chochote na kwamba maasi yalikuwa yanaanza, alichukua maji, akanawa mikono mbele ya ule umati wa watu, akasema, “Mimi sina lawama juu ya kifo cha mtu huyu; shauri lenu wenyewe.”
25And the whole people answering, said: His blood be upon us and our children.
25Watu wote wakasema, “Damu yake na iwe juu yetu na juu ya watoto wetu!”
26Then he released to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him unto them to be crucified.
26Hapo Pilato akawafungulia Baraba kutoka gerezani, lakini akamtoa Yesu asulubiwe.
27Then the soldiers of the governor taking Jesus into the hall, gathered together unto him the whole band;
27Kisha askari wa mkuu wa mkoa wakamwingiza Yesu ndani ya ikulu, wakamkusanyikia kikosi kizima.
28And stripping him, they put a scarlet cloak about him.
28Wakamvua nguo zake, wakamvika joho la rangi nyekundu.
29And platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying: Hail, king of the Jews.
29Kisha wakasokota taji ya miiba, wakamvika kichwani, wakamwekea pia mwanzi katika mkono wake wa kulia. Wakapiga magoti mbele yake, wakamdhihaki wakisema, “Shikamoo mfalme wa Wayahudi!”
30And spitting upon him, they took the reed, and struck his head.
30Wakamtemea mate, wakauchukua ule mwanzi, wakampiga nao kichwani.
31And after they had mocked him, they took off the cloak from him, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify him.
31Baada ya kumdhihaki, wakamvua lile joho, wakamvika nguo zake, kisha wakampeleka kumsulubisha.
32And going out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they forced to take up his cross.
32Walipokuwa wakienda, wakamkuta mtu mmoja jina lake Simoni, mwenyeji wa Kurene, wakamlazimisha kuuchukua msalaba wake Yesu.
33And they came to the place that is called Golgotha, which is the place of Calvary.
33Walipofika mahali paitwapo Golgotha, maana yake, “Mahali pa Fuvu la kichwa,”
34And they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall. And when he had tasted, he would not drink.
34wakampa mchanganyiko wa divai na nyongo. Lakini Yesu alipoonja akakataa kunywa.
35And after they had crucified him, they divided his garments, casting lots; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: They divided my garments among them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.
35Walimsulubisha, kisha wakagawana mavazi yake kwa kuyapigia kura.
36And they sat and watched him.
36Wakaketi, wakawa wanamchunga.
37And they put over his head his cause written: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
37Juu ya kichwa chake wakaweka shtaka dhidi yake lilioandikwa, “Huyu ni Yesu, Mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
38Then were crucified with him two thieves: one on the right hand, and one on the left.
38Wanyang'anyi wawili walisulubishwa pia pamoja naye, mmoja upande wa kushoto na mwingine upande wa kulia.
39And they that passed by, blasphemed him, wagging their heads,
39Watu waliokuwa wanapita mahali hapo walimtukana wakitikisa vichwa vyao na kusema,
40And saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God, and in three days dost rebuild it: save thy own self: if thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
40“Wewe! Si ulijidai kulivunja Hekalu na kulijenga kwa siku tatu? Sasa jiokoe mwenyewe. Kama wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, basi shuka msalabani!”
41In like manner also the chief priests, with the scribes and ancients, mocking, said:
41Hali kadhalika na makuhani wakuu pamoja na walimu wa Sheria na wazee walimdhihaki wakisema,
42He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
42“Aliwaokoa wengine, lakini kujiokoa mwenyewe hawezi! Eti yeye ni mfalme wa Wayahudi! Basi, sasa na ashuke msalabani, nasi tutamwamini.
43He trusted in God; let him now deliver him if he will have him; for he said: I am the Son of God.
43Alimtumainia Mungu na kusema eti yeye ni Mwana wa Mungu; basi, Mungu na amwokoe kama anamtaka.”
44And the selfsame thing the thieves also, that were crucified with him, reproached him with.
44Hali kadhalika na wale waliosulubiwa pamoja naye wakamtukana.
45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole earth, until the ninth hour.
45Tangu saa sita mchana mpaka saa tisa, nchi yote ikawa katika giza.
46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying: Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
46Mnamo saa tisa Yesu akalia kwa sauti kubwa, “Eli, Eli, lema sabakthani?” Maana yake, “Mungu wangu, Mungu wangu, mbona umeniacha?”
47And some that stood there and heard, said: This man calleth Elias.
47Lakini wale waliosimama pale waliposikia hivyo wakasema, “Anamwita Eliya.”
48And immediately one of them running took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar; and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
48Mmoja wao akakimbia, akachukua sifongo, akaichovya katika siki, akaiweka juu ya mwanzi, akampa anywe.
49And the others said: Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to deliver him.
49Wengine wakasema, “Acha tuone kama Eliya anakuja kumwokoa.”
50And Jesus again crying with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
50Basi, Yesu akalia tena kwa sauti kubwa, akakata roho.
51And behold the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top even to the bottom, and the earth quaked, and the rocks were rent.
51Hapo pazia la Hekalu likapasuka vipande viwili, toka juu mpaka chini; nchi ikatetemeka; miamba ikapasuka;
52And the graves were opened: and many bodies of the saints that had slept arose,
52makaburi yakafunguka na watu wengi wa Mungu waliokufa wakafufuliwa;
53And coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, came into the holy city, and appeared to many.
53nao, baada ya kufufuka kwake, wakatoka makaburini, wakaingia katika Mji Mtakatifu, wakaonekana na watu wengi.
54Now the centurion and they that were with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were sore afraid, saying: Indeed this was the Son of God.
54Basi, jemadari na wale waliokuwa wakimlinda Yesu walipoona tetemeko la ardhi na yale mambo yaliyotukia, wakaogopa sana, wakasema, “Hakika mtu huyu alikuwa Mwana wa Mungu.”
55And there were there many women afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
55Mahali hapo walikuwapo wanawake wengi wakitazama kwa mbali. Hao ndio wale waliomfuata Yesu kutoka Galilaya wakimtumikia.
56Among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
56Miongoni mwao walikuwa Maria Magdalene, Maria mama yao Yakobo na Yosefu, pamoja na mama yao wana wa Zebedayo.
57And when it was evening, there came a certain rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus.
57Ilipokuwa jioni, akaja mtu mmoja tajiri mwenyeji wa Armathaya, jina lake Yosefu. Yeye pia alikuwa mwanafunzi wa Yesu.
58He went to Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that the body should be delivered.
58Akamwendea Pilato, akaomba apewe mwili wa Yesu. Basi, Pilato akaamuru apewe.
59And Joseph taking the body, wrapped it up in a clean linen cloth.
59Yosefu akauchukua ule mwili akauzungushia sanda safi ya kitani,
60And laid it in his own new monument, which he had hewed out in a rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the monument, and went his way.
60akauweka ndani ya kaburi lake jipya alilokuwa amelichonga katika mwamba. Kisha akavingirisha jiwe kubwa mbele ya mlango wa kaburi, akaenda zake.
61And there was there Mary Magdalen, and the other Mary sitting over against the sepulchre.
61Maria Magdalene na yule Maria mwingine walikuwa wameketi kulielekea kaburi.
62And the next day, which followed the day of preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate,
62Kesho yake, yaani siku iliyofuata ile ya Maandalio, makuhani wakuu na Mafarisayo walimwendea Pilato,
63Saying: Sir, we have remembered, that that seducer said, while he was yet alive: After three days I will rise again.
63Wakasema, “Mheshimiwa, tunakumbuka kwamba yule mdanganyifu alisema kabla ya kufa ati, Baada ya siku tatu nitafufuka.
64Command therefore the sepulchre to be guarded until the third day: lest perhaps his disciples come and steal him away, and say to the people: He is risen from the dead; and the last error shall be worse than the first.
64Kwa hiyo amuru kaburi lilindwe mpaka siku ya tatu ili wanafunzi wake wasije wakamwiba na kuwaambia watu kwamba amefufuka. Uongo huu wa mwisho utakuwa mbaya kuliko ule wa awali.”
65Pilate saith to them: You have a guard; go, guard it as you know.
65Pilato akawaambia, “Haya, mnao walinzi; nendeni mkalinde kadiri mjuavyo.”
66And they departing, made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting guards.
66Basi, wakaenda, wakalilinda kaburi, wakatia mhuri juu ya lile jiwe na kuacha hapo askari walinzi.
