Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1And entering into a boat, he passed over the water and came into his own city.
1Yesu alipanda mashua, akavuka ziwa na kufika katika mji wake.
2And behold they brought to him one sick of the palsy lying in a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man sick of the palsy: Be of good heart, son, thy sins are forgiven thee.
2Hapo watu walimletea mtu mmoja aliyepooza mwili, amelazwa juu ya kitanda. Yesu alipoona imani yao, akamwambia huyo mtu aliyepooza, “Jipe moyo mwanangu! Umesamehewa dhambi zako.”
3And behold some of the scribes said within themselves: He blasphemeth.
3Baadhi ya walimu wa Sheria wakaanza kufikiri, “Mtu huyu anamkufuru Mungu!”
4And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: Why do you think evil in your hearts?
4Yesu aliyajua mawazo yao, akasema, “Kwa nini mnawaza mabaya mioyoni mwenu?
5Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee: or to say, Arise, and walk?
5Ni lipi lililo rahisi zaidi: kusema, Umesamehewa dhambi zako, au kusema, Simama, utembee?
6But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the man sick of palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house.
6Basi, nataka mjue kwamba Mwana wa Mtu anao uwezo wa kuwasamehe watu dhambi duniani.” Hapo akamwambia huyo mtu aliyepooza, “Inuka, chukua kitanda chako, uende nyumbani kwako.”
7And he arose, and went into his house.
7Huyo mtu aliyekuwa amepooza akainuka, akaenda nyumbani kwake.
8And the multitude seeing it, feared, and glorified God that gave such power to men.
8Watu wote katika ule umati walipoona hayo, walishangaa na kuogopa; wakamtukuza Mungu aliyewapa binadamu uwezo wa namna hiyo.
9And when Jesus passed on from hence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew; and he saith to him: Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.
9Yesu aliondoka hapo, na alipokuwa anakwenda zake, alimwona mtu mmoja aitwaye Mathayo, ameketi katika ofisi ya ushuru. Basi, Yesu akamwambia, “Nifuate.” Naye Mathayo akainuka, akamfuata.
10And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
10Yesu alipokuwa nyumbani ameketi kula chakula, watoza ushuru wengi na wahalifu walikuja wakaketi pamoja naye na wanafunzi wake.
11And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners?
11Mafarisayo walipoona hayo, wakawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Mbona mwalimu wenu anakula pamoja na watoza ushuru na wenye dhambi?”
12But Jesus hearing it, said: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill.
12Yesu aliwasikia, akasema, “Watu wenye afya hawahitaji daktari; wanaomhitaji ni wale walio wagonjwa. Sikuja kuwaita watu wema, ila wenye dhambi.
13Go then and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the just, but sinners.
13Basi, kajifunzeni maana ya maneno haya: Nataka huruma, wala si dhabihu. Sikuja kuwaita watu wema, bali wenye dhambi.”
14Then came to him the disciples of John, saying: Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples do not fast?
14Kisha wanafunzi wa Yohane mbatizaji walimwendea Yesu, wakamwuliza, “Sisi na Mafarisayo hufunga mara nyingi; mbona wanafunzi wako hawafungi?”
15And Jesus said to them: Can the children of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast.
15Yesu akawajibu, “Je, walioalikwa arusini wanaweza kuomboleza wakati bwana arusi yupo pamoja nao? La hasha! Lakini wakati utafika ambapo bwana arusi ataondolewa kati yao; wakati huo ndipo watakapofunga.
16And nobody putteth a piece of raw cloth unto an old garment. For it taketh away the fullness thereof from the garment, and there is made a greater rent.
16“Hakuna mtu atiaye kiraka cha nguo mpya katika vazi kuukuu. Maana kiraka hicho kitararua hilo vazi kuukuu, na pale palipokuwa pameraruka pataongezeka.
17Neither do they put new wine into old bottles. Otherwise the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish. But new wine they put into new bottles: and both are preserved.
17Wala hakuna mtu awekaye divai mpya katika viriba vikuukuu. Akifanya hivyo, viriba hupasuka na divai ikamwagika, navyo viriba vikaharibika. Ila divai mpya hutiwa katika viriba vipya, na vyote viwili, viriba na divai, vikahifadhiwa salama.”
18And he was speaking these things unto them, behold a certain ruler came up, and adored him, saying: Lord, my daughter is even now dead; but come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
18Yesu alipokuwa akisema hayo, ofisa mmoja Myahudi alifika, akamwinamia na kusema, “Binti yangu amekufa sasa hivi. Lakini, tafadhali njoo umwekee mkono wako naye ataishi.”
19And Jesus rising up followed him, with his disciples.
19Yesu akaondoka pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akamfuata.
20And behold a woman who was troubled with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment.
20Mama mmoja, mgonjwa wa kutokwa damu kwa muda wa miaka kumi na miwili, alimfuata Yesu nyuma, akagusa pindo la vazi lake.
21For she said within herself: If I shall touch only his garment, I shall be healed.
21Alifanya hivyo kwani alifikiri moyoni: “Nikigusa tu vazi lake, nitapona.”
22But Jesus turning and seeing her, said: Be of good heart, daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
22Basi, Yesu akageuka akamwona, akamwambia, “Binti, jipe moyo! Imani yako imekuponya.” Mama huyo akapona saa ileile.
23And when Jesus was come into the house of the ruler, and saw the minstrels and the multitude making a rout,
23Kisha Yesu akaingia nyumbani kwa yule ofisa. Na alipowaona wapiga filimbi na umati wa watu wanaofanya matanga,
24He said: Give place, for the girl is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
24akasema, “Ondokeni hapa! Msichana huyu hakufa, amelala tu.” Nao wakamcheka.
25And when the multitude was put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand. And the maid arose.
25Basi, umati wa watu ulipoondolewa, Yesu aliingia ndani, akamshika huyo msichana mkono, naye akasimama.
26And the fame hereof went abroad into all that country.
26Habari hiyo ikavuma sana katika nchi ile yote.
27And as Jesus passed from thence, there followed him two blind men crying out and saying, Have mercy on us, O Son of David.
27Yesu aliondoka hapo, na alipokuwa anakwenda, vipofu wawili walimfuata wakipiga kelele, “Mwana wa Daudi, utuhurumie!”
28And when he was come to the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus saith to them, Do you believe, that I can do this unto you? They say to him, Yea, Lord.
28Yesu alipoingia nyumbani, vipofu hao wawili wakamwendea, naye akawauliza, “Je, mnaamini kwamba naweza kuwafanyia jambo hilo?” Nao wakamjibu, “Naam, Mheshimiwa.”
29Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it done unto you.
29Hapo Yesu akayagusa macho yao, akasema, “Na iwe kwenu kama mnavyoamini.”
30And their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know this.
30Macho yao yakafunguliwa. Naye Yesu akawaonya kwa ukali: “Msimwambie mtu yeyote jambo hili.”
31But they going out, spread his fame abroad in all that country.
31Lakini wao wakaondoka, wakaeneza habari za Yesu katika nchi ile yote.
32And when they were gone out, behold they brought him a dumb man, possessed with a devil.
32Watu walipokuwa wanakwenda zao, wengine walimletea Yesu mtu mmoja aliyekuwa bubu kwa sababu alikuwa amepagawa na pepo.
33And after the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke, and the multitudes wondered, saying, Never was the like seen in Israel.
33Mara tu huyo pepo alipotolewa, mtu huyo aliyekuwa bubu akaanza kuongea tena. Watu wakashangaa na kusema, “Jambo kama hili halijapata kuonekana katika Israeli!”
34But the Pharisees said, By the prince of devils he casteth out devils.
34Lakini Mafarisayo wakawa wanasema, “Anawatoa pepo kwa nguvu ya mkuu wa pepo wabaya.”
35And Jesus went about all the cities, and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease, and every infirmity.
35Yesu alitembelea miji yote na vijiji, akafundisha katika masunagogi yao akihubiri Habari Njema ya Ufalme wa Mungu, na kuponya magonjwa yote na udhaifu wa kila namna.
36And seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them: because they were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd.
36Basi, alipowaona watu, makundi kwa makundi, aliwaonea huruma kwa sababu walikuwa hoi na wenye wasiwasi kama kondoo wasio na mchungaji.
37Then he saith to his disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few.
37Hapo akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Mavuno ni mengi, lakini wavunaji ni wachache.
38Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest.
38Kwa hivyo mwombeni mwenye shamba atume wavunaji shambani mwake.”
