Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1And there assembled together unto him the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem.
1Baadhi ya Mafarisayo na walimu wa Sheria waliokuwa wametoka Yerusalemu walikusanyika mbele ya Yesu.
2And when they had seen some of his disciples eat bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.
2Waliona kwamba baadhi ya wanafunzi wake walikula mikate kwa mikono najisi, yaani bila kunawa.
3For the Pharisees, and all the Jews eat not without often washing their hands, holding the tradition of the ancients:
3Maana Mafarisayo na Wayahudi wengine wote huzingatia mapokeo ya wazee wao: hawali kitu kabla ya kunawa mikono ipasavyo.
4And when they come from the market, unless they be washed, they eat not: and many other things there are that have been delivered to them to observe, the washings of cups and of pots, and of brazen vessels, and of beds.
4Tena hawali kitu chochote kutoka sokoni mpaka wamekiosha kwanza. Kuna pia desturi nyingine walizopokea kama vile namna ya kuosha vikombe, sufuria na vyombo vya shaba.
5And the Pharisees and scribes asked him: Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the ancients, but they eat bread with common hands?
5Basi, Mafarisayo na walimu wa Sheria wakamwuliza Yesu, “Mbona wanafunzi wako hawayajali mapokeo tuliyopokea kwa wazee wetu, bali hula chakula kwa mikono najisi?”
6But he answering, said to them: Well did Isaias prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
6Yesu akawajibu, “Wanafiki ninyi! Nabii Isaya alitabiri ukweli juu yenu alipoandika: Watu hawa, asema Mungu, huniheshimu kwa maneno matupu, lakini mioyoni mwao wako mbali nami.
7And in vain to they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men.
7Kuniabudu kwao hakufai, maana mambo wanayofundisha ni maagizo ya kibinadamu tu.
8For leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the washing of pots and of cups: and many other things you do like to these.
8Ninyi mnaiacha amri ya Mungu na kushikilia maagizo ya watu.”
9And he said to them: Well do you make void the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.
9Yesu akaendelea kusema, “Ninyi mnajua kuepa kwa ujanja sheria ya Mungu kwa ajili ya kufuata mapokeo yenu.
10For Moses said: Honour thy father and thy mother; and He that shall curse father or mother, dying let him die.
10Maana Mose aliamuru: Waheshimu baba yako na mama yako, na, Anayemlaani baba au mama, lazima afe.
11But you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Corban, (which is a gift,) whatsoever is from me, shall profit thee.
11Lakini ninyi mwafundisha, Kama mtu anacho kitu ambacho angeweza kuwasaidia nacho baba au mama yake, lakini akasema kwamba kitu hicho ni Korbani (yaani ni zawadi kwa Mungu),
12And further you suffer him not to do any thing for his father or mother,
12basi, halazimiki tena kuwasaidia wazazi wake.
13Making void the word of God by your own tradition, which you have given forth. And many other such like things you do.
13Hivyo ndivyo mnavyodharau neno la Mungu kwa ajili ya mafundisho mnayopokezana. Tena mnafanya mambo mengi ya namna hiyo.”
14And calling again the multitude unto him, he said to them: Hear ye me all, and understand.
14Yesu aliuita tena ule umati wa watu, akawaambia, “Nisikilizeni nyote, mkaelewe.
15There is nothing from without a man that entering into him, can defile him. But the things which come from a man, those are they that defile a man.
15Hakuna kitu kinachoingia ndani ya mtu toka nje ambacho chaweza kumtia mtu najisi. Lakini kinachotoka ndani ya mtu ndicho kinachomtia mtu najisi.”
16If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
16Mwenye masikio na asikie!
17And when he was come into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him the parable.
17Alipouacha umati wa watu na kuingia nyumbani, wanafunzi wake walimwuliza maana ya huo mfano.
18And he saith to them: So are you also without knowledge? understand you not that every thing from without, entering into a man cannot defile him:
18Naye akawaambia, “Je, hata ninyi hamwelewi? Je, hamwelewi kwamba kitu kinachomwingia mtu toka nje hakiwezi kumtia unajisi,
19Because it entereth not into his heart, but goeth into the belly, and goeth out into the privy, purging all meats?
19kwa maana hakimwingii moyoni, ila tumboni, na baadaye hutolewa nje chooni?” (Kwa kusema hivyo, Yesu alivihalalisha vyakula vyote.)
20But he said that the things which come out from a man, they defile a man.
20Akaendelea kusema, “Kinachotoka ndani ya mtu ndicho kinachomtia najisi.
21For from within out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
21Kwa maana kutoka ndani, katika moyo wa mtu, hutoka mawazo mabaya, uasherati, wizi, uuaji,
22Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
22uzinzi, uchoyo, uovu, udanganyifu, ufisadi, wivu, kashfa, kiburi na upumbavu.
23All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.
23Maovu hayo yote yatoka ndani ya mtu, nayo humtia mtu najisi.”
24And rising from thence he went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon: and entering into a house, he would that no man should know it, and he could not be hid.
24Yesu aliondoka hapo, akaenda hadi wilaya ya Tiro. Huko aliingia katika nyumba moja na hakutaka mtu ajue; lakini hakuweza kujificha.
25For a woman as soon as she heard of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came in and fell down at his feet.
25Mwanamke mmoja ambaye binti yake alikuwa na pepo, alisikia habari za Yesu. Basi, akaja akajitupa chini mbele ya miguu yake.
26For the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophenician born. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
26Mama huyo alikuwa Mgiriki, mwenyeji wa Sirofoinike. Basi, akamwomba Yesu amtoe binti yake pepo mchafu.
27Who said to her: Suffer first the children to be filled: for it is not good to take the bread of the children, and cast it to the dogs.
27Yesu akamwambia, “Kwanza watoto washibe; kwa maana si vizuri kuchukua chakula cha watoto na kuwatupia mbwa.”
28But she answered and said to him: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat under the table of the crumbs of the children.
28Lakini huyo mama akasema, “Sawa, Bwana, lakini hata mbwa walio chini ya meza hula makombo ya watoto.”
29And he said to her: For this saying go thy way, the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
29Yesu akamwambia, “Kwa sababu ya neno hilo, nenda. Pepo amemtoka binti yako!”
30And when she was come into her house, she found the girl lying upon the bed, and that the devil was gone out.
30Basi, akaenda nyumbani kwake, akamkuta mtoto amelala kitandani, na pepo amekwisha mtoka.
31And again going out of the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
31Kisha Yesu aliondoka wilayani Tiro, akapitia Sidoni, akafika ziwa Galilaya kwa kupitia nchi ya Dekapoli.
32And they bring to him one deaf and dumb; and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him.
32Basi, wakamletea bubu-kiziwi, wakamwomba amwekee mikono.
33And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, he touched his tongue:
33Yesu akamtenga na umati wa watu, akamtia vidole masikioni, akatema mate na kumgusa ulimi.
34And looking up to heaven, he groaned, and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened.
34Kisha akatazama juu mbinguni, akapiga kite, akamwambia, “Efatha,” maana yake, “Funguka.”
35And immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke right.
35Mara masikio yake yakafunguka na ulimi wake ukafunguliwa, akaanza kusema sawasawa.
36And he charged them that they should tell no man. But the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it.
36Yesu akawaamuru wasimwambie mtu juu ya jambo hilo. Lakini kadiri alivyowakataza, ndivyo walivyozidi kutangaza habari hiyo.
37And so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all things well; he hath made both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
37Watu walishangaa sana, wakasema, “Amefanya yote vyema: amewajalia viziwi kusikia, na bubu kusema!”
