Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves, and was transfigured before them.
1Yesu akaendelea kuwaambia, “Kweli nawaambieni, wako wengine papa hapa ambao hawatakufa kabla ya kuuona Ufalme wa Mungu ukija kwa enzi.”
2And his garments became shining and exceeding white as snow, so as no fuller upon earth can make white.
2Baada ya siku sita, Yesu aliwachukua Petro, Yakobo na Yohane juu ya mlima mrefu peke yao. Huko, Yesu akageuka sura mbele yao,
3And there appeared to them Elias with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.
3mavazi yake yakang'aa, yakawa meupe sana, jinsi dobi yeyote duniani asingeweza kuyafanya meupe.
4And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
4Eliya na Mose wakawatokea, wakazungumza na Yesu.
5For he knew not what he said: for they were struck with fear.
5Petro akamwambia Yesu, “Mwalimu, ni vizuri sana kwamba tuko hapa. Basi, afadhali tujenge vibanda vitatu: kimoja chako, kimoja cha Mose na kimoja cha Eliya.”
6And there was a cloud overshadowing them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my most beloved son; hear ye him.
6Yeye na wenzake waliogopa hata hakujua la kusema.
7And immediately looking about, they saw no man any more, but Jesus only with them.
7Kisha likatokea wingu likawafunika, na sauti ikasikika kutoka katika hilo wingu, “Huyu ni Mwanangu mpendwa, msikilizeni.”
8And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them not to tell any man what things they had seen, till the Son of man shall be risen again from the dead.
8Mara wanafunzi hao wakatazama tena, lakini hawakumwona mtu mwingine, ila Yesu peke yake pamoja nao.
9And they kept the word to themselves; questioning together what that should mean, when he shall be risen from the dead.
9Walipokuwa wakishuka mlimani, Yesu aliwakataza wasimwambie mtu yeyote mambo waliyoyaona, mpaka Mwana wa Mtu atakapokuwa amefufuka kutoka wafu.
10And they asked him, saying: Why then do the Pharisees and scribes say that Elias must come first?
10Basi, wakashika agizo hilo, lakini wakawa wanajadiliana wao kwa wao maana ya kufufuka kutoka wafu.
11Who answering, said to them: Elias, when he shall come first, shall restore all things; and as it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things and be despised.
11Wakamwuliza Yesu, “Mbona walimu wa Sheria wanasema kwamba ni lazima Eliya aje kwanza?”
12But I say to you, that Elias also is come, (and they have done to him whatsoever they would,) as it is written of him.
12Naye akawajibu, “Naam, Eliya anakuja kwanza kutayarisha yote. Hata hivyo, kwa nini basi imeandikwa katika Maandiko Matakatifu kwamba Mwana wa Mtu atapatwa na mateso mengi na kudharauliwa?
13And coming to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes disputing with them.
13Lakini nawaambieni, Eliya amekwisha kuja, nao wakamtendea walivyotaka kama ilivyoandikwa juu yake.”
14And presently all the people seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear; and running to him, they saluted him.
14Walipowafikia wale wanafunzi wengine, waliona umati mkubwa wa watu hapo. Na baadhi ya walimu wa Sheria walikuwa wanajadiliana nao.
15And he asked them: What do you question about among you?
15Mara tu ule umati wa watu ulipomwona, wote walishangaa sana, wakamkimbilia wamsalimu.
16And one of the multitude, answering, said: Master, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit.
16Yesu akawauliza, “Mnajadiliana nini nao?”
17Who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth with the teeth, and pineth away; and I spoke to thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.
17Hapo mtu mmoja katika ule umati wa watu akamjibu, “Mwalimu, nimemleta mwanangu kwako, ana pepo aliyemfanya kuwa bubu.
18Who answering them, said: O incredulous generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
18Kila mara anapomvamia, humwangusha chini na kumfanya atokwe na povu kinywani, akisaga meno na kuwa mkavu mwili wote. Niliwaomba wanafunzi wako wamtoe huyo pepo lakini hawakuweza.”
19And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit troubled him; and being thrown down upon the ground, he rolled about foaming.
19Yesu akawaambia, “Enyi kizazi kisicho na imani! Nitakaa nanyi mpaka lini? Nitawavumilia mpaka lini? Mleteni kwangu.”
20And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath happened unto him? But he said: From his infancy:
20Wakampeleka. Mara tu huyo pepo alipomwona Yesu, alimtia mtoto kifafa, naye mtoto akaanguka chini, akagaagaa na kutoka povu kinywani. Yesu akamwuliza baba yake huyo mtoto,
21And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having compassion on us.
21“Amepatwa na mambo hayo tangu lini?” Naye akamjibu, “Tangu utoto wake.
22And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
22Na mara nyingi pepo huyo amemwangusha motoni na majini, ili amwangamize kabisa. Basi, ikiwa waweza, utuhurumie na kutusaidia!”
23And immediately the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe, Lord: help my unbelief.
23Yesu akamwambia, “Eti ikiwa waweza! Mambo yote yanawezekana kwa mtu aliye na imani.”
24And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out of him; and enter not any more into him.
24Hapo, huyo baba akalia kwa sauti, “Naamini! Lakini imani yangu haitoshi, nisaidie!”
25And crying out, and greatly tearing him, he went out of him, and he became as dead, so that many said: He is dead.
25Yesu alipouona umati wa watu unaongezeka upesi mbele yake, alimkemea yule pepo mchafu, “Pepo unayemfanya huyu mtoto kuwa bubu-kiziwi, nakuamuru, mtoke mtoto huyu wala usimwingie tena!”
26But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up; and he arose.
26Hapo huyo pepo alipaaza sauti, akamwangusha huyo mtoto chini, kisha akamtoka. Mtoto alionekana kama maiti, hata wengine walisema, “Amekufa!”
27And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out?
27Lakini Yesu akamshika mkono, akamwinua, naye akasimama.
28And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
28Yesu alipoingia nyumbani, wanafunzi wake walimwuliza kwa faragha, “Kwa nini sisi hatukuweza kumtoa?”
29And departing from thence, they passed through Galilee, and he would not that any man should know it.
29Naye akawaambia, “Pepo wa aina hii hawezi kutoka isipokuwa kwa sala tu.”
30And he taught his disciple, and said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise again the third day.
30Yesu na wanafunzi wake waliondoka hapo, wakaendelea na safari kupitia wilaya ya Galilaya. Yesu hakupenda watu wajue alipokuwa,
31But they understood not the word, and they were afraid to ask him.
31kwa sababu alikuwa anawafundisha wanafunzi wake. Aliwaambia, “Mwana wa Mtu atakabidhiwa kwa watu ambao watamuua; lakini siku ya tatu baada ya kuuawa atafufuka.”
32And they came to Capharnaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them: What did you treat of in the way?
32Wanafunzi hawakufahamu jambo hilo. Wakaogopa kumwuliza.
33But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest.
33Basi, walifika Kafarnaumu. Na alipokuwa nyumbani, aliwauliza, “Mlikuwa mnajadiliana nini njiani?”
34And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them: If any man desire to be first, he shall be the last of all, and the minister of all.
34Lakini wao wakanyamaza, maana njiani walikuwa wamebishana ni nani aliye mkuu kati yao.
35And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith to them:
35Yesu akaketi chini, akawaita wale kumi na wawili, akawaambia, “Yeyote anayetaka kuwa wa kwanza lazima awe wa mwisho na kuwa mtumishi wa wote.”
36Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
36Kisha akamchukua mtoto mdogo, akamsimamisha kati yao, akamku mbatia, halafu akawaambia,
37John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us, and we forbade him.
37“Anayempokea mtoto kama huyu kwa jina langu, ananipokea mimi; na anayenipokea mimi, hanipokei mimi tu, bali anampokea yule aliyenituma.”
38But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name, and can soon speak ill of me.
38Yohane akamwambia, “Mwalimu, tumemwona mtu mmoja akitoa pepo kwa kulitumia jina lako, nasi tukajaribu kumkataza kwa kuwa yeye si mmoja wetu.”
39For he that is not against you, is for you.
39Lakini Yesu akasema, “Msimkataze, maana hakuna mtu anayefanya muujiza kwa jina langu, na papo hapo akaweza kusema mabaya juu yangu.
40For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because you belong to Christ: amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
40Maana, asiyepingana nasi, yuko upande wetu.
41And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me; it were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
41Mtu yeyote atakeyewapeni kikombe cha maji ya kunywa kwa sababu ninyi ni watu wake Kristo, hakika hatakosa kupata tuzo lake.
42And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into unquenchable fire:
42“Mtu yeyote atakayemfanya mmoja wa hawa wadogo wanaoniamini atende dhambi, ingekuwa afadhali kwa mtu huyo kufungiwa shingoni mwake jiwe kubwa la kusagia na kutupwa baharini.
43Where there worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
43Mkono wako ukikukosesha, ukate! Afadhali kuingia kwenye uzima bila mkono mmoja, kuliko kuwa na mikono miwili na kwenda katika moto wa Jehanamu.
44And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter lame into life everlasting, than having two feet, to be cast into the hell of unquenchable fire:
44Humo, wadudu wake hawafi na moto hauzimiki.
45Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
45Na mguu wako ukikukosesha, ukate! Afadhali kuingia katika uzima bila mguu mmoja, kuliko kuwa na miguu yote miwili na kutupwa katika moto wa Jehanamu.
46And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out. It is better for thee with one eye to enter into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire:
46Humo, wadudu wake hawafi na moto hauzimiki.
47Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
47Na jicho lako likikukosesha, ling'oe! Afadhali kuingia katika utawala wa Mungu ukiwa na jicho moja tu, kuliko kuwa na macho yako yote mawili na kutupwa katika moto wa Jehanamu.
48For every one shall be salted with fire: and every victim shall be salted with salt.
48Humo wadudu wake hawafi, na moto hauzimiki.
49Salt is good. But if the salt became unsavoury; wherewith will you season it? Have salt in you, and have peace among you.
49“Maana kila mmoja atakolezwa kwa moto.

50Chumvi ni nzuri, lakini ikipoteza ladha yake, itakolezwa na nini? Muwe na chumvi ndani yenu na kudumisha amani kati yenu.”
