Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and it was said to me: Arise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar and them that adore therein.
1Kisha nikapewa mwanzi uliokuwa kama kijiti cha kupimia, nikaambiwa, “Inuka, ukalipime Hekalu la Mungu, madhabahu ya kufukizia ubani, na ukawahesabu watu wanaoabudu ndani ya Hekalu.
2But the court, which is without the temple, cast out, and measure it not: because it is given unto the Gentiles, and the holy city they shall tread under foot two and forty months:
2Lakini uache ukumbi ulio nje ya Hekalu; usiupime, maana huo umekabidhiwa watu wa mataifa mengine, ambao wataukanyanga mji Mtakatifu kwa muda wa miezi arobaini na miwili.
3And I will give unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.
3Nami nitawatuma mashahidi wangu wawili ili watangaze ujumbe wa Mungu kwa muda huo wa siku elfu moja mia mbili na sitini wakiwa wamevaa mavazi ya magunia.”
4These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks, that stand before the Lord of the earth.
4Hao mashahidi wawili ni miti miwili ya Mizeituni na taa mbili zinazosimama mbele ya Bwana wa dunia.
5And if any man will hurt them, fire shall come out of their mouths, and shall devour their enemies. And if any man will hurt them, in this manner must he be slain.
5Kama mtu akijaribu kuwadhuru, moto hutoka kinywani mwao na kuwaangamiza adui zao; na kila mtu atakayejaribu kuwadhuru atakufa namna hiyo.
6These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and they have power over waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues as often as they will.
6Hao wanayo mamlaka ya kufunga anga, mvua isinyeshe wakati wanapotangaza ujumbe wa Mungu. Tena wanayo mamlaka ya kuzigeuza chemchemi zote za maji ziwe damu, na ya kusababisha maafa ya kila namna duniani kila mara wapendavyo.
7And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast, that ascendeth out of the abyss, shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
7Lakini wakisha maliza kutangaza ujumbe huo, mnyama atokaye shimoni kuzimu atapigana nao, atawashinda na kuwaua.
8And their bodies shall lie in the streets of the great city, which is called spiritually, Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord also was crucified.
8Maiti zao zitabaki katika barabara za mji mkuu ambapo Bwana wao alisulubiwa; jina la kupanga la mji huo ni Sodoma au Misri.
9And they of the tribes, and peoples, and tongues, and nations, shall see their bodies for three days and a half: and they shall not suffer their bodies to be laid in sepulchres.
9Watu wa kila kabila, lugha, taifa na rangi wataziangalia maiti hizo kwa muda wa siku tatu na nusu, na hawataruhusu zizikwe.
10And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry: and shall send gifts one to another, because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt upon the earth.
10Watu waishio duniani watafurahia kifo cha hao wawili. Watafanya sherehe na kupelekeana zawadi maana manabii hawa wawili walikuwa wamewasumbua mno watu wa dunia.
11And after three days and a half, the spirit of life from God entered into them. And they stood upon their feet, and great fear fell upon them that saw them.
11Lakini baada ya zile siku tatu na nusu pumzi ya uhai kutoka kwa Mungu iliwaingia, nao wakasimama; wote waliowaona wakaingiwa na hofu kuu.
12And they heard a great voice from heaven, saying to them: Come up hither. And they went up to heaven in a cloud: and their enemies saw them.
12Kisha hao manabii wawili wakasikia sauti kubwa kutoka mbinguni ikiwaambia, “Njoni hapa juu!” Nao wakapanda juu mbinguni katika wingu, maadui wao wakiwa wanawatazama.
13And at that hour there was made a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell: and there were slain in the earthquake names of men seven thousand: and the rest were cast into a fear, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
13Wakati huohuo, kukatokea tetemeko kubwa la ardhi, sehemu moja ya kumi ya ardhi ikaharibiwa. Watu elfu saba wakauawa kwa tetemeko hilo la ardhi. Watu waliosalia wakaogopa sana, wakamtukuza Mungu wa mbinguni.
14The second woe is past: and behold the third woe will come quickly.
14Maafa ya pili yamepita; lakini tazama! Maafa ya tatu yanafuata hima.
15And the seventh angel sounded the trumpet: and there were great voices in heaven, saying: The kingdom of this world is become our Lord’s and his Christ’s, and he shall reign for ever and ever. Amen.
15Kisha malaika wa saba akapiga tarumbeta yake. Na sauti kuu zikasikika mbinguni zikisema, “Sasa utawala juu ya ulimwengu ni wa Bwana wetu na Kristo wake. Naye atatawala milele na milele!”
16And the four and twenty ancients, who sit on their seats in the sight of God, fell on their faces and adored God, saying:
16Kisha wale wazee ishirini na wanne walioketi mbele ya Mungu katika viti vyao vya enzi, wakaanguka kifudifudi, wakamwabudu Mungu,
17We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who art, and who wast, and who art to come: because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and thou hast reigned.
17wakisema: “Bwana Mungu Mwenye uwezo, uliyeko na uliyekuwako! Tunakushukuru, maana umetumia nguvu yako kuu ukaanza kutawala!
18And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest render reward to thy servants the prophets and the saints, and to them that fear thy name, little and great, and shouldest destroy them who have corrupted the earth.
18Watu wa mataifa waliwaka hasira, maana wakati wa ghadhabu yako umefika, wakati wa kuwahukumu wafu. Ndio wakati wa kuwatuza watumishi wako manabii, watu wako na wote wanaolitukuza jina lako, wakubwa kwa wadogo. Ni wakati wa kuwaangamiza wale wanaoangamiza dunia.”
19And the temple of God was opened in heaven: and the ark of his testament was seen in his temple, and there were lightnings, and voices, and an earthquake, and great hail.
19Hekalu la Mungu mbinguni likafunguliwa, na Sanduku la Agano lake likaonekana Hekaluni mwake. Kisha kukatokea umeme, sauti, ngurumo, tetemeko la ardhi, na mvua kubwa ya mawe.
