Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1And I beheld, and lo a lamb stood upon mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.
1Kisha nikaona mlima Sioni, na Mwanakondoo amesimama juu yake; pamoja naye walikuwa watu mia moja arobaini na nne elfu ambao juu ya paji za nyuso zao walikuwa wameandikwa jina la Mwanakondoo na jina la Baba yake.
2And I heard a voice from heaven, as the noise of many waters, and as the voice of great thunder; and the voice which I heard, was as the voice of harpers, harping on their harps.
2Basi, nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni, sauti iliyokuwa kama sauti ya maji mengi na kama sauti ya ngurumo kubwa. Sauti niliyosikia ilikuwa kama sauti ya wachezaji muziki wakipiga vinubi vyao.
3And they sung as it were a new canticle, before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and the ancients; and no man could say the canticle, but those hundred forty-four thousand, who were purchased from the earth.
3Walikuwa wanaimba wimbo mpya mbele ya kiti cha enzi na mbele ya wale viumbe hai wanne na wale wazee. Hakuna mtu aliyeweza kujifunza wimbo huo isipokuwa hao watu mia moja arobaini na nne elfu waliokombolewa duniani.
4These are they who were not defiled with women: for they are virgins. These follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, the firstfruits to God and to the Lamb:
4Watu hao ndio wale waliojiweka safi kwa kutoonana kimwili na wanawake, nao ni mabikira. Wao humfuata Mwanakondoo kokote aendako. Wamekombolewa kutoka miongoni mwa binadamu wengine, wakawa wa kwanza kutolewa kwa Mungu na kwa Mwanakondoo.
5And in their mouth there was found no lie; for they are without spot before the throne of God.
5Hawakupata kamwe kuwa waongo; hawana hatia yoyote.
6And I saw another angel flying through the midst of heaven, having the eternal gospel, to preach unto them that sit upon the earth, and over every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people:
6Kisha nikamwona malaika mwingine anaruka juu angani akiwa na Habari Njema ya milele ya Mungu, aitangaze kwa watu wote waishio duniani, kwa mataifa yote, makabila yote, watu wa lugha zote na rangi zote.
7Saying with a loud voice: Fear the Lord, and give him honour, because the hour of his judgment is come; and adore ye him, that made heaven and earth, the sea, and the fountains of waters.
7Akasema kwa sauti kubwa, “Mcheni Mungu na kumtukuza! Maana saa imefika ya kutoa hukumu yake. Mwabuduni yeye aliyeumba mbingu na nchi, bahari na chemchemi za maji.”
8And another angel followed, saying: That great Babylon is fallen, is fallen; which made all nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
8Malaika wa pili alimfuata huyo wa kwanza akisema, “Ameanguka! Naam, Babuloni mkuu ameanguka! Babuloni ambaye aliwapa mataifa yote wainywe divai yake—divai kali ya uzinzi wake!”
9And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice: If any man shall adore the beast and his image, and receive his character in his forehead, or in his hand;
9Na malaika wa tatu aliwafuata hao wawili akisema kwa sauti kubwa, “Yeyote anayemwabudu yule mnyama na sanamu yake na kukubali kutiwa alama yake juu ya paji la uso wake au juu ya mkono wake,
10He also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mingled with pure wine in the cup of his wrath, and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the sight of the holy angels, and in the sight of the Lamb.
10yeye mwenyewe atakunywa divai ya ghadhabu ya Mungu, ambayo imemiminwa katika kikombe cha ghadhabu yake bila kuchanganywa na maji. Mtu huyo atateseka ndani ya moto na kiberiti mbele ya malaika watakatifu na mbele ya Mwanakondoo.
11And the smoke of their torments shall ascend up for ever and ever: neither have they rest day nor night, who have adored the beast, and his image, and whoever receiveth the character of his name.
11Moshi wa moto unaowatesa kupanda juu milele na milele. Watu hao waliomwabudu huyo mnyama na sanamu yake, na kutiwa alama ya jina lake, hawatakuwa na nafuu yoyote usiku na mchana.”
12Here is the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
12Kutokana na hayo, ni lazima watu wa Mungu, yaani watu wanaotii amri ya Mungu na kumwamini Yesu, wawe na uvumilivu.
13And I heard a voice from heaven, saying to me: Write: Blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord. From henceforth now, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; for their works follow them.
13Kisha nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni ikisema, “Andika! Heri watu ambao tangu sasa wanakufa wakiwa wameungana na Bwana.” Naye Roho asema, “Naam! Watapumzika kutoka taabu zao; maana matunda ya jasho lao yatawafuata.”
14And I saw, and behold a white cloud; and upon the cloud one sitting like to the Son of man, having on his head a crown of gold, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
14Kisha nikatazama, na kumbe palikuwapo wingu jeupe hapo. Na juu ya wingu hilo kulikuwa na kiumbe kama mtu. Alikuwa amevaa taji ya dhahabu kichwani, na kushika mundu mkononi mwake.
15And another angel came out from the temple crying with a loud voice to him that sat upon the cloud: Thrust in thy sickle, and reap, because the hour is come to reap: for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
15Kisha malaika mwingine akatoka Hekaluni, na kwa sauti kubwa akamwambia yule aliyekuwa amekaa juu ya wingu, “Tafadhali, tumia mundu wako ukavune mavuno, maana wakati wa mavuno umefika; mavuno ya dunia yameiva.”
16And he that sat on the cloud thrust his sickle into the earth, and the earth was reaped.
16Basi, yule aliyekuwa amekaa juu ya wingu akautupa mundu wake duniani, na mavuno ya dunia yakavunwa.
17And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
17Kisha malaika mwingine akatoka katika Hekalu mbinguni akiwa na mundu wenye makali.
18And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire; and he cried with a loud voice to him that had the sharp sickle, saying: Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vineyard of the earth; because the grapes thereof are ripe.
18Kisha malaika mwingine msimamizi wa moto, akatoka madhabahuni akamwambia kwa sauti kubwa yule malaika mwenye mundu wenye makali, “Nawe tia huo mundu wako mkali, ukakate vichala vya mizabibu ya dunia, maana zabibu zake zimeiva!”
19And the angel thrust in his sharp sickle into the earth, and gathered the vineyard of the earth, and cast it into the great press of the wrath of God:
19Basi, malaika huyo akautupa mundu wake duniani, akakata zabibu za dunia, akazitia ndani ya chombo kikubwa cha kukamulia zabibu, chombo cha ghadhabu ya Mungu.
20And the press was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the press, up to the horses’ bridles, for a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
20Zabibu zikakamuliwa ndani ya hilo shinikizo lililoko nje ya mji, na damu ikatoka katika shinikizo hilo mtiririko mrefu kiasi cha mita mia tatu na kina chake kiasi cha mita mia mbili.
