Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1And I saw that the Lamb had opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures, as it were the voice of thunder, saying: Come, and see.
1Kisha nikamwona Mwanakondoo anavunja mhuri mmojawapo wa ile mihuri saba. Nikasikia kimoja cha vile viumbe hai vinne kikisema kwa sauti kama ya ngurumo, “Njoo!”
2And I saw: and behold a white horse, and he that sat on him had a bow, and there was a crown given him, and he went forth conquering that he might conquer.
2Mimi nikatazama, na kumbe palikuwa na farasi mmoja mweupe hapo. Na mpanda farasi wake alikuwa na upinde, akapewa na taji. Basi, akatoka kama mshindi aendelee kushinda.
3And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature, saying: Come, and see.
3Kisha, Mwanakondoo akavunja mhuri wa pili. Nikamsikia yule kiumbe hai wa pili akisema, “Njoo!”
4And there went out another horse that was red: and to him that sat thereon, it was given that he should take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another, and a great sword was given to him.
4Nami nikatazama na kumbe palikuwapo farasi mwingine hapo, mwekundu. Mpanda farasi wake alikabidhiwa jukumu la kuondoa amani duniani, watu wauane, akapewa upanga mkubwa.
5And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying: Come, and see. And behold a black horse, and he that sat on him had a pair of scales in his hand.
5Kisha Mwanakondoo akavunja mhuri wa tatu. Nikamsikia yule kiumbe hai wa tatu akisema, “Njoo!” Nikatazama na kumbe palikuwapo farasi mmoja hapo, mweusi. Mpanda farasi wake alikuwa na vipimo viwili vya kupimia uzito mkononi mwake.
6And I heard as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying: Two pounds of wheat for a penny, and thrice two pounds of barley for a penny, and see thou hurt not the wine and the oil.
6Nikasikia kitu kama sauti itokayo kwa vile viumbe hai vinne. Nayo ilisema, “Kibaba kimoja cha unga wa ngano wa kiasi cha fedha dinari moja, na vibaba vitatu vya shayiri kwa dinari moja. Lakini usiharibu mafuta wala divai!”
7And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature, saying: Come, and see.
7Kisha Mwanakondoo akavunja mhuri wa nne. Nikamsikia yule kiumbe hai wa nne akisema, “Njoo!”
8And behold a pale horse, and he that sat upon him, his name was Death, and hell followed him. And power was given to him over the four parts of the earth, to kill with sword, with famine, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
8Nami nikatazama, na kumbe alikuwapo farasi mmoja hapo, rangi yake kijivu. Na jina la mpanda farasi wake lilikuwa kifo, na Kuzimu alimfuata nyuma. Hao walipewa mamlaka juu ya robo moja ya dunia, wawaue watu kwa upanga, njaa, tauni na kwa wanyama wakali wa dunia.
9And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held.
9Kisha Mwanakondoo akavunja mhuri wa tano. Nikaona pale chini ya madhabahu ya kufukizia ubani roho za wale waliouawa kwa sababu ya ujumbe wa Mungu, na kwa sababu ya ushuhuda waliotoa.
10And they cried with a loud voice, saying: How long, O Lord (holy and true) dost thou not judge and revenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
10Basi, wakalia kwa sauti kubwa: “Ee Bwana, uliye mtakatifu na mwaminifu, mpaka lini utakawia kulipiza kisasi kwa wakazi wote wa dunia kwa ajili ya kuuawa kwetu?”
11And white robes were given to every one of them one; and it was said to them, that they should rest for a little time, till their fellow servants, and their brethren, who are to be slain, even as they, should be filled up.
11Wakapewa kila mmoja vazi refu jeupe, wakaambiwa wazidi kusubiri kwa muda mfupi, mpaka itakapotimia idadi ya watumishi wenzao na ndugu ambao watawaua kama wao wenyewe walivyouawa.
12And I saw, when he had opened the sixth seal, and behold there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair: and the whole moon became as blood:
12Kisha nikatazama, na wakati Mwanakondoo alipouvunja mhuri wa sita, kukawa na tetemeko kubwa la ardhi; jua likawa jeusi kama gunia; mwezi wote ukawa mwekundu kama damu;
13And the stars from heaven fell upon the earth, as the fig tree casteth its green figs when it is shaken by a great wind:
13nazo nyota za mbingu zikaanguka juu ya ardhi kama matunda ya mtini yasiyokomaa yaangukavyo wakati mti wake unapotikiswa na upepo mkali.
14And the heaven departed as a book folded up: and every mountain, and the islands were moved out of their places.
14Anga likatoweka kama vile karatasi inavyokunjwakunjwa; milima yote na visima vyote vikaondolewa mahali pake.
15And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and tribunes, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of mountains:
15Kisha wafalme wa duniani, wakuu, majemadari, matajiri, wenye nguvu, kila mtumwa na mtu huru, wakajificha mapangoni na kwenye majabali milimani.
16And they say to the mountains and the rocks: Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb:
16Wakaiambia hiyo milima na hayo majabali, “Tuangukieni, mkatufiche mbali na yeye aketiye juu ya kiti cha enzi, na mbali na ghadhabu ya Mwanakondoo!
17For the great day of their wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand?
17Maana siku maalum ya ghadhabu yao imefika. Nani awezaye kuikabili?”
