Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1What shall we say, then? shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
1Tuseme nini basi? Je, twendelee kubaki katika dhambi ili neema ya Mungu iongezeke?
2God forbid. For we that are dead to sin, how shall we live any longer therein?
2Hata kidogo! Kuhusu dhambi sisi tumekufa—tutaendeleaje kuishi tena katika dhambi?
3Know you not that all we, who are baptized in Christ Jesus, are baptized in his death?
3Maana, mnajua kwamba sisi tuliobatizwa tukaungana na Kristo Yesu, tulibatizwa na kuungana na kifo chake.
4For we are buried together with him by baptism into death; that as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life.
4Tulipobatizwa tuliungana na kifo chake, tukazikwa pamoja naye, ili kama vile Kristo alivyofufuliwa kutoka wafu kwa kitendo kitukufu cha Baba, sisi pia tuweze kuishi maisha mapya.
5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.
5Maana, kama sisi tumeungana naye katika kufa kama yeye, vivyo hivyo tutaungana naye kwa kufufuliwa kutoka wafu kama yeye.
6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, to the end that we may serve sin no longer.
6Tunajua kwamba utu wetu wa kale ulisulubiwa pamoja na Kristo, ili hali ya dhambi iharibiwe, tusiwe tena watumwa wa dhambi.
7For he that is dead is justified from sin.
7Kwa maana, mtu aliyekufa, amenasuliwa kutoka katika nguvu ya dhambi.
8Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live also together with Christ:
8Basi, ikiwa tumekufa pamoja na Kristo, tunaamini kwamba tutaishi pia pamoja naye.
9Knowing that Christ rising again from the dead, dieth now no more, death shall no more have dominion over him.
9Maana, tunajua kwamba Kristo amekwisha fufuliwa kutoka wafu na hafi tena; kifo hakimtawali tena.
10For in that he died to sin, he died once; but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God:
10Hivyo, kwa kuwa alikufa—mara moja tu—dhambi haina nguvu tena juu yake; na sasa anaishi maisha yake katika umoja na Mungu.
11So do you also reckon, that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
11Hali kadhalika nanyi lazima mjione kuwa mmekufa kuhusu dhambi, lakini kama mnaoishi katika umoja na Mungu kwa njia ya Kristo Yesu.
12Let no sin therefore reign in your mortal body, so as to obey the lusts thereof.
12Kwa hiyo, dhambi isiitawale tena miili yenu ambayo hufa, na hivyo kuzitii tamaa zake.
13Neither yield ye your members as instruments of iniquity unto sin; but present yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of justice unto God.
13Wala msitoe hata sehemu moja ya miili yenu iwe chombo cha kutenda uovu na dhambi. Badala yake, jitoleeni ninyi wenyewe kwa Mungu kama watu waliofufuliwa kutoka wafu; toeni nafsi zenu zote kwa Mungu kwa ajili ya uadilifu.
14For sin shall not have dominion over you; for you are not under the law, but under grace.
14Maana, dhambi haitawatawala ninyi tena, kwani hamko chini ya Sheria, bali chini ya neema.
15What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
15Basi, tuseme nini? Je, tutende dhambi ati kwa sababu hatuko chini ya Sheria bali chini ya neema? Hata kidogo!
16Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey, whether it be of sin unto death, or of obedience unto justice.
16Mnajua kwamba mkijitolea ninyi wenyewe kama watumwa na kumtii fulani, mnakuwa kweli watumwa wake mtu huyo—au watumwa wa dhambi, na matokeo yake ni kifo, au wa utii, na matokeo yake ni kukubaliwa kuwa waadilifu.
17But thanks be to God, that you were the servants of sin, but have obeyed from the heart, unto that form of doctrine, into which you have been delivered.
17Ingawa mlikuwa watumwa wa dhambi zamani, sasa lakini—namshukuru Mungu—mmetii kwa moyo wote yale maazimio na mafundisho mliyopokea.
18Being then freed from sin, we have been made servants of justice.
18Mlikombolewa kutoka utumwa wa dhambi, mkawa watumwa wa uadilifu.
19I speak an human thing, because of the infirmity of your flesh. For as you have yielded your members to serve uncleanness and iniquity, unto iniquity; so now yield your members to serve justice, unto sanctification.
19(Hapa natumia lugha ya kawaida ya watu kwa sababu ya udhaifu wenu wenyewe.) Kama vile wakati fulani mlivyojitolea ninyi wenyewe kutumikia uchafu na uhalifu kwa ajili ya uovu, vivyo hivyo sasa jitoleeni nafsi zenu wenyewe kutumikia uadilifu kwa ajili ya utakatifu.
20For when you were the servants of sin, you were free men to justice.
20Mlipokuwa watumwa wa dhambi, mlikuwa huru mbali na uadilifu.
21What fruit therefore had you then in those things, of which you are now ashamed? For the end of them is death.
21Sasa, mlipata faida gani siku zile kutokana na mambo yale ambayo mnayaonea aibu sasa? Maana, matokeo ya mambo haya ni kifo!
22But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end life everlasting.
22Lakini sasa, mmekwisha kombolewa kutoka utumwa wa dhambi na mmekuwa watumishi wa Mungu; faida mliyo nayo sasa ni utakatifu, na matokeo yake ni uzima wa milele.
23For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God, life everlasting, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
23Kwa maana mshahara wa dhambi ni kifo; lakini zawadi anayotoa Mungu ni uzima wa milele katika kuungana na Kristo Yesu, Bwana wetu.
