1 Wakorintho 16
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1Sasa, yahusu ule mchango kwa ajili ya watu wa Mungu: fanyeni kama nilivyoyaagiza makanisa ya Galatia.
1Now about the collection for the saints, you are to do as I directed the churches of Galatia:
2Kila Jumapili kila mmoja wenu atenge kiasi cha fedha kadiri ya mapato yake, ili kusiwe na haja ya kufanya mchango wakati nitakapokuja.
2On the first day of every week, each of you should set aside a portion of his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will be needed.
3Wakati nitakapokuja kwenu, nitawatuma wale mtakaowachagua miongoni mwenu wapeleke barua na zawadi zenu Yerusalemu.
3Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
4Kama itafaa nami niende, basi, watakwenda pamoja nami.
4And if it is advisable for me to go also, they can travel with me.
5Nitakuja kwenu, baada ya kupitia Makedonia—maana nataraji kupitia Makedonia.
5After I go through Macedonia, however, I will come to you; for I will be going through Macedonia.
6Labda nitakaa kwenu kwa muda fulani, au huenda nitakaa pamoja nanyi wakati wote wa baridi, ili mpate kunisaidia niendelee na safari yangu kokote nitakakokwenda.
6Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.
7Sipendi kupita kwenu harakaharaka na kuendelea na safari. Natumaini kukaa kwenu kwa kitambo fulani, Bwana akiniruhusu.
7For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
8Lakini nitabaki hapa Efeso mpaka siku ya Pentekoste.
8But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,
9Mlango uko wazi kabisa kwa ajili ya kazi yangu muhimu hapa, ingawa wapinzani nao ni wengi.
9because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me.
10Timotheo akija, angalieni asiwe na hofu yoyote wakati yupo kati yenu, kwani anafanya kazi ya Bwana kama mimi.
10If Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I am.
11Kwa hiyo mtu yeyote asimdharau, ila msaidieni aendelee na safari yake kwa amani ili aweze kurudi kwangu, maana mimi namngojea pamoja na ndugu zetu.
11No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he can return to me, for I am expecting him along with the brothers.
12Kuhusu ndugu Apolo, nimemsihi sana aje kwenu pamoja na ndugu wengine, lakini hapendelei kabisa kuja sasa ila atakuja mara itakapowezekana.
12Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was not at all inclined to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.
13Kesheni, simameni imara katika imani, muwe hodari na wenye nguvu.
13Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Be men of courage. Be strong.
14Kila mfanyacho kifanyike kwa upendo.
14Do everything in love.
15Ndugu, mnaifahamu jamaa ya Stefana; wao ni watu wa kwanza kabisa kuipokea imani ya Kikristo katika Akaya, na wamejitolea kuwatumikia watu wa Mungu. Ninawasihi ninyi ndugu zangu,
15You know that Stephanas and his household were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints. Now I urge you, brothers,
16muufuate uongozi wa watu kama hao, na uongozi wa kila mtu afanyaye kazi na kutumikia pamoja nao.
16to submit to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.
17Nafurahi sana kwamba Stefana, Fortunato na Akaiko wamefika; wamelijaza pengo lililokuwako kwa kutokuwako kwenu.
17I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.
18Wameiburudisha roho yangu na yenu pia. Kwa hiyo inafaa kuwakumbuka watu wa namna hii.
18For they refreshed my spirit and yours as well. Show your appreciation, therefore, to such men.
19Makanisa yote ya Asia yanawasalimuni. Akula na Priskila pamoja na watu wote wa Mungu walio nyumbani mwao wanawasalimuni sana katika Bwana.
19The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.
20Ndugu wote wanawasalimuni. Nanyi salimianeni kwa ishara ya mapendo ya Mungu.
20All the brothers here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21Mimi Paulo nawasalimuni, nikiandika kwa mkono wangu mwenyewe.
21This greeting is in my own hand—Paul.
22Yeyote asiyempenda Bwana, na alaaniwe. MARANA THA—BWANA, njoo!
22If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be under a curse. Come, O Lord!
23Neema ya Bwana Yesu iwe nanyi.
23The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
24Mapendo yangu yawe kwenu katika kuungana na Kristo Yesu.
24My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
