1 Wakorintho 16
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Sasa, yahusu ule mchango kwa ajili ya watu wa Mungu: fanyeni kama nilivyoyaagiza makanisa ya Galatia.
1Now concerning the collections that are made for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, so do ye also.
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 the week let every one of you put apart with himself, laying up what it shall well please him; that when I come, the collections be not then to be made.
3Wakati nitakapokuja kwenu, nitawatuma wale mtakaowachagua miongoni mwenu wapeleke barua na zawadi zenu Yerusalemu.
3And when I shall be with you, whomsoever you shall approve by letters, them will I send to carry your grace to Jerusalem.
4Kama itafaa nami niende, basi, watakwenda pamoja nami.
4And if it be meet that I also go, they shall go with me.
5Nitakuja kwenu, baada ya kupitia Makedonia—maana nataraji kupitia Makedonia.
5Now I will come to you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia. For I shall pass 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.
6And with you perhaps I shall abide, or even spend the winter: that you may bring me on my way whithersoever I shall go.
7Sipendi kupita kwenu harakaharaka na kuendelea na safari. Natumaini kukaa kwenu kwa kitambo fulani, Bwana akiniruhusu.
7For I will not see you now by the way, for I trust that I shall abide with you some time, if the Lord permit.
8Lakini nitabaki hapa Efeso mpaka siku ya Pentekoste.
8But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
9Mlango uko wazi kabisa kwa ajili ya kazi yangu muhimu hapa, ingawa wapinzani nao ni wengi.
9For a great door and evident is opened unto me: and many adversaries.
10Timotheo akija, angalieni asiwe na hofu yoyote wakati yupo kati yenu, kwani anafanya kazi ya Bwana kama mimi.
10Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear, for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.
11Kwa hiyo mtu yeyote asimdharau, ila msaidieni aendelee na safari yake kwa amani ili aweze kurudi kwangu, maana mimi namngojea pamoja na ndugu zetu.
11Let no man therefore despise him, but conduct ye him on his way in peace: that he may come to me. For I look for him with the brethren.
12Kuhusu ndugu Apolo, nimemsihi sana aje kwenu pamoja na ndugu wengine, lakini hapendelei kabisa kuja sasa ila atakuja mara itakapowezekana.
12And touching our brother Apollo, I give you to understand, that I much entreated him to come unto you with the brethren: and indeed it was not his will at all to come at this time. But he will come when he shall have leisure.
13Kesheni, simameni imara katika imani, muwe hodari na wenye nguvu.
13Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, do manfully, and be strengthened.
14Kila mfanyacho kifanyike kwa upendo.
14Let all your things be done in charity.
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,
15And I beseech you, brethren, you know the house of Stephanas, and of Fortunatus, and of Achaicus, that they are the firstfruits of Achaia, and have dedicated themselves to the ministry of the saints:
16muufuate uongozi wa watu kama hao, na uongozi wa kila mtu afanyaye kazi na kutumikia pamoja nao.
16That you also be subject to such, and to every one that worketh with us, and laboureth.
17Nafurahi sana kwamba Stefana, Fortunato na Akaiko wamefika; wamelijaza pengo lililokuwako kwa kutokuwako kwenu.
17And I rejoice in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because that which was wanting on your part, they have supplied.
18Wameiburudisha roho yangu na yenu pia. Kwa hiyo inafaa kuwakumbuka watu wa namna hii.
18For they have refreshed both my spirit and yours. Know them, therefore, that are such.
19Makanisa yote ya Asia yanawasalimuni. Akula na Priskila pamoja na watu wote wa Mungu walio nyumbani mwao wanawasalimuni sana katika Bwana.
19The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house, with whom I also lodge.
20Ndugu wote wanawasalimuni. Nanyi salimianeni kwa ishara ya mapendo ya Mungu.
20All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.
21Mimi Paulo nawasalimuni, nikiandika kwa mkono wangu mwenyewe.
21The salutation of me Paul, with my own hand.
22Yeyote asiyempenda Bwana, na alaaniwe. MARANA THA—BWANA, njoo!
22If any man love not our Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema, maranatha.
23Neema ya Bwana Yesu iwe nanyi.
23The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24Mapendo yangu yawe kwenu katika kuungana na Kristo Yesu.
24My charity be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
