1 Timotheo 4
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1Roho asema waziwazi kwamba siku za baadaye watu wengine wataitupilia mbali imani; watazitii roho danganyifu na kufuata mafundisho ya pepo.
1Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons,
2Mafundisho ya namna hiyo yanaenezwa na watu waongo wadanganyifu, ambao dhamiri zao ziko kama zimechomwa kwa chuma cha moto.
2influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.
3Watu hao hufundisha kwamba ni makosa kuona na pia kula vyakula fulani. Lakini Mungu aliviumba vyakula hivyo, ili wale walio waumini na ambao wanapata kuujua ukweli, wavitumie kwa shukrani.
3They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
4Kila kitu alichoumba Mungu ni chema, wala hakuna kinachohitaji kukataliwa, bali vyote vipokelewe kwa sala ya shukrani,
4For every creation of God is good, and nothing that is received with thanksgiving should be rejected,
5kwa sababu neno la Mungu na sala hukifanya kitu hicho kikubalike kwa Mungu.
5because it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
6Kama ukiwapa ndugu wote maagizo haya, utakuwa mtumishi mwema wa Kristo Yesu, ukijiendeleza kiroho kwa maneno ya imani na mafundisho ya kweli, ambayo wewe umeyafuata.
6By pointing out these things to the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of faith and sound instruction that you have followed.
7Lakini achana na hadithi zile zisizo za kidini na ambazo hazina maana. Jizoeshe kuishi maisha ya uchaji wa Mungu.
7But reject irreverent, silly myths. Instead, train yourself for godliness.
8Mazoezi ya mwili yana faida yake, lakini mazoezi ya kiroho yana faida za kila namna, maana yanatuahidia uzima katika maisha ya sasa, na pia hayo yanayokuja.
8For physical exercise is of limited value, but godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for the present life and for the one to come.
9Usemi huo ni wa kusadikika kabisa na unastahili kukubaliwa.
9This is a trustworthy saying, worthy of full acceptance.
10Sisi tunajitahidi na kufanya kazi kwa bidii kwani tumemwekea tumaini letu Mungu aliye hai ambaye ni Mwokozi wa watu wote, na hasa wale wanaoamini.
10To this end we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of everyone, and especially of those who believe.
11Wape maagizo hayo na mafundisho hayo.
11Command and teach these things.
12Usikubali mtu yeyote akudharau kwa sababu wewe ni kijana, lakini jitahidi uwe mfano kwa wanaoamini: katika usemi wako, mwenendo wako, upendo, imani na maisha safi.
12Let no one despise your youth, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
13Tumia wakati wako na juhudi yako katika kusoma hadharani Maandiko Matakatifu, kuhubiri na kufundisha, mpaka nitakapokuja.
13Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, and to teaching.
14Usiache kukitumia kile kipaji cha Kristo ndani yako ulichopewa kwa maneno ya manabii na kwa kuwekewa mikono na wazee.
14Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given you through the prophecy spoken over you at the laying on of the hands of the elders.
15Fikiri kwa makini juu ya hayo yote na kuyatekeleza kusudi maendeleo yako yaonekane na wote.
15Be diligent in these matters and absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all.
16Angalia sana mambo yako mwenyewe, na mafundisho yako. Endelea kufanya hayo maana ukifanya hivyo utajiokoa mwenyewe na wale wanaokusikiliza.
16Pay close attention to your life and to your teaching. Persevere in these things, for by so doing you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
