Ufunuo 3
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Greek New Testament: 1904 Patriarchal Text (Byzantine)
1“Kwa malaika wa kanisa la Sarde andika hivi: “Huu ndio ujumbe kutoka kwake yeye aliye na roho saba za Mungu na nyota saba. Nayajua mambo yako yote; najua unajulikana kuwa na uhai kumbe umekufa!
1Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Σάρδεσιν ἐκκλησίας γράψον· τάδε λέγει ὁ ἔχων τὰ ἑπτὰ πνεύματα τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἀστέρας· οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα, ὅτι ὄνομα ἔχεις ὅτι ζῇς, καὶ νεκρὸς εἶ.
2Amka! Imarisha chochote chema kilichokubakia kabla nacho hakijatoweka kabisa. Maana, mpaka sasa, sijayaona matendo yako kuwa ni makamilifu mbele ya Mungu wangu.
2γίνου γρηγορῶν, καὶ στήρισον τὰ λοιπὰ ἃ ἔμελλον ἀποθνήσκειν· οὐ γὰρ εὕρηκά σου τὰ ἔργα πεπληρωμένα ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ μου.
3Kumbuka, basi, yale uliyofundishwa na jinsi ulivyoyasikia, uyatii na ubadili nia yako mbaya. Usipokesha nitakujia ghafla kama mwizi, na wala hutaijua saa nitakapokujia.
3μνημόνευε οὖν πῶς εἴληφας [καὶ ἤκουσας, καὶ τήρει] καὶ μετανόησον. ἐὰν οὖν μὴ γρηγορήσῃς, ἥξω [ἐπὶ σὲ] ὡς κλέπτης, καὶ οὐ μὴ γνώσῃ ποίαν ὥραν ἥξω ἐπὶ σέ.
4Lakini wako wachache huko Sarde ambao hawakuyachafua mavazi yao. Hao wanastahili kutembea pamoja nami wakiwa wamevaa mavazi meupe.
4ἀλλὰ ἔχεις ὀλίγα ὀνόματα ἐν Σάρδεσιν, ἃ οὐκ ἐμόλυναν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν, καὶ περιπατήσουσι μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἐν λευκοῖς, ὅτι ἄξιοί εἰσιν.
5“Wale wanaoshinda, watavikwa mavazi meupe kama hao. Nami sitayafuta majina yao kutoka katika kitabu cha uzima; tena nitawakiri kwamba ni wangu mbele ya Baba yangu na mbele ya malaika wake.
5Ὁ νικῶν οὕτως περιβαλεῖται ἐν ἱματίοις λευκοῖς, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξαλείψω τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς βίβλου τῆς ζωῆς, καὶ ὁμολογήσω τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ.
6“Aliye na masikio, basi, na ayasikie yale Roho anayoyaambia makanisa!
6Ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ Πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις.
7“Kwa malaika wa kanisa la Filadelfia andika hivi: “Huu ndio ujumbe kutoka kwake yeye aliye mtakatifu na wa kweli, ambaye anao ule ufunguo wa Daudi, na ambaye hufungua na hakuna mtu awezaye kufungua.
7Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Φιλαδελφείᾳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον· τάδε λέγει ὁ ἅγιος, ὁ ἀληθινός, ὁ ἔχων τὴν κλεῖν τοῦ Δαυΐδ, ὁ ἀνοίγων καὶ οὐδεὶς κλείσει, καὶ κλείων καὶ οὐδεὶς ἀνοίξει·
8Nayajua mambo yako yote! Sasa, nimefungua mbele yako mlango ambao hakuna mtu awezaye kuufunga; najua kwamba ingawa huna nguvu sana, hata hivyo, umezishika amri zangu, umelitii neno langu wala hukulikana jina langu.
8οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα· — ἰδοὺ δέδωκα ἐνώπιόν σου θύραν ἀνεῳγμένην, ἣν οὐδεὶς δύναται κλεῖσαι αὐτήν· — ὅτι μικρὰν ἔχεις δύναμιν, καὶ ἐτήρησάς μου τὸν λόγον καὶ οὐκ ἠρνήσω τὸ ὄνομά μου.
9Sikiliza! Nitawapeleka kwako watu wa kundi lake Shetani, watu ambao hujisema kuwa ni Wayahudi, kumbe ni wadanganyifu. Naam, nitawapeleka kwako na kuwafanya wapige magoti mbele yako wapate kujua kwamba kweli nakupenda wewe.
9ἰδοὺ δίδωμι ἐκ τῆς συναγωγῆς τοῦ σατανᾶ τῶν λεγόντων ἑαυτοὺς Ἰουδαίους εἶναι, καὶ οὐκ εἰσίν, ἀλλὰ ψεύδονται· ἰδοὺ ποιήσω αὐτοὺς ἵνα ἥξουσι καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν ἐνώπιον τῶν ποδῶν σου, καὶ γνῶσιν ὅτι [ἐγὼ] ἠγάπησά σε.
10Kwa kuwa wewe umezingatia agizo langu la kuwa na uvumilivu, nami pia nitakutegemeza salama wakati ule wa dhiki inayoujia ulimwengu mzima kuwajaribu wote wanaoishi duniani.
10ὅτι ἐτήρησας τὸν λόγον τῆς ὑπομονῆς μου, κἀγώ σε τηρήσω ἐκ τῆς ὥρας τοῦ πειρασμοῦ τῆς μελλούσης ἔρχεσθαι ἐπὶ τῆς οἰκουμένης ὅλης, πειράσαι τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
11Naja kwako upesi! Linda, basi, ulicho nacho sasa, ili usije ukanyang'anywa na mtu yeyote taji yako ya ushindi.
11ἔρχομαι ταχύ· κράτει ὃ ἔχεις, ἵνα μηδεὶς λάβῃ τὸν στέφανόν σου.
12“Wale wanaoshinda nitawafanya wawe minara katika Hekalu la Mungu wangu, na hawatatoka humo kamwe. Pia nitaandika juu yao jina la Mungu wangu na jina la mji wa Mungu wangu, yaani Yerusalemu mpya, mji ambao utashuka kutoka juu mbinguni kwa Mungu wangu. Tena nitaandika juu yao jina langu jipya.
12Ὁ νικῶν, ποιήσω αὐτὸν στῦλον ἐν τῷ ναῷ τοῦ Θεοῦ μου, καὶ ἔξω οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθῃ ἔτι, καὶ γράψω ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ μου καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς πόλεως τοῦ Θεοῦ μου, τῆς καινῆς Ἱερουσαλήμ, ἣ καταβαίνει ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ μου, καὶ τὸ ὄνομά μου τὸ καινόν.
13“Aliye na masikio, basi, na ayasikie yale Roho anayoyaambia makanisa!
13Ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ Πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις.
14“Kwa malaika wa kanisa la Laodikea andika hivi: “Huu ndio ujumbe kutoka kwake yeye aitwaye Amina. Yeye ni shahidi mwaminifu na wa kweli, ambaye ni chanzo cha viumbe vyote alivyoumba Mungu.
14Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Λαοδικείᾳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον· τάδε λέγει ὁ ἀμήν, ὁ μάρτυς ὁ πιστὸς καὶ ἀληθινός, ἡ ἀρχὴ τῆς κτίσεως τοῦ Θεοῦ·
15Nayajua mambo yako yote! Najua kwamba wewe si baridi wala si moto. Afadhali ungekuwa kimojawapo: baridi au moto.
15οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα, ὅτι οὔτε ψυχρὸς εἶ οὔτε ζεστός· ὄφελον ψυχρὸς ἦς ἢ ζεστός·
16Basi, kwa kuwa hali yako ni vuguvugu, si baridi wala si moto, nitakutapika!
16οὕτως ὅτι χλιαρὸς εἶ, καὶ οὔτε ζεστὸς οὔτε ψυχρός, μέλλω σε ἐμέσαι ἐκ τοῦ στόματός μου.
17Wewe unajisema, Mimi ni tajiri; ninajitosheleza, sina haja ya kitu chochote. Kumbe, hujui kwamba wewe ni mnyonge, unahitaji kuhurumiwa, maskini, kipofu tena uko uchi!
17ὅτι λέγεις ὅτι πλούσιός εἰμι καὶ πεπλούτηκα καὶ οὐδενὸς χρείαν ἔχω, — καὶ οὐκ οἶδας ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ ταλαίπωρος καὶ [ὁ] ἐλεεινὸς καὶ πτωχὸς καὶ τυφλὸς καὶ γυμνός, —
18Nakushauri ununue kwangu dhahabu iliyosafishwa kwa moto upate kuwa tajiri kweli. Tena afadhali ununue pia vazi jeupe, uvae na kufunika aibu ya uchi wako. Nunua pia mafuta ukapake machoni pako upate kuona.
18συμβουλεύω σοι ἀγοράσαι παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ χρυσίον πεπυρωμένον ἐκ πυρὸς ἵνα πλουτήσῃς, καὶ ἱμάτια λευκὰ ἵνα περιβάλῃ καὶ μὴ φανερωθῇ ἡ αἰσχύνη τῆς γυμνότητός σου, καὶ κολλύριον ἵνα ἐγχρίσῃ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου ἵνα βλέπῃς.
19Mimi ndiye mwenye kumwonya na kumrudi yeyote ninayempenda. Kwa hiyo kaza moyo, achana na dhambi zako.
19ἐγὼ ὅσους ἐὰν φιλῶ, ἐλέγχω καὶ παιδεύω· ζήλευε οὖν καὶ μετανόησον.
20Sikiliza! Mimi nasimama mlangoni na kubisha hodi. Mtu akisikia sauti yangu na kufungua mlango, nitaingia nyumbani kwake na kula chakula pamoja naye, naye atakula pamoja nami.
20ἰδοὺ ἕστηκα ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν καὶ κρούω· ἐάν τις ἀκούσῃ τῆς φωνῆς μου καὶ ἀνοίξῃ τὴν θύραν, καὶ εἰσελεύσομαι πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ δειπνήσω μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ.
21“Wale wanaoshinda nitawaketisha pamoja nami juu ya kiti changu cha enzi, kama vile mimi mwenyewe nilivyoshinda nikaketi pamoja na Baba yangu juu ya kiti chake cha enzi.
21Ὁ νικῶν, δώσω αὐτῷ καθίσαι μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἐν τῷ θρόνῳ μου, ὡς κἀγὼ ἐνίκησα καὶ ἐκάθισα μετὰ τοῦ πατρός μου ἐν τῷ θρόνῳ αὐτοῦ.
22“Aliye na masikio, basi, na ayasikie yale Roho anayoyaambia makanisa!”
22Ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ Πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις.
