Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Sisi tulio imara katika imani tunapaswa kuwasaidia wale walio dhaifu wayakabili matatizo yao. Tusijipendelee sisi wenyewe tu.
1Now we that are stronger, ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2Kila mmoja wetu anapaswa kumpendeza jirani yake kwa wema ili huyo apate kujijenga katika imani.
2Let every one of you please his neighbour unto good, to edification.
3Maana Kristo hakujipendelea mwenyewe; ila alikuwa kama yasemavyo Maandiko: “Kashfa zote walizokutolea wewe zimenipata mimi.”
3For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written: The reproaches of them that reproached thee, fell upon me.
4Maana yote yalioandikwa yameandikwa kwa ajili ya kutufundisha sisi ili kutokana na saburi na faraja tupewayo na Maandiko hayo Matakatifu tupate kuwa na matumaini.
4For what things soever were written, were written for our learning: that through patience and the comfort of the scriptures, we might have hope.
5Mungu aliye msingi wa saburi na faraja yote, awajalieni ninyi kuwa na msimamo mmoja kufuatana na mfano wake Kristo Yesu,
5Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of one mind one towards another, according to Jesus Christ:
6ili ninyi nyote, kwa nia moja na sauti moja, mumtukuze Mungu, Baba wa Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo.
6That with one mind, and with one mouth, you may glorify God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7Basi, karibishaneni kwa ajili ya utukufu wa Mungu kama naye Kristo alivyowakaribisheni.
7Wherefore receive one another, as Christ also hath received you unto the honour of God.
8Maana, nawaambieni Kristo aliwatumikia Wayahudi apate kuonyesha uaminifu wa Mungu, na zile ahadi Mungu alizowapa babu zetu zipate kutimia;
8For I say that Christ Jesus was minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers.
9ili nao watu wa mataifa mengine wapate kumtukuza Mungu kwa sababu ya huruma yake. Kama yasemavyo Maandiko Matakatifu: “Kwa sababu hiyo, nitakusifu miongoni mwa watu wa mataifa. Nitaziimba sifa za jina lako.”
9But that the Gentiles are to glorify God for his mercy, as it is written: Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and will sing to thy name.
10Tena Maandiko yasema: “Furahini, enyi watu wa mataifa; furahini pamoja na watu wake.”
10And again he saith: Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
11Na tena: “Enyi mataifa yote, msifuni Bwana; enyi watu wote, msifuni.”
11And again: Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and magnify him, all ye people.
12Tena Isaya asema: “Atatokea mtu katika ukoo wa Yese, naye atawatawala watu wa mataifa; nao watamtumainia.”
12And again Isaias saith: There shall be a root of Jesse; and he that shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, in him the Gentiles shall hope.
13Basi, Mungu aliye msingi wa matumaini, awajazeni furaha yote na amani kutokana na imani yenu; tumaini lenu lipate kuongezeka kwa nguvu ya Roho Mtakatifu.
13Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing; that you may abound in hope, and in the power of the Holy Ghost.
14Ndugu zangu, mimi binafsi nina hakika kwamba ninyi pia mmejaa wema, elimu yote, na mnaweza kushauriana ninyi kwa ninyi.
14And I myself also, my brethren, am assured of you, that you also are full of love, replenished with all knowledge, so that you are able to admonish one another.
15Lakini nimewaandikia hapa na pale katika barua hii bila woga, nipate kuwakumbusheni juu ya mambo fulani. Nimefanya hivyo kwa sababu ya neema aliyonijalia Mungu
15But I have written to you, brethren, more boldly in some sort, as it were putting you in mind: because of the grace which is given me from God.
16ya kuwa mtumishi wa Yesu Kristo kwa watu wa mataifa. Ni jukumu langu la kikuhani kuihubiri Habari Njema ya Mungu ili watu wa mataifa mengine wapate kuwa dhabihu inayokubaliwa na Mungu, dhabihu iliyotakaswa na Roho Mtakatifu.
16That I should be the minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles; sanctifying the gospel of God, that the oblation of the Gentiles may be made acceptable and sanctified in the Holy Ghost.
17Kwa hiyo, nikiwa nimeungana na Kristo Yesu, naweza kujivunia huduma yangu kwa ajili ya Mungu.
17I have therefore glory in Christ Jesus towards God.
18Sithubutu kusema kitu kingine chochote isipokuwa tu kile ambacho Kristo Yesu amekifanya kwa kunitumia mimi ili watu wa mataifa wapate kutii. Amefanya hivyo kwa maneno na vitendo,
18For I dare not to speak of any of those things which Christ worketh not by me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
19kwa nguvu ya miujiza na maajabu, na kwa nguvu ya Roho wa Mungu. Basi, kwa kusafiri kila mahali, tangu kule Yerusalemu mpaka Iluriko, nimeihubiri kikamilifu Habari Njema ya Kristo.
19By the virtue of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Ghost, so that from Jerusalem round about as far as unto Illyricum, I have replenished the gospel of Christ.
20Nia yangu imekuwa daima kuihubiri Habari Njema popote pale ambapo jina la Kristo halijapata kusikika, nisije nikajenga juu ya msingi wa mtu mwingine.
20And I have so preached this gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation.
21Kama yasemavyo Maandiko Matakatifu: “Watu wote ambao hawakuambiwa habari zote wataona; nao wale ambao hawajapata kusikia, wataelewa.”
21But as it is written: They to whom he was not spoken of, shall see, and they that have not heard shall understand.
22Kwa sababu hiyo nilizuiwa mara nyingi kuja kwenu.
22For which cause also I was hindered very much from coming to you, and have been kept away till now.
23Lakini maadam sasa nimemaliza kazi yangu pande hizi, na kwa kuwa kwa miaka mingi nimekuwa na nia kubwa ya kuja kwenu,
23But now having no more place in these countries, and having a great desire these many years past to come unto you,
24natumaini kufanya hivyo sasa. Ningependa kuwaoneni nikiwa safarini kwenda Spania na kupata msaada wenu kwa safari hiyo baada ya kufurahia kuwa kwa muda pamoja nanyi.
24When I shall begin to take my journey into Spain, I hope that as I pass, I shall see you, and be brought on my way thither by you, if first, in part, I shall have enjoyed you:
25Lakini, kwa sasa nakwenda kuwahudumia watu wa Mungu kule Yerusalem.
25But now I shall go to Jerusalem, to minister unto the saints.
26Maana makanisa ya Makedonia na Akaya yemeamua kutoka mchango wao kuwasaidia watu wa Mungu walio maskini huko Yerusalem.
26For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a contribution for the poor of the saints that are in Jerusalem.
27Wao wenyewe wameamua kufanya hivyo; lakini, kwa kweli, hilo ni jukumu lao kwa hao. Maana, ikiwa watu wa mataifa mengine wameshiriki baraka za kiroho za Wayahudi, wanapaswa nao pia kuwahudumia Wayahudi katika mahitaji yao ya kidunia.
27For it hath pleased them; and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they ought also in carnal things to minister to them.
28Nitakapokwisha tekeleza kazi hiyo na kuwakabidhi mchango huo uliokusanywa kwa ajili yao, nitawatembeleeni ninyi nikiwa safarini kwenda Spania.
28When therefore I shall have accomplished this, and consigned to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
29Najua ya kuwa nikija kwenu nitawaletea wingi wa baraka za Kristo.
29And I know, that when I come to you, I shall come in the abundance of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
30Basi, ndugu zangu, nawasihi kwa kwa ajili ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo, na kwa ajili ya upendo uletwao na Roho, mniunge mkono kwa kuniombea kwa Mungu.
30I beseech you therefore, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the charity of the Holy Ghost, that you help me in your prayers for me to God,
31Ombeni nipate kutoka salama miongoni mwa wale wasioamini walioko Uyahudi, nayo huduma yangu huko Yerusalem ipate kukubaliwa na watu wa Mungu walioko huko.
31That I may be delivered from the unbelievers that are in Judea, and that the oblation of my service may be acceptable in Jerusalem to the saints.
32Hivyo, Mungu akipenda, nitaweza kuja kwenu na moyo wa furaha, nikapumzike pamoja nanyi.
32That I may come to you with joy, by the will of God, and may be refreshed with you.
33Mungu aliye chanzo cha amani na awe nanyi nyote! Amina!
33Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
