Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Napenda kumjulisha kwenu dada yetu Foibe ambaye ni mtumishi katika kanisa la Kenkrea.
1And I commend to you Phebe, our sister, who is in the ministry of the church, that is in Cenchrae:
2Mpokeeni kwa ajili ya Bwana kama iwapasavyo watu wa Mungu. Mpeni msaada wowote atakaohitaji kutoka kwenu, maana yeye amekuwa mwema sana kwa watu wengi na kwangu pia.
2That you receive her in the Lord as becometh saints; and that you assist her in whatsoever business she shall have need of you. For she also hath assisted many, and myself also.
3Salamu zangu ziwafikie Priska na Akula, wafanyakazi wenzangu katika utumishi wa Kristo Yesu.
3Salute Prisca and Aquila, my helpers in Christ Jesus,
4Wao walihatarisha maisha yao kwa ajili yangu. Wanastahili shukrani; si tu kutoka kwangu, bali pia kutoka kwa makanisa yote ya watu wa mataifa mengine.
4(Who have for my life laid down their own necks: to whom not I only give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles,)
5Salamu zangu pia kwa kanisa linalokutana nyumbani kwao. Salamu zangu zimfikie rafiki yangu Epaineto ambaye ni kwa kwanza katika mkoa wa Asia kumwamini Kristo.
5And the church which is in their house. Salute Epenetus, my beloved: who is the firstfruits of Asia in Christ.
6Nisalimieni Maria ambaye amefanya kazi kwa bidii kwa ajili yenu.
6Salute Mary, who hath laboured much among you.
7Salamu zangu kwa Androniko na Yunia, wananchi wenzangu waliofungwa gerezani pamoja nami; wao wanajulikana sana kati ya mitume; tena walikuwa Wakristo kabla yangu mimi.
7Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and fellow prisoners: who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
8Salamu zangu kwa Ampliato, rafiki yangu katika kuungana na Bwana.
8Salute Ampliatus, most beloved to me in the Lord.
9Salamu zangu zimfikie Urbano, mfanyakazi mwenzangu katika utumishi wa Kristo; salamu zangu pia kwa rafiki yangu Staku.
9Salute Urbanus, our helper in Christ Jesus, and Stachys, my beloved.
10Nisalimieni Apele ambaye uaminifu wake kwa Kristo umethibitishwa. Salamu zangu kwa wote walio nyumbani mwa Aristobulo.
10Salute Apelles, approved in Christ.
11Salamu zangu kwa Herodiana, mwananchi mwenzangu; na kwa jamaa yote ya Narkisi iliyojiunga na Bwana.
11Salute them that are of Aristobulus’ household. Salute Herodian, my kinsman. Salute them that are of Narcissus’ household, who are in the Lord.
12Nisalimieni Trufena na Trufosa wanaofanya kazi katika utumishi wa Bwana, na rafiki yangu Persi ambaye amefanya mengi kwa ajili ya Bwana.
12Salute Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute Persis, the dearly beloved, who hath much laboured in the Lord.
13Nisalimieni Rufo, mtu hodari sana katika kazi ya Bwana, na mama yake ambaye ni mama yangu pia.
13Salute Rufus, elect in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
14Nisalimieni Asunkrito, Flegoni, Herme Patroba, Herma na ndugu wote walio pamoja nao.
14Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren that are with them.
15Nisalimieni Filologo na Yulia, Nerea na dada yake, na Olumpa, pamoja na watu wote wa Mungu walio pamoja nao.
15Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympias; and all the saints that are with them.
16Salimianeni ninyi kwa ninyi kwa ishara ya upendo. Salamu kwenu kutoka kwa makanisa yote ya Kristo.
16Salute one another with an holy kiss. All the churches of Christ salute you.
17Ndugu zangu, nawasihi muwafichue wote wanaosababisha mafarakano na kuwafanya watu wengine waanguke, kinyume cha mafundisho mliyofundishwa. Jiepusheni na watu hao,
17Now I beseech you, brethren, to mark them who make dissensions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have learned, and avoid them.
18maana watu wa namna hiyo hawamtumikii Kristo Bwana wetu, bali wanayatumikia matumbo yao wenyewe. Kwa maneno yao matamu na hotuba za kubembeleza hupotosha mioyo ya watu wanyofu.
18For they that are such, serve not Christ our Lord, but their own belly; and by pleasing speeches and good words, seduce the hearts of the innocent.
19Kila mtu amesikia juu ya utii wenu na hivyo mmekuwa sababu ya furaha yangu. Nawatakeni muwe na hekima katika mambo mema, na bila hatia kuhusu mambo mabaya.
19For your obedience is published in every place. I rejoice therefore in you. But I would have you to be wise in good, and simple in evil.
20Naye Mungu aliye chanzo cha amani hatakawia kumponda Shetani chini ya miguu yenu. Neema ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo iwe nanyi.
20And the God of peace crush Satan under your feet speedily. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
21Timotheo, mfanyakazi mwenzangu, anawasalimu. Hali kadhalika Lukio, Yasoni, na Sosipatro, wananchi wenzangu, wanawasalimu.
21Timothy, my fellow labourer, saluteth you, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen.
22Nami Tertio, ninayeandika barua hii nawasalimuni katika Bwana.
22I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.
23Gayo, mwenyeji wangu, pamoja na kanisa lote linalokutana kwake, anawasalimu. Erasto, mweka hazina wa mji huu, pamoja na Kwarto, wanawasalimu.
23Caius, my host, and the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, saluteth you, and Quartus, a brother.
24Neema ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo iwe nanyi nyote. Amina.
24The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
25Basi, sasa na tumsifu Mungu! Yeye anaweza kuwaimarisheni katika ile Habari Njema niliyohubiri juu ya ujumbe wa Yesu Kristo, na katika ile siri iliyofunuliwa na ambayo ilikuwa imefichika kwa karne nyinyi zilizopita.
25Now to him that is able to establish you, according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret from eternity,
26Lakini, sasa ukweli huo umefunuliwa kwa njia ya maandiko ya manabii; na kwa amri ya Mungu wa milele umedhihirisha kwa mataifa yote ili wote waweze kuamini na kutii.
26(Which now is made manifest by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the precept of the eternal God, for the obedience of faith,) known among all nations;
27Kwake Mungu aliye peke yake mwenye hekima, uwe utukufu kwa njia ya Yesu Kristo, milele na milele! Amina.
27To God the only wise, through Jesus Christ, to whom be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
