Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Sasa, kwa vile tumekubaliwa kuwa wadilifu kwa imani, basi, tunayo amani na Mungu kwa ajili ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo.
1Being justified therefore by faith, let us have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2Kwa imani yetu, yeye ametuleta katika hali hii ya neema ya Mungu ambamo sasa tunaishi. Basi, tunajivunia tumaini tulilo nalo la kushiriki utukufu wa Mungu.
2By whom also we have access through faith into this grace, wherein we stand, and glory in the hope of the glory of the sons of God.
3Naam, si hayo tu, bali tunafurahi pia katika taabu tukijua kwamba taabu huleta saburi,
3And not only so; but we glory also in tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4nayo saburi huleta uthabiti, na uthabiti huleta tumaini.
4And patience trial; and trial hope;
5Tumaini hilo haliwezi kutuhadaa, maana Mungu amekwisha miminia mioyoni mwetu upendo wake kwa njia ya Roho Mtakatifu aliyetujalia.
5And hope confoundeth not: because the charity of God is poured forth in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost, who is given to us.
6Tulipokuwa bado wanyonge, Kristo, wakati ulipotimia, alikufa kwa ajili yetu sisi waovu.
6For why did Christ, when as yet we were weak, according to the time, die for the ungodly?
7Si rahisi mtu kufa kwa ajili ya mtu mwadilifu; labda mtu anaweza kuthubutu kufa kwa ajili ya mtu mwema.
7For scarce for a just man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man some one would dare to die.
8Lakini Mungu amethibitisha kwamba anatupenda, maana wakati tulipokuwa bado wenye dhambi, Kristo alikufa kwa ajili yetu.
8But God commendeth his charity towards us; because when as yet we were sinners, according to the time,
9Kwa kuwa sasa tumekubaliwa kuwa waadilifu kwa damu ya Kristo, ni dhahiri zaidi kwamba atatuokoa katika ghadhabu ya Mungu.
9Christ died for us; much more therefore, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him.
10Maana, tulipokuwa bado adui zake, Mungu alitupatanisha naye kwa kifo cha Mwanae. Na kwa vile sasa tumepatanishwa naye, ni dhahiri zaidi kwamba tutaokolewa kwa uzima wa Kristo.
10For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
11Wala si hayo tu, ila tunafurahi pia katika Mungu kwa njia ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo ambaye ametupatanisha na Mungu.
11And not only so; but also we glory in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation.
12Kwa njia ya mtu mmoja dhambi iliingia ulimwenguni, nayo ikasababisha kifo. Hivyo kifo kimeenea katika jumuiya yote ya binadamu, kwa maana wote wametenda dhambi.
12Wherefore as by one man sin entered into this world, and by sin death; and so death passed upon all men, in whom all have sinned.
13Kabla ya Sheria kuwako, dhambi ilikuwako ulimwenguni; lakini dhambi haiwekwi katika kumbukumbu bila sheria.
13For until the law sin was in the world; but sin was not imputed, when the law was not.
14Lakini tangu wakati wa Adamu mpaka wakati wa Mose, kifo kiliwatawala hata wale ambao hawakutenda dhambi kama ile ya Adamu, ya kumwasi Mungu. Adamu alikuwa kielelezo cha yule ambaye atakuja baadaye.
14But death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even over them also who have not sinned after the similitude of the transgression of Adam, who is a figure of him who was to come.
15Lakini ipo tofauti: neema ya Mungu si kama dhambi ya Adamu. Maana, ingawa dhambi ya mtu mmoja ilisababisha kifo kwa wote, kwa fadhili ya mtu mmoja, yaani Yesu Kristo, Mungu amewazidishia wote neema na zawadi zake.
15But not as the offence, so also the gift. For if by the offence of one, many died; much more the grace of God, and the gift, by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16Kuna tofauti baina ya zawadi ya Mungu, na dhambi ya mtu yule mmoja. Maana, baada ya kosa la mtu mmoja, Mungu alitoa hukumu; lakini baada ya makosa ya watu wengi, Mungu aliwapa zawadi yake kwa kuwasamehe.
16And not as it was by one sin, so also is the gift. For judgment indeed was by one unto condemnation; but grace is of many offences, unto justification.
17Kweli, kwa dhambi ya mtu mmoja kifo kilianza kutawala kwa sababu ya huyo mtu mmoja; lakini, ni dhahiri zaidi kwamba alichokifanya yule mtu mmoja, yaani Yesu Kristo, ni bora zaidi. Wote wanaopokea neema na zawadi hiyo ya kukubaliwa kuwa waadilifu, watatawala katika uzima kwa njia ya huyo mmoja, yaani Yesu Kristo.
17For if by one man’s offence death reigned through one; much more they who receive abundance of grace, and of the gift, and of justice, shall reign in life through one, Jesus Christ.
18Basi, kama vile kosa la mtu mmoja lilivyoleta hukumu kwa binadamu wote, kadhalika kitendo kimoja kiadilifu kinawapa uhuru na uzima.
18Therefore, as by the offence of one, unto all men to condemnation; so also by the justice of one, unto all men to justification of life.
19Na kama kwa kutotii kwa mtu mmoja watu wengi walifanywa wenye dhambi, kadhalika kutii kwa mtu mmoja kutawafanya wengi wakubaliwe kuwa waadilifu.
19For as by the disobedience of one man, many were made sinners; so also by the obedience of one, many shall be made just.
20Sheria ilitokea, ikasababisha kuongezeka kwa uhalifu; lakini pale dhambi ilipoongezeka, neema iliongezeka zaidi.
20Now the law entered in, that sin might abound. And where sin abounded, grace did more abound.
21Kama vile dhambi ilivyotawala kwa kifo, kadhalika neema inatawala kwa njia ya uadilifu, na kuleta uzima wa milele kwa njia ya Yesu Kristo Bwana wetu.
21That as sin hath reigned to death; so also grace might reign by justice unto life everlasting, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
