Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1Kwa hiyo, sasa hakuna hukumu kwa wale ambao katika maisha yao wameungana na Kristo.
1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
2Maana, sheria ya Roho iletayo uzima kwa kuungana na Kristo Yesu imenikomboa kutoka katika sheria ya dhambi na kifo.
2For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death.
3Mungu ametekeleza jambo lile ambalo Sheria haikuweza kutekeleza kwa sababu ya udhaifu w binadamu. Mungu alimtuma Mwanae akiwa mwenye mwili sawa na miili yetu sisi wenye dhambi, ili aikabili dhambi, na kwa mwili huo akaiangamiza dhambi.
3For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh,
4Mungu alifanya hivyo kusudi matakwa ya haki ya Sheria yatekelezwe kikamilifu ndani yetu sisi ambao tunaishi, si kwa nguvu za kibinadamu, bali kwa nguvu ya Roho.
4so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5Maana, wale wanaoishi kufuatana na matakwa ya mwili, hutawaliwa na fikira za mwili. Lakini wale wanaoishi kufuatana na matakwa ya Roho Mtakatifu, hutawaliwa na fikira za Roho.
5Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.
6Fikira za mwili huleta kifo; fikira za Roho huleta uzima na amani.
6The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace,
7Maana, mwenye kutawaliwa na fikira za mwili ni adui wa Mungu; haitii sheria ya Mungu, wala hawezi kuitii.
7because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.
8Watu wanaotii matakwa ya mwili hawawezi kumpendeza Mungu.
8Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God.
9Lakini ninyi hamuishi kufuatana na matakwa ya mwili, bali kufuatana na matakwa ya Roho, ikiwa Roho wa Mungu anaishi ndani yenu. Yeyote asiye na Roho wa Kristo, huyo si wake Kristo.
9You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
10Lakini kama Kristo yumo ndani yenu, ingawa miili yenu itakufa kwa sababu ya dhambi, kwenu Roho ndiye uhai kwa sababu mmekubaliwa kuwa waadilifu.
10But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.
11Ikiwa Roho wa Mungu aliyemfufua Kristo kutoka wafu anaishi ndani yenu, basi huyo aliyemfufua Kristo kutoka wafu ataipa uzima miili yenu yenye hali ya kufa; atafanya hivyo kwa njia ya Roho wake akaaye ndani yenu.
11And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.
12Hivyo basi, ndugu zangu, tunalo jukumu, lakini si la kuishi kufuatana na maumbile ya kibinadamu.
12Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation, but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.
13Kwa maana, kama mkiishi kufuatana na matakwa ya maumbile ya kibinadamu, hakika mtakufa. Lakini, kama kwa njia ya Roho mnayaua matendo yenu maovu, basi, mtaishi.
13For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14Wote wanaoongozwa na Roho wa Mungu ni watoto wa Mungu.
14For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
15Kwa maana, Roho mliyempokea si Roho mwenye kuwafanya ninyi watumwa na kuwatia tena hofu; sivyo, bali mmempokea Roho mwenye kuwafanya ninyi watoto wa Mungu, na kwa nguvu ya huyo Roho, sisi tunaweza kumwita Mungu, “Aba,” yaani “Baba!”
15For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
16Naye Roho mwenyewe anajiunga na roho zetu na kuthibitisha kwamba sisi ni watoto wa Mungu.
16The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
17Basi, kwa vile sisi ni watoto wa Mungu, tutapokea baraka zote Mungu alizowawekea watu wake, na tutashiriki urithi huo pamoja na Kristo; maana, tukiyashiriki mateso yake Kristo, tutaushiriki pia utukufu wake.
17And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.
18Naona kuwa mateso ya wakati huu wa sasa si kitu kamwe kama tukiyafananisha na ule utukufu utakaodhihirishwa kwetu.
18I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us.
19Viumbe vyote vinatazamia kwa hamu Mungu awadhihirishe watoto wake.
19The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God.
20Kwa maana, viumbe viliwekwa katika hali ya kutojiweza kabisa, si kwa hiari yao, ila vilifanywa hivyo kwa mapenzi ya Mungu. Hata hivyo yapo matumaini,
20For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope
21maana hivyo viumbe navyo vitaokolewa kutoka katika utumwa wa uharibifu, vishiriki uhuru mtukufu wa watoto wa Mungu.
21that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
22Kwa maana tunajua kwamba mpaka hivi sasa, viumbe vyote vinalia kwa maumivu kama ya kujifungua mtoto.
22We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time.
23Wala si hivyo viumbe peke yake, bali hata sisi tulio na huyo Roho, aliye wa kwanza wa zawadi za Mungu; sisi pia tunalalamika ndani yetu, tukitazamia kufanywa watoto wa Mungu, nazo nafsi zenu zikombolewe.
23Not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
24Maana kwa matumaini hayo sisi tumekombolewa; lakini tumaini halina maana ikiwa tunakiona kile tunachotumainia. Maana ni nani anayetumaini kile ambacho tayari anakiona?
24For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see?
25Kama tunakitumaini kile ambacho hatujakiona bado, basi, tunakingojea kwa uvumilivu.
25But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently.
26Hali kadhalika, naye Roho anatusaidia katika udhaifu wetu. Maana hatujui inavyotupasa kuomba; lakini Roho mwenyewe anatuombea kwa Mungu kwa mlio wa huzuni usioelezeka.
26In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words.
27Naye Mungu aonaye mpaka ndani ya mioyo ya watu, anajua fikira ya huyo Roho; kwani huyo Roho huwaombea watu wa Mungu kufuatana na mapenzi ya Mungu.
27And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
28Tunajua kwamba, katika mambo yote, Mungu hufanya kazi na kuifanikisha pamoja na wote wampendao, yaani wale aliowaita kufuatana na kusudi lake.
28And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.
29Maana hao aliowachagua tangu mwanzo, ndio aliowateua wapate kufanana na Mwanae, ili Mwana awe wa kwanza miongoni mwa ndugu wengi.
29For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.
30Basi, Mungu aliwaita wale aliokuwa amewateua; na hao aliowaita aliwakubali kuwa waadilifu; na hao aliowakubali kuwa waadilifu aliwashirikisha pia utukufu wake.
30And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.
31Kutokana na hayo, tuseme nini zaidi? Ikiwa Mungu yuko upande wetu, nani awezaye kutupinga?
31What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32Mungu hakumhurumia hata mwanae wa pekee, bali alimtoa kwa ajili yetu sisi sote. Ikiwa amefanya hivyo, je, hatatujalia pia mema yote?
32He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things?
33Ni nani atakayewashtaki wateule wa Mungu? Mungu mwenyewe huwaondolea hatia!
33Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
34Ni nani atakayewahukumu? Hakuna! Maana Kristo ndiye aliyekufa, tena alifufuka kutoka wafu na anakaa upande wa kulia wa Mungu. Yeye anatuombea!
34Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God—and He is interceding for us.
35Ni nani awezaye kututenga na mapendo ya Kristo? Je, ni taabu, au dhiki, au mateso, au njaa, au ukosefu wa nguo, au hatari, au kuuawa?
35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
36Kama Maandiko Matakatifu yasemavyo: “Kwa ajili yako, twakikabili kifo kutwa kucha: tunatendewa kama kondoo wa kuchinjwa.”
36As it is written: “For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37Lakini, katika mambo haya yote, tumepata ushindi mkubwa kwa msaada wake yeye aliyetupenda.
37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
38Maana ninajua hakika kwamba hakuna kitu kiwezacho kututenganisha na upendo wake: wala kifo, wala uhai; wala malaika, au nguvu nyingine za mbinguni; wala yanayotokea sasa, wala yatakayotokea baadaye; wala mamlaka;
38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
39Wala ulimwengu wa juu, wala wa chini kabisa. Hakuna kiumbe chochote kitakachoweza kututenga na upendo wa Mungu kwetu kwa njia ya Kristo Yesu Bwana wetu.
39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
