Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”
1Hii ni mara yangu ya tatu kuja kwenu. “Kila tatizo litatatuliwa kwa ushahidi wa watu wawili au watatu,” yasema Maandiko.
2I have warned previously, and I warn again, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now and to all the rest that if I come again, I will not spare,
2Nilikwisha sema, na kama ilivyokuwa safari ya pili, sasa nasema tena nikiwa mbali: wale wote waliotenda uovu bila kutubu, na pia wale wengine, nitakapokuja, watakiona cha mtema kuni.
3seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me who is not weak, but is powerful in you.
3Mtajionea wenyewe kwamba Kristo anasema ndani yangu. Kwenu Kristo si dhaifu; bali nguvu yake yafanya kazi miongoni mwenu.
4For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.
4Maana hata kama alisulubiwa kwa sababu ya udhaifu, lakini sasa anaishi kwa uwezo wa Mungu. Sisi pia tu dhaifu kwa kuungana naye lakini tutaishi naye kwa uwezo wa Mungu kwa ajili yenu.
5Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.
5Jichunguzeni ninyi wenyewe mpate kujua kama kweli mnayo imani. Jichunguzeni ninyi wenyewe. Je, hamjui kwamba Kristo Yesu yumo ndani yenu? Kama sivyo, basi ninyi mmeshindwa.
6But I hope that you will know that we aren’t disqualified.
6Lakini natumaini kwamba ninyi mnajua kuwa sisi hatukushindwa.
7Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we may seem to have failed.
7Tunamwomba Mungu msifanye uovu wowote, lakini si kusudi tuonekane kama watu waliokwisha faulu, bali mpate kutenda mema, hata kama sisi tunaonekana kuwa tumeshindwa.
8For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
8Maana hatuwezi kuupinga ukweli; uwezo tulio nao ni wa kuuendeleza ukweli.
9For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray for this: your becoming perfect.
9Tunafurahi kwamba sisi tu dhaifu, lakini ninyi mna nguvu; kwa hiyo tunaomba mpate kuwa wakamilifu.
10For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.
10Basi, ninaandika barua hii nikiwa mbali, ili nitakapofika kwenu nisilazimike kuwa mkali kwenu kwa kutumia ule uwezo alionipa Bwana; naam, uwezo wa kujenga na si wa kubomoa.
11Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected. Be comforted. Be of the same mind. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
11Kwa sasa, ndugu, kwaherini! Muwe na ukamilifu, shikeni mashauri yangu, muwe na nia moja; kaeni kwa amani. Naye Mungu wa mapendo na amani atakuwa pamoja nanyi.
12Greet one another with a holy kiss.
12Salimianeni kwa ishara ya upendo.
13All the saints greet you.
13(G13-12) Watu wote wa Mungu huku wanawasalimuni.
14The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
14(G13-13) Neema ya Bwana Yesu Kristo na upendo wa Mungu na umoja wa Roho Mtakatifu, viwe nanyi nyote.
