Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1Soon afterwards, he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of God’s Kingdom. With him were the twelve,
1Baada ya hayo, Yesu alipitia katika miji na vijiji akitangaza Habari Njema za Ufalme wa Mungu. Wale kumi na wawili waliandamana naye.
2and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;
2Pia wanawake kadhaa ambao Yesu alikuwa amewatoa pepo wabaya na kuwaponya magonjwa, waliandamana naye. Hao ndio akina Maria (aitwaye Magdalene), ambaye alitolewa pepo wabaya saba;
3and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others who served them from their possessions.
3Yoana, mke wa Kuza, mfanyakazi mkuu wa Herode; Susana na wengine kadhaa. Hao wanawake walikuwa wakiwatumikia kwa mali yao wenyewe.
4When a great multitude came together and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable:
4Kundi kubwa la watu lilikuwa linakusanyika, na watu walikuwa wanamjia Yesu kutoka kila mji. Naye akawaambia mfano huu:
5“The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
5“Mpanzi alikwenda kupanda mbegu zake. Alipokuwa akipanda zile mbegu, nyingine zilianguka njiani, na wapita njia wakazikanyaga, na ndege wakazila.
6Some seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
6Nyingine zilianguka penye mawe, na baada ya kuota zikanyauka kwa kukosa maji.
7Some fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
7Nyingine zilianguka kati ya miti ya miiba. Ile miti ya miiba ilipoota ikazisonga.
8Some fell into the good ground and grew and produced one hundred times as much fruit.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
8Nyingine zilianguka katika udongo mzuri, zikaota na kuzaa asilimia mia.” Baada ya kusema hayo, akapaaza sauti, akasema, “Mwenye masikio na asikie!”
9Then his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean?”
9Wanafunzi wake wakamwuliza Yesu maana ya mfano huo.
10He said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of God’s Kingdom, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’
10Naye akajibu, “Ninyi mmejaliwa kujua siri za Ufalme wa Mungu, lakini hao wengine sivyo; ila hao huambiwa kwa mifano, ili wakitazama wasiweze kuona, na wakisikia wasifahamu.
11“Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
11“Basi, maana ya mfano huu ni hii: mbegu ni neno la Mungu.
12Those along the road are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
12Zile zilizoanguka njiani zinaonyesha watu wale wanaosikia lile neno, halafu Ibilisi akaja na kuliondoa mioyoni mwao wasije wakaamini na hivyo wakaokoka.
13Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root. They believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
13Zile zilizoanguka penye mawe zinaonyesha watu wale ambao wanaposikia juu ya lile neno hulipokea kwa furaha. Hata hivyo, kama zile mbegu, watu hao hawana mizizi maana husadiki kwa kitambo tu, na wanapojaribiwa hukata tamaa.
14What fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life; and they bring no fruit to maturity.
14Zile zilizoanguka kwenye miti ya miiba ni watu wale wanaosikia lile neno, lakini muda si muda, wanapokwenda zao, husongwa na wasiwasi, mali na anasa za maisha, na hawazai matunda yakakomaa.
15Those in the good ground, these are those who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance.
15Na zile zilizoanguka kwenye udongo mzuri ndio watu wale wanaolisikia lile neno, wakalizingatia kwa moyo mwema na wa utii. Hao huvumilia mpaka wakazaa matunda.
16“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.
16“Watu hawawashi taa na kuifunika kwa chombo au kuiweka mvunguni. Lakini huiweka juu ya kinara ili watu wanapoingia ndani wapate kuona mwanga.
17For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.
17“Chochote kilichofichwa kitafichuliwa na siri yoyote itagunduliwa na kujulikana hadharani.
18Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”
18“Kwa hiyo, jihadharini jinsi mnavyosikia; maana aliye na kitu ataongezewa, lakini yule asiye na kitu, hata kile anachodhani kuwa anacho, kitachukuliwa.”
19His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.
19Hapo mama na ndugu zake Yesu wakamjia, lakini hawakuweza kumkaribia kwa sababu ya umati wa watu.
20Some people told him, “Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you.”
20Yesu akapewa habari kwamba mama na ndugu zake walikuwa nje, wanataka kumwona.
21But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
21Lakini Yesu akawaambia watu wote, “Mama yangu na ndugu zangu ni wale wanaolisikia neno la Mungu na kulishika.”
22Now on one of those days, he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.
22Siku moja, Yesu alipanda mashua pamoja na wanafunzi wake, akawaambia, “Tuvuke ziwa twende mpaka ng'ambo.” Basi, wakaanza safari.
23But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.
23Walipokuwa wanasafiri kwa mashua, Yesu alishikwa na usingizi, akalala. Dhoruba kali ikaanza kuvuma, maji yakaanza kuingia ndani ya mashua, wakawa katika hatari.
24They came to him and awoke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are dying!” He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; then they ceased, and it was calm.
24Wale wanafunzi wakamwendea Yesu, wakamwamsha wakisema, “Bwana, Bwana! Tunaangamia!” Yesu akaamka, akaikemea dhoruba na mawimbi, navyo vikatulia, kukawa shwari.
25He said to them, “Where is your faith?” Being afraid, they marveled, saying to one another, “Who is this then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
25Kisha akawaambia, “Iko wapi imani yenu?” Lakini wao walishangaa na kuogopa huku wakiambiana, “Huyu ni nani basi, hata anaamuru dhoruba na mawimbi, navyo vinamtii?”
26Then they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
26Wakaendelea na safari, wakafika pwani ya nchi ya Wagerase inayokabiliana na Galilaya, ng'ambo ya ziwa.
27When Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city who had demons for a long time met him. He wore no clothes, and didn’t live in a house, but in the tombs.
27Alipokuwa anashuka pwani, mtu mmoja aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo alimjia kutoka mjini. Kwa muda mrefu mtu huyo, hakuwa anavaa nguo, wala hakuwa anaishi nyumbani bali makaburini.
28When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torment me!”
28Alipomwona Yesu, alipiga kelele na kujitupa chini mbele yake, na kusema kwa sauti kubwa “We, Yesu Mwana wa Mungu Aliye Juu una shauri gani nami? Ninakusihi usinitese!”
29For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
29Alisema hivyo kwa kuwa Yesu alikwishamwambia huyo pepo mchafu amtoke mtu huyo. Pepo huyo mchafu alikuwa anamvamia mtu huyo mara nyingi, na ingawa watu walimweka ndani na kumfunga kwa minyororo na pingu, lakini kila mara alivivunja vifungo hivyo, akakimbizwa na pepo huyo mchafu hadi jangwani.
30Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him.
30Basi, Yesu akamwuliza, “Jina lako nani?” Yeye akajibu, “Jina langu ni Jeshi” —kwa sababu pepo wengi walikuwa wamempagaa.
31They begged him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.
31Hao pepo wakamsihi asiwaamuru wamtoke na kwenda kwenye shimo lisilo na mwisho.
32Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. Then he allowed them.
32Kulikuwa na kundi kubwa la nguruwe wakilisha mlimani. Basi, hao pepo wakamsihi awaruhusu wawaingie. Naye Yesu akawapa ruhusa.
33The demons came out of the man and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
33Kwa hiyo pepo hao wakamtoka yule mtu, wakawaingia wale nguruwe, nao wakaporomoka kwenye ule mteremko mkali, wakatumbukia ziwani, wakazama majini.
34When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.
34Wale wachungaji walipoona yote yaliyotokea walikimbia, wakaenda kuwapa watu habari, mjini na mashambani.
35People went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
35Watu wakaja kuona yaliyotokea. Wakamwendea Yesu, wakamwona yule mtu aliyetokwa na pepo ameketi karibu na Yesu, amevaa nguo, ana akili zake, wakaogopa.
36Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
36Wale watu walioshuhudia tukio hilo waliwaeleza hao jinsi yule mtu alivyoponywa.
37All the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were very much afraid. Then he entered into the boat and returned.
37Wakazi wa nchi ya Gerase walishikwa na hofu kubwa. Kwa hiyo wakamwomba Yesu aondoke, aende zake. Hivyo Yesu alipanda tena mashua, akaondoka.
38But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
38Yule mtu aliyetokwa na wale pepo akamsihi aende pamoja naye. Lakini Yesu hakumruhusu, bali akamwambia,
39“Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you.” He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
39“Rudi nyumbani ukaeleze yote Mungu aliyokutendea.” Basi, yule mtu akaenda akitangaza kila mahali katika mji ule mambo yote Yesu aliyomtendea.
40When Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
40Yesu aliporudi upande mwingine wa ziwa, kundi la watu lilimkaribisha, kwa maana wote walikuwa wanamngojea.
41Behold, a man named Jairus came. He was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come into his house,
41Hapo akaja mtu mmoja aitwaye Yairo, ofisa wa sunagogi. Alijitupa miguuni pa Yesu, akamwomba aende nyumbani kwake,
42for he had an only born daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.
42kwa kuwa binti yake wa pekee, mwana wa pekee mwenye umri wa miaka kumi na miwili, alikuwa mahututi. Yesu alipokuwa akienda, watu wakawa wanamsonga kila upande.
43A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians and could not be healed by any,
43Kulikuwa na mwanamke mmoja kati ya lile kundi la watu, ambaye alikuwa na ugonjwa wa kutokwa damu kwa muda wa miaka kumi na miwili, ingawa alikuwa amekwisha tumia mali yake yote kwa waganga, hakuna aliyefaulu kumponya.
44came behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak. Immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
44Huyo mwanamke alimfuata Yesu nyuma, akagusa pindo la vazi lake. Papo hapo akaponywa ugonjwa wake wa kutokwa damu.
45Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ”
45Yesu akasema, “Ni nani aliyenigusa?” Wote wakasema kwamba hapakuwa na mtu aliyemgusa. Naye Petro akasema, “Mwalimu, umati wa watu umekuzunguka na kukusonga!”
46But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me.”
46Lakini Yesu akasema, “Kuna mtu aliyenigusa, maana nimehisi nguvu imenitoka.”
47When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
47Yule mwanamke alipoona kwamba hawezi kujificha, akajitokeza akitetemeka kwa hofu, akajitupa mbele ya Yesu. Hapo akaeleza mbele ya wote kisa cha kumgusa Yesu na jinsi alivyoponyeshwa mara moja.
48He said to her, “Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
48Yesu akamwambia, “Binti, imani yako imekuponya. Nenda kwa amani.”
49While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t trouble the Teacher.”
49Alipokuwa bado akiongea, Yairo akaletewa habari kutoka nyumbani: “Binti yako ameshakufa, ya nini kumsumbua Mwalimu zaidi?”
50But Jesus hearing it, answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed.”
50Yesu aliposikia hayo akamwambia Yairo, “Usiogope; amini tu, naye atapona.”
51When he came to the house, he didn’t allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.
51Alipofika nyumbani hakumruhusu mtu kuingia ndani pamoja naye, isipokuwa Petro, Yohane, Yakobo na wazazi wa huyo msichana.
52All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, “Don’t weep. She isn’t dead, but sleeping.”
52Watu wote walikuwa wakilia na kuomboleza kwa ajili yake. Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Msilie, kwa maana mtoto hajafa, amelala tu!”
53They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.
53Nao wakamcheka kwa sababu walijua kwamba alikuwa amekufa.
54But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, “Child, arise!”
54Lakini Yesu akamshika mkono akasema, “Mtoto amka!”
55Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
55Roho yake ikamrudia, akaamka mara. Yesu akaamuru wampe chakula.
56Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.
56Wazazi wake walishangaa, lakini Yesu akawaamuru wasimwambie mtu yeyote hayo yaliyotendeka.
