Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,
1Kisha Mafarisayo na walimu wa Sheria wakafika kutoka Yerusalemu, wakamwendea Yesu, wakamwuliza,
2“Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat bread.”
2“Kwa nini wanafunzi wako hawajali mapokeo tuliyopokea kutoka kwa wazee wetu? Hawanawi mikono yao kama ipasavyo kabla ya kula!”
3He answered them, “Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?
3Yesu akawajibu, “Kwa nini nanyi mnapendelea mapokeo yenu wenyewe na hamuijali Sheria ya Mungu?
4For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’
4Mungu amesema: Waheshimu baba yako na mama yako, na Anayemkashifu baba yake au mama yake, lazima auawe.
5But you say, ‘Whoever may tell his father or his mother, “Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,”
5Lakini ninyi mwafundisha ati mtu akiwa na kitu ambacho angeweza kuwasaidia nacho baba au mama yake, lakini akasema: Kitu hiki nimemtolea Mungu,
6he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.
6basi, hapaswi tena kumheshimu baba yake! Ndivyo mnavyodharau neno la Mungu kwa kufuata mafundisho yenu wenyewe.
7You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
7Enyi wanafiki! Isaya alitabiri sawa kabisa juu yenu:
8‘These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
8Watu hawa, asema Mungu, huniheshimu kwa maneno tu, lakini mioyoni mwao wako mbali nami.
9And they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’”
9Kuniabudu kwao hakufai, maana mambo wanayofundisha ni maagizo ya kibinadamu tu.”
10He summoned the multitude, and said to them, “Hear, and understand.
10Yesu aliuita ule umati wa watu, akawaambia, “Sikilizeni na muelewe!
11That which enters into the mouth doesn’t defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”
11Kitu kinachomtia mtu najisi si kile kiingiacho kinywani, bali kile kitokacho kinywani. Hicho ndicho kimtiacho mtu najisi.”
12Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
12Kisha wanafunzi wakamwendea, wakamwambia, “Je, unajua kwamba Mafarisayo walichukizwa waliposikia maneno yako?”
13But he answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted.
13Lakini yeye akawajibu, “Kila mmea ambao Baba yangu aliye mbinguni hakuupanda, utang'olewa.
14Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
14Waacheni wenyewe! Wao ni vipofu, viongozi wa vipofu; na kipofu akimwongoza kipofu, wote wawili hutumbukia shimoni.”
15Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”
15Petro akadakia, “Tufafanulie huo mfano.”
16So Jesus said, “Do you also still not understand?
16Yesu akasema, “Hata nyinyi hamwelewi?
17Don’t you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly and then out of the body?
17Je, hamwelewi kwamba kila kinachoingia kinywani huenda tumboni na baadaye hutupwa nje chooni?
18But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.
18Lakini yale yatokayo kinywani hutoka moyoni, na hayo ndiyo yanayomtia mtu najisi.
19For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.
19Maana moyoni hutoka mawazo maovu yanayosababisha uuaji, uzinzi, uasherati, wizi, ushahidi wa uongo na kashfa.
20These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn’t defile the man.”
20Hayo ndiyo yanayomtia mtu najisi. Lakini kula chakula bila kunawa mikono hakumtii mtu najisi.”
21Jesus went out from there and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.
21Yesu aliondoka mahali hapo akaenda kukaa katika sehemu za Tiro na Sidoni.
22Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!”
22Basi, mama mmoja Mkaanani wa nchi hiyo alimjia, akapaaza sauti: “Mheshimiwa, Mwana wa Daudi, nionee huruma! Binti yangu anasumbuliwa na pepo.”
23But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.”
23Lakini Yesu hakumjibu neno. Basi, wanafunzi wake wakamwendea, wakamwambia, “Mwambie aende zake kwa maana anatufuatafuata akipiga kelele.”
24But he answered, “I wasn’t sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
24Yesu akajibu, “Sikutumwa ila kwa watu wa Israeli waliopotea kama kondoo.”
25But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
25Hapo huyo mama akaja, akapiga magoti mbele yake, akasema, “Mheshimiwa, nisaidie.”
26But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
26Yesu akamjibu, “Si sawa kuchukua chakula cha watoto na kuwatupia mbwa.”
27But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
27Huyo mama akajibu, “Ni kweli, Mheshimiwa; lakini hata mbwa hula makombo yanayoanguka kutoka meza ya bwana wao.”
28Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
28Hapo Yesu akamjibu, “Mama, imani yako ni kubwa; basi, ufanyiwe kama unavyotaka.” Yule binti yake akapona tangu saa hiyo wakati huohuo.
29Jesus departed from there and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up on the mountain and sat there.
29Yesu alitoka hapo akaenda kando ya ziwa Galilaya, akapanda mlimani, akaketi.
30Great multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet. He healed them,
30Watu wengi sana wakamjia wakiwaleta vilema, vipofu, viwete, bubu na wengine wengi waliokuwa wagonjwa, wakawaweka mbele ya miguu yake, naye Yesu akawaponya.
31so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, the injured healed, the lame walking, and the blind seeing—and they glorified the God of Israel.
31Umati ule wa watu ulishangaa sana ulipoona bubu wakiongea, waliokuwa wamelemaa wamepona, viwete wakitembea na vipofu wakiona; wakamsifu Mungu wa Israeli.
32Jesus summoned his disciples and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have continued with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way.”
32Basi, Yesu aliwaita wanafunzi wake, akasema, “Nawaonea watu hawa huruma kwa sababu kwa siku tatu wamekuwa nami, wala hawana chakula. Sipendi kuwaacha waende bila kula wasije wakazimia njiani.”
33The disciples said to him, “Where could we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?”
33Wanafunzi wakamwambia, “Hapa tuko nyikani; tutapata wapi chakula cha kuwatosha watu wengi hivi?”
34Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
34Yesu akawauliza, “Mnayo mikate mingapi?” Wakamjibu, “Saba na visamaki vichache.”
35He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;
35Basi, Yesu akawaamuru watu wakae chini.
36and he took the seven loaves and the fish. He gave thanks and broke them, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
36Akaitwaa ile mikate saba na vile visamaki, akamshukuru Mungu, akavimega, akawapa wanafunzi, nao wakawagawia watu.
37They all ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
37Wote wakala, wakashiba. Kisha wakakusanya makombo, wakajaza vikapu saba.
38Those who ate were four thousand men, in addition to women and children.
38Hao waliokula walikuwa wanaume elfu nne, bila kuhesabu wanawake na watoto.
39Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.
39Basi, Yesu akawaaga watu, akapanda mashua, akaenda katika eneo la Magadani.
