Romans 16
1 I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is a servant of the church that is at Cenchreae,
Namkabidhi kwenu Fibi dada yetu, ambaye ni mtumishi wa kanisa ambalo liko Kenkrea,
2 that you receive her in the Lord, in a way worthy of the saints, and that you assist her in whatever matter she may need from you, for she herself also has been a helper of many, and of my own self.
ili kwamba mnaweza kumpokea katika Bwana. Fanyeni hivi katika kicho cha thamani cha waumini, na msimame pamoja naye katika jambo lolote atakalokuwa na uhitaji nalo. Maana yeye mwenyewe amekuwa mhudumu wa wengi, na kwa ajili yangu mwenyewe.
3 Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,
Msalimu Priska na Akila, watenda kazi pamoja nami katika Kristo Yesu,
4 who for my life, laid down their own necks; to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the non-Jewish people.
ambao kwa maisha yangu waliyahatarisha maisha yao wenyewe. Ninatoa shukrani kwao, na siyo tu mimi, bali pia kwa makanisa yote ya mataifa.
5 Greet the church that is in their house. Greet Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the first fruits of Asia to Christ.
Lisalimie kanisa ambalo liko nyumbani kwao. Msalimie Epanieto mpendwa wangu, ambaye ni mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Kristo katika Asia.
6 Greet Mary, who labored much for you.
Msalimie Mariamu ambaye ametenda kazi kwa bidii kwa ajili yenu.
7 Greet Andronicus and Junia, my compatriots and my fellow prisoners, who are notable among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
Msalimie Androniko na Yunia, jamaa zangu, na wafungwa pamoja nami. Ni wa muhimu miongoni mwa mitume, ambao pia walitangulia kumjua Kristo kabla yangu.
8 Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord.
Msalimie Ampliato, mpendwa wangu katika Bwana.
9 Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved.
Msalimie Urbano, mtenda kazi pamoja nami katika Kristo, na Stakisi mpendwa wangu.

Msalimie Apele, mwenye kukubaliwa katika Kristo. Wasalimie wote ambao walio katika nyumba ya Aristobulo.
11 Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet them of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.

15 Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.
Nisalimie Filologo naYulia, Nerea na dada yake, na Olimpa, na waumini wote walio pamoja nao.
16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. The churches of Christ greet you.
Nisalimie kila mmoja kwa busu takatifu. Makanisa yote katika Kristo yawasalimu.
17 Now I appeal to you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.
Sasa nawasihi, ndugu, kutafakari juu ya hao ambao wanasababisha mgawanyiko na vipingamizi. Wanakwenda kinyume na mafundisho ambayo mmekwisha kujifunza. Geukeni mtoke kwao.
18 For those who are such do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech, they deceive the hearts of the innocent.
Kwa maana watu kama hawa hawamtumikii Kristo Bwana, bali matumbo yao wenyewe. Kwa maneno yao laini na pongezi za uongo wanadanganya mioyo ya wasio na hatia.
19 For your obedience has become known to all. I rejoice therefore over you. But I desire to have you wise in that which is good, but innocent in that which is evil.
Kwa mfano wa utii wenu mwamfikia kila mmoja. Kwa hiyo, nafurahi juu yenu, lakini nawataka ninyi mwe na busara katika hali ya wema, na kutokuwa na hatia mbele ya uovu.
20 And the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Mungu wa amani hatakawia kumwangamiza shetani chini ya nyayo zenu. Neema ya Bwana Yesu Kristo iwe pamoja nanyi.
21 Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my relatives.
Timotheo, mtendakazi pamoja nami, awasalimu, na Lukio, Yasoni na Sospeter, jamaa zangu.
22 I, Tertius, who write the letter, greet you in the Lord.
Mimi, Tertio, niliyeuandika waraka huu, nawasalimu katika jina la Bwana.
23 Gaius, my host and host of the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, as does Quartus, the brother.
Gayo, aliyenitunza na kwa kanisa lote, lawasalimu. Erasto, mtunza hazina wa mji, awasalimu, pamoja na Kwarto aliye ndugu.
(Zingatia: Katika nakala halisi za kwanza, mstari huu haupo. Tazama Warumi 16: 20. “Neema ya Bwana Yesu Kristo ikae nanyi nyote. Amina.”)
25 Now to him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret through long ages, (aiōnios g166)
Sasa kwake yeye aliye na uwezo kufanya msimame kulingana na injili na mafundisho ya Yesu Kristo, kulingana na ufunuo wa siri iliyofichwa kwa muda mrefu, (aiōnios g166)
26 but now is revealed, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, is made known for obedience of faith to all the nations; (aiōnios g166)
lakini sasa imekwisha funuliwa na kufanywa kujulikana na maandiko ya unabii kulingana na amri ya Mungu wa milele, kwa utii wa imani miongoni mwa mataifa yote? (aiōnios g166)
