Warumi 16
1 Napenda kumtambulisha kwenu dada yetu Foibe, mtumishi katika kanisa la Kenkrea.
I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:
2 Naomba mpokeeni katika Bwana ipasavyo watakatifu na kumpa msaada wowote atakaohitaji kutoka kwenu, kwa maana yeye amekuwa msaada kwa watu wengi, mimi nikiwa miongoni mwao.
That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.
3 Wasalimuni Prisila na Akila, watumishi wenzangu katika Kristo Yesu.
Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:
4 Wao walihatarisha maisha yao kwa ajili yangu; wala si mimi tu ninayewashukuru bali pia makanisa yote ya watu wa Mataifa.
Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
5 Lisalimuni pia kanisa linalokutana nyumbani mwao. Msalimuni rafiki yangu mpendwa Epaineto, aliyekuwa mtu wa kwanza kumwamini Kristo huko Asia.
Likewise [greet] the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
6 Msalimuni Maria, aliyefanya kazi kwa bidii kwa ajili yenu.
Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.
7 Wasalimuni Androniko na Yunia, jamaa zangu ambao wamekuwa gerezani pamoja nami. Wao ni maarufu miongoni mwa mitume, nao walikuwa katika Kristo kabla yangu.
Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
8 Msalimuni Ampliato, yeye nimpendaye katika Bwana.
Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.
9 Msalimuni Urbano, mtendakazi mwenzetu katika Kristo, pamoja na rafiki yangu mpendwa Stakisi.
Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.
10 Msalimuni Apele aliyejaribiwa na akaithibitisha imani yake katika Kristo. Wasalimuni wote walio nyumbani mwa Aristobulo.
Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus’ [household].
11 Msalimuni ndugu yangu Herodioni. Wasalimuni wote walio nyumbani mwa Narkisi walio katika Bwana.
Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the [household] of Narcissus, which are in the Lord.
12 Wasalimuni Trifaina na Trifosa, wale wanawake wanaofanya kazi kwa bidii katika Bwana. Msalimuni rafiki yangu mpendwa Persisi, mwanamke mwingine aliyefanya kazi kwa bidii katika Bwana.
Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord.
13 Msalimuni Rufo, mteule katika Bwana, pamoja na mama yake, ambaye amekuwa mama kwangu pia.
Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
14 Wasalimuni Asinkrito, Flegoni, Herme, Patroba, Herma na ndugu wote walio pamoja nao.
Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren which are with them.
15 Wasalimuni Filologo, Yulia, Nerea na dada yake, na Olimpa na watakatifu wote walio pamoja nao.
Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.
16 Salimianeni ninyi kwa ninyi kwa busu takatifu. Makanisa yote ya Kristo yanawasalimu.
Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.
17 Ndugu zangu, nawasihi mjihadhari na kujiepusha na wale watu waletao matengano na kuweka vikwazo mbele yenu dhidi ya mafundisho mliyojifunza.
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18 Kwa maana watu kama hao hawamtumikii Bwana Kristo, bali wanatumikia tamaa zao wenyewe. Kwa kutumia maneno laini na ya kubembeleza, hupotosha mioyo ya watu wajinga.
For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
19 Kila mtu amesikia juu ya utii wenu, nami nimejawa na furaha tele kwa ajili yenu. Lakini nataka mwe na hekima katika mambo mema na bila hatia katika mambo maovu.
For your obedience is come abroad unto all [men]. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
20 Mungu wa amani atamponda Shetani chini ya miguu yenu upesi. Neema ya Bwana wetu Yesu iwe nanyi. Amen.
And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen.
21 Timotheo, mtendakazi mwenzangu anawasalimu. Vivyo hivyo Lukio, Yasoni, na Sosipatro, ndugu zangu.
Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.
22 Mimi, Tertio, niliye mwandishi wa waraka huu, nawasalimu katika Bwana.
I Tertius, who wrote [this] epistle, salute you in the Lord.
23 Gayo, ambaye ni mwenyeji wangu na wa kanisa lote, anawasalimu. Erasto, mweka hazina wa mji huu, pamoja na Kwarto ndugu yetu pia wanawasalimu. [
Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.
24 Neema ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo iwe pamoja nanyi nyote. Amen.]
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.
25 Sasa atukuzwe yeye awezaye kuwafanya ninyi imara kwa Injili yangu na kuhubiriwa kwa Yesu Kristo, kutokana na kufunuliwa siri zilizofichika tangu zamani za kale. (aiōnios g166)
Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, (aiōnios g166)
26 Lakini sasa siri hiyo imefunuliwa na kujulikana kupitia maandiko ya kinabii kutokana na amri ya Mungu wa milele, ili mataifa yote yaweze kumwamini na kumtii (aiōnios g166)
But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: (aiōnios g166)
