Warumi 16
1 Namkabidhi kwenu Fibi dada yetu, ambaye ni mtumishi wa kanisa ambalo liko Kenkrea,
I NOW commend unto you Phoebe our sister, who is a deaconess of the church which is at Cenchrea:
2 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.
that ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that you assist her in every matter wherein she may have need of you: for she hath also been a succourer of many, and of me myself.
3 Msalimu Priska na Akila, watenda kazi pamoja nami katika Kristo Yesu,
Salute Priscilla and Aquila my fellow-labourers in Christ Jesus:
4 ambao kwa maisha yangu waliyahatarisha maisha yao wenyewe. Ninatoa shukrani kwao, na siyo tu mimi, bali pia kwa makanisa yote ya mataifa.
(who for my life have laid down their own neck: to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles: )
5 Lisalimie kanisa ambalo liko nyumbani kwao. Msalimie Epanieto mpendwa wangu, ambaye ni mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Kristo katika Asia.
and the church which is in their house. Salute Epinetus my beloved, who is the first-fruits of Achaia unto Christ.
6 Msalimie Mariamu ambaye ametenda kazi kwa bidii kwa ajili yenu.
Salute Mary, who laboured in many things to serve us.
7 Msalimie Androniko na Yunia, jamaa zangu, na wafungwa pamoja nami. Ni wa muhimu miongoni mwa mitume, ambao pia walitangulia kumjua Kristo kabla yangu.
Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and fellow-prisoners, who are eminent among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
8 Msalimie Ampliato, mpendwa wangu katika Bwana.
Salute Amplias my beloved in the Lord.
9 Msalimie Urbano, mtenda kazi pamoja nami katika Kristo, na Stakisi mpendwa wangu.
Salute Urban, our fellow-labourer in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.
10 Msalimie Apele, mwenye kukubaliwa katika Kristo. Wasalimie wote ambao walio katika nyumba ya Aristobulo.
Salute Apelles the approved in Christ. Salute those who are of the family of Aristobulus.
11 Nisalimie Herodioni, jamaa yangu. Nisalimie wote walio katika nyumba ya Narkiso, ambao wako katika Bwana.
Salute Herodion my kinsman. Salute those which belong to the family of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.
12 Nisalimie Trifaina na Trifosa, wanaotenda kazi kwa bidii katika Bwana. msalimie Persisi mpendwa, ambaye ametenda kazi zaidi kwa Bwana,

14 Msalimie Asinkrito, Flegon, Herme, Patroba, Herma, na ndugu wote walio pamoja nao.

15 Nisalimie Filologo naYulia, Nerea na dada yake, na Olimpa, na waumini wote walio pamoja nao.
Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints with them.
16 Nisalimie kila mmoja kwa busu takatifu. Makanisa yote katika Kristo yawasalimu.
Salute one another with the holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.
17 Sasa nawasihi, ndugu, kutafakari juu ya hao ambao wanasababisha mgawanyiko na vipingamizi. Wanakwenda kinyume na mafundisho ambayo mmekwisha kujifunza. Geukeni mtoke kwao.
Now I beseech you, brethren, keep a sharp eye over those who cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine ye have learned, and turn away from them.
18 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.
For such are not servants to our Lord Jesus Christ, but to their own belly; and by smooth speeches and flattering commendations deceive the hearts of the guileless.
19 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.
For your obedience is gone forth in report to all men. I rejoice therefore on your account: but I wish you to be wise indeed unto good, but harmless respecting evil.
20 Mungu wa amani hatakawia kumwangamiza shetani chini ya nyayo zenu. Neema ya Bwana Yesu Kristo iwe pamoja nanyi.
Now 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 pamoja nami, awasalimu, na Lukio, Yasoni na Sospeter, jamaa zangu.
There salute you Timothy, my fellow-labourer, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen.
22 Mimi, Tertio, niliyeuandika waraka huu, nawasalimu katika jina la Bwana.
I Tertius, who have written this epistle, salute you in the Lord.
23 Gayo, aliyenitunza na kwa kanisa lote, lawasalimu. Erasto, mtunza hazina wa mji, awasalimu, pamoja na Kwarto aliye ndugu.
Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.
24 (Zingatia: Katika nakala halisi za kwanza, mstari huu haupo. Tazama Warumi 16: 20. “Neema ya Bwana Yesu Kristo ikae nanyi nyote. Amina.”)
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
25 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)
Now to him that is able to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, agreeable to the revelation of the mystery; which was concealed from all former ages, (aiōnios g166)
26 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)
but is now made manifest, and by the prophetical scriptures, according to the commandment of the eternal God, notified to all the Gentiles to bring them to the obedience of faith: (aiōnios g166)
