Swahili to English: RELIGION....AN ANALYSIS OF WHY THE BIBLE IS HOLY.
Source text - Swahili THE BIBLE IS HOLY
On the cover of most Bibles we find the words “Holy Bible”. What is it that makes the Bible “Holy”? We read in Psa 138:2, “I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth: for thou [God] hast magnified thy word above [as] all thy [God’s] name.” What an amazing verse! We see the great emphasis that God places on His Holy Word, the Bible – He equates it to Himself. Just think of what the Name of God represents. It is everything that God exemplifies – His perfect, holy character and all of His eternal attributes. We catch a glimpse of this in Amos 4:13, “For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.”
We see how intricately God is involved in this world on a grand scale. We witness His almighty power as the Creator and Sustainer of this universe, and yet he knows every thought that you and I are thinking at any given instant!
The supreme importance of the authority of the Bible is also expressed in 2 Pet 1:16-21 in which Peter recounts his experience of having seen the Transfiguration of ¬¬¬¬¬the Lord Jesus. Moses and Elijah, who appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus, represented the Law and the Prophets (the Old Testament Scriptures) and Peter, James and John, who were there with Christ, represented the New Testament Scriptures.
In awesome splendor, the Lord Jesus was dramatically transfigured (changed) before their eyes; and He is, of course, the focus of both the Old and New Testaments. We know this because John 5:39 says, “Search the Scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” Even though Peter saw a part of the Lord’s glory during that experience on the Mount of Transfiguration, he declares in 2 Pet 1:19, under the inspiration of God: “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts.” Then verses 20 and 21 tell us that he is speaking about God’s Holy Word, the Bible.. This Word has more validity than even what Peter, James and John witnessed with their five physical senses that day on the mountain with Christ.
Translation - English BIBLIA NI TAKATIFU.
Kwenye majalada ya Biblia nyingi sisi hupata maneno " Biblia Takatifu". Je, ni nini ambacho huifanya Biblia kuwa "Takatifu?" Tanasoma katika Zaburi 138:2, "Nitaabudu kuelekea hekalu yako takatifu, na kulisifu jina lako kwa wema wako wenye upendo na kwa kweli yako: maana wewe [MUNGU] umelitikuza jina lako juu ya [kama] ukamilifu wa [MUNGU] jina la Mungu. ni mstariri wa kupendeza ajabu! Tunauona msisitizo mkubwa ambao Mungu anauweka katita jina lake takatifu, Biblia- anailinaganisha na yeye binafsi. Hebu wazia tu kile ambacho Jina la Mungu linawakilisha. Ni kila kitu ambacho jina la Mungu linadhihirisha- tabia yake takatifu na kamilifu na hulka yake ya milele kwa jumla. tunapata kinjo tu cha haya katika ktabu cha Amosi 4:13," Maana namjua yeye aiumbaye milima,na kuumba upepo, na kumtangazia mwanadamu fikira zake, umbaye giza la asubuhi, na kutembea katika sehemu za juu za ardhi, Bwana, Mungu wa Majeshi, ndilo jina lake.
Tunaona jinsu Mungu anavyohusika kwa undani na mambo ya dunia. Tunashuhudia nguvu zake kuu kama muumba na mdumishaji wa ulimwengu na ilhali anafahamu kila wazo ambalo wewe na mimi tunaliwazia wakati wowote ule. Umuhimu mkuu zaidi wa mamlaka ya Biblia pia unadhihirika katika 2 Petro 1:16-21 ambapo Petro anarejelea mapito yake alipouona ubadilisho wa Bwana Yesu. Musa na Eliya waliotokeza kwenye mlima wa ubadilisho pamoja na Yesu, waliwakilisha sheria na manabii (maandiko ya agano la kale) nao Petro, Yakobo na Yohana waliokuwa pale na Kristo, waliwakilisha maandiko ya agano jipya. Kwa ukuu wa kugofya,Bwana Yesu alibadilishwa (geuzwa) kimiujiza machoni pao, na Yeye ndiye, bila shaka, mtazamo wa agano jipya na lile la kale. Tunalijua hili kwa sababu Yohana 5:39 inasema, "Yatafuteni maandiko, maana ndani yake mnafikiri mna uzima wa milele: Na ni hayo yanayoshuhudia kunihusu." Hata ingawa Petro aliona sehemu ya utukufu wa Mungu wakati wa mapito hayo katika mlima wa ubadilisho, anatangaza katika 2 Petro 1:19, chini ya ushwawishi wa kiungu," Sisi pia tuna neno la unabii lenye uhakika zaidi, amabpo nyie mwa fanya vyema mkiyazingatia, kama kwa jua ing'aayo katika sehemu yenye giza, hadi kunapokucha, na nyota wa mchana kuangaza mioyoni mwenu." Kisha mtarri wa 20 na 21 unatuambia kuwa anazungumzia Neno Takatifu la Mungu, Biblia..... Neno hili linadhibitisho hata zaidi ya kile ambacho Petro, Yakobo na Yohana walikishuhudia kupitia kwa hisia zoa tano asilia siku hiyo mlimani na Kristo.
English to Swahili: OLIVIER GIROUD REPLACING VAN PERSIE? Detailed field: Sports / Fitness / Recreation
Source text - English OLIVIER GIROUD was bought to replace Robin van Persie, claims Arsenal scout Gilles Grimandi.
The French striker joined from Montpellier in a £12million deal last month just days before Van Persie announced he would not be signing a new Gunners deal.
And Grimandi said: “Was the recruitment of Giroud made to compensate for Van Persie’s departure? Yes, we worked to avoid being cornered.”
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger retains hope that the Dutch hitman will still be at the Emirates this season — despite interest from Europe’s top clubs including Manchester United and Manchester City.
But Grimandi admits that as much as the club want to keep hold of Van Persie, he will be sold this summer if the price is right.
The former Gunners defender, who made 113 appearances in a five-year stint in North London, said: “We want him to stay home but he is left with one year on his contract so it is complicated.
Translation - Swahili OLIVIER GIROUD alinunuliwa ili kuchukua nafasi ya Robin Van Persie, wakala wa Arsenal Gilles Grimandi adai.
mshambulizi huyo wa kifaransa alijiunga na Arsenal kutoka Montpellier kwa kandarasi ya kima cha pauni milioni kumi na mbili muezi uliopita, siku chache tu kabla ya Van Persie kutangaza kuwa hatatia saini kandarasi mpya na timu ya the Gunners.
Na Grimandi alisema: "Je, kusajiliwa kwa Giroud kulifanywa ili kuziba pengo la kuondoka kwa Van Persei? Ndio, tulijitahidi ili kujiepusha na kubanwa."
Bosi wa Arsenal Arsen Wenger angali na matumaini kuwa mshambulizi huyo wa kiholanzi bado atakuwa uwanjani emirates msimu huu-licha ya kuwindwa na timu kubwa barani ulaya kama Manchester United na Manchester City.
Hata hivyi Grimandi amekiri kuwa japo timu hiyo ingependa kumshikilia Van Persie, atauzwa msimu wa likizo ikiwa bei itakuwa nzuri.
Beki huyo wa zamani wa Arsenal, alicheza mechi 113 katika mda wa miaka mitano huko Kaskazini mwa Uingereza, alisema: "Tungependa abaki nyumbani lakini amesalia na mwaka mmja tu kwenye kandarasi yake na kwa hivyo mabo ni magumu.
