Matendo ya Mitume 1: 15-17, 20-26

1:15 Katika siku hizo, Peter, akisimama katikati ya ndugu, sema (sasa umati wa watu kwa ujumla ulikuwa kama mia moja na ishirini):

1:16 “Ndugu waheshimiwa, Maandiko lazima yatimie, ambayo Roho Mtakatifu alitabiri kwa kinywa cha Daudi kuhusu Yuda, ambaye alikuwa kiongozi wa wale waliomkamata Yesu.

1:17 Alikuwa amehesabiwa kati yetu, na alichaguliwa kwa kura kwa huduma hii.

1:20 Kwa maana imeandikwa katika kitabu cha Zaburi: ‘Makao yao na yawe ukiwa na pasiwe na yeyote anayekaa ndani yake,’ na ‘Mwingine na atwae uaskofu wake.

1:21 Kwa hiyo, ni lazima hiyo, kutoka kwa watu hawa ambao wamekuwa wakikusanyika pamoja nasi wakati wote ambao Bwana Yesu alikuwa akiingia na kutoka kati yetu,

1:22 kuanzia ubatizo wa Yohana, mpaka siku alipochukuliwa kutoka kwetu, mmoja wao awe shahidi pamoja nasi juu ya Ufufuo wake.”

1:23 Na wakateua wawili: Joseph, aliyeitwa Barsaba, ambaye aliitwa Yusto, na Mathiasi.

1:24 Na kuomba, walisema: “Naomba wewe, Ee Bwana, anayejua mioyo ya kila mtu, onyesha ni yupi kati ya hizi mbili umechagua,

1:25 kuchukua nafasi katika huduma hii na utume, ambayo Yuda alitangulia, ili aende zake mwenyewe.”

1:26 Na wakapiga kura juu yao, kura ikamwangukia Mathiya. Naye alihesabiwa pamoja na Mitume kumi na mmoja.

 

Somo la Pili

Barua ya kwanza ya Yohana Mtakatifu 4: 11-16

4:11 Mpendwa zaidi, ikiwa Mungu alitupenda hivi, imetupasa sisi pia kupendana.

4:12 Hakuna aliyewahi kumwona Mungu. Lakini ikiwa tunapendana, Mungu anakaa ndani yetu, na upendo wake unakamilishwa ndani yetu.

4:13 Kwa njia hii, tunajua kwamba tunakaa ndani yake, naye ndani yetu: kwa maana ametukirimia kwa Roho wake.

4:14 Na tumeona, na tunashuhudia, kwamba Baba amemtuma Mwanawe kuwa Mwokozi wa ulimwengu.

4:15 Yeyote aliyekiri kwamba Yesu ni Mwana wa Mungu, Mungu anakaa ndani yake, naye katika Mungu.

4:16 Nasi tumelifahamu pendo alilo nalo Mungu kwetu sisi na kuliamini. Mungu ni upendo. Na anayedumu katika upendo, abides in Mungu, na Mungu ndani yake.

The Holy Gospel According to Saint John 17: 11-19

17:11 And though I am not in the world, these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Father most holy, preserve them in your name, those whom you have given to me, ili wawe kitu kimoja, even as we are one.

17:12 While I was with them, I preserved them in your name. I have guarded those whom you have given to me, and not one of them is lost, except the son of perdition, so that the Scripture may be fulfilled.

17:13 And now I am coming to you. But I am speaking these things in the world, so that they may have the fullness of my joy within themselves.

17:14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them. For they are not of the world, just as I, pia, am not of the world.

17:15 I am not praying that you would take them out of the world, but that you would preserve them from evil.

17:16 They are not of the world, just as I also am not of the world.

17:17 Sanctify them in truth. Your word is truth.

17:18 Just as you have sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

17:19 And it is for them that I sanctify myself, ili wao, pia, may be sanctified in truth.
