Nani, nini, kwa nini, lini, wapi na jinsi — utangulizi wa kitabu
Huhitaji kujua kusoma Kigiriki ili kuanza. Gusa neno lililopigiwa mstari katika mstari wa Kigiriki au wa Kigiriki kilichoandikwa kwa herufi za Kilatini: yote mawili yanafungua ingizo lilelile. Data inapopatikana kwa uhakika, utaona umbo la neno katika kamusi, sarufi, namba ya Strong na maana. Chagua “Zaidi kuhusu maana na sarufi” ili kuona maelezo zaidi. Buruta upau wa juu ili kusogeza paneli, na sogeza yaliyomo ndani yake ili kuendelea kusoma. Kitufe cha “Funga” hubaki kuonekana.
Mstari wa vipande unaonyesha kwamba uchanganuzi haupatikani; mstari maradufu unaonyesha kwamba ingizo la kamusi halipatikani. Hatujazii mapengo haya kwa kubahatisha. Kamusi hutoa maana zinazowezekana; muktadha huamua maana inayofaa katika kifungu. Maandishi yetu ya Biblia, Kigiriki na herufi za Kilatini hayajabadilishwa.
RASIMU KWA UHAKIKI: Maana za kamusi kwa Kiswahili ni tafsiri za kiotomatiki za ufafanuzi wa Kiingereza wa Dodson, pamoja na masahihisho maalumu. Bado zinahitaji uhakiki wa mwandishi na wa lugha. Ufafanuzi wa awali wa Kiingereza unapatikana katika maelezo yaliyopanuliwa. Alama hii ya rasimu inahusu maana za kamusi pekee, si maandishi yaliyokamilika ya Biblia.

In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
Ἐν δὲ ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις παραγίνεται Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτιστής, κηρύσσων ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τῆς Ἰουδαίας,
En de tais hēmerais ekeinais paraginetai Iōannēs ho baptistēs, kēryssōn en tē erēmō tēs Ioudaias,
“Tubuni, kwa maana Ufalme wa mbinguni umekaribia.”
And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
καὶ λέγων, Μετανοεῖτε∙ ἤγγικεν γὰρ ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν.
kai legōn, Metanoeite; ēngiken gar hē basileia tōn ouranōn.
Huyu ndiye aliyesemwa kupitia nabii Isaya:
“Sauti ya mtu anayelia jangwani:
‘Itayarisheni njia ya Bwana;
nyosheni mapito yake.’”
For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Οὗτος γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ῥηθεὶς ὑπὸ Ἠσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου, λέγοντος, Φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, Ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν κυρίου∙ εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους αὐτοῦ.
Houtos gar estin ho rhētheis hypo Ēsaiou tou prophētou, legontos, Phōnē boōntos en tē erēmō, Hetoimasate tēn hodon kyriou; eutheias poieite tas tribous autou.
Yohana alivaa vazi la manyoya ya ngamia na mkanda wa ngozi kiunoni. Chakula chake kilikuwa nzige na asali ya porini.
And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
Αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ Ἰωάννης εἶχεν τὸ ἔνδυμα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τριχῶν καμήλου, καὶ ζώνην δερματίνην περὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ∙ ἡ δὲ τροφὴ αὐτοῦ ἦν ἀκρίδες καὶ μέλι ἄγριον.
Autos de ho Iōannēs eichen to endyma autou apo trichōn kamēlou, kai zōnēn dermatinēn peri tēn osphyn autou; hē de trophē autou ēn akrides kai meli agrion.
Watu kutoka Yerusalemu, Uyahudi yote, na maeneo yote yanayozunguka Yordani walimwendea.
Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
Τότε ἐξεπορεύετο πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἱεροσόλυμα καὶ πᾶσα ἡ Ἰουδαία καὶ πᾶσα ἡ περίχωρος τοῦ Ἰορδάνου∙
Tote exeporeueto pros auton Hierosolyma kai pasa hē Ioudaia kai pasa hē perichōros tou Iordanou;
Wakabatizwa naye katika Yordani, wakiziungama dhambi zao.
And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
καὶ ἐβαπτίζοντο ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ, ἐξομολογούμενοι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν.
kai ebaptizonto en tō Iordanē hyp’ autou, exomologoumenoi tas hamartias autōn.

“Enyi wazao wa nyoka wenye sumu! Ni nani aliyewaonya kuikimbia ghadhabu inayokuja?
¶ But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Ἰδὼν δὲ πολλοὺς τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων ἐρχομένους ἐπὶ τὸ βάπτισμα αὐτοῦ, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν, τίς ὑπέδειξεν ὑμῖν φυγεῖν ἀπὸ τῆς μελλούσης ὀργῆς;
Idōn de pollous tōn Pharisaiōn kai Saddoukaiōn erchomenous epi to baptisma autou, eipen autois, Gennēmata echidnōn, tis hypedeixen hymin phygein apo tēs mellousēs orgēs?
Basi, zaeni matunda yanayoonyesha kwamba mmetubu kweli.
Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
Ποιήσατε οὖν καρπὸν ἄξιον τῆς μετανοίας∙
Poiēsate oun karpon axion tēs metanoias;
Msijidanganye kwa kujiambia, ‘Abrahamu ndiye baba yetu.’ Nawaambia, Mungu anaweza kuwainua watoto wa Abrahamu kutoka katika mawe haya.
And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
καὶ μὴ δόξητε λέγειν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς, Πατέρα ἔχομεν τὸν Ἀβραάμ∙ λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι δύναται ὁ θεὸς ἐκ τῶν λίθων τούτων ἐγεῖραι τέκνα τῷ Ἀβραάμ.
kai mē doxēte legein en heautois, Patera echomen ton Abraam; legō gar hymin hoti dynatai ho theos ek tōn lithōn toutōn egeirai tekna tō Abraam.

And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Ἤδη δὲ καὶ ἡ ἀξίνη πρὸς τὴν ῥίζαν τῶν δένδρων κεῖται∙ πᾶν οὖν δένδρον μὴ ποιοῦν καρπὸν καλὸν ἐκκόπτεται καὶ εἰς πῦρ βάλλεται.
Ēdē de kai hē axinē pros tēn rhizan tōn dendrōn keitai; pan oun dendron mē poioun karpon kalon ekkoptetai kai eis pyr balletai.
Mimi ninawabatiza kwa maji kwa ajili ya toba. Lakini anayekuja nyuma yangu ana nguvu kuliko mimi, nami sistahili hata kubeba viatu vyake. Yeye atawabatiza katika Roho Mtakatifu.
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Ἐγὼ μὲν βαπτίζω ὑμᾶς ἐν ὕδατι εἰς μετάνοιαν∙ ὁ δὲ ὀπίσω μου ἐρχόμενος ἰσχυρότερός μου ἐστίν, οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς τὰ ὑποδήματα βαστάσαι∙ αὐτὸς ὑμᾶς βαπτίσει ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ.
Egō men baptizō hymas en hydati eis metanoian; ho de opisō mou erchomenos ischyroteros mou estin, hou ouk eimi hikanos ta hypodēmata bastasai; autos hymas baptisei en pneumati hagiō.
Ana chombo chake cha kupepetea nafaka mkononi. Atasafisha kabisa uwanja wake wa kupuria, akusanye ngano yake ghalani, lakini makapi atayachoma kwa moto usiozimika.”
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Οὗ τὸ πτύον ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ διακαθαριεῖ τὴν ἅλωνα αὐτοῦ, καὶ συνάξει τὸν σῖτον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν ἀποθήκην, τὸ δὲ ἄχυρον κατακαύσει πυρὶ ἀσβέστῳ.

Ndipo Yesu akaja kutoka Galilaya hadi Yordani kwa Yohana, ili abatizwe naye.
¶ Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
Τότε παραγίνεται ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰορδάνην πρὸς τὸν Ἰωάννην, τοῦ βαπτισθῆναι ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ.
Tote paraginetai ho Iēsous apo tēs Galilaias epi ton Iordanēn pros ton Iōannēn, tou baptisthēnai hyp’ autou.
Lakini Yohana alijaribu kumzuia, akisema,
“Mimi ndiye ninayehitaji kubatizwa nawe, nawe unakuja kwangu?”
But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
Ὁ δὲ Ἰωάννης διεκώλυεν αὐτόν, λέγων, Ἐγὼ χρείαν ἔχω ὑπὸ σοῦ βαπτισθῆναι, καὶ σὺ ἔρχῃ πρός με;
Ho de Iōannēs diekōlyen auton, legōn, Egō chreian echō hypo sou baptisthēnai, kai sy erchē pros me?
Yesu akamjibu, “Kubali hivyo kwa sasa, kwa maana kwa njia hii inatufaa kutimiza haki yote.”
Ndipo Yohana akakubali.
And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν, Ἄφες ἄρτι∙ οὕτως γὰρ πρέπον ἐστὶν ἡμῖν πληρῶσαι πᾶσαν δικαιοσύνην. Τότε ἀφίησιν αὐτόν.
Apokritheis de ho Iēsous eipen pros auton, Aphes arti; houtōs gar prepon estin hēmin plērōsai pasan dikaiosynēn. Tote aphiēsin auton.
Yesu alipobatizwa, mara akapanda kutoka majini. Mbingu zikamfungukia, naye akamwona Roho wa Mungu akishuka kama njiwa na kuja juu yake.
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
Καὶ βαπτισθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀνέβη εὐθὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕδατος∙ καὶ ἰδού, ἀνεῴχθησαν αὐτῷ οἱ οὐρανοί, καὶ εἶδεν τὸ πνεῦμα τοῦ θεοῦ καταβαῖνον ὡσεὶ περιστερὰν καὶ ἐρχόμενον ἐπ’ αὐτόν.
Kai baptistheis ho Iēsous anebē euthys apo tou hydatos; kai idou, aneōchthēsan autō hoi ouranoi, kai eiden to pneuma tou theou katabainon hōsei peristeran kai erchomenon ep’ auton.
Kisha sauti ikatoka mbinguni, ikisema,
“Huyu ndiye Mwanangu mpendwa, ninayependezwa naye.”
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Καὶ ἰδού, φωνὴ ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν, λέγουσα, Οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν ᾧ εὐδόκησα.
Kai idou, phōnē ek tōn ouranōn, legousa, Houtos estin ho huios mou ho agapētos, en hō eudokēsa.
