Maandiko Matakatifu humwita nabii atakayekuja kwa majina mengi, kama vile mfalme au nabii, Mesia, na Masihi, ambalo lina maana ya "mkombozi". Majina haya yote ni vyeo vilivyopewa nabii atakayekuja, na pia yanatoa maelezo kuhusu nabii huyu mkuu. Hata hivyo, cheo "Masihi" ndicho maarufu zaidi, na hiyo ni kwa sababu ya umuhimu wa cheo hiki miongoni mwa Mayahudi.

The Holy Scriptures call the coming prophet by many names, such as the king or the prophet, the Mesia, and the Messiah, which means the “savior”, all these names are titles given to the coming prophet, and they also give a description of this great prophet. However, the title “the Messiah” is the most famous title, and that is because of the importance of this title among the Jews.

Baadhi ya watu wanaweza kudai kwamba cheo hiki kimekusudiwa kwa Yesu peke yake.

Some may claim that this title is exclusively meant for Jesus (PBUH).

Kujibu hilo, tunasema kwamba kumwita Masihi ni cheo na si jina la kibinafsi. Mayahudi huwaita manabii wao, wafalme wao, na hata wafalme wengine kwa cheo hicho. Cheo "Masihi" kinatokana na neno la Kisemiti "Masaha", ambalo lina maana ya kupaka mafuta, kwa kuwa Mayahudi walikuwa wakiwapaka mafuta miili ya wafalme na manabii wao, nao waliwaita Masihi hata pale ambapo hawakuwa wamepakwa mafuta.

To answer that, we say that calling him the Messiah is a title and not a personal name. The Jews call their prophets, kings and even other kings by that title. This title “Messiah” comes from the Semitic word "Masaha" which means to anoint, for the Jews used to anoint the bodies of their kings and prophets, they used to call them Messiahs even though they were not anointed.

Koreshi, mfalme wa Uajemi, aliitwa Masihi: "Bwana asema hivi kwa mpakwa mafuta wake, kwa Koreshi" (Isaya 45:1). Daudi pia aliitwa masihi: "Huwaonyesha rehema wapakwa mafuta wake, Daudi na uzao wake hata milele" (Zaburi 18:50).

Cyrus, the Persian king, was called Messiah "Thus said the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus" (Isaiah 45:1). David also was called a messiah "And shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed forevermore" (Psalms 18:50)

Sauli, mfalme, aliitwa masihi. "Naye Daudi akamwambia Abishai, Usimwue; kwa maana ni nani awezaye kunyosha mkono wake juu ya mtiwa mafuta wa BWANA, akawa hana hatia?" (1 Samweli 26:7-9)

Saul, the king, was called messiah "And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the Lord’s anointed, and be guiltless?" (1 Samuel 26:7-9)

Katika Zaburi, "Msiwaguse watiwa-mafuta wangu, wala msiwadhuru manabii wangu." (Zaburi 105:15), na katika Kitabu cha Wafalme, kuhusu makuhani watiwa-mafuta, tunasoma: "Eliya akajibu, akamwambia yule nahodha wa hamsini, Ikiwa mimi ni mtu wa Mungu, na moto ushuke kutoka mbinguni, ukuteketeze wewe na hao hamsini wako. Basi moto ukashuka kutoka mbinguni, ukamteketeza yeye na hao hamsini wake." (2 Wafalme 1:10)

In Psalms, "Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm." (Psalms 105:15), and in the Book of Kings, regarding the messiah priests, we read: "And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume you and your fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty." (2 Kings 1:10)

Ni wazi kwamba jina hili tukufu "masihi" halikuwa jina la pekee la Yesu (AS). Lilikuwa jina lililopewa "nabii aliyetarajiwa", ambaye Wayahudi, wana wa Israeli, wamekuwa wakimngojea, kwa sababu Mungu atampa ufalme, mafanikio na baraka kubwa zaidi kuliko zile alizopewa wafalme waliopakwa mafuta wa Wayahudi.

It is clear that this honorable title “messiah” was not an exclusive title for Jesus (PBUH). It was a title given to the "expected prophet" for whom, the Jews, the children of Israel have been waiting, because God will grant him a kingdom, success and blessings far much greater than those that given to the anointed kings of the Jews.

Masihi ni jina la "nabii aliyeahidiwa" ambaye Wayahudi walikuwa wakimngoja na kumtarajia, ndiyo maana walijiuliza walipomwona Yohana Mbatizaji kama yeye ndiye Masihi anayefuata au la, "yeye ni Nabii Aliyeahidiwa wa Biblia" (٦)

The messiah is a title for the "expected prophet" for whom the Jews were waiting and expecting, that is why they wondered when they saw John the Baptist whether if he was the next messiah or not, "he The P romised Prophet of the Bible (٦)

Alikiri wala hakukana, bali alikiri, "Mimi si Masihi." Basi wakamwuliza, "Je, basi wewe ni nani? Wewe ni Eliya?" (Yohana 1:21-22)

admitted and did not deny it, but admitted, "I am not the Messiah." So they asked him, "What are you then? Are you Elijah?" (John1/21-22)

Wakati umati wa Wayahudi ulipoona miujiza ya Yesu, walitumia jina "Masihi": "Masihi atakapokuja, je, atafanya ishara nyingi zaidi kuliko mtu huyu alizofanya?" (Yohana 7:30-31)

When the crowd of Jews saw the miracles of Jesus (PBUH), they used the title “messiah”: "When the Messiah comes, will he perform more signs than this man has done?" (John 7/30-31)

"Nabii aliyetarajiwa" pia aliitwa messia, ambayo ina maana sawa na Masihi, kama inavyoonekana katika Kitabu cha Yohana: "Tumemwona Masihi" 29 (ambalo limetafsiriwa kuwa Mpakwa mafuta). (Yohana 1:41) Neno la Kisiria "ma sheeh" hutamkwa "messia" katika lugha ambazo hazina herufi "ح", ambayo haina mfano katika Kiingereza lakini inakaribiana na herufi "H".

The "expected prophet" was also called messia which gives the same meaning of messiah, that can be found in the Book of John "We have found the Messiah" 29 (which is translated Anointed)." (John 1/41) the Serianic word "ma sheeh" is pronounced "messia" in languages that do not have the letter " "ح which has no equal in English but it is close to the letter "H".

Baadhi ya watu, nao wana haki ya kufanya hivyo, wanaweza kudai kwamba tuwasilishe aya au aya kadhaa zinazoonyesha wazi na bila shaka jina na sifa za Muhammad ﷺ. Hata hivyo, kuna masuala mawili yanayohusiana na Biblia Takatifu na tafsiri zake, ambayo yanazuia uwazi wa unabii huu. Masuala haya mawili yanajulikana vizuri kwa wale wanaoifahamu Biblia Takatifu, wale wanaojua sababu ya unabii huu kupotea au kufichwa kwa makusudi.

Some people and they have the right of doing so, might demand that we have to present the verse or verses which clearly and indisputably indicate the name and description of Muhammad (PBUH). However, there are two issues related to the Holy Bible and its translations, which block the clarity of these prophecies. These two issues are well known to those who are acquainted with the Holy Bible, those who know the reason why these prophecies are lost or intentionally suppressed.

Suala la kwanza ni kwamba Wayahudi na Wakristo wana desturi ya kutafsiri majina kwa maana zake, wakitaja maana tu bila jina, na wanaweza kuongeza maelezo kwenye sentensi na kuyaingiza ndani ya muktadha. Matokeo yake, unabii nyingi zilizo wazi zinapoteza dalili zake. Mfano wa unabii huu ni unabii wa Yesu kuhusu "Parakletos", ambayo katika tafsiri ya kisasa ni "Mfariji". Mfano mwingine ni unabii wa nabii Hagai, unaoonyesha kuja kwa (Mehmaad), lakini watafsiri wa Biblia Takatifu wamebadilisha maneno hayo ili kuficha dalili hii iliyo wazi na ya moja kwa moja.

The first issue is that the Jews and the Christians have the habit of translating names into their meanings, stating the meaning only without the name, and they may add a commentary to the sentence and insert it into the context. Consequently, many clear prophecies will lose their indications. An example of these prophecies is Jesus’ prophecy about the “Parakletos”, which is “the comforter” in modern translation. Another example is the prophet Haggai’s prophecy, that indicates the coming of (Mehmaad), but the translators of the Holy Bible changed it in order to suppress this clear and direct indication.

“na hazina za mataifa yote zitaingia” (Hagai 2/7).

“and the treasures of all the nations will come in” (Haggai 2/7).

Katika Zaburi (84:6), (KJV 1959 na tafsiri nyingi za Kiingereza), jina la mji wa Masihi linatajwa. Limeitwa "bonde la Bacah," Kiebrania [ בְּעֵמֶק הַבָּכָא ]. Watafsiri wa Biblia Takatifu wameitafsiri kuwa "bonde la kilio," ili tu kumpotosha msomaji asijue kwamba "Bacah" ni mji wa kuzaliwa kwa Muhammad ﷺ.

In Psalms (84/6), (KJV 1959 and the majority of English translations), the name of the messiah’s city is mentioned. It called it “Bacah valley” “Hebrew [ בְּעֵמֶק הַבָּכָא ]. The translators of the Holy Bible translated it into “the valley of weeping”, only to misguide the reader of knowing that "Bacah" is the town of Muhammad’s (PBUH) nativity.

{Hakika Nyumba ya kwanza iliyowekwa kwa ajili ya watu ni ile iliyo Bakkah (Makka), yenye baraka na mwongozo kwa Al-'Alamîn (watu na majini) } (Al-Imran:

{Verily, the first House (of worship) appointed for mankind was that at Bakkah (Makkah), full of blessing, and a guidance for Al-'Alamîn (the mankind and jinns) } (Al-Emran:

96).

96).

Katika kazi yake maarufu (Izhar al-Haq) "Kufunua Ukweli", Rahmatu Allah Al-Hindi anatoa mifano 13 ya tafsiri hizi potofu. Amelinganisha tafsiri mbalimbali za Biblia, ili kuthibitisha jinsi vitendo hivyo vinavyoficha muktadha wa asili.

In his celebrated work (Eth harul Haq) “The truth revealed", Rahmatu Allah Al-Hindi, gives 13 examples of these mistranslations, he made a comparison between different translations of the Bible, to prove how these actions suppress the original context.

Alisema, “Katika toleo la (1811) la Biblia Takatifu, “Ibrahimu akaliita jina la mahali pale BWANA Atatoa rehema kwa wageni wake” (Mwanzo 22:14), mtafsiri aliliweka badala ya jina la Kiebrania maana yake, katika toleo la Darby (1889), “Akaliita jina la mahali pale Yehova-yire”. Kwa kufanya hivyo, jina sahihi lilipotea, na maana iliyokusudiwa ya mstari huo ilibadilika kabisa”.

He said, “In (1811) Holy Bible’s edition "Abraham called the name of that place The LORD Will mercy its visitors" (Genesis 22/14), the translator replaced the Hebrew name by its meaning, in Darby edition (1889), “Called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh”. By doing so, the correct name was lost, and the intended meaning of the verse was completely changed”.

Aliongeza:

He added:

Hatuna shaka kwamba watafsiri hawa, waliofanya hivyo, walikuwa na uwezo wa kubadilisha kipande (Mjumbe wa Mungu) kuwa maneno mengine, kama walivyobadilisha maneno mengine.

“We have no doubt that these translators, who had done that, were capable of changing the fragment (Messenger of God) to different words, as they have changed other words”.

Kuhusiana na hili, Al-Hindi alinukuu kutoka kitabu cha Haydar Al-Qurashee "Kholasat Sayf Al-Muslemeen" (Kiini cha Upanga wa Waislamu), kwamba kasisi wa Kiarmenia Auskan alitafsiri Kitabu cha Isaya kwa lugha ya Kiarmenia mwaka 1666, na kikachapishwa mwaka 1733.

In this regards, Al-Hindi quoted from Haydar Al-Qurashee’s book "Kholasat Sayf Al-Muslemeen" (the Essence of Muslim’s sword), “that the Armenian priest Auskan translated the Book of Isaiah into the Armenian language in the year 1666, and it was printed in 1733

kwa Anthony Portolly, mchapishaji. Katika tafsiri hii, katika sura ya 42 iliandikwa: "Mwimbieni Bwana wimbo mpya, alama ya mamlaka yake iko mgongoni mwake, na jina lake ni Ahmad".

by Anthony Portolly press. In this translation, in chapter 42 it was written: “Sing to the Lord a new song, the mark of his authority is in his back, and his name is Ahmad”.

Suala la pili ni kwamba Biblia Takatifu imejaa lugha ya mafumbo na ishara, hasa inapozungumzia wakati ujao.

The second issue is that the Holy Bible is metaphoric and full of symbols and indications specially when talking about the future.

Dkt. Samaan Kahloon aliandika katika kitabu chake "the Precious Holy Bible seekers’ guide", "semi katika Biblia Takatifu ni za kimafumbo na za kisitiari sana, hasa katika Agano la Kale".

Dr. Samaan Kahloon wrote in his book "the Precious Holy Bible seekers’ guide", “expressions in the Holy Bible are very metaphoric and mysterious especially in the Old Testament”.

Pia aliandika, "Misemo katika Agano Jipya pia ina sana lugha ya kiistiara, hasa "mazungumzo ya Mwokozi wetu", na kwa sababu baadhi ya walimu wa Kikristo walitumia mbinu za tafsiri ya kihalisi, maoni mengi ya uongo na yaliyopotoshwa yalienea kila mahali…"2

He also wrote, “Expressions in the New Testament are also very metaphoric, specially "causerie of our Savior", and because some of the Christian teachers used literal interpretation methods, many of the false and corrupted opinions were spread around…”2

Kwa hiyo, msomaji anapaswa kutambua matatizo tunayokabiliana nayo tunapotafuta neno au jina la asili lililofichwa na watafsiri. Msomaji pia ataweza kutambua, kwa kutumia hisia zake mwenyewe, asili ya matumizi ya Biblia Takatifu ya sitiari na mafumbo katika kueleza ukweli.

Therefore, the reader should realize the difficulties we are facing while we search for the original word or name that was suppressed by the translators. The reader will also realize, using his own intuition, the nature of the Holy Bible’s use of metaphors and puzzles to explain facts.

Watu wanaotumia mbinu ya Gematria2 au mbinu nyinginezo zinazofanana ili kuthibitisha kwamba vitabu vyao vina unabii mwingi ambao umetimia, kama vile kuanzishwa kwa Umoja wa Kisovieti na Israeli, na hata watu binafsi kama Henry Kissinger, hawataona matatizo haya.

The people who use either the Gematriacal1 method or the like to prove that their books contain many prophecies, that have been realized, such as the establishment of the Soviet Union and Israel, and even individuals like Henry Kissinger, will not notice these difficulties.

Wanadai pia kwamba kuna unabii mamia unaoashiria kuja kwa Yesu (PBUH). Wanaamini kwamba kuna unabii elfu moja kuhusu Yesu (PBUH) katika Agano la Kale.

They also claim that there are hundreds of prophecies indicating the arrival of Jesus (PBUH). They believe that there are one thousand prophecies about Jesus (PBUH) in the Old Testament.

Je, inawezekana kwamba Biblia Takatifu haina unabii wowote kuhusu mtu huyo (Muhammad, SAW) aliyebadilisha mkondo wa historia kwa jina la Allah? Je, hakupaswa kuwa na sehemu ya unabii huu wote, angalau unabii mmoja tu wa onyo au wa kutabiri kumhusu yeye au ujumbe wake? Wale wanaodai kuwa wao peke yao ndio wenye sifa za kutatua mafumbo na alama za Biblia Takatifu wanakosa jibu wanapojibu swali hili.

Is it possible that the Holy Bible does not contain any prophecy about the man (Muhammad, PBUH) who changed the course of history in the name of Allah? Should not he have a share of all these prophecies, at least just one prophecy warning or foretelling about him or his message? Those who claim that they are the only qualified individuals to solve the Holy Bible’s puzzles and symbols are tonguetied when answering this question.

Kuonekana kwa neno la Muhammad ﷺ na dini yake ni ufunguo unaofungua mlango wa unabii wa Agano la Kale na Agano Jipya. Katika Torati kuna unabii unaofichua ukweli na kutoa wazi sharti na maelezo ya nabii huyo. Katika Kitabu cha Kumbukumbu la Torati: "Lakini nabii yule atakayethubutu kusema neno kwa jina langu, ambalo sikumwamuru aseme, au atakayesema kwa jina la miungu mingine, nabii huyo atakufa… usimwogope."

The appearance of Muhammad's (PBUH) word and religion is the key that opens the door to the prophecies of the Old and the New Testament. In the Torah, there is a prophecy that uncovers the truth and clearly gives the condition and description of the prophet. In the Book of Deuteronomy "But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die… thou shall not be afraid of him.

"(Kumbukumbu la Torati 18/20-22)

" (Deuteronomy 18/20-22)

Gamalieli, Mfarisayo, alisema maneno ya kweli: "Na sasa nawaambia, waacheni watu hawa, mwaache peke yao; kwa maana shauri hili au kazi hii ikiwa ya wanadamu, itapotea; lakini ikiwa ya Mungu, hamtaweza kuiangamiza; msije mkaonekana hata mnapigana na Mungu" (Matendo 5:38-39). Ujumbe wa Nabii Muhammad ﷺ haukupotea; badala yake, ulitawala dunia kwa karne nyingi.

Gamaleil, the Pharisee, spoke true words: "And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to naught But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it; lest haply you be found even to fight against God" (Acts 5:38-39). The message of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has not perished; instead, it ruled the world for many centuries.

Nabii Muhammad ﷺ aliokolewa na majaribio ya kuuawa, alawashinda maadui zake, na ujumbe wake pamoja na dini yake vilienea duniani kote; hii ni dalili na ushahidi wa uaminifu wake, ikhlasi yake, na unabii wake ﷺ. "Kwa maana BWANA huyajua njia ya wenye haki; bali njia ya waovu itapotea." (Zaburi 1:6).

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was saved from murder attempts, he conquered his enemies, and his message and religion spread all over the world, this is evidence and proof of his honesty, sincerity and his prophet-hood. "For the Lord knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish." (Psalms 1/6).

"Utawaangamiza wale wanaosema uongo; Bwana atamchukia mtu mwenye damu na mdanganyifu." (Zaburi 5:6).

“You shall destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man." (Psalms: 5/6).

Aya hizi zinaonyesha ukweli wa Muhammad ﷺ.

These verses indicate the truthfulness of Muhammad's (PBUH)

unabii na ujumbe, kwa sababu aliokolewa na madhara, aliweza kufikisha ujumbe, na kwa sababu ya jinsi ujumbe wake ulivyoenea duniani kote.

prophet-hood and message, because he was saved from harm, was able to deliver the message, and because of how his message was spread across the world.
