YESU ANATABIRI KUJA KWA PARAKLETOS
JESUS PROPHESIZES THE PARAKLETOS
Utabiri mkuu kuhusu nabii anayetarajiwa, katika Agano Jipya, ni unabii wa Yesu (SAW) kuhusu kuja kwa Parakletos duniani.
The greatest prophecies about the expected prophet, in the New Testament, are the prophecies of Jesus (PBUH) about the arrival of the Parakletos to this world.
Yohana ndiye mwinjilisti pekee aliyetaja unabii huu endelevu katika kitabu chake. Akiwashauri wanafunzi wake, Yesu alisema:
John is the only evangelist who mentioned these continuous prophecies in his book. Advising his disciples, Jesus said:
"Kama mnanipenda, mtashika amri zangu. Nami nitamwomba Baba, naye atawapa msaidizi mwingine, awe pamoja nanyi milele; ndiye Roho wa kweli; ambaye ulimwengu hauwezi kumpokea, kwa sababu haumwoni wala haumjui. Ninyi mnamjua, kwa maana anakaa pamoja nanyi, na atakuwa ndani yenu. Sitawaacha ninyi kama yatima; nitakuja kwenu. Bado kitambo kidogo, na ulimwengu hautaniona tena; lakini ninyi mtaniona; kwa sababu mimi ninaishi, nanyi pia mtaishi. Siku hiyo mtajua kwamba mimi ninamo ndani ya Baba yangu, nanyi mnamo ndani yangu, nami ndani yenu. Yeye aliye na amri zangu, na kuzishika, ndiye anayenipenda; na yeye anayenipenda atapendwa na Baba yangu, nami nitampenda, na kujidhihirisha kwake. Yuda (si Iskariote) akamwambia, Bwana, imekuwaje wewe utujidhihirishe sisi, wala si kwa ulimwengu?"
"If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper, to be with you forever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him; for he dwells with you, and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me: because I live, you also will live. In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. Whoever has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is who loves me: and he; who loves me, will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and manifest myself to him. Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, Lord, how is it that you manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?
Yesu akamjibu, "Mtu akinipenda atashika neno langu, na Baba yangu atampenda, nasi tutakuja kwake na kufanya makao yetu kwake. Asiyenipenda hashiki maneno yangu; na neno mnalosikia si langu, bali ni la Baba aliyenituma. Mambo haya nimewaambia nikiwa bado pamoja nanyi. Lakini Msaidizi, Roho Mtakatifu, ambaye Baba atamtuma kwa jina langu, ndiye atakayewafundisha mambo yote, na kuwakumbusha yote niliyowaambia. Amani nawaachia, amani yangu nawapa; si kama ulimwengu unavyotoa ndivyo ninavyowapa. Mioyo yenu isifadhaike, wala isiogope. Mliisikia nilivyowaambia, Naenda zangu, nami nitakuja kwenu. Kama mngenipenda, mngefurahi kwa sababu naenda kwa Baba; kwa maana Baba ni mkuu kuliko mimi. Sasa nimewaambia kabla hayajatokea, ili hapo yatakapotokea mpate kuamini. Sitasema nanyi tena kwa wingi, kwa maana mtawala wa ulimwengu huu anakuja, wala hana chochote juu yangu."
Jesus answered him, If anyone loves me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words: and the word that you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me. These things I have spoken to you, while I am still with you. But the helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance, all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let them be afraid. You heard my say to you, I am going away, and I will come to you. If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father: for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place, you may believe. I will no longer talk much with you: for the ruler of this world is coming, and has no claim on me." (John: 14/15-30).
Katika sura ya 15, Yesu aliwashauri wanafunzi wake, akiwaomba washike amri zake. Alisema, "Lakini msaidizi atakapokuja, ambaye nitamtuma kwenu kutoka kwa Baba, Roho wa kweli, anayetoka kwa Baba, yeye atanishuhudia mimi:
In chapter 15, Jesus advised his disciples asking them to keep his commandments. He says, "But when the helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me:
Nanyi pia mtatoa ushahidi, kwa kuwa mmekuwa pamoja nami tangu mwanzo. Mambo haya nimewaambia ili msikwazwe. Watawafukuza katika masinagogi. Naam, saa inakuja ambapo kila atakayewaua atafikiri kwamba anatoa huduma kwa Mungu. Watayatenda hayo kwa sababu hawakumjua Baba wala mimi. Lakini nimewaambia mambo haya, ili saa yao itakapofika mkumbuke kwamba niliwaambia. Sikuwaambia mambo haya tangu mwanzo, kwa sababu nilikuwa pamoja nanyi. Lakini sasa ninakwenda kwa yule aliyenituma, wala hakuna miongoni mwenu anayeniuliza, 'Unakwenda wapi?' Lakini kwa kuwa nimewaambia mambo haya, huzuni imejaa mioyoni mwenu. Hata hivyo, nawaambia kweli: ni faida kwenu mimi kuondoka, kwa maana nisipoondoka, Msaidizi hatakuja kwenu. Lakini nikiondoka, nitamtuma kwenu. Naye atakapokuja, atauthibitishia ulimwengu juu ya dhambi, haki na hukumu: juu ya dhambi, kwa kuwa hawaniamini; juu ya haki, kwa kuwa ninakwenda kwa Baba, nanyi hamtaniona tena; juu ya hukumu, kwa kuwa mtawala wa ulimwengu huu amehukumiwa. Bado ninayo mengi ya kuwaambia, lakini kwa sasa hamwezi kuyabeba. Roho wa kweli atakapokuja, atawaongoza katika kweli yote, kwa maana hatasema kwa mamlaka yake mwenyewe, bali atasema yote anayoyasikia, naye atawatangazia mambo yajayo. Atanitukuza, kwa maana atachukua vilivyo vyangu na kuwatangazia.
And you also will bear witness, because you have been with from the beginning. These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: "I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me. But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you. "I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?' But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. " (John: 15/26 - 27, 16/ 1 -14).

But the system instruction says the user's message is always text to translate, so I should translate it into Swahili. Translation: Katika sentensi hizi, Yesu (PBUH) anazungumzia sifa za nabii atakayekuja baada yake, basi nabii huyo ni nani?
In these sentences, Jesus (PBUH) talks about the characteristics of the prophet who comes after him, so who is that prophet?
Parakletos kulingana na Wakristo
The Parakletos according to Christians
Jibu la Mkristo ni kwamba huyo anayekuja ni Roho Mtakatifu aliyewajia wanafunzi siku ya hamsini ili kuwafariji kwa kuondokewa kwao na Yesu (PBUH), na hapo "siku ya Pentekoste ilipofika, wote walikuwa pamoja mahali pamoja. Ghafla kukatokea kutoka mbinguni sauti kama upepo mkali uliovuma, ikaijaza nyumba yote waliyokuwa wameketi."
Christian’s response is, that the coming is the Holy Spirit that came to the disciples on the fiftieth day to give them condolences for their loss of Jesus (PBUH), and there “when the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.
"Na ndimi zilizogawanyika kama za moto zikawatokea, zikakaa juu ya kila mmoja wao. Wakajazwa wote Roho Mtakatifu, wakaanza kusema kwa lugha nyingine, kama Roho alivyowajalia kutamka." (Matendo 2:1-4). Agano Jipya halitaji jambo lolote kuhusu tukio hili zaidi ya lililotajwa hapo juu.
And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them, and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." (Acts: 2/1-4). The New Testament does not mention anything, other than what mentioned above, regarding this event.
Katika tafsiri yake ya Kitabu cha Yohana, Padre Athanasius anasema:
In his interpretation of the Book of John, priest Athanasius says:
Parakletos ni Roho Mtakatifu mwenyewe, Mfariji, "Lakini Msaidizi, Roho Mtakatifu, ambaye Baba atamtuma kwa jina langu" (Yohana: 14/26), na yeye ndiye aliyewajia siku ya hamsini, (Matendo: 2/1-4)
“The Parakletos is the Holy Spirit himself, the Comforter, "The Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name." (John: 14/26), and he is the one who came to them on the fiftieth day, (Acts: 2/1-4)
ambapo, walijazwa Roho, wakaanza kuhubiri, naye yuko pamoja na kanisa ndani ya waumini, na ni neema iliyounganishwa na imani na ubatizo.1
whereby, they were filled with him, and set out to preach, and he is with the church within believers, and he is a grace joined with belief and baptism.1
Kamusi ya Kitheolojia ya Makasisi ilisema: "Neno la Kigiriki Parakletos lilitokana na maandishi ya Mtakatifu Yohana. Halionyeshi asili ya mtu, bali kazi yake. Ni kwa yule anayetekeleza nafasi ya msaidizi chanya, wakili na mtetezi."
The Clerical Dictionary of Theology said: "The Greek word Parakletos, was derived from saint John's writing. It does not represent the nature of a person, but his job. It is for the one who plays the role as a positive assistant, an attorney and a supporter.
Parakletos kwa mujibu wa Waislamu:
The Parakletos according to the Muslims:
Waislamu wanaamini kwamba yaliyoandikwa katika Kitabu cha Yohana kuhusu Mfariji, kiongozi ajaye wa ulimwengu huu, ni unabii kutoka kwa Yesu kuhusu Nabii wetu Muhammad ﷺ, na jambo hilo ni wazi kwa sababu kadhaa:
Muslims believe that what came in the Book of John about the Comforter, the coming leader of this world, is a prophecy from Jesus (PBUH) about our prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and that is clear for several reasons:
Mojawapo ya sababu hizi ni kwamba, neno "The Comforter" ni neno la kisasa ambalo lilibadilishwa katika tafsiri mpya za Agano Jipya, wakati tafsiri ya kale (Douay-Rheims Bible 1899)
One of these reasons is that, the phrase "The Comforter” is a modern phrase that was replaced in the new translations of the New Testament, while the ancient translation (Douay-Rheims Bible1899)
Alitumia neno la Kigiriki (Parakletos) kama lilivyo, jambo ambalo linafanywa na tafsiri nyingi za kimataifa.
used the Greek word (Parakletos) as it is which is practiced by many international translations.
Ili kufasiri neno la Kigiriki "Parakletos", tunasema, neno hili lenye asili ya Kigiriki linaweza kuwa moja kati ya maneno mawili pekee. Neno la kwanza ni "Paraklee tos", ambalo lina maana ya "Mfariji, msaidizi au wakala" kama Wakristo wanavyosema.
To interpret the Greek word "Parakletos" we say, This Greek originated word can only be one of two words.The first word is "Paraklee tos", which means “the Comforter, the helper or the agent” as the Christians say.
"Peroklotos" ni neno ambalo maana yake iko karibu na "Muhammad na Ahmad".
The second word is "Peroklotos", which is close in meaning to “Muhammad and Ahmad”.
Katika tafsiri yake ya Kitabu cha Yohana, Padre Athanasius anasema:
In his interpretation of the Book of John, priest Athanasius says:
"Ikiwa matamshi ya neno “parakleet” yatabadilishwa kidogo, linakuwa “Perklet”, ambalo linamaanisha “shukrani” au “kusifu”, karibu na neno Ahmad."1
"If the pronunciation of the word “parakleet” is slightly changed, it becomes " Perklet", which means “thankfulness” or “ Praising” which is close to the word Ahmad".1
Dkt. Carlo Nelno, mwenye shahada ya PhD katika fasihi ya Kigiriki ya kale ya Kiyahudi, aliulizwa mara moja na Abdul Wahab Al Najar kuhusu maana ya neno "PERKLOTOS", naye akasema: "Ni yule anayesifiwa mfululizo."
