John 8:44
Ninyi ni wa baba yenu, shetani, na mnataka kuzitenda tamaa za baba yenu. Alikuwa mwuaji tangu mwanzo na hawezi kusimama katika kweli kwa sababu kweli haimo ndani yake. Anapoongea uongo, anaongea kutoka kwenye asili yake kwa sababu ni mwongo na baba wa uongo.
John 8:44 · Biblia TakatifuJohn 8:44 in other translations
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

In context
41 Mnafanya kazi za baba yenu.” Wakamwambia, “Hatukuzaliwa katika uzinzi, tunaye Baba mmoja, Mungu.”
42 Yesu akawaambia, “Ikiwa Mungu ni Baba yenu, mngenipenda mimi, kwa maana nimetoka kwa Mungu; wala sikuja kwa nafsi yangu, bali yeye alinituma.
43 Kwa nini hamyaelewi maneno yangu? Kwa sababu hamuwezi kuvumilia kuyasikia maneno yangu.
44 Ninyi ni wa baba yenu, shetani, na mnataka kuzitenda tamaa za baba yenu. Alikuwa mwuaji tangu mwanzo na hawezi kusimama katika kweli kwa sababu kweli haimo ndani yake. Anapoongea uongo, anaongea kutoka kwenye asili yake kwa sababu ni mwongo na baba wa uongo.
45 Hata sasa, kwa sababu ninasema iliyo kweli, hamniamini.
46 Ni nani kati yenu anayenishuhudia kuwa nina dhambi? ikiwa ninasema iliyo kweli, kwa nini hamniamini?
47 Yeye aliye wa Mungu huyasikia maneno ya Mungu; ninyi hamyasikii kwa sababu ninyi si wa Mungu.”
