Matthew 4
1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
Kisha Roho alimwongoza Yesu mpaka jangwani ili ajaribiwe na Ibilisi.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
Akafunga siku arubaini mchana na usiku, na mwishowe akaona njaa.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
Basi, mshawishi akamjia, akamwambia, “Ikiwa wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, amuru mawe haya yawe mikate.”
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Yesu akamjibu, “Imeandikwa katika Maandiko Matakatifu: Binadamu hataishi kwa mikate tu, ila kwa kila neno asemalo Mungu.”
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka Yerusalemu, mji mtakatifu, akamweka juu ya mnara wa hekalu,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
akamwambia, “Ikiwa wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, jitupe chini; maana imeandikwa: Mungu atawaamuru malaika wake kwa ajili yako; watakuchukua mikononi mwao, usije ukajikwaa kwenye jiwe.”
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Yesu akamwambia, “Imeandikwa pia: Usimjaribu Bwana, Mungu wako.”
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka juu ya mlima mrefu, akamwonyesha falme zote za ulimwengu na fahari zake,
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
akamwambia, “Hivi vyote nitakupa kama tu ukipiga magoti na kuniabudu.”
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Hapo, Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda zako Shetani! Imeandikwa: Utamwabudu Bwana Mungu wako na kumtumikia yeye peke yake.”
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Basi, Ibilisi akamwacha, na malaika wakaja, wakamhudumia.
12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
Yesu aliposikia kwamba Yohane ametiwa gerezani alikwenda Galilaya.
13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
Aliondoka Nazareti, akaenda Kafarnaumu, mji ulio kando ya bahari ya Genesareti, mpakani mwa wilaya za Zabuloni na Naftali, akakaa huko.
14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
Ndivyo lilivyotimia lile neno lililosemwa kwa njia ya nabii Isaya:
15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, [by] the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
“Nchi ya Zabuloni na nchi ya Naftali, kuelekea baharini ng'ambo ya mto Yordani, Galilaya nchi ya watu wa Mataifa!
16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
Watu waliokaa gizani wameona mwanga mkubwa. Nao walioishi katika nchi ya giza na kivuli cha kifo, mwanga umewaangazia!”
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Tangu wakati huo Yesu alianza kuhubiri akisema, “Tubuni, maana ufalme wa mbinguni umekaribia!”
18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
Yesu alipokuwa anatembea kando ya ziwa Galilaya, aliwaona ndugu wawili wavuvi; Simoni (aitwae Petro) na Andrea, ndugu yake; walikuwa wakivua samaki kwa nyavu ziwani.
19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Basi, akawaambia, “Nifuateni, nami nitawafanya ninyi wavuvi wa watu.”
20 And they straightway left [their] nets, and followed him.
Mara wakaziacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata.
21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James [the son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
Alipokwenda mbele kidogo, aliwaona ndugu wengine wawili: Yakobo na Yohane, wana wa Zebedayo. Hao walikuwa ndani ya mashua pamoja na baba yao Zebedayo, wakitengeneza nyavu zao. Basi Yesu akawaita,
22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
nao mara wakaiacha mashua pamoja na baba yao, wakamfuata.
23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
Yesu alikuwa anakwenda kila mahali wilayani Galilaya, akifundisha katika masunagogi na kuhubiri Habari Njema juu ya ufalme wa Mungu. Aliponya kila namna ya maradhi na magonjwa waliyokuwa nayo watu.
24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
Habari zake zikaenea katika mkoa wote wa Siria. Wagonjwa wote wenye maradhi ya kila namna na wale waliosumbuliwa na kila namna ya taabu: waliopagawa na pepo, wenye kifafa na watu waliokuwa wamelemaa, walipelekwa kwake; naye akawaponya wote.
25 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and [from] Decapolis, and [from] Jerusalem, and [from] Judaea, and [from] beyond Jordan.
Makundi mengi ya watu kutoka Galilaya, Dekapoli, Yerusalemu, Yudea na ng'ambo ya mto Yordani, walimfuata.
