Luke 4
1 Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
Kisha, Yesu akiwa amejaa Roho Mtakatifu, alirudi kutoka Mto Jordani, na aliongozwa na Roho jangwani
2 where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.
kwa siku arobaini, na huko alijaribiwa na Ibilisi. Wakati huo hakula chochote, na mwisho wa wakati huo alihisi njaa.
3 The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”
Ibilisi akamwambia, “Kama wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, liamru jiwe hili kuwa mkate.”
4 But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”
Yesu akamjibu, “Imeandikwa; 'mtu hataishi kwa mkate pekee.”
5 Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.
Kisha Ibilisi alimwongoza juu kwenye kilele cha mlima, na akamwonyesha falme zote za dunia kwa muda mfupi.
6 “I will give You authority over all these kingdoms and all their glory,” he said. “For it has been relinquished to me, and I can give it to anyone I wish.
Ibilisi akamwambia, “Nitakupa mamlaka ya kutawala falme hizi zote pamoja na fahari zake. Naweza kufanya hivyo kwa sababu vyote vimekabidhiwa kwangu nivitawale, na ninaweza kumpa yeyote nitakaye kumpa.
7 So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”
Kwahiyo, kama utaniinamia na kuniabudu, vitu hivi vyote vitakuwa vyako.”
8 But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”
Lakini Yesu alijibu na kumwambia, “Imeandikwa, “lazima umwabudu Bwana Mungu wako, na lazima umtumikie Yeye peke yake.”
9 Then the devil led Him to Jerusalem and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple. “If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down from here.
Baadaye Ibilisi alimwongoza Yesu hadi Yerusalemu na kumweka sehemu ya juu kabisa ya jengo la hekalu na kumwambia, “Kama wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, jitupe chini kutoka hapa.
10 For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully;
Kwa sababu imeandikwa, “Atawaagiza malaika zake wakutunze na kukulinda,
11 and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”
na watakuinua juu mikononi mwao ili kwamba usiumize miguu yako juu ya jiwe.”
12 But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
Yesu akijibu alimwambia, “Imenenwa, “usimjaribu Bwana Mungu wako.”
13 When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.
Ibilisi alipomaliza kumjaribu Yesu, alienda zake na kumwacha hadi wakati mwingine.
14 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.
Kisha Yesu alirudi Galilaya kwa nguvu za Roho, na habari kumhusu yeye zikaenea na kusambaa katika mikoa jirani yote.
15 He taught in their synagogues and was glorified by everyone.
Alifundisha katika masinagogi yao, na kila mmoja alimsifu.
16 Then Jesus came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. As was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath. And when He stood up to read,
Siku moja alikwenda Nazareti, mji ambao alilelewa na kukulia. Kama ilivyokuwa desturi yake aliingia kwenye sinagogi siku ya sabato, na alisimama kusoma maandiko.
17 the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:
Alikabidhiwa gombo la nabii Isaya, hivyo, alilifungua gombo na akatafuta sehemu iliyoandikwa,
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed,
“Roho wa Bwana yuu juu yangu, kwa sababu alinitia mafuta kuhubiri habari njema kwa maskini. Amenituma kutangaza uhuru kwa wafungwa, na kuwafanya wasioona waweze kuona tena. Kuwaweka huru wale wanaogandamizwa,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
kuutangaza mwaka ambao Bwana ataonesha wema wake.”
20 Then He rolled up the scroll, returned it to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on Him,
Kisha akalifunga gombo, akamrudishia kiongozi wa sinagogi, na akaketi chini. Macho ya watu wote waliokuwa katika sinagogi yalimwangalia yeye.
21 and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
Alianza kuzungumza nao akisema, “Leo andiko hili limetimizwa masikioni mwenu.”
22 All spoke well of Him and marveled at the gracious words that came from His lips. “Isn’t this the son of Joseph?” they asked.
Kila mmoja pale alishuhudia kile alichokisema Yesu, na wengi miongoni mwao walishangazwa na maneno ya hekima yaliyokuwa yakitoka katika kinywa chake. Walikuwa wakisema, “huyu ni kijana tu wa Yusufu, siyo hivyo?”
23 Jesus said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to Me: ‘Physician, heal yourself! Do here in Your hometown what we have heard that You did in Capernaum.’”
Yesu akawaambia, “hakika mtasema methali hii kwangu, “Tabibu, jiponye mwenyewe. Chochote tulichosikia ukifanya Kapernaumu, kifanye hapa pia kijijini kwako.”
24 Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.
Pia alisema, “hakika nawaambia ninyi, hakuna nabii anayekubalika katika nchi yake.”
25 But I tell you truthfully that there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and great famine swept over all the land.
Lakini nawaambia ninyi kweli kwamba kulikuwa na wajane wengi Israel katika kipindi cha Eliya, wakati mbingu ilipofungwa kusiwe na nvua kwa miaka mitatu na nusu, wakati kulipokuwa na njaa kubwa katika nchi yote.
26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.
Lakini Eliya hakutumwa kwa yeyote mmoja wao, lakini kwa mjane mmoja tu aliyeishi Sarepta karibu na mji wa Sidoni.
27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet. Yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.”
Pia, kulikuwa na wakoma wengi Israel katika kipindi cha Elisha nabii, lakini hakuna hatammoja wao aliyeponywa isipokuwa Naamani mtu wa Siria.
28 On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.
Watu wote ndani ya sinagogi walijawa na gadhabu walipoyasikia haya yote.
29 They got up, drove Him out of the town, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw Him over the cliff.
Walisimama na kumsukumizia nje ya mji, na kumwongoza mpaka kwenye ukingo wa mlima wa mji ambapo mji wao ulijengwa juu yake, ili waweze kumtupa chini.
30 But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.
Lakini alipita salama katikati yao na akaenda zake.
31 Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.
Kisha alitelemkia Kapernaumu, katika mji wa Galilaya. Sabato moja alikuwa akifundisha watu ndani ya sinagogi.
32 They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.
Walishangazwa na mafundisho yake, kwasababu alifundisha kwa mamlaka.
33 In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,
Sasa siku hiyo ndani ya sinagogi, kulikuwa na mtu aliyekuwa na roho ya pepo mchafu, na alilia kwa sauti ya juu,
34 “Ha! What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”
“Tuna nini nawe, Yesu wa Nazareti? Umekuja kutuangamiza? Ninajua wewe ni nani! Wewe ni mtakatifu wa Mungu!”
35 But Jesus rebuked the demon. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!” At this, the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without harming him.
Yesu alimkemea pepo akisema, “Nyamaza kimya, na umtoke mtu huyu!” Pepo yule alipomtupa mtu yule chini katikati yao, alimtoka yule mtu bila ya kumsababishia maumivu yoyote.
36 All the people were overcome with amazement and asked one another, “What is this message? With authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”
Watu wote walishangaa, na waliendelea kuzungumzia jambo hilo kila mmoja na mwenzake. Wakasema, “Ni maneno ya aina gani haya?” Anawaamuru roho wachafu kwa mamlaka na nguvu na watondoka.”
37 And the news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding region.
Hivyo, habari juu ya Yesu zilienea kila sehemu katika maeneo yanayozunguka mkoa huo.
38 After Jesus had left the synagogue, He went to the home of Simon, whose mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever. So they appealed to Jesus on her behalf,
Kisha Yesu aliondoka katika mji huo na akaingia katika nyumba ya Simoni. Sasa, mama mkwe wake na Simoni alikuwa anaumwa homa kali, na wakamsihi kwa niaba yake.
39 and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.
Hivyo, Yesu alimsogelea, akaikemea ile homa na ikamwachia. Ghafla alisimama na akaanza kuwatumikia.
40 At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.
Jua lilipokuwa likizama, watu walimletea Yesu kila mmoja aliyekuwa mgonjwa wa maradhi ya aina mbalimbali. Aliweka mikono yake juu ya kila mgonjwa na akawaponya wote.
41 Demons also came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But He rebuked the demons and would not allow them to speak, because they knew He was the Christ.
Mapepo pia yaliwatoka wengi wao yakilia kwa sauti na kusema, “Wewe ni mwana wa Mungu!” Yesu aliwakemea mapepo na hakuwaruhusu waongee, kwa sababu walijua kwamba yeye alikuwa ni Kristo.
42 At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place, and the crowds were looking for Him. They came to Him and tried to keep Him from leaving.
Wakati kulipopambazuka, alienda eneo lisilokuwa na watu. Makutano ya watu walikuwa wakimtafuta na wakaja katika eneo alilokuwapo. Walijaribu kumzuia asiende mbali na wao.
43 But Jesus told them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well, because that is why I was sent.”
Lakini akawaambia, “Lazima pia nihubiri habari njema za ufalme wa Mungu katika miji mingine mingi, kwa kuwa hii ndiyo sababu nilitumwa hapa.”
44 And He continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea.
Kisha aliendelea kuhubiri ndani ya masinagogi katika uyahudi wote.
