Matthew 4
1 Then, Jesus was led up into the wilderness, by the Spirit, to be tempted by the adversary;
Kisha Roho alimwongoza Yesu mpaka jangwani ili ajaribiwe na Ibilisi.
2 and, fasting forty days and forty nights, —afterwards, he hungered.
Akafunga siku arubaini mchana na usiku, na mwishowe akaona njaa.
3 And, coming near, the tempter said to him, —If thou art God’s, Son, speak! that, these stones, may become, loaves.
Basi, mshawishi akamjia, akamwambia, “Ikiwa wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, amuru mawe haya yawe mikate.”
4 But, he, answering, said, It is written, —Not on bread alone, shall man live, but on every declaration coming forth through the mouth of God.
Yesu akamjibu, “Imeandikwa katika Maandiko Matakatifu: Binadamu hataishi kwa mikate tu, ila kwa kila neno asemalo Mungu.”
5 Then, the adversary taketh him with him, unto the holy city, —and he set him upon the pinnacle of the temple;
Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka Yerusalemu, mji mtakatifu, akamweka juu ya mnara wa hekalu,
6 and saith to him—If thou art God’s, Son, cast thyself down, —for it is written, To his messengers, will he give charge concerning thee; and, on hands, will they bear thee up, lest once thou strike, against a stone, thy foot.
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 to him, Again, it is written, —Thou shalt not put to the test, the Lord thy God.
Yesu akamwambia, “Imeandikwa pia: Usimjaribu Bwana, Mungu wako.”
8 Again, the adversary taketh him with him, into an exceeding high mountain, —and pointeth out to him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory;
Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka juu ya mlima mrefu, akamwonyesha falme zote za ulimwengu na fahari zake,
9 and said to 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, Withdraw, Satan! for it is written, —The Lord thy God, shalt thou worship, and, to him alone, render divine service.
Hapo, Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda zako Shetani! Imeandikwa: Utamwabudu Bwana Mungu wako na kumtumikia yeye peke yake.”
11 Then, the adversary leaveth him, —and lo! messengers came near, and began ministering unto him.
Basi, Ibilisi akamwacha, na malaika wakaja, wakamhudumia.
12 And, hearing that, John, had been delivered up, he retired into Galilee;
Yesu aliposikia kwamba Yohane ametiwa gerezani alikwenda Galilaya.
13 and, forsaking Nazareth, he came and fixed his dwelling in Capernaum, which was by the lake, —within the bounds of Zebulun and Naphtali:
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 through Isaiah the prophet, saying:
Ndivyo lilivyotimia lile neno lililosemwa kwa njia ya nabii Isaya:
15 Land of Zebulun, and land of Naphtali, the lake-way across the Jordan, —Galilee of the nations,
“Nchi ya Zabuloni na nchi ya Naftali, kuelekea baharini ng'ambo ya mto Yordani, Galilaya nchi ya watu wa Mataifa!
16 The people that was sitting in darkness, a great light, beheld, —and, on them who were sitting in land and shade of death, Light rose on them.
Watu waliokaa gizani wameona mwanga mkubwa. Nao walioishi katika nchi ya giza na kivuli cha kifo, mwanga umewaangazia!”
17 From that time, began Jesus to be making proclamation, and saying, —Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens hath drawn near.
Tangu wakati huo Yesu alianza kuhubiri akisema, “Tubuni, maana ufalme wa mbinguni umekaribia!”
18 And, walking round beside the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren—Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, —casting a large fishing-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, Come after me, —and I will make you fishers, of men.
Basi, akawaambia, “Nifuateni, nami nitawafanya ninyi wavuvi wa watu.”
20 And, they, straightway, leaving the nets, followed him.
Mara wakaziacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata.
21 And, going forward from thence, he saw other two brethren—James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother—in the boat with Zebedee their father, putting in order 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, straightway, leaving the boat and their father, followed him.
nao mara wakaiacha mashua pamoja na baba yao, wakamfuata.
23 And Jesus was going round throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the glad-message of the kingdom, —and curing every disease, and every infirmity, 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 forth went the report of him into all Syria; and they brought unto him all who were sick, with divers diseases and tortures, distressed, demonized and lunatic and paralyzed, —and he cured 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 large multitudes—from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judaea, and across the Jordan.
Makundi mengi ya watu kutoka Galilaya, Dekapoli, Yerusalemu, Yudea na ng'ambo ya mto Yordani, walimfuata.
