Mathayo 4
1 Kisha Yesu akaongozwa na Roho Mtakatifu kwenda nyikani ili akajaribiwe na ibilisi.
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2 Baada ya kufunga siku arobaini usiku na mchana, hatimaye akaona njaa.
And having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward he was hungry.
3 Mjaribu akamjia na kumwambia, “Ikiwa wewe ndiye Mwana wa Mungu, amuru mawe haya yawe mikate.”
And after he who tempts came, he said to him, If thou are the Son of God, speak so that these stones may become bread.
4 Lakini Yesu akajibu, “Imeandikwa: ‘Mtu haishi kwa mkate tu, ila kwa kila neno litokalo katika kinywa cha Mungu.’”
But having answered, he said, It is written, Man will not live on bread alone, but on every word coming out through the mouth of God.
5 Ndipo ibilisi akamchukua Yesu mpaka mji mtakatifu na kumweka juu ya mnara mrefu wa Hekalu,
Then the devil takes him into the holy city, and stands him on the pinnacle of the temple.
6 akamwambia, “Kama wewe ndiwe Mwana wa Mungu jitupe chini. Kwa kuwa imeandikwa: “‘Atakuagizia malaika zake, nao watakuchukua mikononi mwao ili usije ukajikwaa mguu wako katika jiwe.’”
And he says to him, If thou are the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written, He will command his agents about thee, and, They will take thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Yesu akamjibu, “Pia imeandikwa: ‘Usimjaribu Bwana Mungu wako.’”
Jesus said to him, Again it is written, Thou shall not challenge the Lord thy God.
8 Kwa mara nyingine, ibilisi akamchukua Yesu mpaka kwenye kilele cha mlima mrefu na kumwonyesha falme zote za dunia na fahari zake,
Again, the devil takes him onto an exceedingly high mountain, and shows him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them.
9 kisha akamwambia, “Nitakupa hivi vyote kama ukinisujudia na kuniabudu.”
And he says to him, All these things I give thee, if after falling down, thou will worship me.
10 Yesu akamwambia, “Ondoka mbele yangu, Shetani! Kwa maana imeandikwa, ‘Mwabudu Bwana Mungu wako, na umtumikie yeye peke yake.’”
Then Jesus says to him, Get thee behind me, Satan, for it is written, Thou shall worship the Lord thy God, and him only thou shall serve.
11 Ndipo ibilisi akamwacha, nao malaika wakaja na kumhudumia.
Then the devil leaves him, and behold, agents came and served him.
12 Yesu aliposikia kwamba Yohana Mbatizaji alikuwa ametiwa gerezani, alirudi Galilaya.
Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he departed into Galilee.
13 Akaondoka Nazareti akaenda kuishi Kapernaumu, mji ulioko karibu na bahari, katika mipaka ya nchi ya Zabuloni na Naftali,
And having left Nazareth behind, after coming, he dwelt in Capernaum by the sea in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 ili kutimiza unabii wa nabii Isaya, kama alivyosema:
so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,
15 “Nchi ya Zabuloni na nchi ya Naftali, kwenye njia ya kuelekea baharini, ngʼambo ya Yordani, Galilaya ya watu wa Mataifa:
The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
16 watu wale waliokaa gizani wameona nuru kuu; nao wale walioishi katika nchi ya uvuli wa mauti, nuru imewazukia.”
the people who dwell in darkness saw a great light, and to those who dwell in the region and shadow of death, light sprang up to them.
17 Tangu wakati huo, Yesu alianza kuhubiri akisema: “Tubuni, kwa maana Ufalme wa Mbinguni umekaribia.”
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens has approached.
18 Yesu alipokuwa anatembea kando ya Bahari ya Galilaya, aliwaona ndugu wawili, Simoni aitwaye Petro, na Andrea ndugu yake. Walikuwa wakizitupa nyavu zao baharini kwa kuwa wao walikuwa wavuvi.
And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
19 Yesu akawaambia, “Njooni, nifuateni nami nitawafanya mwe wavuvi wa watu.”
And he says to them, Come behind me, and I will make you fishermen of men.
20 Mara wakaziacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata.
And straightaway having left the nets, they followed him.
21 Alipoendelea mbele kutoka pale, akawaona ndugu wengine wawili, Yakobo mwana wa Zebedayo na Yohana nduguye, wakiwa wamekaa kwenye mashua pamoja na baba yao Zebedayo, wakizitengeneza nyavu zao. Yesu akawaita.
And having gone on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. And he called them.
22 Nao mara wakaiacha mashua yao, pamoja na baba yao, wakamfuata.
And straightaway having left the boat and their father, they followed him.
23 Yesu akapita katika Galilaya yote, akifundisha katika masinagogi yao, akihubiri habari njema za Ufalme, na akiponya kila ugonjwa na kila aina ya maradhi miongoni mwa watu.
And Jesus went around all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
24 Kwa hiyo sifa zake zikaenea sehemu zote za Shamu, nao watu wakamletea wote waliokuwa na magonjwa mbalimbali na maumivu, waliopagawa na pepo wachafu, wenye kifafa na waliopooza, naye akawaponya.
And his fame went forth into all Syria. And they brought to him all those faring badly with various diseases, and gripped with pain, and being demon-possessed, and being lunatic, and paralyzed. And he healed them.
25 Makutano makubwa ya watu yakawa yanamjia kutoka Galilaya, Dekapoli, Yerusalemu, Uyahudi na kutoka ngʼambo ya Mto Yordani.
And many multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and beyond the Jordan followed him.
