Mathayo 4
1 Kisha Roho alimwongoza Yesu mpaka jangwani ili ajaribiwe na Ibilisi.
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2 Akafunga siku arubaini mchana na usiku, na mwishowe akaona njaa.
And having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward he was hungry.
3 Basi, mshawishi akamjia, akamwambia, “Ikiwa wewe ni 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 Yesu akamjibu, “Imeandikwa katika Maandiko Matakatifu: Binadamu hataishi kwa mikate tu, ila kwa kila neno asemalo 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 Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka Yerusalemu, mji mtakatifu, akamweka juu ya mnara wa hekalu,
Then the devil takes him into the holy city, and stands him on the pinnacle of the temple.
6 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.”
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 akamwambia, “Imeandikwa pia: Usimjaribu Bwana, Mungu wako.”
Jesus said to him, Again it is written, Thou shall not challenge the Lord thy God.
8 Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka juu ya mlima mrefu, akamwonyesha falme zote za ulimwengu 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 akamwambia, “Hivi vyote nitakupa kama tu ukipiga magoti na kuniabudu.”
And he says to him, All these things I give thee, if after falling down, thou will worship me.
10 Hapo, Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda zako Shetani! Imeandikwa: Utamwabudu Bwana Mungu wako na kumtumikia 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 Basi, Ibilisi akamwacha, na malaika wakaja, wakamhudumia.
Then the devil leaves him, and behold, agents came and served him.
12 Yesu aliposikia kwamba Yohane ametiwa gerezani alikwenda Galilaya.
Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he departed into Galilee.
13 Aliondoka Nazareti, akaenda Kafarnaumu, mji ulio kando ya bahari ya Genesareti, mpakani mwa wilaya za Zabuloni na Naftali, akakaa huko.
And having left Nazareth behind, after coming, he dwelt in Capernaum by the sea in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 Ndivyo lilivyotimia lile neno lililosemwa kwa njia ya nabii Isaya:
so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,
15 “Nchi ya Zabuloni na nchi ya Naftali, kuelekea baharini ng'ambo ya mto Yordani, Galilaya nchi 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 waliokaa gizani wameona mwanga mkubwa. Nao walioishi katika nchi ya giza na kivuli cha kifo, mwanga umewaangazia!”
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, 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 ziwa Galilaya, aliwaona ndugu wawili wavuvi; Simoni (aitwae Petro) na Andrea, ndugu yake; walikuwa wakivua samaki kwa nyavu ziwani.
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 Basi, akawaambia, “Nifuateni, nami nitawafanya ninyi 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 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,
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 pamoja na baba yao, wakamfuata.
And straightaway having left the boat and their father, they followed him.
23 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.
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 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.
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 Makundi mengi ya watu kutoka Galilaya, Dekapoli, Yerusalemu, Yudea na ng'ambo ya mto Yordani, walimfuata.
And many multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and beyond the Jordan followed him.
