Mathayo 4
1 Kisha Roho alimwongoza Yesu mpaka jangwani ili ajaribiwe na Ibilisi.
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2 Akafunga siku arubaini mchana na usiku, na mwishowe akaona njaa.
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.
3 Basi, mshawishi akamjia, akamwambia, “Ikiwa wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, amuru mawe haya yawe mikate.”
And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."
4 Yesu akamjibu, “Imeandikwa katika Maandiko Matakatifu: Binadamu hataishi kwa mikate tu, ila kwa kila neno asemalo Mungu.”
But he answered and said, "It is written, 'Humankind cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'"
5 Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka Yerusalemu, mji mtakatifu, akamweka juu ya mnara wa hekalu,
Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set 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 said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 'He will put his angels in charge of you.' and, 'In their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'"
7 Yesu akamwambia, “Imeandikwa pia: Usimjaribu Bwana, Mungu wako.”
Jesus said to him, "Again, it is written, 'Do not test the Lord your God.'"
8 Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka juu ya mlima mrefu, akamwonyesha falme zote za ulimwengu na fahari zake,
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory.
9 akamwambia, “Hivi vyote nitakupa kama tu ukipiga magoti na kuniabudu.”
And he said to him, "I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me."
10 Hapo, Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda zako Shetani! Imeandikwa: Utamwabudu Bwana Mungu wako na kumtumikia yeye peke yake.”
Then Jesus said to him, "Go away, Satan. For it is written, 'You are to worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'"
11 Basi, Ibilisi akamwacha, na malaika wakaja, wakamhudumia.
Then the devil left him, and look, angels came and served him.
12 Yesu aliposikia kwamba Yohane ametiwa gerezani alikwenda Galilaya.
Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.
13 Aliondoka Nazareti, akaenda Kafarnaumu, mji ulio kando ya bahari ya Genesareti, mpakani mwa wilaya za Zabuloni na Naftali, akakaa huko.
And leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 Ndivyo lilivyotimia lile neno lililosemwa kwa njia ya nabii Isaya:
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
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, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
16 Watu waliokaa gizani wameona mwanga mkubwa. Nao walioishi katika nchi ya giza na kivuli cha kifo, mwanga umewaangazia!”
The people sitting in darkness have seen a great light, and those living in the land and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned."
17 Tangu wakati huo Yesu alianza kuhubiri akisema, “Tubuni, maana ufalme wa mbinguni umekaribia!”
From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
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 said to them, "Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of people."
20 Mara wakaziacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata.
And they immediately left their nets and 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,
Going 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 they immediately left the boat and their father, and 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 about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness 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 the report about him went out into all Syria, and they brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptics, and paralytics; and he healed them.
25 Makundi mengi ya watu kutoka Galilaya, Dekapoli, Yerusalemu, Yudea na ng'ambo ya mto Yordani, walimfuata.
And large crowds from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.
