Luke 4
1 But Jesus, full of [the] Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness
Yesu alitoka katika mto Yordani akiwa amejaa Roho Mtakatifu, akaongozwa na Roho mpaka jangwani.
2 forty days, tempted of the devil; and in those days he did not eat anything, and when they were finished he hungered.
Huko alijaribiwa na Ibilisi kwa muda wa siku arubaini. Wakati huo wote hakula chochote, na baada ya siku hizo akasikia njaa.
3 And the devil said to him, If thou be Son of God, speak to this stone, that it become bread.
Ndipo Ibilisi akamwambia, “Kama wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, amuru jiwe hili liwe mkate.”
4 And Jesus answered unto him saying, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
Yesu akamjibu, “Imeandikwa: Mtu haishi kwa mkate tu.”
5 And [the devil], leading him up into a high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable world in a moment of time.
Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua hadi mahali pa juu, akamwonyesha kwa mara moja falme zote za ulimwengu. Huyo Shetani akamwambia,
6 And the devil said to him, I will give thee all this power, and their glory; for it is given up to me, and to whomsoever I will I give it.
“Nitakupa uwezo juu ya falme zote hizi na fahari zake, kwa maana nimepewa hivi vyote; nikitaka kumpa mtu ninaweza.
7 If therefore thou wilt do homage before me, all [of it] shall be thine.
Hivi vyote vitakuwa mali yako wewe, kama ukiniabudu.”
8 And Jesus answering him said, It is written, Thou shalt do homage to [the] Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.
Yesu akamjibu, “Imeandikwa: Utamwabudu Bwana Mungu wako, na utamtumikia yeye peke yake.”
9 And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the edge of the temple, and said to him, If thou be Son of God, cast thyself down hence;
Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka Yerusalemu, kwenye mnara wa Hekalu, akamwambia, “Kama wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu,
10 for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee to keep thee;
kwa maana imeandikwa: Atawaamuru malaika wake wakulinde,
11 and on [their] hands shall they bear thee, lest in any wise thou strike thy foot against a stone.
na tena, Watakuchukua mikononi mwao usije ukajikwaa mguu wako kwenye jiwe.”
12 And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt [the] Lord thy God.
Lakini Yesu akamjibu, “Imeandikwa: Usimjaribu Bwana Mungu wako.”
13 And the devil, having completed every temptation, departed from him for a time.
Ibilisi alipokwishamjaribu kwa kila njia, akamwacha kwa muda.
14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee; and a rumour went out into the whole surrounding country about him;
Yesu alirudi Galilaya akiwa amejaa nguvu za Roho Mtakatifu, na habari zake zikaenea katika sehemu zote za jirani.
15 and he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
Naye akawa anawafundisha watu katika masunagogi yao, akasifiwa na wote.
16 And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up; and he entered, according to his custom, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.
Basi, Yesu alikwenda Nazareti, mahali alipolelewa, na siku ya Sabato, aliingia katika sunagogi, kama ilivyokuwa desturi yake. Akasimama ili asome Maandiko Matakatifu kwa sauti.
17 And [the] book of the prophet Esaias was given to him; and having unrolled the book he found the place where it was written,
Akapokea kitabu cha nabii Isaya, akakifungua na akakuta mahali palipoandikwa:
18 [The] Spirit of [the] Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach glad tidings to [the] poor; he has sent me to preach to captives deliverance, and to [the] blind sight, to send forth [the] crushed delivered,
“Roho wa Bwana yu juu yangu, kwani amenipaka mafuta niwahubirie maskini Habari Njema. Amenituma niwatangazie mateka watapata uhuru, vipofu watapata kuona tena; amenituma niwakomboe wanaoonewa,
19 to preach [the] acceptable year of [the] Lord.
na kutangaza mwaka wa neema ya Bwana.”
20 And having rolled up the book, when he had delivered it up to the attendant, he sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon him.
Baada ya kusoma, akafunga kile kitabu, akampa mtumishi, kisha akaketi; watu wote wakamkodolea macho.
21 And he began to say to them, To-day this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.
Naye akaanza kuwaambia, “Andiko hili mlilosikia likisomwa, limetimia leo.”
22 And all bore witness to him, and wondered at the words of grace which were coming out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?
Wote wakavutiwa sana naye, wakastaajabia maneno mazuri aliyosema. Wakanena, “Je, huyu si mwana wa Yosefu?”
23 And he said to them, Ye will surely say to me this parable, Physician, heal thyself; whatsoever we have heard has taken place in Capernaum do here also in thine own country.
Naye akawaambia, “Bila shaka mtaniambia msemo huu: Mganga jiponye mwenyewe, na pia mtasema: Yote tuliyosikia umeyafanya kule Kafarnaumu, yafanye hapa pia katika kijiji chako.”
24 And he said, Verily I say to you, that no prophet is acceptable in his [own] country.
Akaendelea kusema, “Hakika nawaambieni, nabii hatambuliwi katika kijiji chake.
25 But of a truth I say to you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months, so that a great famine came upon all the land,
Lakini, sikilizeni! Kweli kulikuwa na wajane wengi katika nchi ya Israeli nyakati za Eliya. Wakati huo mvua iliacha kunyesha kwa muda wa miaka mitatu na nusu; kukawa na njaa kubwa katika nchi yote.
26 and to none of them was Elias sent but to Sarepta of Sidonia, to a woman [that was] a widow.
Hata hivyo, Eliya hakutumwa kwa mjane yeyote ila kwa mwanamke mjane wa Sarepta, Sidoni.
27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian.
Tena, katika nchi ya Israeli nyakati za Elisha kulikuwa na wenye ukoma wengi. Hata hivyo, hakuna yeyote aliyetakaswa ila tu Naamani, mwenyeji wa Siria.”
28 And they were all filled with rage in the synagogue, hearing these things;
Wote waliokuwa katika lile sunagogi waliposikia hayo walikasirika sana.
29 and rising up they cast him forth out of the city, and led him up to the brow of the mountain upon which their city was built, so that they might throw him down the precipice;
Wakasimama, wakamtoa nje ya mji wao uliokuwa umejengwa juu ya kilima, wakampeleka mpaka kwenye ukingo wa kilima hicho ili wamtupe chini.
30 but he, passing through the midst of them, went his way,
Lakini Yesu akapita katikati yao, akaenda zake.
31 and descended to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbaths.
Kisha Yesu akashuka mpaka Kafarnaumu katika mkoa wa Galilaya, akawa anawafundisha watu siku ya Sabato.
32 And they were astonished at his doctrine, for his word was with authority.
Wakastaajabia uwezo aliokuwa nao katika kufundisha.
33 And there was in the synagogue a man having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried with a loud voice,
Na katika lile sunagogi kulikuwa na mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na roho ya pepo mchafu; akapiga ukelele wa kuziba masikio:
34 saying, Eh! what have we to do with thee, Jesus, Nazarene? hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy [One] of God.
“We! Yesu wa Nazareti! Kwa nini unatuingilia? Je, umekuja kutuangamiza? Ninakufahamu wewe ni nani. Wewe ni mjumbe Mtakatifu wa Mungu!”
35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out from him. And the demon, having thrown him down into the midst, came out from him without doing him any injury.
Lakini Yesu akamkemea huyo pepo akisema: “Nyamaza! Mtoke mtu huyu!” Basi, huyo pepo baada ya kumwangusha yule mtu chini, akamtoka bila kumdhuru hata kidogo.
36 And astonishment came upon all, and they spoke to one another, saying, What word [is] this? for with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.
Watu wote wakashangaa, wakawa wanaambiana, “Hili ni jambo la ajabu, maana kwa uwezo na nguvu anawaamuru pepo wachafu watoke, nao wanatoka!”
37 And a rumour went out into every place of the country round concerning him.
Habari zake zikaenea mahali pote katika mkoa ule.
38 And rising up out of the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon. But Simon's mother-in-law was suffering under a bad fever; and they asked him for her.
Yesu alitoka katika lile sunagogi, akaenda nyumbani kwa Simoni. Mama mmoja, mkwewe Simoni, alikuwa na homa kali; wakamwomba amponye.
39 And standing over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her; and forthwith standing up she served them.
Yesu akaenda akasimama karibu naye, akaikemea ile homa, nayo ikamwacha. Mara yule mama akainuka, akawatumikia.
40 And when the sun went down, all, as many as had persons sick with divers diseases, brought them to him, and having laid his hands on every one of them, he healed them;
Jua lilipokuwa linatua, wote waliokuwa na wagonjwa wao mbalimbali waliwaleta kwake; naye akaweka mikono yake juu ya kila mmoja wao, akawaponya wote.
41 and demons also went out from many, crying out and saying, Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.
Pepo waliwatoka watu wengi, wakapiga kelele wakisema: “Wewe u Mwana wa Mungu!” Lakini Yesu akawakemea, wala hakuwaruhusu kusema, maana walimfahamu kwamba yeye ndiye Kristo.
42 And when it was day he went out, and went into a desert place, and the crowds sought after him, and came up to him, and [would have] kept him back that he should not go from them.
Kesho yake asubuhi Yesu aliondoka akaenda mahali pa faragha. Watu wakawa wanamtafuta, na walipofika mahali alipokuwa, wakajaribu kumzuia ili asiondoke kwao.
43 But he said to them, I must needs announce the glad tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for for this I have been sent forth.
Lakini yeye akawaambia, “Ninapaswa kuhubiri Habari Njema za Ufalme wa Mungu katika miji mingine pia, maana nilitumwa kwa ajili hiyo.”
44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
Akawa anahubiri katika masunagogi ya Yudea.
