Matthew 4
1 Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil,
Kisha Roho alimwongoza Yesu mpaka jangwani ili ajaribiwe na Ibilisi.
2 and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He hungered.
Akafunga siku arubaini mchana na usiku, na mwishowe akaona njaa.
3 And the tempting [one], having come to Him, said, “If You are the Son of God—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 has been written: Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word coming forth from the mouth of God.”
Yesu akamjibu, “Imeandikwa katika Maandiko Matakatifu: Binadamu hataishi kwa mikate tu, ila kwa kila neno asemalo Mungu.”
5 Then the Devil takes Him to the [holy] city, and sets Him on the pinnacle of the temple,
Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka Yerusalemu, mji mtakatifu, akamweka juu ya mnara wa hekalu,
6 and says to Him, “If You are the Son of God—cast Yourself down, for it has been written that, His messengers He will charge concerning you, and on hands they will bear you up, that you may not dash your foot on a stone.”
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 has been written: You will not tempt the LORD your God.”
Yesu akamwambia, “Imeandikwa pia: Usimjaribu Bwana, Mungu wako.”
8 Again the Devil takes Him to a very high mountain, and shows 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 says to Him, “All these I will give to You, if falling down You may worship me.”
akamwambia, “Hivi vyote nitakupa kama tu ukipiga magoti na kuniabudu.”
10 Then Jesus says to him, “Go—Satan, for it has been written: You will worship the LORD your God, and Him only will you serve.”
Hapo, Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda zako Shetani! Imeandikwa: Utamwabudu Bwana Mungu wako na kumtumikia yeye peke yake.”
11 Then the Devil leaves Him, and behold, messengers came and were ministering to Him.
Basi, Ibilisi akamwacha, na malaika wakaja, wakamhudumia.
12 And Jesus, having heard that John was delivered up, withdrew to Galilee,
Yesu aliposikia kwamba Yohane ametiwa gerezani alikwenda Galilaya.
13 and having left Nazareth, having come, He dwelt at Capernaum that is by the sea, in the borders 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 that 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, way of the sea, beyond 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 is sitting in darkness saw a great light, and to those sitting in a region and shadow of death—light arose to them.”
Watu waliokaa gizani wameona mwanga mkubwa. Nao walioishi katika nchi ya giza na kivuli cha kifo, mwanga umewaangazia!”
17 From that time Jesus began to proclaim and to say, “Convert, for the kingdom of the heavens has come near.”
Tangu wakati huo Yesu alianza kuhubiri akisema, “Tubuni, maana ufalme wa mbinguni umekaribia!”
18 And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon named Peter and his brother Andrew, casting a drag 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 says to them, “Come after Me, and I will make you fishers of men,”
Basi, akawaambia, “Nifuateni, nami nitawafanya ninyi wavuvi wa watu.”
20 and they, immediately, having left the nets, followed Him.
Mara wakaziacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata.
21 And having advanced from there, He saw two other brothers, James of Zebedee, and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, refitting 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, immediately, having left the boat and their father, followed Him.
nao mara wakaiacha mashua pamoja na baba yao, wakamfuata.
23 And Jesus was going in all of Galilee teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness 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 His fame went forth to all Syria, and they brought to Him all the ill having manifold oppressing diseases and torments—and demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics—and He healed 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 many multitudes from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
Makundi mengi ya watu kutoka Galilaya, Dekapoli, Yerusalemu, Yudea na ng'ambo ya mto Yordani, walimfuata.
