Matthew 4
1 Then was Jesus led up by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the Devil.
Kisha Roho alimwongoza Yesu mpaka jangwani ili ajaribiwe na Ibilisi.
2 And when he had tasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward hungry.
Akafunga siku arubaini mchana na usiku, na mwishowe akaona njaa.
3 And the tempter came and said to him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become loaves of bread.
Basi, mshawishi akamjia, akamwambia, “Ikiwa wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, amuru mawe haya yawe mikate.”
4 But he answered and said, It is written, “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceedeth 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 taketh him into the holy city, and setteth him on the pinnacle of the temple;
Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka Yerusalemu, mji mtakatifu, akamweka juu ya mnara wa hekalu,
6 and saith to him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down; for it is written, “He will give his angels charge concerning thee; and in their hands they will bear thee up, that thou mayst not dash thy foot against 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 is written, “Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God.”
Yesu akamwambia, “Imeandikwa pia: Usimjaribu Bwana, Mungu wako.”
8 Again, the Devil taketh him m an exceeding high mountain, and showeth 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 said to him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
akamwambia, “Hivi vyote nitakupa kama tu ukipiga magoti na kuniabudu.”
10 Then saith Jesus to him, Be gone, Satan! for it is written, “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”
Hapo, Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda zako Shetani! Imeandikwa: Utamwabudu Bwana Mungu wako na kumtumikia yeye peke yake.”
11 Then the Devil leaveth him; and lo! angels came and ministered to him.
Basi, Ibilisi akamwacha, na malaika wakaja, wakamhudumia.
12 Now when Jesus heard that John had been cast into prison, he withdrew into Galilee.
Yesu aliposikia kwamba Yohane ametiwa gerezani alikwenda Galilaya.
13 And leaving Nazara, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, on the shore of the lake, 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 which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Ndivyo lilivyotimia lile neno lililosemwa kwa njia ya nabii Isaya:
15 “The land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the lake beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
“Nchi ya Zabuloni na nchi ya Naftali, kuelekea baharini ng'ambo ya mto Yordani, Galilaya nchi ya watu wa Mataifa!
16 the people that sat in darkness, saw a great light; and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death, light arose.”
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 preach, and to say, Repent; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Tangu wakati huo Yesu alianza kuhubiri akisema, “Tubuni, maana ufalme wa mbinguni umekaribia!”
18 And while walking by the lake of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the lake; 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 saith 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 left their nets, and followed him.
Mara wakaziacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata.
21 And going on from thence, 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.
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 left the boat and their father, and followed him.
nao mara wakaiacha mashua pamoja na baba yao, wakamfuata.
23 And he went round the whole of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease 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 into all Syria; and they brought to him all that were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were possessed by demons, and lunatics, and those who were struck with palsy; 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 great multitudes followed him from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea, and from beyond the Jordan.
Makundi mengi ya watu kutoka Galilaya, Dekapoli, Yerusalemu, Yudea na ng'ambo ya mto Yordani, walimfuata.
