Luka 4
1 Yesu, akiwa amejaa Roho Mtakatifu, akarudi kutoka Yordani. Akaongozwa na Roho Mtakatifu hadi nyikani,
And Jesus being full of the Holy Spirit returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2 mahali ambako kwa siku arobaini alikuwa akijaribiwa na ibilisi. Kwa siku zote hizo hakula chochote, hivyo baada ya muda huo akaona njaa.
Being forty days tempted by the devil. And in those days he ate nothing: and when they were ended, he was afterward hungry.
3 Ibilisi akamwambia, “Ikiwa wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, amuru jiwe hili liwe mkate.”
And the devil said to him, If thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
4 Yesu akajibu akamwambia, “Imeandikwa: ‘Mtu haishi kwa mkate tu.’”
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
5 Ibilisi akampeleka hadi juu ya mlima mrefu akamwonyesha milki zote za dunia kwa mara moja.
And the devil, taking him up upon an high mountain, showed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 Akamwambia, “Nitakupa mamlaka juu ya milki hizi na fahari zake zote, kwa maana zimekabidhiwa mkononi mwangu nami ninaweza kumpa yeyote ninayetaka.
And the devil said to him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered to me; and to whomever I will I give it.
7 Hivyo ikiwa utanisujudia na kuniabudu, vyote vitakuwa vyako.”
If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
8 Yesu akamjibu, “Imeandikwa: ‘Mwabudu Bwana Mungu wako na umtumikie yeye peke yake.’”
And Jesus answered and said to him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
9 Kisha ibilisi akampeleka mpaka Yerusalemu, akamweka juu ya mnara mrefu wa Hekalu, akamwambia, “Kama wewe ndiwe Mwana wa Mungu, jitupe chini kutoka hapa,
And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down from here:
10 kwa maana imeandikwa: “‘Atakuagizia malaika zake ili wakulinde;
For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
11 nao watakuchukua mikononi mwao, usije ukajikwaa mguu wako katika jiwe.’”
And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12 Yesu akamjibu, “Imesemwa, ‘Usimjaribu Bwana Mungu wako.’”
And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13 Ibilisi alipomaliza kila jaribu, akamwacha Yesu mpaka wakati mwingine ufaao.
And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
14 Kisha Yesu akarudi mpaka Galilaya, akiwa amejaa nguvu za Roho Mtakatifu, nazo habari zake zikaenea katika sehemu zote za nchi za kandokando.
And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the surrounding region.
15 Akaanza kufundisha kwenye masinagogi yao, na kila mmoja akamsifu.
And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
16 Yesu akaenda Nazareti, alipolelewa, na siku ya Sabato alikwenda katika sinagogi kama ilivyokuwa desturi yake. Akasimama ili asome,
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath, and stood up to read.
17 naye akapewa kitabu cha nabii Isaya, akakifungua na kukuta mahali palipoandikwa:
And there was delivered to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
18 “Roho wa Bwana yu juu yangu, kwa sababu amenitia mafuta kuwahubiria maskini habari njema. Amenituma kuwatangazia wafungwa kufunguliwa kwao, na vipofu kupata kuona tena, kuwaweka huru wanaoonewa,
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 na kutangaza mwaka wa Bwana uliokubalika.”
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 Kisha akakifunga kitabu, akamrudishia mtumishi na akaketi. Watu wote waliokuwamo katika sinagogi wakamkazia macho.
And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 Ndipo akaanza kwa kuwaambia, “Leo Andiko hili limetimia mkiwa mnasikia.”
And he began to say to them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
22 Wote waliokuwako wakamsifu na kuyastaajabia maneno yake yaliyojaa neema, wakaulizana, “Je, huyu si mwana wa Yosefu?”
And all bore him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?
23 Yesu akawaambia, “Bila shaka mtatumia mithali hii: ‘Tabibu, jiponye mwenyewe! Mambo yale tuliyosikia kwamba uliyafanya huko Kapernaumu, yafanye na hapa kwenye mji wako.’”
And he said to them, Ye will surely say to me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
24 Yesu akasema, “Amin, nawaambia, hakuna nabii anayekubalika katika mji wake mwenyewe.
And he said, Verily I say to you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
25 Lakini ukweli ni kwamba palikuwa na wajane wengi katika Israeli wakati wa Eliya, mbingu zilipofungwa kwa miaka mitatu na miezi sita pakawa na njaa kuu katika nchi nzima.
But I tell you in truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
26 Hata hivyo Eliya hakutumwa hata kwa mmoja wao, bali kwa mjane mmoja wa Sarepta katika nchi ya Sidoni.
But to none of them was Elijah sent, except to Zarephath, a city of Sidon, to a woman that was a widow.
27 Pia palikuwa na wengi wenye ukoma katika Israeli katika siku za nabii Elisha, lakini hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyetakaswa, isipokuwa Naamani mtu wa Shamu.”
And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, except Naaman the Syrian.
28 Watu wote katika sinagogi waliposikia maneno haya, wakakasirika sana.
And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
29 Wakasimama, wakamtoa nje ya mji, wakamchukua hadi kwenye kilele cha mlima mahali ambapo mji huo ulikuwa umejengwa, ili wamtupe chini kutoka kwenye mteremko mkali.
And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
30 Lakini yeye akapita papo hapo katikati ya huo umati wa watu akaenda zake.
But he passing through the midst of them went his way,
31 Kisha Yesu akashuka kwenda Kapernaumu, mji wa Galilaya, na katika siku ya Sabato akawa anafundisha.
And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.
32 Wakashangazwa sana na mafundisho yake, maana maneno yake yalikuwa na mamlaka.
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.
33 Ndani ya sinagogi palikuwa na mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo mchafu. Naye akapiga kelele kwa nguvu akisema,
And in the synagogue there was a man, who had a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,
34 “Tuache! Tuna nini nawe, Yesu wa Nazareti? Je, umekuja kutuangamiza? Ninakujua wewe ni nani. Wewe ndiwe Aliye Mtakatifu wa Mungu!”
Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
35 Basi Yesu akamkemea yule pepo mchafu, akisema, “Nyamaza kimya! Nawe umtoke!” Yule pepo mchafu akamwangusha yule mtu chini mbele yao wote, akatoka pasipo kumdhuru.
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the demon had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.
36 Watu wote wakashangaa, wakaambiana, “Mafundisho haya ni ya namna gani? Anawaamuru pepo wachafu kwa mamlaka na nguvu, nao wanatoka!”
And they were all amazed, and spoke among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.
37 Habari zake zikaanza kuenea kila mahali katika sehemu ile.
And the fame of him went out into every place in the surrounding country.
38 Yesu akatoka katika sinagogi, akaenda nyumbani kwa Simoni. Basi huko alimkuta mama mkwe wa Simoni akiwa ameshikwa na homa kali, nao wakamwomba Yesu amsaidie.
And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon’s house. And the mother of Simon’s wife was sick with a high fever; and they besought him for her.
39 Hivyo Yesu akamwinamia na kukemea ile homa, nayo ikamwacha. Akaamka saa ile ile, naye akaanza kuwahudumia.
And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered to them.
40 Jua lilipokuwa linatua, watu wakamletea Yesu watu wote waliokuwa na maradhi mbalimbali, naye akaweka mikono yake juu ya kila mgonjwa, naye akawaponya.
Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
41 Pepo wachafu pia wakawatoka watu wengi, nao walipokuwa wakitoka wakapiga kelele, wakisema: “Wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu!” Lakini Yesu akawakemea na kuwazuia wasiseme, kwa maana walimjua kuwa yeye ndiye Kristo.
And demons also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them did not allow them to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.
42 Kesho yake, kulipopambazuka, Yesu alikwenda mahali pa faragha. Watu wengi wakawa wanamtafuta kila mahali, nao walipomwona wakajaribu kumzuia asiondoke.
And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came to him, and would have restrained him, that he should not depart from them.
43 Lakini yeye akawaambia, “Imenipasa kuhubiri habari njema za Ufalme wa Mungu katika miji mingine pia, kwa maana kwa kusudi hili nilitumwa.”
And he said to them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
44 Naye aliendelea kuhubiri katika masinagogi ya Uyahudi.
And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
