Mathayo 4
1 Kisha Yesu akaongozwa na Roho Mtakatifu kwenda nyikani ili akajaribiwe na ibilisi.
Then was Jesus conducted by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil.
2 Baada ya kufunga siku arobaini usiku na mchana, hatimaye akaona njaa.
And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
3 Mjaribu akamjia na kumwambia, “Ikiwa wewe ndiye Mwana wa Mungu, amuru mawe haya yawe mikate.”
Then the tempter accosting him, said, If thou be God's Son, command that these stones become loaves.
4 Lakini Yesu akajibu, “Imeandikwa: ‘Mtu haishi kwa mkate tu, ila kwa kila neno litokalo katika kinywa cha Mungu.’”
Jesus answering, said, It is written, "Man lives not by bread only, but by everything which God is pleased to appoint."
5 Ndipo ibilisi akamchukua Yesu mpaka mji mtakatifu na kumweka juu ya mnara mrefu wa Hekalu,
Then the devil conveyed him into the holy city, and having placed him on the battlement of the temple,
6 akamwambia, “Kama wewe ndiwe Mwana wa Mungu jitupe chini. Kwa kuwa imeandikwa: “‘Atakuagizia malaika zake, nao watakuchukua mikononi mwao ili usije ukajikwaa mguu wako katika jiwe.’”
said to him, If thou be God's Son, throw thyself down; for it is written, "He will give his angels the charge of thee: they shall uphold thee in their arms, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."
7 Yesu akamjibu, “Pia imeandikwa: ‘Usimjaribu Bwana Mungu wako.’”
Jesus again answered, It is written, "Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the proof."
8 Kwa mara nyingine, ibilisi akamchukua Yesu mpaka kwenye kilele cha mlima mrefu na kumwonyesha falme zote za dunia na fahari zake,
Again the devil took him up a very high mountain, whence he showed him all the kingdoms of the world in their glory,
9 kisha akamwambia, “Nitakupa hivi vyote kama ukinisujudia na kuniabudu.”
and said to him, All these will I give thee, if thou wilt prostrate thyself, and worship me.
10 Yesu akamwambia, “Ondoka mbele yangu, Shetani! Kwa maana imeandikwa, ‘Mwabudu Bwana Mungu wako, na umtumikie yeye peke yake.’”
Jesus answered, Satan, begone; for it is written, "Thou shalt worship the Lord they God, and shall serve him only."
11 Ndipo ibilisi akamwacha, nao malaika wakaja na kumhudumia.
Then the devil leaving him, angels came and ministered to him.
12 Yesu aliposikia kwamba Yohana Mbatizaji alikuwa ametiwa gerezani, alirudi Galilaya.
Now Jesus, hearing that John was imprisoned, retired into Galilee,
13 Akaondoka Nazareti akaenda kuishi Kapernaumu, mji ulioko karibu na bahari, katika mipaka ya nchi ya Zabuloni na Naftali,
and having left Nazareth, resided at Capernaum, a seaport in the confines of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 ili kutimiza unabii wa nabii Isaya, kama alivyosema:
thereby verifying the words of Isaiah the Prophet;
15 “Nchi ya Zabuloni na nchi ya Naftali, kwenye njia ya kuelekea baharini, ngʼambo ya Yordani, Galilaya ya watu wa Mataifa:
"The canton of Zebulun and the canton of Naphtali, situate on the Jordan near the sea, Galilee of the nations;
16 watu wale waliokaa gizani wameona nuru kuu; nao wale walioishi katika nchi ya uvuli wa mauti, nuru imewazukia.”
the people who abode in darkness, saw a great light, and on those who inhabited a region of the shades of death, light has arisen.
17 Tangu wakati huo, Yesu alianza kuhubiri akisema: “Tubuni, kwa maana Ufalme wa Mbinguni umekaribia.”
From that time Jesus began to proclaim, saying, Reform, for the Reign of Heaven approaches.
18 Yesu alipokuwa anatembea kando ya Bahari ya Galilaya, aliwaona ndugu wawili, Simoni aitwaye Petro, na Andrea ndugu yake. Walikuwa wakizitupa nyavu zao baharini kwa kuwa wao walikuwa wavuvi.
Then walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon named Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers.
19 Yesu akawaambia, “Njooni, nifuateni nami nitawafanya mwe wavuvi wa watu.”
And he said to them, Come with me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 Mara wakaziacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata.
Immediately they left the nets and followed him.
21 Alipoendelea mbele kutoka pale, akawaona ndugu wengine wawili, Yakobo mwana wa Zebedayo na Yohana nduguye, wakiwa wamekaa kwenye mashua pamoja na baba yao Zebedayo, wakizitengeneza nyavu zao. Yesu akawaita.
Passing on he saw other two brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the bark with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them.
22 Nao mara wakaiacha mashua yao, pamoja na baba yao, wakamfuata.
They immediately, leaving the bark and their father, followed him.
23 Yesu akapita katika Galilaya yote, akifundisha katika masinagogi yao, akihubiri habari njema za Ufalme, na akiponya kila ugonjwa na kila aina ya maradhi miongoni mwa watu.
Then Jesus went over all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the glad tidings of the Reign, and curing every sort of disease and malady among the people.
24 Kwa hiyo sifa zake zikaenea sehemu zote za Shamu, nao watu wakamletea wote waliokuwa na magonjwa mbalimbali na maumivu, waliopagawa na pepo wachafu, wenye kifafa na waliopooza, naye akawaponya.
And his fame spread through all Syria, and they brought him all their sick, seized and tormented with various distempers, demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics, and he healed them.
25 Makutano makubwa ya watu yakawa yanamjia kutoka Galilaya, Dekapoli, Yerusalemu, Uyahudi na kutoka ngʼambo ya Mto Yordani.
And vast multitudes followed him from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from the banks of the Jordan.
