Luka 4
1 Kisha, Yesu akiwa amejaa Roho Mtakatifu, alirudi kutoka Mto Jordani, na aliongozwa na Roho jangwani
And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the desert,
2 kwa siku arobaini, na huko alijaribiwa na Ibilisi. Wakati huo hakula chochote, na mwisho wa wakati huo alihisi njaa.
For the space of forty days; and was tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days; and when they were ended, he was hungry.
3 Ibilisi akamwambia, “Kama wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, liamru jiwe hili kuwa mkate.”
And the devil said to him: If thou be the Son of God, say to this stone that it be made bread.
4 Yesu akamjibu, “Imeandikwa; 'mtu hataishi kwa mkate pekee.”
And Jesus answered him: It is written, that Man liveth not by bread alone, but by every word of God.
5 Kisha Ibilisi alimwongoza juu kwenye kilele cha mlima, na akamwonyesha falme zote za dunia kwa muda mfupi.
And the devil led him into a high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time;
6 Ibilisi akamwambia, “Nitakupa mamlaka ya kutawala falme hizi zote pamoja na fahari zake. Naweza kufanya hivyo kwa sababu vyote vimekabidhiwa kwangu nivitawale, na ninaweza kumpa yeyote nitakaye kumpa.
And he said to him: To thee will I give all this power, and the glory of them; for to me they are delivered, and to whom I will, I give them.
7 Kwahiyo, kama utaniinamia na kuniabudu, vitu hivi vyote vitakuwa vyako.”
If thou therefore wilt adore before me, all shall be thine.
8 Lakini Yesu alijibu na kumwambia, “Imeandikwa, “lazima umwabudu Bwana Mungu wako, na lazima umtumikie Yeye peke yake.”
And Jesus answering said to him: It is written: Thou shalt adore the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
9 Baadaye Ibilisi alimwongoza Yesu hadi Yerusalemu na kumweka sehemu ya juu kabisa ya jengo la hekalu na kumwambia, “Kama wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, jitupe chini kutoka hapa.
And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and he said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself from hence.
10 Kwa sababu imeandikwa, “Atawaagiza malaika zake wakutunze na kukulinda,
For it is written, that He hath given his angels charge over thee, that they keep thee.
11 na watakuinua juu mikononi mwao ili kwamba usiumize miguu yako juu ya jiwe.”
And that in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12 Yesu akijibu alimwambia, “Imenenwa, “usimjaribu Bwana Mungu wako.”
And Jesus answering, said to him: It is said: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13 Ibilisi alipomaliza kumjaribu Yesu, alienda zake na kumwacha hadi wakati mwingine.
And all the temptation being ended, the devil departed from him for a time.
14 Kisha Yesu alirudi Galilaya kwa nguvu za Roho, na habari kumhusu yeye zikaenea na kusambaa katika mikoa jirani yote.
And Jesus returned in the power of the spirit, into Galilee, and the fame of him went out through the whole country.
15 Alifundisha katika masinagogi yao, na kila mmoja alimsifu.
And he taught in their synagogues, and was magnified by all.
16 Siku moja alikwenda Nazareti, mji ambao alilelewa na kukulia. Kama ilivyokuwa desturi yake aliingia kwenye sinagogi siku ya sabato, na alisimama kusoma maandiko.
And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up: and he went into the synagogue, according to his custom, on the sabbath day; and he rose up to read.
17 Alikabidhiwa gombo la nabii Isaya, hivyo, alilifungua gombo na akatafuta sehemu iliyoandikwa,
And the book of Isaias the prophet was delivered unto him. And as he unfolded the book, he found the place where it was written:
18 “Roho wa Bwana yuu juu yangu, kwa sababu alinitia mafuta kuhubiri habari njema kwa maskini. Amenituma kutangaza uhuru kwa wafungwa, na kuwafanya wasioona waweze kuona tena. Kuwaweka huru wale wanaogandamizwa,
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. Wherefore he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the contrite of heart,
19 kuutangaza mwaka ambao Bwana ataonesha wema wake.”
To preach deliverance to the captives, and sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of reward.
20 Kisha akalifunga gombo, akamrudishia kiongozi wa sinagogi, na akaketi chini. Macho ya watu wote waliokuwa katika sinagogi yalimwangalia yeye.
And when he had folded the book, he restored it to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.
21 Alianza kuzungumza nao akisema, “Leo andiko hili limetimizwa masikioni mwenu.”
And he began to say to them: This day is fulfilled this scripture in your ears.
22 Kila mmoja pale alishuhudia kile alichokisema Yesu, na wengi miongoni mwao walishangazwa na maneno ya hekima yaliyokuwa yakitoka katika kinywa chake. Walikuwa wakisema, “huyu ni kijana tu wa Yusufu, siyo hivyo?”
And all gave testimony to him: and they wondered at the words of grace that proceeded from his mouth, and they said: Is not this the son of Joseph?
23 Yesu akawaambia, “hakika mtasema methali hii kwangu, “Tabibu, jiponye mwenyewe. Chochote tulichosikia ukifanya Kapernaumu, kifanye hapa pia kijijini kwako.”
And he said to them: Doubtless you will say to me this similitude: Physician, heal thyself: as great things as we have heard done in Capharnaum, do also here in thy own country.
24 Pia alisema, “hakika nawaambia ninyi, hakuna nabii anayekubalika katika nchi yake.”
And he said: Amen I say to you, that no prophet is accepted in his own country.
25 Lakini nawaambia ninyi kweli kwamba kulikuwa na wajane wengi Israel katika kipindi cha Eliya, wakati mbingu ilipofungwa kusiwe na nvua kwa miaka mitatu na nusu, wakati kulipokuwa na njaa kubwa katika nchi yote.
In truth I say to you, there were many widows in the days of Elias in Israel, when heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there was a great famine throughout all the earth.
26 Lakini Eliya hakutumwa kwa yeyote mmoja wao, lakini kwa mjane mmoja tu aliyeishi Sarepta karibu na mji wa Sidoni.
And to none of them was Elias sent, but to Sarepta of Sidon, to a widow woman.
27 Pia, kulikuwa na wakoma wengi Israel katika kipindi cha Elisha nabii, lakini hakuna hatammoja wao aliyeponywa isipokuwa Naamani mtu wa Siria.
And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet: and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian.
28 Watu wote ndani ya sinagogi walijawa na gadhabu walipoyasikia haya yote.
And all they in the synagogue, hearing these things, were filled with anger.
29 Walisimama na kumsukumizia nje ya mji, na kumwongoza mpaka kwenye ukingo wa mlima wa mji ambapo mji wao ulijengwa juu yake, ili waweze kumtupa chini.
And they rose up and thrust him out of the city; and they brought him to the brow of the hill, whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
30 Lakini alipita salama katikati yao na akaenda zake.
But he passing through the midst of them, went his way.
31 Kisha alitelemkia Kapernaumu, katika mji wa Galilaya. Sabato moja alikuwa akifundisha watu ndani ya sinagogi.
And he went down into Capharnaum, a city of Galilee, and there he taught them on the sabbath days.
32 Walishangazwa na mafundisho yake, kwasababu alifundisha kwa mamlaka.
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his speech was with power.
33 Sasa siku hiyo ndani ya sinagogi, kulikuwa na mtu aliyekuwa na roho ya pepo mchafu, na alilia kwa sauti ya juu,
And in the synagogue there was a man who had an unclean devil, and he cried out with a loud voice,
34 “Tuna nini nawe, Yesu wa Nazareti? Umekuja kutuangamiza? Ninajua wewe ni nani! Wewe ni 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 Yesu alimkemea pepo akisema, “Nyamaza kimya, na umtoke mtu huyu!” Pepo yule alipomtupa mtu yule chini katikati yao, alimtoka yule mtu bila ya kumsababishia maumivu yoyote.
And Jesus rebuked him, saying: Hold thy peace, and go out of him. And when the devil had thrown him into the midst, he went out of him, and hurt him not at all.
36 Watu wote walishangaa, na waliendelea kuzungumzia jambo hilo kila mmoja na mwenzake. Wakasema, “Ni maneno ya aina gani haya?” Anawaamuru roho wachafu kwa mamlaka na nguvu na watondoka.”
And there came fear upon all, and they talked among themselves, saying: What word is this, for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they go out?
37 Hivyo, habari juu ya Yesu zilienea kila sehemu katika maeneo yanayozunguka mkoa huo.
And the fame of him was published into every place of the country.
38 Kisha Yesu aliondoka katika mji huo na akaingia katika nyumba ya Simoni. Sasa, mama mkwe wake na Simoni alikuwa anaumwa homa kali, na wakamsihi kwa niaba yake.
And Jesus rising up out of the synagogue, went into Simon’s house. And Simon’s wife’s mother was taken with a great fever, and they besought him for her.
39 Hivyo, Yesu alimsogelea, akaikemea ile homa na ikamwachia. Ghafla alisimama na akaanza kuwatumikia.
And standing over her, he commanded the fever, and it left her. And immediately rising, she ministered to them.
40 Jua lilipokuwa likizama, watu walimletea Yesu kila mmoja aliyekuwa mgonjwa wa maradhi ya aina mbalimbali. Aliweka mikono yake juu ya kila mgonjwa na akawaponya wote.
And when the sun was down, all they that had any sick with divers diseases, brought them to him. But he laying his hands on every one of them, healed them.
41 Mapepo pia yaliwatoka wengi wao yakilia kwa sauti na kusema, “Wewe ni mwana wa Mungu!” Yesu aliwakemea mapepo na hakuwaruhusu waongee, kwa sababu walijua kwamba yeye alikuwa ni Kristo.
And devils went out from many, crying out and saying: Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them he suffered them not to speak, for they knew that he was Christ.
42 Wakati kulipopambazuka, alienda eneo lisilokuwa na watu. Makutano ya watu walikuwa wakimtafuta na wakaja katika eneo alilokuwapo. Walijaribu kumzuia asiende mbali na wao.
And when it was day, going out he went into a desert place, and the multitudes sought him, and came unto him: and they stayed him that he should not depart from them.
43 Lakini akawaambia, “Lazima pia nihubiri habari njema za ufalme wa Mungu katika miji mingine mingi, kwa kuwa hii ndiyo sababu nilitumwa hapa.”
To whom he said: To other cities also I must preach the kingdom of God: for therefore am I sent.
44 Kisha aliendelea kuhubiri ndani ya masinagogi katika uyahudi wote.
And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
