Mathayo 4
1 Kisha Roho alimwongoza Yesu mpaka jangwani ili ajaribiwe na Ibilisi.
Then Jesus was led up into the desert by the Spirit, to be tempted by the devil.
2 Akafunga siku arubaini mchana na usiku, na mwishowe akaona njaa.
And after he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he became hungry,
3 Basi, mshawishi akamjia, akamwambia, “Ikiwa wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, amuru mawe haya yawe mikate.”
So the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, bid these stones to become bread."
4 Yesu akamjibu, “Imeandikwa katika Maandiko Matakatifu: Binadamu hataishi kwa mikate tu, ila kwa kila neno asemalo Mungu.”
Jesus answered him, "It is written, Not by bread alone shall man live, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God."
5 Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka Yerusalemu, mji mtakatifu, akamweka juu ya mnara wa hekalu,
Then the devil took him up into the Holy City and stood him on the parapet of the temple,
6 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.”
and said to him. "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, "He will give his angels charge over thee; Upon their hands they will bear thee up, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."
7 Yesu akamwambia, “Imeandikwa pia: Usimjaribu Bwana, Mungu wako.”
"It is written again," answered Jesus, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."
8 Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka juu ya mlima mrefu, akamwonyesha falme zote za ulimwengu na fahari zake,
Then the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain, and showed all the kingdoms of the earth and the glory of them,
9 akamwambia, “Hivi vyote nitakupa kama tu ukipiga magoti na kuniabudu.”
and said to him, "All these will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me."
10 Hapo, Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda zako Shetani! Imeandikwa: Utamwabudu Bwana Mungu wako na kumtumikia yeye peke yake.”
"Begone, Satan!" answered Jesus, "for it is written, "Thou must worship the Lord thy God, and Him only must thou serve."
11 Basi, Ibilisi akamwacha, na malaika wakaja, wakamhudumia.
Then the devil left him, and behold! angels came and began ministering to him.
12 Yesu aliposikia kwamba Yohane ametiwa gerezani alikwenda Galilaya.
Now when Jesus heard that Johnhad been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee.
13 Aliondoka Nazareti, akaenda Kafarnaumu, mji ulio kando ya bahari ya Genesareti, mpakani mwa wilaya za Zabuloni na Naftali, akakaa huko.
He left Nazareth, and settled in Capernaum-by-the-Lake, near the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 Ndivyo lilivyotimia lile neno lililosemwa kwa njia ya nabii Isaya:
in order that these words spoken through Isaiah the prophet, might be fulfilled.
15 “Nchi ya Zabuloni na nchi ya Naftali, kuelekea baharini ng'ambo ya mto Yordani, Galilaya nchi ya watu wa Mataifa!
Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali; The road by the Lake; the country beyond Jordan; Galilee of the Gentiles!
16 Watu waliokaa gizani wameona mwanga mkubwa. Nao walioishi katika nchi ya giza na kivuli cha kifo, mwanga umewaangazia!”
The people who were dwelling in darkness Have seen a great light; And on those who were dwelling in the land of the shadows of death Light has dawned.
17 Tangu wakati huo Yesu alianza kuhubiri akisema, “Tubuni, maana ufalme wa mbinguni umekaribia!”
From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is near."
18 Yesu alipokuwa anatembea kando ya ziwa Galilaya, aliwaona ndugu wawili wavuvi; Simoni (aitwae Petro) na Andrea, ndugu yake; walikuwa wakivua samaki kwa nyavu ziwani.
And as he was walking by the see of Galilee, he saw two brothers- Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother-casting their net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
19 Basi, akawaambia, “Nifuateni, nami nitawafanya ninyi wavuvi wa watu.”
"Come, follow me," said Jesus, "And I will make you fishers of men."
20 Mara wakaziacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata.
And they dropped their nets at once, and followed him.
21 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,
As he went farther on he saw two other brothers, Jamesthe son of Zebedee, and Johnhis brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them.
22 nao mara wakaiacha mashua pamoja na baba yao, wakamfuata.
They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
23 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.
Then Jesus went about through Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and infirmity among the people.
24 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.
And his fame spread throughout all Syria. They brought all the sick to him, those who were suffering from various diseases and troubles- demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics-and he healed them.
25 Makundi mengi ya watu kutoka Galilaya, Dekapoli, Yerusalemu, Yudea na ng'ambo ya mto Yordani, walimfuata.
Great crowds followed him from Galilee, from the ten towns, from Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond Jordan.
