Mathayo 4
1 Kisha Roho alimwongoza Yesu mpaka jangwani ili ajaribiwe na Ibilisi.
Then was Jesus led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2 Akafunga siku arubaini mchana na usiku, na mwishowe akaona njaa.
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward hungry.
3 Basi, mshawishi akamjia, akamwambia, “Ikiwa wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, amuru mawe haya yawe mikate.”
And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 Yesu akamjibu, “Imeandikwa katika Maandiko Matakatifu: Binadamu hataishi kwa mikate tu, ila kwa kila neno asemalo Mungu.”
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka Yerusalemu, mji mtakatifu, akamweka juu ya mnara wa hekalu,
Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle 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 saith to him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall uphold, thee, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Yesu akamwambia, “Imeandikwa pia: Usimjaribu Bwana, Mungu wako.”
Jesus said to him, It is written again, 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,
Again, the devil taketh him up upon an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 akamwambia, “Hivi vyote nitakupa kama tu ukipiga magoti na kuniabudu.”
And saith to him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Hapo, Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda zako Shetani! Imeandikwa: Utamwabudu Bwana Mungu wako na kumtumikia yeye peke yake.”
Then saith Jesus to him, Away with thee, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Basi, Ibilisi akamwacha, na malaika wakaja, wakamhudumia.
Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered to him.
12 Yesu aliposikia kwamba Yohane ametiwa gerezani alikwenda Galilaya.
Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
13 Aliondoka Nazareti, akaenda Kafarnaumu, mji ulio kando ya bahari ya Genesareti, mpakani mwa wilaya za Zabuloni na Naftali, akakaa huko.
And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali:
14 Ndivyo lilivyotimia lile neno lililosemwa kwa njia ya nabii Isaya:
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
15 “Nchi ya Zabuloni na nchi ya Naftali, kuelekea baharini ng'ambo ya mto Yordani, Galilaya nchi ya watu wa Mataifa!
The land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, 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 sat in darkness saw great light; and to them who sat in the region and shadow of death light hath shone.
17 Tangu wakati huo Yesu alianza kuhubiri akisema, “Tubuni, maana ufalme wa mbinguni umekaribia!”
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
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 Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen.
19 Basi, akawaambia, “Nifuateni, nami nitawafanya ninyi wavuvi wa watu.”
And he saith to them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 Mara wakaziacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata.
And they immediately left their nets, 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,
And going on from there, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
22 nao mara wakaiacha mashua pamoja na baba yao, wakamfuata.
And 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.
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease 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: and they brought to him all sick people that were sick with various diseases and torments, and those who were possessed with demons, and those who were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
25 Makundi mengi ya watu kutoka Galilaya, Dekapoli, Yerusalemu, Yudea na ng'ambo ya mto Yordani, walimfuata.
And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
