1
Kisha Yesu alipandishwa na Roho nyikani, ili ajaribiwe na Ibilisi.
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2
Akafunga siku arobaini mchana na usiku, mwisho akaona njaa.
After fasting forty days and forty nights, He was hungry.
3
Mjaribu akamjia akamwambia, Ukiwa ndiwe Mwana wa Mungu, amuru kwamba mawe haya yawe mikate.
The tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
4
Naye akajibu akasema, Imeandikwa, Mtu hataishi kwa mkate tu, ila kwa kila neno litokalo katika kinywa cha Mungu.
But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
5
Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka mji mtakatifu, akamweka juu ya kinara cha hekalu,
Then the devil took Him to the holy city and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple.
6
akamwambia, Ukiwa ndiwe Mwana wa Mungu jitupe chini; kwa maana imeandikwa, Atakuagizia malaika zake; Na mikononi mwao watakuchukua; Usije ukajikwaa mguu wako katika jiwe.
“If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You, and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”
7
Yesu akamwambia, Tena imeandikwa, Usimjaribu Bwana Mungu wako.
Jesus replied, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
8
Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka mlima mrefu mno, akamwonyesha milki zote za ulimwengu, na fahari yake,
Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
9
akamwambia, Haya yote nitakupa, ukianguka kunisujudia.
“All this I will give You,” he said, “if You will fall down and worship me.”
10
Ndipo Yesu alipomwambia, Nenda zako, Shetani; kwa maana imeandikwa, Msujudie Bwana Mungu wako, umwabudu yeye peke yake.
“Away from Me, Satan!” Jesus told him. “For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”
11
Kisha Ibilisi akamwacha; na tazama, wakaja malaika wakamtumikia.
Then the devil left Him, and angels came and ministered to Him.
12
Basi Yesu aliposikia ya kwamba Yohana amefungwa, alikwenda zake mpaka Galilaya;
When Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, He withdrew to Galilee.
13
akatoka Nazareti, akaja akakaa Kapernaumu, mji ulioko pwani, mipakani mwa Zabuloni na Naftali;
Leaving Nazareth, He went and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14
ili litimie neno lililonenwa na nabii Isaya, akisema,
to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
15
Nchi ya Zabuloni na nchi ya Naftali, Njia ya bahari, ng'ambo ya Yordani, Galilaya ya mataifa,
“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—
16
Watu wale waliokaa katika giza Wameona mwanga mkuu, Nao waliokaa katika nchi na uvuli wa mauti Mwanga umewazukia.
the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.”
17
Tokea wakati huo Yesu alianza kuhubiri, na kusema, Tubuni; kwa maana ufalme wa mbinguni umekaribia.
From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
18
Naye alipokuwa akitembea kando ya bahari ya Galilaya, aliona ndugu wawili, Simoni aitwaye Petro, na Andrea nduguye, wakitupa jarife baharini; kwa maana walikuwa wavuvi.
As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
19
Akawaambia, Nifuateni, nami nitawafanya kuwa wavuvi wa watu.
“Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
20
Mara wakaziacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata.
And at once they left their nets and followed Him.
21
Akaendelea mbele, akaona ndugu wengine wawili, Yakobo wa Zebedayo, na Yohana nduguye, ambao walikuwamo chomboni pamoja na Zebedayo baba yao, wakizitengeneza nyavu zao; akawaita.
Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. Jesus called them,
22
Mara wakakiacha chombo na baba yao, wakamfuata.
and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him.
23
Naye alikuwa akizunguka katika Galilaya yote, akifundisha katika masinagogi yao, na kuihubiri Habari Njema ya ufalme, na kuponya ugonjwa na udhaifu wa kila namna katika watu.
Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.
24
Na habari zake zikaenea katika Shamu yote; wakamletea wote waliokuwa hawawezi, walioshikwa na maradhi mbalimbali na mateso, wenye pepo, na wenye kifafa, na wenye kupooza; akawaponya.
News about Him spread all over Syria, and people brought to Him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering acute pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and He healed them.
25
Na makutano mengi wakamfuata, kutoka Galilaya, na Dekapoli, na Yerusalemu, na Uyahudi, na ng'ambo ya Yordani
Large crowds followed Him, having come from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
