Matthew 4

1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

1 Kisha Yesu akaongozwa na Roho Mtakatifu kwenda nyikani ili akajaribiwe na ibilisi.

2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, He was hungry.

2 Baada ya kufunga siku arobaini usiku na mchana, hatimaye akaona njaa.

3 The tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

3 Mjaribu akamjia na kumwambia, “Ikiwa wewe ndiye Mwana wa Mungu, amuru mawe haya yawe mikate.”

4 But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

4 Lakini Yesu akajibu, “Imeandikwa: ‘Mtu haishi kwa mkate tu, ila kwa kila neno litokalo katika kinywa cha Mungu.’”

5 Then the devil took Him to the holy city and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple.

5 Ndipo ibilisi akamchukua Yesu mpaka mji mtakatifu na kumweka juu ya mnara mrefu wa Hekalu,

6 “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.’”

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.’”

7 Jesus replied, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

7 Yesu akamjibu, “Pia imeandikwa: ‘Usimjaribu Bwana Mungu wako.’”

8 Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

8 Kwa mara nyingine, ibilisi akamchukua Yesu mpaka kwenye kilele cha mlima mrefu na kumwonyesha falme zote za dunia na fahari zake,

9 “All this I will give You,” he said, “if You will fall down and worship me.”

9 kisha akamwambia, “Nitakupa hivi vyote kama ukinisujudia na kuniabudu.”

10 “Away from Me, Satan!” Jesus told him. “For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

10 Yesu akamwambia, “Ondoka mbele yangu, Shetani! Kwa maana imeandikwa, ‘Mwabudu Bwana Mungu wako, na umtumikie yeye peke yake.’”

11 Then the devil left Him, and angels came and ministered to Him.

11 Ndipo ibilisi akamwacha, nao malaika wakaja na kumhudumia.

12 When Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, He withdrew to Galilee.

12 Yesu aliposikia kwamba Yohana Mbatizaji alikuwa ametiwa gerezani, alirudi Galilaya.

13 Leaving Nazareth, He went and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,

13 Akaondoka Nazareti akaenda kuishi Kapernaumu, mji ulioko karibu na bahari, katika mipaka ya nchi ya Zabuloni na Naftali,

14 to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

14 ili kutimiza unabii wa nabii Isaya, kama alivyosema:

15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—

15 “Nchi ya Zabuloni na nchi ya Naftali, kwenye njia ya kuelekea baharini, ngʼambo ya Yordani, Galilaya ya watu wa Mataifa:

16 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.”

16 watu wale waliokaa gizani wameona nuru kuu; nao wale walioishi katika nchi ya uvuli wa mauti, nuru imewazukia.”

17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

17 Tangu wakati huo, Yesu alianza kuhubiri akisema: “Tubuni, kwa maana Ufalme wa Mbinguni umekaribia.”

18 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.

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.

19 “Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”

19 Yesu akawaambia, “Njooni, nifuateni nami nitawafanya mwe wavuvi wa watu.”

20 And at once they left their nets and followed Him.

20 Mara wakaziacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata.

21 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,

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.

22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him.

22 Nao mara wakaiacha mashua yao, pamoja na baba yao, wakamfuata.

23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.

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.

24 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.

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.

25 Large crowds followed Him, having come from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

25 Makutano makubwa ya watu yakawa yanamjia kutoka Galilaya, Dekapoli, Yerusalemu, Uyahudi na kutoka ngʼambo ya Mto Yordani.
