¹And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

¹Yesu alitoka katika mto Yordani akiwa amejaa Roho Mtakatifu, akaongozwa na Roho mpaka jangwani.

²Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.

²Huko alijaribiwa na Ibilisi kwa muda wa siku arubaini. Wakati huo wote hakula chochote, na baada ya siku hizo akasikia njaa.

³And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.

³Ndipo Ibilisi akamwambia, "Kama wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, amuru jiwe hili liwe mkate."

⁴And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

⁴Yesu akamjibu, "Imeandikwa: Mtu haishi kwa mkate tu."

⁵And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁵Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua hadi mahali pa juu, akamwonyesha kwa mara moja falme zote za ulimwengu. Huyo Shetani akamwambia,

⁶And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

⁶"Nitakupa uwezo juu ya falme zote hizi na fahari zake, kwa maana nimepewa hivi vyote; nikitaka kumpa mtu ninaweza.

⁷If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

⁷Hivi vyote vitakuwa mali yako wewe, kama ukiniabudu."

⁸And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

⁸Yesu akamjibu, "Imeandikwa: Utamwabudu Bwana Mungu wako, na utamtumikia yeye peke yake."

⁹And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:

⁹Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka Yerusalemu, kwenye mnara wa Hekalu, akamwambia, "Kama wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu,

¹⁰For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:

¹⁰kwa maana imeandikwa: Atawaamuru malaika wake wakulinde,

¹¹And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

¹¹na tena, Watakuchukua mikononi mwao usije ukajikwaa mguu wako kwenye jiwe."

¹²And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

¹²Lakini Yesu akamjibu, "Imeandikwa: Usimjaribu Bwana Mungu wako."

¹³And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.

¹³Ibilisi alipokwishamjaribu kwa kila njia, akamwacha kwa muda.

¹⁴And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

¹⁴Yesu alirudi Galilaya akiwa amejaa nguvu za Roho Mtakatifu, na habari zake zikaenea katika sehemu zote za jirani.

¹⁵And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

¹⁵Naye akawa anawafundisha watu katika masunagogi yao, akasifiwa na wote.

¹⁶And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.

¹⁶Basi, Yesu alikwenda Nazareti, mahali alipolelewa, na siku ya Sabato, aliingia katika sunagogi, kama ilivyokuwa desturi yake. Akasimama ili asome Maandiko Matakatifu kwa sauti.

¹⁷And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

¹⁷Akapokea kitabu cha nabii Isaya, akakifungua na akakuta mahali palipoandikwa:

¹⁸The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

¹⁸"Roho wa Bwana yu juu yangu, kwani amenipaka mafuta niwahubirie maskini Habari Njema. Amenituma niwatangazie mateka watapata uhuru, vipofu watapata kuona tena; amenituma niwakomboe wanaoonewa,

¹⁹To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

¹⁹na kutangaza mwaka wa neema ya Bwana."

²⁰And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

²⁰Baada ya kusoma, akafunga kile kitabu, akampa mtumishi, kisha akaketi; watu wote wakamkodolea macho.

²¹And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

²¹Naye akaanza kuwaambia, "Andiko hili mlilosikia likisomwa, limetimia leo."

²²And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

²²Wote wakavutiwa sana naye, wakastaajabia maneno mazuri aliyosema. Wakanena, "Je, huyu si mwana wa Yosefu?"

²³And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.

²³Naye akawaambia, "Bila shaka mtaniambia msemo huu: Mganga jiponye mwenyewe, na pia mtasema: Yote tuliyosikia umeyafanya kule Kafarnaumu, yafanye hapa pia katika kijiji chako."

²⁴And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.

²⁴Akaendelea kusema, "Hakika nawaambieni, nabii hatambuliwi katika kijiji chake.

²⁵But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;

²⁵Lakini, sikilizeni! Kweli kulikuwa na wajane wengi katika nchi ya Israeli nyakati za Eliya. Wakati huo mvua iliacha kunyesha kwa muda wa miaka mitatu na nusu; kukawa na njaa kubwa katika nchi yote.

²⁶But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

²⁶Hata hivyo, Eliya hakutumwa kwa mjane yeyote ila kwa mwanamke mjane wa Sarepta, Sidoni.

²⁷And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

²⁷Tena, katika nchi ya Israeli nyakati za Elisha kulikuwa na wenye ukoma wengi. Hata hivyo, hakuna yeyote aliyetakaswa ila tu Naamani, mwenyeji wa Siria."

²⁸And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,

²⁸Wote waliokuwa katika lile sunagogi waliposikia hayo walikasirika sana.

²⁹And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.

²⁹Wakasimama, wakamtoa nje ya mji wao uliokuwa umejengwa juu ya kilima, wakampeleka mpaka kwenye ukingo wa kilima hicho ili wamtupe chini.

³⁰But he passing through the midst of them went his way,

³⁰Lakini Yesu akapita katikati yao, akaenda zake.

³¹And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.

³¹Kisha Yesu akashuka mpaka Kafarnaumu katika mkoa wa Galilaya, akawa anawafundisha watu siku ya Sabato.

³²And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.

³²Wakastaajabia uwezo aliokuwa nao katika kufundisha.

³³And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,

³³Na katika lile sunagogi kulikuwa na mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na roho ya pepo mchafu; akapiga ukelele wa kuziba masikio:

³⁴Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.

³⁴"We! Yesu wa Nazareti! Kwa nini unatuingilia? Je, umekuja kutuangamiza? Ninakufahamu wewe ni nani. Wewe ni mjumbe Mtakatifu wa Mungu!"

³⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.

³⁵Lakini Yesu akamkemea huyo pepo akisema: "Nyamaza! Mtoke mtu huyu!" Basi, huyo pepo baada ya kumwangusha yule mtu chini, akamtoka bila kumdhuru hata kidogo.

³⁶And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.

³⁶Watu wote wakashangaa, wakawa wanaambiana, "Hili ni jambo la ajabu, maana kwa uwezo na nguvu anawaamuru pepo wachafu watoke, nao wanatoka!"

³⁷And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.

³⁷Habari zake zikaenea mahali pote katika mkoa ule.

³⁸And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.

³⁸Yesu alitoka katika lile sunagogi, akaenda nyumbani kwa Simoni. Mama mmoja, mkwewe Simoni, alikuwa na homa kali; wakamwomba amponye.

³⁹And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

³⁹Yesu akaenda akasimama karibu naye, akaikemea ile homa, nayo ikamwacha. Mara yule mama akainuka, akawatumikia.

⁴⁰Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.

⁴⁰Jua lilipokuwa linatua, wote waliokuwa na wagonjwa wao mbalimbali waliwaleta kwake; naye akaweka mikono yake juu ya kila mmoja wao, akawaponya wote.

⁴¹And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.

⁴¹Pepo waliwatoka watu wengi, wakapiga kelele wakisema: "Wewe u Mwana wa Mungu!" Lakini Yesu akawakemea, wala hakuwaruhusu kusema, maana walimfahamu kwamba yeye ndiye Kristo.

⁴²And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.

⁴²Kesho yake asubuhi Yesu aliondoka akaenda mahali pa faragha. Watu wakawa wanamtafuta, na walipofika mahali alipokuwa, wakajaribu kumzuia ili asiondoke kwao.

⁴³And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.

⁴³Lakini yeye akawaambia, "Ninapaswa kuhubiri Habari Njema za Ufalme wa Mungu katika miji mingine pia, maana nilitumwa kwa ajili hiyo."

⁴⁴And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

⁴⁴Akawa anahubiri katika masunagogi ya Yudea.
