¹And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, turned back from the Jordan, and was brought in the Spirit to the wilderness,

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

²forty days being tempted by the Devil, and he did not eat anything in those days, and they having been 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 to him, `If Son thou art of God, speak to this stone that it may become bread.`

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

⁴And Jesus answered him, saying, `It hath been written, that, not on bread only shall man live, but on every saying of God.`

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

⁵And the Devil having brought him up to an high mountain, shewed to 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 to him, `To thee I will give all this authority, and their glory, because to me it hath been delivered, and to whomsoever I will, I do give it;

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

⁷thou, then, if thou mayest bow before me — all shall be thine.`

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

⁸And Jesus answering him said, `Get thee behind me, Adversary, for it hath been written, Thou shalt bow before the Lord thy God, and Him only thou shalt serve.`

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

⁹And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, `If the Son thou art of God, cast thyself down hence,

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

¹⁰for it hath been written — To His messengers He will give charge concerning thee, to guard over thee,

¹⁰kwa maana imeandikwa: Atawaamuru malaika wake wakulinde,

¹¹and — On hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou mayest dash against a stone thy foot.`

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

¹²And Jesus answering said to him — `It hath been said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.`

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

¹³And having ended all temptation, the Devil departed from him till a convenient season.

¹³Ibilisi alipokwishamjaribu kwa kila njia, akamwacha kwa muda.

¹⁴And Jesus turned back in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a fame went forth through all the region round about concerning him,

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

¹⁵and he was teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

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

¹⁶And he came to Nazareth, where he hath been brought up, and he went in, according to his custom, on the sabbath-day, to the synagogue, and stood up 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 given over to him a roll of Isaiah the prophet, and having unfolded the roll, he found the place where it hath been written:

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

¹⁸`The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, Because He did anoint me; To proclaim good news to the poor, Sent me to heal the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives deliverance, And to blind receiving of sight, To send away the bruised with deliverance,

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 proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.`

¹⁹na kutangaza mwaka wa neema ya Bwana."

²⁰And having folded the roll, having given [it] back to the officer, he sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing on him.

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

²¹And he began to say unto them — `To-day hath this writing been fulfilled in your ears;`

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

²²and all were bearing testimony to him, and were wondering at the gracious words that are coming forth out of his mouth, and they said, `Is not this the son of Joseph?`

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

²³And he said unto them, `Certainly ye will say to me this simile, Physician, heal thyself; as great things as we 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 to you — No prophet is accepted in his own country;

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

²⁵and of a truth I say to you, Many widows were in the days of Elijah, in Israel, when the heaven was shut for three years and six months, when great famine came on 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.

²⁶and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but — to Sarepta of Sidon, unto a woman, a widow;

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

²⁷and many lepers were in the time of Elisha the prophet, in Israel, and none of them was cleansed, but — 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 in the synagogue were filled with wrath, hearing these things,

²⁸Wote waliokuwa katika lile sunagogi waliposikia hayo walikasirika sana.

²⁹and having risen, they put him forth without the city, and brought him unto the brow of the hill on which their city had been built — to 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.

³⁰and he, having gone through the midst of them, went away.

³⁰Lakini Yesu akapita katikati yao, akaenda zake.

³¹And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the sabbaths,

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

³²and they were astonished at his teaching, because his word was with authority.

³²Wakastaajabia uwezo aliokuwa nao katika kufundisha.

³³And in the synagogue was a man, having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a great voice,

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

³⁴saying, `Away, what — to us and to thee, Jesus, O Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known 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 did rebuke him, saying, `Be silenced, and come forth out of him;` and the demon having cast him into the midst, came forth from him, having hurt him nought;

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 amazement came upon all, and they were speaking together, with one another, saying, `What [is] this word, that with authority and power he doth command the unclean spirits, and they come forth?`

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

³⁷and there was going forth a fame concerning him to every place of the region round about.

³⁷Habari zake zikaenea mahali pote katika mkoa ule.

³⁸And having risen out of the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon, and the mother-in-law of Simon was pressed with a great fever, and they did ask him about her,

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

³⁹and having stood over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her, and presently, having risen, she was ministering to them.

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

⁴⁰And at the setting of the sun, all, as many as had any ailing with manifold sicknesses, brought them unto him, and he on each one of them [his] hands having put, did heal them.

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

⁴¹And demons also were coming forth from many, crying out and saying — `Thou art the Christ, the Son of God;` and rebuking, he did not suffer them to speak, because they knew him to be the 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 day having come, having gone forth, he went on to a desert place, and the multitudes were seeking him, and they came unto him, and were staying him — not to go on 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 — `Also to the other cities it behoveth me to proclaim good news of the reign of God, because for this I have been sent;`

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

⁴⁴and he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

⁴⁴Akawa anahubiri katika masunagogi ya Yudea.
