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

¹Kisha Roho alimwongoza Yesu mpaka jangwani ili ajaribiwe na Ibilisi.

²And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward hungered.

²Akafunga siku arubaini mchana na usiku, na mwishowe akaona njaa.

³And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.

³Basi, mshawishi akamjia, akamwambia, "Ikiwa wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, amuru mawe haya yawe mikate."

⁴But 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.

⁴Yesu akamjibu, "Imeandikwa katika Maandiko Matakatifu: Binadamu hataishi kwa mikate tu, ila kwa kila neno asemalo Mungu."

⁵Then the devil taketh him into the holy city; and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

⁵Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka Yerusalemu, mji mtakatifu, akamweka juu ya mnara wa hekalu,

⁶and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and, On their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.

⁶akamwambia, "Ikiwa wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, jitupe chini; maana imeandikwa: Mungu atawaamuru malaika wake kwa ajili yako; watakuchukua mikononi mwao, usije ukajikwaa kwenye jiwe."

⁷Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God.

⁷Yesu akamwambia, "Imeandikwa pia: Usimjaribu Bwana, Mungu wako."

⁸Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

⁸Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka juu ya mlima mrefu, akamwonyesha falme zote za ulimwengu na fahari zake,

⁹and he said unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

⁹akamwambia, "Hivi vyote nitakupa kama tu ukipiga magoti na kuniabudu."

¹⁰Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

¹⁰Hapo, Yesu akamwambia, "Nenda zako Shetani! Imeandikwa: Utamwabudu Bwana Mungu wako na kumtumikia yeye peke yake."

¹¹Then the devil leaveth him; and behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

¹¹Basi, Ibilisi akamwacha, na malaika wakaja, wakamhudumia.

¹²Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee;

¹²Yesu aliposikia kwamba Yohane ametiwa gerezani alikwenda Galilaya.

¹³and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali:

¹³Aliondoka Nazareti, akaenda Kafarnaumu, mji ulio kando ya bahari ya Genesareti, mpakani mwa wilaya za Zabuloni na Naftali, akakaa huko.

¹⁴that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

¹⁴Ndivyo lilivyotimia lile neno lililosemwa kwa njia ya nabii Isaya:

¹⁵The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,

¹⁵"Nchi ya Zabuloni na nchi ya Naftali, kuelekea baharini ng'ambo ya mto Yordani, Galilaya nchi ya watu wa Mataifa!

¹⁶The people that sat in darkness Saw a great light, And to them that sat in the region and shadow of death, To them did light spring up.

¹⁶Watu waliokaa gizani wameona mwanga mkubwa. Nao walioishi katika nchi ya giza na kivuli cha kifo, mwanga umewaangazia!"

¹⁷From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

¹⁷Tangu wakati huo Yesu alianza kuhubiri akisema, "Tubuni, maana ufalme wa mbinguni umekaribia!"

¹⁸And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers.

¹⁸Yesu alipokuwa anatembea kando ya ziwa Galilaya, aliwaona ndugu wawili wavuvi; Simoni (aitwae Petro) na Andrea, ndugu yake; walikuwa wakivua samaki kwa nyavu ziwani.

¹⁹And he saith unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

¹⁹Basi, akawaambia, "Nifuateni, nami nitawafanya ninyi wavuvi wa watu."

²⁰And they straightway left the nets, and followed him.

²⁰Mara wakaziacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata.

²¹And going on from thence he saw two other brethren, James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

²¹Alipokwenda 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,

²²And they straightway left the boat and their father, and followed him.

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

²³And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the people.

²³Yesu 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.

²⁴And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought unto him all that were sick, holden with divers diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them.

²⁴Habari 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.

²⁵And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and [from] beyond the Jordan.

²⁵Makundi mengi ya watu kutoka Galilaya, Dekapoli, Yerusalemu, Yudea na ng'ambo ya mto Yordani, walimfuata.
