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

¹And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led in the Spirit in the wilderness

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

²during forty days, being tempted of the devil. And he did eat nothing in those days: and when they were completed, he hungered.

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

³And the devil said unto him, if thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it become bread.

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

⁴And Jesus answered unto him, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone.

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

⁵And he led him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

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

⁶And the devil said unto him, To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them: for it hath been delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

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

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

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

⁸And Jesus answered and said unto him, It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

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

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

¹⁰kwa maana imeandikwa: Atawaamuru malaika wake wakulinde,

¹⁰for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to guard thee:

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

¹¹and, On their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.

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

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

¹³Ibilisi alipokwishamjaribu kwa kila njia, akamwacha kwa muda.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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,

¹⁸The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised,

¹⁹na kutangaza mwaka wa neema ya Bwana."

¹⁹To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.

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

²⁰And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down: and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.

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

²¹And he began to say unto them, To-day hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears.

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

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

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

²³And he said unto them, Doubtless ye will say unto me this parable, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in thine own country.

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

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

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.

²⁵But of a truth I say unto you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land;

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

²⁶and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

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

²⁷And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.

²⁸Wote waliokuwa katika lile sunagogi waliposikia hayo walikasirika sana.

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

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

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

³⁰Lakini Yesu akapita katikati yao, akaenda zake.

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

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

³¹And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the sabbath day:

³²Wakastaajabia uwezo aliokuwa nao katika kufundisha.

³²and they were astonished at his teaching; for his word was with authority.

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

³³And in the synagogue there was a man, that had a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,

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

³⁴Ah! what have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

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

³⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no hurt.

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

³⁶And amazement came upon all, and they spake together, one with another, saying, What is this word? for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.

³⁷Habari zake zikaenea mahali pote katika mkoa ule.

³⁷And there went forth a rumor concerning him into every place of the region round about.

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

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

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

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

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

⁴⁰And 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.

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

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

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

⁴²And when it was day, he came out and went into a desert place: and the multitudes sought after him, and came unto him, and would have stayed him, that he should not go from them.

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

⁴³But he said unto them, I must preach the good tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also: for therefore was I sent.

⁴⁴Akawa anahubiri katika masunagogi ya Yudea.

⁴⁴And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
