1This is the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
1Habari Njema ya Yesu Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu.
2As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way.”
2Ilianza kama ilivyoandikwa katika kitabu cha nabii Isaya: “Tazama, namtuma mjumbe wangu akutangulie; yeye atakutayarishia njia yako.
3“A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.’”
3Sauti ya mtu imesikika jangwani: Mtayarishieni Bwana njia yake, nyoosheni mapito yake.”
4John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
4Yohane Mbatizaji alitokea jangwani, akahubiri kwamba ni lazima watu watubu na kubatizwa ili Mungu awasamehe dhambi zao.
5People went out to him from all of Jerusalem and the countryside of Judea. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
5Watu kutoka sehemu zote za Yudea na wenyeji wote wa Yerusalemu walimwendea, wakaziungama dhambi zao, naye akawabatiza katika mto Yordani.
6John was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
6Yohane alikuwa amevaa vazi lililofumwa kwa manyoya ya ngamia, na mkanda wa ngozi kiunoni mwake. Chakula chake kilikuwa nzige na asali ya mwituni.
7And he began to proclaim: “After me will come One more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
7Naye alihubiri akisema, “Baada yangu anakuja mwenye uwezo zaidi kuliko mimi, ambaye mimi sistahili hata kuinama na kufungua kamba za viatu vyake.
8I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
8Mimi ninawabatiza kwa maji, lakini yeye atawabatiza kwa Roho Mtakatifu.”
9In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
9Siku hizo, Yesu alifika kutoka Nazareti, mji wa Galilaya, akabatizwa na Yohane katika mto Yordani.
10As soon as Jesus came up out of the water, He saw the heavens breaking open and the Spirit descending on Him like a dove.
10Mara tu alipotoka majini, aliona mbingu zimefunguliwa, na Roho akishuka juu yake kama njiwa.
11And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
11Sauti ikasikika kutoka mbinguni: “Wewe ni Mwanangu mpendwa, nimependezwa nawe.”
12At once the Spirit drove Jesus into the wilderness,
12Mara akaongozwa na Roho kwenda jangwani,
13and He was there for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to Him.
13akakaa huko siku arubaini akijaribiwa na Shetani. Alikuwa huko pamoja na wanyama wa porini, nao malaika wakawa wanamtumikia.
14After the arrest of John, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God.
14Yohane alipokwisha fungwa gerezani, Yesu alikwenda Galilaya, akahubiri Habari Njema ya Mungu, akisema,
15“The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”
15“Wakati umetimia, na Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia. Tubuni na kuiamini Habari Njema!”
16As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
16Alipokuwa anapita kando ya ziwa Galilaya, aliwaona wavuvi wawili: Simoni na Andrea ndugu yake wakivua samaki kwa wavu.
17“Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
17Yesu akawaambia, “Nifuateni nami nitawafanya ninyi wavuvi wa watu.”
18And at once they left their nets and followed Him.
18Mara wakaziacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata.
19Going on a little farther, He saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat, mending their nets.
19Alipokwenda mbele kidogo, aliwaona Yakobo na Yohane, wana wa Zebedayo. Nao pia walikuwa ndani ya mashua yao wakizitengeneza nyavu zao.
20Immediately Jesus called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed Him.
20Yesu akawaita mara, nao wakamwacha baba yao Zebedayo katika mashua pamoja na wafanyakazi, wakamfuata.
21Then Jesus and His companions went to Capernaum, and right away Jesus entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and began to teach.
21Wakafika mjini Kafarnaumu, na mara ilipofika Sabato, Yesu akaingia katika Sunagogi, akaanza kufundisha.
22The people were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
22Watu wote waliomsikia walishangazwa na mafundisho yake, maana hakuwa anafundisha kama walimu wao wa Sheria, bali kama mtu mwenye mamlaka.
23Suddenly a man with an unclean spirit cried out in the synagogue:
23Mara akatokea mle ndani ya sunagogi mtu mmoja mwenye pepo mchafu,
24“What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”
24akapaaza sauti, “Una nini nasi, wewe Yesu wa Nazareti? Je, umekuja kutuangamiza? Najua wewe ni nani: wewe ni Mtakatifu wa Mungu!”
25But Jesus rebuked the spirit. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!”
25Yesu akamkemea, “Nyamaza! Mtoke mtu huyu.”
26At this, the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and came out with a loud shriek.
26Basi, huyo pepo mchafu akamtikisatikisa mtu huyo, kisha akalia kwa sauti kubwa, akamtoka.
27All the people were amazed and began to ask one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
27Watu wote wakashangaa, wakaulizana, “Ni mambo gani haya? Je, ni mafundisho mapya? Mtu huyu anayo mamlaka ya kuamuru hata pepo wachafu, nao wanamtii!”
28And the news about Jesus spread quickly through the whole region of Galilee.
28Habari za Yesu zikaenea upesi kila mahali katika wilaya ya Galilaya.
29As soon as Jesus and His companions had left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.
29Wakatoka katika sunagogi, wakaenda moja kwa moja hadi nyumbani kwa Simoni na Andrea; Yakobo na Yohane walikwenda pamoja nao.
30Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, and they promptly told Jesus about her.
30Basi, mama mmoja, mkwewe Simoni, alikuwa kitandani ana homa kali. Wakamwarifu Yesu mara alipowasili.
31So He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to serve them.
31Yesu akamwendea huyo mama, akamshika mkono, akamwinua. Na ile homa ikamwacha, akaanza kuwatumikia.
32That evening, after sunset, people brought to Jesus all who were sick and demon-possessed,
32Jioni, jua lilipokwisha tua, wakamletea Yesu wagonjwa wote na watu waliopagawa na pepo.
33and the whole town gathered at the door.
33Watu wote wa mji ule wakakusanyika nje ya mlango.
34And He healed many who were ill with various diseases and drove out many demons. But He would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
34Naye Yesu akawaponya watu wengi waliokuwa na magonjwa mbalimbali; aliwafukuza pepo wengi, lakini hakuwaruhusu kusema kitu maana walikuwa wanamjua yeye ni nani.
35Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and slipped out to a solitary place to pray.
35Kesho yake, kabla ya mapambazuko, Yesu alitoka, akaenda mahali pa faragha kusali.
36Simon and his companions went to look for Him,
36Simoni na wenzake wakaenda kumtafuta.
37and when they found Him, they said, “Everyone is looking for You!”
37Walipomwona wakamwambia, “Kila mtu anakutafuta.”
38But Jesus answered, “Let us go on to the neighboring towns so I can preach there as well, for that is why I have come.”
38Yesu akawaambia, “Twendeni katika miji mingine ya jirani nikahubiri huko pia, maana nimekuja kwa sababu hiyo.”
39So He went throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
39Basi, akaenda kila mahali Galilaya akihubiri katika masunagogi na kufukuza pepo.
40Then a leper came to Jesus, begging on his knees: “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”
40Mtu mmoja mwenye ukoma alimwendea Yesu, akapiga magoti, akamwomba, “Ukitaka, waweza kunitakasa!”
41Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”
41Yesu akamwonea huruma, akanyosha mkono wake, akamgusa na kumwambia, “Nataka, takasika!”
42And immediately the leprosy left him, and the man was cleansed.
42Mara ukoma ukamwacha mtu huyo, akatakasika.
43Jesus promptly sent him away with a stern warning:
43Kisha Yesu akamwambia aende zake upesi na kumwonya vikali,
44“See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
44“Usimwambie mtu yeyote jambo hili, ila nenda ukajionyeshe kwa kuhani; kisha utoe sadaka kwa ajili ya kutakasika kwako kama alivyoamuru Mose, iwe uthibitisho kwao kwamba umepona.”
45But the man went out and openly began to proclaim and spread the news. Consequently, Jesus could no longer enter a town in plain view, but He stayed out in solitary places. Yet people came to Him from every quarter.
45Lakini huyo mtu akaenda, akaanza kueneza habari hiyo kila mahali na kusema mambo mengi hata Yesu hakuweza tena kuingia katika mji wowote waziwazi; ikamlazimu kukaa nje, mahali pa faragha. Hata hivyo, watu wakamwendea kutoka kila upande.
