1The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
1Habari Njema ya Yesu Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu.
2As it is written in Isaias the prophet: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare the way before thee.
2Ilianza kama ilivyoandikwa katika kitabu cha nabii Isaya: “Tazama, namtuma mjumbe wangu akutangulie; yeye atakutayarishia njia yako.
3A voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
3Sauti ya mtu imesikika jangwani: Mtayarishieni Bwana njia yake, nyoosheni mapito yake.”
4John was in the desert baptizing, and preaching the baptism of penance, unto remission of sins.
4Yohane Mbatizaji alitokea jangwani, akahubiri kwamba ni lazima watu watubu na kubatizwa ili Mungu awasamehe dhambi zao.
5And there went out to him all the country of Judea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptized by him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
5Watu kutoka sehemu zote za Yudea na wenyeji wote wa Yerusalemu walimwendea, wakaziungama dhambi zao, naye akawabatiza katika mto Yordani.
6And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and he ate 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 preached, saying: There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.
7Naye alihubiri akisema, “Baada yangu anakuja mwenye uwezo zaidi kuliko mimi, ambaye mimi sistahili hata kuinama na kufungua kamba za viatu vyake.
8I have baptized you with water; but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
8Mimi ninawabatiza kwa maji, lakini yeye atawabatiza kwa Roho Mtakatifu.”
9And it came to pass, in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
9Siku hizo, Yesu alifika kutoka Nazareti, mji wa Galilaya, akabatizwa na Yohane katika mto Yordani.
10And forthwith coming up out of he water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit as a dove descending, and remaining on him.
10Mara tu alipotoka majini, aliona mbingu zimefunguliwa, na Roho akishuka juu yake kama njiwa.
11And there came a voice from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
11Sauti ikasikika kutoka mbinguni: “Wewe ni Mwanangu mpendwa, nimependezwa nawe.”
12And immediately the Spirit drove him out into the desert.
12Mara akaongozwa na Roho kwenda jangwani,
13And he was in the desert forty days and forty nights, and was tempted by Satan; and he was with beasts, and the angels ministered to him.
13akakaa huko siku arubaini akijaribiwa na Shetani. Alikuwa huko pamoja na wanyama wa porini, nao malaika wakawa wanamtumikia.
14And after that John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
14Yohane alipokwisha fungwa gerezani, Yesu alikwenda Galilaya, akahubiri Habari Njema ya Mungu, akisema,
15And saying: The time is accomplished, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel.
15“Wakati umetimia, na Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia. Tubuni na kuiamini Habari Njema!”
16And passing by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting nets 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.
17And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
17Yesu akawaambia, “Nifuateni nami nitawafanya ninyi wavuvi wa watu.”
18And immediately leaving their nets, they followed him.
18Mara wakaziacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata.
19And going on from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were mending their nets in the ship:
19Alipokwenda mbele kidogo, aliwaona Yakobo na Yohane, wana wa Zebedayo. Nao pia walikuwa ndani ya mashua yao wakizitengeneza nyavu zao.
20And forthwith he called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired men, they followed him.
20Yesu akawaita mara, nao wakamwacha baba yao Zebedayo katika mashua pamoja na wafanyakazi, wakamfuata.
21And they entered into Capharnaum, and forthwith upon the sabbath days going into the synagogue, he taught them.
21Wakafika mjini Kafarnaumu, na mara ilipofika Sabato, Yesu akaingia katika Sunagogi, akaanza kufundisha.
22And they were astonished at his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one having power, 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.
23And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
23Mara akatokea mle ndani ya sunagogi mtu mmoja mwenye pepo mchafu,
24Saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know who thou art, 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!”
25And Jesus threatened him, saying: Speak no more, and go out of the man.
25Yesu akamkemea, “Nyamaza! Mtoke mtu huyu.”
26And the unclean spirit tearing him, and crying out with a loud voice, went out of him.
26Basi, huyo pepo mchafu akamtikisatikisa mtu huyo, kisha akalia kwa sauti kubwa, akamtoka.
27And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying: What thing is this? what is this new doctrine? for with power he commandeth 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 fame of him was spread forthwith into all the country of Galilee.
28Habari za Yesu zikaenea upesi kila mahali katika wilaya ya Galilaya.
29And immediately going out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
29Wakatoka katika sunagogi, wakaenda moja kwa moja hadi nyumbani kwa Simoni na Andrea; Yakobo na Yohane walikwenda pamoja nao.
30And Simon’s wife’s mother lay in a fit of a fever: and forthwith they tell him of her.
30Basi, mama mmoja, mkwewe Simoni, alikuwa kitandani ana homa kali. Wakamwarifu Yesu mara alipowasili.
31And coming to her, he lifted her up, taking her by the hand; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
31Yesu akamwendea huyo mama, akamshika mkono, akamwinua. Na ile homa ikamwacha, akaanza kuwatumikia.
32And when it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all that were ill and that were possessed with devils.
32Jioni, jua lilipokwisha tua, wakamletea Yesu wagonjwa wote na watu waliopagawa na pepo.
33And all the city was gathered together at the door.
33Watu wote wa mji ule wakakusanyika nje ya mlango.
34And he healed many that were troubled with divers diseases; and he cast out many devils, and he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him.
34Naye Yesu akawaponya watu wengi waliokuwa na magonjwa mbalimbali; aliwafukuza pepo wengi, lakini hakuwaruhusu kusema kitu maana walikuwa wanamjua yeye ni nani.
35And rising very early, going out, he went into a desert place: and there he prayed.
35Kesho yake, kabla ya mapambazuko, Yesu alitoka, akaenda mahali pa faragha kusali.
36And Simon, and they that were with him, followed after him.
36Simoni na wenzake wakaenda kumtafuta.
37And when they had found him, they said to him: All seek for thee.
37Walipomwona wakamwambia, “Kila mtu anakutafuta.”
38And he saith to them: Let us go into the neighbouring towns and cities, that I may preach there also; for to this purpose am I come.
38Yesu akawaambia, “Twendeni katika miji mingine ya jirani nikahubiri huko pia, maana nimekuja kwa sababu hiyo.”
39And he was preaching in their synagogues, and in all Galilee, and casting out devils.
39Basi, akaenda kila mahali Galilaya akihubiri katika masunagogi na kufukuza pepo.
40And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down said to him: If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
40Mtu mmoja mwenye ukoma alimwendea Yesu, akapiga magoti, akamwomba, “Ukitaka, waweza kunitakasa!”
41And Jesus having compassion on him, stretched forth his hand; and touching him, saith to him: I will. Be thou made clean.
41Yesu akamwonea huruma, akanyosha mkono wake, akamgusa na kumwambia, “Nataka, takasika!”
42And when he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.
42Mara ukoma ukamwacha mtu huyo, akatakasika.
43And he strictly charged him, and forthwith sent him away.
43Kisha Yesu akamwambia aende zake upesi na kumwonya vikali,
44And he saith to him: See thou tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the high priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things that Moses commanded, for 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 he being gone out, began to publish and to blaze abroad the word: so that he could not openly go into the city, but was without in desert places: and they flocked to him from all sides.
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.
