Luka 4
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1Yesu alitoka katika mto Yordani akiwa amejaa Roho Mtakatifu, akaongozwa na Roho mpaka jangwani.
1Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2Huko alijaribiwa na Ibilisi kwa muda wa siku arubaini. Wakati huo wote hakula chochote, na baada ya siku hizo akasikia njaa.
2where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.
3Ndipo Ibilisi akamwambia, “Kama wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, amuru jiwe hili liwe mkate.”
3The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”
4Yesu akamjibu, “Imeandikwa: Mtu haishi kwa mkate tu.”
4But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”
5Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua hadi mahali pa juu, akamwonyesha kwa mara moja falme zote za ulimwengu. Huyo Shetani akamwambia,
5Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.
6“Nitakupa uwezo juu ya falme zote hizi na fahari zake, kwa maana nimepewa hivi vyote; nikitaka kumpa mtu ninaweza.
6“I will give You authority over all these kingdoms and all their glory,” he said. “For it has been relinquished to me, and I can give it to anyone I wish.
7Hivi vyote vitakuwa mali yako wewe, kama ukiniabudu.”
7So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”
8Yesu akamjibu, “Imeandikwa: Utamwabudu Bwana Mungu wako, na utamtumikia yeye peke yake.”
8But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”
9Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka Yerusalemu, kwenye mnara wa Hekalu, akamwambia, “Kama wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu,
9Then the devil led Him to Jerusalem and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple. “If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down from here.
10kwa maana imeandikwa: Atawaamuru malaika wake wakulinde,
10For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully;
11na tena, Watakuchukua mikononi mwao usije ukajikwaa mguu wako kwenye jiwe.”
11and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”
12Lakini Yesu akamjibu, “Imeandikwa: Usimjaribu Bwana Mungu wako.”
12But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
13Ibilisi alipokwishamjaribu kwa kila njia, akamwacha kwa muda.
13When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.
14Yesu alirudi Galilaya akiwa amejaa nguvu za Roho Mtakatifu, na habari zake zikaenea katika sehemu zote za jirani.
14Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.
15Naye akawa anawafundisha watu katika masunagogi yao, akasifiwa na wote.
15He taught in their synagogues and was glorified by everyone.
16Basi, Yesu alikwenda Nazareti, mahali alipolelewa, na siku ya Sabato, aliingia katika sunagogi, kama ilivyokuwa desturi yake. Akasimama ili asome Maandiko Matakatifu kwa sauti.
16Then Jesus came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. As was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath. And when He stood up to read,
17Akapokea kitabu cha nabii Isaya, akakifungua na akakuta mahali palipoandikwa:
17the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He 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,
18“The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed,
19na kutangaza mwaka wa neema ya Bwana.”
19to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
20Baada ya kusoma, akafunga kile kitabu, akampa mtumishi, kisha akaketi; watu wote wakamkodolea macho.
20Then He rolled up the scroll, returned it to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on Him,
21Naye akaanza kuwaambia, “Andiko hili mlilosikia likisomwa, limetimia leo.”
21and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
22Wote wakavutiwa sana naye, wakastaajabia maneno mazuri aliyosema. Wakanena, “Je, huyu si mwana wa Yosefu?”
22All spoke well of Him and marveled at the gracious words that came from His lips. “Isn’t this the son of Joseph?” they asked.
23Naye akawaambia, “Bila shaka mtaniambia msemo huu: Mganga jiponye mwenyewe, na pia mtasema: Yote tuliyosikia umeyafanya kule Kafarnaumu, yafanye hapa pia katika kijiji chako.”
23Jesus said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to Me: ‘Physician, heal yourself! Do here in Your hometown what we have heard that You did in Capernaum.’”
24Akaendelea kusema, “Hakika nawaambieni, nabii hatambuliwi katika kijiji chake.
24Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.
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 I tell you truthfully that there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and great famine swept over all the land.
26Hata hivyo, Eliya hakutumwa kwa mjane yeyote ila kwa mwanamke mjane wa Sarepta, Sidoni.
26Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.
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. Yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.”
28Wote waliokuwa katika lile sunagogi waliposikia hayo walikasirika sana.
28On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.
29Wakasimama, wakamtoa nje ya mji wao uliokuwa umejengwa juu ya kilima, wakampeleka mpaka kwenye ukingo wa kilima hicho ili wamtupe chini.
29They got up, drove Him out of the town, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw Him over the cliff.
30Lakini Yesu akapita katikati yao, akaenda zake.
30But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.
31Kisha Yesu akashuka mpaka Kafarnaumu katika mkoa wa Galilaya, akawa anawafundisha watu siku ya Sabato.
31Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.
32Wakastaajabia uwezo aliokuwa nao katika kufundisha.
32They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.
33Na katika lile sunagogi kulikuwa na mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na roho ya pepo mchafu; akapiga ukelele wa kuziba masikio:
33In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,
34“We! Yesu wa Nazareti! Kwa nini unatuingilia? Je, umekuja kutuangamiza? Ninakufahamu wewe ni nani. Wewe ni mjumbe Mtakatifu wa Mungu!”
34“Ha! 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!”
35Lakini Yesu akamkemea huyo pepo akisema: “Nyamaza! Mtoke mtu huyu!” Basi, huyo pepo baada ya kumwangusha yule mtu chini, akamtoka bila kumdhuru hata kidogo.
35But Jesus rebuked the demon. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!” At this, the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without harming him.
36Watu wote wakashangaa, wakawa wanaambiana, “Hili ni jambo la ajabu, maana kwa uwezo na nguvu anawaamuru pepo wachafu watoke, nao wanatoka!”
36All the people were overcome with amazement and asked one another, “What is this message? With authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”
37Habari zake zikaenea mahali pote katika mkoa ule.
37And the news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding region.
38Yesu alitoka katika lile sunagogi, akaenda nyumbani kwa Simoni. Mama mmoja, mkwewe Simoni, alikuwa na homa kali; wakamwomba amponye.
38After Jesus had left the synagogue, He went to the home of Simon, whose mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever. So they appealed to Jesus on her behalf,
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 she got up at once and began to serve them.
40Jua lilipokuwa linatua, wote waliokuwa na wagonjwa wao mbalimbali waliwaleta kwake; naye akaweka mikono yake juu ya kila mmoja wao, akawaponya wote.
40At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He 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.
41Demons also came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But He rebuked the demons and would not allow them to speak, because they knew 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.
42At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place, and the crowds were looking for Him. They came to Him and tried to keep Him from leaving.
43Lakini yeye akawaambia, “Ninapaswa kuhubiri Habari Njema za Ufalme wa Mungu katika miji mingine pia, maana nilitumwa kwa ajili hiyo.”
43But Jesus told them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well, because that is why I was sent.”
44Akawa anahubiri katika masunagogi ya Yudea.
44And He continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea.
