Luka 4
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Yesu alitoka katika mto Yordani akiwa amejaa Roho Mtakatifu, akaongozwa na Roho mpaka jangwani.
1And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the desert,
2Huko alijaribiwa na Ibilisi kwa muda wa siku arubaini. Wakati huo wote hakula chochote, na baada ya siku hizo akasikia njaa.
2For the space of forty days; and was tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days; and when they were ended, he was hungry.
3Ndipo Ibilisi akamwambia, “Kama wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, amuru jiwe hili liwe mkate.”
3And the devil said to him: If thou be the Son of God, say to this stone that it be made bread.
4Yesu akamjibu, “Imeandikwa: Mtu haishi kwa mkate tu.”
4And Jesus answered him: It is written, that Man liveth not by bread alone, but by every word of God.
5Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua hadi mahali pa juu, akamwonyesha kwa mara moja falme zote za ulimwengu. Huyo Shetani akamwambia,
5And the devil led him into a high mountain, and shewed 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 he said to him: To thee will I give all this power, and the glory of them; for to me they are delivered, and to whom I will, I give them.
7Hivi vyote vitakuwa mali yako wewe, kama ukiniabudu.”
7If thou therefore wilt adore before me, all shall be thine.
8Yesu akamjibu, “Imeandikwa: Utamwabudu Bwana Mungu wako, na utamtumikia yeye peke yake.”
8And Jesus answering said to him: It is written: Thou shalt adore 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 brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and he said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself from hence.
10kwa maana imeandikwa: Atawaamuru malaika wake wakulinde,
10For it is written, that He hath given his angels charge over thee, that they keep thee.
11na tena, Watakuchukua mikononi mwao usije ukajikwaa mguu wako kwenye jiwe.”
11And that in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12Lakini Yesu akamjibu, “Imeandikwa: Usimjaribu Bwana Mungu wako.”
12And Jesus answering, said to him: It is said: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13Ibilisi alipokwishamjaribu kwa kila njia, akamwacha kwa muda.
13And all the temptation being ended, the devil departed from him for a time.
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 the fame of him went out through the whole country.
15Naye akawa anawafundisha watu katika masunagogi yao, akasifiwa na wote.
15And he taught in their synagogues, and was magnified by 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 was brought up: and he went into the synagogue, according to his custom, on the sabbath day; and he rose up to read.
17Akapokea kitabu cha nabii Isaya, akakifungua na akakuta mahali palipoandikwa:
17And the book of Isaias the prophet was delivered unto him. And as he unfolded the book, 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,
18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. Wherefore he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the contrite of heart,
19na kutangaza mwaka wa neema ya Bwana.”
19To preach deliverance to the captives, and sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of reward.
20Baada ya kusoma, akafunga kile kitabu, akampa mtumishi, kisha akaketi; watu wote wakamkodolea macho.
20And when he had folded the book, he restored it to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.
21Naye akaanza kuwaambia, “Andiko hili mlilosikia likisomwa, limetimia leo.”
21And he began to say to them: This day is fulfilled this scripture in your ears.
22Wote wakavutiwa sana naye, wakastaajabia maneno mazuri aliyosema. Wakanena, “Je, huyu si mwana wa Yosefu?”
22And all gave testimony to him: and they wondered at the words of grace that proceeded from his mouth, and they said: Is not this the son of Joseph?
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 to them: Doubtless you will say to me this similitude: Physician, heal thyself: as great things as we have heard done in Capharnaum, do also here in thy own country.
24Akaendelea kusema, “Hakika nawaambieni, nabii hatambuliwi katika kijiji chake.
24And he said: Amen I say to you, that no prophet is accepted 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.
25In truth I say to you, there were many widows in the days of Elias in Israel, when heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there was a great famine throughout all the earth.
26Hata hivyo, Eliya hakutumwa kwa mjane yeyote ila kwa mwanamke mjane wa Sarepta, Sidoni.
26And to none of them was Elias sent, but to Sarepta of Sidon, to a widow woman.
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 Eliseus the prophet: and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian.
28Wote waliokuwa katika lile sunagogi waliposikia hayo walikasirika sana.
28And all they in the synagogue, hearing these things, were filled with anger.
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 thrust him out of the city; and they brought him to the brow of the hill, whereon their city was built, that they might cast 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 went down into Capharnaum, a city of Galilee, and there he taught them on the sabbath days.
32Wakastaajabia uwezo aliokuwa nao katika kufundisha.
32And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his speech was with power.
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 who had an unclean devil, 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!”
34Saying: Let us alone, what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? 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 go out of him. And when the devil had thrown him into the midst, he went out of him, and hurt him not at all.
36Watu wote wakashangaa, wakawa wanaambiana, “Hili ni jambo la ajabu, maana kwa uwezo na nguvu anawaamuru pepo wachafu watoke, nao wanatoka!”
36And there came fear upon all, and they talked among themselves, saying: What word is this, for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they go out?
37Habari zake zikaenea mahali pote katika mkoa ule.
37And the fame of him was published into every place of the country.
38Yesu alitoka katika lile sunagogi, akaenda nyumbani kwa Simoni. Mama mmoja, mkwewe Simoni, alikuwa na homa kali; wakamwomba amponye.
38And Jesus rising up out of the synagogue, went into Simon’s house. And Simon’s wife’s mother was taken 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 standing over her, he commanded the fever, and it left her. And immediately rising, she ministered to 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 down, all they that had any sick with divers diseases, brought them to him. But he laying his hands on every one of them, 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 devils went out from many, crying out and saying: Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them he suffered them not to speak, for they knew that he was 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, going out he went into a desert place, and the multitudes sought him, and came unto him: and they stayed him that he should not depart from them.
43Lakini yeye akawaambia, “Ninapaswa kuhubiri Habari Njema za Ufalme wa Mungu katika miji mingine pia, maana nilitumwa kwa ajili hiyo.”
43To whom he said: To other cities also I must preach the kingdom of God: for therefore am I sent.
44Akawa anahubiri katika masunagogi ya Yudea.
44And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
