MT. 4
Majaribu ya Yesu
1 t tKisha Yesu alipandishwa na Roho nyikani, ili ajaribiwe na Ibilisi. 2 tAkafunga siku arobaini mchana na usiku, mwisho akaona njaa. 3 tMjaribu akamjia akamwambia, Ukiwa ndiwe Mwana wa Mungu, amuru kwamba mawe haya yawe mikate. 4 tNaye akajibu akasema, Imeandikwa, Mtu hataishi kwa mkate tu, ila kwa kila neno litokalo katika kinywa cha Mungu. 5 tKisha Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka mji mtakatifu, akamweka juu ya kinara cha hekalu,
6 takamwambia, Ukiwa ndiwe Mwana wa Mungu jitupe chini; kwa maana imeandikwa,
Atakuagizia malaika zake;
Na mikononi mwao watakuchukua;
Usije ukajikwaa mguu wako katika jiwe.
7 tYesu akamwambia, Tena imeandikwa, Usimjaribu Bwana Mungu wako. 8 Kisha Ibilisi akamchukua mpaka mlima mrefu mno, akamwonyesha milki zote za ulimwengu, na fahari yake, 9 akamwambia, Haya yote nitakupa, ukianguka kunisujudia. 10 tNdipo Yesu alipomwambia, Nenda zako, Shetani; kwa maana imeandikwa, Msujudie Bwana Mungu wako, umwabudu yeye peke yake.
11 tKisha Ibilisi akamwacha; na tazama, wakaja malaika wakamtumikia.Yesu Aanza Huduma yake katika Galilaya
12 t tBasi Yesu aliposikia ya kwamba Yohana amefungwa, alikwenda zake mpaka Galilaya; 13 takatoka Nazareti, akaja akakaa Kapernaumu, mji ulioko pwani, mipakani mwa Zabuloni na Naftali;
14 tili litimie neno lililonenwa na nabii Isaya, akisema,
15 tNchi ya Zabuloni na nchi ya Naftali,
Njia ya bahari, ng’ambo ya Yordani,
Galilaya ya mataifa,
16 Watu wale waliokaa katika giza
Wameona mwanga mkuu,
Nao waliokaa katika nchi na uvuli wa mauti
Mwanga umewazukia.
17 tTokea wakati huo Yesu alianza kuhubiri, na kusema, Tubuni; kwa maana ufalme wa mbinguni umekaribia.Yesu Awaita Wanafunzi wa Kwanza
18 tNaye alipokuwa akitembea kando ya bahari ya Galilaya, aliona ndugu wawili, Simoni aitwaye Petro, na Andrea nduguye, wakitupa jarife baharini; kwa maana walikuwa wavuvi. t 19 tAkawaambia, Nifuateni, nami nitawafanya kuwa wavuvi wa watu. 20 tMara wakaziacha nyavu zao, wakamfuata. 21 Akaendelea mbele, akaona ndugu wengine wawili, Yakobo wa Zebedayo, na Yohana nduguye, ambao walikuwamo chomboni pamoja na Zebedayo baba yao, wakizitengeneza nyavu zao; akawaita.
22 Mara wakakiacha chombo na baba yao, wakamfuata.Yesu Awahudumia Makundi ya Watu
23 tNaye alikuwa akizunguka katika Galilaya yote, akifundisha katika masinagogi yao, na kuihubiri Habari Njema ya ufalme, na kuponya ugonjwa na udhaifu wa kila namna katika watu. 24 tNa habari zake zikaenea katika Shamu yote; wakamletea wote waliokuwa hawawezi, walioshikwa na maradhi mbalimbali na mateso, wenye pepo, na wenye kifafa, na wenye kupooza; akawaponya. 25 tNa makutano mengi wakamfuata, kutoka Galilaya, na Dekapoli, na Yerusalemu, na Uyahudi, na ng’ambo ya Yordani
MATTHEW 4
Jesus and the Devil
(Mark 1.12,13; Luke 4.1-13)
1 t The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert, so that the devil could test him. 2 After Jesus had gone without eatingt for 40 days and nights, he was very hungry.
3 Then the devil came to him and said, “If you are God's Son, tell these stones to turn into bread.”
4 t Jesus answered, “The Scriptures say:
‘No one can live only on food.
People need every word
that God has spoken.’ ”
5 Next, the devil took Jesus into the holy city to the highest part of the temple.
6 t The devil said, “If you are God's Son, jump off. The Scriptures say:
‘God will give his angels
orders about you.
They will catch you
in their arms,
and you won't hurt
your feet on the stones.’ ”
7 t Jesus answered, “The Scriptures also say, ‘Don't try to test the Lord your God!’ ”
8 Finally, the devil took Jesus up on a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms on earth and their power.
9 The devil said to him, “I will give all this to you, if you will bow down and worship me.”
10 t Jesus answered, “Go away Satan! The Scriptures say:
‘Worship the Lord your God
and serve only him.’ ”
11 Then the devil left Jesus, and angels came to help him.Jesus Begins His Work
(Mark 1.14,15; Luke 4.14,15)
12 t When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he went to Galilee. 13 t But instead of staying in Nazareth, Jesus moved to Capernaum. This town was beside Lake Galilee in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali.t
14 So God's promise came true, just as the prophet Isaiah had said,
15 t “Listen, lands of Zebulun
and Naphtali,
lands along the road
to the sea
and across the Jordan.
Listen Galilee,
land of the Gentiles!
16 Although your people
live in darkness,
they will see
a bright light.
Although they live
in the shadow of death,
a light will shine
on them.”
17 t Then Jesus started preaching, “Turn back to God! The kingdom of heaven will soon be here.”tJesus Chooses //Four Fishermen
(Mark 1.16-20; Luke 5.1-11)
18 While Jesus was walking along the shore of Lake Galilee, he saw two brothers. One was Simon, also known as Peter, and the other was Andrew. They were fishermen, and they were casting their net into the lake. 19 Jesus said to them, “Follow me! I will teach you how to bring in people instead of fish.”
20 Right then the two brothers dropped their nets and went with him.
21 Jesus walked on until he saw James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat with their father, mending their nets. Jesus asked them to come with him.
22 At once they left the boat and their father and went with Jesus.Jesus Teaches, Preaches, //and Heals
(Luke 6.17-19)
23 t Jesus went all over Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news about God's kingdom. He also healed every kind of disease and sickness.
24 News about him spread all over Syria, and people with every kind of sickness or disease were brought to him. Some of them had a lot of demons in them, others were thought to be crazy, t and still others could not walk. But Jesus healed them all.
25 Large crowds followed Jesus from Galilee and the region around the ten cities known as Decapolis.t They also came from Jerusalem, Judea, and from across the Jordan River.
