< Matthew 4 >

1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
Emesịa, Mmụọ Nsọ duuru Jisọs baa nʼọzara ka ekwensu nwaa ya ọnwụnwa.
2 When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.
Mgbe o busiri ọnụ iri ụbọchị anọ ehihie na abalị, agụụ gụrụ ya nke ukwuu.
3 The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”
Mgbe ahụ onye ọnwụnwa ahụ bịakwutere ya sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke, gwa nkume ndị a ka ha ghọọ achịcha.”
4 But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth.’”
Ma Jisọs zara, “E dere ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ sị, ‘Ọ bụghị naanị site na achịchaka mmadụ si adị ndụ, kama site nʼokwu niile si nʼọnụ Chineke pụta.’”
5 Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
Mgbe ahụ, ekwensu duuru ya baa nʼobodo nsọ ahụ, mee ka o guzo nʼebe dịkarịsịrị elu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu,
6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you do not dash your foot against a stone.’”
sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke, site nʼebe a tụda onwe gị nʼala. Nʼihi na e dere ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ sị, “‘Ọ ga-enye ndị mmụọ ozi ya iwu banyere gị, ha ga-ebuli gị elu nʼaka ha ka ị ghara ịkpọbi ụkwụ gị na nkume.’”
7 Jesus said to him, “Again, it is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God.’”
Ma Jisọs zara sị ya, “E deela ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ sị, ‘Ị gaghị anwa Onyenwe gị na Chineke gị ọnwụnwa.’”
8 Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
Ọzọkwa, ekwensu kpọọrọ ya gaa nʼelu ugwu dị elu, gosi ya alaeze niile nke ụwa na ebube ha.
9 He said to him, “I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me.”
Ọ sịrị ya, “Aga m enye gị ha niile ma ọ bụrụ na ị daa nʼala kpọọ isiala nye m.”
10 Then Jesus said to him, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’”
Ma Jisọs sịrị ya, “Si nʼebe m nọ pụọ, ekwensu. Nʼihi na akwụkwọ nsọ kwuru sị, ‘Ọ bụ naanị Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ka ị ga-akpọ isiala nye, naanị ya ka ị ga-efekwa.’”
11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.
Mgbe ahụ ekwensu hapụrụ ya laa. Ndị mmụọ ozi bịakwutere ya, nọnyere ya, na-ejere ya ozi.
12 Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.
Mgbe Jisọs nụrụ na e tinyela Jọn nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, ọ pụrụ gaa Galili.
13 Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
Emesịa, ọ hapụrụ Nazaret gaa biri na Kapanọm, bụ obodo dị nʼakụkụ osimiri Galili. Ọ dị nso nʼoke ala Zebụlọn na Naftalị.
14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Nʼụzọ dị otu a, amụma ahụ Aịzaya buru mezuru. Amụma nke sịrị,
15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
“Ala Zebụlọn na ala Naftalị, nke dị nʼakụkụ osimiri, nʼofe Jọdan, Galili nke ndị mba ọzọ,
16 the people who sat in darkness saw a great light; to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, to them light has dawned.”
ndị nọ nʼọchịchịrị ahụla ìhè dị ukwuu. Ndị bi nʼala onyinyo ọnwụ ka ìhè nwukwasịrị.”
17 From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
Site nʼoge ahụ gaa nʼihu Jisọs bidoro na-ekwusa na-asị, “Chegharịanụ, nʼihi na alaeze eluigwe dị nso.”
18 Walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
Ma mgbe Jisọs na-agafe nʼakụkụ osimiri Galili, ọ hụrụ ụmụnne abụọ, Saimọn onye a na-akpọ Pita, na Andru nwanne ya, ndị ọrụ ha bụ ịkụ azụ, ebe ha nọ nʼụgbọ mmiri na-akụ azụ.
19 He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men.”
Ọ sịrị ha, “Bịanụ soro m. Aga m eme unu ndị ọkụ na-akụta mmadụ.”
20 They immediately left their nets and followed him.
Ha hapụrụ ụgbụ azụ ha otu mgbe ahụ soro ya.
21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them.
Mgbe ọ gara nʼihu nke nta, ọ hụrụ ụmụnne abụọ ọzọ, Jemis nwa Zebedi na Jọn nwanne ya, ebe ha na nna ha Zebedi nọ nʼime ụgbọ mmiri na-ekezi ụgbụ azụ ha. Ọ kpọkwara ha,
22 They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
ngwangwa ha hapụrụ ụgbọ ha na nna ha soro ya.
23 Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
Jisọs jegharịrị nʼobodo niile nke Galili, na-akụzi ihe nʼụlọ nzukọ niile ha, na-ekwusakwa oziọma nke alaeze ahụ. Ọ na-agwọkwa ọrịa na nrịa nrịa niile dị iche iche nʼetiti ndị ahụ.
24 The report about him went out into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics; and he healed them.
Akụkọ banyere ya gbasara jezuo akụkụ Siria niile. Mgbe ahụ ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ kpọtaara ya ndị niile ahụ na-esighị ike, ndị na-arịa ụdị ọrịa dị iche iche, ndị nwere ahụ mgbu, na ndị mmụọ ọjọọ na-esogbu, na ndị akwụkwụ, na ndị akụkụ ahụ ha kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ. Ọ gwọkwara ha niile.
25 Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.
Ọtụtụ mmadụ sitere na Galili, Dekapọlịs, Jerusalem, Judịa na nʼofe osimiri Jọdan, soro ya.
