< Matthew 4 >

1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
Jesuh te rhaithae kah a noemcai hamla mueihla loh khosoek la a mawt.
2 When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.
Khothaih hnin sawmli, neh khoyin sawmli a yaeh bawt ah, a bungpong.
3 The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”
Te vaengah noemcai kung loh anih te a paan tih, “Pathen capala na om atah hekah lungto he voek lamtah buhla poeh saeh,” a ti nah.
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.’”
Tedae Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Hlang he vaidam bueng nen pawt tih, Pathen ka lamkah aka thoeng ol boeih nen mah hing saeh tila a daek coeng,” a ti nah.
5 Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
Te phoeiah anih te rhaithae loh khopuei cim la a khuen tih, bawkim kah tlungsoi ah a pai sak.
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 don’t dash your foot against a stone.’”
Te vaengah amah te, “Pathen capa la na om atah namah cungpung thuk lah, a daek coeng ta, a puencawn rhoek te nang ham a uen vetih, amih kut neh n'dom bitni, na kho khaw lungto neh na tongtah mahpawh,” a ti nah.
7 Jesus said to him, “Again, it is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God.’”
Jesuh loh, “Boeipa na Pathen te noemcai boeh tila a daek van,” a ti nah.
8 Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
Te phoeiah rhaithae loh tlang bahoeng a sang la a khuen tih, “Diklai ram boeih neh a thangpomnah te a tueng.
9 He said to him, “I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me.”
Rhaithae loh, “Na bakop tih kai nan bawk atah he rhoek he nang boeih kam paek ni,” a ti nah.
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.’”
Jesuh loh, “Satan cet, Boeipa na Pathen bueng mah bawk lamtah thothueng tila a daek coeng,” a ti nah.
11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.
Te daengah rhaithae loh a hlah. Te phoeiah puencawn rhoek loh pahoi a paan uh tih Jesuh te a khut uh.
12 Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.
Johan a voeih uh te a yaak vaengah Galilee la khoe uh.
13 Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
Nazareth te a hnoo tih, Zebulun neh Naphtali vaang khuikah Kapernaum tuikaeng la pawk tih kho a sak.
14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Te daengah ni tonghma Isaiah loh a thui te a soep eh.
15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
“Zebulun peng neh Naphtali peng, tuipuei kah longpuei, Jordan rhalvangan, namtom rhoek kah Galilee,
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.”
Yinnah khuikah ngol sut pilnam loh vangnah a len koek a hmuh tih, dueknah hlipkhup kho ah aka ngol rhoek soah vangnah ha thoeng coeng,” a ti.
17 From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
Te vaeng lamkah ni Jesuh loh, “Vaan ram te a yoei coeng dongah yut uh laeh,” tila hoe ham neh thui ham te a tong.
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.
Galilee tuipuei kaeng ah a pongpa vaengah, Simon la a khue Peter neh a manuca Andrew te boeina panit a hmuh. Tuihoi la om rhoi tih tuili ah lawk a voeih rhoi.
19 He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men.”
Te vaengah amih rhoi te, “Nangmih rhoi he kai hnukah hlang aka tu tuihoi la kan saii ni,” a ti nah.
20 They immediately left their nets and followed him.
Te dongah lawk te pahoi hnoo tih anih te a vai rhoi.
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.
Te lamloh a caeh vaengah a tloe kah boeina rhoi panit, Zebedee kah capa James neh a mana Johan tah lawng dongkah a napa Zebedee neh lawk a bo uh te a hmuh tih amih rhoi te khaw a khue.
22 They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
Te rhoi loh lawng neh a napa te pak a hlah rhoi tih bang rhoi.
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.
Jesuh loh Galilee kho tom ah cet tih, amih kah tunim ah a thuituen, ram kah olthangthen khaw a hoe, tlohtat boeih neh pilnam khuikah tlohnat boeih te a hoeih sak.
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.
Te vaengah a olthang te Syria tom la cet tih, tlohtat a soeprhaep neh tloh aka khueh boeih, nganboh aka yook, rhaithae aka kaem rhoek, rhaihum neh aka khawn rhoek te a taengla a khuen uh tih amih te a hoeih sak.
25 Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.
Te dongah Galilee, Decaplois, Jerusalem, Judea neh Jordan rhalvangan lamkah hlangping yetnu loh a vai uh.
