Matthew 4
1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
UJesu wasekhokhelwa nguMoya wamusa enkangala ukuthi ayelingwa nguSathane.
2 When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.
Emva kokuzila ukudla okwensuku ezingamatshumi amane lobusuku obungamatshumi amane wayeselambile.
3 The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”
Umlingi weza kuye wathi, “Nxa uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu tshela amatshe la aphenduke abe yisinkwa.”
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.’”
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Kulotshiwe ukuthi: ‘Umuntu kayikuphila ngesinkwa kuphela kodwa ngelizwi lonke eliphuma emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu.’”
5 Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
USathane wasemthatha wamusa emzini ongcwele, wamisa engqongweni yethempeli.
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.’”
Wathi kuye, “Nxa uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, ziphosele phansi. Njengoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: ‘Uzalaya izingilosi zakhe ngawe, zikuqage ngezandla zazo, ukuze ungatshayeki ngonyawo lwakho elitsheni.’”
7 Jesus said to him, “Again, it is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God.’”
UJesu wamphendula wathi, “Kulotshiwe ukuthi, ‘Ungayilingi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho.’”
8 Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
Waphinda njalo uSathane wamusa entabeni ephakemeyo kakhulu, wamtshengisa yonke imibuso yomhlaba lokucwebezela kwayo.
9 He said to him, “I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me.”
Wathi, “Ngizakunika konke lokhu nxa ungangikhothamela, ungikhonze.”
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.’”
UJesu wathi kuye, “Suka kimi Sathane! Ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: ‘Khonza iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho njalo usebenzele yena yedwa.’”
11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.
USathane wasemtshiya, izingilosi zabuya zazomkhonza.
12 Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.
UJesu wathi esizwa ukuthi uJohane wayesevalelwe entolongweni, wabuyela eGalile.
13 Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
Wasuka eNazaretha wayahlala eKhaphenawume eyayisokhunjini lomfula emangweni wakoZebhuluni lakoNafithali,
14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
ukugcwalisa lokho okwatshiwo ngomphrofethi u-Isaya ukuthi:
15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
“Lizwe likaZebhuluni lelizwe likaNafithali, iNdlela eya oLwandle, phetsheya kweJodani, iGalile yabeZizweni,
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.”
abantu ababehlezi emnyameni sebebone ukukhanya okukhulu; kulabo abahlezi elizweni lethunzi lokufa, ukukhanya sekufikile.”
17 From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
Kusukela ngalesosikhathi uJesu waqalisa ukutshumayela esithi, “Phendukani ngoba umbuso wezulu ususondele.”
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.
Kwathi uJesu ehamba okhunjini loLwandle lwaseGalile wabona izelamani ezimbili, uSimoni owayethiwa nguPhethro lomfowabo u-Andreya. Babephosela umambule olwandle ngoba bengabagoli benhlanzi.
19 He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men.”
UJesu wathi, “Wozani lingilandele, ngizalenza abagoli babantu.”
20 They immediately left their nets and followed him.
Masinyane nje batshiya omambule babo bamlandela.
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.
Esuka lapho wabona ezinye izelamani ezimbili, uJakhobe indodana kaZebhediya lomfowabo uJohane. Babephakathi kwesikepe loyise uZebhediya, belungisa omambule babo. UJesu wababiza,
22 They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
baphanga batshiya isikepe kanye loyise bamlandela.
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.
UJesu wahamba kulolonke iGalile efundisa emasinagogweni abo, etshumayela izindaba ezinhle zombuso, esilisa zonke izifo lemikhuhlane ebantwini.
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.
Udumo lwakhe lwagcwala kulolonke elase-Asiriya, abantu baletha kuye bonke ababegula belezifo ezehlukeneyo, labo ababesebuhlungwini obukhulu, ababephethwe ngamadimoni, ababelezithuthwane lababeyizilima, bonke wabasilisa.
25 Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.
Amaxuku amakhulu ayevela eGalile, eDekhapholisi, eJerusalema, eJudiya lasemangweni ongaphetsheya kweJodani amlandela.
