Matthai 4
1 Jesuh te rhaithae kah a noemcai hamla mueihla loh khosoek la a mawt.
Then Jesus was sent by the Spirit into the waste land to be tested by the Evil One.
2 Khothaih hnin sawmli, neh khoyin sawmli a yaeh bawt ah, a bungpong.
And after going without food for forty days and forty nights, he was in need of it.
3 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.
And the Evil One came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, give the word for these stones to become bread.
4 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.
But he made answer and said, It is in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need, but every word which comes out of the mouth of God.
5 Te phoeiah anih te rhaithae loh khopuei cim la a khuen tih, bawkim kah tlungsoi ah a pai sak.
Then the Evil One took him to the holy town; and he put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him,
6 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.
If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down; for it is in the Writings, He will give his angels care over you; and, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.
7 Jesuh loh, “Boeipa na Pathen te noemcai boeh tila a daek van,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to him, Again it is in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.
8 Te phoeiah rhaithae loh tlang bahoeng a sang la a khuen tih, “Diklai ram boeih neh a thangpomnah te a tueng.
Again, the Evil One took him up to a very high mountain, and let him see all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them;
9 Rhaithae loh, “Na bakop tih kai nan bawk atah he rhoek he nang boeih kam paek ni,” a ti nah.
And he said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will go down on your face and give me worship.
10 Jesuh loh, “Satan cet, Boeipa na Pathen bueng mah bawk lamtah thothueng tila a daek coeng,” a ti nah.
Then said Jesus to him, Away, Satan: for it is in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God and be his servant only.
11 Te daengah rhaithae loh a hlah. Te phoeiah puencawn rhoek loh pahoi a paan uh tih Jesuh te a khut uh.
Then the Evil One went away from him, and angels came and took care of him.
12 Johan a voeih uh te a yaak vaengah Galilee la khoe uh.
Now when it came to his ears that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee;
13 Nazareth te a hnoo tih, Zebulun neh Naphtali vaang khuikah Kapernaum tuikaeng la pawk tih kho a sak.
And going away from Nazareth, he came and made his living-place in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the country of Zebulun and Naphtali:
14 Te daengah ni tonghma Isaiah loh a thui te a soep eh.
So that the word of the prophet Isaiah might come true,
15 “Zebulun peng neh Naphtali peng, tuipuei kah longpuei, Jordan rhalvangan, namtom rhoek kah Galilee,
The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
16 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.
The people who were in the dark saw a great light, and to those in the land of the shade of death did the dawn come up.
17 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.
From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near.
18 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.
And when he was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, whose other name was Peter, and Andrew, his brother, who were putting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
19 Te vaengah amih rhoi te, “Nangmih rhoi he kai hnukah hlang aka tu tuihoi la kan saii ni,” a ti nah.
And he said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 Te dongah lawk te pahoi hnoo tih anih te a vai rhoi.
And straight away they let go the nets and went after him.
21 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.
And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in the boat with their father, stitching up their nets; and he said, Come.
22 Te rhoi loh lawng neh a napa te pak a hlah rhoi tih bang rhoi.
And they went straight from the boat and their father and came after him.
23 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.
And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and making well those who were ill with any disease among the people.
24 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.
And news of him went out through all Syria; and they took to him all who were ill with different diseases and pains, those having evil spirits and those who were off their heads, and those who had no power of moving. And he made them well.
25 Te dongah Galilee, Decaplois, Jerusalem, Judea neh Jordan rhalvangan lamkah hlangping yetnu loh a vai uh.
And there went after him great numbers from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from the other side of Jordan.
