< Matayo 4 >

1 Nipele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu jwanlongwesye Che Yesu mwikonde kuti alinjikwe ni Shetani.
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2 Paŵatemi pangalya moŵa alobaini muusi ni chilo, mbesi jakwe jakwete sala.
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.
3 Nipele Shetani ŵannyichilile, ni ŵansalile, “Iŵaga mmwe ndi Mwana jwa Akunnungu ngasalile aga maganga gagalauche gaŵe mikate.”
And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."
4 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ilembekwe mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu kuti, ‘Mundu ngakulama ni nkate pe, nambo kwa liloŵe lyalili lyose lyakuŵecheta Akunnungu.’”
But he answered and said, "It is written, 'Humankind cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'"
5 Nipele, Shetani ŵanjigele Che Yesu mpaka ku Yelusalemu pa musi wa Akunnungu, ŵammisile penani pa lusonga lwa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu,
Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
6 ŵaasalile, “Iŵaga mmwe ndi Mwana jwa Akunnungu, nliponye paasi pakuŵa ilembekwe, ‘Akunnungu chachatuma achikatumetume ŵao ŵa kwinani kwa ligongo lyenu, channyakule mmakono mwao, ntakuligomba lukongolo lwenu pa liganga.’”
and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 'He will put his angels in charge of you.' and, 'In their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'"
7 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ilembekwe sooni mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, ‘Nkaalinga Ambuje Akunnungu ŵenu.’”
Jesus said to him, "Again, it is written, 'Do not test the Lord your God.'"
8 Nipele Shetani ŵanjigele Che Yesu sooni ku chitumbi cheleu ni kwalosya mwenye syose sya chilambo ni ukulu wakwe.
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory.
9 Ŵansalile, “Ni yose yi chinampe ni kuŵa yenu iŵaga chimundindiŵalile ni kumbopelela.”
And he said to him, "I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me."
10 Pelepo, Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Shetani ngambe kwaula! Ilembekwe mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, ‘Chimwatindiŵalile Ambuje Akunnungu ŵenu ni kwapopelela ŵawowo pewo.’”
Then Jesus said to him, "Go away, Satan. For it is written, 'You are to worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'"
11 Nipele Shetani, ŵannesile Che Yesu, ni ŵaiche achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ni kwatumichila.
Then the devil left him, and look, angels came and served him.
12 Che Yesu paŵapilikene kuti che Yohana ataŵikwe mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ŵandu, ŵajawile ku Galilaya.
Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.
13 Ŵatyosile ku Nasaleti ni kwaula kutama ku Kapelenaumu musi wauli mbwani ja litanda lya Galilaya, mu chilambo cha Sabuloni ni Nafutali.
And leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 Yeleyo ni ilyatite pakuŵa isyene liloŵe lilyaŵechetekwe kwa litala lya che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
15 “Chilambo cha ku Sabuloni ni chilambo cha ku Nafutali, litala lyalikwaula ku bahali, peesi lusulo lwa Yolodani, ku Galilaya, chilambo cha ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi!
"The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
16 Ŵandu ŵakutama mu chipi chaliwone lilanguka lyalikulungwa. Nombe ŵandu ŵakutamanga pa chilambo cha chipi ni pa mmwilili wa chiwa, lilanguka chilyalanguchisye!”
The people sitting in darkness have seen a great light, and those living in the land and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned."
17 Kutandilila kele katema Che Yesu ŵatandite kulalichila achitiji, “Nneche sambi, pakuŵa Umwenye wa kwinani uŵandichile!”
From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
18 Che Yesu paŵajimajimaga mungulugulu litanda lya Galilaya, ŵaweni ŵanakajumo ŵaŵili ŵakukoka, che Simoni jwakuŵilanjikwa che Petulo ni che Andulea mpwakwe. Ŵaliji mu litanda aninkukoka somba kwa lwau pakuŵa ŵaliji ŵakukoka somba.
And 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.
19 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Munguye, none chinantende ŵanyamwe mme ŵakwaikanawo ŵandu kwa Ambuje.”
And he said to them, "Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of people."
20 Papopo ŵalesile nyau syao ni kwakuya.
And they immediately left their nets and followed him.
21 Paŵajawile mmbujo kanandi ŵaweni ŵanakajumo ŵane ŵaŵili che Yakobo ni che Yohana ŵanache ŵa che Sebedayo. Ŵanyawo ŵaliji mu ngalaŵa pampepe ni che Sebedayo atati ŵao aninkusaula nyau syao. Nipele Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile.
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, and he called them.
22 Papopo ŵajilesile ngalaŵa jila pamo ni atati ŵao, ni kwakuya.
And they immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
23 Che Yesu ŵajaulaga papalipose pala mu chilambo cha ku Galilaya, achijiganyaga mmajumba ga kupopelela ni kulalichila Ngani Jambone ja Umwenye wa Akunnungu. Ŵalamisye ŵandu ilwele yakupisyangana iŵaliji nayo.
And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
24 Ngani syakwe syajenele mbande syose sya ku Silia. Ŵakulwala wose ŵaŵaliji ni ilwele yakupisyangana ni aŵala ŵakulaga, ŵaŵakamwilwe ni masoka ni ŵaali ni njilinjili ni ŵandu ŵakulemala ŵajawisye kweleko nombewo ŵalamisye ŵana wose.
And the report about him went out into all Syria, and they brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptics, and paralytics; and he healed them.
25 Mipingo ja ŵandu achajinji kutyochela ku Galilaya ni ku Dekapoli yaani misi likumi ni ku Yelusalemu ni ku Yudea ni peesi lusulo lwa Yolodani ŵankuiye.
And large crowds from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.
