Matthew 4
1 Then Jesus was carried up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted of the devil:
Mpawo Jesu wakazulwidwa a Muuya kuya munkanda kuti akasunkwe asimwaba.
2 and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he hungered.
Lino nakalyimya mazuba makumi aane amansiku ali makumi aane, wakaba enzala.
3 And the tempter coming up to him said, If thou be Son of God, speak, that these stones may become loaves of bread.
Sikusunka wakasika akwamba kuti kulinguwe, “kuti koli mwana wa Leza, layilila mabwe aya kuti abe chinkwa.”
4 But he answering said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word which goes out through God's mouth.
Pesi Jesu wakasandula akwamba kuti kulinguwe, “Kulilembedwe kuti Muntu takoyopona achinkwa luzutu, pes ajwi lyoonse lizwa kumulomo wa Leza.”
5 Then the devil takes him to the holy city, and sets him upon the edge of the temple,
Mpawo simwaba wakamutola kuchisi chisalala akumukkazika aatala ansonge yangánda ya Leza,
6 and says to him, If thou be Son of God cast thyself down; for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee, and on [their] hands shall they bear thee, lest in anywise thou strike thy foot against a stone.
akwamba kuti kulinguwe, “Na koli mwana a Leza, liwalile aansi, nkambo kulilembedwe kuti uyolayilila bangelobakwe kuti bakubambe; alimwi, bayokubaka mumaanza abo, kuti utakalyumpuni abbwe.”
7 Jesus said to him, It is again written, Thou shalt not tempt [the] Lord thy God.
Jesu wakabambila kuti, “Alubo kulilembedwe kuti, utasunki Mwami Leza wako.”
8 Again the devil takes him to a very high mountain, and shews him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory,
Alubo simwaba wakamutola kukalundu kalamfu akumutondezya Bwami boonse bwanyika abulemu bwayo bonse.
9 and says to him, All these things will I give thee if, falling down, thou wilt do me homage.
Wakamwambila kuti, “zyonse zintu eezi ndiyokupa, kuti wandivundamina akundikomba.”
10 Then says Jesus to him, Get thee away, Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt do homage to [the] Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.
Mpawo Jesu wakamwambila kuti, zwaawa, siluuni! Nkambo kulilembedwe kuti, uyokomba Mwami Leza wako, akukutawukila nguwe luzutu.”
11 Then the devil leaves him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.
Mpawo simwaba wakayinka, Amubone bangelo bakaza akumukutawukila.
12 But having heard that John was delivered up, he departed into Galilee:
Lino Jesu nakamvwa kuti Joni wakaabwa wakazwa waya ku Galili.
13 and having left Nazareth, he went and dwelt at Capernaum, which is on the sea-side in the borders of Zabulon and Nepthalim,
Wakazwa mu Nazaleta akwinka kuyokkala muKkapenawuma, ilikumbali lyalwizi lwa Galili mumasena a Zebbuluni a Nafutali.
14 that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying,
Eezi zyakachitika kuti kuzuzikizigwe zyakaambwa amusinsiimi Isaya kuti,
15 Land of Zabulon and land of Nepthalim, way of [the] sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations:
“Chisi cha Zebbuluni achisi cha Nafutali kaziya kulwizi, luli kunembo lya Jolodani, Galili wabamasi!
16 — the people sitting in darkness has seen a great light, and to those sitting in [the] country and shadow of death, to them has light sprung up.
Bantu bakalikkede mumudima babona mumuuni mupati, akulibaabo bakalikkede muchilikiti amumwenzule walufu, alimbabo kwanyamuka mumuuni.”
17 From that time began Jesus to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.
Kuzwa kulecho chindi Jesu wakatalika kukambawuka akuti, “Amusanduke, nkambo Bwami bwakujulu bwasika afwifwi.”
18 And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers;
Nakali kwenda ambali lyalwizi lwaGalili, wakabona bana bakwabo babili, Sayimoni utegwa Pita, a Endulo mukulana wakwe, bakali kuwala tuzamba mulwizi, nkambo bakali bazubi babaswi.
19 and he says to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “amuze, munditobele, alimwi ndiyomuchita kuba bazubi babantu.”
20 And they, having left their trawl-nets, immediately followed him.
Mpawawo bakasiya tuzamba bamutobela.
21 And going on thence he saw other two brothers, James the [son] of Zebedee and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their trawl-nets, and he called them;
Jesu nakali kuyabwenda kuzwa mpawawo wakabona bambi bana bakwabo babili, Jemusi mwana a Zebbedi, a Joni mukulanakwe. Bakali mubwato awisi Zebbedi kabali kusuma tuzamba twabo. Wakabayita,
22 and they, having left the ship and their father, immediately followed him.
Alimwi mpawawo bakasiya bwato awisi akumutobela.
23 And [Jesus] went round the whole [of] Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness among the people.
Jesu wakiinka mu Galili yoonse, kayobuyiisya muzikombelo, kakambawuka makani mabotu a Bwami akusilika misyobo yamalwazi amachise akali mubantu.
24 And his fame went out into the whole [of] Syria, and they brought to him all that were ill, suffering under various diseases and pains, and those possessed by demons, and lunatics, and paralytics; and he healed them.
Impuwo atala anguwe yakamwayika mu Siliya yoonse, alimwi bantu bakeeta boonse bakali kuchiswa misyobo-misyobo yamalwazi amachise, abaabo bakanjidwemyuuya mibi, basimasuntu, abayuminide mibili, Jesu wakabasilika.
25 And great crowds followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judaea, and beyond the Jordan.
Makamu makamu abantu akamutobela kuzwa kuGalili, Ba Dekkapolisi, Jelusalemu, aku Judiya, akuzwa kunembo lya Jolodani.
