Matthew 4
1 Then Jesus was carried up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted of the devil:
Emesịa, Mmụọ Nsọ duuru Jisọs baa nʼọzara ka ekwensu nwaa ya ọnwụnwa.
2 and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he hungered.
Mgbe o busiri ọnụ iri ụbọchị anọ ehihie na abalị, agụụ gụrụ ya nke ukwuu.
3 And the tempter coming up to him said, If thou be Son of God, speak, that these stones may become loaves of bread.
Mgbe ahụ onye ọnwụnwa ahụ bịakwutere ya sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke, gwa nkume ndị a ka ha ghọọ achịcha.”
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.
Ma Jisọs zara, “E dere ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ sị, ‘Ọ bụghị naanị site na achịchaka mmadụ si adị ndụ, kama site nʼokwu niile si nʼọnụ Chineke pụta.’”
5 Then the devil takes him to the holy city, and sets him upon the edge of the temple,
Mgbe ahụ, ekwensu duuru ya baa nʼobodo nsọ ahụ, mee ka o guzo nʼebe dịkarịsịrị elu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu,
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.
sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke, site nʼebe a tụda onwe gị nʼala. Nʼihi na e dere ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ sị, “‘Ọ ga-enye ndị mmụọ ozi ya iwu banyere gị, ha ga-ebuli gị elu nʼaka ha ka ị ghara ịkpọbi ụkwụ gị na nkume.’”
7 Jesus said to him, It is again written, Thou shalt not tempt [the] Lord thy God.
Ma Jisọs zara sị ya, “E deela ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ sị, ‘Ị gaghị anwa Onyenwe gị na Chineke gị ọnwụnwa.’”
8 Again the devil takes him to a very high mountain, and shews him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory,
Ọzọkwa, ekwensu kpọọrọ ya gaa nʼelu ugwu dị elu, gosi ya alaeze niile nke ụwa na ebube ha.
9 and says to him, All these things will I give thee if, falling down, thou wilt do me homage.
Ọ sịrị ya, “Aga m enye gị ha niile ma ọ bụrụ na ị daa nʼala kpọọ isiala nye m.”
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.
Ma Jisọs sịrị ya, “Si nʼebe m nọ pụọ, ekwensu. Nʼihi na akwụkwọ nsọ kwuru sị, ‘Ọ bụ naanị Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ka ị ga-akpọ isiala nye, naanị ya ka ị ga-efekwa.’”
11 Then the devil leaves him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.
Mgbe ahụ ekwensu hapụrụ ya laa. Ndị mmụọ ozi bịakwutere ya, nọnyere ya, na-ejere ya ozi.
12 But having heard that John was delivered up, he departed into Galilee:
Mgbe Jisọs nụrụ na e tinyela Jọn nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, ọ pụrụ gaa 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,
Emesịa, ọ hapụrụ Nazaret gaa biri na Kapanọm, bụ obodo dị nʼakụkụ osimiri Galili. Ọ dị nso nʼoke ala Zebụlọn na Naftalị.
14 that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying,
Nʼụzọ dị otu a, amụma ahụ Aịzaya buru mezuru. Amụma nke sịrị,
15 Land of Zabulon and land of Nepthalim, way of [the] sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations:
“Ala Zebụlọn na ala Naftalị, nke dị nʼakụkụ osimiri, nʼofe Jọdan, Galili nke ndị mba ọzọ,
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.
ndị nọ nʼọchịchịrị ahụla ìhè dị ukwuu. Ndị bi nʼala onyinyo ọnwụ ka ìhè nwukwasịrị.”
17 From that time began Jesus to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.
Site nʼoge ahụ gaa nʼihu Jisọs bidoro na-ekwusa na-asị, “Chegharịanụ, nʼihi na alaeze eluigwe dị nso.”
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;
Ma mgbe Jisọs na-agafe nʼakụkụ osimiri Galili, ọ hụrụ ụmụnne abụọ, Saimọn onye a na-akpọ Pita, na Andru nwanne ya, ndị ọrụ ha bụ ịkụ azụ, ebe ha nọ nʼụgbọ mmiri na-akụ azụ.
19 and he says to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Ọ sịrị ha, “Bịanụ soro m. Aga m eme unu ndị ọkụ na-akụta mmadụ.”
20 And they, having left their trawl-nets, immediately followed him.
Ha hapụrụ ụgbụ azụ ha otu mgbe ahụ soro ya.
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;
Mgbe ọ gara nʼihu nke nta, ọ hụrụ ụmụnne abụọ ọzọ, Jemis nwa Zebedi na Jọn nwanne ya, ebe ha na nna ha Zebedi nọ nʼime ụgbọ mmiri na-ekezi ụgbụ azụ ha. Ọ kpọkwara ha,
22 and they, having left the ship and their father, immediately followed him.
ngwangwa ha hapụrụ ụgbọ ha na nna ha soro ya.
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.
Jisọs jegharịrị nʼobodo niile nke Galili, na-akụzi ihe nʼụlọ nzukọ niile ha, na-ekwusakwa oziọma nke alaeze ahụ. Ọ na-agwọkwa ọrịa na nrịa nrịa niile dị iche iche nʼetiti ndị ahụ.
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.
Akụkọ banyere ya gbasara jezuo akụkụ Siria niile. Mgbe ahụ ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ kpọtaara ya ndị niile ahụ na-esighị ike, ndị na-arịa ụdị ọrịa dị iche iche, ndị nwere ahụ mgbu, na ndị mmụọ ọjọọ na-esogbu, na ndị akwụkwụ, na ndị akụkụ ahụ ha kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ. Ọ gwọkwara ha niile.
25 And great crowds followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judaea, and beyond the Jordan.
Ọtụtụ mmadụ sitere na Galili, Dekapọlịs, Jerusalem, Judịa na nʼofe osimiri Jọdan, soro ya.
