Matthew 4
1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
Khona uJesu wakhokhelelwa nguMoya enkangala, ukuze alingwe ngudiyabhola.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward hungered.
Esezile ukudla insuku ezingamatshumi amane lobusuku obungamatshumi amane, ekucineni walamba.
3 And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.
Kwasekusiza kuye umlingi wathi: Uba uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, tshono ukuthi lamatshe abe yizinkwa.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Kodwa yena waphendula wathi: Kulotshiwe ukuthi: Umuntu kayikuphila ngesinkwa sodwa, kodwa ngalo lonke ilizwi eliphuma emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu.
5 Then the devil taketh him into the holy city; and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
Udiyabhola wasemthatha wamusa emzini ongcwele, wasemmisa engqongeni yethempeli,
6 and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: And on their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.
wasesithi kuye: Uba uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, ziwisele phansi; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Uzalaya ingilosi zakhe ngawe, besezikuphatha ngezandla, hlezi loba nini ukhube unyawo lwakho elitsheni.
7 Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
UJesu wathi kuye: Kulotshiwe futhi ukuthi: Ungayilingi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho.
8 Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Udiyabhola wabuya wamusa entabeni ende kakhulu, wamtshengisa imibuso yonke yomhlaba lokukhazimula kwayo,
9 and he said unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
wathi kuye: Zonke lezizinto ngizakunika zona, uba uwela phansi ungikhonza.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
UJesu wasesithi kuye: Suka, Sathane! Ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Uzakhothamela eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho, njalo uzakhonza yona yodwa.
11 Then the devil leaveth him; and behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Udiyabhola wasemyekela; njalo khangela, kwafika ingilosi zasezimsebenzela.
12 Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee;
Kwathi uJesu esezwile ukuthi uJohane unikelwe entolongweni, wasuka waya eGalili;
13 and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali:
wasesuka eNazaretha, weza wahlala eKapenawume engaselwandle, emingceleni yakoZebuloni leyakoNafithali;
14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngumprofethi uIsaya, ukuthi:
15 The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, Toward the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
Ilizwe lakoZebuloni lelizwe lakoNafithali, endleleni yaselwandle, ngaphetsheya kweJordani, iGalili labezizwe,
16 The people which sat in darkness Saw a great light, And to them which sat in the region and shadow of death, To them did light spring up.
abantu ababehlezi emnyameni babonile ukukhanya okukhulu, lababehlezi elizweni lethunzini lokufa ukukhanya kuphumele kubo.
17 From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Kusukela kulesosikhathi uJesu waqala ukutshumayela lokuthi: Phendukani; ngoba umbuso wamazulu ususondele.
18 And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers.
Kwathi uJesu ehambahamba elwandle lweGalili wabona izelamani ezimbili, uSimoni othiwa nguPetro, loAndreya umfowabo, bephosela imbule olwandle; ngoba babengabagoli benhlanzi.
19 And he saith unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Wasesithi kubo: Ngilandelani, njalo ngizalenza libe ngabagoli babantu.
20 And they straightway left the nets, and followed him.
Bahle-ke batshiya amambule bamlandela.
21 And going on from thence he saw other two brethren, James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
Eseqhubeke esuka lapho, wabona ezinye izelamani ezimbili, uJakobe okaZebediya loJohane umfowabo, besemkhunjini kanye loZebediya uyise, belungisa amambule abo; wasebabiza.
22 And they straightway left the boat and their father, and followed him.
Njalo bahle batshiya umkhumbi loyise bamlandela.
23 And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the people.
UJesu wasebhoda iGalili yonke, efundisa emasinagogeni abo, etshumayela ivangeli lombuso, eselapha sonke isifo lobuthakathaka bonke ebantwini.
24 And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought unto him all that were sick, holden with divers diseases and torments, possessed with devils, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them.
Indumela yakhe yasiphumela kuyo yonke iSiriya; basebeletha kuye bonke abagulayo, ababephethwe yizifo ngezifo lobuhlungu, lababengenwe ngamadimoni, lababelezithuthwane, lababewome umhlubulo; wasebasilisa.
25 And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and [from] beyond Jordan.
Amaxuku amakhulu asemlandela evela eGalili leDikapolisi leJerusalema leJudiya langaphetsheya kweJordani.
