< Matye 4 >

1 Apre sa, Lespri Bondye pouse Jezi ale nan dezè a pou Satan te ka tante l'.
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2 Jezi pase karant jou ak karant nwit san manje. Apre sa, li vin grangou.
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.
3 Lè sa a, Satan pwoche bò kote l' pou sonde l'. Li di l' konsa: Si ou se Pitit Bondye, bay wòch sa yo lòd pou yo tounen pen.
And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."
4 Jezi reponn li: Men sa ki ekri: Moun pa kapab viv ak manje ase. Yo bezwen tout pawòl ki soti nan bouch Bondye tou.
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 Apre sa, grandyab la mennen l' lavil Jerizalèm. Li mete l' kanpe sou pwent fetay tanp lan.
Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
6 Li di Jezi konsa: Si ou se Pitit Bondye, lage kò ou anba. Paske, men sa ki ekri: Bondye va bay zanj li yo lòd pou yo veye sou ou. y'a pote ou nan men yo, pou ou pa kase zòtèy pye ou sou okenn wòch.
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 Jezi reponn li: Men sa ki ekri tou: Ou pa dwe seye sonde Mèt la, Bondye ou.
Jesus said to him, "Again, it is written, 'Do not test the Lord your God.'"
8 Satan mennen Jezi ankò sou yon mòn ki byen wo. Li moutre l' tout peyi ki sou latè ansanm ak tout riches yo.
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory.
9 Li di l' konsa: M'ap ba ou tout bagay sa yo, si ou mete ou ajenou devan m' pou ou adore m'.
And he said to him, "I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me."
10 Jezi reponn li: Wete kò ou sou mwen, Satan. Paske, men sa ki ekri: Se Mèt la, Bondye ou, pou ou adore, se li menm sèl pou ou sèvi.
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 Fwa sa a, grandyab la kite l'. Latou, kèk zanj Bondye pwoche bò kote Jezi, yo sèvi l'.
Then the devil left him, and look, angels came and served him.
12 Lè Jezi tande yo te mete Jan Batis nan prizon, li wete kò l', li ale nan peyi Galile.
Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.
13 Li kite lavil Nazarèt, li ale rete nan yon vil yo rele Kapènawòm, ki te toupre lanmè Galile a, sou tè moun Zabilon ak moun Neftali yo.
And leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 Konsa, pawòl pwofèt Ezayi te di a rive vre:
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
15 Peyi Zabilon ak peyi Neftali ki sou wout pou ale bò lanmè a, peyi ki lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, peyi Galile kote moun lòt nasyon yo ap viv la,
"The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
16 pèp ki t'ap viv nan fènwa a wè yon gwo limyè. Limyè a klere pou moun ki t'ap viv nan peyi ki anba lonbraj lanmò a.
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 Depi lè sa a, Jezi kòmanse ap mache bay mesaj li a. Li t'ap di: Tounen vin jwenn Bondye. Paske, Bondye ki wa nan syèl la ap vin pran pouvwa a nan men li.
From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
18 Antan Jezi t'ap mache bò lanmè Galile a, li wè de frè: Simon, yo rele Pyè a, ak Andre, frè li. Yo t'ap voye privye nan lanmè a, paske se pechè pwason yo te ye.
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 Jezi di yo konsa: vin jwenn mwen, m'a fè nou tounen pechè moun pito.
And he said to them, "Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of people."
20 Lamenm, yo kite privye yo, y' ale avèk li.
And they immediately left their nets and followed him.
21 Jezi vanse pi lwen, li wè de lòt frè, Jak avèk Jan, pitit Zebede yo. Yo te chita nan kannòt yo ansanm ak papa yo, yo t'ap repare privye yo. Jezi rele yo.
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 Lamenm, yo kite kannòt la ansanm ak papa yo, y' ale avèk li.
And they immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
23 Jezi t'ap mache toupatou nan peyi Galile a. Li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay nan sinagòg yo. Li t'ap anonse Bon Nouvèl peyi kote Bondye wa a. Li t'ap geri tout kalite maladi ak tout kalite enfimite pèp la te ka genyen.
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 Toupatou nan peyi Siri a, se tout moun ki t'ap nonmen non li. Se sa ki fè yo te mennen tout kalite moun malad ba li, ansanm ak tout moun ki soufri doulè, moun ki te gen move lespri sou yo, moun ki soufri malkadi ak moun ki paralize. Jezi geri yo tout.
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 Yon bann moun t'ap swiv li. Yo te soti toupatou: te gen moun Galile, moun Dis Vil yo, moun lavil Jerizalèm, moun Jide ak moun nan peyi lòt bò larivyè Jouden an.
And large crowds from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.
