< Mathayo 4 >

1 Boka po Yesu ngapelekelwa ni Roho mpaka kupongoti lenga ajaribiwe ni nchela.
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2 Atabike masoba arobaini mutwekati ni kilo ngaibona njala.
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.
3 Nchela atimwichilya ni kunkokiya, “Mana itei wenga wa mwana wa Nnongo, ugabakiye maliwe aga gapangite nkate.”
And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."
4 Lakini Yesu kan'yangwa ni kunkokiya, “Itiandikwa,'Mundu kana atama kwa nkate kichake, ila kwa kila likowe lyapita munkano wa Nnongo.'”
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 Boka po nchela ampelekile kunnema mtakatifu ni kunbeka kunani muno ya kuliyengo lya hekalu,
Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
6 ni kunkoya, “Mana itei wenga wa mwana wa Nnongo, witomboye pae, maana itiandikwa,'Alowa kwalazimisha malaika bake pake pakupoke,' ni 'kuku kakatuya kwa maboko gabe, linga wakana kobala lungolo lwake muliwe.”
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 Yesu kaakoya, “Kae iandikilwe, kana un'geye Ngwana Nnongo bako.”
Jesus said to him, "Again, it is written, 'Do not test the Lord your God.'"
8 Boka po nchela ngamputwike yendya mahali pa kunani muno ngamnaya utawala wote wa dunia ni ikowe yake yoti.
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory.
9 Kakoya, “Nalowa kukupeya ilebe yoti yino mana unisujudu ni kuniabudu.”
And he said to him, "I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me."
10 Boka po Yesu kankoya, “boka uyende wa nchela! Mana iandikilwe,'Ipalikwa kumwabudu Ngwana Nnongo bako, ni umtumikie yembe kichake.'”
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 Nchela anlekite, nga linga, malaika ngaisa kunyangatia.
Then the devil left him, and look, angels came and served him.
12 Yesu nga yowine panga Yohana ateboyolwa, atiboka mpaka Galilaya.
Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.
13 Abokite Nazareti yenda ni kutama Karperanaumu, yaibile papipi ni bahari ya Galilaya, mpakani mwa lijimbo lya Zabuloni ni Naftali.
And leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 Ayee yapiti lenga litimii chelo chalongei nabii Isaya,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
15 Ku nnema wa Zabuloni ni nnema wa Naftali yendelya kubari, kwiye ya Yordani, Galilaya ya bamataifa!
"The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
16 Bandu babatami mulubendo baubweni mbwega wananchima, ni balo batami pamwili wa kiwo, kunani ya mbwega yatikuwaangazia.”
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 Kuoma muda woo Yesu atumbwi hubiri kakoya, “mutubu, mana utawala wa kunani ulegelile.”
From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
18 Abile atyanga mbwega ya bahari ya Galilaya, amweni apendo abele, Simoni ywa kemela Petro, ni Andrea kaka bake, kabatengwa mbelete yabe mubahari, mana babile avuvi ba omba.
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 Yesu kaakoya, “Muiche munikengame, nilowa kuwapeya uvuvi wa bandu.”
And he said to them, "Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of people."
20 Nga bailekite belele yabe ni kumkengama.
And they immediately left their nets and followed him.
21 Yesu abile kayendelya kuoma abweni apendo benge, Yakobo mwana wa Zebedayo, ni Yohana kaka bake babile mungalaba pamope ni tate babe Zebedayo kaba sokota mbelele yabe, Nga akema,
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 ni mara jimo baileka ngalaba ni tate babe ni bembe kabankengama.
And they immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
23 Yesu ayei karibia Galilaya yoti, kapundisha mumasinagogi gabe kahubiri Injili ya utawala, ni kuponya kila matamwe ga bandu.
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 Habari yake yayowanike Siria yoti, ni bandu kabaleta balo boti atamwe, bababile ni malazi goti ni minya, bababile ni moka, ni bene kiundaundani bababile lemile. Yesu kabaponiya.
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 kipenga sa bandu bati kunkengama kuoma Galilaya ni Dekapoli, ni Yerusalemu ni Uyahudi ni kuoma ng'ambo ya Yordani.
And large crowds from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.
