< Matta 4 >

1 Bundan sonra İsa iblis tərəfindən sınağa çəkilmək üçün Ruh tərəfindən səhraya aparıldı.
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit {[God’s] Spirit led Jesus} into a desolate area to be tempted by the devil {in order that the devil would tempt him}.
2 İsa qırx gün-qırx gecə oruc tutandan sonra acdı.
After he did not eat food for 40 days, and 40 nights. he was hungry.
3 O zaman sınağaçəkən yaxınlaşıb Ona dedi: «Əgər Sən Allahın Oğlusansa, bu daşlara əmr et ki, çörəyə dönsün».
[Satan], the tempter, came to him and said, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father] [MET], [prove it] by commanding these stones to become bread [so that you can eat them]!”
4 İsa ona belə cavab verdi: «“İnsan yalnız çörəklə deyil, Allahın ağzından çıxan hər kəlmə ilə yaşayar” deyə yazılmışdır».
But Jesus said [to him], “[No! I will not change stones into bread, because] it is written [in the Scriptures] {in the Scriptures [Moses] wrote}, [‘Eating] food [SYN] [sustains] people [physically, but] it does not sustain them [spiritually] [SYN]. Instead, [paying attention to] everything that God has spoken [to them is what sustains people spiritually].’”
5 Sonra iblis Onu müqəddəs şəhərə gətirdi və məbədin qülləsinə qoyub
Then the devil took Jesus to [Jerusalem], the city that is dedicated to God. He set him on the highest part of the Temple,
6 dedi: «Əgər Sən Allahın Oğlusansa, Özünü aşağı at. Axı “Allah Sənə görə mələklərinə əmr edər ki, Səni əlləri üstündə aparsınlar, Ayağın bir daşa dəyməsin” deyə yazılmışdır».
and said to him, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father, prove it by] jumping down [to the ground. You will not be hurt], because it is written [in the Scriptures], [‘God] will command his angels to protect you. They will lift you up in their hands [when you are falling], in order that [you will not get hurt]. You will not [even] strike your foot on a stone.’”
7 İsa ona dedi: «“Allahın Rəbbi sınama” deyə də yazılmışdır».
But Jesus said, “[No! I] will not [jump down, because] in another place [in the Scriptures] it is written {there are these words that [Moses] wrote}: ‘Do not [try to] test the Lord your God [to see if he will prevent something bad from happening to you when you do something foolish!]’”
8 İblis yenə İsanı çox yüksək bir dağa çıxartdı. Ona dünyanın bütün padşahlıqlarını və şan-şöhrətini göstərib dedi:
Then the devil took him on [top of] a very high mountain. There he showed him all the nations in the world and the magnificent things in those nations.
9 «Əgər Sən yerə qapanıb mənə səcdə etsən, bütün bu şeyləri Sənə verəcəyəm».
And then he said to him, “I will [let you rule all these nations and] give you the magnificent things in them if you bow down and worship me.”
10 İsa dedi: «Rədd ol, Şeytan! “Allahın Rəbbə səcdə et və yalnız Ona ibadət et” deyə yazılmışdır».
But Jesus said to him, “[No, I will not worship you], Satan, [so] go away! It is written in the Scriptures, ‘It is the Lord your God whom you [(pl)] must worship, and you [(pl)] must serve only him!’”
11 Bundan sonra iblis İsanı tərk etdi və mələklər gəlib Ona xidmət edirdi.
Then the devil went away, and right away, angels came to Jesus and took care of him.
12 İsa Yəhyanın həbs olunduğunu eşitdikdə Qalileyaya qayıtdı.
[While] Jesus [was in Judea, John the Baptizer’s disciples] told him that John had been put in prison and kept there {that [Herod Antipas] had put John [the Baptizer] in prison [and kept him there]}. [So] Jesus returned to Galilee [District]. While he was in Galilee, he first went to Nazareth [town].
13 Nazaretdən çıxıb Zevulun və Naftali bölgəsində, Qalileya gölü kənarında yerləşən Kefernahumda məskən saldı.
Then he left Nazareth and went to Capernaum [city in order to live there. Capernaum is located beside Galilee Lake in the region which was formerly] the regions of [the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali.
14 Bu, Yeşaya peyğəmbər vasitəsilə söylənən həmin söz yerinə yetsin deyə baş verdi:
[One reason that he went there] was so that [these words] that were written by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled {so that he might fulfill these words that the prophet Isaiah wrote}:
15 «Zevulun və Naftali bölgələri, Dənizkənarı yol, İordan çayının o biri tayı, Müxtəlif millətlər yaşayan Qalileya –
“Zebulun region and Naphtali region [are on] the road [which is] near Galilee [Lake and] on the eastern side of the Jordan [River. They are] the regions in Galilee [District where many] non-Jews [are living].
16 Zülmətdə yaşayan xalq Möhtəşəm bir işıq gördü. Ölüm kölgəsi diyarında məskunlaşanların üzərinə Nur doğdu».
[Although the people there will be like] people who sit in a dark place [MET], [they will suddenly perceive clearly a new teaching, as] people who have seen a big light shining on them [MET] perceive everything clearly. [The] people who are located in a dangerous [MET] region [will suddenly perceive clearly what God teaches], as people on whom a light shines perceive things clearly [MET, DOU].
17 O vaxtdan İsa vəz edib belə deməyə başladı: «Tövbə edin! Çünki Səmavi Padşahlıq yaxınlaşıb».
From that time, [while] Jesus was [in Capernaum city, he began to preach this to people: “God [MTY/EUP] will very soon begin to rule, and he will judge you when he rules]. So you [(pl)] need to turn from your sinful ways [so that God will not punish you].”
18 İsa Qalileya gölünün sahilində gəzərkən suya tor atan iki qardaşı – Peter adlanan Şimonu və qardaşı Andreyi gördü. Bu adamlar balıqçı idi.
[One day] while Jesus was walking by Galilee Lake, he saw two men, Simon, who was [later] called Peter, and Andrew, his [younger] brother. They were casting their [fishing] net into the lake because they [earned money by] catching [and selling] fish.
19 İsa onlara dedi: «Ardımca gəlin, Mən sizi elə balıqçı edəcəyəm ki, insan tutacaqsınız».
He said to them, “[Just like you have been] gathering fish, come with me and I will teach you how to gather people [to become my disciples].” [MET]
20 Onlar dərhal torları kənara atıb Onun ardınca getdilər.
They immediately left [the work that they were doing with] their [fishing] nets, and they went with him.
21 İsa oradan irəli gedib başqa iki qardaşı – Zavday oğlu Yaqubu və qardaşı Yəhyanı gördü. Onlar ataları Zavdayla birlikdə qayıqda torlarını düzəldirdilər. İsa onları çağırdı.
As [the three of them] walked on from there, Jesus saw two other men, James, and John, the [younger] brother of James. [They were] in their boat with Zebedee, their father, mending their [fishing] nets. Jesus told them that [they should leave their work and] go with him.
22 Onlar da dərhal qayığı və atalarını qoyub Onun ardınca getdilər.
They immediately left their fishing boat and their father, and they went with Jesus.
23 İsa bütün Qalileyanı gəzir, onların sinaqoqlarında öyrədir, Səmavi Padşahlığın Müjdəsini vəz edir, xalq arasında hər cür xəstəliyə və hər cür naxoşluğa şəfa verirdi.
Jesus went [with those four men] throughout all of Galilee [District]. He was teaching [the people] in the buildings where we Jews worship God. He was preaching the good message that tells how to become members of the group of people whose lives God rules over. He was also healing all [the Galileans] who had diseases or who were sick.
24 Onun haqqındakı xəbər bütün Suriyaya yayıldı. Ona görə də İsanın yanına hər cür xəstəlik və iztirab çəkənləri, cinlərə tutulmuşları, epileptikləri və iflicləri gətirdilər. O da onlara şəfa verdi.
When people who lived in other parts of Syria [District] heard [PRS] what he was doing, they brought to him people who suffered from illnesses, people who suffered from many kinds of diseases, people who [suffered from] severe pains, people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled}, people who were epileptics, and people who were paralyzed. And Jesus healed them all.
25 Qalileyadan, Dekapolis bölgəsindən, Yerusəlimdən, Yəhudeyadan və İordan çayının o biri tayından böyük izdihamlar İsanın ardınca gedirdi.
Then crowds started to go with him. [They were people from] Galilee [District], (from the Decapolis/from the Ten Towns [area]), from Jerusalem [city], from other [parts of] Judea [district], and from areas east of the Jordan [River].
