< Matiyu 4 >

1 Nikiyi Ibrji ka nji Yesu hi ni kpatren miyi ni ndu shetan tsrawu.
Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil,
2 U wa Yesu a vu nyu ivi ni cu ise zia u yon katiewu.
and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He hungered.
3 U wa ani tsar-a aye nda tre, uti ivren Rji uka hla tita biya ndu mba katie bredi.
And the tempting [one], having come to Him, said, “If You are the Son of God—speak that these stones may become loaves.”
4 U akasa niwu din Ba nha ana ni birli megyen mba ani ndu ndi son sisren na.
But He answering said, “It has been written: Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word coming forth from the mouth of God.”
5 U shetan nji wu hi ni mi Urushalima igbu u tsartsar-nda njiwu hon hi ni ngbondo tu tra u Baci.
Then the Devil takes Him to the [holy] city, and sets Him on the pinnacle of the temple,
6 A hla ni wu uta hi vren Rji uka grji joko kime: e ba nha di ani ton malaikuma ye wu ndu ba kon wu kpa ni wo mba ni ndu na k'bu za ni tita na.
and says to Him, “If You are the Son of God—cast Yourself down, for it has been written that, His messengers He will charge concerning you, and on hands they will bear you up, that you may not dash your foot on a stone.”
7 Yesu a saa' wu ba nha una tsra Baci Eji me to na.
Jesus said to him again, “It has been written: You will not tempt the LORD your God.”
8 Garli shetan a jinwu hon hi ni tu ngbondo ngblu ri nda tsro wu ikpi bi ngbugblu ba wawuu ni bii mba.
Again the Devil takes Him to a very high mountain, and shows to Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,
9 A hla wu ikpi biyi wawu mbawu mi nno mba ka uti kukru ndi gbyre me san.
and says to Him, “All these I will give to You, if falling down You may worship me.”
10 Niki Yesu saa' wu dinkon wa iwu shetan ba nha u gbyre Baci Rji me san wawu yi ni nklen ma u gbyre u san.
Then Jesus says to him, “Go—Satan, for it has been written: You will worship the LORD your God, and Him only will you serve.”
11 Nikiyi shetan ka hi kpama; malaiku baka ye zou.
Then the Devil leaves Him, and behold, messengers came and were ministering to Him.
12 Ba heme u Yesu awo din ba tro Yohana ni Galili,
And Jesus, having heard that John was delivered up, withdrew to Galilee,
13 A wlu ni Nazarat nda hini mi Kafanahum, u nyu kiekle nne'a ni mi koton Zabulu mba Naftalim:
and having left Nazareth, having come, He dwelt at Capernaum that is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 Din ndu tre anabi Ishaya ku toar, towa.
that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
15 Meme Zabulun mba meme Naftalim ni nkon kiekle nne vu y'ba hi ni kogran urdu mba Galili u indi wa bana Yahudawa naa.
“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations!
16 Indi bi wa ba zia ki ni' bwu'a Ba to' kickle kpan, u' bi wa ba zia son ni mi qu mba ni mi yumu'a Ikpan wlu ye mba wu.
The people that is sitting in darkness saw a great light, and to those sitting in a region and shadow of death—light arose to them.”
17 Rji ni nton kima Yesu a wlu zi wa tre Baci di ka me'me' cuwo: mulki shulu a tiewiere.
From that time Jesus began to proclaim and to say, “Convert, for the kingdom of the heavens has come near.”
18 Yesu si zren ni nyu kiekle nne Galili, a to ndi harli bari ba mrli vayi siman wa bata you ndi Bitru, u Andoro vayima bana bi vu lambe nda si sru rjiji u vu lambe ba.
And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon named Peter and his brother Andrew, casting a drag into the sea—for they were fishers—
19 A tre ni ba hume yi ume mi kayi tie bi vu ndi.
and He says to them, “Come after Me, and I will make you fishers of men,”
20 Nikime ba kaa rjirji u vu lambe ba don nda huu.
and they, immediately, having left the nets, followed Him.
21 A wlu niki sihi nda ka to indi harli wa ba mrli vayi, Yakubu ivren Zabadi mba Yohana vayi ma; nimi jirgi bi nha ni tie mba Zabadi ba ki mla rjirji u vu lambe mba tie nda yo ba.
And having advanced from there, He saw two other brothers, James of Zebedee, and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, refitting their nets, and He called them,
22 Ba ka jirgi'a don ni tie mba nda tie gbla hu.
and they, immediately, having left the boat and their father, followed Him.
23 Yesu a zren kagon Galili wawuu nda zi tsro ni tra Rji nda bla tre zizi u mulki nda den bi lilo wawuu ni san lilo wa ndi ba ba' lo'a.
And Jesus was going in all of Galilee teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people,
24 Iddu ma ka shanshu ni suriya wawuui baka rji bi lilo wawuu ye wu ndi bi wa ba lo'a ko bi lilo rimie, ni bi wa ba ku gbingbi ni bi wa ba he ni meme brji'a ni bi sran ni bi wa ba qu kpa-a waka den ba wawuu.
and His fame went forth to all Syria, and they brought to Him all the ill having manifold oppressing diseases and torments—and demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics—and He healed them.
25 Gbugbu ndi ba huu rji ni Galili ni Dakapolis ni Urushalima ni Yahudiya ni kogmn urdu.
And there followed Him many multitudes from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
