Mahte 4
1 Acunüng Jesuh cun Khawyai naw a hlawhlep vaia Ngmüimkhya naw khawmkyang khawa a cehpüi.
THEN was Jesus led away by the spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil.
2 Jesuh cun khawmhnüp kphyükip la mthan kphyükip ei jeih se, a ei cawi lawki.
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he became hungry.
3 Acunüng Khawyai cun a veia law lü, “Nang Pamhnama caa na kya kcang üng, hina lung he hin muka thawn law khai hea jah mtheha” a ti.
And the tempter coming to him said, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones be made loaves.
4 Jesuh naw “Khyang cun muk am xüngki am ni, cunüngpi Pamhnama ngthukhyü am va xüngki tia cangcim üng awmki” ti lü a pyen.
But he answering said, It is written, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”
5 Acunkäna Khawyai naw Jesuh cun Jerusalem Mlüh Ngcim, a hlüngnak säih Temple khana cehpüi lü,
Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and placed him on a wing of the temple,
6 “Nang Pamhnama capa kcang na ni üng, ahin üngka naw kco lü ‘Pamhnam naw a khankhawngsä he jah mtheh khai ni; acun he naw ami kut am ning na man khaie ni, acunüng na khaw naw lung he am jah hne yah khai ni’” ti lü cangcim üng awmki ni a ti.
and saith to him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, “that he shall give his angels a charge concerning thee: and in their hands shall they hold thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.”
7 Jesuh naw, “Na Bawipa Pamhnam ä na hlawhlep vai ti lü pi cangcim üng ng'yuki ni” a ti.
Jesus said unto him, It is written again, “Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.”
8 Acunkäna Khawyai naw Jesuh cun khawmcung k'hlüngnua khana cehpüi lü khawmdeka bawinak ja a hlüngtainak he cun a mhnüh.
Again the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory;
9 Khawyai naw, “Ngdäng lü na na sawkkhah üng ahin he avan ka ning pe khai,” a ti.
and saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall prostrate and worship me.
10 Jesuh naw, “Satan akcea cita, na Pamhnam däk va sawkhah lü, ani däka khut va na pawh vai ti lü cangcim üng awmki” a ti.
Then saith Jesus unto him, Avaunt Satan! for it is written, “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and to him only thou pay divine adoration.”
11 Acunkäna Khawyai naw ceh ta se, khankhawngsä he law u lü Jesuh cun kuei lawki he.
Then the devil leaveth him, and lo! angels came and ministered unto him.
12 Johan thawngim üng ami khyum a ngjak üng Jesuh cun Kalilea citki.
But when Jesus heard that John was cast into prison, he retired into Galilee;
13 Nazaret khaw ceh ta lü Zebulung ja Naptalih hne, Kalile tuilinu pei Kapenawm mlüha awmki.
and leaving Nazareth, he came and resided at Capernaum, a maritime city, on the confines of Zebulun and Nephthali:
14 Acun cun sahma Hesajah naw a na pyen a kümceinak vaia kyaki.
that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, saying,
15 “Mliktui da lamki lam läka awmki; Zebulung khaw la Naptalih khaw, Jordan mliktui yea, khyang mjükce hea venak Kalile,
“The land of Zabulun, and the land of Naphthali, the road to the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
16 nghmüp k'uma awmki hea khyang he naw akvai hmu khaie. Thihnak khaw nghmüp k'uma awmki hea khana akvai pha law khai ni” ti lü a pyen.
the people who sat in darkness saw a great light; and on those who sat in the region and shadow of death, even on them hath the light arisen.”
17 Acun üngkhyüh tün lü Jesuh naw, “Ngjut ua, Khankhaw Pe ng'et law ve” ti lü ngthu pyenki.
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is approaching.
18 Jesuh Kalile tuili kama a ceh üng ngbengna xawi Sihmon (Pita ami ti) ja a na Andru ngaksui xawi, ng'üntui üng ngvai ani vawi k'um üng jah hmu lü,
And as Jesus was 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 Jesuh naw, “Na läk law nia, nga nani suia mäiha kei naw khyang ksui ning ka ning jah mthei khai ni” a ti.
And he saith to them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 Acunüng ani ngvai jah hawih hüt ni lü Jesuh läki xawi.
Then immediately quitting their nets they followed him.
21 Acunkäna va cit betü lü ngbengna xawi Jakuk ja Johan, Zebedea ca xawi, ani pa mah am mlawng üng ani ngvai jah pyanei ni se jah hmu lü a jah khü.
And going on from thence, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
22 Acunüng akjanga ani mlawng ja ani pa jah hawih hüt ni lü Jesuh läki xawi.
Then they instantly quitting the ship and their father, followed him.
23 Jesuh cun Kalile pei avan üng cit hü lü, Sinakok k'uma jah mthei lü, Pamhnama Khawa thangkdaw jah mtheh lü am phetkiea natnak hlikhaü mjüküm üng khuikhaki he jah mdaw beki.
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every malady among the people.
24 Jesuh cun Siria hne abäng üng ngthang hü se, khyang kkun he, hlikhaü mjüküm naw a jah hui he, khawyaia a jah awmnak he, mcimpawm nawt lü ngtawng hüki he, akxo he a veia jah lawpüi u se a jah mdaw be.
And there went out a report of him into all Syria: and they brought unto him all who had illness, the afflicted with various diseases and painful complaints, and the demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics; and he healed them.
25 Kalile khaw üngka, Dekapoli khaw üngka, Jerusalem mlüh üngka, Judah khaw üngka, Jordan mliktui kam üngka, khyang khawhah naw Jesuha hnu läki he.
And great multitudes followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond Jordan.
