< Matthai 4 >
1 Jesuh te rhaithae kah a noemcai hamla mueihla loh khosoek la a mawt.
Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil,
2 Khothaih hnin sawmli, neh khoyin sawmli a yaeh bawt ah, a bungpong.
and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He hungered.
3 Te vaengah noemcai kung loh anih te a paan tih, “Pathen capala na om atah hekah lungto he voek lamtah buhla poeh saeh,” a ti nah.
And the tempting [one], having come to Him, said, “If You are the Son of God—speak that these stones may become loaves.”
4 Tedae Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Hlang he vaidam bueng nen pawt tih, Pathen ka lamkah aka thoeng ol boeih nen mah hing saeh tila a daek coeng,” a ti nah.
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 Te phoeiah anih te rhaithae loh khopuei cim la a khuen tih, bawkim kah tlungsoi ah a pai sak.
Then the Devil takes Him to the [holy] city, and sets Him on the pinnacle of the temple,
6 Te vaengah amah te, “Pathen capa la na om atah namah cungpung thuk lah, a daek coeng ta, a puencawn rhoek te nang ham a uen vetih, amih kut neh n'dom bitni, na kho khaw lungto neh na tongtah mahpawh,” a ti nah.
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 Jesuh loh, “Boeipa na Pathen te noemcai boeh tila a daek van,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to him again, “It has been written: You will not tempt the LORD your God.”
8 Te phoeiah rhaithae loh tlang bahoeng a sang la a khuen tih, “Diklai ram boeih neh a thangpomnah te a tueng.
Again the Devil takes Him to a very high mountain, and shows to Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,
9 Rhaithae loh, “Na bakop tih kai nan bawk atah he rhoek he nang boeih kam paek ni,” a ti nah.
and says to Him, “All these I will give to You, if falling down You may worship me.”
10 Jesuh loh, “Satan cet, Boeipa na Pathen bueng mah bawk lamtah thothueng tila a daek coeng,” a ti nah.
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 Te daengah rhaithae loh a hlah. Te phoeiah puencawn rhoek loh pahoi a paan uh tih Jesuh te a khut uh.
Then the Devil leaves Him, and behold, messengers came and were ministering to Him.
12 Johan a voeih uh te a yaak vaengah Galilee la khoe uh.
And Jesus, having heard that John was delivered up, withdrew to Galilee,
13 Nazareth te a hnoo tih, Zebulun neh Naphtali vaang khuikah Kapernaum tuikaeng la pawk tih kho a sak.
and having left Nazareth, having come, He dwelt at Capernaum that is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 Te daengah ni tonghma Isaiah loh a thui te a soep eh.
that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
15 “Zebulun peng neh Naphtali peng, tuipuei kah longpuei, Jordan rhalvangan, namtom rhoek kah Galilee,
“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations!
16 Yinnah khuikah ngol sut pilnam loh vangnah a len koek a hmuh tih, dueknah hlipkhup kho ah aka ngol rhoek soah vangnah ha thoeng coeng,” a ti.
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 Te vaeng lamkah ni Jesuh loh, “Vaan ram te a yoei coeng dongah yut uh laeh,” tila hoe ham neh thui ham te a tong.
From that time Jesus began to proclaim and to say, “Convert, for the kingdom of the heavens has come near.”
18 Galilee tuipuei kaeng ah a pongpa vaengah, Simon la a khue Peter neh a manuca Andrew te boeina panit a hmuh. Tuihoi la om rhoi tih tuili ah lawk a voeih rhoi.
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 Te vaengah amih rhoi te, “Nangmih rhoi he kai hnukah hlang aka tu tuihoi la kan saii ni,” a ti nah.
and He says to them, “Come after Me, and I will make you fishers of men,”
20 Te dongah lawk te pahoi hnoo tih anih te a vai rhoi.
and they, immediately, having left the nets, followed Him.
21 Te lamloh a caeh vaengah a tloe kah boeina rhoi panit, Zebedee kah capa James neh a mana Johan tah lawng dongkah a napa Zebedee neh lawk a bo uh te a hmuh tih amih rhoi te khaw a khue.
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 Te rhoi loh lawng neh a napa te pak a hlah rhoi tih bang rhoi.
and they, immediately, having left the boat and their father, followed Him.
23 Jesuh loh Galilee kho tom ah cet tih, amih kah tunim ah a thuituen, ram kah olthangthen khaw a hoe, tlohtat boeih neh pilnam khuikah tlohnat boeih te a hoeih sak.
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 Te vaengah a olthang te Syria tom la cet tih, tlohtat a soeprhaep neh tloh aka khueh boeih, nganboh aka yook, rhaithae aka kaem rhoek, rhaihum neh aka khawn rhoek te a taengla a khuen uh tih amih te a hoeih sak.
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 Te dongah Galilee, Decaplois, Jerusalem, Judea neh Jordan rhalvangan lamkah hlangping yetnu loh a vai uh.
And there followed Him many multitudes from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
