Matthew 4
1 Tua zawkciang doaimangpa i ze-etna thuak tu in Thaa in duisung ah paipui hi.
At that time Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the Desert in order to be tempted by the Devil.
2 Sun sawm li le zan sawm li an a tan zawkciang, Jesus a ngilkial hi.
There He fasted for forty days and nights; and after that He suffered from hunger.
3 Tasia ciang ze-et tu pa hongpai a, Pathian Tapa na hile, suang hite anluum suak tu in thupia in, ci hi.
So the Tempter came and said, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to turn into loaves."
4 Ahihang Jesus in, Mihingte sia anluum bek taw hi ngawl in, Pathian kam pan a pusuak kammal taw nungta hi, ci in ki at hi, ci in zo kik hi.
"It is written," replied Jesus, "'It is not on bread alone that a man shall live, but on whatsoever God shall appoint.'"
5 Tua zawkciang doaimangpa in Jesus sia khuapi thiangtho ah paipui a, biakinn khuvum ah a domto zawkciang,
Then the Devil took Him to the Holy City and caused Him to stand on the roof of the Temple,
6 Pathian Tapa na hile nangma le nangma ki khiasuk in, banghangziam cile Pathian in a khut taw hong dom tu in vantungmi te thupia tu a, na peang suang taw ki khen ngawl tu hi, ci ki at hi, ci hi.
and said, "If you are God's Son, throw yourself down; for it is written, "'To His angels He will give orders concerning thee, and on their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any moment thou shouldst strike thy foot against a stone.'"
7 Jesus in, Na Topa Pathian na ze et heak in, ci zong ki at thua hi, ci in zo kik hi.
"Again it is written," replied Jesus, "'Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the proof.'"
8 Tua zawkciang doaimangpa in mualsang mama tung ah Jesus paipui in, leitung kumpingam theampo le vangletna te lak a,
Then the Devil took Him to the top of an exceedingly lofty mountain, from which he caused Him to see all the Kingdoms of the world and their splendour,
9 Ka mai ah kun in nong bia le, hi teng theampo kong pia tu hi, ci hi.
and said to Him, "All this I will give you, if you will kneel down and do me homage."
10 Tuasia ciang Jesus in, Satan awng, tai in: banghangziam cile, Topa na Pathian bek bia in a, Ama na bek seam in, ci in ki at hi, ci hi.
"Begone, Satan!" Jesus replied; "for it is written, 'To the Lord thy God thou shalt do homage, and to Him alone shalt thou render worship.'"
11 Tasiaciang doaimangpa sia Jesus kung pan in tai a, vantungmi te hongpai in Jesus ou uh hi.
Thereupon the Devil left Him, and angels at once came and ministered to Him.
12 John thongtak hi, ci thu Jesus in a zakciang in, Galilee ah pai hi;
Now when Jesus heard that John was thrown into prison, He withdrew into Galilee,
13 Nazareth khua nusia in, Capernaum ah om tu in pai hi, tua khua sia Zebulun le Naphtali ngamngi, tuipi hui ah a om khua a hihi.
and leaving Nazareth He went and settled at Capernaum, a town by the Lake on the frontiers of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 Hibang teng sia kamsang Isaiah i sonkholsa,
in order that these words, spoken through the Prophet Isaiah, might be fulfilled,
15 Zebulun ngam le Naphtali ngam, Jordan ngun ngal tuipi pai na lam hui, Gentile mite omna mun Galilee;
"Zebulun's land and Naphtali's land; the road by the Lake; the country beyond the Jordan; Galilee of the Nations!
16 Khuazing sung ah a teang mihingte in, a lian mama khuavak mu tu a, thina lim nuai ah a om te tung ah khuavak tang tu hi, ci thu a tangtun na a hihi.
The people who were dwelling in darkness have seen a brilliant light; and on those who were dwelling in the region of the shadow of death, on them light has dawned."
17 Tua hun pan kipan Jesus in, Na mawna ki sikkik vun: banghangziam cile vantung kumpingam hong nai zo hi, ci in thuhil kipan hi.
From that time Jesus began to preach. "Repent," He said, "for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand."
18 Jesus Galilee hui ah a va laitak in ngasa man te u nau ni, tui sung ah ngen a pai laitak mu hi, tua u nau ni te sia Peter a kici Simon le a nau Andrew te a hihi.
And walking along the shore of the Lake of Galilee He saw two brothers--Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew--throwing a drag-net into the Lake; for they were fishers.
19 Jesus in amate tung ah, Hong zui tavun, mihing mante kong suaksak tu hi, ci hi.
And He said to them, "Come and follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
20 Tasia pociang amate in a ngen te nusia uh a, ama zui pai uh hi.
So they immediately left their nets and followed Him. As He went further on,
21 Tua mun pan a paisuak uh ciang, Zebedee tapa te ni James le John te u nau mu hi, amate sia a pa taw ngunkuang sung ah a ngente a phaw laitak hi a; Jesus in amate sam hi.
He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zabdi and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zabdi mending their nets; and He called them.
22 Tasia pociang a ngunkuang le a pa nusia in zui pai hi.
And they at once left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
23 Jesus Galilee ngamsung theampo ah vak in, amate synagogue tatuam te ah thuhil a, kumpingam lungdamna thu son kawm in natna tatuam a thuak cina te damsak siat hi.
Then Jesus travelled through all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity among the people.
24 Syria ngamsung theampo ah a minthang mama a: natna le ngimna namcin a thuak cina theampo ahizong, doai vei te, butthi thei te le langngaw te damsak siat hi.
Thus His fame spread through all Syria; and they brought all the sick to Him, the people who were suffering from various diseases and pains--demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics; and He cured them.
25 Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judah le Jordah ngunngal pan mihon tampi te in Ama zui uh hi.
And great crowds followed Him, coming from Galilee, from the Ten Towns, from Jerusalem, and from beyond the district on the other side of the Jordan.
