< Matayo 4 >

1 Nipele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu jwanlongwesye Che Yesu mwikonde kuti alinjikwe ni Shetani.
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 Paŵatemi pangalya moŵa alobaini muusi ni chilo, mbesi jakwe jakwete sala.
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward hungered.
3 Nipele Shetani ŵannyichilile, ni ŵansalile, “Iŵaga mmwe ndi Mwana jwa Akunnungu ngasalile aga maganga gagalauche gaŵe mikate.”
And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.
4 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ilembekwe mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu kuti, ‘Mundu ngakulama ni nkate pe, nambo kwa liloŵe lyalili lyose lyakuŵecheta Akunnungu.’”
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Nipele, Shetani ŵanjigele Che Yesu mpaka ku Yelusalemu pa musi wa Akunnungu, ŵammisile penani pa lusonga lwa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu,
Then the devil taketh him into the holy city; and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
6 ŵaasalile, “Iŵaga mmwe ndi Mwana jwa Akunnungu, nliponye paasi pakuŵa ilembekwe, ‘Akunnungu chachatuma achikatumetume ŵao ŵa kwinani kwa ligongo lyenu, channyakule mmakono mwao, ntakuligomba lukongolo lwenu pa liganga.’”
and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and, On their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ilembekwe sooni mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, ‘Nkaalinga Ambuje Akunnungu ŵenu.’”
Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God.
8 Nipele Shetani ŵanjigele Che Yesu sooni ku chitumbi cheleu ni kwalosya mwenye syose sya chilambo ni ukulu wakwe.
Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 Ŵansalile, “Ni yose yi chinampe ni kuŵa yenu iŵaga chimundindiŵalile ni kumbopelela.”
and he said unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Pelepo, Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Shetani ngambe kwaula! Ilembekwe mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, ‘Chimwatindiŵalile Ambuje Akunnungu ŵenu ni kwapopelela ŵawowo pewo.’”
Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Nipele Shetani, ŵannesile Che Yesu, ni ŵaiche achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ni kwatumichila.
Then the devil leaveth him; and behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
12 Che Yesu paŵapilikene kuti che Yohana ataŵikwe mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ŵandu, ŵajawile ku Galilaya.
Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee;
13 Ŵatyosile ku Nasaleti ni kwaula kutama ku Kapelenaumu musi wauli mbwani ja litanda lya Galilaya, mu chilambo cha Sabuloni ni Nafutali.
and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali:
14 Yeleyo ni ilyatite pakuŵa isyene liloŵe lilyaŵechetekwe kwa litala lya che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
15 “Chilambo cha ku Sabuloni ni chilambo cha ku Nafutali, litala lyalikwaula ku bahali, peesi lusulo lwa Yolodani, ku Galilaya, chilambo cha ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi!
The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
16 Ŵandu ŵakutama mu chipi chaliwone lilanguka lyalikulungwa. Nombe ŵandu ŵakutamanga pa chilambo cha chipi ni pa mmwilili wa chiwa, lilanguka chilyalanguchisye!”
The people that sat in darkness Saw a great light, And to them that sat in the region and shadow of death, To them did light spring up.
17 Kutandilila kele katema Che Yesu ŵatandite kulalichila achitiji, “Nneche sambi, pakuŵa Umwenye wa kwinani uŵandichile!”
From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18 Che Yesu paŵajimajimaga mungulugulu litanda lya Galilaya, ŵaweni ŵanakajumo ŵaŵili ŵakukoka, che Simoni jwakuŵilanjikwa che Petulo ni che Andulea mpwakwe. Ŵaliji mu litanda aninkukoka somba kwa lwau pakuŵa ŵaliji ŵakukoka somba.
And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers.
19 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Munguye, none chinantende ŵanyamwe mme ŵakwaikanawo ŵandu kwa Ambuje.”
And he saith unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 Papopo ŵalesile nyau syao ni kwakuya.
And they straightway left the nets, and followed him.
21 Paŵajawile mmbujo kanandi ŵaweni ŵanakajumo ŵane ŵaŵili che Yakobo ni che Yohana ŵanache ŵa che Sebedayo. Ŵanyawo ŵaliji mu ngalaŵa pampepe ni che Sebedayo atati ŵao aninkusaula nyau syao. Nipele Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile.
And going on from thence he saw two other brethren, James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
22 Papopo ŵajilesile ngalaŵa jila pamo ni atati ŵao, ni kwakuya.
And they straightway left the boat and their father, and followed him.
23 Che Yesu ŵajaulaga papalipose pala mu chilambo cha ku Galilaya, achijiganyaga mmajumba ga kupopelela ni kulalichila Ngani Jambone ja Umwenye wa Akunnungu. Ŵalamisye ŵandu ilwele yakupisyangana iŵaliji nayo.
And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the people.
24 Ngani syakwe syajenele mbande syose sya ku Silia. Ŵakulwala wose ŵaŵaliji ni ilwele yakupisyangana ni aŵala ŵakulaga, ŵaŵakamwilwe ni masoka ni ŵaali ni njilinjili ni ŵandu ŵakulemala ŵajawisye kweleko nombewo ŵalamisye ŵana wose.
And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought unto him all that were sick, holden with divers diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them.
25 Mipingo ja ŵandu achajinji kutyochela ku Galilaya ni ku Dekapoli yaani misi likumi ni ku Yelusalemu ni ku Yudea ni peesi lusulo lwa Yolodani ŵankuiye.
And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judæa and [from] beyond the Jordan.
