< Matayo 4 >

1 Nipele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu jwanlongwesye Che Yesu mwikonde kuti alinjikwe ni Shetani.
Then Jesus was led up into the desert by the Spirit, to be tempted by the devil.
2 Paŵatemi pangalya moŵa alobaini muusi ni chilo, mbesi jakwe jakwete sala.
And after he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he became hungry,
3 Nipele Shetani ŵannyichilile, ni ŵansalile, “Iŵaga mmwe ndi Mwana jwa Akunnungu ngasalile aga maganga gagalauche gaŵe mikate.”
So the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, bid these stones to become bread."
4 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ilembekwe mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu kuti, ‘Mundu ngakulama ni nkate pe, nambo kwa liloŵe lyalili lyose lyakuŵecheta Akunnungu.’”
Jesus answered him, "It is written, Not by bread alone shall man live, but by every word that comes from 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 took him up into the Holy City and stood him on the parapet 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 said to him. "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, "He will give his angels charge over thee; Upon their hands they will bear thee up, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."
7 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ilembekwe sooni mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, ‘Nkaalinga Ambuje Akunnungu ŵenu.’”
"It is written again," answered Jesus, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."
8 Nipele Shetani ŵanjigele Che Yesu sooni ku chitumbi cheleu ni kwalosya mwenye syose sya chilambo ni ukulu wakwe.
Then the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain, and showed all the kingdoms of the earth and the glory of them,
9 Ŵansalile, “Ni yose yi chinampe ni kuŵa yenu iŵaga chimundindiŵalile ni kumbopelela.”
and said to him, "All these will I give you, if you will 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.’”
"Begone, Satan!" answered Jesus, "for it is written, "Thou must worship the Lord thy God, and Him only must thou serve."
11 Nipele Shetani, ŵannesile Che Yesu, ni ŵaiche achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ni kwatumichila.
Then the devil left him, and behold! angels came and began ministering to him.
12 Che Yesu paŵapilikene kuti che Yohana ataŵikwe mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ŵandu, ŵajawile ku Galilaya.
Now when Jesus heard that Johnhad been arrested, 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.
He left Nazareth, and settled in Capernaum-by-the-Lake, near the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 Yeleyo ni ilyatite pakuŵa isyene liloŵe lilyaŵechetekwe kwa litala lya che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu,
in order that these words spoken through Isaiah the prophet, might be fulfilled.
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!
Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali; The road by the Lake; the country beyond 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 who were dwelling in darkness Have seen a great light; And on those who were dwelling in the land of the shadows of death Light has dawned.
17 Kutandilila kele katema Che Yesu ŵatandite kulalichila achitiji, “Nneche sambi, pakuŵa Umwenye wa kwinani uŵandichile!”
From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is near."
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 as he was walking by the see of Galilee, he saw two brothers- Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother-casting their net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
19 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Munguye, none chinantende ŵanyamwe mme ŵakwaikanawo ŵandu kwa Ambuje.”
"Come, follow me," said Jesus, "And I will make you fishers of men."
20 Papopo ŵalesile nyau syao ni kwakuya.
And they dropped their nets at once, 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.
As he went farther on he saw two other brothers, Jamesthe son of Zebedee, and Johnhis 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.
They immediately 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.
Then Jesus went about through Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and infirmity 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 his fame spread throughout all Syria. They brought all the sick to him, those who were suffering from various diseases and troubles- demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics-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.
Great crowds followed him from Galilee, from the ten towns, from Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond Jordan.
