< Matthew 4 >

1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
Pepano uYesu akalongosovua nu Mhepo uMwimike kuluta ku lihaka, kuuti aghelue nu Setano.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward hungered.
Ukuo uYesu akavuhiila kulia mulwa kufuunya ifighono fijigho fine pakilo n a pamwisi. Pambel, e jikam'bava injala.
3 And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.
Pe uSetano akamwisila kukumughela akati, “Nave uve uli Mwana ghwa Nguluve, ghavuule amavue agha ghahambuke ghaave makate.”
4 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.
uYesu akamuka akati, “Lilembilue mu Malembe aMimike kuuti, 'Ikyakulia kyene nakikum'biika umuunhu kuuva mwumi, looli iiva mwumi vwimila amasio ghooni ghano ijova Nguluve.'”
5 Then the devil taketh him into the holy city; and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
Pe uSetano akantwala uYesu mu likaaja ilyimike ilya Yelusalemu. Akam'biika pakyanya fiijo apa nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila,
6 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.
akam'buula akati, “Nave uve uli mwana ghwa Nguluve, ghujughuje paasi, ulwakuja mu avanyamhola vaake kulyuve vakwang'e mu mavoko ghaave kuuti aleke pighua pa livue na kulemela.””
7 Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God.
uYesu akamwamula kange akati, “Mu Malembe aMwimike lilambilue kuuti, “Nungamughelaghe uMutwa, uNguluve ghwako.”
8 Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Kange uSetano akamtwala uYesu pakyanya pa kidunda ikitali, pe akansoona iisi sooni palikimo nu vuvaha vwake.
9 and he said unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
akam'buula akati, “Nave ghufughama na na kukunyimika une, nikukupeela ifi fyoni.”
10 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.
Pepano uYesu akati, “vuuka apa, Setano! Ulwakuva mu Malembe aMimike lilembile ndiiki, 'Umwimikaghe uMutwa, uNguluve Ghwako, kange um, bombelaghe jujuo mwene.'
11 Then the devil leaveth him; and behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Pepano uSetano akamuleka uYesu. Nakalingi, avanyamhola va Nguluve vakiisa, vakantengelela.
12 Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee;
Unsiki ghula uYohani uMwofughi alyadindilue mu ndinde. UYesu ye apuliike imhola ijuo akalutga ku Galilaya.
13 and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali:
Ukuo, akavuuka mu kikaaja ikya Nasaleti akaluta kukukala mu likaaja ilya Kapenaumu. Ilikaaja ilio lilyale mulubale mu lisube ilya Galilaya, imbale isa iisi ija Sabuloni ni ja Nafutali.
14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Uluo lulyavombiike kukwilanisia ilisio lino uMutwa alyajovile kukilila um'bili ghwake uYesaya kuuti,
15 The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
Ilise ija Sabuloni ni ja Nafutali, mu sila jino jiluta ku sumbe, imambo ja kikohka ikya Yolidani, iisi ija Galilaya, kwe kuno vikukala avaanhu vano na Vayahudi.
16 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.
Avaanhu vala vano vikukakala mu ng'hiisi, valwaghile ulumuli uluvaha; voonpe vano vikukala mu ng'hiisi ija vufue, ulumuli luvamuliike.”
17 From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Kuhuma unsiki ghula, uYesu akatengula kupulisia iiti, “Mulataghe inyivi siinu ulwakuva uvutwa uvwa kukyanya vuli piipi.”
18 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.
UYesu ye ighenda mulubale mu lisumbe ilya Galilaya, akavaagha avaanhu vavili vanamuunhu, juonga ghwe Simoni juno ilitavua ilingi akatambulwagha Peteli, nu Ndeleeya. Avaanhu ava valyale valovi, vakava nu nyaafu vilova isamaki mu lisumbe.
19 And he saith unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
UYesu akavavuula akati, Mumbingililaghe! Une nikuvaviika kuuva valovi va vaanhu.”
20 And they straightway left the nets, and followed him.
Unsiki ghughuo vakasileka inyaafu saave, vakam'bingilila.
21 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.
UYesu akaluta pavulongolo padebe, akavaagha avanamuunhu vavili uYakovo nu Yohani avakina Sebedaayi. Avuo, valyale mu ngalava palikimo nu viise uSebedaayi, vakava viling'hania inyaafu saave, voope akavakemeela.
22 And they straightway left the boat and their father, and followed him.
Pala pala avanamuunhu vala vakamuleka uviise ni ngalava, vakam'bingilila uYesu.
23 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.
UYesu akava ighenda mu kighavo kyoni ikya Galilaya. Akava ikwingila mu masinagogi ghaave, ivulanisia na kupulisia iMhola iNofu ija vutwa vwaNguluve, kange akavasosyaghe avatamu inhamu saave sooni.
24 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.
Imhola saake sikkakwila fiijo kuhanga kufika mu kighavo kyoni ikya Silia. Avaanhu pe vakavatwalagha avatamu vooni vano valyale ni nhumu sino silyale papinga. Mu avuo, mwevalyale vano valyale na mapepo amalamafu, na vanya kivafi na vanya liteela. UYesu akavasosyagha avuo vooni.
25 And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judæa and [from] beyond the Jordan.
Amapugha agha vaanhu kuhuma ku Galilaya, ku Dekapoli, ku Yelusalemu, ku Yudea ni mwambo ija kikogha ikya Yolidani ghakava ghikum'bili.
