< Matthew 4 >

1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert, in order to be tempted by the devil.
Lyahanu Jesu ca kashiwa ku luhuho lu jolola kuya mwi halaupa ku ku likiwa kwa Jabulusi.
2 And when he had fasted for forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry.
Halinyima zilyo mazuva ena makumi one ni masiku ena makumi one, ca fwa inzala.
3 And approaching, the tempter said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
Muliki neza kuwamba kwali, “Haiva u mwana we Ireza, u laele aa mabwe a sanduke zilyo”
4 And in response he said, “It has been written: ‘Not by bread alone shall man live, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”
Mi Jesu ne tava cati kwali, “ku ñoletwe, 'Muntu kete na hale ca zilyo vulyo, kono ni ca liinzwi li zwa mukaholo ka Ireza'”
5 Then the devil took him up, into the holy city, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
Linu Javulisi ca mu hinda kumu twala he wulu lwa muzako ujolola uva ketiwa we nkereke mulelele,
6 and said to him: “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down. For it has been written: ‘For he has given charge of you to his angels, and they shall take you into their hands, lest perhaps you may hurt your foot against a stone.’”
Ni ku mu wamvila kuti, “Haiva njewe u mwana wa Ireza, uwile hansi kakuli ku ñoletwe, ka laele mañeloi akwe mu aku vavalele, mu aku nyamune mu mayanza nji kuti itende lyako kanji li gunkiwa ibwe
7 Jesus said to him, “Again, it has been written: ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”
Jesu nati kwali, “Hape u ñoletwe, Kanji u liki infumwako Ireza.
8 Again, the devil took him up, onto a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,
“Hape Javulusi na mu hinda kumu twala he lundu lilumbite, ni kumu tondeza mileneñi ina munkanda yonse ni nkanya yayo.
9 and said to him, “All these things I will give to you, if you will fall down and adore me.”
Nati kwali, “Zonse izi zintu kani zikuhe, ci wa wila hansi ca mazwi. uni fukamine uni lapele”
10 Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan. For it has been written: ‘You shall adore the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.’”
Linu Jesu ca muta, “U zwe aha Javulusi! kakuli ku ñoletwe, “U fukamine Ireza i nfumwako, imi u seveleze iye yeke”
11 Then the devil left him. And behold, Angels approached and ministered to him.
Javulusi ca musiya; mi mañeloi ci eza kwa Jesu, ci a mu seveleza.
12 And when Jesus had heard that John had been handed over, he withdrew into Galilee.
Haho linu Jesu ca zuwa kuti Joani avva suminwa, na vola kwa Galilea;
13 And leaving behind the city of Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, near the sea, at the borders of Zebulun and of Naphtali,
Ca kuula kwa Nazareta ku ka zaka kwa Kapenauma, i wanika kumbali ni wate lya Galilea, mu cilalo ca Zevuloni ni Nafitali.
14 in order to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah:
Izi ziva pangahali kwi zuziliza ci polofita ca Isaya ha vati,
15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way of the sea across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:
“Inkanda ya Zavuloni ni nkanda ya Nafitali i vambene ni wate, mwi shilwa lwa Jodani, Galilea ya vantu vasena vavezi Ireza;
16 A people who were sitting in darkness have seen a great light. And unto those sitting in the region of the shadow of death, a light has risen.”
Vantu va vena mwififi, va va voni iseli ikando; linu va vena munkanda yefu ni mumu nzunde walyo, vava ñaatwilwa iseli”
17 From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say: “Repent. For the kingdom of heaven has drawn near.”
Kuzwa iyo nako Jesu na tanga ku kutaza nati, “Mu vake, mukuti mubuso wa kwiwulu ci wina hafuhi”
18 And Jesus, walking near the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishermen).
Havali kwa vwenda ku mbali ye wate lwa Galilea, ca vona vakwame vovele vana va muntu yenke, Simone yo sumpwa Pitolosi, ni Andriyasi mwancakwe, ci va sohela tunyandi twavo mwi wate, kakuli vavali vandui.
19 And he said to them: “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
Jesu cati ku vali, “mwize, municilile, imi muni mi pange vayamvi va vantu”
20 And at once, leaving behind their nets, they followed him.
Haho niva siya tunyandi twavo, kumwi cilila.
21 And continuing on from there, he saw another two brothers, James of Zebedee, and his brother John, in a ship with their father Zebedee, repairing their nets. And he called them.
Jesu hvvali kwa vu yenda vulyo ca vona vovele vamwi, Jakovo mwana wa Zebediya, ni Joani mwancakwe, va vena mu cisepe ni Zevediya ishavo, ni va onga tunyandi twavo. ca va sumpa;
22 And immediately, leaving their nets and their father behind, they followed him.
Haho civa siya cisepe ni shavo, kumwi cilila.
23 And Jesus traveled throughout all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every infirmity among the people.
Jesu na yenda mwa Galilea yonse, na ka ruta vantu mumasinagoge avo, nava wambila ivangeli ya muvuso, na hoza matuku onse ni vuhole vonse vuvena ku vantu.
24 And reports of him went out to all of Syria, and they brought to him all those who had maladies, those who were in the grasp of various sicknesses and torments, and those who were in the hold of demons, and the mentally ill, and paralytics. And he cured them.
Intava zakwe ci za ka zuweka kwa Siriya yonse; ni kwa letwa kwali valwala vonse malwalo a cincana cincana, ni va katazehete, ni va vena inhuho imbi, ni vava li ku liwa kuzuminina, ni vava li ku zuminina luñañali; Jesu ca va hoza.
25 And a great crowd followed him from Galilee, and from the Ten Cities, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from across the Jordan.
Vungi vwavo vu a kuzwa kwa Galilea, ni kwa Dekapolisi, ni kwa Jelusalema, ni kwa Judeya, ni mwishilwa lya Joludani, ci vwa mwi cilila.
